Safety is such a critical part to the mining industry, and the UBC Mine Rescue team is centered around training students to understand and be ready for emergency situations. As a member since 2015 and now the president of the team, I'm grateful for all the training and competitions that I have been able to participate in. My goals for the 2017/2018 year are to expand these great opportunities to more students of the department to ensure that the incoming mining engineers to the industry appreciate the importance of safety, and apply the skillset that they learn to their future work.
Making a career in the mining industry means mine safety will always be a valued part of my life. Being able to learn, train, and practice mine rescue with like-minded friends has been an incredibly rewarding experience, and I am proud of what the UBC Mine Rescue team has accomplished in professional competition over the last 6 years. The skills and values that this program instills in students directly empower the work and success enjoyed by this program's alumni.
I have always been someone to act in any scenario and mine rescue has given me more skills to act. I have participated with the mine rescue team on the jobsite and have practiced first aid in a real life situation which has given me a big appreciation for the team and what it represents.
I want to be able to improve my first aid and emergency skills and learn practical skills that one day might be able to help people in need. Beyond that I want to learn skills that will hopefully one day have a positive affect on my career as well as be involved with a group of like minded people on campus. Finally I'm a competitive individual and enjoy competing in competitive environments and this team gives me the opportunity to compete in something related to my future career.
I first learned about Mine Rescue from my older brother who was involved in the beginnings of the UBC Mine Rescue Team. I am also a person who would be able to help in an event of emergency. This will be my beginning of mine rescue and I hope to continue this throughout my career. Also, I hope to help grow our team for the next incoming team members.
Taylor is a 4th year Mining Engineering student. He was born in the East Kootenays, where he grew up snowboarding and fly fishing. He is this year's graduation representative and has spent the last two years on the UBC Mine Rescue team. Throughout his degree, he has been fortunate enough to work for a total of 12-months at Mount Milligan, and 8-months with Teck, gaining experience in both mineral processing and mine engineering. He has seen the first-hand the benefit of the skills learned while being on the UBC Mine Rescue team, and hopes to continue to learn additional skills upon graduation.
Safety is what keeps the mine industry thriving, present and future. Unfortunate events happen unexpectedly all the time in life. I want to be part of the force first on site to make a difference when these tragedies strike. Being a part of the UBC Mine Rescue team is key to improving my emergency response skills to prepare me for the unexpected throughout my life and career in the mining industry. During the 2017 BC Provincial Mine Rescue & First Aid competition, I've come to know how important it is to have Mining Engineers part of the Mine Rescue team on site in order to apply our knowledge and critical thinking in any high-pressure scenario. I'm very proud to be part of the Mine Rescue community and represent UBC Mine Rescue.
Safety is paramount for the successful realization of value in a challenging operational environment. As a former designated first aid attendant, I can attest to the importance of having a well-trained emergency response program in place to react to situations where barriers to harm have failed and individuals or assets are at risk. I am very happy to be involved with the UBC Mine Rescue Team. I look forward to developing my understanding of mine emergency response skills and protocols for future industry application. I am also very keen on promoting and developing the UBC Mine Rescue Team's prominence as an industry recognized mine emergency response professional development program.
As a new UBC Mining Engineering student, I believe that safety should be at the foundation of everything we learn about the mining industry. Although safe mining practices are emphasized in classes, being part of the Mine Rescue team provides a more tangible understanding of how safety protocol is actually integrated into each aspect of a mine site. Additionally, having Engineers on site as part of an active Mine Rescue team is invaluable; therefore, the training we complete as a team translates into employable skills later on. I'm excited to be developing industry recognized safety skills as part of this unique team and I'm looking forward to building the future of UBCMR.

