REVOLUTIONARY: Some of the new machinery for Premron's Continuous Haulage System which is being implemented at its Kestrel mine.
IN A world-first a Central Queensland underground coal mine will haul coal without the use of shuttle cars in a bid to make the industry safer and more productive.
After five years of testing prototypes of the technology at its Gladstone workshop, Premron has implemented its Continuous Haulage System at Kestrel Coal near Emerald.
The company is receiving a $1 million Federal Government METs Ignited Scheme to support the move.
The semi-autonomous system will take coal from the underground gateroad wall and discharge it onto a conveyor belt which conveys the product out of the mine, removing the need to use shuttle cars.
Managing director Michael Whelan said the CHS would make underground mining safer and save the company tens of millions of dollars per year.
"We are confident that this system will improve productivity by at least double," Mr Whelan said.
"The current industry average of cutting a tunnel in gateroad development is two to three metres per operating hour. "During our underground trial we will be expecting an average of six metres per operating hour."
It is hoped the system would be fully autonomous and cut at least ten metres per hour (machine capacity is 28 metres per hour).
Mr Whelan said removing the use of shuttle cars provided the coal mine with safe and continuous coal haulage.
It is a trolley tram system, on a roof-mounted monorail and fitted with Premron's closed belt system.
Mr Whelan said the closed conveyor system would also control coal dust exposure, one cause of black lung disease.
"Shuttle cars can also be a danger to personnel as they take up large spaces in the tunnel and have caused serious injuries to personnel since their introduction to mining," he said.
"Premron's CHS machines are fixed onto a monorail, ensuring the system does not deviate from its path and are an overall far safer system to manage."
Mr Whelan said current shuttle car drivers would be trained to operate the system.
He said the project would generate jobs, including the manufacture and servicing of the machinery from Premron's Central Queensland base.
There is also potential to sell the equipment to other underground mining companies.
After working with Australian Coal Association Research Limited to develop the technology, Mr Whelan said Premron knew of at least 20 Australian underground coal mining companies which were watching the field trials closely.
He acknowledges support from the coal industry as part of the trials, in particular ACARP's research committee.
Alvaro Morata could be heading back to Spain.
The scrutinized Chelsea striker is a primary transfer target for La Liga outfit Sevilla, according to ESPN's Eduardo Fernandez-Abascal. The Spaniard's agent has reportedly flown to London to discuss a potential loan move to the Andalusian club this month.
Morata's representative met Sevilla director Joaquin Caparros at the start of this week to ascertain the club's interest, and Caparros subsequently confirmed to Spanish media he wants to sign Morata, saying: "It is true that we have monitored Morata's situation but it's also true that it's a very, very complex operation because of the cost of the transfer."
He added: "It's true that he may want to move to Sevilla above other options but I reiterate that it's a hugely difficult move because Chelsea is a difficult club to negotiate with."
Sevilla manager Pablo Machin appears enamored with the idea of having Morata installed as his target man in attack. "Having Morata would be a good problem for me - or I'll even take away the word problem. It would be a blessing for me," he explained.
However, Machin's men may face stiff competition.
La Liga rivals Atletico Madrid are pursuing a loan-to-buy deal for the former Real Madrid man, according to The Independent's Miguel Delaney. Los Rojiblancos are reportedly hoping to take advantage of good relations between themselves and Chelsea, as well as Sevilla's reluctance to pay up in full, in order to get a deal done.
Meanwhile, The Telegraph's Matt Law suggests Morata's Blues teammates believe he is desperate to end his time at Stamford Bridge, and asserts that Chelsea will sanction his January departure if they can replace him up front this month.
Morata has scored just nine goals in 24 games for Chelsea this season but has a proven track record in Spain, having hit 20 goals in his last season with Real Madrid. According to Spanish outlet AS, Morata is eager to return to La Liga on a short-term basis, and Sevilla have offered to pay more than half of the striker's considerable wages. ABC Sevilla's Fran Montes de Oca claims Morata "does not want anything else" other than a move to the Sanchez Pizjuan.
Alongside Wissam Ben Yedder and Andre Silva, he would add another dimension in attack for a Sevilla team sitting third in La Liga and also still competing in the Europa League and Copa del Rey.
Chelsea, meanwhile, have been linked with the likes of AC Milan's Gonzalo Higuain as they look for an upgrade in attack.
As per @efabascalUK, #Morata's agent is travelling to London to meet with #cfc to discuss Sevilla move. Obviously depends on Chelsea getting someone else in first. #Sarri wants #Higuain.
