The light fantastic: Audio-visual technology in the cloud
Claro Holographic Projection TV with speaker setup
Gizmag - Claro
After the winter of 2010, the storm of the century has been transformed into a minor heat wave - I
begin this new examiner column as the wearing of the Green - St. Patrick's day dawns. Technology is
beginning to surpass the wildest visions of science fiction - it is my purpose to look behind the scenes of
these amazing developments and provide insights into the theory and the technology itself ....the
actual fabric of space time.
This 'ubiquity of audio/visual technology' in its 3G/4G networking glory has many phases. What is the
most remarkable and useful A/V systems that you have experienced - please send me a description. The
role of software in this grand phenomenon will not be neglected....either.
Pittsburgh has undergone a remarkable transformation over the decades and is showing signs of
becoming a 'green community'. As the dark cloud of industrial grit is cleansed from its sandstone
churches, libraries, and monuments - a bright green place with an honorable (if troubled past) has
emerged. This is especially true in the marketplace of ideas where communicating with others is the key
to success. Audio/Visual technologies are emerging on a daily basis - these developments are vital to
realizing the full potential of what the millennial generation (also called Generation Green) know as
cloud computing. The virtuality of cyberspace.empowers the tremendous efficiency and high quality of
communication devices; today social networking networks can utilize audio/visual in almost any form
(live or recorded) from almost anywhere on-demand. This alone is a tremendous accomplishment - but
is only the bottom line here.
One organization that has greatly accelerated this potential is the 1400 member Pittsburgh Technology
Council (PTC) which is helping 'Old Allegheny' which hosted the World's G20 Summit to pay for the
infrastructure changes which make this 'green revolution' so timely.....yet expensive. Recreating the
vital industrial base of the Ohio Valley region is no mean feat but one can tune into the PTC Tech Vibe
radio program on KQV Am 1410 and learn about what is going on - Saturdays at 1 P.M...
If there is to be an economic recovery worth talking about then these efforts and energies need to
become highly focused. To help accomplish this the Pittsburgh Technology Council has founded an Entrepreneur Resource Center designed to achieve success through collaboration, programming and
exposure - coordinated with sales channels and marketing initiatives and funding available through the
Urban Redevelopment Authority.
Green Internet patterns and practices are providing the way to accomplish this; today. The recycling of
electronic devices is a reality in most major appliance 'super stores'. Community relations must be
improved if the potential of this great transformation is to be realized; especially in the vital area of
economic recovery. There is a need to develop community - idea-sharing. This can help to provide the
infrastructure for this. Planning resources are needed to keep regional manufacturers competitive in the
global market. We need to advocate these issues to government and promote action.

How ideas shape visualization rests squarely upon the ethics of using these technologies for economic
recovery - promoting their introduction into the marketplace. This is essential considering the
discreteness of nanoconvergence - nanomaterial’s, bioengineering, information systems and cognitive
science (psychology). The critical paradigms of sustainability; holistic health; and energy efficiency
underwrite this realization - the realization of a bottom line which can reverse the present downward
spiral of economic stagnation and long term debt. People who live in glass houses should not throw
stones is one adage that comes to mind.
This 'quantum leap' must be synchronized with open source education - those who will perform the
work must understand the basic principles they will be using. It is an important point to remember
when considering nanoconvergent technology in the workplace - look before you leap.
Has the storm caused us to pause for a moment of suspense - perhaps some insight from my own recent
audio/visual experience can help. This morning I watched the 1983 release - Koyaanisqati (Life out of
Balance - from the Hopi language) by Francis Ford Coppola after attending a heartwarming movie - The
Last Station about Tolstoyan society the night before. Changes as vast as the apocalyptic vision of
Koyaanisqati become expedient for survival or as sublime as the messianic one of The Last Train depict a
serious contrast. What can help us 'keep it together' in the immense journey of life and hopefully anchor
our soul. The light fantastic does not have to be a vision of doom - this much generation green and its
millennials are proving....even in the face of our world's biblical proportions.
The Hub - Mobile Infrastructure - Optical WIFI system and Human Ecology
As a student at Penn State University in the days of Jimmy Carter I experienced a rejection of my ideas
and theories......little did they know - they were not my own. One thing I did not forget - the spirit of
cooperation in spite of criticism; could not deter me from seeking to get Mr. President to sign a bill
which was passed by the Congress in 3 separate administrations - The Rural Abandoned Mine Program It eventually became the Superfund Project. Yesterday Congress passed a comprehensive Health Care
Bill 219-212 in spite of massive campaigns to prevent its passage......health care needs 'rapid
development' of existing technologies.
Real reclamation began within a year of the Presidents signing of the bill and its 35 cents a ton tax on
Coal was more than adequate funding; yet our project had scarcely finished before the Treasury Dept.
impounded our programs funds...and it wasn't until 2002 when Ed Rendell became the Pennsylvania’s
Governor and sued the Federal Government to recover the reclamation funds that recovery and 'healing
of the land' continued. The Superfund sites will receive the management that they require to complete
the job of Environmental Protection. Costs may be a real question here; how would you solve this type
of geophysical information gathering operation?
During this time I also experienced a profound conversion - to seek God emphatically in my life - now
today I can understand what it means where it is written - "Eye has not seen; neither has any ear heard the things that God has prepared for those who love him. The power of light should be taken
seriously....Here are laser powered photonic systems which may provide some insight into how these
systems work.
Here are a few new technologies which will greatly affect they way we live and work:
The Wi-Fi connection in the HUB-Robeson Center at Penn State proves that networks in the future could
use lighting systems to help transmit data (Images: Penn State). This virtual networking with in house
infrastructure points to ambiance with environmental resources. University engineers have developed a
system where a high-powered laser diode transmits data by converting electricity into infrared
light, This wireless optical system offers one gigabit per second transmission. Is this an example of
Human Ecology.
Wireless Gigabit Alliance (WiGig) has announced the completion of its unified wireless specification
which provides data transmission rates of up to 7 gigabits per second – more than ten times that of
current 802.11 Wi-Fi. “When we launched the WiGig Alliance in May, we announced our plan to
complete the industry’s first unified 60 GHz specification by Q4 2009, and we are proud to deliver on
this promise to the industry,” said Dr. Ali Sadri, president and chairman of the Wireless Gigabit Alliance.
“We’re rapidly paving the way for the introduction of the next generation of high? performance wireless
products – PCs, mobile handsets, TVs and displays, Blue ray disc players, digital cameras and much more.”
Super symmetry is the paradigm of convergence - Mobile Infrastructure developments prove this.
At present, Light Blue Optics has a lab-based demonstrator, which converts a standard composite video
signal into high-quality 2D holographic video, in real time. The hologram generation engine runs in a
commercially available FPGA (field-programmable gate array) chip, whose design extends naturally to
cheap mass production. Other processing platforms including low-power digital signal processing (DSP)
ICs are also under development. Blue SCENAR Technology is available right now......the device had its
lineage as part of the Russian Space Program led by Dr. Alexander Karasev who invented the SCENAR, or
Self-Controlled Energo-Neuro-Adaptive Regulation technology. Scenar has been aptly compared to
the 'TriCorder' device of the entertainment medias 'STAR TREK' program.
Summary Results of 50,000 Cases in Russian Literature Percentage Success Rate by Category
1. A device for monitoring, treating and alleviating non-specific disease, injury or handicap by supplying
low-level electrical energy to the body system in a form that may reduce pain, edema and inflammation
in a manner that allows the natural resources of that body to restore homeostasis more rapidly than if it
were left alone......(by) electrical action on the skin surface activating tissues in the "somatic and
autonomous" nervous system...(leading to) the possibility of a therapeutic effect in addition to
mediating pain by the production of endorphins. In simple terms Scenar Treatment is currently
permitted to claim positive efficacy for pain relief and pain management for to use in all countries in the
European Union, and is a 'safe device'.
The fields of Integrative Medicine advocates SCENAR…..see this website.
Building a Enterprise level Business Intelligence system has taken on added dimensions. Holography and
Photonics are converging rapidly with highly developed Virtual Reality Systems to enable technical
training in 'real-time' without the hazard of real world consequences - thereby facilitating education and
training. It's use in remote diagnosis and treatment is thought to be limited at present; due to lack of
experience and professional level certification
Scientists don't fully understand how consciousness works
Physorg.com
Petroleum has become obselete; audio/visual enthusiasts should be telling the story to your friends and
colleagues. The economic law of 'free market capitalism' demands competition to control inflation and
its greed. America is not a free market system or our economy would be in much better shape than it
is. Waste not - want not! One on-line solution which is available now is - "Better Place delivers the
network and services that make an electric car affordable to buy, easy to use, and amazing to own.".
Counterfeit intelligence agencies inform the public that nanotechnology is 'years away' and 'not yet
practical'......nothing could be further from the truth. Audio/Visual networking technologies have been
using it for many years; sustainable energy technologies like wind, solar, wave and hydro are using it at
an ever accelerating pace - yet America's main stream economy is a decade away from implementation;
Green Building Technologies hold the promise of 500 Billion dollars a year income - where are they;
Internet technologies hold the promise of much more - yet according to a recent Pittsburgh Post
"Gazette article;
FCC (Federal Communications Commission) ignores its own study (Berkman) in plan for Internet
Future......"if open access is the key to how so many countries solve the problem of Internet Access and
Speed, it makes no sense to ignore it ". This phenomenon goes back to the Railroad Trust of "The
Robber Barons" which Buckminster Fuller decried in his book - Spaceship Earth; 40 years later his work
with the 'quanta' is yielding technologic innovation on a global scale. As a man thinketh; it is written perhaps most people just don't understand these things properly. Think globally - act locally.
"The main message to emerge from all these studies is that when it comes to mesoscopic scales,
common wisdom has to be revised, i.e. the 'rules of the game' concerning textbook electronics have to
be rewritten. From the more applied point-of-view this field constitutes the basis for future micro- and
Nano-electronics." Yuval Gefen - Dept. of Condensed Matter Physics
History is revealed - like the layers of an onion being peeled. Keystone Research; in their 21st century
economic development policy advocates that good jobs and strong industries are developed at home
not by providing 'expensive subsidies' to foreign industries. Developing new companies must be the
first priority of local and state government - here in Pennsylvania. Audio Visual communication systems
are a logical candidate for this and their supporting nanotechnogies as well. Cloud Computing is another
mega-development area - consulting; implementation; conversion; training and general education are
all global developments which require local presence. The failed strategy of the FCC and their 'National
Broadband Plan for the future of the internet' will need to be overcome; strategically. Convergence in
the fields of Quantum Computing, Holographic Systems, and Photonics is providing the tools and
concepts necessary for innovation - Laser technology and electrical power systems are another
area where development is mandated.
I am watching the Charlie Rose show on PBS - he is using A/V teleconferencing technology to facilitate
collaboration for a series of Programs about 'The Human Brain' - this installment is about 'Aging and the
Brain'. Aerobic exercise and intellectual activity help to overcome the symptoms of aging is one
consensus of opinion which this group of experts reached. My research into what is termed 'Quantum
Consciousness' agrees with this prognosis as well - QC is problematic to say the least;
So far, no classical theories can explain consciousness in the brain. In light of this lack of understanding,
some researchers suggest that quantum mechanics may play a significant role in the workings of the
mind and the brain. Quantum consciousness theories have always been controversial, and now a recent
study has undercut one more component of these proposals.
Wi-Fi Connection and the potential of Audio/Visual Mi-Fi
Thanks to Verizon and Novatel Wireless for developing the MiFi 2200 Mobile Intelligent Hotspot
It sounds like a nursery rhyme - come and Wi-Fi - I got the MiFi for my 5; but this technology is not
designed only for the simple minded but is complex adaptive; a true multi-faceted
system. Infrastructure and Software Platform Architecture are going to need careful consideration
before implementing - planning is a must. The new electronics have created Cloud Computing and
realized a new concept -Ubiquity - WiFi is the fabric of the cloud. The key to utilizing this technology is
to count the cost of what you already have and decide where you want to go - or need to go in the
future; even today.
Pittsburgh was one of the first major cities to adopt the cloud as a service to its visitors and citizens; this
shows that people here are interested in technologic innovations - in the marketplace. The region is
also becoming a member of the green cities 'PERMACULTURE' phenomenon - which will fulfill its cultural
history in a practical way......the garden party and the building trades workers will co-exist in an aura of
cooperation and commonality. Audio/Visual Technologies are hierarchical and admit to the same
gimmickry and collusion as the rest of the marketplace with one vital difference - they are an integral
part of the communications technology now reaching their full development potential; evaluating them
as part of green tech is important as well.
The WebCam, Texting, VoiceIP, and file sharing have given Teleconferencing an aspect of Live
Collaboration - messaging from anywhere at virtually anytime - in virtually any mime format; the merger
of wireless and Bluetooth capabilities make Mobile Networks 'ubiquitous'. This quality enables live
communications and interactivity from remote areas - but not anywhere; of course (you may need a
satellite 'uplink' to complete the teleconferencing; and the cloud grows daily and it's data tsunami too.
Data throughput is an important aspect of Cloud Computing Networks
It's estimated that a single smart phone generates 10 times the volume of data traffic than a
conventional cell phone while a laptop generates a whopping 1,300 times more.
A new report from Cisco (now doing its own market research and analysis because it can), forecasts
that mobile data traffic will double every year through 2014, increasing 39 times between 2009 and
2014, reaching 3.6 exabytes per month by 2014. And over 60 percent of the world’s mobile data traffic,
they say, will be IP-based video.
Wii - From Wikipedia Nintendo Wii Gaming System with Wii Sports… see this video (see Appendix)
The Wii (????, pronounced /?wi?/, like the pronoun we) is a home video game console released by Nintendo. As a
seventh-generation console......as of March 2010, the Wii leads the generation over the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360
in worldwide sales, in December 2009 broke the record for best-selling console in a single month in the United
States.
Virtual Reality and Photonics –the new electronics
virtual reality system
A computer-based system that interacts with the user to create a three-dimensional, artificially
simulated world that appears "real.'' Through the use of head-mounted displays, wraparound screens,
audio synthesizers and computerized gloves with sensors, the user can manipulate his/her surroundings
using voice commands, head movements, finger pointing and other natural gestures; it also is called
cyberspace.

Virtual Ambiance – ethereal generation – energy flow RCA's Airenergy charger is a virtual energy
'Harvestor' but works remotely providing electronic energy converted from infrared power sources to
cellphones and other 'smart devices'. PDC innovations continue and are accelerating daily - as 3G/4G
networks are empowered; Fiber Optic technology is beginning to reach its full potential this e factor
(Exabyte) is what global networking faces. Information intelligence is a systems operation in which Info
Channels use this new 'unified' protocol and electronic paradigms are developed to conserve bandwidth
and energy usage. Then green IT will be a reality. Systems are the children of this information age and
as the millennials take the stage of human development their importance in maintaining the large
economic infrastructure will increase dramatically.
What does the average PDC cellphone include as main features........power management; video and still
camera; memory and file storage monitoring; IP smart phone; text messaging; application services
synchronization with holographic projection capabilities, IT help desk connectivity w/ Mobile Web
collaboration capabilities. All this at one's fingertips - programmable webcams that support network
equipment?.....that may be needed for large scale projects. Mobile Networks utilize the 802.1 - 802.11n
or whatever.....the unified communications protocol will eliminate a lot of guess work - one to many;
one to one; many to one; many to many such that troubleshooting your networks A/V capabilities will
become the "hidden manna"; this cloud has a silver lining [fabric} - get it.

