2024.05.17 14:11 ruhsognoc opinions and analysis of RIpley TV show
Hi, I just finished watching the series Ripley and I would like to share some opinions with you (there will be spoilers).
So, I really liked the series, at least until 2-3 episodes from the end. In the first half, I loved the style, the slow images, the black and white, the tension and suspense of a film noir, and the composition of the images in terms of objects and subjects. I liked that the series, for the first time or at least in rare cases, had actors speaking in English if they were American, otherwise all in Italian since it is set there, but with some devices where, for example, some Italians speak fluent English. In short, I was loving it, but by the last episode, I couldn't stand it much anymore and it saddens me because it's a series with style. I believe that some narrative problems already seen in the early episodes, as the episodes went on, grew considerably, leading to a rushed finale with many small lines opened and closed hastily and with several errors.
For example (I'm not going in order, but as they come to mind):
Marge: I just don't get her. She seems extremely in love with Dickie, but in the end, she starts flirting with Tom (completely unnecessary) and becomes stupid in her behavior. You'd expect her to have doubts (she was warned, she didn't get along with him) and to play a double game to understand who Tom was, but instead, she was genuinely infatuated with Tom and completely forgot about Dickie. I really don't understand this huge change in personality.
Dickie and Tom: Why did Dickie, if he wanted to get rid of Tom, take him alone in the middle of the sea on a boat 1500 km away? Did he want to get himself killed? You don't trust someone and you go together to an isolated place, without a reason?
The detective: He's a character I love, well-realized and wonderfully portrayed by the actor. Serious, intelligent, shrewd, and likable. Then he gets to the last episode and even he loses depth. An intelligent detective, who looks at details, who notices everything and makes appropriate conjectures and connections: he didn't want to personally verify Tom's passport, he never requested an investigation of his apartment (being a suspect) of Tom or Dickie, and on top of that, he goes all the way to Venice, sees Tom in person and doesn't question the fact that this man uses a wig, has the same voice as Tom and the same features as if he were his brother (light or no light, he shook his hand five centimeters from his face)? None of this makes sense. Moreover, he was looking for him so much, they gave him false leads, saying he was in Rome, he checked all the hotels, and when he meets him he doesn't solve the case by asking him in which hotel he had stayed after looking for him so much? Verify, don't find him, know he is lying. Instead, no. Then, why does he believe the boat story when the boat keeper had filed a report the same day? And what explanation does he give to a boat with blood and full of rocks that had been stolen?
Why does Tom buy six train tickets when he returns from Palermo?
The private detective arrives in grand style from America, already knows him, knows he is a scammer who changes identity, and when he talks to him believes everything Tom says, but what did he also get hit on the head?
In the last episode, all tension is lost, every scene that should make us jump out of our seats leads nowhere but to a dead end and a scene that is overcooked.
John Malkovich: Where did he come from? Casually in the last 20 minutes of the series, he goes to a dinner and he is also the stranger who always changes identity. What, two playmates found each other there by chance and without ever talking about it, they understand each other about what they do for a living?
In the entire series, no one ever saw a photo of Dickie? Even when they were on the table and at home?
The bank makes all that fuss from America for a false signature, then someone writes a letter and they believe it immediately.
Tom in the house in Venice introduces himself as Ripley, he has to stay there for at least six months and then disappears changing name and passport, how is that possible?
In Palermo, they recognized him after five minutes and no one remembers Dickie's face or in Venice no one recognizes him after months of newspapers talking about the case.
What is the time difference when Tom arrives in Venice (he already has a beard but it seems the day after) and when the detective receives the book?
The Camorra guy: He's there for two episodes, he's interesting, mysterious, and scary, and then he lets Tom walk all over him in three seconds and his only job in the series was to sell a boat? And the secret deliveries? And the art pieces?
Dickie's family: They come from America and for the English boy Miles, no one comes, this young man doesn't even interest his parents.
The night of the murder, Tom (I don't know how he transported a body standing up) drags it down the stairs, dirties everything, and then in four minutes cleans the entire staircase (or it was just slightly dirty after dragging a body by the head) with a single cloth. And the lady of the building believes they are mice? Mice as big as pigs? Also, excuse me, but here in Italy if someone makes all that noise on the stairs every three minutes, whether it's four in the afternoon, midnight, or three in the morning, you go there and look or call someone. He went back and forth (why didn't he take off his shoes for the noise of the heels?), elevator, doors, not even the lady of the building came out.
