Trampoline

The first modern Trampoline was built by George Nissen and Larry Griswold in 1936. Nissen was a gymnastics and diving competitor and Griswold was a tumbler on the gymnastics team, both at the University of Iowa, USA. They had observed trapeze artists using a tight net to add entertainment value to their performance and experimented by stretching a piece of canvas, in which they had inserted grommets along each side, to an angle iron frame by means of coiled springs. It was initially used to train tumblers but soon became popular in its own right. Nissen explained that the name came from the Spanish trampolín, meaning a diving board. George Nissen had heard the word on a demonstration tour in Mexico in the late 1930's and decided to use an anglicized form as the trademark for the apparatus.

In 1942, Griswold and Nissen created the Griswold-Nissen Trampoline & Tumbling Company, and began making trampolines commercially in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

Trampoline as Sport

The competitive gymnastic sport of trampolining has been part of the Olympic Games since 2000. On a modern competitive trampoline, a skilled athlete can bounce to a height of up to 10 meters (33 ft), performing multiple somersaults and twists. Trampolines also feature in the competitive sport of Slamball, a variant of basketball, and Toss a ball, a variant of volleyball.

Safe use of the Trampoline

Family-oriented commercial areas in North America such as shopping centers, carnivals, and so on, often include closed inflatable trampolines (CITs) as a children's attraction. These have safety nets on the sides to prevent injuries.

Using a Trampoline can be dangerous, and in organized clubs and gyms there are usually large safety end-decks with foam pads at each end and spotters placed alongside the trampoline to try to break the fall of any athlete who loses control and falls. The majority of injuries occur on privately owned home trampolines. Bouncing off a trampoline can result in a fall of 3–4 meters (10–13 ft) from the peak of a bounce to the ground or a fall into the suspension springs and frame.

Optimism on US Oil Production

United States will become "US a net exporter of natural gas by 2020" and will become "almost self-sufficient in energy, in net terms, by 2035."  

Two different approaches by President George W Bush and President Barack Obama have led us to the point where Optimism on America's future become brighter as the country realize hope on becoming a net exporter of Oil and Oil products. President Bush made oil deals with Saudi families and fought 2 wars defending Saudi and other middle eastern countries oil at the American peoples expense. President Obama quietly went about while Protecting the environment encourage private sector investment in renewable energy and a ramp up drilling on land already designated for oil production, in 2011-2012 America produced 40% of the energy it need for the first time in years.

We have increased oil production to the highest levels in 16 years. Natural gas production is the highest it's been in decades. We have seen increases in coal production and coal employment. We doubled fuel efficiency standards on cars. In the middle of the next decade, any car you buy, you're going to end up going twice as far on a gallon of gas. That's why we doubled clean energy production. All these things have contributed to us lowering our oil imports to the lowest levels in 16 years.

"Cozening up to Saudi Arabia Kings and princes is not an energy policy".

This is not an Energy Policy

Debt and deficits: Whenever a Bush is president, private debt and government deficits seem to grow. Middle- and low-income Americans borrow to offset the income squeeze of recessions. The hallmark of Bush economics during both presidencies has been favoritism toward capital over workers. Federal budget deficits have soared because of a combination of upper-bracket tax favors, middle-income job shrinkage, big federal spending to hype election-year economic growth, huge defense outlays and overseas military spending for the wars in Iraq and elsewhere. Imperial hubris costs a lot of money.

Politically, over four generations the Bush past has been prologue. Despite George W. Bush's new good ol' boy image cowboy boots and born-again ties to the religious right his basic tendencies go in the same directions — oil, crony capitalism, top 1% economics and military industrial-establishment loyalties — that the previous Bush and Walker generations have traveled. The old biases and loyalties seem ineradicable; so, too, for old grudges, like the two-generation fixation on Saddam Hussein.

Obama deem to make America energy independent

Since taking office, I have supported an all-of-the-above energy approach that will allow us to take control of our energy future, one where we safely and responsibly develop America's many energy resources--including natural gas, wind, solar, oil, clean coal, and bio-fuels -while investing in clean energy and increasing fuel efficiency standards to reduce our dependence on foreign oil. I know the country that harnesses the power of clean, renewable energy will lead the global economy in the 21st century. That's why I have made the largest investment in clean energy and energy efficiency in American history and proposed an ambitious Clean Energy Standard to generate 80 percent of our electricity from clean energy sources like wind, solar, clean coal, and natural gas by 2035. Source: The Top American Science Questions, by sciencedebate.org , Sept 4, 201

Mitt Romney does no even like the Bushes Dog!

On June 27, 2007, The Boston Globe reported that in 1983 the Romney family strapped the dog in a crate on the roof of the family station wagon and drove 12 hours from Boston to a lake house in Ontario. Somewhere along the way, poor Seamus soiled the crate and the car's back window. As The Globe reported it, Romney stopped at a gas station, hosed down Seamus and the car, put the dog back into the wind-protected kennel and drove on. 