The Power of Green Technology
Solar power is efficient for everyday use - big changes are taking place in the economics of scale aspect
of the global market place - In Australia for example Technique Solar's expansion into partnership with
public utilities has provided the capital for rapid expansion of an important new technology. Consider
that audio/visual cyberspace is a parallel development to eco-friendly 'green' technology; now beginning
a powerful 'across the board' convergence with it. Another example of public - private partnership
transforming infrastructure to ultra-clean and efficient technologies is ‘Better Place - an Electric car
system’ designed to conserve the power grid; end petroleum dependency and provide optimum
transportation services.
National economies develop industries based upon competitive advantages; local expertise and the
quest for excellence. In one sense this reality has not changed - in another sense; the information age
and communications in 'the global village' have leveled the playing field especially in high tech
industries. A local company - Calgon Carbon Corporation, headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is
a global leader in services and solutions for making water and air safer and cleaner. As the world's
leader in activated carbon technology and with ultraviolet light disinfection and oxidation expertise,
Calgon Carbon Corporation has pioneered leading-edge purification systems for drinking water,
wastewater, odor control, pollution abatement, and a variety of industrial and commercial
manufacturing processes. Pittsburgh has a mandate to upgrade its waste water collection system - the
traditional shovel and dump truck approach is prohibitively expense; ultra filters and companies like
Calgon hold the key to correct the problems and do so without digging up the city again.
Green Building Technologies are also analytic; elimination of negative energy and energy technologies is
both efficient and effective in maintaining long term healthy living conditions for your family and
community as well. Here is one from EXTECH which the Green Building Industry recommends as an
assessment project.
EMF/ELF Meter - Detect and measures EMF - Electro-Magnetic Field | EMI - Electro-Magnetic
Interference RF and ELF. Electromagnetic fields are known to cause health problems and interference
and other electronic equipment. With the CellSensor you will be able to detect and the measure
electromagnetic fields - to find sources to avoid or the cause of interference.
Audio/Visual Hardware is becoming more efficient energy wise and more powerful in terms of capability;
making a remote workplace like the home - an economical and effective choice for conservation. In the
workplace energy efficiency and optic resolution have made a quantum leap.....inquire within.

Let your light shine - a good friday message on holography
4 leaf clovers are extremely rare; so it takes patience and time to find one. Beginning my Examiner
column on St. Patrick's Day has proven to be fortuitous. It is written in the Book of Genesis - man is
made in God's image; after his likeness the human family is formed...so the Bible says and in this
Passover/Easter season - 2010 (the earliest for Easter in a 250 year time cycle) a resemblance which
many are taking seriously. Today is good friday - a solemn day to remember; Jesus is quoted as
admonishing - 'be children of the light' and even states in the gospel of John that: 'God is light'.
My hometown of Pittsburgh is known as a leader in business and technology innovations; especially
where 'the cutting edge' is concerned....and of course this is true of many other places in the world many of whom are partners with corporate entities in this area. Holography is no exception.
The Future Lies in Holography
"PITTSBURGH -- Small and round, it provides enjoyable, crackle-free, crystal-clear sound, and it set off an
acoustic revolution 25 years ago: the first pop CD to be made from Bayer Material Science's (BMS) hightech material Makrolon([R]) polycarbonate (PC) was ABBA's album "The Visitors" in 1982. The compact
disc produced the songs of the Swedish cult band in a sound quality that was totally new at the time, so
that this shiny object totally changed the international music industry.............Researchers at BMS are
already working with companies such as InPhase Technologies of Colorado on holographic storage
media (manufacturing partner: Maxell) which are set to continue the revolution in digital data discs. The
new disc type - called Tapestry(TM) - has a capacity of 300 gigabytes and is currently in its test phase.
Unlike a conventional CD or DVD, data is no longer written and read bit by bit, but stored in the form of
holograms, i.e., in entire data blocks all at once. This means that the read/write process can be
accelerated many times over."
"Digital in-line holography with numerical reconstruction has been developed into a new tool,
specifically for biological applications, that routinely achieves both lateral and depth resolution, at least
at the micron level, in three-dimensional imaging. The experimental and numerical procedures have
been incorporated into a program package with a very fast reconstruction algorithm that is now capable
of real-time reconstruction."

a lens to visualize the world
All you need to project a 3D holographic image:
The TransScreen™ 3D holographic projection screen
Your high contrast video shot against a black background
Your display area with low to medium ambient light
Your projector yielding 2000 ANSI lumens or more
Tangible hologram projector - 06 Aug 2009
A pure and clean energy movement
Researchers at the University of Tokyo have developed a holographic projector that displays three-dimensional virtual objects
you can feel with your bare hands. Compare this technology with Wii and Microsoft Surface and we have another superb tool
for our audio/visual toolkits.
Holographic audio/visual communications are actually highly developed - many developments are being perfected
currently. The use of light as correspondence for representation needs interpretation and study - as Hillel aptly stated;
"The world stands on three foundations - on study; on service and on benevolence." c/o Bnai Brith Hillel Foundation
The new metaphysics and its Quantum Field Theory depends upon interpretation of physical phenomena - here are two:
Interferometric microscopies - from Wikipedia - see also Broadband Beam Sampler
The hologram keeps the information on the amplitude and phase of the field. Several holograms may
keep information about the same distribution of light, emitted to various directions.
Dynamic holography - from Wikipedia as well
In static holography, recording, developing and reconstructing occur sequentially and a permanent
hologram is produced. There also exist holographic materials which do not need the developing process
and can record a hologram in a very short time. This allows one to use holography to perform some
simple operations in an all-optical way. Examples of applications of such real-time holograms include
phase-conjugate mirrors ("time-reversal" of light), optical cache memories, image processing (pattern
recognition of time-varying images), and optical computing.
An upcoming article will present an acoustic lens which is designed to improve ultrasound and materials
science instrumentation. These powerful implications also serve to 'magnify' a biblical prophecy - 'they
shall beat their swords into plowshares - their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not more lift up
sword against nation - neither shall man learn to make war any more."
Putting it all together - what is your 'green energy' idea?
This is my seventh article - what has been presented........audio visual technologies are an enigma to the
common man. First of all they are far more advanced than 'science' will admit to and this is because of
confusion concerning the actual theory of their operation. As this moment of history becomes more
meaningful to the global village - these 'advancements' are seen in a sublime light:

Neuropathic - Scenar Therapy (using biorhythm feedback)
Wi-Fi communications - cloud computing's silver lining

Economic Stimulus using private - public partnership networking
nanoconversion - new features for 3G/4G unified networks
The Pittsburgh region and Pennsylvania in general are blessed with the planning infrastructure
to facilitate this kind of economic development. The Pgh Business Times reports that Idea Forge and
Digital Greenhouse have 'landed' state of Pennsylvania 'Community and Economic Development' funds
to help local entrepreneurs to plan for this hoped for recovery. Here are a few well developed ideas
from Pure Energy Systems and its 'Congress'.
As the American nation and
its Appalachian region mourns the loss of coalminers in yet another disaster - a moratorium on ideas
and concepts of science is in order.....because obviously one side of this argument is right and the other
seriously wrong. There is incredible potential for right action.
The spirit exhorts us to 'godliness' and rebukes the seven deadly sins that plague all earthly enterprises including social networking - be conscientious in how you use these powerful audio/visual tools and
communication skills; some would exploit human weakness to temptations of 'the flesh' in order to
fleece the unsuspecting.....overcome these impulses and use these technologies for the good of all
yourself included. Send me your idea for a green energy project and I will present it as an examiner
article.
As the millennial generation takes center stage
As the McNeil Report on PBS aptly identified and Morley Safer of 60 minutes proclaimed - the
millennials are taking 'center stage' in history - a positive admonition like 'good and faithful servant' can
easily be applied - especially in their response to the global economic and ecologic crisis. On daily basis
new and incredibly amazing technologies are unveiled - ones that utilize the abundant resources
available to everyone - the oceanic realms and the daily sunshine which lights everyone's path in our
'diurnal' world. Word up - green energy; as even Word Girl would agree; is a quality of conceptuality
and design. Human flight and mobility are two objectives of people since ancient times - here are two
giant steps that are happening today.
Gizmag (gizmag.com) is an excellent source for info about these new technologies. The Solar Impulse
HB SIA fulfilled its moniker of solar powered airplane on its maiden flight over Payerne, Switzerland. Yuji
Fujimura and his concept Electric Bike Version 2 has proven that convergence is the rule not the
exception - his design pictured above includes a charging station for electronic equipment - making the
owner of the bicycle a mobile audio/visual studio on the scale of the common man. New concepts
require new designs - often.
This is a long term development scenario - looking at the explosive growth of 3G/4G technologies one
thing becomes evident - all of the major players in the PDC/mobile phone market are offering great
advancements in functionality - across the board; yet there is little difference in these features - why is
this. To this observer the reason must lie behind the scenes at the research and development
level......and how can a global phenomenon like this be so focused. Think globally - act locally; the
unified concept of quantum physics is responsible for the quality of this convergence - no doubt.
Realization of the economic benefits - especially on a large scale; is a matter of planning, strategy,
political support and an intangible quality of desire - which in a community results in dedication to the
purpose of success. My hometown of Pittsburgh which is a cornerstone of many developing industries
has in recent times failed to realize the benefits from important technologies developed in this region:
Skybus......which was realized by the state of California as B.A.R.T. (Bay Area Rapid Transit) was a major
development effort of the public/private partnership between Westinghouse and local government. An
experiment in mass transportation - it was a physical success but never allowed to develop beyond that.
Continuous Caster......an essential improvement in the steel making process - 80% more efficient than all
of the other steel making processes combined. It was sold to China....for a swan song.
Silicon Wafer Solar Power Generation.....another Westinghouse project in partnership with the federal
government which is only now 10-15 years later being developed on a large scale.
There are many more of course.....some even more important perhaps that these but they point to an
establishment of 19th century technologies - which even in their most modern instance cannot claim to
meet the demands of 21st ecologic and economic problems. One idea which has developed through the
failure of the ominous 'old boys network' mindset is the Digital Greenhouse and Idea Factory produced
through a trust which has worked consistently since the earliest dawn of the American Revolution - in
the spirit of entrepreneurship which Benjamin Franklin exemplified. Economic Recovery in a country
like the United States is not a mean feat.....it will require change from the very ground work of
society.....even unto its highest branches. It will also require tough decision making concerning obsolete
technology and redundant financial structures......reenergizing America is a 500 billion dollar
opportunity........across the board.
MAC vs. PC; in general things mix - Pittsburgh Universities and the global village
The new second law of thermodynamics states - In general things mix.
One thing that the developments in computing over the two decades which history deems - the
millennium; is that the new 2nd Law of Thermodynamics has been proven - ubiquitously. A new theory
of electronics is being written - but not into textbooks; rather in the global marketplace of
ideas. Originally the Apple Macintosh was the cornerstones along in spite of its competitor the so-called
'micro-computer' which Microsoft utilized to more fully develop the Xerox company's Graphic User
Interface using Berkley's 'nebulous' operating system now called Windows. Today nearly 3 decades later
- who could have predicted the results?
Kyoto Institute of Technology introduced a new photovoltaic cell that is capable of generating electricity
not only from visible light, but from ultraviolet and infrared light as well. Quantum films (using quantum
dots) can image scenes with more pixel resolution, according to their inventors, InVisage Inc., offering
four-times better sensitivity for ultra-high resolution sensors that are cheaper to manufacture.
Apple’s new iPad has already generated an impressive inventory of accessories - this provides Mac users
with a dedicated wireless platform for the new unified protocol. The itab is sitting there waiting to help
run through a song with you, providing a prompt or helping you learn - the iTab songbook is a
performance tool.
The Digital Greenhouse and its association with the Pittsburgh Technology Center are the product of
high level collaboration between the elite universities of the world......the University of Pittsburgh and
Carnegie Mellon University have continued a partnership which spans many decades but today is
become a virtual global campus with campus outreaches on many continents......this effort is focused in
the Pittsburgh area on the medical profession and the implementation of the Human Genome Project
and the development of bioinformatics to give it commutative expressivity. However this global
development has also spawned the advent of bioethics to challenge many of its Genetic Engineering
products - it has also failed to produce economic recovery locally.
Using your Audio/Visual tools to communicate
The communication possibilities today are absolutely without measure - it is possible to provide eye
witness type communications from virtually anywhere and in almost any format required. Once again
the Pittsburgh community is making a lasting impression - mainly on the stage of public/private
partnership in 'venture capitalism'. Innovation Works according to Tech Vibe radio on KQV 1410 AM has brought nearly 3/4 of a billion dollars to the Pittsburgh region; much of it going into the industrial
mobile robotic field. This is servo-mechanical systems thinking at its very best.....global economic
development in robotics shows not signs of subsiding. However there is a strict division when applying
these concepts and ideas to living systems where purpose is found - here is an 'on-line' book which deals
in much more depth with these 'age-old' ideas.
HTC alternative – here is an excellent review of one aspect of choice in the 3G/4G networking tools.
HTC Desire vs. Sony Ericsson Xperia X10
iPad Launch Party
Here is an example of this technology – the mobile web; which is available off the shelf and free of
charge via Windows Live literally from a walk through the woods straight onto the internet.......To save a
special natural sanctuary where people can walk their dogs and enjoy the joy of a natural habitat at any
time of the year.....is very important - that is why American Indian Ethics require that each of us thinks
of seven generations when we make decisions about 'Mother Earth' and her children.
I am not a reactionary; so as a progressive I am sorry to learn that Westinghouse is being revived but not
as the cutting edge technology provider that it’s history recounts but as a servant to the fossil fuel
industry in its interfacing with Power Utility Industries. This is sad – not only because of the lost
opportunity for real progress that this usurpation of purpose envisions but also because of the waste of
talent and elite resources which carbon based fuels represent.
Newton's cradle – this child’s toy inspired a technologic innovation of the first magnitude
Researchers at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have built a device that produces highly
focused, high-amplitude acoustic signals dubbed "sound bullets."
"Called a nonlinear acoustic lens, the device could produce acoustic images superior to conventional
medical ultrasound imaging, probe for damage in the interior of nontransparent objects like bridges,
ship hulls, and airplane wings, and be used to develop non-invasive scalpels."
This ‘quantum effect’ is also found in classical physics as well – the difference being linear vs non-linear
and the use of ‘phonon ‘ energy – acoustic waves focused by a composite lens – the construction
engineering and design concepts of which coalesce into an important instrument for many different
kinds of analysis – essentially ‘materials science’ and ultra-sound imaging.
10 technologies that will change the World - this list is not the technology which I would choose to
actually change the world - because it requires a fundamental departure from the ground state of
nature and its bounteous goodness. Also I believe that many traditional interpretations of quantum
physics and classical physics as well are simple wrong - and this idea is not my own but the same
argument which the founders encountered in the development of our modern technology.
I like your smiling face - appreciation for the millennials
The beauty of the internet and its cyberspace is that seeing can also be believing - these developments
which are being revealed for practical use are only the sign of what lies ahead. It is also important to
realize the historical perspective of green energy as well; this could save us the trouble of expecting too
much when what is being offered is truly sufficient.

