Review: Waves
Posted on January 27, 2020 January 31, 2020 by Peter Cox
Director: Trey Edward Shults
Stars: Taylor Russell, Kelvin Harrison, Jr., Alexa Demie
Cast your mind back seven (!) years or so, and some of you might well remember the hard-swerve encountered while watching Derek Cianfrance's The Place Beyond The Pines, a film which very suddenly revealed itself to be episodic in nature, and whose focal character became something of a recurring hand-off. Cianfrance fumbled the ball in that instance, but his film springs to mind while watching Trey Edward Shults' Waves. Not because Shults pulls off the same trick with greater panache; rather because you can see his play coming a mile off.
Tyler (Kelvin Harrison, Jr.) is in school and wants to be a professional wrestler. His dad, Ronald (Sterling K Brown), applies a lot of pressure in this regard, making Tyler even more reluctant to confront the weakness in his shoulder. His girlfriend Alexis (Alexa Demie) is late on her period, too. Increasingly, it seems as though the future he wants isn't the future he's going to get, and Tyler's frustration at this pushes him to make a series of exceedingly poor decisions.
The path to this inevitable moment feels like a test. As Tyler spirals, Shults point-blank refuses to do anything to make the lad worth championing. Waves feels like a movie about the tragedy of angry young men (not an untimely theme for American cinema) and in kind follows a path both contrived and wearily predictable. In the act of watching it feels like a game of chicken between the audience and the director. Is Shults daring us to give up? An act of violence cuts the film in half and Shults (in an act as blunt as any other here) switches aspect ratios to accentuate the demarcation.
The second half of the film finds another focus; Tyler's sister Emily (Taylor Russell). Now feeling ostracised from her peers, Emily reacts with suspicion when one of Tyler's fellow wrestlers, Luke (Lucas Hedges), shows interest in her. Reeling from a recent shock, Emily must decide how much she is prepared to let her guard down as life at home slowly implodes.
When the trailers for A24's latest offering appeared in select cinemas, it was difficult to know what to make of it. A picturesque, lilting, Florida-set love letter to… something? At it's most reductive it looked very post-Moonlight; kind of generically poetic. But the slipperiness of that wasn't reassuring, as though not even its promoters knew what to make of it. Or that something was being held back.
Well, yes, of course something was being held back and that was the point. Waves is a tricky one. For all it's exotic flourishes of colour and Malick-lite wonder, its a tremendously arduous film to watch. It doesn't give you a good time, not in any traditional sense. And the very vagueness of its title and promotion only comes into clarity as the art itself wriggles in your grasp.
Shults is prone to some very overt gestures. Let's talk about the source music for a moment. His pointed needle-drops are distracting. One almost gets the sense that he would rather you investigate his Spotify account than his film. Their sledgehammer appearance becomes something of a calling card. See also a penchant from fast-roaming camerawork that seems pilfered from Paul Thomas Anderson's Magnolia, but which here lacks a clear sense of purpose. At other times he simple sets the camera whirling in circles; a restless approach that suggests an over-stimulated dog's lack of direction and an internal struggle to wrestle the picture into coherence.
The film tentatively becomes about trying to make the best out of a bad lot; of achieving grace in spite of things. Ronald tells his son that they will always have to work twice as hard to achieve anything in the world, and the unspoken pressure point in the conversation is race. That everything about the modern African American experience is set within parentheses. That even a seemingly affluent middle class family are burdened by the connotation that they're second class citizens. Waves amounts to a messy melodrama balanced on the shoulders of siblings. It is a self-conscious and pained experience about a self-conscious and pained experience.
Russell, good in last year's creative horror yarn Escape Room, raises her game here, marking herself out as someone to keep check on over the next few years. Brown, meanwhile, genuinely surprises in a scene he shares with young Russell flanked by a thermos flask and fishing gear.
The second half of the film places the first in greater context. The bubble of Tyler's downward trajectory becomes just that; something that we can now look at from a remove. Another perspective. It also places emphasis on the bubble itself; a neat reminder that other worlds exist outside of the sphere of our own crises. When our bubbles burst, the fallout can be far reaching. Waves ripple out and, if we're lucky, there's some good mixed in with the bad. The same can be said of Shults' film overall.
I admire this sometimes chaotic act of expression. It is, at the very least, a bolder, more idiosyncratic stab at audience derailment than Cianfrance's.

