Global BEM conference 2019 – Sunday
Recently I have watched the video stream of the Global BEM 2019 conference that was recorded on Sunday, the second day of the conference, because I could not be there on that day. This day the presentations were focused on the real scientific explanations behind the so called exotic technologies. At least in the second half of the day, it became quite the roller coaster ride in terms of scientific research.
A few times during the conference the same fundamental question came up: What is electricity? A tough question to crack it seems. But it is crucial to answer this question before you can even start to understand what technology behind the question and answer is. In other words; Before you can build an internal combustion engine, you need to know everything about the fuel you are going to use. Will there be an answer to this question? Well, if you allow me to take you with me on this roller coaster, you will find out.
Opening word by Susan Manewich
The opening was done again by the lovely host Susan Manewich. She did a recap on the Saturday and elaborated on Ego. As Susan stated; this concept is intellectually simple but shows complicated behavior. There are many expressions of ego through the field of free energy and not all of these expressions are directly correlated to ego, but at the base of behavior usually ego stands tall. Ego can be a huge stumbling stone for development of products
She also mentioned the young generation, the eager and curious inventors of the future. These people need a healthy ground to start on and the younger generation should be in close contact to the established "older and wiser" engineers, inventors and investors.
John Cliss
First speaker and colleague John Cliss agreed with this idea of the younger generation taking over and taking this technology further into fruition. John did not have any doubts about this happening and he is confident that the next generation will pick up on this, as they are visibly tired of the old paradigm and old technologies that keeps them in shackles.
John Cliss is a breakthrough energy vetting consultant at the NUI foundation.
He worked as a research and development (R&D) scientist in the UK Defence Industry for 12 years until 2014.
During this time, John underwent a significant "awakening" process and turned his attention from designing "weapons of war" to "technologies of abundance". Since then John has worked to develop New Energy Technologies that create abundant amounts of clean power.
John grew up in Bristol, U.K., and graduated with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Mathematics and Computer Science. However, much of the exotic new physics he has since learnt has not been learned from a textbook.
As John said himself, he had 10 years of work "behind the scenes" of the public realm, before he turned his career around. As he worked for the UK defence industry as a mathematician he always kept an open minded view on physics.
In 2004/2005 he worked for MBDA missile systems on communication systems. They had a big budget on 'designing the future'. John worked on classified stealth techniques. Everything was compartmentalized (you did not know what your fellow colleague worked on and vice versa)
So John was pondering the question; electro-magnetism – how does it work?
Around 2009, John had an epiphany. He experienced in a dream like state the energy fields around the body in a blue glow. It was an experience of pure joy. He laughed for hours after he had the experience. From that moment on nothing would be the same old thing for John Cliss.
Between 2012 and 2014, John discovered that he had a keen interest in the work of Nikola Tesla. He found himself diving deep into fringe science theories and here say. As he calls it; "The wild west of science". But as a mathematician and scientist himself, could not take this here say for granted. He ran into a lot of opinions online, instead of hard facts, so there was one way to find out: measure the hell out of it.
John read online about a Scalar Wave Transmitter from Jean-Louis-Naudin. As a strong case of synchronicity, a colleague of John came with an actual device from a shelf that was examined a long time ago, but nothing special came from the experiments. The device was designed exactly like the machine John had seen online. So, John saw this as divine intervention.
The machine was tested by John (him being an antenna specialist) He basically worked with a transmitter and receiver. The receiver in a Faraday cage where no normal radio signal could get in or out. The Scalar Wave Transmitter seemed to emit a very narrow casting 'pencil beam' wave right through the barriers of the Faraday cage. There was a 90 dB screening (boundary, reduction) of signal strength from the cage, but the signal coming from the transmitter seemed to penetrate the cage without any signal loss.
So John was very curious about the result of this experiment and there was definitely something going on with this non-conventional transmitting technology that would raise much more questions in John's mind about this wild west of science he read about online.
