The Institute of Quarrying is celebrating a century since its founding this year . With its beginnings in Wales during World War I , the professional body represents over 5 000 members across the UK , Australia , Malaysia , New Zealand , Hong Kong , and South Africa working in the mineral extractives sector . Institute president Miles Watkins said , “ As an industry we have come a very long way over the last 100 years . Now we ’ re casting our sights on the opportunities for the next century . That ’ s about further enhancing the sector ’ s reputation as a career that ’ s open equally to women and men , encouraging greater diversity in the workplace , as well as creating a more joined-up global approach to what we do and how we do it .”
Caterpillar has announced that it will be establishing its global headquarters in the Chicago area , rather than the previously announced headquarters complex in Peoria , Illinois , although the majority of the company ’ s employees will still be based in Peoria . Since around two-thirds of the company ’ s business has come from outside the US for the past five years , the decision was made to locate the new headquarters closer to a global transportation hub to enable easier interaction with global customers , dealers , and employees . Caterpillar expects about 300 employees to be based in leased office space , with a limited number of senior executives moving in from early this year .
Australian Border Force officers at the Port of Melbourne used sophisticated X-ray technology to detect cocaine and methamphetamine worth USD186-million concealed inside heavy mining machinery being transported from South Africa in December , reports Victoria ’ s The Age newspaper . Using upgraded container X-ray equipment , police discovered 254kg of cocaine and 104kg of methamphetamine hidden by activated charcoal after detecting anomalies with an iron ore extractor . James Watson , ABF Regional Commander Victoria and Tasmania , said the improved container X-ray allows X-rays to penetrate further into sea containers than ever before — in this case through several layers of heavy industrialised steel .
