Notre Dame fire: Will tourists be able to visit Paris cathedral over Easter after blaze?
NOTRE DAME cathedral in Paris was engulfed in an enormous fire last night causing the spire on the medieval building to collapse in the shocking blaze. The fire is believed to have been started by accident, but will tourists visiting on Easter holidays be able to visit?

Notre-Dame: Paris cathedral ENGULFED in flames
Notre Dame cathedral in Paris is on fire last night, with the blaze's origin believed to be linked to renovation works ongoing in the iconic building in France. Firefighters spent all night tackling the fire which began around 7pm local time - with the spire collapsing in flames two hours later. Notre Dame was first constructed in 1160 and later restored between 1845 and 1870. The famous cathedral attracts 12 million tourists in Paris every year, partly as a result of the popularity of Victor Hugo's 1831 novel The Hunchback of Notre-Dame and the ensuing Disney film.

But will tourists visiting Paris over the Easter holidays be able to visit Notre Dame?
Sadly, given the scale of the damage to the beautiful landmark, it is unlikely holidaymakers will be able to visit, and there's speculation it might not be able to be "saved".
Paris Deputy Mayor Emmanuel Gregoire told BFMTV the cathedral has suffered "colossal damages".
According to The Telegraph, a cathedral spokesman has said the entire wooden interior of the Notre Dame is aflame and likely to be destroyed.
Express.co.uk has contacted Notre Dame for further comment on visitor information.
The cathedral was evacuated when the fire alarm was activated around 6.30pm, according to André Finot, a spokesman for Notre Dame.

A major operation is underway, Paris authorities have said, while a city hall spokesman said on Twitter that the area was being cleared.
Firefighters have been pictured attempting to salvage works of art from the cathedral and take them to safety.
The building is in the midst of renovations and is currently wrapped in scaffolding.
European Parliament Brexit coordinator Guy Verhofstadt posted on social media: "So sad to see the images of the burning #NotreDameDeParis.
"I hope that the Paris fire brigade will get the fire under control as soon as possible. My thoughts are with the people of France as a masterpiece of European gothic is at risk of being destroyed."

A spokesman from Elysee Palace said French President Emmanuel Macron will visit the scene.
Donald Trump has also taken the time to weigh in via Twitter. He suggested the use of "flying water tankers" on the fragile 12th-century structure and warned France "must act quickly!"
Others have also taken to Twitter to share their sadness at the destruction of the historical landmark.
"To see Notre Dame in flames breaks my heart," one person tweeted. Another posted: "What a sad day for humanity! 800-year history just gone."
A third person commented on the footage of the cathedral burning: "Can't bear watching it. Devastating."
AFP News Agency has tweeted that the French deputy interior minister said saving Notre Dame "is not certain" and that French fire services are "not sure" if Notre-Dame fire can be stopped.
A police officer on the scene told reporters: "Everything is collapsing," reported The Independent.

Good for the two counties here, says a professor who has written a book about such developments. Edward Blakely, author of "Fortress America: Gated Communities in the United States" and a former dean of urban planning at the University of Southern California and a department chairman at the University of California at Berkeley, said the developments signal a certain character. "You don't find many of them that are in communities that are small and friendly," Blakely said.
Moreover, they are not the future, he said.
"Gated communities are probably passé," Blakely said. "The demographics are really against them."
Older residents can't afford them and younger families don't want to live behind barriers, he said.
Blakely, who in 1971-72 studied Marysville and Yuba City for a report about what residents thought about local government, said the security that attracts residents to gated communities is an illusion.
Driving a new car and being well-dressed, he never had any problem entering such developments, said Blakely, noting asking to look at a model home was one way of access.
"There was no gated community I didn't get into," he said.
Not everyone sees gated communities as Blakely does.
Renaissance resident Lucas Helm, 19, said he can live with the restricted access — which would extend to people providing services and delivering goods to the neighborhood — if gates go in. Helm has had his car broken into several times and said the security that gates would bring makes sense.
"The benefits would override the complications," he said. "You might be a little more protected."
Renaissance could be next
Laurence Sager, who lives in the Renaissance development and attended the City Council meeting Feb. 19 when the request for gates underwent review, said he understand the interest in gates.
"When I first moved in here nine years ago, I thought this should be a gated community," Sager said of the subdivision at Railroad Avenue and Bogue Road.
But the math on $10-an-hour-guards totals $87,600 a year for an around-the-clock presence at a gate, he said. And an access code alone isn't much security since repair services, friends of residents and others will know the code number, Sager said.
Homes in gated communities can command 7 percent to 10 percent higher sale prices, he added, but the costs to residents for such work as street maintenance may offset that.
Mayor John Buckland and his wife, Tricia, were walking their dogs on Friday along a sidewalk in the subdivision that is near their home. The mayor said if 100 percent of residents want a gate, they should get one.
But he noted issues that include limited space at an entrance to Renaissance. Costs to convert to a gated community could be substantial because traffic can't backup along the street outside the subdivision, he said.
Tricia Buckland said that at Lake Wildwood in Nevada County, private security can ticket drivers for exceeding the 25 mph speed limit. That enforcement is welcomed by many who see the gated community as safer for children and pedestrians, she said, but the tickets surprise some.
Author Edward Blakely believes residents of gated communities benefit from a sense of security — but not the reality. Anyone taller than 5 feet-11 can scale the walls that surround such developments, he said. Security guards don't provide the protection some people presume they do.
"Very few gated communities have crime rates any different than their surrounding communities," he said.
If guards find someone who has entered the development but doesn't live there, they can ask for identification but the person isn't required to show it, Blakely said.
"They can't escort you out," he added. "They don't have police powers."
Many residents enjoy living behind gates in part because they attract people with the same income levels and politics, Blakely said.
Yuba City resident Jeremy Zagackowski, 28, was walking through the Renaissance subdivision to his nearby residence and said he can understand people living there wanting the privacy gates could bring.
But, converting to a closed community would change things for him, he said.
"It kind of sucks," said Zagackowski. "You've got to take the long way around."
Fewer crimes in Lake Wildwood
Edward Simpkins calls developments like Lake Wildwood east of Marysville in Nevada County "bundled communities" that include a golf course and lake.
The chief executive officer of the Lake Wildwood Association said the 2,300-acre development opened in 1968 and that the roots for such developments reach back to Hilton Head, SC, in the late 1950s.
Fewer and less severe crimes occur at the gated community in Penn Valley 20 miles east of Marysville, Simpkins said. Lake Wildwood monitors Nevada County Sheriff's Department crime reports, the CEO said. Security ranks first among reasons residents cite for living in the development, Simpkins said.
"People are looking for that," he said.
Fines — that vary depending on the speed a driver reached — do follow violations of the 25 mph speed limit at the gated community, he said.
The development with its artificial lake is one of the last the state of California allowed. Builders of such a project today would face a longshot to include a lake.
"That would be the biggest challenge," Simpkins said.
Edward Blakely, author of "Fortress America: Gated Communities in the United States," agrees that the days when a development could dam water are over.
"You're not going to get a lake," he said.

