On decent an implosion crushed the deep sea sub “Titan” killing the five adventurers including the owner and falling to the ocean floor in five pieces, joining an international grave site 500 m away from the remains of the Titanic the mighty ship lost in the second decade of the 20th century approximately 500 km off the Newfoundland Coast.

Decent dangerous time.

The changing pressure of the decent gives stress in variation as the sub goes down. A catastrophic implosion resulted about an hour and a half into the dive. Giving certain death to all aboard on Sunday last.

Risk and safety awkward partners.

Those that can’t teach, or is that a legacy in waiting from failure?

Mark the day.

Today June 13th 2023 is international community association managers day.

So, you’re most likely to be affected by a community association manager if you live in a gated community with strata title and you have an association that regulates and

arranges for the maintenance and acquisition of the property that is accessed by all its members.

TGIF-One view, on farming…

Eight billion souls agree

Obviously the only way that Hunter gathering and local gardening would satisfy 8 billion stomachs is if they hunted each other. And I think it’s agreed we should quit doing that. However that leaves forestry and nature for no till growing, and the calmness and gentleness of your front garden for peace of mind and soul rest. We give that without reserve to all that attempt it.

June, July, August

have a great season.

Carbon farming

Methods of nature that preserve the under soil, also known as don’t till farming are being adapted now to go back to wild for climate and fauna sake. We hope all can work together.

Hydrogen worked with a lot of applications including, “Ballard fuel cells”

Ballard Fuel Cells paragraph AI-generated.

are an essential part of the technology that powers cleaner and more efficient vehicles. As a leader in fuel cell technology, Ballard has been at the forefront of the shift towards sustainable transportation.

The Trans Mountain Expansion project is a major step towards expanding Canada’s ability to transport oil to the rest of the world. While many have concerns about the environmental impact of such projects, it’s important to recognize the role that clean technologies like fuel cells can play in mitigating those impacts.

Hydrogen has worked with Ballard on a number of projects over the years, and we’re proud to continue that partnership as we support the development of cleaner, more sustainable transportation solutions.

Whether it’s through the use of fuel cell electric vehicles or other applications, we believe that hydrogen and fuel cells will continue to play a vital role in the transition towards a more sustainable energy future.

So as we look forward to the weekend and celebrate another successful week, let’s also take a moment to consider the important role that cleaner technologies like fuel cells can play in making our world a better and more sustainable place.

Hydrogen is a volatile gas, editor

The promos around hydrogen replacement are often centered on the fact that burning the element mate of water makes only clean water. The facts are hydrogen is a very volatile flammable gas. Way up there from propane and courser gases.

These bus vehicles rum on gasoline and never took advantage of either the hydrogen station above nor electric opportunities in the past few years. Yes the city is small however opportunities for research and development are a parent in a controlled environment.
