HELLO Y.A.L.I. AND PRESIDENT OBAMA!
OUTSIDE THE INNER CIRCLE!
OUTSIDE THE INNER CIRCLE.
Outside the inner circle
Life's a heavy mop,
Outside the inner circle
You're always eating slop!
Inside the inner circle
You're on a mountain top,
Outside the inner circle
They often let you drop!
Outside the inner circle
You're sleeping in a ditch,
Inside the inner circle
You're a son-of-a ….rich!
Outside the inner circle
Sorry, but you're late!
Inside the inner circle
Please pass the dinner plate!

Gentle People:
With all the terrifying bloodshed occurring around the world, I am forced to remember why I started the non-religious world humanitarian peace and ecology movement. It was after a car accident left me with a chronic and painful disability I decided to smell the Roses...literally. Upon leaving the Hospital which saved my life, I searched for and found a Rose Bush and smelled the Roses. Oh yes, they were pretty but unfortunately genetically modified with zero scent!
The accident prompted me to view life on Earth as extremely rare and precious and beautiful and something to be protected...not by force but by friendly persuasion using as much logic and science as is humanly possible! Police forces of the world take note! Friendly persuasion works better than a loaded gun! All life includes human life. We humans are part of Nature which is delicate and beautiful and rare in the Universe and must be gently protected from exploitation by people who believe money and power are all that matters. White collar crime has enormous repercussions on the people who live on or below the poverty line and we need police forces not afraid to look up the social ladder as well as far down below.
I sincerely hope people working for companies such as Monsanto and Bayer who create genetic experiments and chemical pesticide products which are dangerous to life on Earth, are also reading these words! Have the CEO's of these and similar companies become so desperate for economic and emotional and physical security they have completely lost their sense of Ethics? Are they willing to destroy the natural environment for money and power?
It starts with the school systems. Every child should be rewarded for participation within a school system that literally provides the necessities of life. Schools should be productive members of society. They should have school kitchens providing free food for hungry children. Hydroponic Gardens that grow the food. Small Zoos for observing and understanding how other species survive within a living Biology class protected by the students. Science classes that create computers for free distribution to students and for sale outside the schools. Machine and Wood working shops that produce goods for sale outside the schools. There must be every concept imaginable to keep young minds curious and participating within a well structured and government protected school system. Children should love the time they spend within the school system and not fear for their lives as is often happening today!
When I was in school only a few children with the smartest memories and those who were the best physically fit were rewarded. They used something called credits to reward the smart students and the Athletes were passed through with or without credits. It was Bullshit and most students understood it was Bullshit. We studied and worked hard for credits only because enough accumulated credits allowed us to escape the prison like school system without the humiliating drop-out label. Credits had zero economic value outside the school and we all understood that fact but if we did not appreciate the idea and decided to rebel, we were severely and brutally punished. Myself included. Only a few of the children who had quick memories and who always obeyed the teachers were frequently rewarded. The majority of students encumbered with emotional or psychological or physical problems were often left aside. Many would end up working as hard labor for our corporate industrial society. I became a general handy-man and bounced from company to company learning as much as I could along the road of life, but I had a deep and silent secret. I often read books not sanctioned by the school system. Books that explained secrets most students would never understand. I became a secret intellectual and a handy-man while later my industrial training became good enough for basic survival.
I was never accepted into the ranks of the middle class.