He gave the test results report to scholars at the University of Bristol, but they kicked him out on reading this report. No acceptance could be found from academia.
After all these experiences, in 2014 John Cliss decided to resign from his steady job and go his own way to pursue his questions to find more answers.
From 2014 to 2017 he contacted many people in this science field. He started his own lab with his own funding and ran into an open source project called QEG; Quantum Energy Generator in Morocco. It was a high voltage (30kV) and high frequency project with a COP (Continuous Power or Coefficient of Performance) of around 0,8.
John was involved in this project to measure the in- and output of the machine and he wrote a 50 page report on it. He came to the conclusion that the unit in Morocco was not producing over unity power, but the generator was very efficient.
During this experience in Morocco, there was a real sense of a pioneering spirit between all participants. John never experienced this kind of dedication to work to accomplish a common goal in his former everyday job and it was exhilarating for him to find equal minded co-operation on this level.
In 2017, John Cliss met with Susan Manewich. At that time, the term 'Moral Technology' came up and they adopted this phrase for their start-up NUI Foundation. Like the GAIA-energy group, where the Saturday speakers Robert Reich and Roberto Reuter were representatives, NUI Foundation is the platform inventors can turn to conceptualize, design and manufacture their ideas. They create the network that reflects the abundant, co-operative nature of the cosmos. The true and only fruitful environment for these technologies to prosper. This platform offers standards against the Wild West of science. They formed this foundation officially in 2018.
John was also busy reading the work Rudolf Steiner.
"For the scientist of the future. the workbench will become an altar" – Rudolf Steiner
The separation of soul from the work in today's society can be felt and this situation will not bring breakthrough technology. Your soul needs to be connected with what you stand for in your work and your design in engineering should represent this connection.
John showed the audience the results of their work with the NUI foundation. John has flown all over the world to see the inventors and their machines. An expensive way of finding out that most inventions did not deliver the promise. In fact, after introducing their new vetting protocols NINETS, it turned out 95% of 220 technologies investigated were disproved.
So, how did the other 5% get filtered out?
- Protocol 1: 11 inventions passed NUI remote vetting (their own measurements via NUI instructions)
- Protocol 2: 7 inventions passed NUI personal vetting (NUI Expert measurement onsite)
- Protocol 3: 2 inventions passed NUI specialist vetting (NUI Specialist in the particular technology used measured onsite)
- Protocol 4: No invention passed the technology replicated in a neutral (lab) environment.
So nothing was approved yet.
John is under NDA (non-disclosure agreement) on the 2 inventions which passed protocol 3, but he had the liberty to tell us the following:
- Solid state box of electronics (shoe box size) without 'shoe box' running air conditioning unit used 6,8kVA and 31A per phase and with the solid state box 0,6kVA and 3A per phase. Huge reduction in energy needed to run the air-con unit!
- DC battery. in=112W out=150W (Fan motor load) Provides COP= 1,31. This is overunity! Also solid state electronics involved. Six months after the vetting occurred, they claim they have a self sustaining version running.
At this point of the story, John mentioned that in this stage they are talking to manufacturers. So it is important to get an overall spectrum of all parties involved into making a product. A product that also can be re-or upcycled in the end of life stage. Cradle to Cradle manufacturing that would be.
Final notice from John Cliss was how the MSM (main stream media) are starting to write about these fringe science theories and he mentioned a few popular 'emerging market inventions' that were talked about in the MSM:
- Infinity SAV (South Korea)
- Earth Engine(USA)
- Rosch(Germany/Austria)
As an example see the Wall Street Journal article about Infinity SAV. Normally, the MSM would not even bother to touch on this subject.
Toby Grotz
Who is Toby Grotz? Well, he introduced himself for Global BEM on YouTube.
Toby had a story about Bruce E. DePalma (1935-1997) (brother of famous movie director Brian De Palma) and his N-machine.
