Appendix 12.1: Optimal Detection is Regression
The detection technique that has been used in most "optimal detection" studies performed to date has several equivalent representations (Hegerl and North, 1997; Zwiers, 1999). It has recently been recognised that it can be cast as a multiple regression problem with respect to generalised least squares (Allen and Tett, 1999; see also Hasselmann, 1993, 1997) in which a field of n "observations" y is represented as a linear combination of signal patterns g1,...,gm plus noise u
where G=(g1|...|gm) is the matrix composed of the signal patterns and a=(a1,...,am)T is the vector composed of the unknown amplitudes. The field usually contains temperature observations, arrayed in space, either at the surface as grid box averages of surface temperature observations (typically 55 degrees; Santer et al., 1995; Hegerl et al., 1997; Tett et al., 1999), or in the vertical as zonal averages of radiosonde observations (Karoly et al., 1994; Santer et al., 1996a; Allen and Tett, 1999). The fields are masked so that they represent only those regions with adequate data. The fields may also have a time dimension (Allen and Tett, 1999; North and Stevens; 1998; Stevens and North, 1996). Regardless of how the field is defined, its dimension n (the total number of observed values contained in any one single realisation of the field) is large. The signal patterns, which are obtained from climate models, and the residual noise field, have the same dimension. The procedure consists of efficiently estimating the unknown amplitudes a from observations and testing the null hypotheses that they are zero. In the event of rejection, testing the hypothesis that the amplitudes are unity for some combination of signals performs the attribution consistency test. This assumes, of course, that the climate model signal patterns have been normalised. When the signal is noise-free, estimates of the amplitudes are given by
where Cuu is the nn covariance matrix of the noise (Hasselmann, 1997, 1998; Allen and Tett, 1999; Levine and Berliner, 1999). Generalisations allow for the incorporation of signal uncertainties (see, for example, Allen et al., 2000b). A schematic two-dimensional example is given in Box 12.1. In essence, the amplitudes are estimated by giving somewhat greater weight to information in the low variance parts of the field of observations. The uncertainty of this estimate, expressed as the mm covariance matrix of Caa of ã, is given by
This leads to a (1-)100% confidence ellipsoid for the unknown amplitudes when u is the multivariate Gaussian that is given by
where 21- is the (1-) critical value of the chi-squared distribution with m degrees of freedom. Marginal confidence ellipsoids can be constructed for subsets of signals simply by removing the appropriate rows and columns from GTC-1uuG and reducing the number of degrees of freedom. The marginal (1-)100% confidence interval for the amplitude of signal i (i.e., the confidence interval that would be obtained in the absence of information about the other signals) is given by
where Z1-/2 is the (1-/2) critical value for the standard normal distribution. Signal i is said to be detected at the /2100% significance level if the lower limit confidence interval (A12.1.5) is greater than zero. However, "multiplicity" is a concern when making inferences in this way. For example, two signals that are detected at the /2100% significance level may not be jointly detectable at this level. The attribution consistency test is passed when the confidence ellipsoid contains the vector of units (1,...,1)T.

My primary concern when riding a CaBi is staying under 30 minutes, so as to avoid the $1.50 luxury tax (not an actual luxury tax) associated with keeping the bike out for more than half an hour. This can be short-circuited by temporarily redocking the bike, counting to 10 and then taking the bike out again, which I felt I would need to do since there's no way that I was going to make the eight plus mile trip in under a half hour. I planned to dock at 15 and P, which seemed about half-way and sort of reasonable. So I set off the from the Armory station (19th and East Capitol- the one closer to my abode [I don't live in a house; I live in an abode. If I were a Pueblo, I'd livee in an adobe abode] is not yet installed), salmoning in the wrong side of the street bike lane waiting for traffic to clear up so I could move over, which it did half a block later. Technically, I wouldn't say that I'm reckless when riding a CaBi, but I probably engage in behaviors that I wouldn't countenance if I were on my own bike. In any case, the ride along the Hill was fine with a bunch of other bicyclists out, including a guy on an Xtracycle who I've seen before. He might or might not have yelled at a girl turning her bike right on red without stopping from 2nd NE. I see this move quite a lot and I have some advice for bicyclists who do this: don't. Rights-of-way (unlike rites-of-whey, popular in body-building circles) are important to bicyclists and just because you're also on a bike doesn't mean that you get some sort of free pass and get to ride all libertine and whatnot (Libertine and Whatnot is the title of my forthcoming book on flapper culture) and can cut off other bicyclists.
I rode down the path through the Capitol, rather than on the street and it was quite pleasant. I think I might start doing this from now on, avoiding the slim likelihood of a motorist reversing his or her car into me as I exceed the posted 10 mile per hour speed limit downhill.
Pennsylvania was fine and I rode behind two woman bicyclists, one in casual street clothes, the other in athletic (but not bike-specific) attire. I don't have much to offer in the way of social commentary, except maybe perhaps the observation the gender doesn't determine the likelihood to dress one particular way or another and that it's circumstances at your final destination and personal comfort that dictate how one dresses on a bike. Maybe?
There was a man outside of the McPherson Square CVS holding up a cardboard sign. I don't know if he was protesting or advertising. But these days, it's hard to tell. (Trenchant social analysis or banal observation? These days it's hard to tell)
The dock and undock at 15 and P went according to plan, in spite of the construction taking place at the corner blocking the station somewhat. The ride on R was fine, except for the almost always blocked bike lane. I understand the practicality (from the driver's standpoint) of wanting to try to pull around a stopped taxi by driving in the bike lane, but it really is massively inconvenient, if not plainly illegal, when the light turns red and they've managed to block the whole thing. But I'm hard-pressed to imagine that we live in a world where the sanctity of the bike lane is respected and a driver wouldn't be expected to pull into the "empty" space to get around an idling taxi or truck. Share the road, I guess.
Anyway, all of the stopping on R caused me to start freaking out about the time and assume that there was no way that I would make my half hour goal of getting the whole way to campus. So, I needed a back-up plan and decided that I would aim to dock/undock in Glover Park (since there are no stations [or churrerias] along Mass) and take Wisconsin up for the next part of the trip.
While riding along R, I was passed way to closely by an impatient cyclist behind me and I waited somewhat too impatiently to try to pass the bicyclist in front of me. She, so I found out, had developed some sort of relationship with a crossing guard and stopped at an intersection so he could give her one of his "flyers," for what I don't know. I don't have any longstanding relationships with crossing guards or anyone along my route really. I consider it a bit of a personal failing, given my apparent willingness to talk to strangers and/or nod at them.
At the Glover Park station, there were two bike security officers and they looked relatively happy to be patrolling on bicycles. This is unlike the motorists stuck on Observatory Circle, backed-up and waiting to turn onto Massachusetts. I imagine this car traffic will only get worse as bus service from Glover Park continues to be rolled back. I have great sympathy for anyone who drives to work downtown. It must suck.
Wisconsin was a good climb, but the CaBi can handle it. Same with the down and up the rest of the way to work. At Ward Circle, I was stopped behind a car with a bumper sticker for Cityhood for DC. One of the things I did to pass the time as I sat in traffic in Maryland driving home on Saturday was think about retrocession. I just don't know how revenues and expenditures would work in this kind of plan. The site doesn't seem to address budgetary issues. Yeah, I'm gonna end on "budgetary issues."

