Childrens Story Object Lesson John 3:1-17
John 3: 1-17 Starts off talking about having to be reborn.
In this object lesson children's address we use a chemical reaction to make oxygen that is used to make a match relight.
1
I started by reading John 3 : 1-5 which is the bit that mentions the born again / born of the spirit in order to see God.
2.
On a tray we have a tall glass and a larger jar to use as a waste bucket.
Need
Hydrogen Peroxise (From Chemist)
Bleach (From supermarket)
Matches.
3.
Pour Hydrogen peroxide into the jar. 5-10mm deep.
4.
Light the match and let it bun.
Actually helps that once it is burning, turn it so the unburnt bit is at the bottom. The flame keeps the burned bit red hot.
5.
Blow it out.
6.
Pour some bleach into the jar.
7.
Put in the match.
The oxygen will cause the red hot bit to light up.
Here it is re lit by the oxygen.
Note you can also use Pertassium Permngenate instead of bleach and this has the advantage of a slower and longer reaction.
There is also another recipe that uses aluminum foil. YouTube is your friend here.

Legacy Way Tunnel Walk
Megan, Chris, Jemma and I did the walk through the new Legacy Way tunnel.
About half way
At the end we waited for about an hour for busses.

PDF Edit Markup
I would like to edit a PDF. Looking for a program to mark up a PDF document.
The name brand program is Adobe Acrobat but this costs money and before I invest that way, I figured I would see if there are free or lower cost options.
1-11-2016 I did have a solution but forgot to record it here. Blast!

| Program | Cost | Notes | ||
| Foxit | Free | Can use typewrite tool and touch screen pen | ||
| Adobe Acrobat | Expensive | The name brand program | ||
| PDFArchitect | FREE | Theu have free and paid versions. http://www.pdfforge.org/pdfarchitect/download Installed BUT now internet explorer has become the default apoplication for opening PDFs Can't ADD text |
||
| PDFCreator | No | Just a print program. It installs on your PC and prenteds to be a printer. Just like CutePDF | ||
| Nitro | $US160 | |||

Solar
Trying to decide whether to go Solar.
What is the Cost Recovery For Solar?
What is the Payback Time For Solar?
The conclusion I come to is that it will take 10 years to pay off.
Current electricity Bill
Flexi saver CTL2 658kWH @ $0.18454/kWh = $121.43 HOT WATER OFF PEAK
Flexi Saver Peak 1896kWh @ $0.25378/kWh = $481.17
TOTAL (Ex GST) = $681.01
GST
TOTAL (Inc GST) 749.11
Why get solar? Well the obvious answer is "Everyone else has solar it's gotta be good"
Questions that fleet through my mind is
A) What is the feed in tarif?
B) How much money would I get back.
C) For a X kW System, how many kW does it actually generate and how many $ do I get back.
========================
I had a look at the bill from a person who's solar installation is described as 21 x 82.5W.
By my calculations this is 1732 Watts. Is this 1.5 or 1.7kW system?
Lets assume its a 1.5kW system.
I have two electricity bills.
Nov-Feb 2014 97 days 422kW
Nov-Feb 2015 90 days 322kW
Average 372
The Inverter is logged on a web site some how and reports between 6 and 8 kWh per day is produced.
lets say 7kWh/day as a rough rule of thumb. For 90 days this is 630kWh. But we are only being credited for 372. Now 372/630 = 0.6 so about 40% is going somewhere else. Perhaps that is the power being used during the day at home?
Now the feed in tarif new seems to be about 6c per kWh but some providers are offering up to 10c/kWh. Lets use 10c/kWh to make the maths easy.
372 x $0.10 = $37.20 per quarter ==> $148.80 per year.
If this system cost $1500 then it will take [about] 10 years to pay off.
Calculator
There is an online calculator here:

SOLAR HOT WATER
I suspect hot water may be easier than power to compare. We are spending $121 a quarter. This is $480 a year.
Bunnings offer online 315L tank and 2 or 3 panels $3400-$5000
As a first cut lets assume that a specialist company can do a deal that includes installation at this price. To keep the maths easy $480 x10 is $4800.
So I suspect 10 years to pay off the hot water.
