Critical reception

The album received positive reviews from the music press. The Independent called it "an expansive and delicately arranged collection", saying it was "one of the most rewarding and unexpected pleasures of the year." NME, meanwhile, said, "It ain't rocket science: just the very welcome sound of a country boy made good."

In 2012, to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the album, Domino Records reissued it in an expanded edition. The ten-minute, non-album single "The Lang Toun" was added, along with a bonus disc featuring demos and a BBC John Peel session. Drowned in Sound said of the package: "Moving Up Country deserves to be remembered as one of the noughties' finest records, and with the help of these fascinating extra tracks, this reissue should see that become reality."

Ganna Design, the practice in charge of this apartment renovation, intended to give the house a clean yet cosy environment. Located in Taipei, Taiwan, the apartment provides its occupants – a family of four – an uncluttered yet playfully rich atmosphere to live in, winning a couple of awards for its designers along the way. Shall we take a look?
The apartment has been conceived as an open-plan living space around which the three bedrooms for the parents and their two teenage boys are then arranged. With large windows on two sides providing abundant daylight and breathtaking views of the city, the living room incorporates an open plan kitchen and a dining space thereby making it the family's hub.
Most of the furniture has been loosely arranged for the owners to re-configure at will. The six sofa-mattresses placed on the floor are central to this concept as they can be moved around or placed on top of each other according to their daily activities just like Lego bricks. The customized glass-case display behind the counter that features the boys' Lego collection enhances this overall sense of a sophisticated playroom, whilst a dramatic touch is added through the imposing dining chandelier and the dark curtains.
The master bedroom retains the overall toned-down shades seen in the living area, but is embellished by the light-blue patterned ceramic tiles that cover both the floor and walls of the open-plan en-suite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe.
The finishes the designers have chosen combine in their own words "the rough and the delicate" exemplified in the exposed concrete ceiling and the light colored, veneer flooring. Similarly to the living room, darker elements such as the iron-cast bed and the black chandelier above the free-standing bathtub provide darker shades and a taste of theatrical pizzazz in an otherwise modest apartment of understated elegance.

Gluten-Free Living > Gluten-Free Foods > Movie Theater Popcorn
Movie Theater Popcorn
Movie theater popcorn is one of my guilty pleasures. I have always assumed it is gluten free but wanted to know for sure. I hope I can continue to enjoy this treat when I go to the movies.
It's hard to resist the smell and taste of movie theater popcorn. The popcorn kernels themselves are, of course, gluten free. The oil and flavoring used to give them that unique movie taste were also gluten free in every case we checked. All Flavacol brand popcorn, oil and butter flavoring produced by Gold Medal Products, a major supplier to movie theaters, is gluten free. Todd Sunderhaus, flavor technologist for Gold Medal, said the company's manufacturing facility is gluten free and that all ingredients are checked for allergens. When it comes to gluten, the company has a zero tolerance policy, Sunderhaus said. Gold Medal does sell some products that contain wheat, including funnel cake and waffle cone mixes, but they are made by outside companies and stored in a separate room in the company's warehouse. "All the popcorn is gluten free," Sunderhaus said. "There is no issue or question about that." Several major movie theater chains also confirmed that their popcorn is gluten free. Regal Cinemas, the largest movie theater chain in the US, also sells pop corn with butter topping that is gluten free, according to marketing manager Richard Grover. Regal has 552 theaters in 39 states and Washington, D.C. The butter topping at all 350 AMC theaters in 30 states and Washington is gluten free, according to Sun Dee Larson, director of external communications. Likewise, the popcorn in all Cinemark theaters is gluten free, said James Meredith, vice president of marketing and communications. Cinemark has 289 theaters in 38 states. If the economy has you planning to watch more movies at home, you'll be happy to know that most microwave popcorn is gluten free. Read the label to be sure. If you really want to save money, you can buy regular popcorn kernels in a plastic bag for a fraction of the cost of prepackaged microwave popcorn. You can use the kernels to make homemade microwave popcorn simply by putting a quarter cup of popcorn and salt or other seasoning to taste in a plain brown lunch bag. Add 1 teaspoon of olive or vegetable oil. Fold the top of the bag over and staple it twice (No, the staple will not ignite in the microwave. You can also fold the top of the bag over twice and skip the staples.) Gently shake the bag and lay it down in the micro - wave. Set the time from two to three minutes depending on your microwave, but stay there and remove the popcorn when there are three to five seconds between pops. Some recipes for homemade micro - wave popcorn omit the oil, which would cut the fat content, but might also affect the taste. You can also make popcorn the oldfashioned way. Pour just a bit of oil into the bottom of a pot, add some popcorn kernels, put the lid on the pot and turn the heat to medium high. Shake the pan when it starts popping or the popcorn will scorch and burn. Stay near the stove. Turn off the burner when there are three to five seconds between pops and leave the top on for a minute or two so the kernels settle. If you are feeling a bit nostalgic try Jiffy Pop—it's gluten free. This is the brand that comes complete with oil and kernels already in an aluminum pan. I remember my parents making it on the stove when I was a kid and it seemed like sheer magic when the popcorn would bubble up into a big silver ball.

Interview with Barry Eichengreen, any requests?
By Benjamin Mitra-Kahn
Apr 9, 2011 |	Featured on History of Economics Playground |	History
We have been talking and video interviewing people at the conference, and we've narrowed down a small list of questions which we try to build on and have so far talked to Kenneth Rogoff, Brad DeLong, Ha-Joon Chang, Stephen Ziliak, Philippe Aghion, Jean-Paul Fitoussi, Barry Eichengreen and tomorrow we start with James Galbraith.
Barry was really good about giving us 10 minutes after four solid hours of interviews, so we skipped the camera and did it old school while stretching our legs in direction of the drinks reception. In that spirit I thought I would share the team questions and an initial draft (hey, it's late) of Barry's answers. Any suggestions for whom we need to grab tomorrow or Monday?
How has your teaching changed following the 2008 crisis – have you used history more?
I don't so much teach history, as I do history. History has a certain utility for economists and as such it is a long existing discipline! But I teach it differently to undergraduates and postgraduates. For the former I try to give an integrated picture of the 'world economy in the 20th century' (which is also the title of the course). For the graduate students it is more methodology and exposing them to empirical controversies.
Which work in economics the most impressed you?
I would have to be less sleep deprived than I am to fully answer that question [he came in from the west coast 24 hours ago –Ben], but as I can see O'Rourke there, I would point to his book with Findlay, Power and Plenty as a fine piece of work. Its overview and synthesis is real progress in Economic History.
How do you define progress in Economics?
There is no single answer to this, but I worry that while we have been good at exporting our models to other social sciences, we have not been very successful on the imports front. So I think inter-disciplinarity is a key, which is why I have taken a masters degree in History and acquired a Political Science appointment.
How do you change economics?
The key is in training the next generation. There has been a disappointment I think due to the lack of radicalism after what happened in 2008, but I am not that surprised because for these things to change you need a generational change. While institutions and history may be of interest to students, senior staff members are unlikely to change what they have been doing for a very long time. But you need to train people, encourage top departments to take them and then they will be this new generation.
Make no mistake, I think there are already good movements along this line, as evidence by the rise of empiricism in young economists. Empiricism is increasingly important, and so is the historical aspect. It seems to me that there are more outlets available in top journals – and we need to encourage that – like my student, Jeremiah Dittmar's paper – which looks at the printing press and technological change over time, and that's coming out in the QJE. So yeas, I think that is going the right way.

