truththeory--2020-05-26--This Tower Filters Smog Out Of The Air And Turns It Into Diamonds

The Dutch artist Daan Roosegaarde has created an innovative tower that sucks smog out of the air and turns it into beautiful diamonds .
The Smog Free Tower , as Roosegaarde ’ s team calls it , has been deployed in cities across the world , including Rotterdam , Beijing , Tianjin and Dalian .
The tower filters an estimated 30,000 cubic meters of polluted air per hour .
The structure is a 7-meter tall aluminum tower which uses only 1170 watts of solar power and positive ionisation technology .
Initially , the tower created a large volume of waste @ @ @ @ @ @ @ waste was made up of carbon .
“ We had buckets of this disgusting material in our studio , ” says Roosegaarde .
They devised a plan to condense the carbon down enough to where it would turn the carbon into diamonds , and it actually worked !
Once the diamonds are retrieved , they are then used for rings , cufflinks , and similar products .
“ It ’ s all about connecting new technology with creative thinking .
If you start thinking about that , there is so much you can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do , ” Roosegaarde said .
The team is expanding their vision to other deployable structures , including billboards .
In a recent partnership with students from UDEM University in Mexico , Roosegaarde ’ s team set up a smog eating billboard that works using the same technology , and cleans the air that an estimated 104,000 people are breathing each day .

Hopefully, people can return to their normal social lives soon, but just in case we are living in some type of post-apocalyptic cyber-punk pandemic, an inventor is creating a hazmat suit that is built specifically for going out to the club. The suit comes with a tight-fitting helmet, an air filtration system, and LED lighting accents.
Miguel Risueno, head of inventions for Production Club, is behind the inventive design.
“Micrashell is a solution for bringing people together safety. It’s a half suit that kind of takes your safety and your security in terms of being close to airborne particles or viruses to the next level,” Risueno told NBC New York.
Risueno explained that he came up with the idea after seeing the debates about people going out to spring break during the pandemic.

At least 11 local news stations in the United States were caught airing the same scripted segment about Amazon , and their role during the COVID-19 pandemic .

If you’re unbothered or mildly bothered by the 1st knee, but outraged by the 2nd, then, in my father’s words, you’re “more devoted to order than to justice.” And more passionate about an anthem that supposedly symbolizes freedom than you are about a Black man’s freedom to live. pic.twitter.com/kxpVOEeTNR — Be A King (@BerniceKing) May 26, 2020

Even before the coronavirus pandemic, there has been a strong push towards organic, local farm produce over the past few decades.
The organic movement actually started in the early 1900’s. Since the 1970’s it has increased in momentum and over the past 20 years the movement has rapidly gained in popularity as we’ve become more aware of what goes into our food and how it affects us.
Now, along the west coast of America, farmers are showing that through innovation and by working together and forming Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) alliances, local farms can overcome and potentially even thrive amidst the crisis.
One of the issues local farms have had to face is the closure of the restaurant industry in the United States.
Chez Panisse, a restaurant in Berkeley California, found itself in this situation. Since 1971, chef Alice Waters has based the restaurant’s cuisine exclusively on fresh produce sourced direct from local farms.
Concerned at no longer being able to support local suppliers through her restaurant, Waters set up a subscription CSA which has been providing residents with weekly food boxes made by local farms.
“I’m trying to connect our network with the people who would like to have that food in their home,” she said. “We can sort of skip the restaurant for now. We could help people do the cooking in their own kitchen.”
Long term relationships between farmers and consumers are a key element of the plan. To achieve this, local grassroots networks and digital markets are quickly being implemented.
Community Alliance with Family Farmers are one of the organizations which has stepped in to help bridge the gap between farmers and customers. They have provided educational webinars as well as software, legislation and funding sources.
Longstanding nonprofit organization Farm Trails have offered their website as a trading node and in its first two days of operating, web traffic increased by 1000%.
“We know our farmers well,” executive director Carmen Snyder explained. “We did outreach to them to see what they had. Spirit Works had plenty of alcohol, so they started making lavender sanitizer, giving it away to first responders and health care workers, and selling the rest at the local hardware store.”
F.E.E.D. Sonoma is another Bay Area food cooperative which has quickly adapted in the crisis, shifting its focus from serving restaurants to compiling and distributing food boxes.
“Our local food system is extremely diverse,” said co-founder Tim Page, “We have a ton of small farms but we don’t have the infrastructure to support them. That is what F.E.E.D. is trying to establish.”
Could local farms be the way for the future?
It’s because of the pandemic that more people are cooking at home rather than relying on take-out or ready-made supermarket meals.
Ideally, this shift towards eating healthy, organic and locally produced food should be the way forward; people would be healthier and small, organic farms could survive and flourish.
However, the path won’t be an easy one, as mass-produced, sometimes genetically modified produce remains cheaper. With other issues to face – such as fires, floods, and climate change, it could become critical for local farms to be seen as viable food options.
“How bold will people get in the months ahead to demand real change? My hope is they will get more radical,” said Michael Dimock, president of Roots of Change – a nonprofit which advocates for transforming the food supply system in California.

