Below are answers to Frequently Asked Questions, which MBS receives....
Q. Do bluebirds roost singly or in a group during cold weather?
A. They can do both. It depends on the size of the cavity to some degree. But since bluebirds travel in small groups during the fall and winter, it's very common to find a number of them roosting in a tree cavity or bluebird box left outside.
Q. Can I save a bluebird nest I found in one of my boxes?
A. According to wildlife laws, it's illegal to keep feathers, nests, or entire bird specimens without a license. Sometimes, it's useful to keep old nests to be used in replacing a very wet or parasite filled nest. But in order to stay on the good side of the law, it's best to just fashion a nest yourself, made of dry grasses.
Q. Can bluebird houses be left outside in winter so bluebirds will roost in them?
A.Yes, you can leave out bluebird boxes in winter to be used as roosting houses. However, a couple steps should be taken to optimize their use by the bluebirds. First, plug up any ventilation openings or holes with weather stripping or removable caulking to keep cold air out. Second, if possible, remove and "flip" the orientation of the house front so the entrance hole is at the bottom. Third, drill several staggered, shallow holes of ¼" diameter on the inside walls and caulk in-place some 2" long ¼" wooden dowels for perches. This will help multiple bluebirds roost in the box.
Q. Is there such thing as a "bluebird feeder"?
A. Bluebirds will feed at almost any type of feeder that has food they're interested in, even tube feeders. However, tray feeders containing meal worms or special suet/raisin/cornmeal mixes work very well. There is another special type of feeder designed specifically for bluebirds that is basically a wooden hopper feeder with closed glass fronts, and 1 ½" entrance holes drilled on each end. This enables the birds to enter the feeder to get the food. See our Feeding Bluebirds page for a picture.
Q. What type of natural foods do bluebirds eat in the winter?
A. A bluebird's diet shifts to eating berries during winter, since their warm weather insect food is not available. This also helps bluebirds survive if they DO migrate and return to northern nesting areas in late winter. Many berries gradually become more edible as the winter progresses. Here are common bluebird berries: dogwood, holly, juniper, sumac, mountain ash, mistletoe, hack berry, multiflora rose, and viburnum (Note: some of these are non-native species).
Q. Is there a recipe for bluebird food I can put out in winter?
A. Yes. Here is a very popular recipe called Bluebird Banquet (from The Bluebird Monitor's Guide).
Mix: 1 cup peanut butter, 4 cups yellow cornmeal, 1 cup unbleached white or whole-wheat flour in a mixing bowl.
Add: 1 cup fine sunflower chips, 1 cup grated peanuts, 1/2 to 1 cup currants (or softened raisins—can be done by soaking in water).
Drizzle and stir in: 1 cup melted rendered suet (try to get kidney suet as it's easier to melt).
When the mixture cools, it should have a crumbly texture. If not, add more flour or melted suet if necessary. Refrigerate: Then present to bluebirds in an open tray feeder or enclosed bluebird feeder.
Q. How long does it take for bluebirds to build their nest?
A. From 2-6 days. Keep in mind, poor weather can delay things.
Q. I have an annoying House Sparrow pair chasing my bluebirds away from the nestbox. Is there anything I can do?
A. Unfortunately, there's no simple solution that works every time. But, here are some things that can be effective: First, keep removing the sparrow nest as soon as it builds a new one. This can be every 1-2 days. If you are persistent, the sparrows might go away eventually. Second, consider trapping the sparrows and either euthanizing them or removing them from the area physically. There are cage type traps or in-box traps available. Third, open up the box and leave it that way for several days. The sparrow might move on. Finally, there is a commercial product called a magic halo to attach to the box that has had some success. See the article in the Spring 2008 Issue of The Flyer, or our Solving Problems page.
Q. How late in the year will bluebirds nest in Michigan?
A. Bluebirds can still fledge in Michigan as late as mid-August, depending on the weather and food availability. Further north, such as the Upper Peninsula, this last fledging date could be 1 to 2 weeks earlier.
Q. Will bluebirds that fledge in summer stay around into fall?
A. Often they will, but bluebirds will move around over a much larger area in search of food. As the weather gets cooler, insect numbers decline quickly. This forces bluebirds to look harder over a greater area AND shift to eating more ripening berries. Also, you'll tend to notice bluebirds gathering in larger flocks in Autumn. Some will migrate further south while others will winter over..
Q. I sometimes see flocks of bluebirds in my area in the fall. What do they eat this time of year?
A. During the fall, a bluebird's diet shifts from insects to mainly berries and some seeds that ripen this time of year. Examples include sumac, chokecherry, pokeweed, hawthorn, and mountain ash. For a larger list of preferred wild berries, see our Planting for Bluebirds page. You can also feed them meal worms, which they readily eat any time of the year.
Q. Do Bluebirds leave Michigan in the Fall?
A. Not completely. They WILL migrate south, out of the upper peninsula and northern 2/3 of the state (approximately). But, bluebirds commonly remain in large numbers all winter in the southern part of the lower peninsula. This may be due to milder weather in recent years and greater food availability. Things you can do to help them include feeding mealworms, leaving out several nest boxes for them to roost in, and providing a heated birdbath or water source.
Q. Sometimes in winter on mild, sunny days, I'll see a bluebird sitting on a nesting box that I left outside. Isn't that too early for them to start nesting?
A. Mild weather in late January or February can sometimes "fool" bluebirds into thinking spring is almost here. That can bring out their instinct to start finding and defending nesting territories. But, don't worry. Once the weather gets colder again, bluebirds will resume their winter routines and stop sitting on the nest box. Then, when March gets here and the weather gets milder, daylight increases, and food starts to become available, bluebirds will establish nesting territories.
Q. Can regular bluebird nest boxes be used for roosting boxes in the winter?
A. Yes. You can leave out a nesting box for bluebirds to spend cold winter nights in. If you do, it's a good idea to seal any ventilation slots or holes with weather stripping or removable caulk in order to keep out cold air and snow. Also, if possible, orient the nest box entrance hole away from the north and northwest where prevailing winter winds come from. Another idea is to build a specific bluebird roosting box. For details, go to: www.sialis.org/roost.htm. (Click on Woodworking for Wildlife)
Q. I saw bluebirds going into my nest box earlier in the spring, and they started to build a nest. But I haven't seen them since. What is going on? Should I take out the nesting material?
A. It's hard to say what happened to your bluebirds. Sometimes they may not develop a strong enough bond to the territory early in the season and have simply moved on. Or it's possible that something happened to one of the two birds. Finally, something may have spooked them from nesting there (for example, a predator trying to get into the box). So, at this point, they probably will not nest in the box. Leaving the old nesting material in the box probably won't make any difference to a new pair of birds. Let them decide whether to use it or discard it..
