After a few weeks of understanding the shape of things to come, it is fairly obvious that periods of heightened volcanic eruption follows the behaviour of tropical storms closely.
No Nobby Prizes for the work. You have to have theories that fit in with what everyone else is saying for to get them. And for money you need a government wind-up.
I have just watched a video called “The great global warming swindle“. It’s makers seem to think it was just an idea by a lone philosopher following the time when all the climate bods in the backroom had been talking about a new ice-age.
In the early 1960’s Britain had been ravaged by severe winters and the unions in charge of coal mining workers were causing political mayhem every winter ever since. In the mid 1970’s Margaret Thatcher came to power following a dirty tricks campaign sponsored by the US under the generous auspices of Richard Nixon.
By this time the miners had got themselves a union boss who was capable of making the government pay them for lung diseases and Margaret Thatcher saw the opportunity of killing two birds with one stone. All she needed was a little manipulation.
Once rumour has it that she put money on the table for universities to do climate research. And that ladies and gentlemen is why nearly all the argument for global warming comes from the one weather station in the world supporting the theory.

The very idea of basing anything to do with weather on the output of one station should be immediately and obviously daft to all of you my dear readers. But you are too stupid to have thought about it until now. And that is how rumours and politics work.
This site is extraordinary lumpy. I am using Linux with KDE and I’ll bet they are using Windows Server with lots and lots of Javascript.
OK. You may remember Bob Gedolf and Band Aid?
He set up a pop music charity that Thatcher’s government refused to recognise as a charity. (Refused to free the proceeds from taxation.)
She also refused to release some butter from the butter mountains that were a major part of the British News in those days, Edward Heath having taken us all in to the Common Market fiasco.
She famously never spoke a straight sentence or answered a direct question in her regime. It imploded eventually as do all unpopular governments everywhere unless shored up by even more unscrupulous agencies. But she was confronted by the rather naive pop star about the medical properties of butter for starving people.
The situation in Ethiopia continued until the weather finally changed. Hey; why don’t we blame her inactivity on the piracy menace in that part of the Indian Ocean?
Bob Geldof became disillusioned with national governments everywhere, not having realised that sending money to Ethiopia was like sending petrol to a house on fire. You can read his memoirs about it on his web page:

Never mind all that, this site wants me to spell realised with a z.
I think I have had enough of this. How about you?
I hate meddling automatic spellcheckers.
As for Geldof & co, I remember perfectly well the [i]Band Aid[/i] megahit – and I think people should be willing to donate their [b]after tax[/b] money to causes they find worthy. It is not as if the participants in the concert / on the record lost any money. They all seem to have come out on the winning side, free advertising and all.
My take at the time was that we ought to start a “snuff aid” instead – collecting money for a contract on Mengistu. The situation in Ethiopia was not going to improve with him around, especially since starvation among his political adversaries was seen by his government as beneficial.
So – political change is more likely than weather change to have been behind any improvement. Improved data collection and analysis have shown that the “desertification” the media were running over with was bogus, and the disaster area has moved to wherever the military/political conflicts are raging at any time.
Why the hell my profile has to appear below my initial post is beyond my understanding.
As for spell-checkers; I can’t do without them. I am not a trained typist thus never look at the screen until too late.
Communism seems to have had the same impact on all the citizens of every country it is allowed to roam free on:
mass satarvation from political control at a distance and of course the corruption endemic in all political systems.
The trouble with dictatorships is that you can’t do anything about them short of violence.
Mengistu (From Wikipedia)
Haile Mariam Mengistu born 27 May 1937) is an Ethiopian politician who was the most prominent officer of the Derg, the Communist military junta that governed Ethiopia from 1974 to 1987, and the President of the People’s Democratic Republic of Ethiopia from 1987 to 1991.
I don’t think the Johnson option of killing everyone in the country (like what he started in VietNam) was a very good idea. It’s odd to think that at home he started out as one of the most radical socialists their country had produced in the White House.
Too bad it turned into a ****-storm.
Too bad he made Richard Nixon look like a positive change for the better.
Too bad they will never get it right now, not after George the thickest.

Generator Balancing: The Key to Optimal Performance
The world of machinery is a finely tuned orchestra, with each component playing a crucial role in the overall performance. Among these components, rotors stand as powerful instruments that demand precise balance to deliver peak efficiency. This is where the concept of generator balancing comes into play. Generator balancing is essential for ensuring that machines operate smoothly without undue vibration, which can lead to inefficiencies, premature wear, and costly downtime.
Understanding Generator Balancing
Generator balancing refers to the meticulous process of aligning the mass within a rotating device to minimize vibration. Uneven weight distribution within a rotor can create imbalances, which in turn generate vibrations that adversely affect performance. This imbalance not only hampers efficiency but can also lead to severe damage to machinery over time. Therefore, effective generator balancing is pivotal in maintaining the longevity and reliability of equipment.
The Role of Portable Balancers
Advanced tools like the Balanset-1A and Balanset-4 have revolutionized the balancing of rotors across various industries. The Balanset-1A is designed for dynamic balancing in two planes, making it versatile enough for applications such as crushers, fans, mulchers, and centrifuges. Similarly, the Balanset-4 enhances this capability by incorporating four channels for more complex balancing tasks, specifically beneficial for balancing cardan shafts and measuring systems for balancing machines.
Benefits of Effective Generator Balancing
Enhanced Efficiency: Properly balanced generators operate more efficiently. With reduced vibration comes lower energy consumption, ensuring that machines deliver peak performance with minimal energy waste.
Extended Equipment Life: By mitigating vibrations, generator balancing safeguards against wear and tear. This directly translates to a longer lifespan for critical components, reducing the need for costly replacements.
Increased Safety: Machines operating under optimal conditions eliminate hazardous situations, making the workplace safer for operators and maintenance personnel.
Cost Savings: Reduced downtime associated with breakdowns leads to significant cost savings. Additionally, efficient performance translates to lower operational costs, benefitting the bottom line.
Implementing Generator Balancing
Achieving optimal generator balancing involves a systematic approach. Initial vibration measurements are crucial for identifying imbalances. After analyzing these measurements, calibration weights are installed to correct the imbalance, providing a smooth transition to the new balance. This adjustment is imperative to ensure that the machinery operates without excessive vibrations that could lead to operational inefficiencies.
Technological Innovations in Balancing
The landscape of generator balancing is continually evolving, with advances in technology paving the way for enhanced efficiency and ease of use. Vibration sensors, optical sensors like laser tachometers, and portable monitoring devices have made it simpler to conduct assessments and adjustments on-site. Such innovations allow for real-time monitoring and immediate corrective action, thereby streamlining the balancing process across various applications.
The Importance of Regular Balancing
Regular generator balancing should be viewed as a proactive strategy rather than a reactive measure. Just like routine maintenance checks are crucial for machinery, consistent balancing ensures that potential issues are identified and addressed before they escalate. This is especially important for critical machinery such as centrifuges, which play a vital role in industries ranging from healthcare to chemical manufacturing. Neglecting balancing can lead to catastrophic failures, underscoring the necessity for routine checks.
Conclusion: The Imperative of Generator Balancing
Generator balancing is not merely a technical task; it is an essential practice that upholds the integrity of machinery and, by extension, the productivity of entire enterprises. By investing in effective balancing solutions, industries can secure longevity, enhance operational efficiency, and ultimately save significant costs. The path to superior performance lies in the hands of those who recognize the importance of generator balancing and implement it as a necessary aspect of their operational strategy.