Three days later, Globe reporter Michael Levenson wrote that "Time.com's swampland blog has been flooded with more than 300 comments from readers complaining of animal cruelty.

Bo welcome President Obama

Based on the behavior of previous four-legged White House occupants, it is hard to draw too many conclusions. During the George W. Bush presidency, Barney the Scottish terrier had his own Web page on www.whitehouse.gov (which he shared with the Bushes’ other dog, Miss Beasley , and showed his gratitude by biting a Reuters reporter during the administration’s waning days. Socks and Buddy, the Clinton's  cat and dog, drew enough mail that Hillary Rodham Clinton assembled a book of letters, though Socks’s nastiness to Buddy got him gifted to Betty Currie whenthe Clinton's left the White House.

Why did Ronald Reagan Kill, "Law of the Sea Treaty".

Jamaica Still bear the burden of Maintaining the site of the Law of the Sea Headquarters!

Now, "Jamaica Conference Center"

Located on the picturesque Kingston Waterfront, the Jamaica Conference Center was built in 1982 as the venue for the preparatory meetings of the International Seabed Authority, an arm of the United Nations. The Center was built to United Nations specifications and its facilities and services rival the best.The Center comprises five Conference Rooms, three Caucus Rooms, Delegates Lounges, a Restaurant, a Private Dining and Reception Area.  

Law of the Sea Treaty once again rears its ugly head in U.S. Senate

By Steven Groves The Heritage Foundation

It's bad enough when American tax dollars are blown on government-created debacles such as Solyndra and "Operation Fast and Furious." But at least in those instances the expenditures carried a bare modicum of democratic legitimacy.

What if, on the other hand, the U.S. Treasury was raided for billions of dollars, which were then redistributed to the rest of the world by an international bureaucracy headquartered in Kingston, Jamaica?

Kingston Jamaica Law of the Sea HQ

That's what will surely happen if the U.S. Senate gives its advice and consent to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, a deeply flawed treaty that was rejected by President Ronald Reagan in 1982. (The treaty was revived by President Bill Clinton, who sent it to the Senate in 1994. It has languished there ever since.) The Barack Obama administration is pushing for United States Senate action on the treaty, and Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., is currently scheduling a series of hearings to extol the purported benefits of LOST, the first of which is set for May 23.

Of course, the vampire must feed, and its sustenance is American dollars, sucked out of the U.S. Treasury by a provision of LOST known as Article 82. If the U.S. joins LOST, it will be required by Article 82 to forfeit royalties generated from oil and gas development on the continental shelf beyond 200 nautical miles — an area known as the "extended continental shelf" (ECS).

"United States has a big glut of crude oil sitting in the middle of the country"

Remove all regulations, give the Private sector what they want, government should get out of their way. Give the Private sector American Land, American waterways and American Territorial waters to let them drill! drill! drill!. The result an oversupply of American Produced Oil and rising Gasoline Prices!

Reuters

Right now, the United States has a big glut of crude oil sitting in the middle of the country, and no easy way to move it. The combination of surging production from Canada's tar sands and North Dakota's Bakken region has overwhelmed the existing pipelines to the Gulf of Mexico, where it would ordinarily be refined and shipped onto the global market. As a result, the price of American and Canadian crude oil is trading at a steep discount to varieties from elsewhere in the world. After all, with fewer potential customers, oil buyers can dictate friendlier prices. West Texas Intermediate, which is traditionally considered a benchmark variety of crude used to price other types, is selling for about $106 a barrel. But according to Oil Price Information Service analyst Tom Kloza, oil from North Dakota has recently been selling for around $83 a barrel. Canadian crude has been trading for even less. 

The United States is producing more oil right now than any other time in its history, The US oil and Gas consumption is at its lowest at any time in the past 10 years. There are millions of Barrels of Oil sitting all over the United States creating this surplus of Oil. Our refineries are running below capacity because the Oil companies refuse to bring these refineries up to maximum capacity. By the way these refineries were built in part by Tax Payers money on the very promise that if the government help to build these refineries the oil companies will be able to deliver gasoline cheaper.

There are many or all parts of this sinerio ordinary Americans like me seem not to be able to understand, it makes me feel stupid just to think that when we have lots of oil the price of gasoline goes up anyway. I used to think that if there is an over supply of a commodity  in the case of oil and there is less demand then price goes down. That used to be  Econ-101  and the way things are supposed to work in a normal free market society, as it currently is in the United States the beacon of free enterprise. But, there is nothing Normal about how things are in the US anymore, there is a place called Wall Street that the brightest people in the world work  and because of technology these people do not even have to be at wall Street to work there.

About $1.20 of  the cost of a gallon of gas is speculation.

Companies like Goldman Sacks according to Reuters, " Goldman Sachs is now urging investors to go long on American crude futures. In other words, the bank is telling it's customers to buy cheap while they still can". That means although America is producing more cheap oil than it ever has but the market is now and has been for some time controlled by speculators on wall street who through saber-rattling and corporate and political propaganda are able to create instability in the market place  and drive up the price of Oil. The people who produce Oil and Gasoline does not anymore make money from the Oil Production itself but from the rigging of the market place and Political gamesmanship.