For the First time, I feel LoveMy first album of U2 was "Under a Blood Red Sky" when I was only 14 years old in 1988. 10 years later I was in this show of POPMART TOUR in São Paulo and I can remember every moment until today. It was very special to me to see Bono, Edge, Adam and Larry playing my favorite songs of my favorite band and my favorite singer. It was unforgettable, I went with my girlfriend, today she is my wife and we have a beautiful son and U2 is the soundtrack of our lives. I love you Bono and I love U2 and this feeling is too special and too strong as a kind of spiritual connection, It´s a great feeling!!! Thanks for everything!!!
11 April, 2011
Good memoriesThis was the first time I've seen an U2 concert. I was only 17 and I had the best time of my life. I've been to another two U2 concerts in Brazil (2006 and 2011), but I'll never forget the day when this band simply hypnotized me :P TYVM for bringing your music into my life.
25 August, 2010
What a show!Even with the presence of a painful ex-boyfriend, the show was much more than I ever dreamed of! Saying that it was a dream coming to life...see U2 live! I'm brazilian, but now I live in New Zealand, soon relocating to Australia. I missed the last concerts here but I wont miss for the world the concert in Brisbane Dec/10...only if I DIE...ahahahha! See you there!
02 August, 2010
From Buenos Aires to Sao PauloI born and I have lived all my life in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I'm a fan of U2 since the earliest '80s but I never could see them at live because they had never given a show in South America ... until 1998. At that time, the Pop Mart Tour was running, and I prefered not to wait to see them in Buenos Aires, where finally I saw two of the three shows than they provided. So I planned my vacations to go to Brazil, and stay in Sao Pablo right in the moment when U2 would give his first concert, a week before than in my city. That was my first U2's show (January 30, 1998).
28 September, 2009
Out of a Lemon?!?All I have to say is that my friends told me I was more anxious to see U2 than I was on my wedding day!!! It was the first time I could ever see them live ... I`d been waiting for that since 1984. And then, it was way more than I could ever imagine it would be! Even coming out of a Lemon was awesome!

OK, we'll come back to that in a minute.
Back in November, the theme for the 6-12" Mini Quilt Swap was "words". My fast friend Sonja and I were both so indecisive about signing up for it that we missed the boat and partners were assigned without us. Well, we decided to pair up and swap with each other. And we also decided to waive the month-end deadline, make it through the holiday season, take our time and have fun with it.
Well, I received my package from Sonja this week and, boy, was it worth the wait!
First, the goodies:
Check out that package!! Let's take a closer look at what's in there.
First, for Mrs. Quilt Dad:
Some nautical fabrics and matching ribbon. Sonja's incredibly thoughtful note said "For Mrs. Quilt Dad ... May you always be inspired to sew. From one working momma to another." Kiely was touched!
Let's see ... what else was in there?
A ridiculously cute little robot, immediately claimed by my son ...
... some more goodies quickly snatched up by the kids ...
... two fat quarters folded origami-style and a beautiful flower pin made out of fabric ...
... flower elastics for my twin girls and other assorted gifts. Were we spoiled, or what??
And, oh yeah, there was a quilt in there, too! Wanna see it?
Sonja reimagined my funny-faced photo as a Japanese-style brush painting! Isn't this amazing?? I was truly blown away.
Sonja included tigers in the quilt's border, since I was born in the year of the tiger. And, she trimmed the photo with some three-dimensional piping.
The quilt is backed in a wonderfully intricate Asian print.
And here's the quilt's label. You'll notice that Sonja translates the Kanji characters on the front of the quilt ("John", "The King of Kindness", and "Artist Sonja"). How incredible is that? It's so thoughtful and so personal, and I am truly grateful.

Fermilab has compelling evidence for a possible new particle
Discovery News Share
Back in April, rumors were flying around the particle physics community about a tiny "bump" spotted in the data from Fermilab's CDF collaboration that seemed to indicate the presence of new particle, possibly even the elusive Higgs boson. The rumored signal was sufficiently weak that most expected it wouldn't hold up under subsequent analysis. But at a recent physics conference in France, CDF member Giovanni Punzi showed the results after more data had been added to the mix, and the signal had strengthened instead of disappearing. More
Gravitational theory reproduces superconducting circuitry
American Physical Society Share
For over a decade, theorists have been exploring a surprising mathematical relationship between the equations that describe two seemingly different situations — one involving curved space time, the other involving systems of many interacting particles. In a paper in the June edition of Physical Review Letters, a team uses this connection to mathematically reproduce the operation of a standard superconducting device known as a Josephson junction starting with equations for curved space time.

"Prometheus" Aims for the Stars but Doesn't Complete the Mission
Thursday, June 14, 2012 Leave a comment
Say what you want about Ridley Scott, but you have to admit one thing: the man is great at making movies. The genre-bending films he creates have captured our imaginations, scared the piss out of us, and made us hate Julius Caesar. His latest sci-fi/horror epic "Prometheus" does all but one of these things (guess which one it is), while telling a great story and displaying some dazzling special effects–but it didn't live up to its hype.

9/11 was a Hollywood-style special effects production - a gargantuan advertisement for genocide, designed to launch a 100-years-war on Islam on behalf of Zionism.
Since then, the incitement-to-genocide ads haven't let up. The latest examples include the "Innocence of Muslims" film provocation, and the New York City subway ads calling Muslims "savages" and cheering for the Zionist genocide of the Palestinians.
A brave New York journalist named Mona Eltahawy was recently arrested for "defacing" the pro-genocide ads.
Everyone associated with putting up these ads needs to be arrested, tried, and executed for incitement to genocide, right alongside the 9/11 perps and the complicit media bosses. And Mona Eltahawi should be freed and given an award for her resistance to crimes against humanity.

