Why the project
What it means for residents
We've tried to include extensive information for you on our website and in our FAQs, but if you can't find what you're looking for feel free to contact us.
What's the purpose of this work?
This project is aiming to show how blending renewable hydrogen with natural gas can reduce carbon emissions and deliver affordable, reliable, safe and cleaner energy to our customers.
Our renewable gas production facility is known as Hydrogen Park South Australia (HyP SA) at the Tonsley Innovation District. From HyP SA we'll be producing renewable hydrogen. Hydrogen is better for the environment because it does not release carbon emissions when burnt.
Using the existing gas network, we'll then supply around 710 properties near HyP SA with a blend of up to 5% renewable hydrogen and natural gas over the next five years.
Residents involved in the project have been informed and won't experience any change in their current services gas and won't pay any more than if they were receiving 100% natural gas. The blended gas is also as safe as the current natural gas supply.

AGN is a proud supporter and contributor to Gas Vision 2050, a collaboration amongst the gas sector aiming to achieve a cleaner energy future for Australia while enhancing our national prosperity.
We are leading the way in terms of decarbonising gas supply.
What experience does AGN have in the community?
AGN has a long history serving South Australians. Our origins date back over 150 years to when the South Australian Gas Company was formed in 1861.
We're experts in building and operating gas pipelines to deliver gas safely and reliably to our customers. We will call upon this experience for this project.
Why is AGN pursuing this project?
AGN, and AGIG more widely, actively support Gas Vision 2050 which is a collaboration of energy companies examining how gas can work with renewable sources of energy to achieve a near-zero-carbon energy sector.
The main aim of this project is to demonstrate how blending renewable hydrogen with natural gas allows us to lower carbon emissions and still deliver energy safely and reliably, while balancing price.
Renewable hydrogen has other benefits in that it can be used to generate electricity, to fuel vehicles and there is a growing demand for it overseas, meaning it can underpin a substantial new industry and jobs.
A 5% hydrogen blend is the first step to lowering carbon emissions. We are also pursuing more projects, aiming to blend up to 10% hydrogen in South Australia and across the other regions we serve before considering 100% conversion.
About Hydrogen Park South Australia (HyP SA)
What is HyP SA?
Hydrogen Park SA (HyP SA) is the name of the facility where we will produce hydrogen from renewable electricity and water using a process known as electrolysis.
The renewable hydrogen will then be blended with natural gas and supplied into our existing distribution network at volumes of no more than 5%, providing lower-carbon gas to homes and businesses.
HyP SA will also supply industrials via tube trailers (long storage tubes on the back of semi-trailers). This is complementary to the supply of up to 5% renewable gas to Mitchell Park and will not impact the demonstration in any way.
What renewable electricity will be used at HyP SA?
Electricity will be purchased from the South Australian electricity network. We will also purchase sufficient quantities of Large-scale Generation Certificates (LGCs) to offset the electricity used and ensure the 5% hydrogen blended with natural gas is renewable.
Will hydrogen be stored at HyP SA?
Yes. A small amount of hydrogen (approximately 40kg) will be stored onsite at the Tonsley Innovation District in a purpose built vessel.
Information for Residents in Mitchell Park
If I live in Mitchell Park will I receive the 5% renewable blended gas?
If you live south of Alawoona Ave in the area bounded by Alawoona Avenue, the railway line, Sturt Creek and Sturt Road, you're likely to be in the area. The below map highlights the blended gas project area.
Map of demonstration area.
Do I have to receive the blended gas?
Yes, if your property is within the zoned area of the project you will receive the blended gas via the existing gas network.
Will I have to do anything to receive the 5% renewable blended gas?
You do not need to do anything at all. The blended 5% renewable gas will automatically be supplied to your property.
The South Australian Government recommends that you have your gas appliances serviced every two years by a licensed gas fitter. If you live in the project area, project, you may electare eligible to havefor a free Gas Appliance Efficiency Audit, valued at $200.
