The concept of innate knowledge is not novel to the Nene. It seems to be much more common amongst avian species but it isn't simply something associated with our feathered friends. At Slimbridge, some nene goslings are incubated, hatched, brooded and reared by their parent geese. Like the one in this photo, is spends its waking hours scouring the surroundings, grazing and browsing on local flora. It seems to know exactly which plants to choose and which to avoid. The obvious thought would be that mom and dad have taught it just what to pick and what to leave behind.
On the other hand Slimbrige staff also incubate, hatch, brood and raise a number of nene goslings separately. It's necessary in order to maintain populations on the refuge, as many naturally reared goslings are lost to local predators. Aside from the daily practice of yoga, which this gosling seems to be engaged in, these goslings demonstrate the same selectivity when grazing and browsing as their naturally reared brothers and sisters. This would suggest some form of innate knowledge since these goslings have no contact with parent geese, until they have paired up and are released back into the wild. The opportunity for further research boggles my mind. There is just so much that we don't understand. #NeneGoslings #Slimbridge

When driving to the union town of Barcaldine, home of the Australian Workers Heritage Centre, from the squatters’ town of Longreach (Stockman’s Hall of Fame, Qantas Founders Museum), a tiny black square starts to nudge across the vanishing point of Route 66. Closer, the pixel grows to a cube, a curious Ka’bah-like form crossing the highway. Closer again, a hollowness becomes apparent, the dark mass held above the horizon on eight legs, a burnt-black elevation allowing a few vertical slivers of animating light to appear and disappear in a veiling moiré effect. At eighteen-metres-cubed, the massive monument is wrapped by screens of charred timbers enclosing an array of sixty by sixty vertical timbers, recycled hardwood five-by-fives, suspended in a hanging grid. Orthogonal view lines open avenues to the horizon, with diagonals aligning to a secret second geometry. As in infinitely reflecting mirror cabinets, whether we look up, left or right, we find ourselves pinned at the intersection of insistently receding axes.
The ghost of the giant ghost gum is the central pole, the axis mundi. Its wrinkled, hollowed and patched trunk supports a few forlornly writhing final branches. It was a venerable old life form, near to the end of its days before the poisoning. The preserved remains have been returned to their exact origin. The timber cube shelters and venerates this sacred relic, but also aspires to invoke the living tree as it was in 1891. The architects have triangulated from historical photographs to plot the former branch spread as a negative spatial cast within the cube. Volumes of long-gone boughs are mapped in the billowing domical grids formed by 3,600 hanging timbers, each wooden tip chamfered obliquely into pentagonal leaf forms. The historic tree is rendered as a geometrically precise ghost, hollowed from the vast segmented mass of recycled timber, reanimated by passing breezes and enlivened by the slow movement of the sun.
At night, artificial lighting cranks up the metaphoric reading. The red-ochre pavement has inscribed bearings to the towns from which the strikers came. Uplights at each address illuminate the whitened end chamfers and solidify each canopy dome. The ancient root ball glows in an earth-red underground chamber, preserved for inspection below glass like an embalmed statesman in a mausoleum. Slightly-too-green top lighting through the hanging timbers brings a miraculously reborn tinge to the long-dead timbers, though it is only from down the street that the emerald lighting cloud coheres as a faint but persuasive outline of the phantom tree-in-a-box.

History:
Baron Von Ogel had one major nemesis during his first attempt at world domination. That nemesis was the secret task force known as Alpha Team. One operative, code named Radia, was a skilled laser expert and computer tech. During the course of their missions, she had been a prisoner of the Baron. He was able to extract her DNA and later produce a clone of Radia, calling her X-Radia. This clone would undergo many modifications including advanced combat training and cybernetic upgrades. She has enhanced strength and agility as well as combat skills with various laser powered weapons. Her vision and hearing have been upgraded to allow her to have radar, sonar, x-ray, microscopic, telescopic, and infravision. X-Radia can also detect energy signatures as well as tell if someone is telling the truth or not. The Baron does not treat her like a daughter, but as another soldier. He has however equipped her with his armor he wore years ago. This appears to be the only showing of affection he has displayed toward her. X-Radia is a fearsome fighter speaks with her actions rather than words. Lazer Hawk has theorized that X-Radia could be suffering from mental conflict due to being both a clone and a cyborg. This could prove to be an interesting development should an opportunity arise. Alpha Team had limited victory over the Baron, as he would be unsuccessful in his plans, but not ultimately vanquished. The team was disbanded and knowledge of their existence disavowed after Von Ogel disappeared. Their whereabouts are unknown as well as if any members even survive today. X-Radia is a reminder of what once was and the Baron plans to use her as mockery of those attempting to defy him.

" "What would Buddha do to search for perfect knowledge ?"
"Your mind becomes Buddha.
Your mind is Buddha.
All the Buddhas' ocean of perfect knowledge begins in your very mind and thought."
(Amitayur Dhyana Sutra 17)
Buddha doesn't have to do anything to gain perfect knowledge.
He knows he has it already.
He knows we have it already.
But someone we seem to be left out of the loop.
How ironic that we don't know we have perfect knowledge !
What went wrong ?"
(From "What would Buddha do ?" by Franz Metcalf)
Those two Tibetan monks were under the Bodhi Tree which is behind the Mahabodhi Temple, the place of Gautama Buddha's attainment of nirvana (Enlightenment), in Bodh Gaya (बोधगया), in the Indian state of Bihar.

I had this idea in my head of sort of like a spiritual or mythological library full of knowledge that can be both helpful and at the same time destructive to the human world. At that library is a guardian who guards the entrance of this so-called spiritual library and only those whose purpose is to seek knowledge and not use it for personal gain are only allowed in. The concept was to have me reading and gaining access into the spiritual library itself.
The idea was based upon the Royal Library of Alexandria, which was one of the largest and most significant libraries of the ancient world. The Library was in charge of collecting all the world's knowledge. Other than collecting works from the past, the library served as home to a host of international scholars. The library is famous for having been burned resulting in the loss of many scrolls and books, and has become a symbol of the destruction of cultural knowledge. A few sources differ on who is responsible for the destruction and when it occurred. Although there is a mythology of the burning of the Library at Alexandria, the library may have suffered several fires or acts of destruction over many years.-wiki www.facebook.com/kaiyanp

This carries the slightly obscure destination of Marne Barracks. This refers to the former RAF Catterick, and shows the vehicle would travel via Richmond and Catterick Garrison to eventually terminate in Catterick Village.

He who does not doubt, does not learn.
by Dutch poet Coornhert.
And learning gives knowledge.
For “Knowledge is Golden” the inspiration was specific to the area which the mural was done. San Francisco is seeing its second gold rush with information and knowledge being the currency of today. SOMA, being slated to be developed as the new downtown of San Francisco with technology leading the transformation, is why we chose this location for our message.
Gold miners have been replaced by tech innovators. Pickaxes and shovels have been replaced with laptops and desktops. Though the times have changed, the human thirst for chasing opportunity remains prevalent in these times. And with this influx of new people, San Francisco culture as we know it will never be the same.
