Metrics details
H2O) play a fundamental role in mantle melting beneath ocean spreading centers
but what role they play during the melt migration remains unknown
Using seismological data recorded by ocean-bottom seismometers
here we report the presence of deep earthquakes at 10–20 km depth in the mantle along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge axis
Syntheses of regional basaltic rock samples and their geochemical analyses indicate the presence of an abnormally high quantity of CO2 (~0.4–3.0 wt%) in the primary melts
As the degassing of a high concentration of dissolved CO2 produces volume change
we suggest that deep earthquakes in the mantle result from the degassing of CO2
The large concentration of CO2 in the primitive melt will influence the presence of melt beneath the lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary at sub-solidus temperatures
the melt is focused in a narrow zone beneath the ridge axis as it migrates upward and interacts with the host rocks
we have no clear understanding of how these melts migrate to the surface
especially in the upper part of the mantle
These observations indicate that the maximum depth of earthquakes also depends on other factors
More details on earthquake locations are presented in the Methods section
Categories A and B are considered of good quality and are used for interpretation
Note that this microseismicity record is just a brief snapshot in time
and it provides insight into the processes along this MAR supersegment
even if the microseismic activity may vary substantially over years
and hence the mantle beneath this RC2 segment axis is hot
as expected for a typical magmatic segment
and hence would not affect the lithosphere beneath the segment RC2 axis
these results indicate that magmatism dominates the crustal accretion process at the segment RC2
and these earthquakes occur in a hot mantle at temperatures >1100 °C
The dashed blue lines and numbers indicate the estimated CO2 contents in the primary melt on each map
not all events are characterized by low-frequency energy
and more earthquakes would be required to study the characteristics of their sources in the future
producing earthquakes in the mantle between 10 km and 20 km
760 earthquakes were identified and registered into the SEISAN database
Each of these events was then checked manually to make sure they were detected by at least five OBSs
and hence was selected for the subsequent earthquake location and focal mechanism computation
and hence we can confidently interpret these hypocenter locations
Earthquake magnitudes were determined using the local magnitude scale ML70:
indicating that those samples are degassed
The raw seismic data and cruise reports are available on the website (https://campagnes.flotteoceanographique.fr/campagnes/18001107/) and can be requested for scientific purposes.

MOANALUA SECTION OF THE HONOLULU FOREST RESERVE REOPENS
(HONOLULU) – The Moanalua Section of the Honolulu Watershed Forest Reserve has reopened after being closed for safety reasons since June 12
The DLNR Division of Forestry and Wildlife (DOFAW) had closed the section at the request of the City and County of Honolulu
due to construction activity associated with the dismantling of the Ha‘ikū Stairs
“Now that the project is tied up in litigation
we wanted to restore access to the forest reserve
we are asking hikers to avoid ascending Middle Ridge
as hiker activity has created extensive erosion issues that are damaging the native forest,” said DOFAW O‘ahu Branch Manager Marigold Zoll
Recently a team of volunteers worked to correct some of the drainage issues on Middle Ridge to protect the native forest
the main access point to the forest reserve

long past the time students walked out of their classrooms for the day
The 2013-2014 school-level Teachers of the Year were announced Sept
29 by the Newton County School System (NCSS) and the Newton County Chamber of Commerce after being selected by their peers for the designation at the end of last school year
They will now participate in the county program
with the dinner serving as the Newton County School System’s 2015 Teacher of the Year
Nominees – one from each public school – worked on the district Teacher of the Year essay packet over the summer
which required answers to questions concerning their educational background
Each of the 23 teachers will sit for a 20-minute interview with a panel of volunteer judges representing NCSS
local businesses and civic organizations Sept
The three teachers with the highest combined scores from the essay and interview will be announced as finalists on Friday
A selection committee will observe each of the three finalists in the classroom on Oct
The teacher with the highest combined score on the essay
interview and observation will become the Teacher of the Year during a special ceremony at Newton High School on Thursday
and I thank you for your service,” said Samantha Fuhrey
“The fact that you’re here is a testament to your dedication to this school system because we know there are other choices out there
All 23 teachers will be recognized at the reception at Newton
with two runners-up receiving a crystal vase
The county-wide Teacher of the Year will receive a crystal vase
a free three-month car rental from Covington Ford and $1,000 and will represent Newton County in the Georgia Teacher of the Year program
“Newton County’s Teacher of the Year program would not be possible if it were not for the support of our community,” the press release said

