Good News: Europe’s Bears And Wolves Are Thriving Again
Here’s a fact that should make all of us Americans a little bit ashamed: Europe, with half of the land area and double the population density as the United States, is now home to twice as many wolves as the United States. And those wolves, along with other carnivores, are thriving!
A new study has shown that European carnivores are experiencing a massive resurgence in their numbers, and interestingly enough, mostly in areas of the continent that aren’t set aside as protected areas. This indicates that these carnivores and the people who settle near them are less at odds with one another than before. Additionally, some of that success is owed to international cooperation between European nations, strong regulations, and a much better public attitude.
Woops! The New Pot Species Story Is A Hoax.
Kind reader, I have what I like to call a finely tuned bullshit detector, but this one slipped right past it. Last week, we reported that scientists discovered a new type of cannabis in Australia. Sadly, even I got duped by this one. It’s a total hoax. I guess it goes to show that you can’t always believe everything you read on the Internet.
Sad to report for all of our pot-loving friends out there, there won’t be an exotic new type of cannabis headed for your bong any time soon. Of course, with the species of cannabis that we know for sure exist, the opportunity to find new medicinal and utilitarian uses for the plant is still very much present, and we look forward to reporting actual advances as they happen, not hoaxes.

Composting 101: How And Why To Start Your Very Own Compost Heap
Did you know that the United States produced 250 million tons of trash in 2010? That’s a lot of garbage! Most of that trash is either recyclable, which is an important thing to do, or can be thrown into a compost heap. Composting enables you to divert a ton of trash from the landfill and creates good, usable soil for your garden at home.
Pretty great, right?
It can certainly be hard for some people to find a way to compost. I mean, where do you put a compost heap if you’re in an apartment building? Hey, necessity is the mother of invention, right? Maybe talk to your property management about starting a building-wide composting program, or finding local farmers who will gladly take your trash.

What Really is Self-Realisation?…and How Can it Help You Drink the Juice of Life?
By Open
Contributing Writer for Wake Up World
We read about ‘self-realisation’ in spiritual circles, but what really does that mean? We may gain an intellectual understanding, but to me, there’s much more to the term itself and what it can encourage us to do; how to live. I observe in the work we do, that when a person finds the right alignment in life, which incorporates self-realisation, then our perspective on life changes immeasurably for the better. It can be said, that in actual fact, there is nothing else but self-realisation going on. It’s just a question of whether we’re actively engaged in it, in which case we become the masters of it; or else we’re ignorant of it, and thus become victims. So what really is self-realisation, and how can we benefit from it?…

Recognizing Enslavement
Guest Writer for Wake Up World
“The best slave is the man who believes he is free.” ~ Goethe.
Even though evidence of global human enslavement is abundant and striking, people who have been raised in its clutches while being told repetitively they are free are generally unable to appreciate their situation.
“If a lie is repeated often enough, people will come to believe it.” ~ Goebbels.
When truth is presented in literature, movies or conversation, we are told it is imagination or science fiction. The current atmosphere of potential ‘terror’ and increased police and military violence gel the quagmire of social thought and make escape even less visible. Thus we founder on.
