Melbourne, Australia, Feb 15, 2018 / 10:05 am (CNA/EWTN News).- The Melbourne Magistrates Court heard Wednesday that a charge related to a key witness in the case against Cardinal George Pell, accused of historical sexual abuse, is likely to be withdrawn.

In the Feb. 14 hearing, the director of prosecutions for the Melbourne Magistrates Court said that while they had not decided on the matter, the charge of a key complainant who died in January would likely be withdrawn.

Defense attorney Ruth Shann argued against the man's credibility, saying Pell's legal team would be examining the credibility of the “unreliable” witness when the formal four-week committal hearing begins March 5.

The witness, Damian Dignan, who died of leukemia in early January, and a fellow classmate at St. Alipius school in Ballarat accused Pell in 2016 of inappropriate sexual behavior when they were minors. The cardinal had previously been accused of acts of child sexual abuse dating as far back as 1961.

Shann said Dignan's complaints – which he made to Australia's Royal Commission in 2015, nearly 40 years after the alleged abuse, after reading about other cases in the commission in newspapers – had a “domino effect” in terms of other people contacting the police.

She said Pell's lawyers had subpoenaed material from the Dignan's lawyer and that they would pursue material connected to his complaint whether it was included as part of the case or not, since he was the “starting point,” and other accusers who spoke out after can't be understood without first dealing with their knowledge of Dignan's own complaint.

Pell's legal team last week subpoenaed medical records for other complainants to build their argument, however, the magistrate overseeing Wednesday's hearing, Belinda Wallington, denied the request due to a lack of what she believed was “substantial probative value” in the case.

She also questioned a request for a complainant's medical records from Justice Health, which provides medical services for Victorian prisoners, saying she would delay her decision until a hearing next week, the Australian reports.

This week's hearing took place Feb. 14 in Melbourne, and is the latest step in the ongoing case against the cardinal, who in June 2016 was charged by Victoria state police of multiple instances of historical sexual abuse.

After the charges were announced, Pell, Prefect of the Secretariat for the Economy and a member of the Pope's council of nine cardinal advisers, was granted leave from his post by Pope Francis in order to return to Australia for the trial.

Cardinal Pell, who was ordained a priest of the Diocese of Ballarat in 1966, has pled not guilty to the multiple counts of sexual abuse, and has maintained his innocence from the beginning.

“I am innocent of these charges, they are false,” he told journalists June 29, 2017, after the charges were announced, adding that “the whole idea of sexual abuse is abhorrent to me.”

Pell has testified multiple times before Australia’s Royal Commission denying abuse charges and is known to have spoken out against sexual abuses in the past.

“It is important to recall that Card. Pell has openly and repeatedly condemned as immoral and intolerable the acts of abuse committed against minors,” stated Holy See spokesman Greg Burke last summer.

However, Burke also underscored the importance of respecting the proceedings of the Australian justice system, which will ultimately “decide the merits of the questions raised.” Reported by CNA 2 hours ago.

As spotted by Android Police, customers in India can now purchase the Echo, Echo Dot, Echo Plus, and Harman Kardon Allure, although all of the speakers are notably more expensive than the versions sold in the US.

The Echo speakers have also received support for English (India) to go along with English (English (Australia), English (Canada) English (UK), English (US), German, and Japanese), but so far they seemingly don’t support Hindi, which will limit the potential audience for the Echo in India.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Feb. 15, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

