About “Tips”:
While I’m mostly interested in things having to do with:
Making money, usually via trading
Weather and climate
Quakes, Volcanoes, and other Earth Sciences
Current economic and political events
(often as those last three have impact on the first one…)
And just about any ‘way cool’ interesting science or technology
If something else is interesting you put a “tip” here as you like.
You can also look at the list of “Categories” on the right hand side and get an idea of any other broad area of interest.
This ought not to be seen as a “limit” on what is “interesting”, more as a “focus list” with other things that are interesting being fair game as well.
The History:
Note that “pages” are the things reached from links on the top bar just under the pretty picture. “Postings” are reached from the listing along the right side of the articles.
Since WordPress has decided that comments on Pages, like the Tips pages, don’t show up in recent comments, it kind of breaks the value of it for me. In response, I shifted from a set of “pages” to a set of “postings”. As any given Tips Posting gets full, I’ll add a new one.
I have kept the same general format, with the T page (top bar) still pointing to both the archive of Tips Pages as well as the series of new Postings via a link to the TIPS category.
This is the next posting from prior Tips postings as they had gotten so large it was taking a long time to load. Same idea, just a new set of space to put pointers to things of interest. The most immediately preceding Tips posting is: https://chiefio.wordpress.com/2016/12/02/tips-december-2016/.
The generic “T” parent page remains up top, where older copies of the various “Tips” pages can be found archived. The Tips category (see list at right) marks Tips postings for easy location.

I think it is best to view Syria in the light of what Putin said. He said, roughly, “We stopped the Color Revolutions at Syria”.
Soros has sponsored a series of Color Revolutions with the intent to break strong Nation States. You can’t have a global non-national structure built with lots of succeeding dictators and self centered populist nationalists running around… so he had his fellow travelers (aka Obama, Clinton, etc.) set out to eliminate them (or at least mess them up so much they were seen as a failed model).
Thus the ‘take downs’ ranging from Libya to Egypt to Ukraine to… an attempt in Syria, where Russia ‘caught clue’ and pitched Soros and his NGOs out and issues an international arrest warrant. THAT was the moment Russia became the Big Evil instead of an “Emerging Market Democracy”… (Anyone else remember the flood of US companies running off the the ex-USSR as they were suddenly ‘our friends’?…)
IMHO, the ‘playbook’ was to slowly absorb the Eastern Europeans into the EU, establish one global Muslim World, then merge those two with pushing how Muslims were just a sort of Christianity Lite… all while flooding North America and Australia with a mix of immigrants to break the cultural gel there too. In a final stage Merge them into the pot (via the likes of NAFTA, TPP, CETA, Paris, etc.) with “free movement of ‘services'” and the requisite people…. Once things are all one mush, declare the Nation obsolete and the UN as super-government… kinda like the EU structure.
So the House Of Saud and their fellow Sunni were “on the inside” and the Shia were “on the outside”… how to fix that? Thus the Iraq war and then the Syrian war (takedown of the ruling Shiia in Syria so the Sunni rebels get to run the place as majority). Basically putting the majority in charge as in all good democracies where you want the tyranny of the masses to rule… to then justify the non-Democratic overlord to ‘keep the peace’.
But Russia pissed in that pot and stopped it. Thus they must be demonized and made the outsider evil empire again.
Now Brexit and Trump are in the same mold. Folks bolting for the exit from this Globalist Non-Nation Trap. Expect HUGE pushback on them. Brexit will be subject to legal manipulation and delays, hoping to call another (more ‘managed’) vote. The longer it takes to invoke, the higher the risk it will never happen as “the game is afoot”. Trump is getting the full scorched earth destruction thrown at him. He must be made a ‘failed president’ to discourage others…
IMHO, it’s a full on war-by-other-means and our real allies are those trying to escape this attempt at Global Empire.
In that context, it’s easier to see why Syria is just a pawn, and why a Russian vs USA backed pipeline matters. It is just a MacGuffin and cover for the Globalist vs Nations big story and a ploy to make an “us vs them” parable.
At least, that’s my view on it as of now. (Work in progress…)
Agreed on the “Community Organizers”. However, most of them do not have the requisite knowledge. However, some Government bureaucrats do. I would not be surprised to see another IRS-Gate from this.