In the recent past, economic success and social power was the rallying cry for schools around the world. Many young people were repetitively indoctrinated to believe that money and power were all important tenets of success. Unfortunately, today as adults they are stressed and emotionally unstable and some have given up the struggle altogether and can be found barely surviving on the streets! Many end up in our many prisons and have become dangerous! On the other side of the spectrum, students who became the most successful and richest people on Earth are today often unhappy human beings! Many have become extremely competitive and self-centered and cold-blooded and they know how to accumulate money and power but not how to distribute wealth or create good life sustaining ideas! They do not work for the betterment of all Life on Earth but do however know how to dominate and control the human mind using any method possible! Repetitive hypnosis and peer group pressure as well as Media advertising are social tools often used by clever dominating people to create groups of loyal followers. For examples: political followers, military and police followers, religious followers, fanatic groups of dangerous followers, money oriented company followers and groups of non-profit followers. I prefer groups of friendly Nature followers.
Today companies of people continue to degrade the natural environment in search of wealth and power and they are dangerously succeeding! They, however, are quietly being asked to change their bad habits and more than a few are using their power and money to help preserve nature and not to exploit what is natural and beautiful. Surprisingly, they are discovering how much fun it is and even, how profitable!
Money was created as a better method for exchanging goods and services but over the centuries quickly changed to became economic symbols of power representing rulers and governments. People without money were left behind to die in poverty and misery! The extreme rich did not care about the extreme poor until the poor revolted. Unfortunately, that cycle is returning! Today the poor are extremely poor and the rich are...well...you know how it goes!
Today, using my old computer, I attempt to help with free publicity as many non-profit organizations as possible and I do not ask for money. My telephone is connected to the Internet and once a month I pay my phone bill. My pension check is minimal and I am always broke!. Saving Life on Earth without government economic help is an expensive proposition and I do realize why people accumulate money. It is sad that accumulating money helps to destroy Nature. Many people today are desperate for money. The price of food and shelter has gone up and the poor are suffering in miserable poverty. That is the reason we need better social programs and a larger Tax on the extreme rich. We also need a Carbon Tax on those who continue to create pollution. We must make the polluters pay! It is to create an equitable economic distribution system based on clean air and water and clean food!
It is to give every person a fair chance at survival! It is to maintain and to help all those wonderful people who are care-givers and who work without thought to personal gain, a chance to relax once in a while and to enjoy life! We need more people who are willing to help those in desperate need and who are in emotional stress. We need people who like helping people! We need people who enjoy life on this Earth and who work to protect the natural environment and who absolutely refuse to exploit the environment for personal profit! All of the aforementioned people need protection more than the half insane power brokers and exploiters who now control the economic system of the not-so-free world.
We have to stop the blood-shed with the only tools that work. Friendship with patience and education. We have to use the care givers credo of ALOHA which is: Ask...Listen...Observe...Help.
Over decades I was never simply satisfied to write words for their own sake but attempted to create social solutions to help stop the murderous bloodshed created by basically extremely sick and lonely human beings. We need a great many more intelligent imaginative minds to help create solutions. We need to completely revamp and improve our early childhood education systems. One important solution is to break up a Policeman's Eight hour work day into two distinct parts.. During one-half of the day he or she patrols the streets keeping the peace and during the other half of the day the police officer wears a different and non threatening uniform to work with children in parks and play grounds as swimming and sport instructors. He or she can also use the power of the police to work along side social services in order to help the homeless and the drug addicts find safe havens without the threat of incarceration.
Thanks for reading. I hope these words help you create a better world.