Hello everyone! My name is Sarah Allie and I am 16 years old. I love to play the piano and compose my own music. I'm not to good at writing the words to my music yet, but I am working hard to be the best I can. I also LOVE to dig into God's Holy word and find as much as possible about him. The more I find the more I love him.
I don't understand what happened. Everything was so perfect..until the day I slipped away from my heavenly father. I started wondering only about what the world thought of me, and the fact that I wasn't as pretty as some of my friends. The more I started thinking about these things the more I moved away from the real truth.
It does not matter what the the world thinks about how I look, because the LORD made me! He made me in his image..and he is more beautiful then anything anyone can imagine. I just want to go back into his loving hands. I know he loves me..and I know he will never stop.
Does anyone have any verses that can help me?
But when you leave I feel like I could die.
I really want you to be mine.
but for you...my love will never fade away.
We have KITTENS!!! It's really awesome! I will have some pictures up soon!!!
Today as I was sitting on my favorite swing I noticed my dog, Carmelle looking for a place to bury her new bone. As I watched her I came to the realization that a dog finding the perfect spot to bury her bone is the same as we humans trying to find a person to give our heart to. The only spot I have found that is safe for my heart is in the Lords hands. I know that with him my heart will never be hurt or used. We might get hurt sometimes and blame God, but we are the ones who have messed up, and have to answer to our sin.
A friend of mine let my sister and I borrow a book called Before You Meet Prince Charming. It is a great book for young teenage girls to read. It has helped me so much, and it has changed my way of thinking. Instead of having my thoughts on guys I now am thinking constantly about my Father in heaven. I don't have to worry about who likes me or who I will end up with when I know that God is my matchmaker and will bring me my prince when the time is right. While I am waiting for Gods timing and not my own I am going to be serving others as best as I can. I want to be completely ready for my prince when he is brought into my life.
May you all have a very happy easter. God Bless!
I don't really know what Good Friday is all about, but a friend has invited me and my sister to Good Friday at her church. They are putting on a drama! Dramas are so much fun. I wish the church I'm going to would have the younger kids do something for Easter. That would be sooooo cute.
Today my mom and I went shoe shopping for Grace's wedding and black shoes for tour. I found out that my shoe size is 5 1/2!!!!!! I thought I was sevens. Anyways... It was a total shock!!!
How in the world do I add friends? I so cannot figure it out. If you know.... PLEASE tell me.
Well, only a few more weeks till tour. This year is going to be hard. None of my close friends will be going. How will I survive??? Also on that trip I am going to be making one of the hardest choices in my life. Have you ever felt like the if you made the wrong choice in life that everything would just fall apart. Right now thats how I feel. I can't decide anything. Please be praying for me. I want to do God's will not mine.
This last Tuesday our choir met at a different church to practice because of Fairpark's remodeling.
Well, at that church the water is "nasty" so I asked my mom if she would take me and two of my friends down to QT to get those yummy drinks. Well, when we went back to the car we were very startled to find that the car wouldn't start, and it was 2:10. We only had 20 minutes to get back to the church. Mom told us to get out and walk back...... None of us have any since of direction. We got lost only taking a few steps. I guess God knew that it wasn't a good idea for us to try getting back by walking soo.... He sent one of the girl's Grandparents at the perfect time. Thank God they got there cause the crosswalk lights were broken. Well, once we got back to the church we told a couple people what had happened and a couple guys went down to help. Everybody was safe that day. God is AMAZING!!!!
For along time I have been in between piano teachers. My mom finally pulled me out of lessons cause of some issues. My fingers have been dying for the piano. They ache for lessons. I've been missing it SOOO much. Piano is one of my truest friends. I can poor every feeling into one piece until I get rid of all my hurt and pain. I thought I would NEVER find a piano teacher, but I have finally found a teacher. I am so excited!!! Now I can show someone besides my friends my songs that I composed and arranged. God is GOOD! I want to use my music for his glory. To tell others about his love, glory, and power. About all the pain he went through just for us. He did so much for us, and I will never stop praising him. He is my God and my King!
The reason why I called my site..."No Turning Back...from the ones I love."
A few months ago I was in the car with my sister heading toward church. I started thinking about God and how I thought I was a Christian, but the more I thought about it I realized I never had that feeling of peace. Feelings have always been important to me so when I didn't feel it I still felt evil and dirty. I finally asked Jesus to come into my life! I wanted to follow him so bad! Right after I said that prayer I felt this WONDERFUL Peace! I have never known such a wonderful feeling in all my life! When I made that commitment in my life there was no turning back. I can never go back to what I was before I became a Christian nor would I ever WANT to. I love the Lord with all my heart, and that is why I called my site No Turning Back.. from the ones I love.
2. You wouldn't want to have your favorite pie thrown at you without a wonderful, beautiful, delightful cherry on top.
3. Be sure and get a fork/spoon before they hit you.
4. Don't let them know that instead of hurting you by throwing that pie that they are really treating you to your favorite piece of pie.
Here is the last step. Follow closely!
5. BE SURE AND EAT your pie. After all, you are getting exactly what you deserve.


There is one post tagged UFRaw.
Until recently, the issues with FOSS and photo post processing was loss of data while RAW conversion, poor colour management, lack of 16 bit support etc.
Finally it seems Gimp 2.9 is addressing the 16 – bit issue which was until recently addressed only by CinePaint. Yes there are multitude of options like Photivo, Krita etc but IMHO if all these efforts are combined in building a better GIMP, RAW support etc things could have been better. Looks like too much of a freedom is not always the right way unless there is a guiding force.
Install RAW therapee & get an image ready.
The first error I came across was babl accessing a different process and can be fixed with a less "secure" kernel setting as shown below.
Keel in mind that this will be applicable only after restart & we can change proc values as follows.