*Tajiri Resources Corp.* (the "Company") (TSXVENTURE:TAJ) is pleased to announce that, subject to TSX Venture approval, it has entered into an Agreement with Australian-listed Middle Island Resources Limited (or ‘MDI’), that will see it acquire, through option, an 100% interest in the advanced *Reo* *Gold* Project, located in Burkina Faso, West Africa. The Reo Project is of regional scale, covering 1,002km^2 at the confluence of the prolific Houndé and Boromo greenstone belts which are hosts to several substantial gold deposits of including: Karma 3.8Moz, Bissa 6.6Moz, Hounde 4.9Moz and Mana 8.6 Moz (reported inclusive of all P&P reserves and all M,I&I Resources)^1The Reo Project, which has had approximately USD$8 million spent on exploration since the mid 2000s, contains two advanced prospects: The Morley Prospect - where shallow Reverse Circulation (RC) and Aircore drill intercepts include: KRAC011-aircore: *34m@16.48g/t*, KRAC128-aircore: *39m@2.62g/t, *KR020-RC:* 38m@2.33g/t, *KRC022-RC:* 10m@7.55g/t, *MRRC0005-RC:* 10m@9.63g/t,* and the K4-K5 Prospect - where RAB, aircore, RC and diamond drill intercepts include MRRB0076-RAB: *44m@1.48g/t, including 12m@ 4.11g/t, *MRRB009-RAB:* 8m @ 8.20g/t, *MRRB1611-RAB:* 8m @ 4.68g/t, *MRRB0062- RAB*: 12m@4.99g/t, *NAC037-aircore:- *18m@2.5g/t, *NAC027-aircore:* 18m @ 2.51g/t, *MRRC0081-RC: *16m @ 1.95g/t, and 13m @ 2.19g/t, *MRRC0091-RC: *10m @ 3.47g/t, *MRRC0047-RC:* 13m@2.33g/t, *MRDD001-diamond:* 3m @ 11.5g/t including 1m @ 23.2g/t *and MRDD003-diamond:* 2m @ 16.8g/t including 1m @ 31.9g/t. *These mineralised intercepts and all others reported in this press release including those shown in figures are reported as down hole intervals *not* *true widths,* which are yet to be determined.

Summary commercial terms involve aggregate cash payments to MDI of USD$335,000 and issuance of 5 million Tajiri shares over a period of 21 months. The agreement also includes a 2% net smelter return royalty in favour of MDI, which may be purchased by Tajiri for USD$5 million.

Tajiri considers the exploration upside at the project to be of the highest order, with immediate well-defined drill targets at the K4- K5 Prospect to be followed on from past drilling, combined with a large regional land package that hosts the smaller drilled Morley Prospect and several remaining auger geochemical targets yet to be tested by drilling.

Information contained in this press release relies on information provided by Middle Island, other public and unpublished documents which include technical reports from previous explorers and Middle Island. including all figures which were prepared by Middle Island. Tajiri has used reasonable efforts to review the technical information but until it conducts further due diligence, as envisaged by the Heads of Agreement, including site visits and independent data verification it relies on information supplied by Middle Island.  However, it is Tajiri's opinion that historical exploration and assay procedures were executed to a high standard consistent with industry best practices in effect at the time and that these practices conform to acceptable standards for further use, albeit subject to inherent risks.

*Details of the Agreement*

The reader is referred to the release made by Middle Island on 11/2/2018 which is attached to this news release.

The terms of the agreement are as follows:

1. Pay MDI USD$35,000 to secure a 3 month period of due diligence.
2. Pay MDI USD$150,000 and issue 2.5 Million shares at any time during the due diligence period to enter into the option representing 4.139 % of the listed shares of Tajiri on a fully diluted basis.
3. Pay to MDI USD$50,000 within 12 months of entering into the option, if the option has not been exercised.
4. Pay MDI USD$100,000 and issue MDI 2.5 Million* shares of Tajiri within 18 months if the payment made under 2) above to exercise the option and acquire 100% of the Project.
5. Maintain the REO project licences in good standing during the Option Period and meet mandated exploration expenditures.
6. MDI will retain a 2% NSR on any future production and Tajiri may acquire the NSR at any time after the exercise of the option for USD$5 million.

*The stipulated number of shares to be issued to Middle Island in each Tranche are calculated on a fully diluted basis, based on Tajiri’s current capital structure. The number of shares to be issued to Middle Island at the time a tranche is issued shall be fixed at, and adjusted accordingly to, 4.139% of the fully diluted equity of Tajiri. All shares issued to MDI will be subject to any mandatory minimum TSX-V restriction periods. 

*Reo Project highlights:*

· Large regional 1,002km^2 gold project of 6 contiguous tenements located astride 50km strike of highly prospective West African greenstone belt geology (Figure 1). Two tenements are granted and four are subject to extension applications. Importantly the tenement overlying the K4-K5 prospect is in good standing and the second granted tenement, Nebya in the south west of the project is granted but has not yet been transferred to MDI from the original vendor.
 
· Project located 150km west-northwest of the capital of Burkina Faso, Ouagadougou, has good infrastructure - bitumen road from the capital, process water (15km from the Black Volta), grid power to the centre of the project and a rail line at Koudougou (35km).
 
