Preventing catastrophic failure of tailings storage facilities
Member commitments
This position statement sets out ICMM members' approach to the governance of tailings storage facilities (TSFs) for the mining and metals industry to minimise the risk of catastrophic failure of tailings facilities.
Tailings are the solid material plus varying degrees of runoff and process water (waste) remaining after the recoverable metals and minerals have been extracted from mined ore. The physical and chemical characteristics of the tailings vary with the nature of the ore, its geological setting and the climate where the tailings are placed. Tailings are most commonly stored in surface facilities, which can represent a significant area of disturbance at mining operations.
The foundation for this position statement is a tailings storage facility (TSF) governance framework which enhances focus on those key elements of management and governance necessary to maintain integrity of TSFs and minimise the risk of catastrophic failures. The six key elements of this TSF governance framework are:
Accountability, Responsibility and Competency
Planning and Resourcing
Review and Assurance
Background on ICMM principles and position statements
All ICMM member companies implement the ICMM Sustainable Development Framework as a condition of membership.1 This includes commitments to implement 10 principles throughout their businesses, to report in line with the Global Reporting Initiative's (GRI) Sustainability Reporting Framework and to obtain independent external assurance that the ICMM commitments are being met (this framework is described in detail at www.icmm.com/member-commitments).
ICMM principles of particular relevance to preventing catastrophic failure of TSFs are:
Principle 1: Apply ethical business practices and sound systems of corporate governance and transparency to support sustainable development.
Principle 2: Integrate sustainable development in corporate strategy and decision-making processes.
Principle 4: Implement effective risk-management strategies and systems based on sound science and which account for stakeholder perceptions of risks.
Principle 5: Pursue continual improvement in health and safety performance with the ultimate goal of zero harm.
Principle 6: Pursue continual improvement in environmental performance issues, such as water stewardship, energy use and climate change.
Principle 7: Contribute to the conservation of biodiversity and integrated approaches to land-use planning.
Principle 10: Proactively engage key stakeholders on sustainable development challenges and opportunities in an open and transparent manner. Effectively report and independently verify progress and performance.
In accordance with the principles, ICMM has also developed a number of position statements that further elaborate member commitments to particular issues. Company members comply with these statements by incorporating them into their operational practices.
Recognition statements
ICMM members recognise that:
Tailings production is inherent to mining and minerals processing and will remain so for the foreseeable future. These materials require engineered solutions for their long-term safe storage and sustainable management.
TSFs undergo ongoing changes over their life cycle which must be considered and managed to ensure continued TSF safety and structural integrity.
Catastrophic TSF failures are unacceptable and owners and operators of such facilities should ensure systems, standards and resources are in place to prevent failures.
Potential for TSF failures must be considered and addressed through a facility's life cycle, which includes design, construction, operation and closure.
Technical guidance exists to support preventing catastrophic failures of TSFs through appropriate design, construction, operation and closure. Owners and operators utilise this along with the judgement of competent designers and experts. Some extreme natural events are impossible to predict.
Each TSF is unique. Site conditions, mineral characteristics and other aspects of each mine site dictate appropriate tailings technology and storage solutions. Although no single design or operating practice can be adopted universally, the industry continually seeks to improve and develop techniques and new technologies and implement them as appropriate.
In addition to existing commitments under the ICMM Sustainable Development Framework ICMM member companies commit to implement practices consistent with the Tailings Governance Framework (the 'Framework') so that the risk of catastrophic failure of tailings storage facilities is minimised.
Tailings Governance Framework
The purpose of the Tailings Governance Framework is to enable enhanced focus on the following six key elements of management and governance necessary to prevent catastrophic failures of tailings storage facilities (TSFs).
Accountabilities, responsibilities and associated competencies are defined to support appropriate identification and management of TSF risks.
Accountability for the overall governance of tailings facilities resides with the owners and operators.
Organisational structures and roles are established to support management of TSF risks and governance accountability.
Communication processes are maintained to ensure that personnel understand their responsibilities. Training is conducted to maintain currency of knowledge and skills.
Role competency and experience requirements are defined for critical roles within the established organisational structures.
The financial and human resources needed to support continued TSF management and governance are maintained throughout a facility's life cycle.
TSF operating and capital costs, and human resource needs, are included in relevant business planning processes.
Resources necessary to implement and maintain activities within this governance framework are provided.
Risk management associated with TSFs includes risk identification, an appropriate control regime and the verification of control performance.
Risk controls and their associated verification activities are identified based on failure modes and their associated consequences, and evaluated on a TSF-specific basis considering all phases of the TSF life cycle.
Suitably qualified and experienced experts are involved in TSF risk identification and analysis, as well as in the development and review of effectiveness of the associated controls.
Performance criteria are established for risk controls and their associated monitoring, internal reporting and verification activities.
Risks associated with potential changes are assessed, controlled and communicated to avoid inadvertently compromising TSF integrity.
Processes are applied that involve the identification, assessment, control and communication of risks to TSF integrity arising from both internally-driven and externally-driven change, to avoid introducing uncertain, unacceptable, and/or unmanaged risks.
Documents and records that support TSF planning, design, construction, operation, surveillance, management and governance are maintained and kept suitably current and accessible.
Processes are in place to recognise and respond to impending failure of TSFs and mitigate the potential impacts arising from a potentially catastrophic failure.
Action thresholds and their corresponding response to early warning signs of potential catastrophic failure are established.
Emergency preparedness and response plans are established commensurate with potential failure consequences. Such plans specify roles, responsibilities and communication procedures.
Emergency preparedness and response plans are periodically tested.
Review & assurance
Internal and external review and assurance processes are in place so that controls for TSF risks can be comprehensively assessed and continually improved.
Internal performance monitoring and inspections and internal and external reviews and assurance are conducted commensurate with consequences of TSF failure to evaluate and to continually improve the effectiveness of risk controls.
Outcomes and actions arising from TSF review and assurance processes are recorded, reviewed, closed-out and communicated.
Performance of risk management programmes for TSFs is reported to executive management on a regular basis.
1. Members are expected to implement the commitments in this position statement by November 2018. The position statement will not apply retroactively.


