The big bang requires over unity. As to the fact that over unity devices exist and have for some time is something that routinely gets denied but they exist. As to the profitablity of doing so? Well to be blunt you try even improving the efficiency of some modern device like the Automobile and see what a kicking around you get.
Automobiles may have their efficiency as a fleet improved about 30 % by mere addition of Ultra Filters for the oil and simple automatic inflation devices that have existed for many years. Sorry these don't sell because the Auto guys suppress them. The Auto inflation devices for tires have existed for the military for many years. The domestic market only appeared for them in the very high end cars in the past year or so because of the lawsuits for rolling over of Ford SUV's. They have existed for more than 30 years.
The over unity devices have been patiented and demonstrated many times. These have occasionally had some sales. But there is a strongly entrenched effort against any efficiency. The levels of intimidation include murder and such.
I recently investigated these patients and found over 70 in the hands of IBM for magnetic motors and the like that were proved to work! I have talked with actual inventors who have spent a lot of money producing working demonstrated models which hold US Patients and they found many such problems. Overunity threatens the OIL Industry and their world domination. Overunity threatens the basis of control of land use in the USA. It threatens about 80% of the investments in the USA. In short a lot of people get very mad when you try this!
I was just reporting on what it does not on intentions. I just left a very curious reality out on the table. The efficiencies are proved and the devices to are actually used in essentially this way for some power generation in Hi and Isreal. This particular system I described is pretty well demonstrated every day.
The primary problem with resistant strains of TB arise from the mismanagement of the treatments and or from its innate ability to remain latient for long periods of time. (I am an RN who has delt with many cases of TB probably more than most US Doctors individually ever see in a lifetime)
The State of Alabama saw the resurgence of TB about 1990 as a result of the AIDS epidemic and the mismanagement of it by New York City. The NYC people had turned people loose with drugs and did not monitor their behavior or results. TB tends to ride on HIV due to the immunity failure. It was clamped down on in Alabama and eventually the NYC people saw fit to correct their ways.
Essentially the whole problem arises from the modern unwillingness to quarrentine or enforce health rules. HIV has presented due to its politically insane management a gaping hole in the management of all too many diseases and TB is just one. It was for example said that Quarrantine of HIV was not reasonable. It is actually essential for several reasons not usually found in many diseases.
HIV Should be Quarrantined for these reasons.
Brain infections cause many HIV People to suffer Dementia and insanity (self protection and community protection) This is about 50% or more in the epidemic.
Immunity failures make it dangerous for HIV infected persons to be about in the community as they catch easily diseases the rest of us do not suffer from but have on our bodies.(Patient safety)
HIV is very difficult to spread (Extremely) and by suppressing access to spread it by a modest quarrantine it would be stopped from spreading.
The Secondary infection risk of HIV makes the HIV infected persons a danger to the community generally such as TB infections
This cannot be over stated in importance that HIV is a basic problem that a simple Home bound monitored Quarrantine would save millions of lives world wide. Cuba proved this and cold cocked HIV in their country. The cost of this would be less than the drugs we are handing out now!
TB does have a latiency that it will appear to be successfully treated in people and will reemerge as they get old and weak. This is similar to the HIV lowered immunity issue. It is doubtful that any person is ever successfully treated for TB rather they are simply put into a temporary remission. This means many people as they get old have it reappear from treatments as old as the 1930's. HIV lowered immunity increases the problems with other diseases like TB.
The good news is that there is a simple measure that everyone can do that vastly reduces all of these problems and it really should be considered as a national security level important thing. WASH YOUR HANDS! It is the only known effective method for handling very nearly all infectious agents. IT WORKS!
For the Nerd types, REPLACE YOUR KEYBOARDS about every 6 months and clean them often.
Just a curious note: Sterling Cycle engines are about 33% thermally efficient and require very marginal thermal differentials to run them. Modern Air Conditioners often have SEER Ratings (Ratio of Energy to run vs energy pumped) of 13:1 or better. It should be entirely feasible to run an airconditioner to produce a thermal differential that subsequently runs a sterling engine that runs a generator that reruns the ac device. Assuming a 9:1 loss against the heat out that leaves a ratio of heat in per 100% self driven cycle vs unused energy out of about 4:1. This is enough to produce a self cooling house or to drive a generator even with a 9:1 drop as before that produces about 1.32 times the input energy in a never ending cycle?? But of course this is impossible isn't it?
There is only one problem with the argument that no system can be over unity like this. The whole universe is one grand over unity device making lots of energy out of nothing. But I am sure some Physics adherent to the "Big Bang" will say this is wrong.
Having studied energy for a long time I must say that we have no problem with supply, rather we have a problem disposing of it.
Sorry but I wasn't trying to prove just discuss. I am aware of the history of the Evolutionary theory and the basis of its proponents for their actions.
I find it most offensive how so many "Republicans" suddenly went brain dead when they learned that Bush(43) prayed. They seemed unable to see how he was slaughtering the party.
I watched the last election as the party openly discussed problems and how to solve them until Bush(43) showed up with $300 million in one week and all we could hear from then on was he could win! We now know where the money came from. (Enron etc) I went to the meetings hearing them celebrating his prayers but unwilling to look at what he was doing. They still will not look. All they can see is the danger from the Democrats real as that danger may or may not be.
Lets be a bit more practical here. I was raised Christian and as I grew up I began to realize that if the Christian belief statements were correct then what I was learning in Science Class was not correct. The issue wasn't the basic stuff but evolution, the age of the earth etc. Something there was quite incompatable. All due respect to my Catholic friends who believe in evolution but there is no point in any religion if you believe that you are the product of evolution.
Because science facts may be verified I began to undertake to check some of the assumptions of the evolution science teachings. Religion on the other hand may be taken on faith. I looked pretty deep. I could go into depths too far for a/. post but I began to find that Evolution Science was as full of holes as a swiss cheese. Then I began looking into its history and I learned that it was merely a competing religion to Christianity justifying some pretty bad behavior on the part of its followers.