An audit can ensure gas cooking and heating appliances are running safely and efficiently to help to lower gas bills.
To check if you are eligible for an audit, contact the project team. Terms and conditions apply.
How will I know when I start receiving the 5% renewable blended gas?
You will start receiving the 5% renewable hydrogen gas blend in the first quarter of 2021for an initial period of five years. Register here to get the latest updates on HyP SA's start date
Will the 5% renewable gas blend affect my bills?
There will be no change to the price you pay as a result of receiving blended 5% renewable gas. Customers will pay the same amount as if they were receiving 100% natural gas.
You may notice a slight change to volume of gas received and to the Pressure Correction Factor on your bill. We have altered the Pressure Correction Factor to ensure you pay no more than customers receiving 100% natural gas.
Any arrangements you have in place with your gas retailer will continue, including receiving your gas bill in your usual billing cycle.
Can the existing gas pipes in the project area safely receive the blended gas?
Yes. The gas network running through Mitchell Park can accommodate the 5% renewable gas blend.
Will the gas flame look any different?
The blended gas contains 5% renewable hydrogen which is not expected to change the color of the flame.
Both natural gas (methane) and hydrogen are colorless gases, however when burnt, natural gas turns blue while pure hydrogen remains invisible.
In the unlikely event you do notice a change in your gas flame, it will most likely be caused by impurities in the air at that point.
Will there be any new equipment in Mitchell Park for this project?
Our contractors will need to carry out some minor work on the gas network in Mitchell Park before the blended gas flows begin. Otherwise, no new equipment or appliances will be needed.
Appliances and Safety
Will my appliances be safe during the project?
Yes, your appliances will continue to work safely and reliably on blended 5% renewable gas as 100% natural gas.
The characteristics of the blended 5% renewable gas are consistent with the specifications set out in the Australian Standards for natural gas.
Any appliances sold in Australia are subject to testing to ensure they work safely and reliably with natural gas. They are tested with varying gas compositions to account for the varying sources of natural gas supplied around Australia. One such "limit" gas already contains 13% hydrogen, and therefore all certified household gas appliances sold in Australia have undergone a range of safety tests with this level of hydrogen.
We have also undertaken our own appliance testing program in which an Australian certified laboratory tests Australian appliances with various percentages of hydrogen. Initial test results indicate that appliances will work safety and reliably with a 5% renewable hydrogen blend.
This is consistent with literature and international projects which are supplying up to 20% hydrogen blends.
As a benefit of being part of this project, we are offering residents in the demonstration area an opportunity to have a free gas appliance audit to ensure your gas appliances are installed correctly and working safely and efficiently. Contact us to register your interest in the appliance audit.
About HyP SA
How is hydrogen made?
We will make hydrogen using an electrolyser, which splits water into hydrogen and oxygen using electricity. The process by which this occurs is known as electrolysis. The electrolysis process separates the atoms of hydrogen and oxygen which are then reformed back into water vapour when you burn it, releasing energy as heat.
This process has been around for a long time, first appearing in the 1800s and electrolysers are in used around the world today.
What equipment is required at HyP SA?
The key piece of equipment at HyP SA is the 1.25MW Siemens PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane) electrolyser. This equipment will use electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. Siemens has installed a number of these units across the world. These units are efficient and reliable, produce high purity hydrogen, and are low maintenance.
Other equipment at Tonsley include:
electrical supply transformers and switches
water and hydrogen purification equipment
hydrogen/natural gas blending equipment
gas quality analysis equipment
Which local water resource is being used?
We will connect to the SA Water network to source water for this facility.
There is no interaction between HyP SA and the water network and water table. Water is simply delivered to site as you would have it delivered to your house.
How much water will be used to produce the renewable hydrogen?
The water volumes consumed to produce hydrogen are very low: 300 litres per hour, or the equivalent of a 30 minute shower using a low flow shower head.
