The Curiling club have finished the new roof and exterior finish on the facility. The new white roof included an application of insulation under the all white panels. Its “notacably cooler at the rink”. We also have an adaptation “we can use a stick to send a rock from the circle” this innovation has enabled some that “can not get down to through a rock to continue to play”

The upgrade on the decades old building was funded by levels of government including the regional one. Volunteers attended the 2 yrs of work to complete the project. So June 9 24 saw the last of the outside cladding installed leaving the solitary boom truck at rest at the back of the structure.

Curling clubs engagement before and after retirement.

  • To estimate the lifetime earnings of an individual entering the labor force, various factors need to be considered, such as education level, career path, and economic conditions.
  • Retirement income can be influenced by various factors, including savings, investments, retirement plans, and government benefits.

For a personalized analysis, a financial advisor or retirement planner can provide tailored projections and strategies based on individual circumstances

Volunteer

Belonging and contributing to infrastructure, can be a rewarding and growing in local communities as they grow.

Public facilities are public.

A sense of community is a value when dedicating public works. Often memorial is a sense of empowerment over a loss of control over some bad events that give relief to the sense of powerlessness. Match maker is a good term when engaging in projects.

Volunteering offers a range of benefits, both for the individuals volunteering and the community as a whole. Some of the key benefits of volunteering include:

  1. Personal Growth: Volunteering provides an opportunity for personal development, skill enhancement, and gaining new experiences.
  2. Community Impact: Volunteering allows individuals to make a positive impact on their local community, contributing to the well-being of others.

  6. Empowerment: Contributing to public works and community initiatives can provide a sense of empowerment and purpose.

In summary, volunteering offers a multitude of benefits, from personal growth and skill development to community impact and emotional well-being.

Physics and heat

Hot goes to cold

Thermal dynamics

Entropy plays a crucial role in thermodynamics, particularly in relation to the concept of heat transfer from hot to cold. In the context of thermal dynamics, entropy can be understood as a measure of the dispersal of energy within a system. It is often associated with the tendency of systems to move towards a state of greater disorder.

One of the most well-known principles related to entropy and thermal dynamics is the second law of thermodynamics, which states that in an isolated system, the entropy tends to increase over time. This means that as energy is transferred from hot to cold, the overall entropy of the system will tend to increase, resulting in a more disordered state.

In the specific context of heat transfer from hot to cold, the increase in entropy aligns with the overall trend towards greater disorder and equilibrium within the system. This principle is fundamental in understanding the behavior of energy and heat in various natural and engineered systems.

If you want to delve deeper into entropy and its relationship with thermal dynamics, I’d be happy to provide you with more detailed information or further resources.

Good Luck 🤞

Nasa to test the boeing starliner manned space capsule. June 1st 2024

The effectiveness of the Boeing Starliner capsule will be determined by the success of its test flights and its ability to safely transport astronauts to and from space. NASA’s rigorous testing and evaluation procedures will ultimately determine its effectiveness for manned space missions. Stay tuned for updates on its performance.

4000th post on The Proprietor review…

WE say, thankyou universe for your care and concern when giving our chance for a life. Also mention Robert Brosinsky, Herb Allen and Richard Thomas Griffiths, partners in Grizzley Rock Services contract work at the sites in the north east of BC decades ago. And all the Merritt People that had some work by that risk actuaited.

Four Months

So, no water will come from drought sources, however BC Hydro will transfer water from the Williston reserve to the site C near Hudson Hope BC, beginning “late this summer for a four month fill.” The depth will be 52 meters at the dam wall,at half way river. The rate will be up to three meters a day.

This exercise is not like the filling of the Three Gorges Dam in China that took an part of a second off the rotation of the earth, however the Non profit expects to produce 35 percent of the WAC Bennet dam in this new facility.

Non profit

BC hydro is a monopoly that can not retain earnings unless budgeted to a project. All efficiencies that are generated by law must be returned to its rate payers in lower rates. Therefore the organisation is mandated to explore opportunities to do just that. You can hold their feet to the fire as this efficiency comes to fruition.

There is an energy at work to get a classic car club running again in Merritt post flood/covid. Barry Jackson had a meeting with about 15 owners at the local A&W on May 15th,and posters for the first event were distributed.

Got time for recreation?

Participating in a recreational classic car club typically involves joining the club as a member. This may require filling out an application form and paying any associated membership fees. Once a member, you can participate in club meetings, events, and activities. Keep an eye out for announcements and communications from the club regarding upcoming gatherings or excursions. Additionally, you can contribute to the club’s activities by volunteering to help organize events, sharing your knowledge and expertise with other members, and showcasing your own classic car at club events. If the club has an online presence, such as a website or social media pages, you may also be able to stay updated on club news and connect with other enthusiasts. Joining a recreational classic car club can be a great way to meet fellow enthusiasts, share experiences, and enjoy the hobby to the fullest.

TGIF- La Nina & Water temperature

La Nina’s return could lead to specific weather patterns in Canada. Typically, this phenomenon brings colder and wetter conditions to western Canada, potentially leading to increased snowfall and cooler temperatures. Meanwhile, central and eastern Canada might experience milder and drier conditions. Keep in mind that these are general trends and specific weather events can vary.

Warm water off the top cool water to come…

The change in surface temperatures in the Pacific and Atlantic can bring storms and move warm surface water to the atmosphere and return it through precipitation. This may cause a cycle of cooler water surfacing and following the currents to bring more temperate whether to Canada. Ocean currents also have played roll in bringing exchange of water at temperature, it’s never exactly the same however watching and responding to ocean conditions can be productive.

Good luck