This song hit the charts at #1 and its continual airplay makes it sure to become a pop standard. 'Though we're far apart, you're always in my heart, you are not alone.' The lyric beautifully addresses the commitment necessary to make any relationship work. A hit addition to any concert!


Some films are so good they require that any re-make be superb. The Errol Flynn version of Robin Hood has stood the test of time, and with the possible exception of Robin and Marion, no other film has come close. So too with this re-imagining of the story which takes some unnecessary and unwanted liberties, not to mention the coal mines which weren't in existence at the time of the story. The film has little to recommend it. Go back and watch the original.
Does anyone remember the Simpson's episode where Homer gets the chance to design a car? Its like every other car, wheels, engine. Dashboard. But it turns out to be a ghastly mess. Well, imagine if he was asked to produce a film. No point going on about its faults as they are numerous. The biggest scandal is that people can throw millions at a film and no one says hang on, this is rubbish. I can't believe anyone would give it over 5.
We arguably didn't need yet another cinematic reimaging of the age old tale of Robin Hood and his merry band of followers, robbing from the rich and giving to the poor, but after the last big screen treatment faired so poorly in the form of the Russell Crowe/Ridley Scott version in 2010, I for one was totally up for another stab at the classic tale, aware that the material still has the potential to entertain now just as well as it first did many moons ago.
Sadly the new Robin Hood is frankly not that good, an often bizarre and mostly charmless affair that sees Robin of Loxley become some type of Assassin's Creed reject that also masquerades as a GQ fashion model, as debut filmmaker Otto Bathhurst gets caught up in the joys of slow-motion instead of getting caught up on making his characters more intriguing or his film more fun.
Unfortunately delivered in a mostly po-faced fashion that sits unevenly with how over the top and silly many of its big action scenes are (a machine gun like arrow barrage in Arabia or a horse chase along rooftops spring instantly to mind), Robin Hood wants to be taken seriously but it's impossible to do so, when the action and scenarios are all so off-putting and even if the action beats and slight thrills you get from some of these scenes make the film tolerable as such, there not going to change many people's opinions on the movie, feelings of which are likely to be largely negative when you look at early press and box-office results.
More comfortable with the action scenes than he is the character beats, Bathurst leads this negativity bringing Robin Hood down as he struggles to get much out of his capable cast, with Robin giving Kingsman breakout star Taron Edgerton his worst big-screen role yet, as the young performer struggles with making Robin a charismatic hero and has an equally hard time forcing any chemistry between himself and Eve Hewson as Marion, with the daughter of Bono fairing quite badly in her highest profile role yet.
Side players don't fare much better, with Australian tressure Tim Minchin fairing best with his role as Friar Tuck, while the seemingly constantly struggling Jamie Foxx as Little John and the charm free Jamie Dornan as Will add little to proceedings.
Outside of these unfortunate elements one of the most disappointing and eye-rolling aspects of this Robin Hood is yet another stereotypical shady bad guy turn from Ben Mendelsohn.
An unquestionably talented performer and one of our countries best acting exports, Mendelsohn delving into yet another villain role as the nefarious Sherriff of Nottingham after similar turns in the likes of Ready Player One, Rogue One, TV show Bloodline and The Dark Knight Rises begs the question of how hard the actor is trying at the moment, and while his turn here isn't "bad", it's certainly tiresome with all things considered, with the time now for Mendelsohn to break away from these type of roles.
With a handful of lively action scenes and some very brief snippets of fun, Robin Hood shows glimpses of what might've been, but with a lack of charisma, energy or smarts, this ends up being yet another version of the hooded hero that fails to hit the mark, with Robin Hood likely to be one of the year's biggest financial flops.

Campaigners bid to save village church
Campaigners launch grant bid to save village church
ONE Cynon Valley community is leading the fight to save its village church.
St John's Church in Miskin, Mountain Ash, is under threat of closure because the congregation has fallen to just 12 people.
Miskin Communities First has applied for a grant of #600,000 from the Heritage Lottery Fund to allow the church building to be kept open as a community resource.
An open day and exhibition was held earlier this month.
Villagers were able to view plans for the church and give their views on the proposals.
Darren Jones, Miskin Communities First co-ordinator, said: "It was brilliant - we had around 145 people visiting the exhibition.
"What was really good to see was that most of them were young people.
"It just shows that young people care about places like St John's Church," he said.
"A lot of them had stories about it - like they were baptised there or their parents were married there."
If funding is not secured, St John's Church will sadly close its doors for good in 2006.
If you want to be involved in the project to save the church, call Miskin Communities First co-ordinator Darren Jones on 01443 478645.


Who is included in the event or activity's planning leaders, audience, and presenters? What about event/activity materials like posters, videos, books, and music?
Does the event or activity include discussion of topics with which participants identify? How can you ensure safe and respectful discussion?
Is it a physically accessible space? Is it easily and safely reached by public transport? If not, are you subsidizing or arranging for safe and easy transport?
Are there all-gender access washrooms? If not, can you designate a single stall washroom as an all-gender washroom?
Ensure event/activity leaders are comfortable with LGBTQ language and definitions.
Clearly communicate to ALL stakeholders that the event/activity is LGBTQ-inclusive.
Include LGBTQ-themed flyers, posters, video, and other media.
If you need to collect information about gender for your event/activity make sure you do so in a way that allows people to properly identify their gender.