Moreover, the biggest of all: how long is the night of the murder and how does Tom go from the historic center of Rome to the Via Appia all those times back and forth if: the distance by car is about 30 minutes and on foot it is a good 1 hour and 30 minutes?
In short, I think this is a bit of everything that makes me frown and that, in my opinion, narratively creates a real imbalance and makes no sense. Moreover, the ending is really banal: wouldn't it have been better to catch him? Who really deserves a spin-off is the detective. Even the actor playing Ripley had no charisma, always the same expression, the same cadence in his voice, and that accent... for me, it could have been a 9 but it turned out to be a 6.

In the last episode, all tension is lost, every scene that should make us jump out of our seats leads nowhere but to a dead end and a scene that is overcooked.
John Malkovich: Where did he come from? Casually in the last 20 minutes of the series, he goes to a dinner and he is also the stranger who always changes identity. What, two playmates found each other there by chance and without ever talking about it, they understand each other about what they do for a living?
In the entire series, no one ever saw a photo of Dickie? Even when they were on the table and at home?
The bank makes all that fuss from America for a false signature, then someone writes a letter and they believe it immediately.
Tom in the house in Venice introduces himself as Ripley, he has to stay there for at least six months and then disappears changing name and passport, how is that possible?
In Palermo, they recognized him after five minutes and no one remembers Dickie's face or in Venice no one recognizes him after months of newspapers talking about the case.
What is the time difference when Tom arrives in Venice (he already has a beard but it seems the day after) and when the detective receives the book?
The Camorra guy: He's there for two episodes, he's interesting, mysterious, and scary, and then he lets Tom walk all over him in three seconds and his only job in the series was to sell a boat? And the secret deliveries? And the art pieces?
Dickie's family: They come from America and for the English boy Miles, no one comes, this young man doesn't even interest his parents.
The night of the murder, Tom (I don't know how he transported a body standing up) drags it down the stairs, dirties everything, and then in four minutes cleans the entire staircase (or it was just slightly dirty after dragging a body by the head) with a single cloth. And the lady of the building believes they are mice? Mice as big as pigs? Also, excuse me, but here in Italy if someone makes all that noise on the stairs every three minutes, whether it's four in the afternoon, midnight, or three in the morning, you go there and look or call someone. He went back and forth (why didn't he take off his shoes for the noise of the heels?), elevator, doors, not even the lady of the building came out.
Moreover, the biggest of all: how long is the night of the murder and how does Tom go from the historic center of Rome to the Via Appia all those times back and forth if: the distance by car is about 30 minutes and on foot it is a good 1 hour and 30 minutes?
In short, I think this is a bit of everything that makes me frown and that, in my opinion, narratively creates a real imbalance and makes no sense. Moreover, the ending is really banal: wouldn't it have been better to catch him? Who really deserves a spin-off is the detective. Even the actor playing Ripley had no charisma, always the same expression, the same cadence in his voice, and that accent... for me, it could have been a 9 but it turned out to be a 6.

So, I really liked the series, at least until 2-3 episodes from the end. In the first half, I loved the style, the slow images, the black and white, the tension and suspense of a film noir, and the composition of the images in terms of objects and subjects. I liked that the series, for the first time or at least in rare cases, had actors speaking in English if they were American, otherwise all in Italian since it is set there, but with some devices where, for example, some Italians speak fluent English. In short, I was loving it, but by the last episode, I couldn't stand it much anymore and it saddens me because it's a series with style. I believe that some narrative problems already seen in the early episodes, as the episodes went on, grew considerably, leading to a rushed finale with many small lines opened and closed hastily and with several errors.
For example (I'm not going in order, but as they come to mind):
Marge: I just don't get her. She seems extremely in love with Dickie, but in the end, she starts flirting with Tom (completely unnecessary) and becomes stupid in her behavior. You'd expect her to have doubts (she was warned, she didn't get along with him) and to play a double game to understand who Tom was, but instead, she was genuinely infatuated with Tom and completely forgot about Dickie. I really don't understand this huge change in personality.
Dickie and Tom: Why did Dickie, if he wanted to get rid of Tom, take him alone in the middle of the sea on a boat 1500 km away? Did he want to get himself killed? You don't trust someone and you go together to an isolated place, without a reason?
