Parses QRNA output (E.Rivas: http://selab.janelia.org/software.html ftp://selab.janelia.org/pub/software/qrna/).
This module is not complete, but currently it packs information from each QRNA alignment into a single Bio::SeqFeature::Generic object.
Not all options for QRNA output have been tested or tried. It has been tested on sliding window output (-w -x) and shuffled output (-b or -B).
At some point we may have more complicated feature object which will support this data rather than forcing most of the information into tag/value pairs in a SeqFeature::Generic.
The winning model for any given alignment test will be the name stored in the primary_tag field of feature. The bit score will stored in the score field. The logoddpost is available via the a tag/value pair. This example code will show how to print out the score and log odds post for each model.
The start and end of the alignment for both the query and hit sequence are available through the Bio::SeqFeature::FeaturePair interface, specifically Bio::SeqFeature::FeaturePair::feature1 and Bio::SeqFeature::FeaturePair::feature2. Additionally if you have run QRNA with an input file which has the location of the alignment stored in the FASTA filename as in (ID/START-END) which is the default output format from Bio::AlignIO::fasta produced alignment output, this module will re-number start/end for the two sequences so they are in the actual coordinates of the sequence rather than the relative coordinates of the alignment. You may find the bioperl utillity script search2alnblocks useful in creating your input files for QRNA.
Some other words of warning, QRNA uses a 0 based numbering system for sequence locations, Bioperl uses a 1 based system. You'll notice that locations will be +1 they are reported in the raw QRNA output.

U.S. basketball team's shock defeat to France
U.S. basketball team's shock defeat to France after a poor game of "Even Durant and Lillard were sluggish."
American basketball is no longer the best in the world. It seems difficult to win a medal, not to mention a gold medal. 토토사이트
The U.S. men's basketball team, led by coach Greg Popovich, lost 76-83 to France at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics Men's Basketball Group A qualifying round held at Saitama Super Arena on the 25th.
The problem of the U.S., which suffered two losses in the evaluation match, was repeated. The defense was wide open, and the organization was not in sync. The players were overconfident in their personal skills, and even one-on-one attacks didn't work. France was also more enthusiastic about aggression and victory.
The U.S. has drawn up the starting lineup with Damian Lillard, Jack Lavigne, Kevin Durant, Raymond Green and Bam Adebayor. Durant and Lillard, the main players, showed extreme shooting conditions. Lillard, who used to shoot freely on the half-line, even hesitated to shoot.
The French goal that "NBA Defender of the Year" Rudy Govere endured was not easy. France won the rebound 42–36. Evan Ponier played well, exploding 28 points outside.
The U.S., trailing 37-45 in the first half, turned the tables 69-63 in the fourth quarter. But Reid didn't last long. Ponier hit an outside shot and eventually allowed a reversal.
The U.S., which lost two points at the end of the fourth quarter, missed Durant, Lavigne and Green's three consecutive three-point shots. Even Lillard, who believed in him, fell in the last attack and ruined the game with his worst play, even committing fouls.
Lillard scored 11 points with a 30 percent fielding rate and Durant only scored 10 points with 33 percent fielding. It was a graduation exhibition unlike a superstar who earns tens of billions of won in annual salary in the NBA. Zuru Halladay, who won the NBA Final, scored 18 points, but he also failed to score an important three-point shot at the end.
Since the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, the United States has invited NBA stars to the Olympics. It was the worst Olympic performance in the history of the United States to win bronze at the 2004 Athens Olympics. Perhaps you will see the worst U.S. basketball ever in Tokyo this year. At the 2019 China Basketball World Cup, the U.S. finished seventh.

There are all sorts of artists in the world. Of course, the most famous tend to be painters and sculptors, but there are many more and varied ways to express oneself than on canvas or with marble. One way is through miniatures! And the American Treasure Tour has more miniatures than you can shake a stick at (whatever that means!). One of the newest arrivals is a depiction of the fantasy mancave of its creator - whose name we sadly don't even have. But, based on the fact that the mancave has a space inside for a motorboat, taxidermy fish, and a number of rods, we're going to guess that this is the vision of an avid fisherman.


