mp Decline in US Oil & Gas Jobs Amid Record Production By oilfiredup.com Published On :: Mon, 12 Aug 2024 12:43:42 +0000 The US oil and gas industry is experiencing a paradoxical trend: record-breaking production levels coupled with a significant decline in employment. Despite the United States achieving unprecedented oil and gas output, the number of jobs in the sector has been steadily decreasing. This decline is not driven by climate policies or the rise of clean energy but rather by the industry’s relentless push for efficiency and the cyclical nature of the market. According to recent data, oil production in the US has increased by 5% since 2019, reaching an average of 13.4 million barrels per day. However, employment in the oilfield sector has dropped nearly 20% from pre-pandemic levels. The oil and gas extraction industry employed approximately 112,000 people in 2022, a significant decrease from previous years. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated this trend, leading to a loss of nearly 200,000 jobs in the sector, a 20% reduction in the total workforce. Although there are signs of recovery, with projections suggesting a rebound in employment levels by 2027, the current job market remains challenging for many workers. The industry’s focus on efficiency means that fewer workers are needed to produce more oil. This shift has resulted in job losses across various... Full Article Industry News
mp NNPC’s $6bn Debt Admission: Impact on Nigeria’s Oil Industry By oilfiredup.com Published On :: Thu, 19 Sep 2024 10:20:37 +0000 The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), a state-owned entity, recently acknowledged its substantial debt of $6 billion to petrol suppliers. This admission, made in early September 2024, marks a significant development in the Nigerian oil industry, which has been grappling with various challenges. The debt revelation came after months of speculation and denials. The NNPC’s financial strain has been attributed to the gap between fixed pump prices and international fuel costs, exacerbated by the removal of fuel subsidies in 2023. This policy change led to a sharp increase in petrol prices, with motorists now paying over 45% more per litre. The financial burden has had a ripple effect on the NNPC’s operations and the broader oil industry. Suppliers have reduced the volume of petrol provided to the NNPC, resulting in a six-week-long petrol scarcity across Nigeria. This scarcity has caused significant disruptions in daily life and economic activities, highlighting the critical role of the NNPC in ensuring national energy security. Despite these challenges, the NNPC reported record crude oil sales of N14 trillion ($8.6 billion) in 2023, a substantial increase from the previous year. However, the company’s ambitious target of achieving two million barrels per day of crude oil production... Full Article Industry News

mp Trump's Draft Evader Precipice By hucksrealm.blogspot.com Published On :: Mon, 08 Aug 2016 19:22:00 +0000 The United States is hovering at a precarious point in our history. The choice is to either go forward with moral clarity or succumb to our violent past with symptoms of racism, xenophobia, nativism, sexism, misogyny, ageism, anti-Veterans, anti-American values and more. Unfortunately, the party of Lincoln is wracked with dangerous splits with the only common factors being racism, sexism, equivocations and presidential obstruction. Party vision extends only to the present and disregards past lessons to integrate with the future. The most important factors seem to be hindering the President, haranguing Hillary Clinton and uttering senseless statements. Presumptive presidential candidate Donald John Trump spouts a litany of offensive equivocations, governmental and global ignorance, and flirtation with right wing racism and anti-Semitism. His attacks on people of color, Judaism, women and Muslims seem to evolve from the same extremist philosophy; and a misguided plan to generate support from a base believing the same. Trump’s early life shows incorrigibility with parental sentence of military school beginning at age twelve. The next six years were spent with a heavy program of military ethics, duty and honor. He seems to have rebelled against these and has displayed questionable patriotism, respect for the fallen and ignorance of American values. Reaching the age of eighteen meant Selective Service registration and Trump was no exception. Following indicates his draft history: 2-S school exemption 7/28/64 2-S school exemption 12/14/65 1-A induction eligible 11/22/66 2-S school exemption 12/13/66 2-S school exemption 1/16/68 1-A induction eligible 7/9/68 1-Y not eligible 10/15/68 Trump passed his military physical examination on 12/15/66 with no indication of any disqualifying conditions. He received two successive exemptions for college, but faced a Fortunate Son dilemma due to the Vietnam War heating up. Trump was briefly eligible for entry beginning on 11/22/66, but was able to achieve more 2-S deferments until July, 1968. He now faced the realistic expectation of