A trusted spiritual leader once confided in me - "I would rather be alive now; than at any other time
period in history." Of course everybody should feel this way - but the present moment reminds me to
appreciate why I believe in the first place. The things that have been shown in the first ten articles are
indeed true and no less compelling as every day passes - no kidding; a vision of the future is being
presented - in real time. If we want to add some audio affects for your listening pleasure they click on

Green Energy is a concept based upon the idea that light is most sublime - the idea of a Green
Generation - for: none is too young and no one too old.........everyone belongs. Write a song - tell a
story; join a spiritual cause - save yourself and the ones you love; this is your acceptable duty - like
joining the Coast Guard or dedicating oneself to a more perfect understanding of things in general. My
general theme topic of Pittsburgh Audio/Visual Examiner requires me to 'examine' Pittsburgh - an era is
passing slowly in my home town; it causes me some emotional pain to consider what could have been few remember that Buckminster Fuller
The Igloo as it was 'christened' - is a Geodesic Dome the Fairhaven Greenway
and his Geodesic Dome were the vision behind the Civic Arena - "some want to save it' - with this
'new quantum technology' this could prove expedient. Just make sure that you plan for its use in your
networks of the future - economy and efficiency may well prove to be the keys to financial survival.
The Tech Vibe Radio program once again delivered something to think about - if economic recovery and
future developments are important to you. The reason why quantum physics and its nanotechnology
are producing these inventions is the perfection of abstract concepts – which utilize physical perfection
as well......the concept of convergence. ''The legacy of Westinghouse is still an important part of the
Pittsburgh research and development scene - specifically in the realm of "thin film coatings" and as Mr.
Lesker advised the listeners "now remember - these films are measured in Angstrom units - that is one
t/1,000,000th of a millimeter - the technology that produces this technology is a great accomplishment
in itself - Lesker's Vacuum System is advancing Quantum Science by leaps and bounds with nearly
30,000 products worldwide at this writing. So when we go to sleep tonight say some prayers for the
23,000 people working on the Deepwater Horizon Disaster - their fathers and grandfathers might have
listened to Zenner and Fuller (in some cases they did).......subsequently a lot of waste would have been
averted and conservation used wisely and profitably. Conflicts based upon need and greed would be
relegated to the realm of "to be forgotten" but not until this immense crisis and its cleanup is complete.
I don't want to appear facetious - but the future is now
It is not a good thing to 'rub salt into the wound' - if petroleum is indeed an impediment to progress and
if recent history is a good measure - extremely dangerous for this planet's well-being. Deepwater
Horizon like the Exxon Valdez and numerous oil spill disasters worldwide actually needs intercession by
the U.S. Congress to insure that BP will 'soak up' the entire cost of their disaster in the Gulf of
Mexico. Catastrophic events like this ongoing disaster (generating the greatest cleanup response in
history) happen because 'powers that be' in general mismanage the risk involved by pretending that it
doesn't exist or is somehow less than it really is. The truth about BP and its relationship to the drilling
company () accentuates this lack of vision and lack of respect for proper safety and operational
safeguards - costing 14 men their lives. The future is now - the global village needs to greatly
accelerate the conversion of transportation and power production into sustainable and manageable
technologies - these technologies are available today.
The GM EV - concept car is needed NOW
Nanotechnology mimics platinum Feul Cell
Bioenergy is the bottom line for this green technology - can you believe it..........there is transportation
technology which is based upon the concept of photosynthesis - here is a quote from the GIZMAG

a truly harmonious co-existence between man and Nature,” Dr. Liu Qihua of SAIC's Shanghai Automotive
Technical Center said to the journalist.

The Pittsburgh region knows all about Energy and its Greed - being victimized by King Coal these nearly
two centuries......dirt is not air; fire is not necessarily light. The world needs to learn and understand the
difference.
Mr. President - your re - election is looking dim
The old Iroquois legend of Hondegayas (Conotocarious) is certainly true of the “Millennium Presidents”

decisions based on ‘misinformation’ generated by their political opponents. Know your enemies?
Mr. President taking the oath of office. United Press International UK Guardian
According to legitimate sources the Deepwater Horizon disaster was committed with deliberate
intent. Our president Barak Obama doesn't want to understand this - while he is busy trying to change
traditional morality for our military (which is already quite liberal for a Christian nation) the same
criminals who have failed the American people for the past 150 years have once again using the
Executive Branch of government as a shield (immunity from prosecution) for their crimes and as the lead
financial source for just retribution for their incompetence. Mr. Obama has been given a golden
opportunity to change the course of history – one highlight is emerging; he has ceased from pandering
to the ultra-rich and will change financial accountancy - for the better. Mr. President here is a message
from the 'trenches' - of the war against environmental degradation:
Hold BP, Halliburton and TransOcean Fully Responsible For the Gulf Oil Catastrophe
Barak Obama will be defeated in the 2012 elections if he continues to pursue his current course of
decision making - even though his presidency shows great promise. BP and Trans-Oceanic could have
prevented this incident - which will become one of the worst ecologic disasters in our planets tragic
history - the question is why the government allows them to get away with it. Regarding Israel - it is
written "I will bless those who bless you but I will curse those who curse you!" - It is also written - he
who touches Israel touches the apple of God's eye.
Super Nova 1987a is a 'cosmic event' which corresponds to the millennia celebrations
Pittsburgh has been the source of some 'counterfeit intelligent' over the past few decades but has
succeeded in protecting its roots by preserving the first newspaper of the 'west' - The Pittsburgh PostGazette; where this author's father worked - for 50 years as a pressman. The head of the Ohio
Valley region is today noted for its parochial attitude towards justice and provincial political graft - but
this was not always the case. If Audio/Visual collections are any consideration of history then Drop of
Light Communications has a small collection of historic DVD's that give insight into the early and ongoing
history of this region which includes both the Indian People - colonial powers and the American
revolution......A new book on this subject - The Point of Pittsburgh: Production and Struggle at the Forks
of the Ohio By Charles McCollester for the sake of argument this excellent work can be compared to
another one which includes this 'hidden manna' - essential history; Wampum Belts and Peace Trees
(Hardcover) by Gregory Schaaf. Obama made a good show at the G20 conference even if it were for
show.......the proverbial ‘third world’ can be encouraged and find some help on this horizon.
History in a world such as ours is a contentious subject - the question of America and its secret
government will one day - be a serious bone of contention; too bad that the criminals who run this
harlequin charade will never be brought to justice; not earthly justice anyway.
The new metaphysics requires a quantum leap in reasoning

One adage of the American Indian people which is found in other cultures as well is the idea of "don't
judge another person until you've 'walked a mile in his moccasins (shoes)." This article from Gizmag
illuminates the present moment in history superbly - yet man has his feet in quicksand. Just like what
happened on millennium day 2000 the ecologic disaster known as Deepwater Horizon keeps attention
focused upon the failed policies and technologies of the past.....let us not be fooled by the 'God of this
World' - read the Book of Job (not written by the children of Israel - but adopted as a testimony of God's
love for everyone).........by Jove. The millennia are real - time is no illusion; put your trust in the Lord
while he still can be found.

An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth
Down through the ages an adage of the ancient world has caused tremendous grief to the human family
- 'an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth'; Messiah himself commented upon this passage from the
Torah (or Books of Moses). Yeshua advised those who trusted in him to 'turn the other cheek' and to do
good to those who hate you and spitefully use you.....for of such are the children of god. This 'millennial
moment' so to speak is bringing forth the fulfillment of both the Torah and the intercession of Messiah.

scientists reporting development of a Nano-sized dental film that may bring diseased teeth back to life.

Synthetic cornea offers hope to thousands
By Tannith Cattermole
The specifications for a synthetic cornea are precise: the synthetic material must bond with the cells of
the surrounding tissue, but it must not bond in the middle optical region of the artificial cornea. The
outer side of the cornea must moisten with tear fluids and allow the eyelid to slide across without
friction. Any deviation from these specifications would decrease the effectiveness of the cornea, impair
sight, and perhaps require a new prosthesis after a short time.
Donor corneas are extremely rare, but for 40,000 people in Europe corneal transplantation from donors
offer the only hope of addressing blindness in one or both eyes. That was, until Dr. Joachim Storsberg of
the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Polymer Research IAP in Potsdam-Golm created the first artificial
cornea, which has been successfully trialed and has been in use now since 2009. For this contribution to
medical science, Dr. Storsberg has been awarded the 2010 Joseph von Fraunhofer Prize.

Amazing how republicanism seems to adversely affect the American Workplace - the Obama
administration is learning how to use political pressure to get Congress to act upon the problems which
are affecting the greatest numbers of Americans and can also resolve long term problems which are
capable of preventing a full economic recovery - like Financial Reform. Stuck on stupid; big oil says no to
green jobs. Thanks for answered prayer on this well cap holding.
This author is happy to report that the capping of the deepwater horizon's undersea gusher is a good
omen for what philosophy has long considered as 'consolation'. There is nothing good about this
disaster - it may serve to make people aware of the need for change but it has also wasted valuable
human resources in the development of the new green technology. This technology outclasses its 'rust
belt' precursors by leaps and bounds - on a daily basis the saying "eye has not seen neither has any ear
heard what God has prepared for those who love him' is proven on a great and diverse panorama of
social and political fronts - transportation; communications; energy production; medical practice - etc.
etc. My theory is that this is about the Millennia - here is a new book to consider.

A true 3 dimensional Viewer is in development - no special glasses or need to stand like a statue.
The key to Microsoft's experimental system is a peculiar lens that projects the light toward a viewer by
switching on and off light-emitting diodes placed along its bottom edge. Thanks to an optical trick, light
enters through the bottom edge of the lens and then refracts within the lens itself to reach the desired
angle, after which it's finally sent to the viewer. This method also means that unlike traditional
projectors, the structure — including the lens itself — is thin and could be embedded into a standard
LCD display without too much hassle.
This is a great wonder indeed - but how does it compare to thousands of lightening bugs illuminating a

group of young adults attended planning rule public sessions, followed developing issues, and then
provided some input of their own. Through their diligence and proactive engagement, some of their
concerns have made it into the draft planning rule. Read more »

Phipps project green heart || sustainable-landscaping || eco-design
A greener greenhouse. Pretty obvious, right? But when Phipps Conservatory began planning a three-phrase, multiyear expansion at the turn of the new millennium, "green" building principles and practices had not yet reached
broad public awareness. No model existed for how a major public garden could integrate sustainable building
design, construction and operation into a long-range master plan.
Like many other gardens, Phipps was planning to update the visitor experience and support facilities in our 100+
year-old institution. Initially, the idea of going green was not part of the design. Inspiration to create one of the
world's most energy efficient and sustainable conservatories came from the region's main "green building"
pioneers and advocates. Read more about how Phipps took the lead in this "green" revolution.
Hot off the presses……conservation gets a major boost
In this case Generation Green began as a club chapter at the South Lake Tahoe High School – soon the
Forest Service in its need for people who have both a love for nature and a sound understanding of
living and working in areas where as the 1964 Wilderness Act states – “man is a visitor and does not
stay”. Naturally Lake Tahoe adopted its Generation Green youth with open arms and in the space of
two years had accomplished more with this cooperative effort than 25 years previously......no kidding.
This program is a model which should be adopted across America if not the world.....few would argue
that most young people have little respect for the natural world or desire to care for it.....this is obvious
not only in the state of natural habitats which are not cared for directly by government authorities with
police powers or underfunded and poorly managed. All of the work of conservation is profitable:
seventh generation is one excellent example of this - every aspect of conservation can become efficient
and profitable.....the advent of nanotechnology in biofuels production will insure that this relationship
will remain strong for the foreseeable future – the prevention of forest fires; the improvement of
ecologic quality in prime natural habitats are a first order priority for everyone who breathes oxygen and
needs clean pure water for their health and wellbeing.
The future belongs to the young – this is proverbial; Green Energy Technology and Environmental
Conservation go hand in hand........if our great country is to reach its true potential Generation Green
and its spirit of cooperation and hands on training must be promoted and allowed to succeed – not only
for forest management but for the other changes which our economy must undergo if it is to survive in
the rapidly changing world marketplace.......we have the ideas – now let’s go..
What exactly is Generation Green - our most valuable resource!
Slideshow: Jewel of the Sierras - Generation Green
Last summer I had the opportunity to work with the U.S. Forest Service at their Lake Tahoe Basin Mgmt.
Unit in South Lake Tahoe California. The program was a summer camp for the Central California
Consortium’s Generation Green Program. This was no ordinary program but a cooperative effort
between over 300 conservation organizations and the Forest Service to preserve “The Jewel of the
Sierras” – Lake Tahoe. As the focal point of one of North Americas most diverse and spectacular geologic
areas. Its great natural resources offer breath taking wonders to all ages and recreational energies.
These kids had a perfect attitude about their mission of ecologic improvement and fire management
projects. The most incredible and amazing thing about this program is the cooperation with other really
great programs in this area and region - is light years ahead of anything in the rest of the world;
including the impressive cleanup of the Deepwater Horizon disaster. Lake Tahoe is one of the most
lucrative resort areas on earth - this alone puts an incredible stress upon the natural buffers of its
pristine Alpine environment.
In this case Generation Green began as a club at the South Lake Tahoe High School – soon the Forest
Service in its need for people who have both a love for nature and a sound understanding of living and
working in areas where as the 1964 Wilderness Act states – “man is a visitor and does not
stay”. Naturally Lake Tahoe adopted its Generation Green youth with open arms and in the brief space
of two months had accomplished more with this cooperative effort along the California - Nevada border
than 25 years previously......due to lack of comprehensive cooperation. This program is a model which
should be adopted across America if not the world.....few would argue that many young people have
little respect for the natural world or desire to care for it.....this is obvious not only in the rundown state
of natural habitats which are not cared for directly by government authorities with police powers or are
generally underfunded and poorly managed. All of the work of conservation is profitable: seventh
generation is one excellent example of this - every aspect of conservation can become efficient and
profitable.....the advent of nanotechnology in biofuels production will insure that this relationship will

This may be deemed 'way above my head' or sound 'intellectual' but how nature and its ecology manage
to survive and succeed in ever changing environmental conditions and climates is important to every
living things survival. Adaptation is the key - it is more than just knowing the parts of something but
how those parts work and interact together.

successful adjustment.
The success of the Deepwater Horizon cleanup effort reminds me of an experience I had last summer at
Lake Tahoe on the California/Nevada border in which all of the issues of today came into a clear historic
perspective. Here is the story in a more compelling form.
Many computer gurus have discounted the idea of artificial intelligence as self-supporting; yet this
generalized response is due more to the avowed purpose of scientists and engineers to build an
android robot which can think and act independently - much like a few humans do; than the true
potential of 'intelligence' in all of its many and variegated modalities. For anyone who read my book
and was appalled at all the errors - I humbly apologize......here is the completed version.....Including the
entire historic period which one might call 'the millennial jubilee'.. Ambient Intelligence and the natural
world is a profound revelation - bioethics required.
It is also an important part of the basic programming that allows all computer languages to function in
the common ground of cyberspace - this language conceived of and developed around 1975 is termed
C++ - this 'CODE Language' 'supports' nearly every major language - Perl; java; net; visual basic; python
and so forth execute and run upon it.....one of the paradigms of this C language is Ambiance - which is
the quality of defining how your program will interact with other cybernetic entities.

Ambiance is such a great idea - too bad it is so poorly understood and appreciated as a concept which
makes life both enjoyable and worthwhile. The living world we inhabit provides this for everyone.....the
failure to recognize this relationship generally leads to violence and destruction.
City Councilman Doug Shields today introduced a bill that would ban Marcellus shale drilling within
Pittsburgh's borders, potentially setting the stage for a legal fight with gas companies. The very idea of
fracking the environment of Pennsylvania and the Appalachian Area in general is the greatest mistake
that the idiotic people of the United States have ever made - this is because of the failure to realize the
potential of green energy - especially as a means to redeem the American Economy from its premature
death. A very good video about this phenomenon - Coal Country speaks volumes of what Marcellus
shale fracking will cause.
Intelligence has many facets - perhaps a better way to think about computers and audio/video
networking is information intelligence. It is also written - be not deceived; God is not mocked.....for
whatever a man sows - the same shall he reap. In many ways the U.S. energy production is such
mockery.
The United States government has been deceiving its people since its inception hence the saying of
Abraham Lincoln and his Gettysburg address......in the Pittsburgh region this deception is in the
depiction of Marcellus Shale as somehow beneficial to our economy - this is the biggest lie for many a
year. Destroying the geologic foundations of the world we live upon in order to 'loosen' more carbon
based fuels is not only very dangerous but almost suicidal......Fracking as this process is called is one of
the most dangerous technologies to ever develop.....the federal government claims to have no
information about it - but has 'scheduled' studies...........even while it is being implemented. Just like the
lies about Coal usage in the previous generation - fracking will prove disastrous to what is left of the
viable environment.
A fractal is a complex shape which, when viewed in finer and finer detail, shows itself to be constructed
of ever smaller parts, similar to the original. Just as a stone at the base of a foothill can resemble in
miniature the mountain from which it originally tumbled down, so are fractals self-similar whether one
looks at them from close up or very far away.

