You are looking at the atomical structure of Americium.

The ingredient that enables the detection of smoke in those alarms.

Its a byproduct if you like of the Nuclear Generation.

That includes Nuclear Medicine, Nuclear Physics, Nuclear Power and of course Nuclear Weaponry.

What they all have in common is science, and that’s why its interesting to ponder the origins and outcomes of the discovery.

The quantum world already exists, but its interesting to see what happens when its discovered and explored by various aspects of humanity.

The historic generational aspects of the 20th century ambassadors harbingers of scientific and political change deserve mention.

For whatever reason the world had been obsessed almost religiously to regular and fierce killing to protect and preserve national and notional ideas of social control (democracy) and an economic ideal based on the principle of scarcity, somewhat at odds with other aspects of science emerging spontaneously at the same time.

And then a generation looking back in horror at the severity and rapid speed of our history, and barely any time to rebuild or consider the costs..our freedom had been preserved and we would continue to explore and the train of energy pushing the global emergence…had not stopped…the new technology was here and would be tested and given the results surely or not it would prove a panacea for this human ailment known as ‘war’? Or not?

That could be a plausible question to the answer of why we are still in shock by what our ancestors and family did, but ironically they sleep quietly in their graves unbeknown of all the fuss and shananigans created in this Nuclear Age. Understanding the generational and historical perspective of the issues which effect us today, may reconcile the differences created in these time belts.  What was the intended justification and as unplausible as it seems in your mind could it possibly be valid – for the times?  Is our protest or indifference the product of this generational shift and our forgetting of part of our own genetic memory, pushed away from the facts perhaps by a desire to reach a better truth.

Should we react with horror at the word ‘radioactive’ and ‘isotope’ and should be collapse at the concept of nuclear fission…how should we react to something which is so close to the truth? Can we be trusted with our own knowledge and do we ever have the awareness to appreciate (at the time) the full implications of our passion and work and who did we trust when we asked questions about the nature of the expected outcome from such a fantastic and powerful gadget?

So many questions to ask people about how they felt the after effects of two major wars and then the demonstration of ’special’ weapon, courtesy of the intelligencia of academia, corporatoria, and geo and local political reckoners.

The emergence of science and politics follows a peculiar path and the memory distort effect varies over time creating a resonant political echo not necessarily cognisant of the facts.

Its our ability to explore the past human realities and viewpoints that will create a three dimensional viewpoint of our current being and the aspects of ourselves that mirror history, and how we change old programs as we learn to live without intent.

Is the smoke alarm a modern miracle or a residue of a forgotten age that we forgot to delete from our current reality, whichever way it makes you think.

Its probably not the aspects of radiation and contamination and death that disturbs us ( we created the weapon) it may well be something buried deep which speaks about our uncertainty with technology we seem so familiar and yet at the same time elements within us use it as a matter of contempt.

We are our biggest threat not the weapon or the smoke alarm and this is where we need to analyse the messenger as well as whats been spent.

In the meanwhile sleep well knowing that Americium is flying overhead in anticipation of fire or some other unanticipated event.

OR

Don’t sleep and calculate the debris and junk arising from our modern life and nuclear generation.

Americium (pronounced /?æm??r?si?m/, AM-?-RIS-ee-?m) is a synthetic element that has the symbol Am and atomic number 95. A radioactive metallic element, americium is an actinide that was obtained in 1944 by Glenn T. Seaborg who was bombarding plutonium with neutrons and was the fourth transuranic element to be discovered. It was named for the Americas, by analogy with europium.^[1] Americium is widely used in commercial ionization chamber smoke detectors, as well as in neutron sources and industrial gauges. (Wiki)

Americium was first isolated by Glenn T. Seaborg, Leon O. Morgan, Ralph A. James, and Albert Ghiorso in late 1944 at the wartime Metallurgical Laboratory at the University of Chicago (now known as Argonne National Laboratory). The team created the isotope ²⁴¹Am by subjecting ²³⁹Pu to successive neutron capture reactions in a nuclear reactor. This created ²⁴⁰Pu and then ²⁴¹Pu which in turn decayed into ²⁴¹Am via beta decay.^[10]

Seaborg was granted a patent for “Element 95 and Method of Producing Said Element,” whose unusually terse claim number 1 reads simply, “Element 95.”^[11] The discovery of americium and curium was first announced informally on a children’s quiz show in 1945.^[12]

Smoke Alarms are said to contain 1/5000 of a gram of Americinium….60kg is said to be required to create enough critical mass to create a bomb – calculating the hundreds of millions of smoke detectors all over the world – no doubt enough for a few bombs but instead that radiation is distributed evenly across the globe in a innocuous flashing household appliance. Diabolical waste disposal or clever human ingenuity – you be the judge.