In a more serious note: The religion of "Bush" is entirely for public consumption. He is more than willing to bed down with the worst thieves of corporate history and has no morals regards his comittments to his friends like keeping campaign promices. He shows no loyalty to the USA subjecting its people to a trade war by their own government and claiming that this piracy is good for the economy. He has repeatedly chosen to place our Congress and State Legislatures below the authority of the dictatorship in the WTO in Switzerland. At his direction we no longer have the authority to pass laws for our own health and safety without this shadow dictatorship being able to override them!
I have no doubt he prays, but when he gets up he preys on our freedom and prosperity. History is full of men who used religion to fool the populace but who themselves acted outside of any of the beliefs of that religion.
Special note to those who might be tempted to take this as a Pro Kerry statement. IT IS NOT! To evaluate one man honestly is not an evaluation of another. I merely report what is the condition of Mr. Bush(43) here. Mr. Kerry has his own problems with beliefs and facts.
Actually what is going on is positive proof that if you conduct a trade war against your own people it works.
The US Government continues to tell American Business with its tax code and trade policy to get the hell out of the USA and it is working! This is deliberate and well planned.
I couldn't agree more with you regards the Police State and I live in the USA. I just wish there was some way not to spread it around like is going to happen!
For those in the USA who cannot see very well look closely at what the Bush Administration is DOING!
They are refusing to enforce decent Immigration Laws and refusing to remove illegal aliens saying it is good for the economy. On 911 we lost $100 plus billion to some illegal aliens the cost of sweeping them up is cheap!
They are spending our defense dollars overseas but not in our country!
They are refusing to assent to the decent requests of the citizens for relief from a trade war leveled by the US Government against its own citizens. (High Taxes against untaxed inports)
They are cranking down on security on such things as Sat Photos but they export all of our critical super tech like NBFe magnets for the better motors, new lasers, new partical beams, Isotopic separtion(atomic weapons) and for antigravity and space flight research. (This is the fancy new Chinese subs!)
I could list the quotes of the labor secy or the council on economic advisors who are so arrogant that they cannot figure out that there will be no beans or bullets for their wars if Americans are not working.
Hurricane 'W' continues to churn grinding US Freedom down.
This law is a classical US Government case of closing the barn door after the cows are out. The Russians, French and soon to be many others are selling the data without the blackouts on the open market around the world. The photos you see on the news are not US Photos. They are French or Russian. The ESA is proposing to provide sub 1m resolution photos soon. They are also building their own GPS type system.
The only people who will be prohibited from seeing the data under this act are the rightful owners of the data the US Taxpayers who should be seeing them in order to make valid decisions on Political Leaders. This act is just an attempt to prevent the voters from being able to call the politicos to the stand and demand the truth. All it will do is prevent Americans from getting the pictures from SPOT and the Russians etc.
It means Al Qaeda will be able to get the pictures but the US Voters will not! It means that the US Government regards the US Voters as the real terrorists. Wake up people this isn't tin foil hat stuff! Bluntly the US Government is more interested in corking the US Voters information streams than it is in policing up the Al Qaeda types.
I am sure that the EU types will love their gun bans until they manage to extinguish in the name of safety all freedom. If you take the USA's crime rate apart by race you find ours even for guns is lower than England for the persons of northern European ancestry. If this is a product of some racial factor or some sociological factor I don't propose to say. The incidence of murder and other violent crimes appears to have a pretty stable rate for various ancestrial groups no matter where in the world they are.
One statistic which simply does not lie is the one which tells how reliable this "Trusting the Government" idea is. In the period from 1900 to 2000 the world saw something close to 205 million persons murdered. During this same period we saw the total number of persons murdered by their fellow citizens in crimes below 5 million. We saw the number of persons murdered by their respective states reach nearly 200 million. Trusting your personal security to a nation state is INSANE.
We have in the USA a creature who is a most peaceful animal. This animal never is known to attack others and is generally left alone by all. It is a porcupine. Assauting a porcupine is a good way to wind up with a face full of quills. (long spikes) So long as the State understands they will get a face full of quills (Bullets) if they bother me. They leave me alone.
In the USA the right to keep and bear arms is not associated with crime control. It is State Control. The reason the State wants gun control is it is getting predatory.
It must be clear to all that removing the quills from porcupines does not enhance the safety of porcupines. It only favors the predators. This is also true regards the State. (State = Nation for those who cannot read the dictionary)
In order for the State to feel safer in hurting its citizens it finds it necessary to make them fearful of the citizens quills. This makes the citizens give up and makes the world safe for the worst of all criminals, the police state.
You are correct according to Mr. Heisenberg but then clearly the facts are disagreeing with this principal. This is not something unusual in science. Generally such unscientific principals like you cannot go faster than... or you cannot know about that are eventually disposed of.
Yes that's right I called Mr. Heisenberg's principal unscientific trash. The basis of science is that you can know what is currently unknown. How is left up to the scientific process. The Uncertainty Principal is the single biggest pile of unscientific trash ever developed which completely by definition defies the existence of science. Yes I know all of the Physics doctrines hanging on to this principal. Prepare for all of them to fall too!
For example the "Speed of Light" has been gone for a long time. Only the Physics Religious Zelots and their todies belive it exists any more. I could give dozens of examples where their numbers are gone and their ideas are busted.
Many Computer Devices defied the existing "Laws of Science" but then of course the devices never read law... Some optical Computing circuits have captured Maxwell' Demon. Shall we say things are getting pretty curious out here... But then they have been most curious for some time.
Try opening your eyes on this. Microsoft may have paid for some plugins... a modest amount to be sure. But the owners had the following threat over their heads. If they didn't sell out for a song M$FT would reverse engineer (Piracy for those M$FT lovers out there) the product and destroy its value.
This is actually the only type of development M$FT has ever done. They are package resellers and PIRATES. But you see when M$FT copies and reverse engineers that is "Development." If I do it well.... Call the Feds!
