The ICBL was launched in October 1992 by a group of six non-governmental organizations : Handicap International, Human Rights Watch, Medico International, Mines Advisory Group, Physicians for Human Rights and Vietnam Veterans of America Foundation. These founding organizations witnessed the horrendous effect of mines on the communities they were working with in Africa, Asia, the Middle East and Latin America and saw how mines hampered and even prevented their development efforts in these countries. The International Campaign to Ban Landmines(ICBL) is a global network in over 70 countries that works for a world free of antipersonnel landmines and cluster munitions, where landmine and cluster munition survivors can lead fulfilling lives. The Campaign was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of its efforts to bring about the 1997 Mine Ban Treaty. Since then, we have been advocating for the words of the treaty to become a reality, demonstrating on a daily basis that civil society has the power to change the world. As a member of the Cluster Munition Coalition, the ICBL is engaged in the global effort to ban cluster munitions and to address their humanitarian impact. In December 2006, the ICBL decided to engage extensively in the global effort to prohibit cluster munitions. This marked the first time that the ICBL had become significantly engaged on an issue other than antipersonnel mines. The main reasons for the ICBL' s decision were that cluster munitions inevitably end up leaving behind large numbers of unexploded ’duds’ which behave essentially like antipersonnel mines; that many ICBL members had been already working extensively on cluster munitions; and that international efforts to achieve a global ban on cluster munitions were at a crucial point, a point where the ICBL could have a meaningful impact.  1, record 2, English, - International%20Campaign%20to%20Ban%20Landmines

La Campagne internationale pour interdire les mines (ICBL) a été lancée en 1992 par 6 organisations : Handicap International, Human Rights Watch, Medico International, Mines Advisory Group, Physicians for Human Rights and Vietnam Veterans of America Foundation. Témoins des conséquences dramatiques des mines antipersonnel sur les communautés avec lesquelles elles travaillent en Afrique, en Asie, au Moyen-Orient et en Amérique Latine, ces organisations réalisent qu'une solution à la crise des mines antipersonnel doit être trouvée et que cette solution n'est autre qu'une interdiction totale de ce type d'armes. En tant que réseau, nous jouons essentiellement un rôle de surveillance et de plaidoyer : nous élevons les voix de la société civile afin que nos préoccupations soient entendues par les décideurs / preneurs de décision. Au travers du rapport annuel de l'Observatoire des mines, nous contrôlons et évaluons la réponse apportée par la communauté internationale au problème global des mines et des restes explosifs de guerre. Nous plaidons pour : L'adhésion universelle au Traité d'interdiction des mines et à la Convention sur les armes à sous-munitions; La mise en œuvre complète et le monitoring de ces deux traités; Le financement adéquat du déminage humanitaire et des programmes de sensibilisation aux risques, ainsi qu'une efficacité accrue dans ces domaines; L'assistance aux survivants, à leurs familles et leurs communautés et ce, de manière significative et durable. Nos activités : Nous participons et contribuons de manière experte aux mécanismes du Traité tels que les Réunions des États parties et les Réunions intersessionnelles des Comités Permanents. Nous nous prononçons contre et condamnons l'utilisation des mines et des armes à sous-munitions et appelons les États non parties à adhérer aux traités. Afin de garder les problématiques des mines et des armes à sous-munitions au plus haut à l'agenda des gouvernements, nous entreprenons des actions auprès des médias, du grand public et entretenons des contacts directs avec les gouvernements. Nous menons un travail de recherche et produisons le rapport de l’Observatoire des mines qui a pour objectif de surveiller la mise en œuvre et le respect des dispositions du Traité ainsi que d’évaluer les efforts entrepris par la communauté internationale pour résoudre le problème des mines et restes explosifs de guerre.  1, record 2, French, - Campagne%20internationale%20pour%20interdire%20les%20mines

The sudden failure of walls or pillars in a mine caused by the weight or pressure of the surrounding rocks, and accompanied by a violent release of energy.  7, record 4, English, - rock%20burst

Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 CONT

Rock bursts. In areas of very deep mining, as additional weight is supported by the pillars on the coal face, stresses may so build up that the yield point is reached. If the coal pillars, the roof, or the floor are able to yield gradually, the effects of the stresses are relieved by floor heaving, or by pillar or roof failure. Where the coal or the associated rocks are particularly strong and depths are much above average, these stresses may be relieved by rock bursts, which are relatively violent outbursts of the coal into the rooms and entries. Frequently, a large volume of gas(usually methane) is suddenly released during a rock burst in a coal mine.  8, record 4, English, - rock%20burst

Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 OBS

for "coal burst" : Rock bursts and "coal bursts" in coal mines are generally designated by the term "bumps" or "bounces". A large proportion of these "bumps" or "bounces" are actually "coal bursts" due to fracturing of pillars and remnants and need not involve any fracturing of roof or floor rock.  4, record 4, English, - rock%20burst

Record number: 4, Textual support number: 2 OBS

for "air blast" : In former years rock bursts were sometimes referred to as "air blasts". This name originated from the fact that large quantities of rock loosened by some of the larger rock bursts displaced quantities of air, with the result that a blast of air passed through the mine workings.  4, record 4, English, - rock%20burst

Sangster (1976) has divided carbonate-hosted base metal deposits into two major types: (1) Mississippi Valley, and (2) Alpine. Other workers do not make this distinction and refer to all low temperature carbonate-hosted deposits as being of Mississippi Valley-type. Sangster contends that the first type, which are strata-bound, were emplaced after lithification of the host rocks and were largely controlled by pre-ore structures, whilst he considers the Alpine-type to be stratiform and syndsedimentary. ... However, because this distinction is made by some workers on a global basis, the author has avoided using the term Mississippi Valley-type for all carbonate-hosted base metal deposits.  5, record 6, English, - Mississippi%20Valley%2Dtype%20deposit

The primer is most effective when firing independent charges if it is loaded with the detonator pointing toward the major portion of the explosives column. The primer should be placed near the collar of the hole in the direct position (cap pointing inward) since it will then impart the strongest impulse toward the balance of the explosives column and the bottom of the hole.  4, record 16, English, - collar%20primed