Bruce was a 1958 M.I.T. graduate (Electrical Engineering and Physics) and he was involved with Dr. Harold Edgerton in high speed photography.
Bruce lectured at M.I.T. in Photographic Science in the Laboratory of Dr. Harold Edgerton and directed 3-D color photographic research for Dr. Edwin Land of Polaroid Corporation. Bruce commenced work in free energy through studies of gyroscopes and the nature of motion.
Furthermore, he did studies on inertia with spinning and non-spinning balls. (See picture below)
DePalma published his findings on the Spinning Ball Experiment in the British Scientific Research Association Journal in 1976. He also outlined the Spinning Ball Experiment to Dr. Edward Purcell, a Harvard physics professor, one of the most eminent experimental physicists at that time. (I read this also in the book of David Wilcock; The Source field Investigations, in chapter 13)
According to Toby, a lot of writings on these experiments are not online, but are written in old magazines. And if you find anything online, usually, the links end up broken. (The hyperlinks or permalinks show nothing)
So, Toby urges the audience to get engaged to get these old magazines and scan the pages and put these online in PDF or OCR format.
Another problem with lab experiments is that universities usually hold on to the documents and reports in ownership and do not publish.
Bruce found that a rotating object can effect time. Experiments with the properties of an "inertial field" in the presence of rotating objects show that the frequency of vibration of a tuning fork in an Accutron watch shows time differences between it and a watch removed (away) from the rotating object.
After 1000 seconds, Accutron was 8/10 of a second slower when placed over the axis of a flywheel.(when the Accutron debuted, it was the first really commercially and technically successful electronic watch. At the heart of the Accutron is a tuning-fork oscillator, made to vibrate thanks to current provided by a small battery. One tine of the tuning fork has a tiny pawl attached to it, and as the tuning fork vibrates, the pawl pushes the teeth of an index wheel)
Bruce DePalma found that counter rotating gyroscopes showed 1.8 – 2.7 KG loss in weight.
Toby went on about Bruce's Force Machine ("The Secret of the Force Machine", Nova Astronautica, Vol. 15, No. 64, April-May-June, 1995, pages 1-8. ISSN: 0393-1005).
A machine containing 2 gyroscopes which was shown at a Borderland Sciences conference in 1990.
(This reminds me of the articles and videos from Project Camelot I used to read, where a certain gyroscope like time machine was pictured in their documentation on Project Looking Glass; an alleged time machine (with spinning rings) used in the black-ops world and also shown in the 2004 Hellboy movie and in the 1997 (Same year Bruce died) movie Contact with Jodie Foster. Later on with Avengers character Doctor Strange, the more animated shots yet reveal spinning rings/geometry or similar objects he activates with his hands when he manipulates space/time and don't forget the Eye of Agamotto)
So after Bruce died, what happened to Bruce's N-machine? The last time the machine was seen in Auckland New Zealand. If you have any information on the remains or whereabouts of the N-machine, please contact Toby.
What seemed to be the origin of the N-machine? Maybe the Faraday Disc (1832) A homopolar generator.
Robert Kincheloe, Homopolar generator test 1986
See also the 1994 Homopolar Handbook of Thomas Valone
The hands on engineer who built the N-machine with Bruce was (Yogacahrya) Bernard Cole
Toby Grotz also mentioned the book by Marc Seifer: "Wizard: The life and times of Nikola Tesla"
Marc is an authority on the real history of Tesla (among the many people that claim they know about Tesla's work) and this book is supposed to be the best book written about Nikola Tesla.

Toby's work on Bruce: DePalma Papers for download and the interview in 1994.
Toby was pointing at patent US 20150084467 (page 3 to 5) about backtorque reduction.
