Xylitol: TUNDRA TRADING

What is Xylitol?

Birch Tree

Xylitol is a good-tasting sweetener that is reduced in calories, is dentally safe and that features a host of other health benefits. Xylitol has the same sweetness and bulk as sucrose, but with one-third fewer calories and no unpleasant aftertaste. It dissolves quickly and produces a cooling sensation in the mouth. In more than 35 countries, Xylitol is approved for use in foods, pharmaceuticals and oral health products.

Discovered in 1891 by German chemist Emil Fischer, Xylitol occurs naturally in many fruits and vegetables and is even produced by the human body during normal metabolism. It is a white, odorless crystalline powder with a pleasant, sweet taste. Produced commercially from plants such as birch and other hardwood trees and fibrous vegetation, Xylitol has been used as a sweetening agent in human food since the 60s.

It continues to gain acceptance as an alternative sweetener due to its scientifically proven role in reducing the development of dental caries (cavities) as much as 80%. Other health benefits include the remineralization of existing cavities, the hardening of tooth enamel and repair of small emerging cavities, the cessation or retardation of plaque formation, and the increase of saliva secretion to aid in the repair of damaged tooth enamel.

OriginOil Announces Breakthrough Process for Live Algae Oil Extraction

OriginOil Announces Breakthrough Process for Live Algae Oil Extraction

– Algae ‘milking’ promises new efficiencies as part of a combined production cycle –

Los Angeles, CA July 27, 2009 – OriginOil, Inc. (OOIL), the developer of a breakthrough technology to transform algae, the most promising source of renewable oil, into a true competitor to petroleum, today announced that it has succeeded in extracting algae oil on a continuous basis without cell sacrifice. This new ‘milking’ process will join the company’s Cascading Production™ technique to create a combined cycle promising new efficiencies.

Live Extraction™, or milking, is inherently efficient because it achieves continuous production of algae oil without destroying the algae cell. Therefore a single algae cell can produce more oil during its lifetime using lower amounts of energy. Unlike other approaches to live extraction, OriginOil’s process does not employ expensive consumables such as reverse osmosis membranes; furthermore, it is not limited to oil-bearing algae strains, such as Botryococcus braunii, that are known to excrete algae oil naturally.

Algae typically protect their oil behind a tough cell wall. The challenge of live extraction is to harvest the oil without causing permanent damage to the cell. This goal has been achieved in the laboratory at bench scale and is now being scaled up to OriginOil’s intermediate 200-gallon tank size. A diagram illustrates the process at www.originoil.com/technology/live-extraction.html.
The company recently filed for patent protection of the new Live Extraction process, its ninth patent application, entitled “Procedure for Extraction of Lipids from Algae without Cell Sacrifice.”  “Live Extraction works by stimulating the algae cells through specific electrical modulations,” Riggs Eckelberry, OriginOil’s CEO, said. “The challenge is how to keep the cells alive while continuously extracting the oil, and we have achieved this.”
“We are pleased with the results we are getting from conventional harvesting,” said Vikram Pattarkine, PhD, OriginOil’s CTO. “We expect the new Live Extraction process to coexist with our daily ‘destructive’ process to create an even more efficient combined cycle.”
Aside from any production gains, combining the two processes is desirable because algae cultures must be refreshed regularly to remove waste toxins. Cascading Production supports Live Extraction by removing a percentage of the culture every day, refreshing the environment and giving the algae culture space to grow.
Following Exxon Mobil’s recent announcement of a $600 million investment in San Diego-based Synthetic Genomics, Paul Reep, senior technical adviser and one of the inventors, noted: “Live lipid extraction is especially beneficial when used with algae that have been genetically engineered for faster growth rate or higher lipid yields. By integrating Live Extraction into our process, we are providing a technology platform for companies like Synthetic Genomics that are experimenting with genetic improvements.”

AT&T Continues Bad Customer Moves – 4Chan

In what many are reporting as an uproar in the online community, AT&T has apparently blocked access from it’s cell network to 4Chan.

AT&T has filtered /b/. There have been multiple confirmed reportings that 4chan is not accessible by people using AT&T as an ISP. This is called censorship. AT&T does not have the right to filter what America sees. This isn’t for the lulz this time, it’s to save the site and stop these corporate jackasses from dominating the internet world.

Some details are sketchy but expect a total user revolt against AT&T soon.

4Chan is already getting organized and prepped for retaliation.

Check out this forum:

Visit the chat at https://mibbit.com/chat/#save/b/@irc.rizon.net

This board is GUEST FRIENDLY.

This is going to be huge. Just look at the level of planning involved. They’ve already got the CEO’s phone number and address.

AT&T own:
12.20.0.0/8
76.192.0.0/10
68.88.0.0/13
75.0.0.0/10
99.128.0.0/10

according to ARIN. Hope this helps. Those subnets will block almost all of AT&T.

Edit: updated with more accurate CIDRs.

Edit 2: completed the CIDR set. There are many smaller one-off allocations of /24 /23 and /22 in size, but those 5 appear to be the vast bulk of it.

Favorite it and give it 5 stars, tell everyone you know to do it, make it the #1 vid on youtube.

AT&T has blocked access to img.4chan.org to its customers…

I would have uploaded this on some hack anonymous account, but this is an issue that affects the internet as a whole, and isn’t just limited to 4chan.org. We must move quickly before they believe they can simply take an action like this and succeed.

Use the video to spread the word along with these links

https://slashdot.org/submission/104508…

This is not an issue that affects 4chan alone, it affects all users of the internet, as it provides a method by which users can be censored by their ISPs. As such, anyone who believes in the freedom of speech we hold so dear on the internet should consider this an affront to their rights.

4) Once you’re done with that, WAIT. Shit will probably be fixed by tomorrow at best.
5) NO BLACK FAXES, NO DDOSING, NO ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES
6) This is not Chanology

Which oddly enough, I don’t know about their landline services, but I’m surfing /b/ and the rest of 4chan at the moment off their cellular service. (which blows btw, not recommended) Saying it’s on is not the same as saying it’s not slow as hell right now though…

Why is the dow at 9000+

What most don’t see is that the reason for uptick is that many companies have been cutting back with huge savings.

Is the recession over? Where is it stabalizing? Unemployement is continuing to rise. Jobless recovery?
