Author and biodiversity advocate Johnny Armstrong has been a longtime healer, first as a pathologist dedicated to helping other providers diagnose and treat disease and injury, now as a conservationist.
Johnny’s first novel, Shadowshine , featuring quirky animal characters inspired by Zak the poet- possum , is a story of self-discovery and perseverance. It’s also a strong reminder that humankind does not have dominion over nature. All of the animal kingdom and all things in nature deserve respect and acknowledgment. Notes Johnny, “Man does not have dominion over anything. Thinking we do is the whole problem, relegating nature below us. It’s hubris. And nature is showing that, with wild climate swings and now, Coronavirus.”
Shadowshine takes a stand against the environmental destruction of the planet, showing the struggle between the forest folk and the “sans-pelages” (a/k/a “no-hides, no-hairs”) humans led by a monster named Mungo who is ravaging his species and the rest of the animal kingdom alike.
Johnny says he doesn’t know when humanity lost its self-identity as part and parcel of “the family of life.” He says, “We are forest folk as much as the raccoon. We’re animals evolved in the family of life, from 3.8 billion years of evolution. We’re kin to animals, plants, and microbes.
“Here we have the identity crisis of humans when face-to-face with nature. We have lost our sense of being members of the family of life. That helps explain the seeming obsession with being in control of nature, instead of accepting science that tells us just the opposite. The story that biological science tells us ultimately leads down to the molecular level. And that becomes vastly complicated when all the environmental factors are considered. It’s mind-boggling. But then, that’s what makes science so much more fascinating than human contrivance.”
He emphasizes, “Mother Nature isn’t sweet, but she certainly is in charge.”
Human lack of appreciation for our membership in the family of life, and placing nature at a lower level, relegates biodiversity to a secondary role, Johnny believes, making it easier to exploit and destroy. “There is a worldwide crisis of ecosystem destruction,” he proclaims. “National Geographic reported last year that 150 to 200 species are going extinct globally on a daily basis.”
What will happen if we don’t change course? Johnny says that’s not a fully-answered question. “How will we get along? How can we continue to raise agricultural products without pollinating insects, soil microbes, worms so affected by pesticides in use today? Then, there is the taking away of landmasses that are holdouts of biodiversity.”
Johnny explains, “There’s so much we can draw from being in a natural setting with so much biodiversity. There’s a whole world of biology crawling with species not identified. We have so much to learn. For example, the tropical rain forests, comprising only about 5% of the landmass, account for fully 50% of biodiversity in the world. They’ve been massively destroyed so rapidly. There is so much to draw from scientifically. It’s a chemical factory, which among other things holds cures to major diseases, as we’ve already seen.”
He adds, “We speak of getting an education. A ‘well educated’ person may not know five species of birds in their backyard. Is that person really educated?”
It’s emergency time Notes Johnny, “Scientists have been telling us about the crises of global warming and ecosystem destruction for more than 35 years, yet precious little has been done. So now, ‘all of a sudden’ we have a crisis. Do we have the intellectual capacity to save ourselves? I’m not certain we do. I can’t tell you I’m optimistic, but I am ever-hopeful. If we just stop destroying habitats with deforestation and replacing vital rain forests with palm oil groves and cattle ranches and stop replacing living biodiverse North American forests with single-species pine plantations that have the biodiversity of cornfields; and we begin saving and restoring more wetlands and prairie habitats, I believe we would be off to a good start. Restoration and protection of ecosystems will definitely be required and are effective.”

