I am not against democracy actually I am not against anything. I noticed that I question everything I do. I never voted in my life and I am not having a plan to vote unless I find an answer to this problem. One time I attempted to go out for vote then came back home. I was not able to justify my action to myself. I was just not able to do it. At the same time, I was asking how come others are going. Are they satisfied with their actions? Later, I learned that there is something called the Asch Experiment - a very special psycological behaviour embedded in our system/human-mind also known as Group-Conformity. Group-Conformity is basically if one person is having different opinion compared to rest of the group; it's a proven fact that over time his opinion will be inline with others. Besides this let's look at another aspect.
The Polity data series is a widely used data series in political science research. Polity's conclusions about a state's level of democracy are based on an evaluation of that state's elections for competitiveness, openness and level of participation. -wikipedia
The era we are living in, it is very surprising to see a graph like this. Is it fair to say, since the whole world is on a decline path, seems like there are more illogical people in the world than logical. Let's call it condition X. Again, I am not against democracy but my suggestion is, if X is true then we have to come up with some standards, rules within democracy. For example, giving more weightage to logical person's vote. But that is a second step. I usually say, identifying a problem is a biggest problem and Nature takes care of the rest. I think, if you strive for a logical/noble/baisless/pure/merciful cause, Nature comes and helps you complete the task.
This is not any floor tiles pattern, it's Hong Kong Shark Fin Sidewalk, taken by Photojournalist Alex Hofford URL. The brutality is that the cruel fishermen cut the fins off the sharks and while they are still alive put them back in the sea where they die eventually due to extreme pain and bleeding. Shark fin soups is very popular and it's prepared after removing the skin off from the fin. Shark fin is incorrectly perceived by some as having high nutritional value especially in fighting cancer. Shark fins are not only in demand in Hong Kong but in China as well and it's considered as delicacy in restaurants.
Satellite Sentinel Project - The World Is Watching
George Clooney has started this Satellite Sentinel Project that will collect real-time satellite imagery and combine it with the field analysis from the Harvard Humanitarian Initiative and the Enough Project to show to the world, the movement of troops and civilians. He wants to deliver a message to folks out there waiting to launch another genocide after January 9th independence referendum. Clooney says, "We were late to Rwanda. We were late to the Congo. We were late to Darfur." and I hope we will not be late this time.
Intel® Wireless Display sounds very exciting especially after watching this video URL. Manufacturers never talk about the radiations and SAR (Specific Absorption Rate). Few days ago we discussed about a Dutch study done on WiFi's harmful impact on trees @ URL. Before that we shared that 5 GHz Routers Cause Nausea & Dizziness @ URL. It's not just Intel. There are tons of other manufacturers making "wireless" streaming at & above 2.5 GHz band. You know why, because world folks like "easy setup", "wireless" and "fun". In other words if we the people can get to "fun" easily we will buy it. This is the niche for manufactures and manufactures all they care about is money. These days for video streaming manufactures have started using 5 GHz band because at 2.5 GHz if you have a microwave oven nearby then you will experience frozen or distorted frames on your TV while it's getting video streamed data wirelessly. So if you are watching streamed video for 180 minutes, so guess what at the same time you are exposing your brain to microwave frequencies. The story is not over yet, you are exposing your kids in the other room and even neighbours. Farther you are from the source, less electric flux you will get!
If 5 GHz Wi-Fi Routers can cause Nausea & Dizziness in humans (URL) then this study's outcome is not shocking for me. It was a research funded by dutch city of Alphen aan den Rijn five years ago to find out why their city's trees were developing weird growths? As published in PC World, "The study exposed 20 ash trees to various radiation sources for a period of three months. Trees placed closest to the Wi-Fi radio demonstrated a "lead-like shine" on their leaves that was caused by the dying of the upper and lower epidermis of the leaves. This would eventually result in the death of parts of the leaves. The study also found that Wi-Fi radiation could inhibit the growth of corn cobs." The public response was exceptional after this study was published and to calm the situation down the Dutch Antennebureau cautioned that the results are not final and more work needs to be done and that the previous study that Wi-Fi is harmless cannot be denied. This is all about money and no one cares about human. There is well demand from the public side for speed/wireless video streaming and companies knows that if they make faster Wi-Fi routers they will become millionaires. The greed for money, is the result of 5 GHz class N routers. It's almost like running a microwave with a door open!
Clingfish belongs to the family Gobiesocidae of phylum Chordata. There are over 150 species of fishes under family Gobiesocidae. This particular one longs like a human-head with dorsal fin in water. It has been given Clingfish name because of its pelvic fin is designed into a sucking disc which helps the fish to adhere with surfaces of rocks under water. In this video this pelvic sucking disc is visible when the fish makes a turn after capturing a prey and returns to it's original location.
Of course, I will select to place my spider on the thread which will lead him/her to peaceful destination i.e. the positive (thinking) thread. What I noticed that inside the human-mind there is a 'thinking process' with no sense of which topic to choose. There is another process which is linked with our eyes, ear, hand and other senses. This process makes the selection what the 'thinking process' will ponder upon. I think we should create another process inside our brain and call it 'watch-dog' process whose job is to watch over the 'thinking process' to make sure it is pondering upon a peaceful/productive topic. Another thing you will notice as well that this thinking-process's nature is to 'think' and 'think' and 'think' ... (just like the spider crawls and crawls and crawls... taking it's whole body to specific location) taking the whole mind deeper and deeper on the topic (call it a thread) until the mind finds satisfaction (a.k.a. answer/destination/conclusion) and then we think that we have come-up with the end-result or solution. The watch-dog process can predict/estimate what the end-result will be just before the thread (topic) being assigned to the spider (thinking-process). This way your spider will always be on positive thinking thread.
It secretly enters in one's brain usually through two entry points eyes or ear. That is all it takes. Now, this seed found it's soil. How fast it will grow will depend on how much you are exposed to hatred around you. Your surrounding will act as water, oxygen for this seed. One day it will be such a big tree that your brain will see nothing but that tree. The best way to handle this problem, is to run anti-virus in your brain every night before going to bed. Call it anti-virus or scan your brain looking for this Hatred virus/seed and once you come across kill it. What I have noticed that if you hate one thing, next day your brain will make you hate that thing more strongly.
How calculated and well-balanced eye balls are from the head? This is amazing. Stalk-eyed flies are insects and since their eyes stalk out from the head therefore, they have been given this name. This is simply amazing. Kudos to Discovery Channel and their team of Nature's secrets seekers.
