Why Bondholder's View Hilton's CEO as a Grinch

S tephen Bollenbach may be adored in the stock world, but in the land of bonds, he's quite the Grinch.

When Bollenbach served as chief financial officer at Marriott in 1992, the company was divided into two units, one in hotel services; the other in real estate. The deal "unlocked" value for shareholders, but it sent the company's bond ratings plunging to junk status and prompted a bondholder lawsuit.

Then Bollenbach joined Disney , where he helped engineer the $19 billion acquisition of Capital Cities/ABC in 1995. Since then, Disney's stock has risen from 58 to 107. But to fund the deal, Disney took on $10 billion of debt. During Bollenbach's tenure, Standard & Poor's lowered Disney's ratings from double-A-minus to single-A.

Now, Bollenbach is Hilton 's CEO. Since he joined, S&P has lowered Hilton's rating from single-A to triple-B, owing, in part, to the acquisition of Bally's Grand. And then, last year, Hilton opened itself up to further downgrades as it tried to acquire ITT Corp. In fact, when Hilton sold almost $800 billion of debt last year, bond investors demanded and received what they thought was "insurance" against further downgrades.

As part of the bond offerings, Hilton agreed to increase the coupon on the debt if its ratings were lowered because of an acquisition of $1 billion or more. The bigger the downgrade, the larger the increase in the coupon. At last, bondholders felt they were protected.

Now they realize they were wrong.

Hilton's acquisition of ITT was thwarted by a higher bidder, Starwood Hotels & Resorts Trust . And Hilton's subsequent acquisition discussions with Circus Circus Enterprises also ground to a halt earlier this month as the two reportedly couldn't agree on such pesky details as valuations or management structure. Hilton had hoped to separate its gaming and hotel operations into two companies and then merge Circus Circus into its gaming group.

Now it appears that Hilton is still considering splitting in two, even if an acquisition isn't involved. And that could mean trouble for bondholders because the "insurance," or coupon increase on the bonds, kicks in only if the rating downgrade occurs because of an acquisition. If the downgrade occurs because of a reorganization or a split-up, bondholders are out of luck.

Essentially, bondholders have found they bought insurance for the wrong thing. It's as if they bought flood insurance and they're watching their houses burn down.

Hilton's 7.2% debt due in 2009 was sold at 99.8 in December and now it trades at 96.75, a loss of almost $30 for a $1,000 bond.

A Hilton spokesman declined to comment on the company's debt. But he said splitting the company "was still a possibility." And he added that Bollenbach had "waived provisions" in his employment contract that allow Bollenbach's stock options to vest ahead of schedule if a split occurred by June 30.

It's possible that the company remains whole or does a large enough acquisition to trigger the coupon increase on the bonds. In that case, the bonds could trade up. But if the split-up occurs with no acquisition, the bonds could trade down further if the ratings fall, one trader explained. "I would never touch these bonds," declares Carol Levenson, who publishes Gimme Credit, a bond newsletter. "We've been encouraging bond investors to avoid this name since dinosaurs walked the earth."

And Zane Brown, director of fixed income at Lord Abbett & Co., says his firm bought Hilton's convertible bonds instead of its traditional bonds to participate in the equity upside of a potential split. "Hilton is in the same industry, ripe for the same type of maneuvering [as occurred at Marriott]. It made a lot more sense to be in an equity position than in the debt position," he observes.

W e know the government's auctions of airwave spectrum raised the disappointing sum of $578.6 million, but it's tough to figure out just how the winning bidders will affect the rapidly changing telecom world.

The spectrum sold last week is for something called local multipoint distribution service, or LMDS. With it, a company could get its phone, TV and Internet access by using radio signals sent through the air instead of depending on cables and wires owned by telephone or cable television companies.

In many ways, the technology is similar to that of a cellular phone system. But with LMDS, the sender and receiver must be stationary and the signal has the capacity to carry large chunks of information, such as data files. In contrast, a cellular phone is portable but can only carry voice or short data messages. Since the two have such different applications, companies using LMDS waves and those providing cellular phone service aren't expected to compete for the same users.

"You don't substitute one for the other. It's like having a boat and a car," one analyst explains.

However, in an earlier auction, a number of companies had bought spectrum that's similar to the one used for LMDS. The two types of spectrum have some differences, but they can transmit essentially the same amount of information, just as quickly and in a similar fashion. Companies such as WinStar Communications , Teligent , Advanced Radio Telecom all bought spectrum in the earlier sale and have sold junk bonds to finance the startup of their systems.

