Thursdays InspirationPeak Ultimately, we have just one moral duty: to reclaim large areas of peace in ourselves, more and more peace, and to reflect it towards others. And the more peace there is in us, the more peace there will be in our troubled world.

Ook heeft de conferentie muziekzender MTV in het leven geroepen om de jeugd te verleiden tot ongeremde consumptie en hedonisme, zegt hij. De Bilderbergconferentie werd in 1954 voor het eerst georganiseerd, mede door prins Bernhard. Wereldleiders bespreken er de meest uiteenlopende zaken.

 Caral: the oldest town in the New World Sometime before 3200 BC, if not 3500 BC, something happened in the Norte Chico in Peru, an agronomical no-go area, where hardly anything grows. This, however, is the site where the oldest traces of a genuine civilisation – pyramids included – were found in America. Here, at least 25 large ceremonial/residential sites have so far been found, of which Caral has become the most famous. The North Chico, roughly 100 km north of the Peruvian capital Lima, consists of four narrow river valleys, from south to north, the Huaura, Supe, Pativilca, and Fortaleza. The ancient pyramids of Caral predate the Inca civilisation by 4000 years, but were flourishing a century before the pyramids of Gizeh. No surprise therefore that they have been identified as the most important archaeological discovery since the discovery of Machu Picchu in 1911. Posted: 1:47:38 AM

D'oh... Md. center studies ship's remains found at World Trade Center site It's not clear how the ship got buried beneath the twin towers, which were destroyed in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. It could have been used as fill when the Manhattan shoreline was expanded into the Hudson River about 1800, curators say. Sections of San Francisco are built on fill partly made of old ships, said Betty Seifert, a curator at the laboratory. Or the vessel might have sunk at its wharf and been forgotten. Just so you don't forget 911 ... maybe Bin Laden (r.i.p.) burried it there ... Posted: 1:46:33 AM

Could be FUD: An environmental activist surveys coral reefs off Aceh Besar, Indonesia's Aceh province. Coral that survived the 2004 tsunami is now dying at one of the fastest rates ever recorded because of a dramatic rise in water temperatures off northwestern Indonesia, conservationists said. They warned that the damage and threat extends to other reefs across Asia, including Sri Lanka, Thailand and Malaysia. Between April and May, sea surface temperatures in the Andaman Sea rose to 34 degrees Celsius, which is about 4 degrees above the long-term average. Posted: 1:10:46 AM