Alright, so it can't really fly, but it comes pretty darn close after executing a massive jump.
Eduard Nikolaev, the driver for Team Kamaz Master, has already shown he has impressive skills, but he decided to test his rally truck ahead of the Silk Way Rally in some extreme conditions.
Somewhere in the frigid, snowy covered hills of Russia, Nikolaev put his Kamaz Dakar rally truck and his new Continental tires to work. It's a tough job moving 10 tons of mass, but 1,000 horsepower and good tires are one way to handle it. The truck was able to accelerate past speeds of 100 mph, despite the snow and slush-covered terrain. When Nikolaev does take on the massive snow jump, he was able to take the truck 98 feet through the air and pulled an intense 12 g of force in the process.
“For our Kamaz-4326, these conditions are very similar to driving on the sands of South America or Africa and for the team this is great training in the skills of driving on the coming ‘silk’ dunes,” Nikolaev explained.
The truck must be up to snuff ahead of the Silk Way Rally. As the name implies, it's a journey through Russia, Kazakhstan and China. Nikolaev and the truck will cover over 5,900 miles in the rally and encounter various conditions along the way. If this video says anything, he's ready for it.
The city of Elmhurst's Zoning and Planning Commission will hold a public hearing to consider the city's draft subarea plans at 7 p.m. Oct. 2 at Elmhurst City Hall, 209 N. York St., Elmhurst.
ELMHURST – The city of Elmhurst's Zoning and Planning Commission will hold a public hearing to consider the city's draft subarea plans at 7 p.m. Oct. 2 at Elmhurst City Hall, 209 N. York St., Elmhurst.
The public is invited to attend and provide input, according to a city of Elmhurst news release.
The city's comprehensive plan that was adopted in 2009 contains nine subareas, and the city recently determined five of these subareas should be updated, the release stated. The subarea plans help decision makers determine how best to provide services, direct growth and maintain infrastructure for these areas, according to the release.
The city began the initial planning phases for the subarea plans in April 2017, focusing on five key areas: Lake Street, west of York Street; the intersection of North Avenue and Route 83; the block northwest of the First and York streets intersection; the blocks surrounding the intersection of York and Vallette streets; and the district bounded by Butterfield Road, Roosevelt Road and York Street, the release stated.
The areas warrant specific recommendations tailored to the special circumstances surrounding them, according to the release. Input gathered at an Aug. 29, 2017, visioning workshop and a May 2 open house introducing the draft subarea plans was compiled, reviewed and included in the plans, the release stated.
The final plans will include recommendations for land use, transportation, infrastructure, character and sense of place for each area, according to the release. The Zoning and Planning Commission will make a recommendation on the plans, which the Elmhurst City Council will then review, the release stated.

The president-elect hasn't made clear how he will avoid conflicts between his vast empire and his official duties.
Donald Trump is struggling to tamp down mounting questions about potential conflicts of interest between his vast business fortune and his incoming presidential administration, as the president-elect refuses to specify any dramatic steps to wall off his real estate and branding empire.
The concerns were exacerbated in recent days by media reports revealing that after his stunning win in this month’s presidential election, Trump continued to meet with foreign business partners, while his new Washington hotel was soliciting business from foreign diplomats.
The reports represent an early test to a key piece of Trump’s campaign agenda — his promises to “drain the swamp” of Washington and usher in a government that works for regular people.
The president-elect’s team has insisted that steps were being taken to adhere to ethics rules — and to avoid even the perception that he was cashing in on the highest office in the land.
But it remains unclear when the leadership transition at the Trump Organization will occur between Trump and his adult children, or how the children will wall off their father from the business, given that they and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner also are expected to be close advisers to Trump in the White House.
But Miller did not respond to emailed follow-up questions about what criteria were being used to avoid potential overlaps between Trump’s business and official dealings, or who specifically was doing the monitoring.
The uncertainty comes as Democrats are calling for a review of Trump’s “financial arrangements” for potential conflicts of interest before he’s sworn in as president, and even some conservatives are urging him to take more drastic steps than merely handing over the business to his family.
But Peter Schweizer, the conservative author who drove attention to overlaps between Hillary Clinton’s State Department and her family’s personal and charitable finances, on Saturday suggested that unless Trump fully divested, he could be susceptible to similar conflicts.
The Argentine government on Monday pushed back on a report that Trump used an official phone call with Argentine President Mauricio Macri to discuss a business project in the South American country.