To prevent vacationers from gathering at an old quarry on Harpur Hill, near Buxton, the Derbyshire Police poured black dye into the water “to make the water look less appealing.” This move is just the most recent of many strange efforts taken by authorities to prevent people from visiting their favorite spots amid the ongoing quarantine.
Despite posts yesterday highlighting issues of people still visiting the #PeakDistrict despite government guidance, the message is still not getting through. @DerPolDroneUnit have been out at beauty spots across the county, and this footage was captured at #CurbarEdge last night. pic.twitter.com/soxWvMl0ls — Derbyshire Police (@DerbysPolice) March 26, 2020
According to The Evening Standard, the Derbyshire Police Department wrote on its Facebook page that, “Yesterday we received reports that people were congregating at the ‘Blue Lagoon’ in Harpur Hill, Buxton. No doubt this is due to the picturesque location and the lovely weather (for once!) in Buxton. However, the location is dangerous and this type of gathering is in contravention of the current instruction of the UK Government. With this in mind, we have attended the location this morning and used water dye to make the water look less appealing.”
However, it appears that the plan may have backfired, because the department’s message ended up tipping everyone off about the spot, which is a bit off the map and unknown to most locals. The local government has previously used similar tactics to keep people away from the quarry, because there were concerns about toxicity levels in the water. The beautiful color of the water in the quarry is reportedly caused by toxic chemicals in the quarry stone, which can cause skin irritations.
Last week, Truth Theory reported that skaters left a pile of sand out front of city hall in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, after officials filled their skatepark with sand to prevent them from using it during the stay at home orders.
In recent weeks, many places have started to slowly loosen restrictions on businesses as the quarantine measures approach their 3rd or 4th month, depending on where you are located.

Nopalimex are a Mexico-based company who are using an abundant local plant , the prickly pear , to create biofuel .

Nopalimex are a Mexico-based company who are using an abundant local plant, the prickly pear, to create biofuel.
Known locally as ‘nopal’, the plant thrives in the Mesoamerican region of Mexico and even features on the country’s flag.
It’s already an important part of Mexican food culture in that the flour needed to create tortillas and nacho chips can be made from the prickly pear.
Previously, the waste products from this process had been thrown away.
But local businessman Rogelio Sosa Lopez and Miguel Angel Ake recognized the potential to create biofuel from the oval-leafed prickly pear and formed Nopalimex, based in a small rural town called Camémbaro.
Another big advantage of the prickly pear, especially in a largely arid country, is that it requires little water.

“We are sowing nopal for three reasons,” Ake explained. “The first one is social – it creates jobs and prevents emigration. Secondly, from an economic perspective, it reduces the cost of industrial processing of nopal-based products. Lastly and most importantly, there is an environmental reason.”
The future of cacti biofuel

Crocraft and Hambler first noticed that the animal duo shared a strange codependent and intimate relationship with each other. While the giant tarantula was naturally capable of hunting and feasting on the tiny frog, they left these tiny creatures unharmed. They even live together!
The researchers also noticed that the young (still large) tarantulas would catch hold of the tiny frogs and examine them using their mouths, but not eat them. This curious behavior was noticed in other individuals of the two species as well. Turns out, the tiny frogs contain toxins in their skin that are not particularly palatable for the giant tarantulas. This could be a possible reason for their close association.
The relationship between a giant tarantula and a humming frog does not arise for the reasons that we wished for. Be honest, I’m sure most of us just wanted them to be each other’s companions because they found each other cute, and not because they can’t really eat each other due to skin toxins! Nonetheless, their behavior gives us everything that we need to brighten up our days.
A Giant Tarantula And A Humming Frog: Each Other’s Bodyguards?
Researchers have discovered the animal duo even share their tree holes, where they reside with their young ones. The giant tarantula protects the tiny humming frog from other predators. And, in turn, the tiny frog protects the tarantula’s eggs by eating small insects that can harm the yet-to-be-born tarantulas. They sort of become each other’s bodyguards!
In 2002, Jolene Csakany researched the mutual relationship between the animal duo in Peru. The researcher noticed that the tiny humming frogs could have fostered a similar relationship with other species of tarantulas.

Csakany took a frog that did not share this codependent relationship with the giant tarantula and placed a humming frog’s skin on top of it. The researcher noticed that the giant tarantula grabbed the frog and inspected it, but yet again, released it unharmed.
Mother Nature can be tough. We human beings depend on other human beings and other species (hug your dogs and cats!) to learn, evolve, and just live. Likewise, animals in nature too can build this partnership amongst themselves to survive. It’s the survival of the fittest in the jungle, so, a little bit of help and support doesn’t hurt.
Who knew a giant tarantula and a humming frog would be the ones to bring smiles in the middle of a global pandemic!