"On August 13, 1961, a wall was erected down the middle of the city of Berlin. The world was divided by a cold war, and the Berlin Wall was the most hated symbol of that divide. Reviled, graffitied, spit upon — we thought the wall would stand forever. And now that it's gone, we don't know who we are anymore. Ladies and gentlemen, Hedwig is like that wall! Standing before you in the divide between East and West, slavery and freedom, man and woman, top and bottom! And you can try and tear her down, but before you do, you must remember one thing ...."
Hedwig and the Angry Inch was a 1998 off-Broadway rock opera by Stephen Trask and John Cameron Mitchell, adapted into a film in 2001 with Mitchell in the title role.
The story follows Hedwig Robinson, who at first appears to be a transgender woman. She's the head of the "internationally ignored" nouveau glam rock band The Angry Inch. They play in a string of failing seafood restaurants to small, hostile crowds, while stalking the much more successful rock and roll icon Tommy Gnosis. Tommy — as Hedwig explains to her audience — stole her songs. There's much resentment within the band, particularly between Hedwig and her aspiring drag queen husband Yitzhak.
Hedwig retells her life story to her few fans, of being born in East Germany and listening to the "crypto-homo-rockers" of the 70's on American Forces Radio. Of how she made her way to the States and gained her titular angry inch. As Hedwig struggles to unite her male and female side — just when the city of Berlin is struggling to reunite itself — she discovers there's much more to unite in her identity: the east and the west, the grownup and the child, the old and the new.
Hedwig draws frequent comparisons to The Rocky Horror Picture Show and has garnered a similar cult following. The story draws heavily from both classical mythology and from the glam rock scene while providing new takes on gender and sex in pop culture.
The original Off-Broadway run won a number of awards including at the 1998 Outer Critics Circle and the 1998 Obie Awards.
In 2014, Neil Patrick Harris and Lena Hall won Tony awards for their performances in the Broadway revival of the same year. The show itself took home prizes for Best Revival and Best Lighting Design, as well as nominations for Best Direction of a Musical, and Scenic, Costume, and Sound Designs. Andrew Rannells replaced Harris in the title role through October 2014, followed by Michael C. Hall. In late January 2015, John Cameron Mitchell returned to the role and was awarded the Special Tony Award later that year for his "outstanding success" in the role. Darren Criss and Taye Diggs also played Hedwig during the show's Broadway run in 2015. Notable actors who have portrayed Hedwig off-Broadway include Jerick Hofer (better known as Jinkx Monsoon), Sven Ratzke, and Oh Man-seok.
No relation to a certain snowy owl. Though Tara Gilesbie seems to think there is.
Contains the following tropes:
Abusive Parents: Hedwig's father. Hansel's mother is somewhat better but makes him play in the oven and throws tomatoes at him, which becomes a bit of a Brick Joke later. It's implied that there is tension between Tommy and his father General Speck, but it's not elaborated on.
All for Nothing: The lengths Hansel goes to in order to leave Germany end up for naught. He ends up stuck with a botched surgery, Luther leaving him a year after they marry and the Berlin Wall collapsing.
All Musicals Are Adaptations: Sort of. The film is an adaptation of the stage show, while the stage show grew out of a rock band/drag club act that John Cameron Mitchell started when he got annoyed that all drag performers just lip-synced to records.
Ambiguous Gender: Yitzhak is played by a woman. The only unambiguous aspect of Yitzhak's gender is that they want to be feminine, but Hedwig forces them to dress as a man because she felt threatened by how good Yitzhak's drag act was.
Ambiguous Gender Identity: Just what gender Hedwig identifies as is debatable, though she tends to lean towards female pronouns etc rather than male ones. The sex change operation was for convenience in escape not because Hansel wanted to be a woman, but by the time we 'meet' Hedwig during the show she seems to identify more as a woman than a man - most noticeable in the way she refers to Hansel with male pronouns, but to her present self with female ones. Word of God says that she is not specifically transgender, but something outside the gender binary.
Anachronism Stew: The stage show started around 1998 and ran for several years Off Broadway. The film was released in 2001. The date of Hedwig's wedding and emigration to the US is 1988 and her marriage collapsed around the same time as the Berlin Wall in 1989. From there it becomes more vague. Hedwig's time in the trailer park takes place in the early 1990s, although (perhaps because they're homemade) the clothes seem to be straight out of The '70s and The '80s. There's also no mention of when she met her bandmates, including Yitzhak, although the deleted scene hints that it's around the time of the Bosnian War (early 1990s). Made even more vague with the Broadway revival, which updates the story to set it in a Broadway theatre the night after ''Hurt Locker: The Musical'' closes.
Hedwig's clothes look outdated because of how little income she has and a likely dependence on second hand shops for her wardrobe.
Anguished Declaration of Love: Tommy as he runs out the backdoor.
"I love you! I love you!"
"Then love the front of me, honey! Love the—"
Apology Gift: Tommy apologizing to Hedwig in "Wicked Little Town Reprise" explaining that he was "just a boy and you were so much more/ than any god could ever plan/ more than a woman or a man/ and now I understand how much I took from you" and in turn giving her the ability to finally see herself as whole.
Hedwig giving Yitzhak her wig
Tommy says his guitar is this from his father.
Artist and the Band
Author Appeal: Mitchell is a Radical Faerie , and most of his works explore gender and sexuality as constructs.
Back-Alley Doctor / Easy Sex Change: Hedwig gets a fast, cheap, and completely illegal shady operation. But because of this, the surgery became botched, leaving Hedwig with the titular "angry inch".
Big Bad Friend: Tommy pillages all of Hedwig's music and discards her faster than you can say "plagiarist."
Bilingual Bonus: "Gummi" is German slang for condom. The gummi bears, as a symbol for the power of adulthood, freedom, and sex, are extremely sexually loaded as are the rest of the candies mentioned in the song Sugar Daddy.
Cerebus Call-Back: Compare the intonation of "I was born on the other side/of a town ripped in two" in Tear Me Down vs Exquisite Corpse.
Crossover Cosmology: The Origin of Love features Zeus, Thor, Osiris, and some Indian god. They're all dicks.
Deadpan Snarker: Hedwig.
Destructive Romance: "I'll marry you on the condition that a wig never touch your head again. And we've been inseparable ever since, isn't that right, Yitzhak?"
Double-Meaning Title: The Angry Inch of the film is either the name of the band or the fact that Hansel's botched surgery didn't remove all of his penis, hence leaving with an angry "inch".
Drag Queen: Yitzhak/Krystal
Dude Looks Like a Lady: "Hansel, I can't believe you're not a girl."
Erotic Eating: "And a giant sized Sugar Daddy named Luther..."
Epic Rocking: '"Angry Inch," 'Midnight Radio''.
Establishing Character Moment: The first four seconds of the movie perfectly nail down exactly who Hedwig is by having her walk confidently to the allyway entrance of a building while dressed to the nines, then toss her umbrella aside as she enters as if she expects someone to catch it for her.
Everybody Wants the Hermaphrodite: Hedwig becomes a sex symbol.
False Soulmate: Luther? Tommy? Yitzhak? Who is Hedwig's missing half?
Foreshadowing: In "Sugar Daddy," Hedwig (then Hansel) tells Luther, "If you buy me the dress, I'll be more woman than a man like you can stand." A year after their marriage, Luther leaves Hedwig for a man.
Gainax Ending: The final number of the show involves an extreme costume change, in which Hedwig appears to turn into Tommy. Did Tommy come to the theater? Is Hedwig Tommy? Does Tommy really exist? Does Hedwig? Is Hansel singing to WLTR to Hedwig? Hard to say, though the creators seem to lean towards Tommy and Hedwig both being real, separate people!
Gallows Humor
Gave Up Too Soon: Hedwig leaping to escape East Germany instead of waiting another year for the wall to collapse ends with her dumped by Luther on their anniversary.
Goth: Skzsp
Hooker with a Heart of Gold: Hedwig jokes about when she had to prostitute herself to survive.
"I returned to doing odd jobs. Mostly the jobs we call blow. I had lost my job at the Base PX and I had lost my gag reflex. You do the math!"
"I Am" Song: "Tear Me Down"
"I'm the new Berlin Wall, baby! Try and tear me down!"
And later "Wig in a Box"
"Look at the woman I've become."
Incredibly Lame Pun: Hansel delivered what he called a "brilliant lecture" on rock 'n' roll and East German philosophy entitled "You Kant Always Get What You Want." Extended in the revival with the subtitle "But If You Try Sometime, You Might Get What You Nietzche."
"I Want" Song: "Origin of Love" is a subtle one, establishing Hedwig's desire to find her "other half." "Wig in a Box" also describes the women she wants/pretends to be while wearing various wigs.
Jerkass: Hedwig again. Her treatment of Yitzhak is outright psychological abuse. She's a Jerkass Woobie if ever there was one.
Jesus Was Way Cool: "Have you accepted Jesus Christ as your personal lord and savior?" "No, but I love his work."
Killed Offscreen: The fate of Phyllis Stein, Hedwig's unseen manager (portrayed by Andrea Martin in the film), after Mitchell returned to the role for the Broadway production. About two-thirds into the show, Mitchell's Hedwig launched into a rather absurd monologue about how Phyllis died during a "routine face transplant". Subsequent Hedwigs do not give this monologue, but do refer to Phyllis as their "late" manager.
Lust Object: Tommy in-canon
Medium Blending: Several animated segments, especially prominent in "Origin of Love." Also notable in the transition between "Angry Inch" and "Wig in a Box".
Mind Screw: The ending, of the film especially.
Mrs. Robinson: Hedwig initiates a relationship with then-17-year-old Tommy when she is at least thirty.
As an added bonus, when Hedwig married Luther Robinson, she took his last name—therefore, she really is a Mrs. Robinson.
Mythpunk: The heart and soul of the story.
Punny Name: Phyllis Stein, the band's manager. Also Yitzhak's original stage name (which also Crosses the Line Twice), Krystal Nacht.
Radio Song: "Midnight Radio."
Rage Against the Heavens: "Origin of Love" has a lot of elements of this.
"...like two pieces of a puzzle that don't quite fit together but are jammed together and left on a table by... (railing at the heavens)... some dangerous shut-in with too much time on his hands!"
Recursive Crossdressing: When Yitzhak finally gets his "dream" of becoming a drag queen. The role is traditionally played by a woman dressed as a man, who reverts to dressing as a woman/drag queen at the end of the show.
Reincarnation Romance: The subject of "Origin of Love", adapted from Plato's Symposium, is how men and woman (and men and men and women and women) were once joined together as one person and the gods cut them in half for hubiris; love therefore comes from meeting your past-life other half.
Sad Clown: In the stage play, Hedwig has a running joke going on where she asks her audience if she's laughing or crying. It becomes clear after a while that she's grinning so hard because if she'd ever give into crying, she'd pretty much kill herself.
"I laugh because I will cry if I don't."
"And then there were the crypto homo rockers: Lou Reed, Iggy Pop, David Bowie...."
"Here's to Patti, and Tina, and Yoko, Aretha, and Nona (Hendryx), and Nico and me."
The entire song is a fairly obvious tribute to Rock 'n' Roll Suicide.
"Wig in a Box" directly references La Vern Baker and uses some of her style.
Hedwig shouts "Tommy, can you hear me?" when talking about Tommy Gnosis.
The 2014 Broadway Revival adds references to David Belasco, John Barrymore, Marlon Brando, Tim Curry and Mark Rylance as well as a slew of shoutouts to shows that had previously played at the Belasco before Hedwig's "special one night only performance."
Team Mom: Phyllis, Hedwig's manager in the film.
Unsettling Gender-Reveal: Luther initially takes the sunbathing Hansel for a girl. Hansel corrects him somewhat dramatically.
Unusual Euphemism: "My bishop in a turtleneck." Used once more in the stage show, after which Hedwig congratulates herself on a successful running gag.
White Void Room: During the song "Midnight Radio" in the film.
Word Salad Lyrics: Several verses in "Exquisite Corpse." Some stanzas are coherent ("I'm all hollowed out, covered in a paper shroud and all the rest's illusion"), but then you get this verse:
A random pattern with a needle and thread
The overlapping way diseases are spread to
A tornado body with a hand grenade head
And the legs are two lovers entwined!
Of course, word salad is what an exquisite corpse is supposed to be. A coherent one actually ruins the point of the exercise.

