USA: RIVER CONSIDERED TO BE MOST POLLUTED WATERWAY IN US
English/Nat
It's considered an embarrassment to both the United States and Mexico.
Cutting the border between the two countries east of San Diego, the New River is considered the most polluted waterway in the United States.
Residents are blaming a range of local illnesses on the pollution.
It cuts the U.S.-Mexican border about 120 miles (192 kms) east of San Diego.
The New River, characterized by garbage and trash, has been a continuing embarrassment for both countries.
It's been a dumping ground for residents and factories nearby for years.
SOUNDBITE:
It's recognized as one of the most polluted rivers, if not the most polluted river, in the United States.
SUPER CAPTION: Tom Wolfe, Imperial County Environmental Manager
Tom Wolfe is the Environmental Health Director for California's Imperial County, which borders the New River.
He says the river has become a toxic soup of waste and garbage.
SOUNDBITE:
It's full of sewage and domestic sewage and, ah, the chemical effluents from a number of manufacturing plants from a city of almost 2.5 (m) million people.
SUPER CAPTION: Tom Wolfe
This is Mexicali, Mexico, which sits directly on the banks of the New River.
It's also capital of the Mexican state of Baja.
U.S. officials blame poor sewage treatment and lax Mexican environmental regulations for much of the pollution.
For residents across the border in the U.S. town of El Centro, they fear the river is silently harming their health.
SOUNDBITE:
Well, it's pretty scary, because we live right here in this town. So, I don't know how it's affecting us. It's a concern to me.
SUPER CAPTION: Nancy Roach, El Centro Resident
But experts say unsightly garbage is not the only problem of the New River.
Industrial discharges also produce unseen, microscopic dangers.
SOUNDBITE:
There are times when the pollution levels are such and the wind level is such that we see foam, which has most of the microorganisms which have disease, blown out of the river into areas here people live and they go to shop and that sort of thing.
SUPER CAPTION: Tom Wolfe, Imperial County Environmental Manager
For years, residents have blamed the river for a variety of illnesses from rashes to flu- like sickness.
But they know who should take care of the cleanup.
SOUNDBITE:
Mexico and the United States, both countries.
SUPER CAPTION: Jose Rodriguez, El Centro Resident
The U.S. and Mexico have agreed to undertake a new cleanup study.
But residents worry that nothing will be done, and it will be the same old story on the New River.

State Police Interrupt a Gold Mining Operation in Oregon!
Our mining claim neighbors called the Cops! People living on the other side of the river where our mining claim is and not liking our mining, called the cops. It appears our neighbors just did not want their liberal utopia disturbed so they call the cops to harass us. The police were very cool as I knew one of them from checking our permits on another river couple months earlier and an Oregon DEQ meeting he showed up at. The rude lady yells to at from other side of river you need a permit to do that...we had them of course. She also told cops we were disrespecful and rude to her...which was totally false. She made up her own narrative about what was happening to justify her being annoyed. Liberal tactic # 3, change the narrative or just plain lie!
This is the short version of the video, filmed on the Applegate River in Oregon while we were LEGALLY GOLD MINING!
In the video, it is a continuous video, shot on my GoPro camera that I was wearing on my head. The video shows me mining and moving around with no editing to show what actually goes on while mining. Then my buddy is helping me move rocks while I'm using a sub-surface dredge...then the cops show up , and I tell him is where the action starts.
UPDATE Jan 1st, 2015: In response to some of the comments saying we are uneducated, rednecks and other stuff...the guys in the video are as follows. One is a millionaire CPA, another a self employed business owner, two others are also self employed and owns a body shop and the other an internet marketer and freelance videographer, and lastly one is the son of the CPA guy and currently in college.
Oregon Mining Law:
Next time this happens, I will ask the State Police to cite the offending people who disrupt our mining operation based on this Oregon Mining Law:
ORS 517.133 Interfering with a mining operation. (1) As used in this section, lawful mining operation means any small scale mining operation that is in full compliance with state and federal laws.
(2) A person commits the crime of interfering with a mining operation if the person intentionally:
(a) Interferes with a lawful mining operation; or
(b) Stops, or causes to be stopped, a lawful mining operation.
