Wa Subcontract: Fill & Download for Free

I'm currently writing this answer in the break room on the surface at Andy Well gold mine in Meekatharra WA. I'm only a lever monkey though so it's not first hand info but I can definitely answer specific questions you have if you PM me.At Andy Well there are two companies, Doray Minerals are the lease owners. They have their own engineers who oversee the bigger picture, as well as GBF who are subcontracted by Doray to do all the production and development work. As such there are many more GBF workers out hereThere are several different engineers on site who all have different primary tasks, for instance designing drill patterns for blasting drives/rises/stopes or controlling the flow of vent around the mine or designing the decline, drives and escapeways that have to be made.Lifestyle wise the engineers here work on a two weeks on, one week off roster, while at work its 3 -7 by the time you factor in getting up for breakfast and commuting between camp and the site. So get used to operating on 5hrs sleep a day with nearly zero 'you time' while out at site.As far as tips go I think they use Surpac 6.3 for their survey program on the computers and many sites use similar programs so being familiar with those may be a positive point for a resume.Another tip is to talk to people! As a driller I can tell you that we front lime workers consider most of the technical services workers to be 'squeezers'. The reason for this is because engineers tend to focus on the mathematical element while disregarding the human (I know many engineers including several in my family so I know it's not really their fault). An example might be the engineer getting the technical specifications of our drill rig then designing a hole so that it is less than 100mm off a wall - nice try! - it works on paper but when you have to physically locate 15 tonnes of metal there and have essentially zero space to move, it becomes very frustrating. My suggestion is to get down in contact with the people who recieve your plans and have a conversation - ask them if you can make things easier for them while still achieving your goals, if they are happy where things are set up or if you can make slight modifications next time.Finally it may be difficult to get a job in the current state of the industry here so good luck!

The government does have a supply of masks. Medical companies will be mass-producing masks. They can also subcontract to other manufacturers for more production.They will be able to supply masks to those that need them. Simple masks and improvised masks can give some protection from dust and droplets that may carry the virus. Check with your pharmacy and place an order if they do not have any. Hardware stores supply a variety of masks.Avoid going in busy public places if you are in a high-risk area. Frequently wash your hands when in public places and touching objects and do not touch your face. Wash your hands thoroughly.See your doctor if you have any concerns. Watch for government announcements for your region or your department of health. CDC or WHO also provide information..What is a coronavirus?A coronavirus is a common virus that cause an upper respiratory infection – nose, sinuses, or upper throat. While most coronaviruses are not dangerous according to WebMD, some can be serious such as MERS Middle East respiratory syndrome. The current virus is in the same family of viruses as SARS – Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome. You may recall SARs killed close to 800 people back in 2002-2003 outbreak, also originated in China.SymptomsThe current outbreak’s symptoms include cough, fever and difficulty breathing. As the symptoms worsen, the illness may lead to pneumonia, kidney-failure and even death.Notice: We do not give medical advice. We may write about health topics with regard to emergency preparedness but this is not medical advice. Please contact your medical professional if you have symptoms.Current situationSo far, the number of cases number around 300, with six reported deaths. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the outbreak started in a seafood market in the city of Wuhan, China, a heavily populated area with around 11 million people. There has been one case reported in the U.S. in Seattle, WA.Initially the virus was said to spread from animals to humans, however, authorities from China have confirmed it can be transmitted from human to human.While the majority of cases are in China, one case has been reported in Japan, and one in South Korea, and now one in the U.S.The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) is working with the WHO in closely monitoring these cases. Screenings for the new disease will be conducted at three airports: New York City’s JFK International Airport, Los Angeles International Airport and San Francisco International Airport. The Seattle patient arrived in the U.S. before the screenings were initiated.How you can prepareLearn all you can about the virus and what’s going onCurrently the CDC is concerned about travelers who have visited Wuhan, China. Below are their guidelines:“Travelers to Wuhan shouldAvoid animals (alive or dead), animal markets, and products that come from animals (such as uncooked meat).Avoid contact with sick people.Wash hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available.If you traveled to Wuhan and feel sick with fever, cough, or difficulty breathing, you shouldStay home. Except for seeking medical care, avoid contact with others.Seek medical care right away. Before you go to a doctor’s office or emergency room, call ahead and tell them about your recent travel and your symptoms.Not travel while sick.Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your sleeve (not your hands) when coughing or sneezing.Wash hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available.”However, with international travel, potential spread of a disease is only a plane-ride away.Common-sense steps you can do nowBut there is no reason to panic either. Just take some common sense measures on things you can control.Boost your immune system – eat nutritious foods, get enough sleep and rest, exercise regularly.Avoid crowds. You’ll also avoid catching a cold or flu from all the germs going around this season.Wash your hands frequently. If you are unable to wash your hands, use a hand-sanitizer with 60% alcohol content.Have a comprehensive first aid kit and learn basic first aid for minor injuries. If there is a spike in infections, doctor’s offices and emergency rooms will become over-crowded and you may not be seen right away.Masks appear to be the first thing that sells out in areas afflicted by the coronavirus- it doesn’t hurt to stock up when they are available.An alternative to wearing masks is the BioScarf, which filters out germs including cold and flu germs. I reviewed the BioScarf and use it especially in the winter. Disposable gloves are also helpful in case you have to take care of a sick person in your household.Have a plan on when you and your family will decide to stay home for a few days in case the virus spreads in your area.Have at least two weeks worth of water and food stored in your home, in case you have to quarantine yourself.For more information, read my post on how an average person can prepare for a pandemic.© Apartment Prepper 2020If you found value in the article, please help us keep this site free by supporting Apartment Prepper on Patreon.

