Calling Jamaica from the U.S. is as simple as calling someone else in the U.S. With the wide variety of calling plans and other methods available today, a little research can find you even cheaper ways to stay in touch with friends, family, and professional contacts.
Method 1 of 3:
Dialing Jamaica from Either a Landline or Cellphone
1Place your call. Since Jamaica belongs to the North American Numbering Plan (NARP), no international codes are need. Simply dial the Jamaican phone number as you would with any U.S. number outside your area code. Depending on your carrier, dial "1" first if needed. Then enter 876, which is Jamaica's area code. After that, enter the seven-digit phone of the person or company that you're trying to call.[1]
2Be sure to dial out if necessary. If you are calling from a landline in an office, dorm room, or another internal phone network, dial out before entering the Jamaica phone number. Avoid calling another extension on your network by mistake. Dial "9," "#," or whichever digit or symbol opens your phone line to an outside call.
3Check the time. If you are calling from a different time zone than Jamaica's and are supposed to place your call at specific time there, be sure to check the difference in hours before placing the call. Be aware that, unlike the U.S., Jamaica does not observe Daylight Savings Time. This means that Jamaica is always five hours behind Greenwich Mean Time.[2] In U.S. terms, this means they use Eastern Standard Time all year long, without ever "springing ahead" to Eastern Daylight Time for the summer.[3]Advertisement
Method 2 of 3:
Using Skype to Call Landlines and Cellphones
1Log on to Skype. Access your account on your computer or other devices. When prompted, enter your username, email, or phone number tied to that account. Then type in your password in the marked field. After that, click "Sign In."
2Decide between credit and subscriptions. If you are making a one-time call to Jamaica, or only plan to call there rarely, estimate how many minutes you will need to complete your call. Check Skype's current rate-per-minute and then purchase credit to cover that amount.[4] However, if you anticipate calling Jamaica frequently, compare Skype's rate for a monthly long-distance subscription versus the total cost of purchasing credit for each individual call you plan to make in that same period. If the monthly subscription is cheaper, go with that.
- Or, if both you and the other party have Skype accounts, have a video chat with them on your computers, at no additional cost, instead of calling their phone.[5]
3Purchase credit. If you won't be calling Jamaica often enough to warrant a subscription, either click the "Buy Credit" button or, if you have already purchased credit in the past, the "Add Skype Credit" button. When prompted, choose the dollar-amount that will cover the duration of your call. After that, provide Skype with your billing country (in this case, the United States), as well as your payment method. Once you have finished, press the "Pay Now" button and follow any additional prompts to complete payment.[6]
- Note that if you have made any previous purchases through Skype, your previous payment method has been saved. Be sure to change it if you wish to use a new method.
4Buy a subscription. If you plan on calling Jamaica frequently enough to justify a flat-rate subscription, visit Skype's subscription page. Select Jamaica as the country you wish to call and then click the "Continue" button. When the webpage offers you billing options, decide whether you wish to be billed monthly, quarterly, or yearly and select the appropriate option. Enter your payment method and follow the prompts to complete your purchase.[7]
- If you have purchased Skype credit in the past, you can apply any remaining credit to pay for a subscription.
5Place your call. Go back to your homepage on Skype. Click on the "Call Phones" button. When the dial-pad appears onscreen, select "Jamaica" from the drop-down menu of countries that appears above the pad. Then enter "1," followed by the Jamaican area code "876," and then the seven-digit phone number you wish to call. After that, click the blue call-button icon to dial.[8]Advertisement
Method 3 of 3:
Saving Money
1Use landlines. Although your cellphone can make and receive calls to and from Jamaica, call from a landline if you have one. If the recipient also has a landline, be sure to dial that number if possible, rather than their cellphone's, in order to save them money. Ask them to do the same if you expect them to call you back in the future. Avoid having both parties being billed for one phone call, regardless of who called who, which may happen if the call is made to or from a cellphone.[9]
- Also, calling cellphones via your Skype account may cost more per minute than calling a landline.[10]
2Hang up if no one answers. Although the Jamaican phone number is formatted just like a U.S. number, it is technically an international number and will be billed as such.[11] If no one is answering and you know how many times the recipient's voicemail will allow the phone to ring before picking up, hang up before the call "connects," since a connection will result in a charge. If cost is no object, go ahead and leave a message.
3Consider a flat-rate plan.[12] If you expect to make calls to Jamaica regularly, compare your current international plan with others to see if a flat-rate calling plan would be cheaper. Find your most recent phone bill covering your average amount of calls to Jamaica. Add up the charges for those calls. Compare the total to the monthly rate for a flat-rate plan with unlimited international minutes. If the flat-rate plan is cheaper, switch to that.
- Be sure to factor in any extra charges for set-up and cancellation, as well as any others, to make sure that switching will really be worth it.
4Research calling cards. If you expect to make calls to Jamaica regularly, but not enough to warrant the extra money that a flat-rate plan will cost, compare various calling-card rates versus your own phone plan. Do plenty of comparative shopping first, though. Be aware that many cards have hidden fees and surcharges, which means your card's value may decrease significantly over time if you don't use it up in one phone call.[13]Advertisement