MINER's (Not Necessarily) Digging the Dirt
The mining of stone and metal or removal of minerals from the Earth has been done since prehistoric times.
The mining industry doesn't have the greatest reputation for taking care of the planet. Historically the track record for humans working in or near mines hasn't been particularly favourable either (although conditions are better in some countries than others).
One could be forgiven for assuming that mining and meaningful implementation of environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles remain worlds apart.
In this blog, we're discussing why and how resource extraction is the dirtiest business on the planet (or at least one of them) and how The Miner Network helps to solve this by reducing digging and increasing environmental accountability.
First we need to explore what the current environmental and social issues are in the mining sector. At present in the face of astronomical mining profits, most mining companies don't meaningfully address social and ecological damages, as these values don't generally appear in the profit-and-loss columns of business balance sheets.
That's all about to change.
Secondly, we'll look at how an emerging mining organisation is creating the mining new normal by fully addressing and embracing these social and environmental values which 100% underlie it.
A joint report dated 23 September, 2020, from the Responsible Mining Foundation and the Columbia Center on Sustainable Investment at Columbia University concludes that:
"…as a whole, the mining sector is falling short of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals, or SDGs, a common metric related to ESG themes."
The mining sector is falling short of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals
These goals range broadly from creating and maintaining humane living and working conditions to education, equality, sustainability, and climate action.
From Personal Needs to Planetary Respect, From People to Place
Although mining organisations aspire to (and pay lip service to) applying environmental, social, and governance principles, in reality, mining is still a long way off from effecting real and significant ESG-related changes.
There is one quietly-spoken organisation out there, making massive waves, creating an industry-first initiative in the mining sector. One that really does put people and planet before profit, and is still profitable…
What Is Resource Extraction?
Resource extraction refers to the activities involved in removing or withdrawing non-renewable resources or materials from the natural environment that can't be obtained through agricultural or synthetic processes.
Ultimately this kind of extraction changes that environment, often with devastating results such as the generation of toxic compounds. Once these byproducts have escaped into the wild, their extreme heavy metal toxicity contaminates lifeforms and ecosystems, often with lethal outcomes.
Efforts to minimise this kind of damage can be challenging as traditionally, most value metrics are weighed in economic yields and not in terms of planetary longevity.
There can also be a huge amount of waste material from simply gaining access to the ore underground, before it's even extracted.
This process of access and extraction constitutes the basis of mining.
What Is the Mining Process?
There are two basic types of excavation involved in the mining process:
i. Surface, and
ii. Underground mining.
Surface vs. underground mining
Mineable materials fall into two basic categories within these excavation types:
placer deposits (river beds, beach sands, and other granular matter)
lode deposits (veins, earth and rock layers, larger rock formations)
i. Surface mining
Surface mining constitutes the most common form of mining in modern times. Techniques include:
strip mining: removing/stripping surface vegetation, dirt and rocky layers to reach the 'overburden' or mineral deposits sought

open pit mining: removal of rock and/or minerals from the earth in an expanding open hole until mineral resources are exhausted or mining is no longer economically feasible