For context, converting all gas supplied via the South Australian gas network to hydrogen using electrolysis would result in an increase in the state's water consumption of around 2%.
How will the Hydrogen be stored?
HyP SA will store the hydrogen on site in a purpose-built vessel.
HyP SA can produce about 20 kg of hydrogen per hour. On average, we will produce 40 to 60 kg per day for supply to customers using our distribution network. We will also have the capacity to store approximately 40 kg on site.
What else could the hydrogen be used for?
HyP SA will also supply to industrials and transport via tube trailers (long storage tubes on the back of semi-trailers). This is complementary to the supply of up to 5% renewable gas to Mitchell Park and will not impact the demonstration in any way.
We are also considering supplying hydrogen to transport markets, with hydrogen vehicles being considered as an important technology to reduce emissions from the transport sector as part of South Australia's Electric Vehicle Action Plan under development.
About Blended 5% Renewable Gas
What does the 5% renewable blended gas consist of?
The gas blend will consist of 5% renewable hydrogen and natural gas.
The hydrogen produced at HyP SA is a renewable gas because it is produced from water and renewable electricity (we will purchase and surrender Large-scale Generation Certificates (LGCs) to offset the amount of electricity used and ensure the 5% hydrogen blend is renewable).
Will the 5% renewable hydrogen component increase?
No, we will not go beyond 5% renewable hydrogen blend for the five year duration of the project.
Why is the renewable hydrogen level set at 5%?
Although projects overseas are injecting up to 20% hydrogen, 5% has been identified as an appropriate first step in our transition, showing how we can use existing hydrogen production technology in South Australia to move towards delivering cleaner energy.
Outside of this project, we will look to increase volumes of renewable gas supplied via our networks and reduce carbon emissions.
How will you ensure the correct blend is maintained?
A blending unit will be installed at the HyP SA facility to add renewable hydrogen to the existing natural gas supply as it flows into the Mitchell Park network.
This equipment will be designed and installed by specialists to make sure:
the blend rate of 5% is not exceeded
the gases are mixed effectively
gas supply is always maintained to customers.
Hydrogen and Safety
Is the use of hydrogen as safe as natural gas?
Blending of up to 5% renewable hydrogen with natural gas poses no greater risk than our 100% natural gas networks.
Development Approval has been granted for the HyP SA facility, and all other necessary approvals will be in place before first production and injection of blended gas into our distribution network.
Hydrogen is flammable as with all other fuels, and is used safely throughout Australia and the world in accordance with guidelines. We are highly experienced at safely operating gas infrastructure.
Why did we stop using Towns Gas, which contained hydrogen, in the 1970s?
From 1861 until 1969, South Australians relied upon Towns Gas to meet demand. Towns Gas was manufactured from coal and consisted of 50-60% hydrogen. Some places such as Hong Kong and Singapore still rely on Towns Gas.
We switched from Towns Gas upon the discovery of natural gas, because natural gas was considered more reliable and economic. Today we know that blended gas is the first step towards lowering carbon emissions and that the cost of producing hydrogen is decreasing.
Does the gas blend make the gas more dangerous?
The blended 5% renewable gas will pose no greater risk than using 100% natural gas. The characteristics of blended gas remain consistent with the Australian Standard for natural gas supply.
Like natural gas, Hydrogen is flammable – it is the ability to burn that makes it so useful in providing energy.
Pure hydrogen has a wider flammability range of concentrations in air (4%-75% hydrogen in air), compared with natural gas (5-15%). When blended in small amounts with natural gas, this does not have a significant impact on the flammability range. Hydrogen is also lighter than natural gas meaning it disperses more quickly, which helps to reduce the potential for explosion.
Hydrogen is invisible and doesn't smell, how will we know if there is a leak?
Neither hydrogen nor natural gas smell in their normal state.
Natural gas supplied via the gas network contains a special odorant to give it its distinctive smell, so that leaks can be detected. Adding some hydrogen to natural gas will not change the effectiveness of the odorant. If there is a leak, you will still detect the 'natural gas' smell.
