Only about half way through so still a way to go.

Some of the predications are scarily accurate (synthetic/processed foods, wireless technology and transport) but some are a bit off the mark. He thought electricity would be so cheap by 2030 that it would almost be free. 

 

It could've been if politicians stopped getting involved with it .

Wireless is what is known as what is now an old Wooden Radio either plugged into the wall or operated by battery to Broadcast information/ communications/ music - all advertising in its own way as advertising equals money!

This is in the 1920's era when Electricity was a newer invention as previously people used Gas Lamps or Candles from Beeswax 

The Eiffel Tower was one of the first means of where Electricity/ Energy and Broadcasting operated through back in the 1870-1880's ERA of The Telegraphy / Telegraph Act Legislation and Telegrams era now we have a different form of Telegram and Text interestingly is the same number of Letters as Telegrams used to be 

 

Herr Hermann Honnef invented Wind Turbines back in the midst of the 1930's ERA based on the Eiffel Tower and Dutch Windmill on top...look him up in Papers Past and weep at the cost he said Energy would be and sheer height of them - he wouldn't have known any better back in that era unlike Scientists/ Physics academics who should know better today.

Re Transport, Aeroplanes were designed on Flying Insects and Birds like Gulls  Drones originally on Drone Bees/ Wasps....Submarine designs were originally based on the design of Marine animals like Dolphins and whales .

 

We had Drones in our neighbourhood back in the 1970's believed to be operated by members of The Brethren Religion although could have been further afield by a relation of HJ Wells so we learnt all about his Novel ideas as children.

NZ is a very small place, as is the world.

 

It's a fun thing to look up what year certain words were first used in PPNZ and what context they originally were.

We just looked up "Mr Rain" and "Rain-making" history - it goes back to Gelignite and Dynamite.

University academics advise Politicians with their "research" - students have for around 40 years now been using Computers to do their work and cheating by Copy / Pasting answers...no critical thinking.

Oh for the days of Fire using Pine cones, fallen branches, a couple of coals and burning Rubbish to heat up the home.

People in general, especially Politicians don't understand Rule of Law hence all of the World's  messed up systems.

Once upon a time everyone knew The Road Code which worked perfectly fine then along came the Data Scientists telling Politicians to tell us we must Save lives and stuffed up the working systems, just like Glass Milk bottles because the Dustman cut himself so we could no longer have them...

Well bugger me, they've now worked out it might be a good idea to programme some R60 races!

Meeting News

Rating 60 Races

 

Rating 60 races have been well supported of late in terms of entry numbers. We have also seen a good spread of maiden and rated winners. It is noted that, in recent weeks, several maiden runners have been successful in R60 races.

Programming at present has that a maiden race is generally not scheduled at the same distance on the same day as a Rating 60 race. Moving forward, NZTR may look to split Rating 60 races as Rating 60 and Maiden races if numbers support.
