Interview: Shell & Avahn

Meeting and playing together in local band Victory Risk, the Shell & Avahn collaboration is a match made in music heaven. Forming an acoustic duo thanks to familiar talents, this definitive duo hit the road and has since played across Perth and WA. This month, the duo will join some of Australia’s best underground artists at the Lights Out Arts Festival. Music Writer Tom Munday chatted to Shell Italiano about their overwhelming transition, our music scene, and LOAF.

How did Shell & Avahn come together?

Avahn and I play in a band called Victory Risk which we have been a part of for around 3 years. We have decided to start an acoustic duo to broaden our horizons and get our music out to more people in the community. We understand that ‘rock’ music isn’t for everyone but we believe out music transcends into different genres and is able to appeal to more people. We were seeking another music outlet to keep our sound fresh.

How did the two of you find a signature, collaborative sound?

We brought particular rock elements from our band Victory Risk into our acoustic set but incorporated a more melodic, chilled-out sound. We work really we together so its just about finding a balance.

How does Perth’s music scene typically respond to a new duo such as Shell & Avahn?

Perth typically responds to duos very positively. The community really gets behind local artists who are trying to create new sounds and expand Perth’s music scene.

What have been the highlights and lowlights of your collaboration, thus far?

As apart our band (Victory Risk) we have be fortunate to win a few competitions and we have been able to play with numerous national and international acts including San Cisco, Tonight Alive and Amy Meredith and we will be playing with USA band The Almost his coming April, but, as a duo, this (the Lights Out Arts Festival) is the highlight by far. We are so pleased to be apart of this fantastic festival to raise money and awareness.

What will you bring to the Lights Out Arts Festival? How important are events like these for groups like Shell and Avahn?

Events like these are so important for local acts. It allows the artists to get their brand out there and create hype in the community. Perth has such a small music scene so events like these are so valuable to artists, It is so important that the community gets involved in promoting music as without festivals, music events and music competitions Perth’s music scene could very easily slip away. With the amount of national and international acts diminishing touring to western Australia it is up to local musicians to retain the  music scene which were very pleased to be apart of. We will be bringing a raw sound, just a guitar and some vocal. Keeping it simple and pure. The sound is a combination of styles and hopefully will be received well. We want to open the event with a positive feel – something that gets people singing along and enjoying the beautiful atmosphere.

  • Bash 4 will let you do {00..19} to get leading zeros, but Bash 3 doesn't have that feature. This technique gets you partway there (the sequences need be such that the last digit ranges from zero to nine - you can't use this for something like Bash 4's {03..27}, for example). When this limitation is not a problem, you can avoid some complicated string manipulation for concatenating leading zeros. You can add more digits like this: {0..1}{0..9}{0..9} (ranges from 0 to 99 with up to two leading zeros). To pad with additional zeros: for i in 000{0..1}{0..9}; do echo $i; done or for i in {0..1}{0..9}; do echo "000$i"; done This is useful for creating values to sort or for creating filenames with a fixed format. Note that this will also work: touch {0..1}{0..9} Show Sample Output

    for i in {0..1}{0..9}; do echo $i; done

What Others Think

If you allow non-builtins to generate the numbers, then the seq command (part of gnu coreutils) may also do this with "seq -w 19": for n in $(seq -w 19); do ... ; done seq supports a printf-style format string as well. On freeBSD, seq->jot.

The tweets from national recruiting analysts began appearing in succession at 11:01 a.m. Friday with the news that another five-star recruit had committed to Memphis basketball. A couple minutes after that, Precious Achiuwa confirmed his college choice in a distinctly 2019 way.

“GTG,” he wrote along with a Tiger emoji over a tweet from ESPN’s SportsCenter account announcing his decision.

And just like that, if there was any doubt before, there is none now.

Penny Hardaway and his staff — most notably Mike Miller — have built a college super team at Memphis for next season.

In a week’s span, the Tigers added another potential one-and-done recruit (Achiuwa), two top-50 guards from outside the area (Lester Quinones and Boogie Ellis) and ESPN’s No. 2-rated graduate transfer (Little Rock’s Rayjon Tucker). They’ll join a 2019 recruiting haul that already included the No. 1 prospect in the country (James Wiseman), one top-50 recruit (Olive Branch’s D.J. Jeffries) and two other top-100 prospects (East’s Malcolm Dandridge and Tennessee Prep’s Damion Baugh).

It’s an embarrassment of riches that nobody, not Kentucky and not Duke, can match. This isn’t just the best recruiting class in the country — and according to 247Sports, Rivals and ESPN, that’s exactly what it is — this is the best recruiting class in school history.

