A Mighty Girl
17-year-old Mighty Girl Cynthia Lam of Melbourne, Australia wants to help people living without access to clean water and electricity -- and this ingenious young inventor has developed a device that can purify water and generate electricity using only the power of the sun! Cynthia is now bringing her potentially life-changing invention, which she calls H2Pro, to a global stage as one of the 2014 Google Science Fair’s 15 global finalists.

Cynthia's H2Pro device is made up of two parts -- an upper unit for photocatalytic water-purification and hydrogen-generation and a bottom unit where additional water filtration takes place. Dirty water enters the top of the device and it passes through a titanium mesh which, when activated by the sun, sterilizes the water. This photocatalytic reaction also splits the water into oxygen and hydrogen -- the latter of which is used by a hydrogen fuel cell to generate power. Impurities in the water such as detergents also provide more hydrogen; thus, allowing the device to generate more power.

In her testing, Cynthia found that H2prO could decompose 90% of organic pollutants in the water in the space of two hours. While the theory shows that the reaction should produce enough hydrogen to generate electricity, in practice, H2prO’s energy generation is still erratic. As she wrote in her Google Science Fair brief, "the removal of organic pollutant was examined to be excellent"; however, she was unsatisfied with its energy generation and plans to "keep searching for economical approach to 'practicalize' the electricity-generation unit."

Ultimately, Cynthia told CoExist, "I think people around the world don't really understand how serious water pollution and the energy crisis is. I'd really like to finalize the design, because it could potentially help people in developing countries. It would be great to have clean water and electricity supplied sustainably, without needing any outside help. It would be awesome."

Kudos to Cynthia for her inventiveness and interest in helping others! We wish you the best of luck in the Google Science Fair!

If there is still an honest politician in the US, Bernie is the one...
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2014/0...?detail=email#

I've seen a lot of complaining around here about Hillary Clinton - is she inevitable, can she be pushed to the left, ect. I think that many of these concerns are well founded - Hillary Clinton is a centrist, she confirmed as much in her most recent interview. What I haven't heard is what alternative we have to Hillary.

Well, here he is! For those of you who don't know him, Bernie once filibustered tax cuts for the rich for 8 and a half hours. And unlike Ted Cruz, whose speech quickly devolved into non-sequiturs and Green Eggs and Ham during his filibuster, Bernie's speech was so eloquent he turned it into a book.

Now, can Bernie Sanders beat Hillary Clinton in the primary? In all honesty, probably not. However, he can accomplish many important things with his run.

1. Bring truly left wing ideas into the traditional media's consciousness. Just imagine if the media had to give a platform to a self-identified socialist. Just imagine what he could inspire in the next generation of future Democratic Party activists if he was perceived as a potential party leader.

2. Help build the party - even if he doesn't defeat Hillary, if he looks like he'll have a strong showing, it will force both camps to engage the electorate. In 2008, the long primary helped build the party's strength, as each state received state of the art voter registration and outreach.

3. He could become President. It's possible (though unlikely) that Hillary won't run. There is no consensus choice for second place. Bernie could be our guy - he could run and win, if the field becomes "Clintonless."

Cinema Symbolism With Robert W Sullivan IV


Robert W. Sullivan IV is a philosopher, historian, anti-quar-ian, jurist, theologian, writer, and lawyer.
“The Royal Arch of Enoch: The Impact of Masonic Ritual, Philosophy, and Symbolism” documents a previous unknown historical anomaly: how a high degree Masonic Ritual called “The Royal Arch of Enoch - developed in France in the mid 1700’s - included elements of the Book of Enoch which was considered lost until Freemason and traveler James Bruce returned to Europe with copies from Ethiopia in 1773. These copies were not translated into English until 1821 at Oxford University. That notwithstanding, Masonic philosophers were incorporating elements of the Book of Enoch into Masonic Ritual. This book presents a real life “Da Vinci Code/National Treasure” mystery which, until the publication of this book, was previously unknown to history and historians in both the East and West.

