Well,
it
is
REALLY
APRIL
~
April
Fool’s
day
is
/
was
April
1st.
This
slice
of
cheese
is
not
about
April
Fool’s
Day,
but
rather
about
a
very
serious
book
many
of
us
will
recall
reading
and
rereading:
Who
Moved
My
Cheese?
Who
Moved
My
Cheese?
Yes,
it
happens
to
each
of
us,
and
sometimes
more
often
than
not.
For
i
nstance;
the
economy
has
moved
our
cheese;
the
weather
has
moved
our
cheese;
health
has
moved
our
cheese;
and
I
could
go
on
and
on
-
but
I’d
quickly
run
out
of
paper
and
there,
my
cheese
would
be
moved
again!
How
does
the
WWDR
WWDR
Team
overcome
our
cheese
being
moved?
We
adjust,
keep
smiling,
and
change
things
up
a
bit
in
our
daily,
weekly,
monthly,
yearly
routines.
And
believe
it
or
not,
all
of
this
makes
for
a
better
life
and
world
for
all
of
us
here
and
probably
would
for
you
too.
So,
if
you
haven’t
read
the
book,
you
are
probably
thinking
“Ronnie
has
gone
and
done
it
~
she’s
gone
bonkers!”
Not
really.
Just
go
to
the
library
(if
that
hasn’t
been
moved
on
you),
or
buy
the
book.
Read
it
once,
and
I
guarantee
you,
you
will
wind
up
reading
it
again
and
again
because
it
does
really
make
sense
and
helps
us
all
adjust
our
lives
with
the
cheese
being
moved.
Hey.
I
almost
forgot
to
tell
you.
Check
out
this
month’s
centerfold.
Our
Cheese
Really
Has
Moved
and
Boy,
Are
We
Smiling!
We
Will
See
you
on
the
trail
in
Branson!

West
Little
Pleasures
by
Tim
Connor
Life
is
all
about
gratitude
for
the
little
things,
the
things
we
often
take
f
or
granted.
Oh
yes,
there
are
big
achievements,
big
plans,
big
toys,
big
stuff,
big
problems,
and
big
failures.
These
pass,
often
leaving
broken
or
challenged
spirits
or
hearts
in
their
wake.
It's
the
little
things
in
life
that
real-
ly
matter.
Life
accumulates
moment
by
moment,
day
by
day.
In
each
moment
in
our
life
there
is
the
potential
for
new
awareness,
new
growth,
miracles,
new
thoughts,
and
new
sights,
sounds,
and
tastes.
Each
of
these
often
comes
disguised
in
the
little
events
that
surround
us
daily.
A
smile
from
a
stranger,
a
sincere
hug
from
a
friend,
an
unexpected
call
that
says
“you
matter
and
I
care”,
a
rainbow,
a
double
rainbow
.
.
.
How
about
when:
4
All
the
traffic
lights
turn
green
as
you
pass
through
town.
4
The
rain
stops
just
as
you
leave
the
protection
of
your
car
(you
forgot
your
umbrella).
4
Your
plane
is
on
time.
4
You
find
something
important
you
thought
was
lost.
There
are
millions
of
other
little
pleasures
each
day,
if
only
we
would
take
the
time
to
notice.
A
dear
friend
shared
this
concept
of
little
pleasures
with
me.
I
wanted
to
pass
it
along
to
you,
thinking
it
might
do
for
you
what
it
did
for
me
-
keep
me
focused
on
what
matters
in
life,
and
not
what
doesn't.
Little
pleasures
are
all
of
those
unimportant
signals,
events,
situations,
signs,
people,
circumstances
that
make
you
smile.
The
way
it
works
is
this
~
find
something
positive
you
want
to
focus
on
today.
For
example,
today
you
will
notice
everyone
who
looks
at
you
while
sitting
in
your
car
waiting
for
the
light
to
turn
green.
When
they
return
your
glance,
you
will
give
them
a
warm,
broad
smile.
Today,
every
time
the
sun
passes
behind
a
cloud
you
will
think
of
how
much
in
life
you
are
grateful
for.
You
will
notice
the
kind
words
others
say
about
you
and
will
feel
warm
and
peaceful
inside.
Well,
I
have
given
you
the
philosophy
and
a
few
ideas.
Why
not
start
every
day
this
week
with
a
little
pleasure?
A
few
questions:
1)
Do
you
pay
attention
to
life's
little
pleasures?
2)
If
not,
why
not?
3)
How
would
you
define
little
pleasures?
4)
How
do
you
bring
little
pleasures
to
others
each
day?

Lights On ~
Nobody’s
Home
by Britt
Storkson
Owner,
P2FlowLLC
During the recent widespread
power outages in England, with some
of those affected illustrating the quintes-
sential British humor, joked: “Why don’t
they try turning it off and then back on
again?”
Sadly, given the current corporate
mentality of trying to computerize or
otherwise automate almost everything
whether it makes sense to or not, turn-
ing the system off and then back on
again would probably be the best solu-
tion. It would most likely be the solution
chosen by the system operators as a
result of not fully understanding the
dynamics of the system they are tasked
with operating. Resetting is tantamount
to releasing a habitual criminal back
into society to continually “re-offend”,
and doesn’t fix anything.
This turning off and then turning
back on again is what is called a “power
on” RESET. So what is a “RESET”? All
microprocessors (the silicon “brains”
operating all computer systems) have
what is called a “reset vector”. It means
the place chosen to start the program
execution.
This is critically important. If pro-
gram execution happens at the wrong
place, it will produce the wrong results
every time, and those results could be
catastrophic. To address this issue, all
microprocessor manufacturers have
spent considerable time and money
making sure the program execution starts
at the reset vector location. This opera-
tion is called “fetching the reset vector”.
Most of the time this fetching the
reset vector is accomplished by simply
turning on power to the computer. The
microprocessor automatically goes to
the proper location on power up and the
program instructions start executing
from there. In addition, immediately
after the reset vector operation, almost
always there are what are called initial-
ization routines.
Initialization involves writing the cor-
rect values to the appropriate memory
registers to ensure proper operation

Autonomous
Haulage
Fleet
to
Gold
Mining
Industry
Newmont
Corporation
announced
unanimous
approval
for
investment
in
an
Autonomous
Haulage
System
(AHS)
at
its
Boddington
mine
in
Western
Australia,
to
enhance
safety
and
productivity
while
extending
mine
life.
Boddington’s
autonomous
Caterpillar
haul
trucks
will
feature
rigorous
safety
controls
to
reduce
employee
exposure
to
potential
vehicle
interactions.
Newmont
is
also
executing
a
robust
people
strategy
at
the
mine
to
provide
opportunities
for
reskilling
and
redeployment
of
haul
truck
drivers
to
other
roles
supporting
the
AHS.
“Not
only
does
Boddington
continue
to
deliver
strong
performance,
our
in-
vestment
in
autonomous
haul
trucks
will
generate
an
internal
rate
of
return
greater
than
35%
with
a
more
controlled
and
efficient
haulage
operation,”
said
Tom
Palmer,
president
and
CEO.
“We
are
also
uniquely
positioned
in
the
gold
sector
to
support
effective
implementation
and
operation
of
the
fleet
thanks
to
the
technical
capabilities
and
previous
experience
of
leaders
in
our
business.
Simply
put,
Boddington
will
be
a
safer,
more
productive
world-class
gold
mine
in
a
top-tier
jurisdiction.”
Boddington
is
Western
Australia’s
largest
gold
producer
and
directly
employs
about
2000
people.
Once
fully
operational
in
2021,
it
will
be
the
world’s
first
open-pit
gold
mine
with
an
AHS.

