What Great Things does the Lord Have in Mind for You?
I couldn’t help but picture him as a Walmarter.
“Maybe you could be a teacher, like your dad.” I suggested.
One thing I love about 5-year-olds is that the whole world is open to them. They believe they are good at everything and that they can become anything they want to be. We were all like that many years ago. When our Kindergarten teacher asked who could paint, we all raised our hands. Who could dance? Again, every hand. Who is good at soccer? Unanimous.
Then we grew up. We put boundaries and definitions upon our dreams. Reality set in. We said to ourselves, I can’t be a doctor; I don’t have a degree. I can’t fly the airplane; I am not a pilot. I can’t paint; I don’t have any talent. Sometimes I wish we could be in kindergarten again, to have that kind of faith in ourselves.
Nephi had faith like that.
Was Nephi a ship builder?
I searched through the first 17 chapters of the Book of Mormon and couldn’t find any record of that information. No schooling. No previous experience in shipbuilding. But for some reason, the Lord thought he was.
This answer is even more incomprehensible to me.
Not only was Nephi not a shipbuilder ––he didn’t even own the tools for the trade. Before Nephi could begin building the ship he had to make the tools.
Just like Nephi, sometimes the greatest building experiences of our life will require having faith and being willing to go to work, even if we have to begin by constructing the tools.
What great things does the Lord have in mind for you? What tools could you use to help you achieve those great things?
The Lord sent Nephi on an unlikely adventure. Through the use of what some might call unlikely tools the Lord was able to help Nephi recognize His ability to accomplish great things during that adventure.
One more lesson we learn from Nephi, the builder, is the importance of an instructor. Nephi couldn’t teach himself to build the boat. He needed to go somewhere for instruction. If we really want to obtain instruction from the Lord we must go to the places where He is ––the temple, scriptures, and prayer.
The Lord can instruct us in personal and individual ways if we let Him. Through temple visits, prayer and scripture study this instruction becomes clear.
Today, consider what your great work might be.
Where could you go to obtain instruction? What tools will you use in your building process? What are some steps you might take as you being your great work?

“All of Us:” THE model for IoT privacy and security!
pardon me in advance:this will be long, but I think the topic merits it!
One of my fav bits of strategic folk wisdom (in fact, a consistent theme in my Data Dynamite book on the open data paradigm shift) is, when you face a new problem, to think of another organization that might have one similar to yours, but which suffers from it to the nth degree (in some cases, even a matter of literal life-or-death!).
That’s on the likelihood that the severity of their situation would have led these organizations to already explore radical and innovative solutions that might guide your and shorten the process. In the case of the IoT, that would include jet turbine manufacturers and off-shore oil rigs, for example.
I raise that point because of the ever-present problem of IoT privacy and security. I’ve consistently criticized many companies’ lack of attention to seriousness and ingenuity, and warned that this could result not only in disaster for these companies, but also the industry in general due to guilt-by-association.
This is even more of an issue since the May roll-out of the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), based on the presumption of an individual right to privacy.
Now, I have exciting confirmation — from the actions of an organization with just such a high-stakes privacy and security challenge — that it is possible to design an imaginative and effective process alerting the public to the high stakes and providing a thorough process to both reassure them and enroll them in the process.
Informed consent at its best!
you can’t ignore it and still participate in the program: you must sign the consent form.
then you have to answer some basic questions to demonstrate that you understand the implications.
the same process is repeated for each component of the program.
“Personal information, like your name, address, and other things that easily identify participants will be removed from all data.
“We require All of Us Research Program partner organizations to show that they can meet strict data security standards before they may collect, transfer, or store information from participants.
We encrypt all participant data. We also remove obvious identifiers from data used for research. This means names, addresses, and other identifying information is separate from the health information.
We require researchers seeking access to All of Us Research Program data to first register with the program, take our ethics training, and agree to a code of conduct for responsible data use.
We make data available on a secure platform—the All of Us research portal—and track the activity of all researchers who use it.
The process is thorough, easy to understand, and assures that those who actually sign up know exactly what’s expected from them, what will be done to protect them, and that they may still have some risk.
Why can’t we expect that all IoT product manufacturers will give us a streamlined version of the same process?
I will be developing consulting services to advise companies that want to develop common-sense, effective, easy-to-implement IoT privacy and security measures. Write me if you’d like to know more.
One final effort to work this blockchain obsession out of my system so I can get on to some exciting other IoT news!
I couldn’t resist summarizing for you the key points in”Blockchain: the solution for transparency in product supply chains,” a white paper from Project Provenance Ltd., a London-based collective (“Our common goal is to deliver meaningful change to commerce through open and accessible information about products and supply chains.”).
I also love Provenance’s work with blockchain because it demonstrates one of my IoT “Essential Truths,” namely, that we must share data rather than hoard it. The exact same real-time data that can help streamline the supply chain to get fish to our stores quicker and with less waste can also mean that the people catching it are treated fairly. How cool is that? Or, as Benjamin Herzberg, Program Lead, Private Sector Engagement for Good Governance at the World Bank Institute puts it in the quote that begins the paper, Now, in the hyper-connected and ever-evolving world, transparency is the new power.
While I won’t summarize the entire paper, I do recommend that you so, especially if blockchain is still new to you, because it gives a very detailed explanation of each blockchain component.
“The blockchain removes the need for a trusted central organization that operates and maintains this system. Using blockchains as a shared and secure platform, we are able to see not only the final state (which mimics the real world in assigning the materials for a given product under the ownership of the final customer), but crucially, we are able to overcome the weaknesses of current systems by allowing one to securely audit all transactions that brought this state of being into effect; i.e., to inspect the uninterrupted chain of custody from the raw materials to the end sale.
Please do read the whole report, and think how the economic benefits of applying blockchain-enabled IoT practices to your supply chain can also warm your heart.
The only issue Clinton and Trump can agree on is the need for massive improvements to the nation’s crumbling infrastructure, especially its roads and bridges. But, please, let’s make it more than concrete and steel.
Let’s make it smart, and let’s make it the top priority for the IoT because of the trickle-down effects it will have on everything else in our economy.
The IoT is perfectly suited to the needs of a new information-based infrastructure, especially one which must balance promoting the economy and mobility with drastic reductions in greenhouse gasses (transportation produces approximately a third of the U.S.’s emissions). It can both improve maintenance (especially for bridges) through built-in sensors that constantly monitor conditions and can give advance warning in time to do less-costly and less-disruptive predictive maintenance, and reduce congestion by providing real-time information on current congestion so that real-time alterations to signals, etc., can be made rather than depending on outmoded fixed-interval stoplights, etc.
Sachs points out that infrastructure spending as a percentage of GDP has fallen since the Reagan years, and that it will require much more spending to bring it up to date.
A good place to look for a model is China. The country already sports the largest concentration of M2M connections in the world: “74 million connections at the end of 2014, representing almost a third of the global base,” much of that in the form of smart bridges, smart rails, and smart grid, and critical because of the country’s rapid economic growth (Ratti cites a Beijing traffic jam that immobilized cars for an astounding 12 days!). Similarly, the government aims to have 95% of homes equipt with smart meters by next year.The country has used its investment in smart infrastructure to build its overall IoT industry’s ability to compete globally.
“We should seek an infrastructure that abides by the triple bottom line of sustainable development. That is, the networks of roads, power, water, and communications should support economic prosperity, social fairness, and environmental sustainability. The triple bottom line will in turn push us to adopt three guiding principles.
First, the infrastructure should be “smart,” deploying state-of-the-art information and communications technologies and new nanotechnologies to achieve a high efficiency of resource use.
Second, the infrastructure should be shared and accessible to all, whether as shared vehicles, open-access broadband in public areas, or shared green spaces in cities.
The IoT, particularly because of its ability to let us share real-time data that in turn can regulate the infrastructure, is ideally suited to this challenge. It’s time for Congress to not only spend on infrastructure but to do so wisely.
The result will be not only the infrastructure we need, but also a more robust IoT industry in general.

