Gwala: The local manufacture of platinum-using fuel cells is now a reality, with the first batch successfully commercialised.
Creamer: The last four years we have been talking about fuel cells. The first batch now has gone to Vodacom. These are fuel cells that back up some of the mobile phone system. There is 18 fuel cells going out and this in no mean feat.
I think credit must go to the Department of Science and Technology who has been championing this along with the private sector. If you work together with them and I'm talking about Anglo American Platinum and the company they formed Altergy and also clean energy.
This is the particular company concerned here now, because when we look at platinum we must remember that this is a provider of clean energy that platinum plays the catalytic role in this process.
The first 18 of these have gone out and its an amazing achievement, being used by Vodacom. Again, it is an idea of getting more out of our platinum. We know that platinum in the past has been a boom-and-bust industry. It used to be buffered by the gold because they had to close their mines in Rustenburg in the old days because of poor marketing and those workers would go over to gold because there was normally another shaft being sunk.
That doesn't happen these days. So we have got to look for new markets and these initiatives like the one that has been introduced by the Department of Science and Technology is starting to bear fruit. It is also an important thing because we are a resource-rich country and therefore we normally have currency problems and you don't want currency problems because you've also got a manufacturing set up where you want to export.
This is a sort of thing the localisation and the beneficiation is what can give us the answer to what people call the resource curse. We want a resource blessing. I think Africa is starting to realise, particularly from the likes of Nigeria, who discovered oil in 1970 and then proceeded to concentrate on the oil and forget about its cocoa and peanut agricultural businesses.
Those might have been better employers of labour, but they have been knocked out of the scene by oil. We don't want that in South Africa, we want this balance and I think the way is to come in with added-value products like fuel cells. They are fantastic and they could end as the power stations in our kitchen. We could have a thing the size of our washing machine that would be our power station.
Its clean and the only by product is water and it could drive the engines of our cars. So, massive potential and we need to really accelerate.
Gwala: A pilot plant for the local beneficiation of titanium is to be built at the CSIR.
Creamer: Again, we are the second largest producers of titanium ore but we add little value to it. Championing this is the Department of Science and Technology coming in with the Department of Trade and Industry saying that we can do more with this. Already you see the CSIR coming in on the act and finding a novel way of producing the metal from the ore, which could give us a comparative advantage.
Now they are setting up this pilot plant so it is all near-term stuff that is happening and not pie in the sky in the distance. We want to get into this titanium metal powder market, which gives you so much more value when you export it. Again a situation of make sure you look at the potential markets for these and see how we can fit in.
Titanium goes into aerospace, into satellites, because of its light weight, high-tech futuristic products and we can do so much more with it. The idea is that you mustn't just have this pilot plant, it must go into a commercial plant and a new industry. That must be the ambitious thinking that we have. Resource-rich country here so let's make sure that we get full value out of our resources.
Gwala: 'Shared value' is a concept being openly propagated along the corridors of mining power in the aftermath of the Marikana tragedy.
Creamer: This is what we are hearing now, we have heard a lot about nationalisation and we've heard a lot about free enterprise, but now coming through the middle, a third way, that is shared value, and not just looking on corporate social investment as a peripheral activity in your business.
No, taking shared value into the centre of your boardroom and saying that we must reconnect the role of business and that is to create a better way for society. How do we get that holistic approach? When you do that and this is a study done by Michael Porter, a Harvard University professor, who is propagating this idea of shared value, and I must say it is sweeping through like a fire.
Peoples' thinking is that this is the way to go in South Africa now. We know that the new generation of young people are asking business to step up. There is no entity like business that can step up.
There is nothing else in the world that can really step up. And if business now takes on this new mantra of businesses acting like the most powerful force they are, they can reconnect with society. One of the great examples and what is expected out of this is a new wave of innovation and productivity.
When you involve a bigger base you are going to get more out of this. This is the belief and the thinking of people who want to reconnect business success and social success. Of course, in this is the question of education. we have got minimally educated miners. This can not continue, you can't allow minimally educated people to operate expensive equipment.
We know we are moving towards a new era in mining. Now is the time to think along the shared value lines to float all boats and not just huge bonuses for the top people and much less for those below. Let's get everybody into the picture and put them in the centre of the boardroom and lets work for everyone here and hope that everyone will come to the party as well.
Gwala: Thanks very much. Martin Creamer is publishing editor of Engineering News and Mining Weekly, he'll be back with us at the same time next week.