Drilling
Into
Money
Not
Boring
by
Mark
E.
Battersby
Trade,
Sell,
and
Maybe
Abandon
with
a
Low
Tax
Bill
It
is
no
surprise
many
drilling
professionals
don’t
understand
the
tax
ramifications
of
disposing
of
busi-
ness
property.
Under
our
often
confusing
and
complex
current
rules,
there
are
numerous
ways
to
dispose
of
business
assets
-
such
as
selling,
scrapping,
exchanging
it
for
another
business
asset,
or
even
giving
it
away.
Even
with
a
simple
sale,
the
tax
treatment
can
be
quite
complex
with
a
number
of
rules
affecting
the
outcome
of
any
transaction
-
including
how
losses
are
viewed
by
the
Internal
Revenue
Service
(IRS)
and
how
a
portion
of
the
sale
may
have
to
be
“recaptured”
if
the
sale
involves
property
depreciated
in
the
past.
A
drilling
operation
can
generally
sell
its
unused
or
unneeded
equipment,
machinery,
and
other
business
assets
on
the
in-
stallment
method.
Selling
with
payments
to
be
received
in
installments
means
taxable
income
is
created
only
as
payments
are
received.
New,
more
restrictive
rules
mean
a
drilling
operation
can
no
longer
treat
trade-ins
as
nontaxable
events.
Instead,
when
the
old
asset
is
traded
for
a
new
one,
tax
must
be
paid
on
the
gain,
if
any.
So,
yes,
it
applies
when
a
vehicle
is
traded-in.
Remember,
all
business
assets
-
including
vehicles
-
are
depreciated.
It
is
the
difference
between
the
value
shown
on
the
operation's
books
and
the
amount
realized
or
given
credit
for
that
is
used
in
the
gain
or
loss
computation.
With
the
standard
vehicle
write-off,
depreciation
is
implied
-
although
not
usually
shown.
And,
before
you
ask,
when
you
take
advantage
of
the
100%
bonus
depreciation
or
the
Section
179
expense
allowance,
it
brings
the
book
value
down
to
zero,
creating
a
gain
if
any-
thing
is
realized
when
replaced
with
a
new,
more
valuable
asset.
It
wasn’t
too
long
ago,
before
the
passage
of
the
Tax
Cuts
and
Jobs
Act
(TCJA),
a
business
would
exchange
so-called
“like-kind”
property
and
defer
taxable
gain
until
the
property
was
ultimately
sold.
However,
beginning
with
exchanges
after
the
December
31,
2017,
passage
of
the
TCJA,
deferring
recognition
of
gain
using
a
like-kind
exchange
will
only
work
with
real
estate.
Real
estate
includes
land
and
generally
anything
built
on
or
attached
to
it.
Abandonment
losses
from
business
or
investment
property
are
generally
deductible
as
ordinary
losses.
Of
course,
aban-
donment
of
property
held
for
personal
use
is
nondeductible.
An
involuntary
conversion
is
an
event
not
initiated
by
the
drilling
business,
but
refers
to
the
conversion
of
the
operation’s
property
into
similar
or
dissimilar
property
due
to
condemnation
(actual
or
threatened),
theft,
seizure,
requisition
usually
insti-
gated
by
a
government
unit,
or
destruction.
An
involuntary
conversion
does
not
include
any
voluntary
acts,
such
as
when
the
business
destroys
its
own
property.
Depreciation
recapture
means
the
IRS
can
require
a
business
to
“pay
back”
amounts
claimed
as
bonus
depreciation
or
other
fast
write-offs.
Under
our
tax
rules,
a
disposition
occurs
when
a
business
sells,
exchanges,
retires,
abandons,
suffers
an
involuntary
conversion,
or
destroys.
Each
has
tax
consequences
and,
thanks
to
the
complexity
of
the
tax
rules,
professional
guidance
may
be
necessary
to
reap
the
most
benefit
and
smallest
tax
bill.

Gas
and
Oil
Industry
Brings
Texas
to
the
Top
Adapted
from
Information
by
the
Texas
Oil
& Gas
Association
According
to
the
latest
energy
and
economic
impact
report
by
the
Texas
Oil
&
Gas
Association
(TXOGA),
the
gas
and
oil
industry
paid
more
than
$16
billion
in
state
and
local
taxes
and
state
royalties
in
2019,
the
highest
total
in
Texas
history.
The
state
continues
to
lead
the
way
not
only
in
oil
and
natural
gas
production,
but
also
in
pipelines,
refining,
liquid
natural
gas
(LNG),
and
exports.
In
many
ways,
2019
was
a
year
of
exceptional
production
for
the
U.S.
gas
and
oil
industry.
Thanks
to
Texas,
the
country
witnessed
record-breaking
production
while
becoming
a
net
oil
exporter
the
first
full
month
recorded
in
the
country.
The
state’s
unprecedented
growth
in
production,
pipeline
construction,
refining,
and
LNG
expansions
has
also
translated
to
record-breaking
revenue
for
the
state.
In
fact,
the
Texas
gas
and
oil
industry
shattered
records,
paying
an
estimated
$16.28
billion
to
state
and
local
treasuries,
an
increase
of
16%
from
2018.
This
translates
to
about
$44
million
a
day.
Since
2007,
when
TXOGA
first
started
compiling
the
data,
the
industry
has
paid
more
than
$149
billion
in
state
and
local
taxes
and
state
royalties.
Oil
and
natural
gas
royalties
to
state
funds
-
particularly
the
Permanent
University
Fund
(PUF)
and
Permanent
School
Fund
(PSF),
which
support
Texas
public
education
-
also
broke
records
in
fiscal
year
2019.
In
fact,
98%
of
the
state’s
oil
and
natural
gas
royalties
were
deposited
into
these
funds
with
the
PUF
receiving
$1.02
billion
and
the
PSF
receiving
$1.11
billion.
The
gas
and
oil
industry
also
provides
good
paying
jobs
for
the
people
of
Texas.
On
average,
Texas
gas
and
oil
employers
paid
$125,248
per
job
in
2019,
while
other
private
sector
jobs
paid
less
than
half
that
with
an
average
of
$56,902.
With
billions
of
dollars
invested,
hundreds
of
thousands
of
employees,
and
$16
billion
in
taxes
and
royalties
paid
last
year
alone,
the
gas
and
oil
industry
continues
to
be
the
heartbeat
of
the
Texas
economy.

