<content:encoded><![CDATA[<ul>
<li>Science and religion</li>
<li>Science and legal</li>
<li>Science and physics</li>
<li>Science and politics</li>
<li>Science and not-science</li>
</ul>
<blockquote><p>Science + politics = physics</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>Legal unit + a legal language to manipulate legal units = A legal system</p></blockquote>
<p>The legal unit of physics is the physical quantity. The legal language used to manipulate legal units is called Mathematin.</p>
<blockquote><p>Physical quantity + Mathematin = Physics</p></blockquote>
<p>The most important question that faces a criticism of academic physics is that physics appears to work.</p>
<p>Physics successfully describes the "physical" world, physicists claim.</p>
<p>Physics started as a reaction to the 18th century problems and it's still stuck there. Because as a legal system physics must carry from generation to generation an immense legal baggage that continually grows. In science, what is found to be junk is dumped. In legal systems the junk is glorified. This is common knowledge e.g., in <a href="http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/1988/lederman-interview.html">this video</a> Leon Lederman talks about an 18th century physicist coming to our time and being shocked by everything except physics education. He would feel at home in a physics classroom.</p>
<p>One of the 18th century issues was the relation of science and religion. The Newtonian whig version of history of science defined a historical item called Scientific Revolution that was done against religious doctors by Galileo and friends. In fact, Galileo and friends revolted against Doctors of Philosophy not against Doctors of Theology. They were against scholasticism and against professional doctors whose faith was Aristotle.</p>
<p>Such a problem does not exist anymore. Religion is no threat to science. But the same professional Doctors of Philosophy are still a threat to science. Today they call themselves not Peripatetics but physicists.</p>
<p>Today religion is clearly labeled religion and consumers are free to believe in it or not.</p>
<p>The opposite of science is not religion. The opposite of science is legal.</p>
<p>Legal includes law, medicine, religion and physics.</p>
<p>Science starts with the realization that axioms are independent of mechanics. Mechanics is the legal. The mechanics of Ptolemy could save both axioms of stationary earth and moving earth. Professional doctors make their living and gain their authority by claiming that their mechanics is the true mechanics that saves the axiom. Physicists still stuck in this pre-scientific state. They still claim that Big Bang is saved by observations.</p>
<p>The mechanics parts of physics will work. This is what mechancics means. Mechanics is curve fitting. It's curve fitting in the sense that algorithms are adjusted, fine-tuned and new terms and processes and units and constants and physical quantities are added until the mechanics successfully saves the phenomena. It took Newtonian mechanics about 200 years of the best minds of European scholasticism to develop and perfect. It's hard to think that Newtonian mechanics was once the cutting edge of research in physics. Now it's textbook stuff and it's closed for questioning. It's become mechanics. It works. It is consistent.</p>
<p>Mechanics is modular. Physicists continue to work on modules that are still open. Open means that the module has not yet been made consistent with the rest of physics. Usually, it is enough to make a module consistent with a legal node. Since physics is consistent you can reach any node from any other node. But physicists have been trying to unify three inconsistent parts of physics for a long time. So there are inconsistencies? Yes. Those are inconsistent unit systems. Force is the overall standard of unit that converts every physical quantity into another. Just like <a href="http://force1.wordpress.com/force-universal-unit-of-physics/">money </a>converts incompatible items into money and make exchange possible. Any physical quantity in physics can be converted into force. Or this was true before Einstein meddled with force and physicists had to invent a realm where force supposedly did not work as the universal conversion factor. Although, the unit of force G has been incorporated into Einstein's supposedly forceless equations. Quantum mechanics or particle physics is also a problem because physicists invented new forces in that realm and they don't know how to convert those to Newtonian force.</p>