A very intriguing observation from Toby about Jevons Paradox (1866) we are now at the 5th element; Aether or rather Ether energy (see picture below)
Side note:
Eric Dollard has been studying the aether physics of J.J. Thompson. Thompson's most important concept is that the aether is the storehouse of momentum. This means that when the aether is electrified, it exhibits the properties of a substance with inertia and momentum that acts upon physical matter.

Again, Toby mentioned the collection of offline data regarding the documentation in old paper magazines (like Magnets Magazine or Infinite Energy), digitize the data in PDF or OCR format. Build up a file repository which can be used for open source hardware design in order to replicate and understand.
Montgomery Childs & Michael Clarage – Safire Group
Now, these guys (together with Paul Laviolette and Dan Winter who would come on stage after Safire) were testing my limits of scientific jargon. It was a bit hard for me to understand and make a comprehensible report out of this, but here goes…
Montgomery (Monty) Childs and Michael Clarage have a very bold introduction in replicating the sun in a laboratory! They represent the Safire Project (Stellar Atmospheric Function in Regulation Experiment) I saw that Hal Putoff is also part of the Safire advisory board. Hal was also mentioned by Jörg Schauberger when he was on stage on Saturday.
Monty (founder of Aurtas International, creator, chief scientist, and program leader of the SAFIRE Project) and Michael ( he bridges the gap between astrophysics and the SAFIRE laboratory) started their presentation with the universe as a gravity model versus the electric model as being the old and new paradigm of cosmology. And I agree with them to investigate the electric model. Especially in relation the work of Walter Russel.
So, this is what they set out to proof, in a lab with a custom made reactor and an alloy anode.
They postulate the following:
Stars live inside of a larger electrical structure. A hierarchical universe with the surrounding electrical space feeding the star with power and the planets feeding off the star.
The surrounding of our Sun is negatively charged (Kathode) and our Sun itself positively charged (Anode). This claim would be logical to me. I learned at school that in electronic engineering the ground (Earth) or chassis of the device would be minus, so negative. So, Sun +, Earth -. The biosphere in between acting as battery.
Plasma energy will always seek equilibrium but will not find this, thus it will keep flowing and moving and the star will shine because of this energy 'struggle'. So the sun is not a(standalone) nuclear energy source, but an energy conductor/transformer.
Currently on Earth, all energy production systems are secondary, meaning the energy generation depends on the indirect (transformed) energy of the Sun (being matter)and motion or propulsion tech to work, instead of the direct energy permeating from space which drives the Sun's energy. In order to understand the transmutations of matter and energy, the lab experiments are done meticulously with the electric model in mind.
Some interesting videos can be found on their Youtube Channel
The lab experiments are very exiting. That is the feeling I got from the presentation. The purpose in a lab is to control the situation and take measurements, in a way that it can be reproduced. That is science basics. But this is pioneering science. The outcome is not known. It comes down to expecting the unexpected or in Star Trek terms; "to boldly go where no one has gone before".
That is exactly what happened. They had an experience in the lab that, according to their calculations, should not have happened. The thermal reaction in the reactor peaked unexpectedly and they had to shut down the reactor in fear of a meltdown. This sounds like nuclear reactions, but this is not a nuclear experiment.
Calculations were of by 93%! As a consequence, the physicist could not handle the results that were measured. He got scared and ran off. The lab team has not heard from him since…
Anyway, the rest of the team analyzed all the probe measurements and realized that they were on uncharted scientific ground so they coined a new terminology for the reaction that took place: Electro-nuclear resonance
In the reactor they have all kinds of measurements, fiber optics, temperature and on video: HD, ultraviolet and infrared, thermal imaging.
The anode was examined with the use of a SEM (scanning electron microscope) and EDAX (Energy dispersive spectroscopy) This is basically elemental analysis with the help of a microscope. They found new elements on the anode that were not there before.
After an optical spectroscopy analysis they did further tests and they found out that the transmutation of elements can be used for the remediation of nuclear waste. This could be a major application for their discoveries.
