Atlas Consolidated Mining and Development Corp. saw its consolidated net loss rise by 8 percent to P879 million in 2016 mainly due to a one-time loss on tax credits. Atlas Mining said in a statement that it made provisions last year for a P495-million loss on disputed input tax credits. Excluding that, the company said it was able to improve underlying net loss by 53 percent to P384 million compared to P814 million in 2015. “The company realized both higher revenues and lower operating costs, benefiting from an ongoing cost and efficiency program,” Atlas Mining said. Revenues went up 7 percent to P12.1 billion due to an increase in the volume of copper shipped as well as higher turnover on gold that tempered the impact of lower copper prices. The company sold 4 percent more copper concentrates at 173,130 dry metric tons (dmt), but the prices fell by 10 percent to a full-year average of $2.21 per pound. On the other hand, Atlas Mining sold 18 percent more gold at … [Read more...] about Atlas Mining reports net loss in 2016

In March, Tennessee became the first state to bar sexually explicit drag shows from public places where minors may be exposed. Other red states such as Idaho, Kentucky, Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas are following Tennessee’s lead, pushing for similar legislation against such performances. “Just as state legislatures have worked to protect children from harmful cross-sex hormones or experimental surgeries, they are also tackling the broader problem of activist educators and administrators attempting to influence young children and push the left’s radical gender ideology,” Jessica Anderson, Heritage Action executive director, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. After Tennessee became the first state to prohibit drag shows in places where children may be present, several red states are pushing for similar legislation. States including Idaho, Kentucky, Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas are focused on passing legislation that would restrict or outlaw sexually explicit drag shows … [Read more...] about Here Are The 14 States Moving To Prohibit Sexually Explicit Drag Shows For Minors

Photo courtesy of Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas Facebook Page MANILA  – The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) is expected to raise its policy rate by 25 basis points or 0.25 percentage point to 6.25 percent on March 23 amid lingering concerns about the health of the global financial system. This will represent a slower tightening that, according to ING Bank, might pave the way for a likely pause of hikes in May. Before the latest policy meeting scheduled on Thursday, the Monetary Board (MB) went for hikes of 0.5 ppt on two previous occasions—February and December 2022. This, in turn, followed a 0.75-ppt hike in November last year. Since starting the tightening cycle last May, the BSP’s key rate has risen by 4 ppt from a pandemic-prompted historic low of 2 percent. Commitment Nicholas Mapa, senior economist at ING Bank, said a smaller rate hike this week will serve as an “insurance” considering that inflation remained well-above the government’s target range at 8.6 percent in … [Read more...] about BSP tipped to raise key rate to 6.25%

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Built Robotics has introduced an autonomous pile driving robot that will help build utility-scale solar farms in a faster, safer, more cost-effective way, and make solar viable in even the most remote locations. Called the RPD 35, or Robotic Pile Driver 35, the robot can survey the site, determine the distribution of piles, drive piles, and inspect them at a rate of up to 300 piles per day with a two-person crew. Traditional methods today typically can complete around 100 piles per day using manual labor. The RPD 35 was unveiled today at CONEXPO-CON/AGG in Las Vegas, the largest construction trade show in North America and held every three years. The 2022 Inflation Reduction Act “Building a Clean Energy Economy” section includes a goal to install 950 million solar panels by 2030. With solar farms requiring tens of thousands of 12- to 16-foot-long piles installed eight feet deep with less than an inch tolerance, … [Read more...] about Built Robotics Unveils Autonomous Pile Driving Robot, Expediting Solar Rollout

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Chris is CEO of Tercera, founder and former CEO of Appirio, and a serial entrepreneur with 25+ years of tech experience. Mental illness can have consequences that are just as severe as heart disease. Unfortunately, I learned this lesson the hard way, both personally and professionally. It’s why I am such a vocal advocate for why CEOs need to take a more proactive approach to mental health in their organizations. And it's why I’m so concerned about the current state of play. It’s not just individuals who suffer the complications of anxiety, depression and mental illness. They have a profound and tangible effect on businesses as well. Employees who report poor mental health are less engaged, less productive and, according to Gallup research, miss almost five times more work days than those who report good mental health. During tough economic times, as companies are forced to cut costs and do more with … [Read more...] about Why Wellness Should Be Top Of Mind For CEOs In 2023

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin As Russian and Ukrainian forces face off across the Dnipro/Dnieper River, Western militaries are re-discovering the strategic challenge posed by water barriers. Confronted by the 4 th largest river in Europe, the West’s failure to provide Ukraine fully amphibious assault vehicles suggests Western military planners are struggling to meld World War II-era river-crossing tactics into modern 21 st Century war-fighting doctrine. To retake occupied Ukraine, the Ukraine Army must, at a minimum, present a credible threat to the Dnipro River’s Russian-occupied eastern bank. Even if Ukraine has no intention whatsoever of storming the Russian held side of the Dnipro River, signaling a threat, and tying down Russian units is a smart thing to do. One way to discomfit Russian invaders in southern Ukraine is the abrupt transfer of old U.S. AAVP7A1 ( AAV-7 ) tracked amphibious assault vehicles. Used by the U.S. Marine Corps to … [Read more...] about To Make The Standoff Over The Dnipro River Count, Send Ukraine Amphibious Vehicles

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin An independent luxury hotel in Islamorada is thriving despite increased pressure to sell to big brands. For others, it’s a different story. Locals call him “the most expensive game in town.” He doesn’t actively advertise, because he doesn’t have to. Word of mouth, a string of famous swimsuit model photo shoots, and a lifetime of labor has kept his Moorings Village in Islamorada going since 1987. It has survived devastating hurricanes, financial crises and takeover bids. But owner Hubert Baudoin is a rare breed. Born and raised in Côte d’Ivoire, you’d sooner find him windsurfing in the Bahamas or blazing trails through the desert on a motorcycle before you’d find him hunched over a balance sheet. Like his safari-chasing father before him, he is something of an extremist. One who took root in the Keys, itself a land of extremes: tranquility and raging storms, poverty and wealth, alcoholism and detox retreats. … [Read more...] about The Best Kept Secret In The Florida Keys