<p>The origin of the problem is physicists' misunderstanding of F = ma and F = GMm/r<sup>2</sup>. Physicists read F = GMm/r<sup>2</sup> as "Force is proportional to one over r squared" and imagine that there must be a singularity at r=0. In order to solve this non-existent singularity physicists negotiated among themselves the philosophical polemics called Quantum Mechanics. In other words, physicists taught to get rid of the singularity they invented because they could not give up their absolute faith in Newton's authority and tried to fake the singularity by blurring it. In the 1970s a new generation of physicists thought that instead of blurring they could postulate a vibrating string to solve the same self-inflicted singularity. So this is how the <a href="http://science1.wordpress.com/2008/09/28/did-leonard-susskind-discover-the-string-theory-as-he-claims/">string theory was discovered</a>. So these giant scholastico-philosophical edifices called Quantum Mechanics and String Theory have their root in physicists' misunderstanding of force. The three incompatible parts of physics General Relativity, Quantum Mechanics and String Theory are Newton's gift to physicists. This is what happens if you carry all those 18th century baggage to the 21st century.</p>
<p>The singularity disappears when Kepler's definition of density is accepted as fundamental. In other words, when Newton's sacred authority is questioned. Physicists so far cannot do that. Instead they keep proving to themselves that Newtonian force works in ever shorter distances, they keep measuring Newton's constant G to ever higher and higher precision making G the least known of all political constants. It's just minor detail that none of higher precision measurements of G was ever duplicated by hostile parties as dictated by the physics propaganda. It just doesn't occur to physicists to dump force and see 1/R<sup>2</sup> = R/T<sup>2</sup>. If you are indoctrinated for over two decades with the Newtonian religion . . . what else do you expect.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Här är det schema jag planerar att följa för min kassa och unitstorleken. Generellt gäller att för varje nivå ökar unitstorleken med 50% (lite avrundat). Om jag lyckas vinna 100 units på en nivå går jag upp till nästa. Om jag backar 50 units av föregående storlek går jag ned en nivå igen.</p>
<table>
<tr>
<th>Unit size</th>
<th>Öka unit size vid kr</th>
<th>Minska unit size vid kr
<th></tr>
<tr>
<td>20</td>
<td>6000</td>
<td>-</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>30</td>
<td>9000</td>
<td>5000</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>45</td>
<td>13500</td>
<td>7500</td>

<tr>
<td>70</td>
<td>20500</td>

</tr>
</table>
<p>Just nu är jag alltså fortfarande på nivå 1 med unit size 20 kr. Om jag lyckas få upp kassan till 6000 kr ökar jag unit size till 30 kr. Om kassan ökar till 9000 kr ökar jag unit size till 45 kr men om kassan faller till 5000 kr minskar jag unit size till 20 kr igen. Enkelt. 20 kr är dock den lägsta nivån och då gular jag hellre än att ytterligare minska unitstorleken. Ska bli spännande att se om man lyckas ta sig upp till några högre nivåer!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dags att lägga upp mina spel i bloggformat! Jag började med sports betting lite mer seriöst än jag provat tidigare för några veckor sedan. Startkassan var då 4000 kr uppdelad i 200 units à 20 kr. Nu vid uppstart är kassan uppe i 5446 kr, så jag kommer alltså starta med +1446 kr i kassan. Målet är såklart att gå plus med bettandet, men jag kommer inte ta ut några pengar utan istället successivt försöka öka unit-storleken. Då är det bara att köra igång då! Har redan mina spel för dagen klara och kommer lägga upp dem snart.</p>

<p>Masonry is the building of structures from individual units laid in and bound together by mortar. The common materials of masonry construction are brick, stone such as marble, granite, travertine, limestone; concrete block, glass block, and tile. Masonry is generally a highly durable form of construction. However, the materials used, the quality of mortar and workmanship, and the pattern the units are laid in can strongly affect the durability of the overall masonry construction.</p>
<p><strong>Applications</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.repairfinders.com">Masonry</a> is commonly used for the walls of buildings, retaining walls and monuments. Brick is the most common type of masonry and may be either weight bearing or a veneer. Concrete block masonry is rapidly gaining in popularity as a comparable material. Blocks - most of which have hollow cores - offer various possibilities in masonry construction, generally providing great compressive strength, and they're generally best suited to structures with light transverse loading when the cores remain unfilled. Filling some or all of the cores with concrete, stone or steel reinforcement offers much greater tensile and lateral strength to structures.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Wall" src="http://i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo249/Repairfinders/masonry/P1000093.jpg?t=1222818559" alt="" width="590" height="442" /></p>
<p><strong>Advantages</strong></p>