"The 9/11 Mystery" by Iftekhar Khan
|Iftekhar Khan, columnist, "The News" (Pakistan)
Fleeting moments
Originally published by The News
As the 11th anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Centre nears, are we any closer to unravelling the mystery as to who carried them out? Conspiracy theories abound, no widely convincing outcome of the attacks has so far emerged. The report of the official inquiry commission published by the US government has been wanting in many aspects. It is more verbiage, regarding high-sounding government organisations and how they reacted after the crisis, than a persuasive document.
Although many books have been written on 9/11, five of them stand out because of their lucidity and rationale: Thierry Meyssan's 9/11 – the Big Lie, David Ray Griffin's Debunking 9/11 Debunking, Webster Griffin Tarpley's 9/11: Synthetic Terror Made in USA, and Barry Zwicker's Towers of Deception: The media cover-up of 9/11. The event of the magnitude of 9/11 that changed the way of life of the multitude round the world hasn't been investigated to public satisfaction, nor its perpetrators pointed out conclusively.
If the authors of these books unequivocally agree on a single point, it is that demolition material was used to bring the Twin Towers down within their own perimeters in a symmetrical manner. Instead of analysing the steel bars found in the debris for the telltale residual marks if detonating material had been used or not, the bars were carted away overseas for melting.
However, the Taliban regime in Afghanistan was quickly blamed for the devastating attacks and the US demanded to hand over Osama bin Laden, who it thought was the ideologue of the regime and mastermind of the 9/11 attacks. When the Taliban insisted that the US provide evidence of Bin Laden's involvement in the attacks, the superpower considered it an affront by the cave-dwellers and invaded their rugged land.
The above brings us to Osama bin Laden, ostensibly killed by the US Navy Seals in Abbottabad in May 2011. The mythical crusader blamed for masterminding attacks on the most guarded places in the world fell prey to the Seals' bullets and went down without a whimper. Craving for quick publicity and a quicker buck, former Navy Seal Matt Bissonette has authored a book, No Easy Day, in which he has presented his firsthand account of the raid on bin Laden's hideout in Abbottabad.
The point to argue is why the Seals killed Bin Laden, the highest-value target, instead of capturing him alive. The victim didn't know he had been located, nor did he know any operation to eliminate him was afoot. Hence, the time factor, which is of great essence in such operations, was in favour of the Seals. Laden alive would have been a billion-dollar man since billions had been poured into Afghanistan to locate and punish him. He could have been interrogated at Guantanamo or Bagram, a confession of his culpability extracted from him and produced in US courts to decide his fate.
Nevertheless, if the decision to kill Bin Laden had been made, his remains could have been flown to the US for morticians to restore his face and body, and to embalm them. Thus, a mummified Bin Laden could have been placed in the national museum for people to know that billions of their tax money spent on waging wars hadn't gone waste. Instead, according to Bissonette who carried a measly $200 to bribe his way through if the mission failed but wore night-vision goggles worth $65,000, contented himself only with photographing Bin Laden with a digital camera.
The "photographs are now under lock and key in the White House," claimed the writer. Only the American voters may ask President Obama to show pictures of Bin Laden's killing as proof before they vote for him in the next election.

Crown Prince Nayef martyred for 9/11 truth?
|The late Crown Prince Nayef, an early 9/11 truth supporter
"After the 9/11 hijackings, Prince Nayef infamously peddled the theory that the attacks were a Jewish plot...'The Saudis are being framed, accused of things that they did not do,' he said at a news conference at the time."
Al-Jazeera reports: "In November 2002, Nayef told the Arabic-language Kuwaiti daily Assyasah that Jews were behind the 9/11 attacks because they have benefited from subsequent criticism of Islam and Arabs."
Indeed, the primary beneficiary of the genocidal wave of islamophobia unleashed by 9/11 is the "Jewish state."
For some unknown reason, people who support the genocidal Big Lie that 9/11 was done by Muslims are rarely rebuked for their bigotry; while those like Alan Sabrosky and Prince Nayef who cite the undeniable and overwhelming evidence that 9/11 was perpetrated by and for supporters of the self-proclaimed "Jewish state," are smeared by the Zionist-dominated media.
As Alan Sabrosky, former Director of Strategic Studies at the US Army War College, told Press TV: "I have had long conversations over the past two weeks with contacts at the Army War College, at the Marine Corps Headquarters, and I have made it absolutely clear in both cases that it is 100 percent certain that 9/11 was a Mossad operation. Period. If Americans ever know that Israel did this, they are going to scrub them off the earth."
May Allah have mercy on Crown Prince Nayef, and forgive him his sins, considering his brave appeals for 9/11 truth.

