Where are we now?
“The Da Nang cleanup, such a proposition might initially sound incredible. The German born Doctor living in Canada,  Wayne Dwernychuk, sees a more sinister motive behind America’s assistance. the past years have seen rising tensions between Vietnam and China — over the ownership of the Paracel and Spratly Islands, which many believe sit atop reserves of oil and natural gas.  In 1988, China killed more than 60 Vietnamese sailors in a skirmish in those waters, and this summer Beijing announced it would set up an army garrison on the islands. Against this backdrop, it seems likely the Vietnamese government would allow the U.S. to build a base in its country — a move in line with current American foreign policy which, as expounded by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in November 2011, will focus on “forging a broad-based military presence” in Asia.   While in public the U.S. has urged for a peaceful, diplomatic solution to the dispute, the deployment of Osprey aircraft to Okinawa, in October 2012, has got many residents worried that Washington will exacerbate regional disputes to justify its presence on Okinawa while furthering its own strategic goals.  Throughout their histories, the residents of Okinawa and Vietnam have repeatedly fallen victim to the clash of empires and ideologies. From the 19th-century occupation by the French and the Japanese occupation, respectively, to the devastation of 20th-century conflicts, both have suffered as proxies in the clash of greater powers.

Once more there may be troubling times ahead. Almost 70 years after World War II ended and the U.S. stepped onto the global stage as the dominant economic and military superpower, today its influence, like that of all past empires, is on the wane.

Moss can help maintain a consistent level of humidity in a room.”  Not only absorbs moisture but emits it, too. “When the humidity falls below about 12 grams per cubic meter, moss will let out moisture,” and when the humidity goes above about 17 grams per cubic meter, moss will absorb moisture.”  influenza is most likely to spread when the humidity drops below 10 grams per cubic meter, so moss actually acts to stop that,” In addition, moss acts as an air purifier. Instead of absorbing water and nutrients from the ground through a system of roots, moss sucks them in from the air around it,  it actually collects unwanted particles from the air and stores them inside itself,”  “If you install a bed of moss in a smoking room, for example, it will actually absorb the smoke,”  if you have a bed of healthy moss in your room, you will continue to enjoy a comfortable relative humidity of between 40 percent and 60 percent.   So how do you go about “installing” moss?

 The tricky part is establishing a ground for the moss that can be kept consistently moistened with fresh water.  the technique involves the use of dried sphagnum, which is a type of moss. Dried sphagnum is so absorbent that it is often used in flower arrangements in order to keep the stems of cut flowers hydrated.  Once the framework is in place, clumps of live moss can be tucked into the dried moss and made to grow, it is occasionally necessary to change the water and add new moss.  Color of moss varies (there are thought to be over 2,000 different varieties of moss in Japan)  Kotake and his Kokemori partners http://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2012/11/18/to-be-sorted/moss-art-growing-a-masterpiece/ are not the only ones singing the praises of moss. Bruce McCune, a professor of botany and plant pathology at Oregon State University, held a student workshop on the subject back in 2000. “Our goal is to enhance public awareness of the effects and benefits of mosses in our everyday environment,” McCune’s students proclaim on their website.  http://bryophytes.science.oregonstate.edu/mosses.htm
