The Lothians are amid a blitz of seizures as police clamp down on illegal drivers, reported to be as much as 200 cars and motorbikes per month.

Any drivers who have been caught without valid insurance, tax or driving licence have had their vehicle seized since June 2006 under new powers they have been granted. This is enabling police to tackle some serious dangers on the road, preventing many accidents and incidents.

Almost as many as half the vehicles seized have ended up being scrapped by police. Once seized owners have to pay £105 removal fee, in addition to the £12 per day storage charge which stands if you want your car returned. They must also present valid tax, licence and car or bike insurance documents.

In the six months following the increased power for police to act against illegal drivers, police seized 400 vehicles. Officers now predict they are seizing an average of 200 cars per month and confiscating 3000.

Owners often fail to reclaim their vehicle which is why half are destroyed or sold on by police. The majority of seized vehicles were destroyed, and the few which are good enough to be sold on go towards storage costs for the impounded vehicles.

Motorist groups are supporting the heightened police powers as they believe accidents on the road are being dramatically cut. The six month blitz has also, according to senior officers, uncovered other criminal acts such as drug possession, police intelligence has also been heightened on many criminals.

Only 56% of drivers actually pay the fine which releases their vehicle, many of which are bought cheaply at auction. David Legge, a retired police inspector who now works as the force’s vehicle recovery liaison officer said: “This legislation is among the best tools in our toolbox.

“The whole ethos of the road policing branch is to prevent accidents. If a driver has the mindset where they don’t have a licence or pay insurance, they are more likely to be involved in an accident. They are also more likely to be involved in future criminal offences involving the vehicle.

“There is also a big annoyance factor for an innocent driver caught up in an accident with an uninsured driver. Taking those individuals off the roads is better for everyone. Although we are seizing a large number, the figures have so far shown so signs of abating.

“Nowadays, vehicles, particularly those bought at auction, are a cheap commodity and without paying insurance there are only petrol costs.”

Across the whole of Scotland, more than 1,000 vehicles are confiscated each other. As well as the new police power this is due to the new automatic number plate recognition technology available to police officers.

A large proportion of the drivers who have their cars seized for driving illegally in Scotland are immigrants from Eastern Europe. Many of these Eastern European immigrants are not aware that Scotland carried stricter driving regulations. Although some are deliberately looking to cut their cuts by cutting corners, using their lack of local legal knowledge as an excuse when they are caught.

Chief of AA, Neil Greig, supports the new stricter law. He said: “This is certainly good news. Uninsured and unlicensed drivers are a pain the neck to the majority of law-abiding motorists.

“It has also been shown that these illegal drivers are more likely to be involved in accidents so this makes the roads safer.”

My 4-year-old has had very swollen lymph nodes under her chin and a low grade (99-100) fever for over 2 months. During this time, she has also come down with several higher fevers (102, 105), strep, etc., but she never seems to get well. We have taken her to the doctor over 10 times in the last 2 months, but just feel like our concerns are not being addressed (our insurance only has one pediatrician that accepts it in Charlotte, NC). Does anyone have any ideas on what it could possibly be? Her white count was high last week (around 15) when her fever spiked to 105. She has also had 2 rounds of antibiotics. We are taking her back to the doctor tomorrow, and wanted to have some specific disease states/tests to suggest to the doctors. Thanks!

WINSTON

Helen Klus asked:


Over 100 years before Darwin published ‘The Origin of the Species’ there was huge controversy over how species should be defined. In 1749, Comte de Buffon, published the Histoire naturelle. where he criticised the most popular system of taxonomy of the time, particularly systems similar to those of Linnaeus, who had presented a global classification of nature in Systema naturae in 1735. This contained an arbitrary system of taxonomy with animals grouped by “broad and variable characteristics, such as their teeth, locomotion, type of blood, if any, and habitual home” (Koerner, 1996, pp147).

Buffon is particularly critical of Linnaeus because he claims that in “wishing to judge the whole by a single part” (Buffon, 1749, pp106) he is intentionally going against what Buffon would consider the most natural system. Linnaeus did not see his arbitrary system as a problem because he did not think that arbitrary and natural systems were mutually exclusive. Instead, Linnaeus believed that only when his artificial system was complete would “the regularities of nature’s diversity” (Ibid, pp 148) reveal themselves. 

