Thor finds out that his father is dying and his death will allow his evil sister Hela to escape from prison. Hela used to be the leader of the Asgard armies, but Thor's father Odin had imprisoned her because he was afraid she would become too ambitious and powerful. Now that Odin is dead, Thor's evil sister Hela, who is the goddess of death, is free and more powerful than ever. She plans to take over the Asgard throne and the universe. As soon as she arrives to Asgard, she kills anyone who doesn't stand with her or goes against her.
Hela comes out of the prison and finds Thor. Thor throws his hammer at her but she catches it and destroys it. Thor accidentally ends up on the other side of the universe on a planet called Sakaar. He gets imprisoned and forced to fight against the champion of the Grandmaster. If he doesn't win he won't be able to stop Hela and it will be the destruction of his world and the civilization of Asgardian. To his surprise, the champion of the Grandmaster he has to compete against is a good friend of his and one of the strongest Avengers; The Incredible Hulk.


Fast Moving Lava Flow in Leilani Estates Tonight.
Nice day in Volcano! No Ash fall to Date.
As of today, there has been no ash falls in Mauna Loa Estates or Volcano. We were up there today because we had a check in. My husband mowed the lawn. It was a normal day in Volcano. I have been up there every other day to check on things and it's always been fine.
The crater still has activity going on. But the explosions have not been huge. Whatever ash there is has been blown to the southwest. This is the way it normally blows. The wind blows everything away from us and Kona usually ends up with all of the vog. We were there yesterday and it was pretty bad. Then you drive to the east side and it was nicer. Now if you go down to Pahoa 22 miles south of Volcano. It is different there because of the lava flow.
The news has sensationalized this to be bigger than it is. The residents of Pahoa (Leilani Estates) are definitely being hit hard and its devastating. So our prayers go out to them. The only road closures are in Pahoa.
All other roads and airports are open. I'm sure that by the end of next month things will have settled down and the park will be open by July.
There is still alot to see on this side of the island besides the park. There is Akaka Falls, Rainbow Falls, Ziplines, Mokupapapa Discovery Center. The park rangers are there to give you the latest on the eruption. Plus the Lava Boat Tours are up and running again.
This is the best local island news information.
Lava continues to make it's way down the slopes into the ocean. The beauty of the red hot lava fountains are mesmerizing to watch. With the beauty there is destruction in her path. There have been 50 structures destroyed by the flow.
This video made by Ikaika Marzo gives you a view of just how powerful and amazing this flow is.
This is the latest maps from USGS showing the path of the flow. If you look at the map the current flow is similar to the 1955 flow. It follows the same line of activity.
The map below marks the area that the lava has now covered.
The roadways that are closed are highlighted in blue.
The closed areas are marked with the black lines.
The fissures are green and the active fissures are in red.
The lava flow is shown in orange.
Halemaumau is still sending plumes of steam and the occassional explosions into the skies. There were 2 today but nothing like last week Tuesday. The winds are blowing to the south sending the ash towards Kau. We have been lucky not to have had an ash fall in Maunaloa Estates or Volcano Village. The residents of Pahala, Wood Valley and Naalehu have not been so lucky. Lets all hope and pray for the people affected by the flow.
Driving up to Volcano on Highway yesterday morning at around 10:00 am Halemaumau Crater had begun putting on a show for us. There were cars pulled off to the shoulder and people with cameras on tripods and cell phones. Taking pictures of Mother Nature. Of course, I had to stop and join the crowd. Took a few photos there then decide to drive pass the park entrance. Drove south for a few miles and found a great viewing spot on a little hill. Stood there for awhile and got some great shots until the rangers told us we had to leave. Just as I was getting into my car there was a huge grey plume raising into the sky from the crater. It was an awesome sight to see. Snapped a few more photos and left just as the rangers were coming back from the opposite direction. Telling people to leave. I decide that the Volcano Golf Course would be a great viewing spot. It's situated a little higher then the highway. As I drove up there was at least 75 people standing on the course watching the crater put on a show. There was even the ABC news crew reporting from the Golf Course. The show went on for about 2 1/2 hours. My cell phone finally died on me, so no more pictures.
The scientists are expecting this activity to last about two and half weeks. But only Mother Nature know's. I'm sure that there will be more activity tomorrow.
This is the latest news Broadcast. Includes Representative from Puna Geothermal Plant explaining the next steps they are taking to secure facility.
Photo of Halemaumau at 5:46 PM to the right.
This morning, activity is dominated by lava fountaining, explosion of spatter more than 100 feet into the air, and an advancing lava flow from fissure 17 at the northeast end of the fissure system. As of 630 am the fissure 17 flow had traveled just under a mile roughly east-southeast parallel to the rift zone. It is turning slightly south and at this time is about one half mile south of Highway 132.
Fissure 18 that became active late yesterday is weakly active.
For the most recent map showing the locations of activity, visit this USGS website.
Posted in Eruption Activity and Updates.
Lava isn't coming up, isn't that a good thing?
The picture below explains the issue. In short, if the lava lake falls below the water table, it could lead to possible steam-produced (phreatic) eruptions.
Assuming the current trend, the USGS projects that by the middle of May the lava lake may reach the water table.
At that point, it is possible that groundwater can infiltrate the column and cause steam.
Steam is okay, but if there is a subsequent rock fall that plugs the lava conduit then a blockage may occur, which builds pressure beneath.
The pressure overcomes the rockfall dam and results in an explosion that expels the blockage material – again, not talking a Mount Saint Helens where lava is being exploded outward.
These types of explosive eruptions are short-lived; a few minutes at a time.
Small fine rocky particles could reach as far a Volcano Village and nearby communities.
Main concern is ash fall if the winds are shifted towards town (not life-threatening – mostly an irritant and nuisance).
Ash will not be hot, and in fact may fall wet due to condensation.
If prevailing winds do send a plume our way, ash deposits may be fractions of an inch.
The most analogous event occurred in 1924, and there were sporadic eruptions for approximately 2.5 weeks.
Visitors observing a steam-based (phreatic eruption) on May 24, 1924.
Finally, evacuations are not being called for because the scientists and authorities do not believe the current situation proposes an immediate threat to life or property. If that changes, Hawaii County Civil defense will notify us.
What to do if volcanic ash is falling?
Don't panic – stay calm.
Stay indoors – shelter in place.
Use a mask, handkerchief or cloth over your nose and mouth (we are trying to get some disposable masks put up at our house, but you may consider packing some of your own).
Stay indoors until the ash has settled.
Do not wear contact as these will result in corneal abrasion.
Close all windows when leaving the house of if an eruptive plume occurs to avoid fine ash particles entering the home.
If there is ashfall in our direction, following the event, do not go outside barefoot as small bits of volcanic glass, such as Pele's hair/tears, may be scattered on the ground.
Park your car in the carport if possible, or at least place the front end inside (if your vehicle is too large) in order to keep your windshield and side windows ash-free.

