Discover how multi-platform review strategies can dramatically boost your conversion rates while simplifying the review collection process. Learn actionable tips for online reputation management from DJ Sprague, co-author of "Reputation King" and expert in eCommerce review syndication.In this enlightening conversation, Matt Edmundson and DJ Sprague explore the often overlooked world of online reputation management. Contrary to common practice, DJ reveals that displaying reviews only on your website is like "living on an island" - people only see them if they get there. Instead, the key is distributing reviews across multiple platforms to build trust, improve SEO, and significantly increase conversion rates.The episode challenges conventional thinking about review collection, exploring why businesses should aim to capture feedback from all customers (not just the unhappy ones) and why making the review process simple is absolutely crucial for success.About DJ Sprague:DJ Sprague is a veteran in marketing, advertising, sales and PR with over 35 years of experience. He began his career with Eastman Kodak and worked extensively in automotive marketing with brands like Toyota, Hyundai, and Lexus. As a reputation management specialist since the early 90s, DJ has founded three agencies and is the co-author of "Reputation King," the first comprehensive book on eCommerce reputation management. Key Takeaways:- Customers tend to check multiple review platforms before making purchasing decisions- Displaying only positive reviews is considered false advertising and erodes trust- The best time to collect initial reviews is immediately post-checkout while customers are still online- Keep surveys simple - 3-5 questions maximum with the most important question first- Providing a clear reason for requesting reviews significantly increases response rates- Video reviews are increasingly important for visibility in search results- Northwestern University research shows 5 product reviews can increase conversion rates by 270%For more information on transforming your online reputation management strategy, visit https://www.ecommercepodcast.net

A lo largo de la historia los seres humanos han deseado capturar la realidad para inmortalizar un momento, el aspecto de una persona o el mundo que les rodea. Así nació la pintura, cuyos orígenes hay que buscarlos en el paleolítico. Pero la pintura tiene sus particularidades. Pasa por el tamiz del artista y que sea más o menos fidedigna depende de los consensos culturales de cada época y de la habilidad y el instrumental que emplee el pintor. En la pintura la imaginación juega un papel primordial, ya que se puede pintar lo que se desee. Es un modo un tanto libre de plasmar la realidad circundante y, como tal, puede estar sometido a todo tipo de alteraciones. El primer paso hacia la captura fiel del mundo exterior lo dio un químico alemán llamado Johann Heinrich Schulze a principios del siglo XVIII, en plena revolución científica. Schulze empleó una suspensión fotosensible para capturar imágenes temporales de letras, aunque sin conseguir conservarlas permanentemente. Décadas más tarde, y tras una serie de infructuosas pruebas, el británico Thomas Wedgwood intentó sin éxito fijar imágenes de manera permanente, creando fotogramas detallados pero efímeros. Schulze y Wedgwood habían conseguido la captura, pero no que ésta permaneciese. Los avances en la industria química permitieron al francés Nicéphore Niépce en 1826 fijar de forma indeleble la primera imagen captada por una cámara, aunque, eso sí, tras efectuar una exposición muy larga. Su colaboración con Louis Daguerre llevó al desarrollo del daguerrotipo en 1839, el primer método fotográfico comercialmente viable. Este proceso utilizaba una placa de plata yodada que reducía el tiempo de exposición a unos pocos minutos y ofrecía una claridad y detalle sin precedentes. Paralelamente, en Inglaterra, William Henry Fox Talbot inventó el calotipo, que permitía la creación de negativos de papel de los cuales se podían hacer múltiples copias positivas. Esto permitió abaratar el proceso y hacerlo más accesible. La competencia entre estos dos métodos iniciales impulsó más innovaciones, como el proceso de colodión en la década de 1850, que combinaba la calidad de imagen del daguerrotipo con la reproductibilidad del calotipo. La fotografía continuó evolucionando con la introducción de la película flexible por George Eastman en 1888 y su cámara Kodak, que democratizó la fotografía con un lema publicitario que decía "Usted presiona el botón, nosotros hacemos el resto". Este avance simplificó enormemente el proceso y, sobre todo, lo popularizó. A principios del siglo XX la fotografía se había convertido ya en algo muy común al alcance de prácticamente todo el mundo. Pero esas fotografías de los primeros tiempos eran en blanco y negro. Los seres humanos vemos en color por lo que aparecieron especialista en coloreado. Los químicos, entretanto, se concentraron en conseguir capturas en color, algo que consiguieron en 1907 con el proceso Autochrome de los hermanos Lumière. Las fotos en color eran costosas al principio. Hasta mediado el siglo XX no se popularizaron gracias a películas para el gran público como la Kodachrome y la Agfacolor. Esta tecnología permitió capturar y reproducir el mundo en todo su espectro cromático, expandiendo así las posibilidades artísticas y documentales de la fotografía, que para finales del siglo XX era ya omnipresente. Fue en ese momento cuando se produjo la revolución digital. Steven Sasson de Eastman Kodak creó el primer prototipo de cámara digital en 1975, dando comienzo a una transición que en unos años haría obsoletas las técnicas fotoquímicas tradicionales. La fotografía digital no solo permitió la edición y manipulación de imágenes de formas antes impensables, sino que extendió aún más la práctica, especialmente con la incorporación de cámaras en los teléfonos inteligentes y la conexión de estos a internet a principios del siglo XXI.

The full, eventful, and rich life of Lew Wallace is examined in detail in "Lew: The Life and Times of the Author of Ben Hur." Biographer Michael E. Fox appears on the Sunbury Press Books Show to discuss Wallace's career, and how one of the most popular novels of the 19th century was not religious, but a semi-autobiographical account of his own times. Fox traces Wallace's early life in Indiana (Fox was raised in Crawfordsville, where Wallace was sent for schooling at the age of nine, and where he retired), his experience in the Mexican War, and his time serving as a field commander under General Ulysses S. Grant during the western campaigns of the American Civil War. Wallace also served as Governor of the New Mexico Territory, where he completed "Ben Hur," and as a US Minister to the Ottoman Empire. Wallace's greatest work, "Ben Hur: A Tale of the Christ" is considered the most spiritually influential novel of the century. He also wrote several other novels and a biography of President Benjamin Harrison, a fellow Indianan and Civil War general.  Michael E. Fox developed friendships during his childhood with men who knew Wallace. He is a graduate of Purdue University, an attorney, and with a Master of Law (LLM) with Honors. He has worked for Eastman Kodak and served as President of Screen GP Americas, a maker of high-speed, high-resolution printing equipment and is considered a pioneer in modern-day printing and publishing technology. Now retired, he lives in Southern California.  

Linda Tugnoli"Art Night""Il volto e l'anima. Indagine sul ritratto"Mercoledì 24 aprile 2024 alle 21.15 su Rai 5Art Night Il volto e l'anima. Indagine sul ritratto Il volto umano: la prima forma che si distingue, appena nati. La prima che si cerca di rappresentare. Un soggetto che ha attraversato tutta la storia dell‟arte occidentale. In tempi molto recenti, però, è stato però varcato un confine invisibile. Lo racconta “Art Night” in onda mercoledì 24 aprile alle 21.15 in prima visione su Rai 5 con Neri Marcorè, con un documentario di Linda Tugnoli prodotto da Mark in video. Uno studio recentissimo dell‟Australian National University ha messo in luce come, nei ritratti fotografici, i volti prodotti dall‟Intelligenza Artificiale siano ormai percepiti come più veri del vero. E‟ la soglia di una nuova era? Anche nell‟arte la rivoluzione è già iniziata. Il collettivo Obvious ha creato il primo ritratto creato con l‟Intelligenza Artificiale battuto all‟asta da Christie‟s a più di 400.000 dollari e il ritratto è stato generato da un algoritmo che per produrlo ha analizzato circa 15.000 ritratti di varie epoche storiche. «Siamo stati creati per guardarci l‟un l‟altro» scriveva Edgar Degas che, a Parigi, prendeva l‟omnibus ogni giorno per potersi immergere quotidianamente in una folla di volti. E nel ritratto, ogni epoca ha espresso l‟idea che l‟uomo aveva di sé stesso. Per questo, interrogarsi sull‟interesse dell‟arte occidentale per il ritratto, cioè per la sua attitudine introspettiva, prevede delle domande che, se da una parte spaziano dalla pittura alla scultura, alla fotografia, alle opere realizzate con l‟ausilio dell‟intelligenza artificiale, dall‟altra si collocano necessariamente al confine tra storia dell‟arte, scienza e filosofia. La speculazione sul profondo attraverso la raffigurazione del volto significa innanzitutto analisi delle emozioni. All‟origine del ritratto moderno, nel senso appunto di questa capacità introspettiva, possiamo collocare Leonardo Da Vinci, con i suoi studi di fisiognomica e la sua raccomandazione di rappresentare i moti dell‟animo attraverso i tratti del volto: dal suo Trattato della Pittura: «Farai le figure in tale atto, il quale sia sufficiente a dimostrare quello che la figura ha nell‟animo.» Ma la geniale intuizione di Leonardo, ripresa da Degas nella sua idea che osservarci l‟un l‟altro sia l‟essenza dell‟umano, non riecheggia forse anche nelle recenti ricerche delle neuroscienze, tra cui un‟importantissima scoperta tutta italiana: quella dei neuroni specchio? Giacomo Rizzolatti, neuroscienziato di cui già più volte è stato fatto il nome per il Nobel, ha scoperto che il cervello risponde alle emozioni che legge sul volto di un altro con delle configurazionineuronali che non si limitano a “leggere” quelle emozioni ma, incredibilmente, le mimano, le riproducono. Il racconto di “Art Night” procede per suggestioni e per nuclei tematici, ma si appoggia anche a una solida linea del tempo che conduce dai volti quasi assenti nell‟arte rupestre del Paleolitico alle maschere funerarie egizie per poi riflettere sull‟originalità e la forza della ritrattistica romana nel campo della scultura. Si indagherà lo sviluppo della fisiognomica a partire dagli studi anticipatori di Leonardo al trattato cinquecentesco del Della Porta fino a Le Brun e agli sconfinamenti nello studio della follia e dell‟antropologia criminale di Lombroso. Parallelamente, si seguirà la ricerca della verità nel ritratto a partire dal „400, dove un punto di partenza può essere individuato nei sorrisi eternizzati dell‟Ignoto marinaio di Antonello da Messina e la sua più celebre controparte femminile, la Gioconda. La storia del ritratto si imbatte poi alla bizzarra vicenda umana e artistica di Lorenzo Lotto, che prelude alle vette della ritrattistica di Rembrandt, Velasquez, Vermeer, fino alla tappa definitiva della psicanalisi, che con Freud nel 1900 svela l‟esistenza di profondità fino ad allora insondate a pittori come Modigliani, Klimt, Schiele e poi ai surrealisti. Con la fotografia, che soppianta il ritratto e ne riprende all‟inizio certe caratteristiche (per esempio l‟assenza di sorriso, almeno fino all‟apparecchio portatile della Eastman-Kodak alla fine dell‟800) si entra in una nuova era, fino agli approdi più recenti che aprono nuove dimensioni nel futuro, dall‟arte digitale al deep fake. Nel programma intervengono Amy Dawel, Associate Professor, The Australian National University; l‟artista Pierre Fautrel, Obvious Ai & Art, Parigi; Francois Debrabant, Direttore Museo Preistorico La Sabline a Lussac- Les-Chateaux e Oscar Fuentes, archeologo del Centre National De Préhistoire; Anna Oliverio Ferraris, scrittrice e psicologa.

The amazing rise of Kodak was due to innovation after innovation and you'll never guess why George Eastman called it Kodak. Dave Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not-so-secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom-and-pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector, and storyteller. I'm Stephen's sidekick and business partner Dave Young. Before we get into today's episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, well, it's us, but we're highlighting ads we've written and produced for our clients. So here's one of those. [Tommy Cool Air Ad] Dave Young: Hey, welcome back to the Empire Builders podcast. Dave Young here, and Stephen Semple's right there. Well, you probably can't see him, but I can see them. How you doing this morning? Because we record these in the morning. If you're listening in the evening, I felt the need to say that in case you were confused. Stephen Semple: Especially since before we started the recording, you were slurping your coffee. Dave Young: Right, in case you've never listened to a podcast before, and you didn't know they weren't live. So just before we started, yes, I was slurping my coffee, and yes, Stephen whispered into my ear today's topic. And I tell you, it is funny how words do this. This brand has sort of defined its own... It became the word for its product. It became the word for an industry almost. And when you told me the name, I had a Kodak moment. Stephen Semple: There you go. Yes. Dave Young: Right? But we're going to talk about Kodak, Eastman Kodak company, and when you said Kodak, I'm like, "Oh, man." I remember my first little Instamatic Kodak camera. And the pictures that, I think it was the 110 film that took a picture and- Stephen Semple: Oh yeah, the little film? Yeah. Dave Young: ... when you developed it, you got a four-by-four picture and a little smaller version of the same picture, wallet sized, right next to it. Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: I thought that was the coolest thing. I would carry those little photos around. And I had a picture, I don't know if I still have it. It's probably tucked away somewhere. It's probably in a box somewhere. But there was a picture of me on my grandfather's horse. He had passed away already, and I was like maybe four or five, and I'm on this horse, and the horse's name was Euchre Bill. Stephen Semple: Euchre Bill. Dave Young: I can't explain that. Grandpa was gone. Stephen Semple: Card-playing horse, Euchre Bill. Dave Young: Maybe. I don't know. So that was the Kodak moment. Instantly, as soon as you said Kodak, it took me to that picture, which was still attached with its little picture next to it. Stephen Semple: I think we forget how big Kodak was. And lots of things led... Well, we even did an episode, back episode 77, where we actually looked at what we felt was the decline of Kodak that I did with Gary Bernier. At its peak, in 1996, Kodak was two-thirds of the global film market. In '76, it was 90% of all film sales in the United States, 85% of camera sales. In '96, it was the fifth most valuable business in the world, which is really quite remarkable. Dave Young: We tell our local clients that, man, if you can get to 35%, 40% market share in your category, you're a rock star. Here these guys were worldwide. Stephen Semple: Worldwide, 66%. Yeah. So today we're going to talk about what made Kodak amazing, and then the decline. We've sort of done this backwards. The decline we talked about back in 77. They were founded on May 23rd, 1892 in Rochester, New York by George Eastman. And George became the breadwinner of his family at age 14 when his father died, and he took a job as a messenger boy at an insurance company, and he was making three bucks a week. And then he became an office boy at another insurance company.

We return to the history of light-emitting diodes, LEDs, but now talk about the development of organic versions, OLEDs, from the secret work of Roger Partridge to the now classic publication by Ching Tang and Steven Vanslyke at Eastman Kodak. Through the 1990s, more and more colors were added, so by the mid-1990s, the first commercial OLED product was marketed by electronics firm Pioneer. We also distinguish between passive and active matrix OLEDs.Support the show Support my podcast at https://www.patreon.com/thehistoryofchemistry Tell me how your life relates to chemistry!