Radiant
Buildings,
Renewable
Resources
by
Nancy
Argyle
for
Sonic
Drill
Corporation
In
Vancouver,
British
Columbia
(BC),
Canada,
rated
the
third
best
city
in
the
world
in
2019
by
Mercer
Consulting,
one
thing
is
very
clear
-
geothermal
has
a
lot
of
fans.
With
a
population
of
more
than
two
million
people
in
the
Greater
Vancouver
area
enjoying
one
of
the
highest
ratings
for
quality
of
life,
many
are
also
choosing
geothermal
systems
for
residential,
municipal
and
commercial
builds.
Considering
the
numerous
benefits,
it’s
not
sur-
prising
to
see
large
construction
projects
embracing
geothermal
but
it’s
especially
gratifying
to
see
how
many
individual
residential
projects
have
also
opted
in.
Since
geothermal
installations
work
by
moving
heat
instead
of
cre-
ating
heat,
there
are
many
environmental
benefits
including
a
reduced
carbon
footprint
as
well
as
the
use
of
a
sustainable
renewable
resource
that
already
exists
in
the
ground
beneath
homes
and
buildings
-
a
win-
win
for
everyone.
“Due
to
increasing
awareness
of
global
warming
issues,
eventually,
I
expect
geothermal
to
become
the
gold
standard
for
new
homes,”
said
Ray
Roussy,
president
of
Sonic
Drilling
Ltd.
in
Surrey,
BC,
Canada.
Roussy,
an
engineer,
is
the
developer
and
patent
holder
of
modern
sonic
drilling
technology
which
is
now
in
use
across
six
conti-
nents
and
in
various
applications.
His
drilling
method
has
won
four
awards
for
best
technology
and
he
has
subsequently
patented
the
use
of
sonic
drilling
specifically
for
geothermal
installations.
Meet
the
Fastest
Drill
on
the
Planet
-
With
the
ability
to
drill
through
mixed
soils
at
a
rate
of
3-5
times
faster
than
traditional
methods,
Roussy’s
sonic
drills
are
already
the
speediest
on
the
planet
but
they
come
with
an
additional
advantage
that
makes
them
ideal
for
geothermal
installations,
both
big
and
small.
In
a
patented
one-step
operation,
sonic
drills
are
able
to
drill
the
hole,
case
it,
install
the
geothermal
loop
and
then
fill
the
hole
with
grout
-
something
that
no
other
technology
in
the
world
can
do.
With
a
clear
savings
from
reduced
on-site
project
time,
sonic
drills
have
quickly
become
the
preferred
drilling
method
for
geo-
thermal
installations.
Vancouver
Airport
Catches
Geothermal
Fever
-
In
an
attempt
to
significantly
reduce
greenhouse
gases,
the
Vancouver
Airport
Authority
recently
embarked
on
an
ambitious
$360
million
geothermal
project
to
construct
a
new
Central
Utilities
Building
which
will
house
all
the
necessary
equipment
to
heat
and
cool
the
airport.
The
airport’s
new
geo-exchange
system
will
initially
use
approximately
1100
geothermal
holes,
drilled
400-500
feet
belowground,
with
additional
holes
planned
for
future
projects.
Considering
the
airport’s
soil
condi-
tions,
which
can
be
challenging
for
tra-
ditional
drilling
methods,
the
Vancouver
Airport
Authority
opted
to
use
Roussy’s
sonic
drilling
technology
-
given
that
it
is
able
to
drill
easily
and
quickly
as
well
as
provide
one-step
geothermal
loop
installation.
With
his
BC-developed
sonic
drilling
technology
now
35
years
old,
Roussy
said
he
is
delighted
to
see
it
at
work
on
so
many
local
projects,
know-
ing
the
benefits
it
brings
and
the
role
it
plays
in
furthering
a
clean
energy
future.

Through
the
Back
Door!
by
Jim
Kuebelbeck
For
a
number
of
years,
I
have
submitted
articles
for
publication,
and
have
been
graciously
allowed
to
share
many
stories
not
only
of
my
experiences
as
a
water
dowser,
but
other
stories
of
some
of
my
life
expe-
riences.
Perhaps
I
have
bored
WWDR
WWDR
readers
with
some
of
my
articles
regarding
what
I
consider
to
be
a
true
human
ability
(in
certain
individuals)
to
somehow
sense
the
presence
of
satisfactory
groundwater
sources
by
the
dowsing
method.
It
was
never
my
intent
to
push
my
views
or
opinions
upon
anyone,
but
to
simply
relate
what
I
have
discovered
about
my
personal
experience.
In
this
regard,
I
cannot
fault
well
drilling
professionals
who
are
less
than
willing
to
put
their
own
reputations
on
the
line
by
working
with
many
of
the
self-professed
water
dowsers
who
have
little
or
no
proven
ability
in
this
area
of
human
endeavor.
In
all
too
many
cases,
many
would-be
inexperienced
water
dowsers
eagerly
offer
advice
about
the
presence
of
underground
water
sources
only
to
discover
later
that
their
predictions
had
no
basis
in
fact.
It
is
far
from
the
truth
that
because
an
individual
is
able
to
obtain
a
dows-
ing
response
from
some
type
of
device
or
instrument,
that
what
they
are
sensing
is
the
presence
of
an
underground
water
source!
We,
as
individuals,
are
all
born
with
unique
God-given
talents
and
abilities,
and
it
is
up
to
us
as
individuals
to
discover
and
develop
whatever
abilities
we
might
have
been
endowed
with.
Sadly,
some
people
go
through
life
without
discovering,
or
attempt-
ing
to
discover
or
develop,
whatever
latent
talents
or
abilities
they
might
possess.
The
late
Grandma
Moses
(of
artistic
fame)
for
example,
and
countless
others
like
her
around
the
world,
have
often
discovered
late
in
life
what
particular
abilities
have
lay
dormant
and
can
be
developed.
Grandma
Moses
(Anna
Mary
Robertson)
only
started
paint-
ing
in
earnest
at
the
age
of
78,
and
is
often
cited
as
an
example
of
an
individual
who
successfully
began
a
career
in
the
arts
at
an
advanced
age.
When
asked
about
her
sud-
den
fame
and
success
as
a
painter,
she
was
quoted
as
saying,
“If
I
hadn't
started
paint-
ing,
I'd
probably
have
raised
chickens.”
Oh
how
I
wish
many
of
the
self-pro-
claimed,
inexperienced
water
dowsers
over
the
years
had
raised
chickens,
instead
of
going
out
and
offering
misguided
predic-
tions
about
the
presence
of
underground
water
sources!
Such
is
life.

