A deposit of copper bearing ore 14km southeast of Duchess at Trekelano was exploited by the Hampden Co for use at its Kuridala smelter. The ore body was one of the richer ones in the Cloncurry area, averaging around 13% copper and lesser amount of silver and gold. Trekelano ore was particularly valuable as a smelting aid.
The deposit was first worked in about 1906 in a small way, mostly for development work, and gradually increased its output of economical volumes by 1915. In time, the mine was equipped with a semi-marine type Babcock & Wilcox boiler, a Walker geared winding engine, Fraser & Chambers compressor, electric light from a 40hp Hornsby gas engine and wood producer, a picking plant, and ore bins. Narrow gauge tramways were used to move the ore to the dumps to the loading state and to fart firewood to the boiler house. Associated facilities were a change room, an engine room, a boiler shed, magazines, offices, stores, and staff quarters. At its peak, the mine employed 60 men. A school and post office were provided from 1918 and these remained viable until 1928.
When the railway was extended from Malbon to Duchess, the company began sending Trekelano ore to Duchess using a traction engine and wagons. This arrangement was not satisfactory in the long term so as soon as the railway was extended from Duchess to Dajarra, the company immediately took steps to lay a connecting tramway. The link was 12.3km in length.
The line was funded and built by the company under the Tramways Act. Engineering specifications were based on QR standards but were more economical in regard to the road bed and ballasting. The company sourced the rails and sleepers from QR and secured them on time payment based on a rebate from a premium placed on every ton carried. The company also paid the line maintenance fees.
Construction commenced on the 10th of September 1917 some 7.5km from Duchess at 553 miles and 21 chains, later known as Juenburra. Accommodation comprised a loop siding on the left from which was laid the branch proper which consisted of a curve to the southeast where another loop was placed on the right. From here the line continued southeast to the mine, which was 130 rail kilometres from Cloncurry.
A passenger service was offered but it was minimally supported because the Trekelano community had a road coach service to Duchess station. The coach departed Duchess at 7am on Monday and Friday for a same day return. Passenger rail journeys were around 200 per year to 1921 and then tailed off to virtually nothing, ceasing altogether soon after.
From 1941 the train day became a Monday and was worked by the Cloncurry-Dajarra-Cloncurry weekly mixed running on a Sunday-Monday overnight rest schedule. Ore loadings had dropped by half at this time to around 3500 tons due to shortages of labour and machinery spare parts. One train a week sufficed. Loadings diminished even further to less then 2000 tons by 1943. The mine closed that year and the train service ceased at this time. A small community remained until the end, and this included several school aged children who were driven to Duchess each day for their education.
The mine owners retired to the coast and after the war put the mine and tramway on the market. There were no takers for the assets as a going concern so the plant was sold for scrap. The rails were purchased by the North Eton Sugar Mill and were removed by 1947. The telephone pole line was dismantled at the same time. The sleepers had no value and were left in situ. The official closure of the tramway is the 14th of May 1947.
The original Trekelano mine produced 220 000 tons of ore over its lifetime to yield 20 000 tons of copper and 3000 oz of gold. In the 1990s the site was gone over by the drivers of Mineral Commodities NL to locate and estimated 400 000 tonnes of 2.2% copper and 0.6 grams/tonne of gold. The deposit was reopened in 2005 by Osborne Mines and worked as a massive pit, this development swallowing the remains of the original mine and tramway. The Trekelano ore was carted to a concentrating plant at Mount Osborne, south of Selwyn, and the treated ore despatched by rail through to Phosphate Hill.
The mine is no longer in use.

From time to time, I like to exploit my food, in addition to eating it. I like the shapes and textures of this garlic and decided to emphasize those qualities using side lighting.
Lighting stuff: I placed the garlic on a piece of black perspex, and then lit it from the side with a YN560-III in a 24 inch soft box at camera right. Fill light came from a small hand held mirror at camera left. The flash, in manual mode, was triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N. I converted the image to black and white using Nik Software's Silver Efex Pro 2.
Other black and white images that I've attempted can be seen in my Black And White Album.

