Sathya Sai Baba Whoever subdues egoism, conquers selfish desires, destroy one’s bestial feelings and impulses, and gives up the natural tendency to regard the body as the Self, is surely on the path of Dharma; they know that the goal of Dharma is the merging of the wave in the sea! In all worldly activities, you should be careful not to offend propriety, or the canons of good nature; you should not play false to the promptings of the Inner Voice, you should be prepared at all times to respect the appropriate dictates of conscience; you should watch your steps to see whether you are in someone else’s way; you must be ever vigilant to discover the Truth behind all this scintillating variety. This is your duty, your Dharma. The blazing fire of Jnana, which convinces you that all this is Brahman (Sarvam Khalvidam Brahma) will consume into ashes all traces of your egoism, and worldly attachment.

” Meet this Young Man from Netherlands who is Trying to Findout a Solution Cleaning the Ocean ..”

Will the Oceans Soon Be Clean?

Every year, over 8 million tons of plastic trash gets dumped into the ocean. The trash is not only unsightly, but also a serious hazard to marine life. Animals get stuck in bags and other bits of plastic; others try to eat the garbage thinking it’s food, and many end up hurt or worse. This information may cause one to ask if this is the legacy we’re leaving for future generations.

Ocean Cleanup

Knowing this, Boyan Slat – a 20-year-old man from the Netherlands, has been trying to find a solution. Finally, he came up with an ingenious way that will allow the ocean to clean itself (with a little help).

Ocean Cleanup

The plan is to set up specially-designed floating barriers in key locations around the globe. These locations are gyres – large system of circular ocean currents that are formed by global winds and the Earth’s rotation. The gyres circulate the ocean water around the Earth, making them the ideal location to trap all of the garbage.

Ocean Cleanup

Slat created a non-profit organization called Ocean Cleanup, to aid in the funding and deployment of these oceanic barriers. The barriers aren’t nets since nets trap and kill marine animals. Instead, they are large V-shaped buffers. To stay in place, they are anchored not by heavy objects, but rather by large, floating buoys.

Ocean Cleanup

Water can freely flow under the buoys, allowing animals to pass freely while plastic gets trapped and funneled upwards making it easy to collect and remove.

Ocean Cleanup

Despite many setbacks, it was announced in May of 2015 that the Japanese government decided to deploy the first system in 2016, near the island of Tsushima. The first system will be a 6,500 feet (1.9Km) wide, and it will be the largest floating system in the world.

Ocean Cleanup

The most incredible part of this story, is that Slat raised the funds for his organization over the internet, and his team calculated that by deploying a 62 mile (100km) array, the system will be able to clean up as much as 42% of all of the ocean’s garbage within a decade. If you’re trying to understand the sheer numbers of that, those 42% equals 70,320 tons of waste.

Have you Heard about these Aircraft Designs … ?

The 20th century saw an amazing array of new vehicles – from cars to ships to submarines and airplanes. Some of these designs are still used today, their basic premise being so dead on. However, some designs were less than ideal, and what follows are the aircraft designs that just weren’t as good as the rest, but are still fascinating to see. Enjoy this collection of strangely designed planes.
