Vicious Cycle of Corruption

Charlie Chaplin

History is an edited version authored by the ones who have the power at the moment. Ask Winston Smith. Charlie Chaplin was branded as a communist in the United States of America, the free country, because the democratic people, free thinkers, thought that he did not join their mob, because he remained free and neutral. The same views held by the Nazi people about their own people who did not support the Führer or who remained neutral. The US government attempted to deport this man and once when he was out of the country on a visit they blocked his return. He was deported from the USA until his visit for Oscars in 1972. He died in his sleep in Switzerland in 1977.

The following video is from the film The Great Dictator by Charlie Chaplin. Great speech.

Yahoo Mail No Messages

Since yesterday my Yahoo mail inbox has been empty. Somehow the option to automatically forward the mail has been activated. Yahoo has been forwarding my mail to a non-existent email address which I used around 10 years ago. I suspect this was an issue with Yahoo mail as I found another couple of users complaining the same thing. You can fix it by removing the old email address and setting it to POP in the POP and forward option in the Email Options page. But you can’t recover the forwarded mail.

Fossil Fuel Equivalent of a Barrel of Crude Oil at $30

In September, a privately held and highly secretive U.S. biotech company named Joule Unlimited received a patent for “a proprietary organism” – a genetically engineered cyanobacterium that produces liquid hydrocarbons: diesel fuel, jet fuel and gasoline. This breakthrough technology, the company says, will deliver renewable supplies of liquid fossil fuel almost anywhere on Earth, in essentially unlimited quantity and at an energy-cost equivalent of $30 (U.S.) a barrel of crude oil. It will deliver, the company says, “fossil fuels on demand.”

Breakthrough conversion of sunlight and waste carbon dioxide (CO2) directly into liquid hydrocarbons that are fungible with conventional diesel fuel.

This landmark achievement in industrial bioprocessing clears the path for large-scale renewable fuel production, addressing the cost, resource constraints and energy-intensive steps associated with biomass growth, harvesting, extraction and refining to reach an end product. The entire process produces more net energy than it consumes and yields sulfur-free, ultra-clean diesel.

The integrated platform will enable productivities above any other closed-system approach, with a commercial target of 15,000 gallons of diesel per acre annually. Joule’s pilot operations are currently underway, with commercial production targeted for 2012.