Q. Are any nest box designs less attractive to house sparrows?
A. First realize that despite lots of research, no nesting box design has been determined to deter all house sparrows in all cases. But, more recent research has been pointing to the fact that boxes with smaller nesting spaces in them seem to be less desirable to sparrows. In particular, the PVC Gilbertson nest box, Troyer nest box, and Gilwood designs have gotten encouraging results. See our page on bluebird nesting boxes for more information on these designs. You also can download plans for bluebird houses to build your own modified Gilwood house or Troyer box.
Q. I keep seeing a group of bluebirds in the yard. How can I tell which ones are juveniles and which are adult birds?
A. Without exception, young bluebirds have spotting on the breast and underside, and also on the back. They also have a lot less blue than the adults. However, young bluebirds go through a feather molt in mid to late summer where they then lose the spotted feathers and gain their adult plumage. By fall, it will be difficult if not impossible to tell the difference between the younger and older birds.
Q. I haven't seen bluebirds in my yard for weeks now. When do they start migrating south?
A. Bluebirds will often join together in small groups or flocks in late summer and fall, searching for food. In doing so, they will move over larger distances and may disappear from your area for long periods of time. However, many bluebirds winter over in Michigan – especially in the lower half of the lower peninsula. Those that DO migrate will often leave in October & November, and journey to wintering grounds further south in states in the eastern U.S.
Q. I want to build some nesting boxes for bluebirds during the winter months. What is the best type of wood to use?
A. Western Red Cedar is considered by many bluebirders to be the best wood for nest boxes. It is highly insect and rot resistant outdoors, and usually is milled with one rough side. The rough side is best used on the exterior of the box and helps bluebirds cling to it more easily. A downside is that cedar is about 60% more expensive than pine. You can use aromatic Eastern Red Cedar, but it is not carried by as many lumber stores and often does not come with a rough side. But white cedar is good too if your lumber yard carries it. White pine is the most economical wood to use, but does not last as long outside. It does not typically come with a rough side either. In all cases, you should use ¾" thick wood and roughen the interior surface of the house front below the entrance hole to enable the young and adults to climb out more easily.
Q. Do bluebirds "sing" in the fall and winter?
A. Bluebirds will definitely vocalize year-round. However, during the fall and winter, you are less likely to hear their "full-blown" song used by the males while establishing a nesting territory. What you are likely to hear are somewhat softer, shorter portions of their song used as calls to stay in contact with the small flocks bluebirds are found in this time of year. This can sound something like "cheer-cheer-churchur" made with low-pitched melodious whistles.
Q. I'm building some nesting boxes this winter and would like to know if I should stain them?
A. There is a healthy debate on this topic in the bluebird community. First, know that bluebirds will readily choose BOTH stained and unstained boxes. Staining the exterior of the box can help it last much longer by reducing moisture penetration into the wood. But, there is some evidence now that bluebirds may actually prefer boxes with stained interiors. The idea here may be that the darker interior seems more like an actual tree cavity. There needs to be more research on this topic. If you DO choose to stain the box, use a non-toxic stain and allow the box to dry very thoroughly before putting it outside. (See our Spring 2011 issue for a full article on nest box staining.)
Q. Is it true that bluebirds are easily attracted to birdbaths?
A. Yes! Bluebirds are members of the thrush family (as are robins) and birds in this group seem to love to bathe and drink water in bird baths. You should provide a bird bath with shallow sloping sides and a rough surface to make it safer and easier for birds to enter the water. Also, place birdbaths away from low ground cover and shrubs where cats can lurk. And water can still be put out in the winter using a heated birdbath.
Q. What is the best way to prevent blowfly infestations in my nest box?
A. First, it is critically important when doing nest checks, to look for evidence of blowflies. You can do this by looking under the nest for the grayish, brown oval shaped larvae that feed on the young birds. Sweep them out of the box and make sure there are none attached to the young. Extremely wet nests encourage the blowflies and need to be replaced with dry grass in some cases. For prevention, suspending the nest slightly above the wood floor by putting a ½" hardware cloth "riser" in the nest box before nest building will help keep the nest free of blowflies.
Q. What's the best direction for the front of the bluebird box to face when you put it up outside?
A. There's a lot of debate about this subject with no definitive research that proves the bluebirds prefer a box facing one direction or another. Conventional thinking is that it should face away from the west or northwest where prevailing storms come from. Theoretically, this would help reduce rainwater getting into the box. However, a well-designed, tight nest box with a good roof overhang would largely prevent this problem. The best advice is to face the box so you can easily see the entrance from a distance. This will improve your ability to monitor what's going on and add to your enjoyment of watching the nesting process.
Q. When doing a nest check, I found an unhatched egg with the four day old chicks. What should I do about it??
A. If the egg is unhatched after 4 days, it's almost certainly infertile and will not hatch. You will need to remove it from the nest and dispose of it a distance away from the box. If the egg were to remain in the box, the odds are high it would eventually break. The resulting rotting odors could attract predators and harmful insects to the nest.
Q. Is it better to use a bluebird box with a larger cavity size
(deeper and bigger floor) or is a smaller space preferred?
A. Bluebirds will nest in most sized nesting boxes when it comes down to it. Usually, the location and habitat quality will be more important than the size of the box or entrance hole type. However, recent research has been showing that all else being equal, the bluebirds prefer a shallower, smaller cavity-size box. Examples of these would be the Gilbertson PVC box, Gilwood, Troyer, and Peterson styles. Why is this? We don't know for sure, but these boxes may better emulate the smaller natural cavities bluebirds often find in say, apple trees. Also, it's believed that house sparrows don't like the shallower boxes as much.
To improve the nesting success of the Eastern Bluebird & other native cavity-nesting birds in the state of Michigan through education of our members and the general public, as well as promoting active nest box management and habitat improvement.