If you smell natural gas, report the leak immediately by calling the 24-hour 1800 GAS LEAK (1800 427 532).
There are also other routine gas safety measures in place on the gas network, including regular leak detection surveys, which use specialist equipment. These surveys will continue in the project zone as is normal in the rest of the network.
What systems are in place to ensure safe storage and production of hydrogen?
We have extensive experience in operating gas infrastructure safely and will ensure hydrogen is produced and handled safely through:
Safety systems installed to monitor the plant's operating parameters
Continuous monitoring of the plant from our Operations Control Room, with the ability for remote shut-down
Emergency systems in place to ensure the plant shuts down safely if a problem is identified
Leak detection and response systems
Gas Safety Advice
Will the gas safety advice be different when hydrogen is added?
Gas safety advice for customers remains the same during the project. The number you call during an emergency remains the same at 1800 GAS LEAK (1800 427 532).
What happens if the gas pipes fail?
The introduction of hydrogen into our network will not cause our gas pipes to leak. On occasion gas pipes do leak for other reasons though, such as damage from tree roots or damage by someone hitting the main.
Should a leak occur in the project area, our response and safety procedures remain the same.
Hydrogen use Around Australia and the World
Where else in Australia is hydrogen technology being used?
Hydrogen has long been used in Australia as a fuel for industry (such as steel making and fertilisers) and for oil refining.
In recent years, using hydrogen as a direct energy source has gained momentum around the word, as we look to transition away from fossil fuels to carbon-free alternatives.
In mid-2017, the South Australian Government worked with industry to develop a Hydrogen Roadmap for potential investors and to guide the development of South Australia's hydrogen economy. This was updated in mid-2019 as South Australia's Hydrogen Action Plan.
In late-2019, all Australian Governments agreed to sets a path to build Australia's hydrogen industry through the National Hydrogen Strategy. Under the leadership of Australia's Chief Scientist, Dr Alan Finkel, the Strategy recognises hydrogen's ability to decarbonise gas, power and transport and to underpin a new growth sector, with jobs and wider economic benefits.
It is timely for us to pursue hydrogen now, as the need to decarbonise grows and as the costs of technology (such as electrolysers) are reducing.
What are other hydrogen projects in Australia?
There is a strong interest in hydrogen in Australia. In addition to releasing the National Hydrogen Strategy, the Government is committed to fast tracking renewable hydrogen projects through their Technology Investment Roadmap which is targeting reduced production costs.
In early-2020, the Australian Renewable Energy Agency announced it would provide up to $70 million in funding for renewable hydrogen projects which will lead to a range of new projects being developed over the coming years.
We are pleased to be leading the way in renewable hydrogen in Australia. HyP SA will be an Australian first and globally significant project when it comes online in spring 2020. Our other projects include:
Hydrogen Park Gladstone – A 175kW electrolyser to produce renewable hydrogen for blending with natural gas (10%) and supply to the entire network of Gladstone, including industry. First production expected 2022.
The Australian Hydrogen Centre – A virtual centre delivering feasibility studies for 10% and 100% blending of renewable hydrogen into towns and cities in South Australia and Victoria.
DBP Feasibility Study – An 18 month study into the technical feasibility of introducing hydrogen into our Dampier to Bunbury Natural gas Pipeline.
Other hydrogen projects currently in planning and development stages in Australia include, but are not limited to:
The Western Sydney Green Gas Project in New South Wales, a 500kW electrolyser producing hydrogen for injection into gas network and refuelling.
The Clean Energy Innovation Hub in Western Australia which will produce, store and use hydrogen in a commercial scale micro grid.
The Evoenergy and Canberra Institute of Technology Hydrogen test facility.
You can view a list of projects at the 'Australian Hydrogen Projects and Research Centres' portal here.
Where else around the world is Hydrogen used?