Bulgarian Parliament votes Oresharski cabinet into power
Written by The Sofia Globe staff on May 29, 2013 in Bulgaria, News - No comments
With the votes of the Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP) and the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (MRF), Bulgaria's 42nd National Assembly voted the socialist-nominated Plamen Oresharski cabinet into power on May 29 2013.
Former ruling party GERB, which has the largest single share of votes in Parliament, were mostly absent during the vote, and Volen Siderov's Ataka did not vote.
Oresharski's nomination was voted with 121 votes in favour, including one from GERB, and eight against – all of them from GERB.
A second vote, after GERB MPs returned to the parliamentary floor, saw Oresharski confirmed as Prime Minister with 120 votes in favour and 97 against, all of them from GERB.
In the Parliament elected on May 12, the BSP and MRF together have 120 out of the 240 seats and GERB and Ataka have the other half. The question about whether the quorum of 121 MPs required for the debate and vote on the Oresharski cabinet would be achieved was resolved when Ataka leader Volen Siderov formally registered himself as present, lending the BSP and MRF the required number.
Proceedings started just after 9am and lasted several hours, seeing a series of stormy clashes between, on the one side, GERB leader Boiko Borissov and his deputy Tsvetan Tsvetanov, and, on the other, Oresharski, BSP leader Sergei Stanishev, MRF leader Lyutvi Mestan and others from ranks of the socialists and MRF.
Initially, Borissov led GERB out of the House when Ataka made the quorum possible, but the GERB caucus later returned, for Borissov and Tsvetanov to deliver attacks on the proposed Oresharski cabinet.
A sideshow was the clashes between Siderov and Mestan, coming against a background of Borissov portraying Ataka and the MRF, customarily bitter political enemies, now effectively being in alliance with each other.
Oresharski, prefacing his introduction of the cabinet that he will head as prime minister, said that there should be a review of the role of the state in the economy, and the state should take up more regulatory and controlling duties, but should also give more freedom and entrepreneurship.
He underlined the messages that have been coming from socialist ranks in recent months and weeks, that democracy in Bulgaria and the role of Parliament needed to be "restored" and that the 2009/13 Borissov GERB government had left the country in a sorry state.
Oresharski said that the new government would have to take care of citizens' rights, oppose crime, end the random use of special surveillance, pay attention to minorities, bring media freedom, government transparency and a dialogue with the "social partners".
The former finance minister in the 2005/09 government said that the real challenge facing his government would be economy recovery. Traditional sectors in the economy should develop but new technologies should develop as well, he said.
Consistency in economic and financial policy, along with predictability, would mean lower risk and lower interest rates, he said. Unemployment was rising and a new wave of emigration was gaining speed, Oresharski said.
In a lengthy attack on the planned government, Tsvetanov recalled Oresharski's initial background in centre-right politics, before accepting the post of finance minister in the 2005 socialist-led tripartite coalition. The GERB deputy leader said that Oresharski, as finance minister in 2009, had been silent in the face of the global financial crisis.
Tsvetanov also spoke out, among other things, against socialist plans for the restructuring of the Interior Ministry and the State Agency for National Security.
Addressing President Rossen Plevneliev, who was watching proceedings from Parliament's public gallery, Tsvetanov said that these restructuring plans were intended to "isolate" the head of state by removing the security agency's reporting line from the Presidency to the National Assembly.
The vote today also brings to an end the term in office of the caretaker cabinet headed by diplomat Marin Raykov that has had charge of the country since the resignation of the Borissov government took effect on March 13.
The structure and members of the Cabinet voted into office on May 29 consists of:
Prime Minister Plamen Oresharski
Deputy Prime Minister and Justice Minister Zinaida Zlatanova
Deputy Prime Minister: Vacant
And the ministers of:
Finance – Petar Chobanov
Economy and Energy – Dragomir Stoynev
Transport – Daniel Papazov
Agriculture – Dimitar Grekov
Culture – Petar Stoyanovich
Health – Tanya Andreeva
Interior – Tsvetlin Yovchev
Defence – Angel Naidenov
Foreign Affairs – Kristian Vigenin
Environment – Iskra Mihailova
Youth and Sport – Mariyana Georgieva
Education and Science – Anelia Klisarova
Labour and Social Policy – Hasan Ademov
Investment Planning – Ivan Danov
Regional Development – Desislava Terzieva

Get Out of Your Own Way: Pushing Through External Circumstances to Find Success
Get Out of Your Own Way: Pushing Through External Circumstances to Find Success.
I've always said that 99% of your business problems are personal, and honestly, nothing could be closer to the truth. When you're starting your business there are endless moving pieces and external circumstances that give you an excuse not to get off the ground.
When these circumstances come knocking you have two choices, give in, or push forward.
Nurse Coach/RN Laura Minard knows a thing or two about starting a successful business. Not only has she pushed through her own external circumstances to establish her business, but she also helps other nurses get their coaching practices off the ground through coaching, mentorships, and apprenticeship programs.
From door to door advertising to finding your confidence, Coach Laura addresses the hardships that new business owners face, as she gives her clients a blueprint to success, which includes getting over external circumstances.
But what external circumstances are we talking about here?
External circumstances quite literally are defined as "something on the outside of a surface or body". My not-so-textbook definition is any challenge that acts as an obstacle and/or an excuse to not succeed.
External circumstances come in all shapes and sizes. From financial hardships to worrying about medical benefits, or who's going to watch the kids while you're off starting a business, anything that makes you say I can't is an external circumstance.
But like Coach Laura mentions, if you push through you will eventually find success. Whether it's one month or one year, perseverance goes a long way and can mean the difference between a successful business and a pipe dream.
If you're having trouble getting out of your own way to find success, then take heed of these tips that can increase your capacity to push through your external circumstances:
Be honest with yourself and recognize when you're playing the victim.
Try to pinpoint the underlying emotions that are telling you can't achieve your goals.
Commit to dominating your external circumstances.
Make a plan for success that includes practical solutions.
Take the leap and trust in your abilities.
Should we be mindful of external circumstances? Absolutely! But you can't let them stop you from achieving your dreams. Sure, it could mean a little extra work and effort on your part, but when it's all said and done, your persistence will pay off.