Holiday training for years 8-12 will be running next Wednesday 05/07/17 from 1pm to 3pm at the COLA for those who are keen for some bouting.
This training is not compulsory.
I wish you all a safe and enjoyable break and remember to stay active!


Because giants aren't real and hurting actual horses is bad, the production team behind Game of Thrones had some challenges to overcome when drawing up and filming the show's epic Battle of the Bastards.
Their solution, as you'll see in the video below, was to let Australian VFX studio Iloura fake it by blending close-ups, actual crowd shots (which were then copy+pasted) and a ton of CGI. I mean, yes, you probably figured that's how it was done, but it's something else actually seeing it broken down like this. Really gives you an appreciation for not just the craft in what was created from scratch, but the way VFX teams are getting smarter at the way they knit real footage and computer-generated stuff together to make the whole thing look more impressive.

Pushing the envelope with TEXTILE-CIRCUIT
KARL MAYER successfully presents Smart Shirt at IDTechEx Show! in Santa Clara, 20-21 November 2019
Watch the video of our experts presenting the newest developments.
IDTechEx Show! is a red-letter day for anyone with an interest in new technology. The latest edition of the conference and exhibition even was held on 20 and 21 November 2019 in Santa Clara, USA, and attracted around 3,500 visitors from 60 different countries. Over 270 exhibitors and star speakers from industrial and research backgrounds competed for the guests' attention on the programme, which included around 270 speeches. The presentations covered all the latest content and issues: energy storage, printed electronics, sensors, the Internet of Things, electro-mobility and wearables.
As an expert partner for the manufacturing of e-textiles, KARL MAYER exhibited at IDTechEx Show! 2019 and gave a presentation on its field of expertise. This was the innovative textile machine manufacturer's second time at the event, and its staff were very pleased with their positive showing. "The upgrades we've made to our 2018 solution allowed us to establish ourselves as a trend-setter when it comes to the direct integration of wires into textiles. This technology just keeps unlocking more and more potential, and there's a lot of interest in it for practical applications," said Michael Kieren, Product Manager for New Textile Technologies. Mr Kieren went on to explain that this is a particular important moment to ensure that the company has a presence in the sector, as the textiles industry is providing stiff competition with procedures such as printed electronics.
Integrated conductivity
At IDTechEx Show! 2018, KARL MAYER presented a textile remote control and a knitted charging panel under the name TEXTILE-CIRCUIT. At this year's event, the renowned manufacturer of textile machines turned up with a smart shirt for measuring vital bodily functions in its suitcase – and much more besides. The sensor monitoring technology for the item of clothing is incorporated directly into the made-to-measure textile during production. The warp knitting machine's string bar technology allow the manufacturer to adapt the expansion, shape and position of the sensitive areas to suit the requirements of the application at hand. As such, the TEXTILE-CIRCUIT technology offers unrivalled efficiency.
Michael Kieren, Product Developer for Textile Technology Sophia Krinner, and Tony Hooimeijer, President of KARL MAYER North America, enjoyed a thrilling discussion on the innovation, and were delighted to answer questions on the projects that can be jointly developed in the MAKER SPACE at KARL MAYER's headquarters. Those who came to talk about TEXTILE-CIRCUIT included both big textile companies and customers from the knitwear sector, many of whom were looking to add another string to their bow by setting up an e-textiles segment. "We've thrown our hat in the ring and will keep working hard to evolve our TEXTILE-CIRCUIT developments even further," Sophia Krinner explained. We can't wait to see what KARL MAYER comes up with for IDTechEx Show! 2020 – or even before!

