Half of all group revenues came from Europe, Middle East and Asia (EMEA) with the Americas representing Mincon’s second most significant market, accounting for 29 per ent of turnover. Revenues in the company’s Australasia division rose from 17 per cent of group turnover to 22 per cent last year.

"It was not by accident that the design looks the way it does, or that it is as simple as it is, that it moves the way it does," Mattson said. "The students worked to that."

"You can continuously drill without stopping," Renouard said. "This is the only human-powered drill that doesn’t require you to dig down and pull up the soil and dump it out and dig back in."

Woskov, a senior research engineer at MIT’s Plasma Science and Fusion Center (PSFC), is using a gyrotron, a specialized radio-frequency (RF) wave generator developed for fusion research, to explore how millimeter RF waves can open holes through hard rock by melting or vaporizing it. Penetrating deep into hard rock is necessary to access virtually limitless geothermal energy resources, to mine precious metals, or explore new options for nuclear waste storage. But it is a difficult and expensive process, and today’s mechanical drilling technology has limitations. Woskov believes that powerful millimeter-wave sources could increase deep hard rock penetration rates by more than ten times at lower cost over current mechanical drilling systems, while providing other practical benefits.

Unfortunately, in a survey in California, 40% of parents believed they had not been provided with enough information about MC to make an informed choice [104]. For parents of boys who were not circumcised, the doctor had not discussed circumcision with them, as opposed to 15% of parents of boys who were circumcised. Twice as many parents would, in retrospect, have wanted their boy to have been circumcised had they known more. After reading information about MC, 86% of parents were in favor of neonatal circumcision [105]. Overall, support was higher among parents born in the USA, but lower among Hispanic parents.

- Operational Excellence – reinforced track record as Group Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate ("LTIFR") decreased from 0.29 to 0.16 year on year, remaining below industry benchmarks. Production and AISC guidance was met or beaten for the 6th consecutive year.

Biographers note that about the time Sharp and Hughes were developing their bit, Hughes had a chance meeting in Louisiana with another inventor trying to improve drilling technology.

Following this, in May 2018, the Excise Department also banned advertising liquor inside the store but has now allowed it on the condition that “the liquor brand or product should not be visible from the entrance of the store”.

Good: Plenty of cards and designs, new focus on legends autographs, mix of modern and retro themes, 60th Anniversary inserts, fair pricing.

It’s far easier to find your way around the TV now that Sony has finally replaced the ageing Cross Media Bar (XMB) with a completely new interface. It’s very responsive and looks much slicker thanks to high-definition graphics and sharp text.

Surface mining equipment from Atlas Copco has a rocksolid reputation for productivity and dependability. The SmartROC D65 DTH mining rig is designed with leading-edge automation technology and uses both brains and power to drill production blast, pre-split and buffer holes. This is the future of open pit mining.

“The exploration industry is cyclical in nature, driven by movements in the commodity prices of base and precious metals. Therefore our focus has always been on the production mining and other market sectors such as waterwell, geothermal and construction drilling, which are less cyclical and provide a more stable platform for the long term success and growth of the business. We are ambitious for further growth,” he added.