This is a team that should, at minimum, be ranked in the top 10 of every college basketball preseason poll, with the talent to contend for a national championship. This is a group of players that should draw an army of NBA scouts and national media to every practice and every game.

This is a roster that should run roughshod over the American Athletic Conference, that should look a lot like those John Calipari Memphis teams that dominated Conference-USA and consistently made it to the second weekend of the NCAA tournament.

This is a development that has already made Memphis basketball the trending topic on social media Friday, that already landed Hardaway his own segment on ESPN's "Pardon the Interruption" last week. But it will continue to bring attention and scrutiny this program hasn’t seen in over a decade.

Is Hardaway ready for the close up? Well, he hasn’t seem unprepared for anything else that’s come his way as a college coach, so why not trust him for now?

But other side of this, the folks from Kentucky, North Carolina and Kansas who want Hardaway and Memphis to fail, who are already calling for an NCAA investigation, simply because the Tigers have upset the balance of recruiting power in college basketball, is where it gets complicated.

It's why Achiuwa might become the most important recruit during this unprecedented run of Tiger recruiting wins.

Because how Hardaway coaches this 6-foot-8 Nigerian immigrant out of New York could determine if he’s able to pull off a recruiting coup like this again.

Achiuwa’s recruitment was unlike many high-profile recruitments you see in this age of social media. He didn’t narrow down his list publicly. He didn’t often speak to reporters. And neither did his family or his coaches.

Few analysts had a good read on what he wanted to do until recently, when he took an official visit to Memphis and it became clear Kansas and North Carolina were the other two main contenders for his services.

During this spring’s all-star game circuit, while playing at the McDonald’s All-American Game and the Nike Hoop Summit, Achiuwa appeared to elevate his stock from five-star prospect to one-and-done recruit. He’s considered a consensus top-20 recruit by all the major recruiting services, but some mock drafts view him as a potential top-10 pick in the 2020 NBA draft.

Achiuwa has always been an ideal power forward for Hardaway’s fast-paced system because of his athleticism and activity, and then he reportedly improved his jump shot and ball handling during his final prep season.

Show Thumbnails
Show Captions

But unlike Wiseman, who barring catastrophic injury seems destined to be no worse than a top-three NBA draft pick based on his measurables and potential, Achiuwa’s draft stock could vary based on his performance with the Tigers.

Hardaway’s challenge will be to ensure it doesn’t, or at least remains the same as it is today. Because the college basketball world will be watching, and so will all those other five-star recruits he’s going after next year, and the year after that.

This, of course, is the flip side of having a super team. Of bringing in a collection of talent that is so good, anything short of making the second weekend of the NCAA tournament would be viewed as a massive disappointment locally (and it might still be considered a disappointment nationally).

But who can worry about the flip side when we’re all doing flips in celebration?

Enjoy this moment, because you've been waiting for it ever since Hardaway got hired. You longed for this during those gruesome last two years under Josh Pastner and the excruciating Tubby Smith era.

Memphis basketball is finally the envy of college basketball, and we can worry about the rest later.

Quick and easy airport travel tips

by | | Post Views 557 Views

Airports are getting busier and busier, and the queues keep getting longer. Navigating the congestion quickly and efficiently is still possible if you are a savvy traveller. If you’re not these few essential airport travel tips may help…

Do your research

Airports are getting bigger and more challenging to navigate, and not all airports follow the same layout. Most of us travel from the same airport every year, but what if you don’t? Don’t worry help is at hand. Most airports have informative websites with easy to use maps, so you don’t need to be taken by surprise. Downloading an airport guide in advance can help you mentally prepare for the labyrinths check-in desks, security clearance points and shops before you even enter the complex.

Check-in online

If you are travelling light, check-in online before you leave the comfort of your home. Don’t leave anything to chance, print a copy of your boarding pass, get a copy sent by email, and download the airline App to manage your booking. If you aren’t tech savvy, don’t have an internet connection or your phone battery is running low, you still have the option of using the self-service check-in terminals at the larger airports. These are also a great way to avoid check-in queues. Hold luggage can be tagged and dropped off at an assigned point can without visiting a manned check-in desk, saving you the anxiety of a joining a long and winding queue.

Travel light

Do you really need to take so many clothes? Travelling only with hand luggage avoid the airport check-in queues and immerses you quickly into the departure system. With no bags to collect from the carousel, you can be the first through passport clearance and more importantly beat your fellow travellers to the car hire check-in desk. But beware, always pay attention to the airline regulations regarding baggage sizes. The guidelines are continually changing. A top tip for frequent travellers is to collect a range of bags to suit the different airline operators. That way you are never caught out by unexpected charges from officious airline staff.

