Norway Cement Plant Aims to Clean Up - Headline NYT Tuesday, Oct 29 p/B2This plan, as written, is so full of factual and logical errors as to bewilder any knowledgeable reader and is further complicated by my belief the Times “writer” had engaged Chat/WTF….“More than half a ton of the gas arises from every ton of cement that a plant like this turns out.”NYT 10 - 29 - (20-24) P/B1If these numbers are accurate, it might make more sense to spend those Euros on an environmental upgrade to the existing facility, which apparently is only 25% efficient. Perhaps they should consider powering the cement plant with an overdrive-equipped cyber/truck by Tesla.

El Niño is forced off shore by the south flowing Japan current. It gets its name from the capricious or abnormal appearance thought to cyclic ie every ninth year. However, due to our continuing satellite observation we have found it's always with us, but it's effects may vary with the apparent width of the current. The width of the phenomenon may mean more rain for California.

Piano Music courtesy of Bellevue Presbyterian Church. Everyone loves good old Leonardo in addition to being an artist ie The Last Supper & Mona Lisa, his futuristic designs made him famous. Problema most of his designs were unworkable. For example, he envisioned man-powered flight using a “rowing machine”…. Man-powered flight had to wait for the invention of the bicycle and the vinyl envelope. Or a parachute with a wooden canopy - another nonstarter.So it is with Elon Musk's transportation ideas, such as a series of narrow tunnels under LA, kind of like that LooneyTunes one-way tunnel proposed by our own Mayor Megan Berry. He is still working on Space Ship One a one-way trip to Mars.

Music courtesy of Bellevue Bluegrass Trio at Bellevue Presbyterian Church, used with permission, recorded by iPhone.California's electric problems may soon be over — Two months ago (July 25) it was reported that a turbine exploded at Hoover Dam. The report was incorrect — it was a transformer fire. Generating Turbines are not off-the-shelf equipment, of course neither are transformers, but there are many of them, and they are much easier to repair they are an exterior part, not like a turbine and interior part.Instead of not charging Tesla's, perhaps housewives in LA can “line dry” their clothes, go back to hand washing dishes or turn off every other light in their home. Any one of these strategies will ease the shortage.PS You may not use solar energy to charge your Tesla, it requires 220V & we live in a 110V society.

Music courtesy of Bellevue Presbyterian Church & Dr. Ming Wang Answer on terrestrial radio they cost you more! Ask Kim Komando!A token of my appreciation is winging its way toward podnews an online podcast development service from the UK.A podcast critic from the UK dinged a podcast host for “doing it badly”. Of course, he's entitled to his opinion. If you're lucky enough to have a sponsor, treat them well.The only thing poor performance can cost you is listeners & they are everything. Yes, it helps to “separate” commercial content from “editorial” but that's a function of “stingers”. Those little broadcast squiggles are so beloved of “real” radio. I am reminded of a comment by Mark Twain “Never pick a fight with anyone who buys ink by the barrel.”I have changed it to: “Don't pick a fight with anyone who only goes by initials which includes: IRS, BMI, & ASCAP.”FYI/Internal Revenue Service (the income tax guys - for the benefit of listers in the UK), Broadcast Music Inc, American Society of Composers, Authors & Publishers. You don't want to get that message “Show us your copyright”.Fortunately for this podcaster, my Apple is populated with stingers & jingles, “Apple's” royalty-free music This podcast critique reminds me of those words of George Bernard Shaw “England & America are one people separated by a common language."
Opening & closing music courtesy of Bellevue Presbyterian Church (37221)We got hurt & the nation demanded retribution.We lost the first battle of WW IV and we don't know it! We don't even know when it happened. Was it the Marine barracks in Lebanon or the USS Cole? 911 was a wake-up call.What are we trained to do in an emergency? Dial nine - one - one of course. It's the one thing you may do from an otherwise locked iPhone. Our problem is our focus we employed the same strategy as in Viet Nam. We fought an amorphous enemy on his terms. The famous “seek & destroy” found nothing & destroyed the wrong stuff. We could have played The “Great Satan” card & made Kabul vanish in a cloud of nuclear dust. Sun Tsu would have counseled patience. “Know your enemy & in 1000 battles, you will not know defeat.” Revenge is a dish best served cold.