(3) Interfering with a mining operation is a Class C misdemeanor. [1999 c.354 §6]

We Are Powerful
Artists from the great state of Michigan play a big part in Until Love Is Equal - kinship and creativity are why we continue the fight for what's right, over half a year since five Holland City Council members voted against protecting the city's LGBT residents and workers.
We continue trying to provide useful information to those five lawmakers who voted NO to anti-discrimination on June 15, 2011: the honorable Kurt Dykstra, Brian Burch, Mike Tretheway, Nancy DeBoer and Todd Whiteman. More information about the vote and what we're doing is available at
We start 2012 with an amazing gift from a half-dozen of Michigan's most beloved artists, who donated a performance of the unreleased song, We Are Powerful. Thank you Seth Bernard and May Erlewine, and the rest of The Starlight Six: Rachael Davis, Joshua Davis, Michael Shimmin and Dominic John.
What an amazing theme song for a long and difficult fight on behalf of a vulnerable minority in Holland, MI - much love and thanks to musicians.
Michigan artists - and specifically our great state's musicians - continue to play a vital role in our singular effort to help realize a good end by lawmakers in Holland. Several months ago, hip-hop artist and former Michigan resident The SEVENth contacted Until Love Is Equal about submitting a video PSA to show support from the hip-hop community. In late 2011, rap artists Yo Majesty! partnered with Until Love Is Equal for an event at the Division Avenue Arts Collective, in Downtown Grand Rapids.
Please share, and enjoy - and take strength in knowing that an ever-growing group of the most creative and dedicated people in the great state of Michigan are working tirelessly to help make Holland a safe and welcoming place for all.

Archaeological Discoveries Proving GIANTS exist
There have been other species of human on this earth, some smaller and some bigger, but what about a human 2, 3 or maybe even 4 times larger than the average person? Check out these discoveries of giant footprints and skeletons that may prove giants really do exist!
China’s Giant Footprint
In August of 2016, an amazing and unexplainable discovery was made in Guizhou, China. During a hike, photographers stumbled upon a series of marks in the ground that looked eerily similar to the prints made by a human walking barefoot. Nearly two feet long and indented nearly three centimeters into the ground, the massive prints likely belong to someone who is over thirteen feet tall, according to researchers’ estimates. Many dismiss the prints as a hoax, which is understandable except for the fact that this is not the first time such prints have been discovered. In 1912, a four foot long print was unearthed in South Africa that was dated to be over two hundred million years old, suggesting an ancient civilization of giants. This is backed up by countless tales from Norse, Indian, Mayan, Aztec, Incan, and Greek lore, as well as the Bible. Most amazingly, the 1912 discovery’s creator had to have been over twenty seven feet tall to leave such a print behind, making the mere thirteen feet of the Chinese discovery seem much more feasible by comparison.
Phillips Excavation
A news article from 1912 details the excavation of a burial mound completed by the Phillips brothers at Lake Declan in Wisconsin. According to the New York Times, on May 4, eighteen giant skeletons that were carefully buried in charcoal and baked clay were uncovered from a presumed burial mound. The bones were said to be, “monkey-like” in many ways, such as straight sloping eye sockets and a nasal placement higher than that of a human, but were obviously human bones. Many other alleged “giant” bones have been found in Wisconsin, with the New York Times also reporting skeletons found by a Smithsonian researcher in 1881 and one nine foot skeleton found in Maple Creek years later in 1897. Certainly such repeated results are at least some cause for interest and concern.
Ecuadorian Giant Remains
In 1964, several Ecuadorian locals called upon Father Carlos Vaca, a priest who worked with the local hospitals, after uncovering several strange bones in a mountainous area. After inspecting them, he determined they were likely human despite being incredibly large. The bones were taken to Austrian artifact researcher Klaus Dona, who allowed several experts to view the bones. They all came to the same conclusion: they likely belonged to a human who, based upon estimates, would have been over 25 feet tall. No DNA could be pulled from the bones during examination, leading the researchers to believe them to be over ten thousand years old, at the least. Dona also claims that the area where the bones were found has been called, “the cemetery of the giants” by those local to the area, though this has not been proven to be true.