Check for the latest deals

If you want to take two bags but don’t want to pay the usual luggage costs, there are a couple of budget airline options. For as little as £7 from UK airports you can currently prebook ‘hands-free’ with EasyJet and drop your cabin bag off at the Plus Bag Drop to go in with the hold luggage. It’s a win-win situation as you avoid the usual check-in queues and your luggage comes onto the arrivals carousel first. Plus you get to roam the airport bag free and still get to take your laptop/handbag with you on the plane. It also means you don’t have to wrestle for overhead locker space and can sit back and relax at the departure gate while your fellow travellers jostle each other in the boarding queue. This service is FREE for 3 phone users.

Ryanair currently offers a ‘Priority’ booking option to take a wheelie bag and a small under-seat laptop/handbag/rucksack in the cabin with you. You also get to board the plane first, so you are guaranteed overhead luggage space. There is a small fee of £6, which can be selected at the time of booking or up to 30 minutes before your flight departs via the Ryanair app. If you don’t use the service on departure, it’s always worth packing a flat second bag you can use as hand luggage just in case you buy lots of souvenirs on your holidays. Flybe offers this service at no extra cost, but the wheelie bag dimensions are 5cm smaller.

NBN Co mum on Telstra negotiations, copper costs

Negotiations with the telco are "progressing" according to NBN Co

Negotiations with Telstra over a new National Broadband Network deal in light of the government ditching its predecessor's fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP) rollout are "progressing" according to NBN Co – but that's pretty much the extent of the information that the company charged with rolling out the NBN is willing to reveal publicly.

Appearing before a Senate Estimates committee, NBN Co executive JB Rousselot said there is "good will" on both sides of negotiations between the NBN wholesaler and the telco.

"These negotiations are progressing. There is good will on both parts. They are complex... They are progressing and both parties are entering that conversation with good will," Rousselot said.

Asked by Greens Senator Scott Ludlam whether the negotiations were meant to be concluded by the middle of the year, NBN Co's head of strategy and transformation — who [artnid:529776|joined the company]] in October last year and led the strategic review into the network — said that NBN Co "didn't have a fixed date in the strategic review".

"We made some assumptions that had some allowance for that negotiation to take some time. They were part of the redacted section of the strategic review for commercial reasons not to put us at a disadvantage in our negotiations with Telstra."

The change in direction from a majority FTTP rollout to fibre-to-the-node (FTTN) for most premises means NBN Co will have to rely on Telstra's copper for the 'last mile' connection. Under the deal initially negotiated by NBN Co, the government and Telstra the telco was to shut down its copper network and transfer all customers to the NBN.

"What kind of leverage do you bring to those negotiations or are you simply a price taker at this point?" Ludlam asked Rousselot.

The NBN Co executive said the development of the NBN was also in the Telstra's interest. "Ultimately they will become a very large customer of NBN so they have an interest to make sure that that project goes through," he said. "So those are the types of conversations [we are having] with them."

"They are a private company; I expect that they would be doing as good as they can [in negotiations] from a commercial perspective," Rousselot said.

"A similar thing from an NBN side – we will try to get as good a deal as we can for the shareholders and ultimately the taxpayers of Australia."

Rousselot said he didn't have any information that indicated NBN Co would fail to close the new deal within the company's funding envelope.

Citing commercial reasons, the executive said that he could not reveal whether the company was seeking to buy or lease certain parts of Telstra's infrastructure nor publicly release NBN Co's assumptions about the maintenance and remediation costs of the copper network, which were redacted in the strategic review.

"And so it's the end of May 2014 and you still can't tell us what those estimates are?" Ludlam said.

"Until the negotiations are completed, I don't think it would be appropriate to release that number," Rousselot said.

Teen gets prison term for attack on Scientology Web site

Dmitriy Guzner also ordered to pay $37,500 to church for DDOS attack in 2008

A 19-year-old New Jersey man this week was sentenced to a year and a day in federal prison for attacking the Church of Scientology's Web site in January 2008.

Dmitriy Guzner, of Verona, had pleaded guilty to one count of unauthorized impairment of a protected computer in May at the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey.

Guzner was also ordered to pay $37,500 in restitution to the church and remain on probation for two years following his release from prison. He faced up to 10 years in prison and a fine of $250,000.

Guzner took part in a series of distributed denial of service attacks that knocked the Church of Scientology's Web site offline for several days. The DDOS attacks began Jan. 19 and proceeded to knock the Scientology.org Web site offline by hitting it with several bursts of up to 220Mbit/sec. in unwanted Internet traffic.