“That issue was not part of the conversation between president Mauricio Macri and president-elect Donald Trump,” said presidential spokesperson Ivan Pavlovsky. “The subject both leaders talked about was the institutional relationship, and they briefly mentioned the personal relationship they have had for years."
But adding to the intrigue around the call, The Asahi Shimbun, a Japanese newspaper, on Monday printed an interview with Macri in which he revealed that during the call he also talked to Trump’s daughter, Ivanka, who plays a major role in running the Trump Organization.
It’s not clear what the two of them discussed. A Trump aide did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Schweizer’s warnings are particularly notable because of his ties to Trump’s team.
Trump’s incoming White House senior counselor Steve Bannon founded Schweizer’s nonprofit Government Accountability Institute, which produced Clinton Cash. The nonprofit was funded by Rebekah Mercer, who sat on its board and also sits on the Trump transition team’s 16-member executive committee.
A New Haven man was arrested by Guilford police Wednesday following a report that he used “racially based intimidation” and threatened a family at a Whitfield Street establishment Sunday.
Brendan Garvey, 55, of New Haven was arrested on warrant and charged with second-degree intimidation based on bigotry or bias and second-degree threatening — both class D felonies. He was also charged with second-degree breach of peace — a Class B misdemeanor.
On Sunday afternoon, a Guilford family told police they were in the same establishment as Garvey when he “forced uninvited interaction with them, inferring, based on their perceived heritage, that they did not belong in Guilford,” police Lt. Tim Bernier said in a press release Wednesday evening.
Bernier said police appreciated the family’s “courage and willingness” to come forward.
Garvey is being held on $10,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in Superior Court in New Haven on Friday.
Blue Apron filed on Thursday for its initial public offering. The company sells a meal kit delivery product that delivers weekly pre-portioned meals with accompanied recipes and instructions. Pricing starts at $8.99 per serving and includes free delivery with no commitments and the option to cancel at any time.
Blue Apron was founded in 2012 to give customers a solution to a "burdensome, time consuming, and expensive" shopping experience at grocery stores. The company's mission is to provide a better cooking experience that includes only the required items in order to reduce overall waste.
"Our core product is the cooking experience we help our customers create," the company said in its regulatory filing. "Central to these experiences are the original recipes we design and send along with fresh, seasonal ingredients directly to our customers."
By eliminating the middlemen (such as grocery stores) the company is able to directly sell to the consumer which helps drive costs down. Blue Apron says it is able to reach over 99 percent of the entire U.S. population.
The company intends to use the capital raised from the IPO to repay a portion of outstanding debt, for working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes. Blue Apron may also use a portion of the proceeds to finance an acquisition, although there are currently no deals in the pipeline.
Competitors to Blue Apron include Hello Fresh, Peach Dish, Plated, Home Chef, Purple Carrot, according to a 2016 Observer review of meal kit delivery companies.
Revenue for 2014, 2015 and 2016 totaled $77.8 million, $340.8 million and $795.5 million, respectively. This represents an impressive 338-percent growth rate from 2014 to 2015 and a growth rate of 133 percent from 2015 to 2016.
For the quarters ending March 31, 2016, and March 31, 2017, the company generated $172.1 million and $244.8 million in revenue, respectively. This represents a growth rate of 42 percent.
In the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016, Blue Apron incurred net losses of $(30.8) million.
Management advised investors to anticipate a healthy growth rate in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 as well.
Professional furniture, architecture, and technology design products provider Steelcase Inc. (NYSE:SCS) enjoyed profitable growth during its fiscal third quarter thanks to a heavy slate of project work in the Americas segment, which supplemented expansion in higher-growth markets. Below, we'll zero in on the factors that contributed to Steelcase's successful quarter. Note that all comparative numbers in this article are presented against the prior-year quarter (the fiscal third quarter of 2018).
The company's reported revenue was undergirded by strong organic revenue growth (i.e. reported revenue adjusted for acquisitions, divestitures, and currency translation effects). Steelcase achieved 13% organic revenue expansion in the third quarter, which follows 8% year-over-year expansion in the sequential previous quarter (the second fiscal quarter of 2019).
The company's Americas segment booked 16% revenue growth and 12% organic growth, which was driven by "strong project business from both large and small customers."
The Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) segment notched reported and organic top-line improvements of 16% and 12%, respectively. Management attributed EMEA's gains to an order backlog at the beginning of the quarter.
"Other" revenue (which includes the Asia Pacific region as well as the Designtex textiles and PolyVision ceramic surfaces businesses) improved 17%, and the segment's organic revenue jumped 20% on crisp business in Asia.