As you know, many, many Lakers feel that the biggest issue with the current Board is when 4 Commissioners voted to withdraw Board support for trying to get the Cultus Lake Park Act (CLPA) changed to bring a fair, represent ative democratic election process to Cultus. 2 Commissioners who voted to withdraw this Board support for getting the CLPA changed are running for re-election – Charlotte Hall and Carleton Toews. I have to wonder why they withdrew support?
In November 2011, the previous Board approved 3 motions directing Staff to write 2 letters to the Provincial Government and to solicit support from several other groups including First Nations, Chilliwack and the Cultus Lake Community Association, all asking to have the CLPA amended to allow just 5 Commissioners, all to be elected by Cultus Residents. Commissioner Charlotte Hall, who was on this previous Board, voted in favour of the motions. You can read the actual motions in the November 23, 2011 meeting minutes posted on the Board's website.
In the summer of 2013, the Listers circulated their petition which asked for essentially the same things the Nov. 2011 Board motions asked for. This petition was signed by over 900 citizens and had the support of MLA Laurie Throness.
At the September 11, 2013 Board meeting, almost 2 years after the November 2011 Board motions were passed, Sacha Peter submitted recommendations that all of the November 2011 motions be rescinded. It was revealed at that meeting, that Park Staff had done nothing in regards to the November 2011 Board directive. It begs the question: Why did Staff not follow Board directive? But that is a issue for the Board to deal with.
At this Sept. 11 Board meeting, 3 Commissioners (McCrea, Payeur & Shanks) wanted the Nov. 2011 motions to stand and for Staff to finally write the letters, etc. while 4 Commissioners (Hall, Peter, Skonberg & Toews) wanted these motions rescinded. The 4 got their way, the Nov. 2011 motions were rescinded and the letters will not be written. Instead, the Board majority (Hall, Peter, Skonberg & Toews) approved trying to sort out land tenure.
When these 4 Commissioners voted to rescind the November 2011 motions, they were knowingly going against the wishes of the 900+ who signed the petition.
As we know, the Lister petition got results and the CLPA was amended to bring a fair, representative democratic election process to Cultus Lake.
As Charlotte Hall is one Commissioner who voted to rescind the November 2011 Board motions (which she voted in favour of), on September 16, I asked Hall why she voted to withdraw Board support?
On September 17, Hall replied, essentially claiming that in 2011, a MLA told her the CLPA would not be changed, so why try again? Also included in that reply, Hall stated: that there are more pressing issues that need changing in the Park Act.
On September 18, I e-mailed Hall asking: What, exactly do you consider to be "more pressing" than democracy?
As Hall had not responded, on October 9, I sent a follow-up e-mail asking the same question: What, exactly do you consider to be "more pressing" than democracy?
Rick I did not reply because I assumed you have already decided on the answer yourself, however if you would like my answer I think land tenure and borrowing limits are two pressing issues that need to be addressed in the Park Act.
The democratic voting process did in my opinion need changes, was it first in line? Not in my opinion based on the last three elections at Cultus Lake when only two or three residents ran for Commissioner positions, we already had five residents sitting at the table.
Land tenure- (Isn't this the issue that Peter kept raising, both to the press and at Board meetings?) I agree it would be great to get land tenure settled, but I'm glad we got the election process changed first, because, now we have the ability to actually vote for candidates who may be pro-active in trying to get this issue resolved. The current Board, including Charlotte Hall and Carleton Toews, did next to nothing. If we had waited to get land tenure resolved before asking for any CLPA changes – we'd be waiting for a long, long time in my opinion.
Borrowing limits – I agree, the $50,000 limit established by the CLPA is totally inadequate, but that did not stop this Board from taking out a $300,000 line of credit. As part of the discussions with MLA Throness, increasing borrowing limits was discussed. It was agreed that if too many changes to the CLPA were asked for, then nothing may happen. Given this, it was decided to just ask for the voting/election changes.
We already have 5 residents on the Board – (Isn't this the same justification that Sacha Peter gave to the press?) The reason why 900+ citizens signed the petition, which lead to getting the CLPA changed, isn't based on where Commissioners live – it is based on who gets to vote for those Commissioners. It seems that Charlotte Hall still does not get the significance of this distinction which is a basic principle of democracy.
So, Charlotte Hall, based on her statements above, feels increasing borrowing limits is more important than allowing Lakers to vote for their representatives.
Given Hall's position on this basic democratic principle, come election time, you need to ask yourself if Charlotte Hall deserves your vote.

Myriam Borsoutsky, souvent simplement Myriam, est une monteuse du cinéma français, née en Roumanie le  et morte le  au sanatorium de Colmar.

Biographie
Monteuse de bon nombre de films de Sacha Guitry, dans les années 1930, Myriam Bo a accompagné les débuts au cinéma d'Alain Resnais, de Yannick Bellon qui a été son assistante et de Jean-Luc Godard. C'est une monteuse qui préférait travailler sur une Moviola, qui fonctionne comme une loupe qui permet de voir directement la pellicule, plutôt que sur une Moritone qui fonctionne déjà avec une image projetée, donc pas assez

Elle est devenue amie avec Alain Resnais dont elle fait la connaissance à Paris en 1943 et avec qui elle a des amis communs. Elle le persuade de tenter le concours de l'IDHEC. Elle ne le forme pas au montage, refusant de le prendre comme assistant-monteur en expliquant qu'elle donne trop de travail à ses assistants. Elle le présente à Nicole Védrès dont il est assistant réalisateur sur Paris 1900. Resnais la décrit comme faisant

À l'époque de son décès prématuré, Jacques Chevallier estime dans la revue Image et Son que Myriam Borsoutsky est « notre meilleure monteuse, au grand prestige tant en France qu'à l'étranger, et dont le nom était associé aux meilleures œuvres du cinéma français ».

Reports: Russell Martin Signs With The Blue Jays
Filed Under:Chicago Cubs, Peter Gammons, Pittsburgh Pirates, Russell Martin, Toronto Blue Jays
PITTSBURGH, PA - SEPTEMBER 21: Russell Martin #55 of the Pittsburgh Pirates hits a RBI single in the seventh inning against the Milwaukee Brewers during the game at PNC Park on September 21, 2014 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

(CBS) The Cubs have missed out on one of their top targets in free agency.
Catcher Russell Martin has agreed to a deal with the Toronto Blue Jays, MLB Network insider Peter Gammons reported late Monday morning. CBSSports.com MLB insider Jon Heyman confirmed it.
Martin's deal was for five years and reportedly worth $82 million, which is similar to the five-year, $85-million contract that Brian McCann signed with the Yankees last offseason.
The Cubs displayed serious interest in Martin, as 670 The Score's Bruce Levine reported recently. Chicago met with Martin during the first week of November, but in the end it appears the Cubs didn't want to pony up the money that Toronto did for Martin.
Martin's 2014 campaign was his best all-around season since 2007. He hit .290 with 11 home runs, 67 RBIs and a .402 on-base percentage. Martin was also second in the National League in throwing out 39 percent of runners.

Methane Emissions Continue to Rise
The amount of methane in Earth's atmosphere continues to rise. That is the conclusion of two new studies from the Global Carbon Project.
Researchers synthesized all known data about methane from emissions inventories, atmospheric measurements, and models to assemble a global "methane budget" that details which processes add the gas to the atmosphere and which remove it. They found that global emissions of the potent greenhouse gas totaled 576 million metric tons per year for the 2008 to 2017 decade—a 9 percent increase compared to the previous decade.
The rapid growth builds upon the rise in the atmospheric concentration of the gas that has been happening for more than a century. (Emissions briefly stabilized between 2000 and 2006.) Concentrations of methane now exceed 1875 parts per billion, about 2.5 times as much as was in the atmosphere in the 1850s. Climate scientists estimate that the gas is responsible for about one quarter of the global warming that has happened since then.
The figure above shows the changes in methane emissions from 2017 compared to the 2000–2006 average and sorted by region. Estimates were compiled through "top-down" methods—based on satellite and ground-based observations—and "bottom-up" methods—summing up all individual sources from global inventories and models. The two independent approaches are used and compared to one another as a way to see how well the methane budget is understood. In both cases, increases in methane emissions over the past two decades were widespread and statistically significant.
"The increase was primarily fueled by human activities—especially agriculture and fossil fuels," explained Benjamin Poulter, a NASA scientist and coordinator of the wetland methane emissions estimates for the Global Carbon Project. "The specific activities that we linked to the biggest increases were raising livestock, coal mining, waste disposal in landfills, and gas and oil production."
Across the study years, wetlands contributed 30 percent of global methane emissions, with oil, gas, and coal activities accounting for 20 percent. Agriculture, including enteric fermentation and manure management, made up 24 percent of emissions, and landfills comprised 11 percent. Sixty-four percent of emissions came from tropical regions of South America, Asia, and Africa, with temperate regions accounting for 32 percent and the Arctic contributing 4 percent.
High-latitude ecosystems are particularly vulnerable to climate change. Large amounts of carbon are stored in frozen soils (permafrost) and in forest vegetation in the Arctic. As it thaws, water-logged soil becomes an ideal environment for methane production. "However, we have yet to detect abnormal methane emissions in higher-latitude regions," said Poulter, "despite thawing permafrost and record-breaking air temperatures year-after-year."
There is evidence that significant amounts of carbon from thawing permafrost may be entering rivers as dissolved carbon rather than being emitted to the atmosphere as methane. Also, the high-latitude warming may be drying out Arctic ecosystems, causing carbon to leave the soil as carbon dioxide rather than methane.
NASA's Arctic-Boreal Vulnerability Experiment (ABoVE) is one major effort to improve our understanding of how climate change is affecting Arctic methane emissions. For instance, ABoVE researchers recently made hyperspectral airborne observations that confirmed the existence of millions of sources of methane around small ponds and lakes in Alaska and western Canada.
The photograph above shows a freshwater lake in Fairbanks, Alaska, that ABoVE researchers visited in 2016. The lake showed signs of thawing permafrost below the surface, including "drunken trees" that had tipped over as the soil shifted around their roots.
The video above is a data visualization that highlights several different sources of methane emissions produced around the globe and throughout the year. It was created using output from a modeling system developed and maintained by NASA's Global Modeling and Assimilation Office. Note that the height of Earth's atmosphere and topography have been vertically exaggerated approximately 50 times higher than normal in order to show the complexity of the atmospheric flow.