The attacks were attributed to a loose-knit underground hacking group called Anonymous that some have likened to a cyber-vigilante organization. The group has posted criticism of Scientology on its Web site.

Prosecutors said Guzner denied being part of Anonymous group, but said he participated in the attacks because he believed it would further the cause of the "anti-Scientology" organization.

A federal grand jury in Los Angeles last month indicted a second man, Brian Thomas Mettenbrink, on charges connected with the Church of Scientology attack.

Anyone been refused a Neuro/psychiatric evaluation by insurance?

Discussion in 'General Parenting' started by 4Tall, Mar 31, 2016.

    4Tall Member

    I am really frustrated because my child's care team has recommended a neuro/psychiatric evaluation. And I read a lot of posts here, recommending one. I adopted my child from foster care, so he receives medication-Cal for his medical coverage. I jumped through all the hoops to request the neuro/psychiatric evaluation, but now, three months later, all that was authorized was a regular psychiatric evaluation.

    Has anyone had this experience? How did you push to get a neuro/psychiatric evaluation?

    I have filed for a due process hearing, which can take up to 90 days, but do you have any suggestions for what I can do now?

    He is 12 years old and cannot even carry on a conversation with peers or adults. The only way he can stay involved in a conversation is if he starts the topic, interrupting the current topic that is being discussed. Or if he relates a movie, scene-by-scene. He cannot play with peers either, unless closely supervised by an adult.

    There are many other issues, but I need to get this evaluation. I would appreciate any suggestions.

    Did you try a neuropsyc located at a university hospital? Almost all take medicaid. That's where we went. He was also adopted and on our states form of medicaid. It was covered 100 per cent.

    Sounds like maybe birthmother drank or did drugs during her pregnancy. My son was born with Crack in his system, but is independent and doing well. Do try to find help for that exam and tons and tons of good luck. Keep posting.

    Other good evaluation options:
    - Child behavioral/developmental team evaluation, usually out of a children's hospital or teaching hospital
    - PhD-level clinical psychologist with a specialty in and experience in comprehensive evaluation

    A multi-disciplinary evaluation is another route to go. You usually find these at teaching hospitals.

    They take a bit longer to complete because of scheduling all the various experts, but are very thorough.

    I had mine as an adult and it confirmed my bipolar, showed that the "odd ducks" that kept showing up on the maternal side of my family were autistic and so was I, and found two learning disabilities that I'd had all my life and just thought I'd sucked at those two things (math and writing coherently with pen and paper. I'm a demon with a keyboard and my mother taught me to type at a very early age)

    Edie the insurance say why it was denied? Our private insurance denied too, but said they wanted the school to do IQ testing first. I got that done, then they did OK the testing. KSM
  6. GoingNorth

    GoingNorth Crazy Cat Lady

    My testing was free as it was part of a family study being done at a teaching hospital.
    They evaluated my mother as well, and really doubt ins would've paid for an evaluation on a 70-ish year old woman that wasn't for Alzheimer's.

    Not, Edie....Did... Ugghhh, auto correct... KSM

    Yes, and I tried to write Neuro/Psychological, not psychiatric!

    I am trying to find out from the contact person who denied it, why it was denied. We can't get any mental health services without requesting them through a complicated process. Because of adopting my kids from a different county than we live in.
  9. ForeverSpring

    ForeverSpring Well-Known Member

    Is it possible to get help in that county? I adopted kids from other counties too but was always allowed to take them where I wanted. Can you take them to good doctors in the other county? Wiw, what a mess. Maybe all states are different that way.bwe adopted in Illinois.
  10. 4Tall

    4Tall Member

    Yes, it would be possible to get it done in their county of origin. But it is 4 hours away and we would have to go to a regular md there first, to get referred for a neuro/psychological exam. The neuro/psychological exam takes about 3 - 4 visits. So, basically, it would be very difficult and my son would be very stressed at the time of the exam, due to traveling so far.

The 7 Components of a Complete Managed Network Service

Your clients depend on you to run their IT network, which is a business-critical asset. Almost every app, system, and person in a modern company connects to the network. They rely on it to get things done.

So when your client’s network goes down, their business stops. Productivity plummets and revenue is jeopardized. And your relationship with your client is suddenly at risk, too.

Their network needs to just work—all the time. So your clients need a service provider who can operate their network effectively and reliably. They need you.

And when the network is the engine your client’s company runs on, they need complete and proactive network operations from you. They’re depending on it.

Need some guidance about managed network services? Contact Us >>

So what’s a complete managed network service?

There are 7 components to a complete managed network service.