If they do something such as “We demand producers justify price increases” — It's just so much eyewash. Mass Market retailers stopped caring about pricing since the advent of the product bar codeModern writers would call it posturing!Retailers “rent” shell space to favored producers — Consider the soft drink aisle. There's red stuff & blue stuff with a smattering of Green Stuff. Coke & Pepsi pay for the privilege of offering a blizzard of varieties of a single product and we believe we have a choice.For confirmation peek in at the deodorant aisle and you find Proctor & Gamble owns that section. Consider Costco, not only do they charge you $50 for the privilege of shopping — they offer only two grades of gasoline. Low-priced regular & high priced premium.Music courtesy of Bellevue Presbyterian Church, used with permission
Music courtesy of Bellevue Presbyterian Church, a special performance.Tech News is more important than the weather! Jamey Tucker WhatTheTech TV — Not at USA TodayTech writer WhatTheTech/TV Jamey Tucker told me that nine years ago. He was a reporter for Channel Two News Nashville Tennessee. I have been buying the weekend edition of USA Today to access another of my “favorite” tech writers Kim Komando & paying an ever-changing price to do it. Today's issue was a disappointment KK wasn't there and I paid $3 for the privilege of not reading her advice. Perhaps the solution should be to open the paper & look for KK before I commit to purchasing.Instead, The USA is telling us how our leadership is putting “baby formula” on a wartime basis. It's a crock.We are the county that insisted on having two telephone suppliers, and two smartphones — How come we wound up with one Baby Formula Supplier?
"I reject Eurocentric religion a.k.a racist religion because it promotes "divine colonization" and "divine imperialism." -Antonio Myers "The way our sensibilities are shaped determines who we are, including the order of our loves. For many Christians, their politics has become more of an identity marker than their faith. They might insist that they are interpreting their politics through the prism of scripture, with the former subordinate to the latter, but in fact scripture and biblical ethics are often distorted to fit their politics. Scott Dudley, the senior pastor at Bellevue Presbyterian Church in Bellevue, Washington, refers to this as “our idolatry of politics.” He's heard of many congregants leaving their church because it didn't match their politics, he told me, but has never once heard of someone changing their politics because it didn't match their church's teaching. He often tells his congregation that if the Bible doesn't challenge your politics at least occasionally, you're not really paying attention to the Hebrew scriptures or the New Testament. The reality, however, is that a lot of people, especially in this era, will leave a church if their political views are ever challenged, even around the edges." I also noticed that racist religion means assailing the sexual and reproductive health and rights of females (which I am deeply displeased by.) I like Social Justice Jesus, I like Jesus being a SJW (Social Justice Warrior). That's the only Jesus I like, admire, give acclaim to, and tread on the heels of. I read secular literature and religious texts. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/antonio-myers4/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/antonio-myers4/support

If not in production certainly in transportation — Last Spring I picked up a Tomato @ $1.95/lb. in Publix — labeled produced in Canada, which meant that tomato traveled from Canada to Lakeland Florida & then from Lakeland to Nashville, Tennessee.What's the latest from those environmental dunces' at the Nashville Public library? You know those guys who received a paycheck from you when you couldn't go to work. Not content with a false claim to be a so-called LEED Building Yes Virginia those electric hand warmers are in evidence. Last week I showed you how they are contaminating the plastic recycle stream by combining recycle bins A bad idea akin to putting household edibles in your compost pile. It's not efficiency it's contamination The latest from these environmental know-nothings is the plastic library card It's past time for us to apply the brakes to this Tsunami of unnecessary plastic that includes distributing N'Focus magazine in the plastic wrapper. What they have to say is just not that important.

Last night 03 - 06 - at about 18:30 hours CST my main TV was interrupted with this message “Now you can link all your devices to your U-Verse service….”If A. T. & T. thought of it — it's probably a bad idea - from the viewpoint of the user that is.Friends don't fooled by the presumed generosity of this former communications giant. I can imagine what's in my future - billing for each connected device — “Stugart Passes”I had one hell-of-a-fight when I had cellular service with ATT — they kept billing me $25 monthly for Safari on my iPhone. I finally settled their hash by switching carriers. If it wasn't for Steve Jobs & the iPhone, ATT would be a footnote in the history of the twenty-first century. This is just one more ploy to increase their revenue stream at your expense. Piano music courtesy of Bellevue Presbyterian Church was used with permission.