St Patrick's Church Trim is described as a Gothic Revival style church. It was built circa 1900. The church is surrounded by landscaped grounds that overlook Trim Castle.
Designed by William Hague, architectural quality is apparent in the scale, form, features and materials. The combination of the rock-faced rubble limestone and ashlar dressings provide interesting textural detail. The artistic execution of the carved detailing on the exterior and the interior features, such as the mosaics, reredos and the stained glass windows, compliment and enhance this imposing church.
The interior of the church is ornamented by Celtic mosaics, a white marble reredos by Pearse and Sons, side alters and communion rail by W.H. Byrne and stained glass windows depicting the crucifixion and the history of Trim.

Turkish Parliament Rejects Armenian Genocide Recognition Bill
Garo Paylan introduced legislation for the recognition of the Armenian Genocide
ISTANBUL—A draft law submitted by Garo Paylan, an Armenian member of the Turkish Parliament representing the Peoples' Democratic Party, to the Grand National Assembly of Turkey for the "Recognition of Armenian Genocide," "Removal of the Names of Genocide Perpetrators from Public Places" and "Amendment to Turkish Citizenship Law" has been rejected by the Parliament Speaker's Office, reported the Bianet news site.
In the rejection letter signed by Parliament Speaker Ismail Kahraman, the draft law submitted by Garo Paylan has been described as "rude and hurtful" and the statements of Paylan have been referred to as "insult to your own country" and "against our national consciousness and history."
In the letter, it has been stated, "The statements in the draft law have been considered to be hurtful as per the Article No. 67 of the Internal Regulation on the grounds that they accuse the Republic of Turkey as well as the history and shared past of the Turkish Nation and they charge the Turkish Nation with committing a crime of genocide."
On April 20, Paylan submitted a bill to the Grand National Assembly of Turkey, requesting the recognition of Armenian Genocide, removal of the names of genocide perpetrators from public places and an amendment to the Turkish Citizenship Law.

This is not a surreal scene painted by Salvador Dali, but rather a workshop convened by The Finance Innovation Lab (which Rachel co-founded). The purpose? To capture the energy created by the financial crisis to bring together people who don't normally talk to one another to design a new financial system. This group knew that unusual solutions were needed — ones that acknowledge the complex interconnected issues that make a failing system so hard to transform.
Systempreneurs focus on addressing some of the largest, most complex challenges of our time — from healthcare to food to politics — by taking on our most entrenched and broken systems. Consider this example: the Future of Fish. To tackle the growing problem of overfishing, they mapped the current supply chain, identified entrepreneurs who are working to fix failing parts of the process, and then supported them to succeed. Another example is the Finance Innovation Lab, which hosted the meeting of unusual suspects mentioned above. To create a system that is more democratic, responsible, and fair, they run an accelerator program that supports new business models that could bring diversity to the financial system. To break down barriers to new entrants they also build coalitions of civil society players to jointly lobby for policy change, recognizing the importance of this stakeholder group to open the door for new financial models to emerge.
1. They create pathways through seemingly paralytic complexity.
Systempreneurs avoid playing the "blame game" and instead point at root causes, highlighting the interconnection between problems. Masters of translation, they use language that connects people to a larger purpose and dissolves sides. They are conveners rather than activists, careful not to align themselves with positions that would harm neutrality, but they often sweep in after public discussion to bring together people who have been disturbed by a debate and turn that energy into action.
Systemprenuers are experts in using quick feedback loops to correct the direction of their work. They acknowledge how delicate new projects, new business models, new strategies feel during the creative process so they create safe spaces where pioneers can meet, test, and refine their ideas over and over before being released into the world.
2. They host "uncomfortable alliances" amongst friends and foes.
Systempreneurs are skilled hosts, bringing together unusual suspects. They identify the right people to bring to a party – carefully considering the individual's personal qualities, rather than just a job title. They often have limited power themselves and rely on their role as a trusted, neutral, and honest peer to facilitate difficult conversations between people who don't agree. They never want to be the star of the show, but they aim to cultivate the conditions for meaningful conversations.
They act with humility and welcome people with style, dignity, and gratitude. Systempreneurs appreciate that the process of convening is as important as the content discussed and go to great lengths to empower people who hold potential solutions. They are notorious for their hours spent thoughtfully connecting people by email and know that the secret is to nudge business partners to become friends, encouraging bonds to form in a deeply human way.
3. They create groundswells around new solutions.
Supporting activists to develop new campaign strategies that can build the capacity of NGO's, as Campaign Lab does in the U.K.
Many of our current systems — energy, finance, food — were designed at a different point in history when we didn't consider how limited resources are. All of these systems now need to be redesigned with sustainability in mind. Systempreneurs are playing a critical role, experimenting with how to change these outdated, incumbent systems and strengthening them to fit our current reality, but this small but growing group aren't yet getting the support they need.
What would boost their chances of success? For starters, we need to find ways to bring the global community of systempreneurs together. They know from their own work that a sense of camaraderie and a place to connect, learn, and share challenges can accelerate success. Yet this group hardly know one another.
Second, we need to get them funding. Systempreneurs are still pretty rare, funders often don't know about them, and their projects don't fit the typical funding profile. Their strategies are emergent and the outcomes of their projects cannot be easily predicted making it difficult to assess their effectiveness. But funding is critically needed to get these projects off the ground and to sustain them. We need to continue to build a pipeline of these systems changers. And while systempreneurs often incubate others' efforts as part of their strategies, there are currently no intensive incubators designed specifically for systempreneurs. This group is so busy running their projects that they rarely have a chance to write down what they're learning, but we need to capture and share their best practices.
Changing the status quo sometimes feels impossible. Systempreneurs bring a breath of fresh air to that challenge. They create spaces outside of the current system with a "can do" attitude. They dodge the same-old power dynamics and focus on building solutions that work.