But the focus points are (also) (which will require more funding):
- A fully functioning lab for further experiments
- Energy generating reactor for producing clean energy (without radiation)
- Harvesting potential energy (surplus)
For generating energy from the reactor, further product development is necessary to be able to transform the energy into electricity.
The bigger picture here is that nature is constantly transforming in one form to another. This is also the case with interstellar energy loops.
This is done through interstellar filaments, where star systems are aligned as the plasma permeation allows the star system to grow within the boundaries of the filament (like branches from a tree)
See graph.
Paul Laviolette
Dr. Paul Laviolette is founder of the Starburst foundation (1984) and etheric.com, where he has conducted interdisciplinary research in physics, astronomy, geology, climatology, prebiotic evolution, SETI, psychology, and anthropology. Author of Two Overunity Technologies, Secrets of Antigravity Propulsion, Subquantum Kinetics, Earth Under Fire, Genesis of the Cosmos, Decoding the Message of the Pulsars, Galactic Superwaves and their Impact on the Earth, and is editor of A Systems View of Man. He has also published many original papers in physics, astronomy, climatology, systems theory, and psychology.
I started following Paul Laviolette way back when Project Camelot interviews were conducted. At that time he wrote Earth under Fire.
Paul began his presentation with the old paradigm assumptions of 'scientism'. Scholars that act more on a belief system than to defy the former claims of peers.
So, the first slide was: How to bring down conventional physics and establish a free energy paradigm?
Well, we bring down old scientific models (starting with the Big bang theory) or rather introduce new scientific visions which hold more scientific ground.
Paul showed a phrase from William Tompkins that said a lot…
The US Navy took interest in Tompkins' capabilities and recruited him into their Intelligence programs to work on advanced technology projects. After the Navy, Tompkins worked within highly classified think tanks designing advanced weapons for aerospace companies, including North American Aviation, Northrop and Douglas Aircraft Company. He even assisted with the Saturn and Apollo Space Programs for NASA.
Paul has written many books and papers on many subjects and he took the liberty to put emphasis on a few of his many subjects:
Parthenogenesis is the more likely substitute for the Big bang theory. The universe is theorized to develop through a virgin birth materialization process that very much resembles biological parthenogenesis.
Check also the book "Genesis of the Cosmos" and "Sub-quantum Kinetics" about (A)ether theory.
Sub-quantum kinetics is a novel systems approach to physics that has far reaching implications for field theory, astronomy, and cosmology. As quoted from the Etheric website: it "was inspired by advances in our understanding of how non-equilibrium reaction systems spawn self-organizing wave patterns. Replacing the fragmented and self-contradictory framework of modern physics, sub-quantum kinetics opens the door to a truly elegant unified field theory. Electromagnetic, gravitational, and nuclear potential fields all emerge from a single set of nonlinear equations representing sub-quantum processes postulated to take place throughout all space."
Paul went on about the Belousov-Zhabotinskii Reaction, an open reaction-diffusion system.
From the Wiki: "An essential aspect of the BZ reaction is its so called "excitability"; under the influence of stimuli, patterns develop in what would otherwise be a perfectly quiescent medium. Some clock reactions such as Briggs–Rauscher and BZ using the tris(bipyridine)ruthenium(II) chloride as catalyst can be excited into self-organising activity through the influence of light."
When I read this, I have to think about another story from David Wilcock's book: "The Source Field Investigations" where David talks about the work of Fritz Albert Popp. Prof. Popp rediscovered and made the first extensive physical analysis of "Biophotons".
In the book, David talks extensively about how DNA stores, transforms and releases coherent light. He mentions also the discoverer of the DNA Phantom effect , Dr. Peter Gariaev.
Paul went on about Sub-quantum kinetics advantages
Model G reaction-diffusion system simulator is the engine at the heart of Sub-quantum kinetics. It proposes Model G as the etheric recipe, the "genetic code," that spawns the physical universe and that variations in these three ether species compose all physical form.
