I was really amazed to see how hot the Mercedes heat exchanger was
getting from my trip today. At one point while driving around
Albuquerque I measured this temperature of 171.5. This is just before

30 August 2012 – Humanitarian organizations in Afghanistan expressed grave concern today over how little attention is being paid to address the ever growing humanitarian needs of the country, where many groups including the United Nations have their biggest humanitarian operations.
Speaking at a roundtable organized in the capital, Kabul, to mark World Humanitarian Day, aid agencies warned that with increasing incidents of disaster – coupled with the insecurity in the country and the large number of Afghans living in chronic poverty – would have political and security consequences.
“Not paying sufficient attention to the humanitarian situation, in my view, is a problem. If there is a linkage between that and availability of resources, it is something we need to do something about,” said Michael Keating, the United Nations Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator in Afghanistan.
Afghanistan ranks in the bottom 10 per cent of the Human Development Index. More than one-third of the population lives below the poverty line. One in every two children under five is chronically malnourished. To add to that, so far in 2012, about 300 natural disasters have struck the country affecting more than 200,000 people. Up to 600,000 people are internally displaced and 5.7 million Afghan refugees have returned home since 2002.
Mr. Keating expressed his disappointment over the poor response to a UN appeal earlier this year for US$ 437 million for humanitarian preparedness and response in Afghanistan for 2012. Only 33 per cent, or about US$ 150 million, of the requested amount has been received in eight months. In addition, the Emergency Response Fund only received its first funds in early August.
World Humanitarian Day is celebrated on 19 August, to honour the 22 people killed in an attack on a UN building in Baghdad on that day in 2003. The humanitarian community in Afghanistan marked the day today because the actual day coincided with the first day of Eid-ul-Fitr, a Muslim holiday.
Representatives of about a dozen humanitarian organizations active in Afghanistan marked the day with a call to recognize the dire humanitarian situation of the country and to act to address this. They also called for more media attention to the situation that would help raise the issue globally.
“We (the humanitarian community) need to address this and we simply are not in a position to address them as fully as we would like to,” Mr. Keating told the gathering, adding that, although local people and communities are the “biggest humanitarian actors” in this country, their ability to cope with growing humanitarian needs is also decreasing.
He said the humanitarian community was also concerned that economic activities and jobs would decrease in line with the transition towards 2014. “There are all sorts of business opportunities associated with their (international military’s) presence that will decline. When people have less income, they become more vulnerable.”

Berlin boasts two zoological gardens, a consequence of decades of political and administrative division of the city. The older one, called Zoo Berlin, founded in 1844, is situated in what is now called the "City West". It is the most species-rich zoo worldwide. The other one, called Tierpark Berlin ("Animal Park"), was established on the long abandoned premises of Friedrichsfelde Manor Park in the eastern borough of Lichtenberg, in 1954. Covering 160 ha, it is the largest landcape zoo in Europe. Both have now a common directorate.
Im Tierpark Berlinsind 2023 rund 20 lebensgroßen Dinosaurier, über den Park verteilt, zu sehen.. Die tonnenschweren Nachbildungen sind nicht nur optisch bis ins Detail ihren lebenden „Vorfahren“ nachempfunden. Spezielle Technik lässt die Dinosaurier täuschend echt wiederbelebt erscheiunen. Sie zeigen so auch typische Bewegungsabläufe und geben akustische Laute von sich. Zusätzlich zu den beweglichen Exponaten erfahren die Besucher*innen in einer thematischen Ausstellung mehr über die Lebensweise der Dinosaurier und können erstaunliche Parallelen zur heutigen Tierwelt entdecken. „Dinosaurier gelten als das bekannteste Symbol für ausgestorbene Tierarten – die Faszination für T-Rex und seine Artgenossen ist bis heute ungebrochen“, verkündet Zoo- und Tierpark-Direktor Dr. Andreas Knieriem. „Und das Thema Artensterben ist hockaktuell – über 37.000 Arten gelten derzeit weltweit als unmittelbar vom Aussterben bedroht. Auch heutige Giganten, wie der Afrikanische Elefant oder das Spitzmaulnashorn, könnten – wenn wir nicht intervenieren – ausgerottet werden“, ergänzt Knieriem. Die Dinosaurier-Ausstellung ist von April bis Oktober 2023 zu sehen. Der Besuch bei Triceratops und Co. ist im regulären Eintrittspreis enthalten.

