Let Someone Else Eat Cake

A birthday party for an employee at Gravity Diagnostics in Kentucky cost the company $450,000, but it wasn't an expensive cake and decorations that ran up the bill, WLKYTV reported. The employee, whose birthday fell on Aug. 7, asked the office manager days before to forgo the usual celebration because such affairs trigger his anxiety disorder, and "being the center of attention" would cause him to suffer a panic attack. However, the manager went ahead with planning a lunchtime to-do in the break room, which caused the guest of honor to flee to his car to eat his lunch.

The next day, the birthday boy was called into a meeting and scolded for his reaction and was later fired "because of the events of the previous week," according to a lawsuit he filed against the company. In the suit, the former employee said the company didn't accommodate his anxiety disorder and caused him to suffer a "loss of income and benefits and emotional distress and mental anxiety." The Kenton County jury agreed and awarded him the six-figure amount.

It's a Dirty Job ...

In Australia, Queensland's Bill Edgar is known to some as the Coffin Confessor. As such, Edgar shows up at funerals and speaks for the deceased, telling off family members, setting friends straight and delivering bad news about beneficiaries, News.com.au reported on April 14.

But Edgar's job doesn't stop there. His services, for which he charges $2,000 to $10,000, have expanded to removing items from the deceased's home that they'd rather the family not see: "Could be sex toys, messages of hate, love, whatever it is they've written down, that they want removed from their web browsers. One gentleman had ... a sex dungeon in one of his bedrooms. And that gentleman was 88 years of age, believe it or not," Edgar said.

He even delivers his services in the United States and United Kingdom, and he said Paramount has picked up the story for a movie.

Solving problems According to Marcia, DEEP thinks they’ve solved some of the key engineering issues involved with bringing up very hot, and very saline water from deep underground. Those include corrosion and pumping.

In a way, it has been like playing a game of whack-a-mole, she explained, but they have gotten to the point where they might be able to put that whack-a-mole mallet away.

Marcia said, “We always knew we had corrosion challenges, but we had anticipated that we could solve that with corrosion inhibitor.

And then test work revealed in December that the feed rates would just be at impossible rates.

So that made DEEP revisit the subsurface design switch, where we had to use special coated tubing, but of course, what happens when you do that is then you restrict your flow rates, right? You don’t have the original nine fiveeighths diameter wellbore. So that then triggered some subsurface redesign, which doesn’t happen overnight.

“That took us a few months to work through, and to work through the reservoir modeling, and make sure that the parasitic loads don’t go up. And we are really happy with where we are sitting.”

The solution for the tubing is to use specially lined tubing.

For surface hardware, they can corrosion resistant material use.

They will be using electric submersible pumps (ESPs), which specialize in moving vast quantities of fluids. And one of the key points is they’ve been able to reduce the expected parasitic load to less than the 50 per cent originally expected. Right now, that is looking like 15 megawatts per facility. Marcia said. “We’ve got that down to less than half, which is awesome.”

FEED done The front end engineering and design (FEED) was competed last fall. Now DEEP is working with Calgary-based SCOVAN Engineering on their design basis memorandum (DBM) phase of engineering.

DEEP has secured 80 acres of land under an 18 month offer to purchase for the surface area requirements for the first planned approximately 35 megawatt geothermal facility.

Regarding the use of natural gas for powering the pumps and facilities, Marcia said, 306-430-7448 “When people talk about energy transition, 306-460-7995 people want to jump from high carbon emisSEPTIC SERVICES Kindersley, SK sion energy all the way immediately to low carbon.

DEEP’s government subsurface lease for geothermal power is a contiguous 39,120 hectare (99,667 acre) block. In addition to geothermal power production, and with proper regulatory approvals, separate stratigraphic intervals within this subsurface lease could also be used for CO2 storage. DEEP is exploring strategic CO2 storage opportunities to develop a major multi-use CO2 storage field.

All of these are the final details that need to be in place for the large construction financing, she said.

tern (with palms at center). Or arrange three hands with one hand pointing to the right, one to the left and one straight up. The pattern should resemble a flower.