A web browser simulator for the Model G ether reaction-diffusion system has recently been completed by Matt Pulver. It is now posted on the Starburst Foundation website and may be accessed at this link: http://starburstfound.org/model-g-transmuting-ether-simulator/. It simulates the three partial differential equations that describe the evolution in space and time of the variable ether species G, X, and Y.
These tools can be at the basis for understanding the mechanics of free energy principles.
In our universe: photon energy loss or gain over time is the rule, energy conservation is the exception.
Red shift and blue shift in the universe show this rule as the tired light effect in red shift (masculine) and blue shifting (feminine) as matter creation.
Side note:
I have come to know that Red shift and Blue shift are well known terms in astronomy as well as in astro-theology.
In astro-theology there is the holy trinity, the modalities of creative power:
- Dielectricity (source creative power or neutral plane of inertia and acceleration where the zero point resides)
- Magnetism (force and motion, mag=to move)
- Electricity (the result or effect of Dielectricity and magnetism)
The (double) Torus field is the only known model in the universe to represent these modalities. All is Atum!
Red shift is in the lower half and blue shift in the upper half of the torus field and you have the green energy in the zero-point (which represents the heart chakra in case of biology)
Anyway, not to divert too much from the presentation, Paul continued with Nassikas Thruster ,
shown in the graph, which consists of an YBCO superconductor casting shaped in the form of a nozzle with a permanent magnet secured within its throat. Dr. Nassikas received a U.S. patent on this version last year (US 8,952,773)
The thruster exhibited a thrust-to-mass ratio 1000 times greater than the NSTAR neon ion thruster used to propel the Dawn spacecraft.
Another slide showed the TT Brown Gravitator from Thomas Townsend Brown.
Paul LaViolette uses the theory of sub quantum kinetics to provide a theoretical explanation for the phenomena produced by these experiments. A theory based on "ether physics" and the notion that masses with polarized electric fields generate polarized gravity fields that result in gravity wells (attractive forces) and gravity hills (repulsive forces). Paul thinks this technology was used to propel the B2 Bomber, based on Brown's 1965 patents.
At the end of his presentation, Paul mentioned Annie Besant and Charles Leadbeater. They are known for the book:
Thought Forms A Record of Clairvoyant Investigation.
From the standpoint of Theosophy, it tells regarding visualization of thoughts, experiences, emotions and music. Drawings of the "thought-forms" were performed by painters Varley, Prince, and McFarlane.
Dan Winter
When I saw Dan Winter on video, I was a bit baffled by his energy and speed. The guy was in a hurry putting all adjectives to every noun in his presentation. I had to rewind a bunch of times to understand what he was saying. Again, very technical and scientific talk in front of this audience. But, in the end he was repeating himself a lot, so the message would stick.
Nevertheless, I will try again to put in writing what Dan Winter had to say (although it may seem very scattered text, but this is how Dan is talking) …
Dan Winter is very popular in his field. It seems a lot of young people dig in to his websites and eat up his theories. And he has a bunch of websites where he is involved:
- goldenmean.info
- fractalfield.com
- flameinmind.com
- theimploder.com
- realheartcoherence.com
- theraphi.net
- implosiongroup.com
- Breaktrough-Technologies.com (Roger Green)
In his presentation, Dan was going further where Paul left off. Negentropy and self-organization. The return to natural order.
He was talking about centripetal longitudinal waves. The difference between transverse (amplitudinal) wave and the longitudinal wave. See graph.
Longitudinal waves can implode and achieve remote plasma containment (also known in popular terms; paranormal activity).
Phase Conjugation and Longitudinal Wave Compression of the mind.
What is that all about?
