Geld regiert die Welt. Doch wer regiert das Geld? Lord Josiah Charles Stamp, der ehemalige Direktor der Bank of England und einst einer der reichsten Männer der Welt, erklärte 1937: "Das moderne Bankwesen produziert Geld aus dem Nichts. Dieser Vorgang ist vielleicht die erstaunlichste Erfindung in der Geschichte der Menschheit. Die Banker besitzen die Erde. Nimm den Bankern die Erde weg, aber lass ihnen die Macht, Geld zu schöpfen, dann werden sie im Handumdrehen wieder genug Geld haben, um sie zurückzukaufen." Eine kleine Gruppe von Privatbankiers regiert im Geheimen unsere Welt. Diese Bankiers steuern nicht nur die FED oder die EZB, sondern auch überregionale Organisationen wie die UNO, die Weltbank, den IWF und die BIZ. Sie manipulieren den Gold- und Silberpreis, haben die Immobilienblase und die Bankenkrise bewusst herbeigeführt und stürzen die Welt absichtlich in den Abgrund. Das jahrhundertealte Ziel dieser Geldelite ist kein Geringeres als die Weltherrschaft, genannt die Neue Weltordnung! Und dafür nehmen sie jedes Opfer in Kauf. Sie planen sogar ganz offiziell die nach ihrer Meinung nötige Dezimierung der Weltbevölkerung. Und wir machen es ihnen so leicht! Michael Morris erklärt uns: "Seit mehr als zweihundert Jahren bricht in regelmäßigen Abständen die Wirtschaft zusammen, weil es genau so geplant und gewollt ist. Und genauso geplant ist auch der nächste Börsencrash – und der kommt sehr bald. Denn dadurch werden das Geld und damit die Macht von unten nach oben umverteilt... Immer wieder fallen wir auf dieselben alten Taschenspielertricks herein. Das geht nur deswegen, weil die wenigsten Menschen verstehen, wie unser globales Finanzsystem funktioniert. Es ist derart schwierig gehalten, damit sich kaum einer wirklich damit auseinandersetzt. Und das ist bewusst so gemacht. Dabei ist es im Grunde so simpel!" Michael Morris erklärt auf ungewöhnlich einfache und verständliche Weise, wie das Bankwesen und Finanzsystem funktioniert, wie und warum Inflation entsteht und wie sie verhindert werden könnte! Und er zeigt detailliert auf, wer dahintersteckt, wer diese Welt samt den unterschiedlichsten Politikern und Medien regiert. Hat man das einmal verstanden, gehen einem die Augen auf! Der Autor deckt wie noch keiner zuvor das Geflecht aktueller Firmenbeteiligungen der Rothschild- und Rockefeller-Familien sowie das IWF-Konzept für eine Weltwährung auf. Aber er zeigt auch Alternativen im wirtschaftlichen wie im sozialen Bereich. Spannend, packend, aufrüttelnd und topaktuell!

The dependence on animal agriculture and fishing as mainstay of the New Zealand economy is impacting on the lives of sentient animals. It also has a damaging effect on the environment and public health. Many in the agricultural industry are aware of this. Their solutions of further intensification and new technology may lower environmental impacts in some areas such as greenhouse gas emissions, but these lead to other environmental and animal welfare concerns. We propose instead that the New Zealand economy should divest totally from animal production. This is primarily for reasons of ethics, but there are also economic considerations. With the shift in consumer demand to plant-based and low impact eating, new technologies such as precision fermentation and lab-based meat are threatening the animal agriculture industry. Alternative means to grow our economy are suggested as a stimulus to further discussion.

Additionally, ultrafast spectroscopic techniques are used to determine the carrier capture times of quantum posts. Dynamics of charge pumped directly into the posts is also investigated, resulting in time and pump wavelength dependent absorption behavior that show complex charge dynamics.

An all-occasion greeting card featuring the iconic Mr. Peanut by Michael Morris and Vincent Trasov. "Borderline Case" reproduces an ink drawing titled Distorted Portrait of Mr. Peanut from 2005 by Vincent Trasov; the image appropriates an Andre Kertesz photo from 1929 titled Distorted Portrait of Carlo Rim from the collection of Ydessa Hendeles. -- artmetropole.com (accessed Dec. 4, 2012).

Please see the pdf version of the abstract for an accurate reproduction.] Wave run-up is the vertical uprush of water when an incident wave impinges on a free- surface penetrating body. For large volume offshore structures the wave run-up on the weather side of the supporting columns is particularly important for air-gap design and ultimately the avoidance of pressure impulse loads on the underside of the deck structure. This investigation focuses on the limitations of conventional wave diffraction theory, where the free-surface boundary condition is treated by a Stokes expansion, in predicting the harmonic components of the wave run-up, and the presentation of a simplified procedure for the prediction of wave run-up. The wave run-up is studied on fixed vertical cylinders in plane progressive waves. These progressive waves are of a form suitable for description by Stokes' wave theory whereby the typical energy content of a wave train consists of one fundamental harmonic and corresponding phase locked Fourier components. The choice of monochromatic waves is indicative of ocean environments for large volume structures in the diffraction regime where the assumption of potential flow theory is applicable, or more formally A/a

Abstract: Finite Element (FE) computer programs are becoming increasingly popular as a tool to simulate machining processes. These programs are useful for predicting tool forces, stress and strain distributions during deformation, residual stresses, and a variety of other parameters. Unfortunately, the accuracy of the predicted results depends heavily on the knowledge of the material properties, such as the flow stress. Thus, a testing method is required that is capable of accurately determining the flow stress properties at the surface of materials. Indentation testing is explored as a means of determining these properties. In this testing the load versus stroke curve is recorded and used as a means of inversely determining the material properties through Finite Element (FE). The use of both spherical and conical indenters was explored in this study. It is shown that conical indenters exhibit non-uniqueness in the flow stress results. These non-unique results have a common intersection at what is known as the representative strain of the indenter. This representative strain is dependent on the geometry (cone angle and tip diameter) of the indenter and a procedure is outlined for using FE analysis to determine this value. While the use of the pile-height (the height of material piling-up around the indentation) is possible as an indicator of the strain-hardening exponent of the material, these results are shown to be dependent on the friction factor that is assumed in the simulation. Spherical indentation is shown to produce unique results for the flow stress, provided that the material is indented to a sufficient depth. A procedure is outlined for determining the flow stress by iteratively running the FEM simulation until the sum- squared errors is minimized between the experimental and simulated load-stroke curves. Additionally, a procedure is demonstrated in which the flow stress can be determined through the use of multiple static-loading indentation tests utilizing standard Rockwell hardness machinery. This reduces the need for using specialized instrumented indentation equipment. Multiple experiments were conducted on samples of aluminum and hardened steel. Reasonable values for the flow stress were found using both conical and spherical indentations. However, the conical indentation required that a value for friction between the interfaces be assumed and adequate measurements of the surface profile be measured. This was shown to have considerable influence on the results. The results from spherical indentation are shown to not be influenced by the assumed friction between the interfaces and not require the measurement of surface profiles. Unique solutions were found from the spherical indentation with the use of only the load-stroke data. For this reason, spherical indentation is recommended over conical indentation for flow stress determination.
