WOMEN AND THE WESTERN LIFESTYLE

The tragic oil spill within the Gulf of Mexico is a huge warning call for all of us. We all have to cautiously contemplate the negative effect the actions of corporations and individuals are having on our world’s ecological system. A lot has been written and will continue to be written about BP and the PR nightmare it created itself through the record oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. However you might not have been told that there is a different ongoing environmental controversy centered around the issue of deforestation and a company called Asia Pulp and Paper (APP). Small businesses and organizations in all places can learn an important lesson from the situation APP finds itself in. APP is a division in the mega business, Sinar Mas, and refers to itself as one of the earth’s foremost pulp and paper companies.

APP has of late been connected to being a serious contributor to deforestation. Deforestation, people-caused disappearance of naturally occurring forests by means of logging or burning, is a huge dilemma in today’s world. It is estimated that approximately 50% or more of the earth’s plant and animal life reside within the seven percent of the earth where rainforests currently exist. For example, the most renowned of rainforests, the Amazon, a spectacular 5.5 million square kilometer rainforest in the heart of South America encompassing sections of 9 separate countries, offers no more than 82.3% of the wet broadleaf forest cover it enjoyed in 1970. It is also estimated that between 1991 and 2000, the total loss of Amazon rainforest increased from 415,000 square kilometers to almost 600,000. The data above is according to Wikipedia.

A different lesser known although still struggling rain forest, the Indonesian rainforest, has made recent headlines following a statement from Greenpeace. Inside the report, Greenpeace accuses Asia Paper and Pulp of “relentlessly trashing rainforests, driving species extinction and, if left unchecked, will threaten Indonesia’s efforts to address climate change.” Reported by CNN.com, Indonesia is one of the planet’s major culprits of emitting greenhouse emissions mainly due to clear-cutting and burning of rainforests for logging and additional purposes. Indonesia has long been a recipient of criticism for its environmental practices mainly because of disregard for global and even their very own laws. APP is currently going through a public relations nightmare due to the Greenpeace report, and of course is claiming Greenpeace’s claims are exaggerated. Nevertheless things recently took a turn for the worse for Sinar Mas as in July, 2010, Wal-Mart, announced they have taken steps to stop purchasing their paper, as a result of this and additional controversies associated with APP. Sounds like APP’s denial of the issue is making things worse and now costing them major business. The disappearance Wal-Mart’s business over the next year will considerably affect their bottom line.

This takes us to an excellent question: In today’s difficult global economy, how can companies make certain they are instituting environmentally-friendly and energy efficient business practices and never on the wrong side of a Public relations controversy? Business.Gov, the official business link to the American Government, has a 10-step guide to help organizations ensure they are energy efficient, compliant with environmental rules, and recognized as a green business. Listed here are the steps: Follow Environmental Laws, Cultivate an Environmental Management Plan, Build Green, Acquire Green Products, Implement Energy Efficient Practices, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle Wastes, Conserve Water, Prevent Pollution, Create a Green Marketing communications Strategy, and Join Industry Partnership and Stewardship Programs.

Step 4 Obtain Sustainable Products, is a superb suggestion that a great many companies fail to think about. A unique way to boost awareness about deforestation while marketing your product is through eco friendly promotional products like seed paper, that is made of actual seeds and can still develop and sprout into a flower when planted. Something as simple as seed cards such as a seed business card or a seeded thank you card can create a truly unforgettable interaction with a client or industry colleague. You could potentially also incorporate a statement concerning deforestation on the stationary, making it absolutely clear about where your business stands on ecological issues. Another one that stands out on this list is step 6, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle Wastes. Remembering to cut back as well as reuse is the best way to get rid of the need to recycle in the first place. Now is the time to take action to prevent deforestation as well as ensuring your company is recognized as being a green business, as a consequence solidifying your green reputation. The 10 steps above are a terrific manual for any business owner or CEO to implement green practices in your business. Embrace the challenge of continuously improving your organization’s ecological footprint. Your company’s leadership and example can help end the devastating effects of deforestation and the investment will be well worth it.