Board of Trustees November Meeting /
Montgomery ISD » News » What's Happening in MISD » Board of Trustees November Meeting
Board of Trustees Meeting Video and Recap: November 15, 2022
The Montgomery ISD Board of Trustees held a regularly scheduled monthly meeting on Tuesday, November 15, 2022. You can watch the video here and read the recap below:
During the November regular meeting of the Montgomery ISD Board of Trustees, district leadership announced that MISD has earned a Superior Achievement rating from the Financial Integrity Rating System of Texas (FIRST) for the 2021-2022 school year. The Superior Achievement rating is the state's highest, demonstrating the quality of Montgomery ISD's financial management and reporting system.
"Goal three of our district strategic plan focuses on efficient use of our resources, and we are extremely pleased and excited to be awarded a 'Superior' rating in this year's FIRST system," Board Vice President Laurie Turner said. "This achievement highlights the district's commitment to responsibly managing the funds we receive from our hard-working taxpayers."
The primary goal of FIRST is to achieve quality performance in the management of school districts' financial resources; a goal made more significant due to the complexity of accounting associated with Texas' school finance system. The FIRST ratings ensure that Texas public schools are held accountable for the quality of their financial management practices and that they improve these practices. The system is designed to encourage Texas public schools to better manage their financial resources to provide the maximum allocation possible for direct instructional purposes.
"This rating shows that Montgomery ISD is accountable not only for student learning, but also for achieving these results cost-effectively and efficiently." Trustee Mike Hopkins said. "A superior rating is a testament to our thoughtful use of district funds to ensure excellent learning outcomes for every MISD student. For us, this recognition is especially meaningful, given that our district receives significantly less funding per-student funding versus the state average. Strong fiscal management is critical to the success of our district as we are constantly challenged to do more with less, continually striving to meet and exceed the educational needs of our students and families."
Also, during the meeting, trustees adopted the secondary student course selection guide for the 2023-24 school year. Updates to the course selection guide include the addition of new dual credit and AP courses, and new courses within the CTE Pathways. One notable change for 2023-24 is making the EMT certification program available through the Practicum of Health Science course at Montgomery High School.
"We are excited about the district's continued focus on expanding Career and Technical Education course opportunities for students," Trustee Shawn Denison said. "Many of these outstanding programs offer students the ability to obtain certifications that will allow them to pursue high paying jobs after graduation."
Montgomery ISD voters approved the construction of a centralized Career and Technical Education Center serving both high schools. The CTE Center, which is part of the district's 2022 bond program, is scheduled to open for the 2025 school year.
"In Montgomery ISD CTE programs, students can explore options outside of traditional four-year colleges and get a head start on finding a career suitable for them," Career and Technical Education Director Amy Vance said. "Even if a student ultimately does not pursue a career after high school in the CTE program of their choice, they'll be able to utilize valuable critical-thinking and problem-solving skills learned in CTE courses as they enter another field or go to college."
Trustees also recognized MISD students who participated in the global Destination Imagination competition last spring. Oak Hills Junior High was represented by their team "The Naked Eyes". They competed in the scientific challenge and were coached by Wendy Jebousek. Lincoln Elementary's team "DoNutMessWithUs" competed in the fine arts challenge and was coached by Kristen Watkins. Madeley Ranch Elementary's team "Salty Popcorn" earned the top score in the improv instant challenge at the global competition. They were coached by Robin Riley and Laurel Plunk.
The meeting also included a combined performance from Montgomery High School and Lake Creek High choir students. Both choir programs were named National Winners in the Foundation for Music Education's 2022 Mark of Excellence project. Montgomery Madrigals Choir earned the recognition in the high school mixed choir category. Montgomery HS Chorale Women and Lake Creek HS Chorale Women received National Winner honors in the high school open class. MHS Choir Director Heather Orr and LCHS Choir Director Cameron Carnley led the combined performance.
"I am so proud of these amazing students for representing Montgomery ISD on a global and national level," Superintendent Dr. Heath Morrison said. "These accomplishments speak volumes about the talents of these students and the leadership of the coaches and directors of these remarkable MISD programs."


