THE NEW ANT and the Grasshopper, Two Versions

THE  NEW ANT and the Grasshopper, Two Versions: 

 

The  ANT 
AND  THE 
GRASSHOPPER

 

This  one is a little different.... 
Two  Different Versions ... 
Two  Different Morals  

 

OLD  VERSION

 

The  ant works 
hard  in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and  laying up supplies for the winter.

 

The  grasshopper 
thinks  the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.

 

Come  winter, the ant is warm 
and  well fed.

 

The  grasshopper has 
no  food or shelter, so he 
dies  out in the cold.

 

MORAL  OF THE OLD STORY:

 

Be  responsible for yourself!

 

MODERN   
VERSION

 

The  ant works hard 
in  the withering heat and the rain all summer long, building his house   
and  laying up supplies for the winter.

 

The  grasshopper thinks the ant 
is  a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.

 

Come  winter, the shivering grasshopper 
calls  a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be   
allowed  to be warm and well fed while he is cold and starving..

 

CBS,  NBC, PBS, CNN, 
and  ABC show up to 
provide  pictures of the shivering grasshopper 
next  to a video of the ant 
in  his comfortable home with a table filled with food.   
America   is stunned by the sharp contrast.

 

How  can this be, that in a country of such wealth, thispoor grasshopper   

is  allowed to suffer so?

 

Kermit  the Frog appears   
on  Oprah 
with  the grasshopper 
and  everybody cries when they sing, 'It's Not EasyBeing Green ...'

 

Occupy  the Anthill stages   
a  demonstration in front of the ant's 
house  where the news stations film the SEIU group singing, We  shall overcome.

 

Then  Rev Al Sharpton's assistant 
has  the group kneel down to pray for the grasshopper 
while  he damns the ants. The Reverend Al can not attend as he has contractual commitments to appear on his MSNBC show for which he is paid over two million dollars a year to complain that rich people do not care.

 

 

President  Obama condemns  the ant 
and  blames 
President  Bush 43, President Bush 41, President Reagan,  Christopher     Columbus, and the   
Pope   
for  the grasshopper's   
plight….

 

Nancy  Pelosi & Harry Reid 
exclaim  in an interview on The View    
that  the ant has 
gotten  rich off the back of the 
grasshopper  ,   
and  both call for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his fair  share.

 

Finally,  the EEOC drafts 
the  Economic  Equity & 
Anti-Grasshopper  Act 
retroactive  to the beginning of 
the  summer.

 

The  ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number   
of  green  bugs and, 
having  nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the  Government  Green Czar 
and  given to the grasshopper ...

 

The  story ends as we see the grasshopper 
and  his free-loading friends finishing up the last bits of the ant's food while the government house he is in, which, as you recall, just  happens to be the ant's  old house, 
crumbles  around them because the grasshopper  doesn't maintain it.

 

The  ant has disappeared in the snow, never to be seen again.

 

The  grasshopper  is found dead in a drug related incident, and the house, now  abandoned, is taken 
over  by a gang of spiders  who terrorize the ramshackle, once prosperous   and  peaceful, neighborhood.

 

The  entire Nation collapses 
bringing  the rest 
of  the free world with it.

 

MORAL  OF THE STORY:

 

Be  careful how you vote in 2014 and 2016.

 

I've  sent this to you because I believe that you are an ant   
not  a grasshopper !

 

Make  sure that you pass 
this  on to other ants ..

 

Don't  bother sending 
it  on to any grasshoppers 
because  they wouldn't 
understand  it, anyway

There is a 90% likelihood that we take back our country from the Federal Reserve and its minions

“Specifically, a gap between the United States and Germany, the leader of Europe now and into the foreseeable future, generates frictions and dissatisfaction within the Western alliance. This dissatisfaction in turn, raises the potential of a challenge between the US and an emerging giant in Asia. Contrast this structure with the alternative that was emerging after the war in Afghanistan. A German – led EU was coordinating anti-terrorist efforts with the US. Russia, France and Japan seemed to be participating in an expanded NATO/EU/Atlantic Alliance. China was now neutral. Given this structure the potential challenge from a dissatisfied Asian power could be delayed until the end of this century.”

“[T]he forecasts produced by [the model] were shown to be both more specific and more accurate than the results generated by the Directorate of Intelligence…[A]nalysts…have a tendency to look to the future as a projection of the past, while [the model], to the contrary, begins with the assumption that policies are the product of changing political forces that are estimable…[I]t may be noted that it generates forecasts about policy outcomes using information on how stakeholders (i.e., those with both an interest in an issue and an ability to affect its outcome) are positioned on an issue, how important the issue is to them, and how much power each stakeholder has. ..How does the model fare? Quite well, in fact. ..[T]he model was used “to analyze scores of policy issues in over 30 countries” (275). …[T]he model’s rate of accuracy was about 90%, and when the forecasts of the model and CIA analysts differed, the model’s forecast was correct in every case.