Bienvenidos a un nuevo directo en Telegram. Hoy vamos a hablarles del flúor, ese elemento químico amarillo que siendo muy corrosivo, tóxico y altamente reactivo, es capaz de combinarse químicamente con casi todo, nos lo metemos en la boca por “nuestro bien». Los textos que utilizaré provienen del libro “Dossier Flúor” del dr Jean-Marc Brunet y de “The fluoride deception” de Christopher Bryson más algunas adaptaciones libres y artículos escritos por mi en el pasado ya que conocía de los peligros del flúor desde hace más de 20 años. Decirles que mi hija que tiene 18 años jamás ha utilizado pasta de dientes con flúor y tiene una excelente salud dental. El flúor constituye el núcleo elemental de algunas de las mayores fortunas que el mundo ha visto jamás, la riqueza casi inimaginable de los Mellons de Pittsburgh y los Du Ponts de Delaware. Y no es de extrañar que la advertencia en el tubo de pasta de dientes sea tan dramática. La misma potente sustancia química que se utiliza para enriquecer uranio para armas nucleares, para preparar el gas nervioso Sarín y para arrancar acero y aluminio fundidos del mineral de la tierra es la que damos a nuestros hijos a primera hora de la mañana y a última de la noche, con sabor a menta, fresa o chicle. El flúor es una sustancia química tan poderosa que se ha convertido en la savia de la industria moderna, bombeada a toda máquina cada día a través de innumerables fábricas, refinerías y molinos. El fluoruro se utiliza para producir gasolina de alto octanaje; para fundir metales clave como el aluminio, el acero y el berilio; para enriquecer uranio; para fabricar placas de circuitos informáticos, pesticidas, cera para esquís, gases refrigerantes, plástico de teflón, sartenes, alfombras, ropa impermeable, vidrio grabado, ladrillos y cerámica, y numerosos medicamentos, como Prozac y Cipro. “Crea el problema y luego vendeles la solución» frase que bien podría haber dicho Bernays, el mas famoso creador de opinión del siglo XX que también contribuyo a promocionar el flúor. En el libro de Chrystopher Bryson “El engaño del Flúor” nos muestra correspondencia entre el publicitario y el NIDR (Instituto nacional de investigación dental) para que este hiciera campaña a favor de la fluoración. ¿Conocen ese lema que dice “los expertos recomiendan”? Pues es de Bernays. Pero eso ya fue en los 60 y todo esto empezó tras la gran depresión del 1929, cuando las grandes multinacionales no sabían que hacer con sus productos por la gran caída de la demanda. Entre ellos el azúcar. Gerald Judy Cox, químico que participó en la causa de la caries y su “solución». El sr Cox, desarrollo las patentes para transformar la caña de azúcar y el azúcar común sin refinar (que terminaba pudriéndose) en algunos de los productos azucarados que conocemos hoy día. Por si no lo sabían son los ácidos que quedan encima de los dientes tras la transformación del azúcar por las bacterias lo que provoca la caries. Pues este señor que ayudó a que el azúcar terminase empleándose de forma masiva en todo tipo de productos, chicles incluidos, terminó siendo uno de los mayores defensores del uso del flúor para evitar dicha caries, ¿curioso no? Pero veamos dónde empezó todo. Durante la gran depresión, algunas empresas, sobre todo la Aluminum Company of America ALCOA, se enfrentaban a un espinoso problema. Uno de los compuestos naturales del aluminio es la criolita. La criolita es una roca que contiene aluminio, flúor y sodio. Su fórmula química es: Na3AlF6 Por tanto, la criolita contiene tres átomos de sodio, uno de aluminio y seis de flúor en su molécula. Cuando queremos aislar el aluminio, obtenemos como residuo una sal, el fluoruro de sodio. Se trata de una sustancia altamente tóxica que no se encuentra en la naturaleza en su estado puro sino en combinaciones menos peligrosas. El fluoruro de sodio es, por tanto, una sustancia química artificial. Al ser tan tóxico, su comercio esta limitado. Se utiliza en la fabricación de veneno para ratas, como agente blanqueador, como coagulante del caucho, como fijador de tintes, etc. Estos usos del fluoruro de sodio eran ampliamente insuficientes. Se acumulaban enormes reservas de este veneno, sobre todo porque las autoridades gubernamentales impedían a las empresas verterlo en los ríos porque los peces tienen la mala costumbre de morirse después. Como no vendían suficiente y no podían deshacerse de él fácilmente, tuvieron que buscar otra salida para el fluoruro de sodio. Como es habitual en la industria, el problema se remitió a una organización especializada en encontrar soluciones. El Instituto Mellon de Pittsburgh recibió el encargo de encontrar una solución al problema del fluoruro de sodio. El Instituto Mellon, fundado en 1911 por Andrew y Richard Mellon, es un laboratorio de ciencia aplicada abierto a todos los empresarios estadounidenses. Cuando un industrial o fabricante tiene un problema, acude al Instituto y contrata a un científico durante un año. El trabajo del científico consistía en mejorar el producto o encontrarle un nuevo mercado. El Instituto Mellon está actualmente siendo demandado por su defensa acérrima del amianto. El bioquímico Gerald J. Cox del que hablamos antes recibió el encargo de estudiar la delicada cuestión del fluoruro de sodio. Los peligros de esta sustancia química se conocían desde hacía tiempo. Ya en 1920, dos organismos gubernamentales, la Oficina de Minas y el Departamento de Agricultura, expresaban su preocupación por la contaminación por fluoruro. Mientras tanto, sin embargo, el Servicio de Salud Pública de EE.UU. permanecía en silencio. Hacia la década de 1930, el Servicio de Salud Pública pasó a depender del Departamento del Tesoro. De 1921 a 1933, el Secretario de este Departamento no fue otro que el Sr. Andrew W. Mellon, cofundador del Instituto Mellon, acaudalado financiero de Pittsburgh y miembro de una de las familias más ricas y poderosas de Estados Unidos. La familia Mellon posee y controla, entre otros, el Mellon National Bank, Gulf Oil, Koppers Corp. y la Aluminum Company of America. Antes de ocupar el cargo de Secretario del Tesoro, Andrew Mellon fue Presidente de la Aluminum Company. Fue uno de los más feroces opositores a la campaña contra la contaminación por flúor, ya que la Aluminum Co. era la principal contaminadora en este ámbito. En 1931, dos químicos de la Aluminum Co. descubrieron la causa de las horribles manchas marrones que casi todos los habitantes de Bauxite, Arkansas, tenían en los dientes. El agente responsable era el flúor, presente de forma natural en el agua de la ciudad dada la presencia de una industria minera del mineral del aluminio, la bauxita, que termino dando el nombre al pueblo. El Servicio de Salud Pública también se interesó por la fluorosis dental. En 1933, un miembro del personal, el dentista H. Trendley Dean, fue enviado a estudiar los distintos lugares del país donde la población presentaba este tipo de manchas en los dientes. El objetivo era averiguar qué proporción de flúor era necesaria para provocar tales trastornos. El Sr. Dean descubrió que incluso concentraciones mínimas provocaban las manchas en determinados individuos. Llegó a la conclusión de que con una concentración de una parte por millón, ya el 10-20% de la población presentaba esas manchas. Mientras tanto, el bioquímico Gerald J. Cox, que refinó el azúcar para luego curar las caries que esta provocaba, seguía trabajando para encontrar una solución al problema del flúor. En 1939, publicó su informe de investigación: "...Hay que replantearse la opinión predominante", escribió, "de que el agua debe estar completamente libre de fluoruros...". Sugirió añadir fluoruro sódico al agua potable para prevenir la caries dental. La sugerencia de Cox fue recibida con gran cautela por los funcionarios de salud pública. Incluso el dentista Dean del Servicio de Salud Pública, que dijo haber notado una reducción de la caries dental en lugares donde había mucha fluorosis, expresó sus reservas sobre la teoría de Cox. Todo el mundo era consciente de la falta de pruebas sobre los beneficios de los fluoruros en la dentición humana. Por otro lado, estaba claro que los fluoruros eran venenos extremadamente peligrosos como demostró el médico y científico danés Kaj Roholm en 1937. Y aqui entra el primer presidente de la Sociedad de Toxicología, el Dr Harold Hodge, elegido para encabezar la División de Farmacología y Toxicología de la Comisión de Energía Atómica de los Estados Unidos (AEC) y firme defensor de la fluoración del agua. Pocos saben que el Dr. Hodge, el principal investigador de flúor del país que formó a una generación de decanos de facultades de odontología en los años cincuenta y sesenta, fue el toxicólogo jefe en tiempos de guerra del Proyecto Manhattan. Allí ayudó a coreografiar los tristemente célebres experimentos de radiación en humanos, en los que se inyectaba plutonio y uranio a pacientes hospitalizados -sin su conocimiento o consentimiento- para estudiar la toxicidad de esas sustancias químicas en humanos. Hodge también se encargó de estudiar la toxicidad del flúor. La construcción de la primera bomba atómica del mundo había requerido cantidades ingentes de fluoruro. Así que, por ejemplo, en nombre de los fabricantes de bombas, supervisó de forma encubierta uno de los primeros experimentos de fluoración del agua pública del país. Mientras se decía a los ciudadanos de Newburgh, Nueva York, que el flúor reduciría las caries en sus hijos, en secreto se tomaban muestras de sangre y tejidos de los residentes que eran enviadas a su laboratorio atómico para su estudio. La Universidad de los estudios clasificados de fluoruro de Rochester – cuyo nombre en código es Programa F – se llevaron a cabo en el Proyecto de Energía Atómica (AEP), una instalación de alto secreto financiado por la AEC (La Comisión de Energía Atómica de los Estados Unidos) y alojados en el Strong Memorial Hospital. Se produjo allí uno de los experimentos de radiación más notorios en humanos durante la Guerra Fría, en el que los pacientes hospitalarios confiados fueron inyectados con dosis tóxicas de plutonio radiactivo. La revelación de este experimento por cuenta de la periodista Welsome Eileenen la convirtió en ganadora del premio Pulitzer tras escribir “Los archivos del plutonio: Los experimentos médicos secretos de Estados Unidos en la Guerra Fría”. Llevó a una investigación presidencial de los EE.UU en 1995, y un pago en efectivo de varios millones de dólares para las víctimas. El Programa F no trataba de mejorar la salud de los dientes de los niños. Surgió directamente de litigios contra el programa de la bomba y su principal objetivo era proporcionar munición científica que el gobierno y sus contratistas nucleares podrían utilizar para derrotar a las demandas por lesiones personales. El protocolo para las inyecciones de plutonio, que fue escrito por Wright Langham y no se hizo público hasta 1995, reveló que el experimento fue el resultado de la reunión de Rochester, así como de "numerosas conversaciones con el Coronel Warren, el Coronel Friedell y el Dr. LH". Hempelmann. Curiosamente el dr Hempelmann se casó con Elinor Pulitzer la nieta del editor de periódicos Joseph Pulitzer cuyo nombre llevan los “prestigiosos” entre comillas premios periodísticos. A cada paciente se le asignaron las iniciales "HP" seguidas de un número. Según un documento, "HP" significaba Human product "producto humano". Los médicos buscaban pacientes que tuvieran un metabolismo relativamente normal. Según el plan provisional, el grupo decidió que a cada paciente se le inyectaría un promedio de cinco microgramos, o cinco millonésimas de gramo de plutonio. Aunque la dosis prevista era cinco microgramos, la cantidad real de plutonio inyectada a los pacientes varió de 4,6 a 6,5 microgramos. La dosis de radiación acumulada recibida por cada paciente dependía de dos factores: la cantidad de material radiactivo inyectado en el cuerpo y cuánto tiempo vivían los sujetos. Cuanto más vivían los pacientes, mayor era su dosis acumulada. Antes de que comenzaran las inyecciones en humanos, a tres ratas se les inyectó en las venas de la cola la misma solución de plutonio que Langham y Bassett planeaban administrar a los pacientes. Sólo un pequeño porcentaje del plutonio fue a parar a los hígados de los roedores, lo que hizo que los dos científicos tuvieran más confianza en que el plutonio inyectado en los seres humanos "no sería absorbido en alta concentración por un solo órgano como el hígado", escribió Bassett. Wright Langham y Samuel Bassett se guardaron sus temores sobre posibles daños hepáticos y otras consecuencias para la salud a largo plazo y, finalmente, los pacientes fueron dados de alta del hospital sin que nunca les hubieran dicho lo que les habían hecho. Durante el resto de sus vidas, los inyectados llevaban dentro de sus cuerpos el plutonio que habían recibido en la sala metabólica de Samuel Bassett. Algunas veces se ‘inventaban’ operaciones para biopsiar órganos internos de pacientes ‘supuestamente’ enfermos y controlar su depósito en los tejidos. La energia nuclear estuvo bien vista en aquel tiempo y por desgracia ahora tenemos otro renacimiento de su popularidad. En esa época se realizaban radiografías con fluoroscopios en las zapaterías especializadas en bebés y niños con desastrosos resultados a largo plazo. Era normal retirar la estática de los discos de vinilo con un cepillo que contenía polonio 210 o llevar un reloj de muñeca con pintura de radio. Todo el mundo apoyaba la radiación y sus oscuros secretos siguen hoy dia a buen recaudo, pero prosigamos. Algunas de las empresas mas importantes USA se involucraron en la carrera para producir la bomba atómica…Stone & Webster Engineering Corporation, Du Pont, Clinton Engineering Works, Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Company, National Carbon Company, Speer Carbon Company, Chrysler, Eastman Kodak, Allis-Chalmers, General Electric, General Motors, Kellogg…lo que se conoció como Proyecto Manhattan. Curiosamente si buscan Proyecto Manhattan en la wikipedia observarán que ni uno solo de los nombres de empresas que citan autores como Manuel Sánchez Ron aparecen allí, ¿raro, verdad? Entre ellas estaba una fábrica química de la compañía Du Pont, la Nemours Company en Deepwater, Nueva Jersey…se dedicó a producir millones de libras de fluoruro para el proyecto Manhattan. La conexión entre la fluoración del agua que defendía el Dr. Hodge y la industria nuclear es clara. A la industria nuclear, al igual que a la del aluminio y a la de los fertilizantes le sobraban cientos de miles de toneladas de flúor y meterlo en la boca de los contribuyentes era una buena forma de deshacerse de dicho residuo. Dejaremos en la descripción del podcast un documental muy aclarador titulado “El Engaño Del Flúor”. En el Estado de Wisconsin, dos dentistas, Frank Bull y John Frisch, se organizaron para poner en marcha el siniestro movimiento de la fluoración. En aquel momento, el trust del aluminio pertenecía en secreto a la Casa Rockefeller; 25 años antes había pertenecido a Andrew Mellon de Pittsburgh; a su muerte, la Casa Rockefeller se apoderó discretamente de él, negando oficialmente cualquier relación con Alcoa a través de su agente de prensa; Sin embargo, el Manual de Industriales y el informe anual del Consejo de Relaciones Exteriores de Rockefeller informaban de que el yerno de Andrew Mellon, miembro de la Casa Rockefeller, era el propietario, junto con su esposa, de la empresa Alcoa. La Casa Rockefeller, posee con su esposa la mayor parte de los fondos de la Compañía de Aluminio. Para aumentar el control de Rockefeller en las reuniones del consejo de Alcoa, Donald K. David, testaferro del Instituto Rockefeller, fue nombrado uno de los directores. Los ingenieros de ventas de Rockefeller pronto descubrieron que si el fluoruro de sodio se podía vender por sólo 1,5 centavos de dólar la libra, se obtendrían unos beneficios de 15 millones de dólares al año. El anuncio de Cox fue acogido con entusiasmo. Los peces gordos del Rockefeller Center se pusieron inmediatamente manos a la obra para preparar una gran campaña de fluoración del agua potable de 16.750 municipios estadounidenses. La operación se puso en marcha hacia 1945. Justamente los técnicos de Alcoa trabajaron mano a mano con químicos del Instituto Mellon y otras multinacionales (Dow Chemical Company, Colgate, Kellog, DuPont) hasta conseguir lo que hoy día se conoce como “la mafia del flúor” (Stephen 1995). En 1944, Oscar Ewing se convirtió repentinamente en uno de los principales empleados de Alcoa. Unos meses más tarde, el Sr. Ewing fue nombrado administrador de la Agencia Federal de Seguridad, actual Departamento de Salud de los Estados Unidos. Ewing recibió 750.000 dólares por un motivo que nunca se reveló, incluso después de que el congresista Al. Miller, de Nebraska, reuniera los datos sobre la donación y presentará su informe al Congreso. El Servicio de Salud Pública de EE.UU., que había sido puesto bajo la jurisdicción de la Agencia Federal de Seguridad de Ewing por el Congreso, lanzó una campaña de promoción masiva en todo Estados Unidos. Bajo la administración de Ewing, se votaron presupuestos enormes, se dieron millones de dólares a colegas médicos y dentistas y, en 1951, pidió y obtuvo dos millones de dólares para promover la idea de la purificación del agua potable. Una de las primeras medidas adoptadas fue establecer una prueba en dos ciudades piloto, Newburgh y Kingston. El agua de Newburgh estaba fluorada, la de Kingston no. El Cuerpo Comisionado del Servicio de Salud Pública de Estados anunció que en 5 años examinarán los dientes de los escolares de las dos ciudades y que la fluoración habría reducido la caries en un 50%. Dado que se transporta en la sangre, el flúor debe encontrarse en todas las partes del cuerpo. Al igual que los huesos, los dientes contienen derivados del flúor. El esmalte dental está compuesto por un 3% de dentina y un 97% de una combinación salina muy íntima de fosfato cálcico, carbonato y flúor. En total, un hombre de 70 kg. contiene de 95 a 100 g. de fluoruro combinado, suministrado y repuesto por la dieta en una forma salina compleja que, en casos normales, garantiza su fijación y ausencia de efectos nocivos. Parte de la ingesta diaria se fija para construir y renovar los huesos y los dientes; la otra parte circula y se elimina en las heces y la orina. Debo mencionar de pasada que las industrias médica y conservera de alimentos utilizan desde hace tiempo fluoruros alcalinos y alcalinotérreos. Ambas saben perfectamente que son a la vez antisépticos potentes y tóxicos algo parecido a lo que pasa con el Bisfenol A de las botellas. Es increíble como habiendo más de 1300 artículos científicos sobre la alta toxicidad de los fluoruros todavía se permita su comercialización sin apenas controles y que se hable de las ventajas de añadirlo al agua y a todo tipo de cosas. Parece que no hemos aprendido nada de la historia de otras sustancias de las que también nos dijo la ciencia que eran seguras como el plomo en la gasolina, el amianto, el DDT, etc Poderoso caballero es don dinero y en este caso la población en general no ha sido advertida de los peligros del flúor ya que las supuestas ONGs y los grupos ecologistas están patrocinados por los mismos fabricantes de este veneno. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ACCIDENTES Y ENVENENAMIENTOS POR FLUORURO El fluoruro, el ingrediente activo de muchos pesticidas y rodenticidas, es un veneno poderoso, más venenoso que el plomo . Debido a esto, la ingestión excesiva accidental de fluoruro puede causar síntomas tóxicos graves. Cada año hay miles de informes a los centros de control de intoxicaciones en los Estados Unidos relacionados con la ingestión excesiva de pastas dentales, enjuagues bucales y suplementos con flúor. Los accidentes de fluoración del agua , que provocan niveles excesivos de fluoruro en el agua, han sido una de las fuentes de intoxicación aguda por fluoruro . FLUORURO Y FLUOROSIS DENTAL La ingestión excesiva de flúor durante los primeros años de la infancia puede dañar las células formadoras de los dientes, provocando un defecto en el esmalte conocido como fluorosis dental . Los dientes afectados por fluorosis tienen una decoloración visible, que va desde manchas blancas hasta manchas marrones y negras . Según los Centros para el Control de Enfermedades , el 32% de los niños estadounidenses tienen actualmente algún tipo de fluorosis dental, y entre el 2 y el 4% de los niños padecen las etapas de moderada a grave (CDC 2005). Según el Dr. Hardy Limeback , Jefe de Odontología Preventiva de la Universidad de Toronto, "es ilógico suponer que el esmalte dental es el único tejido afectado por la ingestión de bajas dosis diarias de flúor. FLUORURO Y ALERGIA/HIPERSENSIBILIDAD Como lo reconoce Physicians' Desk Reference , algunas personas son alérgicas o hipersensibles al fluoruro. El ensayo clínico más grande, financiado por el gobierno, encontró que el 1% de las personas expuestas a 1 mg/día de fluoruro presentaban reacciones alérgicas/hipersensibles, incluidas reacciones cutáneas, malestar gástrico y dolor de cabeza FLUORURO Y LOS RIÑONES Los riñones desempeñan un papel vital en la prevención de la acumulación excesiva de fluoruro en el cuerpo. Entre las personas sanas, los riñones excretan aproximadamente el 50% de la ingesta diaria de fluoruro. Sin embargo, entre las personas con enfermedad renal, la capacidad de los riñones para excretar se ve notablemente afectada, lo que resulta en una acumulación de fluoruro en el cuerpo . Es bien sabido que las personas con enfermedad renal tienen una mayor susceptibilidad a los efectos tóxicos acumulativos del fluoruro. De particular preocupación es la posibilidad de que el fluoruro, cuando se acumula en el sistema esquelético, cause o exacerbe la osteodistrofia renal , una enfermedad ósea que se encuentra comúnmente entre personas con enfermedad renal avanzada. Además, se ha demostrado definitivamente que el fluoruro envenena la función renal en dosis altas durante exposiciones a corto plazo tanto en animales como en humanos. El impacto de dosis bajas de fluoruro, administradas durante largos períodos de tiempo, no se ha estudiado adecuadamente. Un estudio reciente en animales, realizado por científicos de la Agencia de Protección Ambiental de EE.UU. (Varner 1998), informó que la exposición a sólo 1 ppm de fluoruro causaba daño renal en ratas si bebían agua durante un período prolongado, mientras que un nuevo estudio realizado en China encontró una mayor tasa de enfermedad renal entre los seres humanos que consumían más de 2 ppm (Liu 2005). Por lo tanto, los efectos adversos para la función renal que causa el fluoruro en dosis altas durante períodos cortos de tiempo también pueden replicarse con dosis pequeñas si se consume durante períodos prolongados. FLUORURO Y EL CEREBRO La capacidad del fluoruro para dañar el cerebro representa una de las áreas de investigación más activas sobre la toxicidad del fluoruro en la actualidad. La preocupación por el impacto del fluoruro en el cerebro ha sido alimentada por 18 estudios en humanos (de China, México, India e Irán) que informaron déficits de coeficiente intelectual entre niños expuestos a un exceso de fluoruro, por 4 estudios en humanos que indican que el fluoruro puede entrar y dañar el feto cerebro; y por un número creciente de estudios en animales que encuentran daños al tejido cerebral (a niveles tan bajos como 1 ppm) y deterioro del aprendizaje y la memoria entre los grupos tratados con fluoruro. Según el Consejo Nacional de Investigación de EE.UU. , "es evidente que los fluoruros tienen la capacidad de interferir con las funciones del cerebro”. Los hallazgos de efectos neurológicos en humanos expuestos al flúor son coherentes con los resultados recientes de más de 40 estudios en animales publicados desde 1992, y se ven reforzados por ellos. Al igual que los estudios en humanos, los estudios en animales han informado de un deterioro en los procesos de aprendizaje y memoria entre los grupos tratados con flúor. 6) Los estudios en animales también han documentado pruebas considerables de los efectos tóxicos directos del flúor en el tejido cerebral, incluso a niveles tan bajos como 1 ppm de flúor en el agua (Varner 1998). Estos efectos incluyen: -- reducción de los receptores nicotínicos de acetilcolina; -- reducción del contenido lipídico; -- deterioro de los sistemas de defensa antioxidante; -- daños en el hipocampo; -- daños en las células purkinje; -- aumento de la captación de aluminio; -- formación de placas beta-amiloides (la clásica anomalía cerebral de la enfermedad de Alzheimer); -- Exacerbación de las lesiones inducidas por la deficiencia de yodo. -- acumulación de flúor en la glándula pineal. FLUORURO Y LA GLÁNDULA PINEAL En la década de 1990, se descubrió que la glándula pineal es un sitio importante de acumulación de fluoruro dentro del cuerpo , con concentraciones de fluoruro más altas que los dientes o los huesos. Estudios posteriores en animales indican que la acumulación de fluoruro en la glándula pineal puede reducir la síntesis de melatonina en la glándula , una hormona que ayuda a regular el inicio de la pubertad. Se descubrió que los animales tratados con fluoruro tenían niveles reducidos de melatonina circulante y un inicio más temprano de la pubertad que los animales no tratados. El científico que realizó la investigación concluyó: "La seguridad del uso de fluoruros se basa en última instancia en la suposición de que el órgano del esmalte en desarrollo es más sensible a los efectos tóxicos del fluoruro. Los resultados de este estudio sugieren que los pinealocitos pueden ser tan susceptibles al fluoruro como el órgano del esmalte en desarrollo" ( Lucas 1997). El hecho de que el impacto del fluoruro en la glándula pineal nunca haya sido estudiado, ni siquiera considerado , antes de la década de 1990, pone de relieve una importante laguna en el conocimiento que sustenta las políticas actuales sobre el fluoruro y la salud. Según el Consejo Nacional de Investigación de EE. UU ., "cualquier agente que afecte la función pineal podría afectar la salud humana de diversas maneras, incluidos efectos sobre la maduración sexual, el metabolismo del calcio, la función paratiroidea, la osteoporosis posmenopáusica, el cáncer y las enfermedades psiquiátricas”. FLUORURO Y LA GLÁNDULA TIROIDES Según el Consejo Nacional de Investigación de EE. UU ., "varias líneas de información indican un efecto de la exposición al fluoruro sobre la función tiroidea", particularmente entre personas con deficiencia de yodo. El potencial del fluoruro para alterar la función tiroidea se ilustra más claramente por el hecho de que, hasta la década de 1970, los médicos europeos utilizaban el fluoruro como medicamento supresor de la tiroides en pacientes con hipertiroidismo (tiroides hiperactiva). Se utilizó fluoruro porque se encontró que era eficaz para reducir la actividad de la glándula tiroides , incluso en dosis tan bajas como 2 mg/día. Hoy en día, muchas personas que viven en comunidades fluoradas están ingiriendo dosis de fluoruro (1,6 a 6,6 mg/día) que se encuentran dentro del rango de dosis (2 a 10 mg/día) que alguna vez utilizaron los médicos para reducir la actividad tiroidea en pacientes con hipertiroidismo. Esto es particularmente preocupante considerando el problema generalizado del hipotiroidismo (tiroides poco activa) en los Estados Unidos. Los síntomas del hipotiroidismo incluyen obesidad, letargo, depresión y enfermedades cardíacas. FLUORURO Y ENFERMEDADES ÓSEAS Es bien sabido que la exposición excesiva al fluoruro causa una enfermedad ósea llamada fluorosis esquelética . La fluorosis esquelética, especialmente en sus primeras etapas , es una enfermedad difícil de diagnosticar y puede confundirse fácilmente con diversas formas de artritis , incluidas la osteoartritis y la artritis reumatoide . En sus etapas avanzadas, la fluorosis puede parecerse a una multitud de enfermedades de huesos y articulaciones. En personas con enfermedad renal, la exposición al fluoruro puede contribuir y/o exacerbar la osteodistrofia renal . FLUORURO Y FRACTURA ÓSEA La mayoría de los estudios en animales que investigan el efecto del fluoruro sobre la resistencia ósea han encontrado que el fluoruro no tiene ningún efecto o tiene un efecto negativo sobre la resistencia . Según el Consejo Nacional de Investigación de EE. UU. , "El peso de la evidencia indica que, aunque el fluoruro podría aumentar el volumen óseo, hay menos resistencia por unidad de volumen". Los estudios en poblaciones humanas que consumen fluoruro en el agua potable han encontrado una asociación entre la fluorosis dental y un aumento de las fracturas óseas en los niños ; y entre el consumo prolongado de agua fluorada y el aumento de fracturas de cadera en los ancianos. Ensayos clínicos en humanos cuidadosamente realizados , incluidos dos "ensayos doble ciego", han descubierto que el fluoruro (en dosis de 18 a 34 mg/día durante sólo 1 a 4 años) aumenta la tasa de fracturas óseas, particularmente de cadera, entre pacientes con osteoporosis. . FLUORURO Y CÁNCER Según el Programa Nacional de Toxicología, "la preponderancia de la evidencia" de estudios de laboratorio 'in vitro' indica que el fluoruro es un compuesto mutagénico . Muchas sustancias que causan daños mutagénicos también causan cáncer. Si bien las concentraciones de fluoruro que causan daño mutagénico en estudios de laboratorio son más altas que las concentraciones encontradas en la sangre humana, existen ciertos "microambientes" en el cuerpo (por ejemplo, los huesos y la vejiga ) donde las concentraciones de fluoruro pueden acumularse a niveles comparables a, o en exceso de aquellos que causan efectos mutagénicos en el laboratorio. Se ha descubierto que el fluoruro causa cáncer de huesos (osteosarcoma) en estudios gubernamentales con animales y se ha descubierto que las tasas de osteosarcoma entre los hombres jóvenes que viven en áreas fluoradas son más altas que las de los hombres jóvenes que viven en áreas no fluoradas. El osteosarcoma, aunque poco común, es un cáncer muy grave. Los niños que desarrollan osteosarcoma enfrentan una alta probabilidad de muerte (generalmente dentro de los 3 años) o amputación. La exposición al fluoruro también se ha relacionado con el cáncer de vejiga , particularmente entre los trabajadores expuestos al exceso de fluoruro en el lugar de trabajo. Según el Consejo Nacional de Investigación de EE. UU., "se deben realizar más investigaciones sobre el posible efecto del fluoruro en el riesgo de cáncer de vejiga”. FLUORURO Y EL TRACTO GASTROINTESTINAL Entre personas hipersensibles al flúor , se han producido dolencias gastrointestinales tras la ingestión de comprimidos de 1 mg de flúor o el consumo de 1 ppm de agua fluorada. En ensayos clínicos cuidadosamente controlados , se ha descubierto que una sola ingestión de tan solo 3 mg de fluoruro produce daños en la mucosa gástrica en voluntarios adultos sanos. Nunca se ha realizado ninguna investigación en la mucosa gástrica para determinar el efecto de dosis más bajas con exposición repetida. FLUORURO Y CARIES (Caries) Según el consenso actual de la comunidad de investigación dental, el beneficio principal, si no el único, del fluoruro para los dientes proviene de la aplicación TÓPICA en la superficie exterior de los dientes, no de la ingestión . Por lo tanto, tal vez no sea sorprendente que las tasas de caries hayan disminuido a tasas similares en todos los países occidentales en la segunda mitad del siglo XX, independientemente de si el país fluora o no su agua . Hoy en día, las tasas de caries en toda Europa occidental continental son tan bajas como las tasas de caries en los Estados Unidos, a pesar de una profunda disparidad en la prevalencia de la fluoración del agua en las dos regiones. En los países que fluoran el agua, estudios recientes a gran escala sobre salud dental (utilizando métodos científicos modernos no utilizados en los primeros estudios de los años 1930 y 1950) han encontrado pocas diferencias en la caries , incluida la "caries del biberón" , entre las aguas fluoradas. y comunidades no fluoradas. ………………………………………………………………………………………. Conozcamos algunos datos del proyecto Manhattan. El Proyecto Manhattan fue un proyecto de investigación y desarrollo llevado a cabo durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial entre los años 1942 y 1946 que produjo las primeras armas nucleares, liderado por los Estados Unidos con el apoyo del Reino Unido y de Canadá. El Proyecto Manhattan comenzó de forma modesta, creciendo progresivamente hasta tener más de 130 000 empleados y alcanzar un coste de casi 2000 millones de dólares de la época, unos 70.000 millones en la actualidad. Más del 90 % del presupuesto se destinó a la construcción de fábricas y a la producción de materiales fisibles, con menos del 10 % destinado al desarrollo y producción de armas. La investigación y producción tuvieron lugar en más de 30 lugares por todos los Estados Unidos, Reino Unido y Canadá. En junio de 1944 el Proyecto Manhattan tenía alrededor de 129 000 trabajadores empleados, de los que 84500 eran trabajadores de la construcción, 40500 eran operadores de planta y 1800 eran personal militar. Como al final diseñaron una bomba con U-235, el material que se utiliza en los reactores comerciales y que solo es el 0,7% de todo el uranio se tuvo que separar dicho uranio de los otros radioisótopos que no eran necesarios como el el U-238 que es al que se le denomina uranio empobrecido. De cada gramo de uranio natural el 99,284 % de la masa es uranio-238, el 0,711 % uranio-235,2 y el 0,0085 % uranio-234. Separar el U-235 del U-238 fue una tarea titánica en aquella época y se utilizaron tres métodos principales ya que la centrifugación supuso un gran desafío técnico por la complejidad de los rodamientos y ejes necesarios para separar los radioisótopos de uranio. El proceso requería altas velocidades de rotación, pero a su paso por determinadas velocidades se creaban vibraciones armónicas que podían romper la maquinaria. Por ello, era necesario obtener una rápida aceleración para superar estas velocidades. producir un kilo de uranio-235 por día precisaría de hasta 50000 centrifugados con rotores de 1 metro, o 10000 centrifugados con rotores de 4 metros, asumiendo que fuera posible construir estos últimos. Por eso se recurrió al uso de calutrones, la termoforesis y la difusión gaseosa. Los calderones son una especie de imanes gigantes que separaban los dos tipos de radioisótopos calentando el uranio e ionizándolo para luego recogerlo por electromagnetismo en dos zonas diferenciadas. Debido a la escasez de cobre durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, los electroimanes fueron hechos con miles de toneladas de plata prestadas por el Departamento del Tesoro de los Estados Unidos. La termoforesis (también denominada termomigración, termodifusión, efecto Soret, o efecto Ludwig-Soret) es un fenómeno observado en mezclas de partículas móviles, cuando diferentes tipos de partículas exhiben distintas respuestas ante la presencia de un gradiente térmico. Esta técnica no es practica para trabajar a gran escala y apenas fue empleada pasando a realizarse la separación de isótopos de uranio por difusión gaseosa o lo que es lo mismo mediante el uso de centrifugadoras. La difusión gaseosa fue una de las varias tecnologías para la separación de isótopos de uranio desarrolladas por parte del Proyecto Manhattan para producir uranio enriquecido forzando que el hexafluoruro de uranio (único compuesto del uranio gaseoso) atraviese membranas semi-permeables. Esto produce una ligerísima separación entre las moléculas que contienen uranio-235 y uranio-238. Mediante el uso de una gran cascada de muchos pasos, se pueden conseguir grandes separaciones. Los edificios de proceso construidos para albergar estas máquinas en cascada fueron en su momento los más grandes jamás construidos, hablamos de 600 etapas en una larga estructura en forma de U de 800 metros de longitud, que contenía 54 edificios contiguos. La preparación de la materia a tratar, el hexafluoruro de uranio (conocido en el mercado como hex ) fue la primera aplicación para el fluoruro producida comercialmente, y los problemas generados por el manejo tanto del fluoruro como del hex como gases corrosivos fueron significativos. El proyecto Manhattan se llama así porque la oficina que escogió el jefe de ingenieros militar se ubico en el 18.º del 270 Broadway en Nueva York. Además estaba cerca de la oficina en Manhattan de Stone & Webster, el principal contratista del proyecto…así que se quedó con ese nombre. El mando militar corrió a cargo del general Groves y el mando científico ya saben de J. Robert Oppenheimer, apodado el padre de la bomba. En 1944 se adquirió 560 000 kg de mineral de óxido de uranio a compañías que explotaban minas en el Congo Belga. Para poder evitar informar al Secretario del Tesoro estadounidense Henry Morgenthau Jr. sobre el proyecto, utilizaron una cuenta bancaria especial no sujeta a las habituales auditorías y controles por los que tenían que pasar este tipo de fondos. Entre 1944 y el momento en el que dimitió del Fondo en 1947, Groves depositó un total de 37,5 millones de dólares en la cuenta del Fondo. La minería de uranio en Colorado producía alrededor de unas 700 toneladas de uranio al año. Realmente utilizaron los tres procesos encadenados, primero producían uranio enriquecido del 0,71 % hasta el 0,89 % en la planta S-50 de termoforesis que pasó a ser la primera etapa. Este material se usaba en el proceso de difusión gaseosa en la planta K-25, produciendo un producto enriquecido hasta un 23 % que a su vez alimentaba a la planta Y-12 con los calutrones, llegando allí hasta al 89 %, lo suficiente para las armas nucleares. Decir que la planta con los calutrones estuvo en un principio siendo operada por científicos de Berkeley para eliminar fallos y conseguir un índice operacional razonable. Pero fueron finalmente sustituidos por operadoras formadas por Tennessee Eastman (la Kodak) que solo habían recibido una educación secundaria. Cuando compararon los datos vieron que las lugareñas producían mucho mas uranio que los doctorados. A fecha de julio de 1945 se habían entregado alrededor de unos 50 kg de uranio enriquecido hasta un 89 % de uranio-235 en Los Álamos. Estos 50 kg al completo, junto con uranio adicional enriquecido al 50 %, dio un promedio resultante de uranio enriquecido al 85 %, que fueron utilizados en la bomba Little Boy. O sea unos 100kg de U235 al 85%. El uranio natural se compone principalmente de uranio-238 (U-238), que no es fisible, y uranio-235 (U-235), que es fisible. Para producir 100 kg de U-235 enriquecido al 85%, primero debemos determinar la cantidad de uranio natural requerida y luego calcular la cantidad de UF6 necesaria para alcanzar ese enriquecimiento. La relación entre el peso atómico del U-235 y el U-238 es aproximadamente 0.72. Por lo tanto, necesitamos 14.285 kg de uranio normal para obtener 100 kg de uranio enriquecido al 100% y 12.142 kg para que este solo al 85%. En 12 gramos de uranio normal hay 3*10²³ átomos y en todos esos kilos hay una cifra enorme aproximada de 3 x 10^25 átomos de uranio. El UF6 se utiliza para enriquecer uranio, y en el proceso, se convierte todo el uranio (tanto el U-235 como el U-238) en UF6. Por lo tanto, necesitamos 6 átomos de flúor por uno de uranio, o sea 18 x 10^25 átomos de flúor. Lo que equivale a unas 50 toneladas de flúor de las que nunca mas se supo. ………………………………………………………………………………………. Invitados: …. Dra Yane #JusticiaParaUTP Médico y Buscadora de la verdad.