For the past week, we've been sharing tutorials for making our Forest Gnome family. You can find the tutorials for them HERE and HERE.
To finish off this project, today I am sharing a tutorial on how the make the rustic Gnome Cradle. First, let me start by saying, I AM NO MASTER CARVER! This is about the simplest wood carving around, but, it lends itself well to the forest gnomes!
Before we get started, let's talk a little about equipment. I am not to trusted with sharp pointy things. One birthday Michelle bought me needle felting supplies and Tim bought me carving tools. For the next few weeks I was covered in band-aids. The next year, Tim bought me marvelous Kevlar Gloves that are cut resistant, and I get far fewer ouchies when I'm carving. So highly recommend these!
When I started this project, I couldn't find my favorite carving knife. I use an Old Timer 4 blade Knife all the time. Growing up, my dad used an Old Timer...Read more
Is there anything more precious than a new born baby? I think not! And, have you ever wondered where baby gnomes come from? Well, here's your chance to find out.
When Pixie and Fairy saw the new Forest Gnome Family, the first thing they both said was, "Where's the baby?"
Of course we needed a baby! Originally, I planned to make it exactly like the other Forest Gnomes, only smaller, but, as I started to put one together, I thought it would look ever so much cuter if it was wearing a tiny sleeper, all snug and cozy. Actually, I made a "whimsy" of Forest Gnome Babies.

The other day I was doing a workshop on making our Flower Fairies. While talking to one of the women, I mentioned that I was going to draw up a pattern for the very simple Wool Roving Forest Gnomes. She said, "You mean these?" And, she proceed to fold a piece of paper in half, and after a few snips with the scissors, opened the paper, and there was a pattern for these gnomes. "Wow", I said marveling at her speed. "I think you must have made a few of these!" Her eyes twinkled and she said, "You have no idea. I can make these in my sleep. You may need to clean up the edges a bit, and after you make the first one, draw a circle for the base, but this should get you going."
I wanted to credit her for the pattern, but she told me it was an old, traditional pattern, and belonged to the world. That may be the case, but thank you anyway, Vicky :)
So, I did "clean it up" a bit, and created a base. I then played with it to create 3...Read more

Audio and video converter with support for multiple formats
Articles Any Video/Audio Converter
With such an ever growing range of multimedia devices, no wonder format converters are becoming so popular these days!
Any Audio/Video Converter is one of those converters: a simple, easy-to-use application that support pretty much any format you can find nowadays and lets you convert both audio and video files in just a few steps.
The program works with a list where you add the files you want to convert, no matter what format they are. Then you configure the conversion options for each one of them separately and finally click on the "Convert" button to let the program do the rest. I think this method is quite handy and saves you loads of work and time; pity the trial version only accepts one file on this list!
Any Audio/Video Converter includes a built-in player in its interface, but it's only good to watch the video while it's being converted and not preview it before actually starting the process.
With Any Audio/Video Converter you can convert basically any audio and video file you can think of, in a quite easy process that involves very little effort.

"the card turned out beautiful! the paper is simple- which suits the theme of this card, no shimmer. I can't wait to start mailing them out! Great job as always TinyPrints!!!"
"We loved this card and received so many compliments! The photo and print quality were amazing...as usual. We also loved that there was a rectangular envelope option to save on postage!"
"Sarah Hawkins' beautiful design transformed a few pictures into a piece of family art. Will treasure forever. Kim in customer service is an angel!"
"Perfect Christmas card for our family. We made it look more than just a Holiday card. It's something that can be kept around all year round. That was our goal so that we didn't have to send family a separate set of photos of our 1 year old. I also suggest upgrading to the pearlized paper."