Fasmatech joined the BSMS 80/60 Symposium at the University of Warwick to celebrate the birthdays and distinguished careers of Prof. Keith Jennings and Prof. Jim Scrivens.
This has been an excellent event organized by the British Society for Mass Spectrometry with an impressive list of speakers from academia and industry. The speakers gave an overview of the latest achievement in instrumentation development, and the established and emerging applications of mass spectrometry. Native mass spectrometry is of growing importance, which demands high mass capabilities of atmospheric-vacuum interfaces, mass analyzers and ion detectors. This has been one of the research priorities of Fasmatech in the last few years.
Dr. Raptakis, Fasmatech's CEO is a Warwick alumnus (PhD in Chemistry Department 1992-1996). In particular Prof. Jennings has been instrumental in his getting into mass spectrometry more that 20 years ago.

Etikfond eller en SRI-fond är en fond som placerar spararnas investeringar i olika företag med hänsyn till olika etiska värderingar.

Utöver vad lagen säger finns också en gemensam branschkod för fondbolag med verksamhet i Sverige samt ytterligare ett tiotal olika riktlinjer från Fondbolagens förening som fondbolagen ska följa.

Med etikfonder menas fonder som tar särskild hänsyn till agerandet i de företag vars aktier som fonden placerar. Dessa fonder kallas numera vanligtvis för SRI-fonder (Sustainable Responsible Investments) eller fonder med ansvarsfulla placeringar. En del av SRI-fonderna väljer placeringar utifrån positiva kriterier och andra efter negativa. Exempel på positiva kriterier kan vara en miljöfond som väljer aktier i företag som arbetar aktivt för en bättre miljö eller en fond som väljer bolag som verkar för en ökad jämställdhet. Negativa kriterier betyder att fonden undviker att placera i företag som har en mer omfattande verksamhet med till exempel vapen, tobak och alkohol. Fondbolagen måste ha en särskild placeringspolicy för sina SRI-fonder och informera om de kriterier som gäller för respektive fond.

De analyser och granskningar som görs av företagens sociala och miljömässiga ansvarstagande kallas för screening. Ett relaterat begrepp är också Environmental, social and corporate governance (eller ESG) som framför allt används av företag med verksamhet i finansvärlden och av personer som jobbar med aktieanalyser. Fritt översatt till svenska betyder begreppet "miljömässig och social styrning" och skvallrar om ett släktskap med begreppet "bolagsstyrning", som handlar om principer för hur ett bolag ska styras. Analytiker behöver kunna bedöma ett företags förmåga att hantera nuvarande och kommande risker för att kunna värdera hur det påverkar företagets framtida förmåga att tjäna pengar för sig själv och sina aktieägare.

Begreppet ESG har uppstått som ett sätt att etikettera området miljömässigt och socialt ansvar, som man anser inte bör ignoreras vid kalkylering av ett företags värdering. Rekommendationen är dock att inte använda begreppet, då få känner till det, men att förstå hur det används. Genom att förstå begreppets bakgrund kan man tolka det som ett sätt för aktieanalytiker att säga att de anser att det är viktigt att ett bolag tar så mycket ansvar som deras omvärld anser att de behöver ta. Detta för att bolaget inte ska betraktas som oattraktivt av sin omvärld som då skulle sluta köpa bolagets produkter eller tjänster.

De fondförvaltare som placerar i företag utifrån att dessa tar ett aktivt ansvar för miljö och mänskliga rättigheter, gör inte avkall på kravet om en god avkastning för fonderna. De tror på att dessa företag är långsiktigt lönsamma genom att de uppskattas av sina kunder och får goodwill i media. Ekonomiska, sociala och miljömässiga faktorer vägs samman.

SRI-fonder följer ofta de internationella överenskommelser som finns i FN.

Winward Racing to make GTD debut at Rolex 24
Baker/Motorsport Images
By Marshall Pruett December 21, 2020 8:45 AM
By Marshall Pruett | December 21, 2020 8:45 AM
The Winward Racing IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge team will make its WeatherTech SportsCar Championship debut at the Rolex 24 At Daytona in January. The Texas-based team owned by Bryce Ward has secured a Mercedes-AMG GT3 for its GT Daytona debut as part of a plan to move its MPC program to IMSA's top class in 2022.
"We're definitely going to be doing the Rolex 24 in GTD," Ward told RACER. "And also, we want to do one more season of GT4, because we feel we got some unfinished business there. And doing the Rolex 24, it's just dipping our toe into GTD, and I think the Rolex 24 is the only we're going to be doing."
More IMSA!

Megennis joins Vasser Sullivan endurance line-up
Ward and his son Russell, along with Holland's Indy Dontje and a cast of teammates, have been a steady presence in MPC with the Winward/HTP Motorsport Mercedes-AMG GT4s. A win at 2019's penultimate round in Monterey confirmed the team's potential to compete among the series' best.
"We want to start slow with the GTD field because we know it's so such a powerful field, and it's something we definitely want to step up to in 2022," Ward said. "And we just want to get a feel for it and start to understand it a bit better, so that ultimately when we do put forward a full season team, we really prepared and hopefully can compete for some of the highest honors available."
IMSA's GTD class is on pace to have 20 or more Rolex 24 entries, which should offer Ward the type of education he's looking for at the big January 30-31 event.
"I think it's going to be a real challenge," he said. "Keeping your eyes in the back of your head, making sure that you're not making mistakes and having people come up so quickly on you. It's going to be a real challenge and the change for us. And that's why we want to take it a little bit slowly, so that we understand things, get the feel for it, and move forward."

Shocker! CIA can mimic Russian cyber hack
You're being bugged without technically being bugged
Published March 7, 2017 at 8:37pm

