Your perfume may not be as rosy as you’d like to believe. Even though perfume may evoke images of a field of wildflowers, it actually consists of a variety of synthetic chemicals that are manufactured in laboratories. Many perfume ingredients are far from natural. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) listed 20 common perfume ingredients on the EPA’s Hazardous Waste list, such as benzene, benzyl alcohol, limonene, acetone and ethanol. Many of these chemicals list headaches, nausea and other complications as side effects.

As found in Ditmas Park, Brooklyn, an advertisement for Meatless Chicken Nuggets:

The first question you ask yourself is, seeing that the name is Quorn does that mean it’s, in fact, made…of corn?

It’s only logically seeing that it’s NOT MEAT. But no, it’s not as simple as that.

Chicken style? What the fugg is that? Like chickens run around in the wild shaped in breaded, bite sized morsels! You wonder how the hell is this going to taste. They answer the question for you..

Surprise! Its yummy! I know you’re expecting fuselage flavor, but surprise! It’s not halfway bad (according to them). I suspect it’s the same thing Chicken McNuggets are made of.  Speaking of which, what are these abominations made of?

Guess what? It’s made of fungus! Yum, de-licious! Chicken style, more like mushroom style…

But of course, it is 100% all natural right?

Wrong! It’s made with 100% natural man-made ingredients. Sing it with me,” its naturally synthetic!”

Just say no to mycoprotein, kids! I can’t believe it’s not chicken!

As QUORN’s slogan goes, “It might just …. you” Fill in the blank.

Many stylists receive special training from various hair extension companies and are certified to perform certain methods of the plant. Why do you want to have hair extensions in the first place? Well, for starters, they can be added on your own natural hair, at length, add volume and body. This is an important factor. Also, some hair extensions removed and replaced. Keep this in mind before making your decision, all hair extensionMethods have the potential to damage your hair. Before I continue with him, you have to understand how the hair extensions are attached and what can go wrong.

There are two types of hair extensions. You made of synthetic fibers and are referred to as synthetic hair extensions, human hair, or if they are as human hair extensions are made out above.

Human Hair extensions involve the attachment of humanHer hair to create hair for a full or long look immediately. Extensions are typically applied with glue and removed with acetone, which is a recipe for injury. The beauty industry recognized the demand for instant long natural looking hair and thus the hottest trend was born. Remember, these need hair extensions at regular intervals of every 2 weeks to be continued for several months, depending on the method used

You shouldTime to do a little research to see if hair extensions are for you. Hair extensions can cost hundreds, even thousands of dollars, so that raising a few dollars, even money well spent. When you buy your first extensions if you have the color of the extensions are not satisfied, you should immediately call to the beginning of process in this plant. It may be easier for the designer, a color when the hair extensions are not attached you change yourHead.

Whether you are always hair extensions, regular blow-dries, color or highlights, you need to invest time and money for the best results. As your hair grows out, some of the hair extensions must be removed and replaced or touched up. How often do you have to go back onto the type of hair, and the type of facility. Haarverlängerung could change overnight, or one that will last for many months.

Fashion Designers Going Green

by Shari Emami

In a world full of leather, fur and animal prints it seems rather unusual that the fashion industry would take interest in doing something “good” for the public as well as the environment. However, lately it seems that the opposite is true. Now we can attribute “going green” as  a new wave of trends that are going to environment- conscious folks.  According to reporter Kim Dean, designers are now using non-toxic dyes and fabrics produced without the use of pesticides. “Going green is the new black” she says.

I had the chance to go to New Mart in downtown LA and interview a designer for “Organic Calfornia Rising,” clothing line. According to her, L.A’s market week, ( which is a week just for buyers , exhibitors and retailers ),  has changed to a green and environmental- friendly  focus in fashion.  She says ” It’s a great opportunity to make people aware of the luxury and high- end line as well as do something good for the public.” As reported by the Women’s Wear Daily magazine, high- profile designers such as Jil Sander, Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, Donna Karan and Narcisco Rodgriguez are all jumping on board and  signing up for Earth’s pledges Future Fashion, ( which is a charity organization geared to raise awareness for eco- minded people).

Green Ingeo Fibers

However I could not help and ask myself,  isn’t all of this rather expensive? I mean the cost to make a garment is rather pricy, will business’s benefit from all this? Is there a lot of sacrifice here to make a piece using eco-friendly fabrics? According to Women’s Wear Daily ( WWD) magazine, ingeo fibers ( man – made fiber/material and re- usable fibers, made from plants instead of oil ),  cost 10-15 percent more  than regular cotton. However companies such as Moral Fenar, Elisa Jimenez and Nadia Fassi explain that it is well worth it to spend that much more if it means creating something good for the environment and public. It is also not hurting their business as going green seems to be a growing and staying trend.  This is rather refreshing news and I am soon to discover that fashion designers are not just out for profit. They have the public’s interest and  well – being in mind .Some of the most well known designers like Miu Miu are using scraps from the cutting-room and saving them for handbags and garments.