Nasa and Honeywell devised the ionising chamber aadjustable smoke detector to protect the Skylab

Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. NASA engineers knew that simple fact when they were designing Skylab in the 1970s. Skylab was the first U.S. space station, and the astronauts would need to know if a fire had started or if noxious gases were loose in the vehicle. Teaming up with Honeywell Corporation, NASA invented the first adjustable smoke detector with different sensitivity levels to prevent false alarms.

You can read about smoke detectors in more detail in How Smoke Detectors Work, but the first one to hit the consumer market is called the ionization smoke detector. That essentially means that it uses a radioactive element called americium-241 to spot smoke or harmful gasses. When clean air particles of oxygen and nitrogen move through smoke detectors, the americium-241 ionizes them, which creates an electrical current. If foreign smoke particles enter the smoke detector, it disrupts that interaction, triggering the alarm.

In an exclusive news poll conducted by the Australian newspaper, ‘The Australian’, readers answer the tough question themselves.

Answer the question yourself and we all come closer to and learn more about the latest rising star on the horizon, the Australian dollar ($AU.) Putting the survey to the test we recorded no change in one heartland of spending and bounty, postcode 3000 Melbourne…your typical male.

And here are the results so far for the nation:

Clearly its good news for almost half Australians and bad news mainly for the other half…

A good chunk clearly see no change but then again when you change the postcode it could all be different:

The Australian’s exclusive poll – Is the rising Australian dollar good or bad for you?

Conclusion left for you.

I haven’t heard much news from Aunty lately?,

not that im too concerned, someone mentioned she was going away,

was wondering though if a party or someone, would consider the idea of an independant national broadcaster?

Aunty II has too much of a Hollywood Blockbuster ring to it…and the board of the ABC could litigate its commercial concerns…

Uncle has also been used media-phorically….someone else can come up with a name!

it could just be a cheap web based self editing and publishing system operated by a robot or team of web agents ( not like the CIA or a reporter)…a socially reformed HAL type technology could manage the news ‘thing’. It could be linked in a gooey fashion to the HTML version of the Australian Constitution – or a revised version that could be interrogated and refreshed by news ‘thing’…if something odd but new ‘happens’ which is not in the constitution ( or in it) “Hey Look at this!!”…….. “i’m just the ‘news thing’ robot but an amendment was just made which will/may/did/did not effect your human rights….the ‘thing’ would probably drive us crazy so there should be an ‘emergency’ button clearly labelled ‘OFF’. They would appease the Big Brother 1984 conspiratorists and would also be a plus for Rudd and Wong pushing right along the ETS and Climate Change scheme, saving electricity by switching ‘OFF’ may be the perfect Climate Change solution simultaneously giving a rest to an otherwise confused and mis-informed planet. Run with that one I don’t want any credit, maybe some free solar panels for the roof.

Provided we hire enough think tanks to think of it, it could be brought in under budget, otherwise it could be part of the next STIMULUS package…that’s of course if we reach a consensus on what ‘news’ IS and cater equally and demo-crate-ally in an agreed set of social baskets: sport, advertising,  nostalgia and of course blood and guts – exempt all of these categories from the definition of NEWS and we might be down to ten minutes of gobbily gook IN BOX flux getting down to the real questions. …quite a paradigm shift…. anything ‘old’ stored in an accessible cabinet marked ‘old news’ and THEN IF automated report-bot agents wrongly submit already filed information, flagged OLD, and deleted before it reaches the population.  Some sort of cyber-quarantine to maintain the freshness of information.  Call it the New Economy of News…and make it accessible and brief enough that it’s not worth selling.