Foundations, Taxes
Nonprofit Strays Over the IRS Line in Making a Healthy Profit
August 20, 2013; Forbes
On May 10th, the Internal Revenue Service quietly revoked the tax-exempt status of the Life Extension Foundation, Inc. (formerly known as the Florida Cryonics Association), retroactive to 2006. It will be required to pay taxes on its activity for the whole of this period, unless it wins an appeal. The Foundation is contesting the action in a lawsuit filed at the beginning of August.
The IRS's problem with the foundation, which in 2009 had assets of more than $25 million and revenue for that year of $18 million, is that its nonprofit activities are too deeply entwined with the activities of the for-profit Life Extension Buyers Club. According to this article, "members of the Foundation receive discounts on health supplements and the Buyers Club pays royalties to the Foundation."
In 2009, the foundation did appear to dole out some cash:
The Stasis Foundation received $5 million to continue its development of a state-of-the-art facility where DNA will be stored by those who choose cryopreservation.
21st Century Medicine, a for-profit company, received $3.5 million. The company is an emerging leader in living systems preservation technology.
Suspended Animation received $1.1 million. SA stabilizes the human body cells immediately after death and transports the deceased to a cryogenic storage site. (Before you sign up, you might want to read Larry Niven's A World Out of Time to reflect on the possibility of a dystopian future State which is unkind to corpsicles )
But the IRS has concerns about the foundation's grantmaking, since it publishes no written grant application form nor any published criteria for grant selection and because Saul Kent, the founder of the Foundation and major shareholder of the Buyer's Club, has been on the boards of repeat grantees. Kent appears to be a true believer, since he had his own mother's head frozen. And we likely do not want to know much more about that.
Long story short, the IRS does not believe that the nonprofit is as independent as it should be from its grantees or from its profit-making arm.—Ruth McCambridge

New research from S&P Global Market Intelligence says the cost of building a mine is now likely to be cheaper than buying an existing one. While smart buys and merger activity has driven new mine openings in recent years, the tables seem to have turned. We catch up with S&P to find out just why they think it might be better to build than to buy in 2019.
We also take a closer look at De Beers' end-to-end diamond blockchain programme, an initiative aimed at removing fakes and blood diamonds from the supply chain, find out more about Ecuador's bold plans to more than double the value of mining in the country by 2021, and delve deeper into Newfoundland and Labrador's ambitious plan to grow the province's mining sector through the construction of five new mines and the creation of 1,400 jobs by 2030.
Finally, we investigate the results of a study from Cardiff University that examines the effectiveness of arrangements to give mine workers a voice in countries around the globe, and speak to Sirius Minerals about its new potash mine in the UK, which employs a host of new mining technologies.

What Are The Parts Of A Wood Burning Stove?
A wood burning stove helps to enhance the efficiency and thermal output of wood when used with open fires in your house. While a typical fireplace can have an efficient capacity of around 20 percent, wood combustion can achieve an efficiency of about 80 percent, which is far more heat than the fireplace lost in your home.
Each type of wood-burning stove has a distinct design and construction, but in general, the furnace is made up of the same principle parts to extract the greatest heat from burning wood.
So what are the parts of a wood-burning stove?
5 Essential Parts Of A Wood Burning Stove
The firebox is the principal element of the wood stove, where the fire is built, and more logs are placed during the fire. This is the space through which you see the brass burning and the flames flashing through the glass door.
Other components for wood burning stoves or a metal grating in a multi-combustion furnace can be found in the base of the firebox. The flutter, with the flue collar immediately behind, lies at the top of the firebox.
The outlets of the wood-burning stoves lie behind the blanket, which are flats on the top of the stove so that waste gasses are not left too fast by the fire.
By slowing down how fast the gas leaves the stove, the secondary burning of the gasses takes longer, so the stove may create more heat.
A baffle also helps reflect and return more heat to the firebox to improve secondary gas burning.
Therefore the hottest section of the stove is placed right above the fire. In addition to a baffle, it needs to cope with high temperatures in the consumption of waste gasses to generate additional heat.
Controls Of Air
Typically, primary and secondary air may be operated by hand using controls in a wood-burning stove, but tertiary air ventilation cannot normally be closed.
When primary and secondary air ventilation is opened or shut manually, you may regulate how fast and efficiently the fire in the fireplace burns the wood. Vents are operated differently in each type of wood stove, and it is thus necessary to study your user manual to learn how to make optimum use of the vents from the combustion of the wood on your specific stove.
Flue Collar
The flue collar sits on top of the fireplace, although generally behind the baffle and on top of the fireplace. The flue collar is where the wood furnace joins the furnace pipe that offers a means to safely depart the residence for fire waste gases.
The flue collar may be positioned on or off the top of the stove depending on the style of the woodstove; depending on the route the flute goes outside your home.
Sealed Doors
Usually, you notice a seal around the edge when you open a wood burning stove door, which prevents any airflow through the side of the door while it's shut.
You can notice on one of the wood fireplaces that the door of the stove is double scale, and when the door is closed, the ashtray is likewise scale-proof. Only one seal is attached to the other stove.
The seal is generally composed of fiber, fireproof and thermo-resistant fiberglass rope.
The door opening cannot be used well by most wood-burning stoves, and thus the airflow can be regulated easier through the air ventilation.
If you are still not happy, check out this video for further explanation:
Other Parts Your Wood Burning Stove May Include
Air Wash
By the front door, almost every new stove has a glass panel. In contrast to earlier designs where the smoke in the firebox can rapidly induce the glass to black, the modern stoves employ an air-wash mechanism to enable the glass to remain clean.
The air washer is an air hole on the top of the glass for combustion. Combustion air is directed on the glass within, minimizing smoke condensation and cleaning the glass.
A bottom of a fireplace for the collection of ashes, which made the stove easy to clean.
Combustor Catalytic
A ceramic insert passes through several tiny channels or tubes. (It's like a sweet pee.) Then, a coating of catalytic chemicals, typically platinum or palladium, is applied to the ceramic surface and interacts with smoke that passes through the canal, decreasing the smoke ignition temperature and burning the smoke.
A damper is a mobile platform that controls the flow of gasses into the oven. The older furnace occasionally had in the pipe a pipe damper, a circular vapor, which the operator shut or opened to decrease or increase flow by the furnace.
Catalytic new stoves in the stove itself feature a bypass damper. This is a metal plate in the stove that permits fumes and vapors, if opened, to bypass the catalytic unit, i.e., travel around. The operator closes the bypass damper when heated to the right temperature for the catalytic unit, which forces the smoke via the catalytic combustion engine.
Secondary Burn Tubes
These are metal tubes in the top of the firebox that permits the air to enter the firebox. Unburned gasses from the fuel load combine and ignite with oxygen. Smoke lost in an old fire is burnt, efficiency is increased, and emissions of smoke are reduced.
https://luckypelletstove.com/
By the end of this article, I hope that you have understood the essential parts of a wood-burning stove.
If you want a rustling fire in this winter's fresh new timber stove, consult professionals to ensure that it's all correct. Safety is the top consideration, and your system is safe and functioning by a skilled fireplace business.
Make sure your stove is not a wasted investment, and you schedule routine cleaning and inspections of your stove annually according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Once your wood stove is set up to maintain it, sit back and relax and enjoy the flames!