· Burkina Faso is favourable to mining with a sound Mining Act in West Africa and a competitive fiscal regime. The 2016 Fraser Institute Annual Survey of Mining Companies ranks Burkina Faso as third most attractive mining jurisdiction in West Africa in both its Policy Perception Index survey and Investment Attractiveness Index and fourth in all of Africa
 
· USD$8 million prudently expended since mid-2000s by both Newmont Mining's subsidiary Newmont Ventures and Middle Island, with past work including 70,666m of geochemical auger drilling in 9,543 holes, 67,148m of RAB drilling in 1,918 holes, 22,150m of aircore drilling in 439 holes, 12,791m of RC drilling in 146 holes and 1,649m of diamond drilling in 11 holes. In addition, a high resolution 100m line spaced airborne magnetic and radiometric survey covers the entire Project along with 128km^2 coverage by ground magnetic surveys 8km^2 of IP/Resistivity surveys.
 
· The Project hosts numerous untested auger geochemical targets and the smaller, drilled Morley Prospect (see Figure 2).
 
· The Project hosts the substantial and advanced K4-K5 prospect where a gold in auger anomaly with a strike of 4.5km and width of 3km has returned robust grade drill intersections from multiple targets (further detailed below).
 
· Excellent local community relations have been established by MDI. Since it began work at Reo MDI has sponsored a water supply project that now supplies potable water to some 1,000 residents and a market gardening project.

*Geological Summary*

The geology of the Project is dominantly covered by transposed to transported ferruginous laterites, interspersed with minor outcrops of granite and granitic gneiss. Outcrop over the volcanic and meta-sedimentary units is extremely limited. Thus, regional geological information on the Project largely relies on interpretation of a high resolution (100m line spacing) aeromagnetic and radiometric survey conducted by Middle Island in 2011.

The project area is interpreted to comprise volcanic, sedimentary and felsic intrusive rocks of the Boromo and Houndé greenstone belts that come close to intersecting, and are in thrust contact with the major central Burkina granitoid massif to the east.

Known gold mineralisation styles are largely hosted within greenstone belts and at granitoid contacts, and are of orogenic style (quartz vein and shear zone related).

*Regional Exploration*

In addition to several phases of stream sediment, lag and soil geochemistry, the Project was subject to extensive auger drilling by MDI between 2011-2012. This work was completed on grids ranging from 1,600 x 200m, down to a 400 x 100m pattern, which defined four main prospects- K4-K5, Morley (formerly Didyr), Dassa and East Prospect. Of these, the most significant prospects are K4-K5 and Morley, which were both identified and subject to scout drilling by Newmont.

Follow-up RAB/Aircore drilling on mostly 400m spaced lines (25m -100m spaced holes) at the other auger geochemical targets (Dassa and East targets) produced limited intersections above 1g/t Au. A series of Auger geochemical anomalies stretching SW from the Dassa target have not yet been tested by any form of drilling (see Figure 3).  

*The Morley Prospect *

The Morley prospect was a blind discovery by Newmont identified via drainage sampling and subsequent lag and soil geochemistry. This was followed with an initial 120 hole aircore drilling program, producing an exceptional intercept of *34m at 16.48g/t Au *from 3m depth (KRAC011) and follow up drilling (83 holes) produced *39m @ 2.62g/t Au *from 5m (KRAC 128), drilled in alternate directions toward the NW and SE. Better intercepts were derived from holes oriented toward 345 degrees. ^2

Newmont then drilled six diamond core holes behind significant aircore intercepts (-55⁰ to -65⁰ towards 345⁰). These holes were generally disappointing and did not intercept targeted mineralisation. Subsequently Newmont completed trenching, RAB (66 holes) and a final RC program (37 holes). Selected significant intercepts from RC included *38m @ 2.33g/t Au *from 3m depth (KRC020), *10m @ 7.55g/t Au *from 16m (KRC022) and *10m @ 2.32g/t Au *from 78m (KRC029bis) (reported as down hole intercepts not true widths).^3

*Figure 3:*

http://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/AttachmentNg/e53ba036-708f-4ed6-a1d4-3064ec1d1c72

MDI completed 12 trenches for 550 metres and 58 RC holes for 4,931m at the Morley Prospect. All holes were drilled at -60⁰ toward grid 180⁰. Mineralisation intercepted in Newmont drilling was interpreted to dip at approximately 50⁰ to the north, with a shallow plunge to the east. MDI drilling was planned to test down dip and along strike extents of known mineralisation. Drilling intercepted numerous robust intercepts (Table 1), notably *2m at 18g/t Au including 1m at 32.5g/t Au *(MRRC001), *10m at 9.63g/t Au including 1m at 43g/t Au *(MRRC0005), *6m at 2.47g/t Au *(MRRC0006), *5m at 4.72g/t Au including 1m at 10.1g/t Au *(MRRC0016) and *1m at 75.5g/t Au *(MRRC0040)^4

Host rocks at the Morley Prospect are granodiorite with rafts of mafic rocks. MDI RC Drilling confirmed the interpretation of stacked, east-west trending and moderately north dipping lodes, and delineated two lodes at Morley approximately 100 metres apart.