Q: Why does typescript let this code to be compiled? if you run this code, you'll get an error: obj.secretMethod is not a function.
interface BaseObject {
  hello(): void;
}

interface ObjectHandler {
  handleObject(obj: BaseObject): void;
}

class RealObject implements BaseObject {
  hello(): void {
    console.log("Hi");
  }
  secretMethod() {
    return "OK!";
  }
}

class FakeObject implements BaseObject {
  hello() {
    console.log("Hello");
  }
}

class RealHandler implements ObjectHandler {
  handleObject(obj: RealObject): void {
    console.log(obj.secretMethod());
  }
}

const f: ObjectHandler = new RealHandler();
const obj: BaseObject = new FakeObject();
f.handleObject(obj);

My question is why does TypeScript compiler sucessfully compile this code and doesn't even give any warnings, even with --strict? In comparasion with C# compiler: a C# compiler wouldn't compile this, because ObjectHandler.handleObject(BaseObject) method must be implemented as ObjectHandler.handleObject(BaseObject) and not ObjectHandler.handleObject(RealObject), so, programmer must explicitly cast BaseObject to RealObject if he want to call a secretMethod. So why do TypeScript developers have decided to not to emit an error in situations like this?

Stars of the Month for March 2011
Posted on May 9, 2011 January 7, 2012 by ksmystitch
Audrey regularly attends the morning meetings for the guild. She is a retired Wichita school teacher. Some of her hobbies other than crochet include gardening (mostly flowers), reading, and watching TV.
She says her nickname is Audie, because her cousin couldn't say Audrey. She learned to crochet 9 years ago when her neighbor taught her the basic stitches. She enjoys making bookmarks, flowers and circles, and appliques for a quilt that has some faded spaces. She is in her second year of membership in KS My Stitch and joined us when she saw an article in the newspaper. One project she recently completed that gives her a sense of pride is an afghan she made. One favorite thing she remembers about guild is that one metting she dropped her cell phone and someone turned it in. She keeps coming to guild because she is interested in new projects and is inspired by seeing others' projects.
Cheryl also regularly attends the morning guild meetings. She is a receptionist at Walmart and takes calls and works the fitting rooms at the store on North Rock Road. Her nickname is Chatter, and she says she got it from CB radio. She has been crocheting since she was 12 but really got back into it about five years ago. She has been a member of KS My Stitch for between two and three years and learned about the guild at Twist. A project that she recently completed that gives her a sense of pride is a lot of hats and scarves she made for a homeless camp in New Jersey for Christmas. One of her favorite things about the guild is her friends sharing their projects. She keeps coming to guild because of friendships and new projects.
Kaye normally attends the morning meetings, but this month she came to the evening meeting too! She is retired and likes to spend her extra time crocheting. Her nickname is Kaye Baby. She has been crocheting since she was nine years old and her grandmother taught her how. She is really enjoying making crochet butterflies like Linda's and took one apart to figure out how to make them! She also enjoys making shawls. She's been a member for a few years now, but doesn't remember how she first heard about the guild. She says any project that gets finished gives her a sense of pride. Her favorite thing about guild is the people and she really loves everything about guild. And it's the people and ideas that keep her coming back, She loves learning new things.
Susan regularly attends the evening meetings because she is a senior administrative assistant in the physics department at Wichita State University and she says she loves her job.
She doesn't have a nickname, but is on Ravelry as stuckonsticks. She has been crocheting since she was about 16. She had really bad eyes and crocheted mainly by feel until she had lasic surgery to correct her eyesight. She went from 20/875 to 20/30! (I think she loves that she can see her beautiful work now!–Cori) She is making afghans, which are her favorite, and also working on shawls for her nieces and some friends for Christmas. She has been a member of the guild for about six or seven years and learned about it from her mother. One project she completed that gives her a sense of pride is a filet crochet banner of a dragon (and it really is beautiful!). It won first place at the State Fair. Susan says she loves everything about the guild especially the people because she finds it hard to make friends. And it's also the people who keep her coming back, that and learning new things about crochet.