Real Estate Trends to Watch for in Fall of 2017 - ZINC Financial, Inc. | ZINC Financial, Inc. | Your leading source for investor rehab money.
It's nothing but good news for house flippers this fall. All of the real estate Fall 2017 trends follow what we've seen over the last few years – low inventories, rising home prices, increased buyer confidence, and rising rents. Whether you're looking for your next buy and hold property or looking to break into the house flipping industry for the first time, your timing is excellent.
ATTOM Data Solutions reports that homeowners who sold their homes in the second quarter of 2017 enjoyed an average price gain of $51,000 and an average return of 26%. That was the highest average price gain since 2007, when those numbers were $57,000 and 27%.
In a separate report, ATTOM Data Solutions found that the total number of new foreclosures in the US during the first six months of 2017 was 428,400. That marks a 20% decrease from the same period one year prior. Despite these drops, house flipping remains incredibly strong as more flippers turn to private funding, larger flips, and more stable business models that don't rely on predatory practices.
com crunched the numbers (again, from ATTOM Data Solutions), and found that in 2017, house flippers are making gross returns of 48.6%. They estimate that 20% to 30% of those returns go toward covering expenses. Owners of rental properties are making 13% ROI, on average, this year. And your own home is likely to have appreciated 10% this year, with a 5-year appreciation of 44.8%, on average.
com also reported that the for-sale housing inventory across the nation dropped 1% between August and September and is down 9% from September 2016, which is pushing home prices up. The median time on the market for properties listed on realtor.com was 69 days in September, which is eight days less than the same time last year.
Put all of this house flipping news together, and it means we are looking at a seller's market that is expected to continue for the next several months. Typically, home buying tends to slow down in late fall and winter, but those anticipated dips are unlikely to have a major impact on these overarching trends.