<p>The use of materials such as brick and stone can increase the thermal mass of a building, giving increased comfort in the heat of summer and the cold of winter and can be ideal for passive solar applications.</p>
<p>Brick typically will not require painting and so can provide a structure with reduced life-cycle costs, although sealing appropriately will reduce potential spalling due to frost damage. Concrete block of the non-decorative variety generally is painted or stuccoed if exposed.</p>
<p>The appearance, especially when well crafted, can impart an impression of solidity and permanence.</p>
<p>Is very heat resistant and thus will provide good fire protection</p>
<p><strong>Disadvantages</strong></p>
<p>Extreme weather may cause degradation of the surface due to frost damage. This type of damage is common with certain types of brick, though relatively rare with concrete block. If non-concrete brick is to be used, care should be taken to select bricks suitable for the climate in question.</p>
<p>Masonry must be built upon a firm foundation to avoid potential settling and cracking. If expansive soils are present, this foundation may need to be quite elaborate and the services of a qualified structural engineer may be required.</p>
<p>The high weight increases structural requirements, especially in earthquake prone areas.</p>
<p><strong>Structural limitations</strong></p>
<p>Masonry boasts an impressive compressive strength but is much lower in tensile strength unless reinforced. The tensile strength of masonry walls can be strengthened by thickening the wall or by building masonry "piers at intervals. Where practical, steel reinforcement also can be introduced vertically and/or horizontally to greatly increase tensile strength, though this is most commonly done with poured walls.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.repairfinders.com"><img class="aligncenter" title="Masonry" src="http://i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo249/Repairfinders/masonry/P1000126.jpg?t=1222818638" alt="" width="521" height="391" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Veneer masonry </strong></p>
<p>Brick veneer construction has strength imparted by a framework of wood or a rough masonry wall of other material over which is placed a layer of bricks for weatherproofing and providing a finished appearance. The brick veneer wall is connected to the structural walls by "brick ties", metal strips that are attached to the structural wall as well as the mortar joints of the brick veneer wall. There typically is an air gap between the brick veneer wall and the structural wall. As clay brick is not completely waterproof, the structural wall has a water-resistant surface and weep holes are left at the base of the brick veneer wall to ventilate the air gap.</p>
<p>Most insulated buildings that utilize concrete block, brick, veneers or some combination thereof feature interior insulation in the form of fiberglass batts between wooden wall studs or rigid insulation boards covered with plaster or drywall. In most climates, this insulation is much more effective on the exterior of the wall, allowing the building interior to take advantage of the aforementioned thermal mass of the masonry. This technique does require however, some sort of weather-resistant exterior surface over the insulation and, consequently, is generally more expensive.</p>
<p><strong>Dry set masonry</strong><br />
The strength of a masonry wall is not entirely dependent on the bond between the building material and the mortar; the friction between the interlocking blocks of masonry is often strong enough to provide a great deal of strength on its own. The blocks sometimes have grooves or other surface features added to enhance this interlocking, and some dry set masonry structures forego mortar all together.</p>
<p><strong>Solid masonry</strong></p>
<p>Solid masonry, without steel reinforcement, tends to have very limited applications in modern wall construction. While such walls can be quite economical and suitable in some applications, susceptibility to earthquakes and collapse is a major issue. Solid unreinforced masonry walls tend to be low and thick as a consequence.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="Bricks" src="http://i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo249/Repairfinders/masonry/SwimmingDay031.jpg?t=1222818713" alt="" width="550" height="412" /></p>
<p><strong>Brick</strong></p>
<p>Solid brick masonry is made of two or more layers of bricks with the units running horizontally bound together with bricks running transverse to the wall. Each row of bricks is known as a course. The pattern of headers and stretchers employed gives rise to different bonds such as the common bond, the English bond, and the Flemish bond. There are no significant utilitarian differences between most bonds, but the appearance of the finished wall is affected. Vertically staggered bonds tend to be somewhat stronger and less prone to major cracking than a non-staggered bond.</p>
