Glendale, Arizona - May 9, 2016 - Making the short trek to the Arizona desert, P1 Engines was once again at the front of the field in Superkarts! USA (SKUSA) competition. With drivers littered in multiple classes, the California based company walked away with another national level victory in the X30 Junior division.
In the X30 Junior class, Dante Yu had a small setback during Saturday’s action but managed to drive back up to a solid seventh place result. On Sunday Yu managed to stay out of trouble and remained top-three throughout the two heat race format.Securing a starting position for the main event in the top-four, Yu took the lead with four laps to go and never looked back taking home the Pro Tour victory.
P1 Engines powered Oliver Calvo also had enough to win finishing second on Saturday with the race cut short due to weather. Poised to attack, the X30 Junior was forced off the track with four laps remaining before Calvo could make his bid for the lead and win. Sunday action would see Calvo suffer a flat tire in qualifying but the up-and-coming champion managed to drive through the field in the two heat races and main event to claim a fourth place result. After qualifying out side the top-ten on Saturday, Tomas Mejia made up for it when wheel-to-wheel action commenced and was able to stand on the podium with a third place result in the day’s main event. On Sunday, Mejia qualified ninth and finished eighth in the final. Edward Portz Jr., Max Hewitt and Nicholas d’Orlando all had top ten results with ninth, ninth and tenth respectfuly with d’Orlando grabbing the pole position in Sunday’s competition.
In the stout X30 Senior field, Luke Selliken qualified outside the top-ten but rebounded when the green flag for racing flew, driving forward to a top-five result in fourth. With a competitive field of international drivers, times were tight as the difference between first and 30th was a mere half a second. On Sunday, Selliken qualified P4 but spun early in the main event due to contact and finished 16th. Mateo Vigano also had great speed running from last to tenth in Saturday’s main event alone after failing to finish the second X30 Senior heat race. Vigano was running second during Sundays main event, poised to attack for the race win before being driven off the course by a fellow competitor. Kellen Ritter had the speed and finished tenth in Sunday’s action while Nick Ramirez improved from Saturday’s results to finish eighth on Sunday.
Daniel Inzunza had a great run in the IAME Mini Swift class qualifying inside row two on Saturday. Finishing a strong second in heat race one, heat race two would see Inzunza sent off the track and down the running order. Forced to start deep in the field for the main event, Inzunza drove like a seasoned veteran to finish 15th. On Sunday, Inzunza remained consistent qualifying tenth and finishing tenth in the day’s main event.

History of Schuitemaker | Schuitemaker Machines B.V.
When Johan Schuitemaker Senior’s military service ended at the end of the Great War, he and his brother started a forge across from his parental home in the hamlet of Notter, under an old hay barrack. After a few years, they moved to Veer on the river Regge, near the village of Rijssen-Wierden where they bought a piece of land end of May 1919. That is where they built a workshop, which would later become a forge, a wheelwright, a sawmill and a retail outlet for farm equipment. They started producing steel and wooden wagons, as well as hexagonal roofs for haystacks. They also imported machines from Germany, and they would soon be trading all kinds of goods for agriculture use.
During World War II, the Schuitemaker's main income was from repair work. And there was no shortage of work in those days. Modern farm mechanisation was on the rise after the war, and Schuitemaker secured dealerships for tractors and milking equipment. Horseshoeing was a dying trade since the old farm wagons got out of fashion and were replaced with wagons on pneumatic tyres.
The success of Schuitemaker Machines BV started in the fifties, when an American 4-wheel manure spreader was popular among Dutch farmers. Schuitemaker were frequently called in for repairs. It was a rather complicated machine and repairs were time-consuming. This was one of the reasons why Schuitemaker saw the need and the chance for producing a better and less complicated manure spreader with many optional extras. Johan Schuitemaker junior borrowed a drawing board from the local technical school to design a new wagon, which he patented in five countries. This type of manure spreader, the popular SMS 3000, fitted with the well-known closed oil bath sump, was the showcase of Schuitemaker Machines for many years and the beginning of the company success story.
In 1963, Schuitemaker moved with all their 35 staff to the industrial site “de Mors”. They were one of the first businesses that moved to this site. Building on the great success of their manure spreader, Schuitemaker went on with new developments and designs. Thanks to their good relations with Wageningen University and the foresight of Johan Schuitemaker Jr., the popular UTW (Universal Transport Wagon) went into production. This farm trailer with a 180° rotary platform was used as a land cultivation wagon, as a feeder wagon and as a silage wagon at the time. This system only allowed for steel front and side panels. Continuous problems occurred when suppliers failed to meet Schuitemaker’s high quality standards.
Because of the continuous problems with suppliers of steel front and side panels, Johan Schuitemaker went to Italy to purchase a cold profile roller in 1966. Shortly after his return, this machine roller was installed in the Rijssen factory. Since the capacity of this cold profile roller exceeded the need for Schuitemaker's own production by far at this point in time, the company went frantically looking for work from third parties, and not without success. That is the reason why Schuitemaker has been making steel side panels for other agricultural machine manufacturers, and several truck and truck body manufacturers also outsourced their production to Rijssen. All current DAF army trucks on the road today are fitted with side panels made by Schuitemaker.
At the end of the 1970's was a growing demand for mechanised feeding. The Feedo feeder wagon was developed on the basis of the existing UTW concept. In the meantime, the Feedo is used for various applications and sold all over the world. The Feedo also forms the basis for the Cowa compost distributor. Even today, the Feedo is an important product in the Schuitemaker programme.
Schuitemaker introduced the Rapide precision chop loader wagon, the world's very first dual-purpose loader wagon. The Rapide has now become Schuitemaker's best-selling product.
Inspired by changing legislation for processing manure, there was a growing demand for larger manure tanks and injectors in the 1990's. Schuitemaker would soon take advantage of this trend and came up with injectors and a comprehensive range of slurry tankers. In 1996, Schuitemaker won the RAI Agriculture Award with their Robusta variable track width pump tank wagon.
The end of an era with the last SMS 3000; over the years, more than 25,000 of these manure spreaders have been manufactured.
The start of the new millennium saw a great expansion of the business. Thanks to continuous growth, the company had outgrown their existing premises. As well as a new production hall of 1500m² and a covered storage area of 1000m², a second storey was built on top of the existing office building. This resulted in a site measuring 46,000 m², including 12,500 m² of floor space.
The ever-increasing size of machines required more production space. The semi-finished products that came with these machines also required more storage space. That is the reason why the decision was made for the construction of two new, spacious assembly halls with a combined floor area of more than 4,400m². One of those halls was designed for the production and assembly of specials.
To future-proof their enterprise, Schuitemaker went out to look for a second line of business with an affinity in the agricultural sector. As a result, Schuitemaker became the sole importer for Epoke winter machines in September 2007.