SERVING THE WATER WELL INDUSTRY
Serving the Drilling Industry
upon
start-up.
For
example,
if
you
want
a
computer-controlled
device
to
be
“off”
when
you
power
it
up,
you
must
tell
it
to
do
so.
Often,
this
is
done
within
the
initialization
routine.
Since
most
static
RAM*
data
contents
are
unknown
upon
start-up,
if
this
is
not
done,
the
RAM
data
values
controlling
the
on-off
function
could
have
it
power
up
either
on
or
off,
and
whether
it
powered
up
on
or
off
would
be
totally
unpredictable.
A
reset
vector
operation
can
be
executed
at
other
times
besides
power-up
as
well.
Most
well-designed
computer
systems
h
ave
hardware**
and
software***
used
for
detecting
abnormal
program
operation.
If
that
happens,
the
reset
vector
is
triggered,
which
forces
the
computer
program
to
start
over
and
almost
always
corrects
the
corrupted
data
so
the
program
can
operate
cor-
rectly.
Most
of
the
time,
this
is
not
transparent
to
the
user
.
.
.
meaning
the
user
is
unaware
this
is
happening
and
can
use
the
computer
as
he
or
she
normally
would.
All
microprocessors
have
an
external
RESET
pin
so
a
hardware
reset
can
be
asserted
using
an
external
mechanical
switch
or
other
component.
The
problem
with
this
approach
is
everything
the
microprocessor
is
doing
instantly
stops.
I’ve
worked
in
the
technology
industry,
and
one
would
not
believe
how
many
times
incredibly
expensive
computer
systems
had
to
be
reset.
All
or
part
of
the
system
would
be
“locked
up”
and
refused
to
work
until
it
was
reset.
Any
reset
that
requires
operator
intervention,
in
my
opinion,
constitutes
an
unac-
ceptable
failure
and
should
be
grounds
for
rejection
and
replacement
of
the
equip-
ment.
We
have
been
building
computers
long
enough
to
know
how
to
make
sure
they
operate
correctly
without
humans
having
to
clean
up
their
messes.
We
use
many
microprocessor-based
products
every
day
that
never
need
to
be
RESET.
It’s
because
most
customers
would
not
accept
a
product
that
needs
to
be
RESET
periodically.
It
has
even
been
reported
that
pilots
have
needed
to
RESET
autopilot
computer
in-flight
-
not
a
comforting
thought
for
those
whose
lives
depend
on
the
computer
to
get
them
to
their
destination
in
one
piece.
That’s
why
I
advocate
the
pilots
fly
the
plane
and
the
computer
serve
to
make
the
pilots
better,
but
that’s
a
conversation
for
another
time.
Of
course,
there
will
be
rare
exceptions
where
failures
are
not
the
fault
of
the
equipment,
but
those
will
be
excep-
tions
and
not
the
rule
as
is
now
the
case.
The
bottom
line
is,
we
build
the
equipment
to
operate
as
reliably
as
humanly
possible.
Anything
less
should
be
rejected
out-of-hand.
*RAM
stands

which
is

-
meaning
when

Drilling
Progress
in
Saskatchewan
Adapted
from Information
by
DEEP Earth
Energy
Production
Corp.
DEEP
Earth
Energy
Production
Corp.’s
drilling
and
testing
program
is
under-
way.
They
plan
to
drill
up
to
five
stratigraphic
wells,
to
further
define
the
field’s
geo-
thermal
reservoir
parameters
for
the
proposed
power
plant
in
Southeastern
Saskatchewan,
Canada.
In
August
2019,
DEEP
completed
a
flow
and
pressure
buildup
test
on
the
Border-01
well
to
assess
reservoir
pressure
and
well
deliverability.
Pressure
data
affirmed
the
existence
of
fracture
flow
contributions
sought
after
for
geothermal
projects,
and
the
stimulated
maximum
production
rate
for
this
well
supported
the
potential
for
an
economically
viable
project.
Following
the
flow
and
buildup
test,
a
series
of
injectivity
and
fall-off
tests
were
conducted,
which
further
affirmed
a
significant
portion
of
the
fluid
contribution
pro-
duced
from
Border-01
is
sourced
form
a
fractured
reservoir
system.
After
the
tests
were
complete,
the
remaining
brine
in
the
tank
farm
was
disposed
into
the
well,
which
accepted
the
fluids
at
high
rates,
limited
only
to
the
capacity
of
the
injection
pump.
This
confirmed
the
reservoir’s
capability
to
flow
in
both
directions
-
to
produce,
as
well
as
accept,
injected
fluids.
The
first
of
the
new
wells
(Border-02A)
was
completed
in
December
2019.
It
was
drilled
from
the
same
sur-
face
location
as
Border-01,
directionally
to
the
southwest,
to
a
depth
of
12,500
feet,
with
a
bottom
hole
located
4900
feet
from
Border-01.
Border-02B
well
was
drilled
to
12,700
feet,
and
11,900
feet
true
vertical
depth
from
the
surface.
It
was
drilled
from
the
same
wellbore
as
Border-02A
as
a
whipstock,
enabling
more
data
to
be
acquired
between
it
and
Border-01,
at
a
reduced
cost
compared
to
drilling
a
separate
well
from
the
surface.
Border-02B
exceeded
the
record
depth
of
Border-01
by
an
additional
330
feet
true
vertical
depth,
making
it
the
deepest
well
ever
drilled
in
Saskatchewan.
Border-03,
-04,
and
-05
wells
will
be
drilled
with
two
separate
rigs
to
com-
plete
the
program
in
less
time.
This
multiwell
drilling
program
will
greatly
increase
the
confidence
in
the
geological
model,
regional
airborne
magnetic
data
geological
interpretation,
and
test
recently
acquired
3-D
seismic
data.
It
will
achieve
flow
and
injection
testing
to
optimize
the
locations
and
design
of
full-sized
production
wells
planned
to
be
drilled
later
in
2020
and
2021.
These
current
wells
will
also
have
significant
value
for
monitoring
the
reservoir
response
during
and
after
large-scale
development
required
for
a
full
geothermal
field
and
power
plant.

Questions
about
Explosives
Regulations
Adapted
from
Information
by
the
U.S.
Bureau
of
Alcohol,
Tobacco,
Firearms
and
Explosives
When
the
U.S.
Bureau
of
Alcohol,
Tobacco,
Firearms
and
Explosives
(ATF)
receives
questions
about
regulations,
they
frequently
share
those
questions
and
answers
with
the
industry. Communicating
this
information
may
provide
others
with
a
better
understanding
of
the
rules
and
regulations
surrounding
commercial
explosives.
Am
I
required
to
report
a
change
in
magazines
to
the
local
fire
safety
authority?
Answer
:
The
regulation
at
27
CFR
§
555.201(f)
requires
any
person
who
stores
explosive
materials
to
notify
the
authority
having
jurisdiction
for
fire
safety
in
the
locality
where
the
materials
are
being
stored. The
type
of
explosives,
magazine
capacity,
and
location
of
each
storage
site
must
be
disclosed.
If
you
make
a
change
affecting
the
location,
type
of
storage,
(e.g.
from
low
explosives
to
high
explosives),
or
the
storage
capacity
(e.g.
adding
additional
magazines
or
changing
to
a
larger
magazine
to
accommodate
larger
quantities
of
explosives),
then
the
change
should
be
reported
to
the
authority
having
jurisdiction
for
fire
safety
as
required
under
§
555.201(f).
This
notification
must
be
made
orally
before
the
end
of
the
day
when
new
storage
commenced,
and
in
writing
within
48
hours.
I
am
a
responsible
person
on
my
company’s
license
and
recently
changed
my
name.
Am
I
required
to
report
this
to
ATF?
Answer
:
Yes,
under
27
CFR
§
555.57(b),
Federal
explosives
licensees
and
permittees
must
report
any
change
in
respon-
sible
persons
or
employees
authorized
to
possess
explosive
materials
to
the
Chief
of
the
Federal
Explosives
Licensing
Center
(FELC),
including
name
changes.
This
must
be
reported
within
30
days
of
the
change.
You
may
submit
your
current
clearance
and
name
change
information
via
letter
to
the
FELC.
Although
not
required,
it
is
recommended
the
licensee
or
permittee
submit
the
current
letter
of
clearance
for
amendment
with
the
letter
requesting
change.
This
will
help
to
update
your
records
properly
and
help
avoid
multiple
entries
for
the
same
person.
If
I
am
returning
product
because
it
is
either
defective
or
the
incorrect
product,
do
I
have
to
record
the
return
in
any
of
my
records?
Answer
:
You
must
treat
your
return
as
a
transfer
with
full
disposition
records
as
required
under
27
CFR
Part
555,
Subpart
F
-
Conduct
of
Business
(see
§§
555.103
and
555.105)
and
Subpart
G
-
Records
and
Reports
(see
§§
555.123
through
555.126).
If
the
materials
were
previously
entered
into
your
DSMT
(daily
summary
of
magazine
transactions),
you
should
also
make
the
appropriate
changes
to
the
DSMT
record
accordingly.