"We're only beginning to scratch the surface of what's down there. The loss of biodiversity due to mining activities will be inevitable and permanent on a human scale, as nodules take millions of years to form…"
~ Matthew Gianni, cofounder of the Deep Sea Conservation Coalition
ii. Underground mining
Underground (subsurface) mining is not as common now as surface mining, and involves accessing mineral deposits via vertical shafts and horizontal tunnels, with the aim of maintaining surface bedrock and accessing ore from far deeper below.
Stoping is a large-scale mining method using techniques including:
room and pillar mining: removing minerals/ore, leaving roof structural support
longwall mining: a long wide horizontal edge of the ore face is removed
cut and fill mining: tunnels are filled with waste materials once ore is removed
block and sublevel caving: where weight of overlying rock formation creates pressure and fractures ore deposits underneath

What Are Some of the Processes of Gold Resource Extraction?
While processing methods have evolved over time since the first recorded smelting of gold around 6000-3000BC in Mesopotamia or Syria, we can still assume, sadly, that most still entail chemical and destructive treatments which poison both the planet and people.
Photo by Ivan Bandura on Unsplash
Processing techniques for extracting gold from ore include grinding, concentration, roasting, and pressure oxidation prior to cyanidation.
comminution: reduction of solid matter to smaller particle sizes through crushing, grinding or milling
pyrometallurgy: thermal/heat treatment of minerals and metallurgical ores
hydrometallurgy: the use of water-soluble solutions to obtain metals from ores including various leaching processes. The use of cyanide to extract gold from its ore results in 'tailings'
other forms of mineral processing
"The production of one gold ring through this method [heap leaching], can generate 20 tons of waste material."
Gage B. & G. 2008. American Outrage. USA: Human Rights Watch.
Two gold rings + approx. 40 tonnes of toxic waste materials
Tailings are the waste materials resulting from the hydrometallurgical separation of gold from its ore.
Mining tailings dam
Tailings dams, where this waste material is often stored, are often dangerously toxic due to:
unextracted sulphide minerals present
toxic minerals in the gangue (the worthless rock or vein where valuable metals or minerals occur)
residual cyanide present from treatment of gold ore via leaching
When these dams burst, there are catastrophic results…

The Mount Polley Tailings Pond Breach, Canada
"The Mount Polley tailings pond breach on August 4, 2014, is the worst environmental mining disaster in BC's history. The disaster shook the public's confidence in the province's ability to protect their human rights and the environment from harms caused by the Mount Polley tailings dam failure. In Amnesty International's view, the disaster raises serious questions about the province`s ability to protect British Columbians' economic, social, cultural, Indigenous and universal human rights under current mining regulations."
Worst Mining Disaster, Brazil
"In 2015 a dam containing mining wastes burst, releasing a wave of toxic mud that spread down the Doce River in Brazil and killing 20 people (Garcia et al., 2017). This toxic waste decimated the biological communities of the river leading to a loss of $521 million/year of ecosystem services. The pollution moved down the river and eventually contaminated Atlantic coastal waters. The fines assessed to the mining company did not cover the estimated costs of all losses. Furthermore, experience from the United States indicates these costs will accrue for many decades to come. In January 2019 another mine dam collapsed in Brazil in the state of Minas Gerias, leading to deaths of hundreds of people and massive environmental damage."
Walter K. Dodds, Matt R. Whiles, in Freshwater Ecology (Third Edition), 2020
Human Health Effects of Cyanide
Cyanide is a fast-acting, potentially deadly chemical – acutely toxic to humans.
The biochemical action of cyanide causes depression of the central nervous system that can result in respiratory arrest and death. At higher lethal concentrations, cyanide poisoning also affects other organs and systems in the body, including the heart.
Environmental Effects of Cyanide
Wildlife: cyanide is toxic to many living organisms at extremely low concentrations
Aquatic Organisms: cyanide exposure is particularly damaging to fish and aquatic invertebrates (reduces swimming performance, inhibits reproduction, delays mortality, creates susceptibility to predation, disrupts respiration, creates osmoregulatory disturbances and alters growth patterns
Birds: cyanide exposure symptoms include breathing issues, eye blinking, salivation, lethargy, mortality
Mammals: cyanide toxicity – symptoms of acute poisoning to mammals include muscle tremors, salivation, lacrimation, defecation, urination, laboured breathing, muscular incoordination, gasping and convulsions
There is little question that potential exposure to cyanide waste products, especially leaks that create water, air and/or soil pollution, has devastating and long-reaching effects on both humans and the natural environment.
Cyanide waste product leaks create water, air and soil pollution, with devastating and long-reaching effects
Cyanide effects from industrial mining
Further Waste Products & Effects of Mining
In addition to cyanide use, surface mining brings various human health and natural environment issues including:
cardiovascular diseases resulting from food and water contamination
massive ecological damage with biodiversity eradication
large scale physical habitat disruption/vegetation loss with widespread ripple effects
air pollution (ore dust, toxic gases leading to disease and lung tissue scarring & carbon emissions from diesel-powered heavy machinery)
noise pollution (explosives and heavy machinery)
water pollution (increased acidity and heavy metal contamination)
drainage of underground water reserves/aquifers causes the drying up of natural springs, rivers and destruction of related ecosystems (increased risk of old and unused mines collapsing as a result of lack of water support below)
soil erosion (continues even decades after mine closure)
damage to deep sea marine ecosystems
destruction of undiscovered places
noise pollution affecting whales and other animals which rely on echolocation
light pollution affecting animals that rely on bioluminescence
destruction of biodiversity
Underground Mining:
potential dangers of radiation and toxic gas exposure
dangerous accidents like tunnel cave-ins
higher personal injury potential
underground tunnels cause surface collapse especially in older, unused mines
Drainage of underground water reserves/aquifers causes the drying up of natural springs, rivers and destruction of related ecosystems
Safety Concerns – Mining Disasters
Despite modern improvements to mining safety practices (which result in mining being substantially safer today than it was in previous decades – at least in certain countries), mining remains a dangerous occupation throughout the world.
Disastrous mining accidents still occur.
Examples of Mining Tragedies
Feb 4 2021: Mining disaster killed 270 people Brumadinho, Brazil
Jan 24 2021: Underground Explosion, China
Sept 27 2020: Mine Disaster Kills at Least 16, China
Nov 23 2009: Mine Explosion Kills More Than 100, China
Mar 19, 2009: Mining Disaster 885 Feet Underground in Ulyanovskaya, Russia
April 5, 2010: No Survivors Found After West Virginia Mine Disaster, USA
In addition to death or permanent disability by crushing and/or toxic gas asphyxiation, other significant health and safety issues remain also regarding:
mining ventilation and release of toxic gases
cave-ins as well as ground and rock falls (33 Chilean miners were trapped deep underground for 69 days in 2010)
heat-related illnesses
Which Countries Mine Gold? Do They Care for Their People and Places?
All continents except Antarctica have gold mining operations, since its ore is widely distributed throughout the Earth's crust.
China is currently the largest producer of gold, followed by Russia, then Australia and the United States. Canada, Latin America and Africa all also feature in the top 10 regions mining massive volumes of gold.
Many of these countries are where the biggest compromises for human and planetary health and safety have taken place both recently and historically.
Soaring worldwide demand for the minerals used in electronic devices such as smartphones and laptops has left a legacy of social conflict, human rights violations and environmental devastation across Asia, Latin America and Africa.
Social conflict, human rights violations and environmental devastation. Photo by Hasin Hayder on Unsplash
An Environmental Justice Atlas based on a global investigation into the world's mineral mines pinpoints over 600 international companies with more than 1,500 ongoing conflicts identifying human rights violations and environmental devastation including:
water drainage
water contamination – groundwater and surface water
land destruction
formation of sinkholes
additional forest logging to create space for waste storage
ill-health
falling water levels
military force/violence
government corruption and more…
These disputes take the form of both long-standing legal contestations and/or armed conflicts.
Military force and government-rule-bending are coupled with mining corporations' financially-driven enterprise. The various parties are seen to act in direct accordance with one another, often to the detriment of local communities and natural habitats.
"Much of the Philippines has now been militarised to defend the companies… We have found that mining divides our people, it kills them, it does not help us. It destroys our values. Mining and militarisation are twins.
"Where there is big mining there is always militarisation, because the government has to ensure that foreigners can invest in our country. People are resisting, are taking up arms against the entry of these mining companies.
"We are killing each other over mining."