The new Rapide dual-purpose loader wagon was introduced in 2007. At this particular time, the Rapide was 25 years old! The new model delivers a more compact, more efficient and technically enhanced version of the Rapide. The intake is improved, RapidFlow, RapidStream, resulting in less wear, fuel saving and improved feed structure. A new colour scheme was introduced. The white rims and charcoal-grey undercarriage make the redesigned wagons identifiable at first glance. The Rapide is ready for the future!
The oldest halls of the factory on Morsweg in Rijssen were completely replaced. In addition, the cafeteria was refurbished and more office space was created. The alteration was necessary, but it also optimised the production lines.
The practice test version of the Innovado was presented at the EuroTier 2014. This automatic feeding system had been further developed since the introduction of the prototype in 2008. The unique concept of the Innovado is the fully automated process of getting, cutting, rationing and supplying the feed, as well as topping up and returning. In addition to the existing semi-automatic variants, the Innovado is the only fully automated feeding system. One of a kind.
A welding robot was purchased to optimise the production process. This biggest welding robot in the Netherlands was put into operation in January 2016.
Schuitemaker started his hundredth year of life. Since 1919.

The Gate of Athena Archegetis, entrance to the Agora of Athens during the Roman times.
What we call today The Roman Agora of Athens is a large paved square, 112 m. long from west to east (370 ft.) by 96 m. (316 ft.) broad, constructed symmetrically with Hadrian's Library, in parallel direction and analogous dimensions. A peristyle surrounded by exterior walls, and an interior court 82 m. by 57 m. flagged in marble.
The columns of the peristyle, with double halls, was of the ionic order with a smooth shaft. The further end of the peristyle, the interior hall, was divided into several shops 6 meters deep, testifying to the fact that this was a mercantile Agora. In the SW angle a marble Fountain stood, fed from the water of the Klepsydra, called the Agoranomion, the station for the police of the market which was later restored by Herod Atticos. The propylon (entrance) towards the west side, raised between the year 12 B.C. and 2 A.D. at the expenses of Julius Caesar and Augustus, is preserved to our days in a satisfactory state, is known under the name of Gate of the Market, or Gate of Athena Archegetis.
During the Byzantine period and the Turkish occupation the area was covered with houses, workshops and churches including the surviving Fetiye Mosque. After the necessary purchase and demolition of the private houses and other buildings covering the area, a series of excavations were carried out.

Related Issues about Graphics Design.
There are numerous study areas involved in the art discipline. Some of these categories involve the drawing by the use of hands while some of the others use the computers to simplify the job. The development of graphical images using a computer is called graphical design also known as art with a purpose. there are a variety of formats that can be used to illustrate them. These are the images, symbols and even the text documents to convey a special message. In short, it is a visual communication that conveys its message emphasis by the aesthetic expressions of concepts and ideas.
In many learning institutions, the graphical designing course is widely taught to the learners. After some specialists in the graphics design industry saw how difficult is was to design websites, they came together and formed the ODA Creative in order to look for an appropriate solution. They decided to put their minds together to find a suitable solution whereby they would assemble their resources and try to contain the situation. After they defined their objective, they also pointed out their philosophy which is to make the web designing activity more easy and straight forward focused on solving the problems.
They did a great job of building a customized system that supported the graphical implementation of web pages instead of coding. People who have used their software are very positive about the work that these people did to develop the system. People who had found it very difficult to design the websites can now use the graphical images to design it without necessarily having to code the whole web pages. Since the learning on the ODA Creative website is very simple end easy to learn, you can now create websites for the customers at relatively lower costs.
There are the classes that are offered on the internet on their learning portals where the students have the access to information. Any interested person can use the links that lead to their respective websites and click to learn more on what the ODA Creative have to offer to the world. They provide the most incredible template based solutions that are to enhance the user’s vision. They also advocate for the creativity in the designing sector so as to capture and enhance the first impression tips.
Learning at the ODA Creative has been simplified to become goal oriented just like their philosophy. The websites written by their format are very easy to design, use and maintain.

Most non-domesticated life on earth is in decline and about 200 species a day are going extinct due to a wide range of environmental problems. Many humans are at risk of being harmed or killed by related problems this century.
All of the many problems are caused by the same thing: humans have used non-renewable energy to explode their population from 1 billion to 7 billion in 100 years, and now consume so large a share of the earth’s resources that almost all non-domesticated species are in decline.
Note that I use the word “resources” here in a broad context meaning land, water, minerals, photosynthetic output, biomass, and the planet’s capacity to recycle waste products.
The total quantity of resources consumed by humans equals the human population times the average consumption per person.
About 75% of the world’s population are poor and do not consume much more than is required for subsistence, although they desire and are working hard to consume more. The privileged 25% are working hard to maintain and grow their level of resource consumption and the majority are unwilling to contemplate a voluntary reduction in consumption, in part because they know that if they reduce their consumption others will consume the freed resources.
This dynamic makes it difficult to reduce the total human footprint by reducing per capita consumption.
Therefore, any progress towards solving the problems caused by human overshoot must come from a reduction in human population.
Paraphrasing Albert Bartlett, “There is no problem on earth that does not improve with fewer people”.
Establishing an effective and fair global population reduction policy will be very difficult and may be impossible for many reasons, not least of which it conflicts with what our genes want to do.
It may also be too late for a reduction in birth rate to prevent the worst consequences of overshoot. We can however say with certainty that a rising population will make things worse and a falling population will make things better. Therefore we should try to get the population down regardless of the prognosis.
Given that population reduction is the only thing that might help our predicament, why do we not even discuss it?
More to the point, why do those individuals and organizations with the best understanding of the seriousness of our predicament not speak out for population reduction? I am talking about environmental organizations, climate scientists, biologists, ecologists, deep greens, peak oilers, doomers, you name it. Almost without exception they are silent on population reduction.
I see the same dynamic in activist friends and acquaintances who deeply care about the planet and who work hard on environmental and social issues but never mention population reduction, despite the fact that population reduction is the only thing that might improve long-term environmental and social issues.
I understand that it may be impossible to gather enough political support, and that we might conclude that unintended consequences of population reduction policies are worse than the problems we are trying to solve. But at least we would have had the conversation and made a deliberate decision to not change course.
As it stands today we are racing towards a cliff without even discussing if we should slow down or change direction.
I like to think that if citizens understood that the choice was between having one child with some chance of a happy life versus having several children with no chance of a happy life, I think most people would choose a small family. Especially if they had confidence that the rules would be applied to rich and poor alike, and that cheaters would be punished. But if we don’t discuss it we’ll never find out if I am right or wrong. We’ll just blindly go off the cliff.
The fact that we do not discuss the only thing that might actually improve the future is amazing. I concluded several years ago that denial must be genetic. I later found a theory for evolved denial by Ajit Varki and Danny Brower and it is the reason this site exists.
Today, Alice Friedemann of the Energy Skeptic blog published a paper addressing this issue by Roy Beck & Leon Kolankiewicz titled “The Environmental Movement’s Retreat from Advocating U. S. Population Stabilization (1970-1998): A First Draft of History“.