Bees boss Frank fired up for derby day action
Brentford boss Thomas Frank is well aware of how much it would mean to Bees fans to get victory in tonight's derby against Queens Park Rangers.
Frank's side head into the clash at the Brentford Community Stadium undefeated in six games, including Tuesday night's 1-0 victory over Barnsley at Oakwell.
With just two goals conceded in those six matches, Brentford have rediscovered the defensive mettle that propelled them to within whisker of Premier League football last season, and look set for another assault on the upper reaches of the Championship table this time around.
And ahead of tonight's clash, Frank is aware of the attacking threat Rangers will bring but backs his defence to deal with the threat.
"We know it is a local derby and a big game for us, for the fans, and for QPR. Again this year, QPR look good on the eye.
"On their day they play some really attractive football going forward. We need to be aware of that and we need to defend very well.
"Ilias Chair is a key player going forward, Bright Osayi-Samuel is lightening quick, and Lyndon Dykes suits their team up front.
"We want the fans there every time but especially for a first West London derby in the new stadium, that deserves a full crowd. It will come one day and we look forward to that."
It's Time! Let's go @BrentfordFC ❤🤍#BrentfordFC #BREQPR pic.twitter.com/qF2newXk0g
— Bryan Mbeumo (@BMbeumo19) November 27, 2020
Despite heading into Friday's fixture unbeaten in six, only two of those games have resulted in victory for Frank's side.
Normally so proficient in sharing the goals throughout the side, the Bees have been overly reliant on the goals of strikers Ivan Toney and Marcus Forss up until now, with the duo netting 15 of the 18 goals they have scored in the league this season.
Bryan Mbeumo is one player who has struggled, with the Frenchman only mustering a single strike this campaign, compared to his 16 last season.
And Frank is keen to combat that aspect going forward, with the Dane eager for more players to get on the scoresheet to help the promotion push.
"It is a fact that others need to step up and score goals. We cannot only rely on Ivan Toney, or Marcus Forss coming off the bench, to chip in with goals," the Dane said.
"We need to have goals from our wingers. They want badly to score; it is not a lack of will, sometimes you are just in a spell where you struggle to get it over the line and into the back of the net.
"Also some of the Eights need to chip in with goals. They know that. We are working on it and it will come. We know they can score goals."

Q: Can I use a Kinect to track a robot on a 8'x6' wall? I have a lightweight robot that hangs magnetically from a metal wall. I am trying to track its position.
If the robot is 6"x6" (x4" deep), does the Kinect rangefinder have ample range and resolution to track it anywhere on the 8'x6' wall? If so, what kind of error should I expect?
I can't find any decent documentation on the hardware. If someone can link to some, I can crunch the numbers.

A: Yes, but using the Kinect will not significantly benefit you over another camera system.
The Kinect's RGB camera stores the 3 channels at 1280x960 resolution (source).  It is more then enough to pull out the data you need, but you may not require that high a resolution.  Also, a camera with just as high (or higher) resolution may be available for cheaper.
The IR camera, and depth information, would likely not yield any useful information for you since it sounds like your robot will always be against the wall.
With that in mind, the Kinect APIs (official, or 3rd party) will not give you anything.  These APIs expect a human and will process the information accordingly.  They can not track an arbitrary blob, unless you tell it how to (so, again... no advantage to using the Kinect).
You would ultimately need to use a library such as OpenCV to help in tracking the robot.  OpenCV doesn't care if you are using a Kinect or just a regular old webcam.
EDIT:
You could use the IR and depth data if your lighting conditions are variable.  The Kinect will absolutely be able to see the robot but, as mentioned above, none of the built in algorithms from the APIs will help you.  You can access the depth point data in a raw state to find and track the robot.  Because of the depth data, you can both "see" the robot as well as locate it by looking at the z-coordinate (e.g., assuming the robot is the only thing on the wall, any z-coordinate not equal to the wall is likely the robot).

But when he refuses to join the company's boxing team, he gets "the treatment" that may break him or kill him. First Sgt. Milton Anthony Warden knows how to soldier better than almost anyone, yet he's risking his career to have an affair with the commanding officer's wife. Both Warden and Prewitt are bound by a common bond: the Army is their heart and blood ... and, possibly, their death. In this magnificent but brutal classic of a soldier's life, James Jones portrays the courage, violence and passions of men and women who live by unspoken codes and with unutterable despair ... in the most important American novel to come out of World War II, a masterpiece that captures as no other the honor and savagery of men.

Despite the protests of his screenwriter father, he becomes involved in the movement, joining in on protests with the fervor of a man who isn & rsquo;t afraid to destroy his country & mdash;or his family. In The Merry Month of May, James Jones draws on his own experiences living in Paris and witnessing the 1968 revolts firsthand to create an unforgettable portrait of a society at war with itself & mdash;and torn apart by change. This ebook features an illustrated biography of James Jones including rare photos from the author & rsquo;s estate.
The merry month of May /
Akashic Books,. .
Paris. May. 1968. This is the Paris of the barricaded boulevards; of rebelling students' strongholds; of the literati; the sexual anarchists; the leftists -- written chillingly of a time in French history closely paralleling what America went through in the late 1960s. As the Revolution sweeps across Paris, the reader sees, feels, smells, and fears all the turmoil that was the May revolt, the frightening social quicksand of 1968.
The pistol
Richard Mast is a misfit in the infantry unit at Pearl Harbor. A bright mind in a sea of grunts, his only joy on the morning of December 7, 1941, is that today he has guard duty, which means he gets to carry a pistol. Usually reserved only for officers, the close-quarters weapon is coveted by every man in the infantry for its beauty and the sense of strength it gives the wearer. Mast intends to return the gun at the end of his shift--until the Japanese Navy intervenes.
The pistol /
University of Chicago Press,. .
Follows PFC Richard Mask during the first days and weeks of World War II in Hawaii, as he and his company move from Schofield Barracks to the beaches of Oahu, then to a remote mountain pass, and centers on the conflict over his pistol, a .45 caliber automatic.
The thin red line
Moves so intensely and inexorably that it almost seems like the war it is describing. (The New York Times Book Review). 'Is it really worth it to die, to be dead, just to prove to everybody that you're not a coward?' On Guadalcanal in the south Pacific, the soldiers of C Company are about to enter the war. The men know they face their baptism of fire. But none know if they will be one of 'the lucky ones' to make it safely off the island. From Captain Stein, who feels like a father to his troops, and 'Mad' Sergeant Welsh, condemning all nations while swigging gin from his canteen, to Private Bell, who just wants to get home to his wife, they will discover the line that divides sanity from madness, and life from death. A scathing critique of heroism, The Thin Red Line is among the greatest masterpieces of war writing. The men are real, the words are real, death is real, imminent and immediate. (Los Angeles Times).
The thin red line /
They are the men of C-for-Charlie Company--"Mad" 1stSgt. Eddie Welsh, SSgt. Don Doll, Pvt. John Bell, Capt. James Stein, Cpl. Fife, and dozens more just like them--infantrymen in "this man's army" who are about to land grim and white-faced on an atoll in the Pacific called Guadalcanal. This is their story, a shatteringly realistic walk into hell and back. In the days ahead some will earn medals; others will do anything they can dream up to get evacuated before they land in a muddy grave. But they will all discover the thin red line that divides the sane from the mad--and the living from the dead--in this unforgettable portrait that captures for all time the total experience of men at war.