Exploration at the Morley Prospect has traced the mineralised structure over 1,000m in an east-west direction. However, it appears that mineralisation at the peripheries is relatively thin and low grade and that thicker higher grade zones are confined to a 200-300m zone straddling the granodiorite contact. Exploration results for the central part of the of the Morley Prospect are shown in Figure 4 below.

It is recognised that Morley represents a smaller, albeit high grade, potential satellite deposit to a more a substantial resource if identified elsewhere on the property, and that further work will be readily justified if this proves the case.

*The K4-K5 Prospect*

The K4-5 Prospect, located in the southeast of the tenement package, is the most significant Prospect located at the Reo project. Although no geology is exposed, as the area is veneered by transported laterite, an extensive auger geochemical anomaly of 4.5km strike and 3.5km width has been defined, with numerous values exceeding 100ppb and a peak value of 1,577ppb. 

A large artisanal mining pit (c.500m x 250m) exists in the central part of the prospect, where up to 5,000 miners have worked palaeo-alluvial material at the ‘interface’ between laterite and saprolite.

The K4-K5 Prospect was initially defined by soil sampling by Newmont and later Auger geochemical sampling by Middle Island, and since has been variously assessed by rotary air blast (RAB), aircore, reverse circulation (RC) and limited diamond core drilling.

The geology comprises a package of meta-sediments and felsic volcanics irregularly on-lapping a shallowly south-plunging granodiorite. Mineralisation is interpreted to be associated with the Madi Shear and hosted in all lithologies, but is structurally controlled, with quartz veining and strong shearing developed around the brittle ductile contacts between the granodiorite and volcano-sedimentary rocks. Alteration observed is outwardly zoned, variously dominated by silica/pyrite, sericite and chlorite assemblages, with more distal carbonate alteration.

*K4-K5 Exploration Summary *

After conducting both lag and soil geochemical sampling, Newmont completed ground geophysics at the prospect and drilled several aircore fences on a 400m line spacing and a 50m to 100m hole spacing, completing 193 holes for 10,319m. The best intercept for the program was NAC027 at the K5 Prospect, which returned *18m at 2.5g/t Au*, however numerous other broad lower grade intercepts were returned.^6

After defining the K4-K5 anomaly by auger geochemistry, Middle Island conducted several phases of RAB, RC and diamond drilling, completing 825 holes for 34,953m of RAB drilling, 26 holes for 2,627m of RC drilling and 5 diamond drill holes for 724m.

Shallow RAB drilling (sampled as 4m composites), performed predominantly on 400m spaced lines to better investigate anomalous auger geochemistry, succeeded in defining a broad, 2.5km long, open ended zone of continuous gold mineralisation lying along the southeast margin of the K4/K5 geochemical anomaly, coincident with the Madi Shear.

Better 4m RAB composite sample intercepts included *13m at 2.47g/t Au. 44m at 1.48g/t *(including *12m at 4.11g/t*)*, 16m at 1.95g/t, 13m at 2.19g/t and 10m at 3.47g/t Au*., *12m at 4.99g/t *(including *4m at 14.0g/t*) and *8m at 8.20g/t *(including *4m at 16.2g/t Au*). *36m at 1.25g/t, 16m at 2.66g/t (incl. 12m at 3.23g/t), 20m at 1.65g/t (incl. 8m at 3.17), 8m at 4.68g/t (incl. 4m at 8.21g/t), 8m at 1.70g/t, 4m at 3.54g/t, 4m at 2.25g/t, 6m at 1.24g/t, 18m at 2.51g/t, 44m at 1.48g/t (incl. 12m at 4.11g/t), 12m at 4.99g/t (incl. 4m at 14.0g/t) and 8m at 8.20g/t (incl. 4m at 16.2g/t), 8m at 2.25g/t, 20m at 1.73g/t, 4m at 8.54g/t, 18m at 1.59g/t and 4m at 12.2g/t Au* (see Table 2).^7

RAB drilling was followed up by a 5-hole program of diamond drilling with holes designed to assess the geological and structural framework, alteration and host rock lithologies. As such holes were planned at four distinct mineralised areas across the prospect. Significant results were *2m at 16.8g/t Au from 160m depth including 1m@31.9g/t and 3m@11.5g/t from 48m depth including 1m@23.2g/t *(see Table 4).^8

RC drilling was largely completed after the completion of RAB and Diamond drilling and RC drilling was planned to in to confirm RAB intercepts and test down dip extensions. Significant intercepts include; *13m at 2.47g/t Au., 16m at 1.95g/t, 13m at 2.19g/t and 10m at 3.47g/t Au*. (See Table 3).^9

Drill results and geology are summarised visually in Figure 5.

