EM Ceramics

Blogging from Halifax International Airport. Aside from the set backs of trying to keep this blog updated and cleaned up after a disaster with the page layout I will be adding new postings on EM technologies (Effective Microorganisms). EM has wide applications so I will be primarily interested in EM ceramics and applications to my current interests in water filter technology.

Essentially EM promotes healthy soil and water by creating the correct balance between different types of microbes. It is based on the theory that specific types of microorganisms tend to exist in certain proportions in healthy soil and in water.

 

Micro-organisms of EM work in Clay because clay is an electrically charged colloid which, when its electrical properties become dense, assumes the form of a template capable of duplicating information possessed by the microorganisms.

 

EM Ceramics effectively and efficiently bring about decomposition of organic matter and chemical substances that have found their way into drinking water. Despite the fact that municipal corporations spend vast sums on sewage treatment, chlorination and sludge are major causes of secondary pollution. EM Ceramics offers an inexpensive way of purifying water that does not create sludge, does not require the use of chlorine, and does not result in any form of secondary pollution.

Heading East

It's been 18 years since I have been on the Atlantic coast of Canada and I will be heading out that way today for 2 weeks. Can't wait to see how things have changed or haven't changed.

Going back to China??

Well it seems as though I will be going back to China in the fall. It was interesting how really it was just luck that got me this opportunity. I was searching the web one day and came across a google ad about teaching in China and just for the interest of the ad (not interested in teaching at all) I clicked it to see what was available these days. Low and behold I found an ad that a friend of mine placed looking for English teachers on noticing the contact info and webpage I decided to contact just to keep in touch and the next day I recieved two emails one from my friend and nother from the dean of the foriegn languages department seeking a Japanese instructor. As it turns out my friend who also works at teh college put my name in to the dean who was desperately looking for a Japanese teacher. Well I send my CV off and attached a statement saying that I am only of Japanese decent with a degree in Japanese and they still want me to come. I'm quite surprised because this is the college that doesn't normally hire teachers between semesters.Well I must be in demand when jobs come after me rather than me going after the job. It's nice to be known half way around the world. Now if only I can get a job in my own birth country -- Canada sucks. At least I'll be closer to Tibet!

Films

It's been awhile since i have posted here. Too many things to do and not enough hours in a day. I have been getting into film making rather casually it is a nice break from my regular job throwing pots all day. I should mention that I do not and I have no intention of throwing pots all day long. My pace is the way to go - it takes the strain off the back.