In 2023, around 20 life-size dinosaurs are on display in the Berlin Animal Park, spread throughout the park. The replicas, which weigh several tonnes, are not only visually modelled on their living "ancestors" down to the last detail. Special technology makes the dinosaurs look as if they have been brought back to life. They also show typical movements and make acoustic sounds. In addition to the moving exhibits, visitors can learn more about the dinosaurs' way of life in a thematic exhibition and discover astonishing parallels to the animal world of today. "Dinosaurs are considered the best-known symbol of extinct animal species - the fascination with T-Rex and his fellow species is still unbroken today," announces Zoo and Animal Park Director Dr. Andreas Knieriem. "And species extinction is highly topical - more than 37,000 species are currently considered to be in imminent danger of extinction worldwide. Even today's giants, such as the African elephant or the black rhinoceros, could - if we don't intervene - be wiped out," adds Knieriem. The dinosaur exhibition is on display from April to October 2023. A visit to Triceratops and Co. is included in the regular admission price.

This is a modest hommage to the courageous people of Fukushima prefecture. They survived a triple disaster in 2011 and are now, nine years later, still fighting with the consequences. I wish them well in their strugle for their beautiful province and thank them for their kindness during this trip.
Fukushima is the third largest prefecture in Japan (14,000 km²), and one of its least densely populated. The prefecture is divided into three main regions: Aizu in the west, Naka dori in the centre and Hama dori in the east. Aizu is mountainous with snowy winters, while the climate in Hama dori is moderated by the Pacific Ocean.
The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster (福島第一原子力発電所事故 Fukushima Dai-ichi (About this soundpronunciation) genshiryoku hatsudensho jiko) was a nuclear accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in Ōkuma, Fukushima Prefecture. The disaster was the most severe nuclear accident since the 26 April 1986 Chernobyl disaster and the only other disaster to be given the Level 7 event classification of the International Nuclear Event Scale.
The accident was started by the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami on 11 March 2011.] On detecting the earthquake, the active reactors automatically shut down their fission reactions. Because of the reactor trips and other grid problems, the electricity supply failed, and the reactors' emergency diesel generators automatically started. Critically, they were powering the pumps that circulated coolant through the reactors' cores to remove decay heat, which continues after fission has ceased. The earthquake generated a 14-meter-high tsunami that swept over the plant's seawall and flooded the plant's lower grounds around the Units 1–4 reactor buildings with sea water, filling the basements and knocking out the emergency generators. The resultant loss-of-coolant accidents led to three nuclear meltdowns, three hydrogen explosions, and the release of radioactive contamination in Units 1, 2 and 3 between 12 and 15 March. The spent fuel pool of previously shut-down Reactor 4 increased in temperature on 15 March due to decay heat from newly added spent fuel rods, but did not boil down sufficiently to expose the fuel.
In the days after the accident, radiation released to the atmosphere forced the government to declare an ever larger evacuation zone around the plant, culminating in an evacuation zone with a 20-kilometer radius. All told, some 154,000 residents evacuated from the communities surrounding the plant due to the rising off-site levels of ambient ionizing radiation caused by airborne radioactive contamination from the damaged reactors.
Large amounts of water contaminated with radioactive isotopes were released into the Pacific Ocean during and after the disaster. Michio Aoyama, a professor of radioisotope geoscience at the Institute of Environmental Radioactivity, has estimated that 18,000 terabecquerel (TBq) of radioactive caesium 137 were released into the Pacific during the accident, and in 2013, 30 gigabecquerel (GBq) of caesium 137 were still flowing into the ocean every day. The plant's operator has since built new walls along the coast and also created a 1.5-kilometer-long "ice wall" of frozen earth to stop the flow of contaminated water.
While there has been ongoing controversy over the health effects of the disaster, a 2014 report by the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR) and World Health Organization projected no increase in miscarriages, stillbirths or physical and mental disorders in babies born after the accident. An ongoing intensive cleanup program to both decontaminate affected areas and decommission the plant will take 30 to 40 years, plant management estimate.
On 5 July 2012, the National Diet of Japan Fukushima Nuclear Accident Independent Investigation Commission (NAIIC) found that the causes of the accident had been foreseeable, and that the plant operator, Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), had failed to meet basic safety requirements such as risk assessment, preparing for containing collateral damage, and developing evacuation plans. At a meeting in Vienna three months after the disaster, the International Atomic Energy Agency faulted lax oversight by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, saying the ministry faced an inherent conflict of interest as the government agency in charge of both regulating and promoting the nuclear power industry. On 12 October 2012, TEPCO admitted for the first time that it had failed to take necessary measures for fear of inviting lawsuits or protests against its nuclear plants.
The biggest consequence of the square in Kinetic Energy is that a car going fast becomes a more dangerous object at a very rapid rate. Here are some numbers calculating kinetic energy for two identical cars: one going 20m/s and one going twice as fast. You can see that the 40 m/s car doesn't have twice the energy, but FOUR TIMES the energy. The right half of this slide shows that since brakes stop cars with a constant force, this means that for the twice as fast car, it needs FOUR TIMES the stopping distance. Don't speed in school zones, y'all.