It’s a long rambling paper on an important topic so I thought it worthwhile to summarize its key points here. Note that the paper has a U.S. focus with little analysis of what happened in other areas of the world.
What changed from 1970 to 2000?
In 1970 the need for population control was broadly understood and accepted by political leaders, business leaders, environmental organizations, universities, and the public. Strong environmental laws were passed. Earth Day had population control as a priority.
Thirty years later in 2000 the problems caused by population growth were still discussed but there was no discussion of the underlying population growth problem. The US population had increased by 70 million (33%) since 1970 . There was more nitrogen oxide pollution, more CO2, more endangered species, and fewer wetlands. Environmental groups no longer had population control as a priority and did not oppose laws that increased immigration. Earth Day did not mention population control.
What caused these changes from 1970 to 2000?
In 1970 the fertility rate of the white population fell below replacement level. All population growth after 1970 came from immigration and higher birth rates of the non-white population.
Environmental groups backed away from population control as a priority for fear of membership and donation loss due to potential charges of racism and the increased demographic influence of immigrants. Environmental groups competing for members and donations focused on issues that could demonstrate short-term successes rather than issues like population control that take decades to show results. It is much harder to raise funds for preventing future problems than for fixing an existing problem. In summary, protection of environmental institutions took precedence over protection of the environment.
Business used donations (or the lack thereof) to influence environmental groups to drop population control as a priority because they wanted the economic growth created by immigration and reduced labor costs from an expanding labor pool.
Politicians did not want to touch the population issue because of the increased voting power of immigrants.
The Catholic Church aggressively opposed any group in favor of population control, especially after abortion was legalized. It appears the Catholic Church had a large influence on government population policies but historians need to research this to confirm.
Women’s issues emerged as a priority which shifted the narrative from racially sensitive population control to politically correct empowerment of women.
A view emerged within the left that most environmental problems were caused by unfair distribution of resources and capitalism rather than overpopulation. Priorities shifted from population control to changing the economic system.
A view emerged that it was wrong to block immigration and to conserve resources for future generations while poor people struggled in developing countries.
I found the paper to be a disappointment. I think it did a good job of explaining why environmental groups dropped population control as a priority. In summary they chose to give higher priority to protecting themselves than the environment. That’s no surprise.
A much more important issue that was not addressed was why did the majority of the public drop population control as a priority? Given that public sentiment shifted it is no wonder that political leaders, business leaders, universities, and environmental groups followed suit.
What really happened? I have a theory.
In 1970 economic growth was strong. The middle class was healthy and not threatened. Most white families, for whatever reason, had already decided to have 2 or fewer children. Making population control a priority did not require lifestyle changes for most. There was surplus wealth to spend on environmental protection laws and enforcement. People who understood the threat of overpopulation could form organizations and raise funds to support themselves.
By 2000, economic growth had slowed. The middle class was in decline and feeling threatened. Recent immigrants with higher birthrates became a powerful political force and resisted changes to their lifestyles or immigration reductions. Environmental groups chose survival over principles. Government deficits had replaced surpluses. Economic growth was becoming harder to achieve due to depletion of low-cost non-renewable energy. Our monetary system requires growth or else it collapses, however it will not collapse if per capita economic activity decreases as long as total economic activity increases. Therefore continued growth of the population via immigration became necessary to maintain some overall economic growth despite falling real incomes for individuals.
Today, 15 years later, the middle class is under even more pressure because low-cost non-renewable energy continues to deplete and globalization has eroded their standard of living. They see that immigration has not benefited them, seek someone to blame, and many have decided to vote for Trump.
If I am right, it is ironic that economic growth slowed due to the overpopulation related depletion of non-renewable resources which then required a further population increase to maintain some economic growth to avoid collapse. It’s analogous to the positive feedback loop of rising temperatures causing ice loss and methane release.
We have only two paths. We can find a way to break through our evolved denial and proactively act. Or we can let nature act for us.
In addition to the factors already outlined in the article as reasons for the disappearance of population control from the public’s priorities, we’ve also had the dropping of China’s ‘one child per family’ policy in 2015, which took effect at the beginning of this year.
Although it’s possible that the growth of China’s population which results may not be very significant (largely because of the economic and social incentives that have indirectly arisen from the rapid urbanization of China), the relaxation of the one-child policy sends an unwelcome signal around the world that as a species, we need not worry about constraining the total size of the world’s population. But it’s an unfortunate fact that our global economic system, which in the West is largely based on industrial capitalism, has trapped us in a vortex in which that system is only viable if each successive generation produces additional consumers, despite the wastefulness of such an economy and the associated depletion of resources and degradation of the planet as a habitable place.
In such a situation, a good understanding of the demographic and economic realities attached to the various possible future scenarios, far-sighted vision, assertive leadership, a supporting legal framework, and adequate financial and administrative resources are all necessary for effective action that is capable of combating the undesirable trends and consequences connected with uncontrolled population growth. Unfortunately, in the notionally democratic societies of the West, perverse incentives actively encourage politicians to pander to their support base and not raise the issue of curbing population growth via enforcement of an as-yet non-existent limit on fertility (something the Chinese did through both physical coercion and fiscal penalties), and not to draw attention to the adverse economic consequences of limiting population size. So as this article’s author has already made amply clear, nothing useful is happening on the political and social debate front regarding this issue.
Given this situation, the only recourse I can envisage that seems remotely possible to achieve by voluntary means is for a few foolhardy national leaders to set up and fund a dedicated policy-making unit under the auspices of the United Nations, the British Commonwealth, or the Non-Aligned Movement; this unit would have the aim of drafting an international convention having legal force and laying out proposals for concrete population control measures which the signatory nations could be induced to adopt. This would then be followed by the multilateral adoption and ratification of a suitable version of the draft by an overwhelming number of countries; the establishment of monitoring and enforcement mechanisms; and the creation of an international legal framework to coordinate and adjudicate the implementation of the population policy.
No, on second thoughts this is impossible to make happen. Bottom line: we’re all screwed and the planet is doomed.
It’s quite remarkable that no leaders anywhere in the world, even those nearing the end of their term, speak out on population reduction. Some really powerful force must be at play because it is obvious to anyone that looks that we are in severe overshoot. I think it’s evolved denial, but if it’s something else I love to know what it is.
The denial is likely rooted in the fact that nature was originally much “bigger” than people, and something to rightly fear. For centuries we lacked the technology (and/or numbers) to do it much harm. Now, most people still behave in the same old ways on a reptilian level, but they ignore modern context or assume “THEY” will find some technological fix for the whole mess.
Anyone with their eyes open should see that those fixes are usually weak attempts to mop up the mess. Nothing really gets better except for random sanctuaries preserved amid growing destruction. Not enough people care to see what’s really going on, which I’d call a mass failure of intelligence. A guy like Trump doesn’t get elected by a species that really understands cause & effect. It’s not just random dummies.