Filling-up steam locomotive 52 8060-7 of the Museumrailway S.T.A.R. with water at the water tower from station Stadskanaal in the Netherlands.
Since 1995 the Museumrailway S.T.A.R. (Stichting Stadskanaal Rail) exploits the railwayline between Veendam, Stadskanaal en Musselkanaal with historical steamtrains. The 26 km long track follows the border between the provinces of Groningen and Drenthe in the northeast of the Netherlands.
The Deutsche Reichsbahn's Class 52 was a German steam locomotive built in large numbers during the Second World War. With over 7,000 locomotives, built across Europe, it was the most produced type of the so-called Kriegslokomotiven or Kriegsloks (war locomotives). 6,000+ locomotives passed into Russian ownership after the Second World War. Other operators of the type included Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, Norway and Turkey. The Deutsche Reichsbahn (DRB) in East Germany (DDR) had 200 machines, including 52 8060-7, reconstructed to the new DRB Class 52.80.
Stoomlocomotief 52 8060-7 van museumspoorlijn S.T.A.R. wordt gevuld met water bij de watertoren van station Stadskanaal.
Museumspoorlijn S.T.A.R. (Stichting Stadskanaal Rail) rijdt sinds 1994 met historische stoomtreinen en dieseltreinen tussen Veendam, Stadskanaal en Musselkanaal. De 26 km lange spoorlijn loopt langs de provinciegrens tussen Groningen en Drenthe.
Stoomlocomotief 52 8060-7 uit 1943 is een van de ruim 7.000 locomotieven uit de Deutsche Reichsbahn's Class 52 die tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog zijn gebouwd om oorlogsmaterieel te verplaatsen. Na de Tweede Wereldoorlog zijn ruim 6.000 locs door Rusland als oorlogsbuit in gebruik genomen.
De overige 1.000 locomotieven zijn door Polen, Roemenië, Bulgarije, Noorwegen, Turkije, en de DDR in gebruik genomen.
De 52 8060-7 op de foto is in van de circa 200 locomotieven uit de DDR die daar jarenlang in de DRB Class 52.80 hebben gereden.

Marine reserves constitute a specific measure that contributes to achieving a sustained exploitation of resources of fishing interest, establishing specific protection measures in delimited areas of traditional fishing grounds.
The effect of a marine reserve is manifested by a significant recovery of the fishing grounds in which it is inserted due to the dispersion of the species whose reproduction has been protected in it.
The seabed of the Isla Hormigas Cabo de Palos Marine Reserve is in incredible health, in this area artisanal fishing coexists with the recreational activity of recreational diving, both are compatible and the result is that divers can enjoy the best diving in the Mediterranean and one of the best in the world and fishermen benefit from a very abundant fishing ground.
There are 12 Marine Reserves in Spain and there should be more. In this photo we can see two of the most characteristic specimens of the area, the Goldblotch grouper and the Dusky grouper.