Gianguan Auctions Breaks World Record for Chinese Contemporary Artist Dr. Yuhua Shouzhi Wang
Pomegranates in Bamboo Basket by Dr. Yuhua Shouzhi Wang. Sold, Gianguan Auctions.
Bamboo Groove (Birthday Offerings) by Zheng Xie (Banqiao) Qing Dynasty. Sold, Gianguan Auctions.
On Monday, March 18, Dr. Yuhua Shouzhi Wang's "Pomegranates in Bamboo Basket" commanded $1,270,000 at Gianguan Auctions. The sale, to one of four bidders in the gallery, set a world record price for the Chinese contemporary artist. The masterpiece led a strong slate of traditional art, porcelains and carved jades, all of which reached or exceeded their pre-sale estimates.
Dr. Wang's framed ink-and-color on paper, 27 X 18 inches, has been called a blending of "realism" and "rejection-of-perspective painting" by Professor Stephen Fasin of the Royal Academy of Art. Its immediate charm lies in the fluidity of line that delivers a naturalistic composition of fruit and green branches as contrast to a monochromatic basket with handle. The work is inscribed "Pomegranates" and has one artist seal. It was painted in the United States. Dr. Wang, formerly a professor at the Humanities College of Auburn University, is currently Acting Curator at the American Museum of International Art in San Francisco, where her works reside in the permanent collection.
Other headliners of the day include "Bamboo Groove" ("Birthday Offerings") by Zheng Xie (Banqiao) (1693-1765) . The scroll painting with two artist seals, dated 1756, and signed Banqiao Zheng Xie, proves the ongoing strength of Qing Dynasty aesthetics at $65,000.
Meanwhile, a modern work entitled "Shrimps" by Qi Baishi (1864-1957) made $60,000. The naturalistic painting of seven free swimmers epitomizes the artist's light-heartedness that modernized the gongbi style of classical Chinese painting.
Ming Dehua figure of seated Guanyin by He Chaozong. Sold, Gianguan Auctions.
A startling work by Wu Changshuo (1844-1927) that set "Peony and Narcissus" atop and at the foot of rockery achieved $42,500.
Among the Buddhist art, a rare a seated Guanyin by He Chaozong, the Ming potter renown for working in the style of the Dehua kilns, brought $40,000. The blanc-de-chine glazed work portrays the deity in dhyanasana on a plinth of lohans and lotus blossoms. Its fingers, raised in abaya mudra, are long and delicately shaped, an indiction of male energy. The eyes and smile exude the serenity of meditation. A distinctive cowl hugs the head and is seemingly unique among similar works by He Chaozong.
Of the decorative porcelains, a deep blue glazed bowl carved in relief with lotus pond motifs in reverse white captured buyers' interest. The 7" wide bowl with an interior center medallion of a boldly painted lotus bouquet and an exterior of fish swimming among fluttering aquatic plants fetched $40,000.
The prices quoted do not include the 18% buyers premium. Complete post-auction results can be viewed by calling up Gianguan Auctions on invaluable.com or liveauctioneers.com.
With a growing international reputation for offering fine Chinese properties and votive art at accessible prices, Gianguan Auctions next scheduled sale will take place in June. To consign, please contact the gallery at info@gianguanauctions. The June catalog will be available at http://www.gianguanauctions.com in mid-May.

Q: How do I retrieve an OWL Datatype Definition using the owl api I do have a bunch of OWLDataRanges which look something like this when the toString-method is used:

DataRangeRestriction(xsd:string facetRestriction(pattern "[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2}[T]{1}[0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}[Z]{1}"^^xsd:string))

What I want is the part in brackets after "facetRestriction". I guess I have to use some visitor pattern, but I don't really understand how they work.
Thanks in advance!

