I was speaking with a dear friend recently when we came to the subject of eating real, wholesome food. I found that he had no idea of significance of the letters “GMO”. ( Genetically Modified Organism )
When you visit a natural foods outlet you’ll find many of the packages bear the phrase: “Non GMO”. I’d seen it many times before I read an article that explained the problem in detail. When you really grasp the situation it is actually pretty horrifying. I recommend you do read up on it and then alert thos you care about to do the same in the interest of their well being.
But as my purpose here is to help people rather than upset or enturbulate, allow me to share a solution rather than the problem.
This video is THE most uplifting thing I have seen on the subject and I believe it can inspire anyone that sees it. So enjoy !
If it affects you in a positive way then by all means pass it on.
This piece is one of my favorite clips for its simplicity in showing the fallacy of referring to political ideas as “Right wing”, Left wing”, etc.
Just reduce everything down to two-valued logic and feed it out to the masses as idea A versus idea B and for heaven’s sake don’t give them any ideas about actually doing any thinking for themselves. … Might start giving them uppity ideas of Freedom, or Independence !
You’ve already heard me say how much I love Paint.Net, so there’s nothing new about that. Paint.Net just IS the greatest thing to come along in the last few years, through the hard work of developers Rick Brewster and Tom Jackson.
Just one thing though — while you can do anything you could ever want to with Paint.Net, there is ONE single feature yet missing — Brushes. Go to the Paint.Net Users Forum and you’ll see post after post, asking: “when will there be brushes?” etc.
Well just relax, everyone. Here’s the solution: ArtRage 2.5.
I needed a really good airbrush for a recent client’s job and tried out ArtRage. AWESOME! Not ONLY does ArtRage have ANY type of brush or paint effect you could ever hope for, it costs only $25, and (here’s the great part) you can use it in tandem with Paint.Net. Piece of cake.
ArtRage allows you to create multi-layered files just like Paint.Net and save them as individual files. So you do whatever you like in Paint.Net and any time you desire a brush effect, save the layer as a .PNG image and open that image in ArtRage. When you have the effect you like, Save the ArtRage Layer as a .PNG image.
Bottom line ? Photoshop costs about $400.00. Paint.Net is free. Add ArtRage 2.5 for another $25.00 and you just saved yourself $375.00.
Young Caine: Master, what is the best way to meet the loss of a loved one? Master Kan: By knowing that when we truly love, it is never lost… It is only after death that the depth of the bond is truly felt, and our loved one becomes more a part of us than was possible in live. Young Caine: Are we only able to feel this toward those whom we have known and loved a long time? Master Kan: Sometimes a stranger, known to us for moments, can spark our souls to kinship for eternity.
A friend of mine with a business and technology blog recently drew my attention to the following video.
What makes it striking is that its solution to one of the largest situations facing the planet ( energy ) just happens to ALSO address 3 or 4 OTHER situations ( hunger, pollution, overcrowding & employment)
This is simply brilliant. 14,000 to 20,000 gallons of biodiesel, PER ACRE, PER YEAR, as compared to 18 Gallons (corn) or 800 gallons (palm) ! NO fertilizer runoff. Converts Carbon Dioxide to OXYGEN. Uses less land. Produces Animal or human feed as a byproduct. Is an industry the average guy could do.