Stars' All-Time Greatest Free Agent Signings
July 28, 2021 by Sam Nestler
Free agency is vital to a teams' success. It can easily be the difference that leads an NHL club to a championship. However, it can also be the reason they fail. In their history, the Dallas Stars have made some transactions through trades, drafts, and free agency that have changed their franchise. In particular, there are five free-agent signings that stand out. Each of these players not only made a huge impact on the team, but some of them helped the Stars win their first and only Stanley Cup.
5. Alexander Radulov
Alexander Radulov has had a strange career since coming into the league in 2006. He played two seasons with the Nashville Predators before moving back to Russia to play in the Kontinental Hockey League. After his eighth season in Russia, he returned to the NHL for one season with the Montreal Canadiens. He had a solid season, scoring 54 points in 76 games with the Habs. In the summer of 2017, the Stars were looking to fill some holes offensively, so Jim Nill took a chance, signing the Russian winger. The move worked out perfectly for the Stars and him as he found instant success in Texas. Similar to when Tyler Seguin was traded to the Stars, Radulov found instant chemistry and friendship with the captain, Jamie Benn.
The NHL was then introduced to the "super line" of Seguin, Benn, and Radulov, which was one of the best lines in the league. Radulov racked up 72 points in 82 games in his first season with the Stars, a career-high. The following season, he duplicated that number, doing so in only 70 games. His production dipped a bit the following two seasons as he battled injuries and the Stars had trouble scoring as a team.
Where he really shined though, was in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. In 2018-19, he tallied four goals and five assists in 13 games before the Stars were eliminated in Game 7 of the second round by the St. Louis Blues. In 2019-20, he was one of the best players in the Edmonton bubble. During the Cinderella run to the Final, Radulov scored eight goals, including four game-winners. His most memorable came early in overtime of Game 3 of the Western Conference Final.
He also added 10 assists in the 27 games of the playoffs, finishing fifth on the team in scoring. Radulov enters the final year of his contract in 2021-22 and will be coming off of a core surgery with a lot to prove after missing most of last season.
4. Joe Pavelski
Joe Pavelski was a hero and captain for the San Jose Sharks until 2019. He played 13 seasons with the Sharks before making the first move of his career. The Stars knew what he was capable of and believed he still had more left in the tank, even at the age of 35. It was a slow start in Dallas for the multi 40-goal scorer, but once he became acclimated, he shined. Going into the COVID-19 stoppage in 2020, he had found his game and was producing at a much higher level. When the teams returned in the Edmonton Bubble for the Stanley Cup Playoffs, he showed how impactful he can be.
Joe Pavelski, Dallas Stars (Jess Starr/The Hockey Writers)
In the 27 games on the Stars' run to the Final, Pavelski scored 13 goals and added six assists. He scored his first playoff hat trick in a crucial late comeback win against the Calgary Flames in round one. Dallas was 12 seconds from falling behind 3-1 in the series when Pavelski scored his hat-trick goal to tie the game. It was the theme of the playoffs for the club and he was a huge part of that. It seemed that every time they needed a late goal, he was the one to deliver.
In the 2020-21 season, he was the Stars' best player. He began the season on a tear, scoring seven goals in as many games and racking up 14 points. Even though the offense struggled for Dallas, Pavelski did not. He finished the season with 25 goals, 13 of which came on the power play, which led the entire NHL. He was also a part of the emergence of a new top-line featuring Pavelski, Roope Hintz, and the rookie Jason Robertson. The three of them became one of the top lines in the NHL and look to improve on what they did next season. With one year remaining on his contract, he will be a big part of an important 2021-22 season for the Stars.
3. Anton Khudobin
Anton Khudobin is a rare NHL goalie. He stands only 5-foot-11 making him one of the shortest in the league. However, he makes up for his size with his energy and athleticism. A career backup goaltender, Khudobin played for the Minnesota Wild, Carolina Hurricanes, Boston Bruins, and Anaheim Ducks before making his way to Dallas in 2018. The Stars were looking for a versatile backup to Ben Bishop that was able to play the tough games but also could perform as a starter when Bishop was out with injuries. The Russian filled that role better than they could have ever imagined.
The Bishop-Khudobin duo was one of the best across the league. Khudobin played in 41 games as the two goalies combined for a .930 save percentage (SV%) and a 2.30 goals-against average (GAA) in their first season in 2018-19. It is no coincidence that Bishop had one of the best seasons of his career either (.934 SV%,1.98 GAA). During the following season, the trend continued. In the shortened 2019-20 season, Khudobin led all goalies with a .930 SV% while Bishop had another fantastic season.