Tested for you: Fragrance "Le Passant" from Ormaie
Written by Margit Rüdiger on 22. June 2021 . Posted in #me.
So far I just didn't like the scents of lavender because the smell always reminds me of my grandmother's linen cupboard. Old-fashioned, tidy, fresh linen, distinguished old lady were my associations from childhood. And most lavender scents also smell rather cheap and penetrating. Nevertheless I love the blooming lavender in my garden, but on my skin as a perfume, no thanks. Until recently I was able to sniff the "Le Passant" fragrance from the Parisian perfume brand Ormaie. It changed my mind. The brand is still new. The family business was founded in 2018 by mother Marie-Lise Jonak and son Baptiste Bouygues.
Dedicated to her husband
Marie-Lise actually dedicated the fragrance to her husband and father of her son Baptiste. He loved classic French perfumery and has used only one brand of a Fougère Cologne all his life. Fougère is a very classic fragrance composition with a French background. The accord of lavender, bergamot and germanium first appeared in Paul Parquet's perfume "Fougère Royale" for Houbigant in 1882 and became groundbreaking for men's fragrances. But "Le Passant", English passer-by, a woman can wear just as well, if not better. Because the flowery sweetness exudes a very specific sensuality. "It hints of a certain masculine sensuality", so the comment of the brand. Well, this is certainly not to every man's taste.
"Essence & Alchemy"
As long as there has been passion, there has been perfume. Mandy Aftel tracks in scent through the boudoir and the bath and into the sanctums of worship, and along the way teaches us the art of perfume-making, including many of her own recipes, offering insights on the relationship of scent to solitude, sex, and soul. 254 Seiten, 38,95 Euro*
A fragrance completely without synthetics
In any case, lavender-green freshness and the sweetness of vanilla and tonka beans mix with the earthy-woody aroma of sandalwood. And all without synthetics. Ormaie fragrances are 100% natural. Fits, because the name Ormaie means elm grove. But it wasn't just the content that won me over to the French brand. Each of the seven existing bottles is a work of art in itself. Designer objects that are far too beautiful to hide them in the bathroom.
The overall concept of the fragrance line pays homage to nature. The bottles are made from recycled glass by the French company Saverglass, which recycles its own glass. For the modernist closures, inspired by the Romanian-French sculptor Constantin Brâncuși, who died in 1904, recycled beech wood is used, which comes from French, sustainably managed forests. The caps are polished by hand. Each has a different shape.
The one from my favorite "Le Passant" is a green cube that matches the greenish content behind the transparent glass. The paper in the round cardboard box consists of 45% recycled paper and 55% environmentally friendly, FSC-certified fibers, which in turn contain 5% cotton fibers. The box is made in Italy and printed in Paris. All in all, I'm excited about the new fragrance brand. And "Le Passant" will probably not pass me by anytime soon.
"Le Passant" from Ormaie, EdP, 100 ml, 190 Euro

Stress can occur in products due to types of manufacturing that includes shrink-fitting, indentation, and processing. Because stress influences magnetic properties and iron loss properties, accounting for stress is necessary for accurate estimations of machine characteristics. JMAG can perform magnetic field analysis by considering stress distribution obtained by actual measurements and other simulation software by reading CSV file.
This document describes methods for accounting for stress distribution with CSV file.