If the WikiLeaks revelation about CIA hacking capabilities is any indication, the bugging of Trump Tower could have been done without wiretaps or formal court warrants.
That's because it is now confirmed that the U.S. government has the ability to use everyday items to listen in on private conversations.
WikiLeaks unloaded what it called the largest-ever release of CIA secrets, exposing the agency's "global covert hacking program" that is capable of invading your computer, your smartphone, your automobile. Even your TV can be turned into a remote microphone. You may turn the TV off, but the CIA is able to compromise the set so the microphone continues to record your every word. Same with your smartphone.
You're not technically being bugged, but the CIA hack turns your TV or phone into a defacto bug.
More than 8,700 CIA documents were published as part of "Year Zero," the first in a series of leaks WikiLeaks has dubbed "Vault 7."
These "weaponized exploits" are used against "Apple's iPhone, Google's Android, Microsoft's Windows and Samsung TVs." Even the newer smart cars sporting Internet connectivity can be hacked and taken over by the government. The same goes for cameras, smart appliances or anything else hooked to the Internet.
Taking UMBRAGE
Another clever hacking technique exposed by WikiLeaks is that of the CIA's "UMBRAGE" group. These hackers use malware to steal and replicate the digital "fingerprints" of a foreign hacker, allowing the U.S. to then blame the hack on a foreign enemy such as Russia.
Here's how UMBRAGE works, according to WikiLeaks:
"The CIA's hand-crafted hacking techniques pose a problem for the agency. Each technique it has created forms a 'fingerprint' that can be used by forensic investigators to attribute multiple different attacks to the same entity.
"This is analogous to finding the same distinctive knife wound on multiple separate murder victims. The unique wounding style creates suspicion that a single murderer is responsible. As soon one murder in the set is solved then the other murders also find likely attribution.
"The CIA's Remote Devices Branch's UMBRAGE group collects and maintains a substantial library of attack techniques 'stolen' from malware produced in other states including the Russian Federation.
"With UMBRAGE and related projects the CIA cannot only increase its total number of attack types but also misdirect attribution by leaving behind the 'fingerprints' of the groups that the attack techniques were stolen from."
After the U.S. presidential election in November, mainstream media widely circulated reports quoting U.S. intelligence officials that Russia's "digital fingerprints" were all over the hack into the Democratic National Convention emails that supposedly influenced the election of Donald Trump.
Rush Limbaugh surmised on his radio show Tuesday that UMBRAGE may have been used to replicate the fingerprints of Russian hackers into the DNC.
"They have found a way to essentially emulate Russian hacks either from the KGB, the RBG, the Russian government, various other Russian hackers," Limbaugh said. "It's a wide variety of people. The CIA has found a way to make it look like it's the Russians doing the hacking.
"Isn't that interesting, given everything we've been told about the election? 'The Russians hacked the election, that the Russians did this, the Russians did that.' So far we don't have any evidence the Russians did anything! But we have all kinds of supposition that the American deep state is deeply involved in whatever sabotage is being conducted on the Trump administration."
Bypassing encryption
Among the other more notable disclosures, the CIA had managed to bypass encryption on popular phone and messaging services such as Signal, WhatsApp and Telegram. According to the statement from WikiLeaks, government hackers can penetrate Android phones and collect "audio and message traffic before encryption is applied."
Patrick Wood, an expert on technocracy and its impact on privacy, called the WikiLeaks information "huge" because it suggests these types of surveillance techniques are being used against Americans without judicial oversight.
It makes the FISA court, in many ways, an irrelevant Neanderthal institution that was designed for 1980s technology, he said. Placing this level of technology in the hands of an agency with a history as checkered as the CIA's is "striking" and "scary," Wood told WND.
"First we had the NSA Snowden revelations and now the CIA," said Wood, author of "Technocracy Rising: The Trojan Horse of Global Transformation."
"We've had enough history on the CIA to know that there are some, not all who belong to it, but some who have operated outside the law, for decades. We've seen traces of them here and there around the world, we've seen them in South America, in the Mideast, in Russia, even China, doing things that were outside the law of anybody's country let alone our own. So why would anyone be shocked that this reveals illegal activity?"
Orwellian televisions?
The hacking of Samsung TVs lends itself to an Orwellian scenario where every American could one day have his home monitored by the government, but we're not there yet, Wood said.
Vizio Smart TVs, which are linked to the Internet, are equally vulnerable.
"They can't and won't tap into every one of these TVs in the country and set up a 1984-style monitoring system, because that's too big and wouldn't achieve a practical purpose," Wood said.
Same goes for everyone with an iPhone.
But that shouldn't be too comforting. The CIA or NSA can and will pick and choose who it wants to monitor.
"At this point, there are not enough people to sit there and listen to what you have to say. But what this says to me is there are actors within the CIA and NSA and other agencies with the same mentality, where they believe anywhere they want to look they will look," Wood said. "And they're looking somewhere all the time. And this is the technocratic mind – these people believe they're entitled to look at whatever they want to look at and are entitled to look all the way to the bottom."
Wood said this is beyond government overreach.
"It's anti-American, and it's illegal that they do these things. But there is no doubt there has been a trail of spying on American citizens without any FISA court involvement. It's simply because they can and, therefore, they do," he said.
Trump Tower bugged?
Wood said it is "plausible" that at least some of these techniques were used against the Trump campaign by the Obama administration.
Anyone who doubts Obama's intelligence apparatus was capable of this should remember the past scandals, including allegations the White House had bugged the U.S. House cloakroom in 2013 and also certain reporters for the Associated Press and Fox News.
"We've had allegations of spying over last four five years that was clearly illegal, no right or basis to do any of that. But we know they did it in the past. So to even hint that they would never do it in the future is just ignorant," Wood said.
Timing of Trump tweet 'brilliant'
Wood said the timing of Trump's tweet blowing the whistle on the Obama administration's use of wiretaps was "brilliant."
"It seems to me that Trump had some idea this was going to be released by WikiLeaks and some idea about the content. Because his tweet storm played right into this whole thing," Wood said.
"He threw that thought out, got everybody in a big hubbub. And then, all of a sudden, this big explosion of WikiLeaks. And now everybody that got angry with him over those tweets has absolutely been shut down. They've been made to look like fools. They've been played."
Wood said officials who defended Obama as above the fray and not involved in wiretapping decisions, men like former CIA Director Michael Hayden and former National Intelligence Director James Clapper, now look like fools.
Everything is hackable
Wood said the message taken from the latest WikiLeaks dump for the average American should be clear: Everything is hackable.
"The internet of things is now being combined with the Internet of people, and the new phrase is called the IOE, the Internet of Everything," he said.
In his best-selling book, "Connectography: Mapping the Future of Global Civilization," author and arch-globalist Parag Khanna made the case that the world needs to be more fully connected.
"Everything needs to be connected, everything, including things and people, and every one of these things – computers, TVs, phones, appliances, smart refrigerators, smart light bulbs, smart cameras, anything conceivably connected to the Internet – can be hacked," Wood said. "That's what this tells me. There is nothing that's connected to the Internet that these people haven't figured out a way hack."
And it's not just the government you need to worry about.
One of the most disturbing revelations of the WikiLeaks documents is that the CIA has "lost control" of its secret archive of codes used to hack into various systems. The codes have now fallen into the hands of former government hackers and, presumably, to rogue hackers.
"This was, in my estimation, the height of irresponsibility within the technocrat world," Wood said. "This is the mindset of the technocrats: They create some great hacking tool and, while they are all patting each other on the back about the new tool they created, no discussion was given to how to protect that tool from being hacked."
Wood said the smart cameras people have in their homes like NEST Home Security, which are available at Best Buy or Home Depot, have become popular because they allow a homeowner to look at their smartphone and see their house remotely from thousands of miles away.
"That's cool technology, but it was never locked down," Wood said. "The technocrats who developed it left it wide open. It never occurred to them that there would be hackers who would love to enter this system illegally to invade your household. Wouldn't you think it would be wise to spend as much time locking it down as you would developing it?
"With cars, we're talking about hacking into your car's software to run you off the road by taking over your steering."
He said Microsoft is notorious for not securing its Windows operating systems.
"I used to be in the IT industry, and there were discussions ever since Windows 3 on the idea could Microsoft secure their software, is it possible, or was it just an oversight and they chose not to?" Wood said. "That debate has raged for three decades now. I can't imagine that Microsoft could not have secured their software from Day 1 if they had wanted to."