At last a book that not only makes quantum physics understandable for general readers but shows how it has practical value for us. Author Dr. Robert M. Oates Jr. presents this abstract, theoretical topic in a step-by-step manner that makes it comprehensible. He explains the discoveries that are revolutionizing the way we see the world, and he captures the drama and conflicts involved in overthrowing the old scientific worldview and building the new. In conclusion he presents the benefits this knowledge can have for our individual lives.
Early researchers in quantum physics couldn't believe their own evidence that proved matter, supposedly the basis of the universe, is fundamentally insubstantial. At the quantum scale, the ground state of the universe, it dissolves into waves of a nonmaterial, abstract field, and even these waves have only potential existence.
Quanta aren't physical particles but energy frequencies. They exhibit mass at the macro scale only because of their energy, as Einstein established with his discovery that energy is interchangeable with mass.
The position and speed of quanta are interconnected in such a way that it is impossible to know both of them. The more exactly one is determined, the more uncertain the other becomes, so their motion can't be predicted.
More amazing yet, an objective world independent of the observer doesn't exist. Observer and observed are linked at the quantum scale. The realm of discrete objects is transcended and everything unites into an wholeness that is inherently subjective, since nothing exists but that. What we think of as solid matter is just vibrations continually emerging from and dissolving back into a nonmaterial unified field. As Einstein said, “everything is vibrations”. The frontier of science now lies in discovering more about this field.
Consciousness and the Quantum shows how the unified field exhibits inherent intelligence. This is seen in the “patterns in nature … such as the systematic evolution of the stars, the configuration of electrons in an atom, or the energy-producing chlorophyll cells in a plant. … This is not to say that flowers … can think or form purposes: but it is to say … that the natural world is characterized throughout by the display of intrinsic intelligence.”
This intelligence is also apparent in the molecular structure of crystals. These intricate, three-dimensional patterns give matter its apparent solidity. “‘Solid matter' is just a way of speaking about complex patterns of intelligence.”
On the biological level, “cells display inherent intelligence. … The swirling dance of patterns within the cell displays an intricate, intrinsic intelligence in both structure and function. And it is precisely these problem-solving patterns that add structural rigidity and occupy space.”
Consciousness and the Quantum makes the case that the unified field and all its manifestations, including us, are simply consciousness interacting with itself. The book takes us beyond the false duality of matter and mind, object and subject, realism and idealism into an integrated synthesis in which “a boundless, completely abstract realm of consciousness — extant everywhere at the most fundamental level of intergalactic creation — would give rise to both mind and matter.” “Objectivity and subjectivity are one, the infinite diversity and dynamism displayed in the universe consists of a single, fundamental constituent — consciousness.” “Consciousness is an omnipresent, unbounded field at the most basic level of nature. … Just as the worldwide ocean exists, interconnected, as one boundless medium, supporting propagating waves of its own nature, so … consciousness is one vast ‘ocean', omnipresent throughout the universe, supporting propagating waves of its own nature. … The propagating waves are identified as the ultimate building blocks of the natural world.”
The book takes this knowledge out of the realm of theory and shows us how to benefit from it in our daily life. It describes a practical method for contacting the unified field in our own consciousness. This is achieved in meditation when the mind is alert and aware but free of thoughts, the state of samadhi. There we aren't thinking about the unified field but experiencing it as our deepest nature. When practiced on a regular basis, this enables us to bring some of the field's qualities of intelligence and energy out into the manifest, active level to improve our lives and the world around us. “The use of systematic meditation technologies can align the individual human mind with the limitless intelligence displayed in the laws of nature.” “By thus living in tune with the laws of nature, we can experience an upgraded, expanded version of life.”

How to Get Things Done and Make a Huge Difference in Your Life (Especially if You’re a Procrastinator)

Just Do It Apart from the subtitle sounding like a Nike advert , never a truer word was spoken .
We 're all faced with a pile of stuff from time to time ( or all the time ) that we just do n't want to face up to .
Our back-burners have buckled under the weight of ‘ to do ' .
Trouble is , it can literally weigh us down ( I know this sounds bizarre but as I clear out my sh*t , the more weight drops off ) as well as figuratively — causing a weight @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a neat person ( although my husband would protest ) and apart from being one of those anal Virgo 's , I 'm also slightly OCD .
However , I 'm just as guilty as the rest in putting things off .
The other day I really noticed it in myself ( the inner sloth ) .
I was watering my garden and every flower bed I hit I found my inner dialogue repeating , ‘ I must pull that weed out sometime ‘ or ‘ I must put that back , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I need to re-pot that poor , dying plant ‘ .
This scenario may not seem like the end of the world to most but it 's representational of many little things that stack up to form avalanching mountains in our minds .
So , as I was clocking up a list of ‘ to do 's ' in the garden , I stopped .
The inner voice said , ‘ why do n't you do it now ? '
There was another voice in my head that protested that I did n't @ @ @ @ @ @ @ crops up a lot ) .
I thought about it for a sec and then just bent over and pulled out a half a meter weed ( one of those little ones that I kept on telling myself to pull that grew into a small tree ) .
And there is my ‘ ta-daa ' revelation .
Just do it .
Do n't think about it .
Just DOOOOO it .
I started trying this ‘ just do it ‘ approach to many other things and was actually quite startled at how LITTLE @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been putting things ‘ straight ' as I see them now and — for goodness sake — why have I not done this before ?
It really does n't take a lot of time to do smaller chores around the house , garden or office and when you act in the moment you save yourself a lot of time , bother and burden .
Maybe you do this already and I 'm just a slow learner — kudos to you .
But if you are a procrastinator that always delegates odd jobs to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the ‘ just do it ‘ system , see how it works for you .
The great benefit of this is it 's addictive — the more you ‘ clear up ' and see how nice it looks , the more you want to achieve .
Go on , just do it !