Chateaubriand has been on my restaurant list for a while. My email archive shows that the first time I talked about it with my friends was all the way back in 2009. Ah, those were the days I dreamt about living in Paris. And that email was written ahead of one of my countless trips to Paris. The restaurant visit failed to happen then (I left it too late to make a reservation) and I've been procrastinating since. No more.
The boy and I smartened up last weekend, after he made a timely reservation (2-weeks ahead), and head out towards Parmentier in anticipation of the surprises which we would be served. Menu in Chateaubriand changes daily, with the majority of the dishes set in accordance to what's fresh in the market. Certain amuse-bouches have so far been always featured in the menu, and in the case of desserts, they change every few months.
We were warmly received by an energetic staff who offered us a single sheet of A4 whereupon the menu of the day was printed, and a relatively thick "book" of wine list. Given how little we drink (ok, how little I drink – the downside of possessing too little alcohol dehydrogenase) we sought for advice rather than perusing through and finally ordered something in half bottle (sorry, I don't remember wine name very well either).
The theme of sea produce was prominent in our next two dishes. We were first served cod with seaweed chips. The cod was fresh and very easy to eat, whereas I find the seaweed chips idea innovative. Certainly, these seaweed chips were unlike any that I've had before, which in Asian grocers what's typically available is nori variety of seaweed with some seasoning.
To mark the end of "starters" of our tasting menu, we each had a small bowl of bouillabaisse. It was light but flavoursome, and the ingredients within did not point the dish towards the traditional Provençal way of preparing it. Nonetheless, we both enjoyed all that has been served up so far, while I pondered if there was any way I could ask for a couple more gougères. I chickened out from doing so.
Our first "main" course was a curious plate with leek, seaweed, papada and sea urchin. I never quite figured out what papada was, but online search would suggest that it was a jowl or dewlap or some sort? There were curious squares that were firm jelly-like with a hint of horseradish, and fishroe-like spheres which popped in the mouth too. Definitely an unusual combination of ingredients in a single plate. We were still trying to get over the weirdness when our next course arrived.
On each of our plates was brill that has been beautifully cooked, tandoori style, and seasoned with spices with a delicate touch. There was also some kind of root vegetable served together but I didn't quite catch the name (I really should have requested our waiter to describe the dishes in English rather than braving through my smattering French) but all in all, a dish I'd happily eat a second portion.
The coup de cœur of our evening was the last of the main dishes – spring lamb, prepared 4-ways, served with lamb lettuce, spiced with espellette and freshened up with citrus zest. Each morsel of lamb was succulent and juicy, cooked just right, that I really would love to have more of them. Unfortunately it would have been rude to steal from the boy's plate, and I was sure that he was plotting to steal from mine at the same time, so the plate was cleared in record time. I still dream of this dish. Really.
Sweets came along next. The first of two was not the kind of combination that I would have thought to work, but it did. Vanilla cream, dehydrated mandarin, and rum-soaked white fungus. Half-way in the making of a Chinese dessert if you ask me, but the rum and cream kept it western.
The meal was coming to an end way faster that I was ready for. To cap the meal, we were served tocino del cielo. Literally, bacon from heaven. Worry not, no pig was harm in the making of this sweet dish. A creative version from Chef Aizpitarte comprised of a meringue-base cookie (akin to macaron cookie) topped with caramel and confit egg yolk. And my, to crack into the yolk and had the content oozing out, that was just, amazing. Sorry, I don't have another word for it. I want more, more, more! Unfortunately, as the boy had ordered cheese instead of a second sweet, I had to share this with him. He was lucky that I was in mood to play nice.
Overall, I had a lovely evening filled with gastronomic adventures. The meal ended on high note and as you can see, the more I ate, the more I wanted. The restaurant was not just all hype to me. There were a lot of things that I have never tasted prior to this meal, and anyone who knows me knows that I have eaten in a lot of places and I always order something different.
Price-wise, I thought a menu at €55 was good value for money. Sure, there was no option on what we were served, but they did verify at the start in case there's any food restriction (more in terms of food intolerance rather than catering to picky eaters) that they should be aware of and would try their best to accommodate it. Service was excellent and the staff was friendly.
If only the restaurant is not located quite so far away from where we live… Then again maybe it is a god thing. A closer proximity would only tempt me to dine here more often than I should, and already I have enough trouble keeping away from Pierre Hermé and Sadaharu Aoki that are close to me!

