The $1 billion mission to reach the Earth’s mantle | Borehole Hammer

- Net cash generated in financing activities during 2018 was $204 million, which was mainly related to the $330 million convertible bond issuance which was offset by $70 million in net repayment on the RCF and $24 million in interest payments.

The stamped buyback cards from different years are cool, but maybe TOO tough to pull. I bought 1 jumbo box and got 2 of them. One was a 1977 team checklist card of the Cardinals (which was cool) and one was a 2013 Roddy White card (not so cool).

I’m a fan of this release but I have found a purple parallel from a blister pack that I acquired. I can’t find any checklist information on these. Any word on them? Thanks!

Some of them are thriving, others are more inactive and are referred to as “zombies,” but either way, it’s clear that there is a colossal and concealed ecosystem of life hiding underground. The researchers describe the deep biosphere, quite understandably, as a “subterranean Galapagos.”

Presidential Celebration? If the Fantasy Focus insert set is still scheduled (not listed) and with the additions to the 1,000 and 4,000 yard clubs, we could have 370 inserts. And none of them appear to be numbered. Nothing makes collecting more fun than spending hours trying to alphabetize non-numbered cards. Also there seems to be a lot of Rookies in the 60th anniversary set. At least one who won’t even play this year.

“No one is to blame, it’s just part of farming – we have always been at the mercy of the weather.

How quickly a bit will dull varies on its application. In hard, abrasive rock, an operator can get as little as 200 feet out of a bit — compared to the experience of a top-hammer drill operator in Oklahoma who told Hissem he once got 50,000 feet out of one. How do you know when to change out a bit? Hissem advises doing so when the diameter of the flat area of a worn button on a bit exceeds one third of the base diameter of the button. He compares a flattened button to a pair of flat shoes, which spread the weight of the wearer across the bottom of the shoe. Whereas, a rounded button is like a pair of stiletto high heels, which transfer the weight to the surface in a very small area. The smaller the button area touching the surface, the greater the psi and rock-breaking stress brought to bear upon the rock surface. “You never get 100 percent of the energy applied to the bit into the rock. The best you can get is 95 percent, with 5 percent bouncing back,” he says. The point is, the sharper the bit, the less energy reflection you will get, and the faster the bit will cut the rock.

Boreholes play a vital role in public and private water supplies; in some cases, the same source has provided a reliable and cost effective supply of water for over a hundred years. However, like everything else, wells and boreholes don’t last forever and they benefit from a little love, care and understanding to ensure continued service and to maximise their efficiency. What follows is a practical guide to installing and rejuvenating a water supply borehole.

Best signing: George Ford – he won’t be around all year, as England commitments will keep him away from his new/old club, but Ford is one of the best 10s on the planet. He was not himself at Bath last year but rediscovered his touch in Argentina, now to boss the league again.