Influenster Releases the Most Popular Beauty Brands for Holiday 2016
Anastasia Beverly Hills is shaping up as a hit on Santa's list.
By Faye Brookman on December 21, 2016
Map of holiday wish list beauty brands.
With the final few shopping days before Christmas and Hanukkah looming, Influenster released the most popular beauty brands. The company also broke down the favorites on a state-by-state basis.
Anastasia Beverly Hills pulled in the highest total number of votes, no surprise based on women's quest for the perfect brow. Urban Decay and MAC Cosmetics were second and third, respectively. Other brands on wish lists included Too Faced in Alaska, Lancôme in Hawaii, Kat Von D in Maryland, Lush in Minnesota and Becca in Vermont. Indiana, New Mexico and West Virginia gave a nod to a retailer's own brand — the Sephora Collection.
Prestige brands dominated the landscape, with the exception of Arkansas, Nebraska, New Hampshire and South Dakota. E.l.f. Cosmetics scored big with Arkansans, ColourPop with those in Nebraska, Maybelline in New Hampshire and Cover Girl in South Dakota.
Influenster, the product discovery and reviews platform, aggregated the top-reviewed beauty brands on its web site. It combined that with an online poll of 4,065 women to uncover the beauty brands they'd like to receive this holiday season.
Members use Influenster to explore the latest products, gain fresh insight, pick up new tips, and share their opinions with others. The Influenster community spans more than 2.5 million members. Since Influenster.com's launch three years ago, more than 11 million reviews have been created on in excess of 1.7 million products.
Influenster's findings correspond the store checks days before Christmas with MAC counters bustling at Macy's and Bloomingdale's and E.l.f. selling briskly at Wal-Mart. Retailers report a healthy demand for beauty this Yule, especially in brow kits, Urban Decay palettes, makeup brushes, artificial eyelashes and bold lip colors.

AS IT HAPPENED: Britain offers help for Zimbabwe after Mugabe 'oppression'
Britain urges no violence in Zimbabwe
'No UK taxpayers' money will be used to fund Mugabe's govt'
London - Britain's Africa minister Rory Stewart arrived in Zimbabwe on Thursday for wide-ranging talks, ahead of the inauguration of a new president following Robert Mugabe's dramatic departure.
Stewart is due to meet political and business leaders, as well as human rights groups and NGOs, the UK foreign ministry said in a statement.
His arrival in the capital Harare comes just days after Mugabe's resignation on Tuesday, ending his 37-year rule as MPs gathered in parliament to impeach their 93-year-old leader.
Stewart described the historic change as "an absolutely critical moment" following "Mugabe's ruinous rule".
"The events of the last few days have given people here real hope that Zimbabwe can be set on a different, more democratic and more prosperous path," he said in a statement.
Britain is Zimbabwe's former colonial ruler.
Around 20 000 British citizens live in Zimbabwe and some 112 000 Zimbabweans live in Britain.
Britain provides around $114m in aid to Zimbabwe every year.
But relations were rocky under Mugabe, particularly over the expropriation of white-owned farms there.
"What comes next must be driven by Zimbabweans - it must be in line with the Zimbabwean constitution and will be impossible without clear resolve from the incoming government. That is what my visit here is all about.
"Britain wants to be a genuine partner for Zimbabweans as they forge a new future," Stewart said.
Zimbabwe's incoming president Emmerson Mnangagwa is due to be sworn in on Friday, following a triumphant return home this week after he was sacked as Mugabe's deputy earlier this month.

Town to seek up-front funding for Rail Trail & Streetscapes
By Editor | July 10, 2019 | 0
by Trish Rudder
The town and the state Department of Transportation's Division of Highways (DOH) are working together on the proposed Rail Trail project and Streetscapes Phase 4A that encompasses Congress Street and one block on North Washington Street.
But the DOH no longer allows the town to "pay as you go," said Rail Trail and Streetscapes committee member Pete Brown. Grant funding is now "reimbursable" or after the fact, and monies are needed now to go forward.
At the Bath Town Council meeting on July 2, Brown said the town needs to request up-front funding of $100,000 from the Morgan County Commission for the rail trail project.
Town Recorder Susan Webster said since the funding is reimbursable, the town has in the past received a line of credit from the bank. "A bridge loan can be requested," she said.
"The DOH asks for everything up front. Ask a bank if the Morgan County Commission balks," Mayor Scott Merki said.
Rail Trail committee member Rebecca McLeod said the county has a rail trail fund.
"That would be the simplest way," Webster said.
Brown said he will speak with the commissioners at today's meeting, July 10.
Webster suggested a preliminary discussion with the commission. "Involve the bank if you need to," she said.
The town council approved a funding request letter to the Morgan County Commission from Merki.
Streetscapes needs schedule
Brown then told the council that Streetscapes also needs up-front funding of $59,000. That funding request letter to the commissioners was also approved by the town council.
Brown said a project schedule is needed from the DOH.
Because the Streetscape project did not begin earlier this year as planned, committee members and the town council are concerned that construction delays will impact the early October Apple Butter Festival, which is the town's largest tourist attraction.
Merki said in the council meeting that the Streetscapes construction should begin on Congress Street "and do all the [ADA] corners first." He said the DOH cannot pave U.S. 522 if the corners are not done.
"We're running into Apple Butter," Webster said, She said Del. Daryl Cowles and Sen. Charles Trump should be apprised.
Brown said Sen. Trump has been kept informed.
"Streetscapes needs money up front before bids can be made," McLeod said.
"We'll talk with Cowles and Trump that we have a hold up by DOH," Merki said.
"We need $59,000 from the Morgan County Commission for green infrastructure," said McLeod.
"What is the time frame?" asked Councilman Rick Weber.
"We were aiming for spring," said Brown.
"We're going to collide with Apple Butter," Weber said.
"It's not a huge job once we get started, once a contractor's on board." said McLeod.
Brown and Merki agreed that Congress Street should be done first, including repairs and street paving.
Councilwoman Elizabeth Skinner suggested McLeod attend the meeting with Trump and Cowles.
Brown said "Trump is watching, so he is aware. He is being copied on correspondence."