Massive cost saving’s in theory through firstly the repetition and re-broadcasting of ’same’ information, anyone or thing reported on the news would therefore need to be ‘different’ or ‘new’…possibly connected to the current misleading industry terminology ‘news’. Automatic criticism the massive loss of jobs, union outcrys, debates in parliament…yes yes yes  it would have to be processed through some ‘consenus building’ channel, a global panel of new news experts to engineer and reshape the paradigm…. easily justified if the scope of existing departmental responsibilities are widened (or duplicated and then changed just a bit) …for example…’Closing the Gap’ ….continues to address indigenous social inequality and then miraculously widens to other parts of the community……Opening the Gap and removing the blockage to relevant and useful information sharing …without all the crap…..and if the government wants to earn extra revenue (provided Oz-Bot or such free channel ever happened) , package and sell the existing arrangement and said subsidiaries…1, 2, make up some more of course and then sell them too…7, 9, and 12 should be left vacant (as they are now) leaving 3, 4, 5, 6 and 11…five channels left to puff up the public purse just nicely – thankyou for the change. Still, all of this is just an idea which probably happened earlier or someone somewhere forgot to send an address….or cheekily maybe Aunty is ready to graduate and stand briefly amongt all great media junkies, and other purveyors of different views….

On that note dear Aunty you are big round and fat, but we love ya anyway!

And then just in:

New Matilda’s Ben Eltham reports on the AN Smith Lecture in Journalism at  Melbourne University last night. ABC’s Mark Scott delivers a relevant lesson, applicable no doubt to his own empire – the ABC.

“The media Caesars of today seem largely out of solutions — and instead challenge reality by seeking to deny a revolution that has already taken place by attempting to use a power that no longer exists.”

The speech largely proceeded in this vein as Scott took great pains to describe the bleeding obvious. Newspapers are struggling. Classifieds are migrating online. Young people are deserting old media. Twitter and Facebook are cool.

“When you look back on it, some fundamental weaknesses in the traditional publishing and broadcasting model were evident long before the internet revolution.”

It’s true that media policy in this country has been dominated by vested interests:

“not much more than a tawdry chaos of compromises designed to appease the moguls,”

…as Scott phrased it. It’s also true that journalism can no longer rely on the succor of rich families to sustain itself in the face of imploding revenues.

THE LECTURE

Why is the ABC presenter sorry for expressing a valid gesture in relation to polik speak and its brands including ETS? :

ABC presenter sorry for ‘crazy’ gesture

A few weeks back, the Australian Veterans of the atomic tests launched a class action against the Australian Federal Government – on the basis that at the time of exposing Australian troops to nuclear blasts the Government knew that the exposed troops were placed in danger from internalisation of fission products.

The story so far:

Australian Nuclear Veterans Association’s website until last week was here: users.bigpond.net.au/anva/

This Web Site is maintained by Australian Nuclear Veterans who were involved in nuclear testing. This site has been a constant resource on the net.

Bigpond is owned by Telstra, which used to be the government telecom monopoly.
Australian Federal Law is strong on national security and strong on maintaining security of Telecom services. Ergo:

A claim against the government is lodged and the next thing the organisation lodging the claim is suddenly without a net presence.

There is a long history of such actions against veterans in this country in my opinion. Some years ago a Veteran preparing to participate in a TV interview witnessed the studio go dark as the power was pulled. The interview had to be abandoned as I recall. (Source: Not the ANVA)

The man in charge and who largely maintained the site and its contents is not well. I am told that though the site is down, and material has been lost, some material has been successfully recovered. The telco in my personal opinion are saying they had nothing to do with it.

I believe, and it is my personal opinion this is bull and that the tactic of enforced social isolation is a habitual one used against veterans and in my personal opinion I believe, without concrete proof (I was not present when the orders to take the site down were issued.) that the site is down as a direct result of orders issued under the authority of the Parliament of the Commonwealth of Australia. Veterans have been harassed by government in this country since the 1950s. It hasnt stopped in my opinion.

The email address of the Australian Nuclear Veterans Association is nucvet@bigpond.net.au

• If anyone out there is interested in sending an email of support to the Australian Nuclear Veterans Association, please do.

• If anyone wishes to ask the Australian government if it had anything to do with taking down the ANVA website, please do.

• If anyone wishes to ask Telstra if it was merely “following orders” in this regard (if it wasn’t it is very incompetent if it was, the Nuremburg Defence is not defence), please do.