The detective: He's a character I love, well-realized and wonderfully portrayed by the actor. Serious, intelligent, shrewd, and likable. Then he gets to the last episode and even he loses depth. An intelligent detective, who looks at details, who notices everything and makes appropriate conjectures and connections: he didn't want to personally verify Tom's passport, he never requested an investigation of his apartment (being a suspect) of Tom or Dickie, and on top of that, he goes all the way to Venice, sees Tom in person and doesn't question the fact that this man uses a wig, has the same voice as Tom and the same features as if he were his brother (light or no light, he shook his hand five centimeters from his face)? None of this makes sense. Moreover, he was looking for him so much, they gave him false leads, saying he was in Rome, he checked all the hotels, and when he meets him he doesn't solve the case by asking him in which hotel he had stayed after looking for him so much? Verify, don't find him, know he is lying. Instead, no. Then, why does he believe the boat story when the boat keeper had filed a report the same day? And what explanation does he give to a boat with blood and full of rocks that had been stolen?
Why does Tom buy six train tickets when he returns from Palermo?
The private detective arrives in grand style from America, already knows him, knows he is a scammer who changes identity, and when he talks to him believes everything Tom says, but what did he also get hit on the head?

2024.05.17 14:10 Dholakpuria Never Buy Insurance from HDFC ERGO - Here's My Experience
I want to share my frustrating experience with HDFC ERGO insurance to warn others about their poor service.
I had a bike claim for ₹5100, but when the claim was processed, I saw that the approved amount was only ₹3760. I immediately called the surveyor, who informed me that GST is not paid. I escalated this to their consumer support and grievances department. They told me they couldn't pay the GST because the bill was not in HDFC's name.
Now here is the real story:
When I went to the service center for the claim, their surveyor told me to give all documents to the service center, and he would handle it. He never mentioned that the bill should be in HDFC's name.
I called the claim officer, Mr. Santosh, and interestingly, he said they couldn't pay because the GST input was not in their name. I told him that no one informed me of this, not even the surveyor, and that it was not mentioned anywhere in the terms and conditions of the policy. He replied that not everything is mentioned in the policy and that I need to read the thick books of the Motor Vehicle Act to get this knowledge. Then, he blocked me.
I went back to the service center, and they said the surveyor told them to bill it in the consumer's name. They showed me the chat and provided me with a screenshot of the conversation. The surveyor clearly instructed them to bill it in the consumer's name. I called the surveyor while standing with the showroom guy, and the surveyor told me that since it was not cashless, the bill should be in the consumer's name and GST would not be paid. I argued that he should have instructed them to do B2B billing, but he insisted that without cashless, it should be in my name.
I have now escalated this to their grievances department. I have all the proofs and call recordings. If I do not get a satisfactory reply, I will file this with the Consumer Grievances Officer (CGO) and, after that, with the Insurance Ombudsman.
Please suggest what can be done, and I strongly advise against going with their policy

2024.05.17 14:09 CautiousAd7942 PPF changing Trueno
 | Hi all(: first of all I love my car! Been such a blast driving it! I wanted to show off some changes made to my car just by adding PPF. I went for the track package on protection so I have the full front end done, side rocker panels, and the back quarter panel from mud splash. I went to a very good shop here in VA and am so glad I did. The amount of care they used was worth every penny. Now talking to them before we figured out a deal they noticed something immediately on these 2024 GR86 Trueno editions. The vinal they use for the decals is an older type of grade overall that isn't as good quality. It also is a hybrid of mat and gloss that they said they haven't seen in a long time. Why would Toyota use a sub par product when other options are out there? Did they just like the older look, who is to say. If you have seen the hood in person you will understand that it is an off mat texture that you weren't expecting. It's not bad but not good? Unfinished is my take on it. Here is a side by side of before and after with having the PPF installed. As you can see, the PPF has completely changed the mat vinal to a gloss look. Completely different feel after changing it to gloss. Matches the mirrors and door handles now. Now with this PPF I had two options. 1. Use the mat PPF and turn the whole hood mat so the decal doesn't change, but lose the gloss of the paint on the hood. Or 2. Go with the gloss PPF and make the black turn gloss and keep the white shiny. I went with the gloss. I am super happy with how it turned out and now it pops even more! Wanted to show this off as a word of warning before having PPF done. I did not do the doors yet since the decal is both mat and gloss for the hidden Trueno edition on the black stripe. Not sure what I am going to do yet to keep that. Either option for PPF will remove the lettering all together. Not the end of the world if that part of the limited edition is gone but be warned you will lose it if you PPF the door decal. I might try and find some white lettering in the style and shape then overlay it on the existing decal before I PPF the door. Idk yet. Thanks for your time, I know how this was a long one!(: submitted by CautiousAd7942 to GR86 [link] [comments] |

2024.05.17 14:05 vjmde Developer Burnout: How to Deal With It?
