A ride of death. 1940s

Below is a Science fair project presented by a girl in a secondary school in Sussex.
In it she took filtered water and divided it into two parts.
In it she took filtered water and divided it into two parts.
The first part she heated to boiling in a pan on the stove, and the second part she heated to boiling in a microwave.
Then
after cooling she used the water to water two identical plants to see
if there would be any difference in the growth between the normal boiled
water and the water boiled in a microwave.
She was thinking that the structure or energy of the water may be compromised by microwave.
As
it turned out, even she was amazed at the difference, after the
experiment which was repeated by her class mates a number of times and
had the same result.
It
has been known for some years that the problem with microwaved anything
is not the radiation people used to worry about, it’s how it corrupts
the DNA in the food so the body can not recognize it.
Microwaves
don’t work different ways on different substances. Whatever you put
into the microwave suffers the same destructive process. Microwaves
agitate the molecules to move faster and faster. This movement causes
friction which denatures the original make-up of the substance. It
results in destroyed vitamins, minerals, proteins and generates the new
stuff called radiolytic compounds, things that are not found in nature.
So
the body wraps it in fat cells to protect itself from the dead food or
it eliminates it fast. Think of all the Mothers heating up milk in these
‘Safe’ appliances. What about the nurse in Canada that warmed up blood
for a transfusion patient and accidentally killed him when the blood
went in dead. But the makers say it’s safe. But proof is in the pictures
of living plants dying!!!
Ten Reasons to dispose off your Microwave Oven
From the conclusions of the Swiss, Russian and German scientific
clinical studies, we can no longer ignore the microwave oven sitting in
our kitchens. Based on this research, one can conclude this article with
the following:
1).
Continually eating food processed from a microwave oven causes long
term – permanent – brain damage by ‘shorting out’ electrical impulses in
the brain [de-polarizing or de-magnetizing the brain tissue].
2). The human body cannot metabolize [break down] the unknown by-products created in microwaved food.
3). Male and female hormone production is shut down and/or altered by continually eating microwaved foods.
4). The effects of microwaved food by-products are residual [long term, permanent] within the human body.
5).
Minerals, vitamins, and nutrients of all microwaved food is reduced or
altered so that the human body gets little or no benefit, or the human
body absorbs altered compounds that cannot be broken down.
6). The minerals in vegetables are altered into cancerous free radicals when cooked in microwave ovens.
7).
Microwaved foods cause stomach and intestinal cancerous growths
[tumours]. This may explain the rapidly increased rate of colon cancer
in UK and America .
8). The prolonged eating of microwaved foods causes cancerous cells to increase in human blood.
9). Continual ingestion of microwaved food causes immune system deficiencies through lymph gland and blood serum alterations.
10). Eating microwaved food causes loss of memory, concentration, emotional instability, and a decrease of intelligence.

Quote of the day.
Physical or worldly
happiness has to be continually "drunk" or "eaten"
to sustain it. But really these actions should be done only to stop or
allay hunger whenever we feel its pangs. As for spiritual or Dhammic happiness,
no drinking or eating is required to bring it about.
High-speed rail in the U.S. Just think about the possibilities.
Plans
progressing for high-speed rail to Chicago
Imagine hopping on a train in downtown Minneapolis and getting off less
than six hours later in the heart of Chicago, with a stop in Milwaukee
in between.

Quote of the day.
Physical happiness
is not that hard to come by, but spiritual happiness is difficult to attain.
Physical happiness is easy to see and know, but spiritual happiness is
more elusive. Still, there are few people who accept these truths, because
they believe that when the physical body is happy, the mind automatically
becomes happy, too - and they are convinced that there is no other happiness
to be found elsewhere.

Wise words from a wise man. (Joshua Foss)
I was trying my best not to force a path, rather let it present itself in front of me so long as I provided the motivation to keep moving forward. Over the years, I began to understand that this expansion was not unique to myself or any other individual, but was quite clearly culturally driven and evolutionary in its nature. Looking at the overarching human story, we too have been expanding our perspectives through both social and political evolution, but at much slower paces. Starting a couple hundred thousand of years ago, we roamed the lands as hunters and gatherers and were very much driven by survival. We’ve since evolved through many socio-political phases, from warring tribalism, to feudal kindgoms, and now into democratic multiethnic nation states. Throughout all of these phases or worldviews, one can distinguish a trend in our collective ability to gain perspective and be more empathic. Looking back, we can see this applied in a near infinite number of ways. The European Enlightenment for example explored the values of equality, freedom and rules of law, helping to birth modern democracy. More recently, our cultural evolution has championed the new ideals of civil rights, women’s rights, the rights of ethnic minorities, and, later, gay rights. And as this trend of inclusion and broadening perspective continues (as it naturally will), it will evolve to better incorporate the rights of things that are currently voiceless… in particular the rights of nature and biodiversity, and the rights of future generations.

Plastic-eating fungus discovered in Amazonian rainforest
It's been filling landfills for the past 150 years -- used in everything
from Tupperware to car parts -- and it's become one of our generation's
greatest environmental concerns.
Now, Yale scientists say they may have a solution to the plastic problem.
PCWorld is reporting that the scientists found a fungus in the Amazonian rainforest, identified as Pestalotiopsis microspora - the first anyone has found that survives on a steady diet of polyurethane alone.
Amazingly, the fungus manages to do that in an anaerobic (oxygen-free) environment, conditions that are similar to the bottom of a landfill.
FastCoexist.com summed it up well: "Polyurethane seemed like it couldn't interact with the earth's normal processes of breaking down and recycling material. That's just because it hadn't met the right mushroom yet."
Yale student Pria Anand has been credited with recording the microbe’s remarkable behavior, and Jonathan Russell isolated the enzymes that allow the organism to degrade plastic as its food source.
The team published their findings in the journal Applied and Environmental Microbiology last year.
If scientists are able to harness the power of these little mushrooms, it could change the way we dispose of trash forever. http://www.abcactionnews.com/dpp/news/science_tech/break-it-down-fungus-eating-plastic-discovered-in-amazonian-rainforest

Food for thought
The goal of this
life is to reach the loftiest levels of what it means to be civilized,
both in worldly terms and in Dhammic terms. Life, therefore, requires
both worldly food and Dhammic food; if you partake of only one of these,
then life is merely half full.

Wise words from a wise man.
Take a course in good water and air; and in the eternal youth of Nature you may renew your own. Go quietly, alone; no harm will befall you.

Inspiration
Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul.