Hydrogen as a clean energy source is already being used in Japan, South Korea, China, Europe, and the United States, both as 100% hydrogen and blended with natural gas:
A project in Amerland in the Netherlands was safely undertaken to blend hydrogen at up to 20% volume into their natural gas grid for use by domestic consumers
A trial was successfully carried out by E.ON Technologies in the Klanxbüll/Neukirchen region of Germany where around 170 gas customers were supplied with a natural gas blend containing up to 10% volume hydrogen
The GRHYD project in France involves blending up to 20% volume hydrogen into natural gas to deliver to around 100 domestic customers and a hospital
In the UK, the HyDeploy project will blend 20% hydrogen to two project areas of 750 customers in 2020
The UK are also undertaking studies on the full conversion of gas networks to 100% hydrogen
South Korea plans to establish three hydrogen cities by 2022 that will use hydrogen for the city's cooling, heating, transport and electricity supply, and wants 10% of cities by 2030 and 30% by 2040 to follow this model.
Several countries such as Japan, South Korea have hydrogen strategies outlining hydrogen use in sectors such as transport, power generation and businesses and homes
The upcoming Tokyo Olympics are being framed as the 'Green Olympics' and will reportedly rely on hydrogen to power vehicles and to potentially for the Olympic Torch
Who is Responsible for the Project
Who is involved with the project?
AGN has ultimate responsibility for building and operating the project.
We are supported by:
The South Australian Government which has provided $4.9 million for the project
APA Group which works on our networks on our behalf – you may see APA staff in your street working on the network
Siemens which is supplying the electrolyser
Valmec and GPA, which will design and construct the HyP SA facility
KPMG which assisted us to develop the initial project proposal
How are AGN's operations regulated?
Our service to customers and the community in terms of technical and service aspects are regulated by the Office of the Technical Regulator (OTR), and Essential Services Commission of South Australia (ESCOSA). Our economic regulator is the Australian Energy Regulator.
Will There be Any Changes to the Existing Gas Network?
Are there any works to the existing gas network that need to occur?
Over the coming months you will notice the hydrogen production unit and other supporting equipment being constructed at HyP SA within the Tonsley Innovation District.
You may have noticed some works occurring at the corner of McInerney Avenue and Sturt Road to isolate/separate the existing gas network and at the eastern end of Alawoona Avenue to install a new valve. This work was undertaken to isolate the demonstration area which allows us to ensure a consistent blend of 5% renewable hydrogen is supplied to consumers in the demonstration area and to allow us to engage directly and meaningfully with these customers.
There has also been site works happening at the HyP SA site in the Tonsley Innovation District.
Will the existing gas infrastructure network cater for hydrogen?
All of the pipes in the project zone, as well as the majority of our South Australian network, are new generation polyethylene and are suitable for transporting up to 100% hydrogen. This project will only have a maximum 5% renewable hydrogen blend.
The Long-Term Plan of the Project
If I don't live in the zoned area of the project, can I still receive the blended 5% renewable gas?
Not at this stage, only those within the project zone will receive the blended 5% renewable gas.
We are however actively pursuing other hydrogen developments, so it won't be too long before more customers are receiving a renewable hydrogen blend.
What are the longer terms plans for AGN to roll this out across South Australia and around Australia?
Our Vision is to deliver a 10% renewable gas blend to customers by 2030 and ultimately 100% renewable gas to all customers on our networks. This project is the first step in achieving this Vision.
We are actively pursuing additional hydrogen projects with a view to blending more hydrogen into our South Australian and other Australian networks. The next project we will deliver is Hydrogen Park Gladstone which will deliver up to 10% renewable hydrogen to customers on the Gladstone network.
Our Australian Hydrogen Centre will conduct feasibility studies into 10% blending and 100% conversion of our South Australian and Victorian networks. We are also active participants in the Future Fuels Cooperative Research Centre, the National Hydrogen Strategy and in the Technology Investment Roadmap, with a view to progressing the hydrogen industry.