Based on the presence of strong silica-pyrite alteration encountered in drilling, an IP survey was conducted comprising 58 line kilometres of gradient array and 4km of pole-dipole IP. The survey defined the major structural controls along the Madi Shear and identified a new parallel trend to the southeast, which remains untested by drilling.

Middle Island also conducted initial bottle roll cyanidation metallurgical test work on 17 individual samples derived from diamond core which strongly suggests that mineralisation tested to date is amenable to conventional CIP/CIL extraction. The metallurgical samples tested various oxidation states, rock types, gold grades and alteration styles. Samples were prepared at a nominal grind-size of 80% passing 75 microns and subjected to 72 hour bottle roll tests, with cyanide solution readings taken at 12, 24, 36, 48 and 72 hour intervals. Final solution readings (72 hours) against calculated head grades generated average indicative recoveries of *93%, 97% and 95% *from oxide, transitional and primary mineralisation types respectively.

*K4-K5 Exploration Potential *

Tajiri believes that the K4-K5 prospect presents excellent exploration potential evidenced by the combination of processed IP results with historic drilling as presented in *Figure 6*. This shows that the inference pattern between resistivity and chargeability, believed to be consistent with zones of silica-pyrite alteration, is often associated with the better drill intersections and that these zones to date have only been tested by wide spaced drilling. 

Evident, upon a close inspection of *Figure 6, *is that the majority of significant drill intersections are spatially associated with the resistive-chargeable zones. Further that drill line spacing has resulted in seven resistive-chargeable zones of between 400-700m being tested by only one or two lines of drilling and where those zones have been tested, significant drill intercepts have mostly been returned. There is therefore a large strike of each resistive-chargeable zone as yet untested by drilling. Furthermore, the largest resistive-chargeable zones, located to the south of drilling and east of UTM 533,500 remain completely untested by drilling.

It is Tajiri's opinion that the K4-K5 project offers substantial potential to move quickly from drill testing both the along strike potential of historic drill intersections, guided by IP, and drill testing the undrilled largest resistive-chargeable zones into a resource definition drill program.

*Of Particular Significance: *
1)  The largest resistive-chargeable zones of the Prospect in the south and east of 533,500 are untested by drilling.
2) The majority of significant drill intersections are associated with resistive-chargeable zones.
3) Most of the drilled resistive-chargeable zones that have returned significant intersections are untested by drilling for 200-400m of strike.

Tajiri President Mr. Graham Keevil stated:

"Tajiri looks forward to beginning Project due diligence as early as possible and conducting in country reviews in early March. We look forward to working closely with Middle Island during the due diligence period in order to complete the transaction and subsequently continue building on the excellent work that Middle Island have completed to date."

"The board of Tajiri believes that the Reo Project offers compelling upside, at an attractive entry price, and gives shareholders exposure to an advanced gold project, located in an excellent mining jurisdiction that with minimal work can become subject of a resource definition drilling program. The agreement also further validates the Company’s growing portfolio of Guyana based Gold Projects and the potential value they represent."

ASX Release – 13 February 2018

Heads of Agreement executed for option over Reo gold project in Burkina Faso, West Africa

▪ Middle Island today executed a Heads of Agreement with Tajiri Resources Corp. (TSX-V:TAJ, “Tajiri”) for Tajiri to be granted an option to acquire a 100% interest in the Reo gold project in Burkina Faso, West Africa.

▪ Summary commercial terms involve aggregate cash payments to Middle Island of US$335,000 and the issue of 5 million shares, representing 8% of Tajiri’s then post-issue expanded capital, plus a 2% net smelter return (NSR) royalty, which can be purchased by Tajiri for US$5 million.

▪ Via the equity and royalty components, the transaction structure allows Middle Island to retain a significant indirect interest in the upside potential of the Reo project. The equity component also offers considerable exposure to Tajiri’s significant gold project interests in Guyana, South America.