As with the previous series on Saturn, it is recommended that anyone intending to read this series also read the articles on the Areas of Consciousness, which is to be found on this web site under Astrological Technique.
In the masculine or positive signs (Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius & Aquarius) its mode is initiating.
In the feminine or negative signs (Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn & Pisces) its mode is reactive.
These differences will condition the nature of the urge for freedom.
In the positive signs that urge is incentive, prompted by an awareness of possibility and of the pull from the plane of the soul. Those with Uranus in a masculine sign are full of enthusiasm and aware of the potential of the individual.
In the negative signs that urge is an impulse, prompted by an awareness of restriction and of the need to leave behind the limitations of the planes of the personality. Those with Uranus in a feminine sign are critical and aware of the social and cultural context.
The house or houses of which Uranus is the significator, because this will indicate the area of life that will be instrumental in the process of bringing the soul and personality into alignment.
Uranus is the natural ruler of the eleventh house.
When reading this article it should be remembered that esoterically, the organised group made up of conscious participants is the lower correspondent of the soul.
In the houses of universal consciousness, Uranus is working to free a person from a way of interacting with the group that can no longer serve his development.
a constraint upon the development and expression of individuality self-serving or too focused upon personality goals.
If the Sun is in one of the houses of personal or relating consciousness then there is a need for a person to emerge from the relative anonymity and security of the group in order to assume greater responsibilities for some aspect of self-determinism (houses if personal consciousness) or for his personal relationships (houses of relating consciousness). This can create a sense of vulnerability and exposure.
If the Sun is also in the house of universal consciousness then there is a need for a person to reorient so that through his conscious choices and willing commitment he is serving a cause which inspires him, rather than being dependent upon the group for a sense of security or identity.
The placement of Uranus in the houses of universal consciousness should remind us that developing individuality is a developmental imperative, and it is something that we have to emerge from the group to do. When at a higher turn in the spiral of developing consciousness we turn back to the group, it is with the means to make an intentional and creative contribution that will benefit the group and those whose cause it serves.
With Uranus in the ninth house, a person is ready to make the distinction between the spiritual and the religious and to free himself from form. A person with this placement is usually very resistant to being confined within one religious form. Frequently, especially in the younger years, there will be a lot of experimentation with different religious traditions, especially those which are significant different from those contained within the culture of birth, and from this experimentation will come an awareness of what, for that person, represents Truth. Later in the life a person with this placement will usually be following his or her own path, and removed from all kinds of religious organisation.
With Uranus in the tenth house a person is being freed from a reliance upon external authority and is likely to be fiercely resistant to authority figures, starting with the father. The attitude to authority may be anywhere in the spectrum between overt rebellion and quiet noncompliance but people with this placement will be resistant to hierarchy and bureaucracy which they perceive as erosive of individuality. Many people with this placement will move away from the country of birth (the fatherland) and most will change jobs and lifestyles frequently during the course of their lives until they feel that the outer structure of their lives is a true reflection of their values. Some will never find any structure within which they can live for long, so compelling is the need for freedom from any kind of social constraint.
The placement of Saturn and the Moon should provide insight in the nature of the past life constraints against which there is such a pronounced reaction in this lifetime.
In the eleventh house, Uranus is in its own house and the job that it has to do is to encourage discernment by making a person aware of what he does not want or like about group activity so that he is better able to recognise what is positive. People with this placement are usually very aware of and resistant to brainwashing and collective hysteria, and fear for their individuality in a group setting. But Uranus in its own house is aware that death and isolation are synonyms and will encourage a person to reconnect with organised activity on terms that are more acceptable to him.
The eleventh house is also the house of children after birth. (The eleventh house is the fifth from the seventh i.e., is concerned with the creative product of relationship). Parents with Uranus in the eleventh may have to go through a period of separation, sometimes enforced, from their children in order to regain their own sense of identity and to reinvest in their own lives.
The effects of Uranus in the twelfth house are subtle but the theme is still that of the need to separate out from the anonymity of the group. When the twelfth house is involved the restriction upon the individual in past life has been contained within the nature of the spirituality, which has discouraged a focus upon the separated self. The sign and position of Saturn and the Moon should provide further detail about the nature of the inhibition.
Owing to its subtly, a person with this placement may fail to bring the challenge to consciousness or cooperate intentionally with the developmental imperative, in which case they may go through life with a sense of sadness that their individuality is not strong enough to earn them recognition and attention but too strong to enable them to lose themselves and their pain in union, the knowledge of which they have. Because the twelfth house is involved the sadness remains a secret, as do other existential crises arising in the House of Pisces.
In next month's article we will focus upon the twelfth house and look again at this much-misunderstood place in the chart.

Research round up
High fructose corn syrup fuelling diabetes
High fructose corn syrup fuelling diabetes?
High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) made the papers again in November, with the Daily Mail declaring, "Syrup found in biscuits, ice cream and energy drinks is fuelling diabetes on a 'global scale'".
The story revealed that countries where large amounts of HFCS are used have diabetes rates that are "20 per cent higher" than countries where HFCS is less common.
This stemmed from a study looking at the link between diabetes levels and the availability of HFCS, which is used to sweeten a variety of processed food and drinks, but whose use varies widely between countries.
The study, by research teams at the University of Oxford and the University of Southern California, found that countries which produced and sold the most HFCS also had higher levels of diabetes.
Diabetes prevalence was 8 per cent in countries with high HCFS availability, compared with 6.7 per cent in countries with lower availability – a difference of around 20 per cent.
But it didn't show that people with diabetes were consuming more HFCS.
In the UK, consumption of HFCS is negligible (0.38kg per person per year), whereas in the US it's 65 times higher (24.78kg per person per year). Despite the alarming headline, the Mail's report was well balanced, and included a graph that revealed the vast differences in HFCS availability in different countries.
Diabetes UK says
This study doesn't prove that HFCS causes diabetes. For example, it does not show that individuals with diabetes consumed higher levels of HFCS or that this consumption was the key factor leading to their condition.
Dr Richard Elliott, Diabetes UK Research Communications Officer, said, "While this study is certainly interesting, further research is needed at an individual level to find out if HFCS consumption can cause diabetes.
"Diabetes UK is currently funding a study to assess the link between fructose and Type 2. Professor Loranne Agius, from the University of Newcastle, plans to identify exactly how fructose triggers the metabolic changes that lead to fat being stored in the liver (or 'fatty liver disease'), which is a common underlying cause of insulin resistance and Type 2 diabetes."

Pop was a soldier in the army, but he was not a violent man.
The same was true of my wife's dad: an outstanding athlete; he was in the Navy but was also a very gentle man.
Though they have been gone for years, we think of them all the time.. and remember them fondly.
We remember fallen soldiers like Gisela and Mimi… women of character who led vibrant lives and helped us shape our values..
…they are needed to help balance out men I think.
Kurt Vonnegut comes to mind… not sure which one of his books the thought comes from, I read at least five or six of them.
Referring to testosterone, he spoke of the later years as being like "getting down off a wild horse".

Farmers are concerned about looming tariffs on fertilizers
By AGDAILY Reporters Published: January 12, 2022
By Allexxandar, Shutterstock
A new economic analysis released today by researchers at Texas A&M University has corn growers raising concerns that pending tariffs on nitrogen fertilizers will create shortages and cause prices to increase even more for farmers, according to the National Corn Growers Association.
"As part of this study, we conducted a historical analysis going back to 1980 and found that fertilizer costs tend to go up when corn revenues increase," lead researcher Joe Outlaw, Ph.D., noted. "Notably, these prices tend to go up exponentially even after accounting for natural gas prices and higher demand."
The study notes that the price of one type of nitrogen fertilizer, called anhydrous ammonia, increased by $688 per ton — $86,000 for a 1,000-acre farm — from the end of 2020 through the end of October 2021.
The study has farmers raising concerns about a petition by CF Industries, one of the country's major nitrogen producers, with U.S. International Trade Commission to impose tariffs on nitrogen fertilizers imported from Trinidad & Tobago and Russia. The U.S. Department of Commerce has since released a preliminary finding recommending tariffs, despite strong outcry from farm groups.
"The proposed tariffs will create shortages and drive our costs up even higher," Iowa farmer and National Corn Growers Association President Chris Edgington said. "They will add insult to injury and impose a financial hardship on family farms."
This academic study verifies that nitrogen prices erode profitability for family farms, Edgington said.
"Our request is simple," he said. "We're just asking that these companies keep us out of their trade disputes, and they do everything possible to keep their products available and affordable for family farms."
The study was commissioned by state corn organizations in Texas, Missouri, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, and Wisconsin.
Facts and fallacies regarding artificial flavors, natural flavors, and spices