I have learned a lot from this industry as well as what is in “vogue” sometimes isn’t what you think it may be. I also discovered that what may profit a business can sometimes be what you least expect. “Going green is the new black” really is a profound statement. Not only are fashion designers “smartening” up, but they for sure have the public’s interest in mind, which for so long has not been a priority of this business. It’s not just about wearing something extravagant off the runway, if it’s extreme and good for the environment, then its all the better.

Includes WOODEN BONES!

“It’s odd to think of putting sticks of wood inside people as a revolutionary medical procedure, but that’s exactly what a group of Italian scientists is working on. They’re using wood — red oak, rattan and sipo work best — to create an artificial bone replacement called carbonated hydroxyapatite. Because of the sponginess of the wood, live bones are expected to grow into the structure faster than with traditional titanium or ceramic implants, decreasing the time it takes to mend a broken bone. The procedure isn’t quite ready for human testing, so sheep are currently testing the artificial bones.

Researchers say that with the bone substitute, which takes approximately one week to process, they can create virtually any size or shape”

Clip on hair extensions and clip in hair extensions is the same thing. They are a man-made synthetic hair used by women to give length volume and lift to their natural hair. Synthetic hair is different from human hair extensions because they are man-made consisting of a substance called kanekalon. It is also easier to maintain than human hair extensions.

Synthetic hair extensions come in a vast range of colors from natural like brown, black, blonde to not so natural like blue, pink, green and yellow. The choice of which hair color you opt for is up to you.

Apart from a huge range of colors that are available for clip on hair extensions they also come in different textures. You can get straight, wavy, curly and spiral hair extensions.

The main advantage of clip in hair extensions is choice. The choice to go with a long or short hair, be a blonde or a brunette, have straight hair or curly. You can change your look to suit your clothes or to copy a particular celeb.

Clip on hair extensions can be very long with lengths from shoulder length hair to a “Cher” like length that flows down the back. Whether the texture is curly, straight of waved the look is dramatic. The clip on style of hair extensions is very easy for a woman to use but these are only for temporary looks. They are as easy to use as the barrettes that children put in their hair.

Clip on hair extensions are a light weight product that do not feel like you have something pressing down on your head. They are easy to attach and not noticeable from your natural hair. With a little practise you should be able to apply the hair extensions in a matter of minutes.

Most women want to emulate the celeb they have seen on tv. or a super model on the catwalk. Believe it or not most celebs and models are not born with long luscious hair. It is the hair extensions that they use which is giving them that look, you can have that too.

The modern hair extension products are well made and the hair looks natural whether it is synthetic or natural hair. With different types of hair extension products, women are free to choose the best method for adding length and volume to their natural hair.

TED – Ideas worth spreading.

This week’s TED talk is by Rachel Armstrong who talks about a revolutionary new technique which may permanently change the way we think about architecture and construction.

In short it is a way of synthetically constructing living material, which can be used to perform specific tasks, e.g. converting one form of matter, say water, to another form, say limestone. She can explain better than I can:

energi minyak

Oli motor dirancang untuk melayani berbagai tujuan yang berbeda dalam mesin mobil. Walaupun fungsi energi minyak utama adalah dengan hanya melumasi semua bagian yang bergerak dan Bahan Bakar memberikan perlindungan dari keausan dan korosi juga dimaksudkan untuk menjaga mesin dingin dan bebas dari potongan-potongan kecil puing-puing.

Oli motor konvensional yang dibuat dari minyak mentah yang telah dipompa dari tanah dan kemudian diproses di kilang untuk membuat Tambang Minyak minyak dasar. Aditif kemudian dicampur ke minyak dasar untuk mengubah viskositas perlindungan properti dan panas tingkat kerusakan minyak.

Minyak sintetis juga dibuat dengan cara yang sama dengan minyak mesin konvensional dengan menggunakan minyak dasar yang dikombinasikan dengan serangkaian aditif. Perbedaannya terletak pada kenyataan bahwa oli motor sintetik dibuat menggunakan khusus quot disintesis quot pangkalan minyak di mana ukuran molekul minyak semua ideal berat badan dan ukuran yang Sumber Energi konsisten. Sementara oli motor konvensional meskipun Tambang Minyak proses penyulingan terdiri dari berbagai ukuran molekul yang dicampur bersama-sama bersama dengan berbagai lilin dan kotoran minyak sintetis yang sepenuhnya dibuat Kerja Keras untuk menyediakan dasar yang jauh lebih murni minyak dengan lebih sedikit wax dan dengan seragam ukuran partikel yang ideal untuk membantu meningkatkan tingkat viskositas minyak. Ditambahkan ke minyak ideal ini merupakan kombinasi dari lebih teknis aditif canggih Kerja Keras daripada digunakan dengan minyak konvensional.

The aditif yang digunakan dalam produksi minyak sintetis dapat membantu untuk menciptakan mesin yang sangat stabil minyak yang akan mempertahankan tingkat viskositas yang benar di berbagai macam suhu dan yang akan mengalir dengan baik pada temperatur yang lebih rendah jika dibandingkan terhadap minyak konvensional. Gesekan tambahan inhibitor yang diaktifkan pada temperatur lebih Minyak Tanah rendah daripada minyak konvensional umumnya termasuk dalam sintetis oli motor yang menyediakan perlindungan untuk mesin dari saat start-up.