Buffon does not consider that taxonomy this artificial could be instrumental in finding a natural system and so by ignoring nature Linnaeus is moving further and further from the truth. Buffon highlights the artificial nature of Linnaeus’s singular taxonomy with examples of classes containing plants as different as “the elm and the carrot” and “the rose and the strawberry” (Buffon, pp 105). Buffon suggests that instead, we should judge creatures based on their whole morphology not just singular parts. Individuals are of the same species only if they “resemble each other exactly, or if the differences between them are so small that they can only be perceived with difficulty” (Ibid, pp 106).

Buffon also believes that “in nature only individuals exist, while…classes only exist in our imagination”. Linnaeus’s system could therefore have “been more accurate and less arbitrary” (Ibid, pp 115) had it comprised of more divisions, as this would be more reflective of the unbroken continuum of individuals in nature. By the mid 1760s Buffon had begun to extend his taxonomy into genera and families contradicting his earlier statement that he would only recognize the categorization of species (Sloan, P. pp 357). To understand why this is coherent with his earlier claims I will now look at Sloan’s interpretation of Buffon’s argument.

Sloan’s interpretation, defending taxonomy as a science.

Sloan interprets Buffon’s attack on Linnaeus “primarily in terms of a broader philosophical issue raised…by Locke’s empiricist epistemology” (Sloan, 1976, pp.358). Locke’s epistemology could be used to argue that taxonomy should not be considered a science because the only true knowledge we can have is of our immediate ideas and sensations. Locke’s criticism therefore threatened the status of natural history as a science.

In order to defend natural history from Locke’s scepticism Buffon offers a new epistemology based on mathematical and physical truths. Mathematical truths are “only truths of definition…and have no reality” (Buffon, 1749, pp.23-24). These are to be contrasted with physical truths that have “a probability so great that it is equal to a certitude” (Ibid, pp.24). Physical truths are acquired by witnessing “a frequent repetition and uninterrupted succession of the same event” (Ibid, pp 24). Buffon’s criticism of Linnaeus is therefore that his system is not formed from physical truths, which are based on the best available empirical evidence. 

Buffon later argued for further separations in nature that he had not accepted in 1749 because he considered new empirical evidence. This evidence came from seeing how “we have altered, modified and changed the species of domestic animals” thereby creating “physical and real genera” (Ibid, pp.407) leading him to conclude that divisions could exist within species.

In order to understand why Buffon chose to defend his own natural history as a science and to distinguish it from all previous systems of taxonomy, in contrast to Linnaeus, who “proceeded with his systemization of nature as if Buffon had never existed,” (Sloan, 1976, pp.360) we now need to look at the difference in contexts between the two naturalists.

Buffon and the Histoire Naturelle.

I believe that the reasons Buffon chose to address Locke’s criticism of taxonomy are related to the status of natural history in 18th century France. Buffon wished to secure the status of natural history and to alter his own prospects by converting the Jardin du Roi from a royal medical garden into an establishment primarily involved in natural history. In order to do this Buffon needed to succeed in convincing an aristocratic society and his Royal patron.

During the 18th century, natural history was an activity predominantly performed by amateurs. Naturalists, including Buffon, were dependent upon both wealthy patrons to fund their research and on the interest of an aristocratic society, which was important in extending the patronage system. The interest of the elite also allowed naturalists to make money by “lecturing, curating, collecting and teaching” (Spary, 2000, pp.20), or from self publication.

It was not until the 1770s that professional chairs for naturalists begun to appear in France. This was around the same time the Jardin du Roi, which began as a small medical garden, was acknowledged as an establishment for natural history (Ibid, pp.16). This occurred after years of change brought on by Buffon who became the Keeper of the garden in 1739 and begun converting it into “the world’s foremost center for natural history” (Ibid, pp.15), expanding the garden and adding many new plants and trees as well as a maze.

Buffon’s success was helped by the monetary value that was placed upon objects of natural investigation, precious stones, skeletons and rare plants for example, were considerably difficult to attain. These became popular because “collections could demonstrate the owner’s power to move objects at a distance, to control the rare and unusual” (Ibid, pp.22). Buffon therefore wanted to offer the Jardin as “a policed setting in which royal glory could be displayed” (Ibid, pp.19), thereby appealing to the attraction that such displays would have for an aristocratic society.

