Build a vertical axis windmill from cardboard and recycled pop bottles to experiment with wind power generation.
Small wind turbines have lower energy output than commercial wind turbines, such as those found in wind farms. Commercial generators in the 5-50W range are available for boat or caravan use.
While this particular model is made from a 24 oz. water bottle larger models with blades cut from a 2 or 3 liter soda bottle and using a cardboard, plywood or sheet metal end pieces should be efficient enough to drive a generator based on a fan motor such as those found in old CPU cooling units.
A 12V .09A CPU cooling fan connected to this assembly could produce as much as 1W under the right wind conditions. This is more than sufficient to recharge NiCad batteries and other trivial energy needs, or fed into an existing inverter as a supplemental power source.
With some scaling and good gearing it should be possible to reach as much as 25W using this basic design.
At this stage the list is pretty simple and mostly means some tools more than particular supplies.
A soda bottle. Almost any size will do and the directions will scale up or down as available. I used a 24 oz. water bottle.
Something to use for an axle. I didn't get fancy I used a wooden skewer from a pack of 100 we had in the drawer. Future designs which are used to power generators will probably have a two part axle ( top and bottom ) and not carry the extra weight in the center.
In this case we're going to use a 5 blade design because that's the most convenient. You'll notice that the bottom of the soda bottle is conveniently divided in 5 parts. In the case of my bottle these were about 1" wide at the top ( see picture ).
Carefully peel the label off of the bottle. Don't worry about the glue, its tedious and I haven't found a good way to remove it...yet.
Using a Sharpie mark the midpoint in each node ( see picture ). We will use this to cut out our fan blades.
After all the sections have been marked off use the Sharpie and a ruler to mark a straight line down the flat portion of the bottle. This will be our cutting guide.
Cut off the top and bottom of the bottle. Be careful, I used a hobby razor knife but scissors will do nicely. A word of advice, cut and then trim. Do not attempt a fine cut on the first pass. Cut off the top and bottom well above and below the center then trim off excess.
Using the protractor draw a circle in the center of each paper plate. Its not important that line up exactly however it is important to use the point of the protractor to punch out the center hole so it can be readily identified later.
Using the bottom of the soda bottle and the marks we made on it mark off 5 lines from the center to the end that correspond to the center of the base.
Now measure in the width of your fan blades, in my case if 1 3/4 inches. Draw a line at a 40 degree angle. This will be used to set the blades in place. Note the protractor hole in the center.
Its not absolutely necessary to mark both the top and the bottom. I only marked one and used visual alignment (more or less) successfully.
Okay now insert your axle through the center holes of both wheels and your ready to attach the fan blades.
Notice I cleverly used a box to hold the windmill during assembly. This worked out extremely well and I highly recommend a similar arrangement.
In this version the fan blades are attached to the wheels with tape. I found it useful to attach a tape tab first ( see picture ) and then attach it to the wheel. Align the tips of the fan blade along the 40 degree line facing outward ( see picture ).
Once a blade has been attached properly at one line it up so that its straight and attach it to the opposite wheel. I tried both ways and found that doing both ends at once seemed to be easiest.
Attach the blades on opposite sides and the weight will balance out.
When you're done you'll have a lovely 5 blade vertical axis windmill. This design can be stabilized and scaled up for any number of hobby or mechanical projects.
I can't wait to try this out!!! Love it!
Excellent, I have featured your comment.
I think you have "protractor" and "compass" mixed up. The protractor is the semi circle marked out in degrees, while the compass is the tool for drawing circles.
My God you're right. I didn't even really think about it.
forgot to add: Good 'ible, looks like a great platform for assessing torque and sustained watt values for larger scale VAWT, and cheap to make. Thanks!
Would this work in reverse as a fan, with an enclosure like a squirrel cage (centrifugal) fan ?
Absolutely. However it will be less efficient than a traditional type fan since it isn't as focused. Adding a squirrel cage would overcome this I think.