In an industry that runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and 365 days a year, mining doesn't stop for anyone.
It is no wonder mental health issues are becoming increasingly prevalent in the industry.
Breaking the mould of keeping private life private, Australian Mining looks at some alternative ways to take care of employee wellbeing and mental health.
Mining FM recently reported on the issue of mental health in mining, looking at how the problem rears its head through the use of drugs and alcohol as a coping mechanism.
Mining is one of the most heavily tested industries for drug and alcohol use in Australia.
Every mining company has its own procedures for testing and management; some companies test all employees every morning as they pass through the gate, while others use random testing methods.
In an effort to curb alcohol issues, late last year Western Australia's Pilbara mining region was slapped with tough liquor restrictions despite objections from mining giant Rio Tinto.
According to the West Australian, in an unsigned submission Rio said while it supported reforms it did not believe "heavy-handed" regulations were appropriate to address challenges the alcohol management group outlined.
"Appreciating that Rio Tinto's mine site accommodation villages are not general public alcohol supply points, the introduction of the recommendations related specifically to the sale of packaged liquor and the prohibition of the sale and supply of liquor before noon will have a detrimental effect on our employees' ability to enjoy a quality lifestyle while living and working away from home," the submission said.
Psychologist Cameron Brown from The Cabin rehabilitation centre in Thailand has worked closely with miners, treating many miners for drug and alcohol abuse and other mental health issues.
Discussing substance abuse he told Australian Mining that addiction is a sickness, not a problem to be dealt with in criminal proceedings. Rather it requires a multitude of strategies in order for it to be dealt with comprehensively.
"More and more research suggests that addiction is a brain disease, there are a lot of imaging studies of the brain that suggests addicts' brains don't work in the same manner that a non-addict's does," he said.
"There is more and more research to suggest that this is true but unfortunately it doesn't make it all the way through to law or anything like that because it is so stigmatised, we are beginning to treat things like anxiety and depression as illnesses but when it comes to substance abuse we treat that as a choice, which the evidence doesn't say that is true.
"The evidence suggests that it is actually a misfiring in the brain's reward circuitry.
Interestingly Brown said The Cabin sees a number of miners "who have been able to keep up with work and a ruse of wellness for a long period of time until one or a number of factors in their lives fall down whether it be financially, socially or health related".
Functional alcoholism or addiction Brown explains is when someone drinks or uses drugs to an alcoholic or dependent degree but is "able to stop drinking in time to get to things like their mining site, do their shift, and do their rotation".
A notion that is extremely dangerous in the context of mining, especially as drinking to excess and then stopping suddenly can lead to conditions like excessive tiredness, nausea, and shaking, Brown said.
Brown said in many instances the stigma that surrounds mental health is stopping miners' from seeking treatment.
"Supervisors need to learn to recognise the indicators of poor mental health," he said.
"We don't see a lot of referrals from companies, because I think of the stigma and the nature of the illness means individuals may either lose their jobs or resign from their jobs.
"We mainly see people self presenting to The Cabin for treatment.
Random drug and alcohol testing does defer some from dabbling in banned substances and it covers the company from an OH&S perspective but it doesn't go a long way in treating the underlying issues.
"We are looking at the safety of the mine in terms of those random drug tests, but it's not about employee wellbeing," Brown stated.
"At the moment we do see a lot of people who work in the mining industry who haven't had any help or been caught in a dirty drug or alcohol screen, and they've been able to work through.
"In my experience I haven't seen many people get caught by those tests.
"You have to question the efficiency of a random screening that doesn't catch the people that it needs to," he said.
Brown told Australian Mining that "one of the most commonly used illicit drugs for Australians is methamphetamine, which people use to a functional degree as well to keep themselves awake".
"Marijuana is also used to [assist] come down and relaxation," he said.
Jennifer Bowers is the chief executive officer of the Centre for Rural & Remote Mental Health Queensland, told Australian Mining that drug and alcohol use on site is usually a means of masking deeper issues.
"Drugs and alcohol are an issue and will only exacerbate a pre-existing issue or problem," she said.
Bowers agreed with Brown stating that drug and alcohol testing isn't the answer to dealing with mental health issues.
"People are getting very clever about circumventing drug and alcohol testing," she said.
"Education and raising awareness of the consequences of drugs and alcohol and what they do to you mentally and physically is the best way to deal with it.
"Any problem can escalate out of control if you've had a few drinks," Bowers warned.
The majority of mining patients Brown treats at The Cabin rehabilitation facility are men.
He explained that this is not just because the majority of the sector's employees were male but also because women are normally better at asking for help before a crisis.
"Research shows that women are better at self care and seeking out health when they need it, rather then men who tend to leave it until the problem reaches crisis point," Brown said.
Remote and offshore support service company Compass provides holistic physical and mental programs for mine sites.
Australian Mining spoke to the company's active and life coach Jessica Pereira who is currently based on BHP's Area C exploration operation outside of Newman in Western Australia.
Pereira said when it comes to mental issues she sees a higher amount of males presenting.
"There seems to be more males with mental issues," she said.
"Male suicide and depression rates are much higher.
"Females tend to suffer more from eating issues, whether it be over eating or otherwise," Pereira stated.
Work rosters and shifts can cause depression and anxiety in miners, Brown stated.
But he was quick to reiterate that "research into the area of mining health is relatively small, but research into other shift work like doctors and nurses shows that there is a higher percentage in that population of things like mental illness, depression, and anxiety because of the effects shift work has on the body".
"Work rosters don't have a good affect on mental illness, and poor mental health does have a flow on affect to substance abuse," Brown said.
Pereira said rosters have a significant impact on miners' mental health. Prior to working on site at Area C she was based at BHP's Port Headland rail project.
The majority of the workers at the rail project were on a 4 week on 1 week off roster, and she said it really took its toll.
"It was really harsh on the miners because there's no life balance, all there doing is working," she said.
"Drinking, social issues, relationship struggles, and fitness problems all began to arise.
Area C currently runs an eight days on, six days off rotation and the employees are on the majority seem much healthier, Pereira said.
"The longer the roster the worse it is," she said.
Pereira said mental health issues are even more prevalent in offshore workers because of isolation issues, "they have nowhere to go".
Many mine sites are realising the importance of developing a "home away from home", Pereira stated.
"In the last ten years there have been massive changes to health and lifestyle on mine sites," she said.
This has included building movie theatres, ovals, driving ranges, organising fun runs, and scheduling yoga classes.
Periera said the shift towards healthier sites has largely been assisted by the WA mining boom.
Many workers entering the industry have unrealistic expectations about working conditions, pay rates and lifestyle, Brown explains.
"A lot of FIFO and DIDO workers tend to be career changes, so they may have expectations about the amount of money they can earn vs the amount of effort," he said.
"A lot of people come in and say: 'All I'm going to need to do is drive a truck for 2 or 3 weeks and then I get a week off, how hard can it be?' They don't realise the effect long shifts have on their bodies, and living in remote and rural communities where they may not have regular access to other people," Brown explained.
There seems to be a real disconnect between what a new employee expects the industry to be like and what it is.
"For a lot of FIFO or DIDO workers they think working in mining is going to change their situation, when in fact it turns out to be far more stressful then they thought it was going to be.
Brown recommended a few simple strategies which can be implemented to set expectations straight.
He said there needs to be more pre-filtering done by mining companies.
"The expectations can definitely be changed by a little pre-education," he said.
Bowers operates on the front line of mental health in mining and told Australian Mining "psychological problems can lead to safety risks and accidents".
"Psychological health is just as important as physical health," she said.
Being organised and prepared is one way miners can help manage mental wellbeing.
"We write induction books so employees are well prepared, so you're well prepared about what to expect onsite, to understand for the climate, the environment, how to plan for R&R, communicate with your family and plan your finances," Bowers stated.
Taking an active approach to assist workers seek treatment is important.
"There is a stigma in the general population around seeking treatment, particularly for depression and anxiety," Brown stated.
"We talk about things like diabetes and bowl cancer but when it comes to depression and anxiety people think it's shameful because there is that stigma that people see it as a weakness of character rather than of physical ability," he said.
Through the Centre for Rural and Remote Mental Health, Bowers has developed an all encompassing and extremely positive mental health safety program especially for mine sites.
She said when dealing with mental health and wellbeing in a mining context the approach needs to be proactive.
The Minds in Mines program is aimed at changing the mental health culture on mine sites through positive tool box talks and training for staff and management.
"Dealing with mental health doesn't have to be all negative, it can be a positive message," Bowers said.
Bowers recommended building protective factors into miners' lives so they can "deal with problems before they arise".
"If problems are recognised early and workers are encouraged to seek help it saves a lot of anguish for the person, family and improves productivity for the company," she said.
Agreeing with Brown, Bowers said the big issue when it comes to wellbeing is the stigma that exists around mental health.
"One of the major problems for us to deliver the program is the stigma," Bowers said.
Overcoming the mental health stigma starts at the top of the management chain Bowers explained.
"The challenge is the people who have the authority to sign off on these programs are not out on site, they're in the head office," she said.
Taking mental health seriously is one way for mining companies to improve attrition rates and safety statistics.
"If company's take mental health seriously they will improve their retention rates and they won't have as much churn," Bowers said.
When it comes to mental health management Bowers explained that people in the mining and resource sector have been neglected.
"It's not the core business of companies to look at the mental health of their workforce," she said.
But a positive and supportive approach is needed on site, and frankly Bowers said "it's good management and improves productivity and profit for the company and ultimately it's good for the government as well but I don't think people understand the economics of it".
"What we've found on site is once a company commits to a [mental health] program the support and recognition on site is fantastic," she said.
Although some mining companies are more proactive then others, attitudes and cultures don't change over night.
"What a lot of them don't promote is a long term, sustainable and integrated mental health policies," Bowers said.
The information age is here; many cannot be far from a smart phone, desktop or tablet device and there's almost an app for everything, including as it seems, mental health.
Reiterating the idea that supervisors need to recognise signs of mental illness by taking a proactive and holistic approach the Mynds Performance App provides a means for monitoring employee wellbeing.
Already used in Australian Sailing and the NRL, an employee is able to use an ipad, computer or mobile device to benchmark how they're feeling against almost 30 different human aspects, taking less then a minute, it grabs this data to quantify how someone is feeling over a period of time.
The user regularly benchmarks aspects like confidence, family and finances, ranking between one and ten at either daily or weekly intervals.
It is designed to turn feelings and states of mind into quantifiable, usable data.
If scores drop a red flag is raised with management and a green one if improvement is made.
"Anything that can objectively logged exactly how miners or sports people or what ever the case is going on for their supervisors, and make that process a little bit more streamlined and easier for them rather than having to do performance reviews or keeping an eye on someone for the entirety of their shift or what ever the case may be, I think that's a great idea," Brown said about the Mynds program.
The company's director Mick Miller told Australian Mining Mynds is slowly being implemented in the business sphere because it can actively monitor team motivation and fatigue levels while keeping all the information confidential.
Mynds has been designed as part of a holistic approach to employee wellbeing, allowing managers to gain insight into how their team's professional performance is delicately interwoven with their mental health and personal welfare.
Miller said the program lowered attrition rates as workers are able to indicate issues that need to be addressed, and management can see dips and rises in different aspects, enabling efforts to be made to address these elements.
One aspect that is benchmarked in the system and is proving to be quite a significant one for the mining industry is rest and recreation.
"If an individual or team's rest and recreation scores are coming in really low it can indicate fatigue or tiredness," Miller explained.
If a miner's family score is low and a manager sees performance, morale or productivity is waning action can be taken to lift this score, like flying the miner's family onsite for Christmas.
Miller said there is a direct correlation between Mynds' data and KPI or productivity data and sick leave days but the Mynds program quantifies otherwise unquantifiable information.
"When all the little things are being addressed, employees perform more consistently," he said.
Diet: Healthy eating, healthy mind.
Many mine sites have already employed dieticians to ensure meals provided are healthy and eating strategies are in place.
Pereira said on the BHP site she works on they have implemented diet plans and a traffic light nutrition system.
She said she goes through menus with the site's chefs daily and labels food as eat most, eat moderately or eat less so miners are aware of what food choices are best.
Exercise: Active body, active mind.
Going to the site gym, doing some laps in the pool, having a game of touch football with your colleagues or even gentle stretching in morning prestart meetings, all go a long way towards improving state of mind.
At BHP's Area C Pereia said compulsory stretching exercises are done at pre-start meetings daily because "the more you work the more you shorten in your muscles".
On site the miners are supplied with all the facilities and equipment needed to safety stretch and exercise including foam rollers, mats, fit balls, and an oval.
Pereia added that many weight and health issues are a symptom of poor mental health and that simple exercise can be a good way to promote wellbeing.
Limit alcohol consumption, it can increase the effects of fatigue and cause mental issues to be exacerbated.
Family – Talk to family members, be open and honest.
Articulation – Learn to communicate your problems or concerns.
Mates – Build a support network on site.
Bowers explained that "finances put a huge amount of stress on people".
She recommended miners plan financial matters and be in control because "when you're in control you know what's happening, you can do something about it, it's when it gets out of control that it becomes a problem".