At first, some feared that the low price fetched in last week's auction would hurt these companies. But it appears that the market is much more focused on how well management is executing its business plans, for the cost of spectrum is just a sliver of the total tab for getting one of these systems running.

So, who will come out ahead in this new type of communication?

"He who gets the spectrum and starts to deploy it first has the advantage," quips Robert Waldman, head of corporate bond research at Salomon Smith Barney. He has "buy" recommendations on WinStar and Teligent bonds.

Right now, WinStar is farthest along in its development, with Teligent one to two years behind, and the LMDS winners at least two years back in the race to provide meaningful service, estimates David Wells. Wells, the high-yield analyst at Societe Generale Securities, has a "hold" recommendation on WinStar paper, because of the recent rise in its price, and does not rate Teligent.

Although the spectrum might not have fetched as much as expected, the good news from the auction was that only one party, WNP Communications, emerged as potential competition. WNP bought a huge amount of spectrum that covers 114 million people. But that's still smaller than WinStar's coverage of 185 million or Teligent's 130 million.

"It's clear that only one significant new player, WNP, came out of the auction. No one compiled a national footprint as large as WinStar or Teligent," notes Leslie DeBauge, a high-yield telecom analyst at CIBC Oppenheimer. It's one of the reasons she's put out a "buy" recommendation on both WinStar and Teligent bonds.

The purpose and benefits of organising data so that it can be analysed as you will be turning this data into information. Data is commonly known as information which is lacking meaning, therefore it cannot be analysed easily, however information is much more meaningful. We can filter the data and use it as needed which saves time scrolling through lots of unnecessary data. The benefits of organising data are that is can be easier to read and to understand. It also makes it quicker to find the information you need from it.

1.6 Describe how to search for relevant data sources

There are many ways of searching for relevant data sources such as the internet, books, previous reports and speaking to the team. However, you must take in to account how long it will take to research these different sources, whether they are available and how accurate and unbiased they are.

Understand how to report data that has been researched

2.1 Describe ways of reporting data so that it:

a) The ways of reporting data, so that it meets agreed aims and objectives are:

Always make sure that the data you collect serves the purpose of the report you are going to prepare
It is best not to name or label people in the report

Serving the San Francisco Bay Area New Music Community

Artist Jason Hoopes
Title Year of the Snake
Label New Edge -

YEAR OF THE SNAKE is a work conceived by three bay area artists: composer Jason Hoopes, choreographer Peiling Kao, and writer/visual artist Karl Jensen.

Year Of The Snake is a metaphor for “cycles of self-transformation”. In an age of hyper-competition and dependent convenience, we lose sight of the personal process and power of self-transformation, and what it takes to enter the process. What it takes to enter the process has much to do with Empathy.

Empathy is a practice. We have to do it for it to be. This requires vulnerability, which requires strength, through courage. These things are in turn built upon positive learning experiences, even as we accept that learning includes an element of trauma; transformation is traumatic.

Self-transformation concerns the application of the Will upon processes which are already in motion, and always have been. We die. Birth, death - same door. Knowing this, what do we see? Knowing this, what do we want? And what are we doing about it? We have a chance to participate in the shaping, the form, of our own transformation. But it is something we each experience alone or not at all. Such solitude is traumatic. Empathy is the Will acting to harness the inward power of Solitude and send it outward, opening toward, defining space, leaving useful room, useful because empty. Sometimes we practice Empathy in front of a mirror; be gentle with yourself as you shed skin.

As personal perspective changes, the traumatic shedding of old skin, and the acceptance of new forms of understanding, provide useful lessons for compassionately ushering in needed societal progress. You never have a finite number of chances to become, and your becoming helps others do the same. You're not invited. You're inside. It is not as important to get the message as it is to send it. You are invited. This is the spirit of this work.

Thank you for listening.

Grandmother's hunger strike for Guantanamo Bay's Shaker Aamer

A grandmother from Dorset has been on hunger strike in solidarity with Shaker Aamer - the last British man still being held in Guantanamo Bay.

Human rights lawyer Margaret Owen, 81, from Pentridge near Cranborne, kept a blog of her hunger strike.

Mr Aamer, from London, has been detained in the military prison for 11 years without being charged or tried.

The Foreign Office says the case "remains a high priority for the UK Government".

Triple Whammy – Upcoming changes to AASB 9, 15 & 16

10 January 2017

Wayne Basford , Asia Pacific Leader, IFRS
Partner, Audit & Assurance

Directors and management may be forgiven for thinking that accounting is a very staid and stable issue, however all Australian companies need to be aware of the " triple whammy " that is about to hit Australian financial reporting. This “triple whammy” involves the update of three accounting standards (AASB 9, 15 and 16) which will fundamentally change the accounting for financial instruments, revenue, and leases.