Talking To The Invisible Chair of 9/11 Truth
Saman Mohammadi is one of the most eloquent Muslim voices of 9/11 truth. Here is the latest from his "Truth Excavator" blog.
Talking To The Invisible Chair of 9/11 Truth
Invisible 9/11 Truth Chair [ITC]: Oh, I'm real alright. But to answer your question in more depth, it depends on who you ask in the audience. Some doubt my existence and call you crazy for pointing me out in the room. And there are some others such as enlightened sufis who consider me an empty truth on an invisible chair. They pay me no mind. They know I exist, but I mean nothing to them because they view me as an inferior form of truth. So they treat me as invisible because they have their eye on a higher truth.
Is this house of reality not good enough for you? Does it stink with lies? But what house doesn't stink with lies on this plane of existence? And is not the sweet smell of lies better than the rotten smell of death? Why replace the sweet smell with the rotten smell? You are just a chair. You can stand the smell of death. But what about those who sit on you? They were lying on the floor of legends and lies with content and calm before they awoke and saw you in the corner of the room. You expect them to stop lying down with bliss in their hearts and sit up straight on a cold, wooden chair, frozen with terror?
Excavator: One final question. What did you think about Clint Eastwood's fictional encounter with an invisible Obama represented by an empty chair at the RNC?
Talking To The Invisible Chair of 9/11 Truth
"I would just like to say something, ladies and gentlemen. Something that I think is very important. It is that, you, we -- we own this country. We -- we own it. It is not you owning it, and not politicians owning it. Politicians are employees of ours. And -- so -- they are just going to come around and beg for votes every few years. It is the same old deal. But I just think it is important that you realize that you're the best in the world. Whether you are a Democrat or Republican or whether you're libertarian or whatever, you are the best. And we should not ever forget that. And when somebody does not do the job, we got to let them go. Okay, just remember that. And I'm speaking out for everybody out there." - Clint Eastwood, from his speech at the 2012 Republican National Convention.The reaction to Clint Eastwood's speech at the RNC has been mainly negative. But I have a different and more positive view of the speech.
In an era of prepared and polished speeches given by emotionally pulverized politicians it is refreshing to see a man on the biggest national stage in America speak from his heart. It is a rare sight. We never get to hear honest speeches in the house of illusions that is Western politics.
There is nothing like an honest speech from the heart, regardless of how it is delivered. People say Eastwood's rugged speech was hard to watch. Really? Why is it hard to watch a patriot give a real speech from the heart? It's much more painful to watch fake men like Obama and Romney give fake but polished speeches about absolute bullshit. Obama gives nothing but empty platitudes so an empty chair suits him perfectly. Emptiness is the essence of his heart and soul.
Eastwood reminded all Americans, no matter their party loyalties, that politicians are employees who are there to perform a public service, and who must be questioned, not worshiped. He also introduced an important concept into the collective psyche: Invisible Obama.
On the biggest questions, issues, and controversies of the day, President Obama and the entire Western political class has been invisible. They are invisible on the issue of 9/11 truth; Indefinite detention of political dissidents; Transnational banking fraud, and so many other political scandals. They might as well not be there. They are not leaders of a grand civilization but political pimps of a dying one.
In his speech, Eastwood addressed an invisible President Obama on an empty chair. It worked well with the audience, but not with the viewers at home. It was a gutsy move, though. And if you think it is hard to carry on a make-believe conversation with an invisible Obama, it's much harder to talk to the real Obama in person. From what I've read, Obama is not "mentally there." He is not open, and that is not a good leadership quality, especially when your country is in a crisis.
In this article, I've taken Eastwood's approach of speaking to an invisible man on an empty chair and applied it to 9/11 truth. Imagine if "9/11 truth" was an invisible chair of truth in a room full of invisible lies, legends, fantasy, and falsehoods. What follows is my dialogue with this invisible chair.
II. Lifting The Cloak of Invisibility: Talking To The Invisible Chair of 9/11 Truth
Excavator: Invisible 9/11 truth, who sits on your golden throne? How can an individual who is on the stage of life and the journey of self-discovery carry on a conversation with you? And why are you rejected by the spellbound audience as unreal and invisible? Are they right? Am I speaking to a non-entity? Are the rumours of your existence just crazy rumours or are you real?
Excavator: A higher truth? Interesting. So you are a lesser truth compared to other invisible, greater truths? If so, then what is your relationship to them? Do your foot stools open or block the gateway of the visible world to a richer reality? And do your foot stools open the door of death in the mind? If so, why? Why not move away from the entrance and let the door close shut in our house of reality? Even if it is a constructed reality, why ruin the intellectual infrastructure of a perfectly good house? Why let in the wind of death into the quiet rooms of the sleeping guests?
Is this house of reality not good enough for you? Does it stink with lies? But what house doesn't stink with lies on this plane of existence? And is not the sweet smell of lies better than the rotten smell of death? Why replace the sweet smell with the rotten smell? You are just a chair. You can stand the smell of death. But what about those who sit on you? They were lying on the floor of legends and lies with content and calm before they awoke and saw you in the corner of the room. You expect them to stop lying down with bliss in their hearts and sit up straight on a cold, wooden chair, frozen with terror?
ITC: I cannot speak for the souls who choose to sit on me over another chair, whether invisible or not, and whether in this or that house. They are free to come and go as they please. As for the charge that my poor little foot stools jam the doorway to the outside world and bring in the wind and smell of death into the house, all I can say is what kind of house do you want to live in? A house that is filled with illusions and stops the terror of death at the door? If a house of illusions, shadows, and moral corruption is good enough for you then be my guest.
Or do you want to live in a house that takes as its foundations all the facts of existence and life? Which house is the healthier house? The wind of death will enter your little house any way because there is no escaping this wind. You can either welcome this wind as a guest or it will knock down the foundations of your false house with the velocity that only the force of nature is capable of.
Or do you want to live in a house that takes as its foundations all the facts of existence and life? Which house is the healthier house? The wind of death will enter your little house any way because there is no escaping this wind. You can either welcome this wind as a guest or it will knock down the foundations of your false house with the velocity that only the force of nature is capable of.
Excavator: Enough talk of death. Let's change the subject. What if newly awakened souls realize that you are only a small chair of truth with only a smattering of gold covering? What if they look into the distance and see there is a bigger chair in the house down the street? Which chair should the soul sit on? What do you advise a soul to do in this situation?
Should those who walk on the path of self-discovery in the night sit on you at the end of their painful journey at the break of dawn? Or are you too cold and hard for their tired legs, souls, and arms? Why shouldn't they sit on a chair that is soft and has rainbow coloring? If it gives them joy and relief, then why not sit on the chair where the sun's radiant light shines upon it rather than a chair that stands in the bitter shade?
ITC: Every soul has its own preference. I am not an envious chair. I do not ask to be sat on. I represent life to one soul and death to another. Some souls choose the shadow of death in place of the sun of life for their own reasons. Some see no sun in this life but only the shadow of death. Of course, it is easy to mistake the two. For instance, in a room coloured by falsehoods and deceptions one loses sight of what's real; of what's the light and what's the shadow. But I cannot decide for the soul. It depends on its own sense of perception, intelligence, judgment, and other factors. Some souls do not like the air and quality of real chairs so they mark them as invisible, as they did with me at first.
Excavator: What do you make of the charge that you are a conspiracy chair?
ITC: That is a funny charge against me. Before I was the invisible chair. I was not to be even considered. I was not in the room. I was non-existent. But the force of reality imposed itself, forcing the half-awake audience and its spiritual managers to at least recognize that I exist.
It is a funny charge because I can't be both an invisible chair and a conspiracy chair. I am a visible chair of truth. Since my accusers have conceded on the point of my existence, they must take me seriously. But they don't. I'm pushed to the side of the room. They say only the fringe lunatics gather around me. But is truth fringe? Is justice fringe? Is God fringe? Is the global movement for world peace and universal brotherhood fringe? How can I be fringe when souls the world over discover me and stand by me? I am the furthest thing from a conspiracy chair and a fringe chair.
Excavator: Okay. You're not a conspiracy chair. That has been established. I want to move on. Where do you stand in the hierarchy of the invisible world of chairs? Are you the only invisible chair of truth? And what about the visible world? Is the visible electric chair on death row your cousin? Is the visible chair of torture your cellmate in the invisible prison?
ITC: I am sorry but I cannot assist you in the journey to the invisible world of chairs or show you the way. I have said too much already. I cannot answer your questions. They are for you to discover at your own pace. It takes regular spiritual exercises to reach the level of understanding that you seem to be aiming for.
Excavator: Fair enough. I'll ask you more specific questions. Many of the people who sit on you are described as "truthers." What do you think of them? And who else sits on you? Do you expect a president of the US empire to sit on you? Is not his ass of lies too big for you? He will break you down to pieces, will he not? And what about God? Is he the pilot and are you the chair in the cockpit?
ITC: God is too big for me. And he is not a sitter. As for the "truthers," they know I exist because they can see and feel me. They cannot be persuaded that I am invisible and unreal by the managers of public thoughts and perceptions. They are not crazy because I am not the chair for the mentally handicapped.
Excavator: One final question. What did you think about Clint Eastwood's fictional encounter with an invisible Obama represented by an empty chair at the RNC?
ITC: It was a neat dramatic invention by a master director through which Obama's empty soul was revealed to the American people on a big stage.
Excavator: Okay. Thank you for your time.

Being experts on the subject of hot tub maintenance, I was surprised to see this outbreak come from one the most infamous hot tubs that exist in LA.
It would be real easy to make a moral correlation here but I'll refrain from the obvious……
Article below.
Health officials have confirmed that the bacteria that causes Legionnaires' disease was found in a whirlpool spa at the Playboy Mansion where more than 100 people fell ill in February.
The Los Angeles County Health Department presented its findings on Friday at an annual conference at the Centres for Disease Control in Atlanta. The legionella bacteria also causes a milder illness called Pontiac fever.
Symptoms, which include fever and headache, are the same as those suffered by the Playboy Mansion partygoers. The people who fell ill were at the mansion to mark the end of the three-day DOMAINFest Global Conference on internet business. The conference took place at the Fairmont Hotel in Santa Monica.
On the second night, there was a party at the Sky Bar on Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood. The finale on the third night was at Playboy founder Hugh Hefner's famous mansion. Within 48 hours after leaving it, scores of people reported coming down with symptoms including fever, respiratory problems and violent headaches. About 700 people from 30 countries attended the conference.
DOMAINFest asked people who were at the event to fill out a confidential survey to help in the health department investigation. Officials ended up speaking to 439 people and found that up to 200 of them had a fever and at least one other symptom. Sixty-nine people reported falling ill on the same day.
The bacteria are not spread from person to person, they are inhaled in water vapor from hot tubs, showers and even air conditioning systems. Some of those who became ill originally suspected a fog machine that was used at the party in February.
A Playboy spokesman said at the time: 'There is no truth in the rumor that anyone caught anything at the Playboy Mansion, nor is there any evidence. 'None of the Playboy staff became ill, the deejay was in the middle of the fog and she didn't get ill. 'We have been contacted by the Health Department and the Playboy Mansion is cooperating fully with the investigation.'
One partygoer, Elliot J. Silver, said: 'It is scary that everyone came down with the same thing at the same time. 'It knocked me on my ass. A lot of people are blaming the Playboy Mansion on the blogs, but you can't be sure.'
– Legionnaires disease is one of many bacterias that can cause sickness, from improperly sanitized and filtered hot tubs.