Embedded in the comments we have this nice little video.

Trying to see if square brackets will suppress expanding to the full video.
The Video in an href link by The Mod ;-)
Great video above, the lecture focuses on the reasons computer based models are inherently limited in resolution and cannot predict future climate behavior in any useful human time interval.
It would take longer than the life of the universe to just compute a simple high resolution model at sufficient resolution to capture all thermodynamic motion of the air (ie turbulence)
Key points
Navier-stokes equations have no absolute solution
Machine epsilon – computers do not have infinite resolution to math problems (minimum quantity that the computer can handle and it sees as identical to zero)
Resolution – nyquist limit (he does not use the word but implies it that the sample resolution must be fine enough to resolve the fine detail of the process)
A second very interesting video talking about the reliability of the models vs their accuracy.
(ie the uncertainty on the graphs are the variance of the model projections – their precision, but says nothing about their accuracy or reliablity)

Cliff notes summary, the climate models are completely useless and unfit for purpose as their internal systemic errors propagate much faster than any CO2 forcing and they tell us precisely nothing about future temperatures as CO2 levels change.
The temperatures they project have no physical validity.

Thanks for the input or the ME E.M. Ya, I see the competing oil flow in the context of globalism vs nationalism. ( Any Nationalism) From my first readings of one- world lunatics I knew their plotting as pipe dreams, destined to create conflict. To imagine that large nations, and blocks of nations would submit to the globalist is delusional. China, Russia, India, really everybody is in it for their own game, and that is expected by rational folk. Yes, rational people have the capacity to realize their gain is potentially greater if others prosper as well. Altruism guided by wisdom is conducive to long term growth. However the application of that wisdom can never be forced, and deciding who the enforcers are, well that is the rub. ( Obama and the current UN action against Israel is a good example of attempted force, leading to ever more agressive resistance.) The wisdom of “The global citizen” can thrive just fine in sovereign nations true to their culture, allowing others to visit, but maintaining a national identity. Their are many beautiful colors in this world, but mixing them all results in a diluted mess, fit to inspire none.
So how do “globalist” aquire such naivete? Is it born of arrogance, nurtured in academia? Why are they so blind to the inevitable bloody end of their one-world domination plots?

This is almost funny (if it were not so pathetic) a cyber security company did some forensic analysis of the information in the recent government announcement that was supposed to show the “finger prints” of Russian government hackers in the DNC hack. Turns out the malware the government claims is the fingerprint of a nation state intelligence cyber hacking group from Russia was an out of date publicly available PHP hacking tool that anyone can buy on the web.
Although if you try to buy it today, you would get a more modern version.

Hey sabretoothed! As for the Greenland Viking settlement, you might be interested in this book: http://www.lulu.com/shop/gunnar-thompson/victorious-queens-champion-prince-henry-sinclair/paperback/product-22182112.html I just recently read it, and was surprised by the number of historical records suggesting that the Western settlements were relocated to Vinland in the later part of the 14th century, but the residents continued to refer to their new home as “Greenland”. This explains the numerous records of timber, grain and furs being received in Northern Europe from “Greenland”.
As for the Podestas, there is something seriously creepy going on there.

I am sure E.M. has a window on all this, but the question it brings to mind is what is the end state these changes will bring?