What happens to the project in mid 2025?
The initial project period is for five years. At this time, the project benefits will be assessed with consideration given to the future supply of blended gas to residential areas.
Beyond 2025 we may consider continuing to blend hydrogen into the project area, to different or expanded parts of our network, and supplying hydrogen to other markets such as transport and industry.
We will engage with our project partner the South Australian Government, customers, and stakeholders before this occurs.

This is really amazing because he smashed the car into the store at morning and didn't even touch anything, isn't it strange a person can sell his kidney to buy an iPad 2 but this guy smashed everything and had a chance to take any Apple Product but he ran.Well, this story doesn't end here..
Police described the suspect as a white male wearing a white shirt and hooded mask. According to 107.5 KZL, a security guard said the suspect was wearing a white ninja suit. Police said the car involved in the accident was reported stolen around 6 a.m. There was only one person inside the vehicle .
But it's said to be an robbery activity… The guy was mad !!

"I understand Sarah Palin spoke here last year. I admire her," Ditka said about the former vice presidential candidate. "She's a great lady, mother and wife, and that's more important than the (expletive) the media spreads about her."
At this point, we imagine Journal Star reporter/lamestream media member Steve Stein, who wrote the story on Ditka's address, began salivating at the material gave him. Good thing, too, since after delivering that line, Ditka immediately left in order to beat God at golf.
Earlier, Ditka said he admired [Abraham] Lincoln "because he never strayed from his convictions, unlike today's politicians[.]"
Well, no argument there, for us or pretty much anyone else. And no surprise, really, re: Palin. Ditka once considered running for Senate in Illinois as a Republican in 2004 (his opponent, of course, would have been this guy), and even campaigned for John McCain and Palin in 2008. Since Palin equals automatic controversy, people will undoubtedly have a few things to say about Ditka's endorsement, but a look into the guy's history (and let's face it, a wild guess even if you didn't know) shows it didn't reveal anything we didn't already know.

Written by Peter Boehringer, initiator of the German campaign "Repatriate our Gold".
Frequent followers of the German public campaign "Repatriate our Gold" already know how intensively we have been struggling since 2011 (and longer) with Deutsche Bundesbank to finally – after more than 50 years of external storage of Germany's gold – get credible transparency regarding this matter. Some progress was brought about recently (2012 disclosure of the whereabouts of Germany´s gold by BuBa; 2013 partial repatriation plan announced by BuBa; 2013 and ongoing through 2015 alleged physical repatriation of approximately 200 tons to date – equaling approximately 10% of Germany's gold abroad). But real proof and transparency is still lacking from Bundesbank's side!
For the umpteenth time in 47 years, BuBa yesterday pretended to give transparency regarding Germany's gold – but again failed miserably. I hereby challenge both BuBa's Mr Weidmann and Mr Thiele and Bloomberg's Mr Lorcan Roche Kelly to either withdraw their apodictic and loud but still completely unproven propaganda statement "Here is our gold – finally do believe it you stupid gold bug nutcases!!" – or to prove their so far unfounded and factually wrong statement!