M$FT pays a dividend of 0.29%. For the biggest corporation in the country to pay such a low amount is stock fraud. The poster is correct that they should be forced to divest of their money promptly and forth with to their stockholders. The orginization should be disbanded because it poisons the water for decent businesses. This isn't communism it is the height of justice and Capitalism.
You might call yourself a capitalist but you are not unless you insist that investors get paid.
Lets hack in a little deeper! The real problem is the whole Academic Papers game. Logically if you look at the construct you are required to copy some other paper. You are not allowed to have original thought because you must support it with documentation and not with any thinking. All such papers are by definition a rip off of someone else's papers.
Under such a system I am surprised that students have not figured out that they can synthesize their own "Facts" using the internet. All one has to do is cite a source on the net that they have added to or controlled in some way. The whole Academic system for such is a fraud. Years ago such a paper had value because in copying it by hand or typing it by hand you might have learned something. Today with the high speed cut and paste, this value is all but gone.
The depreciation of college classes and teaching has threatened all of the premices for getting a degree. What a college deploma is at this time is functionally a "Visa Stamp" on the person. The problem is that there isn't even a border check of the Visa stamps much any more and if there is , the value is gone because of all the counterfits and copies running around.
The seriousness of parenting and for that matter the issues of education are brought home in the realization that No society can long exist if the means of developing good citizens falters. The observation that welfare and Social Security problems have unintended consequences including the losening of the bonds and conditions that develop society is quite correct. We need to attend to altering these programs to minimize such.
This problem is getting worse in the society in general as we progress further and further away from "Productive Work" in industry. We are rapidly approaching a world in which nobody should have any "Real Work" to do in order to provide the means of their survival. This trend is progressing with productivity rising at about 14.5% per year with the work force declining at nearly 6% per annum. If we allow the "Capitalist" arguments about rights of ownership to apply, we get a few very rich and everyone else looking in. If we allow the "Socialist" view to apply we demolish the progress and productivity along with our families. If we allow the ignorant to run the show, as we are now doing the whole system will go unstable and disintergrate. I am not proposing that I know the answer but we had best look where we are going before we arrive.
The current reality is that we should be looking at shorter work weeks and much higher wages for our people but what we are looking at is longer work weeks and lower wages. We should be looking at easily funding all the care of the elderly. We are looking at the collapse of the support. We should be looking at very high rates of Corporate Divident Payements. They essentially don't exist. Does anybody get the pattern here?
I have looked at the maps of the weakening magnetic field of the earth and there is a pretty good relationship between the decrease in electrical currents associated with this and the coral declines... I suspect we are onto something here. I also know that the orientation for fields like this affect massively the ability to form calcium based crystals. ??? Maybe?
Sorry but I have been active in Republican Party Politics for a long time. The party may deny that it is trying to dismantle or otherwise get rid of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid etc. The bottom line is that the party hard core leadership is dedicated to this proposition. Trying to get them to bring in a position of rational management is harder than finding teeth on hens. Their solutions are always aimed at a hegemony towards dismantling the programs.
Simply stated: We live in a society where persons often move thousands of miles to change jobs. In doing so it is all too easy to abandon social obligations. To remedy this situation we have developed Social Security etc. All Republican Leadership proposals are aimed at erosion of this social and moral obligation to the elderly etc. To be fair the Democratic leaders have their dirty hands in the money looting it for social manipulation and power development.
Any proposal such as "Privatization" or even the most basic argument that had one "Invested" the money.... are at root efforts to pry large blocks of cash from the system and to deny any responsiblity of one citizen to the others. It is a "Culture of Greed" and a creed of selfishness. So long as the leadership of the Republican Party continues this kind behavior they will always have the distrust of a majority of the US Population.
Thomas Paine in "Common Sense" in 1776 talked about the need for maintaining these responsiblities for the aged, and infirm as the root cause and demand for Government! He pointed out that Society was a Lover and Government a punisher who punished those who forgot their social responsibilities. In denying the reality here Republican Party faithfuls are pledging alliegence to leaders who do not honor the most basic of reasons for the existence of our Government.
You may be tempted to deny this, but it shows up in their trade policy. You see a "Republican" is one who supports the Constitutional Federal Republic of the USA. In their mad rush to absolutely dissolve the USA these "Leaders" such as President Bush have subjugated US Soverignty even for making local laws to the WTO! (This is as Anti-Republican as can be) They have denied the clear constitutional process for the ratification of treaties. They have broken every USA Law they can find to accomplish their mission.
Prior to 9/11/2001 they openly were talking about the end of the "Nation State of the USA." These Neo-Conservatives thought the USA was Obsolete and should fade away. This is a quote from some of their Ideological leaders. The Trade value here is that by conducting a formal Trade War against US Citizens using the US Congress and the WTO so that US Citizens pay high taxes against untaxed foreign competition you can force them into a position where they must chose between their job and a pittance of a paycheck and losing it if they demand any benefits such as Healthcare or Social Security. Make no mistake this is the target of these Benedict Arnold Congressmen and the President. Their discussions have been frank open and plain. They tell Americans that if they are to have a job they must give up on the luxury of having a family, or taking care of the elderly.
Do not mistake this for any endorcement of Mr. Kerry. He too is a Globalist. He is the same thing! But until people start reading the Wall Street Journal and other mouth pieces of this movement and actually paying attention they are bound to keep spouting this crap about the Republican Party not being opposed to Social Security. I actually wish we could get persons such as the parent of this post to take a good look. Because if they did, and had an open mind maybe we could can the employement of the current crop of Phoney Republicans running the show and get some real ones who supported the USA and its continuation. As it sits Social Security is just a lessor target on the screen of the Globalists. Their prime target is NOTHING LESS THAN THE END OF THE USA. Social Security
Actually this is environmentally a great solution to the AC problem. It adds little or nothing to the energy load of the environment. Actually there is a fine solution here. Suppose we were to place a pipeline into the labrador current and feed the east US with the cooling?
