Waterworld" Old wine old bottle... Whear's the beef? What's it made of what powers it? why enclave the city at sea? Build it in the deserts plenty dry there plenty power wind and solar... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1031438/Pictured-The-floating-cities-day-house-climate-change-refugees.html Click here to print
Pictured: The floating cities that could one day house climate change refugees By Daily Mail Reporter Last updated at 2:13 AM on 04th July 2008 At first glance, they look like a couple of giant inflatable garden chairs that have washed out to sea But they are, apparently, the ultimate solution to rapidly rising sea levels. This computer-generated image shows two floating cities, each with enough room for 50,000 inhabitants.
The 'Lilypad' cities would be powered by renewable energy sources Based on the design of a lilypad, they could be used as a permanent refuge for those whose homes have been covered in water.
Major cities including London, New York and Tokyo are seen as being at huge risk from oceans which could rise by as much as 3ft by the end of this century.
This solution, by the award-winning Belgian architect Vincent Callebaut, is designed to be a new place to live for those whose homelands have been wiped out. The 'Lilypad City' would float around the world as an independent and fully self-sustainable home. With a lake at its centre to collect and purify rainwater, it would be accessed by three separate marinas and feature artificial mountains to offer the inhabitants a change of scenery from the seascape. Power for the central accommodation hub is provided through a series of renewable energy sources including solar panels on the mountain sides, wind turbines and a power station to harness the energy of the waves. Mr Callebaut said: 'The design of the city is inspired by the shape of the great Amazonia Victoria Regia lilypad. Some countries spend billions of pounds working on making their beaches and dams bigger and stronger. 'But the lilypad project is actually a long-term solution to the problem of the water rising.' The architect, who has yet to estimate a cost for his design, added: 'It's an amphibious city without any roads or any cars. The whole city is covered by plants housed in suspended gardens. 'The goal is to create a harmonious coexistence of humans and nature.' 'Some countries spend billions of pounds working on making their beaches and dams bigger and stronger. 'But the Lilypad project is actually a long term solution to the problem of the water rising.'And it has the other objective of providing housing for refugees from islands that have been submerged.'
TU Delft recently presented the minute DelFly Micro air vehicle. This successor to the DelFly I and II weighs barely 3 grams, and with its flapping wings is very similar to a dragonfly.
Ultra-small, remote-controlled micro aircraft with cameras, such as this DelFly, may well be used in the future for observation flights in difficult-to-reach or dangerous areas.
The DelFly Micro is a 'Micro Air Vehicle' (MAV), an exceptionally small remote-controlled aircraft with camera and image recognition software. The Micro, weighing just 3 grams and measuring 10 cm (wingtip to wingtip) is the considerably smaller successor to the successful DelFly I (2005) and DelFly II (2006).
The DelFly Micro, with its minuscule battery weighing just 1 gram, can fly for approximately three minutes and has a maximum speed of 5 m/s. Ultra-small remote-controlled, camera-equipped aircraft are potentially of great interest because they could eventually be used for observation flights in difficult-to-reach or dangerous areas.
Nature
The basic principle of the DelFly is derived from nature. The 'dragonfly' has a tiny camera (about 0.5 grams) on board that transmits its signals to a ground station.
With software developed by TU Delft itself, objects can then be recognized independently. The camera transmits TV quality images, and therefore allows the DelFly II to be operated from the computer. It can be maneuvered using a joystick as if the operator was actually in the cockpit of the aircraft. The aim is to be able to do this with the DelFly Micro too.
Miniaturization
The development of the DelFly is above all the story of continuing miniaturisation of all the parts, from the DelFly I (23 grams and 50 cm) via the DelFly II (16 grams and 30 cm) to the present DelFly Micro (3 grams and 10 cm).
The DelFly II drew huge attention in 2006 because it could fly horizontally (21 km/hr) as well as hover, just like a hummingbird, and also fly backwards. The DelFly Micro, incidentally, cannot do this just yet.
In a few years time, the new objective of the project, the DelFly NaNo (5 cm, 1 gram) will have been developed. The Micro is an important intermediate step in this development process. A second objective for the future is for the DelFly to be able to fly entirely independently thanks to image recognition software.

