Personal note about moving out

My preference would be to continue living with Rajiv and Lee, if only we could have a peaceful existence together. Since that is not possible, I am committed to moving out and I will be moving out tomorrow. I really don't want to hear people's doubts about that, since I am fully committed and I don't need any doubts to be inserted into my mind.  I believe that I will be able to think better whenever I remove myself from all the stress. the only way we can have a prosperous future in my mind, would be if I am able to monetize some of my inventions. that will be my top priority other than my son Rajiv. 

An out of the box political idea for this moment

 An out of the box political idea for this moment Suppose that a Democrat and Republican agreed to run for office together. They would be on the Democratic primary ballot with the Democrat as the candidate, and they would be on the republican ballot with republican as the presidential candidate. Is the miraculous scenario In which both of themget elected in their primary process, the electorate would be able to decide which ones philosophy should lead well knowing that side the very nature of how they get elected, That this will hearken an age of cooperation. Whichever one Wins, the vice president would be the other one. There would be at least some Democrats and Republicans That might be interested in this scenario. And for sure this little stunt would gain nationwide attention.

Arctic Ocean flushing and its climate implications

Arctic Ocean flushing and its climate implications This is a quote from the reference listed below it: Today, the Beaufort Gyre holds as much freshwater as all of the Great Lakes combined, and its continuing clockwise swirl is preventing this enormous volume of ice and cold, fresh water from flushing into the North Atlantic Ocean. But, scientists say, the gyre will inevitably weaken and reverse direction, and when it does it could expel a massive amount of icy fresh water into the North Atlantic. Polar ocean https://e360.yale.edu/features/how-a-wayward-arctic-current-could-cool-the-climate-in-europe I have known about the effects of the 285 billion tons of freshwater melting from Greenland (because of the melting of the ice sheet) for about a decade, however I only recently heard about the Beaufort gyre, as indicated in the reference above. What is very very different about this phenomenon compared to the effect of the melting of Greenland is that it could happen in just a yea

Reaction wave polymerization

Reaction wave polymerization is a process that I first observed at the BFGoodrich research and development center when I worked there on high-performance epoxy adhesives for aircraft (I was a research technician). My boss Carl Weber (to my knowledge) was the first person to observe this process. Later on I decided to make it my dissertation topic In graduate school at the University of Akron. My work was fairly succinctly summarized in a published paper that I'm linking here. from 1985 in the Journal polymer process engineering . Reaction wave polymerization was the second idea that took me over for a number of years. The first idea was a modification of the ice maker heatpump. The ice maker heatpump idea got me into studying chemical engineering, where I gave papers three years in a row in the student AICHE meetings. I did finally give a paper at a scientific Conference on green technologies in construction in Tucson Arizona; at least I know that there is a paper preserved in a