Ini berarti bahwa minyak sintetis dirancang dengan sifat melumasi Minyak Tanah diperbaiki dan ditingkatkan viskositas untuk memberikan perlindungan lebih unggul dari mesin pakai mengurangi gangguan panas volatilitas untuk konsumsi minyak menurun meningkatkan bahan bakar jarak tempuh mesin dingin lebih mudah memulai dan pengurangan dalam mesin deposito.

The other day, I came across an article about an artificial hair transplant and whether it’s possible. The practice of artificial hair or synthetic hair transplantation to treat hair loss or androgenetic alopecia has yet to be approved by the FDA. But, in other countries, artificial hair restoration is being attempted. In addition, in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, there was a study published about artificial hair transplants, but the results are to be taken with a grain of salt as there weren’t a lot of participants. Nevertheless, it’s worth mentioning.

The article mentioned issues in the artificial hair implant process, which included: ineffective techniques, poor quality of hair fiber, and inexperienced surgeons. But, it’s important to note, the study’s aim is to convey the idea that artificial copolyamide fiber implantation seems to be relatively safe and a possible remedy to male pattern baldness or androgenetic alopecia.

The scientific study consisted of 10 androgenetic alopecia adult test subjects who had tried more mainstream hair restoration techniques but to no avail; these test subjects agreed to have copolyamide fiber implanted on their scalps and were followed a minimum of three years. Initial implants included 100 fibers followed by subsequent sessions of up to 500 fibers per four to six weeks for the purpose of achieving a density of 20-40 fibers per cm2.

Throughout the research, during fiber implants and follow-up sessions, the researchers maintained an almost exact adherence to schedule. For the study as a whole, 10,000 fibers were implanted; for each test subject, an average of 1000 fibers. Overall (except for one person), researchers found that the implants resulted in pleasant-looking hair, didn’t have any notable side effects, and the subjects emotionally satisfied. At the entry point of most fibers, sebum deposition and temporary pitting were consistent throughout. In 30 percent of test subjects, there was a case of recurrent mild folliculitis.

In this study, common complications such as facial swelling, cellulitis, and severe scarring were not detected. It is important to note, each year, 15 percent to 30 percent of transplanted fibers fell away, which led to required regular maintenance. To conclude the study, factors of significant importance were the method of fiber transplant technique and consistent follow-up, leading to positive results. In the near future, surgical hair transplants might be done with artificial hair for patients who don’t have quality donor hair and also are suffering from excessive baldness. But, much more testing is required to see whether artificial hair transplant can be an option for future hair loss patients.

Need a better intake filter? OCDiesel.com is offering the full line of aFe performance intake filters.

Check these out…

Pro Dry S Air Filters:

aFe offers you a better choice of oil-free filters: New Pro Dry S synthetic dry-media filters. Pro Dry S filters use a revolutionary two-ply synthetic material that is functionally superior to traditional paper media and single-ply synthetic, and easy to service. Pro Dry S dry-media filters increase airflow providing improved horsepower, torque, and fuel economy with 99.2%* filtration efficiency. Perhaps the greatest benefit of new Pro Dry S filters is the convenience of servicing these oil-free filters. To clean a Pro Dry S filter lightly tap it on the ground, vacuum it, or wash with soap and water. Solvents and oiling are not necessary. Replacement Pro Dry S filters for all air intake systems are also available and sold individually.

Pro 5R Air Filters:

Only aFe Pro-5R media is progressive in nature, offering 5 layers of progressively more tightly woven cotton gauze for protection levels in the high 98% range without sacrificing airflow. This high flow oiled conical performance filter provides excellent airflow for maximum horsepower and torque. Washable and reusable for multiple cleanings, the tall, open, evenly spaced pleats provide excellent dust holding capacity for longer service cycle between cleanings. Pliable polyurethane flange with integrated bumps insures tight, no leak seal over the life of the filter

Pro GUARD 7 Air Filters:

To address the need for extra protection from dust and dirt with washable/reusable oil-impregnated cotton gauze filters, aFe developed a new filtration technology so revolutionary that we applied for and received a patent. This new filtration technology is aptly called Pro-GUARD 7. With 5 layers of progressively finer mesh medical grade cotton gauze with micro fibers that attract smaller and smaller particles as air passes through is combined with 2 layers of random-porosity non-woven synthetic polyester fabric. These 7 layer combination of cotton gauze and non-woven polyester is sandwiched between 2 layers of epoxy coated aluminum wire mesh.