N
arcissists
Prefer
Dogs
~
Codependents
Cats
Narcissists
prefer
dogs.
Think
about
it;
it
just
makes
sense!
Many
narcissists
like
to
be
the
center
of
attention.
A
dog
will
always
make
the
master
its
primary
focus.
When
the
master
is
on
the
move,
the
dog
follows.
When
the
master
sits,
the
dog
lies
down
nearby
and
keeps
a
steady
eye
on
him
or
her.
When
the
master
gets
up,
the
dog
follows
again,
eagerly
awaiting
a
command
or
other
recognition.
A
cat,
on
the
other
hand,
isn’t
focused
on
the
master
at
all
.
.
.
well,
unless
it's
h
ungry.
If
the
master
wants
attention
from
the
cat,
he
or
she
must
give
treats,
brush
its
fur,
get
out
the
laser
pointer
and
play
(technically
this
doesn’t
create
heedfulness
of
the
master),
or
otherwise
cajole
the
cat’s
attention.
In
other
words,
you
must
serve
the
cat.
It’s
the
perfect
role
for
codependents
because
they
understand
doing
this
so
well.
No,
I
haven’t
done
any
formal
study
on
this,
but
as
a
narcissist-magnet
for
much
of
my
life,
it
has
been
my
personal
observation
of
the
many
narcissists
who
have
come
through
my
life
over
the
years.
As
an
admitted
codependent,
I
am
a
natural
cat
lover,
who
has
served
many
a
mysterious
and
aloof
cat.
Narcissists
are
control
freaks,
and
dogs
are
easily
trained
to
do
what
their
master
commands.
Tasks
make
the
dog,
who
always
wants
to
please,
feel
useful.
Dogs
will
come
when
you
call.
On
your
command,
they
will
sit,
lie
down,
shake
hands,
rollover,
fetch,
walk
on
their
hind
legs,
and
many
more
entertaining
activities
that
thrill
the
nar-
cissist’s
need
to
dominate
and
control.
Cats
can’t
be
controlled
at
all.
They
certainly
don’t
come
when
you
call
(unless
they
hear
a
can
of
food
opening
at
the
same
time).
While
somewhat
domesticated
(they
do
enjoy
living
in
houses
which
have
plenty
of
soft
things
to
lie
on),
cats
still
retain
an
independent
wild
streak.
They
don’t
need
humans.
Turn
them
loose
outside,
and
they’ll
kill
their
own
food:
birds,
rodents,
snakes,
and
bugs.
If
they
like
you,
they
might
even
bring
home
some
of
their
fresh
kill
so
you
can
partake
in
the
feasting
as
well
(this
represents
the
apex
of
giving
from
a
cat).
Now
that’s
the
kind
of
approval
a
codependent
can
really
sink
his
or
her
teeth
into.
Dogs,
however,
can’t
fend
for
themselves
out
in
the
world
on
their
own.
They
don’t
know
how
to
find
food,
other
than
raiding
garbage
cans,
and
will
soon
starve
to
death.
They
are
completely
dependent
on
their
masters.
Narcissists
love
this.
Codependents
and
dogs
just
don’t
work
as
well
together
because
they
are
both
constantly
competing
to
see
who
can
give
the
most
love
to
the
other.
Codependents,
who
never
received
parental
love,
who
had
to
give
and
give
and
give
in
the
hopes
of
getting
a
scrap
of
affection,
find
the
unrelenting
love
of
dogs
disconcerting.
Cats,
however,
provide
the
familiar
emotionally
unavailable
attitude
to
which
they
are
accustomed.
Codependents
are
used
to
a
lack
of
love,
of
having
to
patiently
wait
for
attention,
and
spending
their
lives
hoping,
praying,
and
trying
ever
harder
to
please
.
.
.
until
they
can
finally
get
their
cat
to
sit
in
their
lap,
cuddle,
and
purr.
Dogs
can
never
supply
this
same
sense
of
satisfaction.
Dogs
love
their
masters
unconditionally
-
so
unconditionally
they
will
endure
abuse
and
neglect
yet
still
love
and
adore
their
master.
This
is
perfect
for
the
self-
centered
narcissist,
whose
needs
must
come
first,
who
is
sometimes
simply
too
busy
to
play
with
the
dog,
feed,
walk,
or
take
it
to
the
vet.
A
dog
patiently
waits,
doesn’t
judge
or
complain,
and
is
ready
to
serve
its
master
at
a
moment’s
notice.
What
human
would
do
that?
A
dog
is
a
readily
available,
low-cost,
low-obligation,
source
of
narcissistic
supply.
And,
when
dogs
no
longer
serve
the
narcissist's
needs
-
they’re
disposable
-
no
messy
breakups.
No
wonder
narcissists
prefer
dogs.
Note
to
Reader:
My
intention
in
this
piece
is
to
be
somewhat
funny
in
a
self-deprecatory
manner,
as
well
as
bring
attention
to
the
pet
preferences
of
personality
types
in
a
satirical
manner.
I
am
in
no
way
implying
ALL
dog
own-
ers
are
narcissists
or
ALL
cat
owners
are
codependents
(hmm,
I
may
have
to
take
that
back,
if
you’re
a
happy
and
satisfied
cat
owner,
then
you’re
most
like-
ly
codependent
-
yep
-
totally
codependent).

