A Different Kind Of Harvest


http://www.govtech.com/local/Solar-Wi-Fi-Enabled-Water-Wheel-Pulls-Trash-From-Baltimores-Inner-Harbor.html

All over the world you hear complaints about how dirty and trashy the waters are.  It goes from the many rivers to even the ocean.  Well this machine has everyone asking for the instructions on how to make it.

The first one of it's kind is nick-named, "Mr. Trash Wheel."  It was made in the Baltimore's Inner Harbor in Baltimore Maryland in 2014.  It costs about $720,000.00 to make.  It was obtained through many private and public funds.  

The creator of this magnificent machine was developed right on a napkin by John Kellett who was a former Museum director.  He says that it is a cross between a space ship and a covered wagon.   It sits in the water, is powered by Wi-Fi and uses solar energy.  Everyone one of these are Green Energy.  The craft is monitored by computer.

There are boomers that gather the trash in and there is a conveyor belt that brings all that trash up and them at the end of the conveyor belt is a huge garbage dumpster.  The garbage is then transported to a transit station.

Though it may seem small in the vastness of many waters on this earth it is a beginning.  Since 2014 it has cleaned up 12 garbage dumpsters full of chip bags and cigarette butts, which was only in the first 48 hours after a heavy rainstorm.  Since it was first put int he water to do the cleanup of the harbor it has amassed some 354 tons of garbage.


It is so popular and so needed that many other countries are asking for the plan to create this machine of their own.  Two of the prominent ones are India, who wants to clean up the Ganges River and Brazil who wants to clean up their Guanabara Bay in lieu of the hosting the Olympic Games.

Girls Rule


Many think that men rule the whole entire world and even in to animals kingdown and into as far down as the insect kingdom.  That isn’t true at all.

Walking Sticks are ruled by girls.  They do not need males to reproduce.  The females can reproduce all by themselves and what do they reproduce?  They reproduce females only.  There are thousands of females out there.  So this is a species that are ruled by Girls in the insect world.

In the animal world the Bonobo monkeys that live south of the Congo River in Africa are ruled by Girls.  They do not fight over food or territory but they do make love.  I mean they use sex to make everyone happy. They also use sex as recreation and not only for mating.  Humans are not the only species that that uses sex as a form of recreation.   

Sadly they are on the endangered species list.  Why destroy when we can be observers?  Poaching is very rampant in those parts, but that the same time it is said that the area south of the Congo River is the most unexplored place on Earth. You can read much more about them here: http://a-z-animals.com/animals/bonobo/

In some tribes in the Amazon and other places on this Earth, it is the girls who rule their nations and Governments.  There are women who have and are ruling whole countries, from B.C. to the present times.

Girls Rule in insects, mammals and in countries.  So why are we still thinking that men are the only ones on this Earth that rule or should rule anything or anybody?

Western Religion still teaches that men are the only ones that have the ability to preach and rule over countries.

Salmons in Canons! What Are We Doing?




It sounds good that they are helping the Salmon get into the lakes that they spawn in.  They are using a type of soft sided cannon to fire these fish into the lakes and dammed areas that they spawn in to help them with the yearly track to reproduce.

I have some concerns with this.  It is just putting a band aid on a man-made problem with another man-made solution.  Every single time that we fool with the workings of Mother Nature we produce problems for ourselves later down the road. 

The problems that I see are:
1.      How are the salmon going to get back down stream and into the oceans until the next migration to spawn again?
2.      I see this as a problem with the fish and wildlife that are already in the upper part of the dam with the addition of these that could not make it.
a.      It will definitely cause some species to decrease in the waters as these salmon will take over the big pond.
b.      It will definitely cause an abundance of other species, such as bear to be on the increase in population as salmon is their favorite food source.
3.      When there ae more problems with more bears, will humans kill them in the long run, make them close to extinction too?

We grow salmon in fish farms and there are others that grow certain species of fish in enclosed habitats in the lakes and oceans in other parts of the word.


When we fool with Mother Nature she always finds a solution to those problems that we have made.