Bienvenidos a un nuevo directo en Telegram. Hoy vamos a hablarles del flúor, ese elemento químico amarillo que siendo muy corrosivo, tóxico y altamente reactivo, es capaz de combinarse químicamente con casi todo, nos lo metemos en la boca por “nuestro bien». Los textos que utilizaré provienen del libro “Dossier Flúor” del dr Jean-Marc Brunet y de “The fluoride deception” de Christopher Bryson más algunas adaptaciones libres y artículos escritos por mi en el pasado ya que conocía de los peligros del flúor desde hace más de 20 años. Decirles que mi hija que tiene 18 años jamás ha utilizado pasta de dientes con flúor y tiene una excelente salud dental. El flúor constituye el núcleo elemental de algunas de las mayores fortunas que el mundo ha visto jamás, la riqueza casi inimaginable de los Mellons de Pittsburgh y los Du Ponts de Delaware. Y no es de extrañar que la advertencia en el tubo de pasta de dientes sea tan dramática. La misma potente sustancia química que se utiliza para enriquecer uranio para armas nucleares, para preparar el gas nervioso Sarín y para arrancar acero y aluminio fundidos del mineral de la tierra es la que damos a nuestros hijos a primera hora de la mañana y a última de la noche, con sabor a menta, fresa o chicle. El flúor es una sustancia química tan poderosa que se ha convertido en la savia de la industria moderna, bombeada a toda máquina cada día a través de innumerables fábricas, refinerías y molinos. El fluoruro se utiliza para producir gasolina de alto octanaje; para fundir metales clave como el aluminio, el acero y el berilio; para enriquecer uranio; para fabricar placas de circuitos informáticos, pesticidas, cera para esquís, gases refrigerantes, plástico de teflón, sartenes, alfombras, ropa impermeable, vidrio grabado, ladrillos y cerámica, y numerosos medicamentos, como Prozac y Cipro. “Crea el problema y luego vendeles la solución» frase que bien podría haber dicho Bernays, el mas famoso creador de opinión del siglo XX que también contribuyo a promocionar el flúor. En el libro de Chrystopher Bryson “El engaño del Flúor” nos muestra correspondencia entre el publicitario y el NIDR (Instituto nacional de investigación dental) para que este hiciera campaña a favor de la fluoración. ¿Conocen ese lema que dice “los expertos recomiendan”? Pues es de Bernays. Pero eso ya fue en los 60 y todo esto empezó tras la gran depresión del 1929, cuando las grandes multinacionales no sabían que hacer con sus productos por la gran caída de la demanda. Entre ellos el azúcar. Gerald Judy Cox, químico que participó en la causa de la caries y su “solución». El sr Cox, desarrollo las patentes para transformar la caña de azúcar y el azúcar común sin refinar (que terminaba pudriéndose) en algunos de los productos azucarados que conocemos hoy día. Por si no lo sabían son los ácidos que quedan encima de los dientes tras la transformación del azúcar por las bacterias lo que provoca la caries. Pues este señor que ayudó a que el azúcar terminase empleándose de forma masiva en todo tipo de productos, chicles incluidos, terminó siendo uno de los mayores defensores del uso del flúor para evitar dicha caries, ¿curioso no? Pero veamos dónde empezó todo. Durante la gran depresión, algunas empresas, sobre todo la Aluminum Company of America ALCOA, se enfrentaban a un espinoso problema. Uno de los compuestos naturales del aluminio es la criolita. La criolita es una roca que contiene aluminio, flúor y sodio. Su fórmula química es: Na3AlF6 Por tanto, la criolita contiene tres átomos de sodio, uno de aluminio y seis de flúor en su molécula. Cuando queremos aislar el aluminio, obtenemos como residuo una sal, el fluoruro de sodio. Se trata de una sustancia altamente tóxica que no se encuentra en la naturaleza en su estado puro sino en combinaciones menos peligrosas. El fluoruro de sodio es, por tanto, una sustancia química artificial. Al ser tan tóxico, su comercio esta limitado. Se utiliza en la fabricación de veneno para ratas, como agente blanqueador, como coagulante del caucho, como fijador de tintes, etc. Estos usos del fluoruro de sodio eran ampliamente insuficientes. Se acumulaban enormes reservas de este veneno, sobre todo porque las autoridades gubernamentales impedían a las empresas verterlo en los ríos porque los peces tienen la mala costumbre de morirse después. Como no vendían suficiente y no podían deshacerse de él fácilmente, tuvieron que buscar otra salida para el fluoruro de sodio. Como es habitual en la industria, el problema se remitió a una organización especializada en encontrar soluciones. El Instituto Mellon de Pittsburgh recibió el encargo de encontrar una solución al problema del fluoruro de sodio. El Instituto Mellon, fundado en 1911 por Andrew y Richard Mellon, es un laboratorio de ciencia aplicada abierto a todos los empresarios estadounidenses. Cuando un industrial o fabricante tiene un problema, acude al Instituto y contrata a un científico durante un año. El trabajo del científico consistía en mejorar el producto o encontrarle un nuevo mercado. El Instituto Mellon está actualmente siendo demandado por su defensa acérrima del amianto. El bioquímico Gerald J. Cox del que hablamos antes recibió el encargo de estudiar la delicada cuestión del fluoruro de sodio. Los peligros de esta sustancia química se conocían desde hacía tiempo. Ya en 1920, dos organismos gubernamentales, la Oficina de Minas y el Departamento de Agricultura, expresaban su preocupación por la contaminación por fluoruro. Mientras tanto, sin embargo, el Servicio de Salud Pública de EE.UU. permanecía en silencio. Hacia la década de 1930, el Servicio de Salud Pública pasó a depender del Departamento del Tesoro. De 1921 a 1933, el Secretario de este Departamento no fue otro que el Sr. Andrew W. Mellon, cofundador del Instituto Mellon, acaudalado financiero de Pittsburgh y miembro de una de las familias más ricas y poderosas de Estados Unidos. La familia Mellon posee y controla, entre otros, el Mellon National Bank, Gulf Oil, Koppers Corp. y la Aluminum Company of America. Antes de ocupar el cargo de Secretario del Tesoro, Andrew Mellon fue Presidente de la Aluminum Company. Fue uno de los más feroces opositores a la campaña contra la contaminación por flúor, ya que la Aluminum Co. era la principal contaminadora en este ámbito. En 1931, dos químicos de la Aluminum Co. descubrieron la causa de las horribles manchas marrones que casi todos los habitantes de Bauxite, Arkansas, tenían en los dientes. El agente responsable era el flúor, presente de forma natural en el agua de la ciudad dada la presencia de una industria minera del mineral del aluminio, la bauxita, que termino dando el nombre al pueblo. El Servicio de Salud Pública también se interesó por la fluorosis dental. En 1933, un miembro del personal, el dentista H. Trendley Dean, fue enviado a estudiar los distintos lugares del país donde la población presentaba este tipo de manchas en los dientes. El objetivo era averiguar qué proporción de flúor era necesaria para provocar tales trastornos. El Sr. Dean descubrió que incluso concentraciones mínimas provocaban las manchas en determinados individuos. Llegó a la conclusión de que con una concentración de una parte por millón, ya el 10-20% de la población presentaba esas manchas. Mientras tanto, el bioquímico Gerald J. Cox, que refinó el azúcar para luego curar las caries que esta provocaba, seguía trabajando para encontrar una solución al problema del flúor. En 1939, publicó su informe de investigación: "...Hay que replantearse la opinión predominante", escribió, "de que el agua debe estar completamente libre de fluoruros...". Sugirió añadir fluoruro sódico al agua potable para prevenir la caries dental. La sugerencia de Cox fue recibida con gran cautela por los funcionarios de salud pública. Incluso el dentista Dean del Servicio de Salud Pública, que dijo haber notado una reducción de la caries dental en lugares donde había mucha fluorosis, expresó sus reservas sobre la teoría de Cox. Todo el mundo era consciente de la falta de pruebas sobre los beneficios de los fluoruros en la dentición humana. Por otro lado, estaba claro que los fluoruros eran venenos extremadamente peligrosos como demostró el médico y científico danés Kaj Roholm en 1937. Y aqui entra el primer presidente de la Sociedad de Toxicología, el Dr Harold Hodge, elegido para encabezar la División de Farmacología y Toxicología de la Comisión de Energía Atómica de los Estados Unidos (AEC) y firme defensor de la fluoración del agua. Pocos saben que el Dr. Hodge, el principal investigador de flúor del país que formó a una generación de decanos de facultades de odontología en los años cincuenta y sesenta, fue el toxicólogo jefe en tiempos de guerra del Proyecto Manhattan. Allí ayudó a coreografiar los tristemente célebres experimentos de radiación en humanos, en los que se inyectaba plutonio y uranio a pacientes hospitalizados -sin su conocimiento o consentimiento- para estudiar la toxicidad de esas sustancias químicas en humanos. Hodge también se encargó de estudiar la toxicidad del flúor. La construcción de la primera bomba atómica del mundo había requerido cantidades ingentes de fluoruro. Así que, por ejemplo, en nombre de los fabricantes de bombas, supervisó de forma encubierta uno de los primeros experimentos de fluoración del agua pública del país. Mientras se decía a los ciudadanos de Newburgh, Nueva York, que el flúor reduciría las caries en sus hijos, en secreto se tomaban muestras de sangre y tejidos de los residentes que eran enviadas a su laboratorio atómico para su estudio. La Universidad de los estudios clasificados de fluoruro de Rochester – cuyo nombre en código es Programa F – se llevaron a cabo en el Proyecto de Energía Atómica (AEP), una instalación de alto secreto financiado por la AEC (La Comisión de Energía Atómica de los Estados Unidos) y alojados en el Strong Memorial Hospital. Se produjo allí uno de los experimentos de radiación más notorios en humanos durante la Guerra Fría, en el que los pacientes hospitalarios confiados fueron inyectados con dosis tóxicas de plutonio radiactivo. La revelación de este experimento por cuenta de la periodista Welsome Eileenen la convirtió en ganadora del premio Pulitzer tras escribir “Los archivos del plutonio: Los experimentos médicos secretos de Estados Unidos en la Guerra Fría”. Llevó a una investigación presidencial de los EE.UU en 1995, y un pago en efectivo de varios millones de dólares para las víctimas. El Programa F no trataba de mejorar la salud de los dientes de los niños. Surgió directamente de litigios contra el programa de la bomba y su principal objetivo era proporcionar munición científica que el gobierno y sus contratistas nucleares podrían utilizar para derrotar a las demandas por lesiones personales. El protocolo para las inyecciones de plutonio, que fue escrito por Wright Langham y no se hizo público hasta 1995, reveló que el experimento fue el resultado de la reunión de Rochester, así como de "numerosas conversaciones con el Coronel Warren, el Coronel Friedell y el Dr. LH". Hempelmann. Curiosamente el dr Hempelmann se casó con Elinor Pulitzer la nieta del editor de periódicos Joseph Pulitzer cuyo nombre llevan los “prestigiosos” entre comillas premios periodísticos. A cada paciente se le asignaron las iniciales "HP" seguidas de un número. Según un documento, "HP" significaba Human product "producto humano". Los médicos buscaban pacientes que tuvieran un metabolismo relativamente normal. Según el plan provisional, el grupo decidió que a cada paciente se le inyectaría un promedio de cinco microgramos, o cinco millonésimas de gramo de plutonio. Aunque la dosis prevista era cinco microgramos, la cantidad real de plutonio inyectada a los pacientes varió de 4,6 a 6,5 microgramos. La dosis de radiación acumulada recibida por cada paciente dependía de dos factores: la cantidad de material radiactivo inyectado en el cuerpo y cuánto tiempo vivían los sujetos. Cuanto más vivían los pacientes, mayor era su dosis acumulada. Antes de que comenzaran las inyecciones en humanos, a tres ratas se les inyectó en las venas de la cola la misma solución de plutonio que Langham y Bassett planeaban administrar a los pacientes. Sólo un pequeño porcentaje del plutonio fue a parar a los hígados de los roedores, lo que hizo que los dos científicos tuvieran más confianza en que el plutonio inyectado en los seres humanos "no sería absorbido en alta concentración por un solo órgano como el hígado", escribió Bassett. Wright Langham y Samuel Bassett se guardaron sus temores sobre posibles daños hepáticos y otras consecuencias para la salud a largo plazo y, finalmente, los pacientes fueron dados de alta del hospital sin que nunca les hubieran dicho lo que les habían hecho. Durante el resto de sus vidas, los inyectados llevaban dentro de sus cuerpos el plutonio que habían recibido en la sala metabólica de Samuel Bassett. Algunas veces se ‘inventaban’ operaciones para biopsiar órganos internos de pacientes ‘supuestamente’ enfermos y controlar su depósito en los tejidos. La energia nuclear estuvo bien vista en aquel tiempo y por desgracia ahora tenemos otro renacimiento de su popularidad. En esa época se realizaban radiografías con fluoroscopios en las zapaterías especializadas en bebés y niños con desastrosos resultados a largo plazo. Era normal retirar la estática de los discos de vinilo con un cepillo que contenía polonio 210 o llevar un reloj de muñeca con pintura de radio. Todo el mundo apoyaba la radiación y sus oscuros secretos siguen hoy dia a buen recaudo, pero prosigamos. Algunas de las empresas mas importantes USA se involucraron en la carrera para producir la bomba atómica…Stone & Webster Engineering Corporation, Du Pont, Clinton Engineering Works, Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Company, National Carbon Company, Speer Carbon Company, Chrysler, Eastman Kodak, Allis-Chalmers, General Electric, General Motors, Kellogg…lo que se conoció como Proyecto Manhattan. Curiosamente si buscan Proyecto Manhattan en la wikipedia observarán que ni uno solo de los nombres de empresas que citan autores como Manuel Sánchez Ron aparecen allí, ¿raro, verdad? Entre ellas estaba una fábrica química de la compañía Du Pont, la Nemours Company en Deepwater, Nueva Jersey…se dedicó a producir millones de libras de fluoruro para el proyecto Manhattan. La conexión entre la fluoración del agua que defendía el Dr. Hodge y la industria nuclear es clara. A la industria nuclear, al igual que a la del aluminio y a la de los fertilizantes le sobraban cientos de miles de toneladas de flúor y meterlo en la boca de los contribuyentes era una buena forma de deshacerse de dicho residuo. Dejaremos en la descripción del podcast un documental muy aclarador titulado “El Engaño Del Flúor”. En el Estado de Wisconsin, dos dentistas, Frank Bull y John Frisch, se organizaron para poner en marcha el siniestro movimiento de la fluoración. En aquel momento, el trust del aluminio pertenecía en secreto a la Casa Rockefeller; 25 años antes había pertenecido a Andrew Mellon de Pittsburgh; a su muerte, la Casa Rockefeller se apoderó discretamente de él, negando oficialmente cualquier relación con Alcoa a través de su agente de prensa; Sin embargo, el Manual de Industriales y el informe anual del Consejo de Relaciones Exteriores de Rockefeller informaban de que el yerno de Andrew Mellon, miembro de la Casa Rockefeller, era el propietario, junto con su esposa, de la empresa Alcoa. La Casa Rockefeller, posee con su esposa la mayor parte de los fondos de la Compañía de Aluminio. Para aumentar el control de Rockefeller en las reuniones del consejo de Alcoa, Donald K. David, testaferro del Instituto Rockefeller, fue nombrado uno de los directores. Los ingenieros de ventas de Rockefeller pronto descubrieron que si el fluoruro de sodio se podía vender por sólo 1,5 centavos de dólar la libra, se obtendrían unos beneficios de 15 millones de dólares al año. El anuncio de Cox fue acogido con entusiasmo. Los peces gordos del Rockefeller Center se pusieron inmediatamente manos a la obra para preparar una gran campaña de fluoración del agua potable de 16.750 municipios estadounidenses. La operación se puso en marcha hacia 1945. Justamente los técnicos de Alcoa trabajaron mano a mano con químicos del Instituto Mellon y otras multinacionales (Dow Chemical Company, Colgate, Kellog, DuPont) hasta conseguir lo que hoy día se conoce como “la mafia del flúor” (Stephen 1995). En 1944, Oscar Ewing se convirtió repentinamente en uno de los principales empleados de Alcoa. Unos meses más tarde, el Sr. Ewing fue nombrado administrador de la Agencia Federal de Seguridad, actual Departamento de Salud de los Estados Unidos. Ewing recibió 750.000 dólares por un motivo que nunca se reveló, incluso después de que el congresista Al. Miller, de Nebraska, reuniera los datos sobre la donación y presentará su informe al Congreso. El Servicio de Salud Pública de EE.UU., que había sido puesto bajo la jurisdicción de la Agencia Federal de Seguridad de Ewing por el Congreso, lanzó una campaña de promoción masiva en todo Estados Unidos. Bajo la administración de Ewing, se votaron presupuestos enormes, se dieron millones de dólares a colegas médicos y dentistas y, en 1951, pidió y obtuvo dos millones de dólares para promover la idea de la purificación del agua potable. Una de las primeras medidas adoptadas fue establecer una prueba en dos ciudades piloto, Newburgh y Kingston. El agua de Newburgh estaba fluorada, la de Kingston no. El Cuerpo Comisionado del Servicio de Salud Pública de Estados anunció que en 5 años examinarán los dientes de los escolares de las dos ciudades y que la fluoración habría reducido la caries en un 50%. Dado que se transporta en la sangre, el flúor debe encontrarse en todas las partes del cuerpo. Al igual que los huesos, los dientes contienen derivados del flúor. El esmalte dental está compuesto por un 3% de dentina y un 97% de una combinación salina muy íntima de fosfato cálcico, carbonato y flúor. En total, un hombre de 70 kg. contiene de 95 a 100 g. de fluoruro combinado, suministrado y repuesto por la dieta en una forma salina compleja que, en casos normales, garantiza su fijación y ausencia de efectos nocivos. Parte de la ingesta diaria se fija para construir y renovar los huesos y los dientes; la otra parte circula y se elimina en las heces y la orina. Debo mencionar de pasada que las industrias médica y conservera de alimentos utilizan desde hace tiempo fluoruros alcalinos y alcalinotérreos. Ambas saben perfectamente que son a la vez antisépticos potentes y tóxicos algo parecido a lo que pasa con el Bisfenol A de las botellas. Es increíble como habiendo más de 1300 artículos científicos sobre la alta toxicidad de los fluoruros todavía se permita su comercialización sin apenas controles y que se hable de las ventajas de añadirlo al agua y a todo tipo de cosas. Parece que no hemos aprendido nada de la historia de otras sustancias de las que también nos dijo la ciencia que eran seguras como el plomo en la gasolina, el amianto, el DDT, etc Poderoso caballero es don dinero y en este caso la población en general no ha sido advertida de los peligros del flúor ya que las supuestas ONGs y los grupos ecologistas están patrocinados por los mismos fabricantes de este veneno. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ACCIDENTES Y ENVENENAMIENTOS POR FLUORURO El fluoruro, el ingrediente activo de muchos pesticidas y rodenticidas, es un veneno poderoso, más venenoso que el plomo . Debido a esto, la ingestión excesiva accidental de fluoruro puede causar síntomas tóxicos graves. Cada año hay miles de informes a los centros de control de intoxicaciones en los Estados Unidos relacionados con la ingestión excesiva de pastas dentales, enjuagues bucales y suplementos con flúor. Los accidentes de fluoración del agua , que provocan niveles excesivos de fluoruro en el agua, han sido una de las fuentes de intoxicación aguda por fluoruro . FLUORURO Y FLUOROSIS DENTAL La ingestión excesiva de flúor durante los primeros años de la infancia puede dañar las células formadoras de los dientes, provocando un defecto en el esmalte conocido como fluorosis dental . Los dientes afectados por fluorosis tienen una decoloración visible, que va desde manchas blancas hasta manchas marrones y negras . Según los Centros para el Control de Enfermedades , el 32% de los niños estadounidenses tienen actualmente algún tipo de fluorosis dental, y entre el 2 y el 4% de los niños padecen las etapas de moderada a grave (CDC 2005). Según el Dr. Hardy Limeback , Jefe de Odontología Preventiva de la Universidad de Toronto, "es ilógico suponer que el esmalte dental es el único tejido afectado por la ingestión de bajas dosis diarias de flúor. FLUORURO Y ALERGIA/HIPERSENSIBILIDAD Como lo reconoce Physicians' Desk Reference , algunas personas son alérgicas o hipersensibles al fluoruro. El ensayo clínico más grande, financiado por el gobierno, encontró que el 1% de las personas expuestas a 1 mg/día de fluoruro presentaban reacciones alérgicas/hipersensibles, incluidas reacciones cutáneas, malestar gástrico y dolor de cabeza FLUORURO Y LOS RIÑONES Los riñones desempeñan un papel vital en la prevención de la acumulación excesiva de fluoruro en el cuerpo. Entre las personas sanas, los riñones excretan aproximadamente el 50% de la ingesta diaria de fluoruro. Sin embargo, entre las personas con enfermedad renal, la capacidad de los riñones para excretar se ve notablemente afectada, lo que resulta en una acumulación de fluoruro en el cuerpo . Es bien sabido que las personas con enfermedad renal tienen una mayor susceptibilidad a los efectos tóxicos acumulativos del fluoruro. De particular preocupación es la posibilidad de que el fluoruro, cuando se acumula en el sistema esquelético, cause o exacerbe la osteodistrofia renal , una enfermedad ósea que se encuentra comúnmente entre personas con enfermedad renal avanzada. Además, se ha demostrado definitivamente que el fluoruro envenena la función renal en dosis altas durante exposiciones a corto plazo tanto en animales como en humanos. El impacto de dosis bajas de fluoruro, administradas durante largos períodos de tiempo, no se ha estudiado adecuadamente. Un estudio reciente en animales, realizado por científicos de la Agencia de Protección Ambiental de EE.UU. (Varner 1998), informó que la exposición a sólo 1 ppm de fluoruro causaba daño renal en ratas si bebían agua durante un período prolongado, mientras que un nuevo estudio realizado en China encontró una mayor tasa de enfermedad renal entre los seres humanos que consumían más de 2 ppm (Liu 2005). Por lo tanto, los efectos adversos para la función renal que causa el fluoruro en dosis altas durante períodos cortos de tiempo también pueden replicarse con dosis pequeñas si se consume durante períodos prolongados. FLUORURO Y EL CEREBRO La capacidad del fluoruro para dañar el cerebro representa una de las áreas de investigación más activas sobre la toxicidad del fluoruro en la actualidad. La preocupación por el impacto del fluoruro en el cerebro ha sido alimentada por 18 estudios en humanos (de China, México, India e Irán) que informaron déficits de coeficiente intelectual entre niños expuestos a un exceso de fluoruro, por 4 estudios en humanos que indican que el fluoruro puede entrar y dañar el feto cerebro; y por un número creciente de estudios en animales que encuentran daños al tejido cerebral (a niveles tan bajos como 1 ppm) y deterioro del aprendizaje y la memoria entre los grupos tratados con fluoruro. Según el Consejo Nacional de Investigación de EE.UU. , "es evidente que los fluoruros tienen la capacidad de interferir con las funciones del cerebro”. Los hallazgos de efectos neurológicos en humanos expuestos al flúor son coherentes con los resultados recientes de más de 40 estudios en animales publicados desde 1992, y se ven reforzados por ellos. Al igual que los estudios en humanos, los estudios en animales han informado de un deterioro en los procesos de aprendizaje y memoria entre los grupos tratados con flúor. 6) Los estudios en animales también han documentado pruebas considerables de los efectos tóxicos directos del flúor en el tejido cerebral, incluso a niveles tan bajos como 1 ppm de flúor en el agua (Varner 1998). Estos efectos incluyen: -- reducción de los receptores nicotínicos de acetilcolina; -- reducción del contenido lipídico; -- deterioro de los sistemas de defensa antioxidante; -- daños en el hipocampo; -- daños en las células purkinje; -- aumento de la captación de aluminio; -- formación de placas beta-amiloides (la clásica anomalía cerebral de la enfermedad de Alzheimer); -- Exacerbación de las lesiones inducidas por la deficiencia de yodo. -- acumulación de flúor en la glándula pineal. FLUORURO Y LA GLÁNDULA PINEAL En la década de 1990, se descubrió que la glándula pineal es un sitio importante de acumulación de fluoruro dentro del cuerpo , con concentraciones de fluoruro más altas que los dientes o los huesos. Estudios posteriores en animales indican que la acumulación de fluoruro en la glándula pineal puede reducir la síntesis de melatonina en la glándula , una hormona que ayuda a regular el inicio de la pubertad. Se descubrió que los animales tratados con fluoruro tenían niveles reducidos de melatonina circulante y un inicio más temprano de la pubertad que los animales no tratados. El científico que realizó la investigación concluyó: "La seguridad del uso de fluoruros se basa en última instancia en la suposición de que el órgano del esmalte en desarrollo es más sensible a los efectos tóxicos del fluoruro. Los resultados de este estudio sugieren que los pinealocitos pueden ser tan susceptibles al fluoruro como el órgano del esmalte en desarrollo" ( Lucas 1997). El hecho de que el impacto del fluoruro en la glándula pineal nunca haya sido estudiado, ni siquiera considerado , antes de la década de 1990, pone de relieve una importante laguna en el conocimiento que sustenta las políticas actuales sobre el fluoruro y la salud. Según el Consejo Nacional de Investigación de EE. UU ., "cualquier agente que afecte la función pineal podría afectar la salud humana de diversas maneras, incluidos efectos sobre la maduración sexual, el metabolismo del calcio, la función paratiroidea, la osteoporosis posmenopáusica, el cáncer y las enfermedades psiquiátricas”. FLUORURO Y LA GLÁNDULA TIROIDES Según el Consejo Nacional de Investigación de EE. UU ., "varias líneas de información indican un efecto de la exposición al fluoruro sobre la función tiroidea", particularmente entre personas con deficiencia de yodo. El potencial del fluoruro para alterar la función tiroidea se ilustra más claramente por el hecho de que, hasta la década de 1970, los médicos europeos utilizaban el fluoruro como medicamento supresor de la tiroides en pacientes con hipertiroidismo (tiroides hiperactiva). Se utilizó fluoruro porque se encontró que era eficaz para reducir la actividad de la glándula tiroides , incluso en dosis tan bajas como 2 mg/día. Hoy en día, muchas personas que viven en comunidades fluoradas están ingiriendo dosis de fluoruro (1,6 a 6,6 mg/día) que se encuentran dentro del rango de dosis (2 a 10 mg/día) que alguna vez utilizaron los médicos para reducir la actividad tiroidea en pacientes con hipertiroidismo. Esto es particularmente preocupante considerando el problema generalizado del hipotiroidismo (tiroides poco activa) en los Estados Unidos. Los síntomas del hipotiroidismo incluyen obesidad, letargo, depresión y enfermedades cardíacas. FLUORURO Y ENFERMEDADES ÓSEAS Es bien sabido que la exposición excesiva al fluoruro causa una enfermedad ósea llamada fluorosis esquelética . La fluorosis esquelética, especialmente en sus primeras etapas , es una enfermedad difícil de diagnosticar y puede confundirse fácilmente con diversas formas de artritis , incluidas la osteoartritis y la artritis reumatoide . En sus etapas avanzadas, la fluorosis puede parecerse a una multitud de enfermedades de huesos y articulaciones. En personas con enfermedad renal, la exposición al fluoruro puede contribuir y/o exacerbar la osteodistrofia renal . FLUORURO Y FRACTURA ÓSEA La mayoría de los estudios en animales que investigan el efecto del fluoruro sobre la resistencia ósea han encontrado que el fluoruro no tiene ningún efecto o tiene un efecto negativo sobre la resistencia . Según el Consejo Nacional de Investigación de EE. UU. , "El peso de la evidencia indica que, aunque el fluoruro podría aumentar el volumen óseo, hay menos resistencia por unidad de volumen". Los estudios en poblaciones humanas que consumen fluoruro en el agua potable han encontrado una asociación entre la fluorosis dental y un aumento de las fracturas óseas en los niños ; y entre el consumo prolongado de agua fluorada y el aumento de fracturas de cadera en los ancianos. Ensayos clínicos en humanos cuidadosamente realizados , incluidos dos "ensayos doble ciego", han descubierto que el fluoruro (en dosis de 18 a 34 mg/día durante sólo 1 a 4 años) aumenta la tasa de fracturas óseas, particularmente de cadera, entre pacientes con osteoporosis. . FLUORURO Y CÁNCER Según el Programa Nacional de Toxicología, "la preponderancia de la evidencia" de estudios de laboratorio 'in vitro' indica que el fluoruro es un compuesto mutagénico . Muchas sustancias que causan daños mutagénicos también causan cáncer. Si bien las concentraciones de fluoruro que causan daño mutagénico en estudios de laboratorio son más altas que las concentraciones encontradas en la sangre humana, existen ciertos "microambientes" en el cuerpo (por ejemplo, los huesos y la vejiga ) donde las concentraciones de fluoruro pueden acumularse a niveles comparables a, o en exceso de aquellos que causan efectos mutagénicos en el laboratorio. Se ha descubierto que el fluoruro causa cáncer de huesos (osteosarcoma) en estudios gubernamentales con animales y se ha descubierto que las tasas de osteosarcoma entre los hombres jóvenes que viven en áreas fluoradas son más altas que las de los hombres jóvenes que viven en áreas no fluoradas. El osteosarcoma, aunque poco común, es un cáncer muy grave. Los niños que desarrollan osteosarcoma enfrentan una alta probabilidad de muerte (generalmente dentro de los 3 años) o amputación. La exposición al fluoruro también se ha relacionado con el cáncer de vejiga , particularmente entre los trabajadores expuestos al exceso de fluoruro en el lugar de trabajo. Según el Consejo Nacional de Investigación de EE. UU., "se deben realizar más investigaciones sobre el posible efecto del fluoruro en el riesgo de cáncer de vejiga”. FLUORURO Y EL TRACTO GASTROINTESTINAL Entre personas hipersensibles al flúor , se han producido dolencias gastrointestinales tras la ingestión de comprimidos de 1 mg de flúor o el consumo de 1 ppm de agua fluorada. En ensayos clínicos cuidadosamente controlados , se ha descubierto que una sola ingestión de tan solo 3 mg de fluoruro produce daños en la mucosa gástrica en voluntarios adultos sanos. Nunca se ha realizado ninguna investigación en la mucosa gástrica para determinar el efecto de dosis más bajas con exposición repetida. FLUORURO Y CARIES (Caries) Según el consenso actual de la comunidad de investigación dental, el beneficio principal, si no el único, del fluoruro para los dientes proviene de la aplicación TÓPICA en la superficie exterior de los dientes, no de la ingestión . Por lo tanto, tal vez no sea sorprendente que las tasas de caries hayan disminuido a tasas similares en todos los países occidentales en la segunda mitad del siglo XX, independientemente de si el país fluora o no su agua . Hoy en día, las tasas de caries en toda Europa occidental continental son tan bajas como las tasas de caries en los Estados Unidos, a pesar de una profunda disparidad en la prevalencia de la fluoración del agua en las dos regiones. En los países que fluoran el agua, estudios recientes a gran escala sobre salud dental (utilizando métodos científicos modernos no utilizados en los primeros estudios de los años 1930 y 1950) han encontrado pocas diferencias en la caries , incluida la "caries del biberón" , entre las aguas fluoradas. y comunidades no fluoradas. ………………………………………………………………………………………. Conozcamos algunos datos del proyecto Manhattan. El Proyecto Manhattan fue un proyecto de investigación y desarrollo llevado a cabo durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial entre los años 1942 y 1946 que produjo las primeras armas nucleares, liderado por los Estados Unidos con el apoyo del Reino Unido y de Canadá. El Proyecto Manhattan comenzó de forma modesta, creciendo progresivamente hasta tener más de 130 000 empleados y alcanzar un coste de casi 2000 millones de dólares de la época, unos 70.000 millones en la actualidad. Más del 90 % del presupuesto se destinó a la construcción de fábricas y a la producción de materiales fisibles, con menos del 10 % destinado al desarrollo y producción de armas. La investigación y producción tuvieron lugar en más de 30 lugares por todos los Estados Unidos, Reino Unido y Canadá. En junio de 1944 el Proyecto Manhattan tenía alrededor de 129 000 trabajadores empleados, de los que 84500 eran trabajadores de la construcción, 40500 eran operadores de planta y 1800 eran personal militar. Como al final diseñaron una bomba con U-235, el material que se utiliza en los reactores comerciales y que solo es el 0,7% de todo el uranio se tuvo que separar dicho uranio de los otros radioisótopos que no eran necesarios como el el U-238 que es al que se le denomina uranio empobrecido. De cada gramo de uranio natural el 99,284 % de la masa es uranio-238, el 0,711 % uranio-235,2 y el 0,0085 % uranio-234. Separar el U-235 del U-238 fue una tarea titánica en aquella época y se utilizaron tres métodos principales ya que la centrifugación supuso un gran desafío técnico por la complejidad de los rodamientos y ejes necesarios para separar los radioisótopos de uranio. El proceso requería altas velocidades de rotación, pero a su paso por determinadas velocidades se creaban vibraciones armónicas que podían romper la maquinaria. Por ello, era necesario obtener una rápida aceleración para superar estas velocidades. producir un kilo de uranio-235 por día precisaría de hasta 50000 centrifugados con rotores de 1 metro, o 10000 centrifugados con rotores de 4 metros, asumiendo que fuera posible construir estos últimos. Por eso se recurrió al uso de calutrones, la termoforesis y la difusión gaseosa. Los calderones son una especie de imanes gigantes que separaban los dos tipos de radioisótopos calentando el uranio e ionizándolo para luego recogerlo por electromagnetismo en dos zonas diferenciadas. Debido a la escasez de cobre durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, los electroimanes fueron hechos con miles de toneladas de plata prestadas por el Departamento del Tesoro de los Estados Unidos. La termoforesis (también denominada termomigración, termodifusión, efecto Soret, o efecto Ludwig-Soret) es un fenómeno observado en mezclas de partículas móviles, cuando diferentes tipos de partículas exhiben distintas respuestas ante la presencia de un gradiente térmico. Esta técnica no es practica para trabajar a gran escala y apenas fue empleada pasando a realizarse la separación de isótopos de uranio por difusión gaseosa o lo que es lo mismo mediante el uso de centrifugadoras. La difusión gaseosa fue una de las varias tecnologías para la separación de isótopos de uranio desarrolladas por parte del Proyecto Manhattan para producir uranio enriquecido forzando que el hexafluoruro de uranio (único compuesto del uranio gaseoso) atraviese membranas semi-permeables. Esto produce una ligerísima separación entre las moléculas que contienen uranio-235 y uranio-238. Mediante el uso de una gran cascada de muchos pasos, se pueden conseguir grandes separaciones. Los edificios de proceso construidos para albergar estas máquinas en cascada fueron en su momento los más grandes jamás construidos, hablamos de 600 etapas en una larga estructura en forma de U de 800 metros de longitud, que contenía 54 edificios contiguos. La preparación de la materia a tratar, el hexafluoruro de uranio (conocido en el mercado como hex ) fue la primera aplicación para el fluoruro producida comercialmente, y los problemas generados por el manejo tanto del fluoruro como del hex como gases corrosivos fueron significativos. El proyecto Manhattan se llama así porque la oficina que escogió el jefe de ingenieros militar se ubico en el 18.º del 270 Broadway en Nueva York. Además estaba cerca de la oficina en Manhattan de Stone & Webster, el principal contratista del proyecto…así que se quedó con ese nombre. El mando militar corrió a cargo del general Groves y el mando científico ya saben de J. Robert Oppenheimer, apodado el padre de la bomba. En 1944 se adquirió 560 000 kg de mineral de óxido de uranio a compañías que explotaban minas en el Congo Belga. Para poder evitar informar al Secretario del Tesoro estadounidense Henry Morgenthau Jr. sobre el proyecto, utilizaron una cuenta bancaria especial no sujeta a las habituales auditorías y controles por los que tenían que pasar este tipo de fondos. Entre 1944 y el momento en el que dimitió del Fondo en 1947, Groves depositó un total de 37,5 millones de dólares en la cuenta del Fondo. La minería de uranio en Colorado producía alrededor de unas 700 toneladas de uranio al año. Realmente utilizaron los tres procesos encadenados, primero producían uranio enriquecido del 0,71 % hasta el 0,89 % en la planta S-50 de termoforesis que pasó a ser la primera etapa. Este material se usaba en el proceso de difusión gaseosa en la planta K-25, produciendo un producto enriquecido hasta un 23 % que a su vez alimentaba a la planta Y-12 con los calutrones, llegando allí hasta al 89 %, lo suficiente para las armas nucleares. Decir que la planta con los calutrones estuvo en un principio siendo operada por científicos de Berkeley para eliminar fallos y conseguir un índice operacional razonable. Pero fueron finalmente sustituidos por operadoras formadas por Tennessee Eastman (la Kodak) que solo habían recibido una educación secundaria. Cuando compararon los datos vieron que las lugareñas producían mucho mas uranio que los doctorados. A fecha de julio de 1945 se habían entregado alrededor de unos 50 kg de uranio enriquecido hasta un 89 % de uranio-235 en Los Álamos. Estos 50 kg al completo, junto con uranio adicional enriquecido al 50 %, dio un promedio resultante de uranio enriquecido al 85 %, que fueron utilizados en la bomba Little Boy. O sea unos 100kg de U235 al 85%. El uranio natural se compone principalmente de uranio-238 (U-238), que no es fisible, y uranio-235 (U-235), que es fisible. Para producir 100 kg de U-235 enriquecido al 85%, primero debemos determinar la cantidad de uranio natural requerida y luego calcular la cantidad de UF6 necesaria para alcanzar ese enriquecimiento. La relación entre el peso atómico del U-235 y el U-238 es aproximadamente 0.72. Por lo tanto, necesitamos 14.285 kg de uranio normal para obtener 100 kg de uranio enriquecido al 100% y 12.142 kg para que este solo al 85%. En 12 gramos de uranio normal hay 3*10²³ átomos y en todos esos kilos hay una cifra enorme aproximada de 3 x 10^25 átomos de uranio. El UF6 se utiliza para enriquecer uranio, y en el proceso, se convierte todo el uranio (tanto el U-235 como el U-238) en UF6. Por lo tanto, necesitamos 6 átomos de flúor por uno de uranio, o sea 18 x 10^25 átomos de flúor. Lo que equivale a unas 50 toneladas de flúor de las que nunca mas se supo. ………………………………………………………………………………………. Invitados: …. Dra Yane #JusticiaParaUTP Médico y Buscadora de la verdad.

