Imagine a closed-loop ecosystem that can fit anywhere… offering the freedom to grow food year round.
Changing the world of industrial agriculture and food shortages can start in your house. My cousin co-founded this project and has already installed several larger-scale aquaponic gardens in Haiti, working with locals to become more independent and sustainable. Where next?
You can help the project move forward. Check out the link to Aqualibrium’s Kickstarter campaign.
The US budget is like a 1st grader playing Oregon Trail. Spend all the money on ammunition so you can shoot at stuff, then wonder why your wagon is falling apart and everyone is dying of dysentery.
Al-Shabab claims deadly Nairobi mall attack | The Somali group has told Al Jazeera it carried out the deadly attack inside the Westgate shopping centre in neighbouring Kenya.
On its own Twitter account, al-Shabab, which has links to al-Qaeda, said it had “on numerous occasions warned the Kenyan government that failure to remove its forces from Somalia would have severe consequences”.
A senior Kenyan security official has put the death toll at 11. However, the Kenyan Red Cross says at least 30 people were killed and dozens injured.

It is an apparently unshakeable bit of folk wisdom masquerading as science that, if people simply undertake a regimen of attempting to eat less and exercise more, they will lose significant amounts of weight and keep it off permanently. For most of the past century, medical and public health authorities have been telling Americans that they can become “ideally” thin by restricting caloric intake and increasing activity levels. Hundreds of millions of Americans have attempted to follow this advice – and we see the result. As was pointed out nearly 25 years ago by William Bennett and Joel Gurin, “the standard ‘sensible’ recommendations to change eating habits and diligently use caloric charts are no more than elaborate folklore, expressions of faith in a world that ought to exist, but in fact does not.”
Indeed, if the public health establishment’s advice on this issue was sound, there would be almost no fat people in America (the government’s own statistics indicate that around 90% of all obese people diet regularly. In other words, almost all fat Americans are undertaking the cure that obesity researchers and the weight loss industry have provided for their “disease”). The vast majority of people who attempt to lose weight eventually gain all the weight they lose back. A significant percentage of them gain back more than they lost: at least a third of such people who have been followed for at least five years. Ironically, this suggests that a significant portion of the weight gain observed in the American population over the course of the past century is attributable to dieting.