 Fifteen Flower Mandalas
I'd like to take this space to thank those of you who have downloaded my free Fifteen Flower Mandalas screensaver, and particularly those who have written back. The responses so far have been interesting. Until now, I didn't know that people from all parts of the world -- from the tip of Alaska to Cape Town and beyond -- were checking into this blog. That, alone, is gratifying. And I'm grateful to those of you who shared your positive responses to my work, and to those, as well, who have shared their similar struggles with life, death, near-death, and everything in between. It has been, and continues to be, a heart-warming bounty. Thank you.
Several of you have asked me to send you, along with the screensaver, the "meaning" of each mandala. There's no simple answer to this question. I can list the flowers from which they were derived, and some feelings and thoughts that occur to me when I look at them, but I believe each viewer, if he or she meditates on a particular image, will come away from it with a different sense, one specific to that person in that moment.
Here are the flowers. They match up, from top-left to bottom-right, with the mandalas in the above image.
Row 1: Beach Rose, Blue Pansy, Dandelion Head, Daylily (rear view), Dying Amaryllis. Row 2: Galliardia 'Arizona Sun', Iris Germanica, Marigold, Pink Dahlia, Pink Peony. Row 3: Queen Anne's Lace, Violet Morning Glory, White Lily, White Rose, Yellow Lily.
Some feelings I get (now, today): From the Beach Rose, love. From the Blue Pansy, stillness. From the Dandelion Head, rebirth. From the Dying Amaryllis, vastness and motion. From the Galliardia, surprise. From the Iris Germanica, a meeting of masculine and feminine energy. From the Marigold, momentum and stability (the 'flywheel'). From the Pink Dahlia, openness. From the Pink Peony, protection. From the Queen Anne's Lace, playfulness. From the Violet Morning Glory, a holy spirit. From the White Lily, complexity. From the White Rose, transformation. From the Yellow Lily, strength.
What feelings do you get from these images? Let me know, either as a comment to this post or to in the Art, Healing, and Transformation group.
More anon, and thanks in advance for your responses.See you in cyberspace, - David David J. Bookbinder, LMHC Request a free flower mandala screensaver: Fifteen Flower Mandalas

Air Force Advanced Power Technology Office (APTO) Leads Multi-Service Aviation Milestone Event
02/02/2007
|

Robins AFB, Georgia– The Air Force Advanced Power Technology Office (APTO), headquartered at Robins Air Force Base, Georgia recently announced the first military airlift of a fuel cell powered military vehicle. The effort to convert the vehicle was a true multi-service collaboration including the U.S. Army Engineering Research and Development Center/Construction Engineering Research Laboratory’s Fuel Cell Test and Evaluation Center (FCTec), the U.S. Marine Corps, MAG-49 Det Bravo C-130 Airlift Unit and the U.S. Air Force APTO.
The MB-4 Aircraft Towing Tractor, a four wheel drive, four wheel steer, 14,000 pound drawbar pull vehicle was converted from a diesel powered mechanical drive vehicle to a fuel cell powered electric drive vehicle. The integration effort, accomplished by Concurrent Technologies Corporation, Johnstown, Pennsylvania, incorporates a Hydrogenics, Incorporated 65kW Proton Exchange Membrane fuel cell system, Dynetek Industries’ carbon fiber wrap hydrogen storage system and Enova’s Panther 120 Drive System. The combination of these subsystems enables the vehicles towing capacity to remain unchanged, while the addition of a power inverter enhanced the vehicles capability by permitting power generated by the fuel cell to be delivered to aircraft and/or ancillary support equipment.
The vehicle was transported to Hickam AFB, Hawaii by Marine C-130 airlift on the 20th of October, 2006. The vehicle will be put through a demonstration/validation program while in daily use at Hickam AFB.

Military’s Active Denial System is First True Ray Gun
|
John Dodge, Editor-in-Chief -- 3/6/2008 9:24:00 AM