It's an unfortunate truth that sometimes great television shows get canceled too soon. Whether it's due to a decline in ratings, casting changes, bad storylines, or trouble behind the scenes, most fans of canceled shows have to accept the fact that their favorite series will never again see the light of day. But in the last few years, shows have had the opportunity to be revived, whether via a streaming service like Netflix or Hulu or – in some cases – through a movie, such as Firefly, which came back in the movie Serenity, or the Veronica Mars movie.
While there are far too many television shows that ended before their time, we've highlighted a few that we think deserve their own follow-ups on the big screen.
Here are 15 Canceled TV Shows That Deserve Their Own Movies!
15 Freaks and Geeks
Out of all of the cancellations of beloved television series, Freaks and Geeks is frequently mentioned as one of the most unjust. This show, starring a now-famous Jason Segel, Linda Cardellini, Seth Rogen, and James Franco, centers on a pair of siblings who attempt to navigate high school and their social lives.
Freaks and Geeks only aired for one season before it was unfortunately canceled. Heralded as a great high school comedy, the show navigated the difficulties of high school and growing up, as well as common shared experiences among those considered to be outcast. Since the series ended so long ago, it would be impossible to film a movie with actors recreating their iconic characters as they were when the show ended. However, perhaps a high school reunion film – as Seth Rogen pitched a few years ago – would be the best way to revive the series' characters in a believable and fresh way.
14 Enlisted
Enlisted only ran for 13 episodes on FOX before it was canceled. It focused on a platoon in Florida that was assigned to "rear detachment" – taking care of the base and the menial jobs on it. When Pete (Geoff Stults) returns from Afghanistan, he is assigned to rear detachment (or "rear D") and is tasked with making an actual platoon and team out of the eccentric enlisted soldiers. Among those are his two very different brothers: sarcastic Derrick (Chris Lowell) and eager, sensitive Randy (Parker Young).
Enlisted was praised by critics, but canceled because of its terrible ratings and FOX's decision to air the episodes out of order. The show was an ensemble comedy, focusing on the lives and relationships between those on rear D, but it was also beloved because of the way it strengthened the bond between the three brothers. Enlisted could easily be turned into a movie, as the possibilities for comedic shenanigans are endless, and the show's ability to deftly balance humor and heart won over viewers.
13 Jericho
One of the most common examples mentioned in terms of tragically canceled television series is the show Jericho. The show ran for two years on CBS, and is often brought up in duscussions of the most loyal TV followings ever, despite its low ratings. Although its cancellation was announced after one season, a fan campaign actually brought Jericho back for a second (after which the show was unfortunately axed for good).
This post-apocalyptic television series follows the residents of a small town called Jericho as they attempt to navigate life after nuclear attacks occur in various states within the US. Though the movie might not be able to pick up directly after the events of the series finale, it might help provide some semblance of closure for fans who were left with a cliffhanger to their favorite show. Because of its abrupt end and cult-like following, Jericho is definitely deserving of a follow-up movie.
12 Dead Like Me
When it debuted on Showtime, Dead Like Me was a dark, quirky dramedy about a young woman named George (Ellen Muth) who dies in an accident. Rather than move into the "great beyond," however, George is tasked with making sure that the souls of people who die are escorted into the afterlife. She serves as grim reaper throughout the series, and the show deals with George's experiences as well as how her family deals with her death.
Also starring the great Mandy Patinkin, the show – created and driven by Bryan Fuller – is totally deserving of a theatrical film follow-up (the show had one direct-to-DVD film in 2009) that might even revive the series for its fans. Dead Like Me was a unique television show with an intriguing premise and could definitely work as a film. If nothing else, its passionate fanbase – and those fans of Bryan Fuller – would flock to the theatres to see a wrap-up to their beloved show.
11 Selfie
Loosely based on the play Pygmalion, Selfie aired on ABC and told the story of Eliza Dooley (Karen Gillan), whose social media fame and real-life friendlessness leaves her seeking out help from a marketing image guru named Henry Higgs (John Cho). The romantic comedy focused on the burgeoning relationship between Henry and Eliza, as well as Eliza's development as she learned how to be less self-focused and more others-focused.
With the title and its time slot, Selfie crumbled after only a few episodes. However, given the show's premise, it would be fairly easy to turn the television series into a movie (especially given the fact that My Fair Lady, also based on Pygmalion, was a success). The chemistry between Henry and Eliza would lend itself to an hour and a half summer rom-com, and since there is a distinct lack of them in theatres these days, perhaps a Selfie film (or even a made-for-TV movie) would be welcome.
10 Party Down
Starring a pre-Parks and Recreation Adam Scott, along with a pre-Glee Jane Lynch, Ken Marino, Lizzy Caplan, and Martin Starr, Party Down followed the lives of caterers in Los Angeles who were desperately trying to start their careers or break into the business. This catering team worked events and each episode featured them working at a different event with colorful guests. Even though Party Down was beloved by critics, the ratings on Showtime led to its inevitable cancellation after a mere two seasons. And in spite of the fact that the cast of the series is, of course, much older than they were when the show was canceled, Party Down is deserving of at least a movie that could follow the exploits of the characters years in the future.
This reunion film, of sorts, would help to provide Party Down fans with a sense of closure regarding their favorite characters.
9 Almost Human
After only one season on FOX, the network canceled Almost Human – a sci-fi drama starring Karl Urban as John, a human detective whose partner, Dorian (Michael Ealy) is a robot. The show is set in the year 2048 where the prominence and development of technology has actually caused crime to rise.
Canceled due to its low ratings, Almost Human didn't fare well on FOX as a serialized television show. However, perhaps the reception to the show would be different if it was given its own follow-up movie instead. While the series fixated on mysteries and plot, the story could likely be better developed within a two-hour movie than on television. Almost Human held a lot of promise, especially in terms of the development of the partnership between humans and androids, and fans of it would probably be eager to see the show's storylines and characters wrapped up on the silver screen.
8 Red Band Society
When Red Band Society premiered on FOX, it starred a lot of lesser-known young actors who did an exceptional job of portraying teenagers who live together on a pediatric ward. The group – bound together because of their time spent in the hospital, but divided by the reasons they were there in the first place – became known as the "red band society" by self-appointed leader of the teenagers, Leo (Charlie Rowe) after the color of their medical wristbands. While the show focused on the lives of the teenagers and their drama, it also focused on the hospital staff including the doctors and nurses that cared for the teenagers.
Adapted from a Catalan series, Red Band Society was canceled after only ten episodes aired. But given the show's premise (young adult stories continue to be on the rise in film) and its stars (including Octavia Spencer, who played a prominent nurse in the series), Red Band Society could actually do well as a standalone movie and deserves to have a proper conclusion for its storylines.
7 Galavant
A musical, parodying, quick-witted comedy like Galavant was unfortunately destined for low ratings when it premiered on a major television network. Miraculously, however, ABC renewed the show for a second season. Sadly, after season 2, it was promptly canceled in spite of a small, but mighty, fanbase's petitions to revive the series.
The show's premise was relatively simple: a valiant hero named Galavant (Joshua Sasse) falls in love with a beautiful maiden (Mallory Jansen), who is taken away from him by an evil king (Timothy Omundson). After she's taken, Galavant sinks into a depression and is only brought out of it thanks to his squire, Sid (Luke Youngblood) and a feisty princess (Karen David) who needs Galavant's help to save her kingdom. Galavant was a hilarious, fun musical romp that deserves its own film that would likely have the same tone and feel as Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The series was fun, heartwarming, and filled to the brim with jokes that were smart and required you to pay attention. Recurring gags, as well as meta humor, made the show beloved among viewers and critics, and a movie would likely incite the same response.
6 Agent Carter
Unfortunately canceled after just two short seasons, ABC's Agent Carter focused on Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell), who worked to balance her life as a secret agent with her "normal" life in the 1940s. In spite of the fact that there was a short, 15-minute film created starring Hayley Atwell – a short that launched the television series – a feature-length Agent Carter film hasn't yet been developed.
Given the success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in recent years with the Captain America and Avengers films, a movie focusing on an endearing female heroine would not only be well-received but also welcome for a lot of people. The show deserves to have its stories expanded upon, and it is clear from the reception of the show that Hayley Atwell is a dynamic performer who could easily carry a film and a supporting cast. Whatever in-universe timelines have to be contended with in order to make a film possible, it's certain that fans of Agent Carter would not mind if it meant that Hayley Atwell could reprise her role as the heroine one more time.
5 Arrested Development
Perhaps one of the most meta television comedies of all time, Arrested Development is a true example of how fans and intelligent creators can turn low ratings into an ultimate success. The series debuted in 2003, and as the series grew, it did so to critical acclaim and a lot of fan love. Arrested Development quickly became a cult hit because of its smart meta humor, eccentric characters, and notable guest stars, but the ratings remained stubbornly low.
When the series was canceled in 2006, fans assumed that would be the end. But Netflix revived the show in 2013, with promise for more episodes and – allegedly – a film in the works. Few canceled comedies deserve their own movies more than Arrested Development. It is a show that's not just a television series, but has solidified itself as a part of pop culture with memorable characters like Buster Bluth (Tony Hale), Tobias Funke (David Cross), and more. Arrested Development definitely deserves its own film for the mark that it and its characters have had on pop culture.
4 Pushing Daisies
One of the most oft-referenced shows in terms of unjust cancellation, Pushing Daisies was a series by Bryan Fuller that debuted in 2007 and was canceled in 2009. The dramedy starred Lee Pace as Ned, a pie maker whose ability to bring people back from the dead just by touching them leads to him solving crimes. But that's not all that Ned does with his gift: he uses it to bring back the love of his life, Chuck (Anna Friel).
Ned, however, cannot ever touch anyone he revives a second time or else they die permanently. Pushing Daisies focuses on the relationship between Ned and Chuck, as the two can never physically touch, as they help a private investigator named Emerson Codd (Chi McBride) solve crimes. The series also starred Kristin Chenoweth as Olive, who has unrequited feelings for Ned throughout most of the series. Brilliantly directed and featuring quick-witted and quirky humor, Pushing Daisies gained attention and the interest of critics and audiences alike, leading to it gain cult-like status and winning it numerous awards. We're long overdue for a Pushing Daisies follow-up, and a movie would be the perfect chance to wrap up storylines and honor this iconic series.
3 Happy Endings
Happy Endings was a brilliant, intelligently-written comedy starring a talented cast that ran for three seasons on ABC. Unfortunately, despite numerous fan (and some critic) petitions to find another network for the series, Happy Endings has yet to be revived. If the show doesn't find a new home on another network, it definitely deserves a follow-up movie.
The appeal of Happy Endings to most was the ensemble-centric nature of the comedy, as well as the quirky, light-hearted humor. Each cast member – Damon Wayans Jr., Eliza Coupe, Elisha Cuthbert, Adam Pally, Zachary Knighton, and Casey Wilson – was hilarious in his or her own right and brought life to their unique characters. Happy Endings was a fun, bright series that focused on the relationship between friends, family, and the ups and downs of navigating romance and life in your 30s. And considering the fact that each actor is currently (fairly) free to shoot a film, perhaps a Happy Endings comedy could be in the future. It would certainly be deserved.
2 Community
Over the five years that it ran on television (and sixth that it ran on Yahoo! Screen), Community constantly fought cancellation. The low-rated NBC sitcom survived the axe season after season, even when its episode order was cut to 13 for the final few years. When the network decided to cancel the comedy after its fifth year, Yahoo's short-lived online streaming service brought it back to life. Community was always an ambitious comedy, but never more so than after its second season.
Focusing on the relationship between a study group at a community college, the series delivered impeccable homages, flashy episodes, and meta humor in spades. Whether the study group was being attacked by zombies in its Halloween episode, turned into stop-motion animated figures for Christmas, or embarking on its annual paintball game, Community's appeal was always in its humanity and portrayal of friendship. After Chevy Chase left the show and cast members Yvette Nicole Brown and Donald Glover departed, too, the series hit a bit of a snag. Still, the meta reference within the show of it receiving #sixseasonsandamovie means that Community will always be extremely deserving of its own film.
And given the Easter egg near the end of the fifth season, with Troy (Donald Glover)'s ship being overtaken by pirates, Annie (Alison Brie) and Abed's (Danny Pudi) departures, a reunion film in order to save Troy seems like it would be plausible. For more reasons than to just bring a hashtag to reality, Community deserves to have its own action-adventure comedy movie.
1 Psych
Perhaps one of the most self-referential comedies in recent years, Psych ran on USA for a solid eight seasons, with each season containing 14-16 episodes. In spite of the fact that the series was long-running and didn't suffer a first season cancellation like a lot of shows on this list, Psych is still deserving of a movie in order to reunite its cast and flash-forward in time to do so in order for one more great case or adventure.
The show, which was about a psychic detective named Shawn (James Roday) whose powers weren't actually real, and his best friend Gus (Dule Hill) was impeccably written and incredibly smart. Rounding out the cast was serious, driven Detective Lassiter (Timothy Omundson) and kind but strong Detective Juliet O'Hara (Maggie Lawson), along with police chief Karen Vick (Kirsten Nelson) and Shawn's curmudgeonly father, Henry (Corbin Bernsen). Psych was peppered with pop culture references, intelligent homages, and more meta humor and inside jokes than viewers could even keep track of. There are numerous comedies on television that have been canceled and are deserving of their own movies. Psych, with its chemistry between the cast and writing, is definitely among those. (Plus, imagine all the pineapples a two-hour movie could contain!)
What other canceled television series deserve their own movies?