military service since there were no more college exemptions to be had. The Vietnam War was at its apex following the Tet Offensive in late January, 1968, and troop strength was over 500,000. Trump underwent another service physical on 9/17/68 presenting a private physician letter attesting to a diagnosis of bone heel spurs. Young Trump was given an exemption of 1-Y, not eligible for induction except in time of national emergency or declared war. This seems odd since the young man participated in athletics at the military academy and secondly, the US was in dire need of more military manpower to fight the war. Subsequently, many young men were inducted into with minor medical or psychological issues to fill the rolls. Bone heel spurs were not necessarily disqualifying since men were being accepted with flat feet, a more debilitating condition. The only other factor to take into consideration is relatively simple-he was the son of a millionaire thus in today’s parlance, affluenza. Trump later bragged his condition was not painful and temporary thus negating the 1-Y rating given and proving his Fortunate Son status. He also stated his personal Vietnam was partying and bedding beautiful women with a developing fear of venereal disease. Donnie has refused to discuss the draft subject during the campaign rebuffing all questions. One can only ponder the fate of those who took his place in the draft. Full Article
mp A Letter To Donnie Trump By hucksrealm.blogspot.com Published On :: Mon, 24 Jun 2019 02:56:00 +0000 Dear Donnie, Admittedly, I am an independent opposed to your presidency for a very simple reason-you lack character, integrity, empathy, compassion and knowledge to be president of this already great nation. My own background emanates from an Iowa farm which taught me responsibility at an early age. Our lives were dependent on the soil, cream from milk our cows produced and forage to feed them. I, along with others, was instilled with community spirit, respect for elders and others, truthfulness, a hard work ethic and enduring farm life hardships. You, on the other hand, were a Fortunate Son given much of what money could buy except a basic connection to humanity, socialization, and knowledge. Predator capitalism lessons forged by your father were learned at an early age and you rebelled to the point of being cast way to a military academy for being incorrigible by your parents. It's not too difficult to assume the absence of family and love during those years coupled with hostility fomented a desire to deter military tenets of honor, duty, accountability and dedication to nation. Your brashness, self-centeredness, fear of germs, malignant narcissism, pathological equivocation and overall spite towards the poor, people of color, business partners, Veterans, women and many others are easily understood. After all, it is always someone else's fault and not yours. You had no desire to be subjected to the Selective Service military draft receiving five exemptions with the last medically disqualifying you for heel bone spurs. Ironically, you participated in athletics at the military academy for many years and successfully passed your Selective Service physical on December 15, 1966. Four 2-S school deferments, 2 1-A meaning eligibility for induction and finally 1-Y, not eligible for service unless a state of emergency or war is declared. Looking this over brings a simple question of why you weren't drafted after receiving a 1-A ruling on July 7, 1968 and holding it for three months. 1968 was the height of the Vietnam War and draftees and enlistees were being accepted regardless except for the most afflicted. Of course, you immediately showed up for another physical on September 9, 1968, with a paid M.D. letter attesting to your heel bone spurs with a bit of affluenza thrown in undoubtedly. Now the truth came out of a deal your father made with a podiatrist, whom happened to rent from him, for a bone spur letter. If your name had been Smith, Washington or Gonzales, you would been on a flight to basic training, but not Trump. Still, it doesn't answer the question of why you weren't inducted during the three months of 1-A eligibility. You had already decided the military was not for you probably due to your castaway military academy days, absent parents, a lot of cowardice due to Vietnam fear, being a germaphobe, no desire to be around minorities and perhaps a little of Leona Helmsley attitude whereas laws are meant for the little people. The Donald stated repeatedly in interviews in the past these bone spurs were TEMPORARY and NOT PAINFUL. You cloud the issue with misstatements and historical ignorance of your own draft history. You resort to the old "look up my records" reply to any draft queries or ignore altogether. The real reasons, in my opinion, were twofold. First, you were afraid of the real military, being treated like everyone else and possible Vietnam service. This type of fear carries to the present day indicative by your anger over criticisms, immediate shoot from the hip caustic responses, bullying, and proclivity towards