What's more, indigenous sacred sites and culturally significant lands are being mined and mistreated without apparent regard for the people to whom the land is historically and traditionally home.
"A parliamentary inquiry into the destruction of 46,000-year-old caves has delivered a scathing report criticising the actions of Rio Tinto and calling for the Western Australian government to put a stop to the destruction of heritage until new laws are passed."

"The companies whose mines have attracted the most accusations of human rights abuses and environmental conflict are some of the largest in the world, mostly listed on the London stock exchange. They include AngloGold Ashanti, Rio Tinto, Barrick Gold, BHP Billiton, Glencore Xstrata and Newmont Mining. Between them they are involved in 75 conflicts in countries ranging from Colombia, Burma and the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the US, Zambia and the Philippines, says the database."
What's the Deal With Gold Mining and ESG?
Given the information presented previously, it should come as little surprise that gold mining groups are largely sugar-coating (and not much more) apparent efforts to address the Environmental, Social and Governance principles being requested of them:
"A Sept. 23 joint report of the Responsible Mining Foundation and the Columbia Center on Sustainable Investment at Columbia University concluded that as a whole, the mining sector is falling short of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals, or SDGs, a common metric related to ESG themes. A news release about the report, which examined 38 large-scale global mining companies, said while many large mining companies list the goals in their sustainability reporting, much of the effort is 'purely cosmetic.'"
It's not looking great for humanity or the planet in the hands of the mining industry.
Apart from mining corporate green-rhetoric, there currently seem to be only insubstantial claims to ESG-favourable actions. There doesn't seem to be any organisation planning dramatic changes anytime soon.
"The growth of ESG investing is increasing scrutiny on many companies, and parts of the mining sector bring a complicated history to the topic. During a virtual conference in late-September, gold companies large and small touted their ESG credentials, although a recent report concluded that miners have more work to do when it comes to sustainability."
That leads us to The Miner Network (TMN).
A Gold Mining Group Promising to Care for the Environment? Seriously?
The Miner Network's not just telling a green story and 'trying to do the right thing' while doing the same old same old.
It's an organisation actually doing its best to walk the walk and be effective in building bridges from old ways to new. An organisation that aims to inspire and invites its colleagues in industry across the world to do the same.

