“My Precious Shepherd (Psalm 23:1–2): Volume One” from Christian Faith Publishing author Marywinn R. Lent enlightens, encourages, enables, and energizes readers. “My Precious Shepherd (Psalm 23:1–2): Volume One” helps readers find a deeper relationship with their heavenly Father for His glory.

(PRWEB) January 12, 2018

“My Precious Shepherd (Psalm 23:1–2): Volume One”: a candle that will help others penetrate into the dark recesses of this world and light the way for discouraged, despondent, and dejected people all over this Earth. “My Precious Shepherd (Psalm 23:1–2): Volume One” is the creation of published author, Marywinn R. Lent. Marywinn graduated from Savannah High School in 1963 where she was a majorette for three years. She then attended the University of Georgia where she met the love of her life, George Lent. They met in May of 1966 then married that December. She graduated from UGA with a BS in education with a major in speech therapy. George graduated with a doctorate in veterinary medicine. In June of 1968, George and Marywinn moved to Hilton Head Island. They have five children of their own. After spending two years in Russia, their five Russian orphans came to live with them for nine summers on their farm in the Smoky Mountains. While in Russia, they also met a Liberian daughter who lived with them for the five years she attended college. They currently have seventeen biological grandchildren and another six “adopted in their hearts” grandchildren from their Russian and Liberian children.

“God has made Himself so very plain to me in my life and in the last fifty-years with my husband. We have seen His hand working for us, with us, and to us. My desire is to first reach our family and to show that God is alive and well in a very mighty way in the life of all of His children.” --Marywinn R. Lent

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Marywinn R. Lent’s new book helps readers develop their relationships with the Almighty. The relationships most people share with the Lord are so superficial that they do not see or understand His presence. The author’s goal is to help readers recognize that God can be seen in everyday life. She wants to help them realize that all people can live their lives in the presence of the Almighty God by entering into the holiest of holies with Him each day. The daily walk with the Lord should be lived in the conscious presence of God as people carry out their mundane duties of life.

“Rising Above To God's Ways!” from Christian Faith Publishing author Samantha A. Personett is her personal quest to shed the judgement of the church and rediscover God in nature. By finding God in His own creation, Samantha A. Personett found hope, strength, and freedom.

(PRWEB) January 12, 2018

“Rising Above To God's Ways!”: a journey to find hope, strength, and freedom through faith and God’s creation. “Rising Above To God's Ways!” is the creation of published author, Samantha A. Personett. Samantha A. Stanage–Personett grew up in the small town of Three Oaks, Michigan, which sits near the beautiful Lake Michigan. Samantha has a degree in Early Childhood as well as a “Paralegal” Degree. Samantha attends Calvary Tabernacle where she has been a Sunday school teacher for around thirty years. Her hobbies are reading, writing while out in nature, photography, and boating as well as spending time with family and friends. Samantha loves to bake with her mother and sister. She especially loves to learn old recipes from her mother’s family. She loves being out in nature, walking on the beach, and collecting beach glass, rocks, and odd-shaped bottles. Samantha loves music and sings with the praise team at her church every Sunday. She also enjoys singing with her family at her parent’s house when they all get together. Samantha currently lives in Niles, Michigan and works in the office of a CNC Machine Shop. She loves people and wants to spread the gospel of Jesus wherever she goes.

“Your own personal journey with God awaits you! If you are a leader in a church, God wants you to use wisdom when teaching and look to the ways of Jesus when he walked this earth as our example! This book will encourage you to never give up in your walk with God!” --Samantha A. Personett

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Samantha A. Personett’s new book is her journey to God through nature.

“Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead. I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3:13-14

As Author Samantha Personett started to really look to God for answers, she noticed the best answers were always found away from people and out in nature. In God’s creation, she was able to open her mind and heart to God. She remembers walking on the shores of Lake Michigan at Weko Beach. The caressing wind and fresh air were thoroughly invigorating. She remembers feeling overwhelmed by the fact that God had made so much beauty for her to enjoy. God met her that day, thus freeing her from the judgmental burden of the church’s traditions and prohibitions.

From that day on, she began to look beyond mankind’s ways. She no longer worried about what others wanted from her. She no longer cared what the church wanted. She no longer carried guilt over her divorce, because she realized that God no longer wanted her to stay in a relationship poisoned by alcohol and drugs. In serving Jesus Christ, she broke free of mankind’s ideals. Walk with Author Samantha Personett on her journey through the natural world where she found hope, strength, and freedom once again.