MOC: Narrow Gauge Stadler GTW
Posted 13 November 2012 - 04:27 PM
After a long time I'd like to introduce my new train MOC, which one is actually my first 6-wide train, the narrow-gauge Stadler GTW.
Fig.1: The whole train on brick-built train track.
The second meeting in 2012 of hungarian LEGO users group (MALUG) was held last weekend in Budapest. Before this event on of our LUG members called others to build narrow gauge vechiles for the meeting. After thinking about my possibilities and favourited vechiles I started to build the first popular vechile of Stadler, the GTW. The coloring of this train is not autenthic, there are no OBB/SBB colored GTWs in narrow gauge, but I had only red and white bricks to use.
The real challenge was to build the PF-system into the train and make it able to run on narrow-gauge train track (the curved track pieces from Indiana Jones sets in dark bluish gray and from Space sets in black). The LUG member called others to build narrow-gauge vechiles set up a test-track for all trains, built from this curved track pieces, including two S-turns.
That was the test-track (with the little green train): http://www.brickshel...11/dsc_1882.jpg
Firstly I've realized, that I've had to build one and half windows less to the modell then the original train. The radius of these curve is 27 stud, and my train actual length is 90 studs. The middle-section contains two PF M-motors, both of them are driving one axle via 12 tooth-gear wheels. One of the low-floor sections contains the battery box and the IR-reciever. The train has two yellow front lights on each end, PF leds' cables are hidden in the roof.
Fig.2: Driven axles and coupling solution for the train. Left side coupled, right disconnected. The coupling enables about 75° turnout and looks like closed until 30° turnout.
Fig.3: Turnout. However I did not have test track for the meeting, the train succeded to run on the test track.
The most 'engineering' success for me is the coupling solution. Using SNOT slopes by the coupling looks really great, they are avaliable in lot of colors, and you don't need rubber. This method will work for trains with Jacobs-boogies, too, the only difference is, that the middle section is narrower.
The front part of the train is built of prepared modules, it can be repared, changed without getting of the train from the rails.
Fig.4: Modules forming the train front with power functions lights built in.
Hope you enjoyed, please comment you critics here.

The design of the catenary masts your group is using is very nice indeed. Could you give us a part breakdown of these masts as I'm sure that I'm not the only one running electric locos who wants to have catenary masts on their own layouts.
Posted 16 November 2012 - 02:49 AM
Part list for one catenary pole:
Window 1 x 2 x 3 Flat Front | green | 7
Brick 1×2 | green | 1 (+1)*
Hinge Plate 1 x 2 Locking with 2 Fingers On End | dark bluish gray | 2
Hinge Cylinder 1 x 2 Locking with 1 Finger and Axle Hole On Ends | black | 2
Minifig, Weapon Lance | black | 1
Hose, Soft 3mm D. 5L | black | 2
Hand | black | 2
Black Bar 1L with Clip Mechanical Claw | black | 1
If you build a double-pole between two paralell lines (8 studs between tracks), except the first two lots you need double quantities.
*The standard gabarite's height used by us is 18 bricks. The six 1×2×3 windows guarantee this height, If the track ballast's height is one brick, we use an another 1×2 brick under the windows.
(The original catenary pole design belongs Balázs Farkas, one of the HUNLTC members.)

While I agree in principle with the idea that there should be catenary masts and even wire, there is a point where you can just say it's too much effort and put it on the todo list for later. If everything has to be perfect we get less done, whereas incremental improvements encourage us along. Besides both those trains look like European prototypes which exist as diesel electrics as well as pure electrics so if the pantographs really bother you just take them off and build a bridge.

Proving that there's more to music in the High Country than après-ski singers doing Jimmy Buffett covers, the Vail-bred rap-rock quartet Sucker, Friday, December 15, at Tulagi, has spent the last three years establishing itself as one of the state's most promising live bands. Now based in Boulder, the group's energetic mix of reggae rhythms, hip-hop vocals and a snowboard- and skater-friendly ethos (plus the manic bounding of lead singer Scott Stoughton) provides a positive lyrical diversion from the current crop of rage-rockers. Sucker recorded its newest album, Get On Board, at Detroit's 54 Sound, with help from engineer Steve King (Kid Rock and Eminem), and has been busy spreading all that love from Kansas to California. The band returns to Boulder fresh from dates in Snowmass with the Beastie Boys' Mix Master Mike.