Video interview: Jennie McAlpine on soap life and jungle
Jennie McAlpine, who plays Fiz in Coronation Street, was interviewed on ITV's Lorraine today. She spoke about being free from the jungle where she came fourth in "I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here".
Jennie told Lorraine that the first soap she appeared in was Emmerdale, and she was in it with her ex-Corrie co-star Vicky Binns, who played Molly Dobbs.
She also said that she was only supposed to be in Coronation Street for five episodes, when Fiz was brought in as Roy and Hayley's foster child. And then she was called back, 17 years ago, to play one of Mike Baldwin's knicker stitches.
In Corrie right now, Jennie's disappearance from the show (while she was in the jungle) will be explained by Fiz having to go away to look after her mum Cilla.
At the end of the interview, Lorraine tells Jennie that "I'm really looking forward to your cooking series, that'll be great..." - does anyone know what cooking series this is?
You can watch the full interview here.
We're a finalist!

Lahore (Staff Report): A local court on Tuesday sent Czech model Tereza Hluskova, who is facing drug smuggling charges, jail on judicial remand.
As per details, Tereza appeared before Magistrate Zafar Fareed Hashmi at district courts amid tight security. After hearing case, the court granted judicial remand of the model.
Tereza, was taken into custody by Customs officials with nine kilograms of heroin at Lahore airport on January 10. The 21-year-old was in Pakistan on a three-month family visit.
On the other hand, the Customs said that raids were being conducted in different parts of the city as per the information shared by the woman.


Have you ever wanted to take down the wall in between the dining room and kitchen? We made the perfect open entertaining space with repurposed cabinetry.
Theres nothing I love more than creating bright open interiors. Most of the times that can be achieved with paint and furnishings but not with this project. As most of us know the kitchen is the heart of the home and no matter how large the rest of the house is we all gather in the kitchen. So when my sister Jenni and her fiancé Mike bought their new house they knew that the smaller sized kitchen was too tiny to cram their blended family of 6 around a small table. Entertaining was even more of a challenge. So we brought in the sledge hammer and tore down the wall in between the kitchen and dining room knowing that the light would flow from the front to the back of the house.
If you follow along on Instagram you may have seen images of my parents 12 foot island that we all gather around every Sunday night for dinner. Jenni and MIke wanted the same feel only on a slightly smaller scale. The existing cabinets were quality cherry and relatively new. We contemplated painting them but decided we could update the look with new counters, backsplash, wall paint and repurposing cabinets to make the space work better. Here's a little peek…..
BEFORE: Bright yellow walls and cream colored counters. The refrigerator stuck out into the room.
BEFORE: Tight eat in kitchen. Loading the dishwasher was a nightmare if you were standing at the sink. You would have to stand away from the sinks so that the door didn't get in your way when it was down.
Before: Small formal living room with textures ceiling, built-in window seat and two door openings. Big double windows looking out onto the front yard.
After: Walls removed and openings maximized. We were so excited to find behind the drywall the brick chimney stack that added to the room's rustic charm. We needed a space for Jenni's large rustic sideboard. With a bit of handiwork we made it fit in the opening previously the window seat.
Crown moulding was added and walls were painted in Sherwin Williams Agreeable Gray SW7029. Pravo large Island pendant chandelier, a large 6 light dimable chandelier was hung giving the space a light and airy feel. 10 farmhouse X back wood stools fit the whole family and more.
More rustic decor fill the walls.
Kitchen Rules. Shop here for fun reclaimed wood signs.
We covered up a corner window and repurposed every cabinet. A second oven and microwave are easily accessible. This area hold all the barware and serves as a dry bar when entertaining.
The sink area loses the peninsula and a Moen touchless high arch faucet and deep one basin sink is added along with new satin nickel cup pull hardware. Counters were swapped for Quartz Michelangelo and Carrera white Bianco 3 by 6 marble subway tiles were added. A darker gray grout emphasizes the subway's shape and creates interest and pattern.
Jenni needed plenty of space on both sides of the stove when she cooks. Width restrictions kept us from putting the stove at the end of the island. By placing on the right she has plenty of space while cooking and gave her the room for extra cabinets and drawers. It also gave her a straight view of the front of the house.
A antique soda crate from my parents barn serves as a side table for the gray linen tufted chair purchased at HomeGoods and knit cable woven pouf. This little corner is the perfect place to have morning coffee and catch up on daily emails. A white wooden vintage glazed floor lamp adds soft ambiance lighting .
A silk floral arrangement from my sister's shop Wisteria Flowers and Gifts.
Behind the Scenes: The wall comes down. Yahoo!
Contractor Steve makes the rustic farmhouse hutch fit. We had to raise the top bump out a bit and frame out the opening to highlight the space. The window gets covered up but the overall light in the room is 100 times brighter.
Steve builds a custom island and we tape out the size of the counter to make sure there's enough space. Faux doors are applied to all side for visual balance.
I paint the unfinished island with Amy Howard at Home One Step Paints in Luxe Gray. We distress the the cabinets exposing the natural wood.
To match the rustic hutch I add a tobacco colored glaze that puddles in the cracks and highlights the woodtones.
love what we do. Carry on!!
Hi folks – contractor Steve of Steven P Mellor remodeling inc. I have done numerous projects with Amy and love bringing her ideas to life -the design and painting were all Amy's brainchild – I simply brought it to life – the island was custom made in my shop – the microwave hutch was pieced together with old kitchen remnants – existing cabinets had to be "shrunk " for height and doors rebuilt – I pride myself in building dreams – see other projects on "Steven P Mellor Remodeling Inc. on Facebook -never say it can't be done !
I love this remodel transformation!Could you please give me a "rough" estimate of how much this cost? I wonder if I could even afford to do something like this???
HI Michelle- It all depends on the scope of the job. We had to move cabinets and repurpose, put support beams in when removing load bearing walls , adding trim, fill in hardwoods, more cabinetry and tiles, new counters, etc. It could be anywhere from 15k up. All the little things add up unfortunately.
Oh my goodness Amie! This is amazing…that built-in furniture shelf unit is genius and your finishing paint technique on the island is gorgeous! This is a remarkable display of your vast talents! GORGEOUS!