Looking back at past episodes of the show, there are a few memorable ones, not necessarily for anything myself or the other hosts contributed, but rather from some of our esteemed guests.  Of those esteemed guests, one that consistently piles on great information and awesome anecdotes about our hobby is Robert Shanebrook.  A former employee of Eastman Kodak who while working there did everything from build cameras that went to the moon, to helping create some of the company's best film emulsions ever made, even some like TMax which are still being made today. With an incredible wealth of knowledge about Kodak's past and present, Robert still has his fingers on the pulse of the company and the industry and can often give insightful comments on where the industry is headed, so any time Robert agrees to join us, you know you're in for a ton of great information! Joining him on this show is returning guest Mina Saleeb and first time caller Jesse Wisdom.  Of course, joining Robert, Mina, and Jesse are the four horsemen of the world's first and only open source film photography podcast, Anthony, Paul, Theo, and Mike! In this episode, Robert shares his insights into Kodak's recent announcement of their intent to keep making film for as long as there is demand, and what exactly that means for the film community.  Robert reminisces on his days torture testing film and all of the great lengths Eastman Kodak went to making sure only the best film made it to your cameras, he talks about regional films, and a few more memorable film emulsions like Verichrome III and Supra. In addition, Jesse shares his passion for instant film photography and we learn of some history behind Polaroid's lawsuit against Kodak in the 1980s, and how if it weren't for Kodak, Polaroid might have never existed. Mike brings up his Kodak Aero-Ektar surveillance lens, and two recent pickups, a LOMO LC-Wide and W-Nikkor 2.5cm f/4 rangefinder lens.  Anthony shares his experience going to a recent KEH film event in Atlanta and how there is a clear disconnect between younger film enthusiasts and the older generation.  Jesse takes a stand and says that we need to connect the two groups of people as each can benefit from talking to another, but young people don't go on Facebook and old farts don't go on Discord. As always, the topics we discuss on the Camerosity Podcast are influenced by you!  Please don't feel like you have to be an expert on a specific type of camera, or have the level of knowledge on par with other people on the show.  We LOVE people who are new to shooting and are interested in having an episode dedicated to people new to the hobby, so please don't consider your knowledge level to be a prerequisite for joining! The guys and I rarely know where each episode is going to go until it happens, so if you'd like to join us on a future episode, be sure to look out for our show announcements on our Camerosity Podcast Facebook page, and right here on mikeeckman.com.  We usually record every other Monday and announcements, along with the Zoom link are typically shared 2-3 days in advance. For our next episode, we are devoting the entire show to Yashica.  From the earliest Yashica TLRs to Nicca rangefinders to screw mount Yashica SLRs to the final Contax/Kyocera/Yashica SLRs, we plan on covering the entire output of this once great Japanese camera maker.  To help us traverse Yashica's long history, we will be joined by not one, but two Yashica experts who are certain to share with us a great deal of Yashica history and GAS!  If you've ever had any questions about your Yashica Electro or Samurai, this is the episode you won't want to miss, so be sure to join us on Monday, October 30th for the recording of Episode 58!