We're all faced with a pile of stuff from time to time (or all the time) that we just don't want to face up to. Our back-burners have buckled under the weight of ‘to do'.
Trouble is, it can literally weigh us down (I know this sounds bizarre but as I clear out my sh*t, the more weight drops off) as well as figuratively — causing a weight on our shoulders.
I'm quite a neat person (although my husband would protest) and apart from being one of those anal Virgo's, I'm also slightly OCD. However, I'm just as guilty as the rest in putting things off.
The other day I really noticed it in myself (the inner sloth). I was watering my garden and every flower bed I hit I found my inner dialogue repeating, ‘I must pull that weed out sometime‘ or ‘I must put that back, the wind blew it over‘ or ‘I need to re-pot that poor, dying plant‘.
This scenario may not seem like the end of the world to most but it's representational of many little things that stack up to form avalanching mountains in our minds.
Back to the Garden Revelation
So, as I was clocking up a list of ‘to do's' in the garden, I stopped. The inner voice said, ‘why don't you do it now?'
What a novel idea!
There was another voice in my head that protested that I didn't have the time now (that voice crops up a lot). I thought about it for a sec and then just bent over and pulled out a half a meter weed (one of those little ones that I kept on telling myself to pull that grew into a small tree).
And there is my ‘ta-daa' revelation.
Just do it. Don't think about it. Just DOOOOO it.
Other Applications
I started trying this ‘just do it‘ approach to many other things and was actually quite startled at how LITTLE time it truly takes. I've been putting things ‘straight' as I see them now and — for goodness sake — why have I not done this before?
It really doesn't take a lot of time to do smaller chores around the house, garden or office and when you act in the moment you save yourself a lot of time, bother and burden.

Maybe you do this already and I'm just a slow learner — kudos to you. But if you are a procrastinator that always delegates odd jobs to another time — I challenge you to the ‘just do it‘ system, see how it works for you.
The great benefit of this is it's addictive — the more you ‘clear up' and see how nice it looks, the more you want to achieve.
Go on, just do it!

“ The Trump administration has repeatedly violated the law in its relentless pursuit of seeing Keystone XL built , and it would have been unconscionable to allow this pipeline to be built through rivers , streams , and wetlands while it remains tied up in court , ” said Doug Hayes , a senior attorney with Sierra Club , following the ruling by the Ninth Circuit .

In another legal victory for opponents of Keystone XL and similar pipelines, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit on Thursday upheld a lower court ruling that suspended a federal fast-track permit for the controversial tar sands project that campaigners for nearly a decade have opposed as a climate-destroying effort of the first order.
Siding with the previous ruling and against the Trump administration, the court's ruling said the government and fossil fuel companies behind the project “have not demonstrated a sufficient likelihood of success on the merits and probability of irreparable harm to warrant a stay pending appeal.”
Last month, as Common Dreams reported at the time, the U.S. District Court in Montana ruled that the Trump administration's Army Corps of Engineers violated the Endangered Species Act when it issued what became “Nationwide Permit 12.” The ruling by that court vacated the Trump-backed permit for Keystone XL and also prohibited the Corps from replicating the use of the fast-tracked approval process for other similar projects.
While Bloomberg reported the ruling as “a major blow to the energy industry,” climate campaigners celebrated it as confirmation that Keystone XL is rightly recognized as a hazard and that President Donald Trump acted unlawfully by trying to ram through its construction.
“The Trump administration has repeatedly violated the law in its relentless pursuit of seeing Keystone XL built, and it would have been unconscionable to allow this pipeline to be built through rivers, streams, and wetlands while it remains tied up in court,” said Doug Hayes, a senior attorney with Sierra Club. “We're glad to see the court recognize the threat this dirty, dangerous pipeline poses to communities, wildlife, and clean drinking water along its route, and we’ll continue to fight to ensure it is blocked for good.”
Jared Margolis, a senior attorney at the Center for Biological Diversity, said, “Contrary to what the Trump administration has argued, the law is clear. We won't sacrifice imperiled species so giant corporations can profit from the dirty fossil fuels that pollute our waters and climate.”