Researchers regenerate nerve connections after spinal injury

PTEN - mTOR dynamic ontogeny of the nervous system - complex adaptive system
Christopher and Dana Reeves Foundation has announced a major breakthrough - about two percent of
Americans – more than six million people – have some form of paralysis resulting from spinal cord injury,
which is due primarily to the interruption of connections between the brain and spinal cord. Such
paralysis and loss of function has long been considered untreatable, but a new approach has, for the
first time, induced robust regeneration of nerve connections that control voluntary movement, showing
the potential for new therapeutic approaches to paralysis and other motor function impairments and
offering hope to sufferers.
Dynamic Interaction of an Integrated Doubly-Fed Induction generator and a Fuel Cell connected to Grid
For the past decade, the deregulation of the electric power industry has created an environment where
traditional generation is being reexamined and new forms of generation are being created. Most likely
wind turbines and fuel cells will be the dominant grid connected distributed generators. This paper
proposes a novel integration of a doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) and a fuel cell. With the
proposed scheme, it is possible to inject power from a DC power source like a fuel cell into the AC grid
without using an expensive inverter. The fuel cell is connected across the DC link of the back-back
converters of a DFIG and power from the fuel cell is either injected into the generator or the grid
depending upon wind conditions and energy requirements at the site. This is achieved by a low voltage
DC link which also results in considerable savings. Dynamic models of DFIG and fuel cell have been
derived which are used to simulate the proposed integrated system. Vector control schemes to operate
the DFIG both as a power source and as an active filter compensating for harmful harmonics generated
by non-linear loads are described. It has been shown that active and reactive power generated can be
controlled. Power factor correction and reactive power control can also be achieved. Complete system
has been simulated in Matlab/Simulink. Simulation results showing interaction of DFIG and fuel cell with
the AC grid have been presented. Power flow between these systems has been analyzed
New-catalyst-makes-electrolyzers-more-efficient
Although wave power is attracting a lot of attention as a renewable energy source, it is possible to
generate power from still water. All you need is electrolyzers, which separates water into its two
components, hydrogen and oxygen, then feeds them into a fuel cell. Electrolyzers, however, require
catalysts to get the process rolling. While hydrogen production catalysts aren’t much of a problem, the
platinum catalysts used for oxygen production are expensive, don’t last very long, and the creation of
them incorporates toxic chemicals. This Monday, however, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
(MIT) announced the development of a new oxygen production catalyst that is 200 percent more
efficient than platinum. The nickel-borate-based catalyst has been licensed to Sun Catalytix, which is
hoping to be producing safe, super-efficient electrolyzers within two years.
What is a fractal? Here are some definitions:
1) A shape that can be repeatedly subdivided into parts, each of which is a smaller copy of the whole.
Fractals are generally self-similar and independent of scale.
2) A fractal is a geometric object which is rough or irregular on all scales of length, and so which appears
to be 'broken up' in a radical way. Some of the best examples can be divided into parts, each of which is
similar to the original object. Fractals are said to possess infinite detail, and they may actually have a
self-similar structure that occurs at different levels of magnification.
3) A term coined by Benoit Mandelbrot in 1975 to refer to items with fractional dimensions as opposed
to the integer dimensions such as 1, 2 and 3 associated with length, area and volume. This term is often
used to refer to a structure bearing statistically similar details over a wide range of scales. Fractals
describe shapes that are "self-similar" -- that is, shapes that look the same at different magnifications.
To create a fractal, you start with a simple shape and duplicate it successively according to a set of fixed
rules. Oddly enough, such a simple formula for creating shapes can produce very complex structures,
some of which have a striking resemblance to objects that appear in the real world.
4) Fractals share holographic properties.
5) A geometric shape or pattern that is self-similar and has fractional dimensions. Natural phenomena
such as the formation of snowflakes, clouds, mountain ranges, and landscapes involve patterns. Their
pictorial representations are fractals and are usually generated by computers. They are repeated at
every scale and so cannot be represented by classical geometry. Fractals have statistical self-similarity at
all resolutions and is generated by an infinitely recursive process. An algorithm, or shape, characterized
by self-similarity and produced by recursive sub-division; more generally the branch of mathematics
named and explored by Benoit Mandelbrot.
6) Fractals are like clouds. When looking at the same cloud some see flowers, others may see bunnies,
or Viking warlords frolicking in the snow. Each person sees something different. What do you see?
the enigma of metaphysics - directly engineering the ambient potential of the vacuum
Adding Whittaker's engineer-able hidden variable theory to classical electro-magnetics, quantum
mechanics, and general relativity produces supersets of each discipline. These supersets are joined by
the common Whittaker subset, producing a unified field theory that is engineer-able and tested.
Examples of fractal properties - From Quantum Theory Made Easy (part one):
Quantum physics
"....shows that we cannot decompose the world into independently existing smallest units. As we
penetrate into matter, nature does not show us any isolated 'basic building blocks', but rather appears
as a complicated web of relations between the various parts of the whole. These relations always
include the observer in an essential way."
Chaos theory
“The fractal geometry of chaos theory offers a curious picture of wholeness, rather than sheer disorder
or perfectly crafted design -- something between symmetry and anarchy: broken symmetry. These
fractals are like the fragments of a shattered hologram. If a hologram should be broken into pieces, an
approximation of the whole picture could still be seen in each of its many shards. Woolley suggests that
the universe is like the many fragments of a shattered hologram, and scientists can discover secrets of
the whole "enfolded" universe by examining these fractured crystals that are "unfolded" and
consequently accessible to our investigation. Holography, like fractal geometry, is of great practical
value in the compressing and decompressing of digital data and images.
Let's take a moment to regroup. There should be some sense of non-local connection emerging here
entangling Dali's illusions, fractals, spirals, holograms, compaction's dimensions, encoding, symmetry,
asymmetry, broken symmetry, stereograms, and all those ideas yet to materialize. Chaos puts our
fragmented world back together as a crystal of broken symmetries with many facets -- as fractals . We
must come to appreciate the mystery of the diamond mind, which attains its true beauty only when it is
broken by the hand of an artist. These swirling images of the whole raise us to dizzying heights, but the
wholeness we experience is not the limitless expanse of the universe, but a passageway through
creation in which we also have a hand to play.
From Fractals In Nature:
Most mathematics that we study in school is old knowledge. Around 300 B.C. a mathematician by the
name of Euclid organized the geometry we have been studying this year in class. You can thank him for
all the beautiful postulate and theorems that we now have in our math toolboxes. Much of fractal
geometry, however, is new knowledge. Fractal geometry and chaos theory are providing us with a new
way to describe the world. Many objects in nature aren't formed of Euclid’s squares or triangles, but of
more complicated geometric figures. Many natural objects - ferns, clouds, seashells - are shaped like
fractals. Fractal geometry is a new language used to describe, model and analyze complex forms found
in nature. Chaos science uses this new fractal geometry.
How it all works:
The basic technique of these fractals can actually be explained without resorting to confusing
mathematical equations and jargon. It's rather simple, really.
First, give every point on the screen a unique number. Now take that number and stick it into a formula;
you'll get a result from the formula. Take that result and stick it back into the formula. Keep doing this
and watch what happens to the numbers you get. Color each point based on what happens.
That's it. Really—that's it. Now, with most formulas it probably won't do much of interest, but with the
formulas used in fractal creation, some interesting things happen. Sometimes the numbers you get by
feeding the results of a formula back into the formula (iterating) explode into enormous numbers, that
just keep getting bigger and bigger. Those points get colored one way. Other times, the numbers "home
in" on a number, getting closer and closer to it. They get colored a different way.
The interesting thing—and the reason fractals work at all—is that sometimes, just a tiny little change in
the number you start with can completely change what happens as you keep iterating the number. And
the boundary between numbers that explode and numbers that home in is complicated and twisted—
it's the shape of the fractal.
The enormous task at hand:
Calculating fractals this way involves a lot of work. A small fractal image—perhaps only 640x480—
contains over 300,000 points. Each of those points may require running a number through the fractal
formula more than 1,000 times. This means the formula has to be computed more than three hundred
million times. And that's a mild example. Extreme images (such as poster-size fractals) can involve more
than one trillion calculations. Fortunately for the impatient among us, modern computers are fast
enough to do the job in a few minutes. Large fractals might take hours or days, but exploring fractals has
never been easier.

Ambient Intelligence and the cloud: don't think twice - it ain't all right
One Oxford Centre - Pittsburgh's Tammany Hall Credits: Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Corporate greed has won the day in America and the 'writing is upon the wall' for our future. Diebold
voting machines; untimely death of up and coming political leaders and a generalized inability of the
American people themselves to use their own memory to discern the truth. Pittsburgh Pennsylvania is
no exception to this rule the difference is that freedom has provided an opportunity to make a
difference - out of internet pages of the millennial generation has come the astounding truth of what
the 19th century discerned as quantum physics.
Here is another insight into the truth of this new metaphysics and its relationship to everyday life.
Plastic solar cell technology - with advanced production this technology should be a great success - or
will it?
This spray on technology utilizes the very heart of nanotechnology - single walled nanotubes copolymer
composites provide the nanostructure to embed organic solar cell technology into the substrate - ideal
for rooftop installations using microwave induction into the 'power grid'. What does this have to do
with audio/visual technology - the quantum dot; no less will boost the efficiency of this system beyond
what 'dirty coal and their oil industry masters' can resist the implementation of - 30% of solar radiation
is infrared (heat) this technology will work even on cloudy days. This 'thin-film' technology can also be
used a 'tinting' for windows.
For you gamesters - here is a new board game which demonstrates the fundamentals of magnetism and
superconductivity for educational fun. Ambiance is ambient intelligence - plain and simple; what the
millennia have wrought who can put asunder.......here is my real email address for those who what to
assail these far out ideas. Is it an insult to think that solar photovoltaics where available over 50 years
ago and the U.S. government has been concealing it ever since. Has anyone ever considered that the
reason our government is in constant turmoil is that we are actually broke and the national debt is much
larger than is generally realized. America does not need another bloody tea-party but a green
revolution which the millennials have worked diligently to produce............this alone can 'turn the tide' and 'save the day'.
I like your smiling face - your baby can read; WYSIWYG
A good friend of mine once wrote - we must protect the lens through which concepts are visualized. I
am convinced that the new technology for learning entitled - Your Baby Can Read; is a major step
forward in helping children to lead more positive and emotionally fulfilling lives. Here is a literal
smorgasbord of audio visual offerings which promote this viewpoint.
One stipulation at Examiner.com is that my articles should include information about Audio/Visual
technology in Pittsburgh; presently the best I can do is present 'The City of Champions' in a surprising
guise; as a champion of Green Building Engineering - a positive effort is being made to change course in
time for a quickly arriving future which is not necessarily 'progressive'. A small city would hardly seem
the candidate for being a champion of spectator sports in which the 'big buck' normally rules.....yet if
spirit is any indication of results - a can do attitude and an open mind to truth regarding change makes
this city a winner - in spite of itself.
When speaking of spirit - it is normal to consider religious beliefs; America itself has the advantage of
being the cradle for the spirit of brotherhood known as The Brethren......this is where unity is restored
from within the various sects in a 'community of good will'. Some have tried to exploit this spirit for
political power and monetary gain - the warning from the euphamous War on Terror resounds.
"Evangelicals and Catholics Together: The Christian Mission in the Third Millennium" is a document
which promotes a global viewpoint but fails the test of being antichrist in practice. The reformation of
the church occurred following the failure of the crusades and its domination by the social elite; 500
years ago. Well Paul of Tarsus admonished The Romans - "Faith comes through hearing and hearing by
the word of God." Today the failure of this war on terror is evident - it proves the theory asserted in
the Canadian documentary, The Corporation, that the "personality profile" of a corporation is akin to
a psychopath’s, and in this alleged case, an intensely predatory and depraved one (quoted from
Jeremy Scahill). One such corporation is the Global entity - Halliburton; sometime termed 'The
Octopus'. Spiritual truth is not served by deceit.
The First Letter of John - Chapter 2
Little children, it is the last hour: and as ye heard that antichrist cometh, even now have there arisen
many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last hour. 2:19 They went out from us, but they were
not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us: but they went out, that they
might be made manifest that they all are not of us. 2:20 And ye have an anointing from the Holy One,
and ye know all the things. 2:21 I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because
ye know it, and because no lie is of the truth.
Jesus told His disciples... "The Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will
teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you." Romans 8-11 also
relates......And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ
from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies ...
“51 ¶ And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his
face to go to Jerusalem, 52 And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a
village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him. 53 And they did not receive him, because his face was
as though he would go to Jerusalem. 54 And when his disciples James and John saw [this], they said,
Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did?
55 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. 56 For the
Son of man is not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save [them]. And they went to another village.”

In the rapidly development world of audio/visual technology - the old saying "you ain't seen nothing
yet"; is highly appropriate!
Next - the 4th dimension begets a fifth
You have entered the 4th dimension
The audio/visual field has truly entered the 4th dimension - 4 G networks and true 3D and holographic
imaging capabilities make this new technology imposing......in classical terms TIME is integral to the 4th
dimension (unlike the tradition depth breath and height) but is considered to be SEPERATE from
it........ethereal and ephemeral are concepts relating to this understanding yet there is much more to
it.....as we shall see.
Ethereal Vs. Ephemeral (as design engineers like Buckminster Fuller propose) a quote from someone
name McAuliffe: Or even better the artwork of New Century Artist Stephanie Joyce.
"Ethereal means roughly, spiritual or lacking material substance. It could be immaterial, depending
on the definition. Ephemeral signifies lasting only a short time."
Things that lack substance and things that don't last very long (duration) have an inimical relationship in
the 4th dimension....their properties provide a conceptual foundation for the 'high abstractions' of
quantum mechanics and its Theory of Everything.....scripture defines this relationship in the book
of Hebrews 11:3:
New International Version “By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so
that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.”
New Living Translation – “By faith we understand that the entire universe was formed at God's command,
that what we now see did not come from anything that can be seen.”
The ‘mind’s eye’ is an idea of value which folklore provides – “Ethereal, ephemeral, a bit abstract and
faintly disturbing, a length of rope, floating, caught in suspension, between the depths of the water*
and the reflection of the clouds; ethereal and ephemeral are two words I easily confuse, but it doesn’t
matter here, either will do.” Fractal geometry can handle these perceptions - one historic example is
"How long is the Coast of England" - the question becomes "who weighs the anchor for your soul".
The ancient greeks considered Aether (classical element), a concept, historically, used in science (as a
medium) and in philosophy (as a substance)