PITTSBURGH, Dec. 1, 2010 – Grammy-award winning singer Gladys Knight joined actor and Pittsburgh native David Conrad at the 2010 Hillman Cancer Center Gala last night, celebrating the successful completion of the $200 million campaign for the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute (UPCI) and UPMC Cancer Centers. The event, Celebrate! A Future Without Cancer, was attended by more than 750 guests and was held at the Monroeville Convention Center.
Thanks in part to a $3 million gift from the Mario Lemieux Foundation, which will be used to establish the Mario Lemieux Center for Blood Diseases at the Hillman Cancer Center, the gala celebrated the successful conclusion of the campaign as well as UPCI's 25th anniversary.
The campaign was launched five years ago with a $20 million gift from the Henry L.

The Maria Sessions
SOLEILMOON RECORDINGS
SOLV 013B-LP SOLV 013B-LP
"Summer of 1990 was glorious. The Dots entered the studio on a high as The Crushed Velvet Apocalypse seemed to be embraced by a broad audience. Our label Play It Again Sam had been generous with the budget for a new record, and there was a spirit of daring adventure firing up the band. For the first month we pretty much jammed... and Bob captured many of these sessions on a small tape recorder placed in the middle of the studio. Bob had dusted off his sitar, Niels unearthed his monstrous kettle drums, Phil surrounded himself with synths and samplers. If it hadn't been for the mosquitoes we might have played through the nights. Driving to the studio each day was a challenge in itself, as the last stretch was just dirt-track with huge potholes to navigate around. There were other obstacles too: sand drifts, Highland cattle that stubbornly blocked the path and Konik horses - partial to nibbling the plastic wing mirrors and rubber tires on Phil's car. But... most dangerous of all were the nature walkers - they would shake their fists and rant about it being a nature reserve, and that cars were not allowed (always choosing to ignore that one board which read 'except for residents'). The albums are presented in a deluxe gatefold sleeve with tip-on printing, with lyrics, track list and band photo printed on the inner sleeves."

We often add 25-50% value to your vehicle when you donate a vehicle in Mountain View. This means (in compliance with the IRS guidelines) you can deduct the FULL SALE PRICE of the vehicle. You get a copy of the IRS Form 1098-C for your tax deduction within 30 days of the sale.

Let our in-house car experts determine what could be selectively improved on your car then donate it to charity.

