The Maine Path to Sustainable Living
In order to have a big dream come true, it is first necessary to dream big. One way to implement these conditions is to develop a cost effective method for people to congregate in small communities that are self sufficient with respect to food, energy, and work. Buckminster Fuller, in his design and promotion of Old Man River City (OMRC), anticipated the need for communal living of this type. Nutritious food is a primary ingredient leading to good health. Dickson Despommier, PhD, maintains that vertical farms can provide such food. The objective, then, is to provide for the volume production of a standard community patterned after a reduced size OMRC that has a micro vertical farm integrated into its design. A standard 30 to 40 home housing development, self-sufficient with respect to food and energy and containing work and office spaces for the homeowners, can be volume produced for urban, suburban, or country settings such that homes contained therein will be ...

JsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? 23.08.08 Terug naar school in Congo: leerkrachten besluiten tot boycot (CongoForum)KINSHASA – De start van het nieuwe schooljaar dreigt de mist in te gaan bij de Congolese openbare scholen, meldt Radio Okapi. De vakbonden van de leerkrachten besloten in Kinshasa om de start van het schooljaar te boycotten. Volgens de vakbonden SYECO en SYNECAT is er nog geen sprake van een staking. Het gaat om ‘de niet-hervatting van het werk’, luidt het eufemistisch.De regering gaf nog altijd geen bevredigend antwoord op onze verzuchtingen, klinkt het bij de katholieke vakbond SYNECAT. Op 1 september gaan de leerkrachten dan ook niet aan de slag. De leerkrachten eisen betere sociaaleconomische omstandigheden, eenvormige loonbarema’s, de uitbetaling van achterstallige lonen en inspanningen zodat ouders niet langer moeten betalen aan de lesgevers.Op 13 september willen de bonden de toestand evalueren.

Local Rememberance Ceremonies Planned To Mark 9/11
9/11/08 - The nation is remembering the 7th anniversary of the September 11th attacks today in many ways. Locally, the Moving Wall is in place at Mt. Brighton and a ceremony to honor first responders is set for 8:30. Then the memorial will be open to the public. In Highland Township, a brief remembrance ceremony is planned at Veterans Park, on Livingston Road west of Milford Road. The Oakland County Sheriff’s Department and the Highland Fire Department will present a remembrance wreath and the color guard from the local VFW post will also be on hand. The public is encouraged to attend. It starts at 9 a.m. Governor Granholm has ordered U.S. flags lowered today to remember those who died on 9/11. The governor also is urging people to observe a moment of silence at 8:46 a.m., the time the first plane hit the World Trade Center. Copyright © 2008 The Livingston Radio Company, Inc.