The palace chapel, as a consequence of the Duke's death, now obtained even greater importance. The design was altered by the Marlboroughs' friend the Earl of Godolphin, who placed the high altar in defiance of religious convention against the west wall, thus allowing the dominating feature to be the Duke's gargantuan tomb and sarcophagus. Commissioned by the Duchess in 1730, it was designed by William Kent, and statues of the Duke and Duchess depicted as Caesar and Caesarina adorn the great sarcophagus. In bas relief at the base of the tomb, the Duchess ordered to be depicted the surrender of Marshal Tallard. However, the theme throughout the palace of honouring the Duke did not reach its apotheosis until the dowager duchess's death in 1744. Then, the Duke's coffin was returned to Blenheim from its temporary resting place, Westminster Abbey, and husband and wife were interred together and the tomb erected and completed.[15] Now Blenheim had indeed become a pantheon and mausoleum. Successive Dukes and their wives are also interred in the vault beneath the chapel. Other members of family are interred in St. Martin's parish churchyard at Bladon, a short distance from the palace.

The construction of highways/motorways ("dálnice", literally "farway" in czech) on the Czech soil commenced in 1939 as both direct and indirect consequence of the Munich agreement. The indirect one was that after several years of lingering, the czech government finally gave a green light to the project of a highway between Prague and Slovakia as an instant need to feed several hundred thousand refugees from now nazi Sudetenland emerged. The direct one was that according to the agreement Czechoslovakia was obliged to allow Germany to build a highway between then German cities of Breslaw (today Wroclaw in Poland) and Vienna traversing its territory. The interchange of the two highways was planned near Brno. This way the construction of two highways began about the same time in 1939 but neither of them was finished before the ban on all civilian construction was issued by german authorities in 1941 due to war shortages (nazi Germany occupied the remainder of Czech territory as soon as march 1939).
While the post-war changes of borders rendered the (now polish) Breslau - Vienna highway somewhat useless and the construction site was abandoned altogether (however there are plans to build R43 expressway on some parts of it), the works on the czech highway Prague - Brno - Slovakia were resumed. Unfortunately the works had low intensity and in fact were limited to the basic maintenance of what had been built before 1941. In 1950 the works stopped altogether as the government of now communist Czechoslovakia didn't see the future in something so individualist like an automobile. The construction sites remained vacant until the late 1960s when the new boom of motorism forced government to resume the construction once again. The new highway used as many of the previously built structures as ingeneers were able to design despite sometimes more modern codes amounted into some really awkward solutions.

To the very end of a planned Nazi highway... worth seeing? I guess so...

