11/02/09 - We're Governed by Callous Children
In a WSJ opinion piece by Peggy Noonan titled 'We're Governed by Callous Children.' She writes, 'We are governed at all levels by America's luckiest children, sons and daughters of the abundance, and they call themselves optimists but they're not optimists — they're unimaginative. They don't have faith, they've just never been foreclosed on. They are stupid and they are callous, and they don't mind it when people become disheartened.

11/02/09 - Xerox ink will print circuits
Xerox has announced a breakthrough in printable circuits. They’ve developed a conductive ink called “silver bullet” that can be printed on many different types of substrate to create circuits. The key part of the new ink is its lower melting point. Plastic film substrate melts at 150 degrees Celsius but the ink is liquid when ten degrees cooler to avoid damaging the film. This begs the question: how do you then solder components to the circuit? The benefits of printable circuitry are obvious. Aside from cheaper and easier RFID, disposable circuits like greeting cards, and fabric-based electronics, we’re hoping this will facilitate more environmentally friendly PCB fabrication. That really depends on the ink’s production process and the resilience of the resulting circuitry. - Full Article Source

11/02/09 - Now, bulk of innovation is due to government
Few private corporations in this country perform the necessary research and development to create the technologies that have largely been responsible for our high (but dramatically slipping) standard of living. It is the U.S. government — via the Energy and Defense departments, the National Institutes of Health, and the Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technology Transfer programs — that provides money to support research and development in government-funded national labs, at universities and in industry that are largely the driving forces for our nation’s innovation. At one time, large-scale research was supported by great corporations such as AT&T that resulted, for example, in the development of the transistor and high-speed optical computers. But most U.S. companies no longer perform significant research or do so in an extremely limited capacity because of their short-term and myopic profit-making outlook, and the ball is dropped on the need for long-term investment to develop and improve technologies that may require decades to succeed. Our government is shouldering much of the risk to continue our unprecedented success in science and engineering that mostly drives our economy, well-being and national security. Let the U.S. taxpayers shoulder the risks and costs of developing new technologies (just as they have done to rescue irresponsible and greedy banks) and then let corporations profit from them! What a deal! - Full Article Source

11/02/09 - A New Paradigm: The New Deal of the 1930s
The New Deal that led out of the worldwide economic crisis (1929-1938) in the 1930s was based on the combination of a new technical-economic model with a new socio-economic model. The technical-economic model was Fordist mass production, the economy of scale and the related model of industrial research, development, production and utilization of nature. The socio-economic model was the participation of workers in economic development in the form of higher income, growing consumption and better social security: productivity-oriented wage policy and the welfare state. The New Deal was obviously not the result of intentionally planned political decisions of President Roosevelt, US economic bosses, the voters or the population. It was the result of socio-economic and political developments (in the sense of Schumpeter), of an evolutionary process under the conditions of a profound worldwide economic crisis, of a systemic crisis of capitalism, the second systemic crisis after the First World War, the revolutions and the German-Austrian inflation. The New Deal brought about a new version of the social in the context of US capitalism. Several measures should be underlined here: state monitoring of the stock exchange, price controls for agricultural products (today price controls on energy products are vital), reduction of working hours, voluntary labor, communal investments, legal grounds for unions and the right to strike, introduction of a state pension, an unemployment insurance and the minimum wage, introduction of a progressive income tax (a tax on the rich!) and prohibition of private ownership of gold and silver. Free trade and the principle of most-favored nation status in international trade were added. - Full Article Source

11/02/09 - Eat fruits and vegetables raw when possible - Cook Waterless
It has actually been proven that fruits and vegetables have health benefits that science has not yet discovered, and may act as a medicine for a huge number of diseases,” stated Saleh Al-Mudhian, Owner of Saleh Al-Mudhian Sons Co. for General Trading. “To get the amount that’s recommended, most people need to increase the amount of fruits and vegetables they currently eat every day. Fruits and vegetables contain essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber that may help protect you from chronic diseases. Compared with people who consume a diet with only small amounts of fruits and vegetables, those who eat more generous amounts as part of a healthful diet are likely to have reduced risk of chronic diseases, including stroke and perhaps other cardiovascular diseases, and certain cancers.” Water used for cooking can also dissolve and wash away even more of those vitamins … the water soluble ones. Therefore, any cooking that minimizes time, temperature, and amount of water used will help to preserve nutrients. Microwave cooking has been said to be one of the best ways to preserve nutrients because it needs minimal water, and the cooking time is very short. Pressure cooking under steam is also one of the best because it too minimizes time and requires little water. Other methods for nutrition are steaming in a little water, stir frying, and boil-in-bag. However, I have worked hard throughout my life to research on kitchen products including frying pans, kitchen pots and so on that can cook any kind of food with minimal or no water and oil, minimal heat and minimal cooking time.- Full Article Source