SAS Enterprise Miner has been a leader in data mining and modeling for over 20 years. The system offers over 80 different nodes that help users analyze, score and model their data. With a wide range of functionalities, there can be a number of different ways to produce the results you want.
At SAS® Global Forum 2018, Principal Systems Engineer Melodie Rush spoke about her experience with SAS® Enterprise Miner , and compiled a list of hints that she believe will help users of all levels. This article previews her full presentation, Top 10 Tips for SAS Enterprise Miner Based on 20 Years' Experience. The paper includes images and further details of each of the tips noted below; I'd encourage you to check it out to learn more.
If you struggle finding the node that best fits what you need, there's a system that can simplify it.
Nodes are organized by Sample, Explore, Modify, Model, and Assess. Find which of these best describes what you are trying to do, and scroll across each node alphabetically for a description.
Highlight process flow by dragging your mouse across, right-click or CTRL+C, and Paste or CTRL+V where you want to insert process flow.
There's a new tab, HPDM (High-Performance Data Mining), which contains several new nodes that cover data mining and machine learning algorithms.
There are two new nodes under Utility that incorporate Open Source and SAS Viya.
The Open Source Integration node allows you to use R language code in SAS Enterprise Miner diagrams.
A SAS Viya Code node now incorporates code that will be used in SAS Viya and CAS, and algorithms from SAS Visual Data Mining and Machine Learning.
To save and share your results, there are now the Register Model and Save Data nodes under Utility.
You can now register models to the SAS Metadata Server to score or compare easily.
A Save Data node lets you save training, validation, test, score, or transaction data as SAS, JMP, Excel, CSV or tab-delimited files.
The reporter node under Utility allows you to easily document your Enterprise Miner process flow diagrams. A .pdf or .rtf is created with an image of the process flow.
The Metadata node, on the Utility tab, allows you to change metadata information and values in your diagram. You also can capture settings to then apply to data in another diagram.
A scorecard emphasizes what variables and values from your model are important. Values are reported on a 0 to 1,000 scale, with the higher being more likely the event you're measuring occurs. To do this, have the Reporter node follow a Score node, and then change the Nodes property to Summary under Reporter node properties.
or change the macro value in project start code.
Tip 9: Which variable selection method should I use?
Instead of choosing just one variable selection method, you can combine different ones such as Decision Trees, Forward, Chi-Square, and others. The results can be combined using different selection properties, such as None (no changes made from original metadata), Any (reject a variable if any previous variable selection nodes reject it), All (reject a variable if all of the previous variable selection nodes reject it), and Majority (reject a variable if the majority of the variable selection nodes reject it).
Decision trees can be produced to interpret networks, by changing the Prediction variable to be your Target and the Target variable to be rejected.
With so many options to create models that best suit your preferences, these tips will help sharpen your focus and allow you to use SAS Enterprise Miner more efficiently and effectively. This presentation was one in a series of talks on Enterprise Miner tool presented at SAS® Global Forum 2018.