The EU must open its 'next pandemic' plans to public debate
Giles Merritt
share this insight Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on LinkedIn
Giles Merritt welcomes the creation of a new body to fashion the EU's defences against future pandemics, but urges wider discussion of its authority and financial muscle.
Quietly, perhaps too quietly, the European Commission is working on a framework of defences against future pandemics. It's a complex task that will be expensive and fraught with political tensions, but it is being tackled in a puzzlingly low profile manner.
The Commission hasn't trumpeted its new responsibility very loudly although there's much to be said for encouraging public attention. So far, the EU has opted for its habitual behind-the-scenes process of discreet working groups and confidential reports.
Unlike many areas Brussels deals with, pandemics are of more than passing interest to the general public. The Covid-19 death toll is now independently estimated at over 16 million people worldwide rather than the official figure of five million, and will surely rise higher before this pandemic is over. And there's an uneasy awareness that still more deadly zoonotic viruses may await us in the years ahead.
Dealing with a pandemic of this virulence has clearly been beyond the capacities of so many national authorities
The EU has a major role to play in creating policy solutions to health hazards that claimed many lives and wreak economic havoc. Its new HERA agency – the Health Emergency Preparedness and Response Authority – opens its doors early next year and is tasked with devising a workmanlike plan to avoid Covid-19's errors and mis-steps.
EU member governments usually hem and haw over any proposed extension of the Commission's powers, but not this time. Dealing with a pandemic of this virulence has clearly been beyond the capacities of so many national authorities that a centralised mechanism was widely accepted as a no-brainer.
HERA's eventual powers and responsibilities are unclear; the EU's institutions are still squabbling over them. The Commission is keeping it in-house and refusing to see it made an autonomous agency like those for medicines and disease prevention. MEPs complain bitterly that the European Parliament was largely by-passed during HERA's creation and is denied oversight.
HERA's financial resources are somewhat vague. It will have a yearly budget of a billion euros, and if necessary the Commission says it can always draw on the €24 billion emergency fund to combat Covid-19's impact. Whether the money presently earmarked will be sufficient is hotly disputed.
The Covid-19 pandemic is meant to have taught the value of building better defences against future attacks. But have policymakers taken this lesson to heart? Developing new vaccines to protect against yet unknown and perhaps far more virulent zoonotic diseases would be both costly but also unacceptably risky for drug companies. Taxpayers would have to take most of the strain.
The Commission's speedy launch of HERA is reassuring
Before Covid-19, the combined sales of the top five vaccine manufacturers accounted for a mere two to three per cent of the trillion dollar world market for drugs. There's comparatively little profit in vaccines, so Big Pharma hasn't been keen to invest in them.
Governments in Europe and elsewhere will therefore need to cough up a great deal of money if an ambitious vaccines R&D programme is to be adequately funded. They should remember the precedent of the 2003 SARS outbreak in Asia when a mystery virus not unlike Covid-19 rang alarm bells worldwide. The WHO lost no time in encouraging drug companies to join a multi-million dollar vaccine effort, but the crisis subsided almost as quickly as it began and so too did the research funding.
Despite initial confusion over vaccines and lockdowns, and the unwholesome spectacle of member states' unilateral beggar-my-neighbour responses, Europe is emerging relatively well from the pandemic in public health terms. The Commission's speedy launch of HERA is reassuring too. But because Covid-19 has had such a direct impact on people, there's a strong case for debating its scope more publicly than has so far been the case.
Uncomfortable questions to be addressed include the degree to which EU member states will commit to common responses to future pandemics – foreswearing, for instance, panicky border closures and vaccine hoarding. Equally important is whether Europe should consider a global leadership role in the event of another global pandemic.
The second part of this article on 30 November will discuss global preparedness for future pandemics.

1. In the second year of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel reigned Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah.
2 He was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name [was] Jehoaddan of Jerusalem.
3 And he did [that which was] right in the sight of the LORD, yet not like David his father: he did according to all things as Joash his father did.
9 And Jehoash the king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, The thistle that [was] in Lebanon sent to the cedar that [was] in Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son to wife: and there passed by a wild beast that [was] in Lebanon, and trode down the thistle.
10 Thou hast indeed smitten Edom, and thine heart hath lifted thee up: glory [of this], and tarry at home: for why shouldest thou meddle to [thy] hurt, that thou shouldest fall, [even] thou, and Judah with thee?
11 But Amaziah would not hear. Therefore Jehoash king of Israel went up; and he and Amaziah king of Judah looked one another in the face at Bethshemesh, which [belongeth] to Judah.
15. Now the rest of the acts of Jehoash which he did, and his might, and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
18 And the rest of the acts of Amaziah, [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
21 And all the people of Judah took Azariah, which [was] sixteen years old, and made him king instead of his father Amaziah.
23. In the fifteenth year of Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel began to reign in Samaria, [and reigned] forty and one years.
24 And he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD: he departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin.
25 He restored the coast of Israel from the entering of Hamath unto the sea of the plain, according to the word of the LORD God of Israel, which he spake by the hand of his servant Jonah, the son of Amittai, the prophet, which [was] of Gathhepher.
26 For the LORD saw the affliction of Israel, [that it was] very bitter: for [there was] not any shut up, nor any left, nor any helper for Israel.
28 Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his might, how he warred, and how he recovered Damascus, and Hamath, [which belonged] to Judah, for Israel, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
29 And Jeroboam slept with his fathers, [even] with the kings of Israel; and Zachariah his son reigned in his stead.