Aether theories in alchemy, natural philosophy, and very early modern physics which suppose a "fifth
element"
Aluminiferous aether, in early physics considered to be the medium through which light propagates
Nanotechnology and its new theory of electronics utilize both concepts as aspects of 'condensed matter
physics'. A component level model of these new developments helps to define some very interesting
metaphysics.
An ancient word with interesting correspondence with this 'ambient intelligence' is Syzygy - defined
as: In broadest terms, syzygy (pronounced /ˈsɪ.zɨ.dʒi/) is a kind of unity, especially through coordination
or alignment, most commonly used in the astronomical and/or astrological sense.[1] Syzygy is derived
from the Late Latin syzygia, "conjunction", from the Greek σύζυγος (syzygos). One obvious
differentiation would be system and gyroscope.
An ephemeral (short-lived) port is a transport protocol port for Internet Protocol (IP) communications
allocated automatically from a predefined range by the TCP/IP stack software. And likewise the Ethereal
Analyzer is a professional level tool for Information Technicians or IT Agents.
Last but not least - hats of to the New York Jets who actually played our Pittsburgh Steelers one heck of
a game; the difference was the one thing the Steelers are really best at - the goal line stands.....pass the
football instead. Today the 4th dimension has empowered the audio visual platform with an a new first
- full High Dynamic Range (HDR) video system; it emulates human vision and provides the ambient
aspect of depth perception to one and all. So enjoy.
The Fear of God is the beginning of wisdom
It becomes more obvious with every passing day - the 'hand writing is on the wall' for America. Whether
it is the vitriolic rhetoric of the nation’s radio 'jocks' and their republican hogwash or the absurd
immorality of the T.V. and cable networks - the proverbial ax is beginning to fall. It is time to 'seek the
lord' while he can be found; Messiah prophesied of the days we are living in - as our millennial
celebrations become 'cosmic events'. The terrible destruction known as 'super outbreaks' are increasing
in their frequency of occurrence.....the earthquakes in Chile and Northern Japan are events which are
events which are in extremely 'diverse places' - yet their magnitude is of most intense. Al Gore's
victory in the 2000 presidential race is beginning to condemn our entire electoral process. Remember to those who overcome Messiah will find a place for them in his kingdom - this is recorded in the
Gospel. Thankfully - many are overcoming this world.....relief efforts are saving lives and speeding the
recovery process - alternatives to our wasteful economy are on line and becoming reality on a daily basis
as well - this is a praise to our creator; our Heavenly Father.
This relationship can presents difficulties’ - one of which my hometown of Pittsburgh seems adept at
providing honorable resolution for. The relationship between Truth and Justice is inimical.....truth is not
a matter of debate for decision by some kangaroo court of public opinion but a matter of investigation;
conviction and the ability to accept one's errors and admit when they are wrong. Kudos to the Steelers
Rashid Mendenhall who fairly exercised his constitutional right to express his dissent about what seems
like an ill-advised raid on Pakistan in order to kill a wanted terrorist - this individual and his role in the
arena of 'Islamic jihad' is a matter of great differences of international reporting - only a neutral
international court would be able to identify and investigate the truth of these diverse reports.
Pittsburgh was also the regional site of the world's first commercial nuclear reactor at Shippingport, Pa it was based on the original Thorium technology and its 25 year life span was without major
incident......Could the Fukushima Nuclear Disaster have been prevented - Yes! Remediation of ground
water; agricultural areas and the site itself will take a long time - but thankfully this effort is in direct
conjunction with the implementation of Layered titanate nanofibers - and other Nano technology
designed to increase the effectiveness and speed of environmental remediation which must take place
there. Thorium is a relatively safe nuclear fuel - known about for a decade before the advent of reactors
which could produce plutonium. Thorium is a naturally-occurring, slightly radioactive metal discovered
in 1828 by the Swedish chemist Jons Jakob Berzelius, who named it after Thor, the Norse god of thunder.
It is found in small amounts in most rocks and soils, where it is about three times more abundant than
uranium. Soil commonly contains an average of around 6 parts per million (ppm) of thorium. Thorium232 (Th-232) decays very slowly (its half-life is about three times the age of the Earth) but other thorium
isotopes occur in its and in uranium's decay chains. Most of these are short-lived and hence much more
radioactive than Th-232, though on a mass basis they are negligible.
The Generation Green program has a junior level companion developing in various communities
throughout the world....Pennsylvania is one which is promoting it as an environmental education
alternative. The PEAK (Promoting Environmental Awareness in Kids) program is the result of a unique
partnership between REI (Recreation Equipment, Inc.) and the Leave No Trace Center ... The Outdoor
Ethics Center is the host of PEAK.
Some wonder about 2012 and its significance - Galactic Solstice 2012 - the idea of a 'magnetopause' if
extremely important to understanding anything as immense as 'universal convergence'. My opinion is
put your trust in God above.....this moment of joy and inner healing will hopefully enrapture you
The Fifth Dimension is for real - can you feel it
Humans have been described generally as having 5 senses - taste touch sight hearing and smell;
however these powerful senses have an allie; the mind and with our mind dimensions and other
physical qualities are perceived.....some say that people have the ability to utilize a sixth sense (second
sight) as well - this is a matter of spiritual sensibility.
In case you haven't noticed the world seems to be speeding up.....and with it disasters and upheavals of
great magnitude; these things were foreseen millennia ago - some call this 'visionary intelligence' believers understanding it as the 'office' of the prophet; who serves to set the tabernacle with God (as
mankind's creator) in harmony with time itself; as the consequences of man's actions become history
and history moves on to its millennia. Prophecy is a gift that must be scrutinized very closely in that
even God warns - many false prophets have spoken lies and given false reports.
Doomsday thinking did not originate with 'The God of Heaven' - whom scripture reminds: "is the God of
Truth". Scripture reminds us of his many virtues......recently the term merciful comes to mind and also
omnipotence as well. On June 9th of this year the largest solar flare ever seen erupted from the sun; it
was perfectly polarized albeit no significant harm was done......this scale and magnitude remind us of
the Book of Job and God's compassion towards those who suffer because of this dynamic world we
inhabit.

Technology is not all that different in its developmental aspects and general usefulness. In previous
articles I have presented the new nanoelectronics in the context of how it is being used - 'in reality';
today. People are realizing the ramifications of these incredible accomplishments and are asking the
right questions as well......The fifth dimension can be simulated by interfacing 4G networks and the new
3D virtual imaging systems with (for example) nuclear medicine (diagnostic aspect) in the case of:
1. Justice In The Brain: Equity And Efficiency Are Encoded Differently
ScienceDaily (May 10, 2008) — Which is better, giving more food to a few hungry people or letting some
food go to waste so that everyone gets a share" A study appearing in Science finds that most people
choose the latter, and that the brain responds in unique ways to inefficiency and inequity.
2. The Semantic Web is more than computer programming......
Is there something more valuable than knowledge acquisition? How about wisdom acquisition? What
is wisdom? Which semantics can capture it? What is the role of metaphors in wisdom?
3. Is mind a higher order of nature?
The "Now" state of consciousness will be referred to as the, "sixth sense" in this document. It is a
concept wherein resides a sixth sense which combines all 5 senses to create a higher level of awareness
and consciousness. Athletes refer to this sense as "The Zone", Special Forces Military Groups call it
"Deep Situational Awareness" and religions call it "being in total connection with the holy spirit", God,
Finding that "Zen State" in Eastern practices, or in other cases speaking tongues sparks the sixth sense
mode as well.
The Truth is far more all-encompassing than the mind could ever comprehend. No thought can
encapsulate the Truth. At best, it can point to it. For example, it can say: "All things are intrinsically
one." That is a pointer, not an explanation. Understanding these words means feeling deep within you
the truth to which they point.
The mind’s relationship with ‘Consciousness’ also transcends ‘the understanding’. One way to
understand this ‘contingency’ is to look at how this word and its cultural expression affect traditional
philosophy.
These quotations from the internet are presented as is under the fair use statuettes and are in harmony
with other ideas and concepts of mine that I have present here and elsewhere
9 for 7 - what must Obama do to come out the winner in 2012
I watched a DVD on my portable player the other day entitled The Spectre of the Spectrum.....it dealt
with a lot of 'scary' things which 'science' has inflicted upon humanity in its service to greed and power
madness. Science also is the spawning ground for charlatans and con men of every type and description;
but as all know - true science in the service of humanity can make life better and work less arduous and
tedious. Yet; the attempt to 'play god' and experiment with the very substance of reality has wrought
many a tragic result - nuclear fission and its radioactive byproducts are a prime symbol of this
'dangerous tendency'. The current situation in Japan following one of the most powerful earthquakes in
recorded history - and subsequent coastal inundation caused by a 30 ft. high tsunami wave cresting
a well-constructed 30 foot high barrier because the earthquake lowered the entire coast by a full 3 ft. (in
some areas 6 ft was reported ). This terrifying situation resulted (at Fukushima) in more than 10,000
deaths - the greatest crisis in the nuclear power industries less than illustrious history. The reliance of
Japan upon this technology seemed quite wise for many decades - conserving their forests and foreign
trade balance; but now the aging technology is an albatross which will most likely be transformed into
'greener fields'. Hats of to these hard working and dedicated people and many prayers in their time of
need - Japan is a world leader in renewable energy technologies and has changed their course in many
instances relating to their pioneering work in biotechnology as bioethical standards are being
adopted. My understanding of this comes from the Hebrew Scriptures - "the kingdom of god is within
you"; this is true of material reality as well - engineering with the spectrum requires a profound
ambiance with the natural world that sustains us.
I attended a benefit concert sponsored by WQED FM in conjunction with BROTHER'S BROTHER
FOUNDATION IN COOPERATION WITH THE JAPAN-AMERICA SOCIETY OF PENNSYLVANIA - in
RESPONSE TO EARTHQUAKE/TSUNAMI IN JAPAN at Chatham College in Pittsburgh's Squirrel Hill
neighborhood today; please give what you can. The Earl of Chatham - William Pitt and his son are the
English prime ministers for whom Pittsburgh is named - William Pitt the younger is presented in the
film "Amazing Grace".
What seems to inflame 'the reprobate' is when people begin to appreciate the goodness of nature and
this appreciation is attributed to GOD as creator and protector. I have reexamined my articles for errors
of 'optimism' relating to regenerative medicine and new appreciation of metaphysics - and see only
great hope. There is nanotechnology to remove radio nucleotides from various materials and so to 'cool
them off'. This technology should be perfected now and used as soon as possible.
Mr. President is proving to be more of a liability that originally suspected; the present occupant of 1200
Pennsylvania Ave. is no exception and like his predecessors he is charting a course using political power
which was originally intended for use in directing the nation in the attainment of a general prosperity;
not an attempt to change moral precepts or subvert the nations diplomatic responsibilities - Mr. Obama
has adopted policies toward Israel which will only inflame the hatred for our country which his
predecessor instigated through the direct support of Baathist regimes and subsequent waging of wars
which did not need to be fought....like the Iraqis attack of Iran in 1982 (Iran Contra) - wars motivated by
profits from the huge amount of military aid given to petty tyrants like the Saud family of Arabia and a
Baathist goon named Saddam Hussein. An untimely alliance with Pakistan's Islamic military dictators
has created a moral vacuum in the delegation of the world's diplomacy. Real diplomacy is hard work
and must be backed up with the intention to act rightly and maintain the integrity which all people need
to live uprightly. Obama would be wise to avoid getting the U.S.A. embroiled in another attempt to
'make the world safe for democracy'.
The audio visual transformation taking place in personal communications is not being translated into our
everyday economy in America nearly fast enough.....sure telecommunications giants outdo each other
to make the next advancements in technology available to their customers - for a large profit; but this
effort is not going to be enough to save the U.S. economy as we know it. The promised 500 billion dollar
green building technology market is not materializing; the 10 percent hybridization of our automobile
industry mandated in the 1980's is only going to trickle in at 1 percent by 2016 (supposedly) - too little
too late. According to the ancient's liars paradox this would seem to be the fault of those who propose
that green energy technology is not quite what it is claimed to be.....this one of the biggest lie of the
new millennium....nanotechnology is greatly exceeding the wildest speculations of the most optimistic
scientist - in every field of endeavor....yet its greatest blessing - efficiency will be all but lost as the global
climate becomes something which no one can accurately predict....climate change is a global issue;
those who do not adapt willingly may be forced to do so through economic deprivation brought about
through hyperinflation and financial failure.....even failure of the governments which are responsible for
its proper implementation.
The Pittsburgh Steelers lost the 2011 edition of the 'stupid bowl' an event hailed by one and all as a
complete fiasco.....taking a glance at the host of the game; the Dallas Cowboy owner Jimmy Jones and
his 'guests' in his private box speaks volumes about the State of Texas and the world in general. Happily
- of the people and by the people means volunteering to work for progress by ones own free will - this
my hometown has in abundance - spirited volunteers to accomplish what government has been
unwilling to undertake. Pittsburgh therefore has been transformed in many critical areas by this
volunteer based green building industry and will succeed again as an industrial powerhouse - using the
ambient intelligence of nanotechnology
7 the number of completion - 8 the number of perfection
The success of the Pittsburgh Steelers (in terms of winning important games) has been transferred
directly to the regions poor and needy and circumspectly has enabled the entire region to focus upon
'new horizons' and tackle some of the more weighty problems of the modern world and its millennial
generation. The Steelers Troy Polamalu is one of the most exciting players to ever play in the National
Football League - he is also a dedicated family man and Christian brother. Here is a great story from the
Post-Gazette that tells the story in more detail.
The Food Column: The Polamalus focus on good cause Rebecca Sodergren
The spirit which has transformed the Steeler Nation from perennial diehards into champions has aslo
spawned the success of charities which have helped this entire region to overcome the devastating
effects of poverty, unemployment and inflation. The players themselves generally come from working
class backgrounds and many of their families struggle to make a living. A player like Troy Polamalu
serves to bring this reality to light; his work with the FOCUS charities are also shared by other Steelers
and the Steeler ownership as well.
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette is one of the finest newspapers in America; this in spite of some rather
'parochial' editorial policies. Recent additions have proved some very interesting news - which span the
modern microcosmic - macrocosmic enigma. The National Astronomic and Space Administration
published a report this week that greatly facilitates the imagination of those who look for life on 'other
worlds'; this 'evidence' is being presented in the form of ontology and artist interpretation of astronomic
observation. Visualization of Habitable Planets in relation to thousands of new worlds this exciting
mission is revealing inspires new theories of Creation Science. Read about a newly discovered Solar
System - Kepler 11 which is approximately 2000 light years from here.
To get a better idea of the quality audio/visual resources available on the internet - take a look at the
NASA multimedia site. Another article in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette provides guidance as to the
quickly moving world of development that is making many of our consumer electronic components
obsolete - most of which were considered marvels of science in their development and use::
Computer Hard Drive - HDD.....Flash memory based HD - also known as Solid State Drives SSD
HD DVD Players..................Cloud Computing is here now and the power and quality of Streaming Media is too
Stand Alone GPS..............these geo location capabilities are built into every new electronic system - foreign and domestic
Camcorders....................High Dynamic Range optics and quantum dot based nanotechnology for still cameras will rule
The mouse....................touch screens and touch smart technology with technology like SURFACE will replace pointers
DVDs............................G4 networks and their ultra-high through put data transfer will become virtual with the MPEG21
Courtesy of Ced Kurtz - Techman's column - Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
So in the mundane world of human society we can still look to the heavens for hope and inspiration;
even though they will reflect back upon what a unique and wondrous world we live in
already.....perhaps we can start to care for it properly.
True Love and Genuine Affection
These days knowing the difference between true love and genuine affection could prove the 'saving of
the soul'....no kidding. Consider that glamour is not necessarily an indicator of real beauty nor vain
flattery anything more than an indicator of untrustworthy intentions.
Much has said and written about the uncanny relationship between several Gods of the ancient world
and Enoch of the Hebrew scriptures - Hermes and Mercury are two well known acronyms.....the reader
is in luck; the first audio/visual experience of mercury - 'close up'; are available TODAY. Another
uncanny relationship to appreciate is between the Planet Mercury and our celestial partner - the moon;
not surprisingly. The story:
 Messenger becomes the first spacecraft to orbit Mercury
 Mercury has many aspects of - the Moon - the first orbital image of this Planet
Sadness over the terrible suffering in Japan due to the tsunami and earthquake are being observed as a
type of 'Cosmic Event' which has actually slowed down time itself and shifted the Magnetic Pole of the
Earth - what will be interpreted as the significance of this truly 'cosmic event' must first come to grips
with WHY this disaster has such serious repercussions. History has been revealing many inconsistencies’
in the reputed' Japanese intention to surrender during WW2' - a story which is in complete agreement
with the investigations of one Simon Wiesenthal and his foundation; a man whose work to gain peace
and justice for Israel and the Jewish people was both successful and compassionate.
The answer to the question - What is the relationship between the price of petroleum and the
value of the American dollar; is one which Mr. President will need to provide better answers for than
the ones his predecessor did. Even the ineffable Jimmy Carter was forced to admit that Al Gore was the
man elected in 2000; the reason why his election was defrauded and how competition between true
science and the mechanics of petroleum domination of the world's marketplace have created
generations of liars and their corporate deceit is by now the stuff of mythology.
Funny money and phony baloney...............America's intelligence services are often perceived this way
by 'insiders' who bravely maintain their integrity in the face of all adversity. False intelligence is the
same thing as lying.....what is the purpose - what is the intention. Power corrupts and absolute power
corrupts absolutely - this is a lesson that mankind should have learned long before the deceit of Nazism
and its 911 imitators. Many today try to discredit Professor Einstein - but his genius has proven itself
once again - yet history has reproved America that its use of Atomic Weapons was unnecessary to end
the war with Imperial Japan.
The electromotive force is becoming a true learning experience - in and of itself; perhaps the fifth
dimension is 'touch' - feelings notwithstanding. The evidence from the millennials is compelling. The
theory known as 'superstrings' is becoming adamant it its representation - consider this argument about
the 'Geometric Pedestal of String Theory' - String theory is beginning to assert itself within the scientific
community - read about the new periodic table of shapes being developed for 3 - 4 and 5 dimensions; A
streaming representation of this development is available - on line. A new dimension for mathematics –
the Periodic Table of shapes couple this with virtual 'web-based' microscopy (from Finland no less) Multitouch gesture controlled microscope - the 'iPad on steroids' - courtesy of Gizmag (as usual).
Not unlike Microsoft’s SURFACE technology this multi-touch technology provides 'hands on access' for
collaboration and diagnosis using 'discreet' web-based microscopy. 46-inch multitouch display provides
an incredible resolution capacity for real-time collaboration and multi-faceted investigation. Kudos for
commutative expressivity in web-based instrumentation - what the 'doctor ordered'!
Analyzing shapes that involve dimensions that cannot be 'seen' in a conventional sense in the physical
world is extremely abstract - yet important to perfecting the technologic world which already exists. In
addition to the three dimensions of length, width and depth found in a three-dimensional shape, the
scientists will explore shapes that involve other dimensions. For example, the space-time described by
Einstein's Theory of Relativity has four dimensions - the three spatial dimensions, plus time. String
theorists believe that the universe is made up of additional hidden dimensions that cannot be seen.
Professor Corti's colleague on the project, Dr Tom Coates, has created a computer modeling programme
that should enable the researchers to pinpoint the basic building blocks for these multi-dimensional
shapes from a pool of hundreds of millions of shapes. The researchers will be using this programme to
identify shapes that can be defined by algebraic equations and that cannot be divided any further. They
do not yet know how many such shapes there might be. The researchers calculate that there are around
500 million shapes that can be defined algebraically in four dimensions and they anticipate that they will
find a few thousand building blocks from which all these shapes are made.
Search engine based headlines include - Periodic table of shapes to give a new dimension to math (w/ Video)
An excerpt from Science Daily - solar power fulfills the spatial dimensionality constraint - any surface
can become 'ambient'. The audio/visual scene in Pittsburgh is 'looking up' - thanks to the freedom which
being connected to Philadelphia and its Church of the Brethren afforded as tolerance for all religious
persuasions and the rule of law.......thanks to God that we have always been Pittsburgh, Pa and not
Pittsburg, Va. - not an insignificant difference.
BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN GENERATIONS | AUGUST 16, 2011
Generation Green is more than Ecology
My dad passed away a day or two before the Ides of March this past spring......it was a great release for
him; from suffering and other things which he was not too happy about. His older brother was a great
comfort to him during this ordeal; so around Memorial Day I headed to California to celebrate his 89th
birthday......a very interesting trip because my daughter completed her Doctoral Thesis at Stanford in
Philosophy on the timely subject of Distributive Justice. My uncle shared with me an excellent book Generations - The history of America's Future 1584 - 2069 by William Strauss and Neil Howe
This book provided the vital 'missing link' (what a 1960's rock group The Moody Blues termed 'Days of
Future Past') which my investigation of history and the millennia needed. Generational Lifecycles occur
in a repeating pattern from one 'Constellational Era' to the next - endowing humanity with 'spiritual and
psychological' resources in order to receive the blessing of awakenings which over decades become
social crisis’s which life confronts mankind with. In spite of the fact that many seem ignorant of their
'commonality' - it proves categorically what is written about our ancient forefather Noah; in that as the
singular progenitor of the human family - he was 'perfect in his generations'. This 'perfective' aspect of
TIME works to overcome the Babel effect of 8000 human languages
William Pitt - the younger Credits: amazing grace
Video: swarmanoid robots
One point which I am happy to interject to supplement the vital theories and historic insight provided by
Strauss and Howe is that America's political climate has relied heavily upon the 'third party' much like
England.....such that the youthful and rising generation which inherited the worldwide internet and its
'global village' instead of being termed 13ers (because they are the 13th since 1774) but rather should
be called Generation Green in honor of their 'amazing' ability to overcome ethnic and cultural
differences for the greatest purpose of all; to save our shrinking world from ecologic destruction. My
generation called Boomers did not accomplish this - but they inherited the ground work
(infrastructure) which would later be implemented - the advent of nanotechnology as Green is also a
result of this truly global effort. Environmental advocacy; international cooperation and high quality
communication of the real issues have provided the vital difference. Whoever predicted it.....Green
cities - sustainable technology - renewable energy available to one and all...if we only will!
The millennials have an even more awesome task before them - because in spite of this perfectly
amazing potential there is something in this world that says no and works not for the good of all but for
its destruction. To be fair part of this chaotic reality is the way in which life was created and is
sustained....the sun is not necessarily an 'ORB' which is perfectly stabile. Our quickly developing
'information age' is providing predictions of coming trouble with the sun which seem in line with two
other 'prophecies'; one of ancient lineage in various parts of the bible and one from the Mayan
astronomers of a millennia past whose measurements of universal dynamics give us the realization of a
365 and 1/4 day calendar year instead of the 360 day one previous to it. Quite a 'fudge factor' after
1000's of years. Time eonic is 'coming of age' also and there is scarcely little insights save for Holy
Scripture and monastic (priestly) traditions in diverse cultures and generational eras.
Why are people so stupid?