Google shifts Chrome account from BBH to 72andSunny
By Jeremy Lee, campaignlive.co.uk, Friday, 22 February 2013 11:31AM
Google has moved its global advertising account for its Chrome browser out of Bartle Bogle Hegarty and into 72andSunny.
BBH had worked on the brief for four years and positioned Chrome as a tool to unlock human potential, expressed through the idea "The web is what you make of it".
It created a series of films called "Chrome Stories", including one that told the story of how the 20-year-old entrepreneur Jamal Edwards launched his youth broadcasting website SB.TV and ended up signing a deal with Sony RCA.
In a statement, BBH said: "Our involvement with this project is coming to an end as Google has decided for operational reasons to embark on the next stage of the Chrome journey with an agency on their doorstep in California. This is end of our work on Chrome but we continue to work with Google on many other projects."

Vetstreet's Dr. Ernie Ward gives his opinion on a sensitive topic: Whether a vegetarian — or even vegan — diet is a good idea for pets.
As a long-time vegetarian vet, I'm often asked whether I feed my pets meat. I'm never certain whether it's an honest question or an attempt to trip me up. It's similar to being asked, "If you don't eat meat, where do you get your protein?"
My protein comes from the same place the animals people eat happen to get theirs — plants.
The simple answer is that dogs can do just fine on a carefully balanced vegetarian or vegan diet, while cats cannot. Sure, you can try to work around the whole cats-are-obligate-carnivores thing by supplementing certain synthetic amino acids, but it gets tricky — not to mention dangerous to the cat's health.
So the answer is yes for dogs, but no for cats.
The comment that I most often hear after I state that dogs can be fed a vegetarian or vegan diet is that canines do better on a meat-based diet. Again, I'm not going to argue. There aren't any studies that I'm aware of that have compared longevity and disease occurrence in dogs who've been fed meat versus canines on vegetarian diets.
Interestingly, one of the world's oldest dogs, Bramble, who lived to a reported 27 years old in the U.K., was never fed an ounce of meat by her strictly vegan owner.
I've heard it all before: "Dogs have obvious carnivorous traits." So do humans. "Their teeth are different." True again. "They're in the order Carnivora." So are panda bears, and the last time that I checked, they're herbivores who munch on bamboo to live.
You see, the real difference between an omnivore — a category that applies to both humans and canines — and an obligate carnivore is that a carnivore must obtain essential nutrients found only in meat. Omnivores can obtain essential nutrients from a wide variety of sources. Cats must consume certain essential amino acids found only in meat or they will die, but this is not the case for dogs — or humans.
I became a vegetarian for two main reasons: my health and my beliefs. As a member of a long line of Southern males who were overweight and died at early ages from coronary heart disease, I started to look for ways to avoid that fate. My beliefs coincided with my health revelation, when I became increasingly uncomfortable with the thought of eating my friends. (I'm not a wacko extremist; I'm simply concerned with how animals are treated.) But do these reasons apply to my dogs?
Point One: Is it healthier for my dogs to be fed a vegetarian diet? Maybe. Maybe not. There's simply not enough scientific data on canine vegetarian diets.
Point Two: Does my dog care how food animals are treated? Probably not, so I apply the same logic to them that I apply to young children — I must make that decision for them.
And here's where the real dilemma begins: At this time, we really don't have great choices when it comes to vegetarian or vegan diets for dogs. Sure, you can cook excellent vegetarian meals for your dogs, but it takes more than just time — you also need to commit to learn what will truly give your dog all the nutrients that he needs, and then properly follow through to ensure that he gets them. Without the guidance of a veterinarian, creating a fully balanced diet for your pet can be difficult.
I feed my dogs what I've been calling the "hybrid menu" for the past 14-plus years. I cook vegetarian meals for them one to three times a week, and then I feed them from a bag or a can the other days. Some excellent nonmeat protein sources for dogs include quinoa, rice, lentils, potatoes, soybeans, garbanzo beans, spinach and broccoli, to name a few.
I think pet owners should be more supportive of pet food companies that take a stand on the environment and humane farming practices by using humanely raised, free-range protein sources in their foods. Of course, this also means that consumers should be willing to pay more for such food.
This issue isn't just about what I feed my dogs. It's also about how we impact our world with the choices that we make to feed our pets and ourselves. If one person thinks about what they're pouring into their pet's food bowl after reading this, I'll be happy. If one person contacts a pet food company to check where it get its meat, I'll be ecstatic.

