Mafic-ultramafic complexes occur worldwide. They contain various mineral deposits: nickel-copper, platinum group elements, chromite, titanium magnetite ores, etc. Mining results in huge quanitities of overburden and enclosing dirt rocks. They are accumulated in mining areas and quite often create serious environmental problems. At some deposits, basic rocks prevail in waste. Such rocks need to be utilized and involves in marketable production. The possibility of their use is studied by us in terms of the Yoko-Dovyren troctolite massif (Northern Baikal region). The troctolite zone thickness in massif reaches 1090 m, and its extent is 25 km at least from the southwest on the northeast. As a result of the conducted researches, it is established that crushed stone manufactred from troctolite has high quality. It resists environmental exposure, chemical impact of alkalies and any type radioactive decay. It contains no harmful components and foreign impurity. Sand manufactured from troctolite crushing siftings has high quality too. It can be used in production of building materials, in different type construction works or in road making. Use of waste instead of minerals will allow producing high-quality concrete at minimum cash investments, reducing waste and, thus, mitigating environmental impactt.

Reviews for "Little Witch Academia Cosplay: Bringing the Magic to Life"
1. James - 2/5 - I found "Little Witch Academia" to be quite underwhelming. The story was predictable and lacked depth, making it difficult for me to become invested in the characters or their journey. The animation style was also not to my taste, as I prefer more detailed and intricate artwork. Overall, I was disappointed with this anime and would not recommend it to others who are looking for a deeper and more compelling magical fantasy series.
2. Emily - 3/5 - While "Little Witch Academia" had its charming moments, I couldn't help but feel like something was missing. The characters were likeable enough, but their development felt rushed, and many of the plot points seemed quite convenient and contrived. Additionally, I found the humor to be hit or miss, with some jokes falling flat. Overall, this anime had potential, but it fell short of my expectations, leaving me feeling somewhat unsatisfied.
3. Michael - 2/5 - I tried watching "Little Witch Academia" hoping for a captivating magical adventure, but I was thoroughly disappointed. The pacing of the story was off, with moments that seemed dragged out and others that felt rushed. The lack of character development also hindered my enjoyment, as I found it difficult to connect with or care about the protagonists. The animation style was bright and colorful, but it couldn't make up for the lackluster plot and execution. Unfortunately, this anime just didn't live up to the hype for me.