The wind power industry is a good example of how people don’t think critically and deny what’s right in front of them. “Clean” energy is destroying much of the world’s remaining scenery and killing off birds & bats while posing as planet-friendly. For me, that was the last straw in thinking Man would do the right thing by nature.
I have met maybe five people in my life that know that this is a serious problem. Because of this I know there is absolutely no hope that anything can be done to save civilization as we know it from crashing hard. Luckily I don’t care because I am old and I was smart enough even when I was young not to have any children that I would have to feel guilty about and therefore have reason for denial.
Hi, welcome. It’s amazing how we never discuss the things that matter. A couple people are killed by a lunatic in London and it’s front page news. Millions are at risk from over-population related famine and we ignore it.
Good article. I think far more “deep green” people understand overpopulation than you assume, though. They just need to mention it more, if they aren’t.
We’re close to the end of the present large cycle now – we’ll crash & burn economically and this will likely lead to nuclear war and voila! you have your massive population decrease. Problem solved. Then we start over.
Perhaps the bigger question(s) should be.. why these cycles? That might mean a look at spirituality and the meaning of life. From my brief scan of this (very interesting) site, I think the author prefers not to go down that rabbit hole – or more accurately, has already dismissed any possibility of anything spiritual.
I am very interested in understanding the genetic reasons for spirituality.
Thanks for your reply and link that I hadn’t previously spotted. Nice Alien/Religion story! For the most part, I agree.
However, I spoke of spirituality, not religion.
It would appear you haven’t had yours and sadly, science won’t get you there.. yet. Einstein came very close and though I have an extremely limited understanding of current quantum physics, aren’t scientists now (somewhat reluctantly) coming to the conclusion that beyond physical matter is something elusive, something beyond science, yet to be identified?
One day, the light bulb will go on and there’ll be that ‘Aha’ moment… it’s SPIRIT!!
I’m a material guy. The closest I come to spirituality is having a deep appreciation for how rare and special it is for us to be having this conversation, and how sad it is that we are screwing it up.
Ah well, each to his own…. agree with the other sentiments and enjoy reading an alternative and well thought through pov.
Actually, we should be grateful to be part of an unlimited, ever expanding and infinite Universe in which the only limitations are those we place on ourselves. Everything is possible and we are given freedom to choose in every moment (where actions can only take place). Every act has its consequence and those consequences unfold as our present circumstances (on a personal, national and world level). And so the wheel turns until we ‘get’ it… There are no accidents in the Universe and everything is Perfect… yep, big call, that!
But hey, that’s just my pov!
“Much ado about nothing” is the same mindless attitude that led to the problem in the first place! Define “nothing” for us. Are you so jaded that you see this as would an alien looking down from a spacecraft?
“Problem solved” is nonsense, since all the chemicals and industrial detritus Man creates won’t just disappear. A relatively recent example is the huge mass of ugly wind turbines being touted as green while the countryside gets ruined, in addition to all the scars from mining, drilling, agriculture, ranching, etc. (see http://cutt.us/blight_for_naught).
The obvious problem is quality of life for numerous species right now, tomorrow and in coming decades. Glib observations of historical crash cycles are useless to anyone with a conscience.
That comment is also devoid of context. Global warming deniers casually talk about “natural cycles” that repeat themselves, while ignoring the context of this current, unnatural one. Overpopulation on a global scale is not a natural cycle and it’s also driving CO2, along with aspirations to affluence in Asia, etc.
The course of human progress (if you want to call it that) has not repeated over eons, so why lump it in with ancient cycles? We could become a one-time circus in the history of the Earth if intelligence doesn’t prevail over greed and fatalism.
There have been localized civilization collapses, e.g. Rome and the Mayans, but it’s now a global issue since so many economies are interdependent (biggest weakness of globalism). The assumption of endlessly affordable oil for ocean and air freight is naive, but feed-the-world groups keep framing hunger as a “distribution” problem rather than overpopulation and violations of local carrying capacity.
Nobody makes such excuses when other species die off during local droughts or plagues. Man just delays the final outcome with technologies that can’t exist on a practical scale without finite fossil fuels, including the “renewables” sector. The feel-good cry of “100% renewable energy” fails basic math and is another facet of overpopulation-denial (see critiques of the 2009 Jacobson/Stanford report).
It’s ironic – sadly ironic – that subscribers to this ‘un-denial’ site seem to be ….. in a state of denial. Denial of the truth of their existence. That truth (I know you want to know) is that we are spiritual beings having a human experience. You are not your body – gasp! You are much, much more – double gasp!!
This irony, this ignorance, is widespread in the Yali Yuga in which we find ourselves, the Iron Age, the age of no reason.. we’re not here in error or some mistake and the chaos will continue unabated; it’s actually just begun.
So I agree with you guys in many respects. I.e. that we’re heading for the crapper at warp speed. It’s just that your premise is wrong. The problems are not ‘out there’, they’re right here, within each of us.
If there is blame to apportion try past actions resulting in present circumstances. Try ‘mindfulness’ not pointless & mindless whining & denying.
If it’s any consolation, it’s all perfect and just as it should be. No accidents in the Universe!
Thanks for this Rob Mielcarski. Very well done.
I think your points about getting politicians involved are well thought out. The short term nature of the election cycle means the benefits just don’t come close to the costs, except if the whole community is on board. And that seems unlikely. Although one of the key issues with both the unexpected Brexit and Trump victories was unhappiness in the community with high immigration.
I’d love to hear your thoughts regarding the possibility of working with the people who have gigantic chunks of money invested in oil, coal, natural gas and other investments that won’t reap benefits for many years. I wouldn’t think that they have the same short term view. I’m reading Niall Ferguson’s Biography of the Rothschild’s. The urban legend is that they were just all about business and covered every angle all over Europe. The second part, though, was that they were actively involved in trying to keep the peace in Europe because they made more money when industry was booming rather than when money was spent on soldiers and guns. They also knew that when war breaks out all the stock markets dive and their investments lose value.
I wonder if the big money people today have the same concerns. Are they happy with the flood of refugees into Europe? Do they see any reason that the flood would subside? Are they worried about conflict when refugees are forced on one country (like has happened in Turkey and Italy) and the other countries are not paying their fair share to help solve the problem? Are they concerned with worn out infrastructure that isn’t being replaced because rapid population increase, constantly requires new infrastructure? Is there any way to convince these big money people that they stand to make more money with less risk, with a slower population growth rather than concentrating on pollution, climate change, extinctions and congestion in the cities. Taking the example of the Rothschilds they could work behind the scenes unlike politicians.
In Australia, the Business Council of Australia is actively in favour of increased population because they see it as a way to keep wages down with greater competition for jobs and they make more money with more customers. The problems are not as critical as they are in Africa, Europe and South Asia. I wonder what the big multinationals think. Any ideas?
A note for Erik Kowal the one child Policy is now a two child policy so it isn’t like they have opened the flood gates. Controls are still more strict than anywhere else in the world.