 | https://preview.redd.it/pv198vyw8z0d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=a08e7f542a8f831876c9e6583df8eaa22690caac submitted by vjmde to developernation [link] [comments] by Andre Oentoro If a developer claimed they’ve never had a brush with burnout, it’s either they’re superhuman or they lied. But let’s be real. It’s most likely the latter. The dynamic world of coding chaos is never easy, especially with those impossible deadlines, poor project timeline estimates, chaotic app development plans, and miss-release schedules. A continuous case like this pushes developers to work beyond what is physically and mentally sustainable. That’s where the developer burnout comes in. Endless exhaustion, no productivity, constant negativism– you might think it’s just one of those days that you got super lazy. But turns out it lasts longer than expected. Recent Gallup surveys reveal most workers (about 76%) experience burnout. And if you’re one of them, there are some practices that can help you bring the spark back and deal with it. We’ll also include statistics from the State of Developer Wellness Report 2024 to support our points and provide additional insights into effective strategies for overcoming burnout. How Do You Know You Have a Developer Burnout?Do you know that over half (54%) of developers experience occasional burnout?It may start when you notice a decline in your enthusiasm for coding, a constant feeling of exhaustion even after a long, good night’s sleep, or a growing sense of cynicism towards your work and projects. In fact, over 23% of developers feel like they don’t even have a sense of purpose. Each new task feels like a huge chore, and they find it increasingly difficult to summon the motivation to tackle it. But how do you know that it’s not just you being lazy? Burnout tends to persist over time. It affects your performance consistently across various tasks and projects. It can manifest physically, such as headaches, muscle tension, or even illness due to chronic stress. However, you might still enjoy coding. But over time, you find yourself always struggling to muster the energy to engage in it. The work feels meaningless, and every day starts to feel the same. Meanwhile, feeling lazy might be more sporadic and not necessarily tied to specific circumstances. When you feel lazy, you might experience a temporary lack of motivation or energy, often seeking immediate gratification or avoiding tasks altogether, but without the underlying sense of constant emotional exhaustion. Burnout typically leads to a decline in the quality of your work, as well as increased errors and difficulty concentrating. If you notice a significant drop in your performance despite your best efforts, it could be a sign of burnout rather than laziness. How to Deal With Developer Burnout?The best way is always to seek professional help. But, if you’re looking for immediate strategies to cope with developer burnout, these tips might be helpful to make it less painful and make everything more manageable.Review and find the triggerTake some time to reflect on your recent experiences at work and how they have impacted your well-being. Consider moments when you felt particularly stressed, overwhelmed, or demotivated.The report shows that as many as 76.5% of surveyed developers make time to check on their health and well-being regularly. You can start by looking for patterns or recurring themes in your experiences. Are there specific tasks, projects, or situations that consistently trigger feelings of burnout? Am I feeling overwhelmed or drained? Am I giving myself enough time for self-care? Don’t forget the internal factors. Are there any personal habits or thought patterns that might be contributing to your burnout? For example, perfectionism, over-commitment, or difficulty setting boundaries. When you know the trigger, it will be much easier to gain a better understanding of the factors contributing to your stress and exhaustion. Go to your safe placeEveryone has their own safe place. Some prefer to do their hobbies, while others like to talk it out to their closest friends or families.Your safe place is a space or activity where you feel calm, relaxed, and free from stress. It’s a place where you can recharge and rejuvenate your mind and body. Once you’ve identified your safe place or activity, prioritize making time for it regularly, especially when you’re feeling overwhelmed or burnt out. Set boundaries to protect this time and ensure that you have dedicated opportunities to recharge and take care of yourself. Prioritize work-life balanceDeveloper burnout often starts when you neglect your personal needs and well-being in favor of work demands. This imbalance can lead to chronic stress, exhaustion, and feelings of disillusionment with work.Fortunately, more and more tech companies are aware of the importance of this work-life balance and are implementing initiatives and policies to support their employees’ well-being. The same report says that at least 77% of companies accommodate developers’ timeout requests. It’s easier for developers to take the necessary breaks and recharge. Establish clear boundaries between work and personal life to prevent one from encroaching on the other. Define your specific work hours and commit to unplugging from work-related tasks during personal time. Understand which tasks and activities are most important to you and allocate your time and energy accordingly. Communicate these boundaries to colleagues and supervisors to ensure they are respected. Learn to say “no”Some developers struggle with people-pleasing tendencies, feeling obligated to say “yes” to every request or task that comes their way. This behavior can stem from a desire to be liked, a fear of disappointing others, or a belief that saying “no” is