Do you try to just ignore them or weave them into your smiling world?
I certainly do not try to weave them into my world -- I try to limit as much contact as possible. I can't control how people view the world and I believe negative people will rain on your parade and drag you down if you are not careful, so I will limit contact with them.
I think first of all you must not let their negative views bring your spirits down; you must remind yourself to stay and think positive which is not always easy especially if you are around negative people. Another thing to do is try and avoid hanging out with people who tend to always look on the negative side of things, always looking for the negative in a positive situation. These are the kind of people will look at the glass as half empty instead of half full. Negative people can be very draining emotionally dragging us down into a negative mindset if we allow it. I say stay away from those who are always giving off the negative vibes and look for more positive people to hang with. I guarantee you will get a natural high from being surrounded by positive people. These people will encourage you not discourage you! Remember think Positive and Have a Great Day!
I simply react just as negative if not more negative than the person. That way, I multiply a negative by a negative and get a positive. Basic math, folks.
I try to avoid negative people but even the people you are friends with can be negative at times, which is only human nature. I found that the best way to deal with them, is to change your attitude towards them. Your attitude can make a great impact in your relationship with them. Try to spin things positively but do not be fake.
However, if things do not really work out for you. I guess you have to avoid them!
It depends on who the person is. If it is a stranger, you can casually humor them and move on to more positive people. If it is a family member you can suggest that we take the energy up. If they don't want to do that, then find the nearest exit. Basically, detachment is the key. I am responsible for my inner world. My happiness depends totally on myself. Since most people are not aware of the fact that their thoughts are the cause of their highs and lows, they will talk about anything. They will listen to anything. Once you become aware of your own thoughts and feelings, you can decide which thoughts to entertain. When dealing with negative people, you can also change the subject. Just lead the conversation in a new direction.
Well there are always some reasons behind the negative thoughts, attitudes ..
Human mind is tempted more towards the wrong things. Its natural.
So if you think you are good enough to correct ones thoughts then you must make a try. You should erase the negative thoughts from his minds and let him to give way to positive thoughts.
However if you do not care and those negative thoughts aren't any source of trouble for you then you can also avoid them.
Usually people try to avoid such members of the society. Whereas being a good human we should try at least once to get them corrected .
I try to avoid toxic people as much as humanly possible. There is no doubt that their negativity affects those around them. I try not to smile at them either, although if it comes to a choice between smiling and letting them believe they got under my skin, then I'll smile.
I try to avoid smiling at them because I believe it falsely states that their way of approaching interactions is okay by me. At some point they must recognize that it's time to upgrade their outlook somewhat.
How do you identify a toxic person?
If they are expressing their negativity in my direction, I admit to myself that they are acting that way for a reason. It may or may not be my fault they are feeling so foul. Most likely they are upset for reasons outside of your control, and responding or criticizing their negativity only further upsets them.
Depending on the situation and relation to the negative individual, I find that avoiding the person is probably the best course of action.
I have been accused by more than one person of being negative. I do not believe I am negative, I am just not agreeable to every idea, suggestion or plan that I hear.
At my last job, we were planning a reception to be held in the backyard of our office. I asked "what's the rain plan." I was told I was being negative.
My old boss had idea for a guest speaker for our annual meeting. He was a former oil exec who was making a lot of speeches. He had a contract with a company for arranging his bookings and that contract prohibits any freebees. I remarked that I was pretty sure the speaker was under contract. "There you go being negative."
When a co-worker, higher pay grade, made a suggestion, I pointed out a few problems (he wanted members to call our office and give us their credit card numbers so we could book their hotel rooms.) with the plan he had developed. Again, I was labeled as a negative person.
So how do you deal with me.
You ask me a question, expect an honest answer and not necessarily the answer you wanted.
You can ask my opinion on an issue, I may disagree with you. Because you know you are right, that means I am being negative.
When I talk about gun control, the First Amendment, and conflicts in the constitution and you do not agree. It means I am negative.
I have stated publicly many times, I am not an yes man. I told my former boss, who told me he did not want to hear about what was done before he arrived, that since I retained the institutional knowledge of the association, I would tell him what we did and if it worked or not. That would not mean I was opposing his plan. It just meant I was giving him more information. I also promised that by the end of the day, I would have completed the project the way he wanted it done, regardless of my personal opinion.
So the answer is that if you want to deal with me and those like me, to please listen to what we have to say and at least respect the concept that my view may be different from yours and I could be right or I could be wrong, but at least I was offering an opinion, an idea or some input.
Great answer. It's very unfortunate that thinking, truth-telling people are crudely labelled as negative when they should be considered resources.
Great answer. You are brutally honest. I can respect that. I think a negative person is looking to criticize or be negative intentionally.
Hi Larry, What i feel is like you must be given the first chance to present any idea so as to get your idea painted on other's mind to avoid conflicts. I feel like you have the habit of considering both sides of the coin, which is good.
I agree with Man of Strength. A negative person is one who intentionally goes out of her way to beat someone up and personally attack them. You are not that, Larry.
Put as much distance between you and him/her as possible. Then send them love. Tell yourself that you love them. It's important to keep yourself in the feeling of love and not hate so that their negativity does not affect you.
If it's a family member or workmate, and you can't create a physical separation, you can still maintain an attitude separation. Focus on yourself and maintain your positive attitude. Keep a feeling of love for that person, acknowledging that he is a fellow human soul, albeit maybe a little ignorant of certain things at this time. Give him the benefit of the doubt.
Eventually, your positivity will either rub off on him and he will improve, or it will repel hem and he will be gone.
First we need to understand that "its only the time that makes people go negative and they are no negative people!!"
the biggest open secret is "when are wrong we forgive and go ahead but when others are wrong we just stick on..!!"
we just need to focus on the value of human and go ahead..
everyone at some point go negative.. no one is an exception.!!
a little change in our mind would make things back!!
* ignoring will make people much depressed.
It's definitely difficult dealing with negative people. As an upbeat positive person, as well as one who is sensitive, a negative person can have much impact on the spirit of that person. Even though a positive person can try to influence the negative person just the same, the negative usually wins which is unfortunate. Some people are just not happy or content with themselves, and they want to parade on others to bring them down to the valley of despair as well.
Personally, I have always tried to seek the best out of negative people in past years. All it brought me was grief. As I'm older now, I have learned to avoid these people like the plague. Killing them with kindness and walking away is the best I can do to save myself.
What are your strategies for coping with negativity?
How do you deal with negative people in your life?