This post is sponsored on behalf of Crayola. Go Thank a Teacher in your life today!
We are counting down the days to the end of summer and thinking about all of our teacher friends who are gearing up to get back into the school groove as well within the next week. What we don’t often realize is that they go back to work a few weeks earlier getting ready for our kids and the upcoming school. They are going to seminars, sprucing up their classrooms, buying supplies and books, and so much more.
Crayola wants us to take a few moments and thanks the teachers in our kids’ lives by writing a thank you card so that they can see just how much we really appreciate their hard work and dedication to teaching our kids. Crayola is a trusted brand that makes so many supplies that our teachers use year in and year out. I know I have a few teachers that my kids have had and even some when I was in school that I should thank.
You may have seen while out school shopping the Thank A Teacher campaign promoted on items including 24 ct. crayons, 10 ct. Classic Broad Line and Fine Line Markers, 12 ct Colored Pencils and more. Families are encouraged to create a thank you card for a special teacher in their world and upload to www.Crayola.com/ThankATeacher for a chance to win grand prizes for their family, teacher and school!
Just look at the sweet notes that my kids wrote to their teachers from last year. They plan on giving them to their teachers when we go for meet the teacher night! I love their sweet hearts and just to see how far they have come in their sentence structure. I also love seeing just what they learned and took away from the previous year.
As you gear up for back to school, make sure you pick up some extra supplies for the teachers too to replenish their closets. There are plenty of times when my kids have run out of pencils or crayons or glue and the teachers have always had some to share. It is the least we can do when they help nourish the minds of our kids and prepare them.