Exploitation Les Grandes Marges ; Producteur Récoltant huile d'olive, lavande et amandes à Valensole, en Provence.
This morning's sunrise .. it sure was good!
I think I will be exploiting this location a bit more often in the next few days ..
Thanks for taking the time to view this and leave your feedback , much appreciated..
A Montsoreau, entre Saumur et Chinon, dans le Val de Loire, le Saut aux Loups est un site troglo à flanc de coteau dominant la Loire. Occupé depuis la nuit des temps par l’homme, les loups aussi y élurent domicile...
Du moyen-âge à la fin de XIX siècle une mine d’extraction du tuffeau y fut exploitée intensivement pour l’édification des châteaux et églises de la région.
Des kilomètres de galeries furent ainsi creusés tandis que plusieurs habitations troglodytiques étaient bâties.
Elles sont aujourd’hui préservées dans leur état d’origine et servent de cadre à notre restaurant troglodyte.
C’est à la fin du XIX siècle, l’exploitation du tuffeau ayant cessé, que ces vastes galeries ont été converties en cave à champignons ou champignonnière.
Les visiteurs peuvent découvrir les différentes étapes de la culture des champignons dans ce site hors du commun.
In Montsoreau, between Saumur and Chinon, in the Loire Valley, the Jumping Wolves is a troglodyte site on the hillside overlooking the Loire. Busy since time immemorial by the man, the wolves also took up residence there ...
From the Middle Ages to the end of the 19th century, a tufa extraction mine was exploited intensively for the construction of the castles and churches of the region.
Miles of galleries were dug while several troglodyte dwellings were built.
They are now preserved in their original state and serve as a frame for our troglodyte restaurant.
At the end of the 19th century, the exploitation of the tuffeau having ceased, these vast galleries were converted into a mushroom or mushroom cellar.
Visitors can discover the different stages of mushroom cultivation in this extraordinary site.
I have come back from the vets. And although she has been seen and has come antibiotics - I am not happy.
First of all, Sid, the girl I usually have was on holiday so I had the other small animal vet. And to start with, he didn't listen to me at all. He cut me off while I was trying to explain what she was like when I found her to talk about how I should not give her an operation. I NEVER mentioned an operation. That was in her notes when I thought she had pyometra. I would never even consider sending her in for an operation that would be purely exploitative while she was this sick!
Second, he was SO ROUGH with her. He went on and on about how depressed and delicate she looks while just grabbing her round her middle and plonking her out on the table. He didn't even try to scoop her up gently. And while I asked about her being dehydrated he started pulling her skin all over to show me how loose it was. When he would quite easily and more gently held her scruff. When he petter her, it was so hard she collapsed on the floor and he put her back in to harshly that she fell over.
Next was him talking about her to me as if she was just on her way out. It was only when she went for a pee while she in in there that he even payed attention to what I was saying and thought that "maybe I was right" about her UTI coming back. (earlier today I noticed that the staining and smell was not diarrhoea but her concealed very dark urine again). IF she has not gone there and then, he would not have listened to me. He kept on brushing off my attempts to explain her urine was offensive and more concentrated by telling me "she is a desert animal". But as it was, she squealed in pain and passed her urine and I have to pull out her bedding and show him what happened.
He agreed to put her back on the ceporax but fining none in there he tried to bully me into taking another unlicensed drug for her. And I was already iffy about trying the ceporax the first time. He huffed when I asked to read the ingredients and when I asked about antibiotic indicuced enteritis he remarked "well how did you learn about that". As if I am stupid. it hapens in humans all the time and I work as a nurse. Sid was originally going to post me the ceporax if there was none in an it was only when I pushed for the ceporax as I know she is okay on that that he agreed to post some out to me. He gave her a small injection while we where there to tide her over.
I also was worried about the clicking noised in her chest and he just looked in and said she was breathing fine. Didn't even listen to her and would not indulge me for a few seconds.
He did give me some metacam as well for her pain. Told me to give it to her when we got home then changed his mind and just snatched her off me, in his rough way, to give it to her then. Not even asking me permission first. And THAT annoyed me. She was already stressed out from the injection and the man handling. I wanted her to rest a bit first. He made me feel like a hysterical mother who did not know any better.
But by far the worst thing was when he was tlaking about how it might not be any good as it could be her time. Which I KNOW, but he actually used the phrase "she has already tried to pop her cloggs already". He may have thought he was being funny. but I found this so insensitive and rude I burst into tears once I got home.
At least her have antiboitics and painkillers to try her on. I am well aware they may do no good but especially seeing her urine again I want to try. As I think so many things have happened too close together. it seems too much of a coincidance to not be related. I am more inclined to believe it is the same thing instead of many different ones.
Anyway, she seems brighter today. She has been walking on me and eaten something so I guess we will see how it goes. Thank you all so much for your help and if anyone has any more advice I would be happy to hear it.
Last one from this particular evening, I think. Thanks again, Kris, for letting us exploit you, your house mates and Graham's dog.

Together we’re building a new identity ecosystem, a globally recognized universal biometric ID blockchain system. It will be a biometric smartchip ID that will be tracked worldwide by AI to solve the 17 sustainable development goals.
The Mark of the Beast is a Certification Mark of authentication (the new global standard), affirming that all who are involved with this new global biometric digital ID blockchain are compliant with the core principles of the 17 Sustainable Development goals, which have been adopted by all the United Nations Member States. No one will be able to buy or sell or do anything in society without this Certification Mark. This Mark will now become mandatory for all. Without it, you will be arrested.
Through the means of a microchip implant we will be able to eradicate human trafficking (we cause the crisis, and then we offer you the solution). Every kind of supposed virtuous cause will be exploited to promote the 666 Beastchip. Climate change…take the smartchip…blah, blah, blah. Refugees…take the smartchip…blah, blah, blah. Human rights…take the smartchip…blah, blah, blah. Fight poverty…take the smartchip…blah, blah, blah. For the sake of equality, inclusiveness, and sustainability…take the smartchip…blah, blah, blah.