Because of compression ignition of diesel engines, the tolerance is much tighter than in a gasoline spark ignition engine. These tight tolerances require clean air and lots of it. Diesel engines require 7 times more air than a gasoline engine of equivalent size. The patented Pro-GUARD 7 filter media delivers more cool clean air needed for extended engine life, better fuel economy and additional power

Efficiency refers to a filters ability to efficiently filter out the dust and dirt particles from entering the air intake of the vehicle over time. Pro-GUARD 7 was developed with the need for high efficiency in mind. Generally accepted SAE standard for filtration efficiency is 99.5% fine dust. There is course dust efficiency and fine dust efficiency. 99.50% course dust efficiency is not difficult to achieve. Typical performance/cotton gauze filters will five you the airflow you need, but they sacrifice filtration efficiency to do so. They achieve the 99.5% course dust efficiency. The 99.5% fine dust efficiency is a different matter. Fine dust is what you want to keep out in the tighter tolerance turbo diesel engine. Pro-GUARD 7 has been tested to surpass 99.5% fine dust filtration efficiency while delivering high airflow.

energi minyak

Untuk menggunakan atau tidak menggunakan karena itu adalah pertanyaan maaf untuk Shakespeare . Kedua mobil kekasih dan mereka yang hanya menggunakan mobil dan truk untuk mendapatkan sekitar telah bergumul dalam pikiran mereka sendiri apakah mereka harus mengikuti semua panduan produsen atau dapat mereka menggunakan pasar setelah bagian aksesoris dan cairan http //www.a -car -truck-stuff.com/aftermarketcarparts di kendaraan mereka. Pertempuran itu telah melancarkan selama bertahun-tahun dan meskipun aku ingin mengakhirinya di sini dan sekarang Anda harus memutuskan untuk diri sendiri. Apakah minyak sintetis produk yang lebih baik untuk digunakan dalam mobil truk sepeda motor RV energi minyak atau motor lainnya Yah pertama-tama mari diingat bahwa minyak sintetis buatan TIDAK – bukan buatan atau plastik seperti substansi disulap di bagian belakang beberapa ilmuwan gila laboratorium. Sebab jika benar-benar buatan manusia kita bisa membuatnya di akan dan tidak akan kekurangan minyak dan kenaikan harga bensin besar akan kita

Sebaliknya minyak sintetis dapat dianggap sebagai minyak dasar yang telah molecularly dimanipulasi untuk berfungsi lebih baik di bawah tekanan panas dan gesekan. Karena itu ia membutuhkan minyak mentah sebagai basis produk dan kemudian quot dibangun quot dari sana. Aditif Energi Minyak ditambahkan tetapi beberapa aditif yang sama juga ditambahkan ke quot normal quot juga minyak – sehingga yang bukan masalah apa yang di dalamnya sebanyak itu dengan cara terstruktur.

Agar mesin anda berfungsi dengan benar dan dengan kekuatan yang memadai sebuah pelumas oli motor harus melakukan empat fungsi utama IT HARUS melumasi untuk menyimpan semua bagian logam pada mesin Anda dari harfiah quot saling menggosok mentah quot . Bagian dibuat licin oleh minyak dan mereka meluncur di dan / atau melawan satu sama lain tanpa memakai signifikan sehingga meningkatkan umur panjang motor. MELINDUNGI minyak juga harus tidak hanya melawan pakai tetapi juga terhadap korosi komponen mesin oksidasi minyak dan kontaminasi melalui kondensasi dan produk pembakaran oleh semua menyebabkan asam dalam minyak mesin. alami produk sampingan dari pembakaran adalah asam – yang tentu saja adalah korosif dan akan quot makan quot bagian logam. Minyak ini dirancang untuk melindungi terhadap proses ini tetapi seperti yang akan kita lihat tidak semua minyak diciptakan sama . Bahkan saya secara pribadi telah melihat demonstrasi di mana minyak ditempatkan pada sebuah piring entah ATF gigi atau minyak motor dan engkol tangan pemukul telur digunakan untuk mengaduk itu. Beberapa minyak biasanya sintetis akan naik pengopyok telur itu langsung ke atas sementara yang lain akan tinggal di dalam mangkuk dan mulai busa ke atas. Demonstrasi ini dirancang untuk menunjukkan kemampuan minyak untuk mengakses cepat ke bagian-bagian yang rentan dan menciptakan penghalang pelumas terhadap panas dan gesekan.

Minyak harus juga BERSIH. Mesin harus tetap bersih atau kehilangan efisiensi. Deposito dalam sebuah mesin permen karet atas karya-karya dan mengurangi efisiensi bahan bakar saat merampok kinerja mesin Anda. Selain itu kontaminan dalam minyak yang tersisa quot terjaga quot dapat menyebabkan tak terhitung memakai dalam sebuah mesin. Dan terakhir minyak harus COOL. The crankshaft camshaft timing gears piston batang penghubung utama dan bantalan dan banyak komponen mesin penting lainnya yang didinginkan terutama energi minyak oleh oli motor di dalam mesin Anda. Radiator biasanya dianggap sebagai sistem pendingin primer dan sementara itu memainkan bagian penting bukan utama untuk mesin pendingin. Panas yang dihasilkan dalam sebuah mesin dari kedua proses pembakaran dan gesekan yang disebabkan oleh gerakan komponen mesin. Minyak melewati sistem itu diarahkan ke permukaan yang panas ini dalam rangka untuk membawa panas pergi ke oli. Dari sini didisipasikan panas ke udara sekitar panci.