The hormonal changes of menopause can produce a wide variety of symptoms, ranging from hot flashes and vaginal dryness to anxiety, depression, and insomnia. Many of these symptoms are undoubtedly caused by the natural decrease in estrogen production that occurs at menopause; however, the human body is so complex that other hormonal factors undoubtedly also play a role.
Menopause is not a disease. It is clearly a natural process, but one that many women prefer not to experience. No longer do women accept as merely part of life the decrease in libido, pain during intercourse, years of hot flashes, and other uncomfortable problems that may accompany menopause. This raises an important point: How close to nature do we want to live? One of the most valued ideals of alternative medicine is the desire to trust nature, but sometimes we may want to draw a line. For example, in a state of nature, infant and maternal mortality is high. This process of survival of the fittest helps humanity as a species to be stronger, but it is not something that a compassionate society can tolerate. Thus, no matter what our ideals, we frequently find ourselves tampering with nature. The treatment of menopause is simply one example among many.
Estrogen-replacement therapy can alleviate many of the problems associated with menopause. However, it creates counterbalancing risks. The most frightening issue is the increased risk of breast cancer that appears to be associated with replacement estrogen. In addition, estrogen therapy can cause blood clots in the legs, and it appears to raise the risk of heart disease rather than prevent it (as previously thought). The decision whether to use estrogen-replacement therapy for menopausal symptoms should involve a careful examination of the risks and benefits in consultation with a physician.
Principal Proposed Natural Treatments
Several natural treatments may reduce menopausal symptoms, as compared to placebo. (The latter comparison is essential, as placebo itself is dramatically effective for menopause, generally reducing the rate of hot flashes by 50%!) 28
We do not know for sure whether any of these reduce the risk of osteoporosis. See the full article on Osteoporosis for more detailed information on natural ways to prevent bone loss.
Soy and Soy (or Other Source) Isoflavones
Both soy and red clover contain phytoestrogens (naturally occurring substances with estrogen-like actions) called isoflavones. It is thought that the isoflavones in these herbs may offer some benefits of estrogen with less risk. However, the current evidence base for this hypothesis is conflicting.
Improvements in hot flashes as well as other symptoms, such as vaginal dryness and mood, have been seen in many studies of soy, mixed soy isoflavones, aglycone isoflavones, and the isoflavone genistein alone. 23-24,69-72,91-93,146,153,163 However, about as many studies have failed to find significant benefit as compared to placebo with soy or concentrated isoflavones. 5,43,44,67,73,79,80,94,107,108,113,133-134,153,179 A review of 13 randomized trials with 1,996 women showed a reduced frequency of hot flashes with soy isoflavones compared to placebo, with more than 12 weeks of treatment showing the greatest effect. Hot flash severity improved in 9 randomized trials involving 988 women with soy isoflavones compared to placebo. 173
For example, a double-blind study of 247 women suffering from menopausal hot flashes compared the effects of placebo and genistein over a period of one year. 133 Genistein was taken at a dose of 54 mg per day. The results indicated that use of genistein significantly reduced hot flashes as compared to placebo.
In addition, isoflavones from red clover have shown inconsistent results in studies, with the best and largest study finding no benefit. 68,95,109,110, 114
What can one make of this mixed evidence? One problem here is that placebo treatment has a strong effect on menopausal symptoms. In such circumstances, statistical noise can easily drown out the real benefits of a treatment under study. Unlike estrogen, which has such a powerful effect on hot flashes and other menopausal symptoms that its benefits are almost always clear in studies, soy or concentrated isoflavones likely have a more modest effect, one that does not always show itself above the background noise of statistical variation. It has also been suggested that the placebo used in many of these studies, polyunsaturated fatty acids, may have efficacy of its own; this would tend to hide actual benefits. 115
Another explanation may be that certain women benefit from soy isoflavones more than others. In about one-third of people, isoflavones are converted by intestinal bacteria into a substance called equol. At least two studies suggest that these equol producers may experience greater reduction in their menopausal symptoms than non-equol producers. 155,156
Evidence regarding whether soy or soy isoflavones are helpful for osteoporosis remains conflicting. 7-15,73-75,96-102,159 On balance, it is probably fair to summarize current evidence as indicating that isoflavones (either as soy, genistein, mixed isoflavones, or tofu extract) have a modestly beneficial effect on bone density.
Interestingly, one small but long-term study suggests that progesterone cream (another treatment proposed for use in preventing or treating osteoporosis) may decrease the bone-sparing effect of soy isoflavones. 96
Soy isoflavones (60 mg-160 mg daily for 6 weeks to 30 months) were associated with significantly improved cognitive function and visual memory in a review of 10 randomized trials with 1,024 postmenopausal women. The isoflavones were compared to placebo in all trials. However several factors, such as age at the start of treatment, location of treatment, and treatment duration may affect the overall success of the supplement. 177
For more information, including dosage and safety issues, see the full Isoflavone article.
Black Cohosh
The herb black cohosh is widely used for treatment of menopause, but the evidence that it works remains incomplete and inconsistent. 160,161
The best study was a 12-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 304 women with menopausal symptoms. 111 This study appeared to find that black cohosh was more effective than placebo. The best evidence was for a reduction in hot flashes. However, the statistical procedures used in the study were somewhat unusual and open to question.
Promising results were also seen in a 3-month, double-blind study of 120 menopausal women. 141 Participants were given either black cohosh or fluoxetine (Prozac). Over the course of the trial, black cohosh proved more effective than fluoxetine for hot flashes, but fluoxetine was more effective than black cohosh for menopause-related mood changes.
Previous smaller studies have found improvements not only in hot flashes but also in other symptoms of menopause. For example, in a double-blind, placebo-controlled study, 97 menopausal women received black cohosh, estrogen, or placebo for 3 months. 81 The results indicated that the herb reduced overall menopausal symptoms (including hot flashes) to the same extent as the drug. In addition, microscopic analysis showed that black cohosh had an estrogen-like effect on the cells of the vagina. This is a positive result because it suggests that black cohosh might reduce vaginal thinning. However, black cohosh did not affect the cells of the uterus in an estrogen-like manner; this too is a positive result, as estrogen's effects on the uterus are potentially harmful. Finally, the study found hints that black cohosh might help protect bone. However, a great many of the study participants dropped out, making the results less than reliable.
One study, too small to have reliable results from a statistical point of view, found black cohosh equally effective as 0.6 mg daily of conjugated estrogens. 125
A study reported in 2006 found that black cohosh has weak estrogen-like effects on vaginal cells and possible positive effects on bone (specifically, stimulating new bone formation). 116
A substantial (244-participant) double-blind study published in 2007 compared black cohosh against the synthetic hormone tibolone and found them equally effective for treating menopausal symptoms. 142 Though not approved as a drug in the US, tibolone does appear to be effective for menopausal symptoms, and therefore these results are somewhat promising. 143 However, this study lacked a placebo group, and since the placebo effect is powerful for this condition, this omission significantly reduces the meaningfulness of the results.
One interesting double-blind study evaluated a combination therapy containing black cohosh and St. John's wort in 301 women with general menopausal symptoms as well as depression . 117 The results showed that use of the combination treatment was significantly more effective than placebo for both problems. A smaller study using a combination of the same two herbs found improvements in overall menopausal symptoms as well as cholesterol profile. 138
In contrast, there have been several studies that failed to find benefit. For example, in a 12-month double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 350 women, participants were given either black cohosh, a supplement containing 10 herbs, the multibotanical plus soy, standard hormone replacement therapy, or placebo. 118,154 The results showed significant benefits as compared to placebo for hormone replacement therapy, but only slight, nonsignificant benefits with the other treatments. In addition, a double-blind study of 122 women failed to find statistically significant benefits with black cohosh as compared to placebo, 119 as did another study enrolling 132 women, 123 as well as one double-blind, placebo-controlled study that involved 124 women given a black cohosh/soy isoflavone combination. 120 These negative outcomes were quite possibly due to the relatively small sizes of the black cohosh groups. In a condition such as menopausal symptoms, where the placebo effect is strong and treatment is relatively weak, large numbers of participants are necessary to show benefit above and beyond the placebo effect. Nonetheless, this is an impressive number of negative studies, and some question must remain about the efficacy of this herb.
The bottom line: Black cohosh may be modestly effective for reducing hot flashes and other symptoms of menopause, but doubts remain.
Some interesting information has developed regarding how black cohosh might work. In the past, the herb was described as a phytoestrogen . However, subsequent evidence indicates that black cohosh is not a general phytoestrogen, but may act like estrogen in only a few parts of the body: the brain (reducing hot flashes), bone (potentially helping to prevent or treat osteoporosis), and possibly the vagina (alleviating dryness and thinning). It does not appear to act like estrogen in the breast or the uterus, which is good news, as estrogen is carcinogenic in those tissues. 20,21,30-32,81,83-87,103,121 If this theory is true, black cohosh is a selective-estrogen receptor modifier (SERM), somewhat like the drug raloxifen (Evista). However, more evidence is needed.
For more information, including dosage and safety issues, see the full Black Cohosh article.
Other Proposed Natural Treatments
Rhubarb contains the phytoestrogenic substance lindleyin. On this basis, extracts of rhubarb have been tried for control of menopausal symptoms. In a 12-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 109 women with menopause-related problems, use of a special rhubarb extract (ERr 731) significantly improved symptoms as compared to placebo. 124Note: Raw rhubarb is toxic when taken in excessive quantities. The special standardized extract used in these trials was processed so as to remove toxic components.
Grass pollen extracts have shown promise for treatment of benign prostate enlargement. Their benefits in that condition may result from a hormonal effect. On this basis, grass pollens have been proposed for treatment of menopausal symptoms. One double-blind, placebo-controlled study followed 54 women with menopausal symptoms and found benefits with a supplement containing grass pollen extract. 122
The herb Pueraria mirifica , which contains numerous phytoestrogens, has recently been promoted as an effective treatment for menopausal symptoms. In one double-blind study, the herb showed promise for improving vaginal dryness. 136 In another trial comparing Pueraria mirifica to standard estrogen treatment (0.625 mg conjugated equine estrogen), researchers found the herb to be equally effective at relieving a range of menopausal symptoms. 152
In addition, another double-blind study found benefit with a combination product containing standardized extracts of black cohosh , dong quai , milk thistle , red clover , American ginseng , and chasteberry . 137
For many years, the hormone progesterone (so-called "natural progesterone," as distinguished from the synthetic progestins used in birth control pills and hormone replacement therapy) was aggressively promoted by some alternative medicine practitioners as the true cure for osteoporosis. However, at that time there was no meaningful evidence that progesterone helps prevent osteoporosis—these claims were based largely on anecdotes, plausible reasoning, and "studies" that did not come close to modern scientific standards. When the subject was finally studied properly, the first results indicated that progesterone does not work for osteoporosis after all. However, it may work for other menopausal symptoms. A 1-year, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 102 women found that cream containing 20 mg of the hormone progesterone may be effective against hot flashes, 39 though it did not appear to protect bone from breakdown. However, another double-blind trial failed to find 32 mg daily effective for osteoporosis or any other menopause-related symptoms. 88 See the Progesterone article for more information.
The hormone dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) has been tested as a treatment for menopausal symptoms, with some promising results in a small, preliminary trial. 104 Because it is a naturally-occuring hormone, there has been some concern regarding the safety of supplemental DHEA. (See DHEA article for more information on its safety.) However, a placebo-controlled trial with 93 postmenopausal women found DHEA supplementation for 1 year was not associated with increased adverse endometrial effects or changes in blood lipids or insulin sensitivity. 165
One double-blind study found benefit with a mixture of isoflavones, lignans and black cohosh. 131
A small double-blind study conducted in Iran reported that vitamin E (400 IU daily) was more effective than placebo for treating menopausal hot flashes. 145 However, a larger US study failed to find vitamin E significantly helpful for hot flashes associated with breast cancer treatment. 42
An extract made from human placenta (HPE) is used in South Korea and other areas of East Asia as a treatment for numerous conditions. One study compared HPE against normal saline solution for treatment of menopause. 151 In this 8-week trial, participants were given either normal saline or HPE as a subcutaneous injection through the skin of the abdomen. The results appear to indicate that HPE might improve some symptoms of menopause. 151
Evidence conflicts on whether various forms of exercise may improve menopausal symptoms. 139,140
Evidence far too weak to be relied upon at all has been quoted in support of flaxseed , 147-149gamma oryzanol , 76multivitamin/multimineral combinations, 130 and St. John's wort . 41 Other proposed treatments that lack meaningful supporting evidence include bioflavonoids , 41chasteberry , licorice , 105suma , and vitamin C . In one trial, a combination of St. John's wort and chasteberry for 16 weeks failed to produce any significant benefit compared to placebo in 100 women suffering from hot flashes due to menopause. 162
Evidence regarding whether acupuncture might improve menopausal symptoms remains unconvincing. 89,106,126-128, 132,135,166,167,170,180 For example, one study that appears on the surface to be well-designed found no benefit at all in the placebo group. 135 This is so unusual as to cast significant doubt on the results. Another pilot study found no significant difference between the sham (fake) acupuncture and real acupuncture for hot flashes. 159 A small, placebo-controlled study among breast cancer patients with hot flashes due to their treatments did suggest some benefit for acupuncture, though the results were inconclusive. 164 Two studies involving 462 post-menopausal women each concluded that acupuncture, when added to usual self-care, effectively reduces the frequency of hot flashes for at least 2 months. This effect may only be short-term, however. In one of these studies, researches re-evaluating participants at 6 and 12 months found the acupuncture group was no better that the group who received only self-care. 166,167 Results were unpromising in a small single-blind randomized trial of 54 women. Acupuncture was compared to sham acupuncture for hot flashes in peri-menopausal and post-menopausal women. There was no difference between the groups in a combined measure of hot flash frequency and severity 8 weeks after treatment ended. 171
Acupuncture in combination with dietary principals used in the Traditional Chinese herbal medicine and self-massage was significantly better than diet and self-massage alone in a randomized trial with 100 menopausal women. The addition of acupuncture was associated with a decrease in the frequency of hot flushes, sudden sweating, sleep disorders, irritability, and headache. Acupuntcure was also associated with decreased intensity of memory loss, vaginal dryness, skin changes, urinary tract problems, and genital itching.178
A double-blind, placebo-controlled study of questionable validity reported benefits in "all menopausal symptoms" through the use of OPCs from pine bark. 143
It has been suggested that royal jelly is beneficial for menopausal symptoms, but there is no evidence to support this claim. The same is true regarding Traditional Chinese herbal medicine for menopause. One study has been widely reported as proving the effectiveness of a particular Chinese herbal formula, but because it lacked a placebo group, it actually does not do so. 90 Another study failed to find the Chinese herb Pueraria lobata helpful for menopausal symptoms. 144
Some evidence suggests that evening primrose oil , 77dong quai , 48 and ginseng78 are not effective for menopausal symptoms.
However, a single-blind randomized trial of 120 women found that a combination of evening primrose oil , damiana , ginseng , and royal jelly taken for 4 weeks significantly reduced menopausal symptoms compared to placebo. 172
The herb alfalfa contains strong phytoestrogens. 45-47 This might make it helpful for menopause, but no studies have been reported.
One double-blind, placebo-controlled study failed to find melatonin more helpful than placebo for menopausal symptoms. (Actually, placebo did a little better than melatonin.) Another study failed to find that ginkgo improved mood, general energy level, or mental function in menopausal women. 112
Heavy exercise causes increased calcium loss through sweat, and the the body does not compensate for this by reducing calcium loss in the urine. 150 The result can be a net calcium loss great enough so that it presents health concerns for menopausal women. One study found that use of an inexpensive calcium supplement (calcium carbonate), taken at a dose of 400 mg twice daily, is sufficient to offset this loss. 150
In a randomized, controlled trial, 8 weeks of daily supervised yoga was modestly more effective than a similar amount of supervised physical exercise in relieving menopausal symptoms (eg, hot flashes), decreasing psychological stress, and improving cognitive abilities among 120 women. 157,158 Another study failed to find exercise helpful for reducing menopausal symptoms. 129
Aerobic exercise however, may be beneficial for sedentary women. In a randomized trial of 176 women who had their last menstrual period within 3-36 months, aerobic exercise was associated with a decrease in menopausal symptoms, including night sweats, irritability, depression, mood swings, headache, and urinary problems. The trial compared unsupervised aerobic exercise for 50 minutes, 4 times per week to twice monthly health lectures. 175
Relaxation therapies were not effective in reducing the frequency or severity hot flashes in peri- and postmenopausal women. Four randomized trials with 281 women compared relaxation therapies to acupuncture, superficial needle insertion, paced respiration, placebo, or no treatment. 176
There is inconsistent evidence to support the use of wild yam to reduce menopausal symptoms. For example, in a double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 23 women with symptoms of menopause, use of wild yam did not reduce hot flashes nor raise levels of progesterone or estrogen in the body. 168 However, a study involving 50 menopausal women found that the yam species Diascorea alata (12 mg sachet twice daily for 12 months) was more effective at relieving menopausal symptoms than placebo. 169
A randomized trial of 64 pre-, peri-, and postmenopausal women showed improvement of menopausal symptoms with a combination of Cynanchum wilfordii , Phlomis umbrosa and Angelica gigas compared to placebo. 174
In a randomized trial of 88 women with moderate to severe postmenopausal symptoms, fenugreek seed husk extract was associated with a reduction in hot flashes when compared to placebo. Fenugreek also improved physical and mental fatigue, and overall well-being.181
Estriol: A Safer Form of Estrogen?
For over a decade, some alternative medicine practitioners have popularized the use of a special form of estrogen called estriol , claiming that, unlike standard estrogen, it does not increase the risk of cancer. However, this claim is unfounded.
There is no real doubt that estriol is effective. Controlled and double-blind trials have found oral or vaginal estriol effective for reducing hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia , vaginal dryness, recurrent urinary tract infections , and osteoporosis . 49-57
Estriol might cause less vaginal bleeding as a side effect than other forms of estrogen, but this has not been proven. 58,59
However, like other forms of estrogen, oral estriol stimulates the growth of uterine tissue. This leads to a risk of uterine cancer.
In a placebo-controlled study of 1,110 women, uterine tissue stimulation was seen among women given estriol orally (1 mg to 2 mg daily) as compared to those given placebo. 60 Another large study found that oral estriol increased the risk of uterine cancer. 61 In another study of 48 women given estriol 1 mg twice daily, uterine tissue stimulation was seen in the majority of cases. 62
In contrast, a 12-month, double-blind trial of oral estriol (2 mg daily) in 68 Japanese women found no effect on the uterus. 63 It may be that the high levels of soy in the Japanese diet altered the results.
Additionally, test tube studies suggest that estriol is just as likely to cause breast cancer as any other form of estrogen. 64
The bottom line: If you are considering using estriol, think of it as equivalent to any other form of estrogen.