Court Opinion: Colorado Supreme Court Opinions for Oct. 31
Matt Suoja
Editor's Note: Law Week Colorado edits court opinion summaries for style and, when necessary, length.
People v. Turner, People v. Cruse
The Colorado Supreme Court en banc affirmed in part and reversed in part two consolidated cases involving the Sixth Amendment.
Terrel Turner and Christopher Cruse were jointly tried and convicted in connection to a burglary of a marijuana dispensary. According to court records, during the second day of trial, Cruse's wife and Turner's friend, Yolanda Cruse was arrested and charged with multiple counts from an alleged hostile encounter she had with a prosecution witness and victim advocate outside the courtroom. The trial judge excluded Yolanda Cruse from the courtroom for the remainder of the trial.
On appeal, that court found Yolanda Cruse's exclusion was non-trivial and in absence of findings under Waller v. Georgia, the partial courtroom closer violated the defendants' public trial right. That court further concluded the error was structural, reversed Turner's and Christopher Cruse's convictions and remanded for a new trial.
Under the Waller test, multiple requirements need to be met: the party wanting to close the proceeding needs to advance an overriding interest that is likely to be prejudiced; that closure must be not be broader than necessary to protect that interest; the trial court has to consider other alternatives to close the proceeding; and the trial court needs to make findings to support the closure.
The high court found the exclusion of Yolanda Cruse was a closure implicating the Sixth Amendment, but under the circumstances of this case, a new trial is unwarranted. The Colorado Supreme Court concluded that any courtroom closure implicates the Sixth Amendment public trial right and the test established in Waller, with no exclusion-for-cause exception.
The high court held that when the removal of a disruptive spectator leads to a non-trivial closure, that closure needs to satisfy the Waller test. In this case, the trial court's exclusion of a spectator was a non-trivial, partial closure according to the high court.
The Supreme Court surmised the trial court failed to expressly apply the Waller test, but the record supports the closure was justified under Waller and didn't violate the defendant's Sixth Amendment rights.
"But structural error doesn't flow simply from the trial court's failure to employ the precise language found in Waller," wrote Justice William Hood in the opinion. "After all, we typically gauge compliance by substance, not form. And while the Waller court expressed some reluctance to consider certain 'post hoc assertion[s]' by the Georgia Supreme Court, it said nothing to foreclose appellate review when the trial court overlooks a particular incantation."
The Supreme Court affirmed in part and reversed in part. It affirmed the portion that ruled Yolanda Cruse's exclusion constituted a non-trivial, partial closure. But it reversed the portion of the judgment reversing the convictions and remanding for a new trial. The Supreme Court remanded the case for further proceedings consistent with the opinion.
Chief Justice Brian Boatright concurred in the judgment, agreed the defendants' public trial right wasn't violated and agreed with the majority's conclusion. Boatright, however, noted he would hold the trial court's removal of a disruptive spectator — an exclusion for cause — didn't implicate the Sixth Amendment or Waller test.
"When trial judges exclude people from the courtroom for their own conduct, that exclusion is not a closure that implicates the Sixth Amendment or Waller v. Georgia," Boatright wrote. "Rather, judges in these instances are merely exercising their discretion to ensure the safety, fairness, and efficiency of the trial. Therefore, although I agree that a new trial is unwarranted, I believe we should review this type of exclusion for an abuse of discretion and not require courts to apply the Waller factors in these situations."
In dissent, Justice Richard Gabriel agreed the exclusion constitutes a non-trivial, partial closure implicating the Sixth Amendment and Waller test. Gabriel contended the lack of express Waller findings should result in the reversal of Turner and Christopher Cruse's convictions and be remanded for a new trial.
"Instead, the majority concludes that the trial court's findings were somehow 'adequate' to support the closure order under Waller, and the majority justifies this conclusion by making what appear to me to be its own findings of fact," Gabriel wrote. "This result, however, is directly contrary to Waller's express admonition against post hoc appellate assertions that the trial court had balanced the co-defendants' rights to a public trial against any countervailing interests."

Dr. Anthony Fauci talks COVID-19 vaccine timeline: Could one impact football season?
Jason Owens
July 6, 2020, 10:11 PM ·3 min read
Dr. Anthony Fauci provided the latest update on a COVID-19 vaccine on Monday.
It's a mixed bag for the prospects of a football season.
The director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases said in a Facebook Live conversation that he expects a vaccine candidate to arrive for a Phase 3 trial in July with others following in ensuing months.
"If things go the way it looks like they're going, one of these candidates will enter Phase 3 trial for efficacy at the end of July," Fauci said, per CNN's Ryan Struyk. "Other candidates will sequentially come in, another one at the end of August, one in September and one in October."
So what exactly does that mean?
A vaccine won't arrive in time for regularly scheduled fall football. But it could provide some good news for proponents calling for moving the college football season to the spring.
Hope for answer 'by end of this year'
"We hope that by end of this year, or the beginning of 2021 we will at least have an answer whether the vaccine or vaccines — plural — are safe and effective," Fauci said, per NBC News.
Phase 3 is the final trial stage for the vaccine candidates. According to NBC, the trials will be conducted with 30,000 people in places of high levels of coronavirus transmission. Half of the subjects will be given the vaccine and the other half will not.
Dr. Anthony Fauci said on Monday that multiple vaccine candidates are approaching their final trial stages. (Al Drago/Pool via AP)
Fauci downplays mutation concerns
Fauci also provided some optimism on the nature of the virus when prompted by Dr. Francis Collins, the director of the National Institutes of Health. He's not impressed with the virus' ability to mutate, which can alter how it transmits, its ability to impact its host and its susceptibility to vaccines.
"It's an RNA virus and as we know, RNA viruses mutate," Fauci said. "But the functional consequence of that mutation so far doesn't look to be impressive."
He also said that what level of protection a vaccine will provide is unclear — and that people may require boosters to maintain its efficacy.
"We're going to assume that there's a degree of protection, but we have to assume that it's going to be finite protection," Fauci said.
Spring college football?
The bottom line for football is that a vaccine won't arrive in the fall, per Fauci's estimate. But that much has been expected. The NFL has remained on message about its intent to move forward with its season as scheduled one way or another.
College football is a different story. With multiple governing bodies overseeing the sport, there is more talk of the pandemic's threat to a fall season and discussion of moving the season to the spring. Fauci's update provides some optimism on that front.
Either way, the trajectory of the pandemic is going to have a bigger say on the reality of a football season than any plans made by leagues months in advance.