The public Minister Lynne Brown has announced (18 February 2015) that Medupi’s Unit Six turbine is now running at optimum speed.
This is the first turbine that has been built since the last power station was built over 20 years. We have achieved 3000 rpm, which is a significant milestone in the commissioning process and it’s now to be followed by the last step, which is the electrical test on our generator, explains Roman Crookes, General Manager for Medupi Power Station.
Synchronisation will occur within the next few weeks post these electrical test, and it means the first of the 800MW will slot into the national grid, adds Crookes.
Medupi Power Station, a Greenfields coal-fired plant project located on the west of Lephalale, Limpopo Province, South Africa is currently under construction as part of Eskom’s new build programme set to address the electricity demand and supply challenges facing the country.
The Greenfields coal plant project will comprise of six units with a gross nominal capacity of 800MW each, resulting in a total capacity of 4 800MW. The power plant utilises a super critical boiler and turbines, technology designed to operate at higher temperature and pressures than Eskom’s previous generation units for greater efficiency.
Medupi power station has been designed as a an environmental friendly project as it utilises supercritical technology, direct dry cooling technology, flue gas desulphurisation, pulse jet fabric filters and low NOx burners, water and air pollution, air cooled condensers, and fauna and flora.
Since the plant will utilise the supercritical technology to improve the plant efficiency, the higher efficiency of supercritical boilers as designed for significantly higher steam temperatures and pressures resulting in better use of natural resources. It will result in burning less coal per megawatt leading to emission of less carbon dioxide and other gases into the atmosphere.
The plant also make use of direct dry cooling technology which releases virtually no cooling water into the atmosphere providing a significant benefit in terms of water consumption. The power station is earmarked to use approximately 0.16 litres of water per kWh of electricity produced and this is expected to increase by 0.2 litres of water per kWh when the flue gas desulphurisation (FGD) plant is retrofitted to Medupi.
The project will also entail a Flue gas desulphurisation (FGD) as a retrofit and thus making it one of the environmental friendly coal-fired power stations. It will also include pulse jet fabric filters and low NOx burners. The low NOx burners on its boilers are designed to minimise the production of nitrogen oxides in the furnace.
The plant is designed in a manner that seeks to mitigate air as well as ground water pollution and this will be achieved through the lining of the coal stockyard and ash dumps, enclosed mill bins and fully enclosed transfer houses with dust extraction systems.
In addition, the law grade steam exhausted from the low pressure turbines and temperature is sent to the air cooled condenser and is then pumped through the feed water heaters back to the boiler to start the cycle over again. The essential part of using this system is on condensing the steam in order to pump the water back to the boiler for reuse.
Unit 6 is the first of six – 800 MW units at Medupi, and is scheduled to deliver stable commercial base-load power into the grid by mid 2015. The second unit at Medupi is currently scheduled for handover by mid/ end 2016, with the remaining four units following at six-monthly intervals thereafter, taking final completion of the 4, 800 MW Medupi power station to mid/ end 2018 at the earliest.
The synchronisation of the first Medupi power station station’s six units comes at a time when the country is facing serious electricity challenges, the collapse of a silo at Majuba power station in Mpumalanga as well as unexpected breakdowns, which result in the power grid being strained.
Since the project is constructed on an 883 hactare farm which was previously used for game and cattle grazing, a thorough nature conservation exercise had to be effected to preserve endangered species. Indigenous trees, snakes, birds, animals were relocated, and for instance trees were replanted at a special nursery at the adjacent Matimba Power Station. In preserving the fauna onsite, the project put in place measures such as animal crossovers on the overland coal conveyor system to allow for the free movement.
The project which commenced in 2007 has invested approximately R2, 3 billion in infrastructure development in the Lephalale area and has seen the construction of 995 houses and buying of 321 houses, and building of a new pre-school, supply of medical equipment to the surrounding clinics, upgrading of the electricity infrastructure, construction of the Paarl sewerage treatment plant with R11.5 million spent on upgrading of the initial 2.2 km of the D1675 road leading to the site.
Eskom has continued to invest in the community and together with Exxaro they will spend more than R150 million in upgrading and repairing Nelson Mandela road as well as tarring Kuipersbult road.
The project has improved the lives of many in the region as 17 000 people have been employed at peak with 650 set to be employed permanently upon completion of the project.
The development with an estimated budget of R98, 9 billion excluding interest during construction but including escalation and transmission integration costs is set reach R125.5 billion to complete. The first of the six units of the plant are set for synchronisation by end of 2013 with each of the remaining five units to be synchronised at approximately eight month intervals.
Once complete the project will make use of the coal that will be delivered from Grootegeluk mine through an overland conveyor system to the Medupi coal stockyard. The conveyor as the sole supply line will supply 10 000 tons of coal.

Although most carpet components are recyclable or reusable, only about 4 percent of waste carpet gets reclaimed. The industry hopes to increase that number.
July 21, 2011, 12:26 p.m.
Open the hood of your car and you might be surprised to learn those automotive parts came from recycled carpet. Instead of padding a landfill, carpet also provided erosion control along the Gulf Coast following the BP oil slick.
Carpet has been recycled for nearly 20 years in the U.S. Still, it’s not as convenient as leaving a bin of recycled aluminum and paper at the curb or dropping it in a designated dumpster.
The heavy floor covering with its petroleum-based components must be transported to recycling facilities, specially designed for the purpose. It can be a pricey proposition, which is why recycling rates remain low.
“While most components that make up carpet are recyclable or reusable, only about 4 percent of waste carpet currently gets handled in these ways,” according to the Carpet America Recovery Effort (CARE), which oversees a major nationwide carpet diversion and recycling effort. It involves the carpet industry, government agencies and entrepreneurs.
CARE has seen a growing number of businesses handling post-consumer carpet over the past few years.
More than 100 carpet reclamation sites are listed on CARE’s website, www.carpetrecovery.org. The majority are in the Southeast — where the largest carpet manufacturers are located — and Texas and California.
In many areas of the country, especially rural ones, it’s still cheaper to ditch a carpet in a landfill than recycle it. But if you live in a large metro area, where landfill space is at a premium, it becomes cost-effective for businesses to recycle carpet, says Georgina Sikorski, CARE’s executive director.
Depending on the recycler, they may allow consumers to drop off their used carpet, Sikorski says. Recyclers, who set their own rates, may also have a preference for a certain type of carpet, she says.
Some only accept from commercial clients. Consumers should inquire at the sale whether their retailer or dealer has a take-back program to transport used carpets to a collector or processor, she says. The cost of recycling is generally built into the price tag, Sikorski adds.
CARE members have increased carpet diversion and recycling 10 percent each year, a trend Sikorski expects to continue. The majority of carpet collected for diversion is recycled. Some is burned as waste-to-energy.
Recycling involves identifying and grouping carpet by its component fiber, mostly nylon and plastic, she says. Next the carpet is run through either a shredding or shearing machine to separate the carpet layers. Further processing is required to mold plastic into other products, such as automobile parts. The fiber also can be reused, say for new carpet or carpet cushions, Sikorski explains.
Engineered resins make up more than half of the products produced last year by carpet recyclers associated with CARE, according to its 2010 annual report. One-third went into new carpet as either carpet fiber or backing, the report says.
Recycled content becomes more valuable when oil prices rise, affecting the price of virgin or new material, Sikorski says.
The carpet industry seems to realize that if it doesn’t voluntarily take responsibility for disposal of their products, government mandates might force them to. A few states are already taking the lead.
On July 1, California became first state requiring an extra fee of 5 cents a square yard for carpet sold or shipped into the state. Revenue from the after-tax line item will be used to raise awareness about recycling and reward entrepreneurs who recycle carpet and produce marketable products from it, CARE reports.
“I anticipate we’ll see an increase in California recycling,” Sikorski says. But she adds that it’s too early to tell.
Carpet manufacturers and researchers continue to look for ways to make carpet without petroleum-based materials. The challenge is to find materials that are going to perform as well as the original materials, she says.
In addition to CARE’s website, you can also find carpet recyclers near you at www.earth911.com.