Jadi kita lihat di singkat tujuan minyak tapi pertanyaan tetap-sintetik atau dari rak quot normal quot minyak – yang akan memberikan perlindungan yang terbaik

Beberapa Cepat Oil Fakta … Minyak
filter adalah bagian penting dari persamaan di sini – dan banyak filter oli motor hanya efisien pada menghilangkan partikel lebih besar dari mikron tapi satu yang efisien filter partikel yang lebih kecil hanya mikron akan mengurangi memakai mesin Dengan demikian semua filter minyak tidak diciptakan sama.

Ada setidaknya empat pabrik oli motor yang merekomendasikan . hingga . mil ganti oli interval dan yang diperpanjang menguras oli motor telah tersedia selama hampir tahun Masalahnya adalah bahwa perusahaan-perusahaan yang menjual minyak ke konsumen tidak terlalu termotivasi untuk membuat bahwa sebuah fakta terkenal karena takut laba yang lebih rendah.

Beberapa sintetis tidak benar-benar quot sintetik quot sama sekali. Apakah Anda sadar bahwa banyak campuran sintetis yang dikonsumsi hampir sama mudahnya seperti minyak bumi walaupun Anda membayar paling sedikit dua kali lebih banyak untuk mereka

Extreme dingin dapat merusak hampir sama oli motor Anda sebagai ekstrem panas.

Apakah Anda mengendarai sepeda motor Produsen sepeda motor memiliki kecenderungan untuk menggunakan motor sudah ketinggalan zaman tahun -an teknologi minyak dan biaya Anda harga tinggi untuk mereka yang disebut OEM Motorcycle dirancang minyak. Namun Anda dapat membeli minyak sintetis yang sangat baik dengan harga yang sama yang akan meningkatkan kinerja perlindungan dan sepeda Anda.

Menemukan viskositas yang tepat – Ketebalan Bagi banyak orang yang lebih baru hanya kendaraan bermotor w atau w minyak direkomendasikan oleh produsen – dan dalam beberapa kasus hanya w . Menurut quot Motor Oil Alkitab quot jika Anda memilih untuk menggunakan minyak viskositas yang lebih tinggi daripada apa yang disarankan paling tidak Anda akan cenderung untuk mengurangi kinerja mesin. Bahan bakar akan cenderung turun. Kemungkinan akan performa mesin drop. Dalam bulan-bulan musim dingin dianjurkan bahwa Anda tidak menggunakan minyak kelas yang lebih berat daripada apa yang direkomendasikan oleh produsen. Dalam kondisi mulai dingin Anda bisa sangat baik akan menyebabkan lebih banyak memakai mesin daripada ketika menggunakan minyak viskositas yang lebih ringan. Dalam bulan-bulan musim panas pergi ke kelas yang lebih berat kurang dari suatu masalah tapi masih ada beberapa hal yang harus diperhatikan. Secara pribadi saya berbicara dengan pemilik mobil Mercedes Benz tua yang setelah ia beralih dari oli motor biasa untuk sintetis melihat langsung kemudahan dalam memulai – sebenarnya nya soket lampu menyala terang langsung daripada harus menunggu untuk minyak hangat seperti sebelum.

Keuntungan dari Synthetic Oil

Ditebak sifat dan kinerja
Keseragaman
karakteristik produk yang akan menghasilkan produksi yang lebih rendah penolakan dan menurunkan biaya pemeliharaan

Panjang hidup minyak
Enhanced
stabilitas termal dan oksidasi yang akan menghemat uang dengan menggunakan sedikit minyak kurang downtime dan lebih lama filter kehidupan.

Mengurangi konsumsi minyak
Lower volatilitas
menghemat uang dengan sedikit top off kurang persediaan dan viskositas lebih baik retensi

Memenuhi persyaratan tertentu
Khusus
spesifikasi militer dan kondisi operasi berat orang dilakukan di mana pelumas lain gagal.

Safer operasi
Flash Tinggi
poin titik api dan penyalaan spontan mengurangi risiko kerugian kebakaran dan peralatan – menghemat uang

Secara keseluruhan keuntungan dari pelumas sintetik

menghemat energi

meningkatkan efisiensi

mengurangi biaya operasional

mengurangi pemeliharaan dan downtime

peralatan meningkatkan kehidupan

memperpanjang hidup pelumas

Pada akhirnya perlu diingat bahwa minyak sintetis hari ini benar-benar kompatibel dengan minyak petroleum. Ini tidak selalu terjadi tetapi penggunaan luas sintetis yang sekarang membuat kompatibilitas suatu keharusan. Jadi secara teknis Anda bahkan bisa mencampur Anda sendiri minyak semi-sintetis. Namun Anda akan melihat secara eksponensial hasil yang lebih baik dengan menggunakan sintetis penuh daripada dengan pergi dengan semi-sintetis minyak. Anda tidak akan menyebabkan kerusakan apapun – Anda hanya akan mendapatkan hasil yang tidak membayar Anda dan berharap untuk dengan semi-sintetis.

Keputusan Anda – oli motor biasa atau sintetis Pilihan Anda tetapi saya yakin manfaatnya jelas.