Buffon continued this campaign with the publication of the Histoire Naturelle which should be understood partly as a devise to convince the King and aristocratic society that natural history was a science distinct from medicine. The particular argument that Buffon used to defend natural history, which I have outlined above, was a philosophical argument which played on the intuition that taxonomic natural history was not a distinct science. By addressing this problem Buffon could then distinguish his natural history as being the only theory based on physical truths and hence certain knowledge. The sheer quantity of work he then produced recategorizing nature made it necessary to own his work in order to possess a real scientific knowledge of species. 

The Histoire Naturelle was marketed specifically to the aristocracy through its expense. This meant that it was only the elite who could critically analysis his work and was reflected in the fact that “nobles and the clergy were heavily, sometimes predominantly, represented” at lectures held at the Jardin (Ibid, pp.24). Buffon attempted to convince the king to take natural history seriously by making his book an elegant display for modern knowledge. Full of illustrations on “engraved and sometimes hand painted plates” (Ibid, pp.25) and with a largely descriptive content it reflected the nature of the Jardin as a demonstration of royal power.

The fact that Buffon’s natural history was adopted as the natural history of the elite insured its success. This is evident in the fact that the Histoire Naturelle was “adjudged a literary masterpiece” (Ibid, pp 17) and several new royal posts arose for naturalists (Spary, 2000, pp.16 and Brockliss, 1997). Buffon was elected to the French Academy in 1753 (Spary, 2000, pp.28) and his success was insured until the French Revolution in 1789 (Ibid, pp.18).

Linnaeus’ taxonomy.

Carl Linnaeus came from an entirely different background to Buffon, he was not personally motivated to defend natural history as a science because he was trained as a medical doctor and showed little interest in the exact sciences. He was also not motivated to do so in order to succeed because Linnaeus aimed his taxonomy at a different audience to Buffon and was successful because of the practicality of his taxonomy.

Linnaeus did not live within the same aristocratic culture that Buffon did, growing up in a “sleepy little town” (Koerner, 1996, pp.146) in south Sweden he was mostly self taught, “read no modern language, and lacked both general culture and the ‘new science’” (Ibid, pp.145). Even after becoming a highly successful author and gaining lucrative success as a governmental advisor on “voyages, collection, and colonial economies” (Ibid, pp.152), Linnaeus never displayed an interest in the exact sciences or modern technologies. He believed that science should be viewed more as a reflection of the harmony of nature and this was demonstrated in how he decorated his home. Linnaeus created an emporium where “art and organic nature, parrots and squirrels, and even a young orangutan, played among potted plants, insect specimens, mineral samples, scientific instruments, and herbarium sheets” (Ibid, pp.153).

Linnaeus’s career was also never dependant upon separating the two disciplines of natural history and medicine, as Buffon’s was. After receiving a degree in medicine Linnaeus began working in the Uppsala botanic garden, where by 1741 he had gained a chair at the university in the Faculty of Medicine. It was here in 1731 that he begun to develop and publish catalogues based on his own taxonomy. Linnaeus was not dependant on an aristocratic audience and aimed his catalogues at “both learned and lay people” (Ibid, pp.148). These catalogues “spelled out botanical practices to the novice…teaching the reader how to set up a herbarium, organize and excursion, plant a garden, and even embark on a voyage of discovery” (Ibid, pp.148). Linnaeus’ books were “brief enough to be read with ease and small enough to carry into the field” and his taxonomy was based only upon “a few, easily observable features” (Ibid, pp.147-148).

Linnaeus also wrote in a plain style, “opposed to all things courtly and French” (Ibid, pp.155).  His early taxonomies were comprised of diagnostic phrase names, however they were soon recognized to be impractical, this was because with every new species added all of its congeners needed to be renamed which sometimes resulted in renaming entire kingdoms. By the 1740s Linnaeus and his students begun to make up their own abbreviations, “experimenting with communal, and more practical, ways of referring to individual species” (Ibid, pp.150). In 1751, Linnaeus begun to use binomial names representing the genus and species. These were inspired by “Renaissance herbals”, “folk names” and “bibliographical references” (Ibid, pp.150). Linnaeus’s taxonomy encapsulated Aristotelian Physics and Christian theology (Ibid, pp.149), it made botany possible for the lay man and was incredibly successful because of its practicality and its ease of use. The popularity of Linnaeus’s taxonomy was reflected in the numerous botanical dictionaries that were published based on his terms and the fact that “even species monographs and children’s books…used a Linnaean vocabulary” (Ibid, pp 154).