Just for the curious out there. Best research says and I know this will attract some Physics guys who think it is wrong but... (Well they are the last to know anyway) Gravity doesn't exist! The speed of light isn't the fastest things can go... even light! Sorry for the luddites in the physics community but time is a human construct and has no real existence. With G, C, and T gone from your Physics world... Where are you? Oh well back to the drawing board.
The speed of light as a barrier to communications will fall just like the Sound barrier did in the past. "They've gone to plaid!"
You have it right at first blush. Unfortunately the process is much more long and convoluted. We do have a party primary and it may even have a "Run Off" and then we have a General Election system.
Essentially the thumbnail sketch is that a candidate appears with interest and begins raising money. The money most often arises from some company who has a desire to manage some government function for some private reason. As it appears that support is appearing like a magnet this draws more support and so on. The actual process has pretty well eliminated the "Party" differences. There is only one political party in the USA at this time. It is the "Republicrat Party." The process for each office takes about 2 to 4 years prior to the actual voting. By the time voters even hear the names the choice has already been made. I was told for example by a Republican friend of mine that Bill Clinton (Democrat) would be the next president in 1990. He already knew which way the money was blowing.
The fact that the Americans have not insulated this money trail from foreign control has essentially moved the control of major US Races outside of the representation of US interests. As such we in the USA are becoming more and more hostile towards our government. This may come as a shock to some foreign persons but the things you hate in our government are most often the result of your corporate interests acting in our government.
We for example are a most peaceful people and are really sick of war. This is pretty universal! We are sick of our government doing unkind things that get us into wars. We are sick of the dishonesty. This is getting to the point that many of our members at national level in the US Congress are getting sick of what is going on. I have talked with several and even the Republicans are mad at George W. Bush over these issues. Frankly if it wasn't a matter of political suicide they would have thrown him to the wolves some time ago because of his disloyalty to the USA. Don't look to Mr. Kerry to solve this. He represents an evem more corporatized group. His position is not even cloked in this matter.
My house being a bit conventional in design has a few modifications that save about $100 a month on the electrical for A/C in Alabama which is like Tennessee regards humidity only worse.
To begin with we in the south USA have a vastly different set of conditions than do the people in much of the world. We get the benefit(??) of the Gulf Stream and it is warm wet air. So TEMPERATURE IS THE ISSUE! We don't have the luxury of spraying water around etc like the desert southwest. We have to cool it.
Having built my own house, I made a few plan changes that really cut the bills. These include a steeper pitch on the roof. The South Exposure has (planted with the house construction) large trees that save about 5 to 10 degrees of heat and shade the roof and south sided of the house. The overhang is 2 feet causing the sunlight on the windows to never occur in the summer only in the winter.(equinox to equinox) The insulation is awsome. There is a Sun Room with large windows that can be opened.
I always was the conservation type and I did this setup in 1985!
When I garden I plant over the septic tank drain field. I even conserve waste water and ions...I have a large yard and I use the grass clippings for fertilizer in my garden. I raise chickens which provide food and fertilizer and improve the energy condition by improving the lawn and trees. The Air conditioners are shaded by big trees as well. Conservation to the max but we still have to set the AC lower than you guys who live where the humidity is 5-10%.
I pay about 65% of my income just to support the war, the congress, the roads, streets etc. Now my congress critter thinks it is "Free Trade" to hit me that hard while allowing the Indians, Chinese etc enter into my market partially or fully tax exempt. As the economy collapses under such bad planning they plan to tax me even more while cutting taxes on the people who planned this disaster.
The Indians and Chinese may not think so but their ships and planes travel the world under the umbrella of those expensive guns I buy! Those bragging about how they are cheaper and I am too expensive would find the world a very cold and unfriendly place if I cannot pay the bill. They might also find that unemployment for me is followed by no money for their employer and their unemployment... Killing the goose that lays the golden eggs is a policy likely to reduce the supply of such eggs considerably. Their arrogance will fly away with the shortage.
The problem is a "Classical Trade War" practiced by the US Congress against the American People. This situation is dangerous to all on earth. Nobody should celebrate it. It threatens all world economy, peace and security.
By the way George Bush is right => Islam is the religion of piece. Hang around it long enough and one of their suicide bombers will blow you to piece(s). Those who believe otherwise will suffer the consequences soon enough and they may not live to learn otherwise. Remember a dog who is killed chasing cars does not learn not to do so.
The remark that citizens should have some trust of their government is just ignorant. The government should always be suspect. History is full of the murders and userpations of government. The 20th century saw 200 million people murdered by their nation states and only a minor fraction by criminals. In every case the first line of the userpation was an Identity card. This isn't paranoia, it is fact.
If a government wants me to trust it, I for one will always reply , "Trust but verify!" Even then I will only trust so long as they don't hold the upper hand, for if they do, they are in the position to force me regardless of what I verify.
This ignorance of how true security is arived at is threatening us with a far greater danger than posed by terrorists like Al Qaeda and I am not depreciating their threat. Already in the USA we see over $1000 billion taken for "Homeland Security" and not a single real action has been taken to actually secure the arrest of known illegal aliens or undesirable ones. There is a shakedown happening all around the world over this terrorism stuff and no security is being forwarded. The verification says that a fraud is being comitted by the governments in question.
Better ID of persons is of no use in such activities anyway. Only real actions to actually arrest and remove real problems has or ever will work. Substitution of some fact check device like an ID does nothing to identify bad intent or bad behavior.
"I think OSS will accelerate the movement from software engineering being considered a manufacturing process to being accepted as a service."
I think this is a most insightful statement.
I am working in a high order language (OSS based) and I find it absolutely wonderful to write a few lines of code that do so much. The project is one which always will have to be adapted to the current demand requests. Thus it is a service.