Dartmouth College Student With Local Ties Wins Prestigious Academic Award
Marissa Stern
Dartmouth College student Cameron Isen, an Ardmore native, won the Jewish Academic Innovation Award for his in-depth, intelligent research paper on the relationship between secular wisdom in Jewish theology.
In between working toward a double major in classics and economics at Dartmouth College, Cameron Isen found time to write an in-depth, intelligent research paper on the relationship between secular wisdom in Jewish theology.
And it paid off. Isen, an Ardmore native, won the Jewish Academic Innovation Award for his work on Feb. 7.
Isen, 19, presented his work to a panel and a group of nine other finalists from across the country at the Sinai Scholars Academic Symposium in Carlsbad, Calif., an annual event that centers on a theme. This year's was "Sinaitic Wisdom for the Modern Age."
This was ideal for Isen, who had been interested in the subject since reading two books by Saul Lieberman — Hellenism in Jewish Palestine: Studies in the Literary Transmission, Beliefs and Manners of Palestine in the I century B.C.E.-IV Century C.E.; and Greek in Jewish Palestine: Studies in the Life and Manners of Jewish Palestine in the II-IV centuries C.E. — during his senior year of high school at The Hill School in Pottstown.
"More or less," he said, "what happened was, I was familiar with a book on the influence of Hellenism and Greek wisdom on Second Temple-era Judaism." He was on a fellowship to Israel when a rabbi on the trip gave him the books, which are frequently referenced in his research paper, to read.
"I was trying to come up with an excuse to write a paper on the topic for a while," he acknowledged. "I didn't really have a proper avenue through which to pursue it."
After Rabbi Moshe Gray, co-director of the Chabad at Dartmouth, told him about the Sinai Scholars program and encouraged him to participate, Isen was given the chance to explore the subject.
"We are so proud of Cameron for receiving this prestigious award," said Gray. "I was excited to see that the incredible amount of work he put into his impressive paper was recognized. The entire Dartmouth community can be extremely proud of this devoted young man."
The topic itself had a personal significance for Isen, who started connecting with Judaism more after getting involved with Chabad in Chester County in high school. Today, he is much more observant and keeps kosher while studying at a secular school.
"To some extent, this was an attempt to navigate my way through that struggle and dissonance," he said.
During the spring of last year, he participated in the Sinai Scholars program through Dartmouth, which included classes, a Shabbat dinner and a field trip.
In addition to working with Gray, whom Isen called an "exceedingly influential" person in his life and a catalyst behind participating, he was paired with a mentor to work on his paper, Rabbi Shlomo Yaffe.
His research explored everything from Talmudic passages to Maimonides and his beliefs about secular education.
"An analysis of the past can, however, shed light on the present," Isen wrote in the introduction of his paper. "For this reason, my paper will examine the permissibility of secular study for a Torah-observant Jew through a historical lens. Beginning with the Talmudic rabbis and concluding with modern interpretations, I will argue that secular wisdom has positively influenced Torah study while examining arguments both for and against its study in general."
It's basically taking a look at how secular wisdom influenced Jewish theology, he explained, "and how those ideas permeated the line of Jewish religion and also how it informed some Jewish legal decision-making."
His paper, he was told by the panelists, was a good introduction to the subject and his mentor suggested he continue on with his research in a longer format, perhaps as a book. Though, as he is only a sophomore now, "I have a lot of other stuff to do before then," Isen laughed.
However, he said, it is definitely a topic he wants to look further into at some point, perhaps when he is not also buried under homework and balancing a full course load, which was the biggest challenge he faced in doing the research paper.
"It's definitely an issue I'm going to continue exploring because I need to, and something I'm interested in," he said. "As somebody who tries to use Torah as a moral basis for his life, I think it's an important issue, especially because I go to a secular college that doesn't have a lot of Jewish life in it."
He enjoyed listening to the other finalists' presentations and being introduced to topics he might not have looked further into before, such as modesty and connections between Maimonides and Nietzsche — which was the topic California State University student Shlomit Ovadia, who co-won with Isen, presented.
"Even when we weren't presenting, we got to spend time together and talk about these issues," he said. "It was a pleasure to be a part of."
The weekend also included a Shabbaton prior to the symposium, which included Isen along with more than 250 students from other schools on the West Coast. For him, the experience was not all about winning — though that was a nice perk.
"It's really nice I now have people I can consider friends that I got out of this process — that's really what matters in the end."