<p><strong>Uniformity and rusticity</strong></p>
<p>The selection of the brick used, especially for color, will affect the appearance of the final surface. In buildings built during the 1970's, a high degree of uniformity of brick and accuracy in masonry was typical. In later periods, this style was thought to be too sterile, so attempts were made to emulate older, rougher work. Some brick surfaces are made to look particularly rustic by including "burnt" bricks, which have a darker color or an irregular shape. Others may use antique salvage bricks, or new bricks may be artificially aged by applying various surface treatments. The attempts at rusticity of the late 20th century have been carried forward by masons specializing in a free, artistic style, where the courses are intentionally not straight, instead weaving to form more organic impressions.</p>
<p><strong>Serpentine masonry</strong></p>
<p>A crinkle-crankle wall is a brick wall that follows a serpentine path, rather than a straight line. This type of wall is more resistant to toppling than a straight wall; so much so that it may be made of a single thickness of unreinforced brick and so despite its longer length may be more economical than a straight wall.</p>
<p><strong>Concrete block</strong></p>
<p>Blocks of cinder concrete, ordinary concrete or hollow tile are generically known as <a href="http://www.repairfinders.com">Concrete Masonry</a> Units. They usually are much larger than ordinary bricks and so are much faster to lay for a wall of a given size. Furthermore, cinder and tile blocks have much lower water absorption rates than brick. They often are used as the structural core for veneered brick masonry, or are used alone for the walls of factories, garages and other "industrial" buildings where appearance is not a significant factor. Such blocks often receive a stucco surface for decoration. Surface-bonding cement sometimes is used in this application and can impart extra strength to a block wall.</p>
<p>The primary advantage of concrete blocks in comparison to smaller clay-based bricks is that a CMU structure can be reinforced by either fully grouting the voids or inserting vertical lengths of rebar and using grout to hold them in place. In this manner, a CMU wall can be built much stronger than typical masonry walls.</p>
<p>Some concrete blocks are colored, and some employ a split face, a technique that results in two blocks being manufactured as one unit and later split into two. This gives the blocks a rough face replicating the appearance of natural, quarried stone, such as brownstone. For applications such as roadway sound control walls, the patterns may be complex and even artistic.</p>
<p>Decorative CMUs have gained in popularity also, with units featuring a glazed, burnished or glossy finish emerging as innovative new options in interior veneers. Decorative CMUs most often appear in financial institutions, schools and other municipal or professional settings where an aesthetic-but-durable, or a virtually marbled product, is appropriate. Such blocks usually have a smooth finish and can have a visible internal aggregates, a solid uniformly colored glaze, or a visible aggregates protected by a clear sealant.</p>

<p><strong>A-Jacks </strong></p>
<p>A-jacks are high stability, concrete 6-pronged armor units designed to interlock into a flexible, highly permeable matrix. They can be installed either randomly or in a uniform pattern. They look like giant 3-foot versions of the metal jacks kids play with. In the uniform placement pattern, each unit is in contact with the six adjacent units, providing high stability. They are patterned after the buckyball model.</p>
<p><strong>Stone</strong></p>
<p>Stone blocks used in masonry can be "dressed" or "rough." Stone masonry utilizing dressed stones is known as ashlars' masonry, whereas masonry using irregularly shaped stones is known as rubble masonry. Both rubble and ashlars' masonry can be laid in courses through the careful selection or cutting of stones, but a great deal of stone masonry is uncoursed.</p>
<p>Sometimes "river rock" is used as a veneer. This type of material is not favored for solid masonry as it requires a great amount of mortar and can lack intrinsic structural strength.</p>
<p>Growing in popularity among builders and homeowners are manufactured-stone veneers. Companies such as many architects and developers have found manufactured stone veneers to be the most cost effective and environmentally sound choice for the building's exterior walls as well as many areas throughout the project, such as interior walls and landscape areas.</p>
<p>Natural stone veneers such as those produced by Arnold Stone are also used by many builders and masons but in a world of diminishing natural resources, the decision to use natural veneers is one that is important on each project.</p>