Auf einer Fläche von 60.000 m² hat nun die einzigartige Tierwelt des Himalaya Einzug gehalten. Dabei begegnen den Bergsteiger*innen nicht nur bekannte Gebirgsbewohner wie Rote Pandas, Schneeleoparden und Bartgeier, sondern auch weniger bekannte Arten wie Goldtakin, Goral, Manul und Satyrtragopan. Nach einer Bauzeit von gut einem Jahr verwandelte sich der 60 Meter hohe Trümmerberg in eine asiatische Gebirgslandschaft mit zahlreichen neuen Aussichtpunkten. Rund 100 Individuen aus 22 verschiedenen – größtenteils in der Natur bedrohten - Tierarten haben in Berlins Hochgebirge ihr neues Zuhause gefunden. (Tierpark Berlin)

The unique animal world of the Himalayas has now found its way into an area of 60,000 m². Climbers will not only encounter well-known mountain dwellers such as red pandas, snow leopards and bearded vultures, but also lesser-known species such as takin, goral, Pallas'scat and satyr tragopan. After a construction period of just over a year, the 60-metre-high mountain of rubble was transformed into an Asian mountain landscape with numerous new vantage points. Around 100 individuals from 22 different animal species - most of them endangered in the wild - have found their new home in Berlin's high mountains. (Source: Tierpark Berlin)
The nature and pace of climate changes being observed today and the consequences projected by consensus scientific opinion are serious and pose severe risks for our national security. The CNA Military Advisory Board (MAB), a group of more than a dozen admirals and generals from all four branches of the U.S. military, first published a report on these threats in 2007. After nearly a decade of advances in scientific understanding and slow, or in many cases non-existent, reactions to projected changes, the MAB felt compelled to provide an update.
A strong call for action has been issued with the newly released 5th IPCC report, which illustrates the high environmental and security risks imposed by climate change. This call for action extends to the role of demographers in anticipating how climate change will interact with demographic factors such as population growth, women’s empowerment, age-structure, migration, and urbanization. At the same time, it’s important to address the population, environment, and security implications of extreme weather events and climate variability. Join us in a discussion with leading researchers to identify the critical questions and gaps in understanding what needs to be addressed, and how a population perspective can contribute to the development of effective adaptation strategies in Africa.

Annie Louise Burton (c.1850-c. 1910), was born the enslaved daughter of a woman named Nancy, the cook of Mr. and Mrs. William Farrin, whose plantation was near Clayton. Annie Louise's father, a white man born in Liverpool, England, owned a plantation that was a long walk from the Farrins.
In her autobiography, Annie wrote: "My mother and my mistress were children together, and grew up to be mothers together. My mother was the cook in my mistress's household. One morning when master had gone to Eufaula, my mother and my mistress got into an argument, the consequence of which was that my mother was whipped, for the first time in her life. Whereupon, my mother refused to do any more work, and ran away from the plantation.. . . One morning in April 1865, my master got the news that the Yankees had left Mobile Bay and crossed the Confederate lines, and that the Emancipation Proclamation had been signed by President Lincoln. Mistress suggested that the slaves should not be told of their freedom; but master said he would tell them, because they would soon find it out, even if he did not tell them. Mistress, however, said she could keep my mother's three children, for my mother had now been gone so long."
"My mother came for us at the end of the year 1865, and demanded that her children be given up to her. This, mistress refused to do, and threatened to set the dogs on my mother if she did not at once leave the place. My mother went away, and remained with some of the neighbors until supper time. Then she got a boy to tell Caroline [Annie's sister] to come down to the fence. When she came, my mother told her to go back and get Henry and myself and bring us down to the gap in the fence as quick as she could. Then my mother took Henry in her arms, and my sister carried me on her back. We climbed fences and crossed fields, and after several hours came to a little hut which my mother had secured on a plantation. We had no more than reached the place, and made a little fire, when master's two sons rode up and demanded that the children be returned. My mother refused to give us up. Upon her offering to go with them to the Yankee headquarters to find out if it were really true that all Negroes had been made free, the young men left, and troubled us no more. "
"In 1866, another man hired the plantation on which our hut stood, and we moved into Clayton, to a little house my mother secured there. A rich lady came to our house one day, looking for some one to take care of her little daughter. I was taken, and adopted into this family. This rich lady was Mrs. E. M. Williams, a music teacher, the wife of a lawyer. We called her "Mis' Mary." Some rich people in Clayton who had owned slaves, opened the Methodist church on Sundays, and began the work of teaching the Negroes. My new mistress sent me to Sunday school every Sunday morning, and I soon got so that I could read. Mis' Mary taught me every day at her knee. I soon could read nicely, and went through Sterling's Second Reader, and then into McGuthrie's Third Reader.
After this Mis' Mary kept on with my studies, and taught me to write. As I grew older, she taught me to cook and how to do housework. During this time Mis' Mary had given my mother one dollar a month in return for my services; now as I grew up to young womanhood, I thought I would like a little money of my own. Accordingly, Mis' Mary began to pay me four dollars a month, besides giving me my board and clothes. For two summers she "let me out" while she was away, and I got five dollars a month.
"I owe a great deal to Mis' Mary for her good training of me, in honesty, uprightness and truthfulness. She told me that when I went out into the world all white folks would not treat me as she had, but that I must not feel bad about it, but just do what I was employed to do, and if I wasn't satisfied, to go elsewhere; but always to carry an honest name."
Annie left the South in 1879, living in Boston and then in New York City. In both cities, she supported herself as a domestic worker (cook, maid, housekeeper, laundress).
In fall 1884, Annie returned South after her sister died, leaving behind a son, Lawrence. Annie wrote that she was able to support her nephew all the way through his studies at Hampton Institute in Virginia. She was able to do this largely because of her success as a restaurateur, first in Jacksonville, Florida, and later in Boston.
In Boston she married Samuel Burton, who worked as a valet in Braintree.
In 1900 Annie Louise Burton started attending a night school in Boston. She took classes at this school for about six years. The headmaster, Frank Guild, suggested that each of the students write their life story..Annie began work on the two autobiographical essays in her book Memories of Childhood's Slavery (1909). The book also contains a composition on Abraham Lincoln along with Burton's favorite poems and hymns.