After several close calls and years of floating among the courses lying just outside the Top-100
Toowoomba Golf Club at Middle Ridge finally entered the national ranking in January this year
I couldn’t fault the place with very good kikuyu fairways and terrific bentgrass greens,” ranking judge Terry Anderson said
“The layout is much better than what it was when I last played at Toowoomba about a decade ago
including the relatively new par-4 9th hole,” added fellow judge Toby Greenwood
While Top-100 ranker Joe Thomas was even more positive
“With more improvements planned for the course at Toowoomba
I can only see it moving deeper into the Top-100 in 2025
Its conditioning alone has it well-placed among these courses that everyone can play,” he said
Toowoomba Golf Club was founded in 1896 making it the second oldest club in Queensland
predated only by Townsville Golf Club which opened for play three months earlier
The Brisbane Golf Club was established a matter of weeks after Toowoomba hosted its first rounds
The club was established by several Scottish families who were early settlers keen to recreate a piece of their golfing heritage in the heart of the Darling Downs
The 21 original members laid out a nine-hole course in Harristown
the club bounced around the edges of the town to different locations before settling on its current site at Middle Ridge in 1926
Sydney professional Fred Popplewell – the 1925 Australian Open Champion
who would win a second national title three years later – returned from playing in The Open Championship at Royal Lytham and St Annes in England to assist with the design of the new course
A newspaper report in May 1926 under the small headline
“The course has architectural features which experts state is possessed by no other inland links in Australia
Its chief charms are the variety which the holes offer and the views of imposing grandeur that can be had from the clubhouse and it various points on the course
“The project has been conceived on a grand scale
and the club intends to spare no expense in converting the course into one that will make an Australian-wide appeal.”
It took 96 years but Toowoomba’s layout is finally gaining its wider appeal
Much of that appeal comes on the back of improved presentation in recent years
as well as course design changes and the early stages of a tree removal program that has made the layout strategically a better golfing experience
It has certainly progressed from the course experienced by the likes of famed players including Bobby Locke
Greg Norman and Peter Senior in years gone by
Toowoomba’s turning point came just a handful of years ago when the club entered into an agreement to lease some of its land – incorporating the green site and approach on the 9th hole – to Aura Holdings for the construction of a retirement living development
the club now has the funding to take their course to the next level
Course superintendent Mick Kelly and his team – with advice from Brisbane-based designer Brett Mogg – spent much of the first year of the pandemic building a redesigned 9th hole
transforming it into what is now a very good short par-4 that can be played a variety of ways
which plays along the southern boundary of the course
has been redesigned with a new green complex
“There were two old bunkers on the left and an old bunker on the right that was about 40 metres short of the green
The putting surface had a lot of disease in it,” Toowoomba General Manager
“We took some trees out and reshaped the fairway and green
so water would run off the green and around the new bunker and not into it
We chose to do the 13th hole (after the 9th hole rebuild) because it was a good example of how we would have to do fairways
reshaped greens and greenside bunkers elsewhere across the course.”
The new revetted face bunkering here is a departure from Toowoomba’s traditional sand pushed-up-the-face style and Kelly’s team has done a beautiful job on these new sandy hazards
With the revetted face bunkering ‘experiment’ success on the 13th came remodelled bunkers on the par-5 10th and the recently opened par-3 3rd hole
despite generally being smaller than the older bunkers
they have been shaped with a catchment area around them
just like you would find on any of the great links courses of Britain and Ireland
it shouldn’t come as any real surprise that there are about 11,500 trees scattered across the Toowoomba course
there are 8,000 gums dominating the landscape
camphor laurels and a variety of other trees filling out the edges of most holes
“The original improvement plan was based on bunkers
we’re taking into consideration the green surfaces and we’re also talking about which trees might need to come down
for reasons of safety as well as the quality of the turf and how the course plays,” Marr says
An ongoing tree management program will undoubtedly improve the enjoyment of a round here
There are some tight driving holes – the dogleg left 4th and the dogleg right 5th holes being prime examples – where being accurate
Get your drive too high here and you risk hitting into the canopy of the gums overhanging the fairway
Toowoomba’s new holes were a highlight for me
especially the 13th with its width from the tee and the wide
which only opened for play at the end of January
The downhill tee shot over the lake to the green on the par-3 7th is a short iron for most but it still strikes fear into seasoned golfers
Hitting uphill towards the two-tiered green on the short par-5 17th
is a real test of nerve and club selection skill with out-of-bounds to be found long of the green
The kikuyu fairways really thrive in the Darling Downs climate
while the Penncross bentgrass greens would be the envy of many private city clubs with much bigger maintenance budgets
I came away from Toowoomba in total agreeance with our Top-100 judge Joe Thomas – higher accolades are on the horizon for this outstanding regional course

