This document provides instructions for constructing a simple garden pond. It describes the necessary tools and materials, and gives step-by-step directions for laying out and digging the pond, lining it with polythene sheeting, pouring concrete around the edges, and filling it with water. It also includes tips for pond construction in colder climates and notes about local regulations regarding pond depth.
This course will examine design and installation considerations for large format ceramic and porcelain tile (LFT). It will define the sizing categories for tile, and will address opportunities and constraints unique to LFT as defined by ANSI standards and TCNA methods. It will address bonding pattern recommendations, acceptable warpage and lippage, and acceptable minimums &variation in grout joint width. The program will also take a close look at substrate preparation for LFT including substrate flatness tolerances. Finally, the program will provide information on the newly defined category of thin Gauged Porcelain Tile (GPT) and thin GPT slabs/panels, including an update on the new ANSI standards currently for this product category.

INTRODUCTION: The Turbo-Finish process (also referred to as Turbo-Abrasive Machining )imparts beneficial compressive residual stress to edges and surfaces. and as all critical features of the part are processed simultaneously, it can produce a stress equilibrium throughout the entire part. One of the signature advantages of the process is that it is capable of producing peening like metal surface improvement effects, while simultaneously developing isotropic surfaces and deburring and edge-contouring sharp edged features This combination of edge and surface effects can help extend part life on components by mitigating crack propagation.

INTRODUCTION: Turbo-Finish technology (also referred to as Turbo-Abrasive Machining) is a dry, high-speed spindle finishing process that utilizes abrasive fluidized bed technology, and high speed part rotation to develop extremely rapid and uniform edge and surface conditioning on aerospace, automotive and industrial parts. Polishing, deburring and edge radiusing are accomplished anywhere that the media can access. This finishing technology can develop isotropic surface finishes s while developing consistent round edges on any exposed sharp edged features.

https://bit.ly/BabeSideDoll4u Babeside is a company that specializes in creating handcrafted reborn dolls. These dolls are designed to be incredibly lifelike, with realistic skin tones and hair, and they have become increasingly popular among collectors and those who use them for therapeutic purposes. At Babeside, we believe that our reborn dolls can provide comfort and healing to anyone who needs it.
The Healing Power of Babeside's Handcrafted Creations
Our reborn dolls are more than just beautiful pieces of art - they can also help alleviate stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions. Studies have shown that holding or cuddling a soft object like a stuffed animal or a reborn doll can release oxytocin, which is often referred to as the "love hormone." This hormone helps us feel calm and relaxed, reducing feelings of stress and anxiety.
In addition to their physical benefits, reborn dolls can also offer emotional support. For many people, having something to care for and nurture can bring a sense of purpose and fulfillment. Reborn dolls can also serve as a reminder of happy memories or loved ones who have passed away.
Welcome to the Program Your Destiny course. In this course, we will be learning the technology of personal transformation, neuroassociative conditioning (NAC) as pioneered by Tony Robbins. NAC is used to deprogram negative neuroassociations that are causing approach avoidance and instead reprogram yourself with positive neuroassociations that lead to being approach automatic. In doing so, you change your destiny, moving towards unlocking the hypersocial self within, the true self free from fear and operating from a place of personal power and love.
1. Garden PondHOW TO CONSTRUCT A SIMPLE GARDEN POND
Tools
Spade or shovel
Concrete mixer, or wheel barrow for smaller ponds
Garden hose with spray nozzle
Bucket and hose water level or carpenters level
Materials
500 gauge polythene sheet (enough to line your size pond and extend at least 150mm
beyond the perimeter of the pond comfortably).
Fine builders mix and cement (a pond of 5 square metres will need .3 cubic metres of builders
mix and one and a half 40kg bags of cement).
An array of flat stones (enough to go neatly around the edge of the pond).
A can of spray paint for marking pond perimeter.
Instructions
1 Mark out your desired shape of the pond with a can of spray paint.
A Helpful Note from Ted about Extreme Conditions
For those of us in the Great White North [Canada], where temperatures vary greatly, the
pond - especially if being used for fish and plants should be at a depth of 900mm with a
shelf area for some species of plants at approximately 300mm from the top. Although in
Canada, this will not stop the pond from becoming a large ice cube, it will prevent broiled
fish in the summer from excessive heat. Again, in northern climes, one would have to add
wire mesh to keep the pond together. A far better solution would be to use the heavy
rubberised liners that are available for fish ponds, eliminating the need for cement. As for
the pump - if you are adding one for aeration or a decorative waterfall, that will do the trick.

