November is World Vegan Month!
Image by Lonnon Foster via FlickrThese days, there’s so much wrong with the way meat is produced, and this funny but poignant Meatrix video shows you why. While some real-life videos about animal farming may be too confronting to watch, this one shows what’s wrong very clearly without being too disturbing.
Factory farming is bad for your health, the environment and animal welfare. Loads of antibiotics, hormones and pesticides are being used and it increases air and water pollution.

Too Much or Too Little: The Hazards of Mixing Antibiotics in the Feed Given to Food Animals
While humans are prescribed antibiotics at specific dosages in pills or injections, food animals are often given antibiotics mixed in their feed and freely choose how much to consume. These free-choice medicated feeds (FCMF) make it difficult to deliver an intended or predictable dose of antibiotics to food animals. The result can be disastrous; under-administration of antibiotics leads to unresolved infections and contributes to the development of antimicrobial resistance, while over-administration can cause animal toxicity and increase drug residues in meat and milk.

A theme that I have returned to over and over throughout the entire time I have been blogging has been the problem with the free-market approach to medicine that for-profit models necessarily pursue. Drugs that help bald men grow hair and old men get erections are profitable and see the investment dollars necessary for development, testing and marketing. Drugs that do not yield a healthy profit margin for their manufacturers do not. There isn't even any guarantee that medicines that are approved and proven effective at saving lives will continue to be manufactured if the profit margins are not high enough.
Increasing Your Blog’s Interactivity: 10 Tips for Staying Fresh
Success in attracting and retaining readers is often influenced by a blog’s level of interactivity. Many readers are more active than passive and want to feel like they have a role in affecting a blog’s content, design, structure, and overall ongoing conversation. Posts shouldn’t be thought of as soliloquies, but as the beginnings of highly interactive discourses. For effective ways to keep your blog interactive and encourage your readers to come back for more, try reading and adapting these ten tips to fit your blog’s needs.
1. Encourage Guest Posts
2. Write Guest Posts for Other Blogs
3. Take On a Friendly Role
4. Allow Guests to Express Themselves
5. Request Feedback
6. Demonstrate Good Intentions
7. Reward Your Readers
8. Hold Contests
9. Write at Least One Article Series

Media relations is no 'direct marketing' stunt
Hat Tip 5PWR
PR people of all stripes seek more fans, more friends, and more effective relations online and over the media. Reaching that point requires an investment of time, thought, and energy as opposed to a tendency to link digital media to “immediate” media.
We used to consider outreach to media as media relations. Today, media has expanded so widely that this function of managing relations requires more strategic thinking and replaces the "smile-and-dial" attitude. Being active in social media means running a "rolling press conference" and never leaving the podium. Similar to the way PR executives mingle with journalists and build a long-term relationship over mutual interests, it's vital to bridge between the digital coldness and the human touch belonging to the person behind the screen.
( Certainly I consider this a problem in the format I use to surf news. Mainly people stay 'out of the way' and watch the results - so much so that I wonder if there ARE any opinions on what you would like to see here. While admittedly this is a sampler designed to track the development of personal control of access to information and share knowhow...there will always be those accessing content from business computers, etc. who will not have the opportunity to risk such from where they use the net : nor do I encourage you to try many of the available programs on machines with records that should be kept offline. That's where an inexpensive 'Linux Box' is a marvel. Learning by installing Ubuntu using Wubi onto Windows has been cheap and educational : updates are built in, no Defragmentation needed, nor antimalware or antispyware. In fact, you find the backgrounder for Linux so broad that it is itself interesting. Just don't 'clean up' your software unless you have 'skills'! I erased dependencies and can't update one computer : it'll have to have contents saved and be reprogrammed from scratch...no IT here ! To be fair, help is available. I just haven't spent the time to learn how to track how to do so until I succeed. )

Lukery: Sibel Edmonds and the Untellable story of AIPAC (America Israel Public Affairs Committee)
Note from HongPong: I have talked with Lukery and he told me a while ago that I could repost material from his various nifty and methodical blogs about the Sibel Edmonds case, which remains stuck mostly in a dormant state. Sibel just announced she was willing to get slammed for the gag order if a national network will air her case. Tellingly, no one wants to bother so far. All of this was posted on Lukery's blog Let Sibel Edmonds Speak a while ago.

Nice work Lukery. Also be sure to check out the ever-solid BradBlog.com for GOP voting machine hacking and other whistle-blower stuff.

COLD FUSION IS HERE!!!
Understanding Lightning “Neltrons” is Key to Cold Fusion
Whereas in normal ignition there is a steady ignition pattern, ignition using this mixture cause spark crowns to appear over the surface of pistons causing a more complete combustion of the carbon.
Internal combustion engines don’t burn gasoline and presence of sparks, they only transform the gasoline into different types of gases like CO, CO2, HC, NO2. The expansion energy comes directly from this conversion. Heat is generated because the carbon atoms of the gasoline have a slow motion, while the hydrogen and oxygen atoms have high speed motion during the conversion. More hydrogen and oxygen from the hydrogen peroxide produces ultrafast conversion in gases, obtaining more expansion with less heat during the combustion because more the carbon is converted in CO2 ( carbon dioxide ) with less HC ( hydrocarbons).
Cold Fusion Reactions
When the four atoms of hydrogen isotope called deuterium gets pushed together in just the right way, they and form an atom of helium. That’s called a fusion reaction; the by product is to release of energy. Because there are no radioactive waste products like in conventional nuclear power ( fission – the splitting of uranium atoms ), fusion has long been attractive to scientists. The only problem is that conventional fusion reactors occur under enormous temperatures and pressures, the kind of conditions found in nature only in the center of the sun, other stars, and in nuclear weapons.
In 1988, two electro-chemists, Pons and Fleischmann disclosed evidence of nuclear reactions in solids at room temperature using a process called electrolysis, a way of making chemical reactions occur by passing electric current through a liquid. The nuclear reaction occured with palladium and lithium metal in a foil form surrounding the Pb electrode. The Pd cathode used in the electrolysis with an electrolyte, the surface layers of lithium metal and palladium lithium alloy have precipitated upon the surface of the palladium electrode with positive neutron affinity. During the reaction, large amounts of neutrons suffer the conversion into tritons with the generation of 2.7 micro electron volts fusing with hydrogen before losing its energy and stopping in the range of 1>10um. The anode of the electrolytic cell converts itself into another substance. Nelson calls this “Trapped Neutron Catalytic Fusion”.
