eBikes are the Rage
With the introduction of a new program that will compensate people for switching to electric bikes, France hopes to have a significant impact on the transportation industry. If participants in the "E-Bike Revolution" initiative decide to upgrade their current bicycle to an electric one, they will receive 4,000 euros. The objective is to reduce pollution and persuade individuals to switch from gas-guzzling automobiles to more ecologically friendly modes of transportation. If this effort is effective, it might represent a significant step toward weaning the nation off of conventional modes of transportation.

Physics of Faith
I hope that this information will be enlightening. Not just in what you learn regarding the facts that seem to point to the existence of a master intelligence, but also enlightening in another way, the way that we are being manipulated. By whom, I'm really not sure, spiritual warfare can be very covert and devious, but manipulated, nonetheless. Am I a conspiracy theorist? Not unless a conspiracy exists.

Tonga before the blast
Smoke fills the air. Not the smoke of a volcanic eruption but the cookfires of hundreds of family huts. It was 1986, and I visited Tonga on an Earthwatch expedition. Our task was to map the growing fields identifying the types of vegetation–taro, plantains, papaya, and coconut made up some of the target crops. Our direct observation used ground-truth satellite imagery. Once identified on our maps, we transferred the information to the satellite photographs of the island. This, in turn, allowed researchers to extrapolate the key colors to other islands in the South Pacific.

GOLDEN BLOOD
Nobody can hear the scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. I thought about that as the solar blast was announced and the countdown began. I knew ‘the end’ and my final breath was near. I could feel my throat sink into my stomach and the wind against the sweat of my neck. I would be surprised if anyone felt compelled to scream though, its vibrance and colorful resilience was beyond imagination and our insignificant demise was sparingly sharp. What was supposed to be the end was unknowingly the beginning of life, yet in its simplest form... the beautiful remains of consciousness after nature did its worst and the echos of its destruction.