 The different contexts in which Buffon and Linnaeus worked led them to make vastly different claims about nature. The practical success of Linnaeus’s taxonomy and that fact that his views were dominant again in Paris after the revolution, (Sloan, 1976, pp. 357) has often lead people to claim that Buffon’s attacks were misconceived - the fact that he did not recognize the usefulness of Linnaeus’s system showed just out of touch he really was. However, when we look at Buffon’s work from the perspective of someone wishing to defend natural history as a science through philosophical arguments, these issues become far less important. The usefulness of Linnaeus’s system is of no consequence to Buffon because by his definition this cannot constitute knowledge.

BREAKING ALL THE RULES!  Exclusive World Class Investments to Stabilize Your Portfolio and To Help Double Your Net Worth!!

Cabal Capital Management, LLC announces the launch of the Special Opportunity Fund which provides alternative investment opportunities into extremely low risk, very high financial return Advanced High Income Generation Projects through direct investments.

Our fund is unlike all others that exist today by offering investments that are focused on both strategic and tactical investment opportunities into Highly Advanced Income Generating Project(s) producing vital, very high demand product(s) that are being sold directly into the largest “Major” Universal Demand Markets in the world.  These investments allow risk adverse accredited investors the ability to participate in the revenues generated from these projects which allows for and achieves capital growth while providing the investor a low risk opportunity with the benefit of dependable and sustainable alpha generation and the long term growth from these projects.  These fully integrated projects have been designed to last 40 to 50 years or longer for their life cycles regardless of the global financial and credit markets.

Our fund is well positioned to effectively tap into these markets to the benefits of our investors.  The growth dynamics of the United States and Western Europe is based upon local, regional and domestic consumption of all the products these projects produce.  This fund is targeting routine and consistent annual double digit returns (15 – 21%) to investors un-correlated to all securities, commodities, currencies and the credit markets themselves since there will not be any exposure to these markets.  All project investments within this special investment vehicle have been specifically developed and designed to perform across various business cycles regardless of global economic conditions.

The current global credit crisis, current stock market contractions and wild swings in the commodities markets does not and will not impact our ability to produce consistent annual double digit returns now or in the future for our investors since we will never have, need or rely on the credit markets to establish margin accounts or leveraged positions which most all hedge fund type investment vehicles require to operate.  We do not require nor will we ever utilize prime services which the large investment banks provide (Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch, etc.). We do not rely on the stock, commodity or currency exchanges to generate income since we can not control any of the events occurring in those exchanges for our investors, thus we are totally un-correlated to all securities, commodities, currencies and credit markets. 

In the case of Deflationary and or Inflationary Markets, they will have no real effect on these projects and the products they produce.  Coincidentally inflation will only increase the value of the products coming out of the projects, and deflationary markets will have very minimal impact as well since the products produced will always be in very high demand through out the world. 

Risk issues are always addressed through risk management and the review procedures for each and every investment made.  Unlike most projects which have been developed, planned and master planned, every assumption for each project has been tested, validated, verified and proven or it’s not incorporated into these project(s).  Each and every project is also backed up by a detailed Input / Output Financial Cash Model which is a detailed Program / Project Financial Blueprint that shows the quarterly inter-relationships of investments, operational production revenues, operational expenses at all levels, taxes, imposts and fees, special circumstances events, and financial obligations during the life of the Program / Project.

