Today is Earth Day - Make it Everyday. Many of these stories or this post in general might not leave you feeling very optimistic towards an end to 'pollution' and many issues it creates. With that said, stories about what is being done can therefor if anyone knows of such a story please share them. This post and the articles it point towards are about what is not being done and what is needed to change.
Yes, we are creating money and an easy life out of our environment however money needs to go back if there's to be hope. To indulge in a euphemism "the RENT is due." At present are plenty of people pointing at pollution but far too little has actually been and being done. Every little thing we can do will certainly help but simply pointing at or playing the 'blame game' is NOT eliminating our problems and the scientists looking have been telling this same story for decades. Our thinking need to change, a quantum change, a revolution in thinking that would impact in large meaningful way. To this end each and everyone one of us on this small Blue Marble called Home are indeed needed!

Calamity Calling: Calamity is Already Upon Us: Listen carefully to what the world's climate experts are saying. "For multitudes around the world today, calamity has already arrived. Drastic climate changes have sparked economic dislocation, political discord, and even death. And it's happening right now, in nearly every corner of the planet"

Silent Spring
"[Rachel Carson] appearing on a CBS documentary about Silent Spring [Wiki] shortly before
her death from breast cancer in 1964, she remarked, 'Man's attitude
toward nature is today critically important simply because we have now
acquired a fateful power to alter and destroy nature. But man is a part
of nature, and his war against nature is inevitably a war against
himself? [We are] challenged as mankind has never been challenged before
to prove our maturity and our mastery, not of nature, but of ourselves.' Rachel Carson the author of Silent Springwhich in 1962 exposed the hazards of the pesticide DDT." The Legacy Of "Silent Spring" ~ CBS News.

PRESS: Canadian Doctor’s Perfect Response to Employers Who Require Doctor’s Notes for Sick Days QUOTE: "Some companies in Canada require their employees to get a note from their doctor when they take time off work for health reasons. This is obviously extremely annoying to those who have to go to the doctor instead of simply recuperating at home, but, as it turns out, it really bugs doctors, too. And at least one has decided to do a little something about it." .: continued :.

This is a sneak peak at a new audio course series Published on Aug 10, 2014 ~ 33min Subscribe to the Filmmaker IQ Youtube channel FilmmakerIQ.com
and RØDE Microphones are proud to give you a sneak peak at the first
lesson in our six part course which will cover science/microphones,
recording, editing, foley, and ADR. We are also hard at work behind the
scenes updating the site to include even more interaction which should
be live in the coming weeks. Until then - enjoy this lesson on the
history of sound at the movies.
The inclusion of sound at the
movies was one of the most dramatic changes in all of film history. Dive
into the early experiments of Edison trying to incorporate sound from
film's inception, through the experiments in the early 1920s, the Jazz
Singer and the industry sound overhaul, and finally the multi-channel
surround and modern movie sound technologies.
The Visual Microphone: Passive Recovery of Sound from Video by: Abe Davis, Michael Rubinstein, Neal Wadhwa, Gautham J. Mysore, Fredo Durand, Wialliam T. Freeman Published on Aug 4, 2014 Abstract: "When sound hits an object, it causes small vibrations of the object’s surface. We show how, using only high-speed video of the object, we can extract those minute vibrations and partially recover the sound that produced them, allowing us to turn everyday objects — a glass of water, a potted plant, a box of tissues, or a bag of chips — into visual microphones. We recover sounds from highspeed footage of a variety of objects with different properties, and use both real and simulated data to examine some of the factors that affect our ability to visually recover sound. We evaluate the quality of recovered sounds using intelligibility and SNR metrics and provide input and recovered audio samples for direct comparison. We also explore how to leverage the rolling shutter in regular consumer cameras to recover audio from standard frame-rate videos, and use the spatial resolution of our method to visualize how sound-related vibrations vary over an object’s surface, which we can use to recover the vibration modes of an object ~ Project Webpage"