tough-guy statements exhorting others to attack those who protest against you or are the wrong ethnicity or religion. All of this while you are safely protected by security while never admitting the exclusion of minorities or violence was wrong. Secondly, Donald, you are simply not a team player. Fortunate Son upbringing and being rejected by your parents in favor of a military academy transformed you into a loner needing constant reinforcement of status, admiration, and self-worth. You never developed adequate social skills relying instead on names on glimmering towers, manufactured adoring fans, accouterments of wealth, constant media appearances, etc., which attest to your singular narcissistic status. This malignant narcissism precludes any team concept and subsequently being deemed a leader. Your inner fear culminates in disparaging the handicapped, denying health insurance to your own niece, abject coldness, lack of empathy and much more. The campaign trail has shown you to utter caustic speech, insecurity, self-absorption, bullying, racism, misogyny, sexism, etc., which are not signs of a leader, but a plea for help. Your incessant desire to be deemed a "tough guy" is not accorded a great deal of credibility since you're not. Donnie, you surround yourself with convicted felons, extremists and other miscreants which denies rather than create a tough aura. Rather, it gives an image of someone who doesn't respect authority or the laws behind it-perhaps another adolescent creation. Your childlike protest of "I didn't know" or the "evil media" after staff or delegate less than saintly status is revealed only heightens this disregard and contradicts your self-proclaimed "smart guy" declaration. Here are a few just to remind you: a. Joseph Weichselbaum, personal helicopter pilot. Twice convicted felon for drug distribution, tax evasion, grand theft auto and embezzlement.You wrote a letter to the court in November, 1987, prior to drug trafficking and tax evasion sentencing vouching for him being "conscientious, forthright and diligent...a credit to the community." b. John Staluppi-friend and Colombo crime family member. You worked closely with him to create the Donald Trump Signature Series Cadillac debuted in 1988. c. Katrina Pierson, national spokesperson-convicted of shoplifting in 1997 and accepted state unemployment insurance benefits, $11,000 (11 months worth) in 2012 while working on the Ted Cruz campaign. Texas law requires a recipient to be looking for full time paid employment, but Pierson apparently discarded that. She was working for Cruz, traveling the nation shilling the "evil" UN Agenda 21 theory and simultaneously planning a political career running against Rep. Pete Sessions. Obvious questions are was she paid by the Cruz campaign for this and where did the traveling money come from? Oh, she lost the election by 70%. She is notorious for time traveling, that is, blaming Obama for the 2004 death of Capt. Khan, son of a Gold Star Family who you, Donnie, disparaged for being Muslim. You didn't rebuke her for making this statement, Katrina is still employed somewhat and you are being blamed. d. Mike and Irene Millin, joined with Trump for the Trump Institute which Trump University was umbrella organization and other "educational oferings." Milins had a troubled past with their National Grants Conference which was investigated by thirty-two state attorney-general for fraud, scamming and deceptive business practices. The television program Life Styles of the Rich and Famous sued both for failure to fulfill contractual requirements. Their National Grants Conference finally went bankrupt in 2006 owing $2.1 million to creditors following intense attorney-generals' pressure. This didn't bother Trump vetting as he deemed them an asset to his Institute and according to a 2006 report, the National Grants Conference and Trump Institute shared at least three of the same owners and a joint Boca Raton, Florida, address. e. Trump and the Millins together focused on Trump University, but the endeavor was receiving criticism for not being an accredited university or college. Trump directed a name change to Trump Entrepreneur Initiative following these claims, but actions were too little, too late. The Initiative closed down in 2006, but faced continuing legal scrutiny by the New York Attorney General who began an intensive investigation in 2011 for false claims and illegal business practices. This eventually led into a major 2013 class action lawsuit settled later for $25 million. However, a small group of litigants didn't accept the meager settlement and are pursuing further court action. f. Felix Sater-convicted felon with alleged organized crime connection worked closely with Trump on several deals. He had been convicted of money laundering in 1990s; later went to prison for plunging wine glass stem into a commodity broker's face; and avoided prison a second time for massive $40 million stock fraud and swindle, but was charged as an unindicted co-conspirator in 2000. and later found guilty of stock fraud in 2009. Trump partnered with