Adding
Value
to
Geothermal
Boreholes
A
dapted
from
Information
by
Agreenability
Across
the
globe,
geothermal
drilling
has
surged
in
response
to
the
demand
for
a
cleaner
alternative
to
heating
and
cooling
buildings.
Although
the
increased
market
for
geothermal
drilling
is
great
news
for
drilling
professionals,
it’s
also
bringing
more
competition
from
drill
operators
wanting
a
piece
of
the
business.
Derek
Stewart
from
Catskills
Geothermal
and
Well
Drilling,
a
third
generation
well
drilling
professional,
has
been
drilling
geothermal
wells
for
several
years. Recently,
he
began
searching
for
a
solution
to
a
number
of
problems.
Increased
competition
has
brought
the
price
of
geothermal
drilling
down.
Derek
is
well
versed
in
technological
improvements
such
as
high-conductivity
grout
and
the
more
recent
intro-
duction
of
graphite-enhanced
grout,
to
help
improve
heat
transfer. So,
when
he
came
across
the
TWISTER™
high-efficiency,
multiloop
geoexchange
pipe
from
Agreenability,
he
was
excited
to
discover
such
an
effective
solution.
Knowing
each
foot
is
expensive
to
drill,
but
also
being
limited
in
what
he
could
charge
per
foot,
TWISTER™
offered
a
way
to
increase
the
value
of
a
borehole
without
having
to
drill
deeper.
TWISTER™
increases
the
rate
of
heat
exchange
between
the
heat
transfer
fluid
and
ground
so
effectively,
it
can
increase
the
capacity
of
a
300-foot
bore
from
two
tons
(with
standard
1¼-inch
pipe)
to
three
tons,
representing
a
50%
increase
in
value
of
the
borehole.
The
increased
value
means
drill
operators
can
charge
more
per
foot.
Although
TWISTER™
costs
more
than
standard
pipe,
the
additional
cost
is
easily
recovered
by
the
increased
value
of
the
borehole.
While
it’s
a
drastic
improvement
over
standard
technology,
it’s
constructed
with
the
same
reliable
HDPE
(high
density
polyethylene)
materials
and
meets
requirements
of
IGSHPA
(International
Ground
Source
Heat
Pump
Association),
as
well
as
most
state
geothermal
well
specifications.
Best
of
all,
it’s
installed
the
exact
same
way
as
a
standard
loop,
so
you
don’t
have
to
change
the
installation
process.

for
TWISTER

“Billy

Smith”
Stupid
Curses
Since
April
1st
is
the
biggest
prank
day
of
the
year,
I
thought
I
would
share
some
of
the
craziest
-
not
pranks
-
but
curses,
people
put
on
others
for
any
number
of
reasons.
Do
you
have
anyone
in
your
life
you
would
like
to
place
a
curse
on?
Someone
put
one
on
you?
So
-
how
is
this
working
for
you
or
them?
You
may
not
believe
it,
but
people
actually
pay
to
have
curses
put
on
others.
I’m
not
going
to
mention
names,
but
I
gotta
tell
you
-
where
is
this
world
heading?
First,
here
is
a
promo
from
one
of
the
ads
I
found:
Imagine
what
the
POWER
of
White
Magic
could
do
for
you!
I
do
the
spell
cursing
for
you
.
.
.
Your
good
fortune
awaits
you
.
.
.
Get
your
spells
cast
today!
Here
are
a
few
common
ones
that
are
the
most
popular:
The
Get
Even
Spell:
If
you're
certain
a
specific
person
has
done
you
harm
or
wishes
for
your
unhappiness,
this
is
your
chance
to
get
even!
Blazing
Fast
Punisher
Spell:
Are
you
fed
up
with
a
person
who
has
it
in
for
you?
Relationship
Doctor
Couple
Disintegrator:
If
you
are
certain
a
specific
couple
should
not
be
together
and
you
have
no
doubt
whatsoever
about
it,
we
have
designed
this
powerful
spell
to
end
it
quickly
and
decisively!
Make
My
Enemy
Weaker
Gypsy
Spell:
This
spell
is
designed
to
penetrate
your
antagonist's
sub-
conscious,
making
them
vulnerable
and
weak,
leading
them
to
question
their
own
abilities.
Blazing
Fast
Couple
Breaker:
This
is
a
very
powerful
spell
and
should
be
requested
only
if
you
are
"absolutely"
certain
these
two
peo-
ple
will
never
be
happy
together.
Relationship
Killer
Spell:
Help
bring
a
doomed
relationship
to
a
quick
end!
Had
enough
of
this
garbage,
or
should
I
go
on
with
more?
‘Cause
if
you
have
time,
I
can
certainly
find
one
that
might
just
fit
your
current
life
challenges
or
someone
special.
Happy
April
Fool’s
month!

And
here’s
a
comment
from
a
WWDR
WWDR
reader
to
my
February
2020
article
about
complaints:
“Being
an
international
salesman
for
a
pump
company,
I
spend
a
lot
of
time
in
airplanes.
My
pet
peeves
are
backpacks.
I
choose
aisle
seats
for
convenience
and
cannot
count
the
number
of
times
I
have
been
walloped
in
the
head
by
some
fool
wearing
a
backpack,
mindlessly
turning
to
find
his
seat.
On
one
flight,
I
saw
a
fistfight
break
out
over
this.
The
cops
met
both
parties
at
the
gate.
The
other
is
people
who
pull
on
your
seat
back
when
going
in
and
out
of
their
seat.
So
many
idiots
.

Hello all my family, friends, and
prayer supports,
We arrived here [in Guatemala] on
the 10th of January, and will be leaving
next Tuesday, the 18th of February. Our
first volunteer drill operator arrived and
started up the rotary well drill. He is
from Iowa, where he drills in “oatmeal”
and found it quite a challenge to grind
through limestone rocks of all shapes
and sizes. Nevertheless, he drilled
about seven holes in about two weeks,
so I had to get pumps ready to make
those holes become wells. For those
who don’t know, I drill out the pivot
points on these hand pumps to accept
stainless steel bushings to keep the
cast iron from wearing out. To a limited
extent, I can repair old pumps that do
have enlarged holes from wear, and
make them jungle ready again.
Last Thursday, I was invited to help
install pumps on two new holes we
drilled. That’s the most exciting part of
this whole adventure - worth all the
money, time, and effort since we get to
see the exhilaration of the residents as
they see that first stream of H
2
O appear
from the spout on the hand pumps.
Then they start washing their hands
and face, and soon splashing it on each
other. It’s like chocolate to Americans!
Some of the old ladies are smiling
through their tears of joy, and the young
ladies are happy they don’t have to
walk half a mile carrying dirty water they
can’t drink. We try to tell them don’t
drink the well water quite yet so the pipe
can clean itself and the chlorine gets
flushed out that we disinfect the well
with is gone, but they are cupping their
hands and drinking, or tasting at least.
Think about all that the next time you
take a drink from your faucet.