Gulf of Mexico crude oil leak requires wastewater management services to the surprise of no one. Learn how an oil skimmer machine differs from an oil separator. Discover what the International Space Station, Mexico and Singapore can teach us about resolutions to water pollution.

Gulf of Mexico oil spillage validates the old saying that oil and water thrown together do not mix. Many millions of gallons of raw petroleum are leaking in the water system in the Gulf area. It is contaminating saltwater, wiping out animals and nauseating local inhabitants. Recovering clean water from the oily water is a pressing need.

40,000 to 330,000 gallons, depending on the person calculating, have been erupting every day since April 20, 2010. 550 oil skimmer boats perform their duties nearby. More than 200 million gallons of rock oil must be siphoned off from seawater although the leak may get repaired by July 27. Energy companies responsible for this spill anticipate sealing off the effluent on or before July 27.

Gulf occupants are naturally curious about whether water quality will ever return to the Gulf. Fishing businesses, commercial seafood firms rely on the sea to support nearly one quarter of a million people. Tourist attractions have their success partly because of unspoiled beaches. A great deal of regional identity is woven together with maritime culture.

The shrimp boats have gone away. Even docking facility owners marvel when they look out and see just a wooden pier and poles. It is as if shrimp boats have crept upon their stomach onto the seashore someplace. There they wait, beached like a whale, favoring the land to the oily peril of the tide.

Oil Skimmers And Separators

Water in this region can become usable again. Very smart people are exploring many technologies. Oil skimmers are currently removing the crude that floats of top. A lot of the oily substance has sunken down below the waves. Removing submerged contaminants is the job of separators. Machines have evolved to remove all types of floating organic material such as pond scum. Inorganic material, dust and debris can be skimmed.

When Is Wastewater Not Wastewater? When People Purify It!

Satisfactory amounts of aqua pura for human and agricultural use may be had if reprocessing of sewage occurs. Ecologists have proposed recycling in the event that resources have dwindled away. For example, in some areas of Mexico in which pure aqua pura remains deficient, reclaimed resources (wastewater) irrigates vegetable crops. Mexico is not the only place that has this advanced technology. Wastewater management companies supply the Space Station and the country of Singapore with this same super high tech equipment.

Recycling equipment keeps improving. Astronauts in the Space Station use sophisticated water recycling equipment. A portion of the water a space crew consumes during supper is urine. Machinery on board their science laboratory mixes urine with H2O collected from other sources. It gets served again.

Singapore recycles sewage. It calls it NEWater. Most of this reclaimed liquid does not get drank by humans. Only about 2 percent feeds into its drinking supply. But within a few decades Singapore will fill nearly 100 percent of its need through reclaimed sewage, desalinization, recycling, and conservation. So there is a possibility that ecological damage can be reduced if not reversed. Cleaning up after a large petroleum spill takes years but people have not yet exhausted all available technologies.

Gulf of Mexico crude oil leak demands heavy use of wastewater management services to get out of this bad situation. Know the distinction between oil skimmer and oil separator machines. Uncover a high tech International Space Station water recycling technology. One source of drinking water for astronauts is quite shocking.

Although Celebrity Dreams can have a wide range meanings and can represent many different things both in our dream state and in the natural, for the most part famous Celebrity Dreams like dreams of deceased family members, friends and dreams of angels customarily represent counsel, reassurance and give the dreamer knowledge and a comforting message of hope within which to take refuge. This interesting type of dream often materializes in a time of trouble, indecision and crisis when a celebrity living or deceased will appear in a dream as a messenger bringing news. For a more in-depth study on celebrity dreams .

In many ways even as adults, when we are confronted with situations or crises that at the time of the problem seem more than we can handle, childlike memories will surface in our minds of heroes we looked up to. For the most part, these heroes were people we watched at the movie theater on the big screen or other individuals who crossed our path in our youth.

Dream Example by Kiku T. Yamada: In the dream, a former boyfriend was standing in a tree house facing the dream screen; after a moment, he changed into Denzel Washington. In front of Denzel Washington was a woman who represented a symbolic grandmother figure of my family sitting in a rocking chair, resting. Across the tree house floor on the far side of the room were several carton boxes, stacked one within another, as one collects before moving. Inside the middle box and laid over the side was a dark orange cloth.