Supreme Insult
"Presidents come and go, but the Supreme Court goes on forever." William Howard Taft
Is America a great country or what? Only in the Land of the Free and the Home of the Can-Be-Bought would a President choose a Supreme Court nominee based on a campaign pledge.
In the 2004 election George W. Bush promised Republican voters in Ohio and Michigan that as President he would give them a right wing conservative Supreme Court nominee. They voted for him -- gave him the election in fact. (And let's not forget the Supreme Court gave him the first election, a Supreme Irony.) So he kept his promise: John G. Roberts.
Oh sure, Roberts has credentials. Harvard this and Harvard that. Big deal, Bush went to Yale and look what we got from him. Roberts has some other, more interesting credentials: Reagan and Bush administration lawyer, National Mining Association, Toyota and Fox News lawyer. Hmm, there's a trend here.
MoveOn.org is all over Roberts, and with excellent arguments about his lack of suitability as a reasonable replacement for Justice O'Connor.
He opposed clean air rules and worked to help coal companies strip-mine mountaintops. He worked with Ken Starr (yes, that Ken Starr), and tried to keep Congress from defending the Voting Rights Act. He wrote that Roe v. Wade should be "overruled," and as a lawyer argued (and won) the case that stopped some doctors from even discussing abortion.
As a partisan lawyer for the Bush Sr. and Reagan administrations, Roberts threatened:
Civil rights by asking the Supreme Court to severely limit the ability of district courts to desegregate public schools, and working to ensure the Voting Rights Act could not be used to remedy many cases of actual discrimination against minority votes.
Women's rights by fighting for a law barring doctors from even discussing reproductive options in many cases, and arguing that Roe. vs. Wade should be "overruled."
Free speech by arguing to the Supreme Court that political speech that some considered offensive did not deserve First Amendment protections. The Court rejected his claim.
Religious liberty by arguing to the Supreme Court that public schools could force religious speech on students. Again, the Court rejected the argument.
As a corporate lawyer, Roberts threatened:
Community and environmental rights by working to strike down new clean-air rules and filing a brief for the National Mining Association, arguing that federal courts could not stop mountaintop-removal mining in West Virginia, even as it devastated local communities.
Workers' rights by helping Toyota to successfully evade the Americans with Disabilities Act and fire workers for disabilities they suffered over time because of the requirements of their jobs.
Public interest regulations by helping Fox News challenge FCC rules that prevented the creation of news media monopolies.
In his short two years as a judge, Roberts has threatened:
Individual rights by rejecting the civil rights claims brought on behalf of a 12-year-old girl who had been handcuffed, arrested and taken away by the police for eating a single french fry in the D.C. Metro.
Environmental protections when the dissent he wrote on an Endangered Species Act case, had it been in the majority, would have struck the Act down as unconstitutional in many cases, and would have threatened a wide swath of workplace, public safety and civil rights protections.
Human Rights by voting to strike down the Geneva Conventions as applied to prisoners that the Bush administration chose to exempt from international law.
And let's add another concern: Roberts has been a Judge for a mere two years. His experience as a lawyer is comprehensive, if arguably reprehensible. What kind of judicial knowledge does he bring to this most crucial of appointments?
Apparently the right kind -- the kind that's most important to the President and the radical right of his party: Roberts is a Corporate Conservative Right Wing Male. A member of the Club. Another White Guy.
That's where my blood pressure goes through the roof. Justice Sandra Day O'Connor toed the party line in giving him her approval, but said, "I am disappointed, in a sense, to see the percentage of women on our court drop by 50 percent."
Talk about understatement. So what's the composition of the Court now? One woman, one black man, one ... wait ... that's it. All the rest are WHITE GUYS.
Americans--all Americans--must depend on the United States Supreme Court to interpret and uphold the US Constitution, and to create the Laws of the Land for all of us. All of us. Women, African Americans, Hispanics, Gays, people of all colors, creeds, cultures, religions, beliefs. Our lives, our liberties, our futures, our children's futures have been too long in the hands of a bunch of White Guys with White Guy ideologies and attitudes. Their interpretations of the Law cannot possibly reflect or protect the needs and lifestyles and thoughts and expectations of all Americans, without reasonable representation among them of all Americans on the Court.
This isn't just about Roe V. Wade, people. It's not even about Conservatives Vs. Liberal ideologies. This is about civil liberties and human rights, personal and religious freedoms, public and environmental protections, community and individual prerogatives -- objective and responsible justice for ALL.
Yet with the kind of stunning mediocrity of vision we have come to loathe so well, George W. Bush, White Guy, has nominated yet another one-dimentional white Guy to the Bench.
Frankly, I hope both Laura and his mother Barbara slap him silly.