First-time winners Roland Baglin and Chris McCourt found themselves in elite company as two of the seven winners of The Ninth Middle Ridge Toowoomba Legends Pro-Am held at the Toowoomba Golf Club
The first of two SParms PGA Legends Tour events in the Darling Downs region
the superb conditions delivered a remarkable result as seven players posted scores of two-under 68
McCourt and Mike Zilko braved the frosty morning conditions to set the mark for the afternoon groups
the past two Order of Merit champions Brad Burns and Andre Stolz matching their score along with Richard Backwell and Murray Lott
“You know you have played well when the likes of Brad Burns and Andre Stolz are standing next to you.”
“It was cold this morning but being from Victoria I am quite experienced playing in that type of weather,” added Baglin
“The course was in perfect condition and with those perfect weather conditions this afternoon I thought I was no chance to be standing here now.”
After missing the first four events of the Queensland swing
Backwell picked up where he left off earlier in the year making
picking up his third win of the year after two earlier victories in Victoria
“I played lot of golf in this region as a youngster and that seems to have helped,” said Backwell
The SParms PGA Legends Tour now makes the short trip down the road to the City Golf Club for the City Legends Pro-Am on Friday

The architecture is the border of living. Living between inside and outside. Each element is a term that, when collocates with others, creates a sentence of space.
Mid-ridge Villa has been settled between a slender but prosperous garden in the heart of the farmlands, for a family of three who is always gathering. A twelve-year-old child, the climax of the story, and her rebellious spirit, along with her constant training to become a professional swimmer and her occasional desire for isolation and privacy, has been at the center of her parent's attention and then the architects’.

This feature can be looked at in the gaps that have been appeared in the public zone of the building, consequently dividing the portion and creating more space to accommodate habitants.

KEEN golfers David Goss and Nancy Young are among the first deposit-holders to find their dream retirement apartment at The Ninth Middle Ridge beside Toowoomba Golf Club’s historic course
The couple play the course two or three times a week and Nancy is a life member after serving as the first female president of club
David says they are both eagerly awaiting the time when they can call the golf club their home and just walk out their door and onto the course
“We can’t wait and are looking forward to living at The Ninth – the sooner the better,’’ he says
“Our decision to move to The Ninth came as a result of a combination of factors including the fact Nancy has had some health issues
It became a sensible decision to look at something that will put us in a good position for the future
“We also like the idea of living right on the golf course and it’s in Toowoomba because we have no desire to move away
We will have three bedrooms so family can visit and we won’t be restricted to living only in our apartment with all the community facilities.’’
Construction work is underway on the much-anticipated independent living community being developed by Aura Holdings
a small southeast Queensland retirement village provider and operator
Experienced retirement village builder and home-grown Toowoomba company McNab has been appointed to the project with Cox Architecture
The Ninth Middle Ridge is Aura Holdings’ sixth village.