Aprilia 660cc twin shown with active aero.
Quote Reply Topic: Aprilia 660cc twin shown with active aero.
Too focused on being a superbike and in a cc class that is dying on it's arse. Who the hell needs active aero on a road bike ffs, just adds to the cost for little gain. Shame as another 200cc and a bit more confort and it might have been interesting.
half an rsv4 engine what's not to like?
Now that could be fun on track with just enough power to have fun but without the stupid amount of power of the big brother.
A 660cc super sharp handling twin floats my boat far more than it's big brother 1100.
indeed but that will also be it's undoing as a sales success. Not many people buy bikes for race tracks and it misses the boat as a road bike. Kind of as the SXV etc did.
Aprilia need another poor selling bike like a hole in the head.
I'll give the stator 6k miles.
It looks sweet but much as I hate to admit it, I agree with Spoonz. The mid range sportsbike market is dead, if Honda can't survive there no-one can.
And red crankcases are so 1970's (reminiscent of honda's red rockets) and ferrari's testa rossa, could it be Aprilia's itbreak rossa !
If that fits in the mini twin class it will change the game. Think I heard 105hp and 160kg wet. If that's not just internet rumours it could make a great track bike and will blow the Suzuki and Kawasaki mini twins out the water.
Graham Noyce used to live 2 miles from me and was regularly on track with his locally. It was art compared to what we had at the time. His parties are legendary.
Wonder how much it will cost.
Thinking more about it I think it will make a great road bike too. Or a good fun Sunday bike anyway. Being that lightweight will be great for our A and B roads and better for round town too. Plus it's really not that far off the power of a Mille if the specs are right. More than enough power for the road and should handle corner and brake brilliantly. I think I'm more excited about this than the new 1100 RSV4..
Although to counter that I'd never again buy a new bike,never again buy a new model bike with all the new model glitches,and never pay the sort of money this would undoubtedly cost on something like an Aprilia with their awful dealer network and service situation.
Likewise I would never buy a V4 given their reputation for eating engine parts,at least Ducati seem to care somewhat about their customers and I have a main dealer 5 mins away who demands his staff give excellent customer care at all time.
Not that I fancy buying a 'duc either but this 660 seems to be a potentially good road bike to me,even though it would never sell in huge numbers. Although if it turned out to be a really good bike and reliable perhaps Piaggio could succeed where the likes of Honda couldn't by satisfying a niche market?
Niche usually means small numbers but that may be the intention. A lot depends how it makes it's power but most parallel twins I have ridden have been a bit bland.
as has been said I think the market has largely matured away from superbikes unless it's a marque with big brand identity.
Of course Ian. Any new bike I see that I like I think "I'll be looking out for you in 10 to 15 years when you're cheap" ha.
I think this is targeted at the Asian market that seems to gradually be able to afford higher and higher spec bikes. I hope it is successful because I like the direction they are going with it. They seem to be using their heads on this one I think. Of course I'll probably take that back if this ends up selling for only a grand or so less than an RSV4!


Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Mix together graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, 2 tbsp (30 mL) sugar and 1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt. Press mixture firmly into bottom of 9-in. (23-cm) springform pan. Bake crust 10 to 12 min. until deeply golden. Cool completely. Reduce oven to 325°F (160°F). Bring kettle of water to boil.
Set springform pan on piece of heavy-duty foil large enough to wrap bottom and sides of pan (this is to prevent water bath from seeping into springform pan during baking). Place it inside roasting pan. In large bowl, using electric mixer, beat cream cheese, remaining 3/4 cup (175 mL) sugar and remaining 1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt until smooth and fluffy. Beat in melted white chocolate, eggs one at a time, orange zest, orange juice and vanilla. Pour batter onto crust in springform pan.
Place roasting pan (with springform inside) into oven; pour in enough boiled water into roasting pan to come half-way up outside of springform pan. Bake 50 min. to 1 hr. until batter is set but jiggles slightly in the centre. Turn off heat and let cheesecake cool in oven, with door ajar, for about 1 hr. (gradual heat decline helps prevent cheesecake from cracking). Remove springform pan from water bath. Run thin knife around cheesecake to release from pan. Cool cheesecake (still in springform pan) completely. Cover and chill overnight or up to 2 days.
To decorate, spoon melted and cooled dark chocolate into piping bag fitted with very small round tip or re-sealable bag with small corner snipped off. Using freehand, pipe lacy patterns/squiggles onto parchment paper-lined baking sheet (make patches of "chocolate lace" roughly 2-in./5-cm square). Chill 10 min. until chocolate hardens. Remove from parchment by gently peeling or lifting off with offset spatula. Remove ring of spring-form pan. Gently press pieces of "chocolate lace" onto sides and top surface of cheesecake for decoration.
Tip: Alternatively garnish with orange zest and white chocolate shavings.