If you've been following the tutorial step-by-step, you've now created a couple of boards. The next question is of course: How to pin on Pinterest?
Pins can be image files like .JPG .PNG or (animated).GIF, but they can also be videos from YouTube or Vimeo, that will play within the Pinterest app. You can even pin presentations from Slideshare and Podcasts from Soundcloud.
There are a couple different ways to find pins to add to your boards. Here are your options:
1. Re-Pinning on Pinterest
The easiest way to get started with pinning on Pinterest is by going through the millions (!) pieces of content that are already available on the platform.
We'll go into the best ways to search for content in part 10 of this tutorial, but start by clicking on the Pinterest logo on the top left-hand side of your account, as that will bring you to your main feed where you can pin from right away.
For every pin you want to save, click on the red 'Pin it' button and add the pin to any (new) boards on your account. Once a pin is published on your board, other users can now also re-pin this image into one of their own boards. And that can keep going on, and on, and on…
2. Pinning with the Browser Button
We set up the Pinterest browser button in the first part of this series and now it's time to use it.
This couldn't be easier: surf to any of your favourite web pages on the internet, click on the round Pinterest button in the top right corner of your Chrome browser and you will see all images on that specific page that are available to pin. Choose one, hover over it with your mouse until you see the 'Pin it' button appear and click that.
Now you can change the pin description if you want and choose a board to pin the image to. That's all.
If you don't want or cannot use the Pinterest browser button, you can also enter the URL to a webpage directly.
For that to work, open one of your boards and click on the grey box with the '+' sign ('Add a Pin'). You can then choose for 'The Web' and enter a URL there. The process then is the same as using the browser button.
3. Pinning from a Pin it Button
Some websites even have their own 'Pin it' button installed on their pages, to encourage readers to share their content easily.
Get your own Pin it Button here or here or here or here.
When you click such a button, you immediately get the pop-up where you can choose in which of your boards to save this pin. Again, the process then is the same as using the browser button.
4. Uploading a Pin
Last, but not least, you can use any photo from your computer (or create an image with text overlay yourself) and upload it directly to Pinterest.
Like pinning from a specific URL, open one of your boards and click on the grey box with the '+' sign ('Add a Pin'). You can then choose for 'Your Device' and click on the red button saying 'Choose Photo'. Select any image from your computer and it will automatically start uploading. The process then is the same as using the browser button.
video tutorials
Pinterest offers great video tutorials about different topics. Here are two videos on the art of creating pins:
How to Pin on Pinterest?
This tutorial hopefully gave you plenty of tips on how to Pin on Pinterest. Ready for the next step?
I will go a bit more into the last example I gave and share tips on how to pin a photo on Pinterest that you've designed yourself with some easy online editing software.

Participants are advised to fly into Guatemala City by 1pm on July 21st and book return flights for later afternoon on July 28th, or the following day. I can provide hotel recommendations for stays in Antigua or near the airport before or after the retreat if you're interested in extending your stay.
One Magical Week Changes Everything
We will meet daily to meditate, write, talk, dance, laugh, cry, play and create.
We will get still. Really still. And in that stillness you will be able to hear the deepest truths within you. They are there, waiting for your courage to listen and honor them.
We will dance. Madly and with reckless abandon. We will move our bodies through the trauma, the grief, the pain and into exquisite joy and lightness of being. It will be nothing short of Divine.
We will play. We'll let go of looking good and doing it right to experience the childlike wonder of the world around us. It will be delightful and it will infuse you with the pure joy of being alive.
We will see each other and you will meet yourself in a whole new way. Your beauty, your strength, your sensuality and your courage. You will fall in love with the woman in the mirror.
Together we will explore, discover, release and celebrate. You will experience newfound freedom to move and be in the world. You will experience profound peace. You will touch the very center of your true nature which is unconditional love itself and it will change everything.
You will leave Guatemala with a new family of open-hearted and like-minded souls that have witnessed your journey and held space for your transformation. The connections you will make are priceless.
Villa Sumaya Eco-Wellness Lodge
Our week will include one free day and spaces of down time in which you can enjoy the beauty of Villa Sumaya and explore the surrounding area of Lake Atitlan. Tours and excursions are available for booking through Villa Sumaya but exploring by foot and at your leisure is also an option.
Our Sacred Space
We will meet daily in the beautiful Tara Temple which sits atop our private 6 room Lotus House. There we will enjoy majestic panoramic views of the surrounding volcanoes and the raw beauty of the lake below.
It's in this sacred space that we will meditate, write, explore, cry, release, laugh, dance and connect.
The Lotus House
We will have private access to the Lotus house with six gracefully appointed rooms each equipped with private baths and stone showers and offering stunning lake view balconies or glorious garden patios. Rooms are double occupancy and roommates will be assigned unless specific requests are made or you elect for a single room (add $400).
Exploring Lake Atitlan Area
Lake Atitlan is surrounded by three majestic volcanoes, is the deepest lake in all of Central America and is renowned for being the most beautiful lake in the world. It is one of Guatemala's national treasures. The lake is surrounded by many villages where the Maya culture is still prevalent and traditional dress is worn.
If you have the time and are interested in extending your stay in Guatemala beyond the completion of the retreat, I am happy to help you make arrangements for accommodation and travel.