Denzel as a hero figure messenger picks up one edge of the tree house floor and turns the foundation a full 360 degrees around.

The Christian actor represented real Christians and a symbolic hero. He became a tag team member who held family up in prayer and persevered doing spiritual warfare to help save his family. The grandmother represented my past family generational curses (spirits of darkness: a principality and cohort demonic spirits [samurai ancestry] Nazi spirit of torment and terrorism; spirit of witchcraft; lack; rejection, abandonment; sickness and disease]) whom matriarchs in the family stayed in steady prayer for deliverance from generational curses having prayed continuously for years for spiritual rescue for family.

The rocking chair in the dream represented God answering generations of matriarchal prayer through an accelerated divine reversal because these women had rested trusting in God. The carton boxes represented an abundance and sufficiency that will be provided by The Lord to the family in restoration and an amazing change of new beginnings represented by the orange cloth for all the many years the enemy demonic spirits oppressed the entire family.

Outcome Of The Dream: My mother and sister are new people since receiving dreams and new insights into who God really is in their lives. My mom, as all mothers, wish they could have done more in the way of protecting their children from hurts. My sister and myself had been in prayer for many months for The Lord to show my mom how to forgive herself first and again feel the joy and presence of The Lord in her life. This past Christmas, my mother expressed how she felt so happy being together with family again as a complete unit.

Dream Example by Kiku T. Yamada: The dream opens up with a school bus carrying a bus load of children. They are traveling on a field trip. Standing nearest the school bus driver is Robert Redford. Standing in the stairwell of the bus is Paul Newman. Just outside a few feet from the door to the bus is a little girl with a backpack and hat holding out a release slip. She is asking for my help to get her on the bus, despite her tardiness in arriving.

Paul Newman gives the signal in the movie The Sting to Robert Redford with his index finger along the side of nose. Redford then looks in my direction and cues me with the same hand signal and a wink indicating to let the little girl come aboard. This dream was sent to me to show me how far I’d come since the early ’70s.

The little girl who was late getting to the school bus represented those who have not been taught the knowledge of The Lord, possibly because of a spirit of unbelief having had been a generational curse in their families, and how our ministry Dreammessenger will help them come to know The Lord even though they tarried a bit.

A messenger: As a rule, we associate most movie stars with good, not evil. Therefore, when we see a celebrity or movie star of good character portraying a role in a film, the celebrity’s presence in a dream symbolically represents a messenger helper coming to bring us good news of emotional support, physical or financial help in the natural.

Dream Example: 09.23.06 by Kiku T Yamada: Robert Redford is dressed in a red-and-black print shirt and jeans standing before an outdoor BBQ pit. He is at the grill cooking. To his right side is a table (communication) topped with stuffed green peppers and another side dish. To the right of the table is a dark-haired, darkly dressed woman (someone he knew and trusted who tried to sway him about the course his life should take) sitting at a picnic table.

Confirmation: 09.26.06, three days later I had received a real time confirmation while watching TV that relates to a real dream sent to me by God. Robert Redford interviewed by James Lipton on the Actor’s Studio TV program-Redford spoke about the reason why he left the San Fernando Valley because he could not see himself remaining in a community where the only thing the cubbyhole house residents were interested in was buying a BBQ. So, at age 15, he left for Hollywood; he desired a famous life. This dream demonstrates the veracity of exact truths brought by movie stars as messengers via dreams.

My dream journal is now filled with dreams about Marlena Dietrich, Lucille Ball, Ava Garner, Sir John Gielgud, George C. Scott, Dean Martin, Carol Burnett, Meryl Streep, Robin Williams, Steve Martin, Pierce Brosnan, Fiona Hughes, Bruce Willis, Brad Pitt, Richard Gere, Armand Assante, Robert Downey, Jr., Dan Ackroyd, Eric Roberts, Will Petersen, Marisa Tomei, Steve Buscemi, Andy Garcia, Jackie Chan, Sela Ward, Cote DePaulo, Sean Murray, Vincent D’Ofrio and many more movie stars.