This business of assuming that I will rewrite some Data base or some SQL thing that has been written 50,000 times before is just not something that will make anyone money. It doesn't serve a customer and it doesn't pay the bills. What is more paying a high price to use it is not going to sell either.
I welcome the coming of service and the end of the manufacturing.
Good Questions of the previous post. The whole issue is not one of if an act is "Illegal" but if the act actually rose under the circumstances to one which warrented the attention of the state. The state has no business trying minor stuff and frankly it has no business looking into such.
Only a few months back some cell phones got GPS. That is now used in criminal and civil cases... Warning this stuff is coming and we need to deal with it properly. The logic about nothing to hide is always bad.

Overunity threatens the OIL Industry and their world domination. Overunity threatens the basis of control of land use in the USA. It threatens about 80% of the investments in the USA. In short a lot of people get very mad when you try this!
I was just reporting on what it does not on intentions. I just left a very curious reality out on the table. The efficiencies are proved and the devices to are actually used in essentially this way for some power generation in Hi and Isreal. This particular system I described is pretty well demonstrated every day.
The primary problem with resistant strains of TB arise from the mismanagement of the treatments and or from its innate ability to remain latient for long periods of time. (I am an RN who has delt with many cases of TB probably more than most US Doctors individually ever see in a lifetime)
The State of Alabama saw the resurgence of TB about 1990 as a result of the AIDS epidemic and the mismanagement of it by New York City. The NYC people had turned people loose with drugs and did not monitor their behavior or results. TB tends to ride on HIV due to the immunity failure.

HIV has presented due to its politically insane management a gaping hole in the management of all too many diseases and TB is just one. It was for example said that Quarrantine of HIV was not reasonable. It is actually essential for several reasons not usually found in many diseases.
HIV Should be Quarrantined for these reasons.
Brain infections cause many HIV People to suffer Dementia and insanity (self protection and community protection) This is about 50% or more in the epidemic.
Immunity failures make it dangerous for HIV infected persons to be about in the community as they catch easily diseases the rest of us do not suffer from but have on our bodies.(Patient safety)
HIV is very difficult to spread (Extremely) and by suppressing access to spread it by a modest quarrantine it would be stopped from spreading.
The Secondary infection risk of HIV makes the HIV infected persons a danger to the community generally such as TB infections
This cannot be over stated in importance that HIV is a basic problem that a simple Home bound monitored Quarrantine would save millions of lives world wide. Cuba proved this and cold cocked HIV in their country. The cost of this would be less than the drugs we are handing out now!
TB does have a latiency that it will appear to be successfully treated in people and will reemerge as they get old and weak. This is similar to the HIV lowered immunity issue. It is doubtful that any person is ever successfully treated for TB rather they are simply put into a temporary remission. This means many people as they get old have it reappear from treatments as old as the 1930's. HIV lowered immunity increases the problems with other diseases like TB.
The good news is that there is a simple measure that everyone can do that vastly reduces all of these problems and it really should be considered as a national security level important thing. WASH YOUR HANDS! It is the only known effective method for handling very nearly all infectious agents. IT WORKS!
For the Nerd types, REPLACE YOUR KEYBOARDS about every 6 months and clean them often.
Just a curious note: Sterling Cycle engines are about 33% thermally efficient and require very marginal thermal differentials to run them. Modern Air Conditioners often have SEER Ratings (Ratio of Energy to run vs energy pumped) of 13:1 or better. It should be entirely feasible to run an airconditioner to produce a thermal differential that subsequently runs a sterling engine that runs a generator that reruns the ac device. Assuming a 9:1 loss against the heat out that leaves a ratio of heat in per 100% self driven cycle vs unused energy out of about 4:1. This is enough to produce a self cooling house or to drive a generator even with a 9:1 drop as before that produces about 1.32 times the input energy in a never ending cycle?? But of course this is impossible isn't it?
There is only one problem with the argument that no system can be over unity like this. The whole universe is one grand over unity device making lots of energy out of nothing. But I am sure some Physics adherent to the "Big Bang" will say this is wrong.
Having studied energy for a long time I must say that we have no problem with supply, rather we have a problem disposing of it.
Sorry but I wasn't trying to prove just discuss. I am aware of the history of the Evolutionary theory and the basis of its proponents for their actions.
I find it most offensive how so many "Republicans" suddenly went brain dead when they learned that Bush(43) prayed. They seemed unable to see how he was slaughtering the party.
I watched the last election as the party openly discussed problems and how to solve them until Bush(43) showed up with $300 million in one week and all we could hear from then on was he could win! We now know where the money came from. (Enron etc) I went to the meetings hearing them celebrating his prayers but unwilling to look at what he was doing. They still will not look. All they can see is the danger from the Democrats real as that danger may or may not be.
Lets be a bit more practical here. I was raised Christian and as I grew up I began to realize that if the Christian belief statements were correct then what I was learning in Science Class was not correct. The issue wasn't the basic stuff but evolution, the age of the earth etc. Something there was quite incompatable. All due respect to my Catholic friends who believe in evolution but there is no point in any religion if you believe that you are the product of evolution.
Because science facts may be verified I began to undertake to check some of the assumptions of the evolution science teachings. Religion on the other hand may be taken on faith. I looked pretty deep. I could go into depths too far for a /. post but I began to find that Evolution Science was as full of holes as a swiss cheese. Then I began looking into its history and I learned that it was merely a competing religion to Christianity justifying some pretty bad behavior on the part of its followers.
In a more serious note: The religion of "Bush" is entirely for public consumption. He is more than willing to bed down with the worst thieves of corporate history and has no morals regards his comittments to his friends like keeping campaign promices. He shows no loyalty to the USA subjecting its people to a trade war by their own government and claiming that this piracy is good for the economy. He has repeatedly chosen to place our Congress and State Legislatures below the authority of the dictatorship in the WTO in Switzerland. At his direction we no longer have the authority to pass laws for our own health and safety without this shadow dictatorship being able to override them!