Devotions by Ray Stedman -Babylon! – A daily devotion for August 31
Ray Stedman Sermons Leave a comment
Topic:Babylon!
READ THE SCRIPTURE: JEREMIAH 50-51
This is the word the Lord spoke through Jeremiah the prophet concerning Babylon and the land of the Babylonians: Announce and proclaim among the nations, lift up a banner and proclaim it; keep nothing back, but say, Babylon will be captured; Bel will be put to shame, Marduk filled with terror. Her images will be put to shame and her idols filled with terror.(Jeremiah 50:1-2)
Chapters 50 and 51, two of the longest in the book, are devoted to the destruction and overthrow of Babylon. Everywhere in Scripture Babylon is a symbol of the great enemy of God, especially as the devil uses false religious authority to claim earthly standing, prestige, and power.
Do you remember where Babylon began? In the tower of Babel, after the Flood. Why did men erect the tower of Babel? They erected a tower to ascend into the heavens and become like God. Under Nimrod it became the mother of harlots and the abominations of the earth. It became the fountainhead of idolatry and began to export these ideas all throughout the world. It was so that they might make a name for themselves (Genesis 11:4). Babylonianism is the attempt to gain some prestige or status in the eyes of the world by religious authority. Every religion in the world seeks that. Whole systems of religion have been seized and these systems seek to gain great authority, to be known as princes and kings and powers in the world today. It all began with the tower of Babel.
Just as Babylon itself was the great destructive power against Judah, so Babylon's turn must come. Out of the north, the Medes and the Persians would come against Babylon and overthrow this great kingdom. Despite its tremendous walls, its vast palaces, its ornate hanging gardens, its huge size, and its great armies — the greatest power of the world of that day — at the very height of its power God declares that it shall be totally lost.
There are many who say that Babylon must be built again because of the prophecies in the book of Revelation that refer to Babylon. But the reference there is to Mystery Babylon the great, (Revelation 17:5 KJV). So this is not the actual, literal city, but that for which Babylon stands — the idolatrous practices and the blasphemous assumption of power by religious authority. That is what is going to be destroyed, as the book of Revelation says. Yet here in Chapter 51, we are given a description of the destruction of this actual city, which is picked up and used again in Revelation.
Babylon symbolizes the enemy arrayed against us — the devil — and the two channels through which he attacks us — the world, and the flesh. These are forces with great power, bringing to pass all the terrible things recorded in our daily newspapers. God is adequate for all of them. Jesus speaks of these troubles in the world, assuring us, But take heart. I have overcome the world. (John 16:33) Faith in a living God can overcome the power of the world, can beat back the deceitfulness of the flesh, and can overcome the roaring, lion-like qualities of the devil in our life, so that we can stand free in the midst of the bondage of this age. Babylon shall sink and never rise again.
Thank you, Lord, for the promise that you will defeat the forces that are arrayed against me, symbolized forever by Babylon. Help me to walk by faith in the victory you have promised, and have given me in Christ.

