A parallel-sided structure made of conventional brick and stone cannot reach past 2000 meters as bricks at the bottom would be crushed under the weight.

Assume all humans are needy attention hungry creatures. Never ignore the opportunity to pay anyone some little respect or sign of acknowledgment. Give confirmation to every little joke or act of emotion.

Always assume confidence when dealing with someone. Act with purpose or people will see you as a waste of their time. Always give people a reason to be dealing with them and they will follow their own protocol.

Seek constant confirmation from others that what you do or say is alright. Give every opportunity to hear their opinion and listen.

Constantly be open what someone is leading the conversation to and what they likely want to hear.
Never assert dominance or show any sense of power over others.

Always assume you owe anyone you deal with, anyone who has been nice or friendly to you, always be on the look out to return kindness, friendliness, and favors to the degree they were given.

Masonry Water Tank

When collecting the gas all other gases and elements must be exhausted. After collecting it one could use a diaphragm pump "Vacuum Pump" to compress it in a vacuum tight container or tank. Working with methane is like working with freaon. One needs to remove all air from a tank and replace it with methane and use a high cfm vacuum pump to compress it. If the pump is hooked to a ready supply of methane and it pumps the gas from the producing tank to the holding tank it can be set to hold a certain pressure like 20psi at all times. This will help in the process of burning like a propane tank will. Propane pressures off its boiling point temp. Methane needs the pump to make the same pressures.

As you can see I'm a big fan of Terry Gilliam, Jean-Peirre Jeunet, and Hayao Miyazaki. I like historical fantasy, sci-fi, and lots of scenery porn.

The Adventures of Baron Munchausen

"Everyone - who had a talent for it - lived happily ever after."

My analysis of the plot:
Many people describe the plot of the Adventures of Baron Munchausen as a mindscrew since at the opening of the movie the unnamed town is being besieged by the Turk, but at the end when the baron demands that the gates be opened. The enemy is no longer there, in fact due to the decrepit state of the enemy's encampment they appear to have been gone for some time. This has lead some people to speculate that the city official, Horatio Jackson, was fabricating the attacks to maintain control and obedience from the town's people. If you watch carefully for the cues you will see that the most honorable Terry Gilliam is giving us a lesson in the importance of tales of heroes and bravery, magic, and fantasy in our overly cynical and rational age. In the opening the time period is given as:
THE LATE 18TH CENTURY .... THE AGE OF REASON ........... WEDNESDAY
A story of a man who rides cannon balls, flies to the moon, and defies death because he knows who death is and doesn't like him; set in the Age of Reason is definitely a Gilliam joke. You will see reason, common logic, and reality attacked a lot in this film by the Baron and defied by the crazy events that happen around him. But in the opening the movie is set in a world where cold logic and mediocrity is more important than tales of bravery and heroism. The adventures of the Baron are just silly stories acted out by a bunch of bad actors in front of a jeering crowd and we see a brave soldier who destroys six enemy cannons and rescues ten prisoners, executed for being too heroic and extraordinarily brave.
The Baron arrives and announces that only he can end the war because he started it and tells Horatio Jackson, who personifies the coldly rational beaurocrat, that he is happy not to have any grasp of Horatio's version of reality what so ever. The Baron is the Ace, he changes the reality around himself to be what ever he wants, and the other characters don't realize it but they are just pparticipants in his story, that is why only he can end the war. I think this is a great contrast to the play where he is portrayed as just a silly character. I can imagine Mr. Gilliam loving the idea of provoking a legendary figure to appear by acting out his life in a play, to the audiance of the play this is what seems to happen. And being such a Bad Ass Grandpa for whom death, time, age, and reality have no hold he retroactively defeats the Turks attacking the city. I love how in Terry Gilliam movies stories become reality and if anything The Adventures of Baron Munchausen is and exploration of this theme.

Hamlet: Act 2 Scene 2.545

Why, what an ass am I! This is most brave,

That I, the son of a dear father murdered,

Prompted to my revenge by heaven and hell,

Must, like a whore, unpack my heart with words

And fall a-cursing like a very drab,

A scullion! Fie upon ’t, foh!

About, my brain.

Suicide by Emilie Durkheim

Suicide (French: Le Suicide) was one of the groundbreaking books in the field of sociology. Written by French sociologist Émile Durkheim and published in 1897 it was a case study (some argue that it is not a case study, and that this is what makes it unique among other scholarly work on the same subject) of suicide, a publication unique for its time which provided an example of what the sociological monograph should look like.