What Does The Miner Network Do Differently?
Miner deals with only the greenest gold.
The Miner Network pledges what no other gold mine in the world promises.
By way of this pledge, as a Miner Network member, you deal with only the cleanest gold: the greenest gold. We're talking about gold that's been specifically processed while maintaining the mining new normal standards of excellence – facilitating financial, environmental and social accountability.
What does Miner do differently? Photo by Topich on Unsplash
Environmental Accountability: What Does That Even Mean?
Environmental accountability means a (mining) organisation undertakes a meaningful obligation to legitimately minimise the impacts on human and ecological health of its production.
How Does Miner Reduce Digging?
Miner reduces potential gold digging in various ways:
By offering savvy impact investors a modern crypto-asset hedge, gold lovers can park their wealth in the form of a portable, blockchain-enabled MINER token – redeemable for minutes of the service of mining gold – rather than stockpiling physical gold in a vault, an old practice that serves no one and comes at great cost to humans and our biosphere.
Gold production on demand, in sufficient amounts to fulfil requests for redemptions of MINER tokens. When industry (including manufacturing and jewellery) or individual members require physical 24 karat gold delivery, they redeem their MINER tokens through The Miner Network (a simple process), and responsible mining takes place in our approved, managed, in-network gold mines.
The Miner Network (Miner) uses advanced exploration technology to pinpoint the gold before digging and then only digs once (instead of digging around until gold is found, which is unfortunately an all-too-common practice at great expense to our ecosystem).
Miner prefers to mine pre-existing mine sites rather than opening new ones.
And Miner mines the waste piles from old mines, thereby extracting gold and cleaning up the toxicity of previous mining operations.
MINER is an ERC-20 token that represents one averaged minute of productivity from our approved, managed, in-network gold mines. These mines have been successfully producing gold for years, enabling accurate and consistent productivity metrics and creating a solid baseline for value.
This effectively means that the traditional gold hedge that the wealthy and finance sectors covet is now readily accessible in a crypto-asset format, while leaving this precious metal safely and securely stored in the ground (and the ground unscathed).
Miner Network members have an option to redeem MINER crypto utility tokens, their digital assets, for gold mining minutes
Miner Gives Us a Whole New Angle on Gold Digging for All Levels of Investors
Gold digging on demand!
No need for secure above-ground storage, insurance or dealing with transportation/portability issues.
Environmental, social and governance principles are becoming increasingly relevant and important to all levels of investors – from precious metals hedge fund managers to impact investing fund managers to Gen Y millennials set to inherit masses of wealth from their baby boomer family members (and who were, just quietly, born social-media-ready and super-adept at influencing their like minded green-driven peers).
"Millennials (23 – 40 year olds) [are] the highest-spending generation in 2020 — with a projected $1.4 trillion tab… Millennials stand to inherit over $68 trillion from Baby Boomer parents by the year 2030, setting them up to potentially be the most wealthy generation in U.S. history."

Gold Mining Companies Pressured to 'Clean Up Their Act'
Gold mining companies are increasingly going to be pressured to 'clean up their act' and present options which are meaningful and impactful in terms of human and planetary health and well-being.
Resource extraction is the dirtiest business on the planet. MINER helps to solve this by reducing digging and increasing environmental accountability. Photo by Andreas Gücklhorn on Unsplash
Apart from providing us with healthy communities on a thriving planet, mining companies like The Miner Network are able to distinguish themselves and therefore appeal to a far broader green-inspired, finance-focussed audience.
Resource extraction is one of the dirtiest businesses on the planet. MINER helps to solve this by reducing digging and increasing environmental accountability.
MINER Launch Phase 1 (soft launch) is completely sold out.
Main launch is happening soon.

Q: How to send two request simultaneously and get response one by one in C# I need to fetch two types of data which require to send two requests simultaneously and then store responses in the list in a way that first it should add the first response and then the second response.
For Example, I need to first show users and then teams so I am sending the corresponding requests first to fetch people and second to fetch teams. So how to make sure that first request's response should come first?

A: You have not really provided enough details... but to guess at an answer.
You can

send two requests simultaneously

By firing two async methods without awaiting them - this will go and 'get' your responses.
You then can await the tasks in the order you want to add them to the list:
public IEumerable<Response> GetResponses {
    // This will 'kick-off' both methods, but not actually get their results
    var userResponseTask = GetUserResponses();
    var groupResponseTask = GetGroupResponses();

    // Now you can pull the results in the order you like
    var responses = new List<Response>();
    responses.AddRange(await userResponseTask);
    responses.AddRange(await groupResponseTask);
    return responses;
}

Where GetUserResponses and GetGroupResponses are async methods like so:
public async Task<IEnumerable<Response>> GetUserResponses(){
    // However you get them
    return await SomeCallToWebServiceOrDatabaseEtc();
}

A: You could add your Requests to a List and then iterate over them.
List<Requests> requestList = new List<Request>();
List<Response> responseList = new List<Response>();
requestList.Add(requestObjectForUsers);
requestList.Add(requestObjectForTeams);
foreach(var request in requestList){
    responseList.Add( request.Send() );
}

This way the requests will be send one after another in a procedural way. If your request for the teams has a dependency to the response of the users then you should declare a variable where you put the user-Response and initialize it with null.
Response userResponse = null
foreach(var request in requestList){
    if(userResponse == null){
        // do the user request
    } else {
        // do the teams request
    }
}

NSCIA declares Thursday for nationwide prayers against COVID-19
Friday Olokor, Abuja
The Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs and Assembly of Muslims in Nigeria has called for prayers on Thursday (today) to end the COVID-19 pandemic "and rid all mankind from its devastative effects."
The call for prayers was at the instance of the Supreme Committee for Human Fraternity, whose membership consists of the highest religious bodies in the world.
The Grand Sheikh of Al-Azhar Al-Sharif, and His Holiness Pope Francis, head of the Catholic Church in the Vatican are said to be the initiators of the call for prayers among other religious bodies worldwide.
A statement issued on Wednesday night by the chairman, Fatwa Committee of the NSCIA and chairman of AMIN, Sheikh Shariff Ibrahim Saleh Al-Hussaini, said the United Nations Secretary-General had endorsed and blessed the move, as well as most Muslim scholars and leaders worldwide.
He outlined some verses of the Holy Qur'an which must be read by Muslims in Nigeria.
Al-Hussaini said, "Based on these noble verses, and in compliance with the guidance, teachings and the tradition of the master of the prophets and messengers (may God's salutations and peace be upon him), has encouraged supplications and prayers to Allah the Almighty, at times of crisis, pandemics and other calamities that afflict people, and at all times.
"On behalf of the Fatwa Committee of NSCIA, and on the advice of His Eminence Alhaji (Dr) Muhammad Sa'ad Abubakar III, Sultan of Sokoto, and President-General of NSCIA, and on behalf of AMIN, we call on all Muslims, and all Nigerians, Christians and followers of other religions, as well as our friends and loved ones wherever they are, to pray fervently in one voice on May 14, 2020 AD, so that God Almighty ends this pandemic.
"It is well established in the prophetic tradition that, during prayer for rain, all citizens are encouraged to go out for prayers regardless of their religion, gender or age.
"We also have the honour to seize this opportunity to renew our appeal to the leaders of all religions in the world, and in our dear country Nigeria in particular, to continue to work hard and sincerely in order to achieve peaceful co-existence in all communities."