This breakthrough looks like an airport radar except the one rolled out to the media recently is mounted on a hybrid Humvee. The operator sitting in the Humvee lines up the target and fires a 95 GHz blast from a 100 kW ultra-high-frequency radio transmitter.
The sensation at the target up to 500m away is akin to taking a heat blast from an opened “oven door,” according to Marine Corps. Col. Kirk Hymes. “This does not incapacitate them. This pushes them back and out of the way,” he says. As such, the unit promises to be another tool for crowd control or for protection of Navy ships.
“Navy ships have curious onlookers who try to push the envelope. Let’s steer closer to those big Navy ships. But we have a tremendous responsibility to protect the men and women on that ship. When there is mixture of terrorists and tourists and they are not readily moving back, this system can be used to gently push those individuals back.
It does not have a lasting effect,” he says, adding that the weapon’s development really accelerated after the bombing of the U.S.S. Cole in 2000
|
Indeed, the 1 mm radio wave penetrates the top 1/64th of an inch of skin and just down to the nerve endings. When hit, the target moves away from the beam and the sensation ceases. Each blast is four sec and in testing with 600 volunteers and 10,000 exposures, the Air Force, which has developed the technology over the past 15 years, claims there is only one tenth of a 1 percent chance of minor injury such as a blister or rash.
The device comes at a time when the military is serving in a multitude of non-traditional roles such as peace-keeping and humanitarian efforts.
“We have instances where helicopters had a hard time landing to deliver foodstuffs.
Hunger is a pretty motivating factor and if I was senior member of my tribe or clan and I’ve watched my family die from hunger, I’ll do what it takes to get those foodstuffs. How do you non-lethally get them to stand in an orderly fashion so the food can be delivered safely and proportionally and protect those who aren’t in a rush?
If you can target individuals to stay back, leave the area or form and orderly line, it only takes a couple of individuals to be targeted and it says there’s something going on here,” says Col. Hymes.
At the heart of the transmitter is a water-cooled gyrotron developed by CPI Inc. based in Palo Alto, CA. The gyrotron creates the radio frequency beam. The aiming device is comprised of “relatively simple” optics, which look down the center of beam.
In addition to the Humvee-mounted unit, the Air Force has also built one containerized version, which is armored and enclosed to survive rugged environments. Each system costs about $10 million, says Hymes.
Raytheon is the systems integrator.
The testing of the ADS itself has been proven and now focuses on how it can be maintained and operated in challenging environments such as Iraq’s dust and heat.

SUPER-EFFICIENT ELECTROLYSIS
Water can be broken into Hydrogen and Oxygen using electricity. Standard chemistry books claim that this process requires more energy than can be recovered when the gases are recombined. This is true under normal circumstances, but it is not true under ALL circumstances. When ordinary tap water is hit with a series of high voltage impulses, using a system developed by Stan Meyer (USA) and again more recently by Xogen Power (Canada), it splits into Hydrogen and Oxygen gas with significantly less electrical input.
Even ordinary electrolysis can be made more efficient by using different electrolytes (additives that make the water conduct electricity better). For instance, Potassium Hydroxide works better than Sodium Hydroxide. It is also known that certain geometric structures and surface textures on the electrodes work better than others. Stan Meyer used concentric tubes with very close tolerances instead of the standard practice of parallel flat plates.
The implication is that unlimited amounts of Hydrogen fuel can be made to drive engines (like in your car) for the cost of water. Even more amazing is the fact that a special metal alloy was patented by Freedman (USA) in 1957 that spontaneously breaks water into Hydrogen and Oxygen, with no outside electrical input and without causing any chemical changes in the metal itself. This means that this special metal alloy can make Hydrogen from water for free, forever.

"...Water can be broken into Hydrogen and Oxygen using electricity. Standard chemistry books claim that this process requires more energy than can be recovered when the gases are recombined. This is true only under the worst case scenario. When water is hit with its own molecular resonant frequency, using a system developed by Stan Meyers (USA) and again recently by Xogen Power, Inc., it collapses into Hydrogen and Oxygen gas with very little electrical input. Also, using different electrolytes (additives that make the water conduct electricity better) changes the efficiency of the process dramatically. It is also known that certain geometric structures and surface textures work better than others do.

