Re: [Vo]:Coal mining industry in steep decline
Hello Vincent, Good we agree that it is not a zero sum game. I am sure we agree tat because of all the inventions and better understanding of things and how the planet has shrunken, we can feed everybody, we have resources to handle a lot of illnesses and we realize that there is not possible to be happy when the neighborhood is unhappy. The last part is not so well said. I mean most of us want our friends to also be in the have. When the world shrink there is no longer a way to eliminate people because of nationality or similar subjective measurements.It is also very stupid to create a large population that are unhappy because they feel they are not a part of society. I liked your link. I am not so sure that the people in charge are evil. (I think he implies that). My experience is that it is much more like the Throne game you talk about (never played). Among colleagues in the financial top there is competition. Because of the nature of the business, the only measurement that is valid is dollars. It is not the dollar you take home - it is the dollars you have earned for your company, group, investors etc. If we did not learn anything from this financial downturn in 2008, we should at least see that we are not part of the game. That the normal ideas such that bankruptcy is a solution for poorly run businesses no longer is in play. No, it is a collaboration between government (that can negotiate anything) and the financial world. BTW the big money has its best periods when the government is strong. The bible is a collection of advice written over time. There is always comfort or conflict in any given situation somewhere. (I see that as positive BTW.) It is not where you will find the answer to specific situations just guidance.

[Vo]:Shell 105 Catalyst
A catalyst used to make polyethylene named Shell 105 could be important to LENR given the long string of successful experiments by Leif Holmlid where he makes extremely dense deuterium. The deuterium is so compact that he has claimed spontaneous fusion events with no power input. This info turned up on the MFMP site: With respect to the recent report by Ólafsson and Holmlid, Holmlid used Shell 105 catalyst (Fe2O3-K based with 8% K content) - and only that (!!) - as an ultra-dense Rydberg state Deuterium generator because it's convenient to use, cheap and apparently because it works out of the box without further treatment (as also confirmed by Sveinn Ólafsson on LENR-Forum). NOTE: According to Shell, the 105 catalyst contains 84.3% iron as Fe2O3, 2.4 % chromium as Cr2O3 and 13.3% potassium as K2CO3. Iron, Chromium, Oxygen and Potassium are all Mills catalysts (having ionization potentials which can be manipulated to express a multiple of 27.2 eV).
[Vo]:LENR thermal rocket
The nuclear rocket is such an attractive concept for space exploration that the space fairing nations of the world have repeatedly experimented with this concept for the last 50 years in an attempt to perfect this idea. Even with the great dangers and disadvantages in this approach involving radioactive contamination of vast swaths of their countries, its promise is overwhelming to the rocket engineers if not the population unser the fall of radioctive debris resulting from a launch failure. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_thermal_rocket Nuclear thermal rocket As a thermal rocket that heats liquid hydrogen to 1400C, a nuclear rocket’s specific impulse is equal to that of the space shuttle. The specific impulse is a measure that can be thought of as thrust divided by propellant mass per unit time. If the temperature of the hydrogen exhaust gas can be raised between 2000C and 3000C degrees, its spacific impulse would be great enough to lift 10 to 20 times the payload of the space shuttle into orbit using the same size vehicle. Truly, if a safe source of refectory level heat can be found to heat hydrogen gas to incandescence, or even just beyond 1000C, the door to the exploitation and commercialization of the solar system would be thrown wide opened to space based exploration and utilization. Now, with the advent of the Hot Cat, a way to heat hydrogen rocket exhaust gas could now provide a safe and effective way to lift massive amounts of payload into orbit at a greatly reduced cost. The LENR boost vehicle could do more for space exploration than the Space Elevator could ever do and it would be a lot less expensive. The design goal of such a LENR booster is to produce 4 gigawatts of heat for 170 seconds. How could this be done? Well let’s figure out a way to get many Hot cat alumina reactors to mealt down at a controlled and sustained rate. Let’s feed hot cat inches long reactor rods of alumina into a chamber of heat and EMF excitation to melt down like a steam engine burns coal. A bin full of Hot cat rods can be fed from a hopper into an Hot cat ignition chamber where other hot cats are in various stages of melt down mixed with liquid hydrogen. A Cat and mouse process would keep the Hot cat chamber at 3000C for the 20 seconds that it takes each Hot cat tube to disintegrate. The bottom of tthe Hot cat tube pile would be the hottest the the top of the pile just starting the burnup process. A screen of refactory material at the end of the ignition chamber would allow Hot cat fragments comprised of ruby dust and the vapor of nickel powder to be expelled out of the reaction nozzle along with the heated hydrogen. This should allow the Hot cat booster to achieve orbit in a single stage. But I am sure that once all you who want to explore and utilize space put your minds to this task, you all can come up with a far more elegant solution to LENR booster technology.

[Vo]:OT: Another example of hi-tech depravity, another phishing attempt
I just received the following phishing scheme. Never got one like this before. Kind of a new angle, and a bit creative too! I received a terse text message that sez: Why have you sued me? WTF is this? I am attaching the subpoena. I did not include the supoena.doc file, nor did I even care to open it to find out what horrible things I have committed. I decided to check out the supplied URL, however, that came with the email address: txbrs.com. If you enter http://intxbrs.com web hosting immediately reroutes the URL to: http://texasbuildingandroofingsuppliesinc.com/ The URL turns out to be what appears to be a legitimate business: Texas Building and Roofing Supplies, INC. I'm assuming the website may have been hacked. Maybe someone can clue me in here, but if I were to be so naive as to return a response to the supplied email address appears, wouldn't my response go to presumably an employee of Texas Building and Roofing Supplies. INC? IOW, it would seem to imply that someone working at that establishment is actually instigating this phishing scheme. Or, could it be the case that some savvy tech-nerd found a way to re-route the special email address to a more obscure location, particularly since the URL txbrs.com is immediately rerouted to a more elaborate URL address. If so, it would imply that someone, like a web builder may have been involved in assembling the phishing scheme. I'm thinking of calling the establishment to inform them of what I received allegedly from one of their employees. The website has a phone number. See if they know if the email address belongs to a known/legitimate employees of the business. Comments? Regards, Steven Vincent Johnson OrionWorks.com zazzle.com/orionworks
