Falling dominoes

Falling dominoes


Financial experts across 60 countries are publicly warning of the

impending global financial disaster. The world's politicians and the
governments they run have painted their economies into a corner after
decades of mismanagement and now there's no safe place to hide.

The dominoes will fall like this: the European Economic Union (EEU) has

run out of options. Servicing debt with debt is a losing proposition. It's
like flapping your arms wildly after you've fallen off the edge of the
Grand Canyon.

The EEU's demise will cause the cracks in America to widen until

everything tumbles into the gaping pit.

Massive trade disruption and lack of revenue will cause the Eastern

European, the Russian Federation and Chinese economies to collapse.

Africa will become a seething hellhole and Australasia will fall as well.

Another warning sign: New Zealand just had its sovereign debt downgraded.

Dead

Most of the world is broke. Dead broke. The stage after being dead broke

is just dead.

Countries that are self-sufficient in the Southern Hemisphere might fare

better than among them Chile, Brazil and Peru. The irony is not lost there,
however, as just several decades ago Brazil had a shaky economy hovering
near the bottom of the world's economies.
==================================================
Earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis, nuclear meltdowns..all fade into

insignificance compared to the coming whirlwind of financial Armageddon
many of the world's top experts see directly ahead.

Economic Doomsday some are calling it. And now they say it's literally

unavoidable. Starvation, collapse and death on an Apocalyptic scale.

Will it be as bad as the Great Depression or World War Two? Worse, say

many economists. Those events were a walk in the park compared to the total
economic collapse coming to scores of countries.

Multilevel Marketing (MLM)

Multilevel Marketing (MLM)

Many of you have probably heard of network marketing or multi-level marketing (aka, MLM). There are many legitimate MLM and network marketing opportunities (both online and off) that allow you to work as an independent agent brokering or selling someone else’s products or services. The problem with MLM is well-documented, however. Some networking marketing or MLM opportunities run afoul by placing the recruitment of other “down line” sales reps at the very top of their priority list rather than the legitimate marketing of their product. Down line recruitment is a cornerstone concept of MLM but should be more of an organically grown outcome that results from the sales of a great product. People buy the product, they love it and end up wanting to share their passion and enthusiasm for the product by selling it themselves. When down line recruitment is the primary focus of any MLM enterprise, you should approach it with extreme caution. There are a lot of tricky pyramid schemes disguised as legitimate MLM’s which are considered fraudulent in the eyes of the Federal Trade Commission.

If you are involved in what the FTC considers a fraudulent MLM pyramid scheme, losing all of your MLM investment might just be the least of your worries.
Again, it may not be totally obvious that any particular MLM enterprise is a scam. Some other tips for spotting not-so-legitimate opportunities include taking a look at the amount of money the company guarantees to pay you.

If you’re still unsure about the legitimacy of any of these aforementioned enterprises, at the very least you should check with your local Better Business Bureau for complaints and any other publicly reported information about the company that you are considering doing business with.

Significance of Anaerobic Digestion of Food Waste

Significance of Anaerobic Digestion of Food Waste
by Salman Zafar

Anaerobic digestion is the most important method for the treatment of organic waste because of its techno-economic viability and environmental sustainability. The use of anaerobic digestion technology generates biogas and preserves the nutrients which are recycled back to the agricultural land in the form of slurry or solid fertilizer. The relevance of biogas technology lies in the fact that it makes the best possible utilization of various organic wastes as a renewable source of clean energy. A biogas plant is a decentralized energy system, which can lead to self-sufficiency in heat and power needs, and at the same time reduces environmental pollution. Thus, anaerobic digestion of food waste can lead to climate change mitigation, economic benefits and landfill diversion opportunities.

Of the different types of organic wastes available, food waste holds the highest potential in terms of economic exploitation as it contains high amount of carbon and can be efficiently converted into biogas and organic fertilizer. Food waste can either be utilized as a single substrate in a biogas plant, or can be co-digested with organic wastes like cow manure, poultry litter, sewage, crop residues, abattoir wastes etc.

Food waste is one of the single largest constituent of municipal solid waste stream. Diversion of food waste from landfills can provide significant contribution towards climate change mitigation, apart from generating revenues and creating employment opportunities. Rising energy prices and increasing environmental pollution makes it more important to harness renewable energy from food wastes. Anaerobic digestion technology is widely available worldwide and successful projects are already in place in several European as well as Asian countries which makes it imperative on waste generators and environmental agencies to root for a sustainable food waste management system.

Nickel Cadmium Battery















Nickel Cadmium Battery

According to the Batteries Plus website, they recycle these types of spent batteries: “lead acid (Pb) batteries used in cars, trucks and emergency lighting, Nickel Cadmium (NiCd) batteries used in cordless phones, cordless tools and two way radios, Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries used in camcorders, bar code scanners and digital cameras, Lithium Ion (Li Ion) or Lithium Polymer (Li Poly) used in cell phones and laptops.”

This retail store has locations all over the U.S. and you can find a location near you to take the batteries mentioned above there and they actually do recycle them. And not “recycle” as defined by “throw into a hole in the ground…” What happens to some of our e-waste is the topic for another day. In any case, I wondered- “What happens to the batteries after I drop them off at their store?” It’s important to know if the common household batteries you bring in are actually recycled in the United States. Here are some important recycling questions to ask any place you bring items.

It turns out, batteries are sent out to a company by the name of Battery Solutions, Inc. or BSI. BSI is an approved recycling vendor that also supplies containers/boxes to anyone that wants one, in which you can put specific types of batteries. Then they are sent out to BSI under guidelines set by the DOT and EPA. The U.S. Department of Transportation tightened regulations for shipping batteries (because some of them caught fire during shipping). This is why the battery terminals need to be taped! On the BSI website, they also talk about what happens to batteries after they receive them! Success!