Firstly, I am asking journalists and interested readers to open the 2,300 page long "custodian gold holdings – bar list" document : Everybody can see at first glance that the very first column of the "gold bar" list starting on page 7 is headlined "INVENTORY number" rather than "Producer's Bar number". An "INVENTORY number" however is something COMPLETELY different than the "Producer's bar number"! It is a number artificially created on paper or a plastic sticker by the respective central bank which has nothing to do / no connection with the unique producers' bar number pressed on the bars physically by the refineries when a bar is cast! The difference is absolutely CRUCIAL in that the very point of having a REAL gold bar number list is to enable a critical global public of gold experts and independent auditors as well as us-the-people and owners of the gold to check every individual bar not only regarding its physical existence but also to detect double countings on OTHER balance sheets (from central banks, Gold-ETFs, etc.)! The artificial and highly unusual "INVENTORY bar number" method Bundesbank has chosen to now publish "a gold bar list" completely fails in that respect. This list is worthless as a basis for sound, physical and worldwide auditing and counterchecking of all available global bar lists in order to detect and avoid double countings. We hereby claim that this approach by BuBa and its "sub-custodians" (Banque de France, Bank of England and Federal Reserve) was a DELIBERATE smokescreen chosen to confuse the worldwide public without providing transparency! This approach cannot be excused in any way by Bundesbank's very "honest" fine print for the list: "The Bundesbank, the Bank of England and the Banque de France use internally assigned inventory numbers, whereby the Bank of England and the Banque de France only allow part of this internal number to be published. The gold bar list therefore only shows the last three digits for its gold bars stored at the Bank of England and the Banque de France." This is NO industry-standard bar number list – individual bars could only be unambiguously identified if Bundesbank had provided the producer's bar numbers as well as the name of the producing refinery as well as the year the bars have been cast! "Repatriate our gold" hereby officially demands this additional information which should be very easy for Bundesbank to publish!
2. Why and how many bars in list newer than 1968?
Secondly, we challenge the Bundesbank to explain why with almost 100% certainty the REAL bar number list as detailed under 1. would NOT exclusively consist of bars produced in the 1950s and 1960s – ending exactly in 1967 or 1968 latest. Since 1968, Germany's gold hoard should have been completely untouched with one or two possible exceptions due to lendings on a very small scale according to BuBa's own statements in the past. We-the-owners of the gold demand to know whether, why, and how many of Germany's bars (if actually existent and uncompromised) are younger than 1968 in BuBa's vaults or the vaults of our sub-custodians. And how it is possible that (according to the list released yesterday) almost all bars are of 995 or higher fineness – even though pre-1967 this fineness had been rather uncommon especially in the US. And why – since obviously LBMA-standards are now met by practically all bars in the new list – Bundesbank still chose to melt down bars allegedly repatriated from the US in 2013-2014 (thereby destroying old bar numbers) without any photo / video proof of this process?
Once all of these very valid and justified questions are not only answered verbally but backed up by clear evidence (i.e. a REAL bar number list!) – the work will only have to begin: The Federal reserve has not published any information regarding a real audit in its vaults (US-gold or custodial gold) since 1953 – one might even say since the 1930s! Similar story at the BoE and BdF vaults and even in Frankfurt! "Holt unser Gold heim" / "Repatriate our Gold" continues to demand physical and external audits performed by sworn-in auditors independent from the central banks – with all detailed results publicised. In addition, we demand the acceleration of Bundesbank's "repatriation scheme" announced in 2013 – which is way too intransparent, too slow and not ambitious enough (only 50% of Germany´s gold in Frankfurt by end-2020)!

This was one of my earliest ones and it freaks people out the most.
RE: How and when did your Joints Start Cracking?
As long as i can remember, since I was a little kid. It was never on purpose. It just started with cracking with normal movement. My parents and grandparents did too.
RE: Which Joint "Cracking" term do you prefer to use?
RE: Ever have pain instantly gone after a crack?
Oh yes, all the time. That worries me since I have pain that lasts sometimes and can't crack the joint.

How Many Homeless Have Died From Hypothermia in Denver?
Chris Walker December 21, 2016 7:24AM
During Westword's reporting on homelessness, we've attended Denver City Council meetings and other gatherings where people have thrown out numbers regarding the homeless dying from exposure to cold weather (medically known as "environmental exposure" or hypothermia) as wide-ranging as twelve deaths per year to 800 deaths per year in Denver County.
The city has maintained that it has shelter space for everyone who needs it and that during emergencies, like large winter storms, it opens up recreation centers to accommodate extra demand.
Some people experiencing homelessness elect not to use shelters for a variety of personal reasons, however. And according to critics of the city's urban-camping ban, these are the individuals who are being put into life-threatening situations by police enforcement of the ordinance.