These three updates are the most significant changes to accounting in recent history and represents a significant challenge to Australian companies.

The Importance of Adequate Planning and Resourcing:

These new standards, will change the pattern of revenue recognition, will bring most leases onto the balance sheet and will improve an entity's EBITDA. This in turn will require significant changes to both processes and systems.

Think of it as the “Y2K” of accounting, and like Y2K, if it is planned for properly and adequate resources are allocated to the project, transition to the new rules will pass smoothly. On the other hand, a lack of planning could well see companies receiving qualified audit opinions, delays in lodging financial statements, loss of investor confidence, a fall in share price and potentially a number of CFO's seeking alternate employment!

This could also see disputes as to whether bonuses based on revenue or EBITDA targets have been met, disputes on any earn out payments based on EBITDA and the breach of banking covenants also, name but a few.

The relative impact of each of the new standards varies depending on the industry sector an entity operates in.

Impact of AASB 9 Financial Instruments

For organisations involved in lending:
AASB 9 Financial Instruments will have the greatest impact on entities whose primary business is lending (i.e. banks, credit unions, leasing companies etc.). New models and processes will have to be developed in order to determine loan loss provisions using a complex predictive loss model. This new model will result in losses on loan defaults being recognised far earlier than they are under the current standard. The new standard also requires far more disclosure about the credit deterioration of a lender’s loan book, even if loan losses are not expected to eventuate.

For organisations not primarily involved in lending:
Those entities not involved in lending, do not escape the impacts of the new management AASB 9.

Hedge Accounting:
AASB 9 introduces far simpler rules for an entity to be able to qualify for hedge accounting. Making it easier under this new standard for the recognition of gains and losses in respect of derivatives to be deferred until the transaction they were intended to hedge actually occurs.

Although accounting rules should never drive accounting practice, the application of the current restrictive rules on being able to apply hedge accounting, has seen the prevalence of hedging in the listed sector being far less than in the private sector. Largely due to listed companies not wanting to be subject to the income statement volatility resulting from the movement in the fair value of the derivative products if hedge accounting has not been achieved.

The introduction of AASB 9, should be a catalyst for all entities exposed to interest rate risk, FX risk and commodity risk to reconsider their risk management policies for these market risks, not only using simple swap productions, but also to investigate the use of options, swaptions, zero cost collars etc. This obviously corresponds to record low interest rates and greater volatility on the world markets in respect to currency and commodities.

Impact of AASB 15 Revenue from Customers

AASB 15 Revenue from Customers, is likely to have the most wide reaching impact particularly in the telecommunications, software, technology and construction sectors. Though it is likely to impact all sectors in one form or another.

Revenue recognition for ‘free’ goods and services:
AASB 15 will require entities to unbundle all distinct goods and services they provide to a customer. The identification of these goods and services is likely to include items that may have in the past been treated as marketing costs, for example free vouchers, free help desk, free extended warranty, free training, free hosting, free updates etc. Under AASB15 all of these items will now represent a separate element of revenue, with such revenue only being recognised when the free voucher is used or the free help desk service is provided.

Companies will need processes in place to identify these bundled goods and services and then have systems in place to allocate consideration to these separate items and accordingly recognise revenue over the period the service is delivered. This requirement will mean that the timing of revenue recognition will differ significantly between the customer being invoiced and paying for the goods and the corresponding revenue actually being recognised in respect of these free goods and services.

Combining goods and services provided to a customer if not distinct within the context of the promise to the customer:
The best way to illustrate this change is via an example:

A company agrees to construct a wall for a customer, but instead of raising a single invoice, it raises an invoice for the supply of bricks, which are delivered to the customer on 30th June and an invoice for bricklaying services that are subsequently performed in the first week of July. Under AASB 15 the company’s promise to the customer was to construct a wall, rather than to supply bricks, therefore revenue would be recognised as the wall is constructed.

This principle is likely to have most impact in the software sector where the supplier supplies a software licences and then provides hosting services, integration services, updates, etc. If the software will not function as promised to the customer without these additional services, the revenue will not be recognised when the software licence is supplied to the customer, but instead over the period in which the service is provided to the customer. This could in a number of cases significantly defer revenue compared with current practice and will require extensive changes to systems.