The Australian festival industry is facing serious challenges.While the Vans Warped tour has good figures in the US, there’s a very chequered history of support for the Australian leg of the event.Kevin Lyman’s US-based tour event presents with just shy of one hundred acts. Just as in Australia, the lineup focuses on metal-punk bands. There was a four year hiatus for Vans Warped in Oz from 2013, coming after a twelve year break since 2001. [1][1][1][1]Many of the featured bands are sourced from UNIFIED Music Group, while industry giants are locked in a battle for control of the sector with the international festival juggernaut, Live Nation. [2][2][2][2]Video Credit: One of the Unified label’s headline acts, Northlane released a new album, “Mesmer”—timed for maximum impact during the Warped US tour.Kevin has previously announced his intention to expand into fourteen countries, but at this point, the logistics of a cross-country Australian leg, with huge distances between cities, high labour and production costs, declining attendance for festivals and onerous compliance demands by local authorities? Nope, the outlook is not good.THE AWFUL TRUTHThe Australian festival scene is suffering from increased ticket prices and declining attendances. The cashed-up Live Nation group has been using its deep pockets to aggressively snap up Australian festivals. Big Day Out, Legion and Soundwave have shut down.Video Credit: Northlane // Mesmer; sophisticated multimedia and live event production values come at heavy capital cost.Multi-national monoliths like Live Nation have had mixed results, with little improvement in crowd numbers. Production companies and contractors have experienced delays in payments and way too many court cases as high level, much-loved and legendary promoters, with twenty-five year histories of success have retired, sold event stakes, gone bankrupt or died.Right now as the Aussie summer comes on—stagehands, roadies and production companies who only a few years ago had to subcontract out to labour hire companies to access enough “box-pushers” are now scrambling for work as the festival sector contracts. It’s a period of buyouts and consolidation as predatory Pacific and American production companies muscle in and snap up the cream.While Australia lacks depth in the manufacture of event gear, the country has huge talent resources, exporting expertise worldwide, especially in event industry conferences promoted by ‘Destination NSW’ during the annual Vivid Festival. [3][3][3][3] [4][4][4][4]Oz hosts the largest lighting hire company in the southern hemisphere, world-class audio, electronics and innovative event engineering companies. Boutique festivals are flourishing.Even so, professionals and freelancers who reasonably expected ninety-hour weeks at this time of year and could name their rates are now relying on industry contacts and alliances to survive. At the lower end of the scale, skilled labour hire is drifting to other industries as opportunities evaporate away.It’s a grim picture where the facts don’t make it past the confident announcements and responses to public enthusiasm:The Festivals (Contemporary Music) category experienced significant declines in ticket sales revenue by 25.2% from $107m in 2015 to $79.9m in 2016 and by 48.2% in attendance from 1.3m in 2015 to 0.67m in 2016.Contemporary Music Festival revenue peaked in 2014 at $129.2m. Between 2014 and 2016 revenue decreased by 38.2%. This category experienced the second highest decline in revenue (after Circus and Physical Theatre) and attendance (after Special Events).Contrary to the declines in revenue and attendance, average ticket prices for this category increased by 6.7% from $117.72 to $125.60 in 2016.The substantial decrease in Festivals (Contemporary Music) revenue and attendance was primarily driven by the cancellation of major national touring festivals Future Music Festival and Stereosonic in 2016.Major contemporary music festivals that took place in 2016 include Splendour in the Grass, Bluesfest, Groovin’ the Moo, St. Jerome’s Laneway Festival, VIVID Live and Meredith Music Festival.The music festival market in SA and WA were hit particularly hard by the cancellation of two major festivals, experiencing a decrease in revenue by 74.6% and 52% respectively.