"We moved stuff upstairs. The lights went out. We headed for higher ground, and there we stayed for five days. We were lucky because we had just a couple of inches of water in the rooms we had emptied. Our neighbours, a few metres down the hill, were not so lucky," says Jon Eastgate from St Andrew's, South Brisbane

Phosphoric acid and phosphoric acid doped polymer membranes are widely used as electrolytes in hydrogen based fuel cells operating at elevated temperatures. Such electrolytes have been explored for direct oxidation of methanol to further increase the versatility of the systems, however, with demonstrated lifetimes of only a few days to weeks. In this work the methyl phosphate formation from the acid and methanol is identified and proposed to be a major mechanism for the cell degradation. Proton conductivity and fuel cell durability tests validate the mechanism at high methanol contents.

NOMID Symptoms Helped By Arthritis Drug
by Medindia Content Team on August 11, 2006 at 10:28 AM
Neonatal-onset multisystem inflammatory disease (NOMID) is a rare condition that affects children as well as adults. A new study finds that a drug named anakinra could alleviate symptoms and bring down the inflammation associated with the disease. The study is published in the August 10 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine. It was undertaken by the Intramural Research Program of the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS).
NOMID, also known as chronic infantile neurologic cutaneous articular (CINCA) syndrome, is an inflammatory disorder that affects numerous organs and body systems, including the skin, joints, eyes and central nervous system. For most children, the first sign of the disease is a rash that develops within the first six weeks of life. Other problems, including fever, meningitis, joint damage, vision and hearing loss, and mental retardation, can follow. NOMID is one of a group of illnesses that NIAMS Clinical Director Daniel Kastner M.D., Ph.D. has designated autoinflammatory diseases, because of their seemingly unprovoked episodes of inflammation. Despite treatment to control the inflammation — including high-dose corticosteroids, disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs such as methotrexate, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen or naproxen — the disease is progressive and often fatal. As many as 20 percent of children with NOMID don't survive to adulthood.
'This research shows the importance of studying rare but enormously instructive diseases, a unique strength of the NIH intramural science program,' says NIH Director Elias A. Zerhouni, M.D. 'This study provides new insights on fundamental mechanisms of inflammation. More importantly this new therapy will reduce the pain and suffering of these young patients allowing them to live a fuller life than previously possible.'
While the mechanism of NOMID is not completely understood, research in recent years has revealed mutations in a gene called CIAS1 in approximately 60 percent of patients with the disease. CIAS1 encodes cryopyrin, which belongs to a group of interacting proteins involved in regulating inflammation and programmed cell death, which plays a crucial role in ridding the body of cells that are no longer needed. The mutations, scientists have found, lead to an imbalance of a cytokine, or chemical messenger, called interleukin-1 (IL-1), which is believed to drive the inflammation that causes damage in patients with the disease.
Isolated case reports have suggested that anakinra might be effective in treating the rash and other symptoms of NOMID. Anakinra is a biologic agent, a medicine based on compounds that are made by living cells and used to stimulate or restore the ability of the immune system to fight disease and/or infection. It works by blocking the effects of IL-1beta (IL-1ß), and is approved for treating rheumatoid arthritis. Until the new NIAMS study, however, the agent had not been systematically assessed in a larger group of patients with NOMID, and its effect on the most devastating organ manifestations — including the central nervous system, the eyes and the ears — had not been investigated, says Raphaela Goldbach-Mansky, M.D., a rheumatologist and the study's lead author.
To determine the possible role of anakinra in treating NOMID, the researchers treated 18 NOMID patients (12 with identifiable CIAS1 mutations) ages 4 to 32 with daily doses of anakinra based on body weight. At one, three and six months they assessed the treatment's effectiveness.
All 18 of the patients, they found, had an immediate clinical response to anakinra. Rash and conjunctivitis (inflammation of the membrane lining the eyelids), both common in NOMID, disappeared within three days. By three months, laboratory measures of inflammation, including erythrocyte sedimentation rate, c-reactive protein and serum amyloid A protein (SAA), had improved, and by six months, 33 percent of the patients showed improved hearing and another half of the patients had no further hearing loss from baseline. Other confirmed benefits of treatment included disappearance or lessening of headaches, reduction of central nervous system lesions, ability to lower corticosteroid doses, and remission of inflammation in more than half of patients by month six. At month three, disease flared in 11 patients when they were withdrawn from anakinra as part of the study, but when anakinra was restarted, the disease quickly responded again. Daily injections would be required for any long-term treatment.
'This study demonstrates the efficacy of anakinra in improving major organ manifestations and helps confirm the role of IL-1beta (IL-1ß) in many features of the disease; most importantly, the central nervous system,' says Dr. Goldbach-Mansky.
Because NOMID is a rare disease (400 to 600 children in the United States), the study was necessarily small and lacked a control group, but the study was strengthened by the magnitude of the clinical response to the agent and the fact that the disease flared when anakinra was temporarily stopped, she says.
'NOMID is a devastating disease for which previously there was little understanding or effective treatment,' says NIAMS Director Stephen I. Katz, M.D., Ph.D. 'This study not only provides hope — in the way of an already-available agent — but it also provides a better understanding of the mechanism of the disease's damaging effects.'
Furthermore, notes Goldbach-Mansky, anakinra was safe in this clinical investigation. Unlike some other treatments used for NOMID, it caused no serious side effects in any of the patients during the study.