DEBUTS AND NEW CONFIGURATIONS – 4th MAY 2016
Posted on 5th May 2016 by Steve WestMay 5, 2016
MC Jonathan Klein presided over an evening of familiar faces but playing in new bands. He got things underway by performing one of his own songs, "Babylon", before inviting Steve Moorhouse and Hannah Snellgrove to the stage, for the first time at our club as a duo. Hannah on guitar and whistle and Steve on mandolin played "Thirty Foot Trailer" by Ewan MacColl, Steve Earle's "Galway Girl", the traditional "Tell Me Ma" and "Forty Pound Wedding" by Skinny Lister. Then Laura came to the stage and with her accordion performed a set of mainly sea songs including "The Skye Boat Song", "Mull of Kintyre", a hornpipe called "Steamboat" and "La Mer". To finish the first half, the first of our debut bands. 'The Elderberries' consist of Huckle Berry (aka Geoff Langton), Holly Berry (aka Carole Puttick), Blue Berry (aka Derek Ayling) and Raz Berry (aka Steve West [The Hobos]). The played an Irish traditional song "Carrickfergus", "Moon River", famously sung by Audrey Hepburn in the film 'Breakfast at Tiffany's', composed by Henry Mancini and Johnny Mercer and winning them an academy award in 1961 for best song, "I Wanna Be Like You", a song from Walt Disney's 1967 film 'The Jungle Book' and written by Robert and Richard Sherman, and "You Are My Sunshine".
After the break and raffle, Jonathan sang two more of his songs; "Running For Love" and "The Angel Song". Then it was time for 'Ukejax' to hit the stage. This four piece ukelele band consist of Pete, Cis, Tony and Jan, and they started with Steve Miller's "Abracadabra" followed by "Hotel Yorba" by The White Stripes, "Ooh La La" by the Faces and Pink Floyd's "Another Brick In The Wall". Jon Ellis took up his tin whistle and performed three tunes including "Ashoken Farewell" by Jay Ungr. I've been trying to get Maurice Pearce to play at our club for some time and tonight was the the night. Well known locally in blues circles he chose the role of singer/songwriter to sing songs from his CD "On Jubilee Road". A song about the closure of the coal mines in the Midlands from a personal perspective having lived up there during those times, a song about watchmaker John Harrison who against the odds social and otherwise provided a solution for the problem of longitude, a song inspired by a trip to New Orleans and the title track.
And finally, our second debut band of the evening, 'Acoustic Friends', consisting of Geoff Robinson (guitar/vocals), Jon Rowson (fiddle), Jim Brown (banjo/vocals [The Hobos]), Dave Broom (mandolin/vocals [The Hobos]) and Max Hooper (double bass).They sang "Blind Fiddler", Steve Earle's "Copperhead Road", Geoff's "Coming Home", "Roseville Fair", another of Geoff's "A Fine Turnaround", "Man of Constant Sorrow" and as an encore "Swing Low Sweet Chariot" with much audience participation, singing and playing! A splendid end to a splendid evening.
Next time… Wednesday 1st June…. special guest…. Jimmie Lee Morris. Not to be missed!

Biphasic effects of 5-HT1A agonism on impulsive responding are dissociable from effects on anxiety in the variable consecutive number task
Miranda L. Groft
Marigny C. Normann
Paige R. Nicklas
Julia E. Jagielo-Miller
Peter J. McLaughlin
The serotonergic 5-HT1A receptor is known to be involved in both impulsivity and anxiety-related behavior. Although anxiety and impulsivity are different constructs, it has been shown that anxiogenesis can result in impulsiveness. It is therefore important to determine if the 5-HT1A receptor is involved in the commission of impulsive actions independent of its effects on anxiety. The 5-HT1A agonist 8-OH-DPAT (0.0125–0.1 mg/kg subcutaneous) increased impulsive action at low doses, but decreased it at higher doses, on the novel paced variable consecutive number with discriminative stimulus task (VCN). Neither the 5-HT1A antagonist WAY 100,635 (0.2–1.2 mg/kg subcutaneous), nor the noradrenergic antagonist and pharmacological stressor yohimbine (1–2 mg/kg intraperitoneal) altered measures of impulsivity. Stress induced by yohimbine was sufficient to produce anxiety-like behavior in the elevated zero maze, confirming that the VCN task is a selective assay of impulsive action that is not affected by anxiety. We hypothesize that the biphasic effect of 8-OH-DPAT is due to actions on presynaptic raphe 5-HT1A autoreceptors, and also postsynaptic 5-HT1A receptors. These results suggest that this receptor mediates impulsive action and that this is not secondary to its role in anxiety.

Andre Ayew, We will communicate while playing Portugal.
By Abigoal99 (self media writer) | 2 months ago
At the current World Cup in Qatar, Black Stars captain Andre Dede Ayew says they are motivated to face Portugal in their group opener.
Andre Ayew said the Black Stars are eager to start their campaign against Portugal on Thursday in a Group H matchup during a pre-game press conference.
He predicted that although the game against Portugal will be challenging, the Black Stars will demonstrate their talent on the field for the full 90 minutes. He claimed that the team had worked hard and was prepared to compete with the best.
"We are all aware that Portugal is the team with the best record going into this game.
"However, later, we must demonstrate that what appears on paper does not necessarily reflect what will occur on the pitch, proving that we are prepared.
"We are prepared and aware that we will be facing a strong team with elite players who were the European Champions a few years ago. He said at the pre-game press conference, "But we believe in ourselves, we know what lies ahead of us, and we are going to do everything to make it difficult for them.
Portugal will aim to outperform their World Cup 2018 performance, as they were eliminated by Uruguay in the second round.
Although the Selecao had been predicted to be one of the competition's favourites, they have only ever advanced to the semifinals twice (1966 and 2006).
Meanwhile, Ghana has returned to the world's greatest stage after skipping the Russian edition in 2018. The Black Stars have qualified for the World Cup four times since their initial appearance in 2006.
With two prior World Cup appearances, including the 2010 World Cup, where they advanced to the quarterfinals, Ghana has a respectable track record.
The two teams will face once more at the World Cup after their first meeting, which Portugal won 2-1, occurred in 2014.

