☆ Ohio, U.S.A., State Authorities Say “Fracking” Causes Seismic Events

News Analysis: Allegedly Hydraulic Fracturing (Fracking) of Sediments deep underground by using high pressure water and/or chemicals causes additional stress therein; these are said to be ‘Conditions Precedent’ for Seisms. As more time passes, and additional testing for Earthquakes takes place, will other States declare like Ohio, U.S.A., State Authorities and say “Fracking” Causes Seismic Events? Time will tell.

We think much more Problematic Possibilities occur around the ENTIRE GLOBE with what occurs: which we call “‘Accupressure’ of the Earth”. “Sky Scrapers” being built singularly or en masse in confined locales, i.e., Commercial Centers of Cities causes Great Stress, we think. The PRODIGIOUS MASS of each “Sky Scraper” causes pressure to directly underlying Sub-Strata (Much like a person standing on the edge of a Diving Board; it bends profoundly). We think that “Where the diver is standing on the board (Base, Middle, or End)” is of importance to Deflection as is his mass; so too are “Sky Scrapers” over their Sub-Strata.

A large stress by a building might have less effect to that which is underneath, in a particular locale, yet caused severe deflection of the Sub-Strata located elsewhere (that is: “It’s MASS LOCATION relative to the particular Sub-Strata may be Critical and cause Earth Quakes OVER TIME). Much as a Tectonic Plate may “Dive Under” another Plate, Fracturing of part of the Plate (Seism) relieves pressure build-up. So too, pressure build-up due to “Sky Scrapers” being erected over a particular Sub-Strata may cause it to deflect and release pressure MANY miles away.

Perhaps, New York City, with its multitudes of such “Monsters”, while built on Granite, is stressing other geologies, far afield. If for example, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, was struck with a huge Earthquake, would it be connected to the stress caused by the vaunted ” Big Apple”?

Since Ohio, U.S.A., State Authorities declare: “‘Fracking’ Causes Seismic Events” what would they think about Chicago, Illinois, “Sky Scrapers” stressing ‘The Buckeye State’? 

Geologists, who Scientifically Test Our Postulation, will have to be undaunted by severe attacks by “Vested Construction Interests” of Bankers, Insurance Companies, and Real Estate Developers. To some, “The Truth Hurts”.

Seismologists must “Think Outside The Box” and investigate our “Acupressure of the Earth” Theorem since, if verified, its effects may be profound. We offer It to those, with an Open Mind, who seek the Technical Truth.

Novosibirsk’s River Ob Bridge: “A Thing Of Beauty Is A Joy Forever”

News Analysis: Novosibirsk’s River Ob Bridge: “A Thing Of Beauty Is A Joy Forever” is aesthetically, ‘Easy On The Eyes’ many Russian Citizens say. This Largest Bridge in Europe, at an Arch Span of 380 Meters (1,246 Feet), will be completed  at the end of October, this year.

A Structure of Beauty can be Designed and Built just as easy as something Aesthetically Boring; This, IF the Creator(s) have ‘Vision’ and can “Think Outside The Box”; such Capabilities have the Russians.

One can only assume that as their Far East (Siberia) develops, Artistic Monuments in its Infrastructure, will be prevalent throughout its 5,057,938 Mi2.

Since the Natural Resources of the Russian Far East are Beyond Spectacular, Entrepreneurs and Investors will want to consider funding projects therein. As the Political Rhetoric of today fades away, Capitalism will prevail, especially for those who are aggressive and have Economic Vision about this Horn of Plenty: Siberia.

Argentina’s Huge Vaca Muerta Oil and Shale Gas Reservoir Gets Accelerated Development

News Analysis: The huge 30,000 Km2 (12,000 Mi2) Formation has its Shale at a depth of 2,900+/- Meters (9,500 Feet) with an average thickness of 400 Meters (1,300 Feet) covering the entire area. Now, Argentina’s Huge Vaca Muerta Oil and Shale Gas Reservoir Gets Accelerated Development  with an American Oil Company joining an Argentine Concern.

The American Government estimates Hydrocarbons subject to recovery are 16.2 Billion Barrels of Oil and 308 Trillion Cubic Feet of Natural Gas.

Investors who finance such a project as the Vaca Muerta can win substantial monetary returns on a “Sure Thing” as it eventually goes into Production Increase.