I found this bombshell aids allegations on The Panache Report and dont even know what to say about …I’m speechless

According to authors Jonathan Vankin and John Whalen along with anapsid.org, the following took place 4 decades ago.

June 9, 1969

Dr. Donald MacArthur had a meeting with a small group of politicians. An official record of that meeting, obtained through the Freedom of Information Act provides shocking revelations 40 years later.

Dr. MacArthur reported that within 5 to 10 years it would be possible to create a synthetic biological agent that would disable the human immune system. Two versions would be developed, one that would leave its victims dead, and another that would chronically disable its victims.

1976-1984

Isolated cases of two strange new diseases began appearing in the U.S. and in Africa. Some of the victims died; others remained seriously ill for years.

By 1984, there were two epidemics underway. AIDS was rapidly spreading through many third world countries and the homosexual population of North America. Clusters of a mysterious disease later named chronic fatigue syndrome were reported throughout North America.

We now know that both illnesses are characterized by marked loss of immune system integrity. One of the diseases kills its victims, while the other disables. It is interesting to note that Dr. MacArthur’s timeline of 5-10 years puts us well within the years that AIDS and CFS first made their debuts.

Keep in mind, this speculation that has never been proven.

In your opinion, is this merely a coincidence?

Today’s soaring fertilizer prices prompt South America’s fruit producers to use less fertilizer and to analyze soil and plants to make production more efficient. These farmers who pay two-three times more for fertilizers, but receive less and less money for their products are especially feeling the squeeze.

Fruchincha, a 3.000 hectares plantation in Chincha, Peru produces grape, avocado and citrus. It employs 2000 people and exports 50% of its produce to Europe, 30% to the United States, and 20% to Asia and domestic markets.

Its main product for exportation is grapes, and its price between 2006 and 2008 had been U.S$18 per box (8.2 kg). Two years ago, a farmer in Peru would receive approximately 61 Peruvian soles for every box sold. But because the dollar’s value is down and importers still pay the same price in foreign currency a farmer today would only get around 50 soles.

Furthermore, Fruchincha’s production costs increased 30% in 2008 due to high fertilizer and petroleum prices. In addition, the weak U.S. dollar is making exports less profitable for them, and this is forcing them to cut expenses by using less fertilizers.

Demand for fertilizers grew five percent from 2006 to 2007 and tripled by July 2008. The three biggest consumers are China and India in Asia, and Brasil in Latin America.

One of the reasons for the sudden jump in demand is increased crop production for biodiesel. The extra land that is used to produce crops for ethanol needs fertilizers too, that makes them scarce and expensive.

“There are about 1.5 million hectares of land in Chile used to produce fruit for exportation, but in Brasil the same amount of land is used solely to produce sugar canes and maize to create ethanol.” says Francisco Bello, a forestry engineer.

Fertilizers are combinations of nutrients that help plants to develop. The most essential elements are phosphorus, potassium and nitrogen. Phosphate fertilizers are manufactured mostly in the United States, Morocco and along the Baltic Sea. According to International Fertilizer Development Center, the price of diammonium phosphate, the main phosphate fertilizer, rose from US$252 in January 2007 to US$1203 per ton by July 2008 (U.S. Gulf price).

Potash, the source of potassium is mined. Canada produces 40% of the world’s potash, followed by Russia and Belarus. The price of muriate of potash rose from US$172 in January 2007 to US$752 per ton by July 2008 (Vancouver price).

President and Chief Executive Officer of IFDC Amit H. Roy says “Prices of phosphate and potash fertilizers are rising more steeply than the price of nitrogen-based urea because production sources are more limited. Most of the world’s phosphate for fertilizer is mined and thus, a non-renewable resource.”

Nitrogen is 78.1% of the air and it is turned into fertilizer using the Haber-Bosch process. In the process natural gas is used to convert atmospheric nitrogen to usable forms such as ammonia and urea. The price of a ton of urea rose from US$272 in January to US$787 by July 2008 (Arab Gulf price).

Natural gas represents about 22% of global energy use, and demand is growing for its liquified format. As natural gas is a main ingredient in making ammonia, soaring gas prices can drive the cost of fertilizers even higher.

“We need to develop other methods of creating energy and fertilizers such as using wind-power, or other renewable resources, because many of the fertilizers derive from petroleum.” says Arturo Arzani Anders, production inspector of Fruchincha.

The increase in price has made farmers look for solutions to bring production costs down. One way to do that is to analyze the soil and plants from the farm. The farmer needs to send a mixture of the soil from the plantation, a bottle of water that is used to irrigate and a plant to a laboratory.

Without an analysis a grower might add nutrients to the soil that it already contains. It can cause the plant to overgrow without producing fruit. This can limit the farms output, and at the same time elevate production costs, because more fertilizers are applied than needed.

It is advised to do two analysis a year to be up to date and also “If there is something wrong with the plants the past analysis can be checked against the most recent one to find out what the problem is” says Rosita Espinoza, owner of Agrolab, the biggest private laboratory in Chile.

Additionally, due to the high price of petroleum, transportation costs have risen significantly too. It takes 42 days to transport Fruchincha’s products to Asia, 30-35 days to Europe and 15 days to the United States, so the fruits need to be capable to travel the long distances.