Hi EM, this is more of a question than a tip. I have ~9 MB of zipped files from my EdGCM installation that I can forward to you. How do I do it? Can I use your Paypal donation email address?
@Larry – I think these might be a cheap and effective way to screw with facial recognition software.
@C.D. Quarles:
Yes. Pub numeral4 all atsign aol DOT com no-spaces.
@Paul ID:
I’m working up a posting on it. Short from: It depends on which Pi, what OSs you like, and how many I/O gizmos you need. Pi is about a wash on speed, Pi 2 beats it, Pi 3 beats it a lot. Beagle Bone has more I/O and works better with gizmos. Pi 2 or 3 is better at graphics and as a desktop.
@Another Ian:
Not heard of it. I’ll take a look (likely in a couple of days…)
@Sabertoothed:
Yup. TOR is on a big growth binge. At some point, I’m going to set up a TOR Relay node. As of now I’m firewall blocked… I need to get my IDS / IPS pumped up first…
@H.R.: Nice one!
@Larry: Interesting… so I’m not the only one thinking about it ;-)
FWIW, the ear is enough to identify a person and a lip print has been used to convict… but for general facial recognition, it mostly depends on some key lines. It needs to detect eyes and preferably pupils, so simple dark glasses are the first step. Then hair and head size /shape, so a hoody or hat is next. ( I have started training myself to wear a hat, but largely due to lack of hair causing me to burn in summer and be cold in winter ;-)
Ear muffs or long hair over the ears (need something for summer…) and a scarf covering the chin also help.
Now, with makeup, if really into it, you can paint on false eyes on your cheeks ;-)
I’m thinking a market will arise for plastic stick on eye and nose images…
Noses are a bit harder, but some lines on them can confuse the image parsing, or use H.R.’s method ;-)
Oh, and if really into it, applying one of those medical filter masks over the nose / lips pretty much seals the deal, and if challenged you just give a big Aaaaahhhh CHOO! and express your concern for public health…
When driving, I now ALWAYS have the visor at full down. I only drop my position just enough to see the lowest traffic lights. Slide the seat back as far as possible. Be careful with this one, though, as I once didn’t notice that the green had gone red. The up high lights were green as the visor covered them, then the side one slid behind and at that very moment, the red left turn went green… Unfortunately, it did the same for oncoming traffic as my light (now blocked) went red. So I now watch for that “all I see is green but that may mean read, so take a peek below the visor”…
I also need to get a Florida Window Tint on the side windows…
It might also be fun to start a trend of wearing Obama or Trump masks in public ;-) Claim it is ‘political speech’ so protected …
Basically this kind of big blocky sunglasses:
https://www.amazon.com/Pro-Optics-Sun-Shield-Sunglasses/dp/B000S6WZIQ/ref=sr_1_2/154-0631618-5259434?ie=UTF8&qid=1483556403&sr=8-2&keywords=medical+sunglasses
with one of these hats:
https://www.amazon.com/Mysuntown-Trooper-Trapper-Hunting-Windproof/dp/B015E0E3AI/ref=sr_1_5?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1483556498&sr=1-5&nodeID=2474937011&keywords=hat+with+ear+flaps
and you are pretty much set…
One approach which may keep you less identifiable to facial recognition, but which does not make you visually memorable for humans around you, is the infra red ball cap. Most CCD cameras are fairly sensitive to IR. A standard ball cap may be modified to include IR LEDs on the underside of the bill, pointing toward the wearer’s face. People around you will notice nothing unusual, but CCD cameras pick up a washed out image with much less detail viewable.
Probably not a good idea to wear your cap if you go out hunting rattlesnakes… :)

@ Larry, continental drift and ocean configuration changes the climate? Say it isn’t so. /sarc. Of course it does, for it changes the local weather first, gradually mostly, but potentially abruptly, too.
There was a time when I liked both National Geographic magazine and Scientific American magazine. That time is now decades ago. Sad, but they only have themselves to blame for that.