I have no doubt he prays, but when he gets up he preys on our freedom and prosperity. History is full of men who used religion to fool the populace but who themselves acted outside of any of the beliefs of that religion.
Special note to those who might be tempted to take this as a Pro Kerry statement. IT IS NOT! To evaluate one man honestly is not an evaluation of another. I merely report what is the condition of Mr. Bush(43) here. Mr. Kerry has his own problems with beliefs and facts.
Actually what is going on is positive proof that if you conduct a trade war against your own people it works.
The US Government continues to tell American Business with its tax code and trade policy to get the hell out of the USA and it is working! This is deliberate and well planned.
I couldn't agree more with you regards the Police State and I live in the USA. I just wish there was some way not to spread it around like is going to happen!
For those in the USA who cannot see very well look closely at what the Bush Administration is DOING!
They are refusing to enforce decent Immigration Laws and refusing to remove illegal aliens saying it is good for the economy. On 911 we lost $100 plus billion to some illegal aliens the cost of sweeping them up is cheap!
They are spending our defense dollars overseas but not in our country!
They are refusing to assent to the decent requests of the citizens for relief from a trade war leveled by the US Government against its own citizens. (High Taxes against untaxed inports)
They are cranking down on security on such things as Sat Photos but they export all of our critical super tech like NBFe magnets for the better motors, new lasers, new partical beams, Isotopic separtion(atomic weapons) and for antigravity and space flight research. (This is the fancy new Chinese subs!)
I could list the quotes of the labor secy or the council on economic advisors who are so arrogant that they cannot figure out that there will be no beans or bullets for their wars if Americans are not working.
Hurricane 'W' continues to churn grinding US Freedom down.
This law is a classical US Government case of closing the barn door after the cows are out. The Russians, French and soon to be many others are selling the data without the blackouts on the open market around the world. The photos you see on the news are not US Photos. They are French or Russian. The ESA is proposing to provide sub 1m resolution photos soon. They are also building their own GPS type system.
The only people who will be prohibited from seeing the data under this act are the rightful owners of the data the US Taxpayers who should be seeing them in order to make valid decisions on Political Leaders. This act is just an attempt to prevent the voters from being able to call the politicos to the stand and demand the truth. All it will do is prevent Americans from getting the pictures from SPOT and the Russians etc.
It means Al Qaeda will be able to get the pictures but the US Voters will not! It means that the US Government regards the US Voters as the real terrorists. Wake up people this isn't tin foil hat stuff! Bluntly the US Government is more interested in corking the US Voters information streams than it is in policing up the Al Qaeda types.
I am sure that the EU types will love their gun bans until they manage to extinguish in the name of safety all freedom. If you take the USA's crime rate apart by race you find ours even for guns is lower than England for the persons of northern European ancestry. If this is a product of some racial factor or some sociological factor I don't propose to say. The incidence of murder and other violent crimes appears to have a pretty stable rate for various ancestrial groups no matter where in the world they are.
One statistic which simply does not lie is the one which tells how reliable this "Trusting the Government" idea is. In the period from 1900 to 2000 the world saw something close to 205 million persons murdered. During this same period we saw the total number of persons murdered by their fellow citizens in crimes below 5 million. We saw the number of persons murdered by their respective states reach nearly 200 million. Trusting your personal security to a nation state is INSANE.
We have in the USA a creature who is a most peaceful animal. This animal never is known to attack others and is generally left alone by all. It is a porcupine. Assauting a porcupine is a good way to wind up with a face full of quills. (long spikes) So long as the State understands they will get a face full of quills (Bullets) if they bother me. They leave me alone.
In the USA the right to keep and bear arms is not associated with crime control. It is State Control. The reason the State wants gun control is it is getting predatory.
It must be clear to all that removing the quills from porcupines does not enhance the safety of porcupines. It only favors the predators. This is also true regards the State. (State = Nation for those who cannot read the dictionary)
In order for the State to feel safer in hurting its citizens it finds it necessary to make them fearful of the citizens quills. This makes the citizens give up and makes the world safe for the worst of all criminals, the police state.
You are correct according to Mr. Heisenberg but then clearly the facts are disagreeing with this principal. This is not something unusual in science. Generally such unscientific principals like you cannot go faster than ... or you cannot know about that are eventually disposed of.
Yes that's right I called Mr. Heisenberg's principal unscientific trash. The basis of science is that you can know what is currently unknown. How is left up to the scientific process. The Uncertainty Principal is the single biggest pile of unscientific trash ever developed which completely by definition defies the existence of science. Yes I know all of the Physics doctrines hanging on to this principal. Prepare for all of them to fall too!
For example the "Speed of Light" has been gone for a long time. Only the Physics Religious Zelots and their todies belive it exists any more. I could give dozens of examples where their numbers are gone and their ideas are busted.
Many Computer Devices defied the existing "Laws of Science" but then of course the devices never read law... Some optical Computing circuits have captured Maxwell' Demon. Shall we say things are getting pretty curious out here... But then they have been most curious for some time.
Well yes you can get away --- with a tinfoil hat or mumetal
Try opening your eyes on this. Microsoft may have paid for some plugins ... a modest amount to be sure. But the owners had the following threat over their heads. If they didn't sell out for a song M$FT would reverse engineer (Piracy for those M$FT lovers out there) the product and destroy its value.
This is actually the only type of development M$FT has ever done. They are package resellers and PIRATES. But you see when M$FT copies and reverse engineers that is "Development." If I do it well .... Call the Feds!
M$FT pays a dividend of 0.29%. For the biggest corporation in the country to pay such a low amount is stock fraud. The poster is correct that they should be forced to divest of their money promptly and forth with to their stockholders. The orginization should be disbanded because it poisons the water for decent businesses. This isn't communism it is the height of justice and Capitalism.
You might call yourself a capitalist but you are not unless you insist that investors get paid.