Found At Varna
This particular discovery actually took place much more recently in Varna, Bulgaria. You see, Varna used to be the ancient Greek city of Odessos, which is known having a lot of mythology that talks about and has images of giants. So it came as almost no surprise in January of 2015 that an incredibly large human skeleton was discovered. The skeleton appeared to placed very delicately with its hands on its waist and it’s head facing specifically to the East. The only issue with this discovery is that no height has actually been publicly confirmed, giving suspicion to its legitamacy. Some people have speculated that the man may have simply been of above average height and was considered a spectacle when they were alive in Ancient Greece, but others believe this was a real giant that was spoken of as mythology.
Lovelock Cave
In 1911, two Nevada miners named David Hart and James Pugh took interest in the large deposits of bat feces, also known as guano, which they planned to sell for use in making gunpowder. During their digging, the two men uncovered some incredible archaeological finds and called upon Alfred Kroeber, the founder of the Anthropology Department at the University of California. Several normal sized mummies were uncovered, as well as a few who were, amazingly, over eight to ten feet tall. Some sandals were also found that measured in at around thirty eight centimeters long, along with many giant sized handprints embedded into the cave walls. Interestingly, the local Paiute Native American tribe spoke in lore of red haired, white skinned giants called Si-Te-Cha living in the Lovelock cave system where the mummies were discovered.

SUMMARY
=======
The Ohio River, which streams westward from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to Cairo, Illinois, is the largest tributary, by volume, of the Mississippi River in the United States. At the confluence, the Ohio is considerably bigger than the Mississippi (Ohio at Cairo: 281,500 cu ft/s (7,960 m3/s); Mississippi at Thebes: 208,200 cu ft/s (5,897 m3/s)) and, thus, is hydrologically the main stream of the whole river system.
The 981-mile (1,579 km) river flows through or along the border of six states, and its drainage basin includes parts of 15 states. Through its largest tributary, the Tennessee River, the basin includes many of the states of the southeastern U.S. It is the source of drinking water for three million people.The name Ohio comes from the Seneca, Ohi:yo', lit. Good River. The river had great significance in the history of the Native Americans, as numerous civilizations formed along its valley. For thousands of years, Native Americans used the river as a major transportation and trading route. Its waters connected communities. In the five centuries before European conquest, the Mississippian culture built numerous regional chiefdoms and major earthwork mounds in the Ohio Valley, such as Angel Mounds near Evansville, Indiana, as well as in the Mississippi Valley and the Southeast. The Osage, Omaha, Ponca and Kaw lived in the Ohio Valley, but under pressure from the Iroquois to the northeast, migrated west of the Mississippi River to Missouri, Arkansas and Oklahoma in the 17th century.
In 1669, René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle led a French expedition to the Ohio River, becoming the first Europeans to see it. After European-American settlement, the river served as a border between present-day Kentucky and Indian Territories. It was a primary transportation route for pioneers during the westward expansion of the early U.S. In his Notes on the State of Virginia published in 1781–82, Thomas Jefferson stated: The Ohio is the most beautiful river on earth. Its current gentle, waters clear, and bosom smooth and unbroken by rocks and rapids, a single instance only excepted.During the 19th century, the river was the southern boundary of the Northwest Territory. It is sometimes considered as the western extension of the Mason–Dixon Line that divided Pennsylvania from Maryland, and thus part of the border between free and slave territory, and between the Northern and Southern United States or Upper South. Where the river was narrow, it was the way to freedom for thousands of slaves escaping to the North, many helped by free blacks and whites of the Underground Railroad resistance movement.
The Ohio River is a climatic transition area, as its water runs along the periphery of the humid subtropical and humid continental climate areas. It is inhabited by fauna and flora of both climates. In winter, it regularly freezes over at Pittsburgh but rarely farther south toward Cincinnati and Louisville. At Paducah, Kentucky, in the south, near the Ohio's confluence with the Mississippi, it is ice-free year-round.
