Who
says you can’t bottle (and distribute) genius? Developed in Brazil to
address under-illuminated slums, this simple design idea has been
adopted by MIT students and expanded to other developing areas where
many low-income homes lack access to either daylight or electricity.
The physics of the concept are straightforward: the bottles are placed in roofs – half outside, half inside – and their lower
portions refract light like 60-Watt light bulb but without the need for
a power source. A few drops of bleach serve to keep the water clear,
clean and germ-free for years to come.
In total, one of these
do-it-yourself lights takes maybe an hour to install, cutting an
appropriate hole, inserting a bleached-water-filled bottle, and
resealing around the resulting gap. Even where clean water is rare, a
little can generally be spared for a half-decade of lighting.
We take for granted our electric lights, windows and skylights to access
the sun’s glow, but for those living in close-together shacks with
corrugated-metal roofs, a stray ray is welcome, and something that can
spread light to the darkest interior corners can be a dream come true.
Here is a short clip on how to make it, Use a 2-Liter Bottle as a 50 Watt Light Bulb::
WHERE TWO OCEANS MEET... BUT DO NOT MIX! INCREDIBLE AND SIMPLY MIND-BLOWING !!!
These two bodies of water were merging in the middle of The Gulf of
Alaska and there was a foam developing only at their junction.It is a
result of the melting glaciers being
composed of fresh water and the ocean has a higher percentage of salt
causing the two bodies of water to have different densities and
therefore makes it more difficult to mix.
This drink was featured on The Biggest Loser along with other weight
loss tips. You should drink at least three 8 oz glasses per day, they
say the longer it sits, the better it tastes. You can eat them as well
but they are intended as flavoring and still work, so that is a personal
choice. The Vitamin C turns fat into fuel, the tangerine increases your
sensitivity to insulin, and the cucumber makes you feel full. Try it
for 10 days and see what you think!
Ingredients per 8 oz serving
Water
1 slice grapefruit
1 tangerine
½ cucumber, sliced
2 peppermint leaves
Ice – as much as you like
Directions
Wash grapefruit, tangerine cucumber and
peppermint leaves. Slice cucumber, grapefruit and tangerine (or peel).
Combine all ingredients (fruits, vegetables, 8 oz water, and ice) into a
large pitcher.
We know that over 20 studies, many of which come from prestigious organizations like Harvard and are published in federal government journals,
have told us how sodium fluoride is crushing our IQ. We know that a
major head at the National Cancer Institute revealed decades ago that
fluoride was causing ‘cancer waves’ in the United States.
So, remind me again, why are we still drinking fluoride in our ‘clean’ tap water around the entire world?
As it turns out, it’s because Harvard and federal government
journalists must all be wackjob conspiracy theorists! The peer-reviewed
research warning that fluoride can cause permanent damage to unborn
babies by affecting their neurological development is all a big
conspiracy theory to the mainstream media. The sodium fluoride that is
literally assaulting the brain in mega-high doses of 5,000 PPM in
‘prescription fluoride’ toothpaste being dished out by dentists who say
their childhood patients are ‘deficient’ in the IQ-destroyer is
perfectly safe in their eyes.
When analyzing the Harvard research, published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives,
a component of the United States National Institute of Environmental
Health Sciences, we find quite a few concerning details. The study makes
it explicitly clear how damaging sodium fluoride can be, with writers explaining:
“The children in high fluoride areas had significantly lower IQ than those who lived in low fluoride areas.”
The EPA had similar statements, demonstrating how fluoride displays ”evidence of developmental neurotoxicity” and can damage unborn babies. We read:
”Fluoride readily crosses the placenta. Fluoride exposure
to the developing brain, which is much more susceptible to injury
caused by toxicants than is the mature brain, may possibly lead to damage of a permanent nature.”
Let’s go even further back to the research of Dr. Dean Burke, head scientist at the National Cancer Institute and
author of over 250 scientific articles. Back in 1977, the decorated
scientist spoke out against fluoride and brought it to the attention of
the National Cancer Institute. At that time, Burke found that sodium
fluoride was fueling the development of cancer cells and tumor growth —
at the average level of 1 PPM. He estimated that around 10,000 had died
from the fluoride-induced cancer from that level.
As I detail in the video below, now we see levels as high as 5,000
PPM in toothpaste, 500,000% higher than the water fluoridation levels
Burke was examining:
I guess no one told the media that even the United States government called for lower fluoride levels after a mountain of research accumulated regarding these links. They must be conspiracy theorists too.
The fact is that the fluoride debate hits a brick wall thanks to the
rhetoric the mainstream media and laughable ‘skeptics’ use by throwing
around terms like ‘conspiracy theory’ to discredit any real debate. In
fact, it’s actually working against them. Right now we have so many
conscious citizens realizing that they don’t want to consume the tainted
tap that it’s really considered outlandish in many areas to drink from
the tap without at least a fluoride-removing filter of some kind. A lot
has changed as more information comes out.
We’ve seen a push for fluoride bans around the world, from Australia’s Queensland to regions within Florida. And the movement has been heating up.
But still, how could we possibly allow this fluoridation to go on for
as long as it has? Even if there was only some research indicating an
issue, isn’t it enough to begin withdrawing it from the water — or at
least enough to conduct more independent research? I think any
reasonable person would agree the answer is yes.
It’s time to accelerate this issue from a tired debate of
‘conspiracy’ theory name-calling to a topical issue we can generate a
victory for. We’ve done it for GMOs; we’ve done it for high-fructose
corn syrup; we’ve done it for BPA. It’s time to blast this information
into the stratosphere and demand action.