En raison de l’exploitation et du renforcement des berges par l’homme, les aires de reproduction naturelles de l’hirondelle de rivage disparaissent. Heureusement ce petit oiseau s’adapte facilement et accepte maintenant de nicher dans les carrières et les sablières.

Below are 11 pages of the 50 that make up the document titled "National Register of Historic Places - Inventory Form" dated October 27, 1971, for what was then called Mud Bight Village, the former name for what is known today as Totem Bight State Historical Park in Ketchikan, Alaska.
They're worth reading for an overall description of the site as written by historic-preservation professionals. Where else would one find a Northwest Coast clan house described as "almost Romanesque"?
Cattle egrets exploit drier and open habitats more than other heron species. They often accompany cattle or other large mammals, catching insect and small vertebrate prey disturbed by these animals.
This species maintains a special relationship with cattle, which extends to other large grazing mammals; wider human farming is believed to be a major cause of their suddenly expanded range.

Un siècle après sa découverte, la villa des Mystères est toujours la plus grande, la mieux conservée et la plus fascinante des peintures antiques. Cette demeure reconvertie en exploitation agricole tire notamment son nom d’une fresque de 17 m de long et 3,30 m de haut, située dans une petite salle de 7,10 m de long x 4,93 m de large, datant de 70 avant notre ère. Elle se déroule sur les quatre murs du triclinium (n'en sont ici visibles que trois, ceux du nord à gauche, de l'est au centre et du sud à droite), la salle à manger de la maison, et divisés en trois parties : la première imitant le marbre peint, puis la frise de grands panneaux rouge pompéien (ponctuée de pilastres plus sombres) et au-dessus en couronnement une frise de motifs géométriques surmontée d’une imitation de marbres de couleur. La frise dépeint 29 personnages, de tailles différentes, figurés un peu plus petit que nature. Afin de séparer la dizaine de scènes les unes des autres, la frise est régie par une fonction de transition superposant les personnages pour ensuite les orienter dans des directions opposées, marquant ainsi le passage d’une scène à l’autre. Le couple divin au centre de la paroi du fond représente le point de convergence des deux frises parallèles qui courent le long des quatre murs depuis la porte principale.
Concurremment, le peintre a joué sur les correspondances sémantiques de groupes qui se font face d'un mur
à l'autre, en se servant habilement de la configuration de la pièce. Le panneau du mur est devait autrefois fortement impressionner celles et ceux qui pénétraient sans la pièce, mais c'est malheureusement aujourd'hui le plus endommagé de la dizaine de scènes représentées des quatre murs, où se trouve justement celle du Couple divin. Si les spécialistes divergent sur le sens à donner à cette fresque, leurs interprétations pointent cependant des éléments communs, une cérémonie de passage initiatique où le thème du mariage est également récurent, une composition à composante onirique, mais étrangère au temps d'aujourd’hui et difficile dès lors à comprendre. La pièce du triclinium ou salle à manger était dévolue à un culte dionysiaque dans le cadre privé, où figure la Domina (maîtresse de maison) sur laquelle la fresque semble se focaliser avec un enchaînement de représentations la mettant en scène.
Le dionysisme mis en scène dans cette fresque, comme sur bien d'autres documents pompéiens contemporains ou postérieurs de quelques années, est celui d'un univers associant un idéal mythique à la réalité humaine, quotidienne et cultuelle, établissant un lien harmonieux dans la vie d'une matrone entre ses valeurs aristocratiques de vertu et de culture et ses croyances en une religion dionysiaque pratiquée et vécue (cf. Charlotte Sammarcelli et Martijn Stoll : La fresque de la villa des mystères : le culte dionysiaque dans le domaine privé, 2018 ; Stéphanie Wyler : Actualité de la fresque de la Villa des Mystères, 2002 ; Gilles Sauron : La grande fresque de la villa des Mystères à Pompéi, mémoires d'une dévote de Dionysos, 2000 ; Jean-Marie Pailler ; Mystères dissipés ou mystères dévoilés ?, 2000 ; Paul Veyne, François Lissarrague et Françoise Frontisi-Ducroux : Les mystères du gynécée, 1998 ; merci veroeddy.be pour la photo).