FALLS CITY – Deputy Richardson County Attorney Samantha Scheitel has obtained arrest warrants for five people named in a 2017 undercover drug investigation by the Nebraska State Patrol.
Anna Debolt, 37, and Jeremiah Scheele, 38, both of Falls City, are named in a warrant alleging their involvement in a controlled buy of methamphetamine on Jan. 18.
Court documents say Debolt told a state patrol confidential informant to go the True Value parking lot on Stone Street with $130. Scheele reportedly left their Chase Street residence on bicycle, went to the parking lot and provided 1.75 grams of meth.
A confidential informant was also under surveillance on Aug. 11 for a meth buy at the Harlan Street residence of 22-year-old Scott Bachman and 21-year-old Taryn Rice.
Court records say the confidential informant also gave Rice $200 on Aug. 23 for 1/8 ounce of meth at the residence and was delivered another 1/8 ounce Sept. 27 at the Sun Mart grocery store parking lot.
An arrest affidavit says the confidential informant provided $200 to 28-year-old Jonathan Dawson of Falls City for a 1/8 ounce of meth on Sept. 27.
20-year-old Stephanie Bachman has also been charged with aiding and abetting a felony on Sept. 1.
Court records link Bachman to a burglary at North Fork Farm Service near Humboldt.

The purpose of this article is to clarify a few misconceptions about data and statistical science.
I will start with a controversial statement: data science barely uses statistical science and techniques. The truth is actually more nuanced, as explained below.
1. Data science heavily uses new statistical science
But the new statistical science in question is not regarded as statistics, by many statisticians. I don't know how to call it, "new statistical science" is a misnomer, because it is not all that novel. And it is regarded by statisticians as dirty data processing, not elegant statistics.
It contains topics such as
I have sometimes used the word rebel statistics to describe these methods.
While I consider these topics to be statistical science (I contributed to many of them myself, and my background is in computational statistics), most statisticians I talked to do not see it as statistical science. And calling this stuff statistics only creates confusion, especially for hiring managers.
Some people call it statistical learning. One of the precursors of this type of methods is Trevor Hastie who wrote one of the first data science books, called The Elements of Statistical Learning.
2. Data science uses a bit of old statistical science
Including the following topics, which curiously enough, are not found in standard statistical textbooks:
These techniques can be summarized in one page, and time permitting, I will write that page and call it "statistics cheat sheet for data scientists". Interestingly, from a typical 600-pages textbook on statistics, about 20 pages are relevant to data science, and these 20 pages can be compressed in 0.25 page. For instance, I believe that you can explain the concept of random variable and distribution (at least what you need to understand to practice data science) in about 4 lines, rather than 150 pages. The idea is to explain it in plain English with a few examples, and defining distribution as the expected (based on model) or limit of a frequency distribution (histogram).
Funny fact: some of these classic stats texbooks still feature tables of statistical distributions in an appendix. Who still use such tables for computations? Not a data scientist, for sure. Most programming languages offer libraries for these computations, and you can even code it yourself in a couple of lines of code. A book such as numerical recipes in C++ can prove useful, as it provides code for many statistical functions; see also our source code section on DSC, where I plan to add more modern implementations of statistical techniques, some even available as Excel formulas.
3. Data science uses some operations research statistical science
In particular, OLS (ordinary least squares) , Monte-Carlo techniques, mathematical optimization, the simplex algorithm, inventory and pricing management models.
These techniques are not considered statistical science, they are often referred to as analytics or decision science.
4. Data science does not use most old statistical science
Some of these techniques have been heavily criticized:
Examples of old statistical techniques that I have never used recently in my data science career:
Now don't get me wrong, there are still plenty of people doing naive Bayes, linear or logistic regression, and it works on many simple data sets, and you'll get a job if you know these techniques, more easily than if you don't know them, because progress is slow. But the future is in uniting these techniques under a single methodology, simple, robust, with easy-to-interpret results, available as black box to non-experts, and easy to automate. This project (I'm working on it, some computer science people at Cambridge University also work on this) is sometimes referred to as the automated statistician.
But just to give an example, naive Bayes (old stats, still widely used unfortunately) is terrible at detecting spam and categorizing email because it wrongly assumes that rules are independent, while a modern version called hidden decision trees (new stats) has been very successful (combined with pattern recognition) at identifying massive Botnets. Some modern techniques such as recommendation engines sometimes fail (unable to detect fake reviews) because they still rely on old, poor statistical techniques rather than modern data science. Though the fix to this issue is reworking the business model, rather than improving data science algorithms.
Finally, old statistics use a top-down approach, from model and theory to data, while new statistics or data science use a bottom-up approach, from data to model or algorithm.
Based on what many statisticians think statistical science is, and is not, I am tempted to say that modern data science barely uses statistical science. Instead, it mostly relies on statistical principles that are not considered statistical science by most people who call themselves statisticians, because of their rigid perception of what statistics is, and their inability to adapt to change.
To the contrary, for non statisticians (computer scientists, engineers and so on), it is clear that data science has a strong statistical component. In my heart, I also believe that new statistics is also a core component of data science. Yet when talking to hiring managers, I tell them that statistics is another animal, because in their mind, statistics is old statistics. And old statistics is barely used anymore in modern data science. Likewise, when talking to statisticians, I tell them that data science is not statistics, to not upset them or waste my time in fruitless argumentation.