selfish or unprofessional. If you say yes to everything you’ve been asked for, then get ready to feel overworked— just like one-third of other developers.Remember, you’re a developer, not a superhero. You have limits and boundaries that need to be respected, both by yourself and by others. Constantly saying “yes” to everything can lead to burnout and undermine your ability to perform at your best. Learning to say “no” is not about being selfish or uncooperative. It means filtering which tasks you really have to do and which ones are not even your responsibilities. All of this is for the sake of your well-being and effectiveness. Work smarter, not harderWriting good code takes time and a lot of thinking. Contrary to popular stereotypes, effective developers are not the ones who live and breathe code, stay awake all night to resolve bugs, and memorize their code extensively.An effective developer works smartly. They focus on solving the right problems in the right way. So, working harder doesn’t always equate to working smarter. Use tools that can streamline the whole process and eliminate those mundane, repetitive tasks. For example, using version control systems like Git allows developers to manage code changes efficiently, collaborate seamlessly with team members, and track project history effectively. Integrated development environments (IDEs) such as Visual Studio Code or IntelliJ IDEA offer features like code completion, syntax highlighting, and debugging tools that improve productivity and accuracy. Wrapping UpDeveloper burnout is real. All those lines of code mean nothing if the developers behind them are exhausted, demotivated, and struggling to maintain their passion for their work.Like the small beetles of life, the small symptoms of burnout can continually become stronger and stronger if we don’t interrupt them. By catching the mild feelings, we give ourselves the time for preventive action.

2024.05.17 14:02 Vaya4195 How do I cancel an interview for I-485 and I-130
So yesterday I received notifications on both my I-130 and I-485 to say that an interview has been scheduled. However, we divorced and I left the country on 15 February (the day after the hearing). I have sent them a withdrawal notice and the divorce papers in March that are showing as delivered I also uploaded said documentation and a withdrawal notice to my online account. I’m in UK, my ex husband is in US and won’t do nothing to help and I also don’t want to waste USCIS time, Emma is about as helpful as my ex husband is. How do I cancel this appointment?

2024.05.17 14:02 FelicitySmoak_ Tuesday, May 17, 2005 - People v. Jackson Day 54
 | Trial Day 54 submitted by FelicitySmoak_ to WhereWasMJToday [link] [comments] Michael goes to court with Katherine & Randy. Irene Lavern Peters, a social worker for the Department of children and Family Services, testified concerning an interview of Mr. Jacksons teen-age accuser and his family. She and two other social workers interviewed the family on 2/20/03 Janet Arvizo requested that the interview be held at Neverland, however, she was informed that Peters wanted to see where they lived. As a result, the interview was held at the home of Janet's boyfriend. A Jackson bodyguard and several other people were present at the apartment where the interviews took place, but Peters conceded that they all left before the interview began. The interview, which took place one day after the taping of the rebuttal video, began with Janet playing a video tape of Mr. Jackson interacting with her sons. "She denied all allegations of general neglect," Peters said. "I asked her about the relationship with Michael Jackson. She went on to say he was like a father to her children and she felt he was responsible for helping (the boy) to survive his cancer, for his cancer to go into remission."Despite allegations by the prosecution that the family was coerced, Peters testified that the children "all seemed to be in agreement with their mom, adding that the family seemed happy and well-adjusted" and "they all seemed spontaneous in their comments".Gavin & his siblings, who were interviewed separately, described Mr. Jackson as a father figure. When asked if he had been touched inappropriately by Michael, Gavin answered no & seemed to be quite upset by the question. He then told her about how his schoolmates had been taunting him because he was seen holding hands with Mr. Jackson in the Bashir documentary, Living with Michael Jackson. During the interview Janet Arvizo expressed that she was not pleased with Bashir filming her children without her consent. Peters testified that the mother told her that "Michael wanted to send them to Brazil and she didn't want to go."Peters said the mother referred to Brazil as "that dump." A travel agent has testified that she arranged a 3/1/03, flight but the trip was abruptly canceled. Peters told the jury that the family never complained about being held against their will. Even after bumping into the family two months after the interview at a hamburger stand, they all seemed fine. Simone Jackson, a 16 year old cousin of Mr. Jackson, testified that as she sat in the corner of the large Neverland Ranch kitchen area playing a video game, Gavin & his brother, Starr, entered and took a bottle of wine. "They didn't see me, I was sitting off to the side," Simone Jackson said, speaking softly from the witness stand. "They grabbed it and Starr got a wine glass and Gavin just took the bottle."When the boys then saw her, she said "I told them they weren't supposed to do that, and they told me not to say anything."Judge Rodney Melville refused to reverse a decision he made to limit the testimony of Angel Vivanco, a former chef's assistant at Neverland who, the defense claims, developed a relationship with the accuser's sister.