Generate a package json file in the root directory of your application files. By default, the nodechef platform executes your code using the latest node js version. To specify a different version, use the "engines.node" attribute in the package.json file. Note you must specify the version explicitly. eg: "node" : "0.10.41". By default, the entry point of your application is the index.js script. To specify another script as the entry point, use either the "main" or "scripts.start" attribute.
On deployment, your local node_modules folder is not included in the zip package uploaded to the server. Modules from your package.json are cached on the build server for faster builds.
You can retrieve the Network address to use for the the listening socket from the environment variables process.env.PORT and process.env.BIND_IP. Hardcoded port numbers will not work on the nodechef platform.
The connection string to the database can be retrieved from the process.env.DATABASE_URI or process.env.DATABASE_URL environment variable. This value is a platform default variable that is automatically set on your behalf. You can however override this value if using an external database.
If you will like to launch your app with custom environment variables such as ROOT_URL pointing to your domain, follow the below steps.
The CLI JSON parser does not accept single quotes. Environment variables can also be configured after deployment from the web dashboard.
Required. Specify the name of your app. Note this name must match the name used when creating the cluster from the dashboard. If there is a mismatch, the CLI will prompt you to create a new cluster. You must disagree to this action in such a case to avoid possible charges.
Optional. Deploy your app with environment variables created in step 3.
Optional. Use this switch to specify another script in your package.json other than the start script to initiate your app.
Reference the package.json script segment shown at step 2 under working with NPM scripts. The below command will start your app using "node jobs.js" instead of the start script "node app.js"
Whenever the CLI detects the ncmanifest.json file in the root directory of your application, it will automatically attempt to parse the name of your app and other parameters.


An analysis compared risk of drug-related events, including myopathy, hepatic dysfunction, and incident diabetes, to predicted cardiovascular benefit for men and women at various ages.
Current guidelines may be recommending statins for patients who would experience more harm than benefit from them, according to a computer model that examined primary prevention for those with a 10-year cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk of 7.5% to 10%.
Researchers calculated the risk threshold at which the benefits of statins outweighed their harms, with separate estimates for men and women across various age groups. Disease-related events and drug-related adverse events (myopathy, hepatic dysfunction, and incident diabetes) were projected over time, using a network meta-analysis of primary prevention trials, a preference survey, and selected observational studies among people 40 to 75 years of age with no history of CVD. The primary outcome was the 10-year risk for CVD at which statins provide at least a 60% probability of net benefit. Results were published Dec. 4 by Annals of Internal Medicine.
Younger men had net benefit at a lower 10-year risk for CVD than older men (14% for ages 40 to 44 years vs. 21% for ages 70 to 75 years). In women, the 10-year CVD risk required to see net benefit was higher (17% for ages 40 to 44 years vs. 22% for ages 70 to 75 years). Atorvastatin and rosuvastatin provided net benefit at lower 10-year risks than simvastatin and pravastatin. Harms consistently exceeded benefits until 10-year CVD risk thresholds were substantially higher than recommended by current guidelines, the researchers noted.
An accompanying editorial said that the study authors included a wide range of adverse events for statin therapy that have not been considered in the development of guidelines. Regardless, the study may help to inform decision-making for older adults who are more concerned about the harms of treatment, the editorial said.
The editorial noted that initiation of statin therapy for primary prevention should be sensitive to patient preferences, including the burden of taking a pill daily, and patients may weigh risks or benefits more heavily when making a decision to take a statin.
"Indeed, primary prevention of CVD must be patient-centered, because healthy patients are asked to assume risk, benefits are experienced only as the absence of disease, and uncertainty lurks beneath every choice," the editorialist wrote.

So.. has Star Wars mania hit your house yet? We have a 7yrs old and (just turned) 6yrs old in the house and they have been watching star wars for a couple of years now (I totally blame their dad!!!). I am amazed at how easily the Star Wars "bug" has been passed on down the generations. Though personally I love the films, I don't actually let the kids watch them too often and look for other ways for them to get their star wars fix, but in a more constructive and imaginative way and even educational way.
So I was very pleased to see these three sets of books on the market!!!!!!!
THESE WOULD MAKE GREAT CHRISTMAS GIFTS.. and be SURE to check out the giveaway below! Don't miss out!
My just turned six year old is all over these. She is chuffed to bits that there are some Star Wars things for her and at her reading level. These come as reading levels 1 and 2 (which is also book band yellow and blue).
My seven year old on the other hand (is almost 8) and is starting out on CHAPTER BOOKS. However, though he likes to read, he still needs "visual breaks" from lots of text – and enjoys chapter books with lots of illustrations (e.g. we got him the specially illustrated Harry Potter (US / UK)vs the the ordinary Harry Potter – the illustrated version is amazing).
So here we get the original trilogy – wonderfully illustrated – true to the movie – in Chapter book format.
A great book for my almost 8yrs old to get into "chapter book reading" but also to enjoy the illustrations.
Great for Bed Time Reading too – I know I will enjoy reading this TO my children too!
…A fabulous puzzle book that will surely keep both my kids busy this Christmas!
New Years? A good time to go on a family break?

