Tens of thousands of people overran a park in Tokyo urging Japan to abandon nuclear power as the country prepares to restart another reactor, which was shut down among 50 others following last year’s meltdown at Fukushima.

­Temperatures sweltering, the Yoyogi Park failed to accommodate all the rally participants from all over Japan, who were waving banners “Goodbye Nuclear Plants” and “The Nuclear Era is Over” while chanting “No Nuclear.”

“If we don’t do anything and stay silent, it means we agree in restarting the nuclear plants,” said the protesters, led by Nobel-winning novelist Kenzaburo Oe.

Organizers put the number of attendees at 170,000-200,000; this makes the demonstration the largest in 50 years. Over 7.4 million signatures have been collected for a petition demanding a phase-out for nuclear power.

Creating from Higher Mind

By Chris Bourne

Contributing Writer for Wake up World

We often speak here at Openhand about the mis-information we feel is happening in spiritual circles concerning ‘manifestation’. On the one hand the beauty is that we’ve realised consciousness and matter are the same thing; that we shape and change matter from what we’re being within. In some teachings though (most notably “The Secret”), we feel this ancient truth has been taken a step too far; trying to shape circumstances to manifest a new, apparently more desirable reality. There’s simply no need to do this. Our higher selves, inline with the Divine Design, have already imagined a future far more miraculous, far more harmonious and far more loving than our lower egos could ever dream of. And all we have to do is open to Higher Mind and bring that authentic dream into reality. So how does authentic creating from Higher Mind really work? Here is a point of view from my own direct experience.

The official request was made more than a month ago but so far the Vatican Bank, known as the Institute for Religious Works, has refused to disclose any records of the account held by father Ninni Treppiedi – who is currently suspended from serving as a priest.

50 Questions That Can Help Free Your Mind

 

 

These questions have no right or wrong answers.

Because sometimes asking the right questions is the answer.

 

 

 

 

1. How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are?

2. Which is worse, failing or never trying?

3. If life is so short, why do we do so many things we don’t like and like so many things we don’t do?

4. When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?

5. What is the one thing you would most like to change about the world?

Debt Crisis: Moody’s Downgrades 13 Italian Banks – 17 July 2012

Moody’s cut its rating for 13 Italian banks this evening, citing the weakened borrower standing of the Italian government after its credit grade was downgraded last week.

The ratings fell by one to two notches, with Unicredit and Intesa Sanpaolo both falling to Baa2 from A3.

“Today’s actions follow the weakening of the Italian government’s credit profile,” Moody’s said in a statement.

The FINANCIAL -- Germany's top court said Monday it would rule on September 12 on legal challenges to euro crisis-fighting tools, as financial markets nervously await a decision.

 
 
 

The Federal Constitutional Court said it would hand down a judgement on complaints aimed at preventing President Joachim Gauck from signing legislation passed last month by both houses of parliament.

 

The draft laws concern Europe's fiscal pact for greater budgetary discipline and its 500-billion-euro ($611-billion) permanent bailout fund to aid debt-mired eurozone countries.

The FINANCIAL -- As Spain struggles with wage and budget cuts as part of sweeping austerity measures, Spaniards exasperated at seeing no end in sight are increasingly taking their grievances to the streets.

Thousands of people came out into the streets of central Madrid on Sunday, just 48 hours after their last protest, sparked by the approval of Spain's latest austerity plan on Friday.
 

Sunday's late-night protest was spontaneous, sparked by calls on social networking sites, said 21-year-old fireman Miguel Rodriguez. It brought together professionals such as firemen and police along with civil servants who all opposed the government's plan.
 

Spaniards say they just despair of what is next.