—Ticket Attendance and Revenue Survey 2016.Industry-wide, attendance numbers have halved since 2015, revenue's back to pre-2010 levels:Image Credit: Live Performance Australia, Ticket Attendance and Revenue Survey 2016.The effect of Warped’s absence on the strong Australian metal-punk scene will be minimal. After all, there’s only been three tours in seventeen years. The effect of the tour on the Aussie music scene is sadly, far less than fans realise.Punters will continue to support their genres without much knowledge of the realities of promoting large scale events, while social media erupts with strong opinions.Harsh reality? Due to heavy consolidation and increasing costs plus smaller margins in cross-country event productions, there’ll continue to be a painful period of adjustment.Young bands will still experiment and develop loyal followings while internationals balk at the realities, logistics and costs of Australian tours—instead, focusing on Sydney and Melbourne gigs. It’s called the music business for a reason.Never forget, the music industry is so highly organised, artists receive an average $25 per $1,000 spent by the public on their music. Worldwide, ninety per cent of music produced never sells. The most vocal opinions in the metal-punk fanbase often tend to come from those who pirate their sources of music. If you love an artist, support them. [5][5][5][5]As for Vans Warped? As Joni Mitchell sang, ♫ “You don’t know what you’ve got ‘till it’s gone.” ♬POST-EDIT:I’ve had some comment on other platforms about this piece being an “Australian answer to an American question.” There’s reasons for that:Australia is a very good thermometer for the world industry, with its high average incomes and distillation of The Arts and media sourced from all over the globe.I expect to see large scale events continue in Europe, Japan, some South American countries and Korea, where the logistics are much easier and the depth of support more fanatic. In The States? Ongoing structural economic and social inequities may spell the decline of all but the elite festivals in privileged regional markets like California and New York.Here in Oz, Peter Noble’s Byron Bay Bluesfest goes from strength to strength, with sophisticated marketing beginning the day the previous year’s festival opens. Yet even with Bluesfest, it’s the east coast sideshows which make the venture economic for artists and accessible to fans.The other mega-fests are generally struggling. Headline events like Sydney’s Vivid and New Years Eve are getting larger crowds every year—over 1.6m, but they’re free to attend and the public is largely unaware that the real purpose of the events is the conferences, networking and tech exchange that occurs out-of-sight at corporate events associated with the displays.The regulatory environment, cost of tech and punter attitudes are all killing larger events. In California, Desert Trip was an outlier. I like to rave on on Quora about U2’s 360° in 2010—what an experience building that was! But, that was a ¾ billion tour that didn’t break even until 70% of the way through. Looking back, in many ways, that tour seven years ago was the high tide mark in events production.The consolidation phase has created conditions where companies with an eye on “efficiency” are leading. The lighting hire company I mentioned creates creches of lighting designers paid a fraction of freelance rates, who in return, get to practice their craft with an extraordinary volume of work. The company’s worth ¼ of a billion, run by a ruthlessly focused (lighting pun intended) legend in the industry.As for ticket prices? On a related note, something heartening just happened in Australia. The powerful Australian Competition and Consumer Commission recently took on ticket reseller, Viagogo. (ACCC takes ticket reseller Viagogo to court).It’ll be impossible for them to continue in Australia without making drastic adjustments to their current business model. Of course, they merely offered the platform with a ridiculous 30% markup and obscure, impenetrable customer support practices; it was the public—the scalpers armed with bots and punters asking outrageous prices for resales of presale tickets, plus the fraudsters selling fake tix who created the problems and the public outrage. There’s greed and sharks at all levels.There will always be exceptions—some mega events will survive—but the near future is most definitely in targeted, boutique events and distributed online streaming broadcasts.—https://postcardsfromaroadie.quora.com/Music-Festivals%E2%80%94The-Awful-Truth/comment/1434628Footnotes[1] Warped Tour to Hit the Road For Final Trek in 2018: Exclusive Interview With Founder Kevin Lyman[1] Warped Tour to Hit the Road For Final Trek in 2018: Exclusive Interview With Founder Kevin Lyman[1] Warped Tour to Hit the Road For Final Trek in 2018: Exclusive Interview With Founder Kevin Lyman[1] Warped Tour to Hit the Road For Final Trek in 2018: Exclusive Interview With Founder Kevin Lyman[2] The 2017 Vans Warped Tour Lineup Has Landed - Music Feeds[2] The 2017 Vans Warped Tour Lineup Has Landed - Music Feeds[2] The 2017 Vans Warped Tour Lineup Has Landed - Music Feeds[2] The 2017 Vans Warped Tour Lineup Has Landed - Music Feeds[3] Vivid Sydney 2015[3] Vivid Sydney 2015[3] Vivid Sydney 2015[3] Vivid Sydney 2015[4] David Caune's answer to How much does Vivid Sydney cost to produce?