You can get your Medicare benefits through Original Medicare, or a Medicare Advantage Plan (like an HMO or PPO). If you have Original Medicare, the government pays for Medicare benefits when you get them. Medicare Advantage Plans, sometimes called "Part C" or "MA Plans," are offered by private companies approved by Medicare. Medicare pays these companies to cover your Medicare benefits.
If you join a Medicare Advantage Plan, the plan will provide all of your Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance) and Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance) coverage. This is different than a Medicare Supplement Insurance (Medigap) policy.
What do I need to know about Medicare Advantage Plans?
In most HMOs, you can only go to doctors, other health care providers, or hospitals in the plan's network, except in an urgent or emergency situation. You may also need to get a referral from your primary care doctor for tests or to see other doctors or specialists.
In a PPO, you pay less if you use doctors, hospitals, and other health care providers that belong to the plan's network. You usually pay more if you use doctors, hospitals, and providers outside of the network.
PFFS plans are similar to Original Medicare in that you can generally go to any doctor, other health care provider, or hospital as long as they accept the plan's payment terms. The plan determines how much it will pay doctors, other health care providers, and hospitals, and how much you must pay when you get care.
SNPs provide focused and specialized health care for specific groups of people, like those who have both Medicare and Medicaid, live in a nursing home, or have certain chronic medical conditions.
These are HMO plans that may allow you to get some services out-of-network for a higher copayment or coinsurance.
These plans combine a high-deductible health plan with a bank account. Medicare deposits money into the account (usually less than the deductible). You can use the money to pay for your health care services during the year. MSA plans don't offer Medicare drug coverage. If you want drug coverage, you have to join a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan.
You must have Medicare Parts A and B and live in the plan's service area to be eligible to join.
People with End-Stage Renal Disease (permanent kidney failure) generally can't join a Medicare Advantage Plan.
In addition to your Part B premium, you usually pay one monthly premium for the services included in a Medicare Advantage Plan. Each Medicare Advantage Plan has different premiums and costs for services, so it's important to compare plans in your area and understand plan costs and benefits before you join.
Medicare Advantage Plans must cover all of the services that Original Medicare covers except hospice care. Original Medicare covers hospice care even if you're in a Medicare Advantage Plan. In all types of Medicare Advantage Plans, you're always covered for emergency and urgent care.
Medicare Advantage Plans must offer emergency coverage outside of the plan's service area (but not outside the U.S.). Many Medicare Advantage Plans also offer extra benefits such as dental care, eyeglasses, or wellness programs. Most Medicare Advantage Plans include Medicare prescription drug coverage (Part D). In addition to your Part B premium, you usually pay one monthly premium for the plan's medical and prescription drug coverage.
Plan benefits can change from year to year. Make sure you understand how a plan works before you join.