OTTAWA, Jan. 12, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Telesat announced today the successful launch of its first LEO satellite, an important milestone in the company’s plans to deploy a global LEO constellation that will revolutionize broadband communications services around the world. Telesat’s Phase 1 LEO satellite was launched aboard a Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) operated by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO). The spacecraft was built by Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd. (SSTL) based in the U.K., a world leader in small satellites and part of the Airbus Defence and Space group.  Telesat’s LEO constellation will deliver high-performing, cost-effective, fiber-like broadband anywhere in the world for business, government and individual users. The initial constellation will consist of approximately 120 satellites by 2021 and Telesat is evaluating options to expand its system beyond this initial configuration.   

The company’s Phase 1 testing will demonstrate key features of Telesat’s LEO system design, in particular the capability of the satellite and customer terminals to deliver a low-latency broadband experience that MEO and GEO satellites cannot provide. Telesat has installed ground infrastructure at its teleport in Allan Park in Canada to support testing and has customers in growing enterprise segments who will be participating in trials during 2018.

“Telesat has a long record of industry firsts that have brought major satellite innovations to market and our LEO constellation will be another breakthrough that transforms global communications,” said Dan Goldberg, Telesat’s President and CEO. “The launch of our Phase 1 satellite is the starting point in making our next generation LEO system a reality and we thank SSTL and ISRO for the success of the mission to date. Telesat is uniquely positioned to deliver the world’s most advanced and capable LEO constellation given our deep technical expertise, strong track record of innovation, senior spectrum rights, and laser-like focus on customer service and support. We look forward to beginning customer trials on Telesat LEO and continuing to collaborate with industrial partners as we work to deploy a state-of-the-art, high capacity network that will deliver transformative, low latency, fiber-like broadband to commercial and government users throughout the world.”

*About Telesat* (www.telesat.com)
Telesat is a leading global satellite operator, providing reliable and secure satellite-delivered communications solutions worldwide to broadcast, telecom, corporate and government customers. Headquartered in Ottawa, Canada, with offices and facilities around the world, the company’s state-of-the-art fleet consists of 15 GEO satellites, the Canadian payload on ViaSat-1 and one Phase 1 LEO satellite which is the start of Telesat’s planned global LEO satellite constellation that will offer low latency, high throughput broadband services. An additional two GEO satellites are under construction with launches planned for mid-2018. Telesat is also a leading technical consultant providing high value expertise and support to satellite operators, insurers and other industry participants on a global basis. Privately held, Telesat’s principal shareholders are Canada’s Public Sector Pension Investment Board and Loral Space & Communications Inc. (NASDAQ:LORL).

After world record move from Barcelona to PSG, Neymar likely to join Real Madrid for £357m

Brazilian football star Neymar could well smash his own transfer record with a sensational move to Real Madrid.

The 25-year-old made headlines when he switched from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) for a staggering £198m last year. But if reports are to be believed, Neymar is now keen to move to the current La Liga and Champions League holders.

 

According to a report by Spanish newspaper Marca, the most expensive footballer on earth is the Galactico 'most craved' for by club president Florentino Perez. Neymar too is keen on making the switch, but his cost will be an earth-shattering £357m.

This comes less than six months after he moved from Barca to PSG. At that time, Neymar had shared an emotional video with his millions of followers on social media, telling them that FCB would always be in his heart.

 

The Brazilian's camp has apparently been sending out signals that he wants to play at the Santiago Bernabeu one day. Having not made a massive purchase since James Rodriguez in 2014, Madrid too are keen on reviving their 'Galactico policy'.

With the defending champions trailing Barca by a big margin in the La Liga points table, Perez wants to make a statement in the transfer market soon.

 

Although the likes of Harry Kane, Eden Hazard and Timo Werner are being looked at, Neymar seems to be the hottest target for Madrid.

The Spanish giants, though, are adamant to not go behind PSG's back to make the move. According to the report, Neymar could switch to Madrid in the summer of 2019.

The Sky Is No Limit for Vaisala: Vaisala's Pressure and Humidity Sensors Are Soon Again on Their Way to Space

*Vaisala Press Release*
January 12, 2018

The Sky Is No Limit for Vaisala:
*Vaisala's Pressure and Humidity Sensors Are Soon Again on Their Way to Space
**
NASA is preparing for the next mission to Mars timed for a launch in 2020. **Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI) is among the partners providing measurement equipment for the new Mars 2020 Rover. **The pressure and humidity measurement devices are based on Vaisala's sensor technology **and are similar to the ones already delivered to Mars on the first Curiosity Rover.* *In addition, Mars 2020 Rover will carry Vaisala's newer and more advanced pressure and humidity sensor heads.*
*
*The Mars 2020 mission is part of NASA's Mars Exploration Program and it aims to gather more knowledge on Martian atmosphere and other environmental conditions. The Mars 2020 Rover will be equipped with Vaisala BAROCAP® and HUMICAP® pressure and humidity sensors. The sensors are part of instrumentation designed by the Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI), and they will be used to gather accurate readings of pressure and humidity in the extreme environmental conditions of the Martian atmosphere.