Very few episodes of the Camerosity Podcast are recorded without mentioning at least one Soviet camera, or something about the Soviet photo industry.  When deciding what we should discuss in future episodes, it was quite a surprise to the gang and I when we realized we had never devoted an entire episode to the subject, so for Episode 56, we put out the call for all our Soviet comrades, poured a large glass of водка, and loaded some film into our favorite Советские Фотоаппараты. Joining us on our tour of camera factories in Moscow, Kyiv, Leningrad, and Minsk are esteemed Soviet camera collector and blogger, Vladislav Kern and all around Soviet enthusiast Mark Beadle.  In addition to Vlad and Mark, regular callers Mark Faulkner, Ray Nason, and Ira Cohen came along for the ride as well. As we often do, Episode 56 starts off with some history and a quick summary of Soviet factories and how their photo industry differed from those in Germany, Japan, and elsewhere.  A whole lot of Soviet GAS was discussed including recommendations for first Soviet cameras for someone whose never shot one, Mike raves repeatedly about Soviet triplets, Paul shares with us his incredibly rare Soviet Leica Summicron lens, and Anthony gets into a discussion about the Soviet motion picture industry. In this episode we talk about Smenas, the half frame Chaika and Agat, the panoramic Horizont, medium format Iskra, the Leningrad and Droug rangefinders, Soviet fakes, swirly bokeh, and a whole host of other Soviet GAS. Later in the show we get into a round of Soviet Mythbusters in which Mike asks Vlad several commonly cited "facts" about Soviet cameras, and whether they are true.  Find out if orphaned children really built FED rangefinders, whether cameras with English logos are built with a higher quality, or whether or not you really need to wind your Soviet camera before changing shutter speeds. As always, the topics we discuss on the Camerosity Podcast are influenced by you!  Please don't feel like you have to be an expert on a specific type of camera, or have the level of knowledge on par with other people on the show.  We LOVE people who are new to shooting and are interested in having an episode dedicated to people new to the hobby, so please don't consider your knowledge level to be a prerequisite for joining! The guys and I rarely know where each episode is going to go until it happens, so if you'd like to join us on a future episode, be sure to look out for our show announcements on our Camerosity Podcast Facebook page, and right here on mikeeckman.com.  We usually record every other Monday and announcements, along with the Zoom link are typically shared 2-3 days in advance. For our next episode, we are coming back to a favorite topic of the show, which is film stocks and film developing.  We will be welcoming back Robert Shanebrook from Eastman Kodak to talk about all the different types of film from history and past, and hopefully get some insight into what might come in the future.  These film emulsion episodes are always fascinating, so be sure to join us on Monday, October 16th for the recording of Episode 57!