Variable Consideration:
The third major impact area of AAB 15 is its very strict rules on variable consideration, in particular the “reversal constraint”. The reversal constraint states that revenue can only be recognised if it is highly probable that the revenue will not reverse. This concept is of particular relevance to those entities that are subject to bonuses, awards, penalties and volume rebates or have a practice of issuing credit notes (price concessions to their customers).

The likely impact of this is a more conservative approach to recognising revenue, not only in respect of when to recognise revenue relating to bonuses but also in respect of the timing around the likelihood of an entity incurring penalties. This requirement will have the greatest impact on start-up companies or companies without a track record of delivering on projects. Start-up companies or those entering into new markets are most likely going to have to adopt a more conservative approach to recognising revenue, when compared to those companies with an established track record of delivering on that type of project.

Questions to consider in respect to AASB15 Revenue:

  • What is the impact? defer? accelerate? increase revenue? decrease revenue?
  • What is our plan for transition?
  • Will we "lose’ revenue?
  • Will we be double counting revenue?
  • How will it impact EBITDA?
  • Will it impact bonus payment, ESOPs?
  • Will it impact the dividend policy?
  • Will it impact banking covenants?
  • How will analysts react?
  • Do we need to change sales contracts? Sales and marketing methods?
  • Have we the resources available for adoption?
  • Who is in charge of the project?

Impact of AASB 16 Leases

AASB 16 Leases will have very wide ranging impacts for any entity entering into operating leases, whether that be leasing buildings, transport equipment, heavy plant or computer equipment.

The key take away for management is that in most cases a lease arrangement will now result in an asset (i.e. the right to use a piece of equipment) and a corresponding lease liability being recognised on a company’s balance sheet, this will subsequently impact gearing ratios, ROI calculations and has the potential to impact banking covenants.

The positive aspects of the introduction that Management need to be aware of is that the new lease standard effectively changes a rent expense into two elements, namely an amortisation charge on the right to use the asset and an interest charge on the lease liability, this change automatically improves an entity’s reported EBITDA.

Questions to be consider in respect to AASB 16 Leases:

  • How much will the EBITDA improve by?
  • Will it impact bonuses based on EBITDA?
  • What will it do to our gearing / borrowing levels?
  • What leases will be recorded on the balance sheet?
  • Which of our service contracts constitute a lease?
  • Should we adopt AASB 16 at the same time as AASB 9 & 15?

Impacts on other contracts and arrangements

It is very unlikely that an entity’s reported profit number will not be impacted by at least one of these three new standards, management therefore need to consider what changes to contracts need to take place where there is a defined reference to revenue, profit, EBIT or EBITDA. The type of contracts involved are likely to include:

  • bonus schemes
  • share option plans
  • deferred payment arrangements for either the sale or purchase of assets; and
  • banking covenants.

A key action element of an entity’s transition plan is to prepare an inventory count of potentially impacted agreements and then to undertake an exercise to ensure they are “IFRS proof”.

What transition route are you planning on adopting?

A key decision Management need to make is which transition route they are planning to adopt, including an understanding of the method their peers and competitors are likely to follow. This is in addition to ascertaining the impact on reported revenue and earnings post adoption of the new standard.

Full Retrospective Transition Method:
Preparers have the choice of adopting a full retrospective transition method where they will restate comparatives. In the case of a company with a 31 December year end, this would mean the first year of adoption would be the year ended 31 December 2018, however the results and balance sheet for the year ended 31 December 2017 would be restated, with the date of initial adoption being 1 January 2017.

Partial Retrospective Approach:
As an alternative to the full retrospective method, preparers may adopt a partial retrospective approach, that involves not restating comparatives and instead having a “catch up” up through retained earnings at the date of initial adoption. In the case of a company with a December year end this would mean the first year of adoption would be the year ended 31 December 2018, but the results and balance sheet for the year ended 31 December 2017 would not be restated in the comparatives, with the date of initial adoption being 1 January 2018.

The Pro’s and Con’s:
At first glance it would appear to be a “no brainer” to elect for the partial retrospective method - ‘why do today, what can be put off until tomorrow’, however this decision does come with its draw backs. In this first instance it does not give users a true set of numbers to make comparisons and see trends, therefore it does require the company to effectively maintain two sets of books in 2018, so the entity can disclose its results under the old rules. The question as to which transition method to use also needs to take into account investor relations, namely, what will be the market reaction if competitors are adopting the full retrospective method or vice-versa? Further how will this impact analysts’ views of results?
In the case of revenue, it is likely that adoption of AASB 15 will see revenue being deferred compared with current practice, this is likely to mean that revenue will be reported twice (double counted) i.e. revenue will be recorded in 2017 under the current rules and then again in 2018 and beyond under the new rules.