11/02/09 - Where To Get Slaves
According to God, U.S. residents who need slaves can get them from Canada or Mexico. Also, you can round up any illegal aliens (and their children) and make them slaves. / The Bible not only condones slavery, it actually encourages that cruel institution and has, in fact, been effectively used to promote and preserve it. In Exodus 21 the guidelines for the buying, selling and treatment of slaves is given. God says in verse 4 that if a male slave marries, his wife and children shall remain with the master when the slave departs because technically speaking they belong to the master. How's that for family values? Now if the slave is imprudent enough to protest because he loves his wife and children and wants to stay on, the consequences can be pretty drastic. In verse 6 the master is directed to "Bring him unto the judges; he shall also bring him to the door, or unto the door post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl; and he shall serve him for ever". This is all repeated with some minor alteration in Deuteronomy 15:16-17. Here the master is told to "Do likewise to your maid slaves." In Exodus 21:7-9 God even instructs men how they are to go about selling their own daughters into slavery. Here it is worth noting that many church officials including popes have owned slaves.

"Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property. You can will them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life... - Full Article Source

11/02/09 - UA solar device may create energy as cheaply as coal
The University of Arizona's Steward Observatory Mirror Lab has produced the first prototype of a solar device that inventor Roger Angel hopes will eventually produce electricity from the sun at a price rivaling the cheapest fossil fuels. Angel's design uses mirrors — 21 segments arrayed in a parabola on a lightweight aluminum frame — to focus the sun's light on a small solar cell. Angel, the Mirror Lab's founder and director, said the device uses only about $200 worth of glass and eventually could be mass-produced for $1,500. At that price, the device would produce energy for $1 a watt, making it as cheap as coal-burning electrical plants. - Full Article Source

11/02/09 - Wireless security camera for digital nomads hits
Homeowners protect their loved ones and property by installing surveillance cameras around the house to detect intruders. But what about those of us who travel constantly, or live in specific places only temporarily? We want security, too! Now, a $600 wireless product has been designed for nearly all conditions. It's called the Global Watchman. The camera unit is a ruggedized enclosure you can mount anywhere. You can run it off the batteries, or plug it in. The camera takes pictures up to 60 feet away in total darkness, and uploads the photos via a mobile broadband cellular connection. It also stores pictures in a Compact Flash card. The Global Watchman doesn't look for motion, but changes in heat. So a person will trigger the camera, but not wind-blown trees. The device is ruggedized against heat, cold, dirt and water. Because it's both wireless and battery operated, it's easy to set up. A built-in laser guide helps you point it exactly where you want it pointed. Included bungee cords means you can just lash it to a tree or a post. - Full Article Source

11/02/09 - Use Vicks VapoRub To Cure Toenail Fungus
Researchers have been studying the effects of the herb, thyme, on curing toenail fungus—a condition that, while not normally harmful, affects about 15% of Americans. The over the counter medications for eliminating nail fungus are plagued with drawbacks. They're expensive, don't have great results, and have a whole slew of side effects. Here's what The New York Times had to say about the research surrounding the use of herbal remedies such as Thyme instead: In one study, scientists tested the antifungal effects of the ingredients in a generic medicated chest rub. Of the seven ingredients, thymol was among the most effective at inhibiting the growth of dermatophytes that cause nail fungus. Other studies in animals have also shown thymol oil to be effective against dermatophytes. And studies have also shown that thymol oil destroys another cause of nail fungus, Candida, by disrupting its cell membranes and metabolism. - Full Article Source