The new mission equipment will complement the already existing measurement tools on Mars taken there by Curiosity in 2012. While working on Mars, Curiosity and Mars 2020 Rover will create a small-scale observation network which anticipates the extensive MetNet Observation Network planned on Mars for the future.

 "We are very happy and proud that Vaisala's equipment has again been selected as an affiliate for space exploration that will help us understand the world around us. Accurate and reliable measurements are in the core of this understanding. Vaisala's strength is exactly that: Our sensors function reliably and accurately also in the extreme conditions on Mars", says Liisa Åström, Vice President, Products and Systems of Vaisala.

*Sky Is No Limit
*
This is not the first nor the second occasion on which Vaisala technology has gone into space. Vaisala has a long history of providing sensors for space explorations, dating all the way back to the 1950s, when Vaisala converted the frequency of a radio theodolite to help track Sputnik I, the world's first artificial satellite. Since then, Vaisala has been involved in a number of fascinating missions, providing technology to help understand the universe.

Since 1992, Vaisala's carbon dioxide, humidity, and temperature sensors have been used to control life science experiments both onboard space shuttle flights and at the International Space Station.  Vaisala's pressure sensors were also part of NASA's Cassini mission which was launched in 1997, and in 2005 achieved the first ever landing on a moon in the outer solar system: Titan, the largest moon of Saturn. This is one of the most ambitious missions ever launched into space and is still ongoing.

Vaisala's technology is utilized in space exploration due to their extreme stability, which is vital due to the extreme environmental conditions in space. Vaisala's sensors are able to withstand extreme heat and cold and are highly tolerant of shaking and vibration of the space travel.

*Bread and Butter*
The humidity and pressure measurements are in the core of Vaisala. Vaisala's HUMICAP® sensor came on the market already at the beginning of 1970s, and BAROCAP® only some years after.

Vaisala HUMICAP® and BAROCAP® sensor technologies are used in numerous well known Vaisala products, such as radiosondes, weather stations and various industrial applications. Thanks to the long-term stability and accuracy of these sensors, as well as their ability to tolerate dust, chemicals, and harsh environmental conditions, the technologies are suitable for very demanding applications, also off Earth.
Over the years, Vaisala has always had strong focus on product development. Majority of Vaisala's product development is located in Finland, as is the sensor factory with its crown jewel, the cleanroom.

"Vaisala is constantly in the eye of the technological innovation and development. We invest a lot in the product development and also in basic scientific research, which is not very common in the business. The continuous development, in-house expertise, the keen interest in science and technological know-how keeps us on the top of the game", sums Åström.

*Making Observations for a Better World*

Exploring space fosters innovation and international collaboration and understanding the world around us. Investigating Mars is particularly important, as the planet's similarities to Earth could help us better understand the challenges we face on Earth, such as climate change.

"Vaisala has an authentic interest to make observations for a better world. By exploring a similar type of planet, we can learn something from ourselves, too", Liisa Åström says, and continues: "I believe the whole mankind is involved in these space crusades with curious minds. To me, Vaisala is representing that curiousness; we are always willing to learn, develop and understand the habitat and the environment which we are part of."

Gordon Banks - The Impossible Save

$

Friday 12 January, 2018Gordon Banks, arguably the world’s greatest ever goalkeeper, was eighty on 30th December. Inevitably what every commentator and journalist wanted to talk about, even more than the 1966 World Cup victory, was the world’s greatest ever save.

That ‘impossible’ save has taken on more significance as Gordon revealed his love of nature and his concern for what is happening to the planet we share. Gordon says, “Throughout my footballing career I have been fortunate enough in my lifetime to visit some of the most beautiful places on earth.I truly believe that we must unite to change attitudes and make the difference needed to save this beautiful world we live in. Sport and Art are consistent sources of inspiration to many, I believe sportsmen and women inspire people to achieve the impossible and artists open our eyes to see the beauty in so many things. Let us unite and fight to save this beautiful planet”.