Castle Howard is a stately home in Henderskelfe, North Yorkshire, 15 miles (24 km) north east of York. A private residence, it has been the home of the Carlisle branch of the Howard family for more than 300 years. There are extensive and diverse gardens, including a large formal garden on the south side of the house. The house is prominently situated on a ridge, and this was exploited in the development of an English landscape park, which adjoins and opens out from the formal garden.
The mausoleum was designed by Nicholas Hawksmoor between 1726 and 1729, its design inspired by the Tomb of Caecilia Metella and the alleged Tomb of Lars Porsena. It was constructed by William Etty from 1729 to 1742, and bastion walls were added by Daniel Garrett. The interior carvings were undertaken by Charles Mitley. The building was commissioned by Charles Howard, 3rd Earl of Carlisle, to commemorate his family's history. Horace Walpole was highly impressed, and described it as a building which "would tempt one to be buried alive". It was grade I listed in 1954.
The exploits of Quick & Flupke, gamins de Bruxelles.
90 years ago, in 1930 (a year after Tintin), Hergé invented two ketjes Bruxellois, Quick & Flupke.
Though created by the same clear line that also made Tintin,
their adventures are more mischievous and less international.
They're mostly situated on the streets of the old Marolles neighbourhood
and somehow include outwitting police officer 15
or any other form of authority.

C’est l’arrivée de Mathieu Van Roggen, venu de Hollande, qui a dynamisé vers 1880 les CARRIÈRES DE SPRIMONT. Il les a rendues pleinement performantes par la rationalisation de l’exploitation et la modernisation de l’outil. La grande centrale électrique de 1904, devenue “Musée de la pierre”, en est le remarquable témoin. Par la suite, le groupe Merbes-Sprimont gère les propriétés jusqu’à la reprise en 1984 par la famille Brancaleoni.
Plusieurs sites sont actuellement en exploitation. La réputation de qualité de ces gisements est depuis longtemps établie et
les références de prestige en sont fort nombreuses, depuis la Grand’ Poste de Liège et le pont de Fragnée vers 1900, jusqu’au
nouveau pont haubané du Val-Benoît en 2000.
Importante capacité de production et souplesse de gestion sont les atouts premiers de l’entreprise sprimontoise.
Cette carrière de petit granit consiste en une excavation allongée, partiellement occupée par la 'décharge de classe III du Fond de Correux'. L'activité extractive a encore lieu dans la partie médiane et un grand atelier de taille est installé vers la route. Le secteur occidental, actuellement désaffecté, et les abords supérieurs de la fosse présentent toutefois un intérêt biologique: reproduction du crapaud accoucheur et du lézard des murailles; flanc nord incliné colonisé par une végétation des substrats calcaires (e.a. Catapodium rigidum, Crepis foetida, Teucrium botrys); présence de la fougère Gymnocarpium robertianum.
It was the arrival of Mathieu Van Roggen, from Holland, who revitalised the CARRIÈRES DE SPRIMONT around 1880. He made them fully efficient by rationalising the operation and modernising the tool. The large power station of 1904, which became the “Stone Museum”, is a remarkable example of this. Subsequently, the Merbes-Sprimont group managed the properties until the Brancaleoni family took them over in 1984.
Several sites are currently in operation. The reputation for quality of these deposits has long been established and
their prestigious references are numerous, from the Grand’ Poste in Liège and the Fragnée bridge around 1900, to the
new cable-stayed bridge at Val-Benoît in 2000.
Significant production capacity and management flexibility are the primary assets of the Sprimont company.
This small granite quarry consists of an elongated excavation, partially occupied by the 'class III dump of Fond de Correux'. Extractive activity still takes place in the middle part and a large cutting workshop is installed towards the road. The western sector, currently disused, and the upper edges of the pit are nevertheless of biological interest: reproduction of the midwife toad and the wall lizard; inclined northern flank colonized by vegetation of calcareous substrates (e.g. Catapodium rigidum, Crepis foetida, Teucrium botrys); presence of the fern Gymnocarpium robertianum.