11/02/09 - A Clever New Approach To Desalination
"The Economist reports on progress by a company called Saltworks on using saline gradients to do the heavy lifting of desalination. In essence, Saltworks uses solar energy or waste heat to concentrate sea water. They then use the ionic gradient between the concentrated brine and two sea-water streams to pull ions from from a 3rd sea-water stream. It appears to work with entropy by trading the reduced entropy of the desalinated water against the increased entropy of 'mixing' the brine and the other sea-water streams. The article only discusses Na and Cl, but even just removing these ions is a step in the right direction." - Full Article Source

11/02/09 - Clever 'chopped' cars promise cheap electric commuting
Huge effort has been expended on untested new technology, says Illah Nourbakhsh, leader of the Charge Car project at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He suggests an alternative: "Let's use the cheapest hardware possible by making the smartest possible management software." His team has designed a novel electric-car architecture that he says can be used to cheaply convert used cars into electric ones. They took a Toyota Scion to a local "chop shop" to prove that the conversion works. The Scion's petrol engine, fuel tank and exhaust were swapped for a set of lead-acid batteries, four motors and a supercapacitor, which is able to soak up or discharge power much faster than a battery. The load on the battery is minimised by relying heavily on the supercapacitor, which is charged by recouping braking energy. The car might feel like the poor cousin of production electric vehicles, but Nourbakhsh's team reckon that commuters don't need high-spec cars. He says a car that can travel only 32 kilometres per charge would allow 53 per cent of Americans to cover both legs of their daily commute, while 48 kilometres would suit 71 per cent. If using the US's standard Urban Dynamometer Driving Schedule, which models city driving conditions, it appears that regenerative braking could recoup only 6 per cent of energy expended. But the UDDS is a "terrible model" of how commuters drive that fails to account for the stop-start reality of urban driving, says Nourbakhsh. He says records of real commutes suggest regenerative braking could recover up to 40 per cent of the energy used. - Full Article Source

11/02/09 - Fast-Charging Buses
Batteries that recharge in 5 to 10 minutes could help make electric vehicles more competitive. The high cost of batteries is one of the biggest reasons why electric vehicles aren't widespread. We recently wrote about an interesting solution to this problem--rather than equipping an electric vehicle with enough batteries for a day's driving, use a minimal amount of energy storage but provide a way to recharge quickly. This way you can spend a lot less on energy storage and bring the cost down to something competitive with conventional vehicles. In the case we wrote about, Sinautec Automobile Technologies has equipped buses with ultracapacitors with a very limited range--just a few miles--but that can be recharged in 30 seconds or so at bus stops. Here's another approach from Proterra, a company based in Colorado. Instead of ultracapacitors, the company uses batteries from Altairnano that can recharge in 5 to 10 minutes at a special overhead recharging station. - Full Article Source

11/02/09 - Psychic computer shows your thoughts on screen
Scientists have discovered how to “read” minds by scanning brain activity and reproducing images of what people are seeing — or even remembering. Researchers have been able to convert into crude video footage the brain activity stimulated by what a person is watching or recalling. The breakthrough raises the prospect of significant benefits, such as allowing people who are unable to move or speak to communicate via visualisation of their thoughts; recording people’s dreams; or allowing police to identify criminals by recalling the memories of a witness. However, it could also herald a new Big Brother era, similar to that envisaged in the Hollywood film Minority Report, in which an individual’s private thoughts can be readily accessed by the authorities. Jack Gallant and Shinji Nishimoto, two neurologists from the University of California, Berkeley, last year managed to correlate activity in the brain’s visual cortex with static images seen by the person. Last week they went one step further by revealing that it is possible to “decode” signals generated in the brain by moving scenes. - Full Article Source

We envision a navigation system that mimics the friendly expertise of a driving companion who is familiar with both the driver and the city. Instead of focusing solely on determining routes to a specified waypoint, our system utilizes analysis of driver behavior in order to identify the set of goals the driver would like to achieve. Furthermore, AIDA involves an understanding of the city beyond what can be seen through the windshield, incorporating information such as business and shopping districts, tourist and residential areas, as well as real-time event information and environmental conditions. Functinalities that gather information about driver preferences additionally help AIDA to behave more intelligently. One mandatory task for AIDA is to predict the destination of the driver as well as the most likely route that he/she will follow. This will in turn allow for useful reactions from AIDA such as proposing route alternatives when something unexpected happens in the predicted route, or providing the right information at the right time (e.g. a fuel warning before passing by a gas station) or even helping save energy. / MIT develops intelligent in-car robot which reads your moods with facial expressions, figures out your home and work locations, advises you on best route to grocery store, and reminds you to fill up the gas.