Product Description
Edible oil refining 1-100TPD palm kernel cracking plant includes a series processing procedures as degumming, neutralization, bleaching, deodorization and winterisation. In general there are two methods of vegetable/edible oil processing, one is physical refining and the other is chemical refining. However, no matter what kinds of reining methods Small Coconut Oil Mill Machinery, Shandong Leader Machinery Co.,ltd. are all done with the help of various oil processing equipment and machinery, and are used to refine almost all kinds of oil extracted from oil seeds like sunflower seeds, peanuts , sesame seeds, and soya bean seeds etc.
Main Steps of Edible Oil Refining: Small Coconut Oil Mill Machinery Crude Oil Degumming: In this step gums in crude oil are removed by hydration with the help of phosphoric acid.Neutralization: In this step free fatty acids are neutralized by using sodium hydroxide and convert them into soap. Additional impurities are also removed by adsorption on soap.Bleaching: During bleaching, unwanted pigments are adsorbed physically and oil will become much clearer.Deodorization: Deodorization is used to remove unacceptable odors by steam distillation, the odoriferous compound are stripped off with the help of live injected steam into heated oil under high vacuum pressure.Dewaxing (necessary for cold areas)Some kinds of oil like sunflower, maize germ or corn oil have waxes inside, if these Shandong Leader Machinery Co.,ltd. impurities are not removed, the oil will freeze easily under low temperature, thus effecting oil quality and appearance. so this process is necessary in extremely cold areas.