This week's Baking with Julia involved lots of summer fruits and berries - which can be a challenge when you are based in the opposite hemisphere and it is winter. Today was rather windy and wet and cold, which is a pretty awful combination.
This pie was delicious. I had no problems with the filling being runny, and the crust was suitably flaky. To see what the other BWJ bakers thought of this pie, visit the LYL section of the BWJ website.
I started blogging after being a lurker for two years. I found blogs through an article in The Age on cupcake blogs, and that took me on the full blogging journey. In the beginning, I thought that I couldn't write a blog as I wasn't qualified and no-one would read it. Wrong on both counts really - all you need for your own blog is a passion and a voice, and although the readership was rather slow (I talked to myself for about 7 months), it did eventually take off. Now, I actually like going back to my old posts for my own interest.
I am going to pass these awards on to Kathy of Bake Away with Me and Chunklet of Yummy Chunklet, two bloggers whom I met through French Fridays with Dorie. Go check them out - they have fun blogs.
Yesterday was a bitter, cold, wet day in Melbourne. The sun only feebly made an appearance a couple of times, and even when it did, the warmth was minimal. It was however a good day for baking - an activity which allows you to stay inside, be busy, and warm up the house.
It looks like an exotic gemstone, and to me, tastes like heaven. I adored this tart and would make it again in a heartbeat. I am a Turkish Delight and Mad Men fan, just like the author of this recipe, although the sound of her Turkish Delight sandwich makes me queasy. All I can say is skip the "sandwich" and make the tart - I think you'll love it.
Do you ever buy ingredients for one thing and they end up hanging around forever? That was the case with me and my jar of Nutella - I bought it for a Dorie recipe, and months later, it was still in the pantry cupboard, staring at me accusingly.
However, there was a feature in the newspaper on tea loaves this week, sourced from various blogs, and lo and behold, what did I spy but Nutella Banana Bread - perfect! Something that sounded delicious that I could use up my Nutella making, and practical enough to transport to work without a hitch.
The recipe for the Nutella Banana Bread comes from Chef in Training - you can find it here.
Accordingly, if chocolate and banana float your boat, or you just want to use up your Nutella, like me, you could do much worse than give this bread a go.
Two different crackers recipes had to be prepared using two different methods of forming.
Both recipes were supplied by our host. My favourite was the Health Crackers - they were crispy and salty without being overwhelming. They were also easy to make. For the cheddar crackers, I used a crumbly cheddar, Cracker Barrel Aged Vintage, and I am wondering if this was why I ended up with tasty but crumbly cookies.
To see what the other Daring Bakers came up with this month, visit the slide show at the Daring Kitchen website.
It's Friday again, and that means French Fridays with Dorie. This week's recipe, to close out July, is Lemon Barley Pilaf.
I have never cooked with barley before, so this was a new experience for me. I really liked this tasty side dish, which I served with last week's salmon. It is a colourful alternative to rice or mashed potato, and has a lovely nutty quality.
To see what the other Doristas thought of this dish, visit the LYL section of the website when it comes up.
Sometimes, unexpected gems open up right under your nose. There has been a bit of movement in the shops and restaurants in my suburb lately, and one of the best finds that I made is Vanilla Omelette, an unlikely-monikered Thai restaurant in Malvern.
Vanilla Omelette is tucked in near to Malvern train station, just before you hit Glenferrie Road. For this reason, it is out of sight of the main traffic in Glenferrie Road, but it is definitely a treasure worth turning off for. Tim and I decided to try Vanilla Omelette for Sunday lunch, just on spec, and we were not sorry. The restaurant is kitted out in dark furniture, but remains light and airy, and provided a welcome reprieve from the wet, cold weather outside.
These crispy rolls came with a sweet chilli dipping sauce.
Both meals were atractively plated with steamed rice, and tasted as fresh an delicious as they look.
Vanilla Omelette offers a full range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages to enjoy with your meal. The service was friendly and efficient, and if you are minded to do so, there are news papers and magazines to read while you are waiting.
Vanilla Omelette is a terrific new Thai restaurant in my local area, and I hope that it does well so that I can continue to enjoy eating there.
This week's French Fridays with Dorie challenge was Salmon with Basil Tapenade. I don't often cook salmon, not because I don't like it, but because it is soooo expensive. This piece of Tasmanian salmon cost me $9 - about the same price as I would normally pay for meat for the week. However, I am a Dorie disciple, so for this week, I took the hit.
To see what the other FFwD cooks thought, visit the LYL section of the website.
This week's Baking with Julia challenge transports us to Italy to make rustic Semolina Bread. Our hosts are Renee of The Way to My Family's Heart and Anna of Keep It Luce.
The texture of the bread was coarser than bread made with plain flour because of the semolina, but still tasty.