'Blair Witch' Director Goes in Search of Bigfoot in New Trailer for 'Exists'

Oliver Jones
Aug 27, 2014

Source: https://youtube.com/watch?v=qnZdhdcG1IE

Long before there were found-footage tornado movies, and found-footage epic party movies, and found-footage super powers movies (stop us here whenever you like), there was one found-footage movie to rule them all: 1999’s The Blair Witch Project, a film who’s massive, viral success was spurned by this nascent little technology known as the Internet. Now Eduardo Sánchez, one of that film’s co-directors and writers, has returned to the genre he helped create with Exists. With his latest, Sanchez hopes to use the found-footage concept to revive one of the more historically unforgiving genres Hollywood has to offer: the Bigfoot movie.

In following a group of nubile Sasquatch hunters into an increasing isolated woods, Sánchez has advantages this time out that he was missing a decade and a half ago. For starters, people couldn’t make movies with their phones back then, and were much less dependent on technology (anyone who’s taken a wrong turn in a rental car while on vacation can share the terror of the one character who announces, “We are officially out of GPS territory”). But in going after Bigfoot, Sánchez is wading into a genre with few certified hits outside of the 1987 family comedy Harry and the Hendersons. (Want to hear something really scary? They spun that movie off into a sitcom in the early 90’s.)

Sanchez, though, is undaunted. “I think we made the Bigfoot movie I have been waiting for since I was 12-years-old,” he told Coming Soon two years ago. Trust us, Eduardo: Hollywood has been waiting a lot longer than that.

The Chemistry of Blame

By Gay Hendricks

"There is a great fundamental issue that overrides many of the things we can do to heal ourselves and the world: the human tendency to step into feeling like a victim and blaming others, instead of taking personal responsibility. It's not just a habit; it's an addiction, just like a chemical addiction. When you step into the victim position by pointing the finger of blame, you short the circuitry in yourself that allows you to feel the natural organic ecstasy of fully standing in a co-creative position with the universe itself. That's the fundamental developmental task we face at this stage of our evolution: opening up the wiring that allows us to feel organic ecstasy for longer and longer periods of time.

At present, most people can't sustain the feelings that arise with this opening, so they slip into a dangerous addiction to blame with its corresponding feeling of a gleeful gotcha! Once we're accustomed to a certain internal chemical state, we feel comfortable with that state even if it's attached to really dysfunctional behavior like that glee that arises from apportioning blame. When we try new behavior and our neurochemistry changes, it feels uncomfortable at first. Moving to a new emotional and biochemical state may feel foreign. Even though it may be a healthier one, it is unfamiliar.

Usually in couples therapy, the first issue to be addressed is: Are you willing to make a commitment to solving the problem? One of the most typical responses is, "Well, I'd be committed if she were." It takes about an hour and a half of discussion to work through that objection, until at some point in the process, both people bond and turn on the leader. I tell my students that those are the only moments during which you're earning your keep as a therapist. Both members of the couple turn to you and say, "Hey, what the hell are you suggesting here? Are you suggesting that it's not his fault?" That's always a sweaty moment, but it's the instant when transformation can come. Once you're through that issue, the possibility of getting out of the field of blame and actually taking responsibility opens up.

"Are you willing to stay completely away from blaming anyone, and instead make a sincere commitment to resolving all the issues we confront?" I've asked that question of thousands of people, many of whom had traveled great distances to visit to me, or were paying me very large sums of money. Even with stakes that high, ninety-nine times out of a hundred, the person goes into the default position of blame immediately. Weaning people from that automatic behavior takes a great deal of patience and repetition, and a nimble set of therapeutic interventions. The tendency to default to blame is the huge issue confronting couples and societies today. Wherever you see it appear, that's the area where healing is needed. There's only one solution, and that's to take 100% impeccable responsibility – and create a space for the other person to take 100% impeccable responsibility as well. Responsibility has a contagious effect.

The initial level of responsibility is going from blame to being willing to consider what you're getting out of – or contributing to – the problem. Senior level responsibility is being so impeccably clear that you become a space into which it's possible for other people to step. You then have to confront a person's despair that the problem is not solvable, which is always accompanied by about fifteen levels of justification. But when both people have made a commitment to resolving the issue, 90% of the work is done. Both people have then stepped into a co-creative role with not only the other, but with the Universe itself.