Nature’s
Groundwater
Purification
System
-
Please
Do
Not
Disturb!
Most
groundwater
we
pump
from
wells,
often
ranging
from
a
few
feet
to
a
few
hundred
feet
in
depth,
is
usually
of
drinking
water
quality
requiring
little
or
no
treatment.
Fortunately,
most
all
groundwater
has
its
origin
as
rainwater
which
begins
in
the
water
cycle
by
evaporating
from
surface
water
bodies
up
into
the
atmosphere.
This
distillation
process
leaves
behind
many
types
of
impurities
in
the
surface
water
and
sends
the
clean
water
up
into
the
atmosphere
to
clouds
via
evaporation.
However,
during
this
evaporation
process,
the
as-
cending
water
may
pick
up
carbonic
and
sulfuric
acid
(from
auto
exhaust,
coal-fired
power
plants,
etc.)
which
can
cause
the
rainwater
to
be
slightly
acidic.
Groundwater
is
likely
to
become
contaminated
while
percolating
into
shallow
soils
by
absorbing
various
contaminants
such
as:
salts,
fuels,
bacteria,
metals,
nitrates,
etc.
Fortunately,
groundwater
is
often
purified
as
it
percolates
into
the
subsurface
layers
through
numerous
types
of
natural
filters
that
remove
or
destroy
unwanted
contamination
through
various
biological,
chemical,
and
physical
filters.
Surface
soils
commonly
contain
various
microorganisms
(bacteria)
in
the
soil
column.
Sands
and
clays
also
act
as
me-
chanical
filters
that
remove
turbidity.
Various
harmful
bacteria
(such
as
sewage
from
septic
tanks)
are
often
unable
to
survive
physical
changes
from
oxidizing
to
reducing
(anaerobic)
conditions
as
they
percolate
deeper
into
anaerobic
depths.
Fuel
type
compounds
can
supply
a
source
of
carbon
for
bacteria
to
break
down
carbon
-
hydrogen
-
oxygen
molecules
into
less
toxic
compounds
which
can
be
used
by
various
plants
and
animals.
In
summary,
this
natural
sequence
of:
1)
“filters”
which
mechanically
remove
microscopic
turbidity
to
produce
clear
or
nonturbid
groundwater;
2)
“oxidizing
and
reducing
conditions”
are
capable
of
destroying
harmful
bacteria
and
viruses;
3)
pres-
ence
of
“organic
matter”
peat
and
carbon
substrate
can
adsorb
harmful
forms
of
toxic
metals;
and,
4)
“plants”
can
remove
nitrates
and
phosphates
from
percolating
groundwaters.
Efforts
should
be
taken
to
restore
these
natural
layers
when
we
as
humans
disrupt
them
by
penetrating
or
removing
these
layered
treatment
systems.
It
takes
a
very
long
time
to
return
the
natural
purification
system
and,
ideally
to
protect
our
ground-
water,
these
layers
should
not
be
disturbed.

Notes
from
the
Groundwater
Guy
by
Thomas
E.
Ballard,
P.G.,
C.H.G.
Southeast
Hydrogeology,
PLLC
Chlorine:
Fact
and
Fiction
Despite
the
fact
chlorine
is
probably
the
most
widely
used
chemical
in
the
water
well
industry,
it
is
likely
the
most
misunder-
stood.
Most
commonly
used
for
disinfection
of
wells,
chlorine
is
often
used
for
other
pur-
poses,
where
it
is
much
less
effective
or
even
harmful
to
the
well.
I
have
attended
classes
and
webinars
with
so-called
experts
who
have
advocated
chlorine
for
treating
biofilm
and
dissolving
mineral
incrustations
where,
in
actuality,
chlorine
is
completely
ineffective
at
these
applications.
Chlorine
is
most
effective
as
a
biocide
against
free-swimming
bacteria
(as
opposed
to
biofilms
attached
to
the
well).
However,
to
be
used
for
this
purpose,
one
must
understand
a
bit
about
the
chemistry
of
chlorine
and
chlorine
compounds.
When
we
talk
chlorine,
we
are
usually
talking
about
compounds
which
contain
chlorine.
Chlorine
itself
is
an
element
in
the
form
of
Cl
2
,
whereas
chlorine
compounds
are
those
chemicals
which
contain
the
active
chlorine.
In
well
drilling,
there
are
two
commonly
used
chlorine
compounds:
Sodium
hypochlorite
is
common
bleach
that
comes
in
liquid
form
and
is
often
used
for
disinfection
in
well
drilling
and
construction.
There
are
several
challenges
in
using
sodium
hypochlorite:
it
has
a
short
shelf
life
of
about
six
months;
it
is
very
caustic
and
can
corrode
wells;
and,
it
is
pH
(acidity)
sensitive,
meaning
it
is
most
effective
within
a
narrow
pH
range.
The
short
shelf
life
means
the
available
chlorine
in
the
bleach
you
are
using
can
vary
widely
and
result
in
uncertain
dis-
infection
effects.
Calcium
hypochlorite
has
about
65%-70%
available
chlorine,
comes
in
a
solid,
and
has
a
shelf
life
of
about
a
year.
Calcium
hypochlorite
should
be
mixed
at
the
surface
then
applied,
because
pellets
and
granules
may
not
dissolve
com-
pletely
when
just
dropped
into
the
well.
With
any
of
the
chlorine
compounds,
the
target
compound
you
want
to
form
for
disinfection
purposes
is
hypochlorous
acid
(HOCl).
However,
due
to
variables
such
as
pH,
temperature,
water
chemistry,
hardness,
and
alkalinity,
the
amount
of
hypochlorous
acid
produced
can
vary.
For
example,
hypochlorous
acid
is
most
stable
at
a
pH
of
about
five,
yet
most
chlorine
compounds
will
want
to
move
the
pH
out
of
this
optimal
range,
making
the
chlorine
less
effective.
For
this
reason,
when
using
sodium
or
calcium
hypochlorite,
it
is
important
to
also
use
a
buffering
com-
pound
to
stabilize
the
pH,
or
use
a
chlo-
rine
product
which
is
pre-combined
with
a
pH
buffer.
This
will
hold
the
pH
in
the
proper
range
for
most
effective
disinfec-
tion
results.

-
just
to

their
thanks
that
there
had
been
no
waterborne
illness
since
we
installed
their
well,
whereas
previously
the
village
was
constantly
having

we
could
bring
them
health
through

to
install
-
for
the
first
time
-
a
new
type
of
hand
pump
made
by
Agua
4
Vita.
We
are
going
to
do
the
testing
for
the
manufac-
turer.
From
the
pump
on
the
surface,
water
is
forced
down
to
a
flexible
bladder
enclosed
in
a
metal
tube,
which
is
about
a
quarter
bigger
than
the
bladder.
As
the
bladder
expands,
it
forces
water
up
the
discharge
pipe
to
the
top
of
the
pump.
As
the
handle
on
the
pump
is
pressed
down,
the
hydraulic
pressure
is
reduced
in
the
bladder
and
it
collapses
to
its
normal
shape,
thus
sucking
more
water
into
the
metal
tube.
Then
the
upstroke
of
the
han-
dle
on
the
pump
pressurizes
and
expands
the
bladder
again,
forcing
the
water
in
the
tube
up
the
discharge
pipe
to
the
top.
Got
it?
This
new
principle
type
should
last
much
longer
than
our
old
pumps
with
the
cylinder,
leathers,
and
piston
at
the
bot-
tom
of
the
well.
We’ll
see.
We
are
excited
to
test
it
out.
We
can
pump
from
much
deeper
wells
now
if
we
have
to,
but
most
of
our
wells
are
pumping
from
between
60
and
100
feet,
but
this
one
we
are
installing
will
be
at
130
feet.
Wow,
what
a
day!
Four
wells
visited
and
the
new
Vita
pump
installed.
It’s
work-
ing
flawlessly
and
the
villagers
couldn’t
be
happier!
And
so
are
we
since
we
antic-
ipate
hardly
any
maintenance
for
several
years
based
on
how
it
operates.
It
is
a
little
harder
to
pump,
but
it’s
also
pumping
from
130
feet,
so
I’m
guessing
it
would
be
about
the
same
as
the
old
hand
pump
from
that
depth.
As
several
guys
tried
their
arms
at
raising
a
lowering
the
pump
handle,
the
villagers
were
enjoying
hilarious
laughter
from
their
comments.
Then
one
of
the
ladies
volunteered
to
try
it,
and
she
was
excited
as
well.
It
is
emotional
for
me
to
experience
their
joy
over
something
as
basic
as
clean
water
that
we
hardly
give
second
thoughts
to.

