Guillaume Daniel (G.D.) Delprat, after whom this shaft was named, was a Dutch-Australian metallurgist and mining engineer. An astute businessman, Delprat was Broken Hill Proprietry Limited’s ( BHP) General Manager from 1899 to 1921. He played an important part in the perfecting of a technique that came to be known as the (C.V.) Potter-Delprat flotation process; it revolutionized sulphide ore treatment and brought enormous profits from the metal content of millions of tons (tonnes) of formerly useless tailings.and a developer of the flotation process, which entails separating valuable minerals from gangue (mined rock that is not ore) with water.
The Delprat shaft was sunk in 1900. In 1952, the original wooden headframe was replaced by the present steel structure, and an electric winder replaced a steam engine. The early steam engines used to power mining machinery in the early twentieth century were powered by boilers fuelled by local firewood. Timber was also cut for use in buildings and headframes.
The shaft was closed to mining by the time MMM (Mining for Metal and Minerals) ceased operations in August 1976. It became a tourist mine in 1977, and its closure in 2007 was due to nearby remnant mining operations by CBH Resources.

'Tired' school paintbrushes. The ingrained colours are the only good reason that children don't clean them properly.
This Saturday 10 volunteers organized a workshop to learn programming with the Scratch visual programming software and robotics with the Lego Wedo and Mindstorms kits to kids.
There have been a lot of other sessions for 3 years since we've started to promote this type of workshop.
Thanks to all these people and the organizations that provides knowledge, computers, resources kits and snacks (ADN Ouest, La ruche numérique, La cantine numérique, Devoxx4Kids, Coder Dojo, Coding Gouter, ...., as well as a large number of companies that are sponsors for these events)
Todays Our Daily Challenge: In The Future.
I had lots of different ideas for this challenge but nothing grabbed me. I finally decided to go with this idea and after I took this shot, was happy I went with it.
Trees are like the lungs of the earth, taking in the carbon dioxide and giving off oxygen via photosynthesis. One of the keys to reducing green houses gases is via the use of trees. Forestry is considered to be one of the most sustainable and renewable resources on the planet. In fact, you could say the future depends on them. In the future, thanks to much knowledge that has been gained over the years, perhaps we can hope that there will be more attention paid to how trees are used and how trees like this, in particular, that are many many years old, are a very valuable resource indeed.
Last year, CentreGreat were working along a short stretch of the River Cynon, and not only did they dump their rubbish in the
river, they also drove numerous nesting birds from their nests, including Dipper and Sand Martins. Natural Resources Wales don't care. CentreGreat don't care. S.W. Police are now investigating them.
Despite numerous complaints their rubbish is still fly tipped in the river. Both organisations should be prosecuted under the
Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981

Osprey of the Jersey Shore | 2018
The 2017 Osprey Project in New Jersey:
www.conservewildlifenj.org/downloads/cwnj_802.pdf
Despite New Jersey being the most densely populated state, it holds tremendous diversity in preserved open space, especially our coastal salt marshes. The preservation of these wetland areas has played a huge role in the recovery of the osprey population in New Jersey. Today, they are home to the majority of ospreys (86%) who nest along the Atlantic Coast. Osprey nests define our coast and colonies are located along the entire coast from Sandy Hook to Cape May and west on the Delaware Bayshore up the Maurice River to Salem. This year a total of 668 active nests were recorded in New Jersey, with 75 of those being new nests from various regions of the state. This is well above the historic pre-DDT estimate of 500 nesting pairs and goes to show that ospreys and humans can coexist in New Jersey as long as we continue to protect wetland areas and conserve our natural resources, like forage fish, that ospreys need to thrive. The largest population gains in the state, from 2013 to 2017, were observed in both Monmouth and Ocean Counties, from 130 in 2013 to 207 in 2017.
The Osprey (Pandion haliaetus), sometimes known as the Sea Hawk, Fish Eagle or Fish Hawk, is a diurnal, fish-eating bird of prey. It is a large Raptor, reaching more than 24 inches in length and a 71 inches wingspan. It is brown on the upper parts and predominantly greyish on the head and under parts, with a black eye patch and wings. In 1994, the osprey was declared the provincial bird of Nova Scotia, Canada.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agriculture_in_Pakistan
Pakistan's principal natural resources are arable land and water. About 25% of Pakistan's total land area is under cultivation and is watered by one of the largest irrigation systems in the world. Pakistan irrigates three times more acres than Russia. Agriculture accounts for about 21% of GDP and employs about 41% of the labor force.
Early history
Barley and wheat cultivation—along with the domestication of cattle, primarily sheep and goat—was visible in Mehrgarh by 8000-6000 BCE.[1][2] Early Mehrgarh residents lived in mud brick houses, stored their grain in granaries, fashioned tools with local copper ore, and lined their large basket containers with bitumen. They cultivated six-row barley, einkorn and emmer wheat, jujubes and dates, and herded sheep, goats and cattle. Residents of the later period (5500 BC to 2600 BC) put much effort into crafts, including flint knapping, tanning, bead production, and metal working. The site was occupied continuously until about 2600 BC.[3]
Irrigation was developed in the Indus Valley Civilization(see alsoMohenjo-daro) by around 4500 BCE.[4] The size and prosperity of the Indus civilization grew as a result of this innovation, which eventually led to more planned settlements making use of drainage and sewers.[4] Sophisticated irrigation and water storage systems were developed by the Indus Valley Civilization, including artificial reservoirs at Girnar dated to 3000 BCE, and an early canal irrigation system from circa 2600 BCE.[5]
Archeological evidence of an animal-drawn plough dates back to 2500 BC in the Indus Valley Civilization.
Rankings
Pakistan is one of the world's largest producers and suppliers of the following according to the 2005 Food and Agriculture Organization of The United Nations and FAOSTAT given here with ranking:
•Chickpea (2nd)
•Apricot (4th)
•Cotton (4th)
•Sugarcane (4th)
•Milk (5th)
•Onion (5th)
•Date Palm (6th)
•Mango (7th)
•Tangerines, mandarin oranges, clementine (8th)
•Rice (8th)
•Wheat (9th)
•Oranges (10th)
Pakistan ranks fifth in the Muslim world and twentieth worldwide in farm output. It is the world's fifth largest milk producer.
Crops
The most important crops are wheat, sugarcane, cotton, and rice, which together account for more than 75% of the value of total crop output.
Pakistan's largest food crop is wheat. In 2005, Pakistan produced 21,591,400 metric tons of wheat, more than all of Africa (20,304,585 metric tons) and nearly as much as all of South America (24,557,784 metric tons), according to the FAO[7]
Pakistan has also cut the use of dangerous pesticides dramatically. [8]
Pakistan is a net food exporter, except in occasional years when its harvest is adversely affected by droughts. Pakistan exports rice, cotton, fish, fruits (especially Oranges and Mangoes), and vegetables and imports vegetable oil, wheat, cotton, pulses and consumer foods. The country is Asia's largest camel market, second-largest apricot and ghee market and third-largest cotton, onion and milk market.
The economic importance of agriculture has declined since independence, when its share of GDP was around 53%. Following the poor harvest of 1993, the government introduced agriculture assistance policies, including increased support prices for many agricultural commodities and expanded availability of agricultural credit. From 1993 to 1997, real growth in the agricultural sector averaged 5.7% but has since declined to about 4%. Agricultural reforms, including increased wheat and oilseed production, play a central role in the government's economic reform package.
Much of the Pakistan's agriculture output is utilized by the country's growing processed-food industry. The value of processed retail food sales has grown 12 percent annually during the Nineties and was estimated at over $1 billion in 2000, although supermarkets accounted for just over 10% of the outlets. [9]
The Federal Bureau of Statistics provisionally valued major crop yields at Rs.504,868 million in 2005 thus registering over 55% growth since 2000 [10] while minor crop yields were valued at Rs.184,707 million in 2005 thus registering over 41% growth since 2000. The exports related to the agriculture sector in 2009-10 are Rs 288.18 billion including food grains, vegetables, fruits, tobacco, fisheries products, spices and livestock.