I was not aware that China has kept a two child policy in place. I will have to do some more reading.
I do not know the answer to your interesting questions. My guess is that big money would put keeping some economic growth going at the top of their priority list.
If and when economic growth stops the system will collapse via deflation, if leaders choose a hands off approach, or via hyperinflation, if leaders choose to fight reality with money printing. Big money stands to lose the most because most wealth is in the form of debt which will lose most of its value in a collapse.
In an environment with high debt levels and falling net energy it is very difficult to keep growth going. We’ve done it so far by expanding debt much faster than GDP. Some countries have also chosen to import poor people.
The design of our economic system does not care if there is per capita growth, it only cares about gross growth. By increasing the population you can keep some gross growth going a little longer, even while per capita wealth declines.
Of course there is no free lunch, and this strategy will increase the level of suffering experienced when the inevitable collapse occurs.
Not sure we will get a sudden collapse. I don’t have anything to back that up except that the Global financial crisis was weathered through borrowing and printing money and we are so relatively rich now that fluctuations in the system don’t cause people to starve, we just have to put off buying a big screen TV or going to Hawaii.
I’m more inclined to believe we will see a gradual erosion of living standards that in some respects won’t be noticed by the average citizen. I live in Sydney and grew up in Los Angeles. The time to get to work is horrendous compared to 25 years ago but everybody just accepts it. We’ve got smart phones now so the time goes faster. The price of food, energy and housing has increased faster than wages over the past 20 years but we’ve got the internet and cable TV so its all okay.
To respect silence: wind turbines don’t kill even close to 0.1% of all the birds killed by man-made conveniences.
That’s a tidy but misleading claim that gets trotted out all the time. It doesn’t mention the TYPES of species, including migratory birds far from cities, and plenty of raptors that can’t be killed by the house-cat platitude.
Quasi-environmentalists read stuff like that and casually claim it can be fixed by future gizmos, or turning turbines off at certain hours (yeah, they’ll surely lose all that revenue to save bats). They skip over the core problem of obnoxiously large machines right in the middle of flyways, with MANY more planned. What you see marring today’s landscapes could be only 1/10th of what’s in store. It’s not a case-closed situation!
I can’t fathom how “environmentalists” can applaud towering construction projects and claim no harm is being done aesthetically or in terms of wildlife. It defies all logic. Noise is another big topic, laden with denials and accusations of NIMBYism. The wind mob is much like climate-deniers in that it cherry-picks one issue at a time (dishonestly) and fails to account for all the cumulative harm.
I think your point regarding raptors not being killed by domestic and feral cats is a good point. It is clear that the Altamont wind farm was located in an area that was dangerous for those species. Similarly by estimating the total number of birds it is clear that feral cats are killing significant percentage of pigeons and other nuisance species that are not critical to the remaining natural ecosystems that we are trying to protect. At the same time raptors are not the only valuable bird species on the planet. Cats kill lots of parrots and other valuable smaller birds so the total numbers are important. Even with the Dr Shawn Smallwood estimates, which are at the top end of all other estimates, the total birds killed by wind turbines are tiny compared to all other man made features.
I understand you think that Wind farms are a blight on the landscape and many people share this opinion. I know of people who would rather have a nuclear power plant on every corner and a 5 degree increase in the global temperature rather than look at one more wind turbine. I just don’t share that opinion and I assume that we are looking at the same photos and same videos, so it’s not a matter of not enough information.
I know the Noise arguments and have seen some of the data and don’t find it compelling. In most of the cases I’ve seen, the impacts due to noise are subjective. Certainly the noise from turbines is very low compared to traffic and industry.
The last argument on the website you referenced ( http://cutt.us/blight_for_naught ) seems to be that wind power really doesn’t reduce greenhouse impacts or fossil fuel use. Reading some of your comments I guess you don’t even believe that one.
Consider the rushing noise from a standard house fan and ask yourself how machines EXPONENTIALLY LARGER could not affect people and animals in a wide area. Driven by the wind itself or driven by motors, blades cutting through air will make friction noise, along with machine bearings and gears. Many wind turbines sweep over an ACRE of airspace vs. a square foot for a typical fan. Where a turbine ends up sounding loudest depends on topographical acoustics. Right beneath one is often the quietest place because it propagates outward. Smug “I can’t hear anything, case closed!” recordings are typically made in those spots.
A certain mindset makes people say wind turbines are “beautiful” A) because they’re assumed to be anti fossil fuels (ERoI denial) and B) because their form looks more “elegant” than a blocky coal or nuclear plant. Both of those are based on acquired tastes or outright lies, considering the number of wind towers in existence today. They turn former natural or farm landscapes into industrial parks, like it or not. I could compare the white curves of a nuclear plant to an attractive woman but I have no need to lie about Man’s total impact on nature. The wind power crowd is in denial and must know it on some level.
Replace those white towers with much smaller, less visible oil rigs and wind-puppets would be screaming to dismantle them. They rationalize away obvious blight on mere technicalities. Another good example is the 2013 dispute over LG’s proposed 143-foot office building on the Hudson River, which they cut by half to preserve the famous treeline. Meanwhile, 400-650 foot wind turbines tower over trees in scenic places that aren’t as famous as the Hudson. It’s a bit like the outcry when Cecil the lion was shot vs. thousands of no-name lions who’ve died in similar ways. With wind power, the death of scenery, birds & bats is ongoing and willfully ignored by quasi-green shills.
It’s also a fallacy to imply that nuclear plants would be “on every corner” since they have far greater energy-density than wind turbines, which often sprawl over 30,000+ acres or a dozen miles of ridges for just a few hundred. Here’s a photo of a coal plant (I’m not “pro coal”) that puts out far more power than sprawling wind turbines nearby. https://bc7ef94c9aa3a4d0c3bb-524159c56cd80a90fd1e155cf4179a97.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com/wv_cnvy1604.jpg (Mt. Storm, WV). Nuclear is similar in its land-to-power ratio, with significantly smaller mined areas supporting it. I can’t see integrity in those who decry coal mountaintop removal yet claim spiky clearcut ridges are “beautiful.” In nature, you do see bare (alpine or desert) rock but never such alien structures. Many coal mines, e.g. Wyoming are low-lying and hard to see until you’re right on them. Wind turbines are far more visible now.
If you’re truly OK with the current visual impact, you have to realize that, for any major effect on fossil fuel use (still unlikely to minimize AGW) we’d need many times the number of turbines seen today. The widely quoted 2009 Jacobson scheme seeks 3.8 million large models. Putting them offshore just shifts the blight to our last “infinite” horizons, which I consider a crime against nature. It’s very rare to have offshore wind turbines hidden from land, and they’re the tallest models at 700+ feet now. They even want them to be over 1,000 feet tall for grandiose “palm tree” turbine technologies: https://energy.gov/articles/enormous-blades-offshore-energy (could those ever be worth all the fuel burned to build them?). Even the mere five turbines at America’s first offshore project at Block Island, RI have rankled some residents. The windsters respond with hollow classism arguments, as if only rich people care about a view! They sound like right-wingers chiding fractivists.