How was your weekend? Mine was quite busy - I need another weekend to recover from this one. Last night, I went to see the fourth most popular folk group in New Zealand, Flight of the Conchords. Many of you will be acquainted with them through their BBC radio series or their HBO TV show. The Conchords are just as hilarious live, and showed their ad lib prowess on stage in response to audience heckling. My favourite response was when someone asked them to perform a song that was not on the program - quick as a flash, Jemaine drawled back, "We're not very good at that one." It was a great show, with Arj Barker supporting the Conchords. The grand finale was Sugalumps - and once again demonstrated why you should never sit in the front row at a comedy show.
On Saturday, I did yet another cake decorating course. This was not planned - I got a call on Friday asking would I like to do Whimsical Cakehouse's Foundation I Cake Decorating class (1 tier round cake) the next day, as they had a vacancy. On the spot, I said yes, though I should be a little more cautious before opening my mouth - I realised that I had just committed my entire Saturday, as the class runs from 10am to 5pm.
It was definitely a terrific class, and I learned a lot. I may not have executed everything perfectly, but that's the point, I think - so that I can have a go and learn from my mistakes. We decorated a chocolate mud cake, cut it into three layers, filled the layers with ganache, ganached the outisde of the cake, then iced it in fondant, placed it on a board we'd covered in fondant, then decorated the cake with sugar flowers that we had made out of coloured fondant.
I rolled my fondant too thin so I have a couple of imperfections in the icing, but no matter - I am very happy with the end product.
Our teacher, Mignon, was excellent, and showed us how to rescue our mistakes.
I would definitely recommend this course to anyone who has a passion for cake decorating.
It's dessert time for French Friday with Dorie, and the recipe was Blueberry Marscapone Roulade. To be different, I made Raspberry Marscapone Roulade.
This was simple enough to make, if a little fussy. I managed to get icing sugar everywhere at one stage, making a sticky mess.
This meringue, cream and berry concoction was quite delicious. There's not much else to say. However, to see what the other Doristas have to say, visit the LYL section of the FFwD website.
Last Friday, I had to deliver the Legal component of the Sales team training. At dinner the night before, I learned that the products and marketing team had handed out chocolates in their session. Accordingly, I had a lot to live up to. To uphold the honour of the Legal team, I decided to make muffins to hand out, primarily because they are quick and easy.
I flicked through Leila Lindholm's A Piece of Cake, and my eye was caught by a recipe for Blueberry Corn Muffins. They sounded tasty, I had all the ingredients and they were easy to make - I was sold.
The soft, sweet berries contrasted with the slight grittiness of the corn.
Preheat your oven to 220 degrees Celsius and line a 12 hole muffin tin with muffin papers. Melt the butter, then add it to a bowl with the eggs and buttermilk, and beat well with a fork or whisk.
In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and fold together until well combined.
Shake the blueberries and plain flour together in a plastic bag to coat the berries, then fold through the muffin mixture. Scoop the muffin batter into the papers, filling them approximately 2/3 full. Place the muffins into the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes or until cooked through. Unmould the muffins onto a wire rack immediately on removing them from the oven.
Just like the recession we had to have, pictured above are the cupcakes I had to have, given the circumstances I found myself in.
My colleague Susie kindly gave me her voucher to attend a cupcake decorating course run by Jennifer Graham of Crabapple Cupcakes last night, as she could not attend. The course started ordinarily enough, although rather more politically than most, as Jennifer has some very strong beliefs about the cupcake industry that she shared with the class. However, by the end, the course had disintegrated into something akin to a Boxing Day sale in a mad grab for icing, piping bags, edible glitter, cachous and flowers.
Jennifer's course teaches techniques for decorating cakes using buttercream and ready made sugar decorations. Her cakes are undeniably pretty and taste very good, and I have often professed my admiration for her recipes for Very Vanilla and Dinosaur Rock Chocolate Cakes fom the Crabapple Cupcake Bakery Cookbook, which are my basic cake recipes of choice. She does have some very good tips for how to hold cupcakes, knives and piping bags while decorating, which differ in some respects from the more conventional wisdom that was espoused to me at other cupcake decorating classes. However, the key course disadvantage is that Jennifer shows you all the techniques before letting the class loose to decorate their own, which means that some things are easily forgotten before you get a chance to practise them. Apart from the aforementioned grab for supplies, other drawbacks included the small size of the room (on the first floor of a city restaurant) for the number of students, and an absence of damp cloths or a readily accessible sink to clean your hands and utensils of excess frosting, sprinkles and other detritus between cupcakes, leading to cross-pollination of cake decorations and a messy benchtop. In the end, I used whatever supplies were easiest to access and used my apron as a cleaning cloth to wipe my hands.
My cupcakes are decorated with (clockwise from top) chocolate ganache, "the proposal" buttercream and ganache design, a woeful attempt at the "signature swirl" design, a freeform swirl, a chrysanthemum and a topiary design. There were other designs demonstrated to us, but we only had six cupcakes, and I wouldn't have wanted to attempt any more in the class. I have taken notes and I bought a basic piping kit that included all the tips Jennifer used so that I can go away and practise Jennifer's designs in the peace and sanity of my own kitchen.
I have a milestone birthday coming up soon and I plan to make cupcakes; however, I will be going with one of the elegant and simple Whimsical Cakehouse designs atop Jennifer's Very Vanilla cupcake recipe rather than a buttercream swirl.
I enjoy cakes with colour and texture as well as flavour, and last week, I made a cake that fitted that bill completely. The cake was the Lemon Polenta Cake from the Manna from Heaven cookbook.
This cake contains lemon zest and coconut and should contain polenta. However, I accidently used semolina instead of polenta, which meant my cake was not gluten free. However, Linda at work said in her view, this made the cake nicer, and reminded her of a cake she'd had in India. It was so good, she asked for the recipe.
My only tip is to be sure to line the bottom and sides of your pan, as the cake has a tendency to stick.
Verdict: a textural, tangy delight.
This post is about my favourite day in Los Angeles, spent at the LA Farmers Market. However, as I write it, I am very annoyed, as Blogger, in its "wisdom", has rearranged the order of the photos that I uploaded a few days ago. I have rearranged some of them, but the rest are now all over the place, and in no particular order, because Blogger deemed it to be so, just like it insists on rotating my photos the wrong way, no matter how I take them. 'Nuff said.
The LA Farmers Market is on Third Street and Fairfax Avenue, West Hollywood. It was started in 1934 by the Gilmore family, and today is an enormous, bustling marketplace filled with food shops and eateries, and adjoins the massive Grove shopping complex. There are also souvenir shops and even an antique toy shop.
I bought some gorgeous coasters featuring old chocolate advertising, and was sorely tempted by a wattle tablecloth.
Yes, this was the meal without any extras, and yes it was enormous - it only cost $10.50, but there was no way I could manage more than half of it. I really needed to bring a friend so we could split it. Although it was enormous, the meal was delicious - I am a fan of beans, and the sweet potato salad was very different to anything I have tried before (in a good way). I didn't eat the cornbread at all - it was as dry as dust. Perhaps it is meant to be eaten by soaking up the sauces of your meal to give it moisture, but I was not going there.
I then spent some happy hours shopping at The Grove next to the market - it was amazing - before stopping off at my favourite grocer, Trader Joes, on the way home.
If you find yourself in Los Angeles and are into food, do not miss the LA Farmers Market - it is amazing.

Die Rohwedder AG war ein Maschinenbauunternehmen mit Sitz in Bermatingen am Bodensee und weiteren Standorten in Radolfzell, Lörrach und Bruchsal sowie sechs internationalen Tochtergesellschaften. Das Familienunternehmen produzierte und vertrieb hauptsächlich Anlagen der Automatisierungstechnik für Automobilzulieferer und Medizintechnik. Nach Insolvenz und Zerschlagung gehören Teile des Unternehmens heute als IWM Automation Bodensee GmbH und MA micro automation GmbH zur Düsseldorfer MAX Automation SE oder als Pematech GmbH zur Schweizer ASIC Robotics.

Geschichte

Gründung
Das Unternehmen wurde 1956 von Karl Beck (1896–1990) und Hans Rohwedder (1915–1983) als Rohwedder KG Präzisionswerkzeuge und Maschinenbau in Markdorf gegründet. Sie begannen mit 30 Mitarbeitern und bauten Vorrichtungen und Werkzeuge auf Anforderung der lokalen Industrie wie MTU, ZF und Dornier. Fast alle Produkte waren keine Massen-, sondern Einzelanfertigungen. Im Jahre 1971 zählte das Unternehmen bereits 100 Mitarbeiter und hatte Kunden im In- und Ausland. In eigenen Entwicklungs-, Konstruktions- und Elektronikabteilungen stellte das Unternehmen jetzt hochwertige Sondermaschinen in eigener Regie her. Die Rohwedder KG konnte ihre Marktstellung ständig ausbauen und legte großen Wert auf die Ausbildung junger Fachkräfte.

Rohwedder GmbH & Co. KG
1966 erfolgte die Umfirmierung in die Rohwedder GmbH & Co. KG. Im selben Jahr wurde die Helmut Kyburz KG Teil des Unternehmens. 1981 folgte Joachim Rohwedder seinem Vater als alleiniger geschäftsführender Gesellschafter und richtete das Unternehmen auf die Automatisierungstechnik aus. Das Unternehmen beschäftigte mittlerweile 135 Mitarbeiter. 1981 wurde auch das neu erbaute Werk 2 in Bermatingen bezogen und damit dem stetigen Wachstum des Unternehmens Rechnung getragen.

Hauptprodukte wurden nunmehr hochwertige Montageanlagen für die Automobilzulieferindustrie und die Unterhaltungselektronik. Zu den Kunden zählten Unternehmen wie Bosch, Daimler-Benz, BASF, Dornier, Siemens, IBM, Lufthansa und Swissair. 1985 erfolgte die Auslieferung der ersten vollautomatischen Montagelinie der Firma Rohwedder zur Fertigung von Videokassetten.