Vol.156 - Echoes of the Great Western Part 1
Shop | Railways | B & R Video Productions | Volumes 150 to 157 | Vol.156 - Echoes of the Great Western Part 1
Vol.156 - Echoes of the Great Western Part 1 (80-mins) (Released Nov 2010)
NOTE: This DVD was originally titled "The GWR Recalled"
Jim Clemens Collection No.29. The first in a series featuring scenes of the former Great Western Railway using archive film from the 1920s all the way to the diesel hydraulic era in the 1960s. In this part we predominately feature express classes. The early GWR scenes are a complete contrast to steam on the Western Region in its last five years from 1960 to 1965 and this production is appropriate for the 175th anniversary year of the GWR.
We start with a prelude of the broad gauge using the 1935 and 1985 re-enactments followed by extensive and detailed footage of the King, Castle and County 4-6-0 express classes. There are many scenes of these locomotives taken from all over the territories of the former GWR and Western Region of British Railways. From Paddington in London to Penzance in the Far West; to Worcester & Birmingham in the Midlands; to Swindon & Bristol; these are just few of the many locations visited.
There are special events, tours and normal service train workings of both passenger and freight over this well loved railway. A short sequence features the early diesel hydraulics with D600s, Warships & Westerns.
As a preview of Part 2, we conclude with views of Halls, Granges, Manors, Dukedogs, 2-8-0, 2-8-2T & 47xx freight classes & panniers plus a visit to the narrow gauge Welshpool and Llanfair line.
Older scenes are in black and white but the majority is in colour. An extensively researched commentary has been added along with an authentic sound track.

Nintendo's new blue and pink DSi XL bundle preloaded with educational Brain Age games and Mario vs. Donkey Kong, is a no-brainer choice for your young gamer this holiday.
The last time I was at Nintendo World in Manhattan, I overheard a very confused mother struggling to decide between the Nintendo 3DS and the DSi XL now that they share the same $169.99 price tag. To help parents better differentiate between the handheld consoles this holiday, Nintendo is giving the DSi XL two new colors ("Midnight Blue" and the previously introduced "Metallic Rose") and tossing in a free game (Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!) for the same price.
Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem! is quite an imaginative platformer where the player uses the stylus to draw lines (rather than just press buttons) to guide a pack of mini Marios through the amusement park. In my opinion, the best part of this title is that it offers a Construction Zone: the player gets to play game designer by creating and testing his own puzzles/levels, which he can share with others online via Wi-Fi. Plus, Brain Age: Express Math and Brain Age: Express Arts and Letters also come pre-loaded on these DSi XLs so the bundle won't be just fun and games but will be educational too.
For $169.99, this DSi XL bundle will definitely be on wish lists this year and with its educational bent, it will be a gift you'll be proud to deliver come Christmas morning. This bundle goes on sale on November 6 and will probably go fast so start planning your line-up strategy now.
Nintendo 3DS turns Flame Red for the holidays, but will it put sales in the black?