▪ On completion, the Reo project transaction would represent the divestment of Middle Island’s remaining gold interests in West Africa, allowing the Company to fully focus on its advanced Sandstone gold project development in Western Australia.

▪ The Company looks forward to working closely with Tajiri to finalise the transaction.

REO GOLD PROJECT (West Africa)

Heads of Agreement for an Option to Purchase

Middle Island Resources Limited (“Middle Island”, “MDI” or “the Company”) is pleased to advise that it has executed a Heads of Agreement (“HoA”) relating to divesting its 100% interest in the Reo gold project in West Africa to Tajiri Resources Corp. (TSX-V:TAJ, “Tajiri”) via an Option to Purchase Agreement.

Transaction Terms

Tajiri will pay MDI US$35,000 on execution of the HoA in return for a three-month exclusivity period in which to complete its due diligence.

On satisfactory completion of due diligence and signing of a formal Option to Purchase Agreement, the essential terms of which are set out in the HOA, Tajiri is required to pay a further US$150,000 and issue to Middle Island 2.5 million Tajiri shares. By that agreement, Middle Island will grant Tajiri an exclusive option to purchase MDI’s entire interest in the Reo project (the “Option”). The term of the Option is 18 months. During the Option term Tajiri must pay all expenses associated with maintaining the Reo Project permits in accordance with Burkinabe law.

Should Tajiri elect to exercise the Option, it will pay a further US$150,000 and issue Middle Island with a further 2.5 million Tajiri shares.

If Tajiri has not exercised the Option within 12 months, it will be required to pay US$50,000 to Middle Island as a non-refundable advance on the Option exercise cash consideration, with the balance of US$100,000 payable if the Option is exercised during the remaining six months of the Option term. If the Option is exercised within the first 12 months the full US$150,000 is payable on exercise.

The stipulated number of shares the subject of the two tranches to be issued to Middle Island were calculated on a fully diluted basis based on Tajiri’s current capital structure, with additional shares to be issued to Middle Island at no cost if Tajiri issues further shares or options prior to exercising the Option. All shares issued to MDI will be subject to any mandatory minimum TSX-V restriction periods.

If the Option is exercised by Tajiri, Middle Island will retain a 2% net smelter return (NSR) royalty on any minerals derived from the Reo project. Tajiri will have the right to acquire that royalty from Middle Island for US$5 million.

If the Option is not exercised by Tajiri, Middle Island will retain all consideration already paid to Middle Island and it will continue to own its 100% interest in the Reo Project.

Middle Island Managing Director, Mr Rick Yeates:

“The transaction structure allows Middle Island shareholders to retain a significant indirect interest in the upside potential of the Reo project via the Tajiri equity and royalty components. The full equity component, which will represent some 8% of Tajiri’s issued capital on a fully diluted, post issue basis, also offers shareholders considerable exposure to Tajiri’s highly prospective gold project interests in Guyana, South America.

“On completion, the Reo project transaction will represent the divestment of Middle Island’s remaining gold interests in West Africa, allowing the Company to fully focus on its advanced Sandstone gold project development in Western Australia.”

“Middle Island looks forward to working closely with Tajiri to facilitate remaining aspects of the due diligence and documentation, in order to complete the transaction and progress the Reo project towards feasibility.

“Middle Island will keep shareholders updated on progress with the Reo project transaction during 2018.”

HLCC’s revolutionary growth factors are developed with Nobel Prize-winning technology, and comprised of five 99.9% pure natural proteins that deliver proven and unprecedented improvements to balding, thinning, and aging hair and skin. Noticeable results have been reported in as little as two to six weeks, compared to several months with traditional formulas.

LATHAM, N.Y. (PRWEB) February 15, 2018

HLCC®, the global pioneer and leader in developing high-end anti-aging hair care products, has launched groundbreaking new growth factors for skin and hair — and ushered in a new era of hope for men and woman who want to fight back against the visible effects of aging.

HLCC’s revolutionary growth factors are developed with Nobel Prize-winning technology, and comprised of five 99.9% pure natural proteins that deliver proven and unprecedented improvements to balding, thinning, and aging hair and skin. Noticeable results have been reported in as little as two to six weeks, compared to several months with traditional formulas.

