Hi Matrix!

As you know in June I will be in your most amazing land known as middle earth to some!

As I have been sat here trying to plan my holiday in June to NZ I do have to say that i am quite amazed at how many hot Spring's are in NZ.  I'm in heaven thinking of the short trip I will have across the ditch but in saying so i can see your concern fully. 

Regarding your method of seeing things that may become future... I must ask whether you see NZ as a starting point of a Zipper that unzips the crust/rim of fire so to speak?

PS on a funny side in my searching NZ for my holiday I have found that I keep visiting hell.  Wanna Hot Spring, visit Hell's Gate, Want a Vegan Pizza, go to Hell Pizza... I'm surprised Christianity ever gained any traction with that sort of thinking  LOL

Hi Somma,

I think Kiwi Land is full of Questioning about many things..... hence those great pioneers,
such as William H. Pickering;

Biography
Scientist (c. 1910–c. 2004)
William Pickering was a rocket scientist who oversaw many American forays into space in the 1950-1970s.

Synopsis
In 1944, New Zealander William Pickering joined the Jet Propulsion Laboratory,
which he went on to direct (1954-76).

He oversaw the first orbit of the Earth by an American satellite (1958), the first American soft landings
on the Moon, the first mission to orbit Mars (Mariner IX) and the first missions to Venus and Mercury (Mariner X).
He received an honorary knighthood in 1976.

Profile
Rocket scientist, born in Wellington, New Zealand. He studied in the USA, and in 1944
joined the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which he went on to direct (1954-76).

the first mission to orbit Mars (Mariner IX) and the first missions to Venus and Mercury (Mariner X).

Ernest Rutherford

He is widely credited with first "splitting the atom" in 1917 in a nuclear reaction between nitrogen
and alpha particles, in which he also discovered (and named) the proton.

Sir Brian Gerald Barratt-Boyes who achieved fame in 1958 when he performed
New Zealand's first open-heart surgery at Green Lane Hospital, Auckland.

He assembled a team that was at the forefront of heart surgery and pioneered new surgical techniques
involving the replacement of defective heart valves.

Richard Pearse

Richard William Pearse (3 December 1877 – 29 July 1953) was a New Zealand farmer and inventor who performed pioneering experiments in aviation.

It is claimed Pearse flew and landed a powered heavier-than-air machine on 31 March 1903, some nine months before the Wright brothers flew their aircraft. The documentary evidence to support such a claim remains open to interpretation, and Pearse did not develop his aircraft to the same degree as the Wright brothers, who achieved sustained controlled flight. Pearse himself never made such claims, and in an interview he gave to the Timaru Post in 1909 only claimed he did not "attempt anything practical...until 1904"

Pearse himself was not a publicity-seeker and also occasionally made contradictory statements,
which for many years led some of the few who knew of his feats to offer 1904 as the date of his first flight.

The lack of any chance of industrial development, such as spurred the Wrights to develop their machine,
seems to have suppressed any recognition of Pearse's achievements.

Sir Charles William "Bill" Feilden Hamilton OBE (26 July 1899 – 30 March 1978)

Bill Hamilton

was a New Zealander who developed the modern jetboat, and founder of what is now the world's
leading water jet manufacturing company - CWF Hamilton Ltd.

Hamilton never claimed to have invented the jet boat. He once said "I do not claim to have invented
marine jet propulsion.

The honour belongs to a gentleman named Archimedes, who lived some years ago." What he did was refine the design enough to produce the first useful modern jet boat.

Scientists claimed his designs, involving lifting water out of a river and delivering it as a jet of water
out the back could not possibly work.

Today we have Hamilton Jet unites all over the world. I guess they were wrong.

Just a few of those Great Kiwis


Meanwhile;

Another Shallow Moderate Earthquake Only 5 km Deep has taken place 80 km west of Te Anau
with a magnitude of 3.6

Although these earthquakes are moderate it is the Shallowness of the Quakes which attracts my attention.

There have been hundreds of other Shallow Earthquakes recently but I have only mentioned those
categorised as being Moderate or Stronger !

Oddly Matrix...

As you know I work for 3d systems...

And this link is a great example of how Cashola buy's thinking.  It's really pitiful how this work's as this company may have only invented one thing in this list LOL

http://www.3dsystems.com/about-us

3DS invented 3D printing with its Stereolithography (SLA) printer and was the first to commercialize it in 1989.
3DS invented Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) printing and was the first to commercialize it in 1992.
3DS invented the Color-Jet-Printing (CJP) class of 3D printers and was the first to commercialize 3D powder-based systems in 1994.
3DS invented Multi-Jet-Printing (MJP) printers and was the first to commercialize it in 1996.

They bought Company's. 

Anyway yes Don't freak me out too much regarding shallow quake's when I am a month out from visiting

Felt that one. House bounced around for about 5sec then settled.

Thank you for your valued feedback...

Helps us to interpret the word "Moderate" used in the media.

Moderate quake would be motion felt but wouldn't shake the nerves.