Respect Silence I don’t think this will make any difference to you but in case there are other readers.
• It’s all a big conspiracy against my point of view by very evil people and this person has just been caught up in the conspiracy and believes it.
If you don’t have any respect for the person you are trying to convince, you are unlikely to get any respect in return, and they are, therefore, unlikely to be receptive to your ideas.
A quick google search of birds killed by wind turbines has several articles all saying that the numbers of birds killed by other man-made sources is thousands of times larger than wind turbines. Wikipedia shows a list where other sources, not including cats, are at least a thousand times larger than wind turbines. Perhaps there are other elements to the story that I am not seeing, but that is how I’ve come to my opinion.
I could not find any quick answer on the percentage of bats killed by wind turbines except that the number is substantial, white nose syndrome kills a huge number of bats and farmers kill lots of bats.
Perhaps there are other elements to the story that I am not seeing, but that is how I’ve come to my opinion.
Sorry, but I have no interest in getting along with people who call themselves green while promoting obscene intrusions on already-stressed landscapes. This doesn’t need to be explained those who intrinsically get it. Famous environmentalists with a land ethic (Muir, Leopold, Abbey, et al) are highly unlikely to have supported what wind power has become. Many photographers resent that so much scenery has been lost, though some have become industry shills with photos of silent, hazy sculptures, always in the distance.
Again, this is what your beloved wind farms look like in the real world: http://google.com/search?tbm=isch&q=wind+farm+mountains Videos show it best because they’re also spinning (part of the time), adding to their unnatural impact. People who respect open space can’t just look away or prattle on about “careful siting” when each new project is already contested.
You folks keep sidestepping the severe bat-kill problem, so here again are the links you claim to be unable to find: https://www.usgs.gov/news/a-deadly-double-punch-together-turbines-and-disease-jeopardize-endangered-bats and https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/bat-killings-by-wind-energy-turbines-continue/ You’ll keep repeating the same industry-sourced bird studies, so that’s a stalemate.
To me, wind power defenders are simply lying about what’s really going on, just as climate-deniers lie about CO2 risks. You’re stuck on anthropocentric gestures toward solving climate change instead of questioning growthism or “sustainability” that requires no real sacrifice. Unless I’m mistaken, the main reason for this un-denial blog is because of those very attitudes! Wind energy is the opposite of where technology should be heading; big, noisy and clunky vs. small, quiet and agile.
Industrial wind blight created a tipping point among people who realized Man may never do the right thing by nature. Even if noise/birds/bats weren’t issues, spoiling nature’s majestic physical legacy to “save the planet” is crass and futile. It’s a gut reaction, like watching vandals white-tagging the Great Pyramids or trophy hunters turning elephants red. You don’t just accept it as normal.
Per unit, solar PV is a weaker power source than wind but it has the big advantage of placement on things that are already built (sprawling solar projects like the Ivanpah bird-fryer are mistakes). Solar PV and rooftop solar thermal systems should be greatly scaled-up to cover what wind is trying to supply.
Deep geothermal should also do the same. Tidal energy is too intrusive on a bigger scale and should never be built in non-industrial areas. Nuclear is a tricky topic but I’d still rather see it than more wind turbines. Enough said here.
Wind power is indeed no viable strategy to reduce CO2 emissions. Wind, solar make up only a marginal share of energy production (1%, 2% ?), and as long as we have economic growth we’ll have growing CO2 emissions. They can’t replace fossil fuels more than to a small degree so we’ll end up burning fossils as long as economic activity continues. The only way to reduce CO2 emissions is by shrinking the economy. We’ll get there when fossils peak or the economy crashes….
So the effect of renewables is really just a psychological one.
Of course we’ll also continue majorly wrecking the environment one way or the other, until we’re back to much lower population levels and subsistence living.
Population control is an orphan cause, as no one faction’s short-term self interest is furthered by espousing it. And the most powerful self-interest that drives growth is some form of greed. It’s obvious why corporate oligarchies promote pop growth – a bigger customer base to increase demand for goods and services, and bloated labor pools to drive down wages. A one-two punch that powerfully amplifies profits. But there’s also anthropocentric biologic greed, the selfish gene. This leads to zombie-like procreation behavior by the billions of people inhabiting the earth, people from every socioeconomic stratum. Logically, if couples just wanted the satisfaction and psychological rewards of raising a family they could just adopt one or more of the millions of impoverished and starving children already on the planet, but that is rarely their first choice, thanks to their innate biologic drive to promulgate their own DNA, not that of another “tribe” from half way around the world. Other factions like organized religions, special-interest groups, politicians, and countless others also have greed-related motives for promoting growth.
So, unless you expect to sell a few books (don’t expect to get on the best-seller list) about the subject, you almost have to be a perfectly altruistic saint to promote population control. Because in doing so, you would immediately be targeted as a racist, anti-family demagogue. On top of that, no benefits of pop control can come quickly and surely to you personally, only to the world at large over many years’ time. Human nature being what it is, how many people would want to take on a cause like that?
Population will be reducing soon. If people weren’t in denial about how this is going to happen I think they’d be happy and grateful to have only 1 child.

Over the marshes hung the gorgeous night with all his wandering bands of nomad stars, and his whole host of still ones blinked and watched.
Over the safe dry land to eastward, grey and cold, the first clear pallor of dawn was coming up above the heads of the immortal gods.
Then, as they neared at last the safety of the dry land, Love looked at the man whom he had led for so long through the marshes, and saw that his hair was white, for it was shining in the pallor of the dawn.
Then they stepped together on to the land, and the old man sat down weary on the grass, for they had wandered in the marshes for many years; and the light of the grey dawn widened above the heads of the gods.
And the old man made no answer, but wept softly.
Then Love was grieved in his little careless heart, and he said: 'You must not be sorry that I go, nor yet regret me, nor care for me at all.
'I am a very foolish child, and was never kind to you, nor friendly. I never cared for your great thoughts, or for what was good in you, but perplexed you by leading you up and down the perilous marshes. And I was so heartless that, had you perished where I led you, it would have been nought to me, and I only stayed with you because you were good to play with.
And still the old man spoke not, but wept softly; and Love grieved bitterly in his kindly heart.
And Love said: 'Because I am so small my strength has been concealed from you, and the evil that I have done. But my strength is great, and I have used it unjustly. Often I pushed you from the causeway through the marshes, and cared not if you drowned. Often I mocked you, and caused others to mock you. And often I led you among those that hated me, and laughed when they revenged themselves upon you.
'So weep not, for there is no kindness in my heart, but only murder and foolishness, and I am no companion for one so wise as you, but am so frivolous and silly that I laughed at your noble dreams and hindered all your deeds. See now, you have found me out, and now you will send me away, and here you will live at ease, and, undisturbed, have noble dreams of the immortal gods.