The question many Geologists ask: How many other large Shale Oil/Gas Reservoirs are there: besides, the Vaca Muerta; the Orinoco Basin in Venezuela; and the Bakken Field in North Dakota, U.S.A.; and of course the biggest of all, the Bazhenov Formation in the Urals area of Russia.

Beyond being ‘Fashionable’ for being renewable and lower polluting, Alternative Energy Sources OF EARTH are presently Quantitatively Minuscule (a relative Scintilla) compared to available Energy from Vast Petrochemical ‘Reservoirs’ as aforementioned.

Perhaps the “Marketing Capacity (‘Hype’)” of those who promote Alternative Energy Sources is more Productive than the Actual Energy available from those entities NOW; and less of the Petrochemicals to which they remonstrate.

To the Chemical Engineers and Physicists who desire to “Think Outside The Box” regarding this General “Power” Subject, We suggest the “Non-Polluting” ‘Energy Potential’ conjoined with the HUMONGOUS  ‘Quantitative Source Availability” in Sea Water.

Missing Vaginas On Females Are Laboratory Created And Transplanted Into Them

News Analysis: Remarkable Medical Innovation, worthy of Nobel Prizes, in that Missing Vaginas On Females Are Laboratory Created And Transplanted into them. The organs, which originate from the Girls own cells are produced on a Collagen ‘Scaffold’, grown further,  and molded into the proper size to fit the particular person’s anatomy.

The organs grow and function as ‘Originally Designed’ by the “Creator”; these being ‘Replications’ of “His” Work.

A Spectacular Element of this Research and Development is that is will give other Scientists insight into the vast capabilities of the Systems and Sub-Systems Capability of the Human Body.

These Gentlemen who “Pushed the Envelop” of Physiological Knowledge are definitely worthy of Nobel Prizes, if anyone is.

★ Russia Is Developing Its Own 1.2 Petaflop Computer: An Inspired “Activity For Self-Sufficiency” Which All Nations May Want To Pursue

News Analysis: Russia Is Developing Its Own 1.2 Petaflop Computer: An Inspired “Activity for Self-Sufficiency” which All Nations May Want To Pursue (rather than follow other Countries like  “Sheep Dogs”). Since Russia does not want to be at the mercy of other Nations’ Politicians, it has chosen the “Road To Electronic Independence”; (to the dismay of varied Countries’ Politicians’ Puppet Masters, one may presume). It will eventually manufacture all of  the Electronic Components and Systems it needs; not be beholden to others with Nefarious Intentions (with smiles of their faces). This will apply to Commercial as well as Military Hardware one may presume.

Commercial Self-Sufficiency of ALL NATIONS, be it in terms of Energy, Manufacturing, Research, and/or Technology are worthwhile goals to actively pursue.

A Nation that is largely self-sufficient is a much stronger entity than those which must rely on other Countries for its Security. It is far better to be beholden to No Others, than to be a Minion to a “Tyrant”, many people think. Often, a Country with Weak Leaders who lack confidence, will seek out “Alliances” with other Nations; Cooperation is good, Kowtowing is bad. These Politicians effectively make their constituencies Servile to another Country’s Leadership; a Bad Idea!

We think as “Independence of Thought” is an excellent idea for People, it also of “Survival Value” for Nations. Perhaps, Hegemonic Nations, which presently exist, might be Less Truculent if they understand that their Aggressions will not be tolerated by Self-Sufficient Countries.

Reality.

Gold Crystal Is: Artful, Genuine, Rare, And Very Valuable

News Analysis: “Neutron Activation Analysis” at Los Alamos National Laboratories in New Mexico, U.S.A. confirmed a Single Gold Crystal Structure. The Gold Crystal Is: Artful, Genuine, Rare, and Very Valuable, Assessors think. The ‘photogenic’  217.78 Gm. (7.7 Oz.) Aurum (Au) Nugget  was slightly worn due to tumbling within the river current to where it was discovered. 

Collectors are certainly anticipated to want to bid on this unusual Singular Crystal. One might expect a price far exceeding the Afternoon (Second L.M.E.) Fix for Gold. In fact, compared to the soaring prices of some large Diamonds (due principally to capable ‘Marketing’ efforts of Auction Houses), this Gold Nugget is genuinely “ONE OF A KIND”; verified by the Premier Technical Laboratory of America at Los Alamos, New Mexico.

☆ Solar Powered Aircraft Is Designed To Circumnavigate The Globe

News Analysis: The just revealed Solar Powered Aircraft Is Designed To Circumnavigate The Globe with its crew of two. Subsequent to an earlier version of a smaller aircraft, which transited the United States, this version has been designed for Intercontinental travel.