In 2016, Gordon became a sport ambassador for NO MORE DODOS, a charity which uses Art, Sport and Lifestyle to raise awareness of the threats to endangered plants, animals, and their habitats. The charity commissioned a 1970’s pop art image of the save from artist Paul Windridge and the save has been adopted as an emblem and the metaphor which inspires their mission.

Says Geoff Francis co-founder of the charity, 'Gordon defied what appeared inevitable when he managed to make an impossible save from the greatest player in the world, Pele. Pele’s header had 'goal' written all over it. For many people the continued destruction of the planet is seen as inevitable. But that sort of thinking is not what the world needs.”

The commentators at the time, and for many years after, suggested that Gordon would not know how he did it. But that is not the case. He applied intelligence, understanding and experience as he set about preparing for the the prevailing conditions.

In Mexico the playing surfaces were baked hard. He saw how the ball was bouncing up high from the ground. And so it was on the day - as he dived he was able to anticipate how high the ball was going to bounce. He got a hand to it. The ball hit the top of his hand and looked as though it might still be heading into the top of the net. But as he hit the floor he saw that he had made the save.

For the sake of the planet and all the generations that will follow we have to take inspiration from the achievements of sporting heroes like Gordon, recognise the dedication and intelligence that brought them about and apply them in our own lives to the challenge. That challenge is to find the hero inside ourselves and to save this beautiful planet as Gordon asks us to.

TORONTO, Jan. 12, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

*Cariboo Gold Project *

*Brownfield Exploration *

Barkerville’s 2017 Exploration program was focused on it’s flagship Cariboo Gold Project located within Central British Columbia.  The company completed a 157,000 meter drilling campaign focused on resource delineation and expansion drilling on Cow and Island Mountain, with the majority focused on the Valley Zone and Shaft Zone.  Significant high-grade intercepts confirmed the mineralization model, grade continuity, and geometries. Some significant recent drill intercepts are as follows: *72.23g/t over 12.05m, 53.26g/t over 11.55m, 18.84g/t over 30.85, 14.69 g/t over 28.5m, and 20.53 g/t over 11.6m*.  Barkerville was able to identify and wire frame 145 vein corridors which will be the base for the resource estimate in 2018.

*Greenfield Exploration *

Barkerville’s greenfield exploration team was tasked with developing targets to the southeast of the of the central project area along the 67 kilometers of strike within the company’s Cariboo Gold Project.  Systematic, scientific exploration was able to identify 130 new targets through detailed mapping, soil, and rock sampling. Eleven of these are now at the drill ready stage.

*Operations (Bonanza Ledge)*

Portal and underground development began in the second semester of 2017 at the Bonanza Ledge mine.  Barkerville completed 470 meters of underground development in 2017.  Approximately 7000 tonnes of both low and high-grade development material was processed at the company’s 100% owned QR mill for commissioning and training purposes. The Mill will be restarted in March 2018 when a sufficient stockpile is on site at QR.

*2018 Objectives *

In 2018 the company is planning to undertake several actions which are anticipated to be  substantial catalysts for Barkerville.  We plan to publish an initial resource for Cow Mountain, Island Mountain and Valley Zones as well as an update for Barkerville Mountain,.  Barkerville will initiate drill testing of regional targets to confirm the mineralization model and district scale upside.  Bonanza Ledge anticipates finishing development in Q1 with stope production to follow. The company will also start its underground access, permit depending, in order to explore for increased underground resources at Cow and Island Mountain targets. This should reduce future drilling cost and improve our understanding of the mineralization. This underground access will also allow for trial stoping and bulk sampling that will supply valuable data related to rock mechanics, dilution, operating costs and processing.

*Management Change *

Effective March 1^st, 2018, Maggie Layman, currently Barkerville’s Exploration Manager, will replace Paul Geddes as Vice President Exploration and QP for the Cariboo Gold Project.  Paul will be pursuing other opportunities in British Columbia and the Company would like to thank him for his contributions to the Cariboo Gold Project and wish him all the best in his future endeavors.

Maggie has worked in mineral exploration with several other Major and Junior companies managing Brownfields and Greenfields gold and base metal exploration programs throughout Canada since 2006. Maggie has worked for BGM since 2015 and is responsible for directing the exploration programs at the Cariboo Gold Project. She is an active volunteer with the Association of Mineral Exploration Aboriginal Relations Committee.  Maggie is a graduate from Memorial University of Newfoundland Earth Science program and is a P.Geo and member in good standing with APEGBC in British Columbia. She is the Qualified Person (QP) for BGM in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.