My presentation today, which was dropped four days ago, is still #BRAND NEW MUSIC! I just love it! It has a smooth catchy tune with a great video presentation featuring Chris Brown. I am going to recommend this litterly HOT #Musicvideo premiered by Asher Monroe, an American singer, songwriter and musician from Arlington County, VA. His music genre is Pop, R&B/Soul and Reggae. The song I am going to feature tonight is titled "Memory ft. Chris Brown"(2). The video was uploaded on YouTube, Feb 13, 2014 by AsherMonroeMusicVEVO.
You are the first and last thing I think about each morning and evening. It is more than just memories. It's my love Sugar!

Q: How to Add a shared folder location to my application (Docker) I have a shared network folder, e.g.
\\pa02ptsdfs002.corp.lgd.afk\files\Public\chris\temp

There is a file in the shared folder that I would like to be visible to my dockerized application. The ultimate goal is, to have my application pick up and process this file, then put it into a database.
I have a Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml that I am thinking I will need to add a volume with the shared folder location (I'm not sure if this is the correct approach, this is where I need help!)
So far I've tried adding a volume in my yml which threw an error when i did docker-compose up -d
    airflow:
        build: ./airflow
        image: digitalImage/airflow
        container_name: di-airflow
        environment:
            AIRFLOW__CORE__EXECUTOR: 'LocalExecutor'
            POSTGRES_USER: 'airflowStuff'
            POSTGRES_PASSWORD: 'postgresCreds'
            POSTGRES_HOST: 'host-postgres'
            POSTGRES_PORT: '5432'
            POSTGRES_DB: 'postgres-db'
            DATE_VALUE: '1 DEC 2020 00:00:00'
        volumes:
            - ./airflow/released_dags:/usr/local/airflow/dags
            - \\pa02ptsdfs002.corp.lgd.afk\files\Public\chris\temp:/usr/local/airflow/dags/inboundFiles
        networks:
            - di-airflowStuff
        ports:
            - 8081:8080
        depends_on:
            - postgres

ERROR: Cannot create container for service airflow: \pa02ptsdfs002.corp.lgd.afk\files\Public\chris\temp%! (EXTRA string=is not a valid Windows path)
p.s. I can access this shared folder location from my file explorer and python without a problem.

A: You don't need docker-compose to mount an external volume to your container, just configure it when running the container:
docker run --name name -v path_host:path_in_container image:tag

both directories must exist

A: Microsoft recomends mapping shares to network drives (if you're running docker on Windows):