(1) 7 Votes for Cert. Grant in Patent Cases?; (2) Amicus Curiae in China
May 13, 2016 | in Wegner's Writings| by Hal Wegner
Yesterday at the George Washington University Law School in a patent law conference focused on Brazil, former Federal Circuit Chief Judge Randall R. Rader presented interesting views on several issues:
(1) 7 Votes for Certiorari Grant in Patent Cases: The former Chief Judge noted the special expertise that the Federal Circuit has for patent cases. He proposed that a special level of 7 votes should be necessary for grant of certiorari in petitions to the Supreme Court which come from his former court. (The law today is that grant of certiorari requires a vote of 4 of the 9 members of the Court.)
(2) Amicus Curiae in the Chinese Judicial System: The former Chief Judge announced that he has appeared as amicus curiae in Chinese legal proceedings. He did not identify his principal(s).

The invasion was successful, the infiltration and compromise of the U.S. happened decades ago.
John Brennan's (Former C.I.A. Director) comments on MSNBC's Rachel Madcow Maddow show need intensive scrutiny.
Madcow, Rachel admits she and the crew had been rehearsing for 2 days to deceive the viewing TV audience.
"I will leave it to the lawyers and the courts to decide whether something is criminal or not. But in my mind, it requires someone to knowingly support the efforts of a foreign government to interfere in U.S. domestic politics and especially an election.
And so, any American who was working with the Russians, or working with intermediaries who are working with the Russians, and those Americans who knowingly tried to collude, conspire and to work with them in order to advance their political objectives here in the States, I think that rises to the level of conspiracy.
Translate that to mean Brennan's C.I.A. operations were conducting illegal surveillance on Americans, period.
Brennan then decided which targets to be handed over to the FBI's investigations to make everything appear "legal".
Thus, Brennan's definition inadvertently fingered Hillary Clinton and the DNC as guilty of conspiracy and should be criminally indicted, Hillary and her DNC cronies did everything Brennan claim to make a conspiracy "to knowingly support the efforts of a foreign government to interfere in U.S. domestic politics and especially an election".
Brennan was disgraced and stripped of his security clearances and his publicity cast a dark cloud over the federal policy to gift security clearances to outgoing officials after they leave the federal government.
Dig further into the actual findings and you will discover that Admiral Rogers stumbled upon the unlawful operation that were illegally accessing and funneling the Intel data to private contractors, and he then informed the FISC [U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court] of this violation.
Private Intel contractors like Fusion GPS and others, some corporations we may never have heard of, were given secret surveillance information illegally.
Can You Recognize Corruption When You See It?
Last week, reports were made public that the FISC routinely, or at least in all the four FISA warrants granted permissions to spy on everyone within range of an American by the name of Carter Page who "conveniently" volunteered to work for the Trump Presidential campaign.
Isn't it too criminally convenient for the FBI & DOJ to violate procedures and protocols to omit central evidence and also not verify allegations prior to presenting to the court?
Isn't it too corruptibly convenient for the FISC judges to violate court's ethics by not questioning (with skepticism) the FBI's allegations and claims?
Anyway, everyone within camera, audio, and telecom range of Mr. Carter Page were being spied upon, and this included everyone in Trump tower and incidental to Mr. Paul Manafort.
So there the evidence is, bluntly stated, Americans' privacy lost.
With No Respect for the U.S. Constitution and Americans' Freedom.
And this isn't over, expect more legal jeopardy for President Trump, family and associates, and the bitter political-rage and propaganda campaign intentionally fomenting the U.S. government crisis.
If the U.S. Presidential candidate Trump had no privacy rights as an American, then there are No Constitutional Protected Rights and no freedom in America!
Let that sink in, and contemplate the full implications of John Brennan's spygate Operation 'Crossfire Hurricane'.
This crisis and scandal is about so much more than President Trump.
with connections to U.S. Senators, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Robert Mueller, James Comey and other high level officials in or formally in government.
Are Americans finally waking up to the horror inside the U.S. Government?
William Browder, American Oligarch (who changed his citizenship to the UK to avoid taxes, and his grandfather, Earl Browder, was the Head of the Communist Party) Browder has connections to both the Russian Oligarch Mikhail Khodorkovsky, and the fired NY FBI Federal Prosecutor Preet Bharara.
Was Preet Bharara the handler of FBI informant Carter Page to convict Russians in a prior case before the Trump campaign?
Apparently the FBI used Carter Page as a useful idiot to target the Trump campaign and get a FISA warrant and three additional renewals to secretly spy on everyone connected to Trump.
Title: How does Preet Bharara fit into #Russiagate / #Spygate?
Without Criminal Indictments of Hillary Clinton and her enablers & handlers this is nothing more than a unprosecuted crime story chronicling the destruction of America.
Lawsuit Against U.S. Political Party (DNC) For Fraud! Is Hillary Clinton Next?
3 Years of TDS PAIN – the political anti-Trump campaign has not ended.
I tried to run & hide from the TDS plague during and after the 2016 elections, but most family, neighbors, acquaintances and media will erupt in a TDS outburst as if triggered whenever a radio or other source speak the name "Trump" – America has a plague problem.
The Trump Derangement Syndrome is a corporate mass media plague in America.
TDS is also a political campaign by globalists, see CANADA's Trudeau government TDS.

Former Intel Personnel Blow Whistle!!!
TRUMP wants to have it both ways.
Trump knows or should know that the FBI/DOJ & Intel Community is compromised with criminals and double agents and yet he hasn't attempted to clean it up, but rather accepts their claim for the release of undercover agents disguised as a innocent christian pastor in Turkey!
The very disturbing first hand stories will alarm any American patriot, but I am frustrated that secrecy and classified info prevents us from seeing documents and the evidence for their claims. Without more evidence it is difficult to verify their allegations.
Ann Vandersteel host this talk show and the allegations are SHOCKING!
The LONDON Connection and oligarchs' Billionaire club is a dangerous problem.