  • Client knowledge –so you know exactly what your client requires and expects
  • Real-time awareness – so you know exactly what’s happening on your client networks at all times
  • Controlled access – so you can manage user access and network device credentials in one secure location
  • Network continuity – so you can get client networks back up and running quickly when disaster strikes
  • Integrated workflows – so your processes are as efficient as possible
  • Reporting – so you can demonstrate your value
  • Network expertise – so you can deliver top-notch service

Providing all 7 of these components will ensure you’re safeguarding your clients’ network operations and delivering on the trust they place in you.

Providing all 7 of these components will also give you a leg up on your IT service provider peers. Most MSPs aren’t providing comprehensive network services.

That’s because delivering comprehensive network operations is hard.

So let’s make it simpler.

You have great tools for seeing and managing servers and endpoints, but not network infrastructure. That means managing network infrastructure is a highly manual activity. You or your techs are manually installing probes, building VPN tunnels, logging into CLIs— device, by device, by device—typing in ‘show’ commands, and parsing what comes back.

Despite tremendous advances in every other area of IT, there just hasn’t been a system that lets you easily see, manage, and automate network infrastructure in the way that’s needed to deliver truly effective network operations. Until now.

Auvik’s cloud-based system gives you the infrastructure visibility and control you need to offer a complete managed network service, all based on best practices.

With Auvik, you can:
  • Visualize and know everything on a client network in real time
  • Securely manage credentials and network access for every tech on your team
  • Quickly pinpoint root causes and fix issues
  • Remotely access any client device in seconds—no VPN required
  • Manage all your clients through a single dashboard
  • Integrate seamlessly with ConnectWise for maximum efficiency
  • Easily export reports to demonstrate your value—and much more

When you combine Auvik with the power of the ConnectWise business management platform, you get an integration that helps you scale your business, powered by comprehensive managed network services. Use pre-configured or custom alerts within Auvik to auto-create tickets directly in ConnectWise Manage, and see ConnectWise Manage updates synced back into Auvik.

With Auvik & ConnectWise, you get more of what your business needs most.

Make a difference through EnviroWatts®.

EnviroWatts is an earth-friendly way to support the use of renewable energy and promote research and development of new renewable energy sources in Ohio.

Here’s how it works: Consolidated Cooperative members can purchase 100-kilowatt-hour “blocks” of energy, for $2 per block per month. The $2 fee supports the purchase and production of renewable energy sources, as well as research and development.

What renewable energy source is used to produce EnviroWatts?

Consolidated Cooperative’s electricity is produced with a variety of renewable sources, including hydropower and solar power. In Ohio, we also have several methane gas plants. At two landfills, the methane gas produced by decaying trash is harnessed—instead of being released into the atmosphere— and used to power turbines that generate electricity. At three farms, biodigesters capture the methane gas from animal waste and generate electricity.

How to Participate

You can participate in the EnviroWatts program for as little as $2 a month. By purchasing just one block of EnviroWatts each month for a year, you can have the same environmental impact as not driving your car for three months or not using two-and-a-half barrels of oil.

To learn how you can support renewable energy, contact Consolidated Cooperative at (800) 421-5863. Together, we can make a difference.

Locating Underground Utility Lines

If you have a project in your yard that requires digging, protect yourself and others from unintentionally hitting underground utility lines. Call 811 before you begin.

By law, everyone —including homeowners—must contact the Ohio Utilities Protection Service (OUPS), the Oil and Gas Producers Underground Protection Service, 8-1-1 or 1-800-362-2764, at least 48 hours but no more than 10 working days (excluding weekends and legal holidays) before beginning any digging on their property. The depth of utility lines varies and there may be multiple utility lines in a common area, so it’s always smart to have them marked.

This information is from the Ohio Public Utilities Commission website.

Engine Noises that Scream Service is Necessary

Unfortunately, our vehicles can’t talk to us, but we can pay attention to sure signs, and some of these signs scream a little bit louder than other ones. When your vehicle makes a specific engine noise, it can mean numerous things, but the most important takeaway is that you should schedule a visit at Convoy Auto Repair for an inspection.  When you hear one of these noises emanating from your engine, you can think of it as your car’s cry to help. Here are the top 5 engine noises that scream service is necessary:  Hissing Sounds: If your engine is making a hissing noise, it is often indicative that there is an issue with your vehicle’s cooling system or your vacuum line.  Clunking: Is your vehicle making a clunking noise, especially when your car is going over a bump or pothole? If your answer is yes, your vehicle may be trying to tell you that there is an issue with the undercarriage.  Howling: Did you even know your vehicle could make a howlin ... read more

Estée Lauder appoints new head of corporate responsibility
Cosmetics giant The Estée Lauder Companies has appointed Pamela Gill Alabaster, who is making the move from L’Oréal, to head up the company’s strategy on global corporate responsibility.