Got a bookcase in need of a makeover? Check out these five styling tips to make your bookshelf better fit in with the overall theme of your apartment.
It can be quite easy to pick out couches that match your apartment’s color scheme and style. You can even put a slipcover on your couches when it’s time to make some decor changes.
But, a bookshelf can be a little tricky.
Seriously, what can you really do to decorate furniture that’s only for holding and storing books?
Quite a few things, actually!
After all, you’re not limited to just painting your bookshelf in an attempt to fit your home. So, let’s review five easy steps you can take to style your bookshelf to match your apartment!
1. Figure Out Your Style
If you really want to have your bookshelf match your apartment, you need to figure out the style you’re going for.
Think about it.
It won’t make sense to style your bookshelf in a farmhouse style if the rest of your apartment has more of a modern look.
Here are some popular interior design styles that you might gain inspiration from:
Contemporary
Mid-century modern
Minimalist
Traditional
Farmhouse or cottage
Once you decide on a style, you need to do a little of your own research. Focus on learning what makes each of these styles their own.
Is it a particular color scheme or pattern?
Or, is there more weight on the structure or the layout of the bookshelf?
2. Choose a New Color
The key to styling your bookshelf to match your apartment lies in the color choice.
So, think about the color of your coffee table or your entertainment stand. If you want all the furniture in your apartment to match, it’d be a good idea to buy paint that’s the same color.
And, you really can’t go wrong with a pure white or black.
But, maybe you want your bookshelf to be the focal point of your living room. If that’s the case, more vibrant colors like lime green, blue, or bright pink might be a better selection.
Perhaps you want more of a mid-century modern look. In that situation, you’ll want to keep that natural appearance and simply stain the wood instead.
What’s also pretty neat is the fact that you can use wallpaper to style your bookshelf. You can attach a patterned wallpaper behind the shelving for a more uniquely-styled look. This will pretty much guarantee that your bookshelf is the new focal point.
Some Extra Coloring Tips
As easy as it might be for you to pick out a color and paint, you need to make sure that you’re coloring your bookshelf the right way.
If you’re painting a wood bookshelf, you might want to sand down the wood first. You’ll then use a layer of primer before adding the color you’ve chosen. Just make sure that you’re painting with the grain for a smoother paint job.
In terms of the type of paint you should use, acrylic or enamel is probably best.
When it comes to staining the wood, you’ll also want to sand down the wood first. But, you want to focus most on being conservative about the amount of stain you’re using.
Make sure you’re cleaning up any extra globs that might be lingering for more even coloring.
3. Reorganize the Books
Once you recolor or wallpaper your bookshelf, it’s time to move onto the organization of your books.
Your home isn’t a library.
So, there’s no need for every single book to be in color order, alphabetical order, or even size order. Play around with how you organize the books on your bookshelf.
Experiment with laying them horizontally or vertically. Have a few sitting at an angle. Or, separate them by category or theme and decorate each shelf similarly.
And, you don’t have to showcase every single book that you own.
Since your bookshelf is somewhat of a focal point in your living room, you don’t have to put your boring college textbooks or yearbooks on display.
You can use individual books as centerpieces for a more decorative appearance. That includes the Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings series.
4. Include Storage Space
Since you live in an apartment, space might already be pretty tight. And, your bookshelf probably isn’t filled to the brim with all sorts of books.
So, why not use the empty parts of your bookshelf as storage space as well?
One great way to do this is by investing in several small metal or wicker baskets.
Since they’re not transparent, you can store your knick-knacks and not take away from your bookshelf appearance. Plus, you can easily match your baskets to your home’s decor.
You can declutter your living room without your guests even knowing!
5. Add Your Personality
Who said bookshelves only store books?
Get ready to add a little more style to your bookshelf. It’s time to add a little bit of your personality.
Think about the things you enjoy. Now, how can you incorporate these things into your new bookshelf?
Here are some examples.
Let’s say you like traveling. So it might make sense to add a mini globe to your bookshelf. Or create a picture collage of places you’ve visited. You could even frame the plane tickets from your favorite adventure.
Maybe you’re more of an artist. You might want to add tiny sculptures or mini paintings to a few of the shelves.
But, the options are practically limitless.
Here’s a list of things you definitely can add to diversify your bookshelf.
Candles or diffusers
Photos of people
Your college and/or high school diploma
Glass bowls or vases
Indoor plants like cacti
A fish tank
Try to include items and objects that show off who you are. After all, you want the focal point of your living room to represent your own personal style.
Conclusion
You don’t have to buy new furniture or accent pieces to style your apartment. You can play around with what you already have and make it your own.
One great way to do this is by styling your bookshelf.
Choose a style that fits your apartment and recolor the shelving as you choose. You might even get a little daring and add some wallpaper to the backdrop.
Then, take the time to reorganize your books and add some items that lend a little flair to your apartment. In a few short hours — the job is complete!