How the human brain works. Your included!
Hacker News
Is the mind an emergent property of the brain, or is it something… else? Cartesian dualism is a polarizing topic, but like many other ideas that we thought were the province of philosophers, we’re getting light shed on it from a surprising source. Researchers from the Human Connectome Project (HCP) have just released our best-ever functional map of the human brain. It’s twice as finely detailed as anything that has come before it — and it’s tiptoeing closer to settling the mind-body problem. As it turns out, the brain as computer analogy has its shortfalls.
“The brain is not like a computer that can support any operating system and run any software,” says neuroscientist David Van Essen, Principal Investigator of the Human Connectome Project. “Instead, the software — how the brain works — is intimately correlated with the brain’s structure — its hardware, so to speak. If you want to find out what the brain can do, you have to understand how it is organized and wired.”

Because different subsurface brain structures look more or less the same from the outside, neuroscientists have heretofore relied mostly on gross anatomy and unfortunate happenstance to tell us what parts of the brain did what. (Here’s looking at you, Phineas Gage and Patient H.M.) Structure and function are tightly coupled in the brain, down to the molecular level. But the brain does so many things. Missing borders between brain structures can badly compromise our ability to understand how the brain works.
The HCP has been working for nigh unto six years to shed light on this problem. Their most recent announcement is impressive: The project just doubled the spatial resolution of our best known functional map. In doing so, they also integrate several different ways of explaining differences between brain regions. The researchers report that they’ve found a total of 180 distinct areas per hemisphere, regions which are bounded by sharp changes in cortical architecture, function, connectivity, and/or topography. This development stands to change neuroscience, by opening up our understanding of the relationship between structure and function.
Using multimodal MRI data from the HCP and a semi-automated approach, the new “parcellation” of cortical function checked its predictions by comparing them with brain scans from hundreds of healthy volunteers, so that the model could divide functional regions with exquisite accuracy. The parcellation divides both the left and right cerebral hemispheres into 180 areas based on physical differences like cortical thickness, functional distinctions like which areas respond to language stimuli, and differences in the connections between functional regions. If you think of it using the metaphor of, say, Google Maps, this approach combines political maps with satellite imagery; the most important divisions are invisible from a zoomed-out perspective, but important all the same.
Like cartographers from the Age of Exploration, brain cartographers are creating a tool for others to use in exploration and discovery. Prior work on the connectome gave us a directional diagram of information flow through the brain, and a startling semantic atlasthat shows where we process the meanings of certain words and abstract topics. This team of researchers hopes that their work will prove an asset to other researchers as they push back the frontier of ignorance.
“We were able to persuade Nature to put online almost 200 extra pages of detailed information on each of the 180 regions as well as all of the algorithms we used to align the brains and create the map,” Van Essen said. “We think it will serve the scientific community best if they can dive down and get these maps onto their computer screens and explore as they see fit.”

When Collards VS Kale, Collards win!
Alex P. On Collards VS Kale.
Cooked Collard greens have 30 times more lutein-zeaxanthin essential for good vision than do Carrots. (They are Carotenoids for the human eye macula)...and Collards have 20% more protein per calorie than does cooked broccoli.
Collard Greens also have 3% more protein per calorie than cooked lentils...11% more protein than cooked kale and higher protein quality than: lentils, kale or milk. The amino acid score is 94 versus 91 for kale, 86 for lentils, 85 for milk. Collard is also 3 times better digested by the human system than is Calcium and Collards have many more nutrients than does broccoli. (See the top vegan sources of Calcium at Https://plus.google.com/+AlexP/posts/W5iRpgBk3iS,
Collard greens are easy to steam and unlike other cruciferous vegetables, have far fewer goitrogens which are compounds mostly destroyed during cooking and which interfere with the thyroid when eaten raw in large amounts - too much of any food is bad!
Because of these things, I have started eating a lot more collard greens with the aid of the pressure cooker ► https://plus.google.com/+AlexP/posts/HcNA6yU4UDS. Not to mention, steamed/cooked broccoli has 47% more carbs than steamed/cooked collard greens per 100 grams - which is not ideal for glucose control ► check your glucose 1 hour after meals with https://plus.google.com/u/0/+AlexP/posts/5ocD2zDyUkW. Steamed/cooked kale has 14% more carbs than collard greens, but less than broccoli, so I gave up eating kale - since collards have more easily absorbed Calcium and 11% higher quality protein. The Amino Acid score is (94 versus 91).
Neonicotinoids kill Bees. Bayer and Monsanto want to merge. Stop them!

Hello Gentle People:
Everybody needs a small garden. I have one Tomato plant growing fast and furious next to my steps in the worst weed patch known to mankind. This interesting event leads me to believe I can plant more Tomato's around and next to my old house next Spring, as long as I mix plenty of fertilizer and black earth in the hole under the roots of my plants.
Now that I am facing success with that one Tomato, I am dreaming of Green Peppers and Carrots.
planted in a small Four by Four by One foot deep Black Earth and Sheep Shit fertilized garden. The garden has to be so close to my house and steps that I will literally step into it when climbing up to my apartment. This guarantees I will remember to take care of the vegetable plants before I do anything else!
Wonderful! A garden saves money and the veggies taste great! Bye for now!