The Reds' No. 1 prospect stole four bases, giving him 50 in Double-A Pensacola as the Blue Wahoos beat the Mississippi Braves, 3-2, in 10 innings on Monday.
Hamilton finished with two hits and scored twice for the Blue Wahoos. After singling to open the 10th inning, the 21-year-old shortstop stole second base. After Josh Fellhauer lined out for the first out, Hamilton nabbed third base and came around to score the go-ahead run on Yordanys Perez's sacrifice fly with one out.
Since breaking the stolen-base record Aug. 21, Hamilton has shown no signs of slowing down, swiping seven bases in six games. He currently leads both the Southern League and the California League in steals and is 154-for-190 in attempts this season.
For perspective, Huntsville's Josh Prince is second on Hamilton's current circuit with 41 stolen bases despite playing 87 more games. Hamilton has had 13 games in which he's stolen multiple bases for the Blue Wahoos, including two games of four stolen bases.
Fellhauer was 2-for-5 with two RBIs. He sports a league-leading .317 for the Blue Wahoos.
Pensacola's Curtis Partch (7-4) earned the win after allowing a hit in an inning of relief. Chris Manno retired the final two batters of the game to earn his second save.

HMRC becomes first gov tentacle to buy cloud through G-Cloud
HMRC has become the first government department to sign a cloud contract through the G-Cloud, the government's online IT services catalogue. Yesterday HMRC signed the contract with Skyscape Cloud to migrate all the tax collectors' data to the cloud over the next six months. It's one of the biggest contracts to be awarded through …
"all the tax collectors' data"
Really? All of it? The whole bang shoot? Really?
I so wish I could be watching this from the safety of a different tax jurisdiction...
"1. PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES. The client must not use Skyscape's service for any of the following "
"•cause annoyance to subscribers or others;"
Well the tax dept. is in breach of the Skyscape T&C from the get-go
So that's what he's been up to!
So bye bye to FAPs and CAFs and no more back up tapes to be controlled.
First step to looking at consolidating and moving data centres to the 'Cloud'? (shudder!)
This is actually an efficiency saving
After all why expose just a partial data set by leaving a USB stick on a train/bus/back of a taxi. You won't even have to replace the lost one.
Re: This is actually an efficiency saving
Just don't forget to stick a password like '1234' on it - just to give a casual nod toward the concept of data security.
1) So when (not if) the whole thing goes tits-up will we all be fined for non-payment of taxes, even though we were unable to do so?
2) Does Skyscape Cloud have any US connections? If so I'm sure our 'friends' will be delighted to have access to all the country's finances.

Scott G. Winterton, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — Sen. Bob Bennett, R-Utah, will bring out the biggest weapon he has to help him at the Utah Republican Party convention: Mitt Romney.
"He will introduce the senator at the convention," said Jim Bennett, the senator's son and campaign manager.
Jim Bennett figures that should bring some electricity to the gathering because "he's the most popular political figure in the state of Utah, so we're glad to have him on our side."
Bob Bennett has been under strong attack by conservatives who feel that he is not conservative enough, and he is being challenged by seven Republicans running to his right. But Jim Bennett said Romney is well beloved by many conservative delegates who may still be undecided about Bob Bennett, and he hopes his endorsement will have power.
"Nine of 10 voted for him the last presidential primary here," Jim Bennett said. "He's been a strong supporter and wants to be as helpful as he can."
Jim Bennett said the campaign and Romney are still discussing what other events Romney may participate in that weekend. "But it is confirmed that he will attend the convention and introduce the senator," he said.
Of course, it will not be the first time Romney has helped Bob Bennett.
Romney attended a fundraiser in Utah last year for Bob Bennett, where he brought in an estimated $225,000. Bob Bennett also used footage from that event in ads.
Bob Bennett's campaign also rented a contact list from Romney's Free and Strong America PAC to help with fundraising and campaigning.
Of course, Romney, head of the 2002 Olympics in Utah and a presidential candidate in 2008, is expected to run for president again in 2012. Another 2012 potential presidential candidate, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, has also campaigned in Utah for Romney. But Bob Bennett has said he would support Romney for president if he runs.
Does the senator plan any other surprise appearances from supporters at the convention? "It wouldn't be a surprise if I told you," Jim Bennett said, but quickly added that nothing else has been arranged so far.