Alabaster will now be responsible for implementing the company’s continued development of this strategy, which has proved to be an increasingly important aspect of the company’s long-term business objectives.

In her new role, Alabaster will report to Gregory Polcer, executive vice president of global supply chain and Peter Jueptner, senior vice president for strategy and new business development, who in turn both report directly to CEO William Lauder.

Increasing the sustainability stakes

“The establishment of a formal Corporate Responsibility function will enable us to better integrate and drive more sustainable practices throughout the organization around the world,” said Polcer.

Alabaster has held several high level positions at L’Oréal USA, where the focus of her work was management and marketing.

Most recently she held the position of senior vice president of corporate communications for sustainability, which gave her the direct experience needed to take on the role at Estée Lauder.

Other key functions at L’Oréal USA including corporate media, public affairs and sustainable development and led the strategic brand marketing of the L’Oréal Paris and Lancôme brands in the US.

More women in executive positions at Estée Lauder

The newly appointed head of sustainability follows on from a number of other female executive appointments at Estee Lauder, which have included the appointment of two new female presidents as part of a complete restructuring of the group presidents at the end of last year, doubling the number of appointees to four.

The restructuring saw Thia Breen named as group president North America, having led the Company’s home market, she now continues to develop the Company’s strong retailer partnerships within the region.

Also Lynne Greene was named to the new position of group president, continuing to oversee the Clinique, Origins and Ojon global brands, with the addition of the Aveda and Darphin brands.

Oil & Gas Firm Now Has ‘Capital in Place to Fund Immediate Growth’

November 28, 2018

The Energy Report

Source: Streetwise Reports   11/26/2018

A Mackie Research Capital Corp. report discussed some news and near-term catalysts of this Canadian company.

In a Nov. 21, 2018 research note, Mackie Research Capital Corp. analyst Bill Newman reported that Pulse Oil Corp. (PUL:TSX.V) generated gross proceeds of CA$11.3 million from an equity financing. It will use the funds to reactivate shut-in wells at Bigoray, to start the next phase of the miscible flood enhanced oil recovery (EOR) project at Bigoray and to drill a multiwell program at Queenstown. These efforts could increase the company’s oil production level in as early as Q1/19.

Newman pointed out that upcoming horizontal drilling at Queenstown and Nisku presents short-term catalysts. Whereas Pulse Oil owns 48 sections, or 30,720 net acres, in the Queenstown area in southern Alberta, drilling will mainly target the Mannville group, “specifically Glauconitic lithic channel sandstone reservoirs found at a depth of between 1,500 and 2,000 meters, which allows for relatively low drilling costs,” he explained. The first of two planned horizontal Mannville wells should spud in Q4/18.

In addition, Pulse Oil intends to reactivate two suspended Bigoray Nisku wells in late Q4/18 or early Q1/19. Newman noted that, recently, the “high-quality oil production at Bigoray received an impressive price of $79.23 per barrel and $80.29 per barrel in September 2018 and October 2018, respectively.”

The above activities could boost Pulse Oil’s production in Q1/19 to about 850 barrels of oil equivalent per day (850 boe/d) from 280 boe/d today, resulting from, say, one successful Mannville horizontal well at Queenstown plus the reactivated Nisku wells. The Nisku wells are expected to add about 200 boe/d of roughly 80% light oil.

The resulting boost in cash flow along with proceeds from the financing11.1 million flowthrough shares and 42.7 million unitscould be used for the next phase of the Bigoray EOR project. “A successful Nisku Reef EOR project could be a game changer,” Newman wrote.

Mackie Research has a Speculative Buy rating and a CA$0.50 per share target price on Pulse Oil “on the potential for low risk production growth through reactivation, recompletions and low risk drilling and the massive upside potential from the miscible flood EOR project at Bigoray,” wrote Newman. Pulse Oil’s current share price is about CA$0.16 per share.

Wallace Stevens: Hartford's Private Poet

When Wallace Stevens moved to Hartford from New York in 1916 to work in the insurance business, he was well-known in poetry circles but not yet acclaimed as one of the greatest poets of the 20th century.

He had been married for seven years to a woman his family thought beneath him; they didn't attend the wedding. Elsie Kachel had been a milliner and a stenographer, and she posed as the model for the design of the Winged Liberty Head dime, which the U.S. minted from 1916 to 1945.

Stevens had cut off ties with his parents.