the Sater Bayrock Group, a small development firm, with headquarters in Trump Tower in 2005. He worked with Donald/Ivanka on the legally troubled Soho project; Trump International Hotel and Tower, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, which failed with $100,000 in customer deposits lost; the canceled Trump Las Olas, Florida, project; and unsuccessful ventures in Colorado and Arizona. Sater now is a person of considerable interest to the Mueller investigation. g. Your Cabinet-new scandals seem to pop up daily. Misuse of government funds, travel, policy revisions detrimental to the public, etc., all seem to indicate your lack of concern, inability to supervise or a reflection of yourself. There are many more examples one could cite, but the most tragic is your inhumane action towards Puerto Rico and separating children from families along the border. You refused to renew the Jones Act waiver to allow all ships to offload needed supplies to the island. The Jones Act prohibits foreign ships from docking unless waived and you simply created a more disastrous situation sing to renew the waiver. Your excuse of aid damaging your budget was abominable and indicative of a challenged mind. Again, you lack human compassion, empathy and heartlessness only exacerbated an already tragic situation resulting in 4666 deaths to date. Obviously, there is a racist tint here exhibited in your campaign and presidency, but now even against US citizens in Puerto Rico. I won't dwell on the child separation issue except to mention your own failure as a parent is at center-your children and son-in-law under criminal investigation. All reflecting your belief to be above the law and skirt, if not break, when necessary. The outrage wave must have stunned you and condemnations for seeking funds for your border wall to free children was sickening. It was Trump policy created months ago, not law, though you attempted to blame Democrats for the action. Again, vacating any notion of taking responsibility for your actions. Painting children as MS-13 members was reminiscent of earlier racist comments made during the campaign. Well, Donnie, you are in a fix!! My recommendation is to resign and take Pence with you since he is religiously obsessed. Both of you need psychiatric treatment and a long trip to Moscow for future residence! Full Article

mp Body Pump 62 Lunges: To Bench, or Not To Bench? By tamiandcraig.blogspot.com Published On :: Mon, 23 Jul 2007 23:12:00 -0400 As we pointed out in our review of this latest release, the floor's clearly the best place for the bar to rest during Body Pump 62's killer lunge track. After all, the amount of weight a bar adds to the lunge workout is relatively small in comparison to a person's total body weight - it's actually the extra work involved with maintaining your balance and form that really ups the ante when you lay that bar across your shoulders. Do the math - you're probably adding maybe 5-10% more weight, at most.But what about the bench? After giving this track a fair run for the money in our classes, there's little doubt in our minds that it's pretty doggone easy to underestimate the effect this has on the workout. Get out your measuring tape and likely to find the average bench probably sits a good 1/3 the height of whatever vertical distance the typical lunge covers. And if that figure's even remotely accurate, consider this: You'd have to extend the usual 4:45 lunge track to well over six minutes long just to get the same workout! Yeah, the bench takes it to a whole new level.So here's what we tell our classes: Leave the bar on the floor for the 62 lunge track. And, if you're new at this stuff (we define "new" as anything less than a month, at three times a week) then you're probably best served by setting the bench aside as well. There's no shame in perfecting your form before graduating to the tougher workout regimens. But for the regulars who've got that form nailed - complete with right angles in both knees on the downstroke - adding a bench to the mix is just what the doctor ordered. Grab your weapon, folks - it's lunge time... Full Article
mp Body Pump 64 Review By tamiandcraig.blogspot.com Published On :: Wed, 5 Dec 2007 22:46:00 -0500 Coming hot on the heels of a release that earned not just one, not even two - in fact, three coveted spots on our all-time favorites playlist, Pump 64's got some huge shoes to fill. Does it come off like a kick in the pants, or a soft pat on the bottom? Let's find out:Warm Up - At first we got excited - maybe this time, just maybe it wouldn't be another love song. Nothing doing. Yeah it's got a little beat, but you could trade this track with any of the last twenty-some-odd others - they all sound pretty much the same. Excepting Pump 54's Rise by Safri Duo, you have to rewind clear back to the 30's to get some solid variety.Squats - Instructors, you better bring your A-game to this one - Wait for the music to clue your transitions and you're sunk... you gotta count this one out. Two short breaks punctuate a looong 5:43 workout that ensures the class gets their