Blinking electrionic cereal boxes foreshadow a nightmarish new age of annoying advertisements
Sweet Lord have mercy. This will certainly turn out to be one of the most irritating mis-uses of technology for marketing purposes ever. One could envision legitimate uses use for big, cheap flashing displays– road signs, elevator buttons, etc… but this … this.
Don’t be surprised if you start to see people falling down in the fetal position and having seizures in the cereal and soda pop aisles (assuming you even go to this type of big chain store that would have flashing cereal boxes, hopefully not).
Flashing, strobing imagery exploits the fight or flight mechanism to distract your attention. When a human, (or any animal) sees blinking light out of its’ peripheral vision, that activates a very important survival instinct, which in the wild can mean the difference between being someone’s lunch and living another day. Advertisers know this. It’s a tactic of activation of stress-inducing neural pathways for brand imprinting, and an assault on our collective peace of mind.
Corporations beware, there are many consumers who find this to be annoying and wasteful. There is no need to put disposable electronics in cereal packaging. Why don’t you donate that few cents per box to some starving children in a 3rd world country instead, and print that on the box (with regular ink). There’s your advertisement. Do something good.

New Transistor Bridges Human-Machine Gap
By Stephanie Pappas, TechNewsDaily Contributor
livescience.com – 19 May 2010 02:22 pm ETHumans and machines could be one step closer to merging thanks to a new transistor controlled by the molecule that powers biological cells.
The nano-sized device could be used in medical devices or prosthetics wired directly into the human body.
“Our devices make a bridge between the biological world and the electronic world,” said Aleksandr Noy, who developed the transistor along with colleagues at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories in California. “In effect, we made a biological protein talk directly with a nanoelectronic circuit.”
Transistors are electronic components that can modulate or switch current on and off in a circuit. To make one that would respond to a biological molecule, Noy and his team borrowed from living cells.
First, they built the backbone of the transistor out of a carbon nanotube between two electrodes. Next, they insulated the electrodes and covered the nanotube with a mixture of fatty molecules called lipids and proteins. The covering formed a lipid “bilayer” — a double lipid membrane — much like those that make up the outer membranes of biological cells.
The researchers then poured a solution of sodium ions, potassium ions and adenosine triphosphate, or ATP, over the transistor while running a voltage through it. In cells, ATP is the primary source of energy. It fulfilled the same role in the transistor, powering the proteins embedded in the lipid bilayer.
These proteins began working, transferring sodium and potassium ions across the bilayer. The charges from the ions created an electrical field around the transistor, which then changed the ability of the transistor to conduct electricity by as much as 35 percent. The higher the concentration of ATP, the more the conductivity changed.
Getting a biological molecule to control the electric current in a transistor is a first step toward computers that would interface directly with the brain, Noy told TechNewsDaily.
That could include “futuristic” devices that would translate thought directly to typed words, he said, but could also have a more immediate application in the field of prosthetics.
To develop machines controlled by the mind, “we will need to have a way for our [brain cells] to talk to the electronic systems,” Noy said. “I think what we demonstrated is a first step towards that distant goal.”

Vortex Based Mathematics by Marko Rodin
This video is sprinkled with metaphysical and religious commentary, but hopefully that won’t prevent anyone from seeing the beauty in this math.
4:35:03 (That’s 4 1/2 hours)
(Google Video) Within, you will be taken on a spiraling tour through the toroidal roller coaster of our deterministic universe. Dark Matter, the vibratory essence of all that exists, is no longer on its elusive hide and seek trip — it has been found! With the introduction of Vortex-Based Mathematics you will be able to see how energy is expressing itself mathematically.
This math has no anomalies and shows the dimensional shape and function of the universe as being a toroid or donut-shaped black hole. This is the template for the universe and it is all within our base ten decimal system!
You have entered a place where Numbers are Real and Alive not merely symbols for other things. You will discover that the relationships between numbers are not random or man-made but that numbers are actually elementary particles of which everything is composed.
This lost knowledge was well known to our ancients and is now being uncovered for us today. Gradually you will come to see numbers in a simple yet profoundly perfect three-dimensional matrix grid pattern that forms the shape of a torus. The number grid reveals the calibration and timing for an engine that can take us throughout the universe and solve mankind’s energy needs.

Water Filtration
Crystal Quest Thunder 1000CP Reverse Osmosis Ultrafiltration System
I installed one of these under my sink and have been thrilled with the quality of the water. Reverse Osmosis filtration is the most efficient and effective form of filtration available. Removes fluoride and other hard-to-filter contaminants. The water tastes amazing!
Royal Berkey Water Filter
with 2 Black Filters and 2 Free PF-2 Fluoride Filters Gravity fed, no electricity or water pressure required. Filter stagnant pond water to drinkable in an emergency. Stainless steel- won't leach BPA or pthalates. Removes fluoride and arsenic unlike Brita and other fridge filters.
Berkey Black Replacement Filters
These are carbon filters that remove organic contaminants. They do not remove fluoride. PF2 or PF4 post-filters remove fluoride and arsenic
