Ideas to stop the darn leak!

Excerpt~ "Hello America, where are all the brilliant people? We have gone to the moon and back, not once or twice, but several times. We have created the tiniest technological gadget that can talk and see images of our friends and relatives thousands of miles away across the other side of the world. We have successfully replaced the human heart with artificial heart. Why can't we deal with a 5″ leaking pipe 5,000 feet in the subsea? I cannot comprende!" ~End Excerpt ________________________________________________________ Appetite Suppressant:  "Diet Magic"  http://www.symmetrydirect.com/HEAVENLYHANDS Holistic Health and Wellness We the People JUNE 7, 2010 Ideas to stop the darn leak!  LeoJin After 45 days, millions of dollars of technological resources use, with tens and thousands of experts and volunteers had only led BP to utilize top kill, top hat, inserting smaller pipe to siphon oil. No success in stopping the leak. Now they are hopeful that the new strategy of cutting and capping will work. It’s first time, so we are facing the risks of even bigger spill. Let us all hope and pray that this will work. What if it doesn’t? Any suggestions? That’s at least what our team leader would usually do when we exhaust and fail all means to resuscitate a victim from cardiac arrest. How about combining Surgical Strategies with advance engineered materials, American Engineering and NASA expertise. I’ll explain my take on this on the “My Take” portion. Looking at all the strategies implemented, I haven’t really seen any effective efforts to plug the darn leak! When someone is bleeding…we focus our efforts more in stopping the bleed. Makes sense? Hello America, where are all the brilliant people? We have gone to the moon and back, not once or twice, but several times. We have created the tiniest technological gadget that can talk and see images of our friends and relatives thousands of miles away across the other side of the world. We have successfully replaced the human heart with artificial heart. Why can’t we deal with a 5″ leaking pipe 5,000 feet in the subsea? I cannot comprende! Let the people speak their minds out…it don’t matter if it’s ridiculous. There is a very serious consequence affecting everyone’s future with this catastrophe. Darn! What will happen to the clams and shrimps? They’re my favorite. But seriously there are livelihoods that are in jeopardy here. You think the mortgage meltdown have hit us hard? Think about the fishing industry, tourism, environment. There’s more jobs and businesses that are going to be affected here. We must get our minds together and share ideas to help out. I’m sure some of us can contribute to the solutions. Maybe the BP leadership and US Gov. will take some common sense strategies and incorporate the ideas we share into their plans, who knows? Here’s my take. I’ve work in the medical industry for years, I have witness and learn a great deal of respect to the skills of our surgeons working with the intricate details of mending damage tiny organs and vessels using only the images seen on the screen. The Surgeons use engineered gadgets inserted into the body with a tiny puncture. It’s called Laparoscopic Procedure or minimally invasive surgery. They locate the target using ultrasound. Slither in the probes and fiber optic cable like a snake and attack the system with a laser like guided precision. All this is done while the entire body system circulation’s fully functioning, of course with the assistance of the anesthesiologist — but in some cases just a local anesthesia where the patient is completely awake and aware of what’s happening, the pain is controlled only by numbing medicine. Imagine an auto mechanic working on a car with the engine running? That’s why surgeons get paid that much. Here’s how it gets interesting related to the oil pipe leak solution. I’ve seen these skilled professionals poke, cut, remove, connect, stop bleeding, insert something inside (coiling, stenting, etc.) all done from the outside with such precision the percentage of error is very minimal. Recovery is 10 times faster than open surgery. Now that’s a technological strategy that they can use to mend that “darn leak”. The technology is here, the material is available. We already have a material that actually mends underwater. It may not have been tested as deep as 5000 feet but it surely can be formulated to adjust and work under such circumstance. Here’s an excerpt… Specialist engineering company Furmanite International Ltd. says it is now offering a unique undersea repair service thanks to a new material from Hyperlast Limited that cures in water to provide a totally effective seal. The method was first used in January 1995, and since then, repairs to oil and gas pipelines have been carried out at depths down to 180 meters. “Furmanite is alone in offering a service that designs, sources materials, manufactures the parts, trains the divers and takes responsibility for completing the repair,” said