money's worth. Caution: Anytime you mess with a classic rock anthem like More Than A Feeling, people either love it or hate it. No need to solicit opinions after the music fades away - just stretch and move on...Chest - Is it Blondie? Believe it or not, it's Freestylers - the same guys from 63's Fast Life in-your-face shoulder track. Talk about variety. And don't be fooled by the mid-track music fadeout - That's just your cue to start working from the bottom in a routine that's got more transitions than an Orson Welles thriller. Back & Hamstrings - Here's a little tweak of the classic formula: fewer, but longer, clean & press sequences - two sets of six, to be exact. At 5:33 it's also one of the longer back tracks (which leaves plenty of time for dead rows and dead lifts plus a couple of breaks to boot).Triceps - Anytime INXS shows up on a track there's cause for concern - especially when it's a tricep track that starts off with four sets of dips off the bench. With rounds of overhead extensions, bar extensions, and tricep presses there's something for everyone here. Just make sure you keep those elbows locked in!Biceps - It's all good, with a solid beat and a workout you can sink your teeth into. Which leaves us with just one unanswered question -- how long till the "funky white girl" breakout shows up on YouTube?Lunges - After three painful lunge track releases, it's sorta nice to to take a breather. But don't get comfortable: two rounds of forward/backward-stepping lunges take up the slack on a lunge workout that gets the job done even without the bench.Shoulders - Dior, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, and YSL - it's like a fashion brand names education and shoulder workout all rolled into one! Lyrics aside, you could swap this track with BP 63 and we bet hardly anyone would notice. Thankfully the choreo's all different, else the class might think we're playing shenanigans with the music...Abs - Ah yes, there's one in every release: the track that has us fighting like two thirteen-year-olds over a Hannah Montana ticket. This time it's a little blast from the past from one hit wonder Ini Kamoze, and it was Tami that got to the mailbox first this time (so she gets dibs). Small consolation: She's gotta stop dancing long enough to learn the choreo.Cool Down Stretch - Note to instructors - If your class is running late, this is the cooldown you wanna have handy: At only 4:08, it's the shortest in the arsenal (narrowly snatching that honor from 63's All-American Rejects tune). Sadly, the abbreviated timeline leaves no room for much in the way of arm stretches, so use it sparingly.Well you've made it this far, so we won't waste another moment of your time - yep, it's our famous bottom line:Music - One thing we harp on more than any other is musical variety, and 64 definitely brings the goods. Little bit techno, little bit rap, some rock, and a bit of 80's throwback - what's not to like? (yeah, we know - the Boston remake) But still, it's got enough variety to make up for its minor shortcomings, and that deserves at least an A-. Postnote: Pity we never wrote a review on 63's music, that would've earned a rock solid A. Workout Routine - Anytime you see the words "old school" or "back to basics" mentioned in the first sentence of a release's Sizzler, that's a codephrase for "nothing new" - and that's exactly what we have here. Hey, don't get the wrong idea - it's a solid workout, and there's some twisty choreo to learn, but this is all stuff we've seen before. And that's why we've got to give it a C.Instructor Video - Evidently LMI intends for instructors to do more than learn the choreo - Instead of going straight to the masterclass, the video launches with a Susan Tolj / Glen Ostargaard intro that urges viewers to interact with the DVD. An extended intro precedes the warmup track, and a TIPS hyperlink icon appears periodically throughout the class. The tips are perfectly placed - unfortunately they're about 10-20 seconds too long, but that's a minor nit. A fresh new LMI logo adorns the packaging and appears throughout the video. Three masterclass instructors make the stage look a bit bare, however. So we'll keep tag this one with a B, especially since we're just a little nostalgic for the "glitz" and nifty camerawork from recent past videos. So there you have it, our long-awaited return to BodyPump release reviews. Did our comments have you nodding your head in agreement, or make you see red?

mp Body Pump 69 Tracklist By tamiandcraig.blogspot.com Published On :: Mon, 26 Jan 2009 20:53:00 -0500 Fellow blogger Glen Stollery has posted the Body Pump 69 Tracklist... Our quick thoughts: Kid Rock and Rihanna join Fall Out Boy on a release that has more "top 40" tracks and artists than most of late... Good to have 3 Doors Down serving up a quick encore to their BP 68 Chest Track thriller, while Pink's becoming almost as regular on BP releases as E-Type once was on the shoulder tracks. Pop Quiz: Who remembers the last release on which "Castles In The Sky" made an appearance? (bonus: Which workout track was it?) Full Article
