Italian Designers Transform Old Viaduct Into Futuristic Wind Turbine Bridge

Source: www.themindunleashed.org | Original Post Date: July 17, 2015 –

There are lots of abandoned viaducts in southern Italy, and it is estimated that demolishing them would cost the government about $50 million. Instead of this, town authorities in Calabria, a region in the ‘toe’ of Italy, organized a contest called “Solar Park South” aimed to encourage Italian designers and engineers to propose sustainable ways of repurposing these old constructions.

In fact, most bridges are rather tall and are likely to be subjected to strong winds, especially if the bridge is located in a mountainous area where crosswinds originate.

Together with the constant sunlight exposure, this makes bridges a perfect place for generating both wind and solar power.

Mark Ruffalo Calls Out Monsanto: “You Are Poisoning People.”

Actor Mark Ruffalo, best known for his portrayal of the Hulk, has joined the likes of Russell Brand, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jim Carrey, and several other prominent celebrity figures in using their status to shed light on global issues about which they care deeply.

Before filming a promotional segment at CBS for his upcoming movie Spotlight — which is based on the true story of how The Boston Globe uncovered the massive scandal of child molestation in the Catholic church — Ruffalo happened to run into Hugh Grant, the CEO of Monsanto. Knowing how unexpected and unlikely this rendezvous was, Ruffalo stepped up to the plate and used this opportunity to share his opinion on the work being done by Grant’s organization:

“You are wrong. You are engaged in monopolizing food. You are poisoning people. You are killing small farms. You are killing bees. What you are doing is dead wrong.”

Public Lands Slated for Deforestation and Monsanto Herbicide Spray Ignites Community Outcry

By Carolanne Wright
Contributing Writer for Wake Up World

In a move that defies logic by authorities in the field, an area in Northern California, United States, has received federal funding to implement an “ environmentally catastrophic plan to eradicate Eucalyptus, Monterey Pine, and Acacia forests on the public lands and parks of the East Bay.” Beginning in August 2015, up to 400,000 trees will be clear-cut in the park district and the remaining stumps sprayed with toxic herbicides by Dow and Monsanto. The ultimate goal is to eliminate forests and transform the spaces into “grassland with islands of shrubs” in an attempt to reduce fire hazard. However, those who have experience with wildfire mitigation have come forward denouncing the plan, stating that fire risk will dramatically increase if officials continue down this destructive path.

The Six Million Dollar Bid to Destroy Natural Habitat

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is funding the proposal. In total, 105 distinct locations will be included, with over 2,000 acres of public land cleared — all of which fall under the management of the City of Oakland, UC Berkeley and the East Bay Regional Parks District.

Daily Message ~ Wednesday December 9, 2015

Dear Ones, what if today you decided to be gentle? Gentle with yourselves, gentle with others, gentle with animals, gentle with the planet. Can you feel the energy of that? Can you feel how that creates a lovely flow? In the busyness of fast moving energies and a holiday season, gentleness can be a very welcome approach that is both soothing and restorative. ~Archangel Gabriel

God said:

I hear your despair. I hear you say:

“Dear God, beloved God, the One and Only God, how can I, deeply connected to You, feel such deep despair? How can it be that I am not the happiest person in the world? What is happening, and what is not happening? I am so tired of feeling lost in my present and future life here as a seeming bedraggled human being on a seeming bedraggled Earth. How can it be that I focus on the underside of life rather than on Life's Beauty and Wondrousness and Closeness to You?”

Dear Children, you have a fear of change. You would like to feel the world solid under your feet, yet the world does not feel solid to you. Often you wonder what you are doing here trembling on Earth. Your mind is often not here. It is somewhere else, and you are not sure where that somewhere else is. As it is, you live part-time, to one extent or another, in a Land you might name Fear.

What is happening? It is like you are on a raft floating on a river. You came from somewhere, and now you are going somewhere else. Not uphill, but upriver, floating along where life seems to take you. You ask what is happening?

Beloveds, life is happening.

You want some kind of certificate of safety. You want to see a guarantee in writing. You want peace and sense of fulfillment now and for all time and no longer just announcements of it.

Real love is always in the present. Egoistical love is always either in the past or in the future. In real love there is a passionate coolness. It will look paradoxical, but all greater realities of life are paradoxical; hence I call it passionate coolness: there is warmth, but there is no heat in it. Warmth certainly is there, but there is also coolness in it, a very collected, calm, cool state. Love makes one less feverish. But if it is not real love but egoistical love, then there is great heat. Then the passion is there like fever, there is no coolness at all.

If you can remember these things you will have the criterion for judging. But one has to start with oneself, there is no other way. One has to start from where one is.

Love yourself, love immensely, and in that very love your pride, your ego and all that nonsense, will disappear. And when it has disappeared your love will start reaching to other people. And it will not be a relationship but a sharing. And it will not be an object/subject relationship but a melting, a togetherness. It will not be feverish, it will be a cool passion. It will be warm and cool together. It will give you the first taste of the paradoxicalness of life.

Backed By Science: Your Cats Can Enjoy Music That Has Been Designed Just For Them

It is difficult to imagine a world without music. It brings us so much joy over the course of our lives and can really lift us up when we are down, providing a comforting soundtrack to every possible mood. So imagine the thrill of going your whole life without hearing music and then, one day, suddenly being introduced to it. Just think how incredible that would be. Now imagine being able to offer that experience to your cat!

Cellist and musical engineer David Teie, who has worked with Metallica and the National Symphony Orchestra, has invented a new type of music that is specific to certain species. He has spent a lot of time learning how mammals develop their preference for different kinds of sounds, and, through his experiments, has found out that cats can develop a musical taste and will respond to music when they are exposed to sounds after they are born. With this understanding, Teie has decided to make the world a bit more exciting and pleasurable for cats and those who love them with the gift of music.

Australian Prime Minister’s Chief Business Adviser & His Shocking Comments About The New World Order

The Australian prime minister’s chief business adviser is saying that climate change is a ‘ruse’ led by the United Nations to create a new world order under the agency’s control. This statement coincided with a visit from the UN’s top climate negotiator. More on this later in the article. 

Before reading this article, please keep in mind that I am not denying climate change. I am simply presenting information that you will not hear from mainstream media. I wanted to make this article more so about the politicization of climate change science and let people know that if you feel this way, you are not alone.

Climate change is happening and has been for some time now; this is a simple fact and I have no intention of attempting to refute it. What I take issue with is the use of the climate change debate, among other real world problems, for the satisfaction of global elitist agendas. This is far from a mere ‘conspiracy theory,’ it’s an opinion that is backed by evidence in the form of documentation, scientific research, and statements from undeniably credible sources. Again, I am not denying climate change here, just presenting information you will probably never hear from mainstream media.

Report: US Donors Gave $220 Million to Israeli Settlements

A new report from Haaretz reveals that, from 2009-2013, US donors gave at least $220 million to Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, a scheme that is run through scores of US-based nonprofit groups who accept the donations as tax deductible.

The money was largely sent to settlements as grants, allowing them to spend money on whatever they want, be it construction or legal aid for convicted terrorists backed by the settler movement. This included Honenu, an Israeli settler group that supports the families of Israelis imprisoned for killing Palestinians, and also raised money for Yigal Amir, who assassinated former Israeli PM Yitzhak Rabin.

The tax deductible status of the settlement donations is raising some eyebrows, since the settlements themselves are illegal under international law, and not recognized as legitimate under US law either. Every administration since 1967, when the West Bank was occupied, has been at least nominally opposed to settlement expansion.