 About $1.20 of from the price of each gallon of gasoline or oil based product purchased today has nothing to do with oil production and delivery at the Pump but with speculation by men in suits in offices who has never seen Oil Sands, never been on a rig would never be seen around oil production or delivery but hedge their bets on finding a way to deliver gasoline to the marketplace at the highest cost bleeding consumers of the last penny and some making themselves richer and even further removed from the plight of the people around them and the country they proclaim they love.

The middle class worker Fitted in well!

The Middle Class Worker

 In the Richest Nation in the World lies a Large Industrial City. A site of one of the largest slave labor camps. Near the center are community settlements where slaves live. Each Morning, people move "herd-like" from those quarters into the Industrial Camp. Each one is in his or her station by 7:30 A.M. Here they report to their masters for their duties. Then they remained chained until 5:00 P.M when they are released. They have no choice on how many hours they must labor , sometimes they are required to work overtime until their master tells them when they may leave.

Each year , they are told when to take their vacation , for how long, and when they must return. They have little choice as to how much money they earn. They are allowed very little time for lunch and coffee breaks during these labor hours. They remain in their chains with great fear because the masters punish them with the "lay-off" whip. It is said that some slaves that are good and faithful, have felt the sting of the whip. Day by day, year by year they toil until the master decides that is time for them to stop working.

He then releases them to retirement camps where they are forced to sit idle and wait for death. Its a well known fact that the old slaves that try to work are sometimes whipped with the "stop-your-pension" whip.

I know these slaves camps really exist, for I am a free man who lives among the slaves. I am business for myself. I am truly free In the morning called for by my own schedule. I decide my own hours, I can even sleep-in late while the slaves are at work. I can vacation when, where and how long I please. I am free to take my coffee break  and lunch break when I decide, and course I decide my own paycheck because am no longer a slave. I can choose to work when and where I please. I am free to stay in the city for as long as I want or to move to greener pastures if I decide to.

I worked for Target Corporation for 9 years and this was my exact story. I always felt trapped, I felt enslaved and was asked to enslave others. That was a difficult thing for me to do, I did, it was my Job. I was fired, then told I was retired. I did not make that decision someone made it for me.

Jamaica"s 9th Prime Minister must confront crime as #1 issue.

Hon Andrew Holness Prime Minister of Jamaica.

Today when Andrew Holness takes the oath of Office at Kings House and become her 9th Prime Minister, This should send a signal to those who have fought for freedom, won Freedom and those still fighting for Freedom it is Possible not easy but Possible.

One of the responsibility that has eluded us a nation since Independence is citizens of Jamaica does not see a personal responsibility in our nation future and this must be addressed. I did not know I had this  personal responsibility until later in life witnessing the release of Nelson Mandela from Prison. The understanding  that Nelson  Mandela at some point of his life made the conscious decision that some one had to make this sacrifice, he did, Black People in South Africa and the wider continent of Africa needed to be free. Nelson Mandela knew that took personal responsibility giving up what he thought was everything, making a massive sacrifice. Every Citizen of Jamaica must be reminded, personal Sacrifice matters.

At Independence Jamaican"s did not either understand or adapt the the idea that for the success of our young Nation to succeed this responsibility belong to every Citizen. After 50 years of Independence as citizens we still struggle with the that fact. Depending on our leaders Prime Ministers, Government Ministers, Members of Parliament and and others elected to lead bears these responsibilities.

Today opens a new Chapter in the future of Jamaica, a young 39 year old takes the daunting task of leading this Nation. This is a most difficult time for most nations across the world stricken in financial turmoil that has caused Economic chaos and civil unrest as a result the gap between the rich and poor widens. In Europe and the United States Conservative Governments see the removal of safety nets to the Poor, children, students and elderly as the answer to the world financial woes if this should continue it would create further civil unrest. This is not be the case because these safety nets were brought about at times when countries were going through the same circumstances as they are now and

Summer of Mosquitoes

Mosquito Repellent Coils

CLICK HERE

This has been a spring of enormous rain there are Floods everywhere so late spring and early summer will bring an outbreak of flies and Mosquitoes.We can help to reduce the levels of this Mosquito outbreak by doing simple things around our homes.

These are a few way to help:-
1) Look around your yard the areas you don't often occupy to find containers that may have collected water during the rainy weather.
2) Flower Pots are friendly environment for mosquitoes, check and make sure all your Flower Pots and bases are draining properly. With the amount of rain we had recently the dirt in these pots gets hard and water may be retained in them.
3) Check the gutters around your home clean them of all the leaves and gunk these can help to retain water and become breeding ground for mosquitoes.
4) Make sure you cut the shrubs around around your home and clear them of clutter mosquitoes and flies find these as friendly areas to survive as the remain cool and accommodating to mosquito insects and flies.