Vision and Strategy are terms often used interchangeably. It's easy to do, especially when the future is racing toward us. But when we conflate the notion of vision and strategy — as Eastman Kodak learned the hard way years ago — we confuse our objective with the path to achieving it. How can we adjust … The post 117 / Re-Imagining the Future of Product, with Erica Orange appeared first on ITX Corp..

Cinematographer Jody Lee Lipes, ASC on the benefits and challenges of shooting 16mm for director Savanah Leaf's moving social drama.

The company hired to provide care and services to migrants bused to Rochester and other upstate cities is accused of mistreating those in their charge, Eastman Kodak this week reported an increase in profits but a drop in revenues, and the International Toy Research Association is holding its world conference at the Strong Museum of Play this week.

“To invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junk.” There is no better role model for this Thomas Edison quote than Steve Sasson, the electrical engineer fresh out of grad school who was hired to work in a Kodak research lab, in 1973. With a passion for scavenging parts and a penchant for invention, he developed the world's first self-contained digital camera just two years after his arrival in the lab. In honor of National Camera Day, we invited Sasson to the podcast for an in-depth discussion about his invention of this revolutionary device. Listen in to hear about the surprising reception Sasson's prototype received from Kodak executives during early demonstrations of its use, the complicated mix of cultural and business factors confronting a company in the throes of innovation, the many years that elapsed before Sasson was allowed to speak publicly about the camera, and much, much more.   In addition to being a storyline worthy of a Hollywood blockbuster, our conversation offers rare insight into the inner workings of a long-established, successful company that knows a lot about the problem but doesn't like the answer. Stay to the end to hear Sasson make a comparison to a groundbreaking technological development in the corporate world today.

Hot off our 50th episode, the Camerosity Podcast goes back to the roots of our name, exploring the rich history of Eastman Kodak, one of the most influential companies in the photographic world.  You can't talk about the history of Kodak without George Eastman and what better way to explore that history than with Todd Gustavson, curator of the George Eastman Museum in Rochester, NY. Todd has been on the show before, but in this the 51th episode, he gets center stage, talking of his role at the Eastman Museum, the origins of George Eastman and how his company got started.  In this episode, you'll learn about George Eastman making dry plates in his mother's kitchen, his motivation for making the original 1888 Kodak, where the name "Kodak" comes from, early 20th century Kodaks, prewar, postwar, and everything in between. Also joining us on the show is the only person in the US I would trust with Kodak Retina repair, Paul Barden.  Back in 2022, long time Retina guru Chris Sherlock hung up his lens spanners and retired from Retina repair.  Not willing to leave a void in quality Retina service, Chris passed on his knowledge to Paul, who lives on the west coast of the United States.  This not only means that there is still a quality option for Retina repair, but for those of you in the US, shipping rates are much cheaper than to New Zealand!  Listen to this episode as Paul talks about his work repairing Retinas, what some of his favorite models are, and what models he does and doesn't repair. In addition to Todd and Paul's massive amount of Kodak knowledge, we go deep into some of the best Kodak cameras ever made, the Kodaks Ektra, Medalist, Monitor, and Regent get discussed here.  We talk about Walter Dorwin Teague, Dr. August Nagel, and Hubert Nerwin.  Mike shares what his all time favorite Retina is to shoot, Anthony discusses his nomination for a medium format Retina, Todd and Mike talk about Joe Mihayli and his contributions to Kodak's legacy. As always, the topics we discuss on the Camerosity Podcast are influenced by you!  We would love to hear from more listeners, especially those who are new to shooting film or collecting cameras.  Please don't feel like you have to be an expert on a specific type of camera, or have the level of knowledge on par with other people on the show.  We LOVE people who are new to shooting and are interested in having an episode dedicated to people new to the hobby, so please don't consider your knowledge level to be a prerequisite for joining! The guys and I rarely know where each episode is going to go until it happens, so if you'd like to join us on a future episode, be sure to look out for our show announcements on our Camerosity Podcast Facebook page, and right here on mikeeckman.com.  We usually record every other Monday and announcements, along with the Zoom link are typically shared 2-3 days in advance. Our next episode of the Camerosity Podcast will be our widest ever, as the gang discusses panorama photography and panoramic cameras.  If you've ever wanted to know what it's like to shoot a Hasselblad XPan, Soviet Horizont, Noblex, or a Widelux camera, this is the episode for you!  Episode 52 will be recorded on Friday, June 30th.  We hope to see you there!

In this the 50th episode of the Camerosity Podcast, the gang and I look back at the past two years of open source film photography nonsense.  A podcast created late one night on a whim has turned into one of the most popular of its kind. This is a screenshot from the recording of the very first Cocaine and Waffles Podcast recorded on May 12, 2021. Coming out of podcast retirement (somewhat) is original host, and former creator of the Classic Lenses Podcast, Johnny Sisson.  Dusting off his headset and microphone, Johnny updates us on what happened to his former co-hosts and reflects on what his favorite episodes were.  One of which involves Mr. Bob Rotoloni who conveniently joins us on this episode along with returning guests Rob Jamieson and podcast host himself, Andre Domingues. On a show featuring both Bob and Johnny, we are treated to a great deal more stories about Nikon and Polaroid, along with discussion about a strange product that brought both brands together.  It wouldn't be a Camerosity Podcast episode without the discussion foraying into other topics such as the Bronica S2 and adapting Bronica lenses, Hasselblads, Diptychs, and Andre's very favorable review of the half frame Kodak H35 which we touched upon in the last episode. In the spirit of an anniversary episode that reflects back on our origins, be sure to stay through the closing music for a look back into the very first moments of this show...Episode 0! As always, the topics we discuss on the Camerosity Podcast are influenced by you!  We would love to hear from more listeners, especially those who are new to shooting film or collecting cameras.  Please don't feel like you have to be an expert on a specific type of camera, or have the level of knowledge on par with other people on the show.  We LOVE people who are new to shooting and are interested in having an episode dedicated to people new to the hobby, so please don't consider your knowledge level to be a prerequisite for joining!

This episode, I welcome repeat guest, celebrity CEO, Jeffrey Hayzlett, Founder of the C-Suite Network, former Chief Marketing Officer at Eastman Kodak, and prime-time host on Bloomberg TV. Jeffrey and I talk about the updated version of his early book, ‘The Mirror Test'. Jeffrey shares some inspiring stories about how he changed mood and culture at Eastman Kodak. Jeffrey Hayzlett also has a new ebook out, How To Survive The Recession, Never Waste A Good Crisis. Download it now from https://pages.c-suitenetwork.com/crisis Five economists and a futurist were asked about what's happening with this upcoming recession that's going to hit us across the world. In addition there's multiple Thought Leaders who contributed some great suggestions. Listen to Jeffrey Hayzlett's ‘All Business' podcast special episode 403 on the recession HERE: https://c-suitenetwork.com/radio/shows/all-business-with-jeffrey-hayzlett/ Watch the special episode on the recession on ‘All Business' on C-Suite TV HERE: https://c-suitenetwork.com/show/all-business-with-jeffrey-hayzlett/ Jeffrey says, ‘They say it's going to be mild, but even in a mild recession, you could have ups and downs. And what I learned. in most recessions, there's great opportunity.' TALKING POINTS ‘We have to set the cadence of our business and everybody talks about focusing on culture. Culture is important without question. But it takes a long time to build culture. But if you focus on mood, you have a greater impact faster in changing the mood. It's easier to change the mood than it is to change the culture. If I have everybody in the business who feel that our best days are behind us, there's nothing I can do to bring them into the present. So what I do is I spend time changing the mood of the business; to make them feel like, ‘Hey, we can win, we can do these things'. Then that will impact culture, that will impact the bottom line, that will impact the top line, and that'll get us where we want to go a lot faster.' === CONTACT JEFFREY HAYZLETT via LinkedIn. https://www.linkedin.com/in/hayzlett/  === Editor: Zane Woollett === ABOUT HOST, NINA SUNDAY CSP Contact: info@brainpowertraining.com.au or nina@ninasunday.com   As Founder/Owner of Brainpower Training Pty Ltd you can arrange for Nina or one of her Facilitators Australia-wide to deliver face-to-face team training.

In our previous episode, we looked at the history of flight - from dinosaurs to the modern aircraft that carry people and things all over the world. Those helped to make the world smaller, but UAVs and drones have had a very different impact in how we lead our lives - and will have an even more substantial impact in the future. That might not have seemed so likely in the 1700s, though - when unmann Unmanned Aircraft Napoleon conquered Venice in 1797 and then ceded control to the Austrians the same year. He then took it as part of a treaty in 1805 and established the first Kingdom of Italy. Then lost it in 1814. And so they revolted in 1848. One of the ways the Austrians crushed the revolt, in part employing balloons, which had been invented in 1783, that were packed with explosives. 200 balloons packed with bombs later, one found a target. Not a huge surprise that such techniques didn't get used again for some time. The Japanese tried a similar tactic to bomb the US in World War II - then there were random balloons in the 2020s, just for funsies. A few other inventions needed to find one another in order to evolve into something entirely new. Radio was invented in the 1890s. Nikola Tesla built a radio controlled boat in 1898. Airplanes came along in 1903. Then came airships moved by radio. So it was just a matter of time before the cost of radio equipment came down enough to match the cost of building smaller airplanes that could be controlled with remote controls as well.  The first documented occurrence of that was in 1907 when Percy Sperry filed a patent for a kite fashioned to look and operate like a plane, but glide in the wind. The kite string was the first remote control. Then electrical signals went through those strings and eventually the wire turned into radio - the same progress we see with most manual machinery that needs to be mobile. Technology moves upmarket, so Sperry Corporation the aircraft with autopilot features in 1912. At this point, that was just a gyroscopic heading indicator and attitude indicator that had been connected to hydraulically operated elevators and rudders but over time would be able to react to all types of environmental changes to save pilots from having to constantly manually react while flying. That helped to pave the way for longer and safer flights, as automation often does. Then came World War I. Tesla discussed aerial combat using unmanned aircraft in 1915 and Charles Kettering (who developed the electric cash register and the electric car starter) gave us The Kettering Bug, a flying, remote controlled torpedo of sorts. Elmer Sperry worked on a similar device. British war engineers like Archibald Low were also working on attempts but the technology didn't evolve fast enough and by the end of the war there wasn't much interest in military funding. But a couple of decades can do a lot. Both for miniaturization and maturity of technology. 1936 saw the development of the first navy UAV aircraft by the name of Queen Bee by Admiral William H. Stanley then the QF2. They was primarily used for aerial target practice as a low-cost radio-controlled drone. The idea was an instant hit and later on, the military called for the development of similar systems, many of which came from Hollywood of all places. Reginald Denny was a British gunner in World War I. They shot things from airplanes. After the war he moved to Hollywood to be an actor. By the 1930s he got interested in model airplanes that could fly and joined up with Paul Whittier to open a chain of hobby shops. He designed a few planes and eventually grew them to be sold to the US military as targets. The Radioplane as they would be known even got joysticks and they sold tens of thousands during World War II.  War wasn't the only use for UAVs. Others were experimenting and by 1936 we got the first radio controlled model airplane competition in 1936, a movement that continued to grow and evolve into the 1970s. We got the Academy of Model Aeronautics (or AMA) in 1936, who launched a magazine called Model Aviation and continues to publish, provide insurance, and act as the UAV, RC airplane, and drone community representative to the FAA. Their membership still runs close to 200,000. Most of these model planes were managed from the ground using radio remote controls.  The Federal Communications Commission, or FCC, was established in 1934 to manage the airwaves. They stepped in to manage what frequencies could be used for different use cases in the US, including radio controlled planes. Where there is activity, there are stars. The Big Guff, built by brothers Walt and Bill Guff, was the first truly successful RC airplane in that hobbiest market. Over the next decades solid state electronics got smaller, cheaper, and more practical. As did the way we could transmit bits over those wireless links.  1947 saw the first radar-guided missile, the subsonic Firebird, which over time evolved into a number of programs. Electro-mechanical computers had been used to calculate trajectories for ordinances during World War II so with knowledge of infrared, we got infrared homing then television cameras mounted into missiles and when combined with the proximity fuse, which came with small pressure, magnetic, acoustic, radio, then optical transmitters. We got much better at blowing things up.  Part of that was studying the German V-2 rocket programs. They used an analog computer to control the direction and altitude of missiles. The US Polaris and Minuteman missile programs added transistors then microchips to missiles to control the guidance systems. Rockets had computers and so they showed up in airplanes to aid humans in guiding those, often replacing Sperry's original gyroscopic automations. The Apollo Guidance Computer from the 1969 moon landing was an early example of times when humans even put their lives in the hands of computers - with manual override capabilities of course. Then as the price of chips fell in the 1980s we started to see them in model airplanes. Modern Drones By now, radio controlled aircraft had been used for target practice, to deliver payloads and blow things up, and even for spying. Aircraft without humans to weight them down could run on electric motors rather than combustable engines. Thus they were quieter. This technology allowed the UAVs to fly undetected thus laying the very foundation for the modern depiction of drones used by the military for covert operations.  As the costs fell and carrying capacity increased, we saw them used in filmmaking, surveying, weather monitoring, and anywhere else a hobbyist could use their hobby in their career. But the cameras weren't that great yet. Then Fairchild developed the charge-coupled device, or CCD, in 1969. The first digital camera arguably came out of Eastman Kodak in 1975 when Steven Sasson built a prototype using a mixture of batteries, movie camera lenses, Fairchild CCD sensors, and Motorola parts. Sony came out with the Magnetic Video Camera in 1981 and Canon put the RC701 on the market in 1986. Fuji, Dycam, even the Apple QuickTake, came out in the next few years. Cameras were getting better resolution, and as we turned the page into the 1990s, those cameras got smaller and used CompactFlash to store images and video files. The first aerial photograph is attributed to Gaspar Tournachon, but the militaries of the world used UAVs that were B-17 and Grumman Hellcats from World War II that had been converted to drones full of sensors to study nuclear radiation clouds when testing weapons. Those evolved into Reconnaisance drones like the Aerojet SD-2, with mounted analog cameras in the 50s and 60s. During that time we saw the Ryan Firebees and DC-130As run thousands of flights snapping photos to aid intelligence gathering. Every country was in on it. The USSR, Iran, North Korea, Britain. And the DARPA-instigated Amber and then Predator drones might be considered the modern precursor to drones we play with today. Again, we see the larger military uses come down market once secrecy and cost meet a cool factor down-market. DARPA spent $40 million on the Amber program. Manufacturers of consumer drones have certainly made far more than that.  Hobbyists started to develop Do It Yourself (DIY) drone kits in the early 2000s. Now that there were websites, we didn't have to wait for magazines to show up, we could take to the World Wide Web forums and trade ideas for how to do what the US CIA had done when they conducted the first armed drone strike in 2001 - just maybe without the weapon systems since this was in the back yard.  Lithium-ion batteries were getting cheaper and lighter. As were much faster chips. Robotics had come a long way as well, and moving small parts of model aircraft was much simpler than avoiding all the chairs in a room at Stanford. Hobbyists turned into companies that built and sold drones of all sizes, some of which got in the way of commercial aircraft. So the FAA started issuing drone permits in 2006.  Every technology had a point, where the confluence of all these technologies meets into a truly commercially viable product. We had Wi-Fi, RF (or radio frequency), iPhones, mobile apps, tiny digital cameras in our phones, and even in spy teddy bears, we understood flight, propellers, plastics were heavier-than-air, but lighter than metal. So in 2010 we got the Parrot AR Drone. This was the first drone that was sold to the masses that was just plug and play. And an explosion of drone makers followed, with consumer products ranging from around $20 to hundreds now. Drone races, drone aerogymnastics, drone footage on our Apple and Google TV screens, and with TinyML projects for every possible machine learning need we can imagine, UAVs that stabilize cameras, can find objects based on information we program into it, and any other use we can imagine.  The concept of drones or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) has come a long way since the Austrians tried to bomb the Venetians into submission. Today  there are mini drones, foldable drones, massive drones that can carry packages, racing drones, and even military drones programmed to kill. In fact, right now there are debates raging in the UN around whether to allow drones to autonomously kill. Because Skynet.  We're also experimenting with passenger drone technology. Because autonomous driving is another convergence just waiting in the wings. Imagine going to the top of a building and getting in a small pod then flying a few buildings over - or to the next city. Maybe in our lifetimes, but not as soon as some of the companies who have gone public to do just this thought.