Key questions Management should ask of their finance teams and auditors:

  • Are we on top of adoption?
  • Have we got sufficient resources/or access to resources to handle a project of this nature? (given that this is a once in a generation change it is unlikely that a well structured finance team will have sufficient resources to handle the transition required)
  • What is the timeline to be able to determine the impacts?
  • What processes and systems will need changing?
  • What resources are required to change processes and systems?
  • When will the project be finished?
  • Who will be in charge and accountable for this project?

If you’re new to Bliss as a range, I’ve been wracking my brains to recommend an entry point to the brand which will give a good representation of what it all stands for as well as being something to tackle an immediate issue. One of the products that I love – and it is very relevant for summer skin – is Bliss Steep Clean Mattifying Moisturiser that gives oil control and beautiful moisturising properties at the same time. Neat trick. Except with Bliss there is no trickery behind the fun names; it’s all solid, good problem-solution skin care with some excellent pampering items, too. Steep Clean is packed with anti-oxidants and smooths out skin texture as well as giving a boost of no-shine hydration. As summer tends to send oil glands into overdrive, it’s a great one if your skin gets more oily in summer like most people, or if your skin is only oily in summer. A recommendation that I’m completely confident in for Bliss pampering is Blood Orange and White Pepper Body Scrub that smells divinely fruity and sloughs away any roughness so you look fabulously smooth and perfected in your bikini. Use it a couple of times a week and follow on with a body moisturiser to watch your skin shed away that undercover look and start to look velvety and glowing.

With an explosion of disco balls, glitter, pure cheesy pop classics and even a wedding, Steps were back with a bang last night.

It was 20 years ago this week since the absolute tune that is 5,6,7,8 was released, but you wouldn't know it from the reaction last night.

The fans went crazy for the old school classic in such a manner you would think it was still in the charts.

That was the general consensus most of the night.

From the second support act Vengaboys took to the stage, the audience were on their feet singing along. I have never seen a packed out arena for a support act before (most are still getting a drink) but the four-piece had everyone eating out of the palm of their hand.

Rolling out their hits such as Vengabus and Ibiza, there was no stopping these four. But it was floor-filler Boom, Boom, Boom which got the biggest reacton.

It's funny how years later we can still sing along word for word.

Vengaboys were the perfect warm-up for the main event, pop saviours Steps who are back to remind us they never should have gone away.

With a new album as well as a backlog of dancefloor classics, the audience knew they were in for a good night, but I would say it was even better than expected.

They may have even been able to turn a sceptic or two onto Steps-mania which I predict will sweep the country again after this tour which kicked off in Belfast on Sunday.

They may be 20 years older but the five piece haven't let their energy levels dip and were busting out some of the old dance routines many of you will be familiar with from school discos back in the day - think Tragedy, you know you remember the moves.

I wouldn't want to spoil the setlist but don't worry, all the favourites are covered as well as a new tune or two - and some you may have forgotten.

From the costumes to the lighting and set, it really was a pop concert of old coming after all the senses.

I know I for one will be digging out my old Step CDs, they are definitely not Better Best Forgotten.

If you have ticket for Tuesday night's show then prepare for a night of pure cheesy pop nostalgia with your old friends Claire, H, Lisa, Faye and Lee.

By Charlie Tuxworth, Director of Software & Innovation at Equiniti

If ever there was a pivotal moment in the future of digitalisation, that time is now. The Cambridge Analytica (CA) Facebook scandal, which has sparked controversy over foreign state interference and election rigging, has far wider implications. It brings under scrutiny how we harvest data, what it is used for, and how we control its dissemination - with user consent at the heart of the matter.

How many of the 87 million users, of which over a million were in the UK, really understood that their Facebook data was not under their control when they signed the terms and conditions (Ts&Cs)? How many even read them?

It is estimated that you'd need 76 days to read all the privacy policies an average internet user encounters each year, with the average policy containing over 2,500 words of legalese. Small wonder that we simply tend to accept the blanket permissions we're asked for.

Agreeing to Facebook's Ts&Cs grants access to your personal contacts, phone and text messages, geolocation data and web browsing history. The same permissions are also then applied to Instagram and Messenger. Register your card for peer-to-peer payments over Messenger and you're allowing Facebook to buy data about your offline purchases.

