22. Deep ocean nodule mining

Abstract

In the past two years there has been a significant increase in the writings on the practicalities or impracticalities of bringing to market metal values obtained from benthic nodules. The majority concentrate on the so-called manganese nodule ores accreting on the ocean floor in thousands of feet of water. Chief among the economically viable metals contained in these nodules are nickel, copper, and cobalt (up to 2% each), and manganese (20 to 35%). Organizations involved in this field have shown reluctance to publish their technical accomplishments or their plans. Consequently, analysts trying to establish trends and draw conclusions have to do so on scant information. Even information available to Deepsea Ventures, to whom the majority of published work on this subject must be credited, has been limited and collected from diverse sources. I propose, therefore, in this article to summarize the facts as we know them.

*HORSE racing, *THOROUGHBRED horse, *ROYALTIES (Copyright), *HUMAN rights, *CHECHENS
Abstract

Thoroughbred racing has always attracted a mix of royalty and rogues. Blue bloods like the Whitneys and the Vanderbilts have long been owners. So, too, have mischief-makers like the mobster Arnold Rothstein, who won the 1921 Travers at Saratoga with a racehorse named Sporting Blood. It appears, though, at least in New York and in Kentucky, that there are limits to who can race a horse. Officials in those states have taken steps to exclude from racing a horse owned by Ramzan A. Kadyrov, the leader of Chechnya, who has been accused by human rights groups of murder, torture and other abuses over the years. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Rothstein, Arnold
Abstract

Arnold Rothstein (RAWTH-stin) was born in New York on January 17, 1882. He dropped out of school when he was sixteen years old. His first job was as a traveling salesman. During this time, he spent his free time loitering outside billiard halls. Because he was not old enough to enter the halls, he placed bets on horse races by giving money to men who guarded the entryways to the gambling rooms. In the late nineteenth century, billiard halls had only one or two pool tables. Some pool was played, but mostly the halls were places where people came to gamble on various events and to solicit prostitutes. It was in this setting that Rothstein learned that betting alone would not make him much money. He became the person who took the bets. He was exceptional with numbers and quickly calculated percentages. This skill allowed him to become a professional bookmaker, taking bets on sporting events such as horse racing and baseball games.
