A step in hope for liberation and regeneration. Movement in rhythm with the flow of life. A ceremony for the being that we call home. Sparked by an impulse of compassion, an unknown Goddess arrives, takes on the colors of the surroundings and dances for Gaia.

Solar panel made with ion cannon is cheap enough to challenge fossil fuels

Solar panel made with ion cannon is cheap enough to challenge fossil fuels  – extremetech.com

“When all’s said and done, if you buy Twin Creeks’ equipment, it is promising a cost of around 40 cents per watt, about half the cost of panels currently coming out of China (where the vast majority of solar panels are made). At that price, solar power begins to encroach on standard, mostly-hydrocarbon-derived grid power — but, of course, we still need to create batteries that can store solar power over night.”

we need a change of the paradigm – dialogue of civilizations — my latest work

~ florries ~ Leave a comment

I’m very proud to present my latest film:

Every autumn since 2003 the ancient Greek island of Rhodes hosts a session of the World Public Forum «Dialogue of Civilizations» called the Rhodes Forum that brings together public figures and statesmen, academics, religious figures and representatives of the arts, mass media and business spheres from all over the world. The sessions of the WPF «Dialogue of Civilizations» proved the urgency and efficacy of the Forum by bringing the focus of world public opinion to the problems of intercultural dialogue and the need to work out instruments to make interaction among cultures and civilizations possible. The results achieved by the Forum give a hope for further harmonization of international relations and strengthening of stability in the world.

The riots, the environment and our responsibility

~ florries ~ 1 Comment

In the search for reasons behind the behaviour of the wild rioters in the UK, I’m missing the issue of the vast environmental destruction of our planet, even in articles that contain a deeper social analysis (for more, a Swedish article here, an Austrian article here). Talk about kids feeling that they have no future. Why should they care about the laws of “the grown ups” – about anything – when they are being told that they, or at least their future children, might not have a future at all – not even a shitty one.