Hey Larry! “Internet, repeat after me: the plural of “anecdote” is NOT “data.”
I have very mixed feelings about that statement… For instance, in 1803 when farmers told members of the French Academy of Sciences that they had witnesses stones falling from the sky, were their stories just anecdotes, or were they data?
Obviously, yes, anecdotes may be true or false, they may be verifiable or not, they may be somewhat believable or less so. The same can be said about scientific data. The big difference is the size of the error bars. Generally, if you hear a story of personal experience from a stranger, that story is going to have really large error bars; maybe it is true, maybe not, maybe somewhere in between — who knows? Those who are credentialed as scientists are merely strangers who have purportedly been trained to tell stories with smaller error bars. A REAL scientist (as opposed to a merely “credentialed” scientist) is a stranger who actually tries to make the error bars of his story as small as humanly possible, and to transmit accurately whatever he has observed and experienced, to whomever he is telling it do. A great scientist is a real scientist who tries to honestly find out “why”.
If anecdotes and data are different, they are only different in the same way that a single stick has two ends.

True glaciation is not the power to destroy human civilization, on the contrary, is to help mankind to dominate the Earth’s power.

Given the attacks on Russia by Obummer and the rest of the Stompy-feet, it is interesting that this is where one of Putin’s chief economic adviser ended up.

I am attempting to work out why Hillary Clinton is running to be Mayor of NYC.
Off the top of my head I would suggest it is to keep her Clinton Foundation funding stream active. Now that both Bill and Hillary are out of any political office and the opposite party completely controls the House and the Senate, she has no influence to sell. If she gets into the Mayors office she can continue to skim funds for favors done in NY.
Thanks Larry. I had not factored in the Clinton Foundation but that will surely be central. Me and my short attention span (:

“Mayors from scores of the world’s biggest cities gathered in Mexico Wednesday to plot their strategy for fighting climate change in the face of skepticism from US President-elect Donald Trump.
As leaders of busy, polluted cities home to millions of people, they want countries to push on with adopting the so-called Paris Agreement to limit harmful emissions — an accord that Trump has cast doubt on.
“In the aftermath of this election there’s never been a more important time for those city leaders to stay on course — the whole world is counting on them,” said Clover Moore, mayor of Sydney, Australia.”
And I found this:

Mayors and city councils are responsible often for water and sewer and other vital local services. Also can be quite involved in schools. It looks to me like HRC is starting a new Coven. Of Mayors.
This could be a possible link from the Clinton Foundation to Mayors and anyone potentially connected to Schools and Education in our cities:

Downside — yes, we’ll probably get more cold weather.
Upside — maybe the researchers can answer the questions about the deficiency of the solar neutrinos emanating during these solar events.

China continues to move toward super power status. This item talks about the Chinese “Jin” class ballistic missile submarines.
http://tammybruce.com/2017/01/new-chinese-submarine-can-strike-us-w-nukes.html
Although this shows that they have a long way to go to catch up to the US and Soviet Nuclear sub systems. These boats (and their recent effort to claim most of the south China sea as home territory do make them a legitimate strategic threat. Once they improve reliability and learn to quiet their boats it will be a different game.
http://www.military-today.com/navy/jin_class.htm
If however they really are as noisy as the old Soviet Deltas, they would not survive long in a shooting war in the open ocean. In the 1970’s we knew where all the Soviet Deltas were almost from the moment they left the docks, and our modern very quiet fast attack subs would not have to work very hard to take them out.
Their newer longer range missiles do present a rising threat to the US as they can range the whole of North America from home territory with both their sub launched and new generation missile systems.
Got to remember the Clintons provided the Chinese with the machine tools and software to recreate the American’s silent submarine propellers during the Clinton administration…pg

US Intelligence Community predicts where Russia is headed in its Global Outlook prognosis.
A very interesting (long) and detailed summary of U.S. Military strength and obligations plus a detailed discussion of challenges currently limiting operations in Europe and other theaters.
Puts a lot of info in context (some of it makes little sense out of context but when viewed with a wider lens the puzzle makes more sense).
NATO has entered a state of neglect which makes it extremely vulnerable to aggressive moves by Russia should it choose to make such a move. Logistic issues like lack of ammunition stocks would largely neuter much of NATO’s ability to rapidly and effectively respond to a ground offensive, along with a lack of political will to maintain viable military structures has created an enticing window of opportunity which might induce Putin to do things he otherwise would not risk.
Until some of these issues are fixed NATO is a paper tiger unable to serve its original defensive mission for member countries against outside attack.

