The pre-dawn silence at the foot of the Uluguru mountains is disturbed only by the cries of drowsy birds, the whisper of boots through grass and an intermittent clicking sound that is irresistible to 60 pairs of tiny, almost translucent, ears.

When the sun finally rises over the blue peaks to flood the fields below, it illuminates one of the more unlikely scenes of human-animal cooperation.

Watched over by men and women clutching bananas and the small clickers used to train puppies, dozens of African giant pouched rats shuttle across taped-off alleyways trying to catch the lingering scent of TNT from some of the 1,500 deactivated landmines that have been sown in the red earth.

Most scamper back and forth with an apparent mix of delight and concentration, as if they know that each time they find a mine and communicate their discovery with a fit of scratching, they will be rewarded with a click and a mouthful of fruit.

RELEASE TIME CONSTRAINTS Many of you are feeling a quickening, as though there is no time to get things done, wondering where the hours went at the close of your day. There is a shattering of time as you begin to ascend to higher frequencies of vibration.

Time is relative to your interest in an activity, as well. All of you have experienced performing a chore that you disliked and it seemed to take forever. Yet, when you spent the same amount of time involved in a task that was of high interest, you exclaimed, “Where did the time go?” Each of you has within you the ability to warp time so it benefits you, without harming anyone else.

Many of you cannot wear watches, for they either stop or lose their ability to maintain correct time. When a person chooses to follow his intuition and allows himself to flow with what is happening around him, this belief code creates a higher frequency of love, which is the flow. What happens is that clocks and watches are jangled by this frequency and will not work properly. Have you noticed how those who live this way always seem to show up at places at the perfect time?

The country of Sweden continues to be on the cutting edge of developing and implementing positive practices.

In September of last year we covered how Sweden’s approach to garbage and recycling is so effective that only 1% of that waste ends up in landfills. Just last week, several media outlets (including ecowatch.com) covered how the country was on the verge of becoming one of the world’s first fossil fuel-free nations. And now Sweden is successfully redefining the 40 hour work week by the widespread implementation of the 6 hour work day.

The Traditional 40 Hour Work Week

The 40 hour work week is something that most of the world has not only become accustomed to, but has grown to accept. Despite this acceptance, many of us often find ourselves drained week after week, regularly drifting out of focus when at work and eagerly awaiting the point where we can celebrate 5pm on a Friday.

We all know that money can’t buy happiness, which might be why people buy so much other stuff, but imagine what you could do if money were no object and happiness was not exactly what you were looking for.

Who knows what the world’s richest elite do behind closed doors on private land and at places like Bohemian Grove, but we do know that in today’s society having wealth places one above the law, and in today’s world when you’re above the law, you can literally get away with murder.

Bass guitar player for the classic rock band Scorpions, Ralph Rieckermann, was caught in a surprising paparazzi style TV interview with TMZ, one of the mainstream’s most unabashed purveyors of pop-culture/celebrity/consumer hype. When TMZ asked Rieckermann if he was going to any German fetish parties after a concert, Rieckermann replied that he wasn’t into fetish parties, but then for some reason ended up telling the camera about some of his past experiences at very exclusive parties amongst the elite in Germany.

The collective power of one movement, 2000+ individuals, and 400 institutes, equals 2.6 trillion dollars — all being divested from old, unclean energy sources such oil, coal, and gas. Right now, Leonardo DiCaprio is just as fired up as the Divestment movement is, and for the first time in a long time, a clear message is being sent not only to world leaders, but also, perhaps more importantly, to corporations.

The message comes in a language they certainly know well, and that is dollars. The divestment movement is asking institutions whose profits are derived from oil, gas, and coal to simply divest that money into renewable energy sources and climate solutions. This time last year the world’s largest private bank, UBS, was urging investors to join the clean, renewable energy movement. Analysts at the bank said that power plants in Europe might be extinct within the next 10 to 20 years. According to an economic analysis report done by Arabella Advisors, factors contributing to people becoming more aware about our planet and how we are impacting it are apparent. Here are highlights of the report and what some of the numbers show.