* individual elements of the list.
But why stop there? If most of the sorting you do only uses one attribute, then why not define a method with a block that only returns that attribute?
This example demonstrates iterating over map entries. The closure receives each entry's key and value in one go, and can process them as required.
* and value to the given block.
06-02-07 UPDATE fixed syntax error and syntax highlighting.
08-02-07 UPDATE following up on Neal's comments, I have replaced the cleaner-looking (but in this case incorrect) control invocation syntax with the standard syntax. I still think it's confusing to have this alternative syntax that can only be used in some cases; but perhaps there's a logic explanation for this? At least I hope to get the "approved" stamp this time. It goes to show that it's a good idea to have some (correct) real-world code examples.
Why u sai it is ugly ????
What is ur reason ????
If u do something without reason, I can also call u fool without giving any reason.
I see ugly and I say it is ugly. That's why. No other reason. Aesthetics and ease of reading.
@Stephen: thanks for spotting the error, I fixed it. I'm not a fan of the missing semicolon; on the other hand, you'll probably get used to it fast enough.
I did read your usecase posts. These examples are merely meant as an illustration to the proposal, not to discuss it.
The control invocation is a statement form, not an expression, and the controlled statement is a statement, not an expression. I think none of your examples is syntactically correct.
Also, you can't use wildcards as function argument types.
…and for closures that do not need to result in an expression, I could choose between the standard and the control invocation form? Isn't that confusing? If you get used to the control invocation syntax, wouldn't you want to use it in all cases?
If the precise same syntax is an expression and also a statement, then an extra semicolon would be needed to end the statement. That sort of undermines the point of the control invocation syntax.
What I think is a shame about the Java closure examples you can usually find on the Net is that they are too obvious. Almost all of them can be solved with mere inner classes with a bit of verbosity. The five examples on this page fall into this. Of course, people need them to understand the basics, for it's not enough to understand the real power of closures.
In my opinion, one thing that really makes the BGGA closures powerful is the change of semantics for return, break, etc. It allows easy-to-write iteration using recursive algorithms, for instance: imagine you have a tree-based structure and you want to iterate through nodes or leaves of the tree. Today you have but one choice: to write an Iterator class, which un-recursifies the iteration. About 100-300 lines of code (!), which are quite tricky and hard to make bug-free.
With the BGGA closures, you just need to write your recursive algorithm (which is usually much simpler and shorter: down to 15-20 lines for classic tree-based algorithms?), and invoke the argument closure at every step of the iteration. If the closure decides to stop the iteration after the first or the second step, it's very easy to do it, no matter the recursion depth: the recursive algorithm doesn't have to be rewritten for that.
Just a nit: Instead of putting these methods in CollectionUtils or Collections, I would hope that Sun and other API vendors would implement them as instance methods in the Collection API implementations. Better OO, better API.
Only the syntax, and it's ugliness — it's ugly because you don't understand it at a glance. Once you're used to the syntax, and you can grok the intent of the code at a glance, it may not stick out as ugly. A certain amount of syntactic decoration is necessary to fit it into a language that wasn't originally designed for it, in order to make it forward-compatible.
Please,dont propose new java language features anymore.let the groovy solves all dynamic syntax as java superset.


Defining an expatriation policy is indicative of the company's development strategy in the HR policy, and avoids increasing costs due to individual packages and insufficient knowledge of social as well as financial costs of an expatriation. Though they increasingly internationalize their activities, SME (Small & Medium-sized Enterprises) do not always have an expatriation management policy. They often prepare a custom-made expatriation project for the first expat assignee that is not applicable to the next expats. The case by case policy implies higher bids of requests and precedents. Building an expatriation policy from the first project gives firm foundations: the mobility manager has answers about the choices of the company as well as possible packages.
Medium-sized enterprises often need the presence of consultants helping them thinking to the best possible practices according to their situation, their development strategy, and, of course, their HR policy. Consulting also contributes identifying the important points to consider as well as the possible traps to avoid.
Alceis was recently called upon to advise a French company (around 1000 assignees) building its expatriation policy. The aim: helping the company formalizing an attractive and coherent framework, consistent with the best practices of the market, and respecting the contractual, financial, and managerial aspects of expatriation.
Dialogue with the top management of the group, clarification of the situation and needs, preparation and animation of the meetings, practical translation into propositions respecting rules and practices, presentation of the different possible options, synthesis of the working group: this is the method currently used by Alceis consultants.
The main treated subjects are the key points of an expatriation policy: stakes of the expatriation policy vs. the strategy of the Group, choice of the different elements of the package, application modalities, working contract, social security, follow-up of the assignee and family. These topics are headlines: the content is still to be conceived and written.
The mission also covers expatriation piloting: follow-up of the assignment, yearly interview, organization of the end of the expatriation. In the outcome of a short cycle of meetings (generally four or five), the project of expatriation policy constitutes the synthesis of the working group. It will then be presented to the general management for validation, with the help of the presentation prepared by Alceis.
The approach is then materialized by a brochure. This document aims to inform the expats or future expats, and is a common reference.
Our method operates a coherent policy, source of cost reducing for the company.

Alguem consegue ajudar?

A: O problema é que no seu foreach você está substituindo a variável $sql e não está concatenando os valores. Logo, sempre será inserido apenas um registro. Neste caso, apenas o último que o usuário selecionou.
Minha sugestão:
Substitua isto:
foreach($_POST['username'] as $username){
    $sql = "INSERT INTO events (event, date, local, disc, username) VALUES ('$event','".date('d-m-Y', strtotime($date))."', '$local', '$disc', '$username')";
}

por isto:
// string inicial
$sql = "INSERT INTO events (event, date, local, disc, username) VALUES ";

foreach($_POST['username'] as $username){
    // concatenando os valores
    $sql .= "('$event','".date('d-m-Y', strtotime($date))."', '$local', '$disc', '$username'),";
}
// retira a última vírgula
$sql = substr($sql, 0, -1);