Wind.
Wind makes waves. Waves run perpendicular on the wind's direction. Windsurfing is always done half wind. Half wind courses lay parallel with the tubes the waves make at open ocean. Perfect. Pythogaros' law is also to be used. Next to Pythagoras, also Isaac Newton laws are used in the windurfformula: action equals with reaction, because there is no arm working between the two forces, or, no capsizing couple between to two forces.
High winds, big waves, big stable sailing spailboats imply energy.
Cars, next part:
Since the arrival of the clutch pedal, we have two types of drivers. One type knows nothing about this so-called double clutching and takes turns always in the wrong gear, while the revolutions of the engine are too low for the lower gear. The difference in revolutions of the engine and the revolutions of the gear box is settled by the clutch plates. This has an evil consequence, because all these ignorant drivers together are wearing out the clutch plates unnecessarily. Frequent replacement of all those worn out clutch plates takes enormous amounts of steel. And the production of steel is bad for the environment. The other type, mostly (old) truckers, rally drivers and racing car drivers, just use only the left pedal to put the gear stick in the neutral position, while they break with their right foot at the same time.
At the moment the the stick is in neutral position, the right foot measures the exact amount of gas, to drive up the revolutions of the engine, in order to equalize it with the revolutions of the gear box in the lower gear. Once this is accomplished, in a split second!, the driver pulls the stick instantly into the lower gear, without pushing the clutch pedal (slipping the clutch). Pushing the clutch pedal is not necessary anymore, because the two coupling plates have the same revolutions. This is actually the technique of motoring.
Procedure during breaking and taking a slow curve:
The clutch plates are disconnected, and for this the driver uses the left foot. At the same time the car is slowed down by the drivers right foot. The driver can not let go of the break, so that the amount of gas in the neutral position has to be realized by also the right foot. The small amount of extra gas in the neutral position drives up the revolutions of the engine, and because there is no traction right now, this amount of gas will leave the cylinders very much unburnt, and by doing so, it lubricates the cylinders. The engine becomes faster, and more efficient and cleaner as a result. As a consequence the engine also gets more power. This is caused by the lubrication between the pistons and the cylinders.
Getting into higher gears, during acceleration, is less complicated, because the revolutions of every next gear are lower. Take for example the changing of the gears during 100 km / hr, from third gear to the fourth gear. Let us assume that at this speed the revolutions of the engine in third gear are 4000 rpm and in fourth gear 3000 rpm. During the period that the gear stick is the neutral position, the revolutions of the engine drop, so that the moment of changing gears is a matter of paying attention. Or a matter of listening, as they did in early days. As soon as the revolutions drop from 4000 rpm to 3000 rpm, the driver pulls the stick instantly to fourth gear. And, once again, without using the clutch pedal.
Operating an engine properly is like loving your engine. Once motorists know that the actual competition is based on the driving skill, especially on curvy roads, then they can more easily hold back on the freeways. Because they will found out that pushing the gas pedal on straight roads is an act of stupidness and a misplaced showing off of supremacy. Let me give an example. In sailing boat races -regattas-, in where all comparators have the same boat, it is the skill and the intelligence of the sailors that matters. And, in a regatta with different sailing boats, each boat has a s-called handicap indicator. So, even when the biggest boat with the most sails has the line honors, the calculation on the hand of the handicap indicators decides who the actual winner is.
Learning this driving skill is to be done by using pen and paper. Note at each speed, in each gear, the rpm of the engine. To be seen at rev-counter the dashboard, next to the speedometer. For example: note in second gear, at 40 km / hr, 2500 rpm. In third, at 40 km / hr, 1500 rpm, etc. One will see that during normal driving the difference in revolutions between two successive gears is approximately 1000 rpm. The amount of gas, in the neutral position of the gear stick, during slowing down is therefor in most of cases is only around the 1000 rpm. When drivers learn to do this, the consequence is that the clutch plates no longer rub unnecessarily. This is good for the environment and for our health. Changing gears with too few, or too many, revolutions of the engine, with respect to the revolutions of the specific gear is an expression of contempt towards the environment and our health, because it shortens the life of the gear box. We therefore need to replace the clutch plates more often, and therefore we need to produce more steel, and this steel production is bad for the environment and our health.
And, when drivers know how to take a turn, they successively will find out the fun of it. They find out that it is not the size of the engine that matters, but the technique that is thrilling. When I speak for myself, I always dare the fast cars at curvy roads in cities at night. Half way cornering, they look perplex to my much smaller car passing them, because where they are always in the wrong gear, I am giving them the sound of the double clutching, which is the racing sound and the sound of the after burning in the exhaust of the amount of fuel given in the neutral position of the gear stick.