Since energy production and consumption is the key element to any industrialized country, and with energy consumption increasing globally at an annual rate of 5 – 6 %, energy is and always will be vital to both the U.S. and Western European Economies. Allocating to Energy and Bio-Fuels production are two major key areas of involvement and investments within our seven pronged program investment strategies approach, which consists of the following options available to us:  Energy:  Oil & Gas (Example Project to follow), Bio Fuels:  Algae Based Bio-Diesel and Jatropha Curcas {plant} direct fuel source.  Algae Based Bio-Diesel is a direct fuel source currently available and ready for full scale production and delivery {This is not a blend for gasoline!} Algae Based Bio-Diesel Fuel production utilizes proprietary photo enhanced, micro nutrient enhanced, continuous flow, automated, sensor quality controlled, bio-chemical industrial processes and then are pressed, centrifuged, oils separated from water, water treated, cooked, cracked and treated all within a 12 hour cycle (Start to Finish) to complete one batch made ready for use in any diesel engine.  Initially 270 Million Gallons per quarter to several Billion Gallons of bio-diesel per quarter will be produced depending upon the initial size of a project program.  This Algae Based Bio-Diesel Fuel source has a Cetane Rating of 105 -117 compared to 80 – 85 Cetane Rating for #1 diesel fuel currently produced by all the major oil companies, which provides more power, better millage and performance while emitting 60 – 70% less emissions across the board vs. normal standard crude oil based diesel fuels. Algae Based Bio-Diesel emits no sulfur and or nitrogen into the atmosphere, Alternative Energy:  Solar / Concentrated Solar Thermal Power Production, Wind and Electric Fuel Cell Systems, Natural Resources:  Gold, Platinum, Other Precious Metals Groups and Diamond Mining: Refining, Assaying, Separation using advanced physical technologies and Bullion production of Gold and Platinum as well as Processing, Cutting, Valuation Appraisals of Diamonds and other Precious Stones, Water:  Proprietary Water Science / Technology to Produce Fresh Drinking Water to meet Agricultural, Industrial and Human Public Health needs in critically water short areas through Water production, bottling facilities and distribution.  This can be accomplished with any available water supply {in ground water tables, above and below ground reservoirs with a high saline content normally not recommended for human consumption}, Sea Waters & Brackish Waters anywhere Globally, Hydroponics:  Food Production: Fish Shrimp, Prawns, Fruits Vegetables utilizing USDA inspectors to garner Grade A Choice Status to include direct marketing into Major U.S.A. and International Consumer Demand Markets, and Special Opportunities: Aviation Fuels: JP-1 to JP-12 for Commercial and Military Applications from Algae Based Direct Fuel Sources as well as Advanced Hyper-Speed Information Technologies and other Advanced High Income Generation Project Opportunities as they become available.

It should be noted that traditional large project investments consist normally of only one income generation production element and typically requires three years at the earliest before the investors see any type of modest return on their investment.  Our projects produce immediate results in the first year.  These Exclusive World Class Projects which are available to us for investments have no less than 2, but normally include 5 or more Major Integrated Income Production Elements within each project.  It should also be noted that each income producing element within these projects are so strong that they could stand on their own and support the entire project, which is why many of these elements are developed together to form an Advanced Integrated Income Generation Project depending upon the requirements and location of the program.

All of the projects that this special opportunity fund invests in involve Proprietary Advanced Technologies and Advanced Physical Science / Processes (not known to the great majority of Asset Manager Companies Staffs).   Other types of investment pool managers, hedge funds, etc. do not know or even have access to these world class development engineering people and the technologies assets and projects that they develop, implement and manage.  Currently we have in excess of $10 Billion Dollars worth of Advanced High Income Generation Projects available to us for investments.

Another Special Note of consideration is that each investment will bring with it potential tax advantages not typically found in other types of investments.  Depending on where the project(s) are located and how the project are legally structured and set up (Development Corporations, Development Authority, etc.) could result in tremendous tax advantages, which each investors tax advisor will need to qualify and determine the best approach for each investors own tax liabilities depending upon their current tax status, situation and strategies.

These projects are conducted by Highly Reliable, Senior Internationally Experienced Technical Managers, Senior Science Managers and Senior Logistics / Project Security Management Staffs, which have planned, developed, evaluated and trouble-shot economic development projects and strong income generation projects in over 65 countries during the past 40 years.

There are in excess of 300 Top Level Executive Technical Managers with over 30 years of Experience in each of their perspective Development Sectors available for all projects that our fund invests in.  These projects are designed to insure extreme depth of expertise and experience management which is available to any project at any and every stage of the project program, regardless of location of the project anywhere globally.