The good old USA is once again being 'beaten silly' by the stupid stick of big money politics. Are we
really as stupid as these slick lawyers and good old boys make us out to be........apparently yes and even
worse; if someone tries to correct the 'error of our ways' we will either attack them or completely ignore
them. The new strip mining is in place; fracking for Marcellus shale - in defense of conscience some
have condemned this technology; thankfully my hometown of Pittsburgh - even the new Target store
has a beautiful green building and they recycle - KUDOS! My book is nearing completion - it explains
many aspects of this phenomenon.
The idea that America will become a full employment economy in the near future is ridiculous; but the
social crisis that such a failure accounts is not. We have been betrayed; our leaders tell one lie after the
other - getting the government more deeply involved in fraud and deceit........the land will regret our
failures; our young people will begin to lose trust if they have not done so already......does anyone find it
almost criminal that the Governor of Texas which right now is experiencing the greatest ecologic and
economic disaster in their history can find plenty of time to run for President but no time to do the job
that he is being paid for.

Every media mogul and junior politico celebrates the killing of a major terrorist figure (supposedly) but
none of them connects this extremely questionable operation to the violent political crisis occurring
within the entire Arab world; as if they were not directly connected......where is the wisdom; where is
the restraint which leadership needs to be effective.
Have you ever noticed that as ideas change and our culture with them people cling to the same
viewpoints of moral character as if they had any right to do so......this is called semantic drift and it
destroys civilization through moral corruption; Mr. President in his various republican and democrat
guises has become a master of its innuendos. The big ticket items of the full blown American Culture sports; entertainment and news media are each in every way greedy, wasteful of precious resources and
nearly blind to the moral corruption that they represent......is this a sign of the times or a sign of the end.
The millennium has brought forth its blessings - will we put them to proper use or stumble on to our
destiny.
Warm Artic Summer - Cold Eastern Winter Credits: Canadian weather service
Slideshow: climate reality - a nightmare? Video: 24 hour global watch Solar Flare – Jan 27, 2012
In this prediction scenario – global warming proved a compelling theory for the mildest winter
in recent memory vastly aided by another solar event in January – this geo-magneto flux
produced a global wave which swept this November picture into an near mirror opposite as
central Europe and the entire Eastern Mediterranean region (including the Island of Malta)
experienced a very cold winter – like the eastern U.S.A. and Canada did in 2010.
Disaster planning - readiness vs. anticipation
Life confronts us with many difficulties - one of the worst of these is cancer; thank god - this tragic
medical condition has many people working together to overcome. In honor of Breast Cancer
Awareness Month, Examiner.com has launched the 10k in 10 Days virtual walk. Also Caribou Coffee is a
participant in this important effort.
Vital resources to restore the immune-response system come from Rio - Vida and its transfer
factor. Another product which can help restore strength and vitality is CALM. I have found several new
nutritional supplements that are invaluable to maintain wellness and vitality - one is Resveratrol (from
Grape extract) and the other is Ubiquitin (CoQ10) which strengthens the heart and vascular system antioxidant Drinks containing Acai Berry and Pomegranate juices are excellent as well.
Our restless home - the Earth; knows how to keep its inhabitants attention. As the northern and
eastern households of the United States and Canada brace for another cold and wet winter
season......the coast of Oregon and California are shaken with a minor outbreak of earthquakes - then
7,500 miles away Van Turkey experiences a devastating 7.2 magnitude quake; killing almost a thousand
people. Being prepared for disaster and calamity is best; trying to find a trustworthy source of
forecasting these event could prove invaluable. Here are some great AAA emergency kits.

America Inspired: Robert Kennedy Jr. and 'The Last Mountain'
Pittsburgh is a region variously affected by every aspect of industrialized capitalism; especially its lack of
sustainability and its extreme greed and violent legacy. Today things are changing but the times they
are the same old story. Examiners and America Inspired has the opportunity to lift up the courage and
vision of the Kennedy family in the person of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. - one who as an advocate and
mediator for the environment and the communities within it is an inspiration to all who work to combat
those who 'destroy the earth'. As biblical passages decry....The Last Mountain provides a visionary
insight into how America feels about 'Mother Earth'. And if this touches you where it hurts - then get
the new Dvd. He is my nominee for America Inspired.....keep up the good fight......Justice may seems
slow but there is great reason to expect that Judgment Day will come - as Holy Scripture states; “judge
not lest ye also be judged.....but if you do judge then judge righteous judgment”......fossil fuels and their
profiteers are becoming a menace such as the world has never known.
Right at you - sacrifice and leadership - Credits: EV World

My next step will be to review the articles I have submitted thus far and focus anew on this incredible
audio/visual development and its green economy and technology
Ambient Intelligence - Things are looking up thank God!
It is time to review my work on Examiner.com thus far - this task became a little easier due to my
conversion of the bus with a young person of some considerable understanding. The idea that America
is 'on course' and 'under budget' is ridiculous.....we are so far off course that it is reasonable to look for
other accommodations. And why is this - power and energy are two physical 'entities' which correspond
perfectly both theoretically and in practice. Yet our constitutional government and its 'deviant elite'
have inexorably committed the Western World to a course where power is the control of intellectual
capital and energy is burning up the earth's resources as if we were on a collision course with oblivion.
Many gifted commentators and observers worldwide have condemned this reprobate and diabolical
order - yet even with enlightened advocacy; timely and effective intercession and heartfelt prayer and
true 'godly' charity this condition gets worse every day - it even accelerates. And just like a person with
a deadly disease - treatment must begin if the death or complete debility of the patient is to be
overcome. Unfortunately our green economy and its ambiance is nothing more than a facade - more
teenagers are using its ultimate technology to set up their hasty pudding than ever before - friends time
has run out on our misbegotten ways. As a child I wondered at the world but winced at the greed - this
greed is insidious; this is the disease that man must come to grips with - Jesus the Messiah said it best;
"Save yourself from this wicked and untoward generation"!
So the paradox of perfect enlightenment and achievement meets with the doom of a human race
dedicated to fornication and deceitful appetites. The enigma of its resolutions leads to the mystery of
the cross - and its empty tomb.
Weekend Event Pittsburgh Pa - Humor on Chanukah
Pittsburgh premier messianic congregation - Yeshua Ben David is having a Chanukah party this weekend
on Saturday December 17 at the noon hour. Burt Rosenberg will be on hand to make you laugh and
have a great time on the Jewish Festival of Lights. Congregation Yeshua Ben David is located at the
corner of Lilac Street and Beechwood Blvd. in Pittsburgh's Squirrel Hill area - it is accessible by bus as
well - parking is available. The messianic movement as it is known is graced by the ministry of Jeff Kipp spiritual leader of Yeshua Ben David and its music ministry is really great as well.
The festival of lights and Christmas as coincidental holidays for many but at Yeshua Ben David this
coincidence has fully merged into a powerful mission to humanity. With deep roots in the spiritual
traditions of America's Brethren Tradition - the messianic movement has found humble success through
dedication to brotherhood and reconciliation. The biblical tradition worldwide provides strength for this
great in-gathering of 'seekers'. So come and see for yourself what Messiah means and how you can fit
into what is happening there - tolerance and loving kindness are the passwords here.

Slideshow: A Green Christmas
2012 - What's new?
As the years roll along and retrospection of one's life becomes like a dream - an aspect is realized in
which a sense of peace becomes established. Whether it is the question of justice in the everyday
world or the way of living being effected by an economy of scientific discovery and invention - still the
lesson of faith (trust), hope and charity remains true; the greatest of these 3 gifts (from 'beyond') is
charity. See the slideshow of Christmas and Green Pittsburgh.
Vote now to decide who wins $50,000 in Examiner.com’s America Inspired contest - personally it was
difficult to decide who to vote for because every category and individual being considered are both
worthy and needful of help and recognition.....my suggestion is to add in something for all finalists as
time goes on. Hats off to examiner.com for instituting a way for recognizing those who have overcome
great adversity to help and serve others.
I am the Audio - Visual Examiner for the Pittsburgh area; the creed of 'wait and see' is bearing great fruit
as Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2012) this week. With 3D printing and 4G networks - an attitude of
awe and wonder are appropriate when viewing this excellent CNET presentation; truly one of a
kind. The variety and complexity of these offerings are realizing the truth of 'the future is now'. In the
light of the MakerBot Replicator 3D another giant step towards the realization of a dream of material
science is now workable.
This new metaphysics is a tribute to the human mind.......the power of which is beginning to bear fruit
beyond what can reasonably be expected. A Guardian provides for dedication of moral values; it can
accommodate the question of complexity - how future generations will utilize these advancements in
real and living ways. Yes the new metaphysics has Paradigms - one of which points directly to the
omnipotence of the one who speaks in the Hebrew Scriptures. Self-similarity (a paradigm of fractal
geometry) has produced another planet - Kepler 22 B identified as the most Earth like of the thousands
recently identified and a new theory is being advanced by NASA and the European Space Agency. This
theory accounts for why this new planet is more like Neptune than our Earth and why and where it is
located within the Milky Way (600 light years) with a sun very much like our own.
Max - the Articulated Communicator Engine (ACE) is a toolkit for building animated embodied agents
that are able to generate human-like multimodal utterances....... One demonstration application is Max the Multimodal Assembly eXpert. Max is situated in a virtual environment for cooperative construction
tasks, where he multimodality demonstrates to the user the construction of complex aggregates and
guides the user through interactive assembly procedures. (From University of Bielefeld - Denmark
Techfax) As one who once suffered with epileptic seizures - brain wave science and its usefulness for
telepathy (intuition) is very intriguing. How do these toys use brainwaves to float a ball, and what does
it have to do with the powers of concentration? Both toys take advantage of EEG, or
electroencephalography, that uses sensors on your scalp to pick up electrical fluctuations related to
cortical activity. Honda Research Institute has moved several steps beyond this idea with their: BrainMachine Interface (BMI) controls .....Collaborators: Advanced Telecommunications Research Institute
International (ATR) and Shimadzu Corporation make it possible for a person to use telekinesis
technology to become interfaced with Honda's ASIMO robot.
NeuroSky has advanced the concept of Psychokinesis using Electroencephalogram (EEG) technology - at
least Mattel (MAT) saw it that way. Mattel's Mindflex allows players to move a ball around an obstacle
course with their minds by reading brain waves, using ThinkGear technology developed by NeuroSky.
Another NeuroSky device, MindWave, reads movie watchers' minds to adjust the plot, like a psychic
choose-your-own adventure narrative.
Prosody based audio/visual co-analysis for co-verbal gesture recognition
In combination, gesture and speech constitute the most important modalities in human to human
communication. People use a large variety of gestures, either to convey what cannot always be
expressed using speech only, or to add expressiveness to the communication.....a discipline referred to
as Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). Microsoft and Toshiba have pioneered this technology and they
are beginning to appear on the market now. My featured video is from GB TV and is a timely exposition
of these and other current issues......especially the direction which the 'CLOUD' is moving in. CVPR
examines visual aspects of communication......other modalities, for example, speech-based systems, or
systems that relate verbal cues to hand gestures and facial expressions are the subjects of ongoing
research.