Top 10 Airline Stocks To Buy
By Stefan Levy on	 September 24, 2020 Aerospace & Defense, Aerospace & Defense, Diversified Tech, Equities, Featured, Global, Inside Tech, Lists
Airline stocks have taken a severe beat down this year. Apart from tourism and hospitality, no other industry has been more devastated by the coronavirus pandemic. Most of America's airline carriers are down between 35% and 65% year-to-date. The government has intervened to save the sector from total collapse. The $2 billion CARES Act rescue bill approved by Congress and President Donald Trump in April included $25 billion in payroll cash grants and $25 billion in loans to the airline industry according to The New York Times. The bailout, which was created as part of an economic stabilization package, enabled airlines to pay workers. The recipient airlines also agreed in principle to cease repurchasing shares and paying dividends through September 2021.
Experienced investors know that the best time to buy is when the market is red. As we approach closer to the discovery of a vaccine, it seems there is a glimmer of hope for the industry as well as its investors. For more experienced investors, this may be the best time to place bets if you do not want to be chasing a moving train.
Here, we look at 10 U.S. airline stocks where investors should buy this industry's deep dip.
10. Alaska Air Group, Inc (NYSE: ALK)
Alaska Air Group (NYSE: ALK) has a market capitalization of $4.302bn. The stock's YTD performance through July 27) stands at -49.62%. Alaska Air Group (NYSE:ALK) operates 115 destinations now include Boston, New York, Orlando and other major cities across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. To survive during the pandemic, the company had to implement a company-wide hiring freeze and slash its executives' salaries.
The company has the advantage of being a regional airline, which means that it would see an upsurge in passengers and an upward trend in revenues before other competitors. The company's management is also skeptical of accessing bailout from the federal government because it does not want a huge debt on its balance sheet.
This may prove to be a good move in the long run because it would not have to fulfill huge debt obligations. Like its competitors, its expected recovery time is 2022.
9. United Airlines Holdings Inc (NASDAQ: UAL)
United Airlines (NASDAQ: UAL) currently has a market cap of $9.855 billion. The stock has also underperformed by the market by -63.87 percentage points for this year through July 27. In March this year, CEO Oscar Munoz and President Scott Kirby informed employees that the company was reducing its April schedules by 60%, with deeper cuts in May and June.
United Airlines incurred a loss of $9.31 per share, while its year over year operating revenues slumped by 87.1% to $1,475 million. Also, the company's year-over-year passenger revenues fell by 93.5%. Q2 2020 reports released in June showed that the company's cash burn averaged $40 million a day, including $3 million of principal payments and severance expenses.
Given its global footprint, United Airlines (NASDAQ:UAL) may take a longer time to attain its 2019 capacity. But that's already being priced into the stock, which makes it as good a buy as any airline stock. The stock is expected to rebound strongly in 2021, and sustain the moment into the following year.
The carrier's move to operate cargo-only flights in the face of declining passenger revenues paid off as revenues from the same surged 36.3% year over year. 2022 revenues are estimated to hover around $40 billion, close to 2019 levels, which were pegged at $43 billion. Like most of its industry counterparts, United's (NASDAQ: UAL) share repurchase program grinds to a halt, which suggests that $8 in EPS is doable by 2022.
8. JetBlue Airways Corporation (NASDAQ: JBLU)
JetBlue Airways (NASDAQ: JBLU) is an airline that has carved out a niche as a low-cost provider that includes perks such as personalized in-flight entertainment. The company has a market capitalization of $2.779bn. Before the coronavirus outbreak, New York-headquartered JetBlue Airways (NASDAQ:JBLU) handled roughly 1,000 daily flights to about 100 destinations. Like its competitors, it has also been affected by the pandemic, largely underperforming the market by -45.8 percentage points.
Operating revenues of $215 million plunged 89.8% year over year. Management stated that due to various measures undertaken to combat the current pandemic-inflicted crisis, the company successfully lowered its cash burn from $18 million per day, on average, during the second half of March to $9 million in May.
The average daily cash burn in the second quarter was $9.5 million, and the daily cash burn at the end of June was just below $8 million. This was achieved by grounding more than 100 aircraft and cutting its schedule by 70%.
The airline incurred a loss of $2.02 per share. This steep year-over-year fall was due to the 91.6% decrease in passenger revenues, which accounted for the bulk (79.1%) of the top line. Revenues from other sources declined by 39.7% to $45 million.
JetBlue Airways (NASDAQ: JBLU) is an ideal stock to buy because of its low-cost, domestic flight focus. As expected, with airlines focused on domestic flights, revenues and profits will recover and normalize with impressive speed over the next few quarters.
7.American Airlines (NASDAQ: AAL)
American Airlines (NASDAQ: AAL) has a market cap of $5.96bn. The stock has underperformed the market by -59 percentage points this year through to July 27. It is one of the airlines worst hit by the effects of the coronavirus pandemic. American Airlines (NASDAQ: AAL) is one of the recipients of the federal bailout funds, receiving $5.8 billion. The management plans to plans to apply for a separate federal loan of nearly $4.8 billion.
Prior to receiving help from the government, American Airlines (NASDAQ: AAL) had an unhealthy balance sheet of $21 billion in debt versus just $3.8 billion in cash and short-term investments. The company also drew down $2.73 billion from three revolving credit facilities to help pay bills in the coronavirus downturn. American Airlines incurred a loss of $7.82 per share compared to earnings per share of $1.82 in the year-ago quarter.
American Airlines (NASDAQ: AAL) says it is cutting more than 60% of international travel capacity, including stopping 80% of its Pacific flights. It's also delaying the start of several new routes. Analysts are bearish on this stock, most notably JP Morgan, from which it received a rare double downgrade from Overweight (the equivalent of Buy) to Underweight (the equivalent of Sell).
However, American (NASDAQ: AAL) is a big airline operator whose stock is in a position to head meaningfully higher over the next few quarters as improving growth trends converge on a significantly discounted valuation.
Driven by its cost-control initiatives, American Airlines (NASDAQ: AAL) slashed its cash-burn rate to roughly $30 million per day in June from $100 million in April. The company's cash-burn rate in the June quarter was approximately $55 million per day, comparing favorably with its previous forecast of $70 million per day. Also, it exited the same time frame with available liquidity of $10.2 billion.
Though profit margins would drop hard in 2020 and most likely would be on life support in 2021, a full recovery is expected by 2020. Also, while the company's buyback program essentially grinds to a halt, its share count in 2022 will be roughly equivalent to its current share count. Under those assumptions, American Airlines (NASDAQ: AAL) may be netting about $3.50 in EPS by 2022.
6. Spirit Airlines (NYSE: SAVE)
Florida-based Spirit Airlines (NYSE: SAVE) has a market capitalization of $950.2 million. The company is renowned for its low-cost, no-frills approach to flying. Its business model is hinged on offering super-low fares. But this did not prevent the stock from having a dismal performance.
The company's YTD (through July 27) performance stands at -65.6%. It is one of the stocks which received a double downgrade from JP Morgan from Overweight to Underweight. Considering the fact that the company's attorneys said the airline is in "survival mode," this hardly comes as a surprise.
Spirit (NYSE: SAVE) came out with a quarterly loss of $3.59 per share. This compares to earnings of $1.69 per share a year ago. This quarterly report represents earnings of -32.96%. Spirit Airlines (NYSE: SAVE) posted revenues of $138.53 million for the quarter ended June 2020. The company has about $1.1 billion in cash against nearly $2 billion in debt. This is not a bad balance when you compare it to other airlines such as American (NASDAQ: AAL). The company has had to discontinue flights to several cities to cut costs and hemorrhage its cash burn, which is about $10m daily.
Even though its financial year has been dismal, the company is a darling of many retail traders. This is one reason why the stock is expected to see an upsurge in prices once the economy starts to function properly. Spirit (NYSE: SAVE) was one of the airline stocks that witnessed exponential growth in the market around June, before the downward trajectory of the sector. Its primary strength is its cheaper flight costs, which analysts believe would propel the stock to profitability quickly, but not before 2022. With coronavirus affecting demand significantly, low fuel prices are expected to have partly offset the adversities.
5. Azul S.A. (NYSE: AZUL)
Azul S.A. (NYSE: AZUL) may seem to have come off worse off than most airlines on this list. No government funds to bail them out of their predicament, because they are a Brazilian company. Also, its home country brazil has been severely hit by the coronavirus, much worse than the united states. Azul S.A. (NYSE: AZUL) currently has a market capitalization of $1.407bn, while its Year to date performance through July 27 stands at -72.5%.
However, despite the demoralizing indices, Azul S.A. (NYSE: AZUL) may well come about much better than expected. The company expects to peak 400 daily departures by the end of this year. Both domestic, as well as international demand and supply, increased on a month-over-month basis. Moreover, consolidated load factor (% of seats filled by passengers) inched up since consolidated traffic demand was more than the capacity expansion.
Consolidated traffic (measured in revenue passenger kilometers or RPKs) surged 43.6% on a month-over-month basis. Apart from a 27.8% rise in international traffic, the metric soared 47% on the domestic front, thereby bumping up the overall figure. Consolidated capacity ( which is measured in available seat kilometers) spiked to 37.1% owing to 43.9% and 9.7% growth in domestic and international capacity, respectively, from the past month levels.
Moreover, the company is adding six new destinations to its routes, thereby increasing its customer base. This implies that rather than taking a somewhat defensive approach like its competitors, the management is looking to benefit from the opening of the economy within the shortest time frame. This is sure to boost investor confidence and spur a wave of bullish sentiment on the stock. Azul S.A. (NYSE: AZUL) believes that bookings would increase by 290% by 2020 Q2.
4. Southwest Airlines (NYSE: LUV)
Based in Dallas, TX, Southwest Airlines is a passenger airline that provides scheduled air transportation in the United States and 'ten near-international' markets. Incorporated in 1967, Southwest Airlines (NYSE: LUV) currently has a market capitalization of $19.173bn. The stock YTD (July 27) performance stands at -42.2%. To adjust to the current economic situation, Southwest Airlines (NYSE: LUV) has had to cancel 1,500 daily flights. The company undoubtedly is the best airline stock to own now.
The company has a consistent track record of profits and a healthy balance sheet prior to the outbreak, Southwest Airlines (NYSE: LUV) was one of the most financially healthy stocks. Southwest Airlines (NYSE: LUV) had more than $4 billion in cash and short-term investments versus just $1.3 billion in debt. It is no surprise that its shares have fared better than the competition. The pandemic may be a long-term opportunity for Southwest (NYSE: LUV) to gobble up share once normal travel resumes.
The company would recover quicker than its counterparts, most probably by 2021. This is because the company is focused on domestic travel, which would rebound well before international travel. In 2019 alone, the company realized $22.4 billion in revenue, a figure it could replicate by late 2021 if the vaccine falls through.
3. Hawaiian Holdings, Inc.(NASDAQ: HA)
Hawaiian Holdings (NASDAQ: HA) has a market capitalization of $605.164m. The stock's year to date performance through July 27 is -55.1%. To trim down its workforce and reduce its cash burn, the management is proposing some measure of voluntary action such as early retirements.
Hawaiian Holdings (NASDAQ: HA) came out with a quarterly loss of $3.81 per share versus the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of $3.72. This compares to earnings of $1.23 per share a year ago. This quarterly report presented an earning of -2.42%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this parent company of Hawaiian Airlines would post a loss of $1 per share when it actually posted a loss of $0.74.
Hawaiian Holdings (NASDAQ: HA) is one of the airline companies that qualified for the government bail-out. Based on its valuation, Hawaiian Holdings (NASDAQ: HA) qualifies for a 360m loan. However, the decision on how much would be drawn from this loan facility would be taken by September according to a statement by the company's CEO Peter Ingram in an interview with CNBC.
This raises speculation that the company may not want to incur much debt and maintain a healthy balance sheet. Though its YTD passenger travel fell by 16.3%, Hawaiian Holdings (NASDAQ: HA) expects to startup flights to its North American routes on August 1. The airline will be operating an average of 252 weekly flights connecting Hawaii to the U.S. mainland and 114 daily flights within the Hawaiian Islands.
While the company may not be able to pursue international flights, the early start of domestic flights would bring up the company's revenue, which is estimated to pick up by 72.3% by 2021, implying that the stock has a lot of room to grow. Purchasing the Hawaiian stock now means you would be paying a reasonable price for it.
2. Delta Air Lines (NYSE: DAL)
Delta Air Lines (NYSE: DAL) has a market cap of $16.718b. Its YTD (July 27) performance stands at – 56.5%. Prior to the coronavirus pandemic outbreak, (NYSE: DAL) operated more than 5,000 flights to more than 300 destinations around the world, a figure which seems like a distant past.
Delta Air Lines' (NYSE: DAL) March revenue plummeted by $2 billion year-over-year, and the company is currently burning more than $60 million in cash every day. The company's shares are trading at their lowest levels since 2013. Even Warren Buffett, seems to have lost faith in Delta Air Lines (NYSE: DAL) as he cut Berkshire Hathaway's (NYSE: BRK.A) stake in the stock by 18%.
However, there is still reason that Delta Air Lines (NYSE: DAL) would attain its pre-COVID levels. As one of the world's largest air carriers, the stock is too cheap to ignore. This means that there is a lot of room for the stock to grow.
A fundamental rebound in air travel would offset this year's shortcomings, following a strong recovery process starting from 2021. Delta's (NYSE: DAL) ability to generate cash flow in normal times should help the stock in its recovery.
1. Mesa Air Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: MESA)
Mesa Air Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: MESA) currently has a market capitalization of $113.68M. The stock's year to date performance through July 27 stands at -63.5%. The company's block hours declined 68.6% in May due to reduced schedules during the COVID-19 outbreak.
Mesa Air (NASDAQ: MESA) came out with $0.05 per share for the quarter ended March 2020 compared to earnings of $0.46 per share a year ago. The company also posted revenues of $179.90 million for the quarter ended March 2020 against revenues of $177.15 million.
The company has consistently topped analyst revenue estimates two times over the last four quarters. Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions.
Based on this premise, Mesa Air (NASDAQ: MESA) is a good stock for momentum investors because it has a lot of room to grow after the pandemic is worn out.

