The Nokia 8800 Sirocco Edition Exclusive Luxcury Mobile Phone – Luxcellphone

Inspired by the forces of nature and the sculptural beauty of the body, Nokia nowadays unveiled its latest premium mobile phone, the Nokia 8800 Sirocco Edition. Sensual by nature, intuitively beautiful by design, the Sirocco Edition’s signature feature is a thumbprint, which perfectly matches the human hand. The soundtrack of the Nokia Sirocco Gold Edition was composed by the avant-garde musical pioneer Brian Eno, considered the “father of ambient music.”

The Nokia 8800 Sirocco Edition draws its study from the powerful desert-born wind that originates in the abandon when a warm, dry air masses collides with the cooler, maritime air of the Mediterrean. The striking biological shape of the Nokia 8800 Sirocco Edition references the inherent strength of the human form, a concept further implied by stainless steel polished surfaces and a scratch-resistant glass display window. Like its namesake, the Nokia 8800 Sirocco Edition consists of two variants – light and dark, the light inspired by the hot, dry air mass, the dark by the cooler, humid one.

And as it blows, the powerful sirocco makes its own one-of-a-kind sound – a composition from nature caused by two air masses colliding. With nature as his inspiration, Brian Eno, the world renowned music composer and ambient music innovator, has created a one-of-a-kind ‘sonic texture’ that is organic, calm and highly evolved. It has an otherworldly feel – comprised of notes created by instruments that Eno has selected and ‘synthesized’ himself.

The stainless steel case of the Sirocco Edition is treated in such a way as to give the device a one-of-a-kind sensual feel, which humanizes this natural masterpiece. Impeccable functionality is created through superlative craftsmanship, using techniques drawn from master watchmakers and jewellers. From the sapphire coating of the 262,000 colour display to the distinctive slide mechanism which reveals its 2 mega-pixel camera, or even its extended battery life, apiece seemingly minor detail of the Nokia 8800 Sirocco Edition, unlike Nokia 8820 is honed to perfection. The ergonomic keypad undulates like the glimmering dunes of the night desert, whilst the jewel-like navigation key shines like the brightest star in the darkest night. The Nokia 8800 Sirocco Edition truly is unique, created out of the inherent beauty and chaos of nature and distilled into a contemporary form that is graceful, sympathetic and spare.

The Nokia 8800 Sirocco Edition also features a complementary Bluetooth headset. This diminutive but distinctive wireless phone is also composed of stainless steel, and perfectly matches the nature-inspired Nokia 8800 Sapphire Arte Edition.

“Structural Study of a Gold Prospect using Core Orientation Techniques - Case Study of Bundulipu Gold Prospect, Gorontalo, Indonesia”



Abstract
In mineral exploration, collection of structural data is important in order to understand the
intricate interplay of structures and their impact on the mineralisation. Valuable
structural information can be gained from drill cores and it is important to extract all these
information. The best way to maximise the structural data from drill core is through core
orientation. Various methods are currently available for core orientation including:
Spear, Ezy Mark®, Ball Mark®, and Ace Core Tool®. The current study used simple
Spear-method utilising Chinagraph pencil. A procedure was developed in-house in
marking, preserving marks, drawing bottom of hole lines, and alpha and beta readings of
structures. Processing and analysis of alpha and beta readings is facilitated through
GeoCalc and GeoOrient softwares.
The core orientation procedure was applied in the definition drilling of the Bundulipu
Gold prospect in Avocet’s Totopo Project, Gorontalo, Indonesia. Combined with logging
of vein mineralogy, vein textures and cross-cutting relationships, Avocet geologists were
able to come-up with a feasible interpretation of the structural paragenesis and its impact
on the gold mineralisation.
The Bundulipu prospect is characterised by epithermal quartz-sulphide veins hosted by
Pliocene dacitic to rhyolithic pyroclastic rocks. It was originally interpreted that these
veins were developed within a pair of NW-SE trending sinistral faults forming a small
pull-apart basin. Mineralised quartz-sulphide veins form within this pull-apart basin.
Structural measurements in drill cores showed that mineralised veins occur as moderate
to steep, northwest dipping veins trending ENE-WSW to NE-SW. Unmineralised veins,
on the other hand, have gentle to moderate dips to the north-northeast and west. The
structural readings of these veins and their spatial distribution confirmed the regional
structural interpretation of a dominant E-W stress field and the development of veins in a
small pull-apart basin. Vein paragenesis and fault readings indicate that this stress field
has a protracted history that outlived the mineralisation event. This interpretation helped
significantly in the delineation of the vein system at Bundulipu.