10/31/09 - Invention Secrecy at Highest in a Decade
The total number of invention secrecy orders that the U.S. government imposed on patent applications rose again this year, reaching 5,081 by the end of last month, the highest figure since 1996. Under the Invention Secrecy Act of 1951, U.S. government agencies may restrict the disclosure of a patent application whenever its publication is deemed “detrimental to the national security.” In Fiscal Year 2009, 103 new secrecy orders were issued, while 45 existing orders were rescinded. The most vexing secrecy orders, known as “John Doe” secrecy orders, are those that are imposed on private inventors who are not government contractors so that the government has no property interest in the invention. In Fiscal Year 2009, there were 21 new John Doe secrecy orders, according to the latest statistics. An argument could be made that secrecy orders in such cases are infringements on an inventor’s First Amendment rights, but such an argument has never been tested in court. - Full Article Source

10/31/09 - Tightening skin with Magnetic Fields
AuraLevée is a proprietary breakthrough technology – the first to employ high frequency alternating magnetic fields for applications in cosmetic medicine by Rocky Mountain Biosystems, Inc. Treatment with the AuraLevée system results in an immediate cosmetic skin tightening that reduces the appearance of wrinkles and skin laxity, followed by the stimulation of new collagen production that results in thickening of the dermis. The use of alternating magnetic fields ensures there is no electrical contact with the patient, and results in focused heating only in the epidermis. Volumetric Skin Tightening - The immediate skin tightening effect of AuraLevée is believed to result from its effect on the molecular structure of proteins and proteoglycans in the dermis. The most prominent effect is believed to occur as a result of collagen contraction following localized heating, permitting the collagen fibrils to once again pack together more closely as found in younger skin. Generation of New Collagen for Skin Thickening - A second AuraLevée effect occurs weeks to months after treatment as a result of the creation of a microthermal “shock” to fibroblasts in the dermis, which proliferate and are stimulated to produce new collagen in the dermal layers. The stimulation and proliferation ultimately result in thickening of the dermis. The uniqueness of AuraLevée lies in the fact that the thermal energy contracting the collagen is generated internally rather than as the result of external electrical or photon stimulation. - Full Article Source

10/31/09 - Institute for Vacuum Energy, extracting ZPE patents and the Reid-cell
For those interested in vacuum energy, I found an interesting video you might enjoy. Electra Energy AG is in the process of developing renewable energy sources and their commercialisation. Our primary development is an energy generator which belongs to a completely new class of electric systems. They are called “asymmetric electric systems”. These generators receive energy from quantum vacuum or space–time and convert it into electrical or mechanical energy. The advantage over conventional energy conversion systems is, that these technologies deliver energy permanently and emission free.

1.1 Simple measurements with common measuring equipment, it can be seen that nearly every piece of material has an electrical potential. Take a raw piece of a calcite stone and check the voltage at differing places. You will find certain potentials but they never get down to zero. The phenomenon of crystalline energy harmonizes with the view from crystallogy, mineralogy and material sciences. Most scientists treat this energy as being too unimportant and therefore insignificant to have any technological potential. Furthermore many scientists see only the electrolysis as cause for the observed phenomenon. There are other possible causes such as: piezoelectric effect, quantum-tunnelling, high temperature superconductors etc. Once this effect is believed to have an industrial value, the basic research worldwide will investigate these and other possible explanations extensively.

1.2 The Reid-cell: 1.4. This generator consists of a crystalline material attached between two specialised semiconductors, which produce a permanent and loss-free current of electric energy. Using a highly dispersive crystalline material in a special manufacturing process, a synthetic crystal with an extremely big surface is grown, where several different physical processes appear. These cause a multiplication of the effect. With the correct positioning of the semiconductors it is possible to extract electric energy from the synthetic crystal. The current flows continually and may last at least as long as 6 years (current status by observation) without any observable decline of power. Through serial or parallel positioning of the semiconductors it is possible to increase the power to any required strength. These cells have already been presented to the public. The energy capacity is in the moment at about 1.0 mWcdm.