It is used to receipt the palm fruit bunch, and then transport the bunch to the sterilizing tank.The reception adopts hydraulic control system,realizing the automatic operation,which reduces the labor needed a lot.
Sterilization station for palm kernel cracking machinery
The sterilizer works with direct steam, the steam can weaken the activity of the enzyme, prevent it getting rancid, ensure the good quality of the crude oil. At the same time, it is good for the following treshing processing. We have designed both horizontal and vertical sterilizer, for larger and smaller line.
Treshing station for palm kernel cracking machinery
The rotating of the drum in the tresher can separate the fruit from the bunch. The fruit will be conveyed to the digester through elevator, and the empty bunch will be conveyed to the outside part through scraper conveyor. The spindle adopts once forging technology, which can make the equipment more solider and durable. At the same time, we have already designed the non spindle tresher, which is driven by the link chain. It can save the producing cost in a large scale.
Pressing station for palm kernel cracking machinery
The digester is used to adjust the moisture and temperature of the fruit,finally it can increase the oil extraction rate. The digester adopts liquid level control system, which can distribute the material all by itself. To realize the automatic working. The presser adopts hydraulic control system to adjust the distance of different pressing worms, it is applicable to different kinds of palm fruits, and it can ensure the high oil extraction rate.
Clarification station for palm kernel cracking machinery
Using the latest technology, under the condition of ensuring the good quality of the oil, reduce the equipment cost as much as possible, reduce the loss of the oil, in the practical producing ,the new technology can make the loss of oil less than 1.3%.