<p><strong>Gabions</strong></p>
<p>Gabions are rectangular wire baskets, usually of zinc protected steel that are filled with fractured stone of medium size. These will act as a single unit and are stacked with setbacks to form a revetment or retaining wall. They have the advantage of being both well drained and flexible, and so resistant to flood, water flow from above, frost damage, and soil flow. Their expected useful life is only as long as the wires they are composed of and if used in severe climates must be made of appropriate corrosion-resistant wire.</p>
<p><strong>Bagged concrete</strong></p>
<p>A low grade concrete may be placed in woven plastic sacks similar to that used for sandbags and then emplaced. The sacks are then watered and the emplacement then becomes a series of artificial stones that conform to one another and to adjacent soil and structures. This conformation makes them resistant to displacement. The sack becomes non-functional and eventually disintegrates. This type of masonry is frequently used to protect the entrances and exits of water conduits where a road passes over a stream or dry wash. It is also used to protect stream banks from erosion, especially where a road passes close by.</p>
<p><strong>Masonry Training</strong></p>
<p>Stonemasonry is one of the oldest professions in the history of construction. As such is regarded as a traditional skill, and is one, which is in heavy demand.</p>
<p>Prospective stonemasons will learn the profession through apprenticeships or a traineeship that will last 3 to 4 years. There are City &#38; Guilds stonemasonry courses available that combine college based theory training with practical learning.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:&#34;">Fourteen of the 66 one, two and three-bedroom units have already been bought within a week of the project’s launch, with a third of investors making their first home purchase.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:&#34;">Expectations that Reed Property Group’s next stage of units will rise by about $80,000 has sparked predictions the first stage will sell out by Christmas.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:&#34;">The next stage is anticipated for release early next year, once the first stage has sold out.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:&#34;">Reed Property Group marketing coordinator Bill Darby said first-home buyers had seized the chance to buy modern units in a rapidly growing area.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:&#34;">Mr Darby said the 5% discount offer on $329,000 one-bedroom and $419,000 two-bedroom units was further incentive for the first 20 buyers.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:&#34;">“It’s been a week, and with the level of activity and the fact there’s no other projects like this, we’d be expecting to sell out by Christmas.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:&#34;">Mr Darby said a spread in The Daily’s Property Week had combined with word-of-mouth to spark the first stages of public interest in the project.</span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I bought a booster last night with 35,000 gold and 10,000 wood. I know it was a bit steep, but I was really hoping for something good. Alas, my luck was not there. I ended up with a loss on this one. But, since no one would sell me Nature for resources, hopefully someone will trade out for these.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We got another free booster today, but this one was unannounced! I logged into the website to see if I had any referrals (which I don't) and saw that I had one booster to redeem. I was watching the help chat and some other people mentioned having one. Eventually one of the SAGA people said that he didn't know why we had free boosters and that he guesses we were being showed some love. I'm thinking it had more to do with the constant disconnects and lag.</p>
<p>These are the cards I got in my booster. I'm keeping the Elven Warrior and trading the others out. I did much better than if I had sold the booster. :D</p>

1.93 (BetFair) 20/20 Units<br />
20.00</strong></span></p>
<p>Malaga är mållösa i ligan <em>(0-5 på 3 matcher)</em> medans Valencia öser på framåt och har fina 6-2 i målskillnad. Dessutom besegrade ju Valencia Real Madrid i spanska supercupen med 3-2 före spanska ligan drog i gång. <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">Trots saknaden av Villa så ska det finnas tillräckligt med klass för vinna ikväll.</span> Villa är visst med, jag måste fått fel information. Vem annars är det som gjort 0-1. Vid vinst går Valencia upp i ledning före Villareal på bättre målskillnad.</p>
<p>1.93 på bortavinst tycker jag är spelvärt och kör 20/20 på det.<br />
Matchstart klockan 20.00 (svensk tid).</p>