Light and Sensor Technology, Demand Side Management.
Eskom's DSM programme offers greater financial support to businesses and municipalities.
A new, more aggressive Demand Side Management (DSM) programme from Eskom is directly financing viable DSM projects, ensuring improved energy efficiency and load shifting across South Africa. The revised Energy Efficiency DSM Policy, approved by the National Energy Regulator in May 2004, mandates that Eskom's DSM programme fully fund viable load management projects and contribute 50% towards viable energy efficiency projects. This new policy dramatically improves the financial payback for any business, municipality, or major consumer of electricity.
The strength of this new model is the ability of consumers to take advantage of the expertise of Energy Service Companies (ESCOs). This has greatly increased the capacity of the DSM programme to support efficiency and load shifting projects. The energy audit process begins with the completion of a simple questionnaire followed by a site audit by the ESCO. If feasible, a project outline proposal is submitted to Eskom. Based on a positive audit, a detailed project proposal is submitted to Eskom DSM, who evaluates it technically and financially. If deemed to be cost-effective, Eskom funds the ESCO to implement the project.
Eskom provides incentives to commercial users to move electricity load out of the peak periods. The aim in the commercial market is to provide a profitable investment opportunity to building owners by identifying areas where electricity usage can be optimized and better managed. This involves the implementation of an upgrade strategy that significantly saves electricity through the appropriate use and choice of energy-efficient lighting, ventilation and air conditioning systems and other related building efficiency measures. Optimal usage of these systems greatly reduces consumption during the full 24-hour period and reduces electricity accounts.
The Eskom load management activity in the industrial sector is focused on giving industrial consumers an incentive to shift load from peak periods to off-peak periods during the day. Industries would be able to manage their own load shifting activities without disrupting normal industrial process flow or imposing on their workers' environment. Load management can be investigated or considered in many instances.
production equipment and plant utilities that do not need to run all the time and can be scheduled to run off peak.

Juaso (Ash), Feb 1, GNA - A 23-year-old driver at Bompata whose dangerous driving nearly resulted in a fatal accident at Asankare on the Kumasi-Accra road, has been fined 600,000 cedis by the Juaso circuit court in the Asante-Akim South district.
Kofi Asante, who had earlier been remanded in custody for a week, pleaded guilty and will go to jail for six months in default. The court ordered Asante should sign a bond to be of good behaviour or go to jail for three months.
Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Jacob Anin told the court, presided over by Mr Jacob Boon, that on November 11, 2004, the accused was driving a bus from Konongo to Adomfe with passengers on board. He said on reaching a spot at Asankare Leadership Youth Training Centre, Asante forced his way to overtake vehicles ahead of him and in the process nearly collided with oncoming vehicles.
ASP Anin said the passengers, who had earlier warned the driver against the overtaking reported his conduct to the police.

A refreshed Sun Princess which underwent a $30 million makeover with more than a touch of the Orient, sailed into Sydney last week.
The ship was refurbished after it suffered a power failure and had to cancel its Singapore to Fremantle cruise back in August this year. Almost 2000 passengers, with the majority from Australia, were reimbursed including their flights home.
The refurbished Sun Princess now has a bright and airy atrium with a signature international café serving pastries, sandwiches and specialist coffee which has become a popular meeting place.
There is also a new 47-seater sushi restaurant Kai Sushi which replaced the former champagne bar.
The Lotus Spa has been refitted and refreshed including the installation of an “ofuru” bath tub made of cedar wood in one of its treatment rooms.
The 77,000-tonne Sun Princess is presently sailing on a series of round trips from Sydney to New Zealand, Queensland and the South Pacific before starting her second season of cruises from Japan in April next year.

Sarah Dusseault to leave her post as Chief of Staff to Councilmember Ryu at the end of September.
On Tuesday, CD4 Council Member David Ryu’s office announced the departure of Chief of Staff Sarah Dusseault, who has worked with the council member since his inauguration in July 2015. Dusseault, a long-time public servant for the City and County of Los Angeles, served under former Mayor James Hahn and then-Council President Eric Garcetti is leaving to spend more time with her family and pursue her volunteer committments at the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA,) where she was recently elected Vice Chair and is likely to serve as Chair, explained Ryu’s spokesperson Estevan Montemayor.
Dusseault will be greatly missed by the staff she helped put in place, according to Montemayor, who shared that sentiment with the Buzz, explaining that he owed Dusseault a great deal for giving him the opportunity to work in City Hall for Council Member Ryu.
In her time serving Councilmember Ryu and Council District Four, Dusseault not only built the staff in Councilmember Ryu’s office and effectuated his major policy goals, but also led the way on important initiatives, like the LGBT Center’s Anita May Rosenstein Campus, and Women’s Bridge Housing on North Gardner Street, both underway. Dusseault also oversaw significant improvements and expansions of Griffith Park, Runyon Canyon Park and Pan Pacific Park, and many other policy, planning and district-wide goals, such as campaign finance reform and neighborhood infrastructure improvements, according to Ryu’s statement.
“When I started just a week before Councilmember Ryu first assumed office, my goal was to build a strong, diverse and supportive team dedicated to the values David and I share – community engagement, transparency, and restoring trust in local government. Having achieved this and many other policy goals, it’s time for me to move forward and pass the torch to the outstanding team serving Council District Four,” Dusseault said in a press release.
“Thank you David for the opportunity and honor to serve the great people of Council District Four,” Dusseault added.
Dusseault will be leaving her position as Chief of Staff to Councilmember Ryu on September 28. Her replacement will be announced by the end of the week.