** Fully Integrated Oil & Gas / Real Example Project:

This Oil & Gas production program is headed up by a Top Level Senior International Consultant which is an Oil and Gas Industry Executive who has been involved in the Oil & Gas Industry over the past 50 years.  This Oil & Gas Executive is the Systems Developer, Scientist, Equipment Designer and Engineer who is recognized as an expert in his field by the U.S. Department of Energy who also has called him upon him frequently in the past to trouble shoot particular Oil and Gas fields as a technical advisor and as a trouble shooter to rectify any and all problems associated with troubled oil and gas production fields.

This Top Senior International Consultant has a proprietary and proven 12 step methodology for siting, drilling, completing and production techniques for all wells.  He has a historical commercial success rate of 92% for bringing in all of his wells sited, drilled, completed and producing which also has a normal life span of 15 to 20 plus year’s worth of production.

This Advanced High Income Generation Oil and Gas project is comprised of the following: 

A Top Down Electric Air Hammer System which is highly sensorized with Professional Engineers and Scientists managing all operational positions.  These auto sensor rigs provide detailed information by satellite to a centralized operations and training center where all decisions are made by people with 45 – 50 years of successful completion and production experience.

Each oil and gas well completed will be drilled in both soft and hard rock beds and will vary in depths from 3,000 feet to over 13,000 feet.  All wells in this program will be completed initially in the state of Texas, in the United States of America.

Typical production wells will produce 60 barrels of oil per day to 500 – 600 barrels of oil per day and the gas wells will produce in a typical range of 2 million cubic feet of natural gas per day to in excess of 20 million cubic feet of natural gas per day. The total net operating investment will be returned within 4 months of production for each well.

Multiple producing formations will be completed and isolated with proprietary tools and instruments which will be operated simultaneously through out the life of the wells.  The typical life of these well are 15 – 20 years because of the 12 different proprietary methods used for siting, drilling, completion and production techniques, tools, proprietary materials and instruments used on each and every well which prevents formation damage and increases the life cycle of each well to maximize the highest production obtainable.

This program consists of hundreds of oil and gas wells sited, drilled, completed and in production within a 1 – 2 year period.  These wells will be sited, drilled and completed in historically very well known and documented oil and gas producing formations within the state of Texas, in the United States of America.

Investors will receive an estimated 15 – 21% annual return per year on their investment, with payments coming at the end of each year from this program.  The threshold investment will be an aggregate amount of $400 hundred million dollars which is what the minimum program investment calls for.

Estimated program revenues are based on $60 dollars a barrel and $6.5 dollars per thousand cubic foot of natural gas.  Over the last year crude oil (West Texas Intermediate) has sold as low as $50 dollars a barrel up to as much as $147 dollars a barrel.  Over the past year natural gas has sold from $5.5 dollars a thousand cubic foot to $11.3 dollars per thousand cubic foot.

Example Oil & Gas Well Profile:  One well; properly sited, drilled, completed and producing will conservatively produce 100 barrels of oil per day and 4 million cubic foot of natural gas per day.  This provides the overall program (100 barrels x $60 per barrel = $6,000) $6,000 dollars per day of revenue.  Each 4,000 cubic foot of natural gas (4,000 x $6.5 per thousand cubic foot = $26,000) $26,000 dollars per day of revenue.  Total revenue for this example is estimated at $32,000 dollars per day of program revenue for this example. 

** All wells in this program will not produce the same **

Each month this represents a program return of (30 days x $32,000 = $960,000) $960,000 dollars of revenue coming from this one (1) example well.  The investment program we are offering involve several hundreds of program wells being sited, drilled, completed and operating within a 1 to 2 year period.

Remember, this is only two elements of a fully integrated Advanced High Income Generation Project which will involve in most cases several other elements to generate very substantial amounts of revenues over the course of the project life.  With the combination of several other Advanced High Income Generation Elements within one project, this will enhance the financial returns and revenues of the program itself, and thus will also greatly reduce any associated risk due to the diversification of the different Major Income Generation elements within each project.

Once again, the result of this Special Investment Vehicle fund are highly advantageous investment opportunities that by far exceed the majority of investment opportunities from a financial return and an extremely low risk standpoint by investing in Outstanding Advanced High Income Generation Projects.