PRESIDENTIAL AWARD
A leader, mentor and role model, Jessica Weissman is a doctoral candidate, researcher and scholar in Public Health, who is changing the world through her work in the Department of Health Promotion and Disease Prevention and beyond. Weissman has served as a leader in various capacities ranging from the classroom to her graduate research fellowship with the Center for Research on U.S. Latino HIV/AIDS and Drug Abuse. She designed an original survey research study and took the lead to turn the findings into a manuscript that was later published in the Florida Public Health Review. She also served as first author in the submission of abstracts to conferences, and was able to present the findings at three national conferences.
Weissman has published nine journal articles, and presented at more than 15 regional, national and international conferences. Most recently, she took the lead in conducting an important systematic review which was accepted for publication in a highly regarded scientific journal, AIDS Education and Prevention. The purpose of this project was to assess HIV risk-reduction interventions among women of reproductive age throughout the world who abuse substances, so that evidence-based recommendations can be made for future intervention studies and for clinical practitioners who work with patients at risk for HIV infection and suffering from substance abuse disorders.

One of the things I love to do in life is play with words. That's easy.
One of the things I long to do in the world is make positive changes. That is easier said than done. In my college days, it seemed like I could wave a magic wand and change would happen. That is part of the wonderful delusion of youth, but it felt good nevertheless. Not voting for Nixon at age 21 was "really cool" and "helped create change".
Today I realize all the legal jargon, kabuki theater, etc that keeps change from happening, that really should be happening.
Here is a for-instance. When SeaWorld and similar entities launched their ventures, it was a good thing. It was very difficult for humans to get close to wild sea mammals, and this seemed an ideal way to do so.
However, studies were being done at the time and it did not take long before oceanographers and other scientists realized that such animals have feelings very similar to humans, thought processes very similar to humans, and were basically family animals. They also communicate using extremely loud shrill sounds. When these sounds bounced off a concrete wall such as a pool, it echoes again and again driving the animal insane. Not some of the time, but every time. Though we see smiles on the faces of Orcas and dolphins, those smiles are simply the structure of their jaw bones. They are not smiling but crying miserably. Most are suicidal and some are homicidal as we have seen.
Investors have a great deal of money in these entities and are not about to let them go without a fight.
And of course being a "little guy" or a "cartoonist", all I can do, at most, is speak out with my humor/cartoons and on social media to help gain attention to this atrocity. And I will continue to do my part until I can no longer do it.
Orca cartoon items are wonderful gifts and collectibles.
To view my Orca collection of clothing, eco-friendly bags, pillows, lamps, playing cards, mouse pads and much much more…..
All who know me know I love animals. I've loved them since I was a young child. And not just cats and dogs but animals living in the wild. I spent a great deal of time outdoors in my youth, and that love of the outdoors and nature never left me.
I'm fascinated with how nature works and continue learning about it, and the animals who are a great part of it, and I learn something new every day.
But just being there and observing is not enough. I grew up near the Ms. Gulf Coast and watched cetaceans such as dolphins and sperm whales merrily swim the beautiful waters. And though I don't believe we had Orcas, I always imagined what kind of wonderful time they had in the wild. After all most of these creatures swim between 30-100 miles a day just for minimal health.
I still remember in my youth hearing about Seaworld and other such cetacean captivity environments and never could get answers as to why that was allowed to happen. After all, these creatures communicate with a loud shrill sound, and such sounds bouncing off concrete walls seemed it would be aggravating. I would later learn it drives them insane, depressed, and suicidal.
I decided to research on my own (animal sciences) and sure enough Seaworld and other such wild animal prisons are truly nothing more than torture prisons. I felt powerless to do anything, however. I wrote letters to them and they would politely write back that they treated their animals with the utmost of care (yada yada yada). I knew better.
When I learned that I had "cartoons in me", I decided I would do a series of Orca and dolphin cartoons which I've done and will continue to do. And though that is just a drop in the bucket as far as letting Seaworld and others know they are running archaic businesses that need to be closed, every little bit helps.
When such places opened 1/2 century ago, they were useful. They were created to show people and allow them to observe sea creatures they would otherwise never see.
However animal science has shown that such captivity is cruel and unusual punishment and these creatures are extremely intelligent and desperately need to live in the wild. Seaworld has decided to ignore that science for the sake of profits.
In addition, there are plenty of other venues now that don't harm the animals in which people can observe and study them in their true habitat. The entire "mission statement" of Seaworld and others like it is obsolete.
I will be running more Orca and dolphin cartoons over the years and tweeting and mailing them to Seaworld. Chances are they will not do a lot of good….on their own. But if enough people send letters, cartoons, drawings, pleas, etc., finally they will have to listen. Already their stock is plummeting. That is a start. It is just a matter of time before they are out of business.
The question is, will they go gracefully (its almost too late for that) but there's still a small timeline, or will they go out of business kicking and screaming with a legacy of cruelty and obscene torture? Only time will tell.
Meantime, here's a good chance to laugh at their latest tv commercial created to "change our minds" about them. Didn't work for me. Did it you?