Nevertheless, soon they may not need to travel at all, because their production will become unprofitable, says Anders. “Our importers in the United States and Europe now look to buy fruit from closer markets, such as Mexico or Africa.”

Semula berpikir hanya menggunakan olie rekomendasi pabrikan, tetapi hasil yang didapat kurang menyenangkan (jangan dipermasalahkan ya…semua pengguna CS1 pasti tahulah J). Akhirnya mengadakan riset kecil-kecilan tentang olie buat motor CS1. Tujuannya adalah mendapatkan performa terbaik di rentang harga kurang dari 60 ribuan. Memang di beberapa forum banyak menganjurkan penggunaan olie Motul 5100 Ester(wah kantong bisa bobolnich) , tapi harganya yang mahal walaupun kualitas tidak diragukan. Dirange harga tersebut ada beberapa nama yang direkomendasikan oleh forum-forum komunitas seperti Shell Advance VSX, Castrol, BM1, Motul 3100 dan Enduro Racing. Tetapi jarang yang menyarankan menggunakan Fastron. Olie Fastron ini terdiri dari 3 macam yaitu : Forced Synthetic(10W40), Synthetic (10W40) dan Full Synthetic (5W30). Dan yang digunakan adalah Synthetic (10W40)

Sedangkan yang sudah saya gunakan adalah Federal Ultratech 20W50, Federal Supreme XX 20W50, Federal Prime Red 10W30, Motul Multipower 20W50, Motul 15W50, Motul 3100 15W50, Fastron 10W40 Synthetic dan MPX1. Kalau dibikin kategori maka akan muncul 2 kategori olie berdasarkan harga yaitu :

Harga kurang dari 40Ribu yang diwakili oleh semua Olie Federal dan MPX1, sedangkan yang belum dicoba adalah Enduro & Enduro Racing
Harga antara 40Ribu sampai 60Ribu yang diwakili oleh Motul dan Fastron.

Nah pada kesempatan ini akan direview olie Fastron synthetic 10W40. Sebelum menggunakan Fastron, motor selalu pakai olie Motul dari multipower terus berganti ke Motul 3100 yang sudah mendapat lisensi JASO MA. Semua olie motul mempunyai bau yang khas. Bau tersebut tidak tercium pada saat menggunakan olie Federal. Tetapi tercium pada saat menggunakan olie Fastron. Seketika muncul dugaan wah mungkin oli ini paling tidak sekelas dengan Motul 3100 atau Multipower. Kenapa begitu ? Karena harganya dan baunya kok sejenis atau ada kemiripan.

Pada saat dipakai motor terasa ringan mirip karakter Federal Prime Red. Hanya saja tarikan terasa halus sehingga motor mudah dikendalikan. Setelah kilometer ke 300 tarikan terasa agak berat, tetapi tidak berlangsung lama. Sampai pada kilometer ke 1000 olie dicheck fisik masih terlihat Kuning bening. Sedangkan pada Motul 3100 dan Multipower sudah mulai terlihat agak kuning gelap walaupun tidak berpengaruh terhadap performanya. Artinya olie Fastron ini belum mengalami degradasi material.

Pada kilometer 1500 pun motor masih sangat nyaman digunakan seperti pada saat pertama kali dituang. Hmmmm hebat juga nih olie, kagak rugi dech kalau begini. Hanya ada perubahan suara mesin yang agak kasar sedikit. Ketika dicheck fisik, olie mulai berwarna lebih gelap, tapi mirip warna olie Motul pada saat di Kilometer 1000.

Di kilometer 2000 dicheck ulang fisik olie sudah kelihatan hitam kekuningan tetapi performa tetap maknyuusss walaupun suara rada kasar dikit. Estimasi olie sanggup bertahan sampai kilometer 3000. Dan pada kilometer 2600 olie Fastron diganti karena mau mencoba olie rekomendasi pabrikan yang lain yaitu MPX1. Kondisi olie hitam sempurna dan kalau dilihat dicahaya yang terang masih kelihatan lapisan kuning di lapisan teratasnya. Performa masih nyaman. Estimasi masih bisa bertahan minimal 200 kilometer lagi.

Pada akhirnya olie ini rekomended sekali meskipun belum sertifikasi JASO MA, perpindahan gigi sempurna, tarikan halus dan cukup responsif seperti olie 10W30, performa mantap dan yang terakhir produksi dalam negeri. Semoga banyak brother dan sister yang beralih ke Fastron bukan karena hanya cinta tanah air tapi memang performanya bisa diandalkan. Nggak percaya ? Silakan dicoba.

(Di lain kesempatan akan dibandingkan range harga olie kisaran 40 Ribuan)

Week 3 of Visual Language we learned about  Point, Line,  Pattern and Texture.  We began with a recap on previous weeks including the difference between ‘art’ and ‘language’, Cubism as a visual language. Then we moved onto Form, Shape & Space. We then talked about Point, Line, Pattern and Texture. We learned how the human mind loves to connect up the dots in point and interpret them as shapes, connecting dots like this is called grouping/gestalt. We learned how lines can convey alot of emotions  such as angry or gentle and can show a feeling of movement or direction. We discussed pattern how a sense of flow can be achieved thru different backgrounds, branching designs, spiral designs etc. Texture is a 3 Dimensional design and contains visual as well as physical properties through which alot of emotions can be expressed.