A particular couple comes to mind. They came to work with my wife and me on their relationship. Both partners were Ph.D.s who had written brilliant scholarly papers, but when either of them encountered anything they perceived as a threat, their academic, intellectual understanding flew out the window, and they immediately became convinced that they knew that the other person was wrong. The first thing that we did was to repeatedly ask them if they would be willing to take responsibility for healing, and to make a commitment to solving the issues. When confronted with the question, they would spin out and become more entrenched in the position that it was the other person's fault. They had endless justifications for this certainty, and thus continually dosed themselves with this highly addictive drug.

It took all of the first day and well into the night to produce a shift, but in the middle of the night, the husband couldn't sleep. His anxiety got worse and worse. In a state of desperation, he said, "Okay, I'm willing to commit to solving this problem." That created a space for the wife to commit to the same thing. The next morning, they came in willing to solve the problem. In a nutshell, the problem was that she had had a sexual affair and he couldn't forgive her. They'd gone 'round and 'round with it for the better part of a year. On the second day of therapy, the reason he couldn't get over it became really clear. One of the questions that I commonly ask people is, "Has anything like this ever happened to you or anyone you know?" At first the husband said, "No," but then, as we got deeper into the question, it turned out not only was the real answer, "Yes," but his entire early life had been shaped by his mother running off with another man and leaving his dad with four little boys to raise.

It was inevitable that his wife's infidelity, or something like it, was bound to happen to him, because he had it so thoroughly sealed off this early experience. When we seal something off from our consciousness inside, it has to be brought to our attention in some way by the outside world. Suddenly, he realized that his wife was illuminating this old experience, and he said to her, "Oh, you played this role in my life for me." At the end of the second day they were in each other's arms. She said, "This was inevitable. I had to play this role for you." And he responded, "Yes, this was my bad dream you wandered into." He asked her, "Can you forgive me, for getting you involved in this nutty scheme of my unconscious?" That couple represented one of the best examples I've ever seen of what's possible when both people take responsibility.

There are a lot of programmed-in and even biologically-based characteristics that make human males and females different. I'm interested in what's underneath that. The deeper you go inside, the more human beings look alike. The further you go toward the surface, the more different we look. The fear a woman feels when she's upset about the guy not picking up his socks corresponds to the fear the man feels when he's upset that she's on his case. The superficial differences point to some underlying unity. To deal with these situations, we voice our fears, then look underneath them. As a therapist, I point out repeatedly, "Okay, having said that your husband is a worthless piece of ****, tune inside. Do you feel happier?" The person begins to recognize that although they feel that "glee-gotcha" feeling that comes from assigning blame, they don't feel happier.

So I help people make choices about whether something can make them feel happy, rather than just gleeful, by inviting them to make tiny choices that are actually huge choices. I say, "Do you choose being right or being happy?" I've had people come back months later and say, "I hated you for asking me that question – but it changed my life." And here's the great advantage of asking this question: we each only have to make the choice once. That choice changes the whole playing field. Afterwards, it's simply a matter of practice. It's similar to getting on a bicycle for the first time. You travel ten feet, then wobble and fall over. You get back on and you master going twenty feet. The first time was the moment in which everything changed.

It's the same with mastering personal responsibility. Once a person shifts out of glee and experiences the real joy of claiming responsibility, everything is changed. They're launched into the process of learning. How do they remember that they're in that process and trigger that experience on a regular basis in everyday life? By discovering how great they feel when they do it, and how miserable they feel when they don't. Twenty-five years ago Kathlyn and I knew we wanted to create something different with our marriage. We looked around to find other couples to model our behavior on, but we found nobody whose relationship we would have traded for our own. We had to make up our path ourselves.

It took a long time, but now it's been the better part of a decade since my wife or I have said one critical thing to each other. It's years since I've experienced blame, since I've had that chemistry in my body. I am past the point where I ever want that drug, because I feel good, and I don't want to bring myself down. We are living in that clear space of impeccable responsibility that offers the possibility for other people to step into it. We choose to be happy. It's easy now."
