Standard Practice for Determination of Graffiti Resistance
Graffiti on building and structures is an ongoing and increasing problem. A number of coatings have been produced that are intended to be resistant to the application of a graffiti marking, or to provide a surface from which such markings can be easily removed. The procedures described in this practice provide a standard set of conditions that can be used to evaluate the graffiti resistance of a surface.

Electric Vehicle Charging
According to the New Zealand Transport Agency there were approximately 23,000 electric vehicles registered in New Zealand or about 1% of the total vehicle fleet. The government has set ambitious targets for electric vehicle adoption including build out of public charging stations in homes, workplaces, and public spaces. The cost of electricity for public charging stations is typically borne by a combination of public and private entities, with the specific arrangements varying depending on local policies and market conditions.
The Myth of Carbon Pollution
Selected Quotes:
…”The climate is always changing. It has never been stable…It is not going to stop changing if we stop changing CO2…“
…”CO2, far from being a pollutant is actually making the world a better place…”
“…Advice for Chicken Little: If the sky seems to be falling, look for the fox!…”
“…If you are being panicked and all you are panicky stories seeing in the media you ought to stop and think is it to somebody’s benefit? Cui Bono as they say in the law…”
“…Politics to slow CO2 emissions are based on flawed computer models which exaggerate warming by factors of 2 or 3. More CO2 is an overall benefit so costly “mitigation” schemes are harmful…”
Souls Without Longing
“Education is simply the soul of a society
as it passes from one generation to another”
— G.K. Chesterton
An introduction to the IEC
| The IEC was founded by a group of pioneers in the field of electricity and electrotechnology, including prominent figures such as Charles Le Maistre, Lord Kelvin (William Thomson), Emil Rathenau, Charles Steinmetz, and Thomas Edison. These individuals recognized the need for international standardization in the growing field of electrical engineering, as electrical technologies were rapidly advancing and becoming more prevalent around the world. The IEC was established as a non-profit organization with the goal of creating and promoting consensus-based standards that would be recognized and adopted globally. |