If you are there, avoid this bad boy. The Cheddar Bacon Double Burger will certainly not pick you up. It’ll instead load you up, with grease (126g of fat and 355mg of cholestrol), sodium (2380mg), and calories (1760Cal). This item will put you over the top for everything that’s bad for you. Stuff that’s good for you, like fiber, is very low at 4g! Definitely not going in the right direction.

And Harry's opinion on the whole thing couldn't be any cuter.
In just four months, Meghan Markle will wed Prince Harry in what will likely be the ~*event of the century*~. And E! News reports that Meghan has chosen a wedding dress designer! Hooray! The princess-to-be apparently got help from her friend, Canadian bridal stylist Jessica Mulroney, to help her with the process of picking the right gown.
"This was Meghan's first fitting with the designer and a chance for her and Jessica to look through a number of different designs," a source told E!.
The source continued: "Alongside dress planning, Jessica is guiding Meghan through a number of wedding day details, helping pull together ideas and resources from her impressive contacts book."
Apparently, only five people in the entire world know who the designer is, and it's a very top secret affair, because... I don't know? Drama?
"During the appointment, Meghan was able to narrow down what she liked and disliked," the insider said. "Some of their favorite design elements includes embroidery and sleeves."
We already know that Meghan's wedding style inspo is Carolyn Bessette Kennedy. In a recent interview, Meghan called Carolyn's gown, "Everything goals."
And in a March 2016 interview with Glamour, Meghan discussed her ideal wedding dress. She said the dress "is very pared down and relaxed. Classic and simple is the name of the game, perhaps with a modern twist. I personally prefer wedding dresses that are whimsical or subtly romantic. Delphine Manivet and Christos Costarellos are faves of mine for their uniqueness and beauty. And I will always be a fan of Ellie Saab. J. Mendel is spectacular as well, especially for more structural designs."
So there are your clues—enter your guesses, please!
Oh, and as for Harry's opinion on the whole thing? Well, he's giving the ladies a wide berth to do their thing.
Awww! He's already the perfect husband!

PINE'S PICK (6) First try at the trip here. Ran some good races at 520m here and in town and is capable of landing forward early, Leading chance. ALPHA ELENI (1) had its chance when placed here Mar 19. Likes box one. Can do well here. HOPE SAID (7) Beaten for early dash but worked home well Mar 19 here when close up in a blanket finish. Respect.
Seemingly had its chance when placed here Mar 19 in good display. Likes box one and one of the best chances.
Sparingly raced over the past few months. Not flash early but can appreciate this inner draw after a string of box fives. Not the roughest.
Rare go at this trip here. Beat home a weak lot at Capalaba Mar 17 and others appear better in this.
First try at the trip here. Jumps with the pack and rarely wins and not helped by this alley. One for the back of exotics.

The 3rd Generation Refugium features innovative design with dual water channel for an enhanced natural aquarium filtration.
The 3rd Generation Refugium features two separate water chambers, one for the refugium and one for skimmer chamber. This unique design enables the water travel through each compartment separately after entering the sump.
The advantage of having two separated water channels is the undissolved organic waste can be removed by a protein skimmer, while having a completely separated refugium compartment that allows macro-algae to uptake ammonia, nitrates, and other unwanted nutrients.
With Eshopps unique Channel Design (ECD, Patent Pending), you will have a natural filtration system which helps reduce problems concerning overgrown algae or cyanobacteria.
Dimensions: 30" x 14" x 16"

More than two years ago, the man who is now acting head of the Federal Aviation Administration, Dan Elwell, got a work email from one of his former lobbyist colleagues.
She wanted an update on the airline industry’s push to roll back rules on mishandled baggage and extra fees, among other Obama-era regulations.
Elwell, a former airline lobbyist himself who had worked with Pinkerton at Airlines for America, wrote back 31 minutes later.
Elwell’s designation as a special-government employee also allowed him to continue his private consulting business even as he worked for the government.
It’s unclear if Elwell did that. Virginia state records show his business was still incorporated through April of last year, but his financial disclosures don’t list any private income while he was in government.
Elwell was named the FAA’s deputy administrator in June 2017.
A month later, Pinkerton emailed Elwell, asking him to “weigh in on directly” on compliance issues contained in the FAA’s five-year funding bill.
Elwell began his career as a military pilot before spending 16 years flying for American Airlines.
After stints on Capitol Hill and at the FAA during the George W. Bush administration, Elwell worked for two industry groups, including at Airlines for America. He started his own firm, Elwell & Associates, in 2015.