Title: Why it's time to go NEXT LEVEL with POPULISM.
This is bigger than Trump and the anti-Trump campaign.
The Intel abuses is a secret that corrupts politics, governments, and Wall Street corporations!
Investigative reporter Sharyl Attkisson reveals the decades of abuses from the FISA system for political opposition research; yet we never hear a single voice calling attention to the DOJ-NSD and FBI abuse of this system.
The origin of most of the corruption seems to consistently circle back to the abuse of the FBI and NSA database which is very much documented and never subject to being refuted. Yet, the historic FISA surveillance/search abuse issue is never brought up by anyone, any investigative authority, in any aspect of this ongoing criminal activity.
Not a single congressional hearing has ever questioned the FISA-702(16)(17) search issues. Not a single question to a single witness, specifically Comey or Yates, was ever asked them about the DOJ-NSD and FBI abuse of the FISA database.
Is it because, if this string is pulled into the public the whole secret corrupt system would unravel the foreign control of the U.S.?


The United Nations University Series on Regionalism, launched by UNU-CRIS and Springer, offers a platform for innovative work on (supra-national) regionalism from a global and inter-disciplinary perspective. It includes the policy-oriented World Reports on Regional Integration, published in collaboration with other UN agencies, but it is also open for theoretical, methodological and empirical contributions from academics and policy-makers worldwide. It prominently features the outcome of research carried out at UNU-CRIS. The series has a particular focus on: comparative regionalism; comparative work on regional organizations; inter-regionalism; the role of regions in a multi-level governance context; the interactions between the UN and the regions; the regional dimensions of the reform processes of multilateral institutions; the dynamics of cross-border micro-regions and their interactions with supra-national regions; and methodological issues in regionalism studies.
As a part of this project, UNU-CRIS coordinated the World Reports on Regional Integration.

24 posters in artist's frame, Dimensions variable
From the outset of his career, Piero Golia has subverted the conventions of contemporary art through concept, form, and act. In January 2006 he vanished from New York, leaving no trace of his plans or whereabouts, only to resurface three weeks later at the Royal Academy of Arts in Copenhagen to give a lecture on his own disappearance. In 2008 he responded to the standardized brief of art fair booths by compacting a full-size passenger bus down to the six-meter width of the assigned space. Luminous Sphere (2010), a mysterious glowing orb installed on the roof of the Standard Hotel on Sunset Boulevard, lights up only when Golia is in Los Angeles; like a sacred presence expressed in LA vernacular, the mysterious cipher awaits projection of meaning from the casual passerby, and a contemporary urban legend is born.
Golia was born in 1974 in Naples, Italy. His work has been shown in major exhibitions in the United States and Europe, including Museo di Castel Sant'Elmo, Naples (2000); National Gallery of Arts, Tirana, Albania (2001); Fondazione Adriano Olivetti, Rome (2002); Fondazione Nicola Trussardi, Milan, Italy (2004); Astrup Fearnley Museet, Oslo (2005); Serpentine Gallery, London (2006); PS1 Contemporary Art Center, New York (2006); Moderna Museet, Stockholm (2007); Istituto Svizzero, Venice (2009); Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (2010); MAXXI, Rome (2010); Fondation d'Entreprise Ricard, Paris (2012); and Hammer Museum, Los Angeles (2014). Solo exhibitions include La Folie de la Villa Médicis, Académie de France à Rome, Villa Medici, Rome (2002); Double Tumble or the Awesome Twins, Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam (2011); Chalet Hollywood, Los Angeles (2013–14); Chalet Dallas, Nasher Sculpture Center, Dallas (2015–16); Académie de France à Rome, Villa Medici, Rome (2016); and Kunsthaus Baselland, Basel (2017).
Golia participated in the 2nd Moscow Biennale (2007); SITE Santa Fe, New Mexico (2008–09); California Biennial, Orange County Museum of Art (2008); 55th Biennale di Venezia, Venice (2013); and Made in L.A. 2014, the Hammer Museum's 4th biennial.
Golia lives and works in Los Angeles.

Serums definition: Serums for skin have been used for thousands of year since even before Cleopatras time.
Face serums are loaded with nutrient rich moisturizing repairing and renewing benefits for all skin types especially for mature or sun damaged complexions.
Skins that are very dry or damaged can also benefit the most from the many vitamins, minerals and other active in face serums for skin.
Facial serums can be made from base oils like Almond oil, Wheatgerm oil, Avocado and Coconut oil. To these base oils you can add Carrot seed, Rosehip, Rose, Evening Primrose, Frankincense , Fennel, Neroli, Lavender, Borage and Vitamin E oil to name a few.
It is surprisingly easy to make face serums that work to treat almost any kind on skin condition from acne to red veins and sun damage not to mention reducing fine lines and wrinkles.
You can even use simple anti-aging serum tricks like applying a capsule of Starflower oil (like Barlean's Organic Oils Borage Oil) every night before bed to your skin to give your skin a super nourishing anti-aging (and wrinkle reducing) night treatment.

We've invited you to come alongside of us as Rachel chats about anything and everything *taking care* over the next few weeks. Pour yourself a cup of something and pull up a chair. So happy you are here! What do you love? You know, that wonderful something you do for you that makes your heart sing. That relaxes or energizes you. That makes you smile. That brings you joy.
Maybe it's cooking or swimming or painting. Maybe you love putting a pen to the page or watching old movies with a bowl of popcorn in your lap or soaking in the tub with a candle lit beside you. Perhaps you can't get enough of creating beautiful things or singing or playing the guitar.
Are you doing what you love enough? If not, carve out time for it! Whether it's 10 minutes or an hour or an evening, take those moments and fill them with what you love.
So click those knitting needles. Stir up that batter. Hike up that hill. Call up your dear friends for a girls' night.
I know firsthand that life can be very busy and full with jobs and children and housework and EVERYTHING, and it can be tricky to try to fit in the fun things. But doing what you enjoy is such a wonderful way to take care and treat yourself well. So let's make it happen!
A Taking Care Challenge For You :: Make a plan! When will you do this thing you love? What day and time? Write it down! Make arrangements (with your hubby or a sitter) if you need to. And then enjoy!

Laudo (ur. ?, zm. 21 września ok. 565) – święty Kościoła katolickiego, biskup.

Według tradycji biskupem Coutances został wybrany w wieku 12 lat, na początku VI wieku. Istnieją hipotezy, że był też biskupem w Briovère (obecnie Saint-Lô) i za jego sprawą zmienione zostały granice diecezji. Brał udział w synodach, które odbyły się w Orleanie w latach 533, 538 i 549.

Szczególnym miejscem kultu św. Laudo stało się Agnes. Jego relikwie uległy rozproszeniu.

Jego wspomnienie obchodzone jest 21 września.