The purpose of Neutralizing Vegetable Oils Small Coconut Oil Mill Machinery is to remove Free-Fatty Acids (FFAs). Traditionally, FFAs are treated with caustic soda (NaOH). The reaction produces Soaps which are separated from the oil. Because 1-100TPD palm kernel cracking plant trace amounts of soaps remain in the oil, the oil is either washed with water or treated with Silica.Shandong Leader Machinery Co.,ltd. Some processors prefer not to perform caustic neutralizing. Instead, they prefer Physical Refining in which the FFAs are evaporated from the oil under high temperature and vacuum. This 1-100TPD palm kernel cracking plant process can be combined with deodorization step described under FFA stripping.Physical Refining process 1-100TPD palm kernel cracking plant is preferred because (a) it does not produce soaps; (b) it recovers fatty acids that provide better cost recovery; (c) there is smaller yield loss compared to caustic refining—especially for oils with higher FFAs; and (d) it is a chemical-free process.

Posters are big and cumbersome, and hanging them up yourself is tricky. You have to unroll it, stick a tack in one of the upper corners. Then you have go try to stick a tack in the other top corner, maybe two meters away, which is often longer than armspan for something above shoulder height.
Now step back and check that the top and bottom edges are horizontal.
Do not trust your instincts about the level line from when you stuck in that second tack. The upper corners of your posters are almost always above your eyeline, making it difficult to judge whether the poster is level or not.
If you think this goes without saying, I beg to differ. At Neuroscience recently, I was astonished at how many posters looked like they were taking on water on one side. These were not subtle little "one corner is higher" problems. I saw several that I guess were about five degrees off true.
The easiest way is to have a friend or colleague or helpful conference goer who is willing to step back and do the old, "Up a little bit... down a little... a little more... perfect!"
If there's nobody else around, you can mount one edge of your poster flush with the posterboard. This has the downside that if can look a bit odd if your poster is much smaller than the posterboard, though.
Finally, since we are living in the future, there is, as they say, an app for that.

Report: Eastern Washington Adventures Search for Deep Snow - Jan 2012
Cowiche: The Search for Deep Snow
Report by Clay Graham / Eastern Washington Adventures
Ahtanum State Forest Photo by Clay Graham / Eastern Washington Adventures
Around 10 AM Saturday January 7th, 2012 Eastern Washington Adventures members met up at the Cowiche Mill Road entrance of the Ahtanum State Forest for a 4x4 run to find deep snow. I rode with TJ40 in his TJ. On this run the roads were iced over and there was not much snow until we got way up high.
First we ran Cowiche Mill Road and turned up the first Green Dot Road to the right. A truck had slid off the road the day before and the guys were waiting for their friend to come up and pull the truck out with a Jeep. TJ40 said he would winch the truck back on the road since we had more rigs to help if need be. TJ40's Mile Marker winch rated for 8,000 Lbs did a great job pulling the truck up. Once the truck was back on the road, we move on up the ridge toward Hatton Road.
Up on Hatton Road we drove toward Jumpoff Lookout. It started off with driving on thick ice with a little bit of snow. The snow drifts got deeper in some areas as we came onto C3000. Up near the Forest Service boundary the snow got deep enough the rigs were having a little trouble pushing through. We had to cut three trees out of the road to keep going. As we came around to the North Slope it was blocked by a big deep drift. We finally got enough deep snow to play in but no place to go. This is were we turned around and it became a stuck fest. Once we all turned around we headed back down.
Back on Cowiche Mill Road at C1000 some of the group headed home. The rest of us headed up C1000 and on up onto Cowiche Ridge. We ran Cowiche Ridge and then up onto the Strobach Mountain 4x4 Trail. Near the Hogback we found the Yakima Ridgerunners having a good time. We stopped and talked with them for awhile before heading back out for home.
This was a very fun day thanks for all who came and some that we met on the trail.

Wekepeke Brook Watershed Initiative Project
Rushing Rivers Institute (RRI) has studied the Wekepeke Brook's current ecological status and the potential impacts of a previously proposed spring water removal project by Nestlé Waters North America. The watershed is situated in the towns of Sterling, Leominster, and Lancaster MA. The project aims to utilize scientific and ecological methods to determine the current impacts to fish and macroinvertebrates in the system, while ultimately identifying mitigation options that would improve habitat conditions. These mitigations in effect could offset any damages caused by the originally proposed water withdrawals from the brook.
The 5.1 mile-long Wekepeke Brook is a typical headwater stream in central Massachusetts. In general, the stream is characterized by high amounts of ground water contributions and cold-water temperatures. A 2008 survey conducted by RRI revealed high fish densities but the species observations deviated from the expected community, which should be dominated by brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis). The same was true for invertebrate fauna, which also deviated from the expected community. Our study found that the Wekepeke Brook currently undergoes temperature loading and sediment starvation directly below its three reservoirs (Heywood, Lynde and Spring Basin) and has habitat deficits related to the remnant infrastructure within the watershed.
The RRI study determined the brook's ecological status quo including an analysis of the hydrologic and thermal regimes, water quality, investigations of fish and invertebrate status and through the development of a physical habitat model using the MesoHABSIM technique. RRI has then tested various scenarios that compare available fish habitat under different stream flows conditions to better understand the critical flows of the brook. Now that the study is complete, its findings can be drawn upon to restore and promote the most ecologically-sound management plan for the Wekepeke Brook.