I think we should stop & desist bashing statisticians as somehow we are superior than them. We should bear in mind that the term data-scientist was a recently invented term in the last 2 or 3 years which some may look at it as a fad.
I guess that the scientists at CERN who are doing data analytics don't regard or view themselves as data-scientists even though they pretty much breath data analytics from sunrise till sunset. They themselves still use some of the old statistics listed above. We can't dismiss them as non-data-scientists (even they hardly want to call themselves data scientists). One of my data science team member is a Physicist who did her intern at CERN last year (2013). She came with no knowledge of machine learning but now, she's pretty much well verse in machine learning because of her ability to absorb very fast.
Old statistics will still be around for a long time and based on what I see in the literature, they evolve into new variants which their performances improved over the old variants.
@Richard, thanks for clarifying the relevance of your post. If you reread mine, you'll see that I said that process mining "falls under the umbrella of data science." That means I agree that it's data science; I don't know why you think I was stating the opposite. The point behind my post was simply that process models cannot reliably be inferred from data alone. Judea Pearl ran into the same problem when trying to generalize Bayesian networks to causal nets. He realized he'd have to introduce a "data generating model" (i.e., theory) to make up for the underfitting. So researchers using directed acyclic graphs for causal modeling sketch out the model and then run data through it to see if the model is right. This is what process modelers do with conformance checking.
As for old versus new statistics, Granville lists Markov chains, Markov processes, and simulation as OLD statistics. I'm not aware of any techniques in process mining that use the methods of new statistics listed above.
And my reply to a comment on LinkedIn:
Peter, your last reply illustrates well how the two schools (new versus old statistics) are different. You wrote "finding the best combination of predictors is generally a NP problem". Data science does not care about the best combination, but about a few ones that are good enough and easy to interpret. And you can easily guess how much more predictive power you will gain by running your algorithms for billions of years, after having obtained something decent in a few hours or minutes. Usually, very little.
And regarding a proven track record for my techniques, I won't publish in scientific journals or talk at conferences. I have used my methods with success, and it's up to you to decide whether they are worth spending your time or not. And this is part of a new school of doing scientific research: self-funded (thanks to the success of my methods!), posting in highly visited blogs like here (150,000 members) or DSC. It gets published much faster, reaches far more professionals, and I received unbiased feedback from other members. In short, peer-review in real time, and public. And all the time that I saved by not publishing in traditional outlets or attending conferences, I use it to further grow the data science community and disseminate my intellectual property. I do spend time reading what other authors publish.
My next book (data science 2.0) will be self-published (so I retain copyrights and other benefits) and most likely priced very competitively (5 times cheaper than competition), and the digital version will be free. I will market it myself via my different communities, reaching out to far more people, and at no cost, than any traditional author or publisher can do.
By the way, that's data science that works, because growing these communities involves serious data science. AMSTAT (or anyone else for that matter) with its bunch of statisticians, can't compete with me (a one-man organization) in terms of growing, and they must be paying a lot of money in marketing, despite the fact that I publish many of my growth strategies. Indeed, they even hired a PR firm. Now we are talking about data science that works. Data science that works well enough to beat competitors and generate good revenue with high margins, involving computational marketing and various campaign optimizations techniques.
Regarding cross-validation, you should also make sure that the test cases have buckets of data not found in the control cases. For instance, data from a different type of clients or different industry. That's the only way you can check how your model will perform when faced with new, unusual data. Proper data bucketization is thus an important step prior to performing cross-validation. You also need to use a feature selection algorithm that is stable in the way it detects the best predictors. Finally, data science is good at fast development and fast execution of stable algorithms.
Another precision:
My hidden decision trees and Jackknife regression contain stuff similar to Lasso (constrained or ridge regression), boosted trees and random forests blended together. But it is not underlined by any statistical models, nor solved with complex mathematical optimization. Instead, it is data-driven with solution arising easily and naturally using a simple, fast algorithm. The data reduction step uses a criterion called predictive power, to find best combinations of predictors. Data bucketization and bucket sizing is an important part of the process, as well as extrapolations at the bucket level. All this stuff is available for free to everyone. It's open patent or open intellectual property.
@Mark Dr. Granville has consistently challenged us to define the boundaries of Data Science, and my comment about Process Mining was in this spirit. Disagree that Process Mining is not Data Science. It appears as a specialization of event sequence analysis, a discipline initiated by Carl Petri in 1939. Petri Nets have unique formalisms of liveness and the like. And, they have evolved into elaborate business process modeling techniques. The Process Mining paradigm of play-in (event sequence to Petri-like model) or play-out (Petri-like model to event seq) seems analogous to Markov Chains and Markov Processes. Is Process Mining another branch of new statistics, as defined above? I am certainly seeing practical applications in my work, as cited previously.
@Richard, Process Mining falls under the umbrella of data science, but not data mining. In fact, the course you link to explicitly calls process mining "data science in action" and then explains that it bridges the gap between traditional process modeling and data mining. I don't understand why you doubt his assertion. And I also don't understand what your question has to do with Dr. Granville's article. Can you explain?
Ralph, new statistics include a modern version of logistic regression, highly constrained, with very few parameters, making it easy to interpret, stable, and solved without using maximum likelihood estimation, indeed without statistical model. And it's blended with other classifiers. I also take results from scientific studies and research with a grain of salt. Is it replicable, works consistently for my own data, and is there a more robust methodology 10 times easier to implement, that yields the same results? These are the questions I ask myself before implementing a technique.
Apparently, IBM trusts 'old' logistic regression enough to incorporate it as the basis of Watson for ranking Jeopardy answers. Food for though when considering the stability of a 'new' vs. 'old' technique.
See: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/Statistics-old-friend-logistic-regr...
"Over the course of the project, we have experimented with logistic regression, support vector machines with linear and nonlinear kernels, boosting, single and multilayer neural nets, decision trees, and locally weighted learning; however, we have consistently found better performance using regularized logistic regression, which is the technique used in the final Watson system."
One of the things I'd like to accomplish is to democratize science. Traditional stats can be arcane to the non expert, and there's a bit of secrecy or mystery around the recipes used by statisticians. Old statistics seem to be for a small elite of people initiated to the secrets. Outsiders are not welcome (and I made myself an outsider though I was once an insider). Hopefully my new statistics (whatever you call it) are not mysterious, easy to understand and safe to use by professionals such as engineers, programmers, decision makers, business analysts, geographers, economists and many more.

Yesterday I played poker online with a pen pal gorgeous blonde girl who lives in Finland.
I try to learn Finnish language too, the problem is that my brain doesn't have more space to news words so I used google translator for don't do ridicule.
She proposed me to enter in a local Finnish poker place, where they recommend people some rooms to play poker online. It was a very cool place because of design and structure, but I had problems with Finnish language.
Finally and after a little discussion we have decided to play in Poker World House, which supports a lot of languages so we wouldn't have problems to understand each other, you know English is the universal language.
And what surprise, first participation and I won a lot of money.
I think to spend the won money for travelling to Finland and know in person my gorgeous Finnish blonde pen pal girl.

Michelle Keegan has shown exactly what it is that caught her fiance
Max George's eye by stripping down to reveal her tanned and toned bikini body during their Barbados break.
The couple are holidaying with the rest of Max's bandmates and their partners on the Caribbean island, as well as a host of other famous faces including Rihanna, Myleene Klass and Simon Cowell who are enjoying some post-Christmas sunshine too.
But despite the scorching heat, the Coronation Street babe has kept her enviable figure under wraps for most of her holiday, wearing an array of summer dresses to cover up.
But the heat clearly became too much for the 24-year-old to bear yesterday as she stripped down to her bikini to sunbathe with her pop star fiance Max aboard a boat on the beach.
Wearing a navy and white striped bikini top teamed with skimpy navy bottoms, Michelle's toned tummy was accentuated with a belly button ring and her flat stomach showed no signs it was Christmas only last week.
PICTURES: See more snaps of The Wanted in Barbados
Michelle seemed to be enjoying the sunshine more than Max, 23, who decided to sit in she shade for part of the day while she caught some rays.
The pair flew out to Barbados after Christmas ahead of the band's New Year's Eve gig at the plush Sandy Lane Hotel on the island where Rihanna also performed.
They've spent most of their days enjoying romantic walks along the beach, swimming in the crystal clear waters or catching up with their friends over cocktails.
Last week they were seen having fun on the waves as Michelle steered them around the island in a jet ski.
The pair announced their engagement in June last year after dating for seven months but have not yet set a date for the wedding.

DAVIE — The Miami Dolphins selected outside linebacker Jerome Baker of Ohio State in the third round of the 2018 NFL Draft.
Baker, 6-foot-1, 229 pounds, can play alongside former Buckeyes teammate Raekwon McMillan and veteran Kiko Alonso.
The Dolphins might also be able to use T.J. McDonald in a hybrid defensive back/linebacker role.
Baker has range and speed and can cover tight ends, a weakness Miami is trying to address in this draft. Baker has been compared to Jets and former Ohio State linebacker Darron Lee.
"Versatile, tough, fast, dynamic," Baker said of his strengths. "I'm the whole package."
Baker said he can play fast, run fast and has excellent football IQ. He also said he can be effective in coverage.
"We have added speed," Dolphins general manager Chris Grier said. "Getting faster on that side of the ball was a priority for us."
Grier said McMillan raved about Baker as a teammate.
The Dolphins draft safety Minkah Fitzpatrick in the first round and tight end Mike Gesecki in the second round.
Miami felt they needed to add players who could create mismatch problems, a key in today's NFL. Grier also noted that oversized linebackers are a bit of a dinosaur as well in today's game.
Miami's key need entering Friday night also included defensive tackle and quarterback. Grier acknowledged the importance of adding a tight end and a linebacker on Friday.
Among the players Miami passed on in the third round: Oregon offensive tackle Tyrell Crosby, Oklahoma offensive tackle Orlando Brown and Stanford defensive tackle Harrison Phillips.