Martin’s Haven Guest Lodge is highly rated for its beautifully maintained park-like gardens that create an atmosphere of relaxation and rejuvenation away from the city. Birdwatchers will find this a bird watching paradise, with many quiet places in the garden to sit and observe birds.
Martin’s Haven Guest Lodge, which is located in Schoemanskloof, is the ideal base from where to explore Mpumalanga’s prettiest and most interesting attractions, and to drive the popular Highlands Meander route which is home to fascinating history and spectacular scenery.
Schoemanskloof is the perfect nature-lovers destination to unwind, de-stress and relax in absolute tranquility and peacefulness. Schoemanskloof has a beautiful waterfall, known as the Montrose Falls, where the Crocodile River cascades 12m into a series of rock pools. It’s a wonderful sight to behold!
Buy up to 4 deals per customer and extend your stay.
Unlimited gifts, limited to 4 vouchers per gift recipient.
Surrounded by the stunning Drakensberg mountains and natural beauty, Martin’s Haven Guest Lodge is the ideal holiday destination among those who seek reprieve from their busy city lives.
Martin’s Haven Guest Lodge is located on the Montrose Pass in Schoemanskloof, on the Highlands Meander route. It’s perfect location allows guests to truly immerse themselves in all the beauty of the highveld by easily exploring neighbouring towns like Barberton, Nelspruit, White River, Pilgrim’s Rest and Hazyview - and not forgetting all the lovely small towns along the Highlands Meander!
The Highlands Meander is a treasure chest of gems waiting to be explored. It’s a region designed for both nature and adventure lovers, for history buffs and those seeking culturally-enriching experiences. Here, you’ll find space, tranquility and fresh air.
The Highlands Meander route is an approximately 4,5 hour drive through the towns of eMakhazeni (still known to many as Belfast), Dullstroom, eNtokozweni (formerly Machadodorp), Emgwenya (formerly Waterval Boven), Waterval Onder and Schoemanskloof. For the little more adventurous, take a detour to the town of Tonteldoos.
Dullstroom, commonly referred to as ‘Scotland's Only Outpost in Africa’ is arguably one of the most visited and well-known towns along the Highlands Meander route. The town’s success and boom in tourism can be directly linked to trout fishing. It was with the release of trout in 1916 and the further stocking of dams in 1927 that Dullstroom started making a name for itself as a premier fishing destination in South Africa, which consequently attracted fishermen and their families from across South Africa.
For those interested in history, Dullstroom was a town proclaimed by Paul Kruger in 1892 and referred to as the ‘Place of Eternal Mist’ by the first Dutch settlers. Dullstroom has played a significant role in South African history - it was the site of a battle between the Boers and Brits during the South African War. The town was almost completely destroyed.
Known to many as Belfast despite the change in name, this town located on the edge of the Drakensberg escarpment is an impressive 2000m above sea level, and is famed for being one of the coldest places in South Africa. Just like Dullstroom, Belfast is also popular as a trout-fishing destination and forms part of the Highlands Meander ‘Trout Triangle’. An interesting fact unknown to many South Africans is that Belfast is home to the world’s biggest grower and distributor of tulip bulbs, with over 6 million bulbs leaving the town each year. Belfast, or Emakhazeni as it is now known, is also where South Africa’s oldest blue gum plantation can be found.
Previously known as Waterval Boven, Emgwenya can be found at the top of the escarpment above the Elands River waterfall, as its original name suggests. The 75m Eland Falls is best appreciated from the viewing platform accessible from the Netherlands-South African Railway Company’s tunnel, just outside the town.
Established in 1895, Waterval Boven served as a supply town for the NZASM railway line that transported goods from Pretoria to Delagoa Bay in Mozambique. Due to the success of the railway, Waterval Boven grew into a flourishing town used for the refuelling and repair of locomotives. Unfortunately in the mid-60s, the locomotive industry slowed down and the town had to look to alternative sources for income. Today Emgwenya is one of the top climbing destinations in the country, with over 700 challenging routes suitable for novice and experienced climbers alike.
Waterval Boven/ Emgwenya is home to many National Monuments such as the sandstone 5-Arch Bridge and NZASM tunnel, leftovers from a bygone era. For some thought-provoking sightseeing, take a trip to the Stone Circle Museum and Bistro to witness possibly the oldest man-made monument known to mankind, Adam’s Calendar. Some believe that Adam’s Calendar is the proof needed to challenge both creationism and Darwinism in answer to the age-old debated question - where did we come from?
Machadodorp was named after the Portuguese Major Joachim Machado, a prominent engineer on the Pretoria to Delagoa Bay railway line. The town now bears a new name, eNtokozweni, which means ‘place of happiness’. Machadodorp is a postcard pretty town set on the Elands River enveloped in spectacular mountain scenery and tranquility - the perfect destination for those seeking some time outdoors, hiking or mountain climbing. Machadodorp has its own interesting history too. Scattered throughout the hills that surround the town are thousands of stone walls, buildings and terraces of the baKoni ruins.
Schoemanskloof highway is an unfairly underrated destination in Mpumalanga. It’s one of the country’s most spectacular routes that takes drivers along spectacular scenery - craggy gorges, cascading waterfalls, forests, rocky outcrops, and citrus, nut and avocado farms can be seen here. The change of scenery from Highveld to Lowveld is dramatic and wonderful, and is not to be missed by those who appreciate the beauty of nature.
In direct opposition to Waterval Boven located at the top of Eland Falls, Waterval Onder is located at the bottom. Unlike Waterval Boven, Waterval Onder never developed into a town and has retained its quaint village charm. Despite its small size, it is by no means unimportant historically. Waterval Onder was the last home of President Paul Kruger before his exile to the Netherlands. His home, Krugerhof, is now a museum and National Monument. The village is also home to one of South Africa’s biggest mysteries involving lost gold, resulting in one of the world’s greatest treasure hunts - “The Search for The Kruger Millions”.
The Pendle Hill Dairy (Dullstroom).
Now that you know all the exciting towns that you could possibly discover on a holiday to Mpumalanga, why not book yourself a night for yourself and your partner at Martin’s Haven Guest Lodge? It’s the ideal base from where to explore the province’s cultural, historical and natural heritage and attractions.

The Fed indicated it might slow down its interest rate hikes. Wall Street loves that kind of talk. The Dow surged 618 points after Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said the Fed wouldn’t risk cooling down the red-hot economy with aggressive interest rate hikes next year. Powell said rates remain relatively low and are just below what many economists consider “neutral for the economy — that is, neither speeding up nor slowing down growth.” Despite the cheery financial news, there are three lights blinking red about the economy that we need to pay attention to: borrowing, housing and unemployment.
Serial killers have been known to inflate the number of people they say they’ve killed, for the notoriety. Samuel Little, a 78-year-old imprisoned killer, has been telling the FBI similar things recently. But the FBI believes him. Little claims to have killed about 90 people between 1970 and 2005. If that’s accurate, Little would be the most prolific serial killer in US history. Investigators have already confirmed 34 killings — all over the country. They say Little targeted marginalized and vulnerable women who were often involved in prostitution or addicted to drugs and that he remembered great detail about the killings.
From 2016 to 2017, life expectancy in the US ticked down again. The leading causes, once again, are more deaths from drug overdoses and suicides. The estimate of how long a person born in 2017 can expect to live in the United States is 78.6 years, a decrease of 0.1 year from 2016, a trio of new government reports say. The troubling stats should be “a wake-up call” for the nation, says CDC Director Robert Redfield. Overdose deaths hit a new high last year, topping 70,000, while the suicide rate increased by 3.7%, the CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics reports.