Still the old man wept softly.
And dawn grew brighter over the immortal gods, and the old man smiled through his tears, which glistened wondrously in the increasing light. But Love went down to the night and to the marshes, looking backward over his shoulder as he went, and smiling beautifully about his eyes. And in the marshes whereunto he went, in the midst of the gorgeous night, and under the wandering bands of nomad stars, rose shouts of laughter and the sounds of the dance.
And after a while, with his face towards the morning, Death out of the marshes came up tall and beautiful, and with a faint smile shadowy on his lips, and lifted in his arms the lonely man, being gentle with him, and, murmuring with his low deep voice an ancient song, carried him to the morning to the gods.

I am developing an App and my client wants to have fun and simple HTML5 Games inside.
Can someone please suggest a resource that allows me to buy cheap HTML5 Games that I can link too from within the App?
Normal/Expensive = Build your own contact list.
If you could elaborate on the subjective word 'cheap' we could help you better.
http://clay.io/publisher-tools and FGL are some other options.
Not true. The games are far better now, than they were 3 months ago.
Cleaning out the old stuff, supplementing with better devs, better games.
Arent the games mainly promoted on portal yours? Is MarketJS turning in to your private promotional platform?
Well ... I'm sorry for saying such a thing, since i haven't visited it a long time ago ... i hope you still allow developers to upload their games and mobile HTML5 support.
This guy is not looking for non exclusive sponsorships , but he is seeking a few games to put on his little app for his car shop or something. He was seeking 15$ per game , just saying.
I apologize , I miswrote. He doesn't want commercial licenses , He was looking for a very basic license to put some games on his website, something like what code canyon offers , for example.
No need to overtroll him with sarcasm.
If he was paying $500+ instead of $15 he could buy HTML5 games on my site, I have 30+ available.
You can build your own games portal using cheap games from CodeCanyon.net . HTML5 games starts just from 8 USD.
For your first post on this forum, you bump a three year old topic just to promote your own affiliate link?
Not really,just was looking for "cheap html5 games" in Google and got this tread on the first page.
Promoting a website that sells HTML5 games for basically nothing is only damaging to the developers here that are trying to make a living from this.
But it's more cheaper to setup games portal by mixing exclusive and non exclusive games.
It's irrelevant whether that's his first post or not.
It's absolutely relevant because it's my role as a staff member to decide which posts to approve from new users. When your very first post is a self-promotional necrobump intended to generate income from an affiliate link, it obviously raises concerns.
You and Neoprofessor posted your links in March 2014, 6 months after the previous post from November 2013. So I don't see the problem here.
I did not bump the topic, I replied a day after the topic was already bumped, just like you've replied to this topic after it was bumped again. The issues caused by constantly bumping topics are obvious and well documented.
guys relax lol. No need to turn this into some sort of mini-war. Well it's over anyways.
Just out of curiousity tho, is it possible to get payed for games without a registered business name?
Can't see why not Kitanga. However you look more professional if you have built up a profile and body of work.
This is essentially one of the big factors that killed FGL. Bad games from worse devs and dodgy vulture-like sponsors drove prices down in a race to the bottom. Good business model for the short-sighted, but definitely damaging.
You can buy html5 games on my site!
Buy Regular License or Extended License.

What Is Vigorous Muscle Maximizer?
Vigorous Muscle Maximizer is a pre workout supplement designed to help athletes increase their muscle mass. It is a supplement that provides a formula of all natural ingredients that enhance the body’s own natural processes. This may allow athletes and bodybuilders to train harder and longer with less fatigue. When combined with a proper workout routine and diet, this supplement may help to build lean muscle faster and easier than a person would be able to otherwise.
The Vigorous Muscle Maximizer is produced by the Vigorous Corporation. Unlike most supplement manufacturers, there is very little information about this company or its practices published online. The company appears to have made little effort to provide additional information about its practices, research or other products it offers. The average customer may assume that the company makes no other products.
The Vigorous Muscle Maximizer is designed to help athletes improve their physical performance during workouts. As a pre workout supplement, it is designed to be taken directly before a workout for maximum effect. This supplement delivers a range of compounds designed to allow muscles to work longer and harder before they fatigue as well as provide them with some essential nutrients they need to grow faster and bigger. This works together with vigorous exercise and a proper diet to help stimulate muscle growth beyond what would be achieved normally.
The supplement has several groups of ingredients consisting of amino acid concentrates, natural muscle stimulants and several key vitamins and minerals. It takes a different approach to muscle building compared to most other supplements of its type by focusing on amino acids and direct extracts as opposed to a blend of herbal supplements.
The ingredients in Vigorous Muscle Maximizer are grouped into several categories based primarily on the type of ingredient and their purpose in the supplement. Despite the rather lab-heavy names in the ingredients list, the vast majority are all natural substances that can already be found in food or in the body. They have just been extracted and purified for use in supplement form.
This is the primary workhorse for the Vigorous Muscle Maximizer. Most of the ingredients on this list, with OKG being the exception, are various amino acid extracts. These amino acids are carefully chosen for the properties they have and the role they play in muscle gain. This combination is not the same as a protein supplement, and it will not replace the need for high-quality complete protein in the diet. In fact, it may be most beneficial to combine supplements such as this one with a protein shake or bar.
AAKG is an extract of a non-essential amino acid. Its primary role in bodybuilding is to help muscles achieve max performance by helping the body remove the ammonia waste produced by working muscles. This allows a muscle to perform longer at higher intensities before fatiguing. It also plays a role in nitric oxide production in the liver. Nitric oxide gets lots of attention in pre workout supplements because of the important role it plays in reducing muscle fatigue and increasing circulation to the muscles.
OKG is the only ingredient in this group that is not an amino acid extract. Instead, it is an ionic salt that has long been studied in the role of wound healing and disease treatment. Researchers are not exactly sure why it works, but there is a large volume of research indicating its effectiveness. It was originally used to help prevent muscle loss in patients who were prevented in one way or another from exercising properly and maintaining muscle mass.
There is evidence to show that it plays a role in protein metabolism and thus speeds the healing and recovery process of all of the body’s tissues. This works well for bodybuilding because muscle recovery and growth involves damaging the muscles through intense activity and then allowing them to heal and grow back bigger and stronger. OKG is the supplement that helps the body do exactly that.
GKG is essentially an extract of the amino acid glutamine. This amino acid supplement works as a cell volumizer. It helps muscles cells get bigger and move more proteins around. Muscle cell volume is extremely important during a workout because it plays a strong role in the amount of work the muscle can do and the amount of fatigue it will incur before failing. It also helps athletes to feel better and stronger while working out.
L-Arginine is an amino acid commonly found in poultry, red meat and fish. It is a vital protein that plays a strong role in muscle growth and tissue synthesis. This amino acid is what provides the bulk of the material your muscles need to grow. While it can be obtained from food sources, especially if a person eats a lot of meat, it may be more advantageous for a bodybuilder to get a large supply in supplement form.