When you think of sustainability, what is the first thing that comes to mind? For many it is waste, recycling, and/or composting. While that is only one component of sustainability, it is one of the most significant areas that the University targets to make the largest impact in our carbon footprint. USM recently won its fifth Food Waste Recovery award from the Environmental Protection Agency. The result of a significant increase in food waste recovered from 2017 (77.4 tons) to 2018 (92.5 tons). Much of our success is attributed to Sodexo's cooperation with the program in food prep areas on both campuses. However, food waste recovery and recycling is still a challenge in common areas and residence halls.
The Office of Sustainability employs 15-20 students (Eco-Reps) each year to work on various sustainability initiatives on campus and waste, or material resources as we call it, is one of those areas. In the past our student employees have conducted waste monitoring in the Woodbury Campus Center, implemented a food waste recovery pilot in Upperclass Hall, and deployed a sneaker recycling program. Tackling this problem requires not only the leadership of 15-20 Eco-Reps but of each member of the USM community, which includes our commuter and residential student population.
So what can you do? First and foremost, across all three campuses there is clear signage on all the waste stations which depict and describe what can go in each bin. The few seconds it takes to look at those before throwing something out can make a meaningful impact. It costs more to dispose of trash than it does recycling or food waste. That means the more that is recycled and composted, the more money that can be allocated to other university resources.
Second, have fun getting educated about why reducing, reusing, and separating your waste is important! Not only does USM have student educators but professional staff who are experts in the subject of waste. If a student group, residential hall, office, or class wants to get to know their trash, the Office of Sustainability are excited to talk to anyone in the USM community using an interactive, hands-on approach.
Lastly, never underestimate the power of a small, seemingly insignificant action. That straw you decided not to take may seem like too small an action to make a difference but by choosing not to take it, you have the potential to divert thousands of straws from the landfill. The seemingly small choices we make each day can have a significant impact over the course of a day, a week, a year. This semester, we challenge you to make a small choice with the promise you will likely see a positive change in your life. Maybe it's less clutter, maybe it's the feeling that you're doing good for the Earth, maybe it's just a financial savings.

Bello Greco
Super Calo
Alan Stone (May 23, 1977) is a Mexican professional wrestler.
Son of Bello Greco who made his debut for Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA) in 1996 as Hollywood. Eventually hit the indy circuit including making a brief stop in Promo Azteca where he took on the Alan Stone gimmick and feuded with his brother who was working as Moto Cross. The two clearly had talent and thus got jobs working Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) opening matches.
They formed a regular undercard tag team for many years and were constantly praised for having the best matches while being very charismatic performers. After winning the CMLL Arena Coliseo Tag Team Championship, Moto Cross changed his name to Chris Stone on December 15, 2000 and the two became known as "Los Hermanos Stone". This led to a tecnico turn as they feuded with veteran no-nonsense rudos like Guerrero Del Futuro, Mogur and Damian El Guerrero.
The lack of upward mobility was clearly evident as the two seemed destined to be stuck in segundas (second match on the card) and terceras (third match on the card) for years. Eventually Chris had a bit of a falling out with CMLL and it actually benefited his brother who got a push as a singles wrestler in late 2003. Still, Alan was apparently unhappy with is role, as both he and Chris made a one match appearance in AAA under masks. It must've not gone well because they immediately returned to CMLL and everyone decided to pretend the appearance didn't happen.
Alan won the 2004 version of the Guapos U competition but there was much less focus on it the previous years. Alan's win was just a mention on the website and Alan got to team once with Guapo members Shocker & Mascara Magica before being shunted back into the midcard. Alan again left for AAA and stuck this time. Alan became a rudo and joined Los Guapos VIP beginning a feud with El Intocable. Alan dressed the same as Intocable but added coming to the ring with a mirror because he was so "Guapo" that he enjoyed looking at himself. His entrance music was "Desvelado" by Bobby Pulido which combine with his flamboyant entrance, got him over with the crowd especially the women.
Alan and Intocable were seemingly destined for a hair match but it never happened for various reasons. Instead Alan just focused on being part of Los Guapos until the group split in 2007. He ended up turning tecnico and teaming with his brothers Super Calo and Chris Stone as Los Bellos Stones.
He became your typical pretty boy tecnico who works semi-main events and the occasional main events. After Super Calo left AAA, Alan and Chris were mostly without feuds. Alan usually filled out trios matches and was used as a solid wrestler to balance out the more erratic ones.
Alan and Chris eventually turned on one of those erratic ones, El Elegido, turning rudo and helping form La Milicia. The two mostly feuded with the masked tecnico but Alan also found time to win the AAA World Mixed Tag Team Championship with Jennifer Blake, his first AAA title. His reign was not noteworthy and it seemed like he left the company (or the company stopped using him) for a time only to be brought back to lose the title.
In 2013 Alan formed a group with El Elegido and Toscano called Los Mirreyes. It was a male stripper type gimmick where they would dance to the ring and sometimes bring women in the ring to perform lap dances on them. AAA gave the group a big introduction with videos and then destroyed them on TV soon after. Alan left the promotion after the group failed then returned in 2014 without doing much.

Up to 80 percent of women will struggle with premenstrual syndrome and its uncomfortable symptoms, report Yale researchers. The reason: Their nervous systems are sensitive to the ups and downs in estrogen and progesterone that occur naturally every month. But snacking on 2 cups of yogurt a day can slash these symptoms by 48 percent, say researchers at New York 's Columbia University. "Yogurt is rich in calcium, a mineral that naturally calms the nervous system, preventing painful symptoms even when hormones are in flux," explains Mary Jane Minkin, M.D., a professor of gynecology at Yale University.


After I left school I studied law and specialised in copyright law. I worked for an indy label in Paris, until I moved to Sony in New York. It felt super corporate, which was not my thing and as I was dating a bartender at the time I became more interested in the cocktail world… so much so, I actually began working part-time in a cocktail bar called The Weyland. When I moved back to Paris I met with Gladys from Experimental Cocktail Club and asked if they were looking for anyone. After a few weeks working there I realised I didn't want to go back into the music industry, so focussed all my attention on bartending. I stayed at ECC for three years until an opportunity arose to open my own bar, Combat with my business partner. The bar is called combat for two reasons: the first is our bar is located in Belleville, which was originally split into two neighbourhoods, this one actually being named Combat and the second reason was it felt like we had actually gone through combat to open. Being two women trying to open a bar here felt like a constant fight with everyone, from the banks to contractors, it was extremely difficult. That's why we love the name of our bar, it just feels right.
My dream bar would have a restaurant as well, as I love food. So if money was no object or you guys could wave a magic wand we'd get the place next door too, open it up, so it was a huge space. Along with our cocktails we'd serve great fusion food, inspired by places I love like Maison Premiere in New York or Le Mary Celeste in Paris.
I ride my bike. I ride my bike all the time, I never use any other form of transportation as cycling relaxes me.I also eat a lot. I probably eat out in restaurants at least three times a week. I especially love places that serve natural wine and sharing plates.
Calvados because I think it's so fruity. It's sweet, it's strong and it's refreshing. It works so well with everything from other fruits to vinegar and vegetables. My favourite is Christian Drouin and for our opening they gave us a bespoke bottle filled with their award-winning 1989 calvados.
Balance and I love a drink that surprises me. When a drink looks a certain way or has certain ingredients where you think you know what to expect, then it surprises you. I love that.
Vinegar, as I love the bitterness, the sweetness and the tartness. I know it sounds weird, but I love anything fermented and smelly. At the moment I am using an apple vinegar a lot and another made with Douglas Pine.
Easy. Go and see Jesse at Jiggers in Ghent, Belgium.