And, outside of poetry and his work at the Hartford Accident and Indemnity Co., he also seemed to cut ties with the world. He didn't appear to care at all about the lack of attention from the press and often went out of his way to avoid it.

Poetry: A Magazine of Verse awarded Stevens its most important prize for a group of poems in 1920, three years before his first book, "Harmonium," was published when he was 44 — but the honor went unnoticed in Hartford.

Elsie does pop up in The Hartford Courant in 1920 as Mrs. Wallace Stevens, but only among a list of people who were assisting the chairman of the Hartford Musical Club — which was postponing its meeting.

When The Dial magazine asked Stevens for a biographical sketch to accompany several poems that were to be published in 1922, he begged off: "Do, please, excuse me from the biographical note. I am a lawyer and live in Hartford. But such facts are neither gay nor instructive."

For a long stretch, the Courant's lack of attention shouldn't be surprising.

After the birth of his daughter Holly in 1924, Stevens stopped writing poetry for about nine years. Many letters from 1925 to 1933 are devoted to genially fending off requests from Louis Untermeyer, Marianne Moore and others for his poems, to include in anthologies and poetry reviews.

"She babbles and plays with her hands and smiles like an angel," Stevens wrote to Harriet Monroe, the editor of Poetry, in 1925. "Such experiences are a terrible blow to literature."

"All lights are out at nine," he explained to Marianne Moore of the Dial, turning down an invitation to write a review. And, he explained to her in 1927, "The extreme irregularity of my life makes poetry out of the question, for the present."

"Nothing short of a coup d'état would make it possible for me to write poetry now," he apologized to Lincoln Kirstein of Hound and Horn in 1931.

But by 1932 he had started to send "scraps" to Monroe, almost apologetically.

"I wish it were possible for me to come to the aid of Poetry," he wrote.

Around this time, in 1932 The Courant ran as real estate news a photo of the home Stevens had purchased at 118 Westerly Terrace in Hartford's West End, near Elizabeth Park. This would become the poet's lifelong home, and, never having learned, or bothered to learn, to drive, Stevens walked the 2 miles between home and the office for many years, composing his poems in his head.

And there were the briefest of snippets of newspaper coverage.

In an article about a forthcoming reading by Monroe, the editor of Poetry, The Courant briefly refers to Stevens as a "local writer" who had won two prizes from the magazine.

And a short article in The Courant about Wesleyan University professor Wilbert Snow's 1934 talk to the New England Library Association mentions in passing that he had praised Stevens as "a poet's poet."

In 1936, Stevens won the famed Nation Prize for poetry, an achievement unremarked in The Hartford Courant. That same year, The Courant did report that Stevens had been promoted to vice president of The Hartford, and three other men had been named assistant secretaries. Stevens' appointment was the lead news, but only three men were pictured. There was no photograph of Stevens.

A three-sentence news brief in 1945 notes that Stevens had been named to the National Institute of Arts and Letters. Another three-sentence brief a year later reports that Stevens had won the Monroe Poetry Award.

'Virtually Unknown' And 'An Oddity'

As Christine Palm, former president of the Friends and Enemies of Wallace Stevens, put it in an article in the Hog River Journal: "...during his most productive years in his adopted hometown of Hartford, he remained virtually unknown to his neighbors and an oddity to his coworkers. He deliberately kept the city at arm's length while drawing inspiration from it." (The group's name is a play on the name of the Friends and Enemies of Modern Music, whose members, including Stevens himself, met at the Wadsworth Atheneum to hear works by avant-garde composers like Stravinsky.)

While notoriously prickly and solitary, Stevens wasn't completely antisocial. In an essay titled "Searching for Wallace Stevens" in "Twain's World: Essays on Hartford's Cultural Heritage," Steve Kemper reports that Stevens sometimes walked to work with Harry Tyler Smith, who worked at Aetna.

Smith would whistle Wagner as the two men walked. But when the Aetna company bus passed by, and Smith's co-workers urged him to get in, they wouldn't invite Stevens to ride with them.

Asked to repeat at the Atheneum a lecture he had given in New York at the Museum of Modern Art in 1951, Stevens declined: "Sorry. In Hartford I'm known as a businessman."

It's almost confounding that the taciturn and aloof Stevens worked early on as a newspaper writer. Accepted in 1897 at Harvard, nine days after he applied, he had proposed a two-year course of study: "I only desire a college education in journalism." According to J. Donald Blount, editor of "The Contemplated Spouse: The Letters of Wallace Stevens to Elsie," Stevens outlined the courses he proposed to take, because they were "adapted to the study of journalism. Because as a course they are broad and catholic benefiting the student in any event. Because they are just what I want, lacking nothing nor superfluous in any thing."