In order to master this original art of motoring one must firstly practice the (double) clutching procedure at low speeds during a lot of years. In cities and villages is the average speed of making a turn approximately 30, 40 up to 50 km/hr. Let us now assume that put the environment and our health at the top of our priorities. Then we can say, that only when a driver knows how to change gears without rubbing the clutch plates over each other, he /she is allowed to approach a bend with an higher speed than 40 to 50 km / hr. This way drivers do not need to change gears. And so there is no rubbing of the clutch plates. So, if we hypothetically assume that the environment and our health comes first, then this implies that one cannot drive everywhere faster than 40 to 50 km/hr in cities and villages, because only at these speeds drivers do not need to change gears. The result is then, that all cars just drive at a even speed. In addition, in the future it is then a small and easy step to adjust the traffic lights, so that the main stream keeps on driving. Even the speeds can be coordinated by means of a series satellites, which provide the motorists with exactly the speed to use.
Driving at these regulated / imposed speeds will cause us to pollute much less, than we do now. The motorists loose, as a consequence their freedom. And that is logical, because they have proved not to be able handle that former freedom. I think, that if people know that a large part of the emissions and greenhouse gas is actually not necessary, it is a small step to adopt a law by a majority of votes, which law takes away the freedom of the motorists. This law contains: everywhere in the city a maximum speed of 40 up to 50 km/hr, and everywhere around cities a maximum of 60 a 70km/hr, with the exception of the bottlenecks and merging lanes: where motorist should drive 120 km/hr. The use of cars in this way, becomes equivalent to public transportations. In this way the common people have the same destiny as the rich, with equality as a result and at the foundation of this new traffic law.
A great deal of green house gasses are made by the rich, by the people who do not behave themselves on the roads and by not developed driving skills. We live in democracies. We can now prove that motorists cannot drive properly. Before they can, a learning process is necessary. During the learning process, in which they learn to change gears without wearing out the clutch plates unnecessarily and in which learning period they learn that it makes no sense to precede / approach a traffic-jam at 140km/hr, it is wise to conclude that the driving speed has to be brought down, by law.
It seems clear to me, that every driver in urban traffic has to let go of the gas for making turns. Motorists then can take turns without clutching. This is possible, because of the current overcapacity of the engine contents. Third gear will stand for slow acceleration after each curve. Automatically, the motorists who wants to master the double clutching, do not need to slow down, break with the right foot and are therefore able to give a bit of gas with the right foot, in the neutral position of the gear stick, in order to try to equalize the revolutions with the desired revolutions in second gear. So, with lower speeds, a lot of drivers can master the skill of driving, and those who do not want to learn, just keep on going in third gear, before, during and after the turn. Slow speeds in cities mean less breaking, and less wearing out of the clutch plates. There will be less fine particles coming from breaks.
Over approximately twenty years there will be electric cars and on hydrogen running engines, and as the road network widens, it is possible the raise speed limit again. First of all, we need to know how to drive and that is acquiring knowledge.
It is, with this knowledge in mind, very stupid to approach a curve at high speeds, without knowing what to do during the taking of the curve. Most people still break abruptly, and they forget to give a measured quantity of gas in the neutral position of the gear stick, before they shift to a lower gear. The clutch plates settle the differences between the revolutions of the engine and the revolutions of the lower gear. Not only does this show a lack of inexperience, it wears out the clutch plates. Double clutching is not easy, but doable and very desirable.
Considered scientifically, it is agonizing to observe that the major part of the motorists can not see the simple fact, that it makes no sense to overtake each other during the peak hours, and that they not even know how to make a turn. Both on the freeways as in the city, the present driving behavior show a lack of inexperience and ignorance. In the interest of the environment we must learn. Technique have to be developed, instead of bruit strength. The only solution against wasting fuel and reduction of clogging is judiciously use.
Getting into higher gears, during acceleration, is less complicated, because the revolutions of every next gear are lower. Take for example the changing of the gears during 100 km / hr, from third gear to the fourth gear. Let us assume that at this speed the revolutions of the engine in third gear are 4000 rpm and in fourth gear 3000 rpm. During the period that the gear stick is the neutral position, the revolutions of the engine drop, so that the moment of changing gears is a matter of paying attention.