Which celebrities showed up to this year's South By Southwest festival?
It was another banner year for celebrities at the annual South By Southwest (SXSW), bringing cutting-edge film, music and interactive content to Austin, Texas from March 8-17.
With more than a hundred feature films and television series either making their debuts or building on prior launch announcements, filmmakers packed the carpets and panels, including Gwyneth Paltrow, Kevin Costner, Woody Harrelson, Seth Rogan, Charlize Theron and Lupia Nyong'o.
But unlike many prior years, SXSW 2019 also saw a higher level of political participation, mostly from the left. No fewer than a half dozen presidential contenders found themselves joined by a pair of individuals who recently rose to instant, albeit controversial fame in the form of New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and comedian Kathy Griffin.
Yet while most of these individuals were in town solely to promote their projects or kickstart their political aspirations, a handful of high-profile personalities used this celebration to publicize, promote and market their own personal and professional causes.
Katie Couric, former co-host of the "Today" show, anchor of the "CBS Evening News" and correspondent for "60 Minutes," spent much of the first half of her week parlaying her public persona as an advocate for Rally Health, Inc.. The consumer-centric digital health company helps individuals to more effectively and efficiently manage their own health care.
Couric claims Rally Health puts more information and resources into the hands of consumers and allows them to play a critically important role in directing their own health care.
Just a mile down the road from Couric's event, "New Girl" star Zooey Deschanel and her husband Jacob Pechenik unveiled Lettuce Grow, a service that provides consumers with all the equipment and maintenance necessary to create and operate their own urban farm.
"We do these vertical gardens, so you can grow in a very small space," Deschanel said.
At a media preview event, Deschanel and Pechenik unveiled half a dozen vertical hydroponic farms, each containing a mix of edible flowers, herbs, leafy greens and vegetables, including tomatoes, peppers, even watermelons. The idea is based upon the concept that the consumer can grow 20 percent of his or her food at home, using 95 percent less water.
Created as a "plant subscription service," this innovative hydroponic growing system is scheduled to hit the market in April.
Meanwhile, Gwyneth Paltrow took time away from the marketing and promotion of her personal lifestyle brand Goop to lend her star power to support the Vision Council's health event, a gathering designed to share tips for eye health and the latest in eyeglass fashion.
While Couric, Deschanel, Paltrow and others used the week to push their passion projects, several presidential hopefuls saw a platform to enhance their causes. Potential Democratic candidates Beto O'Rourke, Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, Amy Kobuchar, John Hickenlooper, Jay Inslee and Julián Castro all appeared on panels and as featured speakers.
On the right, Trump's Republican primary challenger Bill Weld turned out, as did past Ohio Governor John Kasich, who is publicly mulling a 2020 primary bid. Even former Starbucks C.E.O. Howard Schultz, considering a run as an independent, made an appearance.
In the nonfiction world, Ocasio-Cortez and Griffin promoted their respective documentaries, "Knock Down the House," a look at AOC's successful run for Congress, "A Hell of a Story," which chronicled Griffin's infamous presidential severed-head gaffe that landed her in a whole heap of trouble, while kickstarting her own unique raison d'etre.

The development of a critical thinking/critical reading appraisal for grades three through six

dc.description.abstract The purposes of this dissertation were to: (1) formulate and develop a critical thinking/critical reading model based on professional opinion and the review of the literature in these areas; (2) create a critical thinking/critical reading appraisal for grades three through six; and (3) validate the critical thinking/critical reading appraisal instrument.The first step in the development of the Worden Critical Thinking/Critical Reading Model was to review the literature and related research in the area of critical thinking, critical reading and language development. A "first draft" of the model with an accompanying explanation of it was submitted to selected faculty members in the areas of elementary education and reading. Once this model was evaluated, further developed and refined it was sent to eighty authorities across the country for a more extensive evaluation. These authorities represented the areas of reading diagnosis, evaluation and testing, cognitive processes, linguistics and language development.Once the model was developed by this author and the sub-skills of critical reading identified, the Worden Critical Thinking/Critical Reading Appraisal was begun. Both the passages and test items were written on reading levels ranging from second reading level to sixth reading level. All these test items with accompanying passages were submitted to a predetermined panel of judges composed of university faculty members and reading specialists. These judges were asked to answer each test question, evaluate the clarity of the compositions and questions, and indicate the skill they felt was being measured.The passages and questions were then formed into the Worden Critical Thinking/Critical Reading Appraisal and administered to a population of students in grades three through six. The results of the first administration were statistically analyzed and a second form of the Worden Critical Thinking/Critical Reading Appraisal was created. This also was administered to a population of third, fourth, fifth and sixth grade students.Data from the validation procedures for both appraisal forms were analyzed to determine the validity (face, content, and. construct; and reliability. An item analysis was also implemented on each roam of the appraisal to determine which items would be retained in a final appraisal form.The Worden Critical Thinking/Critical Reading Appraisal was found to have a test reliability ranging from .80 to .84. The significant finding is that critical thinking and critical reading as defined in this study can be measured using a paper and pencil format. It can not be concluded thus far that this appraisal can serve as a diagnostic instrument to measure specific strengths and weaknesses in the skills of critical reading as identified in the author's model.Based on the findings of this study and subject to its stated limitations, the following conclusions seem warranted:1. A model of critical thinking and critical reading can be designed and developed.2. As a result of this model, certain critical thinking processes and critical reading skills can be identified and defined.3. The general ability to think and read critically can be measured in students with reading levels ranging from three through six.4. Individual sub-skills of critical reading cannot be reliably measured by the Worden Critical Thinking/Critical Reading Appraisal.5. A model of critical reading with separate sub-skills may not be appropriate. These sub--skills, s illustrated in the findings, are difficult, to measure as separate entities. en_US