It's pumpkin season!!!! Instead of indulging in carb bombs (like the Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte), why don't you make something healthier (and tastier) at home? Save money live better!!
I put this bad boy together on my Snapchat and I had so many people ask me for the recipe!
As you can see in my video…I don't measure lol! But these are the approximate measurements for my Keto Pumpkin Spice Cake! Just modify it for your taste…if you know you want it sweeter, add more sweetener! If too much spice or pumpkin ain't your jam, make it less! If you want more cake-like texture, just add 3-4 Tbs coconut flour. It's hard to mess this up!
1 scoop of vanilla protein powder. I use this brand.
Microwave 2-3 minutes (mine was 3 minutes, depends on if you want the inside a little moist or not, and your microwave.
Top with shredded coconut, whipped cream, crushed pecans, whatever floats your boat!

Governments And Businesses Move To Soften COVID-19 Economic Blow
At the time of writing, the novel Coronavirus begun in Wuhan – which has been named COVID-19 – is still a serious health problem in China and its surrounding territories. The current figures available here show an infection total close to 77,000. Deaths continue to rise, the total has topped 2,200. But recovery rates are still going strong and, at nearly 19,000, maintaining the 90/10 split with the death toll.
With a clearer idea of the impact on economy and the global supply chain, governments and businesses are beginning to make decisions against future shortages. Amazon is beginning to buy larger and more frequent orders from its suppliers; Singapore government is adapting support for affected businesses within its 2020 budget and the British Government appears to be keeping an eye on potential impacts on the medical/pharmaceutical supply chain.
Amazon's reliance on just-in-time delivery is one which has reduced operational costs and provided a flexible business model adapted to constant supply-and-demand. However it is beginning to realise the vulnerabilities of such an approach as it forecasts the impact of COVID-19. Prime Day, an annual summer sale event, is currently at risk from stock shortages caused by Chinese government shut downs of manufacturing businesses. They have increased the size of their orders and how frequently they will order, straying from their just-in-time model.
Amazon has been filtering vendors who have listed their sources as from China and over $10 million in annual sales. In some cases they have doubled or potentially quadrupled their orders from suppliers. Such orders have been accompanied by notifications such as "Amazon issued off-cycle orders to you last night in order to prepare for possible supply chain disruptions due to recent global events originating in China." It remains to be seen whether Amazon's strategies with insulate Prime Day against the impact of COVID-19.
Elsewhere, Singapore government looks to announce relief for suffering industries in its 2020 budget. Support is expected to focus on the tourist and transport industries, which have been hit hardest by the outbreak. This could come in the form of tax rebates on commercial properties and relief for aircraft landing fees. With China as its biggest export market and source of international tourism, Singapore will be hoping for signs of recovery soon. Its budget surplus over the last five years has put it in a good place to support its economy through the crisis.
Elsewhere, the British Government is keeping an eye on the horizon for potential impacts on the medical supply chain for the NHS. It has released an article aimed at reassuring all that the NHS is in no immediate danger of shortages and stocks of medicines are currently healthy. The government was keen to state that the NHS is well-equipped and well-prepared to deal with coronavirus should it arrive in force on UK soil. They are working together with MHRA to pre-emptively avoid shortages and minimise risks to patients dependent on vital medicines.
It appears that the economic turmoil of 2019 has left many better prepared to handle the shock of the COVID-19 health emergency. Between US-China trade wars and Britain's agonising journey toward Brexit, many companies and government departments appear to have already begun preparations for economic uncertainty.
We continue to follow the COVID-19 outbreak and its impact on the global supply chain. Please check back regularly for more updates.