On 25th May 2020, an African American man, George Floyd’s death sent a wave of protests all over the United States against racial profiling and police brutality. The protest grew bigger and louder despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Many have taken to online protests in view of the current pandemic caused lockdowns.

Videos of police officers using force to subdue the on-ground protesters and journalists have flooded social media. Some videos show the officers handling tear gas, rubber bullets, batons, and flash-bang grenades. As tension keeps rising, some police officers have come forward in open support of the protestors standing against racism and police brutality.

One Sheriff in Michigan, Chris Swanson, told the protesters that he wanted to transform the ongoing protests into a parade. He then laid down his baton, protective helmet, and joined the crowd. Similar sentiments arose in New Jersey, California, Missouri, and North Dakota.

As places are slowly opening up, the chances of the virus spreading are only going to rise. We still require to stick to social distancing norms.

As per epidemiologist Dr. Emily Landon, we should try to go for outdoor spaces more than indoors. A list of places has been given different levels of risk. Here are 7 locations where you can enjoy your summer activities post-pandemic if you are careful:
High-risk places
Nightclubs
Nightclubs are extremely risky places after the lockdown gets over. Firstly, it is indoors. You end up coming in close proximity to people. There is a lot of sweating, and alcohol can put your guard down, so you won’t be too careful in a nightclub. The result: there will be more virus shedding and spreading in such a situation.

Religious services
Most religious services occur indoors and people from all walks of life enter religious places. It is a closed area and so, the infection rates can rise. Plus, people do not maintain the social distancing norms in religious places due to the lack of space or even the philosophy to be united.
An Epidemiologist, Kimberly Powers, has pointed out how there were outbreaks due to church service. 35 people out of 92 had contracted coronavirus when they were attending a rural Arkansas church. Singing in the choir requires close proximity and is highly risky. However, if you keep yourself socially distant, and if the authorities maintain social distancing norms, then the risk reduces.
Medium to high-risk places
Weddings with more than 10 people
Outdoor celebrations are great, and you might want to go for it for your summer activities post-pandemic. While experts are saying outdoors are good, it should not be a time to gather for a celebration. It is more possible to engage with social distancing norms when you are outdoors.
However, if there is a large congregation, then it becomes increasingly difficult to stay within the 6-feet distance from one another. So, if you are in for a wedding and there are many guests, then the infection rate shoots up. The best thing to do in this case is to postpone any congregation, including weddings and funerals. If you have to make a wedding happen, then try to keep it local. Bringing people from outside the community can result in an increase in virus transmission.
Haircuts
This lockdown has definitely made your hair grow long. You desperately need a haircut. However, it is better to wait for a few months more or start looking for an alternative. Haircut means close proximity to other people and the barber as well as breathing in the same air for a long period of time. Air is one of the chief transmission modes for this virus. An asymptomatic person can easily spread the virus without even knowing that they are the cause.
However, haircuts are necessary, and right now, most people are desperate to get one. So, for this reason, it’s best that you choose a salon where there are strict policies. The employees should be wearing masks and using proper sanitation measures. You should also wear a mask and try to visit salons in areas where the virus has not spread.
Low-Risk areas
The Beach
Surprised? Well, since the beach is outdoors and water can dilute the virus, it is a place where the virus transmission can be low. However, it is not a place where you can just run around willy nilly. You have to be careful if you are on the beach too. Since it’s the outdoors and the chances of a huge congregation are unlikely to take place on a beach, you can keep the 6-feet social distancing from other people. That way, you can protect yourself from getting the virus. So, the beaches are great for summer activities post-pandemic.
Going to a vacation house with a known family
You are probably eager to finally get out of your house and go for a vacation. Yes, you deserve it after all this while. However, you need to be careful during this phase. The good thing about going to a vacation house with a known family is that you can already gauge the risk factors. If you and the other family had been quarantining throughout this period, then the chances that you have the virus are pretty low. You are most likely not asymptomatic either. So, you can go to the vacation house stay. But be sure to do proper background checks and know that the family has not shown any signs of illnesses.

Varying risks
Malls and restaurants
Malls can a high-risk area. Malls can be crowded and much of the spread depends on how long you are staying inside the mall. So, if the place is really crowded and you are staying there for a long time, then the chance of getting infected starts to rise. Try not to mingle in a space for too long. It is preferable to go to outdoor malls rather than indoor malls. Try to avoid the food court at all costs. Restaurants and food courts can get crowded, and the close proximity can result in the transmission of the virus. Also, you will stay in a restaurant for a long time, and that will increase your chances of getting infected.
Summer activities post-pandemic is going to be hard. Stay safe, and while you can enjoy the summer activities post-pandemic, don’t lose control. Remember, we have a long way to go till we can gain immunity from this virus or get closer to a vaccine.