So why would we grant these permissions at all? Well, data sharing is necessary if we want the cross-platform functionality and personalisation that is associated with modern services, so as long as we want a personal online experience then data mining and analytics are here to stay. The trouble is that there's a fine line between manipulating users and targeting them in their interest.

Recognising the need to make user consent and data usage more transparent, regulators are tightening legislation and next month will see the introduction of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which sets a higher standard for consent.

Although, if a company can justify a lawful need for processing they won't always need to request consent.

GDPR aims to give users more control over their data, and users will have greater rights such as the ability to be kept informed about collection and use; access to data stored about them, the ability to rectify or erase it, to object or restrict processing and to be able to port their data to other service providers with greater ease.

Are users likely to exercise these new rights? Those of us that opt-in will continue to trade our data for services but those that opt-out could find themselves precluded from a personalised online experience.

As companies prepare for GDPR, I've noticed in my inbox many more requests for me to opt-in, and it is tempting to do so without understanding the implications.

At Equiniti we recognise that we have significant responsibilities in the gathering, handling and protecting of consumer data. If users withdraw consent, technological advances that allow us to personalise services and marketing messages need to be reviewed. It's therefore in our interests as data processors and data controllers to ensure we protect the good relationship we have with our end users.

In light of the CA scandal, perhaps one of the biggest benefits of GDPR is that it places far more onus on the IT community to communicate with the user. This could pave the way for initiatives such as user friendly abridged versions of Ts & Cs.

One thing is for certain, as consumers we're all increasingly aware of the value of our personal data. This will help to ensure that companies do stand over their obligation to prevent its abuse and to rebuild our trust and safeguard digital innovation.

Idol Chatter

For “Onion” fans out there who also appreciate all things religious, you’ve got to read this. This week, “The Onion” has a hilarious faux-story about a man who posted a “modern-day” 95 Theses (think Martin Luther), in the form of “95 Comment Cards” nailed to the front door of a South Dakota IHOP.

Just to tempt you to check it out–here are a few winner pancake “theses”:

  • “IHOP has grown weak on powdered sugar and fruity garnishes, forsaking the righteousness of its original rib-sticking mission.”
  • “IHOP is about pancakes, not syrups. No pancake can exist drowned in a pool of lingonberry. No man who comes hungry can leave happy on artificial orange-flavored goo.”

    Please read “Modern-Day Martin Luther Nails 95 Comment Cards To IHOP Door” for a good laugh today.

Market Overview

Osino Resources Announces Discovery of Major New Gold Trend

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 08, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Osino Resources Corp. (TSXV: OSI) ("Osino" or "the Company"), is excited to announce the discovery of a major new gold bearing trend located in the southern central zone of the Damara orogenic belt, stretching from the producing Navachab Gold Mine to Osino's Okapawe target, more than 40km to the northeast.

Figure 1
Location of Karibib Gold Trend and Major Osino Exploration Targets

The Karibib Gold Trend is defined by a large-scale, deep, basin margin structure (the Karibib Fault) which is visible in the regional aeromagnetic data. It has been sampled over a strike length of 20km to date and continues for a further 30km to the southwest. A number of significant soil anomalies (Twin Hills, OJW and Okapawe) have been discovered along the fault zone which appears to be mineralized throughout its length. The soil anomalies are in the range of 100 to 400ppb gold against a background of less than 5ppb and are between 1km and 4km in length following the regional northeast trend. The mineralized prospects occur in association with splays, bends and syn-tectonic granite intrusions, typical of fertile orogenic belts.

The remaining portion from Twin Hills to the Navachab Gold Mine is currently being explored and further discoveries are considered likely.

Figure 1:

The figure above indicates the location of the Karibib Gold Trend and major soil anomalies discovered to date. Osino has now consolidated its ground holding from the Goldkuppe prospect in the northeast all the way to the producing Navachab Gold Mine in the southwest. Also indicated is the location of the major marble marker horizon and the area to be covered by aeromagnetics and sampling between Twin Hills and Navachab during the rest of 2018.

In the press release dated 11 July, 2018, the gold corridor was referred to as the Khan River Gold Corridor as it was initially named when the presence of a mineralized system was noted near the Khan river, which is a significant local feature. This has now been changed to the Karibib Gold Trend to reflect its growing and more regional extent.

Drill Results and Interpretation

As reported in a press release dated 11 July, 2018, a short scout drill program (RC and DD) was undertaken during April and May of 2018 with 23 holes at the Twin Hills prospect and 6 at Okapawe. The drill results to date at Twin Hills confirm the presence of gold within a large-scale hydrothermal alteration system along splays from the basin margin fault and stretching at least 3.5km in strike length. Gold grades increase with depth and the next round of drilling will target the mineralized system down dip and towards the west where the splays intersect the Karibib fault to locate higher grade portions of this large system.