The Entrepreneurs who consummated this Project are to be commended for their

Assumption of Risk (Financial and future Physical), Manufacturing Prowess, Vision, and Tenacity.

In their own manner, they are like a “Felix Baumgartner” of the World,; a MAN to which we hold in Great Esteem for his “Increasing Man’s Scientific Knowledge (At Possible Inordinate Physical Risk to Himself)”.

Some Men Are “Men”; Many Others Are Mere Apparitions of Such.

Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel Can Only Guess As To What The NSA Knows About Her

News Analysis: Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel Can Only Guess As To What The U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) knows about Her since it will not release a Copy of Her file to the Chancellor; Naturally.

The Omnipotent and Omniscient ‘NSA’ does” What it wants, When it wants, to Whom it wants, many International Observers think.

If one thinks about the Adage of Britain’s Lord Palmerston: “Nations have no permanent friends or allies. They only have permanent interests.” then the hopes of the German Chancellor to have an Ally (America) act as an “Ally:,  is a ‘Non Sequitur’, unfortunately.

One might think that there is Absolutely Nothing that Germans can do to  protect their Privacy. This Assumption is Incorrect; one must merely “Think Outside The Box” for answers to achieving Privacy in Germany (or elsewhere); We have.

We cannot divulge our Conclusions about this problem for: “The ‘NSA’ might be listening”.  

To the German People we say: “Contact Us, Face-to-Face. We can help.”

☆ Police Cooperation Is Essential, World-Wide, For Illegal Drug Distribution

News Analysis: Police Cooperation Is Essential, World-Wide, For Illegal Drug Distribution many International Law Enforcement Veterans think; a few “Bad Apples” ruin the ‘Pie’. Corrupting  one or more of the ‘Local Police’ in a community gives the Distributors ‘Protection’ (so they are not arrested with their ‘Community Goods’).

The spectacular Global Omnipresence of Cocaine, Heroin, Lysergic Acid Diethylamide [LSD], Marijuana, Methamphetamines, and Opium, among other ‘Products’ EVERYWHERE, can only occur with Cooperating Law Enforcement Personnel; ‘Unenforced Law Enforcement (ULE) is what some people call this situation.

Not only is ‘ULE’ part of the problem, but also ‘Money Laundering’ of the Prodigious Sums being constantly received. When the amounts coming into the ‘Cartels’ exceed their abilities to “Clean them”, they gets warehoused. There are many anecdotes about ‘Monies Palletized” in Warehouses and Rats eating some of the Dollars. Guards shoot at them with shotguns (with small pellets) to stop the encroachment.

If one considers: Accountants, Attorneys, Bankers, Big-Ticket Salesmen,  Judges, Medical Professionals, Real Estate Brokers, Stock Brokers, and others who gain from these Nefarious Activities, “Who Is Really Clean?”. If the users of the ‘Chemicals’ are included, the answer is: “Those Who Are Too Wise To Be Stupid”.

The Accused Real-life “Miami Vice” Lieutenant is merely one who got caught; all of the others are still plying their Trade, World-Wide. As long as there are Buyers, there will be Sellers.

☆ Renewable Energy Investments (REI’s) World-Wide Are Abating

News Analysis: Renewable Energy Investments (REI’s) World-Wide Are Abating many businessmen say; this, because the Return on Investment (ROI) is mediocre at best. All of the Direct and Indirect Costs associated with many ‘REI’s’ are much greater than possible Earnings Over Time.

A big Countering-Factor in the Energy Sector is that Petroleum Reserves are being expanded by both Off-Shore Deep-water Deposits and Colossal Size Oil Shale Fields. As an example, the Oil Shale Field in Venezuela and the one in Russia Ural Area are both individually larger than some countries!

Economically it is difficult to better energy over Petroleum. Many ‘REI’s’ have inconsistent energy production on a daily basis; the Wind may not blow, Solar Cells do not work well at night on mere Starlight. Another difficulty with ‘REI’s’ is energy transport from sources to Humanity. One may find a great Geo-Thermal Vent but there is no way to transmit its Energy long distances to where it may be needed (without extensive Investments). Petroleum is mature as to its Delivery Infrastructure.

While it is certainly fashionable to “Think Green”, International Businessmen know one must also “Think Green” (about Money). Without Money, Their Days Will Not Be Sunny.