Furmanite materials technologist Paul … Integ Pipeline Services – is another company that produces AQP4 Curing Agent. This is a highly modified “5-minute” type repair compound formulated for strength and versatility under adverse field conditions. AQP4 Curing Agent is so tolerant of wet conditions that it may even be used underwater or to repair wet, leaking pipes. AQP4 Curing Agent adheres strongly to steel, copper, PVC, geicoat, galvanizing and most other engineering materials. AQP4 Curing Agent is supplied in pre-measured pouches for convenient single applications or in larger containers for easy 1/1 ratio multiple repairs. Here’s the link to their website… http://www.integpipelineservices.com/skins/integ/homepage.aspx?elid=282 Isn’t that promising? I’m sure they’ve been contacted or perhaps the company might have offered their expertise already. But the chance of success will be much higher with collaborative efforts. Combining the resources with experts like Surgeons, Engineers, NASA Scientist and we the people, suggesting, monitoring (and cheering)…this darn leak can be stop at once. Here’s the scenario. Now that we have the skill of a surgeon to deliver the substance, in this case the Hyperlast Material or AQP4, into the broken pipe, just as they would perform a Laparoscopic procedure (5000 feet away), guided only by images (real time underwater video camera). Working alongside engineers that are experts in metal and pressure calculations, utilizing fiber optic cable to reach the target or a remotely controlled equipment use by NASA Scientist and Engineers during the maneuvering of Mars Rover. A couple of options that can be done. They’ve tried pumping the mud to plug the broken pipe, unfortunately it didn’t work. Simply because the material disintegrates when expose to liquid. Why not pump in an expandable absorbent material instead? There is a highly absorbent material that expands as it absorbs oil or liquid. Similar to what they use as an absorbent nasal packing to stop the nose bleeding. It works like a tampoon (for lack of a better description). It goes in dry and thin, comes out expanded. The material can be introduce as a dry pellet substance via high pressure injection through a one way valve cylinder tubing inserted to the leaking hole pushing the absorbent material inside the pipe and into the inner chamber. As it gets push back out by the gushing oil pressure it’ll expand while absorbing the oil. This will eventually expand into a large ball, big and strong enough to cover the exit hole preventing the oil from escaping. By this first approach the leak should have stopped. They now reinforce the absorbent plug with a semi-liquid curing agent, AQP4 or Hyperlast Material (whatever works). In similar manner, inject the AQP4 via a high pressure injector, this time no drilling on the thick hard pipe, but instead, through the absorbent plug and push it into the pipe as a thin layer allowing it to expand as it gets push back out by the oil pressure to reinforce the strength of the absorbent material. They now have a double strength plug inside the pipe. To guarantee that the leak will remain contained, a malleable metal or AQP4 can be easily applied to wrapped around outside the busted pipe held down by a compression clamp. Some might say it’s easier said than done. Of course it is! In reality nothing is easy when it comes to execution of the plan…bottom line is, whatever works to shut the darn thing! Let those robotics do the dirty job of mending the pipes down on the sea floor. Question is, are they willing to try or even listen? C’mon smack that pride out of the way…let’s just plug the pipe and move on. There is no reason why we can’t remotely control a subsea depth of only 5000 feet. We managed to remotely control the Mars Rover millions of miles away from the Earth. This is where the NASA expertise will come into play. I’m no scientist…but I play with logic. Hmmmm…yeah, I might have role played it before. What’s your take? Wouldn’t it be nice if we just share our ideas instead of blaming and bashing? If you are not from United States…your comment and suggestions are welcome. Let’s save the insults and negative feedback for tabloid magazines and showbiz…we only have time to read inputs that makes sense here. If you have nothing else better to say…keep it to yourself. Thanks and good luck to all. My prayer goes out to those who are directly affected by this disaster. Joel Comments : 1 Comment » Categories : Uncategorized Fix the root cause — not the symptoms! 