(Ed – Perhaps Telstra can clarify/confirm/deny/help restore connectivity – Ziggy? I know you have left but did you have anything to do with this? )

Featured on the ANVA site:

Here is a 1955 document ( from the downed site) showing lack of concern by Prime Minister Sir Anthony Eden about the effects of nuclear Radiation on our troops… ‘ a pity, we cannot help it ‘ ….. lets hope the courts take the matter a little more seriously…..cannot help it!!!!:

A callous disregard for indigenous Australians:

The British tests in Australia failed to recognise the impact of radioactive fallout on indigenous Australians (aborigines). As a result ad hoc management at best was taken to protect aborigines, and there are many reports in the McClelland Royal Commission that demonstrate the callous disregard for the safety and welfare of these people during the tests. In many situations authorities had a callous, and incompetent approach to Aborigines, with little regard for their safety, rights or future well being.

Aborigines living outside of town centers remained predominantly outdoors, with little clothing or footwear, seeking shelter only in times of rain. Groups often traveled between locations, and could cover large distances. They were extremely vulnerable to the effects of fallout onto their bodies, through respiration of particles and dust, fallout onto the land, in water and deposition onto food sources.

In the meanwhile folks visit the archived site, enjoy the olde time grooves and lend whatever support you can muster.

A convenient map of Nuclear Nuclear Explosions since 1945 – a sobering reminder of the nuclear mentality.  Not sure of accuracy in all counts shown of the nuclear tests. A revealing and frank appraisal of the uranium industry downstream channels can be found in : Use of Depleted Uranium Is a Form of Radiologic Warfare… ‘That’s my opinion” says MD, pediatrician and President of the Nuclear Policy Research Institute, Helen Haldicott.

CLASS ACTION BY NUCLEAR VETERANS HEADED BY SYDNEY LEGAL TEAM – NO WIN NO FEE

Maralinga 50 years on: ignoring the lessons of history , Published Friday, 29th September, 2006 - by James Arvanitakis

It now appears certain that the United States and its moon offence allies are confirming their own insanity, as they prepare to bomb the moon, despite all indications that this in breach of existing space treaties and… plain stupidity. Rosettamoon spoke briefly with mission command in an attempt to make some sense of this latest US folly.

Rosettamoon hooked up with Bob Kratsky (mission control) on a patchy NASA skype connection…ironically, despite the mega budget of this mission NASA was not authorised to accept a reverse charges call from Australia.

RM – Well Bob, that sure sounds like a gee…sophisticated mission…but just a couple of quick questions if that’s ok?

Bob – Shoot away there but keep em brief – still a few snags with this goddam mission!

RM – For a start, what happened to all the research data from all those past Apollo missions and what’s with this bombastic approach to moon research when with the same mula NASA could land there and gather the same information?

Bob – Yeah right…well…you know…its a bit embarrassing, but that research module we used on the moon…that was rigged up by a few high school students with some bright ideas but to be honest it was all glitter and tinsle…and besides we never trained the astronauts in the basic science. (see image/evidence below)

RM – I thought as much…the NASA images of that ’science lab’ were none too convincing…did any one actually land on the moon Bob?

Bob – Hey I thought this interview was about the moon bombing…sorry I mean moon ‘probe’, whats with this conspiracy angle?

RM – Hmmm…ok…interesting slip of the tongue their Bob, maybe you can respond to the issue of NASA contravening the Moon Bob. Clearly this mission is in breach of Article 7 of that agreement to which the US is a signatory?

Bob- Listen here. How many emails and faxes do you think I get a day!? If we (the US) had to keep track of every goddam treaty we signed would we ever have gone to war with Iraq… or had all that fun in the jungle flushing out those commy- bastards in Vietnam? Send me a copy of that treaty and sure will have a look, but if you think the fireworks is going to be delayed forget it!

RM – Thanks for being so well…frank! Other people are saying that the moon is poised in perfect equilibrium out there in space and the respected  founder of biodynamics – Rudolph Steiner – demonstrated that the moon is integral to the balance of life of earth. Its a billion to one chance that the moon is positioned where it is, ancient cultures have revered it and pointed to its significance in relation to the human psyche, I guess the question is….is bombing something that balances life in this way a smart thing to do and does it indicate a degree of pathological insanity within NASA and the United States?