My view of Islam from Ali in Kuwait
- Ros Atkins
- 17 Jul 07, 02:56 PM
Hi Ros and everyone at WHYS.
I am a British convert to Islam (12 years ago). I listen to the World Service and your programme all the time in my car and I can't help but notice how many items concern Islam and Muslims, often in a negative light. This has been disturbing me for some time because I feel that Islam is not being properly presented or understood. I want to hear the good things about Islam presented and debated...
I find all the talk about moderate versus extreme or modern versus fundamental etc quite irrelevant and totally missing the point. Islam is a faith – a belief system based on funda mental principles, doctrines and texts.
At the core is belief in the oneness of God and that Muhammad is His last Messenger. Islam is also a way of life. It is a religious way of life that puts worship of God at the centre.
It makes no sense to talk of "secular Islam". The main objective of the secular movement is to put religion into a box and remove its influence from the core of society. Unfortunately many Muslims are happy to go along with this view, largely because it gives them a good excuse not to follow their religion.
Here are a few examples of the benefits of a Muslim society where Muslims actually practise Islam:
1. It is free of alcohol and drugs and all the related disease, crime, costs etc.
2. The (extended) family is the fundamental building block of society.
3. Women are not exploited as sexual objects.
4. Children respect their parents and authority figures such as teachers.
5. Old people are respected, cared for by their families and not put into institutions when they can no longer care for themselves.
6. People respect each other and each other's property.
7. There is little crime.
8. There is justice.
9. People are honest.
10. There are no homeless people.
11. People do not get into debt by buying things they can't afford on credit.
12. Children have two parents.
13. Orphans are cared for.
14. People put the worldly life in proper perspective, are not beset by psychological problems such as depression and suicide is a rarity.
Nuff said

If this inhibition has no reference to privileges and immunities of this character, but only refers, as held by the majority of the court in their opinion, to such privileges and immunities as were, before its adoption, specially designated in the Constitution, or necessarily implied as belonging to citizens of the United States, it was a vain and idle enactment, which accomplished nothing, and most unnecessarily excited Congress and the people on its passage. With privileges and immunities thus designated or implied no state could ever have interfered by its laws, and no new constitutional provision was required to inhibit such interference. The supremacy of the Constitution and the laws of the United States always controlled any state legislation of that character. But, if the Amendment refers to the natural and inalienable rights which belong to all citizens, the inhibition has a profound significance and consequence.'"

"Who then, it is asked, will pronounce a verdict of guilty upon him if he stops reasoning and follows the first impulse of nature: self-preservation; and further, whether, while technically he is wrong in his resistance, he is not more sinned against than sinning; and yet again whether the guilt of those who voted the unnatural sacrifice is not greater than the wrong of those who now seek to escape by illadvised resistance."

"It is asserted that the right of free speech is a natural and inherent right, and that it, and the freedom of the press, 'were regarded as among the most sacred and vital possessed by mankind when this nation was born, when its Constitution was framed and adopted.' And the contention seems necessary for the plaintiff in error to support. But without so deciding or considering the freedom asserted as guaranteed or secured either by the Constitution of the United States or by the Constitution of the state, we pass immediately to the contention, and for the purposes of this case may concede it; that is, concede that the asserted freedom is natural and inherent...."

"...The law has grown, and even if historical mistakes have contributed to its growth it has tended in the direction of rules consistent with human nature. Many respectable writers agree that if a man reasonably believes that he is in immediate danger of death or grievous bodily harm from his assailant he may stand his ground and that if he kills him he has not succeeded the bounds of lawful self defence. That has been the decision of this Court. Beard v. United States, 158 U.S. 550, 559, 15 S. Sup. Ct. 962. Detached reflection cannot be demanded in the presence of an uplifted knife. Therefore in this Court, at least, it is not a condition of immunity that one in that situation should pause to consider whether a reasonable man might not think it possible to fly with safety or to disable his assailant rather than to kill him..."
- Mr. Justice [Oliver Wendell] HOLMES, U.S. Supreme Court, BROWN v. UNITED STATES, 256 U.S. 335 (1921).