America's political scene is heating up - that is an understatement. President Obama has managed to
correct some of his early mistakes dealing with the conflict between renewable and non-renewable
energy incentives and has happily won some support from environmentalists and Middle America’s
small business minority. His opponent is sizing up as a 3 man race with Mr. Romney having a decided
advantage in image conscious America. This is one election where electronic media will cast a deciding
ballot - will it be about money and sound bites or will Obama's burgeoning foreign policy create a
political situation in which his leadership will provide the only efficient solution to the battles now raging
throughout the middle east and east Africa - now becoming a real concern in western African nations as
well.
A striking contrast is provided by Britain and its grand debates in the House of Commons - where the
prime minister must not only justify his policies and decision making but also face direct confrontation
from the two other supporting political parties as well. It becomes apparent that the man on horseback
syndrome of Pennsylvania Ave has too often accepted solutions based on violent intervention rather
than political change enforced by legal decree.
Britain ended slavery throughout its Empire in the 1830's and 1840's - the U.S.A. had to sacrifice a half a
million young men to 'emancipate' theirs. Africa has yet to end this abominable institution even in the
3rd Christian century. What is it about direct debate and personal confrontation that facilitates political
action and makes distributive justice more than 'fine words’? America will see this difference played out
in 50 states and it may well be that the man who wins will be the one who can best communicate to the
people.

Climate change is no hoax - global warming is only one aspect of climate change. Let's take a look at
why republican conservatism is a ship on a dangerous course because of the politics of war and the
counsel of change!
It is written - that God would send his love and peace to mankind before 'The great and terrible day of
the Lord." The last book of the Tenach - the book of the prophet Malachi (Old Testament) prescribes
this perfect advice:
Malachi 4:5-6 (NIV) "See, I will send you the prophet Elijah before that great and dreadful day of the
Lord comes. He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to
their fathers; or else I will come and strike the land with a curse."
The Day of Slaugh-ter, the Day of Glo-ry... A Day of Harsh Judg-ment, A Day of De-liv-er-ance, A Day of
Rec-om-pense... The Day of As-ton-ish-ment... The Great and Ter-ri-ble Day of the Lord! Throughout the
1500 years of the Bibles writing - a continual vision and revelation of end times is proclaimed and
described and just like all the rest of Holy Scriptures every word - every passage is in agreement. This
enigma also converges with the phenomenon which we call Time and has become suspect in the
enlightens known as the golden age of physics (and its many facets) to be a true paradox.....The earth
actually warps time and space as it speeds around the sun and through the cosmos. This situation is also
been ascribed to a merciful god who sees and hears the cries of the innocent and the grief of those who
suffer terrible loss. The green revolution has produced enough food and material goods - far past
anyone's expectations; but because of lack of foresight and insight as the one who is speaking in this
video decries....we are still falling into destruction; even though many do all they can.
This is true for every living soul - The Great and Terrible Day of The Lord! (Prophecy about hell) is worthy
listening to; God's love for his people is still being poured out upon mankind.
Don't forget about the love!
It is written - that God would send his love and peace to mankind before 'The great and terrible day of the Lord."
The last book of the Tenach - the book of the prophet Malachi (Old Testament) prescribes this perfect advice:
Malachi 4:5-6 (NIV) "See, I will send you the prophet Elijah before that great and dreadful day of the Lord comes.
He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers; or else I
will come and strike the land with a curse."

Conservation Corps - a model for conservation of America's most valuable resources
The Department of the Interior is announcing the establishment of the 21st Century Conservation Service Corps
Advisory Committee (Committee). The purpose of the Committee is to provide recommendations to the
Secretary of the Interior on how to create a 21st Century Conservation Service Corps (21CSC) to engage young
Americans in public lands and water (Aug 2011) restoration .........helping young people, including low-income,
underserved, and diverse youth, gain valuable training and work experience while accomplishing needed
conservation work on public lands.
The 21st Century Conservation Service Corps Advisory Committee (21CSCAC) is a discretionary federal advisory
committee established by the Departments of Interior, Agriculture, the Environmental Protection Agency, and
the Council on Environmental Quality. Here are Projects design ideas for conservation.
The initiative includes:





Environmental Education - students and teachers
Recreation programs, hiking, fishing, wildlife
Youth Conservation Corps - for young adults to work
Volunteer and Community Service for public lands
Student Career Experience Programs
Student Temporary Employment Programs
“Creating a 21st Century Youth Conservation Corps“.
Although the U.S. Forest Service Planning Rule is still a draft document, it has helped to produce environmental
change for one special group of involved students. Over the past year this special group of young adults
attended planning rule public sessions, followed developing issues, and then provided some input of their own.
Through their diligence and proactive engagement, some of their concerns have made it into the draft planning
rule. Read more »

It was William Pitt, the Elder, The Earl of Chatham - British Prime Minister (1766 to 1778) who said:
"Unlimited power is apt to corrupt the minds of those who possess it"
America's astronomical debt is a product of a political dinosaur - it fact the largest dinosaur ever created - The
Federal Reserve Banking System. This loosely coupled agglomerate of Mega Financial Institutions has used the
government of the United States of America to generate the largest profits of any organization in the history of
the world bar none. If this great nation is to fulfill its golden potential - this system will have to be charged with
this debt and separated from its relationship to the government - now! This thought is not my own and the
proof is momentous and should be heard in a civil courtroom with grand jury powers to cut the lying and
deceiving powers that be - to their quick.
Hot off the presses……conservation gets a major boost
This is not radical environmentalism - it is sound economic practice.........republicanism and its power mad
conservatism is just hypocritical enough to drive up the price of oil to $5.00 per gallon by the time their divided
party reaches the convention in august.....to say that such extortion practices are hypocritical is a gross
understatement; how did Messiah say it - "The thief only comes ...................."; this fits republicanism to a tee.

Conserve energy - a perfect circle
Whether something is merely a coincidence or fate - meant to guide us on our way; is a very important
question. True guidance - may decide America's political future. This examiner column has investigated many
aspects of this grand issue relating specifically to the incredible developments being made these days in the
field of Audio-Visual Technology. Providing guidance to the inquiring public is more than coincidence - yet
must coincide with the real world. The most perfect thing is a circle - its expression a sphere; its way must
provide perfect correspondence with everything. The world itself describes this way. That is why coincidence
is important; to know what is possible - what is the way to go.
This would prescribe a oneness which in fact exists but in history is broken - the information age can help to
heal this brokenness. However, it cannot prevent hostility - only give the wary an opportunity to prevent
violent confrontation......this takes vigilance; it also take integrity - that is why defense and its strategic
policies are of the utmost importance.
Guidance also takes common sense to realize that because people in general are short-sighted and ethnically
oriented reconciliation for the sake of peace must supersede pride - if the source of this pride is one's identity.
Sometimes it takes a greater power that what worldly governments provide to accomplish this task - this is
why it is written; the book of Hebrews (ch4 v 12) admonishes "The nations".
For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing
soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
Just think if God's word defeats the mighty warrior - then how much more will it guide their feet into the
right and proper path. As a symbol of this guidance Israel fulfills the ideals of conservation - its people also
have conservative moral and political principles and a mandate to do great things.....what more do the
people of the world want. What is the very best idea - One Jerusalem - always!
This green generation and its millennial cohorts are doing great things - take a moment to pause and reflect count the blessings. Special thanks to Phipps conservatory and its Project Green Heart - take your cameras;
please.

As one sits on Yom Kippur (2012 - 5772) viewing the U.S. government's CSPAN telecast and hearing World
leaders like Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and America's President Barak Obama before the United Nations
General Assembly expressing antipathy towards Israel while extolling Islamic faith and the will of ALLAH (God)
for peace and harmony for all mankind.....blaming the ills of time and history upon Christianity and its
relationship to their roots in the Jewish faith....this argument is not new; nor unique to Islam; no this
rhapsodizing is often the rhetoric of despots who attempt to justify their own short comings (the need for
destructive weapons and large armies to use them) as resulting from this global hegemony (megalomania). Mr.
Ahmadinejad is evidently a master of convicting himself of these attributes through his own reasoning process.
This rhetoric is absolutely incredible after his thinly veiled contempt for the world's power structure is a
wonderful expression of his expectation for the coming of Jesus Christ (as the only hope of mankind) - not one of
the pillars of Islamic faith no doubt - why this dramatic turnaround.......one may wonder. The leader of Kenya,
Mwai Kibaki then said this "may all the warring people of the world lay down their arms and proclaim peace"!
He also stated emphatically that protection of ecological diversity and resolving the problem of global warming
must be part of the global initiative. Hopefully these fine sentiments are heartfelt convictions of these world
leaders. Here is a link to an online app with a lot more info.

I attended the Pittsburgh fracking protest this past weekend not far from where Mr. President held his campaign
kickoff at Carnegie Mellon University - on a local level people are extremely unhappy about how this 'practice' is
being implemented; smells of fascism - from Adam Garber of Moveon.org:
Everyone should be protected from dangerous shale gas drilling—it has poisoned drinking water with toxic
chemicals, destroyed our state forests, and it emits asthma-inducing air pollution. But that's not what happened
when the Pennsylvania Legislature wrapped up for the summer. Instead of banning fracking across Pennsylvania,
the Republican leadership and Governor Tom Corbett signed a backroom deal into law: a moratorium that will
only temporarily protect just four counties: Bucks, Montgomery, Northampton, and Lehigh.
We shouldn't treat any Pennsylvanians like second-class citizens. But Gov. Corbett's backroom deal leaves 80
percent of Pennsylvanians vulnerable to the environmental and health impacts of shale gas drilling. If you agree
that it's time for our legislators to enact a real moratorium that protects everyone's drinking water and health
from drilling, then click here to add your name to my SignOn.org petition, and then pass it along to your friends.
Harrisburg - Pennsylvanians are not amused by your pathetic record on protecting the people.

how to live a happy life
By: keith scharding

This millennial period has produced something which many intellectuals of generations past would
deny.....global kinship and sound human development; A friend was relating to me the promise of THRIVE 64 pt.
energy which is akin to Quantum Zero Point conceptuality....but has a human face which spans the millennia check out this site. This column has now come full circle and the Quantum Equation which was stated in the
1950's and 1960's to be "not in its final state"; has become an incredible understatement during our millennial
jubilees.
This admonition (to thrive) is not unlike a biblical one - to flourish; it is well taken in the American circus "despise not the chastening of the lord; for the lord chastens every son whom he receives;" Our economic crisis
is a case in point and the least talked about legislation in recent history - The Federal Reserve Transparency Act
(Audit the F.R.) co-sponsored by a Father/Son team - Rand and Ron Paul. HR 459 Audit the Fed Bill passed the
House of Representatives 327 to 98 (HR 202) and now will be voted upon by the U.S. Senate. If anyone has
doubts as to the veracity of this approach to economic reform all we have to do is look at Iceland - see Sacred
Economics where the architects of their meltdown were in fact put in jail and the system restored to its proper
state; voila success - Iceland now has a thriving economy; based upon their own freedom and independence.
Video: The thrive movement advocates 64 pt. energy
Justice in the United States of America is often 'inside out; upside down and backwards' - opponents of this Act
like former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi say that it goes too far; in politicking the Monetary Policies of the U.S.
But those who perceive the immensity of the crime which has been committed know that sending the
perpetrators to long prison sentences (i.e. Iceland and Ireland) and as the U.S. government unmercifully did with
Bernard Madoff and Jack Abramoff is mandated. In case justice is not done; I will not be amazed if this audit
power is used by our Imperial Presidency to vacuum clean what is left of the America treasury - much like they
did with Chase Manhattan Bank and its gold reserves in decades past.
Audio Visual technology is a cornerstone of modern security - an ungagged news media is the eyes and ears of
the public and this goes for spiritual enlightenment and salvation as well; where an individual's conscience must
be their guide in coming to trust and follow the way of Salvation. Caught in the act; in plain sight; occult
bondage and business ethics (see The Ireland : Iceland Project) are all monikers that forewarn the unwitting not
to trust in anything nor anyone just because they say so......American politics is intimately bound up with the
occult; in ages past and in the short term future as well.....Orwell's Big Brother could well have taken place in
our great nation and whose joke was it about Richard Nixon being a used car salesman..........one saying that I've
found to be true - written on a sign outside of Beth Sar Shalom messianic synagogue on beacon street here in
Pittsburgh many years ago - "trust not in angels - no not even in the son of man in whom there is no help; but
trust only in the God of heaven who is the God of truth." Love is the answer.

I don't know what is more important - for the Pirates to end their 20 year losing streak or for the President - in
this case Barak Obama to 'get' his own policies and campaign promises. In spite of the hostility which 2/3 of
American's exhibit towards any type of change; change has arrived. The question is what type of leadership is
necessary to fit these changes into the reality of everyday life with a minimum of hostility. The electric highway
has reached America....!
Pittsburgh's Pirates will battle it out with the SF Giants; Bruce Bochy and Clint Hurdle are mangers with similar
leadership styles and both have helped lift their teams out of mediocrity into a share of the limelight.....should
be an interesting season. Here are two examiner slide shows which catch both the magnitude of the political

Power....Energy and the economy

Growth in energy demand is a real challenge credit:
silver springs network
The issue of the distribution of power and energy which drives the American economy is stage one today.....this
week an important conference will convene in Washington D.C. The world of media and the entertainment
industry have no comprehension of these things - that is why it is important to seperate truth from fiction and
fact from fantasy.
In terms of history a few brave souls have investigated the paleontology enigma which evolutionary thinking has
saddled educational systems with - what they have found will astonish you.....but one conclusion they have
surmised - that the gigantic dinosaurs could not have walked very well of themselves and must have actually
spent most of their existence in swamps and lakes where buoyancy would have provided them with much
greater locomotion - much like Washington D.C. where Americans are awash in a sea of debt and petroleum
giants roar out their absurd policies and objectives seems amusing.

Dinosaurs and human industry have converged in the 20th century creating serious problem for government
planning resources.....yet the millennia are actually diverging from this Western phenomenon and the need for
organizations that can oversee the growth and development of nanotechnology and its related industries is
becoming profitable in global proportions. If these technologic innovations and discoveries are not going to be
wasted in the so called free trade capitalism of multi-national corporations and their tradition of repressing
competition and general lack of ethics then direct action is imperative.
A global community of environmental responsibility and resource conservation is quickly developing the
sustainable energy nanotech and Nano power applications for micro and macro applications – E-meters and
Micro grids are integrating sustainable power sources of wind solar wave and fuel cells. AV nanotech shows us
how to plan and build solar homes.