We then continued working on our projects in the Visual Language Lab. I have now finished my 60 designs and admit it was tough going to get 60 designs completed within the 2 weeks timeframe. Below is a few examples, I choose the sun.

WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE!!!

I’m saddened and to hear about this child’s health problems.  I am furious that it has happened. Here is the link to the story about 10 year old Hannah Powell Auslam who has already undergone one surgery and is facing another. 

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,520190,00.html

Her family has a website that is chronicling her fight:

 http://www.ourlittlesweetpea.com

 I’m going to make a layman’s (but a well researched) summary of what has happened here. Hannah lives in California, one of the most polluted parts of the world. The air, soil and water have been contaminated by years of relentless pesticide spraying.

Synthetic Estrogen- a known endocrine disruptor is still being pumped into the water supply and into animals which are then processed into food and milk and personal care products like soap and shampoo.

Early puberty is a MAJOR problem in the United States because of the estrogen poisoning that is being done. Physiological gender confusion is another growing problem for the same reason.

My thought is that because of the overdose of estrogen and other agents, compounds, contaminates etc. rushed this young girl into early puberty. This created massive cellular activity which then brought on this cancer. We are going to see more and more of these cases. I’m hearing from a well-respected pediatrician in NYC that she is seeing children as young as 2 with pubic hair and breast development.

 I read several quotes from doctors who say they are “shocked” that this could happen. They need to get their head out of their textbooks and think for a moment. Medical school is over, think big picture.

President Obama has said one of his goals is the eradication of cancer. Here’s his chance to prove he not just media hype. If he really has the courage to do something about this-he needs to call in the CEO’s of Big Food, Big Pharma and Big Chemical and lay down the law and tell them that the poisoning of America must stop now.

 I doubt this will happen and the poisonings will continue.

It’s only fitting
that a substance so yielding
manifests in this century —
an era of great
plasticity
where convenience
is prized,
anything is possible
and dreams can be
supersized.

Noun or adjective?
Mutant or mineral?
Impersonal, pliable,
everyone’s friend—
reaching the ends
of the earth like cancer
or an obnoxious aura;
finding its way
even to Antarctica —

formless matter
from the earth’s fat marrow
it rises, coaxed to life,
cheaper than paper,
more crucial than gold:
an odd sort of colloid
with untold potential
to capture and mold,
a flick of the wrist
of a restless molecule,
and all things
become possible

infiltrating all creation,
our bodies, seas, land,
blood —
melted stitches of surgeries,
the duck in my child’s fist
this LCD screen—
names of polymers
cold like Aphex Twin,
soft on my skin:
rayon — dacron — orlon
creating needs
previously unfelt
like a stealthy professional lover
going deep within,
melting to please
seducing our souls
appearing in dreams
and in the hearts of the innocent,
replacing rocks and trees 
with Elmoes and Barbies,
making nature obsolete.

Our desires, 
finally made flesh —
cast for eternity
in a substrate befitting the masses,
bumbling Prometheans
waving Zippos to a God
who’s really just Jimmy Buffet,
and hoping that
the cheeseburgers in paradise
come with special sauce.

DaVinci Roofscapes is famous for their slate and shake tile.  DaVinci Roofscapes began in 1999; they are located in Kansas City, KS.  DaVinci prides itself on being the lead provider of authentic looking and durable synthetic slate and shake tile roofing.  They are maintenance free and backed by a 50 year limited warranty.

The DaVinci products resist curling, cracking, mold, fading, algae, insects and fungus.  Because DaVinci tiles resist water it allows the tiles to be installed in all weather conditions.  Also their shake and slate synthetic tiles resist fire, high wind and high impact. DaVinci Roofscapes slate and shake synthetic roof tiles are contributing to the LEED certification process (LEED-NC Standard 2.2).  They are aiding us in our continued effort to gain our LEED certification for our Green Life Smart Life home.

The Green life Smart Life house has chose to use the slate roofing for its exceptional appeal and durability.  Although it is a synthetic slate it comes with the same look and durability as its natural counterpart.  It allows the Green Life Smart Life home to gain the look of slate without using up natures resources.  It is also much more cost effective than using real slate.  In addition the instillation process is also remarkably easier than installing natural slate with the changing of size and texture.

The DaVinci roofs are easy to install and require no special tools or instructions.  They are embedded with state of the art UV stabilizers.  The product was developed with contractors in mind, they are packaged by size and color making them easier to use.  They are also made in 5 different shapes and sizes allowing for a more authentic look and easier installation.

The DaVinci tiles are also all 100% recyclable making them even more appealing to the consumer, rather than the traditional roofing which takes up enormous space in the local landfill.  To save on transportations costs DaVinci compounds, molds and finishes all the lightweight tiles in their Kansas facility to save energy and also transportation costs.