Khudobin made his biggest contribution to the team in the Edmonton bubble during the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Bishop sustained another serious injury, and it was unknown when he would be able to return. Khudobin ended up playing 24 of the 27 games during the Stars' run to the Final. He was the Stars' best player through the first three rounds and finished the playoffs with a 14-10 record, just two wins short of the Stanley Cup. Without his spectacular play, the battered and bruised Stars likely would not have made it out of the second round.
In 2020-21, he was forced to play a starting role again, with Bishop missing the entire season after knee surgery. He struggled in this role, having the worst season of his career and paving the way for Jake Oettinger to shine. With Bishop looking ready for the 2021-22 season, Khudobin hopes to excel in his backup role once again.

2. Brett Hull
Brett Hull was the missing piece in the 1998-99 season for the Stars. A proven goal scorer with multiple teams in his career, Hull was signed to play alongside Mike Modano on the top line. Those two caught fire and helped the Stars get over the hump in the playoffs.
Modano was a point-per-game player during their run while Hull added eight goals. His most memorable goal will forever be the Stanley Cup winner in Game 6 against the Buffalo Sabres. One of the most controversial goals in NHL history, Hull found the rebound of a Jere Lehtinen shot in triple overtime and beat a sprawled out Dominik Hasek to give the Stars their first and only Stanley Cup in franchise history.
While this will forever be his shining moment in a Stars jersey, he was even more instrumental in their run to the Final the following season. In 1999-2000, Dallas came within two wins of repeating as champions before falling to the New Jersey Devils. In 23 games, he scored 11 goals and added 13 assists, a large improvement from his playoff performance in 1999. This time, he will be remembered for an assist rather than a goal. His shot from the point in triple overtime of Game 5 (I sense a theme here) was deflected by Modano past Martin Brodeur to give the Stars the 1-0 win and keep their season alive. Hull was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2008 and will forever be a hero to Stars' fans.
1. Ed Belfour
Eddie "The Eagle" Belfour was a savior for the Stars. In an era where NHL goalies included Martin Brodeur, Patrick Roy, Dominik Hasek, Grant Fuhr, Tommy Salo, and more, Belfour had a tough task if he was going to get the Stars to the ultimate goal. After coming to Dallas in 1997, he put up heroic numbers in his first two seasons, finishing near the top in GAA (1.88 & 1.99). When it came to the playoffs though, he reached a new level. During the 23 playoff games in 1999, he held a 1.67 GAA and a .930 SV%, starting every game. He was constantly up against the best goalies in the league and during this season, he would have to beat four of them. On their way to the Stanley Cup, he out-dueled Salo, Fuhr, Roy, and eventually Hasek.

To add to his resume, he was perhaps even better the following season. Even though the Stars fell short of the Stanley Cup, he was a huge reason for being so close. Once again getting through Salo and Roy, he recorded four shutouts and increased his SV% to .931 in 23 games. Unfortunately for Stars fans, Dallas was unable to solve Brodeur on the other end and the run fell just two wins short. Belfour was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2011.
It is amazing what bringing in one player can do for an NHL team. Sometimes, a team is just one piece away from a championship run and the key is finding which piece. Belfour and Hull were the missing pieces for the 1999 Stanley Cup, who will be the next piece to bring a championship to Dallas? Perhaps, that player is on this list.

Pakistani newspaper "The Express Tribune" reported that the Peshawar High Court (PHC) had directed the Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) to submit the inquiry report of the Airblue plane crash in Islamabad that killed all 152 people on board in July 2010.
The Airblue Crash Affectees Organisation (ACAO) had filed a written petition asking for the Airblue fleet to be grounded in public interest till the findings of the inquiry report were made public.
The Chief Justice observed that before the court can pass any order for interim relief, responsibility has to be fixed in the inquiry, since the grounding of the airline would have serious consequences. The bench directed the CAA to submit the inquiry report if it has been finalised by the federal government.