Bob – Geez, there you go again, using big words to try and confuse me! You sound like my goddammed hippy green good for nothing daughter that says the same garbage…you know if we don’t bomb it someone else will…and if we ever do land men on the moon don’t you think it would be nice for them to be able to have a glass of water when they git there?

RM – So NASA hasn’t landed anyone on the moon?

Bob – Now you’re putting words in my mouth…( skype connection either disconnected or NASA pulled the plug)

Recommence Interview UTC 1600 – after alleged impact – mission complete…….

RM – Bob, that NASA TV link was a joke, hardly call that a ‘live feed’….unless feeding bullshit to the public is the main objective. I just watched the Youtube footage of  the mission…hmmm….shame you didn’t hire a professional photographer for the mission….a lot of people are saying that whole report was about as exciting as a visit to google moon…how do you respond?

Bob -  Let me guess? Next you are going to say we cooked up the whole mission as a PR stunt right?

RM – I just would have expected to see maybe a live camera view – something resembling evidence, all those millions and you cant manage to film the mission…was the mission a failure and that footage a pre-mission ‘just in case’ effort to cover your embarrassment?

Bob – You saw the mission room and the little sign on the computer ‘flight director’, you heard NASA ’science’ talking real technical about adjustments to the observation craft, you saw the obvious relief and excitement on the faces of the mission team..

RM – interupts…Yeah yeah, we saw the same when NASA landed a man on the moon Bob and it wasn’t too convincing then either….( Skype connection terminated again..) 

Shock Revelation: NASA Moon Laboratory – ALSA was a failed high school experiment constructed from the canteens recycled pie warmer!

NASA ‘LCROSS’ MOON IMPACT FOOTAGE of 09 Oct 2009

Instructions for watching the insanity unfold: First, turn on NASA TV. The space agency will broadcast the action live from the Moon, with coverage beginning Friday morning at 3:15 am PDT (10:15 UT). The first hour or so, pre-impact, will offer expert commentary, status reports from mission control, camera views from the spacecraft, and telemetry-based animations.

Spaceweather report:

The actual impacts commence at 4:30 am PDT (11:30 UT). The Centaur rocket will strike first, transforming 2200 kg of mass and 10 billion joules of kinetic energy into a blinding flash of heat and light. Researchers expect the impact to throw up a plume of debris as high as 10 km.

Close behind, the LCROSS mothership will photograph the collision for NASA TV and then fly right through the debris plume. Onboard spectrometers will analyze the sunlit plume for signs of water (H₂O), water fragments (OH), salts, clays, hydrated minerals and assorted organic molecules.

“If there’s water there, or anything else interesting, we’ll find it,” says Tony Colaprete of NASA Ames, the mission’s principal investigator.

Some interesting discussion on the site Do Not Bomb the Moon

Nasa Moon Bombing is Cause for Worry – By Ted Twietmeyer 6-22-9

So what’s the problem? Here are just a few of the facts that come to light:

1. Exploding a bomb on the moon will displace several miles of Lunar material according to what NASA claims will happen.

2. The displacement of lunar material will follow Newton’s law about equal and opposite reaction. This means that an equal force will be exerted on the Moon to match the force it takes to eject miles of material. No one can actually predict what will happen, just as NASA failed miserably predicting the results of another experiment. In a previous mission, a NASA spacecraft fired a high velocity copper warhead penetrator into a comet’s core. The results were not what they expected. This is because popular science theory really believes comets are dirty snowballs. Instead, the actual results were already predicted by the electric universe theory. Comets are not dirty snowballs which is something many of us already knew. Yet again, NASA refused to use common sense and look at theories based on real evidence and science, such as the electric universe theory.

Some cool stuff:

Lunar images fail to show – The Australian – October 10

Until the glitch with live images, NASA was riding high, reporting no trouble at the Ames Research Centre in California.

“Everything is working so very well,” NASA’s Bob Kransky, a manager in the exploration office, said minutes before the one-two lunar crash. ( Yeah right, so well that you cant even record the event and have to resort to static google moon imagery and some bogus commentary thrown in….another monumental moon hoax but of absurdly poor quality compared to the 1969 stage show!)
