SUPER: On November 19, 1863 Abraham Lincoln traveled to the now quiet battlefield of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, to dedicate a cemetery filled with the Union dead who had perished there the previous July, in the greatest battle ever fought on American soil.The President’s speech lasted just two minutes.He started off reminding his audience that it had been only 87 years since the founding of the Republic and then went on to embolden the Union cause with some of the most stirring words ever spoken.He hoped that the terrible battle might signal a “new birth of freedom” for his nation.

Our Vision | Unifying Truth Project. We envision a world united by the truth of life everyone can see and check for themselves. This world will no longer be divided and run by belief, blind faith, greed and ignorance. We envision a world where all people work and live in harmony with one another and with nature to efficiently and effectively address and resolve the threats to the survival of the human race.
We must see to it that every single person has the basic necessities of living available, but this is impossible until we become aware of the truth. Ignorance of the truth is what keeps the human race from progressing and thriving as a global community, from living in a worldwide "utopian society" on planet Earth. This unified "heaven on earth" starts with finding, defining and spreading a unifying, universal truth that will unite the human race by dissolving the mental walls that divide and blind mankind.
We will systematically expose the root problem of division in all aspects of society. The Truth Contest | Universal Truth Of Life. Mozilla Drumbeat | School of Webcraft.

The Hypothetical Development Organization, founded in 2010, is dedicated to the recognition and extension of a new form of urban storytelling.
Members of this organization begin the narrative process by examining city neighborhoods and commercial districts for compelling structures that appear to have fallen into disuse —“hidden gems” of the built environment. In varying states of repair, these buildings suggest only stories about the past, not the future. As a public service, H.D.O. invents a hypothetical future for each selected structure. Unlike a traditional, reality-based developer, however, our organization is not bound by rules relating to commercial potential, practical materials, or physics. In our view, plausibility is a creative dead end. That is to say: We are not trying to fool anybody. H.D.O. creates convincing renderings of these imagined future uses. Also, we’ll show the works in a gallery, for the benefit of interested parties with busy schedules. LIFT: Combating Poverty and Expanding Opportunity | LIFT. Delivers Pilot-Scale Validation | Genomatica.
For Immediate Release Genomatica Delivers Pilot-Scale Validation in Sustainable Chemical Manufacturing Technology platform drives readiness for commercial scale-up in only 2 ½ years SAN DIEGO, June 29, 2010 – Genomatica announced today that it has achieved two key commercialization milestones ahead of schedule. First, the company achieved pilot-scale validation, at 3,000 liters, of the manufacturability and commercial viability of a ‘green’ version of 1,4-butanediol (BDO), its first commercial product. Pilot Validation for BDO Drives Readiness for Commercial Scale-up and Production Genomatica’s first planned commercial product is a ‘green’ BDO, made from renewable feedstocks rather than crude oil or natural gas.
Genomatica has completed multiple 3,000 liter batches of BDO using a variety of readily available commercial-grade sugars as feedstock. The scale-up to 3,000 liters, a 100-fold increase from lab scale, was completed in two months. Unique Development Platform Slashes Time to Market.

Genomatica Turns Sugar And Trash Into Wearable Items. Audio Aired 3/10/11 A local biotech firm is working with a major trash company to turn landfill waste into green chemicals used to make everyday items.
