How the oceans can clean themselves: Boyan Slat at TEDxDelft

Boyan Slat (@BoyanSlat, Delft, 1994) combines environmentalism, creativity and technology to tackle global issues of sustainability. Currently working on oceanic plastic pollution, he believes current prevention measures will have to be supplemented by active removal of plastics in order to succeed. With his concept called Marine Litter Extraction, Boyan Slat proposes a radical clean-up solution, for which he won the Best Technical Design award 2012 at the TU Delft.

Where millions of tons of plastic kill ocean life and poison food chains, Boyan sees opportunities to combat this. While researching ocean plastics during school holidays, he performed analysis on various fundamental topics (including particle sizes, plastic/plankton separation and the amount of plastic in the oceans), leading up to the first realistic concept for cleaning up the world's oceans.

Now a first-year Aerospace Engineering student at the TU Delft, Boyan has always been passionate about applying technology in an original way (at age fourteen he set a world record with launching 213 water rockets), and as an (underwater)photographer and videographer witnesses environmental degradation through his very own eyes.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Mahala ~Mahalas Astrology ~ Planet Alert April

It’s spring and it is beautiful where I live. It’s warm and sunny and the flowers are starting to bloom. The Daffodils are out and the tulips will soon start blooming. I just love spring. It is so beautiful outside that I choose to ignore the energy from the planets and just enjoy nature. The planetary energy is very intense.

This past full moon the Sun, Venus, Mars, and Uranus were all conjunct each other in Aries. This group of planets made a 90 degree angle to Pluto. Mars square Pluto causes impulsive action; power struggles, the need for self-regeneration, and attempts to forcibly remake others. Countries may be aggressive and angry during this period. Power struggles involving political or military affairs are likely at this time. Look at what North Korea is doing. Mars and Uranus together bring explosive, unexpected action.

Mars conjunct Uranus also causes a desire for independence and impulsive behavior. There is a desire to change the status quo, which in some cases can lead to revolutionary attitudes. Look at the actions of the new Pope. I never thought I would see a rebel Pope who wants to change the world and help poor people. And I never thought I would see a Jesuit Pope. Wonders never cease to exist.

Transparency

Sirian Heaven Posted on March 31, 2013 by Sirian Heaven

Reblogged from The Creator Writings:

On transparency; this may be the easiest thing you have ever done but, oftentimes, ends up being the most challenging. Standing in your truth and letting others ‘see’ you for who you are takes a great deal of strength. On the days where you do not feel totally up to the challenge it is OK to remain quiet and peaceful, riding the waves as they come. Always remember, you are loved and appreciated for your courage in being one of the few that step forth first. ~ Creator

Twelve Insight Journal –~I Don’t Have To Think That Way

Larry Larson ~ Twelve ~31 March 2013

When you create with thought—and you are always creating with thought—you develop habitual patterns. Some of these are quite good, you see, and you are quite familiar with them—the blue sky, the green sea, the clouds in the air, the rain that falls. However, some of those patterns you have developed are not so friendly; patterns of poverty, sickness, lack. You can change the patterns at any time that you wish and are willing to take up the determination to do so. They won’t just go away by themselves.

The patterns of thought that are following you about are there because you thought them into being at one time or another. And you can’t just indulge yourself in thinking that way if it’s something that you really want to change in your experience. There are different ways to think about everything, and you are not required to think in any particular way.

You are not required to think about the things that you think are the cause of lack in your experience, as so many of you do. You don’t have to think about anything that causes you discomfort. And you certainly don’t have to indulge in anything like worry. When has that ever cured anything?

The NEPHILIM on the GALACTIC ALIGNMENT in TRUTH

Karen Doonan

We are the Nephilim and we are here to further guide and support as mother earth now aligns fully with ALL THAT IS and ALL BECOME ONE. We draw your attention to the astrological alignments that are coming into place and also the 3D overlay of the EASTER celebrations which are predominant across much of planet earth in your linear waking time frame.

The time of RESURRECTION is upon the human race, those who sought to contain and suppress now realising that there RAIN is now over. Those who walk as our children in human form now taking their places for all is now in position, for ALL ARE and ALL JUST IS. The time of galactic harmonisation between the human race and ALL is NOW. We ask for you to understand the cosmic alignment and the outpouring of energies that will now flood across and within planet earth, helping ALL at this time to release all that no longer serves and to come back into balance and alignment with ALL THAT IS.

7 States Running Out Of Water: 24/7 Wall St.

The Huffington Post-3/30/13, Alexander E.M. Hess

From 24/7 Wall St.: The United States is in the midst of one of the biggest droughts in recent memory. At last count, over half of the lower 48 states had abnormally dry conditions and are suffering from at least moderate drought.

More than 80 percent of seven states were as of last week in “severe drought,” characterized by crop or pasture loss, water shortage and water restrictions. Depending on whether the hardest-hit regions see significant precipitation, crops yields could fall and drought conditions could persist for months to come. Based on the latest data provided by the U.S. Drought Monitor, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed the seven states running out of water.
