elucidate wiki's account of WTC destruction

6.12:
. this is in reference to an earlier blog post
in which I was concerned that skyscrapers are using
controlled demolition as means of
emergency fire suppression
without telling either the public or firefighters .

6.10: co.apt/pol/purges/controlled demolition/automated:
. why didn't they tell the firefighters to leave
if they controlled when the building would fall down?
perhaps the demolition system is automated:
ie, the building could be sensing when its
electrical coordination system is about to get
compromised by the fire,
thereby allowing it to avoid a controlled demolition
up until the point at which the fire damage would
render the system unable to execute a demolition .

5.3: proj.cyb/net.wiki/World_Trade_Center#Destruction:
. I need to include in the tower destruction page
that the way it was destroyed has been disputed .

and move addition out of previous ref's scope
the result is this paragraph:

wiki's World_Trade_Center Destruction


At 9:59 a.m., the South Tower collapsed
after burning for approximately 56 minutes.
The fire caused steel structural elements,
already weakened from the plane impact,
to fail.
The north tower collapsed at 10:28 a.m.,
after burning for approximately 102 minutes.[118]
At 5:20 p.m.[119] on September 11, 2001,
7 World Trade Center started to collapse
with the crumble of the east penthouse,
and it collapsed completely at 5:21 p.m.[119]
owing to uncontrolled fires
causing structural failure.[120]
This account of the collapse's cause
was disputed by proponents of
World Trade Center controlled demolition
conspiracy theories

blogger.com's Dynamic Views

5.2: news.cyb/net.blogger.com/Dynamic Views:
summary:
. dynamic views allows your readers to
select a viewing mode
(list of entries, matrix of icons, etc);
. if you switch to the dynamic view
then you get a menu for changing views,
but you lose the view you have now !
. the way to get dynamic views
and still keep your old view,
is to make your own menu:
one of the widgets of the old view
allows you to list your favorite web pages;
you can fill this list with these links:

social sites promoting activism

5.12: sci.cyb/net.care2.com/social promoting change:
. that first health article I found there
was their most impressive;
the others are triviage, like warning you that
fox news doesn't know what it's talking about
when they say you can live off rice & beans
(the point was that the cost of living isn't cheap
even if you replace meat with beans).
. some entries reminded me of twitter
without links: a one-liner to say an oil guy
is going to spend a year off the grid in alaska .
. lots of activism: not just stories, but also
suggestion of ways you can make a difference .
. seemed to spend a lot on gay rights
but maybe it's just a very big time for that issue
(today's buzz is about gay marriage,
which wouldn't even be an issue if our laws
didn't discriminate against singles .
. nobody but family can visit in some hospitals?
family can contest an inheritance
to a non-married partner ? )

unlimited free online storage

6.12: summary:
. there is plenty of free storage online:
2GB from dropbox
5GB from google's g'Drive
7GB from Microsoft's SkyDrive,
and 5GB sync'ing services from
Ubuntu One and Apple's iCloud;
however,
iCloud doesn't sync just any folder:
it sync's your iWork doc's,
and 3rd party app's are free to sync
what's in their sandbox;
it also pushes your itune purchases
to all your devices .

. there are many more free sites too,
and, even some unlimited free plans
as long as you're publicly sharing your files,
or not using an ad'blocker, etc .

. DropBox and SkyDrive may be deleted
if not visited every 90 days;
google's gmail has an inactivity policy
but it's Drive service apparently does not .

5.5: news.cyb/net.dropbox/no passwords needed for hours!:
"( Why I switched from Dropbox to Windows Live Mesh ...)
. dropbox had an amazing lapse in security:
for several hours any password would open any acct!

facebook security options

6.12: summary:
. I enabled secure connection
so that facebook uses https
to encrypt the info it sends to me .
. while doing that I found an
even more important security feature:
if an attempt is made to log in
from a device I don't usually use,
they will text my cell phone
and ask me what was sent
to ensure the user also has my cell phone
as proof it is really me .

Fusion 3.1.4 works with Mac OS x Lion

5.5: web.cyb/mac#lion/fusion ok with upgrade?:
6.11: summary:
. I updated to latest the Fusion 3.1.4
before doing the upgrade to Lion,
and everything turned out great;
the usb camera works fine,
and other usb devices are used only from
the host OS (mac).
. I did not need to uninstall and reinstall Fusion .
. I already had the recommended 4gb ram .
. I did not intend on using mac as a guest OS
( if that idea appeals to you,
then you'll want the upgrade to Fusion 4.0 ).

recovering from brain atrophy

5.14: co.lef.org/med/apm/recovering from brain atrophy:
G Satyanarayanan
Can cognitive problems caused by
antipsychotic like risperidone
(ADHD, slow processing speed, low working memory)
and lithium(dyslexia, restlessness,
immediate and long term memory loss)
be reversed?
I was taking these medications for 4 years.
Now I 've stopped them
still now side-effects of those drugs not gone
so that I can say I have become normal
wrt those cognitive parameters.
Is cognitive problems caused by antipsychotic
like risperidone and lithium reversible?
What duration of such medications
beyond which such side effects
are not reversible- 2/4/6 years?
Ad: "Stainless Steel Meat Hammer"
me:
. Satyanarayanan asks about brain repair
after being on long-term anti-psychotics .
. these medications work by inhibiting dopamine function,
and atrophying the brain cells that make dopamine .
. the key is to find dopamine enhancers,
and anything that "(exacerbates schizophrenia)
and then anything that promotes neurite growth .
. I'm combining mct, blueberry extract,
and LE fishoil with DMAE for neurite growth .
. yohimbine extract promotes dopamine use,
and L-dopa (Mucuna Pruriens extract)
promotes dopamine production .
. you may have a lot of research ahead of you:
beware high blood pressure, etc .
. if I think of anything else for attention deficit,
I'll be putting them on my
performance enhancers list .

the first ever Food Revolution Day

5.19: co.fb#applegatefarms/health/
the first ever Food Revolution Day:
A day to spread awareness and knowledge
about healthy eating!
Are any of you joining or hosting an event?
see vid.
me:
. thanks for supporting Food Revolution Day .
. the important thing with meat is
certifying no grains were fed,
unless the animal is a natural grain eater
(eg, grasshoppers, crickets, other insects)
. I would also want an annual sanity test
that included 3rd-party dioxin testing;
if the animal is sitting high on the food chain
(from being fish entrails for instance)
then this may show up in a dioxin test .
. for economics, I would start by
feeding organic grain to grasshoppers or crickets
and then try feeding pressure-cooked beans and insects
to the chickens for meat and eggs .
. not sure if grass-eating animals will eat insects,
but if they'll eat mouldy grain out of a trough
they might eat anything!
. until then, the only animal product I can trust is
whey protein isolate and eggland's organic best eggs .
(I actually have to do without organic eggland's in my area
but eggs are very important brain food
and low-sat'fats = low-grain fed .)