Together with a good monsoon, the GST rate cut is likely to boost demand for the paints industry, Abhijit Roy, MD & CEO, Berger Paints, tells ET Now.
How has life changed for Berger Paints now that the GST rates have been reduced to 18%?
We have been asking for the GST reduction for quite some time now. The government at last found that there is no great revenue loss from this move. The volumes will definitely increase as is expected because the cut is substantial from 28% to 18%. Therefore, it is likely to boost the volume growth of the entire paint category. The rains have so far been reasonably good. Together, it should bode well for the paint industry.
But the other parameter has been RMC cost and, crude spiralling up. You have not seen any benefit or ease off coming in there. Would you say that the pricing scenario for paint companies at large would not really change and you would not really be able to pass on this benefit of GST reduction to the consumers?
That is not the case. We will pass on the full benefit of GST because we have been asking for this and we cannot now say that we will have retain part of the profit giving the excuse of raw material price increase. In case we need to take up prices later, with the RMC prices going up we will do that but as of now we will pass on the full benefit to the consumers.

Mining company obtains 40-year permit for municipal paper route for $ 1
By Howard D. Allgood on	 December 20, 2021 Conservation Programmes

Mining company OceanaGold may choose to bypass Hauraki District Council authorization processes and go directly to the Environmental Court for its mine expansion project under the protected lands between Waihi and Whangamata .
Earlier this year, the council granted the company the use of a Waihi paper road for $ 1 a year plus GST, council documents reveal, after being informed in June of expansion proposals for OceanaGold as part of public conservation lands.
The company has applied for a permit to occupy council areas on a paper road, Willows Rd, for 40 years.
It was granted to him with one vote against.
OceanaGold Waihi chief operating officer Matt Hine said the company will require consents before it can begin any activity on the roadside reserve.
He confirmed that if consents are granted, it would allow the necessary infrastructure as part of his proposals to develop public conservation lands at Wharekirauponga between Waihi and Whangamata.
Wharekirauponga is public conservation land and a stronghold for the critically endangered native Archey Frog.
It is also considered to be of national importance and an important natural area in the Hauraki district plan.
"We believe we could mine the resource with sensitivity and respect using proven underground methods," Hine said. "And although we have tested enough rocks to be sure that the gold found at the site could support a mine, we still need to finalize important and detailed studies before applying for resource clearances.
"Mining would only take place if it could be undertaken in a way that preserves cultural, social, recreational and environmental values."
He confirmed that OceanaGold had obtained council permission to occupy up to four small road reserve areas near DoC lands.
"These small areas of untrained road reserves – paper roads – would be investigated as potential sites for drilling and subsequently ventilation increases that would support our proposed underground mine at Wharekirauponga."
None of the activities would impede public access, he said.
"We recognize the importance and sensitivity of Wharekirauponga and its ecology, which is an important recreation area for hikers, hunters and campers and is home to valuable native flora and fauna. That's why any potential mining operation we might undertake in the future would only be underground – not at surface level. "
Mayor Adams said the decision to grant an occupancy permit was made in accordance with the council's significance and engagement policy.
He said the claimant would expect the claimant to expect consultation with iwi, as well as the DoC, stakeholders and the community before any significant mining activity is proposed.
In the report to the board, he said staff believed the board had "sufficiently understood the views and preferences of the community on this issue" not to consult on the license.
However, the same report acknowledged that other parties "strongly disagreed" with the recommendation.
DoC chief conservation officer Penny Nelson had "serious concerns" about the license of occupation.
"The CEO considers that the license effectively moves the decision-making process away from the legislative mandate of the DoC, which is to ensure the conservation of the Wharekirauponga forest ecosystem," wrote DoC Hauraki director of operations Avi Holzapfel.
The proposed conditions to protect wildlife, including "frog exclusion fences", appeared to be copied from the DoC's access agreement on protected lands. These may not be lawful for the advice to use or apply, he noted.
HDC is expected to consult seven tangata whenua groups to fulfill its legal obligations under the Treaty of Waitangi and the Local Governments Act.
It was also not "appropriate" for HDC to wait for the resource consent process to assess ecological effects.
As of Monday of this week, HDC had not received any inquiries regarding mining activities on the road reserve or for the establishment of a mine in Wharekirauponga.
But Mayor Adams said council is aware that direct referral to the environmental court is a consenting avenue open to OceanaGold.
The company plans to submit consents in 2022, after finalizing its work programs.
"We are still studying our consent options available to us," said Matt Hine.
"Regardless of our path to consent, and prior to seeking consent, we conduct a comprehensive stakeholder engagement program, which includes opportunities for all of our stakeholders to contribute to the final project design.
"Once we have submitted the application for authorization, the project will also be notified publicly, which means that anyone who wishes can submit a proposal on the project."
The Green Party has launched a campaign calling on Conservation Minister Kiritapu Allan and Energy Minister Megan Woods to keep the Prime Minister's pledge made in 2017 to ban new mines on protected land.
Former Environment Minister Eugenie Sage said the government must urgently ban any new or expanded mines on protected land.
"There are good reasons for Ministers Allan and Woods to act immediately. At some point in the next few weeks, multinational mining company OceanaGold plans to file resource consents asking councils to approve its plans to mine gold under one of the two remaining habitats for the frog. Archey from Aotearoa in New Zealand.
"The Archey Frog is the smallest of our four native frogs and one of the rarest and most endangered in the world. It is a perfect example of what the government promised to protect when it pledged to ban all new mining on protected land four years ago. "
The Waihi Nord project includes:
• A new surface mine directly west of the OceanaGold Waihi processing plant
• Increased tailings storage capacity by constructing a third tailings storage facility (TSF3) immediately east of the existing facilities and adding tailings storage in the Gladstone surface mine at the end of operations. mining
• A rock storage facility north of the current tailings storage facilities (Northern Rock Stack)
• Increase in production capacity at the existing OceanaGold processing plant.
Surface mine expansion would follow, although the company says it could be "some time" before it resumes work on a resource clearance application for the mine expansion. pit, which would include:
• Numerous road stops and realignments
• Relocation of the historic Cornwall pumping station
• Removal of part of the PYE building and some houses belonging to the company
• Relocation of the noise barrier to the east and a subsequent realignment of the Eastern Stream near Gray Street, and construction of noise barriers around other sections of the pit perimeter to mitigate the impact of the pit. noise on residents
• An elevator on the tailings storage installation project (TSF3)
• An increase in volume for the Northern Rock Stack (NRS) project