10 Times Getting Laid Got People Killed in Horror Movies
Rule number one for surviving in a horror movie: never have sex.
Thomas Freeman
(Photo: YouTube)
In the classic '90s slasher Scream, the film's most self-aware character, Randy, warns his horny teenage peers about the cardinal rule of surviving a horror film: "You can never have sex. Sex equals death." Of course, none of the characters heed his advice, and all meet their ends in various blood-soaked ways, some with their slit throats and other's with their heads crushed by garage doors.
Other gore fests are less forgiving than Scream. In fact, some of the most intense kills in the history of horror—from the classic Halloween to modern-day masterpiece Snakes on a Plane—go down just as characters are getting it on. Usually they're too caught up in the throes of passion to realize serious shit (the presence of snakes on a plane, for one) is about to go down. That's why it's often only the token virgin who survives.

There was clear alignment between Housing & Urban Development Ministers' aspirations and the Kāinga Strategic Action Plan, which focusses on sustainable opportunities for Māori housing in Tāmaki Makaurau, when the Board met with Ministers in March. The challenge ahead is to turn this positive alignment into concrete outcomes, Chairman David Taipari says.
The Independent Māori Statutory Board (the Board) welcomes the government's announcement of an Urban Development Authority to promote much-needed regeneration of housing in Tāmaki Makaurau and recommends co-governance of the UDA and a Māori Housing Commission with a range of powers and responsibilities for delivering housing outcomes for Māori in Auckland.
The Board is consulting with stakeholders on the Kāinga strategic action plan developed in response to the Auckland Māori Housing Summit in April. The Plan places a cultural lens over housing issues, elevating whānau outcomes above ownership and provides direction to government on improving housing outcomes for Māori.
The Independent Māori Statutory Board welcomes the appointment of the Hon Nanaia Mahuta as Associate Minister of Housing and Urban Development with responsibility for Māori outcomes.


South San Francisco Water Quality Control Plant, based north of the San Francisco International Airport (SFIA) alonxg the San Francisco Bay is a facility that processes wastewater for the cities of South San Francisco, San Bruno, SFIA, Burlingame and Millbrae—collectively the North Bay Side Unit (NBSU) Partners. The WQCP provides primary, secondary, and tertiary water treatment for South San Francisco and San Bruno wastewater, and tertiary treatment for the NBSU partners. These processes produce clean water which is discharged back into the San Francisco Bay.
The treatment of wastewater is an energy intensive process due to the various treatment steps and equipment used, namely: mechanical separation, aeration blowers and large motors for pumping.
The WQCP is an older plant and is operated using a relatively outdated SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system. The management team was interested in determining how to reduce the energy costs associated with wastewater treatment, but the only visibility WQCP had into energy cost was the monthly utility bill. The WQCP struggled without access to key business metrics associated with energy cost to guide their waste water energy cost reduction efforts.
An additional concern was how to measure and appropriately charge the North Bayside Partners for their share of the energy costs relating to their discharge flows of wastewater to the WQCP plant. WQCP accepts wastewater from Burlingame, Millbrae and SFIA for tertiary treatment and manually tracking flows and calculating actual energy costs is time consuming, subjective and prone to human error.
Helio Energy Solutions installed discrete monitoring for the main utility feed, sub panels and cogeneration systems in order to capture energy, power, and the total energy consumption by WQCP.
Flow monitoring was installed at each of the three remote plants: SFIA, Millbrae, and Burlingame. Flow and electric meters were also installed on each effluent discharge pump to measure how much electricity was being used to move processed water to the bay.
Finally, Helio Energy Solutions installed a new weather data logger and incorporated PredictEnergy analytics, utilizing WQCP's existing SCADA data to support planning for rain events.
Kilowatt-hours per million gallons (MG) processed; energy use per unit output.
The cost of the energy based on the actual utility tariff which changes with time of day, day of week, season and peak energy demand; energy cost per unit output.
Comparison analytics against previous day, month, or year's performance.
With the enhanced visualization of PredictEnergy's analytics, plant operators now have visibility into energy use and allocation as well as energy cost. PredictEnergy combines energy analytics with applicable utility rates, enabling plant operators to accurately see current plant efficiency and production. As a result, SSF can now quantify actual energy savings, set new baselines and track efficiency improvements in minutes. PredictEnergy offers critical near real-time information for reducing energy costs at the operator level and calculates the NBSU partners' energy use and energy cost for monthly billing and reconciliation.
With effective visualization of the WQCP plant performance, PredictEnergy enables the processing of wastewater at the lowest cost and creates energy cost savings of nearly 10%. PredictEnergy's analytics platform with near real-time data, provides a level of visibility into plant health never before available, The WQCP has also already identified multiple maintenance items prior to potential failure, that will further reduce costs and eliminate unnecessary downtime.