The Guidance Principle
GUIDANCE AND INSPIRATION APRIL 18, 2012 BY: KEITH SCHARDING
View the full slideshow »
The proverbial 'Quantum Walk' is a fitting analysis for a Guidance Principle; in human affairs to walk someone
through something is a way of caring; showing friendship and providing leadership within organizations and
across cultural boundaries. This column is about being a 'true guide' - even if my hometown enthusiasm clouds
judgment at times.
In case you are not aware of it Green AV is here and making mellow music – AVI SPL is also a member of the
Green Building Council take a look at what they have to offer. One can only pause to wonder why America is not
getting on the band wagon.....Wind Power and Nano-electronics are the world’s #1 growth industries with Solar,
Bio-Fuels and Tidal making major contributions.; This ‘scenario’ bodes well within the realm of global
government as Ban Ki Moon; the secretary general of the United Nations made a great pitch for the economy of
sustainability at the Center for Global Development; he identified Green Technology as the best hope for an
impoverished world – a promise which is capable of being kept. The ability to respond – the ability to even react
to potential disaster situations requires a Paradigm Shift in government infrastructure worldwide. The world
cannot afford another error like the one which occurred in spite of the One Day millennial jubilee celebration where the call for the forgiveness of debt was defeated not due to 200 million people who signed the petition
(subsequently delivered to all of the world’s governments - an effort which continues) but because the
impoverished and deeply indebted nations refused to promise that they would not use this 'windfall' to buy
weapons as they have been doing for decades. Give peace a chance.

SOCIAL MEDIA AND COPYRIGHT LAWS MARCH 21, 2012 BY: KEITH SCHARDING
Fair Use is part of the Copyright Statuette
Credits: quicksnaps.com
The Audio/Visual Explosion elicits various outrages - censorship; copyright protection and waves of oohs and
awes - hopefully my column has helped with the oohs and awes. However the issue of censorship is often
wrapped in disguise; camouflaged by criticism about other - "artistic issues'. People - a lie is a lie;; no matter
how often it is repeated nor how many people believe it. Censorship is an important aspect of culture which
should be taught at every level of academic and intellectual endeavor - it is the evidence of soul and spirit
and how they work together.....because our government in America has proven that it cannot be trusted
those who claim "the moral high ground" must practice "self-censorship".
Center for Social Media..........Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Online Video has provided a good lesson
in copyright protection - "Fair Use standards provide online publishers with freedom to utilize specific
content for the purpose of commentary and review. The following is a synopsis of this statuette:"
Video: Fair Use & Copyrights
"The Fair Use Doctrine is one of the most important limitations on the exclusive rights of the copyright
holder. It allows that copyright can be infringed because strict application of the law impedes the production
and dissemination of works to the public. The Fair Use Doctrine was added as Section 107 of The Copyright
Act of 1976 and was based on a history of judicial decisions that recognized that unauthorized infringements
of copyright were "fair uses." " (from the American Library Association)
If this distinction (of fair use or infringement) is ambiguous......no words, lines, or notes may be used without
permission. However they may be quoted "in reference'" to the content of this work - specifically; especially
within its hypermedia context. This is most certainly true where such reference is to edify the copyrighted
material.
In terms of legal practice Stanford University has an excellent website here. Enough said - my next series of
articles will take us into the new audio/visual experience in Pittsburgh and its relationship to the technology
and times we are living in.

The best of Pittsburgh - presidential politics BEST OF PITTSBURGH
MARCH 14, 2012

Many of my articles are in response to Examiner.com's editorial requests - The best of Pittsburgh and its
relationship to Audio-Visual Technology begins here. America is unfortunately a media driven culture - this means
radio and tv; my hometown is no exception. Most of the network news coverage is technically excellent but
amounts to no more than ambulance chasing using a police scanner (I am an eyewitness to this practice). This type
of reporting lacks both depth and content - due to legal constraints on crime reporting and the need to keep
corporate sponsors happy. Enter people like myself and examiner.com.
The presidential race will become the leading edge in 2012 - the stakes are greater than ever. Many should ask the
question - why has a region with the wealth of cultural and natural resources like the expansive Ohio River Valley
never produced a national leader - Rick Santorum (the K Street wonder) is not from this area - nor has he been
elected yet. Perhaps it is because of the type of people who succeed in this media environment.....people whose
love of money outweighs every other consideration (Dennis Miller - Jeff Christie (aka Russ Limbaugh) and the
treacherous Jim Quinn) - all comedians and rockers who sold out to republicanism and the 'big buck'.......people
like this earn temporary success but in the long term their lack of integrity makes public trust impossible. One
exception was John Heinz III whose untimely death like that of fellow Senator Paul Wellstone only makes the
corruption of Washington D.C. all the worse.....may they rest in peace and be remembered in the world to come.
Pittsburgh is a town of 500 churches - let it be remembered that Messiah came into the world to save
sinners........not to 'elevate' treachery and its corruption.

Cell phone jammers beware
#CELL PHONE JAMMERS MARCH 12, 2012
2nd class deception Credits: Eric Blair
American life has become a dangerous enterprise - on the one hand our government has become bankrupt
through the incompetence of law enforcement......who for material gain have allowed the reprobate and
deviant elite to lead them astray. Audio/Visual technology is no exception......the recent cell phone jammer
incident shows this empathically.
This 'jamming' technology is not new but was developed during WW2 and resulted in the spread spectrum
theory which has developed into a comprehensive across the board multi-media standard for all electronic
transmissions (Unified Communications). It's relationship to what Americans have come to know as Operation
STELLAR WIND – and by coincidence nearly 10 years to the day later Higher Dimensions launches a new RPG
(Role Playing Game) by the exact same name. Later in 2006 no less of a vanilla news service than "USA Today"
broke the story on May 10, 2006.[1]It is estimated that the database contains over 1.9 trillion call.[2]According
to Bloomberg News, the effort began approximately seven months before the September 11, 2001 attacks.[3]"
(source Wikipedia - NSA call database). " ‘Stellar Wind’ routinely eavesdropped on journalists and public officials "
Wayne Madsen (May 11th, 2009)
Video: cell phone jammers
This eavesdropping operation was in conjunction with something called Enhanced Carnivore and its 'Magic
Lantern software' which was nothing more than a Trojan Horse. Later in 2006 cell phone users learned once
more that they must beware because:
FBI taps cell phone mic as eavesdropping tool
"The government can tap into your mobile phone, turn on the mike and listen to your conversation even when
its closed and turned off. If they can do this, they probably can see through your phone's camera too. The GPS
receiver, built into many cell phones, can also locate you. Welcome to Big Brother." (Source ZDNet) Nextel and
Samsung handsets and the Motorola Razr were especially vulnerable (year 2006) This site (Robotics and
Electronics School) has information about how to protect your network from this type of incursion.
From the electronic engineers:
A “Cell Jammer” is just way of saying “Dirty Transmitter” which happens to transmit within the Cellular Phone
Bands. Reality is, the dirtier the better. Electronic security experts have produced SPYBUSTERS – keeping an eye

For anyone who has difficulty with my column; with typo errors or content inconsistencies -I have
prepared an Adobe 'e-zine' with all of the past 3 years content..........Read my examiner columns Audio/Visual Pittsburgh - here is a word document as well. When talking to people young and old about
this 'new' technology most people are unaware of just what is available.....what the state of the art is.
This examiner would like to report praise for the people of Japan and the way they have responded to the
Tsunami of 2011; an Omni Bus is transporting the dispossessed who are living in temporary housing restoring hope and dignity.....many cultures could learn a lesson from the response which the Japanese
make to emergency situations. This is true around the awe inspiring world as well - Chile; Haiti; America's
heartland and Southern Asia and Australia where earthquake, floods, tornados, tsunamis and other
disasters have wreaked terrible devastation.....a good time for mankind's unity to be restored.
Video: Man is learning to fly
One grand purpose for taking videos and producing programs for others to see is the incredible things
which people will do - flying off mountain tops is no exception. Pittsburgh has some high points for this
purpose but other raptors (endangered species) are using these roosts already - The peregrine falcon
notably. So appreciation is in order.....these human raptors are truly flying and soaring a bit too.....thanks
to PBS and the net all can enjoy.

Eschatological Concerns – the bible as prophet
The changing of the guard……………………………..Creative intelligence must draw upon the trust factor;
truth is essential for the human mind to interact rightly with the real world……and where is that world
today as the classical observer once again witnesses ‘the great lie’ being played out to the full.
Well apparently Mr. President was listening to the Green Generation and was reelected with a decent
margin of victory – provided basically by young people getting out the vote. Romney Ryan gave the
democrats a good run for the money – carrying all the traditional republican strongholds and the older
voters male………..yet youthful exuberance carried the day.
Deep Water Horizon (TransOceanic) and British Petroleum BP have reached a settlement with the U.S.
Dept. of Justice – with criminal penalties outstanding – the settlement is being viewed as ‘inadequate”.
The question of corporate greed and international diplomacy goes hand in hand as BP announced
megascale earnings and a new deal with Russia’s Vladimir Putin and the enormous petroleum reserves
controlled by their state owned oil company Rosneft – this is in conjunction with U.S. State Dept. and
congressional sponsorship of new legislation to normalized trade relations with the Russian Federation
and gain negotiating position to regain American Russian financial interest. All of these deals and
judgments are coincidental with the Republic of China’s Communist Party congress which now sits as the
most powerful socio-economic organization on the planet……..all according to ancient prophecy if in
most cases alluding top level financial experts…..which have continuously ridiculed Marxism and its
proletariat vision……….or have other strings been pulled ‘behind the IRON CURTAIN’?

The difference between medicine and science (or is there medicine for what science is making)
Corporate social responsibility
Questioning this paradigm of distributive justice is all the rage; it also begets 'as it were' - the liars paradox
because this would entail proof that corporations are indeed responsible to any one or any thing other than
their ownership. Yet the global sustainable goal has been set and this means that transnational corporations
must begin to appear interested in cooperating with the governments from whom they extract their economic
gain. Socialism and its partner communism are not in fact examples of corporate value systems but are
generated by grass roots movements which help to establish social institutions to serve the needs of
downtrodden humanity. This is not the sense of a so-called bleeding heart liberal but one firmly based upon
ethical morality and its ideal of charity; for love is after all the greatest virtue.
Cue the conflict free student movement.
The Conflict Free Campus Initiative (CFCI) is a joint effort of the Enough Project and STAND, the student-led
division of United to End Genocide. CFCI represents a constituency of students who want conflict free electronic
products. Currently, there are over 100 local CFCI campaigns at colleges and universities in the U.S., Canada and
the United Kingdom. In the past two years, 11 schools — including Stanford, University of Pennsylvania, Duke
University, Clark University, and Emory University — have passed resolutions and policies prioritizing companies
who are taking action to become conflict free. In July, high school STAND students in Edina, Minnesota even got
their city council to pass a conflict free resolution, making Edina the third conflict free city in the country.
The movement is growing, and companies are starting to feel the pressure. When Duke University students
made a video asking alumnus Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple, to get serious about making a conflict free device,
they got a phone call from his office. Motorola Solutions has piloted a closed-pipe supply line project to
guarantee the tantalum it uses in its products is conflict free. Intel has even committed to make a conflict free
processor by 2013.
Corporate Social Responsibility
For a business to be sustained long-term, a company needs to replace a single-financial bottom line with a more
balanced triple-bottom line encompassing economic, social and environmental objectives into its business
practices (also referred to as “people, planet, profit”). The CSR approach outlines key areas of focus and
guidance for its implementation which ultimately seek to achieve these three objectives.
Other definitions:
The World Business Council for Sustainable Development in its publication “Making Good Business Sense” by
Lord Holme and Richard Watts, used the following definition. “Corporate Social Responsibility is the continuing
commitment by business to behave ethically and contribute to economic development while improving the
quality of life of the workforce and their families as well as of the local community and society at large”
The same report gave some evidence of the different perceptions of what this should mean from a number of
different societies across the world. Definitions as different as “CSR is about capacity building for sustainable
livelihoods. It respects cultural differences and finds the business opportunities in building the skills of
employees, the community and the government” from Ghana, through to “CSR is about business giving back to
society” from the Philippines.
Traditionally in the United States, CSR has been defined much more in terms of a philanthropic model.
Companies make profits, unhindered except by fulfilling their duty to pay taxes. Then they donate a certain
share of the profits to charitable causes. It is seen as tainting the act for the company to receive any benefit
from the giving.
The European model is much more focused on operating the core business in a socially responsible way,
complemented by investment in communities for solid business case reasons. Personally, I believe this model is
more sustainable because:
1. Social responsibility becomes an integral part of the wealth creation process – which if managed properly
should enhance the competitiveness of business and maximize the value of wealth creation to society.
2. When times get hard, there is the incentive to practice CSR more and better – if it is a philanthropic exercise
which is peripheral to the main business, it will always be the first thing to go when push comes to shove.
However, as with any process based on the collective activities of communities of human beings (as companies
are) there is no “one size fits all”. In different countries, there will be different priorities, and values that will
shape how business act. Moreover, even the observations above are changing over time. The US has growing
numbers of people looking towards core business issues.
For instance, the CSR definition used by Business for Social Responsibility is “Operating a business in a manner
that meets or exceeds the ethical, legal, commercial and public expectations that society has of business.
On the other hand, the European Commission hedges its bets with two definitions wrapped into one: “A concept
whereby companies decide voluntarily to contribute to a better society and a cleaner environment. A concept
whereby companies integrate social and environmental concerns in their business operations and in their
interaction with their stakeholders on a voluntary basis”.
When you review each of these, they broadly agree that the definition now focuses on the impact of how you
manage your core business. Some go further than others in prescribing how far companies go beyond managing
their own impact into the terrain of acting specifically outside of that focus to make a contribution to the
achievement of broader societal goals. It is a key difference, when many business leaders feel that their
companies are ill equipped to pursue broader societal goals, and activists argue that companies have no
democratic legitimacy to take such roles. That particular debate will continue.

Scientists Warn Of Deep-Water Oil Spill Kill Zone

Transcript |
Investigative journalists Greg Palast and Antonia Juhasz examine who wins and who loses in BP’s
settlement. "[BP is] basically being told, if you’re like a bank robber, you put the money back in the vault,
and everything’s forgiven," says Palast, who also investigated the Exxon Valdez settlement. Meanwhile,
state and federal governments are still pursuing separate civil claims against BP for environmental
damage. "That’s when we’re going to hopefully uncover those 72 million pages of investigation that will
include wrongdoing not just by BP, not just by Transocean, not just by Halliburton, but every major oil
company involved the offshore—and, very likely, at least based on my research, wrongdoing by the
Obama administration," says Juhasz. "It’s the desire to keep that out of the public that has pushed this
settlement process forward." ……………….BP pledged up to $500 million over a decade to conduct
independent scientific research on the environmental effects.
BP to Pay $7.8B to Settle Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill Lawsuit. Is it a Bad Deal for Gulf Residents
It is the magnitude of these enterprises which perplexes safety engineers and environmentalists. This is
also true of a new technology called fracking which has been developed by this same Industry.
What is a Nanofactory?
The Nanofactory is a proposed compact molecular manufacturing
system, possibly small enough to sit on a desktop, which could build a diverse selection of largescale atomically precise diamondoid products. The Nanofactory is potentially a high quality,
extremely low cost, and very flexible manufacturing system.
The principal input to a diamondoid Nanofactory is simple hydrocarbon feedstock molecules
such as natural gas, propane, or acetylene. Small supplemental amounts of a few other simple
molecules containing trace atoms of chemical elements such as oxygen, nitrogen or silicon may
also be required.
Nanotechnology and its relationship to Audio/Visual Technology gets more exciting on a daily basis – 3D
modeling – nanolithography and plasmonics are making necessity a mother of invention proverbially.