The holes drilled were drilled to 100m in average length and at an inclination of 60 degrees towards the southeast. The gold mineralization is contained within a package of quartz biotite schists and is associated with quartz sericite arsenopyrite and pyrite alteration. Structural measurements made on core and on outcrop at Twin Hills indicate that the gold mineralization may be controlled by localized folding immediately to the south of the Karibib Fault. Significant intercepts are presented in Table 1 below. There are also additional long intercepts of low grade but anomalous bedrock.

Recent detailed field mapping and rock chip sampling at Twin Hills has indicated the presence of a second parallel mineralized zone to the north of the drilled zone. Rock chip samples collected have returned several positive samples including a peak value of 25g/t in a sulphide bearing quartz vein.

Future Work Program

In the coming months, Osino will focus on exploring the Karibib Gold Trend to the southwest of Twin Hills where it continues a further 30km towards the Navachab Gold Mine. The work to be undertaken will include a detailed aeromagnetic survey, geological mapping, soil and calcrete sampling followed by RAB drilling.

A second round of reverse circulation and core drilling is planned for early 2019, once the remaining Karibib Gold Trend has been explored southwest to Navachab and further drill targets have been identified and ranked.

Quality Assurance

All Osino sample assay results have been independently monitored through a quality control/quality assurance ("QA/QC") program including the insertion of blind standards, blanks and pulp and reject duplicate samples. Logging and sampling are completed at Osino's secure facility located in Omaruru near the Karibib Project. Drill core is sawn in half on site and half drill-core samples are securely transported to the Actlabs sample prep facility in Windhoek, Namibia. RC chips are split at the drill rig using a riffle splitter until a 5-7kg sample is obtained. The core and chips are dried, crushed to 95% -10mesh, split to 250g and pulverised to 95% -150mesh. Sample pulps are sent to Ontario, Canada for analysis. Gold analysis is by 30g fire assay with AA finish and automatically re-analysed with Gravimetric finish if Au >5 g/t. In addition, pulps undergo 4-Acid digestion and multi-element analysis by ICP-AES or ICP-MS.

Best Online Golf Betting Options for Hong Kong Open

Posted by: Mike Davis
Hong Kong Open Golf Betting

With the UBS Hong Kong Open officially underway, online golf betting fans are ecstatic that the 2018 European Tour has begun. This past week we witnessed an amazing finale in Dubai as Tommy Fleetwood became the 2017 Race to Dubai Champion all the while John Rahm finished his rookie season in fashion by taking the Tour Championship Title. It was a worthy finish to a thrilling season of golf betting and it has unquestionably left players hungry for more enticing action. Luckily, with the Hong Kong Open already initiated, players won’t have to wait too long to cash in on some lucrative payout from odds online betting.

This year will mark the first time since the 2004 season that the European Tour has commenced in Hong Kong. That year sports betting websites and players alike witnessed Miguel Angel Jimenez won the first of his four titles at said event. This year the field will be headlined by the likes of Justin Rose, Sergio Garcia, Tommy Fleetwood, Matthew Fitzpatrick and Rafa Cabrera-Bello. Outside of these names, there isn’t that much star power competing at the event. However, this should not discourage players from betting on the Hong Kong Open since the lack of diverse talent makes making betting predictions even easier.

However, online golf betting players might want to refrain from backing either Rose or Fleetwood in this event. The reason being that although both athletes, while they might be extremely talented, they’re both coming off a fierce battle in Dubai. Ultimately this leaves the door open for someone who isn’t as talented, but much more rested, to come in and pull off a thrilling upset.

The course the golfers will be competing on is homage to the old days of golf. To help clarify; the 6,700 yard, par 70 track, is all about finding fairways and greens and emphasizes course management above all else – the complete opposite of what we’re used to seeing on the flat tracks of the PGA Tour. Big hitters have won on this course, most recently Scott Hend and Rose, but those who exercise a more technical philosophy have a better chance of finding success on this green.

Since we mentioned betting on underdogs, players might want to take a look at Haotong Li who is facing 33/1 odds. The Chinese world No. 57 is certainly the frontrunner of the bottom pack of contenders, outside of the aforementioned big shots. Li is coming off a T-13th finish earned at the Tour Final as well as a solo 4th that was earned at the Nedbank Challenge. Furthermore, Haotong ranked 4th in GIR out of Dubai which further makes him seem like an excellent online golf betting option ahead of the Hong Kong Open.