You see: the change of one single law / legislation, allowing the introduction of technology to allow retracting and extending, spoilers on cars, which may lead to reform of the major industries.

Conclusion, also printed at end on next page.
I now want to take you all the way. I want (and I know how the subject of this script: turbo windmills and spailboats) to generate energy by using the high winds, both close to the arctic areas and near where we live, spailcrafts and turbo wind mills, in combination the exploitation of the low wind regime by conventional wind turbines and conventional modern sailing boats. So, by combining the use of all sorts of wind converters, the wind is for use everywhere in the world and its operational window covers from 2 bft until 12 bft.
The wind is therefore now a reliable energy source. A reliable energy source was the reason of why the industrial revolution took off. Any wind, up to 12 bft, is to be converted into spinning axles, which produce firstly electricity, and in addition hydrogen, nitrogen and / or presses the ordinary air in pressure tanks. We then bring these gasses to where we live with special tankers,while these tankers are propelled with motors running on these gasses. Back home we use for example the hydrogen to drive hydrogen engines. If we now hypothetically assume that we can work with spoilers on freeways, then we have plastic autos that run on hydrogen, while the spoilers retract and extend with pressurized nitrogen. The oil companies now provide oil as a construction material for the construction of spailboats, turbo wind mills, ordinary wind turbines, ordinary sail boats, tankers, airplanes, cars, trains, buses anything that moves et cetera. The means of transport is particularly hydrogen, which has been generated close the arctic poles and brought to where we live, in plastic tankers and special wheeled carriers.
You must be aware that the energy source is endless, so that the huge motors for the big carriers can be fed with endlessly amounts of clean hydrogen and / pressurized air.
The condition for harvesting the endless energy source is to build turbo windmills and spailboats first. Then we have hydrogen in huge quantities. With endlessly amounts of hydrogen, we do not need oil for the engines, and so we can use it for making plastic cars, with retractable and extendable spoilers.
In my picture of the future, we no longer burn the oil and coals and natural gas. Neither do we need nuclear power.
The End
Or should I say The Beginning!