A Good Muslim Christmas Story – Abdelkaderproject.org – 12/01/2015
This Christmas season America and the rest of the non-Muslim world is wrestling with the Big Question. Is the ISIS expression of the Islamic faith symptomatic, as some would like to believe, of a "violence gene" baked into their religion that should make us view all Muslims as ticking time bombs? Or, are followers of the Islamic tradition no different than those of all faiths and ideologies…populated by different kinds of believers who, depending on their circumstances and natural tendencies, can be peaceful or violent, forgiving or not, self-restrained or not?

Han's Coler: Free Energy Generators
Home | Rimac Automobili
You're falling back on excuses instead of providing any evidence. A starting battery, then bicycle generator, now PMH. Do you know if the system offered by Innovatehno was even magnetic?
bistander-have you read the British Intelligence report?Have you read the Rex Research bit on Coler?Have you read what Ive written?I mean actually read not skimmed.I said I believe the unit Innovate has is copy of the unit Coler built to power his house.I also dont think it was destroyed by a bomb as reported.This unit used a starting battery for an input.If what you want is a working unit with schematics and operators manual then what are we here for?I also said I think I know where a unit might be and Im working on tracking it down.36 locations now 35 takes awhile to narrow down.Im sorry I cant give you any instant gratification on this unit and I know many people on this and other sites are getting frustrated with all the failures and scams and disinformation.theres nothing I can do about that either.And you call this excuses?If all you want to do is read stuff here and go and build it then we arent there yet.If everyone would take a piece or 2 and continue on research then things get done faster but If I have to do it all then youll be waiting a long time.
We need someone to find the health report if its on government record in Croaitia.Denis said he has a health certification on it.
We need to know the answers to some of the questions i brought up which I dont have and hope some one here would know or has access to the information from some where.
We need to approach this from a different line of thinking like from the past because that obviuosly doesnt work.I mentioned some of what I saw from my limited remote viewing experiences and maybe someone knows some one more experienced to get more input.
Right now I am working on finding the prototype unit and digging up the rest of my emails to Denis.
I am going to try to build a small scale model with what I find around here and post what my results are as I get there but Im not going to do it all and just hand it over if thats what its going to come to.There are some good links that have just been added to this thread and we need to keep digging.Thats positive results so far when you can narrow things down.
Got this on PJ kelly's with nice pic's and schematics,have a look
Did you read the PDF?
Chapter 9: Passive Systems
The Devices of Hans Coler.
A German naval captain called Hans Coler invented a COP>1 generator in 1925. He called this device the
'Stromerzeuger' and for a few watts from a dry battery it provided 6 kW continuously. He was refused
development support because it was "a perpetual motion machine".

Yes, I read it
I read it. That's why I posted.
And the article you link to above is for some flying saucer drive.
I'm just trying to figure out the real topic of this thread. Does anybody know what device the OP wants to replicate?
Hello Bi,
Here is a link to a video about the device.
As you can see it looks like something from a Sci-Fi movie which makes me suspicious about the device. Also since that video was done they have stopped making an offer to deliver the device for free trial to the admin of OU.com as they had previously offered. On OU.com there are some comments from some people that had actually seen it in operation. They say it was bolted down to the floor. Some conjecture is there were hidden wires in the legs that actually supplied the power to run it.
Here is a link to the discussion at OU.com.
InnovaTehno.eu Free Energy Device - a big Fake or the real thing ?
Just because someone disagrees with you does NOT make them your enemy. We can disagree without attacking someone. This means YOU especially BroMikey.
recent feedback on a visit there
Quote from Stefan at OU.Com
A member of this forum did send me this email and did not want to be mentioned...
and as InnovaTehno did not contact me again with any excuse, why they did not ship the
ordered device to me, it looks rather like a scam...as they now want money in advance and
I highly recommend not to pay anything in advance...
Now also Gaia has posted that they want to work together with Innova and that puts red flags also on it,
as we still know them from the Faked AUKW KPP story...where many users lost all their money...
Here is the email:
after 1 month of trying to meet and contact inovatehno my friend from croatia finaly met them and this is what he wrote after meeting with them
First, they drived as around zagreb for 1 hour
FIrst address (from website)
Second address
Arrived there, bussiness zone, lot of small companies, no sign of innova
we called again, someone shady opened door... asking how can he help, we told that were looking for innova and have apotintment
He almost throw us out why we didnt ask him that nicely
he apparently was some kind mafia style security
When we entered some kind of office he went somewhere
Only one blonde older women accepted us
office 2-3 metters with some big box, their first product probably
wooden frame
there were around only empty rooms around place where we were
no sign that we were at innova
she said they moved 2 weeks ago
ok i know that
She didnt tell any technical world from hers mouth in 30 minutes, and said she have new meeting and we must go
No any kind of presentation or anything
i saw PCB of product, its 2x VFD driver
They are using AC DC AC techique
Said they are starting production in Australia, CZ, ukrain, cro, Canada
Investement arrived and nothing else
i said i have investor from CH, he have oped hands to invest up to 14 mil euro
whats true, she wasnt interested at all
Just saying send mail, with questions we will try to help and make it happen
Never seen fu**ed up company like this
if tesla started like this, there wouldnt be any future
Real working prototype should be ready in around 3 months, who knows
ME: so they showed u something or nothing?
Nothing, in room was only wooden frame with first prototype i guess, probably that one from video
some lamps on it, 2x VFD drivers
1 controler board from 1990year , with pic i think
1 layer board
she didnt know how to start it, she fu**ed out my question
i couldnt make picture, she didnt allow
of that unit
this is not way making bussines
1 man company or 10 man company, whatever
from my experience, what usually happens in croatia
they take money and vanish
if this is office i am retard
2 story building
this is office with proto on left upper side
with bars
inside everything empty
this looks like "rent a fake office"
if you had 1 million of investement, will u rent something like this
everything shady about it
i will send 1 email from protonmail
with bait, that i have all their conv and emails and i will tell world what are they doing
will se what they will say
if they start arguing with me, its fake
if nobody answers maybe there is something about it
end quote
Seems a sneaky deal is afoot ??
Sneaky deal
Well things arent looking good for the Innovate guys are they?
As soon as I heard they were reneging on the deal made with Stephan and they now wanted money well that brings up a flag for me but I would like to point out 2 things.And one follows the other.
First in a scam or con any scam or con there is an element of truth.These guys and others pulling these games dont just think of this out of a hat .They need something to work with to mold the con or scam around and make it believeable.They usually have a sociopathic or psycopathic mentality but they need something to work with to get going so the trick is to figure out what did they use originally before they perverted it.and this brings me to my second point.
When I talked to Denis he said they found a unit in a location and the old guy was needed to make a copy and get it working.Like I have mentioned previously I have 35 (originally36) locations narrowed down to where this unit might be and I have sent emails and am sending snail mail in some cases to these locations and the people there for details.One has already said nothing here.This will take time and I will post the results here and what I did so I ask a bit of patience on this because this could be the best lead to something that might exist and have worked at one time.I know lots of variables but for the cost of a few stamps and some time I feel worth the effort and if nothing becomes of it and its a dead end so what/Its something else that can be struck from the list.
In my Country, which is somewhere near the these guys.
Recently, I saw on TV one of my countrymen, who formerly headed a large
bank and pyramidal scam.
He after a stay in prison, now among other things, has Web site
where he offers FE device, and ask for money in advance.
Thing is that he has not any device nor any knowledge on Free energy technology whatsoever,
it's simply a scam.
Anyway I can't be sure. Nor am I interested to check it out.
Have you seen this guy
This is something different. Looks almost unreal.
Looks like he's also not completely sincere in all that he shows there.
Last edited by padova; 03-23-2017 at 09:23 AM.
I would not say he is not completely sincere, I would say he does not give away everything he has found out and / or how he achieved it. You may wish to go through his posts at overunity.com forum and then you could perhaps agree with this. He did not ask for any money from forum members, he does not advertise his devices on the internet (he has contracts). I normally read his posts on the forum and this is my impression on him.
Of course I am not here to defend anybody, just I could not help commenting your post above.
I understand what you mean. I'm just suspicious, nothing more.
I have a schematic of his oscillator. But I've never tried it, there is nothing unusual in it. I guess it's in the components, capacitors, etc. Again, if there isn't some hidden source, field or battery.
It's life, people are forced to do things, to provide existence, or a better life. Nothing unusual.
I'm just suspicious, nothing more.

