Hello Gentle People:

 The Decorah Eagle is on her nest. If you visit now you will see a live video of her and her new Egg.

You don't need expensive camera equipment or even a great knowledge of
photography to capture the beauty of nature. If you like what you see take a
picture and soon you will be searching out what you like. Imagine a life
filled with beautiful moments. Joseph Raglione.

Hello gentle friends:

 When I was in elementary school way back in the 50's, I was lucky enough to receive a small cafeteria breakfast in the morning before going to class. Considering we were the baby boom  generation with an average of Forty children to a class, receiving a free breakfast in the morning was short of miraculous! Today, there are still children going to school hungry in North America and it is our turn to provide a decent breakfast for these school children and for any hungry child we find anywhere on this planet. I found this on Twitter: 

   " When you realize that 60% of learning happens before lunch, it becomes clear why breakfast is indeed the most important meal of the day. When children get a balanced meal in a positive, stimulating environment, there are marked improvements in behaviour and concentration. 

Academic performance, social skills, self-confidence and the ability to interact with peers and adults all improve when a child eats a nutritioius breakfast in the morning. Overall interest in the subjects being taught increase and incidents of bullying decrease."

P.S. In the 1985 movie the "Breakfast Club"  the male characters closely represented a collage of my own life!

HELLO GENTLE READERS!

 
  I am happy to report that consumer resistance is shrinking towards the new all Electric Tesla vehicles. Soon Tesla will be mass marketing all Electric vehicles with Four to Six hundred Kilometer range at prices meeting the economic capacity of middle class consumers. 

 They will be able to do that utilizing new light weight materials such as Graphene and Sylicone. While Tesla and the Japanese are planning ahead, General Motors will not be providing all Electric vehicles any time soon! They continue to value Gas engines and they want us to buy into their Volt and Bolt hype. In 2015 they are trying to sell us limited range Electric vehicles which carry Gas burning Electric generators. They are once again asking to be kicked down the road by the Japanese car companies. Find Craig Froehle's web site for a surprise!

A fan of +Tesla Motors runs this website -- http://supercharge.info/ -- which includes a fantastic map of all  Craig Froehle has a great map showing Tesla's Supercharger locations and how they are spreading across the world.His site provides a lot more information than Tesla's own website, including when building permits are filed for new locations, when those locations begin construction, and when they become active for charging. Plus, there are route- mapping tools. What is just amazing is how fast Tesla is putting up these Superchargers...every couple of weeks, there are new dots and traffic cones sprinkled here and there across the world. Superchargers provide DC fast charging that adds up to 210 miles of range in a half-hour.

HERE IS ABSOLUTE PROOF OF GLOBAL WARMING.

Gentle readers:
Here is the absolute proof of global warming.                                                                                                                                                     

For those of you who may still doubt the existence of global warming, the following link will bring you  absolute proof of global warming. It is far past the time we remove fossil fuels from our lives.
 The year 2014 was Earth’s warmest in 134 years of records, according to an analysis of surface temperature measurements by scientists at NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS). In a separate, independent analysis, scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) also found 2014 to be the warmest on record. With the exception of 1998, the ten warmest years in the instrumental record (dating to 1880) have all occurred since 2000.
The map above depicts global temperature anomalies in 2014. It does not show absolute temperatures, but instead shows how much warmer or cooler the Earth was compared to a baseline average from 1951 to 1980. The GISS team assembles its analysis with publicly available data from roughly 6,300 meteorological stations around the world; ship- and buoy-based observations of sea surface temperature; and Antarctic research station measurements. This raw data is analyzed using an algorithm that takes into account the varied spacing of temperature stations around the globe and urban heating effects that could skew the calculation. For more explanation of how the analysis works, read World of Change: Global Temperatures.
“This is the latest in a series of warm years in a series of warm decades,” said GISS Director Gavin Schmidt. “While the ranking of individual years can be affected by chaotic weather patterns, the long-term trends are attributable to drivers of climate change that right now are dominated by human emissions of greenhouse gases.
Since 1880, Earth’s average surface temperature has warmed by about 0.8 degrees Celsius (1.4 degrees Fahrenheit), a trend largely driven by the increase in carbon dioxide and other human emissions into the atmosphere. The majority of that warming has occurred in the past three or four decades, which is reflected in the NASA GISS data below.
