Mind Control - An Owner's Manual...

Michael Mathiesen

A.I. or - Thinking outside the box!  Mind Control is the first Owner's Manual that will help usher in a new species of human being, a species who will respect their home planet and put it first above all other priorities. I call him 'Homo Planetae' or Man of the Planet. Homo Sapiens or the Wise Man is no longer viable since it is this species that has brought us to the edge of extinction and the total destruction of this planet's habitat - something no other creature in history has been so careless and greedy to do. We did that. An evolutionary branching off of an obsolete species and onto a new more advanced creature is now taking place right before our eyes, but 'None are so blind as those who will not see.' 
Through your increased abilities of using your mind or 'Mind Control' as this author defines it - we still have a chance to redeem ourselves and save this planet. But time is of the essence and is rapidly running fading.  It's only by casting off the mind control by evil forces for the last few billion years that we have a chance to advance our civilization past the next few decades and on into the far distant future.  Failing this adventure, we will surely go extinct in a few years. 
The ways in which we are mind controlled by our government and our corporations, our religions are profound yet so subtle we don't even think about it until it's too late.  In this book you will find the new rules of our future evolution, some mind control exercises that will make you more in charge of your life and ways to turn us away from our current path towards the precipice, oblivion, the cliff. It's not out of the question, but every day we put off joining the growing list of people who know about Mind Control and the Owner's Manual, the greater are the chances that we may be able to save ourselves. All future generations will thank us - but only if YOU show you are part of us.

Subdivided - City-Building in an...

Jay Pitter, John Lorinc

How do we build cities where we aren't just living within the same urban space, but living together?

 
Greater Toronto is now home to a larger proportion of foreign-born residents than any other major global metropolis. Not surprisingly, city officials rarely miss an opportunity to tout the region’s ethno-cultural neighbourhoods. Yet there’s strong evidence that the GTA is experiencing widening socio-economic disparities that have produced worrisome divisions. We say that ‘diversity is our strength,’ but has a feel-good catchphrase prevented us from confronting the forces that seem to be separating and isolating urban communities?

 
Through compelling storytelling and analysis, Subdivided’s contributors – a wide range of place-makers, academics, activists and journalists – ask how we can expand city-building processes to tackle issues ranging from transit equity and trust-based policingto holistic mental health, dignified affordable housing and inclusive municipal governance. Ultimately, Subdivided aims to provoke the tough but pressing conversations required to build a truly connected and just city.

Cougar Bay Nature Preserve -...

Theresa Shaffer

Fighting for Ecological HeritageIn 1992, a Hawaiian developer proposed a subdivision on Cougar Bay's northern shore, just two miles south of Coeur d'Alene. Dedicated, tenacious locals took on the seemingly impossible goal of stopping the "Cougar Beach" development. Unlikely allies--environmental activists and a cantankerous landowner--banded together. Private and public groups stepped up. In 1997, The Nature Conservancy purchased major shoreline areas and created a nature preserve. The sanctuary remained unaltered until more private land was gifted to the Bureau of Land Management and Kootenai County. After thirteen years of heroic perseverance, the Cougar Bay Nature Preserve became a reality. Idaho Wildlife Viewing Guide calls it one of the state's best wildlife viewing sites. Theresa Shaffer chronicles the battle to preserve this oasis for locals, visitors and wildlife alike.