Hi All,
I had to reply to the above post that was listed : have you seen this guy?
That's my friend Nelson and I know him personally and I know his work . And is real not fake, all that he shows is real . He has started with nothing and studied and did experiments to come to the understanding that he has .
You say he isn't sincere and doesn't give all the info .
He has a family and business support with his work so if you don't understand watch his video as it shows what he is doing .
He has gone out of his way to help me in understanding and also at his own expense to do so . He new me from no one and did do because I asked him for help . No one else that I ever wrote and asked even replyed let alone sent me info and circuits to help me understand . As he said to me , don't try to think of in standard terms of operation or maybe you head not stop hurting soon.
As he says everyone wants the honey but not the work needed to get it . I have learned much from Nelson and he is my good friend so I will stand up for him personally.
You should maybe learn about someone before you say such things . And is obvious you should study more before you claim is not possible . Look at his videos you can learn much from them .
Nelson is the real deal not fake .
Best wishes
Do you mean this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmlpV1MWm40
If you mean that one, then please watch this video too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7l05FmiUWY and notice how small the input current is, it is shown towards the end of the video. Such type of oscillators like Joule thief or LED lighting from 1.2V batteries are the type of blocking oscillators and these can have very low average input current to run LEDs for instance. And remember the run time for such circuits may range from 1-2 minutes to some hours, depending on the microFarad (uF) value of electrolytic capacitors across the positive and negativ supply rails.
Nelson charges up a 1000 uF capacitor (the black one on the PCB) from the piezo lighter and it can surely run the LEDs as dimly as is shown for a few minutes. This is technical reality, not a wonder. If you mean you have the schematic on this circuit, then the other electrolytic capacitor (the blue one) may also help store some energy to help the circuit running for a certain time. From the video the uF value of the blue capacitor cannot be seen.
I hope you understand: he charges up one of the electrolytic capacitors by the HV sparks from the piezo lighter and from the some volts captured in the capacitor the oscillator feeds the LEDs till the charge is consumed. The charged up capacitor is the power supply. Look up how many Joules of energy a certain X value capacitor is able to store when you charge it up with an Y value voltage amplitude. Then consider how long would it take to discharge this capacitor by a load which consumes the same average current from this capacitor the oscillator consumes.
IF you mean another oscillator circuit from Nelson Rocha and not the one I included in the above first youtube link, then please give a link to that oscillator, ok? I may be mistaken here which oscillator you meant.
I don't know personally Nelson but I admire his work; I think he's an excellent guide, but probably its corporate agreement prohibits him from being totally free.
The care and precision of his videos speak for him.
I replicated her mini radiant exciter circuit, using a different transistor.
The circuit has 2 out: output at low voltage for charging batteries and an output that he calls HV radiant.
The latter I think could be used to charge the capacitors,
discharged continuously in a transformer from which to obtain energy.
But this i s my speculation.
Attached the original Nelson circuit and my semplification
Very smart oscillator,
but I still not getting 0mA on the input side.
Transformer T2 is very important for better results.

demon: a supernatural and often malevolent being prevalent in religion, occultism, literature, fiction, mythology and folklore. In Ancient Near Eastern religions as well as in the Abrahamic traditions, including ancient and medieval Christian demonology, a demon is considered a harmful spiritual entity which may cause demonic possession, calling for an exorcism. In Western occultism and Renaissance magic, which grew out of an amalgamation of Greco-Roman magic, Jewish Aggadah and Christian demonology, a demon is believed to be a spiritual entity that may be conjured and controlled.
It is a small black book with small black writing, ink dragged first in a tight and careful hand, then turned progressively looser and messier with each turn of the page. The names inside are long and near-illegible, but I have seen them before - I have heard them in the unearthly voices broken through split lips.
The small black book came from a small black room. I am told that the room did not used to be black, but that it turned a different color on That Night. That is how people refer to exorcisms. That Night. That Day. There are no dates tied to these phrases. People know what you mean. On That Night something evil threw itself against the wall and bled into the folds of our reality. On That Day strange tongues rang off the high ceilings, screaming strange names at the sky and spitting curses at the holy water poured over a writhing body.
I have traveled thousands of miles, by plane and train and boat, to get this small black book. It comes from a priest I have never met who speaks a language I can only speak in fractured stammers. But it has to help.
It has to.
There is something inside of me. Something that twists my tongue in languages long dead and whispers things inside my head. It lives inside my skull and I can always hear it scratching there. Even when it stops its murmuring I can feel its claws against my bones; because this something wants out. It is fighting and my body is getting weaker and weaker. The small black book was inside a church I could not step inside, because the something burned me from the inside when I tried. Its heat still simmered beneath my skin each time I looked at the spiraling towers with their perfect little crosses shadowed by the sun - a punishment for wishing.
The something inside me pulls at the threads of my eyes when I try to read the small black book, and sings in my ears when I have it read to me. But I can't stop trying. I whisper prayers that make it angry, let it scream itself to exhaustion, just so I can keep going.
It leaves me exhausted, too. Some days all I can do is sleep.
When I sleep, I dream terrible dreams of goat eyes and snakes, hordes of flies, blood spilling from black storm clouds and runes whose meanings are lost when, at last, I wake.
I am at war with this thing inside me. I don't know how to win.
But I have the priest's black book and a Bible blessed by Cardinals. I have Crucifixes that I right again and again, for the thing inside me gets out to flip them while I sleep. I have holy water and I have will. I think I still have will. It is smaller than it used to be; a little flicker in my belly that I must cling to, or else let slip away. It cannot slip away. The thing inside me tries to cut and shrink and shrivel it, but I cannot let it slip away.

I adore everything about the colour "blush". It is so soft, feminine and warm. I was reminded how much I adore the colour when I stopped into the new David's Bridal in Ottawa (at Trainyards). I was very pleased to be greeted by a Vera Wang blush-coloured gown. As soon as I got home, I started hunting for beautiful blush details, and here's what I found.