maintenance-free lifestyle in the low-rise development with facilities
and the convenience of a community bus.
Aura Holdings’ director Tim Russell says it is exciting to see construction progressing on the site beside the ninth hole after delays in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic
“Despite an unavoidable delay to the start of construction
Aura has continued to be firmly committed to this project,” Russell said
“I am thrilled that things are now moving on this exciting project for Toowoomba
“The Ninth will have equal appeal to golfers and non-golfers who want to live in such a beautiful
“Our residents can live the independent lifestyles they crave with a range of support services delivered to their apartment if needed.
“This is a keenly awaited development for Toowoomba Golf Club members and retirees who are attracted to Toowoomba’s lifestyle and all its facilities
This is retirement living for the 21st century.’’
Construction of The Ninth is due for completion by the end of 2022
Apartments are selling now from $595,000 and can be reserved with a $5,000 fully-refundable deposit.

State officials said they have closed a portion of a Moanalua trail known as “Middle Ridge” while construction work is underway to remove Haiku Stairs
State officials said they have closed a portion of a Moanalua trail known as “Middle Ridge” while construction work is underway to remove Haiku Stairs
has been temporarily halted pending results of an evidentiary hearing scheduled in Circuit Court on Friday
according to the nonprofit Friends of Haiku Stairs
The City and County of Honolulu had initially announced plans to dismantle the stairs – also known popularly as the “Stairway to Heaven’ — at the end of April
The Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources nevertheless says “Middle Ridge” is closed
and will remain closed for 30 days or longer
during construction work to remove Haiku Stairs
Middle Ridge leads to the summit area of Haiku Stairs from the back side involving a more lengthy and difficult hike over the Koolaus from Moanalua
Many websites refer to it as the “legal backway” to Stairway to Heaven
is necessary for protection of biological resources; public health
safety and welfare; protection of property; and for management activities,” said DLNR in a news release
“The City and County of Honolulu has jurisdiction over the stairs and since announcing the structure will be dismantled
there has been an uptick in hiker traffic on Middle Ridge.”
Due to recent citations of trespassers at the base of the stairs
people have resorted to using the Middle Ridge to access the summit
driving an “unprecedented increase in traffic to this sensitive watershed.”
“DLNR officials are taking these actions to prevent people from getting injured while attempting to access the stairs from the hazardous ridgeline,” said the state agency
“Foresters are also concerned about the ecological damage hikers are doing to this sensitive native forest.”
The closure includes parts of the Honolulu Watershed Forest Reserve bound by the Kulanaʻahane Trail to the north
Kamananui Valley Road and an unofficial trail known as Waolani to the south
and the Koolau summit ridgeline to the east
Signs about the closure have been posted on impacted trails
and hikers caught using them could be cited

led to the city’s and state’s joint decision to close another access point leading to Haiku Stairs
Moanalua Valley Neighborhood Park at the back of Moanalua Valley will close as the city’s contractor continues to dismantle the Haiku Stairs
It’s an expansion of the closure that the state instituted last month for the same reason
a World War II-era installation that climbs a ridge from Kaneohe to the top of the Koolau mountain range
lured hikers for decades to its sweeping vistas over much of the Windward Coast
Accessing the stairs has been illegal for much of that time. Honolulu mayors have had different opinions on what to do about them, including former Mayor Kirk Caldwell’s plan to institute managed access. But liability concerns, plus neighbors who complained about noisy and littering hikers, led Mayor Rick Blangiardi in 2021 to decide to remove the stairs
Many hikers continued to access the summit legally by going up the other side of the mountain range through Moanalua Valley Neighborhood Park
the state Department of Land and Natural Resources closed that summit trail
“It has become increasingly clear that dozens of hikers have ignored the partial closure,” DLNR Chair Dawn Chang said in a joint news release by the mayor’s office and the state DLNR
The city has jurisdiction over Moanalua Valley Neighborhood Park and the state has jurisdiction over the trails that lead farther into the valley
“The popularity of the Middle Ridge ‘social trail’ has created large erosion scars
and the route is inherently unsafe and damaging to the native forest
Adding in active helicopter operations exacerbates unsafe conditions and law enforcement will arrest or cite anyone who violates the closure,” the news release says
Moanalua Valley Neighborhood Park will remain closed for the duration of the stairs’ removal
The Friends of Haiku Stairs filed two lawsuits against the stairs’ removal over the past year. A judge decided against them on the first lawsuit, and while the second lawsuit is ongoing, a different judge allowed the city to proceed with removing the stairs in May