If you were to think of an iconic photo from any major American sport from over the past 50 years, there's a decent chance Walter is the one who captured that image. Walter talks about his life behind the lens, a lens that has captured household names, helped make a few athletes become household names, and even at times when people in his photos were not famous, the image was still…iconic. This episode was first releases April 5, 2021. https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/shapingopinion/Encore_-_Walter_Iooss_Sports_Photographer.mp3 There is a photo from 1988 of Michael Jorden in his red Chicago Bulls uniform that makes it look like he's defying gravity. Like he's flying, basketball in hand, somewhere between the foul line and the hoop, ready to slam that ball through the net. If a picture tells 1,000 stories, this one tells 1,001. Did he really take off at the foul line and make it to the hoop in one jump? What does it take to do that? The image is iconic. There's another photo from years earlier when New York Jets celebrity quarterback Joe Namath was preparing for the Super Bowl. And by preparing, I mean lounging next to a swimming pool, getting some sun, surrounded by a fans and reporters. Broadway Joe, in swimming trunks, flashing his million-dollar smile. Iconic. Then there's that one from the NFC Championship game in January 1982. That's where Joe Montana tossed the winning pass to Dwight Clark to send the San Francisco 49ers to the Super Bowl. The photo features the exact moment where Clark is at the high point of his jump, catching the football barely in his fingertips, to bring it down with a championship. The photo and the moment have been dubbed, “The Catch.” Iconic. Those are three iconic images of many that have one thing in common. Walter Iooss. He's the photographer who sometimes captures iconic moments, and other times, through this artistic eye, he creates them. Walter has shot photos for Time, Newsweek, New York and People magazines.  He's done advertising work for brands like Adidas, Pepsi, Gatorade, Fuji and Eastman Kodak. He's published many books of his work, but the major constant in his career has been his work for Sports Illustrated. A magazine he started working for in the 1960s, and one he still works for today. Over the years, he's shot images for more than 300 of the magazine's covers.

Since the age of 17, Walter has photographed some of the most recognized athletes in sports history, including Muhammad Ali, Michael Jordan, Lebron James, Tiger Woods, and hundreds more. His ability to create beautiful backdrops for his subjects, both action and portraits, changed the definition of what a “good sports photograph” should be. Walter placed the same care and consciousness from his sports photographs to create Sports Illustrated's now-legendary swimsuit issues. As in his action shots, his portraits for SI's legendary swimsuit issues revealed his uncanny sense of graphics and Rembrandt-like reverence for light and shadow. His ability to truly connect with his subjects, athletes, or models, is what helped make Walter the best in the gam...

In today's episode, Host Dan Hesse talks with Bill Zollars, former YRC CEO and a 24-year veteran of Eastman Kodak during the company's heyday. The story of how Kodak, the third most powerful brand in the world, lost its way and ended up in bankruptcy remains so shocking on the surface that its journey is studied in business schools worldwide. There have been accounts in academic and business journals written about the demise of Kodak, but none with the anecdotes and insider's view that Bill shares. Zollars adds color to Kodak's journey with personal anecdotes of Kodak Moments and his unique insights into what was really going on behind the camera.  The lessons learned from the Kodak saga are applicable to any company - particularly those that think "this could never happen to us". After graduating Magna Cum Laude and Phi Beta Kappa from the University of Minnesota, Bill joined Eastman Kodak where he held roles in Finance, Strategic Planning, Marketing, Logistics and General Management during a 24-year career. Bill left Kodak to establish the Integrated Logistics business at Ryder Systems and grew it from $300 million to $1.5 Billion in 3 years. He later became President of Yellow Freight and two years later was promoted to Chairman, President, and CEO of YRC Freight, a company he grew from $1 billion to $10 billion in revenue and into the Fortune 250 during his 12-year tenure as CEO. He serves on the boards of Cigna, Prologis and several private company boards, and was Chairman of Cerner until it was sold to Oracle in 2022. He is also in his third year as a Governor of the U.S. Postal Service. Listen below... or on ANY podcast platform, ANY time... THE Mentors RADIO...

On this week's episode of Grease the Wheels, we go into the weeds on how employers can show their employees appreciation. Right off the bat it is never going to be a bad idea to feed your employees regularly, especially when you want their attention. Showing your appreciation can be a matter of shop morale, but even more importantly it can be an important tool to reduce turnover- which is a massive problem in this industry. Happy employees can also do things to your brand reputation that you can't buy - see exhibit A. Wegman's. When you listen to your employees you can also see innovation coming from the people who have been implementing it and found better ways to do their jobs- see exhibit B. Eastman Kodak. However, Uncle Jimmy has broken down “The Art of Appreciation” for the technicians in your shop into the borderline Stalinist slogan: “Food, Fun, and Money” while also railing against overpriced vending machines.Also Uncle Jimmy goes off on the “end-of-month sales department chaos-blitzkrieg” waged in shops all over the world on the 28th-31st of every month and promotes feral hog hunting as an “unique incentive”.This episode is distributed by The Wrenching Network.

When Samsung Electronics acquired Stamford, Connecticut-based Harman International for $8 billion in cash in 2017, it was not the first time that the South Korean company's appetite for convergence IP had intersected with the career path of Harman CFO Sandra Rowland. A little more than 7 years earlier, Samsung executives had sat across the table from Rowland when she was head of corporate FP&A for Eastman Kodak in Rochester, New York. At the time, Kodak was busily negotiating IP licensing deals with several smartphone manufacturers, including Samsung, that were eager to leverage what Kodak had amassed—an inventory of more than 1,000 digital-imaging patents. “Kodak was the inventor of the digital camera, and there was a real opportunity there to leverage the intellectual property and create a key funding source,” reports Rowland, who left Kodak in 2012 after a Harman board member recommended her for a top IR role. She would enter Harman's CFO office 2 years later. “There's a high correlation between investor relations and company strategy, and at Harman the CFO role covered the execution of M&A transactions as well as the corporate strategy,” comments Rowland, who adds that IR remained her primary focus for the first six months, after which point she took on a variety of corporate development activities. Not unlike the case during her years at Kodak, the winds of technology convergence were steadily blowing at Harman, a publicly held company specializing in designing and integrating in-vehicle technologies. Observes Rowland: “Whether it is automotive technologies or consumer technologies, there is a lot of convergence—and people want the same experience in their cars today that they have with smartphones at home.” Of course, Samsung's $8 billion in cash afforded the electronics giant something more than Harman's IP and technologies—it also acquired long-term relationships with most of the world's largest automakers. “As part of the transaction, the Samsung's team asked our key leaders to stay because they were new to the automotive space,” states Rowland, who as part of her agreement with Samsung remained as CFO of a newly formed Harman independent subsidiary for a period of 3 years.   It was less than 30 days beyond the expiration of her Samsung agreement that Rowland was named CFO of water technology company Xylem—thus opening a new CFO chapter for her with plenty of converging technologies to explore. Asked about parting from Samsung, Rowland admits, “I did want to go back and become a public company CFO once again.” –Jack Sweeney

Episode No. 557 features artist Meghann Riepenhoff and curator Michelle White. Meghann Riepenhoff is included in "Watershed," an exhibition at the University of Michigan Museum of Art that considers the interconnected histories, present lives, and imagined futures of the Great Lakes region. "Watershed" features work by 15 artists, six of whom were commissioned to make new work for the show. Riepenhoff's 2022 Waters of the Americas: EPA ID NYD980592497, Eastman Kodak's Emissions B (Confluence of the Genesee River and Lake Ontario, Rochester, NY, 03.12.2022) is among those commissions. The exhibition was curated by Jennifer M. Friess, and is on view through October 23. Riepenhoff's work foregrounds the chemical processes from which pictures are and have been made since the nineteenth century, and brings those processes into contact with nature, including rivers, lakes and oceans. Her work has been included in exhibitions at SFMOMA, the High Museum of Art, the Portland Art Museum, Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, and more. This September, Radius and Yossi Milo Gallery will publish Riepenhoff's new book Ice; and Yossi Milo will present related work in its New York space.

Scott Anthony says that you say that the most powerful untapped source of energy in the world right now is the innovative energy within large companies that is currently going to waste.Scott is a Senior Partner at Innosight and a visiting professor at Dartmouth's Tuck School of Business..

And the lesson that you inevitably take when you write a failure resumé is that failure isn't fatal. That you learn something from it. And life goes on.The characteristics of innovationI believe everybody has an intrinsic innovator inside of them because the characteristics of innovation are characteristics of human beings as a species. InertiaWhen you go into a living breathing organization, you have to fight a pretty insidious enemy. And that enemy is inertia. It's the way that things are currently being done.Show Links:Recommended Resources:Paul Cobban - Industry Fellow at MIT Center for Information Technology Research - MIT CISR | LinkedInSteve BlankClark Gilbert | InnosightCarol Dweck & Growth MindsetGuest Profile:Faculty Profile at Tuck School of BusinessProfessional Profile at InnosightProfessional Profile at Thinkers50Scott Anthony on LinkedInScott Anthony on TwitterHis Work:Eat, Sleep, Innovate: How to Make Creativity an Everyday Habit Inside Your OrganizationDual Transformation: How to Reposition Today's Business While Creating the FutureThe Little Black Book of Innovation, With a New Preface: How It Works, How to DoThe First Mile: A Launch Manual for Getting Great Ideas into the MarketBuilding a Growth FactorySilver Lining: Your Guide to Innovating in a DownturnThe Innovator's Guide to Growth: Putting Disruptive Innovation to WorkSeeing What's Next: Using the Theories of Innovation to Predict Industry Change

Paul Travers is the Founder and CEO of Vuzix, a leading supplier of Smart Glasses and Augmented Reality technologies and products for the consumer and enterprise markets. Prior to Vuzix, Paul was an engineer at Eastman Kodak, innovating the future of digital cameras. He went on to become a serial entrepreneur, having started multiple hardware technology companies, including in sound cards for PCs and USB connectivity products.Vuzix was formed more than 20 years ago, and through it, Paul has seen spatial computing technology evolve from the early days of VR in the mid-1990s to the highly capable AR smart glasses of today.In this conversation, Paul describes the Vuzix hardware lineup, including the Blade and the M-series. We discuss how they're being used, where they shine, and what's special about the upcoming Shield device. The Shield will be one of the first devices with a µLED display, and emphasizes “wearability” over field of view or functionality. [quote]We go on to discuss why wearability is so important and how much field of view is big enough to satisfy a large number of use cases. We also discuss the importance of µLED technology and how to solve for prescription at scale. Paul also describes how he wants to support OEMs in the consumer market and provides an overview of how Vuzix will invest the 100+ million dollars they have recently raised.You can find all of the show notes at thearshow.com.

This week on episode 25 we go beyond the world of film and bring to you a whole episode talking about the history of digital cameras.  In order to do that, we called upon a man who can speak to the earliest history of digital photography like no other, Steve Sasson. In 1975, at the age of only 25 while working for Kodak, Steve created the world's first digital camera.  A crude looking blue and metal box with exposed electronics inside, a lens from a Kodak XL movie camera, and a cassette recorder as it's data storage device, the camera worked, and set the world on a path that leads us to modern smartphones today. Not to be outdone, Steve is joined by Robert Shanebrook who we have spoken with before as a 35 year employee of Eastman Kodak, Robert worked in the same lab with Steve and shares with us his memories of that time at Kodak and how things progressed from there. Also, with us is Todd Gustavson, author and curator at the George Eastman Museum, Todd knows Kodak history like no one else, and has access to a whole collection of the earliest digital cameras. Finally, Daniel Koons is a Kodak collector and early digital camera enthusiast who has meticulously built the world's only replica of Steve's prototype digital camera.  Using high resolution images provided to him by Todd, Daniel was able to recreate the camera with an impressive level of precision and can speak to the inside workings of the camera second only to Steve. It wouldn't be an open source podcast without some callers, and this time we have returning guests, Mark Faulkner, Mark Peterson, and Jon Gilchrist who ask their own questions and share their own experiences. Every episode, the topics we discuss on the Camerosity Podcast are decided entirely upon you, so if you'd like to join us next time, be sure to look out for our next show announcement for Episode 26, which will be recorded on Monday, May 16th!

It was in 1983 that his wife Peggy had convinced them that he needed to slow down and after an exhaustive search they landed in Williamsburg, Virginia.  Along with producing world quality wine Patrick Duffeler has an amazing country Inn called Wedmore Place and several restaurants on the Estate at Wessex Hundred.His winemaker Matthew Meyer came to Williamsburg via California where he earned a degree at UC Davis in both Oenology and Viticulture and after a short stint at Grigich Hills Wine Cellars was recruited by Heitz Wine Cellars and learned directly from Joe Heitz.  Matthew moved to Virginia and took the position as Winemaker in 2002 and has been producing some of Virginia's highest quality wines ever since.HIGHLIGHTS OF THE INTERVIEW: a).

Matthew surprised me with his answer to my question about what was that one bottle of wine you had that made you go, that's it, now I get it.  Wine can be that ethereal.  g).