Knight of Malta Martin Dempsey ducked my question about military strength and the US dollar at his townhall meeting on December 2, 2013: Here's my question to General Dempsey:

With the Federal Reserve Note weakening against other currencies, 25% of international trade no longer denominated in US dollars, and the US credit rating on the verge of being lowered by the new Universal Credit Rating Group, do you think it is time to accept the offer of the authorized signatory to the Global Collateral Account to release the uncut dollars issued by the US Treasury department and back them with the 170,500 metric tonnes of gold on deposit in the Bank of Hawaii? https://s3.amazonaws.com/khudes/embennell.docx

A member of the US’ Armed forces has this to say about what is really going on in the military: “[A] concealed foreign enemy and its American minions are on their last legs because…it has two fatal vulnerabilities: its needs for: (i) public invisibility and, (ii) control of the U.S. military to enforce its concealed global schemes…The enemy’s critically important control of the U.S. military is rapidly evaporating. The American, Russian, and Chinese militaries–in concert–have determined the wisdom of bringing to an end the plans for fomenting a World War III and its New World Order pretensions and its murderous existence. Closing with the enemy has already begun.

Jogger Ticketed for Crack-of-Dawn Run!

Sheriffs and Larry Klayman,

It is NOW coming to the point that Running is PREPARING in anticipation to commit a crime and RUN FROM THE COPS!
Children are BANNED for playing in the school yard as it is Endangerment to the child.
Yet now preparing for the Ironman Triathlon will be ILLEGAL as that makes them better to commit a crime and get away from the Cops.
Well, maybe the Cops better train for the Ironman Triathlon, yet that is an Excessive Cost for Obamacare!

Morning Glory: Jogger Ticketed for Crack-of-Dawn Run Through Central Park
http://observer.com/2014/02/morning-glory-jogger-ticketed-for-crack-of-dawn-run-through-central-park/

By Mimmi Montgomery and Sage Lazzaro 2/28 4:18pm

    Here’s my actual summons for running in Central Park this morning “before the park opened.” SMH. http://t.co/cWDRl3Bkoi

    — Peter Shankman (@petershankman) February 27, 2014

Runners have joined jaywalkers on the NYPD’s to-ticket list.

CEO Peter Shankman was issued a summons for running in Central Park too early in the morning, Gothamist reports.

Mr. Shankman, who is an “author, entrepreneur, speaker, and worldwide connector,” and founder of Help a Reporter Out, was stopped by cops around 4:30 a.m. on Thursday near 85th Street on the park’s East Side.

    I just got a SUMMONS for running in Central Park at 430am “before it opened.” ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME NEW YORK CITY?

    — Peter Shankman (@petershankman) February 27, 2014

He said he was training for the Ironman Triathlon and getting his 10 miles in before his morning meeting, Mr. Shankman wrote on Facebook.

But apparently, Central Park is closed between 1am and  6am, making his early morning run a criminal act.

Mr. Shankman claims there were no signs, gates, or traffic cones indicating that the park was closed.

“Note – Running in the park. Not ‘performing sex acts for crack,’ or ‘laying down explosive charges,’ but ‘running.’ Because apparently, a 215 pound man running through Central Park at just over a 9:10 pace is a threat to Manhattan,” he posted on Facebook.

Mr. Shankman wondered why a simple warning was not sufficient, but it was clear to him that the officer’s boss was in the car pressuring him to write the ticket.

The hardened criminal plans to fight what he believes is a bogus charge in court in May.

“And therein lies the irony—I was trying to get in better shape—exactly the point of all the other laws the last 12 years have seen, from no smoking in bars to no big gulps full of sugary sodas,” he told Gothamist.

Next time he should just run faster to lose the cops.

Utilities Desperate to Quash Dissent, Shut Off Activist Leader’s Electricity

On the heels of Northeast Utilities admitting that smart meters are “irrational”, we’re seeing the wheels of reason and logic further come off the centralized energy cart(el).

In what is an illegal and thinly-veiled “psy-op” (psychological operation) attempting to stem the rising tide of awareness of the massive rights violations associated with their ‘smart’ meter deployments, Plumas Sierra Rural Electric Cooperative (PSREC) actually disconnected the electricity from the home of Joshua Hart, a leader in the movement and director of StopSmartMeters.org.

As documented in our boat-rocking film Take Back Your Power, so-called ‘smart’ meter deployments are beleagured on many levels, being linked to in-home surveillance, unjustified billing increases, extortive “opt-out” practices/fees, home and appliance hackability, health symptoms (from pulsed microwave radiation and high-frequency voltage transients), and a rather long list of home fires.

Baby’s Rare Brain Tumor Had Teeth

Rachael Rettner

A 4-month-old infant in Maryland may be the first person to have had teeth form in his brain as a result of a specific type of rare brain tumor, according to a new report of the case.

The boy is doing well now that his tumor has been removed, and doctors say the case sheds light on how these rare tumors develop.