10/31/09 - How Terahertz Waves Tear Apart DNA
"Great things are expected of terahertz waves, the radiation in the electromagnetic spectrum between microwaves and the infrared. Terahertz waves pass through non-conducting materials such as clothes, paper, wood and brick and so cameras sensitive to them can peer inside envelopes, into living rooms and 'frisk' people at distance. That's not to mention the great potential they have in medical imaging. Because terahertz photons are not energetic enough to break chemical bonds or ionize electrons, it's easy to dismiss fears over their health effects. And yet the evidence is mixed: some studies have reported significant genetic damage while others, although similar, have reported none. Now a team led by Los Alamos National Labs thinks it knows why. They say that although the forces that terahertz waves exert on double-stranded DNA are tiny, in certain circumstances resonant effects can unzip the DNA strands, tearing them apart. This creates bubbles in the strands that can significantly interfere with processes such as gene expression and DNA replication. With terahertz scanners already appearing in airports and hospitals, the question that now urgently needs answering is what level of exposure is safe." / Alexandrov and co have created a model to investigate how THz fields interact with double-stranded DNA and what they've found is remarkable. They say that although the forces generated are tiny, resonant effects allow THz waves to unzip double-stranded DNA, creating bubbles in the double strand that could significantly interfere with processes such as gene expression and DNA replication. That's a jaw dropping conclusion. And it also explains why the evidence has been so hard to garner. Ordinary resonant effects are not powerful enough to do do this kind of damage but nonlinear resonances can. These nonlinear instabilities are much less likely to form which explains why the character of THz genotoxic effects are probabilistic rather than deterministic, say the team. - Full Article Source

10/31/09 - Robins can 'see' magnetic fields
The information, relayed to a specialised light-processing region of the brain called ‘cluster N’, helps the robin navigate on migration flights. Experts know birds possess an internal magnetic compass, but there is disagreement about what form it takes. One idea is that tiny magnets in the beak wired to the nervous system detect lines of magnetic force. Another is that magnetic fields are ‘seen’ via the eyes using a complex light-sensitive mechanism. The new research suggests that, for robins at least, the second theory is probably correct. German scientists studied 36 European robins and found birds with damage to ‘cluster N’ were unable to orientate themselves using the Earth’s magnetic field. But damage to another nerve channel necessary for a beak-sensing system had no effect. - Full Article Source

14 Ways to Save Money on Fuel Costs
This eBook is the result of years of research into various methods to increase mileage, reduce pollution and most importantly, reduce overall fuel costs. It starts out with the simplest methods and offers progressively more detailed technologies that have been shown to reduce fuel costs. As a bonus to readers, I have salted the pages with free interesting BONUS items that correlate to the relevant page. Just filling up with one tank of gas using this or other methods explained here will pay for this eBook. Of course, many more methods are out there but I provided only the ones which I think are practical and can be studied by the average person who is looking for a way to immediately reduce their fuel costs. I am currently using two of the easier methods in my own vehicle which normally gets 18-22 mpg and now gets between 28 and 32 mpg depending on driving conditions. A tank of gas for my 1996 Ford Ranger costs about $45.00 here so I am saving around $15-$20 PER TANK, without hurting my engine and with 'greener' emissions due to a cleaner burn! The techniques provided in this ebook begin with simple things you can do NOW to improve your mileage and lower your gas costs. - $15 eBook Download / Source to Buy