HLCC’s growth factors have been used safely and effectively for more than seven years in Australia, and over 500,000 individual use cases have been recorded internationally. All products all exclusively offered by HLCC, and not available from any other sources. The product line-up, which is now available for the first time ever in the U.S., Canada, and most other countries around the world, includes:· Factor G6 - Professional Growth Factor Serum for Hair, which provides with 30,000ng/ml of growth factor proteins, and contains six specific types of growth factor proteins that are specifically bio-engineered to support the appearance of fuller, thicker, healthier looking hair.
· Factor G6 - Daily Hair Tonic, which provides 24,000ng/ml of growth factors with each application. Like the Professional Growth Factor Serum for Hair, it contains six specific types of growth factor proteins that are specifically bio engineered to support the appearance of fuller, thicker, healthier looking hair.
· da Vinci 21 - Professional Growth Factors for Skin, which provides with 24,000ng/ml of growth factor proteins, and is a powerful cosmetic “non-drug” alternative for more beautiful looking skin. Clients have reported smoother looking skin after just a few applications, with the appearance of fewer, smaller looking lines and wrinkles.
· da Vinci 10 - Daily Growth Factors for Skin, which provides with 10,000ng/ml of growth factor proteins, and contains five types of growth factor proteins that are specifically bio-engineered with liposomal technology for at-home use to fight against anti-aging and help with skin rejuvenation.

“My daughter has battled Alopecia Areata for many years, and after a large attack she lost a large portion of her hair,” commented Trichologist Patti Wood. “She used HLCC’s new growth factors, and experienced significant hair growth in just five weeks! To put this in proper perspective, other products that she’s tried in the past have taken five months to generate any noticeable results.”

“The results I've seen with growth factors have been amazing,” commented noted Dermatologist and Educator Dr. Ayyaz Shah. “To date, I've seen no other products that could give such significant results for hair and skin in such a short period of time."

“This incredible technology provides dramatic improvement for individuals suffering from thinning, balding, and aging hair and skin in potentially as little as two weeks,” commented William C. Blatter, President of HLCC and Chairman of the US Trichology Institute. “Leading edge specialists, estheticians, trichologists, and healthcare professionals are turning to these growth factors to amaze their clients, and profoundly improve their lives.”

Growth factors are protein molecules that are naturally produced by the body, and which stimulate cellular growth and function. They also regulate cell division and cell survival and bind to receptors on the cells' surface that activate cellular proliferation. These rejuvenating properties support a natural and safe process that aids in the improvement and appearance of thinning, balding, aging hair and skin.

There are different growth factors needed that are naturally produced by the body. Since they are required for healthy hair, they need a physiologically and balanced combination of these proteins and antioxidants. The growth factors offered by HLCC have been scientifically formulated with the necessary proteins and antioxidants that aid in the maintenance needed for a healthy hair follicle structure. More growth factors present in the hair follicle gives the appearance of more vibrant, fuller, thicker and youthful looking hair.

PRP has become very popular for hair and skin rejuvenation, similar to the method that Kim Kardashian promotes in her use of the Vampire facial®. A National Institute of Health study showed PRP can have up to 338% of the normal concentration of epidermal growth factor that would equal 429.26 ng/ml EGF growth factors. Healthcare professionals performing and offering the services of PRP can significantly reap the benefits of offering this post procedure solution in the use of these highly concentrated growth factors. In addition, the growth factors can significantly offer, enhance and fortify the body’s natural ability to stimulate collagen, for optimal repair and regeneration.

[India], Feb 16 (ANI): Australia pulled off a world-record run chase in the fifth T20I of the tri-series in Auckland as they defeated New Zealand by five wickets to reduce Martin Guptill's ton to a Reported by Sify 5 hours ago.

Out of the eight couples who have starred on The Bachelor and The Bachelorette Australia in the last five years, just half of them are still an item, but the show's affable host Osher Gunsberg says that there's more to it than love. Reported by Sydney Morning Herald 5 hours ago.

Martin Guptill set social media ablaze on Friday with his second T20I century. The New Zealand opener pummelled the Australian attack at the Eden Park in Auckland.

Although his team went on to lose the match, Guptill earned plaudits for his devastating knock. The right-hander smashed nine sixes and six fours in his 54-ball 105.

 

While the 31-year-old earner his share of praise on Twitter on Friday, Bollywood actress Preity Zinta ended up at the other end of the stick.

Fans mocked Zinta, who is part owner of Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Kings XI Punjab, for failing to retain Guptill in the recent IPL 2018 Auction. The Kiwi dasher represented KXIP in the IPL last year, but went unsold this time around.