Beta-alanine is another non-essential amino acid that helps your muscles do more work. Unlike most of the other ingredients, the effects of beta-alanine are often felt as a tingle in the muscles. This tends to be more noticeable in those who have not taken a pre workout supplement before. It has been scientifically shown to act at least in part as a neurotransmitter. This means that it has a stimulating effect on the body almost like that of caffeine.
In muscles, it primarily plays a role in the synthesis of Carnosine. The presence of Carnosine in muscles is extremely important from a workout perspective. Carnosine helps muscles resist the buildup of hydrogen ions that occurs during high-intensity workouts. This rapidly leads to muscle fatigue, so Beta-Alanine plays an indirect but very important role in reducing muscle fatigue.
It is important to note, considering that Creatine is absent from the Vigorous Muscle Maximizer, that Beta-Alanine may function in largely the same role. There is a chance that it may even be one better because Creatine does not always work for everyone. That is not the case with Beta-Alanine, which has been shown effective in a wider variety of persons.
This stimulant blend represents one of the weaker aspects of the Vigorous Muscle Maximizer formula. Unlike most of the other ingredients, which are well understood and researched extracts, most of these stimulants are plant-based extracts with very weak research and known effectiveness in regards to sports performance or bodybuilding. This set of ingredients makes up the smallest part of the supplement.
Also known as Bitter Orange, Synephrine can be considered the most active chemical from this plant. It has been shown to be a weak stimulant that may play a role in increasing metabolism and fat burning. It is said to work similar to Ephedrine, but it is not as potent. This supplement delivers an acute dose of Synephrine that may have some effect, although the optimal dosage is usually spread across three smaller dosages a day. The scientific support for this ingredient is rather minimal. It may give noticeable increases in energy level similar to the effect of caffeine.
This is another plant extract from an evergreen tree commonly found in Africa. The plant has been used for centuries as a folk medicine. It is important to note that only one compound or part of the plant is effective. Specifically, a supplement must contain the bark of the tree or list the active chemical Yohimbine. Since Vigorous Muscle Maximizer does not specifically list Yohimbine or Yohimbe bark as the ingredient, the potency and relevance of this in the supplement is suspect. Assuming that the active compound is being used, then Yohimbe is a weak stimulant that may provide some noticeable increase in energy level. Few if any studies have shown it to be specifically effective for athletes. When combined with Synephrine or another stimulant, as it is in the Vigorous Muscle Maximizer, it may be more noticeable.
Niacin is the proper name for Vitamin B3. The B vitamins play a very important role in metabolism and energy production in the cells. Basically, more B vitamins means more energy. This is very important for athletes that need to increase their metabolism and have more energy available. The downside to having only Niacin is that the B vitamins work best when they are used together, commonly known as the B Complex. When only one vitamin is taken as a supplement, it tends to have less effectiveness.
This is a blend of basic nutrients and amino acids. They work to compliment the other ingredients in the formula. The basic nutrients play a very minor role in the product’s effectiveness. The amino acid L-Citrulline, however, is an important addition.
This is essentially a calcium supplement. While it is important for athletes to maintain strong bones, a calcium supplement will have very little to no direct effect on muscles or performance unless the person taking it already has a calcium deficiency. Calcium supplements are normally used to prevent bone fractures or weakness in those at risk for deficiency. It is also noteworthy that common calcium deficiencies have little to do with calcium and instead represent a Vitamin D deficiency since that vitamin is necessary for the metabolism and use of calcium. Since this supplement does not combine calcium with vitamin D, this ingredient may have a reduced effect.
A potassium supplement is somewhat more useful than a calcium supplement because potassium plays a much stronger and more direct role in cell metabolism and energy production. It will still have a very indirect role in sports performance.
This is a non-essential amino acid that the body converts into L-Arginine. Interestingly, there are a variety of benefits to including L-Citrulline in addition to or even instead of direct amounts of L-Arginine. Some research shows that large doses of L-Arginine tend to be poorly absorbed and may have the side effect of producing diarrhea. L-Citrulline can be supplemented in high doses without this problem and may result in net higher blood concentrations of L-Arginine compared to supplementing with L-Arginine alone.
Like L-Arginine, L-Citrulline has a strong effect on the ammonia recycling process in muscles. By increasing the efficiency at which muscles can remove the buildup of ammonia, these supplements may allow the muscle to work harder before fatiguing.
This chemical compound is found naturally in the body and plays a strong role in mental alertness and energy metabolism. It has a very similar role as the stimulants in this supplement but a much different method of action. It is not necessarily a stimulant, but it may provide more energy and focus for intense workouts. It is commonly used in supplement form, and it has decent research and usage support.
The ingredients here are both scientific names for basic nutrient supplements. While they are very important nutrients for health, they will likely have little to no direct impact on sports performance or bodybuilding.
This is another version of a potassium supplement. While potassium plays a crucial role in the body, doubling up on this basic nutrient in a pre workout formula does not seem necessary.
This is a magnesium supplement. Magnesium is important in bone structure and health. It compliments the calcium supplement and is a common ingredient in pre workout formulas. While it can be difficult to get adequate magnesium from food, a supplement form may have some benefit.
The Vigorous Muscle Maximizer has enough quality ingredients to have some effect on workout performance and the development of lean muscle mass. It may generally be considered effective as a pre workout supplement. While many of its minor ingredients are just basic vitamin and mineral supplements, it does have a majority of highly effective ingredients with proven roles in performance and muscle building. This is especially true of the first set of ingredients that contains L-Arginine and Beta-Alanine. By giving the body a high dose of nitric oxide producing compounds, workout performance may be increased and muscle fatigue may be decreased.
The plant-based stimulants may also play a minor role in improving energy levels and alertness. Many stimulants have been shown to allow muscles to work harder for longer periods before fatiguing or to decrease the notability of fatigue.
The Vigorous Muscle Maximizer has no known or noteworthy certifications as a whole. Looking at its ingredients list, most of its ingredients are well known and understood to be effective from a health and scientific standpoint, but they do not necessarily have certifications.
This pre workout supplement has been great for my performance. I started to notice the stimulating effect right away and it improved even my very first workout.
I love using the Vigorous Muscle Maximizer. I really like the feel it gives after I take it. I feel ready to tackle the toughest weights and workouts. My muscles don’t get tired as fast, and after a few weeks of taking it I’ve noticed that I’m ready to go again much faster than before.
The Vigorous Muscle Maximizer is one of the best and most noticeable pre workouts I’ve tried. My muscles got big and full in the very first workout, and the feeling was superb. I can’t say enough good things about this supplement. It’s something you have to try for yourself.
I’ve used a number of pre workout supplements, and I think Vigorous Muscle Maximizer is the best I’ve tried so far. I can really feel it working in my body, and the effect it has on my workouts over the last few weeks has been obvious. Thumbs up from me.