First
District
Heating
System
Utilizing
Mine
Water
Adapted
from
Information
by
the
United
Kingdom
Government
Construction
of
a
geothermal
district
heating
system
utilizing
mine
water
is
underway
in
Seaham,
County
Durham,
United
Kingdom.
The
Seaham
Garden
Village
development
will
have
750
apartments,
750
pri-
vate
homes,
a
school,
shops,
and
medical
facilities,
located
near
existing
commercial
buildings.
Geothermal
heat
will
be
supplied
from
the
Coal
Authority’s
nearby
Dawdon
mine
water
treatment
facility,
which
treats
water
abstracted
from
an
extensive
network
of
flooded
abandoned
coal
mines
in
the
area.
Some
years
ago,
the
Coal
Authority
identified
a
risk
to
an
aquifer
due
to
rising
water
in
the
old
mine.
The
mine
water,
containing
more
salt
than
sea
water,
could
significantly
diminish
the
quality
of
the
drinking
water
if
something
wasn’t
done.
So
the
unique
solution
to
protect
the
aquifer
was
to
create
a
state-of-the-art
active
chemical
treat-
ment
plant.
Quality
and
quantity
of
the
mine
water,
along
with
limited
availability
of
land,
the
sensitive
location
being
near
a
coast,
and
a
nearby
rail
line
crossing
and
road
presented
challenges.
The
building
was
designed
to
fit
in
with
local
development,
and
89%
of
the
waste
generated
during
plant
construction
was
recycled
in
the
process.
Solar
panels
were
installed
on
the
roof
of
the
main
building
to
produce
elec-
tricity
to
offset
the
cost
of
running
the
pumps.
Heat
exchangers,
as
well
as
a
domestic
heat
pump,
were
installed
to
capture
heat
from
the
mine
water
and
is
currently
provided
to
the
offices,
workshops,
and
crew
rooms
of
the
treatment
facility.
The
UK Coal
Authority
is
committed
to
creating
a
green
future
from
the
abandoned
mines.
Mine
water
can
be
an
important,
sustainable
source
of
energy
for
the
UK,
while
providing
many
commercial
benefits
and
employment
opportunities.
It
is
thought
there
is
enough
energy
potential
in
the
UK’s
flooded
mines
to
heat
all
of
the
homes
on
the
coalfields.

SaMoTer is Rescheduled
Adapted from Information by Veronafiere SpA
In the wake of the recent spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) in Italy, the
Board of Directors of Veronafiere SpA
rescheduled SaMoTer, the international
construction equipment trade fair orig-
inally planned for March 21-25, to
October 21-25.
The board felt it would be nearly
impossible to ensure proper timing for
set-up, dismantling, and logistics oper-
ations for the event. Other events held
in conjunction with SaMoTer, Asphaltica - the road infrastructure event; ICCX
Southern Europe - for those in the precast concrete sector; and LetExpo - the sus-
tainable logistics trade fair, will also be held at the same time in May.

Frequently-Used Geological Terms Part 87
Glossary Adapted from the Dictionary of Geological Terms
S
Salt Glacier
- A mass of mobile salt at the earth’s surface which flows slowly out-
ward from a center, generally an exposed salt plug; known only in such an
extremely arid region as that adjacent to the Persian Gulf.
Salt Lake
- A body of water in an arid or semiarid region, having no outlet to the sea, containing a high concentration of dis-
solved salts (mainly sodium chloride). Examples include the Great Salt Lake in Utah, and the Dead Sea in the Near East.
Saltpeter
- A naturally occurring potassium nitrate. Also used to describe earthy cave deposits of nitrate minerals.
Saltwater Encroachment
- Displacement of fresh groundwater by advancing saltwater due to its greater density, usually in
coastal and estuarine areas, but also by movement of brine from beneath a playa lake toward wells discharging freshwater.
Encroachment occurs when the total head of the saltwater exceeds that of adjacent freshwater.
Sandstone
- A clastic sedimentary rock composed of grains of sand size set in a matrix of silt or clay and more or less firmly
united by a cementing material (com-
monly silica, iron oxide, or calcium car-
bonate); the consolidated equivalent of
sand. The sand particles usually consist
of quartz, and the term sandstone, when
used without qualification, indicates a
rock containing about 85-90% quartz.
Sanidine
- A high-temperature mineral of
the alkali feldspar group. It forms colorless
or white, glassy, transparent crystals in
acidic volcanic rocks such as trachyte.

Helium
is

April
is
National
Safe
Digging
Month
Adapted
from
Information
by
the
Common
Ground
Alliance
Knowing
what’s
belowground
before
drilling
or
digging
is
very
important.
An
underground
utility
line
is
damaged
every
six
minutes
nationwide
because
someone
decided
to
dig
without
calling
811
first.
The
Common
Ground
Alliance
(CGA)
is
the
association
dedicated
to
protecting
underground
utility
lines
and
the
safety
of
people
who
dig
near
them.
Digging
without
knowing
the
approx-
imate
location
of
underground
utilities
can
result
in
damage
to
gas,
electric,
commu-
nications,
water
and
sewer
lines,which
leads
to
service
disruptions,
serious
in-
juries,
and
costly
repairs.
There
are
more
than
20
million
miles
of
underground
utilities
in
the
United
States,
which
equates
to
more
than
105
yards
of
buried
utilities
for
every
man,
woman,
and
child
in
the
U.S.
The
process
is
simple:
1.
Call
811
from
anywhere
in
the
country
a
few
days
prior
to
digging
or
drilling.
Your
call
will
automatically
be
routed
to
your
local
one
call
center.
2.
Give
the
operator
information
about
how
to
contact
you,
where
you
are
planning
to
dig,
and
what
type
of
work
you
will
be
doing.
3.
Utility
companies
with
potential
facilities
in
the
area
of
your
dig
site
will
be
notified
about
your
intent
to
dig
or
drill.
4.
Within
2-3
working
days,
each
affected
utility
company
will
send
a
locator
to
mark
the
approximate
lo-
cation
of
your
underground
utility
lines.
5.
Manually
dig
around
the
marks
carefully.
Calling
811
is
the
easiest
way
to
makesure
you
are
doing
your
part
to
keep
communities
safe.
By
calling
811
before
digging,
you
have
less
than
a
1%
chance
of
striking
a
buried
utility
line.