What We Learned From The EShip Summit This Summer
The last time I talked at length about ecosystems was likely in my high school biology class. Or perhaps it was when I helped my son with his science project in 5th grade.
Until I attended the Kauffman Foundation's inaugural EShip Summit this summer in Kansas City, I certainly hadn't considered my community as a complex ecosystem, with each business, organization and resident playing a vital role.
Victor Hwang, Kauffman's vice president of entrepreneurship, welcomed the group with a vision and a challenge. Drawing from his book "The Rainforest: The Secret to Building the Next Silicon Valley," Hwang encouraged those of us in attendance to look at our economic communities not as rigid, highly-managed rows of corn or wheat, strictly regulated with oversight to keep out pests and invasive species.
Rather, Hwang challenged us all to shift our perspectives to look at our economic bases as rainforest, filled with thousands of flora and fauna all working collectively to maintain a lush and ever-thriving ecosystem resistant to whatever attacks or threats may occur.
As Hwang and the Kauffman Foundation through their ESHIP Summit playbook state, entrepreneurship (and in my opinion business in general), doesn't exist in a vacuum. Healthy, robust business communities are the result of countless relationships and organizations working collectively in any given community. The healthiest ecosystems include these key elements:
Entrepreneurs: The movers, shakers, doer and dreamers and those that support new businesses.
Talent: The human engine that translates ideas into practice and product
Institutional Knowledge: The people and organizations in a community with the knowledge and resources to support businesses and entrepreneurs
Champions: Individuals that support and encourage entrepreneurs and critical business leaders in the ecosystem
Onramps: Those access points where entrepreneurs and small business owners can enter into the system and participate in the business community
Intersections: The facilities, social meet-ups or other environments that foster and encourage the interaction of people, ideas and resources.
Stories: The message individuals, organizations and businesses communicate to themselves as well as internal and external audiences about their business ecosystem
Culture: The rich social capital – collaboration cooperation, trust, and focus on the overall common good.
As I sat in the audience, I considered what the role of the Amarillo Economic Development Corporation was in Amarillo's business ecosystem. From my vantage point, I feel we play a vital role in the cultivation of a robust and healthy business community.
For more than 25 years, the Amarillo EDC has served the greater Amarillo area through our mission to grow the economy. It is also through this commitment to our mission that we are champions of local and regional business. Year in and year out, we work with other area organizations, civic leaders and businesses as advocates and cheerleaders for Amarillo business owners and corporate leaders.

Most importantly, I believe, is the duty of the AEDC to tell the story of Amarillo to national and international audiences that aren't aware of all that this great community has to offer. Day after day, our staff spreads the message of opportunity and growth, family values, grit and tenacity to businesses leaders, consultants and executives from around the world.
Whether we are promoting advanced manufacturing, educational resources and advancements, a dedicated workforce or entrepreneurial opportunity, we are excited and honored to carry these messages to the rest of the world.
My challenge to other area business, organizations or even just area residents is to consider what role you play in Amarillo's ecosystem.
Are you a true champion for our local business owners and entrepreneurs? Do you help facilitate any on-ramps or intersections that can help shape our culture or recruit talent? What story are you telling your employees, your clients and your family about this community?
We all have a role to play. Discover yours and join us in making Amarillo a city we are all proud of.
See what the Amarillo + Inc. Partnership could bring more business to our community.

Ice boating can be traced back thousands of years as a form of transportation in Scandinavia, and it spread to the United States with immigrants in the 1800s.
Somewhere along its journey, ice boating became a racing sport and an outlet for fun, albeit cold fun, but fun that has captured enthusiasts across ice-ridden states.
In 1881, an ice boating pennant race was held on the Hudson River, and in 1948, the activity was featured on the cover of an Action Comics Superman edition.
Hypes discovered the sport as a child in the pages of magazines at the library but did not start participating until the late 1980s, when he built his first craft.
Now he spends as much spare time as possible speeding across the ice as long as the thickness is at least 4 inches and the wind is blowing.
A network of about 30 ice boaters hits frozen lakes and rivers across Colorado. Three are from Loveland, and in late December and January, they can be seen sailing across different frozen lakes in and around the city.
When the ice melts, many trade the blades for wheels and sail across dry lake beds, again powered by the wind. Hypes and his fiancée share the summer wind sailing in Wyoming and New Mexico, and this year, will marry at a gathering.
But with warmer weather still months away, Hypes and Kellogg (who sails on water in the summer) monitor the ice and wait for the wind, then hurry to the lake with plenty of protective clothing and a hankering for an adrenaline rush.
"They get going real fast," Kellogg said.
"There's a little bit of danger. I'd call it an extreme sport."