13 02 2010 Let’s start by taking a look at what the situation is in Germany and the industrialized nations for nutrition and let’s see what the German Association for Nutrition says: “You should eat 5–7 servings of fruit and vegetables a day to have a basic supply of the most important vitamins and minerals and nutrients.” And this is just a basic supply covering our basic needs, without a safety margin. Obesity is global concern according to World Health Organization. Obesity is a form of malnutrition prevalent even in industrialized nations. Why is that? Let’s investigate. In Germany, the average intake is 2.2 portions of fruit and vegetables. To meet the recommended daily allowance you would have to eat 750 g to 1 kg of fruit and vegetables to have enough trace elements and minerals in your nutrition. Ask yourself this question. “How many servings of vegetables and fruit do I eat every single day?” “Do I have the 5–7 servings?” Even if you would do this, you would not guarantee that you had all of the nutrients in your nutrition; today in our nutrition, we do not have the amounts that we had in former years. In a study conducted by the renowned Schwarzwald Institute in Germany, a comparison was made between nutritional values of fruit & vegetables from1985 and 2002. The results were alarming with a deficiency of 12% and 95% in nutritional value. For example: in a strawberry, there was a decrease of 87% in vitamin C during this time. So even if you eat enough servings of fruit and vegetables, it does not mean that you have everything in the fruit & vegetables. The pollution, the dried-out soil, the way we transport the nutrients; all of this are the reasons why we don’t have enough in it. And then there are vitamin and nutrient thieves like stress, excess alcohol consumption, medication, narcotics abuse and nicotine. Another good example is the contraceptive pill, it takes away nearly all of the B vitamins for a women, that’s B1, B2, the folic acid, the vitamin B12, vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin A. Antibiotics can also lower the nutrients and vital substances in our body. So, how does an optimum nutrition look like? The basic should always be a well-balanced basic diet. Lots of fruits, vegetables like salads, high-quality protein from vegetable and animal sources, grain product such as cereals, but mainly fruit and vegetable salad. Experts report that even in the industrialized nations, the average person consumes only 2.2 servings a day, compared to 5–7 servings a day as recommended. So there are gaps in the supply, and then there’s reduction by medication, stress, and another notorious culprit – smoking, active or passive. There is a very urgent need to close the gaps, and this is the reason we came up with FitLine products. The FitLine products have been developed for an optimum supply of nutrition. Created with technologically advance formula NTP and NGP to close the gap of supply and demand in our body. Fitline is a targeted nutritional supplementation, which supplies us with individualized optimal nutrition with a number of different advantages. What makes Fitline Products different from the rest of Natural Supplements available in the market today? In effectiveness. It’s the patented technology called NTC (Nutrient Transport Concept). Develop and perfected for 11 years. NTC is designed for maximum and rapid absorption of nutrients into the cellular level. Utilizing the nature’s mode of transporting nutrient through micelles (tiny fat droplets surrounded by water). Micellized is a naturally occurring process in human body. A scientific term use to describe the transformation of minute nutrients making it capable of entering into semi-permeable membranes, to the circulatory path and directly into the cellular levels of the body. Basic Powerhouse in our system Attacking the root cause of the problem! Nutrients, vitamins and minerals are large molecules that need to be broken down into tiny form before it can pass through a semi-permeable barrier such as our GI-System. That’s why it takes time for most food nutrients to get absorb. When this nutrient are nano-micellized – broken down into its tiniest size – and encapsulate with water, the result will be water solubility (dissolves in water). NTC makes it 3-5 times better and faster absorption of nutrients possible. Guaranteed High Potency Fast Absorption Fitline products are water soluble highly absorbable micellar form. Absorption is the movement of molecules across the gastrointestinal (GI) tract into the circulatory system. Most of the end-products of digestion, along with vitamins , minerals, and water, are absorbed in the small intestinal lumen by four mechanisms for absorption: (1) active transport, (2) passive diffusion, (3) endocytosis, and (4) facilitative diffusion. Active transport requires energy. Fitline products are unique products developed in the industry that provides the fat-soluble nutrients, vitamins A, E and Beta-Carotene along with Vitamin C, Vitamin groups B1,B2,B6,B12, Brown Algae, Niacin (B3), Folic Acid, Pantothenic Acid (B5), Biotin, Natural Guarana Extract, Natural Glucose in a stable, water-soluble (water-mixable) highly absorbable micellar form. In addition: • 32 Different type of Plant Enzymes • 9 Soluble & Insoluble Fibers • Probiotics • Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) • Antioxidants (Vitamin A,C,E) • Trace Element Selenium A major factor considered with fat soluble nutrients