Lets hack in a little deeper! The real problem is the whole Academic Papers game. Logically if you look at the construct you are required to copy some other paper. You are not allowed to have original thought because you must support it with documentation and not with any thinking. All such papers are by definition a rip off of someone else's papers.
Under such a system I am surprised that students have not figured out that they can synthesize their own "Facts" using the internet. All one has to do is cite a source on the net that they have added to or controlled in some way. The whole Academic system for such is a fraud. Years ago such a paper had value because in copying it by hand or typing it by hand you might have learned something. Today with the high speed cut and paste, this value is all but gone.
The depreciation of college classes and teaching has threatened all of the premices for getting a degree. What a college deploma is at this time is functionally a "Visa Stamp" on the person. The problem is that there isn't even a border check of the Visa stamps much any more and if there is , the value is gone because of all the counterfits and copies running around.
The seriousness of parenting and for that matter the issues of education are brought home in the realization that No society can long exist if the means of developing good citizens falters. The observation that welfare and Social Security problems have unintended consequences including the losening of the bonds and conditions that develop society is quite correct. We need to attend to altering these programs to minimize such.
This problem is getting worse in the society in general as we progress further and further away from "Productive Work" in industry. We are rapidly approaching a world in which nobody should have any "Real Work" to do in order to provide the means of their survival. This trend is progressing with productivity rising at about 14.5% per year with the work force declining at nearly 6% per annum. If we allow the "Capitalist" arguments about rights of ownership to apply, we get a few very rich and everyone else looking in. If we allow the "Socialist" view to apply we demolish the progress and productivity along with our families. If we allow the ignorant to run the show, as we are now doing the whole system will go unstable and disintergrate. I am not proposing that I know the answer but we had best look where we are going before we arrive.
The current reality is that we should be looking at shorter work weeks and much higher wages for our people but what we are looking at is longer work weeks and lower wages. We should be looking at easily funding all the care of the elderly. We are looking at the collapse of the support. We should be looking at very high rates of Corporate Divident Payements. They essentially don't exist. Does anybody get the pattern here?
I have looked at the maps of the weakening magnetic field of the earth and there is a pretty good relationship between the decrease in electrical currents associated with this and the coral declines... I suspect we are onto something here. I also know that the orientation for fields like this affect massively the ability to form calcium based crystals. ??? Maybe?
Sorry but I have been active in Republican Party Politics for a long time. The party may deny that it is trying to dismantle or otherwise get rid of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid etc. The bottom line is that the party hard core leadership is dedicated to this proposition. Trying to get them to bring in a position of rational management is harder than finding teeth on hens. Their solutions are always aimed at a hegemony towards dismantling the programs.
Simply stated: We live in a society where persons often move thousands of miles to change jobs. In doing so it is all too easy to abandon social obligations. To remedy this situation we have developed Social Security etc. All Republican Leadership proposals are aimed at erosion of this social and moral obligation to the elderly etc. To be fair the Democratic leaders have their dirty hands in the money looting it for social manipulation and power development.
Any proposal such as "Privatization" or even the most basic argument that had one "Invested" the money .... are at root efforts to pry large blocks of cash from the system and to deny any responsiblity of one citizen to the others. It is a "Culture of Greed" and a creed of selfishness. So long as the leadership of the Republican Party continues this kind behavior they will always have the distrust of a majority of the US Population.
Thomas Paine in "Common Sense" in 1776 talked about the need for maintaining these responsiblities for the aged, and infirm as the root cause and demand for Government! He pointed out that Society was a Lover and Government a punisher who punished those who forgot their social responsibilities. In denying the reality here Republican Party faithfuls are pledging alliegence to leaders who do not honor the most basic of reasons for the existence of our Government.
You may be tempted to deny this, but it shows up in their trade policy. You see a "Republican" is one who supports the Constitutional Federal Republic of the USA. In their mad rush to absolutely dissolve the USA these "Leaders" such as President Bush have subjugated US Soverignty even for making local laws to the WTO! (This is as Anti-Republican as can be) They have denied the clear constitutional process for the ratification of treaties. They have broken every USA Law they can find to accomplish their mission.
Prior to 9/11/2001 they openly were talking about the end of the "Nation State of the USA." These Neo-Conservatives thought the USA was Obsolete and should fade away. This is a quote from some of their Ideological leaders. The Trade value here is that by conducting a formal Trade War against US Citizens using the US Congress and the WTO so that US Citizens pay high taxes against untaxed foreign competition you can force them into a position where they must chose between their job and a pittance of a paycheck and losing it if they demand any benefits such as Healthcare or Social Security. Make no mistake this is the target of these Benedict Arnold Congressmen and the President. Their discussions have been frank open and plain. They tell Americans that if they are to have a job they must give up on the luxury of having a family, or taking care of the elderly.
Do not mistake this for any endorcement of Mr. Kerry. He too is a Globalist. He is the same thing! But until people start reading the Wall Street Journal and other mouth pieces of this movement and actually paying attention they are bound to keep spouting this crap about the Republican Party not being opposed to Social Security. I actually wish we could get persons such as the parent of this post to take a good look. Because if they did, and had an open mind maybe we could can the employement of the current crop of Phoney Republicans running the show and get some real ones who supported the USA and its continuation. As it sits Social Security is just a lessor target on the screen of the Globalists. Their prime target is NOTHING LESS THAN THE END OF THE USA. Social Security
Actually this is environmentally a great solution to the AC problem. It adds little or nothing to the energy load of the environment. Actually there is a fine solution here. Suppose we were to place a pipeline into the labrador current and feed the east US with the cooling?
Watch out for Dark Helmet!
Just for the curious out there. Best research says and I know this will attract some Physics guys who think it is wrong but... (Well they are the last to know anyway) Gravity doesn't exist! The speed of light isn't the fastest things can go... even light! Sorry for the luddites in the physics community but time is a human construct and has no real existence. With G, C, and T gone from your Physics world... Where are you? Oh well back to the drawing board.
