Hi all,
It takes here up to 4 hours online to update an anti virus and
thus protection from would be hackers or just game players with zilch to do. To
update I need to select one update at a time as the server may go off within 30
minutes and thus I would have lost all if I had selected all downloads at once.
Yes we have a server problem, this we can do nothing about given the country and
conditions.
Takes me a "Journey to forever" to even locate a site let
alone down load or read, if I read articles online the server drops out, such we
start again, this truly is a never ending journey.
To this end, so far I have available quantities of Jotropha of
the toxic variety. I can plant these on "Raped" hillsides to stop erosion and
start terraced rice or other agricultural farms. I have a home made press
for oil extraction and using large drums to make ethanol. Have run several
batches so far so good with drying in lime.
Have farm tractors running on the filtered Jatropha oil with
no other treatment just press the oil, filter it and then straight into the fuel
tank of the engine. Works fine on them.
However, I do need help here from you that have done this
before. What I DO NOT want is to introduce mass growing of a seed if it is going
to be found toxic when there is one that is non-toxic. I would much rather not
kill off the people but continue with humanity in harmony with nature without
being an extreme radical or a purist or any other such thing/name. I need help
in locating a non toxic Jatropha seed that has the same or similar
characteristics of the ones already in production here since the French
introduced them for lamp oil a hundred years or so ago.
The land has much erosion, the Mekong water level fluctuates
daily in the wet season, this indicating less retention or quicker water
run-off due to lack of substantial ground cover. No need for details as it is
more likely in archives on every green web-site mentionable. To stop the top
soils and thus the Mekong river mud color, stability and longer run-off
periods are needed. This will not happen unless there are steps taken to cover
the very many bare hillsides that have been used for slash and burn agricultural
practices. I am no spring chicken and as such don't want to go about inventing
the wheel again. There is no, as said before, silver bullet. I think
in this case here there just might be such a bullet, to stop the erosion,
give subsistence slash and burn farmers an income and better crop yields and
slow down the amount of mud thus slightly changing the water color of the 10th
largest river in the world.
So far no one has been able to satisfy the Jatropha issue
in straight language that is not going to take "a journey to forever" to
download and read, as every 30 minutes or so the server drops off line then
I need to start the search again I will not get there in this life time. Took 17
goes to get my e-mail downloaded this morning, some coming in more than
triplicate due to being logged off and on.
I am way too far out of town at this stage for any wireless
connection so am stuck with a very old server that will not send to AOL or
OZEMAIL and others due to the servers age. This is not in my hands to even
consider doing anything to improve. On the up side, this is still better than
the postal service systems around the world so in essence this is not a
complaint but an indication of a difficulty probably experienced by more than
this country.
Best to all.
