Rescuers in race against time to save boy (2) who fell in borehole | Borehole Hammer

The machine was the first drill rig capable of drilling at an angle making it ideally suited for block drilling.  Booysen Bore was so impressed with the ROC L8’s performance that they decided to keep the machine for blast-hole drilling on the mine and to systematically replace all their non-Atlas Copco drill rigs at the end of their life cycle with ROC L8s.”

Gebald and Wurzbacher seem less assured about the future of global policy than on the mechanics of scaling up. Some of that, they made clear, was related to their outlook as engineers, to what they’ve gathered from observing companies like Audi and Apple. If the last century has proved anything, it’s that society is not always intent on acting quickly, at least in the political realm, to clean up our environment. But we’ve proved very good at building technology in mass quantities and making products and devices better and cheaper — especially when there’s money to be made. For now, Gebald and Wurzbacher seemed to regard the climate challenge in mathematical terms. How many gigatons needed to be removed? How much would it cost per ton? How many Climeworks machines were required? Even if the figures were enormous, even if they appeared impossible, to see the future their way was to redefine the problem, to move away from the narrative of loss, to forget the multiplying stories of dying reefs and threatened coastlines — and to begin to imagine other possibilities.

In practice, the pain associated with medical MC is far less than men anticipate, and many are not aware that local anesthesia is recommended. In the large RCTs, severe pain was reported in only 0.8% of 1,568 participants in the South African trial [56], 0.3% of 2,326 HIV-negative men and 0.2% of 420 HIV positive men in the Ugandan trial [120], and in the Kenyan trial, of 1,334 men, "very mild" pain was reported in 52% at postoperative day 3 and 11% at day 8, with none of the men reporting pain more severe than "very mild" [57]. In a small trial of the "Shang Ring" device used to circumcise 40 men, pain scores (graded from 0 = no pain to 10 = worst possible pain) averaged 3.5 during erections [121]. Since erections would place the most tension on the wound during healing, erections likely contribute maximally to pain scores.

The Kalanako MRE is constrained by a conceptual (Whittle) pit based on a gold price of US$1,500/oz, mining cost of US$2.00/t, processing and G&A cost of US$21 for oxide, US$26 for transition and US$25 for fresh, 92 % gold recovery and a pit slope of 40o.

Similar doubts surround India’s scheme to “interlink” 37 rivers through a network of 15,000km of canals, the ultimate aim being, as in China, to move water from well-endowed regions—such as some of the Himalayan foothills in the north—to areas of scarcity. The plan has been discussed for decades. The current government has tried to give it fresh impetus. But even if it forges a political consensus in Delhi behind the plan, it would be hard to realise because of tensions between different states over water.

Vanessa and her crew scrambled to inspect the earth underneath the rig. She had to deliver the bad news to the treasure-hunting team that the oscillator had to be shut down because the borehole was caving in on itself.

My initial impression is that this is a game more concerned with action and light strategy than making crafting and construction an overly finnicky process. I remember bouncing off From The Depths (another mechanically minded sandbox) as it wanted me to construct my ship from the basic blocks upwards, right down to assembling my own engine by hand. This is a game where you decide how many engines you want, stuff them full of coal and ride off into the ash-dimmed sunset in search of your pyroclastic foe.

In parallel to working on the Kalana Feasibility Study and further testing of exploration potential, Endeavour intends to review its other available internal growth opportunities. Based on Endeavour’s capital allocation strategy, the Kalana project investment case will be reviewed against its other internal growth opportunities and uses of capital.

Production totaled 115koz, achieving the bottom-end of the guided 115-130koz range, while the AISC finished above the guided range at $1,369/oz.

The mood brightens when Dan Blankenship arrives on site. Will the patriarch of the dig bring the team some desperately needed good luck? The 95-year old has spent five decades trying to solve the Oak Island mystery, and he has passed on his wealth of information to the team.