Yes that appears to be a natural marriage with 3D printing where you could print a scaffold for the gyroids then plate it with graphine and then dissolve away the scaffold. Would be hard to do it cost effectively on a massive scale but for something which puts high priority on strength to weight ratio it might work.
In a sense these are a next step evolution of the honey comb structure it looks like to me.

@Glenn999:
Nope. Sadly my book reading the last couple of years has been technical or work related. Recreational or social topic related restricted to shorter stories or articles.
Of course the one unknown/unknowable issue with power fail battery packs and UPS setups, is just because your home systems have power, no gurantee that the data link to your house will remain live.
I understand that cellular phone systems are required to have a battery backup of about 24 hours so in the immediate phase of an emergency local phone systems will work. If they lose connection to the home office supposedly the cell sites will go into “island mode” where you will still be able to send calls/text messages to other phones served by the same local cell site.
In the case of internet connections (ie cable/fiber) how long if any battery power do internet providers typically have? This would include fiber repeaters and other infrastructure necessary to get outside the power fail zone other than using cell phone systems for wifi connections to the greater internet..
Looks like I need to do more research on where this stands, for cell sites getting adequate backup power installed was still a work in progress as of 2007. Second link below is from 2014, and they are still trying to sort out proper power planning guidelines.

Interesting item on large low profile botnets laying silently in wait for what?
Perhaps for triggering during a cyber attack on some person place or thing?
Given the size it could give the appearance of a huge ground swell of support for something if properly activated in a timely fashion.

In the category of unintended behavior of technology. This would be funny if it did not open the door to some major down sides from voice recognition. Like an amazon echo that like the Manchurian candidate does something really destructive when it hears a key phrase.

A couple notes – flywheel energy storage – – not going to happen, bearings would last about 10 minutes in high sea state conditions as the gyros rip themselves apart.
Lithium Ion “energy storage” cabinets, will be as dangerous as an explosive magazine if they suddenly short due to weapons damage or flooding, voiding all the advantages of moving to weapons systems which do not depend on explosive warheads.
Will be interesting to see where these high energy lasers go in the next decade now that they have a handle on most of basic challenges of the technology and are in the scale up to adequate power part of development.

@Sabertoothed:
I don’t know exactly when it happened, but sometime in the last year or two bread has gone back to potassium iodide and dropped the bromide.
Somebody has started to get clue…
“I ,Robot”
Captcha no more.
Let’s make this like a poll.
Let’s say a lady had a hysterectomy because they said she had endometrial carcinoma. At the time, they said there was a low chance of its return, but they want to have the lady come back every few months for a couple years.
At the time of surgery, they said the cancer had not made its way even half-way through the wall of the uterus and they felt no need to even remove lymph nodes for testing. No chemo or radiation was “required”. You could say symptoms began about 6 years previous.
Now there is a return appointment scheduled for about the 10-month-post-op mark. The lady doesn’t want to go because healing has gone well and no symptoms remain. The lady’s parents died from cancer TREATMENT.
The lady’s mom was diagnosed with inflammatory carcinoma ( form of breast cancer that doesn’t form lumps) and fought hard to remain positive and complete the conventional, destructive treatment protocols. The lady’s mom worked at her job until 2 weeks before she died. The thing that happened 2 weeks before she died was that they had her come back for a scan and told her the cancer had metastasized to her brain. They started doing radiation on her brain. She died in about 2 weeks.
The lady’s dad was diagnosed with a glioblastoma stage 4 and had surgery. They removed a cyst and a tumor, each about the size of a large tomato. The dad did not go home, but died in less than 2 months, unable to speak and living in a nursing home.
The lady has a dependent who is a junior in university. The lady is the sole support of the university student. Additional medical charges would be hard to handle, since both university expenses and medical expenses are consuming large chunks of the budget.
What would you do if you had to make a decision about whether to keep the appointment or cancel it?
A) Keep the appointment. You want to know if they find anything else. You want them to continue treatment if they want to.
B) Keep the appointment, but reserve the right to refuse treatment, no matter what they say.
C) Cancel the appointment and RUN AWAY! They will just keep dragging you back in and doing things to you until you finally die.
D) Other (What, in particular, would you do?)