The speed of light as a barrier to communications will fall just like the Sound barrier did in the past. "They've gone to plaid!"
You have it right at first blush. Unfortunately the process is much more long and convoluted. We do have a party primary and it may even have a "Run Off" and then we have a General Election system.
Essentially the thumbnail sketch is that a candidate appears with interest and begins raising money. The money most often arises from some company who has a desire to manage some government function for some private reason. As it appears that support is appearing like a magnet this draws more support and so on. The actual process has pretty well eliminated the "Party" differences. There is only one political party in the USA at this time. It is the "Republicrat Party." The process for each office takes about 2 to 4 years prior to the actual voting. By the time voters even hear the names the choice has already been made. I was told for example by a Republican friend of mine that Bill Clinton (Democrat) would be the next president in 1990. He already knew which way the money was blowing.
The fact that the Americans have not insulated this money trail from foreign control has essentially moved the control of major US Races outside of the representation of US interests. As such we in the USA are becoming more and more hostile towards our government. This may come as a shock to some foreign persons but the things you hate in our government are most often the result of your corporate interests acting in our government.
We for example are a most peaceful people and are really sick of war. This is pretty universal! We are sick of our government doing unkind things that get us into wars. We are sick of the dishonesty. This is getting to the point that many of our members at national level in the US Congress are getting sick of what is going on. I have talked with several and even the Republicans are mad at George W. Bush over these issues. Frankly if it wasn't a matter of political suicide they would have thrown him to the wolves some time ago because of his disloyalty to the USA. Don't look to Mr. Kerry to solve this. He represents an evem more corporatized group. His position is not even cloked in this matter.
My house being a bit conventional in design has a few modifications that save about $100 a month on the electrical for A/C in Alabama which is like Tennessee regards humidity only worse.
To begin with we in the south USA have a vastly different set of conditions than do the people in much of the world. We get the benefit(??) of the Gulf Stream and it is warm wet air. So TEMPERATURE IS THE ISSUE! We don't have the luxury of spraying water around etc like the desert southwest. We have to cool it.Having built my own house, I made a few plan changes that really cut the bills. These include a steeper pitch on the roof. The South Exposure has (planted with the house construction) large trees that save about 5 to 10 degrees of heat and shade the roof and south sided of the house. The overhang is 2 feet causing the sunlight on the windows to never occur in the summer only in the winter.(equinox to equinox) The insulation is awsome. There is a Sun Room with large windows that can be opened.
I always was the conservation type and I did this setup in 1985!
When I garden I plant over the septic tank drain field. I even conserve waste water and ions...I have a large yard and I use the grass clippings for fertilizer in my garden. I raise chickens which provide food and fertilizer and improve the energy condition by improving the lawn and trees. The Air conditioners are shaded by big trees as well. Conservation to the max but we still have to set the AC lower than you guys who live where the humidity is 5-10%.
Just to back the previous post up even more...
I pay about 65% of my income just to support the war, the congress, the roads, streets etc. Now my congress critter thinks it is "Free Trade" to hit me that hard while allowing the Indians, Chinese etc enter into my market partially or fully tax exempt. As the economy collapses under such bad planning they plan to tax me even more while cutting taxes on the people who planned this disaster.
The Indians and Chinese may not think so but their ships and planes travel the world under the umbrella of those expensive guns I buy! Those bragging about how they are cheaper and I am too expensive would find the world a very cold and unfriendly place if I cannot pay the bill. They might also find that unemployment for me is followed by no money for their employer and their unemployment... Killing the goose that lays the golden eggs is a policy likely to reduce the supply of such eggs considerably. Their arrogance will fly away with the shortage.
The problem is a "Classical Trade War" practiced by the US Congress against the American People. This situation is dangerous to all on earth. Nobody should celebrate it. It threatens all world economy, peace and security.
By the way George Bush is right => Islam is the religion of piece. Hang around it long enough and one of their suicide bombers will blow you to piece(s). Those who believe otherwise will suffer the consequences soon enough and they may not live to learn otherwise. Remember a dog who is killed chasing cars does not learn not to do so.
The remark that citizens should have some trust of their government is just ignorant. The government should always be suspect. History is full of the murders and userpations of government. The 20th century saw 200 million people murdered by their nation states and only a minor fraction by criminals. In every case the first line of the userpation was an Identity card. This isn't paranoia, it is fact.
If a government wants me to trust it, I for one will always reply , "Trust but verify!" Even then I will only trust so long as they don't hold the upper hand, for if they do, they are in the position to force me regardless of what I verify.
This ignorance of how true security is arived at is threatening us with a far greater danger than posed by terrorists like Al Qaeda and I am not depreciating their threat. Already in the USA we see over $1000 billion taken for "Homeland Security" and not a single real action has been taken to actually secure the arrest of known illegal aliens or undesirable ones. There is a shakedown happening all around the world over this terrorism stuff and no security is being forwarded. The verification says that a fraud is being comitted by the governments in question.
Better ID of persons is of no use in such activities anyway. Only real actions to actually arrest and remove real problems has or ever will work. Substitution of some fact check device like an ID does nothing to identify bad intent or bad behavior.
I am working in a high order language (OSS based) and I find it absolutely wonderful to write a few lines of code that do so much. The project is one which always will have to be adapted to the current demand requests. Thus it is a service.
This business of assuming that I will rewrite some Data base or some SQL thing that has been written 50,000 times before is just not something that will make anyone money. It doesn't serve a customer and it doesn't pay the bills. What is more paying a high price to use it is not going to sell either.
I welcome the coming of service and the end of the manufacturing.
Good Questions of the previous post. The whole issue is not one of if an act is "Illegal" but if the act actually rose under the circumstances to one which warrented the attention of the state. The state has no business trying minor stuff and frankly it has no business looking into such.
Only a few months back some cell phones got GPS. That is now used in criminal and civil cases ... Warning this stuff is coming and we need to deal with it properly. The logic about nothing to hide is always bad.