Haotong is not known for having a ‘straight off the tee’ start, but what the Chinese player does exceptionally well is perform at an exemplary level on the most difficult tracks. Considering the track that he’ll be competing on in this event, Li is inarguably your best underdog to back.

Acts 14
Paul and Barnabas at Iconium. 1In Iconium they entered the Jewish synagogue together and spoke in such a way that a great number of both Jews and Greeks came to believe, 2although the disbelieving Jews stirred up and poisoned the minds of the Gentiles against the brothers. 3So they stayed for a considerable period, speaking out boldly for the Lord, who confirmed the word about his grace by granting signs and wonders to occur through their hands.#Mk 16:17–20. 4The people of the city were divided: some were with the Jews; others, with the apostles. 5When there was an attempt by both the Gentiles and the Jews, together with their leaders, to attack and stone them,#2 Tm 3:11. 6they realized it and fled to the Lycaonian cities of Lystra and Derbe and to the surrounding countryside, 7where they continued to proclaim the good news.
Paul and Barnabas at Lystra. 8#In an effort to convince his hearers that the divine power works through his word, Paul cures the cripple. However, the pagan tradition of the occasional appearance of gods among human beings leads the people astray in interpreting the miracle. The incident reveals the cultural difficulties with which the church had to cope. Note the similarity of the miracle worked here by Paul to the one performed by Peter in Acts 3:2–10. At Lystra there was a crippled man, lame from birth, who had never walked. 9He listened to Paul speaking, who looked intently at him, saw that he had the faith to be healed, 10and called out in a loud voice, “Stand up straight on your feet.” He jumped up and began to walk about. 11When the crowds saw what Paul had done, they cried out in Lycaonian, “The gods have come down to us in human form.”#28:6. 12They called Barnabas “Zeus”#Zeus…Hermes: in Greek religion, Zeus was the chief of the Olympian gods, the “father of gods and men”; Hermes was a son of Zeus and was usually identified as the herald and messenger of the gods. and Paul “Hermes,” because he was the chief speaker. 13And the priest of Zeus, whose temple was at the entrance to the city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, for he together with the people intended to offer sacrifice.
14The apostles Barnabas and Paul tore their garments#Tore their garments: a gesture of protest. when they heard this and rushed out into the crowd, shouting, 15#This is the first speech of Paul to Gentiles recorded by Luke in Acts (cf. Acts 17:22–31). Rather than showing how Christianity is the logical outgrowth of Judaism, as he does in speeches before Jews, Luke says that God excuses past Gentile ignorance and then presents a natural theology arguing for the recognition of God’s existence and presence through his activity in natural phenomena. “Men, why are you doing this? We are of the same nature as you, human beings. We proclaim to you good news that you should turn from these idols to the living God, ‘who made heaven and earth and sea and all that is in them.’#3:12; 10:26; Ex 20:11; Ps 146:6. 16In past generations he allowed all Gentiles to go their own ways;#17:30. 17yet, in bestowing his goodness, he did not leave himself without witness, for he gave you rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, and filled you with nourishment and gladness for your hearts.”#Wis 13:1. 18Even with these words, they scarcely restrained the crowds from offering sacrifice to them.
19#2 Cor 11:25; 2 Tm 3:11. However, some Jews from Antioch and Iconium arrived and won over the crowds. They stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead. 20But when the disciples gathered around him, he got up and entered the city. On the following day he left with Barnabas for Derbe.
End of the First Mission. 21After they had proclaimed the good news to that city and made a considerable number of disciples, they returned to Lystra and to Iconium and to Antioch. 22They strengthened the spirits of the disciples and exhorted them to persevere in the faith, saying, “It is necessary for us to undergo many hardships to enter the kingdom of God.”#1 Thes 3:3. 23They appointed presbyters#They appointed presbyters: the communities are given their own religious leaders by the traveling missionaries. The structure in these churches is patterned on the model of the Jerusalem community (Acts 11:30; 15:2, 5, 22; 21:18). for them in each church and, with prayer and fasting, commended them to the Lord in whom they had put their faith. 24Then they traveled through Pisidia and reached Pamphylia. 25After proclaiming the word at Perga they went down to Attalia. 26From there they sailed to Antioch, where they had been commended to the grace of God for the work they had now accomplished.#13:1–3. 27And when they arrived, they called the church together and reported what God had done with them and how he had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles. 28Then they spent no little time with the disciples.