A loading dock can be one of the harshest environments for flooring in a commercial or industrial facility. When you think about it, just about everything whether its raw materials or a large piece of equipment, it most likely passes through the loading dock. The constant flow of a goods is usually accompanied by an often around the clock flow of forklifts, dolly traffic, truck drivers and dock worker who load and unload the shipments. As if that weren’t enough, large bay doors that remain open can create thermal stress due to the temperature variance from inside to outside. Extremely cold environments regularly use salt or de-icing agents which get brought in onto the floor surface. Pallets can break, shipments can spill, and occasionally equipment can break and leak on the floor. There really isn’t a surface regularly subjected to more abuse.
The floors in these types of spaces are almost always constructed with concrete. It is cost effective and durable. The problem is concrete is not indestructible, and the factors mentioned above can often lead to surface spalls, pitting, cracks, and unevenness. If left unaddressed, this type of damage can lead to costly repairs on equipment, downtime, and can even result in injuries to workers and possible legal action.
While there are several factors to consider when choosing a floor system that will perform in a loading dock, local weather conditions might just be the most important. Understanding the temperature cycles that are present as well as the differential in humidity inside versus outside the building can insure the floor system can withstand the thermal stresses present over time as well as during the install process. Not understanding these conditions can result in a bonding failure at the point of install, or a bonding failure over time that has nothing to do with surface wear. Part of choosing the right floor system is considering surface moisture and slip-resistance. Extremely wet climates like Seattle will have constantly wet floors, which if not addressed properly will pose a risk of slips and falls. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the types of accidents account for 15 percent of all lost-time, with a disproportionately high number of these injuries occurring at the loading dock.
Another important factor to consider is the type of material that will regularly move through the space. It is a simple fact that no matter how careful workers are, accidents will happen resulting in broken containers, spills and leaks. The most common materials moving through the loading dock will make their way on the floor surface. If your facility deals in materials that are extremely acidic or alkali, or with other harsh chemicals, these can not only damage bare concrete over time, but can ruin a floor coating that isn’t suitable to deal with them. A floor coating designed with these in mind can make dealing with spills and leaks as simple as wiping them up.
The two most common types of floor systems used in loading docks are urethane cements and epoxy broadcast floors. Both are installed with an extremely hard aggregate that adds to the durability. Because urethane cements have a closer thermal coefficient to concrete, (they expand and contract at a closer rate as temperatures change) they handle thermal shock better, and are therefore the better choice for areas with high temperature swings. The downside is that they are quite a bit more expensive. Usually, loading docks are not high on the list for expensive upgrades, but when considering coatings where thermal shock is a concern, the higher initial investment will pay off in a surface the withstands the environment and performs well without the costly need for removal and replacement. If thermal shock isn’t a concern, epoxy broadcast floors are often an effective alternative. Epoxies can tenaciously bond to a properly prepared concrete substrate. When a broadcast aggregate is added, they offer a slip resistant surface that is abrasion resistant, and like urethane cements, requires little maintenance over time. Both systems can be colored for aesthetics, corporate branding, or to highlight traffic flow for safety.
Choosing the right flooring system for your loading dock can save you time, productivity, and worries for years to come. Contact us today for you free consultation.

My 1993 v6 seems to have a very strange missfire at low and high revs.
When i try to accelerate it sometimes pulls away ok but other times it coughs and splutters all over the place. Its a little tricky to drive especially pulling away from lights.
If you try and rev the engine past 5000 it seem to just die but not cut out.
I recently changed the Distributor because it broke.
I have tried changing the Spark plugs and ht leads but still the problem occurs.
Try checking the vacum system and the air intake, if that has a crack in it then the ecu will be getting invalid data!
sounds like a lead is dying!
was there any oil on the plugs?
you could try turning the distributor, perhaps when you put on it lost its timing-too far out for the ECU to compensate. Or it slipped since.
I have tried tunring the Dizzy but with no effect other than to degrade / improve performance. I have it set now to the best position.
I was thinking along the lines of a vacum leak somewhere..
One other thing that i have noticed is if you set the car in idle then floor it it just coughs and splutters alot where as if you gently press the throttle it doesnt do it so much.
I have tried the main vacum assembly form filter to inlet and it looks fine so not sure where else would caus ethe problem.
Would it be a big crack or could it be something really small?
Hmm there's quite a few lines, think you've checked them all?
I take it you can't hear any hissing anywhere?
No hissing noise on idle.
But i have noticed that if you blip the throttle a kind of sucking noise.
Wasnt sure if it was related.
Ill try and have another look tonight.
If i cant find it though would a diagnostic check pin point the problem?
Oh one other thing that i had thought about was if the coil was knackerd.
Would this cause similar symptons?
Hmm, interesting as the car does seem to run alot better when cold.
The reason i thought about it was because at high revs the engine just seemd to die / backoff which i immidiatley thought would be the coil breaking down.
and tured out to be the neg on the battery had worked loose??
Doesnt seem like the downpipe is blowing.
I can hear a kind of sucking when opening the throttle at idle which conicdes with the missfire at low revs.
If i put my ear over the engine it sounds like it is comming from the air intake gasget where the intake plenum connects to the body of the engine.
Just purchased gaskets from ford probe.
Hopefully that will fix my issues…..
missfire at low and high revs.
First I would have looked at Battery, Sparkplugs and Leads.
And if your getting a decent spark, we can rule out ignition problems.
Next I would ask about changing the dizzy, did you have this problem before you changed it? How soon after you changd it did the problem start?
Make sure you put all the leads back correctly!
Next I would be thinking is it a problem with fueling as it seems to occur when under load, so maybe you have a sensor out.
Will double check the spark plugs / leads but im pretty sure they are ok.
As for the dizzy change, no it was fine before i swapped it. After it was ok for ~6 weeks then faild on the way home from work.
All the leads are back ok, i made sure that i changed one at a time.
On the note of sensors. I did a dignostic check earlier and found that it was giving error code 12. TPS Sensor failure.
Would this give the symptons that i am having? Would the TPS Error be related to the IM Gasget sucking problem?
How would i check the VAF sensor?
Yes the TPS sensor is your problem.
It is the Throttle Position Sensor I'm guessing, and that tells the ECU what position your throttle butterfly is in so that it can alter the fueling when you accelerate.
It is attached to your throttle body, I'm not sure about the MX3 but on some cars its easy to change just the sensor, but on others just swap the whole lot. You can pick that stuff cheap from a scrappy and they will let you take it back if its faulty.