I think there is some fake science in the fluoride research. The Anglo countries have fluoridated water, and I think combined with the demonization of the iodine use it may be the cause of much problems in the population?
In any case, the level of iodine consumption needs to me increased in the population of fluoride water drinkers to 50-200mg a day especially in females. :P
It clearly causes the TSH to change…
The fact that you had to have like 20 lectures a year on dentistry every year over and over that fluoride is so amazing suggests that there is something to hide?
In the 1920s and 1930s Fluoride was used as an anti thyroid drugs in quite low dosages, but it was ceased because in some patients it destroyed the whole thyroid lol
‘Fluoride was used as a drug to treat hyperthyroidism because it reduces thyroid activity quite effectively. This is due to the ability of fluoride to mimic the action of thyrotropin (TSH). Excess fluoride correlates with the other thyroid-related issues such as iodine deficiency. Fluorine and iodine, both being members of the halogen group of atoms, have an antagonistic relationship. When there is excess of fluoride in the body it can interfere with the function of the thyroid gland. Thus, fluoride has been linked to thyroid problems. Patient who wish to avoid the effect of fluoride on their thyroid can utilize fluoride free toothpaste such as Carifree, an oral neutralizer gel.’https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3169868/

Scientific Facts on the Biological Effects of Fluorides
Fluoride exposure disrupts the synthesis of collagen and leads to the breakdown of collagen in bone, tendon, muscle, skin, cartilage, lungs, kidney and trachea. A.K. Susheela and Mohan Jha, ” Effects of Fluoride on Cortical and Cancellous Bone Composition,” IRCS Medical Sciences: Library Compendium, Vol. 9, No.11, pp. 1021-1022 (1981); Y. D. Sharma, ” Effect of Sodium Fluoride on Collagen Cross-Link Precursors,” Toxicological Letters, Vol. 10, pp. 97-100 (1982); A. K. Susheela and D. Mukerjee, ” Fluoride poisoning and the Effect of Collagen Biosynthesis of Osseous and Nonosseous Tissue,” Toxicological European Research, Vol. 3, No.2, pp. 99-104 (1981); Y.D. Sharma, ” Variations in the Metabolism and Maturation of Collagen after Fluoride Ingestion,” Biochemica et Biophysica Acta, Vol. 715, pp. 137-141 (1982); Marian Drozdz et al., ” Studies on the Influence of Fluoride Compounds upon Connective Tissue Metabolism in Growing Rats” and “Effect of Sodium Fluoride With and Without Simultaneous Exposure to Hydrogen Fluoride on Collagen Metabolism,” Journal of Toxicological Medicine, Vol. 4, pp. 151-157 (1984).
Fluoride stimulates granule formation and oxygen consumption in white blood cells, but inhibits these processes when the white blood cell is challenged by a foreign agent in the blood. Robert A. Clark, “Neutrophil Iodintion Reaction Induced by Fluoride: Implications for Degranulation and Metabolic Activation,” Blood, Vol. 57, pp. 913-921 (1981).
Fluoride depletes the energy reserves and the ability of white blood cells to properly destroy foreign agents by the process of phagocytosis. As little as 0.2 ppm fluoride stimulates superoxide production in resting white blood cells, virtually abolishing phagocytosis. Even micro-molar amounts of fluoride, below 1 ppm, may seriously depress the ability of white blood cells to destroy pathogenic agents. John Curnette, et al, ” Fluoride-mediated Activation of the Respiratory Burst in Human Neutrophils,” Journal of Clinical Investigation, Vol. 63, pp. 637-647 (1979); W. L. Gabler and P. A. Leong, ., ” Fluoride Inhibition of Polymorphonumclear Leukocytes,” Journal of Dental Research, Vol. 48, No. 9, pp. 1933-1939 (1979); W. L. Gabler, et al., ” Effect of Fluoride on the Kinetics of Superoxide Generation by Fluoride,” Journal of Dental Research, Vol. 64, p. 281 (1985); A. S. Kozlyuk, et al., ” Immune Status of Children in Chemically Contaminated Environments,” Zdravookhranenie, Issue 3, pp. 6-9 (1987)