AnotherNote:
2. In some places, pools deeper than 400mm need to be fenced and need a permit. Check
with your local Authority.
2 Check the ground height along your marked line about every 600mm. You want these
points level with each other. You can do this by using our bucket and hose water level
method. For instructions on how to make and use a bucket and hose water level see next
pages.
Using a spade level out the marked line, following around the perimeter of the pond. Dig
about 200mm wide and 50mm below existing ground level at the lowest point.
This is now the shelf around the perimeter of the pond and is where the flat stones will be
placed once the concrete has been poured.
3 Dig the pond out from the pond shelf, sloping gradually down to the centre (saucer shaped)
to a maximum depth of 400mm. If the pond has the capability of a water depth greater than
400mm (16 inches) then it is required to be fenced in accordance with the Fencing of
Swimming Pools Act 1987. (New Zealand)
Lay the polythene on the bottom of the pond and up over the pond shelf leaving at least
150mm spill past the pond edge.
4 Lay the flat stones temporarily around the shelf of the pond to ensure they fit in place and
that you have enough. Remove them out of the way about 300 - 400mm from the shelf edge,
until the concrete is poured.
5 CONCRETE In a concrete mixer, (or wheel barrow for small pond) mix four parts fine
builders mix, to one part of cement. Pour enough clean water to the mix, to make a fairly stiff
mixture. If the mixture is too dry add more water. If the mixture it too wet, add more builders
mix and cement to the same ratio as above.
Spread the concrete over the entire polythene liner starting at the bottom of the pond, and
finishing up at the pond shelf. The concrete should be at least 50mm thick. Use a block of
wood for a trowel, as the edges on a conventional trowel are too sharp and likely to pierce the
polythene liner.
6 Lay the flat stones around the edge of the pond shelf, pushing them slightly into the
concrete.
3. A large overhanging flat stone, strategically placed, can provide shade for fish, but be sure it
is fixed firmly in place, and capable of taking any weight which might be placed on it later.
7 After a couple of hours (more or less depending on the weather or temperature) the
concrete should be stiff enough to allow the pond to be filled with water.
When filling, place an old sheet, piece of polythene or similar in the pond, so the flow of water
does not scour the concrete.
After filling remove the sheet, and leave the pond to set for about a week. After the week is
up, empty and refill the pond three or four times to reduce alkaline level.
water levelHOW TO MAKE AND USE A BUCKET AND HOSE WATER LEVEL
Material Requirements
You will need a standard plastic bucket and 12 metres of 6 mm nylex clear plastic
tube. (Both items can be purchased from any major building suppliers, and should
cost under $20).
Instructions
1. Drill a hole in the bucket 50mm up from the bottom. The hole size should be
slightly smaller than the plastic tube.
2. Slice one end of the plastic tube about 50mm down. Fig 1 This enables the tube
to be threaded into the slightly smaller hole in the bucket. Fig 2
3. Pull the tube from the inside of the bucket until tight. Fig 3
4. How to use
a bucket and hose water-level
Place the bucket on a saw stool or chair and fill to the top with water.
The height of the bucket does not matter.
Let the hose loose on the ground until water is running out freely and all the air
bubbles have come through.
Method 1
This method is good for profiles, high decks, high retaining walls, etc.
Pick up the end of the hose and hold it against Post (A). Fig 4
Mark the post where the water line shows in the hose.
This becomes the datum line (not the known required height).
Mark the datum height on the house, post (B), and post (C) in the same way.
You now have a level datum line on all four objects, but you want to trim the top of
the posts to the same height as the known required height on the house. Shown in
Fig 4
You do not need the water level any more.
Simply measure up from the datum height marked on the house to the known
required height, also marked on the house. Transfer this measurement to posts (A),
(B) and (C), measuring up from the datum height marked on each post.
You now have a level line from the known required height on the house, through to
post (A), (B) and (C).
Method 2
This method is good for low profiles, low decks, low retaining walls, for finding level
heights for ponds and pools, ground contours, etc.
5. Pick up the end of the hose and hold in against a piece of rod held upright on area
(A). Fig 5
Mark a pencil line on the rod where the water line shows in the hose.
Walk down the hill and do the same over area (B).
You will now have two pencil marks on the rod. Whatever the distance measures
between the two marks, is also the distance area (A) will need to be dug down to be
level with area (B).