DLNR CLOSING PORTION OF FOREST RESERVE FOR HA‘IKŪ STAIRS REMOVAL
(HONOLULU) – A portion of the Moanalua Section of the Honolulu Watershed Forest Reserve known as “Middle Ridge” will be closed for 90 days
during construction work to remove the Ha‘ikū Stairs
closes the portion of the reserve bounded by the Kulanaʻahane Trail to the north
the Kamananui Valley Road and an unofficial trail known as Waolani to the south
safety and welfare; protection of property; and for management activities
The City and County of Honolulu has jurisdiction over the stairs and since announcing the structure will be dismantled
there has been an uptick in hiker traffic on Middle Ridge
maintained state trail and has become eroded and dangerous with the increase in hiker traffic in the last few years
DLNR officials are taking these actions to prevent people from getting injured while attempting to access the stairs from the hazardous ridgeline
Foresters are also concerned about the ecological damage hikers are doing to this sensitive native forest
The forest reserve is home to irreplaceable cultural and natural resources that are being damaged by this increase in activity
Due to recent citations and arrests of trespassers by Honolulu Police Dept
officers at the base of the stairs on the windward side of the Koolau
people have resorted to using the Middle Ridge Area to access the summit on the leeward side of the Ko‘olau Mountains
driving an unprecedented increase in traffic to this sensitive watershed
When the City and County of Honolulu begins removing stair modules
there will be increased construction activity
which heightens the risks and dangers to anyone in the area
People caught using the trails during the closure period could be cited
The DLNR Division of Forestry and Wildlife (DOFAW) has posted closure signs for the impacted trails
The Kulanaʻahane Trail and Kamananui Valley Road will remain open
DLNR encourages hikers to use designated Nā Ala Hele trails and to be mindful of the impact each one of us has on nature when we choose to recreate in sensitive places