Complete the second sentence so that it has a similar meaning to the first sentence, using the word given. Do not change the word given. You must use between two and five words, including the word given.
d. She had to finish her homework before she went out. (until) She had to stay in ________________ her homework.
I'm having a hard time to grasp the two events rule on this one! "She had to stay in until she finished her homework." Sounds perfectly fine to me! Why do I end up with "She had to stay in until she HAD finished her homework."
The goal of such exercises is to foster precision in the choice of tenses. There are times, especially in writing, when there is a need for perfect clarity in respect to the sequence of events. Unfortunately, the examples chosen in the exercises often do not establish a context where precision is required in order to avoid ambiguity.
I can't party until I do my homework.
intending that sentence to mean "until I have done my homework", and that's exactly how another native speaker would understand it.
The speaker is explaining why he is unable to party now. He has something important to do first.
I can't party until I have done my homework.
I can't party until I've done my homework.
There, have done expresses completion.
I couldn't party until I had done my homework.
I couldn't party until I'd done my homework.
There, the would-be reveler is explaining why she was unable to party yesterday, perhaps, or last week, or at some other time in the past.
Again, the perfect (here, the past perfect) expresses completion.
Both "until she finished" and "until she had finished" are valid sentences. In context, they mean the same thing.
In general, "had [verb]ed" means that the action was completed at some specified time in the past. "I had seen Bob yesterday." This is usually used with respect to some other action. "I had seen Bob before he saw me."
A plain "[verb]ed" means simply, action completed in the past. "I saw Bob."
The difference is often very subtle. Usually we use "had" when we want to indicate that the action is completed, as opposed to an action that might be ongoing.

The difference between the Big Sky and Big Ten was never more evident than it was on Thursday. Montana came into the game playing about as well as you could play, having won 14 straight games and winning the Big Sky, but they ran into a Badgers buzzsaw in the first round.
Montana kept things interesting early, but Wisconsin began to pull away late in the first half, and continued after Montana came out a bit listless after the break. By the time things were over, Wisconsin was the winner, 73-49. They were simply the far superior team on this day, and showed it in every aspect of the game.
The thought was that Montana could make things very interesting if they could hold the Badgers in check from the outside, where they get a lot of their offense. However, that didn't happen, as Wisconsin made six of their first nine threes, and finished 10-19 from the field. Simply put, with their defense, they are tough for anyone to beat when they shoot the ball that well.
As mentioned, defensively Wisconsin was outstanding, using their signature man-to-man to shut down the Grizzlies. Montana made just 38% of their shots, and were just 3/9 from downtown. That they only got nine three-point attempts despite trailing most of the game is a testament to the Badgers, who excel in not allowing their opponents to get a lot of good looks from the outside.
In his final collegiate game, Art Steward was their star, with 18 points, as he kept them in it early. Their other senior starter, Derek Selvig also played well in the first half, keeping the Grizzlies within shooting distance. But it was Montana's offensive stars that never got going. Will Cherry was just 3/14, and picking up his second foul in the first half was killer. Kareem Jamar was 3/8 for six points, and Mathias Ward was 1/5 for five points. For a team without much depth, they couldn't have their stars struggle, but that is what happened.
The season ends in disappointment for Montana, but it was still a successful year. They won the outright conference championship for the first time in a long time, and showed by the end of the year that they were the class of the conference. They will finish with a record of 25-7, and have the pieces in place to be even better next year. They simply ran into a better team today.
But we will be hearing much more about Montana in the future.

WASHINGTON: More than �?1 million Americans are bracing for a harrowing, post-Christmas jolt as extended federal unemployment benefits come to a sudden halt today, entailing potentially significant implications for the recovering U.S. economy and setting up a tense battle when Congress reconvenes in the new year.
For families dependent on cash assistance, the end of the federal government�s �emergency unemployment compensation� will mean some difficult belt-tightening as enrollees lose their average monthly stipend of $1,166.
Jobless rates could drop, but analysts say the economy may suffer with less money for consumers to spend on everything from clothes to cars. Having let the �emergency� program expire as part of a budget deal, it�s unclear if Congress has the appetite to start it anew.
�When Congress comes back to work, their first order of business should be making this right,� President Obama said last week at his year-end news conference.
But Obama has no quick fix. He hailed this month�s two-year budget agreement as a breakthrough of bipartisan cooperation while his administration works with Democratic allies in the House and Senate to revive an extension of jobless benefits for those unemployed more than six months.
At the depth of the recession, laid-off workers could qualify for up to 99 weeks of benefits, including the initial 26 weeks provided by states. The most recent extension allowed a total of up to 73 weeks, depending on the state.

Mine used to be biting my nails - I did it for years, so much that they often bled! I have managed to grow my nails really long now and kick the habit YAY! - But unfortunately I still have a pick at the skin around my nails, so I'm currently trying to stop that.