Fishery
Fishery and fishing industry plays an important role in the national economy of Pakistan. With a coastline of about 814 km, Pakistan has enough fishery resources that remain to be fully developed. It is also a major source of export earning.

One Angel Square is an office building in Manchester, England. Construction work began in 2010 and was completed in February 2013. The landmark building is the head office of the Co-operative Group. Standing 72.5 metres (237.8 feet) tall, the building forms the centrepiece of the new £800 million NOMA development in the northern quarter of Manchester city centre. The building cost at least £105 million to construct and was sold on leaseback terms in 2013 for £142 million.
One Angel Square is one of the most sustainable large buildings in Europe and is built to a BREEAM 'Outstanding' rating. It is powered by a biodiesel cogeneration plant using rapeseed oil to provide electricity and heat. The structure makes use of natural resources, maximising passive solar gain for heat and using natural ventilation through its double-skin facade, adiabatic cooling, rainwater harvesting, greywater recycling and waste heat recycling.
The building's distinctive form has been compared to a sliced egg and a ship. Its design was announced by architects 3DReid in May 2009 and construction began in July 2010 with a projected completion date in March 2013. In December 2012, the scheme surpassed its pan-European sustainability aims and achieved a world-record BREEAM score of 95.32%, It is also an energy-plus building, producing surplus energy and zero carbon emissions. The building has received numerous awards for its striking aesthetic and sustainability aims.
As the Second Greco-Roman War dragged on, the resources at the NGRF's disposal continued to dwindle. This was accelerated by the URE's capture of the Macedonian construction yards, effectively cutting the Federation's manufacturing output in half. No longer able to produce Hastati IIs at an acceptable rate, they fell back on bolstering their forces with Decurions.
The Decurion began its development cycle as an early prototype for the Hastati. Based largely off of tech from the Gremlin, the original design was updated with modern armor and features to become the System we see today. Its performance falls short of the URE's Aardwolf III, but it makes up for that in sheer versatility. It specializes in ground combat but the B-type equipment adds a number of propellant tanks and thrusters to allow for limited use in outer space. This equipment has also been used for dropping Decurions into combat zones from the air, a tactic that has proved somewhat effective for surprising URE forces.
The Decurion's standard armament is a 100mm machine gun but it is also capable of wielding the "Pilum" heavy beam bazooka. Optional equipment includes "System Buster" warheads that can be mounted on the waist and missile pods that fit over the shoulders.
Geez that description took a lot out of me. I make most of it up on the fly and have to scour through all my old descriptions to properly reference stuff and make sure I don't contradict anything.
Anyway I wanted to do a build inspired by Dipo Muh's work, especially his Zaku redesigns. I put a lot of effort into the weapons as well, and really like how the flip-out stock on the rifle turned out as well as how all the parts on the bazooka mesh together. The backpack looks pretty heavy but it stands up pretty well. Only weight issues I've had is with holding the bazooka, where the shoulder guard is kinda necessary.