KeelyNet BBS Files w/bonus PDF of 'Keely and his Discoveries'
Finally, I've gotten around to compiling all the files (almost 1,000 - about 20MB and lots of work doing it) from the original KeelyNet BBS into a form you can easily navigate and read using your browser, ideally Firefox but it does work with IE. Most of these files are extremely targeted, interesting and informative, I had forgotten just how much but now you can have the complete organized, categorized set, not just sprinklings from around the web. They will keep you reading for weeks if not longer and give you clues and insights into many subjects and new ideas for investigation and research. IN ADDITION, I am including as a bonus gift, the book (in PDF form) that started it all for me, 'Keely and his Discoveries - Aerial Navigation' which includes the analysis of Keely's discoveries by Dr. Daniel G. Brinton. This 407 page eBook alone is worth the price of the KeelyNet BBS CD but it will give you some degree of understanding about what all Keely accomplished which is just now being rediscovered, but of course, without recognizing Keely as the original discoverer. Chapters include; Vibratory Sympathetic and Polar Flows, Vibratory Physics, Latent Force in Interstitial Spaces and much more. These two excellent bodies of information will be sent to you on CD. To give some idea of how Keely's discoveries are being slowly rediscovered in modern times, check out this Keely History. If alternative science intrigues and fascinates you, this CD is what you've been looking for... - Source

Shape Power - Dan Davidson's analysis of the mysterious pyramid energies, Keely's aether force, Reich's orgone energy, Schauberger's diamagnetic energy, plus a host of others, and shows how shape and materials interact with the universal aether to modify the aether into electromagnetic, gravitic, and various healing energies... - Shape Power Youtube

The Physics of the Primary State of Matter - published in the 1930s, Karl Schappeller described his Prime Mover, a 10-inch steel sphere with quarter-inch copper tubing coils. These were filled with a material not named specifically, but which is said to have hardened under the influence of direct current and a magnetic field [electro-rheological fluid]. With such polarization, it might be guessed to act like a dielectric capacitor and as a diode...

'The Evolution of Matter' and 'The Evolution of Forces' on CD
Years ago, I had been told by several people, that the US government frequently removes books they deem dangerous or 'sensitive' from libraries. Some are replaced with sections removed or rewritten so as to 'contain' information that should not be available to the public despite the authors intent. A key example was during the Manhattan Project when the US was trying to finalize research into atomic bombs. They removed any books that dealt with the subject and two of them were by Dr. Gustave Le Bon since they dealt with both energy and matter including radioactivity. I had been looking for these two books for many years and fortunately stumbled across two copies for which I paid about $40.00 each. I couldn't put down the books once I started reading them. Such a wealth of original discoveries, many not known or remembered today. / Page 88 - Without the ether there could be neither gravity, nor light, nor electricity, nor heat, nor anything, in a word, of which we have knowledge. The universe would be silent and dead, or would reveal itself in a form which we cannot even foresee. If one could construct a glass chamber from which the ether were to be entirely eliminated, heat and light could not pass through it. It would be absolutely dark, and probably gravitation would no longer act on the bodies within it. They would then have lost their weight. / Page 96-97 - A material vortex may be formed by any fluid, liquid or gaseous, turning round an axis, and by the fact of its rotation it describes spirals. The study of these vortices has been the object of important researches by different scholars, notably by Bjerkness and Weyher. They have shown that by them can be produced all the attractions and repulsions recognized in electricity, the deviations of the magnetic needle by currents, etc. These vortices are produced by the rapid rotation of a central rod furnished with pallets, or, more simply, of a sphere. Round this sphere gaseous currents are established, dissymetrical with regard to its equatorial plane, and the result is the attraction or repulsion of bodies brought near to it, according to the position given to them. It is even possible, as Weyher has proved, to compel these bodies to turn round the sphere as do the satellites of a planet without touching it. / Page 149 - "The problem of sending a pencil of parallel Hertzian waves to a distance possesses more than a theoretical interest. It is allowable to say that its solution would change the course of our civilization by rendering war impossible. The first physicist who realizes this discovery will be able to avail himself of the presence of an enemy's ironclads gathered together in a harbour to blow them up in a few minutes, from a distance of several kilometres, simply by directing on them a sheaf of electric radiations. On reaching the metal wires with which these vessels are nowadays honeycombed, this will excite an atmosphere of sparks which will at once explode the shells and torpedoes stored in their holds. With the same reflector, giving a pencil of parallel radiations, it would not be much more difficult to cause the explosion of the stores of powder and shells contained in a fortress, or in the artillery sparks of an army corps, and finally the metal cartridges of the soldiers. Science, which at first rendered wars so deadly, would then at length have rendered them impossible, and the relations between nations would have to be established on new bases." - Source