Years later, explaining his lushly complex poems would clearly have struck him as superfluous.

In "Parts of a World: Wallace Stevens Remembered," Peter Brazeau recounts the insurance executive's reply to an acquaintance who was baffled by one of his poems.

"It isn't necessary that you understand my poetry or any poetry," Stevens reportedly said. "It's only necessary that the writer understand it."

Helen Vendler, a professor at Harvard renowned for helping readers appreciate poetry, writes that Stevens once told another acquaintance, "I don't think you'd understand this unless you wrote it."

Eventually, his hometown newspaper caught up with Stevens. By then he was 70.

It was 1950, and he had won Yale University's Bollingen Poetry Prize for his "contribution to American poetry" and the National Book Award. The Courant noted that "in Hartford, he has avoided not only the glare of publicity but any publicity at all."

In a feature story two weeks later, Edward Parone wrote in The Courant that when Stevens was awarded the Bollingen prize, "he was almost a stranger in his own home-town. Then partially emerging from a fur cup of anecdotal legend he further contributed to that legend ... when, on the occasion of this recent, and only, public honor, he was asked, by telephone to see a reporter for a statement, Mr. Stevens said, 'I have nothing to say except Hooray,' and hung up."

Parone observes: "It is not that Mr. Stevens, incidentally, has never rhymed before but one does not expect him to rhyme at such a time."

A bit frustrated, Parone then goes on, with something of a journalistic pout: "Because no one will ever know what Mr. Stevens eats for breakfast and because there is a compulsion in people to bring the poet as well as the Chief Executive down to a nice, folksy level, everyone wants to know All about him. Mr. Stevens' one answer has always been, 'Read my poems.' That's an answer that of course pleases no one."

Parone also writes that Stevens recently had consented to have a new photograph taken by the newspaper: "'Can we come out right away?' asked the reporter. 'Good heavens, no,' was the answer. 'I never wear a clean shirt on a rainy day. Some nice sunny day...' Click!"

The 'Peculiarly Yankee Sound' Of Certain Words

Further prizes and press accolades came in a flurry over the last five years of Stevens' life, until his death in 1955. In 1954, The Courant published Trinity College Assistant Professor Samuel F. Morse's lengthy appreciation of the poet's and insurance executive's "remarkable accomplishments in two worlds." Stevens told him the walk to work every morning from his home took 46 minutes.

"Walking and thinking go well together," Morse wrote. "A good many of the things Wallace Stevens has seen on his walks get into his poetry. Statues in parks, stone lions in front of buildings, the Connecticut River, forsythia bushes in bloom against an early spring sky, chalk marks scrawled on the sidewalk. Anyone living in Hartford could recognize names and places in some of the poems, even though Mr. Stevens has said that he sometimes uses certain words because he likes their peculiarly Yankee sound, one of his favorites being 'Haddam.'"

In another tribute published in The Courant, Morse pointed out that Stevens is often thought to be difficult, "but the gaiety of his work usually survives the solemn comments written about it." After all, this was a man who playfully titled one of his poems "Le Monocle de Mon Oncle."

Stevens won the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize in 1955, just months before he died, and the Hartford City Council was eager to honor him. According to the May 15, 1955, story in The Courant, the deputy mayor, James Kinsella, wrote a resolution to praise and congratulate the "pre-eminent artist and citizen of Hartford."

It began: "Whereas, the vivid and perceptive imagery and imagination of the poetry of Wallace Stevens has received international acclaim among those more or less appreciative of his esoteric and distinguished art style..."

To Kinsella's dismay, the city clerk reading the full resolution aloud before the council voted read the word "esoteric" as "erotic."

Assuming he ever even heard about the goof, Stevens must have been amused.

3354 Peachtree

3354 Peachtree Road, NE, Atlanta, Georgia 30326
Proposed Development

Regent Partners is currently developing 3354 Peachtree, a 44 story, skyline-defining, mixed-use tower located in the heart of Buckhead at the intersection of Peachtree Road and Tower Place Drive. The building will feature 560,000 SF of Class AA office space (levels 5-26), 62 ultra-luxury condominiums (levels 28-44), nearly 11,000 SF of street-level retail, above-market ratio parking, and a suite of modern amenities. The building is easily accessible via multiple modes of transportation. It sits on top of the Buckhead MARTA station, features direct, proprietary access to Peachtree Road and Georgia 400, and fronts the newly constructed PATH400 Greenway that will ultimately connect to the Atlanta BeltLine. The project is expected to break ground in 2020 and is estimated to open in 2022.