Expansion und Börsengang
Ab dem Jahre 1995 wurde das Unternehmen mit der Gründung von Tochtergesellschaften und dem Erwerb von Beteiligungen erweitert.

1995 wurde die insolvente Pematech GmbH in Radolfzell erworben und in die Pematech-Rohwedder GmbH umbenannt. Außerdem wurde eine Beteiligung von 35 % an der Asic Robotics in Burgdorf, Schweiz erworben. 1996 beteiligte sich Rohwedder an der Vertriebsgesellschaft Fatec CO. Ltd. Seoul, Südkorea. 1997 folgte eine Mehrheitsbeteiligung an der IEF-Werner GmbH in Furtwangen. 1999 wurde in Markdorf die Rohwedder Visotech GmbH gegründet.

1999 wurde das Unternehmen in eine Aktiengesellschaft umgewandelt und Joachim Rohwedder zum Vorstandsvorsitzenden bestellt. Im Jahr 2000 erfolgte der Börsengang. Die Aktien wurden unter Führung der Baden-Württembergischen Bank im Prime Standard an den Börsen in Frankfurt am Main und Stuttgart zum amtlichen Handel zugelassen. Zeitgleich wurde der Firmensitz von Markdorf nach Bermatingen verlegt. Der Konzernumsatz betrug jetzt 210 Mio. DM und es wurden 528 Mitarbeiter beschäftigt.

Im gleichen Jahr wurden die Firmen Rohwedder Automated Systems Inc., Markham, Kanada und Rohwedder Inc., Orlando, Florida erworben und die Rohwedder Ziegler GmbH in Markdorf gegründet.  2002 wurde eine Beteiligung von 60 % an dem Photovoltaiktechnik-Unternehmen Roth & Rau AG in Hohenstein-Ernstthal übernommen und die Rohwedder PTY Ltd., Victoria, Australien. 2003 folgte der Erwerb der Rohwedder Microtech GmbH und Co. KG, Bruchsal, 2004 die Gründung der Rohwedder Automation Co. Ltd. in Suzhou, China.

2006 wurden die Aktien der Roth & Rau AG erfolgreich an die Börse geführt. 2007 verkaufte Rohwedder die restlichen 20 % ihrer Beteiligung an der Roth & Rau AG zu einem Erlös von 18,8 Mio. Euro. Kurz danach schoss der Börsenkurs der Roth & Rau AG in die Höhe.

2007 folgte die Gründung einer Vertriebsgesellschaft in Mexiko unter der Firma Rohwedder Mexico S.A. de C.V., Santa Rosa Jauregui. Zudem wurde die MIMOT GmbH in Lörrach gekauft und auf die Rohwedder AG verschmolzen. Noch im selben Jahr folgte der Erwerb einer 100% Beteiligung an der JOT Automation Ltd., Oulu, Finnland, ein Hersteller flexibler Test- und Automatisierungsgeräte für die Hersteller von Mobiltelefonen, zu dem eine Produktionsgesellschaft in Tallinn, Estland und Peking, China sowie Vertriebs- und Servicegesellschaften in Lewisville, Texas, Seoul, Südkorea, Budaörs, Ungarn, Timisoara, Rumänien, Chennai, Indien und Arezzo, Italien gehörten. Am 1. Juli 2007 wurde Manfred G. Müller weiteres Vorstandsmitglied der Rohwedder AG.

Insolvenz
Die globale Finanz- und Wirtschaftskrise 2008/2009 führte bei der Rohwedder AG zu Beginn des Jahres 2009 zu einer Minderung des Auftragseinganges um 50 % und zu einer Unterauslastung des Unternehmens. Am 23. Januar 2009 wechselte die Rohwedder AG bei der Frankfurter Wertpapierbörse vom Segment Prime Standard des geregelten Marktes in das Segment General Standard. Joachim Rohwedder wechselte in den Aufsichtsrat und übernahm dort den Vorsitz, alleiniges Vorstandsmitglied wurde zum 20. Mai 2009 Manfred G. Müller.

Am 26. März 2010 stellte die Rohwedder AG wegen nicht ausreichender Unternehmensfinanzierung beim Amtsgericht Konstanz Antrag auf die Eröffnung des Insolvenzverfahrens. Zum Insolvenzverwalter wurde der Stuttgarter Anwalt Volker Grub bestellt. Am 10. Juni 2010 wurde das Insolvenzverfahren eröffnet. Das Delisting an der Frankfurter Wertpapierbörse erfolgte zum 22. Dezember 2010.

Im Juni 2010 bestand kurzfristig die Aussicht, den Rohwedder-Konzern im Ganzen zu erhalten. Die ATS Automation Tooling Systems Inc., Cambridge, Ontario, Kanada, nahm Verhandlungen mit Grub wegen einer Gesamtübernahme auf.

Im Rahmen der Abwicklung übernahm die Hamburger Günther Holding die Standorte Bermatingen und Bruchsal und strukturierte die Unternehmensteile um. Der Standort Bermatingen wurde umfirmiert in Rohwedder Macro Assembly GmbH. Der Standort Bruchsal wurde zur Rohwedder Micro Assembly GmbH. Zusammen mit der zur Holding gehörenden Elwema Automotive GmbH und der AIM Micro systems GmbH bildeten sie die AIM-Gruppe. Der Standort Radolfzell wurde von der Asics Robotics, Burgdorf, unter dem Namen Pematech AG übernommen. Die finnische JOT Automation Ltd. mit ihren Tochtergesellschaften wurde am 15. Juni 2011 von ihrem früheren Eigentümer Veikko Lesonen übernommen. Alle Gesellschaften in Kanada, Nordamerika und Mexiko gingen im Wege eines Management-Buy-Outs an Andris W. Mellema. Die internationalen Töchter wurden liquidiert.

Das Insolvenzverfahren wurde 2014 abgeschlossen. Die Forderungen der Insolvenzgläubiger beliefen sich auf 34 Mio. Euro. Sie erhielten eine Zahlungsquote von 46 %. Kreditinstitute erhielten auf ihre Sicherheiten 12,7 Mio. Euro und Lieferanten auf ihre Eigentumsvorbehaltsrechte 1,8 Mio. Euro. Die Aktionäre erhielten keine Zahlungen.

Nachfolgegesellschaften
2013 übernahm die Düsseldorfer MAX Automation AG die AIM-Gruppe der Günther Holding und strukturierte die enthaltenen Unternehmen um. Die Rohwedder Micro Assembly GmbH ging dabei in der MA micro automation GmbH auf. Am 28. März 2018 wurde die Rohwedder Macro Assembly GmbH umfirmiert in IWM Automation Bodensee GmbH und mit der zum Konzern gehörenden IWM Automation GmbH mit Sitz in Porta Westfalica vereinigt.

Nach erfolglosen Verkaufsgesprächen der MAX Automation AG mit potentiellen Käufern wird die IWM Automation Bodensee GmbH zum 31. Dezember 2019 endgültig geschlossen, wobei die 100 Angestellten am Standort Bermatingen ihren Arbeitsplatz verlieren.

Unternehmen
Die Rohwedder AG war mit 41,14 % des Aktienkapitals in zweiter Generation in Familienbesitz. Der Rest war in Streubesitz und wurden im SMax im regulierten Markt gelistet.