The Ford Model U is the new Model T, at least according to the automaker. First introduced in 2003, the Ford Model U is an SUV that burns hydrogen in its supercharged internal combustion engine.
The Model U uses a 2.3-liter, I-4 engine, the same as the Ford Ranger of that year, only modified to run on hydrogen gas.
The engine is supercharged and super-cooled and rated at 151 hp. The Ford Model U is able to achieve gas mileage of 45 MPGe (miles per gallon equivalent) and has a range of 300 miles.
When Ford introduced the Model U, it stated that the SUV was 25-percent more efficient than the typical gasoline-powered engine. Ford didn't go it alone in building the Model U, however as it partnered with many other companies to make this vehicle happen.
For instance, the Ford Model U hydrogen tanks are from Dynatek, the hydrogen-optimized fuel injectors from Quantum and the software and electronics programming is from no other than Sun Microsystems.
But, the Ford Model U stands for "unique" and with good reason. Besides the high-tech hydrogen technology, the Ford Model U utilizes eco-friendly materials and processes to manufacture many of the components for the vehicle.
As an example, the Goodyear tires are corn-based creations. In addition, the canvas roof and autopet mats are also based upon corn biopolymers.
But, as corny as this vehicle is, there is perhaps more soy to be found in the Ford Model U. The tailgate and side panels are made from soy-based resins. Soy is also the secret ingredient in the foam for the seats. And, the University of Northern Iowa, whom one may associate with corn, actually came up with a soy-based grease for the vehicle and Shell Global produced the vehicles' oil from sunflower seeds.
While many manufacturers talk about coming out with green autos, the Ford Model U is so green that its at least partially edible. The utterly delectable Ford Model U, like the Model T many years before it was also built for assembly line production.
The only thing Ford will need to worry about, however is the line workers grazing upon the components. Part of the cradle-to-cradle process that Ford adapted to manufacture components for the Model U uses a polylactide or PLA that is actually a nutrient to the soil.
So, no longer will autos sit in landfills for years without ever degrading, but they will become part of the Earth and actually nourish it along the way. And, this nourishment will of course grow more corn, soybeans and sunflowers in which to manufacture more Ford Model U's. Now, this is quite a cycle, now isn't it?