Recycling is a better option than just throwing away plastics and getting new ones. However, it is not possible to recycle every plastic product. Hence, going plastic-free will lead to create less waste that the world will have to deal with.
Aforementioned points provide just a glimpse of what a healthy option plastic-free living is in recent times. So, now it is up to you to take a step to save the environment and lead a healthy and happy lifestyle.

Of course, they will also have to be absent of any big grammatical errors.

‘If You Want to End Unrest, End the Conditions That Create It,’ Declares Ocasio-Cortez Amid Nationwide Protest

In a video message posted to Instagram on Saturday amidst days of nationwide protest in response to the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis , Minnesota earlier this week , Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez issued a plea to anyone calling for the end of the “ unrest ” stirred by brutality and oppression to focus on the root causes of poverty , distrust , and violence in American society .
“ If you are calling for an end to this unrest… but you are not calling for the end to the conditions that created the unrest , you are a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ post .
“ If you 're trying to call for the end to unrest , but you do n't believe healthcare is a human right .
If you 're afraid to say Black Lives Matter .
If you 're too scared to call out police brutality—then you are n't asking for an to unrest .
You are asking for injustice to continue and for your people to continue to endure the violence of poverty , the violence of lack of housing access , the violence of police brutality and not say a damn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ asking for.
” “ So if you 're out here , ” she continued , “ asking for an end to unrest , you better be asking for healthcare as a human right , you better be calling for accountability in our policing , you better be supporting community review boards , you better be supporting the end of housing discrimination , you better be standing up to for-profit real estate developers that are intimidating people and trying to evict them from their homes—that 's what you better be calling for .
Because @ @ @ @ @ @ @ things and you 're asking for the end of unrest—all you 're asking for is the continuation of quiet oppression.
” Ocasio-Cortez said lawmakers , politicians , and anyone else making such calls must make sure that there is no demand for an end of protest that is not coupled with demands for “ measures that actually liberate people in their lives from the oppression of economic and social inequity.

At the start of the coronavirus crisis, Twitter CEO and co-founder Jack Dorsey shocked the world with his promise to donate $1 billion, or about 28% of his wealth, to help with the economic fallout from the pandemic. Now, Dorsey says that he plans to give away all of his money within his lifetime.
This week, Dorsey appeared on an episode of the “Yang Speaks” podcast for an interview about artificial intelligence, universal basic income, and meditation, among other topics. During the interview, he spoke about his recent philanthropic efforts, and discussed how the pandemic has accelerated the move towards automation and the need for a universal basic income.
“I live by the principle of everything is connected, so if someone is in pain, I’m in pain, ultimately, over time…I want to make sure that I’m doing whatever I can in my lifetime to help that through my companies’ works, through my own personal giving,” he said.
“I’m in a situation that I never imagined when I was a kid or [even] when I was 25. I didn’t have any aspect of what money would mean until I was, probably 35.I’m so grateful, but part of gratitude is not just saying I’m grateful, it’s doing. I want to give out all my money in my lifetime. I want to see the impacts, selfishly, in my lifetime. I want to make sure that we’re helping people,” he added.
The interview was published as Dorsey was announcing his $5 million contributions to Yang’s universal basic income organization “Humanity Forward.”
Dorsey says that universal basic income is “long overdue” and he believes that “the only way we can change policy is by experimenting and showing case studies of why this works.”
“Every single field is going to be touched by automation, and UBI to me represents a floor. A floor that people can stand on, and have the knowledge and peace of mind that they could survive and eat and feed their children while they are learning how to transition into this new world,” Dorsey says.
