O Lagar de Vara localizado na Alameda da Carvalha, na Sertã, Portugal, é uma réplica de um antigo lagar tradicional utilizado para a produção de azeite. Esta estrutura em xisto, coberta por telha de canudo, empregava a força da vara e de rodas hidráulicas para prensar a azeitona e extrair o azeite. O processo incluÃa a moagem da azeitona, a prensagem em seiras e a separação do azeite por decantação, seguindo técnicas de origem romana que marcaram a economia agrÃcola da região até à introdução das prensas hidráulicas no século XIX. Este lagar de vara tradicional, preservado na região da Sertã, no centro de Portugal, é um elemento patrimonial da cultura olivÃcola portuguesa. Funcionando desde o perÃodo medieval até meados do século XX, estes lagares eram fundamentais na economia rural das Beiras e constituÃam pontos de encontro comunitário durante a safra da azeitona.
The pole mill, located in Alameda da Carvalha, in Sertã, Portugal, is a replica of an old traditional mill used to produce olive oil. This schist structure, covered in straw tiles, used the force of a stick and hydraulic wheels to press the olives and extract the oil. The process included milling the olives, pressing them in threshing floors and separating the oil by decanting, following Roman techniques that marked the region's agricultural economy until the introduction of hydraulic presses in the 19th century. This traditional pole mill, preserved in the region of Sertã, in central Portugal, is a heritage element of Portuguese olive-growing culture. Operating from the medieval period until the mid-20th century, these mills were fundamental to the rural economy of the Beiras and were community meeting points during the olive harvest.

General Fireninja has an unconventional way to extract oil. Fiery Finland has invented an oil extraction magnet that pulls droplets out of the ground and they are put into special canisters. A crane then loads the canisters onto transport vehicles for use. A valve is added to the top of each canister to allow for gas venting, as evidenced by the green flame. There is the occasional spill as the combustible material is whipped around by a crane, however. An owl likes to hang out with Fiery Fred (not to be confused with frightened Fred).
General BB commentary: These pyros should not be allowed anywhere near an oil site. If I were you, I'd get the hell away from B27 because they are about to put a new hole in the planet. As if B wasn't scarred enough. Looking at the build, the idea of siphoning oil with some kind of magnet is pretty rad, and who doesn't like cranes moving precious cargo?
Also this is the general's first attempt at digital (as is mine helping him). I must commend him for trying to diversify his skillset during the games.

My friend Lisa (pictured here) and I recently got a modest grant to work on a series of three stories together -- about food production and the drought, and/or climate change, in California. Lisa is an independent public radio journalist who has been working on a county-by-county series called California Foodways.

The work we'll be doing together -- her radio reporting + my photographs -- will complement the work Lisa has already done on the subject of food & food production (or just interesting stories but seen somehow through the prism of food!).
This photograph doesn't have anything to do with the stories we're working on, except that it was taken on our way home from some work we did down in Paso Robles and San Luis Obispo last weekend. :)
Happy weekend, everyone. xo, --Cynthia
The first well, sunk on Formby Moss by the D'Arcy Exploration Company in 1939, is still giving oil to-day, although operations were suspended during the war.
This oil, however, is only a seepage from a Larger field and efforts to find this field have been continuing since this was realised. The larger field could he any distance away from Formby as it only needs a long enough fissure beneath the earth for the oil to run for many miles before reaching a place where it can go no further.
The question as to whether the Formby oil will be of any help to Britain if the Persian oil-fields are closed is easily answered by giving some statistics. First there are only five other oil-fields in Britain, four in Nottingham and one near Leicester. The output of the Formby field is between one and two tons per day, or about 300 to 500 gallons; although the source is still there, the supply is dropping and is nowhere near what it was.
The output of the six British oil-fields is 60,000 tons a year or 420,000 barrels, and the British consumption is 124 million tons a year or 874 million barrels, so that although Britain will need all the oil she can get, the British oil-fields will hardly alter the situation at all.
A gas flare, or flare stack, is employed to eliminate waste gas and to reduce pressure from gas exiting the earth. Here, in Woncolo Indonesia, a "traditional" oil well operation uses bamboo, wood, and truck transmissions to extract oil from the earth.
In Wonocolo Indonesia, oil is extracted and then sent through a filtration system consisting of small channels dug into the hillside. The crude oil/water emulsion is filtered as it pours into pools and oil drums, and is eventually collected and then heated. The heated crude is distilled into diesel fuel.
Which is worse: small-scale messes like this every day, or large scale messes like the Deepwater Horizon in the Gulf of Mexico?
Oil is extracted using a truck transmission attached to a simple down hole pump. In Woncolo, Indonesia, the oil is allowed to spill down the hill, collected into sluices, and then funneled into barrels where it is filtered into crude and then distilled into diesel.
In Woncolo Indonesia, oil is pumped using a truck transmission. The body of the truck is discarded and the engine and transmission are set on the ground. A cable is wound around one of the wheels, which is then attached to the down hole pump. The operator puts the engine in neutral to drop the pump into the hole, and then guns it in reverse to wind up the wheel and pump out the crude oil/water emulsion. The emulsion is filtered into crude oil by allowing it to flow down the hill, and is eventually heated to distill it into diesel fuel.
In Woncolo Indonesia, oil is pumped by a man seated on a former truck transmission. The body of the truck is discarded and the engine and transmission are set on the ground. A cable is wound around one of the wheels, which is then attached to the down hole pump.

Crude oil is extracted and distilled into diesel in Woncolo, near Bojonegoro, Indonesia. Here a motorcycle drives a couple jerry cans full of diesel to market.
Oil rains down on an oil pump operator, Woncolo Indonesia. This man uses a branch to control the down hole pump as it exits the ground. He pushes the pump tip away from the hole and allows the oil to wash down the hill. The pump operator then guides the pump back into the ground for another round.

Crude oil is heated to between 200 °C (392 °F) and 350 °C (662 °F). The useless compounds are boiled away, leaving the diesel fuel behind.

The intentionally ambiguous text (Addicts 4 oil /Addict of oil / Oil 4 Addicts, etc.) speaks to the ambivalent attitude North America has to the world oil crisis.
The biohazard symbol signifies the rare cancers and autoimmune diseases experienced by people living near the Alberta, Canada oil sands where the waterways are being polluted with toxic runoff. Animal habitats are also being destroyed.