3. Cut and glue on green paper in shapes of a stem and leaves. Add a circle in a contrasting color for the center of the flower.

4. Make a border on the poster card and write a personal greeting, such as "Best Mom, Hands Down!" or "From your little blossoms: Janelle, Mia and Emily."

Young kids can let Mom know she's the best, hands down, with this personalized Mother's Day poster card. Their own handprints will create the blooms for an artful flower that Mom will treasure. Get started now, since Mother's Day is Sunday, May 8.

Here's what you'll need: — 1 large, 12-inch-by-18-inch sheet of sturdy construction paper or poster board in a light color such as yellow, pink or lavender — several sheets of construction paper in assorted colors — colorful tissue paper, cut into thin strips — white household glue — empty recycled margarine or deli tub — paintbrush, pencil and scissors Here's the fun: 1. With the pencil, outline your child's hand with fingers slightly spread apart on a piece of construction paper. Cut out tracings (you'll need at least three per flower).

2. Pour glue into the tub, and dilute with a few drops of water. Brush glue mixture on the cutout. Wad the tissue strips and press on cutout to decorate. Make and decorate several hand shapes using at least one hand from each child in the family. Glue the cutouts on the top half of the large sheet of construction paper in a circular pat-

Kids lend a "hand" to create Mother's Day poster card Variation: Instead of cutting a hand shape, simply place a child's hand in poster paint (palm down) and guide the hand on the card. Gently press the hand on the paper, making sure that the palm and five fingers make a print. Repeat with another child's hand until the flower is complete. Add paper stem, leaves and center. *** Find more family fun at www.donnaerickson.com. Write to Donna at Info@ donnaerickson.com © 2022 Donna Erickson

Back in the day, on a beautiful spring day, a farmer had led his cow to a small stream next to a green, lush meadow. The animal happily guzzles some water, while the farmer milks her. Two engineers come hiking down the path that follows the stream.

“Excuse me, sir”, says one, “what are you doing there?”

“Well, I’m milking the cow, of course”, answers the farmer. Considering the question, and their looks, he adds: “You must be from the city?”

“That’s right”, the man responds. “You see, I’ve heard of milking a cow, but I’ve never witnessed the process myself. And to tell the truth, I’m quite intrigued to see how it works!”

“Then wait until you’ve tasted the fresh, still warm milk!” exclaims the enterprising farmer, producing two tin mugs. “5 ct each.”

Without a second thought, the engineers agree and are in bliss. They feel like they’ve never tasted milk before in all their life.

“You see”, continues the talkative one, “we are engineers. I’d like to get a more thorough understanding of how this works. What I have already perceived is that the water goes in at the front, and the milk comes out at the bottom shortly after. That’s obvious. But what happens in between?!”

The farmer shoots him a doubtful glance. But ever eager to do business, he replies: “Look here, gentlemen, I am but a simple man and don’t understand any of this. But tell you what: For $200, I’ll sell you the beast, and you can research her aaalll you want.”

The engineers do have the money between them. And after some discussion, with some encouragement from the farmer’s side (beautiful specimen, never find the same at such a price), they agree and purchase the cow. The farmer hands them a piece of rope to lead the animal away, and off they go.

Two hours later, the sun being quite warm that day, they stop again. And decide to still their thirst with some more of that delicious milk. One leads the cow to the stream, who starts drinking at once. The other one is at the back, cluelessly pulling the udder.

As he has not the slightest idea of what he’s doing, and the cow having been milked just two hours previously, the result is: none at all.

“Hey”, he prompts the guy at the front, “I believe the water intake is not sufficient. Try and put the nozzle a bit deeper into the water!”

The other guy, not a man for half-hearted action, pushes the cow’s head down into the water.

Mouth, nose and all. The poor beast starts to panic - and to wildly diarrhea.

“Not THAT deep!”, the engineer shouts. “She’s already drawing up the mud...!”