"...What the Court did hold was that the privileges and immunities clause of the Fourteenth Amendment only protected from state invasion such rights as a person has because he is a citizen of the United States. The Court enumerated some, but refused to enumerate all of these national rights. The majority of the Court emphatically declined the invitation of counsel to hold that the Fourteenth Amendment subjected all state regulatory legislation to continuous censorship by this Court in order for it to determine whether it collided with this Court's opinion of 'natural' right and justice. In effect, the Slaughter-House cases rejected the very natural justice formula the Court today embraces. The Court did not meet the question of whether the safeguards of the Bill of Rights were protected against state invasion by the Fourteenth Amendment. And it specifically did not say as the Court now does, that particular provisions of the Bill of Rights could be breached by states in part, but not breached in other respects, according to this Court's notions of 'civilized standards,' 'canons of decency,' and ' fundamental justice.'
"Later, but prior to the Twining case, this Court decided that the following were not ' privileges or immunities' of national citizenship, so as to make them immune against state invasion: the Eighth Amendment's prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment, In re Kemmler, 136 U.S. 436; the Seventh Amendment's guarantee of a jury trial in civil cases, Walker v. Sauvinet, 92 U.S. 90; the Second Amendment's 'right of the people to keep and bear arms..."
"...It was aimed at restraining and checking the powers of wealth and privilege. It was to be a charter of liberty for human rights against property rights. The transformation has been rapid and complete. It operates today to protect the rights of property to the detriment of the rights of man. It has become the Magna Charta of accumulated and organized capital.'..."
- Mr. Justice [Hugo] Black, in dissent, (along with Justices Douglas and Swayne), Adamson v. People Of State Of California, U.S. Supreme Court, June 23, 1947.

""Capitalism is an economic system based on man's right to private property and on his freedom to use that property in producing goods which will earn him a just profit on his investment. Man's right to private property stems from the Natural Law implanted in him by God. It is as much a part of man's nature as the will to self-preservation." (At 560.)"
- MR. Justice Douglas, (in dissent), U.S. Supreme Court, quoting "Arthur J. Hughes' general history text, Man in Time (1964)", in Board OF Education v. Allen, 392 U.S. 236 (1968). Decided June 10, 1968.

"Rights of the citizen declared to be --".
**********
The ONLY time a citizen of these United States can be legally disarmed, is if they are imprisoned according to valid usage of law and then government is obligated to provide protection for them. Otherwise, the citizen is in the state of nature and entitled to be able to defend themselves.
Anything else would be Repugnant to the United States Constitution, and the Laws of God, and Nature.
The perverse usurpations against our Rights, by government(s) that were formed by us. For the express purpose of protecting those very Rights, must cease immediately. All laws that have been passed, regardless of perverse precedence applied. Which are unconstitutional in their nature, must be declared Null and Void, by the TRUE rule of law. Our Freedom, our Liberty, and the very lives of ourselves and progeny absolutely depend upon it.

"This will be the best security for maintaining our liberties. A nation of well-informed men who have been taught to know and prize the rights which God has given them cannot be enslaved. It is in the religion of ignorance that tyranny begins."

"How strangely will the Tools of a Tyrant pervert the plain Meaning of Words!"

"The plain import of the clause is, that congress shall have all the incidental and instrumental powers, necessary and proper to carry into execution all the express powers. It neither enlarges any power specifically granted; nor is it a grant of any new power to congress. But it is merely a declaration for the removal of all uncertainty, that the means of carrying into execution those, otherwise granted, are included in the grant."
- Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution, 1833.
Those whom allow themselves to be governed by fear, will soon find themselves under its absolute rule.

water, the Lilypad will drift around the world following the ocean currents and streams.It will be accessed by three
marinas and will also feature three 'mountains' to offer the inhabitants a change of scenery.Power will be provide
through a series of renewable energy sources including solar, thermal, wind energy, hydraulic and a tidal power
station.The city will actually produce much more energy than it consumes and be entirely 'zero-emission' as all the
carbon-dioxide and the waste will be recycled.
Mr Callebaut added: 'It's an amphibious city without any roads or any cars.The whole city is covered by plants housed in
suspended gardens. The goal is to create a harmonious coexistence of humans and nature.'I think trying to accomodate the
millions of people left homeless by environmental changes will prove to be one of the great challenges of the 21st century.'
Neither the cost of building the city or the cost of living there have been revealed.
According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the global sea level is expected to rise between
nine and 88 centimetres by 2100, with a 'best estimate' of 50 centimetres.This is due to global warming which is causing
the ice caps to melt.
In many places, 50 centimetres would see entire beaches being washed away, together with a significant chunk of the
coastline.
On low-lying Pacific islands such as Tuvalu, Kiribati or the Maldives, the highest point is only two or three
metres above current sea levels.If the sea level was to rise by 50cm, significant portions of these islands would be
washed away by erosion or covered by water. Even if they remain above the sea, many island nations will have
their supplies of drinking water reduced because sea water will invade their freshwater stocks.There are also tens
of millions of people living in low-level coastal areas of southern Asia, such as the coastlines of Pakistan, India,
Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Burma, who would be in danger.