@realpreityzinta why don't you pick Martin Guptill in the drafts he's just in red hot form and the leading run scorer in T20i @lionsdenkxip @virendersehwag

— Abdullah Khan (@iamabdullah11) February 16, 2018



Australia pulled off a world-record run chase in the fifth T20I of the tri-series in Auckland as they defeated New Zealand by five wickets to reduce Martin Guptill's ton to a footnote. The stands at Eden Park witnessed 32 sixes - equalling the T20I record - as the ground became a batting paradise.

Chasing 243 runs put by New Zealand, the hosts touched the target with the help of aggressive half-centuries from D'Arcy Short and David Warner, with seven balls to spare. After a strong start, the middle-order batsmen comfortably finished down the chase for Australia. Chris Lynn hit 18 while Glenn Maxwell and Aaron Finch struck 31 and 36 respectively.

 

For New Zealand, Guptill hit a quick fire of 105 runs off 49 balls to post their joint-highest total in T20 cricket. With this knock, the opener broke Brendon McCullum's record of the fastest ever century by a Kiwi batsman.

Australia's win on Friday means England can qualify for the final by beating New Zealand in the last league game of the tri-series which also includes England.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Feb. 16, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Blippar, the leading augmented reality and computer vision technology company, today announced the launch of its new fine-grained landmark recognition API, which uses deep learning to recognize thousands of famous landmarks worldwide (including buildings, bridges, castles, places of worship and more).Blippar’s Landmark Recognition includes iconic landmarks, such as the Golden Gate Bridge, the Eiffel Tower, the Taj Mahal and Statue of Liberty, as well as many regional ones, such as the Eureka Tower in Melbourne (Australia) and the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto (Canada). It only uses computer vision and does not use location information from GPS. This gives the technology the ability to not only recognize a famous landmark a person that’s physically near a person, but also from a photo, on a magazine cover, and the like, even if the landmark is geographically far.

Landmark Recognition is also available within the Blippar App, where recognition doesn’t need a static image, but happens dynamically as users scan the environment around them. Once the app recognizes a landmark, it provides additional information on it both from external sources such as Wikipedia and Blippar’s comprehensive knowledge graph, Blipparsphere.

Blippar’s Landmark Recognition technology is both extremely fast and accurate. It uses Blippar's patent-pending technology for training deep learning models to essentially eliminate false positives, which can be a major nuisance in this context since many common buildings and bridges share similarities with famous landmarks, with no decrease in accuracy. Currently, the app has a false positive rate of 0.36%^1 and accuracy of 91.6% in open set testing, both of which are unparalleled across the industry. The technology currently supports 2164 landmarks and the number keeps growing.

Recognition in the Blippar App is very detailed, as shown in the below example where it can distinguish between similar castles and bridges (top), or recognise the most prominent landmark depending on where exactly the phone is pointing (bottom).

“Landmark Recognition is Blippar’s latest step in our ongoing mission to map the physical world,” says Ambarish Mitra, Blippar CEO and Co-Founder. “On the heels of the AR City app, an industry breakthrough in machine learning entire cities with the potential to disrupt current maps in the navigation and tourism sectors, as well as Urban Visual Positioning, a disruption in location-based AR that leverages computer vision for better localisation accuracy than GPS alone, Blippar is continuing to change the way people interact with and experience their surroundings. This is a great way to satisfy our curiosity and discover more about the world around us. ”

The availability of the Landmark Recognition API is also a part of Blippar’s continued efforts to democratize access to AR within various verticals by opening up their APIs to the industry at large for companies and brands to utilize their technology.

*About Blippar *
Blippar is a leading technology company that specialises in Augmented Reality and Computer Vision, a cutting-edge field within Artificial Intelligence (AI) that trains lenses to recognise and understand the world they see. By harnessing the power of its technology and data, Blippar's mission is to be the bridge that brings the digital and physical worlds together, enhancing everyday life.

Since launching in the UK in 2011, Blippar's technology has been used by world-leading brands such as PepsiCo, Porsche, Nestlé, L'Oréal, GSK, General Mills and Procter & Gamble to create exciting and award-winning experiences which deepen consumer engagement.With a focus on its two core technologies, augmented reality and computer vision, Blippar has created a range of products that can be harnessed across a wide range of sectors. Blippar has been named on the CNBC Disruptor 50 list for three years running, most recently earlier this year. To learn more, visit https://blippar.com and download the app which showcases the technology on get.blippar.com (Available on iOS and Android).

^1 False positive rate is measured on 3000 held-out images of buildings and bridges specifically designed to fool a landmark classifier. On standard traffic data false positive rate is less than 0.01%