US Standard sieves from #10 to #400, with sieve openings from 2000 to 37 micrometers.
The Alpine Air Jet sieve tester measures the particle size profiles in powdered ingredients and products. The Alpine uses an air jet to lift particles from the surface in conjunction with a vacuum to draw them back down and through the sieve. This action prevents sieve binding.
Please provide the sieve sizes to be tested, either US Std sieve numbers or particle size range to be covered (micrometers, millimeters, or inches).
This is the optimal test to use on products that may bind to a sieve.

Vieille Montagne was a zinc mine in Kelmis (La Calamine), a town in Belgium between Liège and Aachen.  The mine's name is French for "old mountain", and this is also reflected in its German name,  (earlier, ). The mine was once a bone of contention between Prussia on the one side and the United Kingdom of the Netherlands (later Belgium) on the other, that resulted in a piece of land that became the territory of Neutral Moresnet.

History

After he developed an original refining process, Belgian industrialist Jean-Jacques Dony received a decree from the Napoleonic authorities in 1806, allowing him to mine the zinc ore deposit at La Vieille Montagne near Liège. At that time, the area belonged to the French département of the Ourthe. After Napoleon's defeat, in 1816 the département was divided between Prussia, the Netherlands and the neutral zone of Neu-Moresnet, which contained the zinc mine. The  ( 'Vieille Montagne Zinc Mining Company and Foundries') was created in 1837, after the independence of Belgium (which took over the Dutch claim to the neutral zone). The Belgian mine continued its operation until the end of the nineteenth century, when a workforce of 300 produced 8,500 ton of crude zinc annually.

The company opened a second zinc mine in Zinkgruvan in Sweden, which is still in operation. It also ran a harbour in Åmmeberg to ship the zinc. The ore was shipped to another affiliate in Balen, Belgium.

The  company of Belgium (or 'VM' for short) came to England in 1896, specifically to the small remote village of Nenthead in the Pennine Hills of Cumbria. The company survived two world wars and the inter-war economic depression, as well as fluctuations in the geological supply and market demand for zinc and lead. Then in 1949, after fifty-three years of operation, the VM sold its mineral leases, plant and equipment and left.

In the department of Ariège in France, the VM company took the lease on the zinc mines at Bentaillou in the Pyrenees, also after World War II.

The name became synonymous with zinc oxide  and with rolled zinc, especially for building applications. The company was the world's oldest and also largest zinc producer, producing at its peak at least 149,000 tonnes per year. In 1989 Vieille Montagne was merged into the Union Minière group, based in Belgium, which became Umicore in 2003. The group continues its rolled zinc activity under the brand VMZinc, which still refers back to the historical link with Vieille Montagne.

Strike in Balen
In 1971 it was discovered the workmen in the other Belgian plants had a much higher salary for similar work. The workers in Balen wanted a raise. This led to a dispute between the workmen, the trade unions and the directors board. The 1500 workmen in Balen went on strike, but this was not accepted by the trade unions. As a result, the workmen were not paid. The strike went on for 9 weeks. Many charities were set up by inhabitants of Mol and Balen. Jef Sleeckx, a politician, convinced the banks to cancel payments temporarily for affected workmen. Landlords did not ask rent during the strike. All kind of shops gave food for free or gave the impacted workmen a temporary job. At the end, the directors board agreed and the workmen even got a higher wage than requested. The events in Balen were written in the theatre play and novel Groenten uit Balen by Walter van den Broeck. The book was filmed in 2012. All events regarding the strike did happen, all referenced places do/did exist, and only the family Debreucker is a fictive one.