(CSE: RNR) (the "Company" or "Mariner") is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with Crest Resources Corp.
whereby the Company acquires a 100% undivided interest in the True Grit and Middle Ridge North gold properties in Newfoundland and Labrador
"The acquisition of the Middle Ridge and True Grit Projects
combined with the direct staking of the Great Bend project solidifies Mariner's commanding land position in the southern Exploits Subzone
With meaningful historic intersections of gold over 10's and 100's of metres True Grit is a solid base with which to build resources and explore for new gold discovery associated with the Grub Zone and Dog Bay Line gold systems."
A map of the True Grit and Middle Ridge North properties:
** Denotes mineral claim ownership expired and claims will be eligible for acquisition at a later date
The True Grit property is located in south central Newfoundland and consists of 614 mineral claims covering approximately 153.5 km² (15,350 Ha)
The property is accessible by traveling north from the town of Bay d'Espoir on the Bay d'Espoir Highway for 12 km where the highway transects the property
A 3-phase powerline runs 350 meters to the south of the property
The project lays within the Exploits Sub Zone which is underlain by siliciclastic rocks of the St
Joseph's Cove Formation is comprised of siltstone
sandstone and conglomerate with minor quartz sericite schists thought to represent altered felsic tuffs
Historical till surveys resulted in numerous high gold grain counts (Pickett
1990) which led to the discovery by Teck Resources of the two True Grit mineralized zones
The True Grit #1 showing is a 2 m wide zone of quartz-chlorite veining in rusty sericitic and chloritic siltstone with up to 5% disseminated arsenopyrite and minor pyrite
The mineralization appears to exploit brittle fractures in the centre of a small antiformal fold within siltstone
The average grade of channel sampling within the zone is 7.3 g/t Au over 0.69 m over a strike length of approximately 8 m
The highest grade channel sample was 15.6 g/t Au over 1 m from the northern portion of the zone
Grab samples up to 30.2 g/t Au were reported (Pickett
The showing also lies within a 2.6 km long by 0.8 km wide coincident Au-As-Sb- in-soil anomaly
The True Grit #2 showing occurs 1.2 km to the south of the True Grit #1 showing
Trenching by Teck Resources in 1990 exposed a 50 m wide by 175 m long zone of gold mineralization grading up to 0.48 g/t Au over 47 m in altered pelites/metaturbidites
with 1-3% disseminated pyrite-pyrrhotite-arsenopyrite and
18 g/t Au over 0.5 m and 6.5 g/t Au over 0.5 m
A grab sample of the arsenopyrite bearing quartz vein assayed 9.6 g/t Au
Cornerstone joint ventured the property to Moydow Mines International who carried out several phases of drilling in 2003/2004
The best intersection was obtained in hole TG4
which returned 0.60 g/t Au over 117 m including a 26 m wide section grading 0.83 g/t Au
Intersections ranging from 16 to 46 m wide with grades of 0.45 to 0.75 g/t Au were encountered in holes TG3
was drill tested to depths of between 120 and 35 m vertically
Portions of the drilled area have steep isoclinal folding accompanied by arsenopyrite mineralization
True Grit #2 also occurs within the same 2.6 km by 0.8 km gold-arsenic-antimony soil geochemical anomaly which hosts True Grit #1
Results of the drilling were interpreted to show that there are broad swathes of 0.5 g/t Au material in essentially stratabound packets with a predominantly east or southerly dip
Recommendations by Cornerstone for future work in the area included geochemical and ground/airborne geophysical programs to better define drill targets
The mineralization in the True Grit area is known to be associated with coincident gold-arsenic-antimony in soil anomalies and geophysics may help identify any structural features that may host or control mineralization
Follow-up work also needs to be done in order to source the highly anomalous concentrations of gold
The Middle Ridge North property is located in central Newfoundland and consists of 1,024 mineral claims covering approximately 256 km² (25,600 Ha)
The property is accessible by traveling south from the town of Bishop's Falls on the Bay d'Espoir Highway for 75 km where the property can be accessed by a network of forest service roads
The property encompasses 40 kilometers of the northernmost end of the Gander River Ultra Mafic Belt (GRUB) offset regional structure
which is thought to be very important in the mobilization and concentration of gold mineralization in the area
The property is 82 km south of the late 2019 New Found Gold Corp
which returned a diamond drill hole with 92.86 g/t Au over 19.0 meters near surface (See New Found Gold Corp
and lies within similar geological and structural domains
The property straddles a significant structure within the Dunnage Zone called the Gander River Ultra Mafic Belt (GRUB)
a regional scale trans-compressional thrust fault marked by a discontinuous belt of ophiolitic rocks (O'Neil and Blackwood
1989) that forms the south easternmost boundary of the Exploits Subzone
The GRUB Line is believed to be a potential conduit for deep seated fluid flow and a pathway for the transportation of gold bearing fluids
This structure is spatially associated with significant gold deposition across the belt focused in secondary and tertiary structural splays from the GRUB Line
which is hosted in the Silurian siliciclastic sediments of the Exploits Subzone
trends NE-SW and is mapped by the Newfoundland Geological Survey as being Cambrian to Ordovician submarine mafic to felsic volcanics
Local gabbroic sills are known to intrude all units in the area and may prove as an additional target model as some sills are locally associated with gold occurrences in the region (Evans
Northwest of the Middle Ridge South property is the Mount Peyton Intrusive Suite
a large Siluro-Devonian batholith and potential heat source
There are numerous fine to medium grained intrusive gabbroic bodies
related to the Mount Peyton Intrusive Suite
that intrude adjacent to the Dog Bay Line (the north westernmost extent of the Exploits Subzone)
the Company may acquire a 100-per-cent interest in the properties by issuing an aggregate of 7,000,000 common shares
A 2.0-per-cent net smelter return royalty (NSR) on license 022031M