Brewery Safety: Common Violations and How to Stay Safe
BY GRAPHIC PRODUCTS STAFF
Beer has never been a bigger business in the United States than it is today. Roughly 4,000 U.S. breweries churn out ales and lagers—more than at any point since 1873, according to the Brewers Association, an industry advocacy organization—and they produced more than 24 million barrels of beer in 2015.
But the booming sales and production numbers come at a cost: Safety.
OSHA citations at breweries more than doubled between 2010 and 2015, and according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the number of nonfatal injuries and illnesses in breweries are up 57% since 2010.
Many of these breweries are open to the public for tours and tastings, and they typically employ several brewers who work around hazardous chemicals, in confined spaces, and with dangerous equipment. It's important to understand what brewers are being cited for and how they can stay safe on the job.
Common OSHA Violations at Breweries
Here are some of the most common citations issued to breweries—and how breweries can ensure a safe, working environment for employees and visitors alike.
Confined Space Safety
Brewers occasionally spend time cleaning, servicing, or performing maintenance inside fermenters, grain silos, mash tuns, kettles, and more. Given all this, OSHA inspectors have commonly cited breweries for not providing safe practices while working in these confined spaces.
29 CFR 1910.146, OSHA's regulation that governs permit-required confined spaces, defines a "confined space" as an area that meets the following three conditions:
Is large enough and so configured that an employee can bodily enter and perform assigned work; and
Has limited or restricted means for entry or exit; and
Is not designed for continuous employee occupancy.
Where a confined space could pose a hazard to a worker, OSHA requires several safeguards to ensure confined space safety. Those include:
Written Confined Space Permit Program: OSHA requires a written program that, among other things, identifies and evaluates the hazards that may be present, requires testing the atmospheric conditions of a confined space, and includes instructions for summoning rescue and emergency services.
Entry Permits: Employees must receive a confined space entry permit, signed by the entry supervisor, before performing work in a confined space.
Worker Training: Employers must provide all necessary training for workers who may enter a permit-required confined space.
Graphic Products' free Best Practice Guide to Confined Spaces identifies hazards, outlines OSHA regulations, and helps employers develop procedures to prevent injuries and fatalities.
Ergonomic Injuries
Brewers may spend much of their day transporting kegs, lifting bags of grain, and performing other labor-intensive operations.
It's no surprise, then, that ergonomic violations are commonly cited under the OSHA General Duty Clause.
Given that OSHA does not yet have a specific standard regarding ergonomics, breweries can be cited under the clause, which mandates that employers provide a workplace "free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm."
Ergonomic injuries are a recognized hazard, which means employers are at risk when they don't attempt to mitigate the dangers associated with improper lifting tasks.
Process Safety Management Violations
Most breweries rely on ammonia refrigeration to keep beer and other supplies cold. What many don't realize is that ammonia is one of the dangerous chemicals covered under 29 CFR 1910.119, OSHA's regulation for preventing or minimizing the release of toxic, reactive, flammable, or explosive chemicals.
Breweries have been cited more than 50 times under the standard since 2010. The citations cover various violations, including:
Failure to develop a process hazard analysis in accordance with the standard
Failure to outline processes for operating and emergency use of refrigeration systems
Failure to create written procedures and train employees to maintain relevant equipment
Learn more about the standard, developing a process hazards analysis, and more.
Lockout/Tagout Violations
Brewers occasionally shut down fermentation tanks, mash tuns, kettles, bottling lines, and more to perform maintenance or service these machines. In doing so, they must follow specific lockout/tagout (LO/TO) practices and procedures to safeguard employees from the unexpected startup of machinery and equipment.
LO/TO violations are routinely among OSHA's most common citations each year, but breweries can take a few steps to ensure safety while performing these tasks.
Understand LO/TO program requirements: 29 CFR 1910.147, OSHA's requirements for the control of hazardous energy, requires that employers create a LO/TO program that protects employees from all sources of hazardous energy (including electrical energy, hydraulic pressure, gravity, and heat). Download your free comprehensive Lockout/Tagout Best Practice Guide here.
Create written procedures: OSHA requires employers to create and employ written procedures on what will be done to control hazardous energy.
Learn more about creating a lockout/tagout program that complies with OSHA requirements.
Hazard Communication Violations
Water, hops, grains, yeast, and other ingredients may all be used at various points in the brewing process, creating the need for chemical cleaning agents once the beer has been bottled, kegged, or canned.
29 CFR 1910.1200 is OSHA's regulation that governs the labeling of chemical hazards in the workplace (more commonly known as HazCom 2012). Breweries have been cited on roughly 50 occasions since 2010 for various hazard communication violations, including:
Missing or incomplete hazard communication plans
Missing or inadequate chemical labels and Safety Data Sheets
Lack of effective training on handling chemicals or monitoring the presence of chemicals
Graphic Products' free Best Practice Guide to HazCom 2012 Labeling helps employers understand OSHA's chemical labeling rules, provides a broad overview of HazCom 2012, and outlines the new labels.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Violations
Boiling water, toxic cleaning chemicals, and hazardous vapors are just some of the hazards brewers may face on any given day. It's important that employees wear the right equipment in these scenarios, yet breweries have been cited repeatedly for not providing proper PPE, as required in 29 CFR 1910.133(a)(1). OSHA's standard for eye and face protection maintains that employers provide the appropriate gear when employees are exposed to hazards from a variety of sources.
The PPE standard outlines the types of PPE designed to protect the eyes and face, various hazard types, and requirements for when gear must be provided.
Forklift and Powered Truck Violations
Breweries rely regularly on forklifts and powered trucks to transport raw materials, move and reach equipment, and lift heavy items (such as pallets of kegs). Yet brewers have been cited numerous times in recent years for failing to train employees to safely operate forklifts and powered trucks.
OSHA's requirements for forklifts and powered trucks can be found in 29 CFR 1910.178. The standard maintains that employees receive training and evaluation before operating a powered truck. The training should consist of the following steps:
Trainees may only operate a forklift or powered truck under the supervision of a colleague or manager equipped with the knowledge, training, and expertise to offer training. The training must be given in a manner that does not endanger any employees.
Training must include a mix of formal instruction (including lectures, written materials, and visual presentations), practical training (including demonstrations given by the trainer and exercises undertaken by the trainee), and an evaluation of the trainee's competence.
Training should cover numerous topics related to safely operating powered trucks, including steering, how to use controls and instrumentation, visibility, workplace conditions, and more.