Fluoride confuses the immune system and causes it to attack the body’s own tissues, and increases the tumor growth rate in cancer prone individuals. Alfred Taylor and Nell C. Taylor, ” Effect of Sodium Fluoride on Tumor Growth,” Proceedings of the Society for Experimental Biology and Medicine, Vol. 119, p. 252 (1965); Shiela Gibson, ” Effects of Fluoride on Immune System Function,” Complementary Medical Research, Vol. 6, pp. 111-113 (1992); Peter Wilkinson, ” Inhibition of the Immune System With Low Levels of Fluorides,” Testimony before the Scottish High Court in Edinburgh in the Case of McColl vs. Strathclyde Regional Council, pp. 17723-18150, 19328-19492, and Exhibit 636, (1982); D. W. Allman and M. Benac, ” Effect of Inorganic Fluoride Salts on Urine and Cyclic AMP Concentration in Vivo,” Journal of Dental Research, Vol. 55 (Supplement B), p. 523 (1976); S. Jaouni and D. W. Allman, ” Effect of Sodium Fluoride and Aluminum on Adenylate Cyclase and Phosphodiesterase Activity,” Journal of Dental Research, Vol. 64, p. 201 (1985)
Fluoride inhibits antibody formation in the blood. S. K. Jain and A. K. Susheela, ” Effect of Sodium Fluoride on Antibody Formation in Rabbits,” Environmental Research, Vol. 44, pp. 117-125 (1987)
Fluoride depresses thyroid activity. Viktor Gorlitzer Von Mundy, ” Influence of Fluorine and Iodine on the Metabolism, Particularly on the Thyroid Gland,” Muenchener Medicische Wochenschrift, Vol. 105, pp. 182-186 (1963); A. Benagiano
Yeah Potassium Chloride has a lower LD50, its more dangerous, its used for executions in USA :P But you should have celtic sea salt to make sure you have sodium.
That’s the basic problem, why there is high BP, people eat too much sodium compared to potassium, you don’t need to reduce your sodium, that’s crazy, you need to increase your potassium and then the sodium will not be a problem. The Democrat lets reduce salt to zero is crazy, and also reduces Iodine even more…
The Potassium bicarbonate is not as bad. Its used in wine making and can be easily obtained :)
I’ve been using cream of tartar 1/4 to 1/2 a teaspoon twice a day, its very acidic have to use a straw, so got some potassium bicarb its a bit more friendlier :P
Human body uses temperature to suppress pathogens (why get fever when there is an attack), hence when cold from low thyroid (iodine) then normal organisms can attack the body

I just blend “no salt” at about 1:4 into regular table salt in the salt shakers. Tastes great and works fine wile boosting K intake.

China continues its march toward strategic parity with Russia and the US, they recently tested MIRV technology with 10 warheads per missile which implies that their nuclear stock pile is considerably larger that commonly assumed.
http://freebeacon.com/national-security/china-tests-missile-10-warheads/
Also in the mix for increased strategic risk is the ongoing friction between Pakistan and India.

@Larry, looking at your last two points, someone once suggested nuking China, and making it look like India did it… (hmm, maybe it was Pakistan that suggested it?)
It would make a lot of folks darker. ;-)