Doctors first suspected something might be wrong when the child’s head appeared to be growing faster than is typical for children his age. A brain scan revealed a tumor containing structures that looked very similar to teeth normally found in the lower jaw.

The child underwent brain surgery to have the tumor removed, during which doctors found that the tumor contained several fully formed teeth, according to the report. [14 Oddest Medical Cases]

After an analysis of tumor tissue, doctors determined the child had a craniopharyngioma, a rare brain tumor that can grow to be larger than a golf ball, but does not spread.

Researchers had always suspected that these tumors form from the same cells involved in making teeth, but until now, doctors had never seen actual teeth in these tumors, said Dr. Narlin Beaty, a neurosurgeon at the University of Maryland Medical Center, who performed the boy’s surgery along with his colleague, Dr. Edward Ahn, of Johns Hopkins Children’s Center.

“It’s not every day you see teeth in any type of tumor in the brain. In a craniopharyngioma, it’s unheard of,” Beaty said.

Craniopharyngiomas commonly contain calcium deposits, “but when we pulled out a full tooth…I think that’s something slightly different,” Beaty told Live Science.

Teeth have been found in people’s brains before, but only in tumors known as teratomas, which are unique among tumors because they contain all three of the tissue types found in an early-stage human embryo, Beaty said. In contrast, craniopharyngiomas have only one layer of tissue.

The boy’s case provides more evidence that craniopharyngiomas do indeed develop from the cells that make teeth, Beaty said.

These tumors are most often diagnosed in children ages 5 to 14, and are rare in children younger than 2, according to the National Cancer Institute.

The boy is progressing well in his development, the researchers said. However, because craniopharyngiomas are tumors of the pituitary gland — a gland in the brain that releases many important hormones — they often cause hormone problems.

In the boy’s case, the tumor destroyed the normal connections in the brain that would allow certain hormones to be released, Beaty said, so he will need to receive hormone treatments for the rest of his life to replace these hormones, Beaty said.

“He’s doing extremely well, all things considered,” Beaty said. “This was a big tumor right in the center of his brain. Before the modern surgical era this child would not have survived,” Beaty said.

The teeth were sent to a pathologist for further study, Beaty said, and generally, these types of tissue samples are saved for many years in case more investigation is needed.

The report is published in the Feb. 27 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.

Medicinal ginger for health and garden

Rady Ananda
Activist Post

One of the world’s most potent disease-fighting spices, ginger, is easy to grow and comes in a variety of over a thousand different species.  Medicinal ginger most often used is Zingiber officinale.

The Real Food Channel reminds us, “Pharmaceutical companies would have you believe that their expensive and potentially toxic medications are the way to treat nausea, cold and flu symptoms, migraines, and other illnesses.” But, Ken McCarthy asks, “What if a common food, easily available and inexpensive, could treat all of these conditions and more?”

In the video below, Dr Akilah El presents “The Health Benefits of Ginger,” which has been used for over 5,000 years as a natural remedy for a host of ailments, including:

• Relieves nausea;
• Eases arthritis;
• Aides digestion;
• Reduces respiratory problems;
• Prevents motion sickness;
• Fights ovarian cancer;
• Lowers cholesterol;
• Prevents migraines;
• Prevents blood clots; and
• Treats cold and flu symptoms.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LN2QDaQr38&feature=player_embedded














And, it’s easy to grow indoors or out.  Ginger loves it hot, humid and shady. Think of its natural environment – it’s an understory forb in lowland tropical forests.  That landscape is soggy and well drained.  In a pot, the soil should be damp and well drained.

Different species can grow from 3-15 feet in height and about 3 ft. wide.  While its flowers are exotic, it is the underground stem, the rhizome, that packs the medicinal and flavorful punch.

Herb Gardens advises that you select “a plump, smooth-skinned ginger root” for planting. If it’s skinny and shriveled, “the root has been stored too long and has become old.”

Sara Elliot at The Herb Gardener recommends that you use “large root pieces that are shiny and chubby and have little nubs or horns on them. These are the sections that will sprout.”

Soak it for a few hours and lay it on the soil, then just cover it with more soil. Some folks will add worm castings or other organically rich material to the mixture. Most importantly, the soil must remain moist and drain well.  The best soil pH for ginger is slightly acidic, between 6.0 and 6.8.

Keep it at or above 75 ºF (24 ºC) and 70-90% relative humidity (RH).

It’ll take several months for your plant to reach its full height. Depending on conditions, that can be between 4 and 10 months.

In cold climes, bring the pot indoors. “Allow the foliage to yellow and fade; then trim it off,” says Elliot. “Moisten the soil once a month to keep the roots viable. In the spring, after all threat of frost has passed, place the pot in a warm shady spot and watch for a new set of shoots. Repot plants in Spring every couple of years.”

You can begin harvesting it when you see little nubs at the soil line. Cut off the portions at the edge of the pot, rather than near the center.

Then, like the above video recommends, make your tea or spice your meals with it.