2024.05.17 14:01 tesrepurwash121810 Belgium's most polluting companies receive €4.4 billion per year in public funding
 | Belgium’s most polluting companies receive €4.4 billion in public funding annually, according to Greenpeace Belgium’s "Paid to Pollute" report released on Friday. submitted by tesrepurwash121810 to belgium [link] [comments] The environmental organisation identified that these companies benefit from a mix of direct and indirect public funding mechanisms. These range from the European Union’s Emissions Trading System (ETS) and compensations for indirect emissions costs, to levies on gas and electricity and contributions for green electricity. Figures from the NGO (non-government organisation) reveal that these mechanisms result in subsidies of up to €4.4 billion each year for the country’s most polluting companies. Prominent among these firms are steel manufacturer Arcelor-Mittal, chemical company Ineos, oil and energy company Total Energies, chemical company BASF, building materials company Holcim, and mining company Lhoist, according to the report. "The political leaders talk about drastic reductions in public finances in the coming years and hide behind the feasibility and financeability argument when it comes to climate measures or protecting nature," said Nadia Cornejo, spokesperson for Greenpeace Belgium. "Our report shows these are excuses for continuing lenient policies towards industries and their hunger for fossil fuels," she added. In its report, Greenpeace called for Belgium's policy makers to bring an end to unconditional subsidies for polluting companies. "Only companies with real climate plans should be eligible for subsidies, in a limited way and only if the support leads to actual outcomes," in terms of their CO2 emissions reduction, the NGO stressed. |

2024.05.17 14:00 Marc_Staprouvette Help with TR1/AP1 transfer of home ownership
First off, I'm in England. I've been dealing with my late Grandad's estate after he passed away a few months ago. I now have a Letter of Administration and am going about closing bank accounts etc. and I'm looking to sell his house. I spoke to someone at the Land Registry and they sent me TR1 and AP1 forms, but I'm a bit stuck as to how to fill them in.
My Grandad owned 50% of the house, and his partner owned 50%, she passed away several years ago, so her son inherited her share and is a registered owner on the Title Register. He can't remember what forms he has to fill in as it was over 20 years ago! We've agreed that we want to sell the house and split the sale 50-50.
On the TR1 - who do I put down as the TransferoTransferee? Am I the transferor as I'm acting on my late Grandad's behalf? Do I need to include my Grandad's partner's son as both a Transferor and Transferee as well? What's the Consideration? Is it a full or limited title guarantee? Do we count as joint tenants although neither of us live there?
As for the AP1 - I have no idea where to start!

(TSXV: SPC) (" SPC Nickel " or the " Company ") is pleased to announce an upsize of its previously announced non-brokered private placement (the " Offering ") of common share units (" Common Share Units ") and flow‑through common shares (" FT Shares "). The Company has increased the aggregate gross proceeds of the Offering from $1,500,000 to $2,015,000 $0.06 to $0.055 per FT Share. https://preview.redd.it/494kmjbh7z0d1.jpg?width=173&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=662ac4bbb0442f4428756d5ad0cf8941311de5d3 The Company anticipates issuing 30,740,000 Common Share Units and 8,681,818 FT Shares pursuant to the Offering. Each Common Share Unit shall consist of one common share and one half of a purchase warrant of the Company (each whole warrant a " Warrant" ) to acquire one common share at an exercise price of $0.07 per share exercisable for a period of 18 months from the Closing Date. The Company may pay to eligible finders assisting in the Offering (i) a cash commission equal to 6% of the gross proceeds raised by such finders; and (ii) such number of compensation warrants (" Compensation Warrants ") as is equal to 6% of the total number of Common Share Units and/or FT Shares sold by such finders. Each Compensation Warrant shall be exercisable to acquire one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.07 per Common Share for a period of 18 months following the date of issuance.