is bioavailability, the degree to which a substance or nutrient becomes available to the target tissue after administration. The body may not absorb these nutrients readily for a variety of reasons. The following are only some of the reasons: Improper Pancreatic Activity Limited Bile Production High Fat Diets Aging High Fiber Diets Regardless of the reason for decreased bioavailability, if the fat-soluble nutrients are supplied in micellized form (tiny fat droplets surrounded by water), the nutrients readily absorbed more efficiently. Micellization is the unique process which enables fat-soluble nutrients to be converted into stable water-soluble micelles. These micellized forms have been scientifically proven to have a greater systemic absorption, and tissue uptake than corresponding oils, other powder, pills, and emulsion preparations. Consumer’s absorption generally increased 3-5 times greater compared to other preparation. This is due primarily to the formation of the very small droplet size, 0.5 microns, as compared to emulsified forms, 10 to 20 microns or oils, 50 to 1000 microns. The smaller the micelle, the better solubility in water, therefore better absorption into the hepatic portal system, and the more efficient water-base transport system of nutrients. Without micellization, fat soluble nutrients are absorbed as large globules mainly by the lymphatic system, a less efficient transport system. Fitline products provides the fat-soluble nutrients, vitamins A, E; Beta-Carotene; and water-soluble vitamin C in a stable water-soluble, highly absorbable micellized form. It provides the antioxidant nutrients which the body needs to help protect itself from excessive damage due to free radical exposure. Free-radicals are chemically reactive entities produced in the body by: The Breakdown of Peroxidized Fats Radiation Ozone Interactions with Lipids The Attack of Oxidizing Agents on Fatty Acids (particularly unsaturated) Inflammatory Responses Cigarette Smoking Free radicals are molecules that damage our body. They are unstable because they are missing an electron. To become stable they must find the missing electron. Doing so, free radicals will steal electrons from cells. That leads to damaging our cells in a variety of ways. Antioxidants are those nutrients which combat the action of free-radicals by either quenching them or stimulating the body’s own antioxidant mechanism. Nutrients in particular that has antioxidant property includes: Beta-Carotene and Vitamin A, Vitamin E and Vitamin C. Numerous medical studies provide evidence for the antioxidant properties of these nutrients. Here are some of the relevant summaries: Beta-Carotene is a precursor of Vitamin A found in foods of plant origin. It is a powerful antioxidant and one of the most effective inhibitors of the destructive “singlet oxygen”. Beta-Carotene is believed to enhance the immune system, playing a key role in preventing a variety of degenerative diseases. Vitamin A is known to affect almost every tissue in the body and to have a key role in a variety of body functions and processes. Vitamin A is important in the visual cycle, and in protecting the skin, mucous membranes, stomach and lung linings and most connective tissue between and around organs. It is a particularly efficient scavenger of free radicals generated by cigarette smoke, chemical fumes and air pollution. Vitamin E is one of the most effective antioxidant nutrients. It reacts with free-radicals preventing them from oxidizing polyunsaturated fats, Vitamin A, various enzymes, and cell membrane constituents. In forestalling oxidative damage, Vitamin E increases the stability of cellular and intracellular structures, particularly mitochondria, liposomes and ribosomes as well as cell membranes themselves. The structure and function of blood platelets is also influenced by Vitamin E. The aggregation of platelets is limited by Vitamin E via its action in modifying platelet membrane fluidity and reducing adhesiveness. This reduction can significantly reduce the risk of cardiovascular problems. Vitamin C is an antioxidant that primarily works in the soluble portion of cells. Vitamin C and Vitamin E have been shown to exhibit a complimentary action. It is an immune system stimulant, particularly important in the manufacture of white blood cells, antibodies and adrenal hormones. Optimum tissue stores of Vitamin C help maintain resistance to infection. The significant role of Vitamin C in cementing the ground substance of supportive tissue makes it a substance agent in wound healing. This has evident implications for Vitamin C to be used in the overall defense mechanisms of the body. Proper collagen synthesis helps maintain the integrity of the skin and tissue linings providing a barrier to bacteria, viruses and other organisms. Finally, any body stress…injury, fracture, general illness, shock…calls on Vitamin C tissue restoration ability. This is indicated by the large concentration of the vitamins in adrenal tissue.