But how many homeless people have really died on the streets specifically because of the elements?
Westword made a request to the Denver Office of the Medical Examiner to find out.
According to Steven Castro, the operations supervisor and custodian of records, there have been eight homeless individuals who have died of hypothermia since February 2015. The most recent death was in April 2016.
But Castro also says that it can take inspectors up to two months to determine if a body belongs to someone who is deemed "homeless" — that is, without a permanent place of residence at the time of their passing.
That means that there could be additional homeless individuals who have died within the last sixty days.
As for the eight confirmed individuals, each was found to have succumbed (at least partially) to cold weather.
Westword was provided with autopsy reports for the individuals, with which the following observations can be made:
All are males between the ages of thirty and sixty.
Most were found in dense, urban areas of Denver.
None of the individuals was reported to have a tent.
All showed some level of intoxication from alcohol and/or drugs.
Most appear to have been alone at the time of death.
There are some disturbing facts in some of the reports. In one, the deceased — Robert Johansen — was kicked repeatedly by someone at a bus stop hours before the body was reported. According to the report:
"A Regional Transportation District (RTD) video camera in the area showed the decedent being kicked numerous times by an unknown individual while he was laying on a bus stop bench late in the evening."
Another individual, Cary McSorley, was found pinned underneath a chain-link fence in February 2016. He was thirty.
Below, we've included excerpts from each of the autopsy reports. They are illuminating in terms of how and where deaths have occurred during the past two years.
Out of respect for the deceased, however, Westword has redacted most of the medical-examination details. We also rearranged the structure of the reports to prioritize the circumstances of death — where and how the deceased were found — as well as the primary findings of the medical examiner.
They are included below in chronological order:

Poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) gas separation hollow fibre membranes were produced from multicomponent dopes using dry/wet forced convection spinning. Membranes spun from a low polymer content solution exhibited disappointing gas separation properties. Their low selectivities were indicative of thick skins and high surface porosities. In contrast, high polymer content spun fibres showed good gas separation properties. Selectivities were high, active layers relatively thin and surface porosities moderate. Coating with poly(dimethylsiloxane) nullified the surface pores. The favourable performance of the high polymer content spun fibres was also related to shear rate and forced convection residence time during spinning. To the knowledge of the authors, this work represents the first reported success in producing PVC hollow fibre membranes with morphologies suitable for gas separation. The development of PVC hollow fibres relates to the ultimate quest to produce membranes capable of reliably separating oxygen and ozone gas mixtures.


In the beginning one may find it difficult to put aside their own desires and go with the commands of Allah (subhana wa ta'ala). But as one's faith increases and one's love for Allah and His pleasure increases, the Shariah is no longer a burden. Rather, one finds happiness and contentment in living by the commands of Allah (subhana wa ta'ala), and he/she thanks Allah (subhana wa ta'ala) for having removed complexity, indecision and anxiety from their life by revealing through Muhammad (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) the best choices to be made.


I am familiar with one of these gentlemen from the old WOTC forums. I really like the Rakoss module. Trying to decide backer level.
Erik, The Tomb of Rakoss the Undying in PDF will remain free on DTRPG once updated. It's inclusion in the Kickstarter was to provide the print version as an exclusive. The illustrations booklets, being a Kickstarter exclusive as well will only be in print form, though I admit we hadn't considered PDF usage in VTTs. We'll have to think about what a PDF does to the exclusivity of the illustration booklets.
PDFs of the illustration booklets now also part of the $20 and $40 dollar reward levels.
I would not mind the new additional artwork in pdf as well for Virtual Table Top use !
People will just scan them anyways & put them up on torrents & dropboxes !
I was hoping for New Full Detail Color Maps, Character, NPC, & Monster tokens pack for the two modules for VTT use !
Perhaps later on as an add-on pack for ~ $10-ish ?!