1. Human attention causes electric fields to compress (Bill Tiller)
2. Very specific frequency recipes- increase attention span (sunlight restores attention span)
3. Human attention is capable of focusing heat at a distance thru a grounded metal screen ( Ingo Swann – heats thermistor at a distance)
4. Human attention is increased in density in the presence of most any centripetal field (magnetic, optic, or dielectric)
5. Human attention climaxes in the presence of Golden Ratio between the frequency of alpha, beta – in brainwave harmonics.
6. Human (like optical phase conjugation) – produces apparent self-organization (healing) – in field effect.
7. Centripetal capacitance (a gold crown on a king, or gold egg halves around your head, or 2 animal held next to your brain temples)- increases the density of human attention . ( and conversely – 2 pieces of opposite to conjugate aluminium foil at the temples on the head- practically eliminates the measurable dowsing response – ability to feel the fields – ref: Z.V. Harvalik- American Dowsers Society).
8. Playing the exact EEG harmonics in the audio – between hemispheres- alpha/ beta etc in Golden Ratio cascades- AND 180 degrees out of phase necessary to produce longitudinal waves- is dramatically powerful to focus attention.
9. Human attention can measurably reduce radioactive half life (radioactivity reduction- reports from Uri Geller et al.)- EXACTLY centripetal the way phase conjugate dielectric capacitance can! (a correlate to human attention) -> capacitor example: Ark of the Covenant, also see pyraphi.com
The Safire group also mentioned that the transmutation of elements can be used for the remediation of nuclear waste.
-Inertia by rotating charge -> The spin rate of this rotating charge is time (see: http://www.goldenmean.info/coincidence/)
-Superfluid (Aether) dynamics is charge (electricity)
-Voltage is pressure or tension
-Flow rate is amperage
Living plasma is self aware. As humans, we should learn to communicate with this energy, before we can learn how we can work (co-operate) with it. (This is probably why a lot of free energy projects will work at one place, but reproduced elsewhere, will not work) The plasma will interact with the body and surrounding space.
Dan Winter showed the Tetraflower -> quad implosions tracks mapped by 4 axes of the tetra symmetry, showing exact phi ratio beat nodes (7 vs 5 spin tetra cube, 7 outside and 5 inside spinning)
The perfect (implosive) geometrical form is in the dodeca-icosahedron (hydrogen radii) where the phi ratios are perfectly aligned. Perfect self-similarity of the Mandelbroth fractal (boundary).
See the image where Dan is holding the dodeca-icosahedron.
Dan went on about how fractality causes gravity. In his own words:
"Gravity is a centripetal electrical force. Golden ratio perfected fractality/recursion/embedding called phase conjugation- is proven to be negentropic/ self-organizing – 'self aware'. This LIFE PRINCIPLE allows charge waves to add and multiply (heterodyne) recursively constructively, not just their wave lengths- but also their phase VELOCITY. This converts a part of the charge COMPRESSION toward center into charge ACCELERATION toward center"
You can also check the work of:
Dan refers to the pine cone shape when he talks about the recursive capacitor exchanging voltage with gravity (life force) "imagine 2 pine cones – opposing vortex- learning to kiss noses accurately then this means that phase conjugation in the brain is like phase conjugate optics"
Side note:
This pine cone (can also be representing the pineal gland) is a real eye catcher in the court yard of the Vatican museum, coincidence?
Charge acceleration due to Self-similarity: "Self-similarity of the inside to the outside predicts the amount of gravity created by atoms, DNA, stars and planets"
Self-similarity creates gravity because infinite constructive interference of (charge) wave velocities – turns compression into acceleration.
So, what is the reason an object falls to the ground? Charge is being sucked out through the speed of light (Planck's threshold) this explains (golden ratio) in DNA's role in fabricating gravity.
Kepler used this principle to proof "perfect nesting" in the golden ratio (in planet orbital ratios) This is gravity stabilizing because of infinite recursive constructive charge collapse (which defines gravity)
Egypt used to be named Khemet. Khem = blackness, referring to "black holes" or actually implosion technology (or "Egyptian black arts").
The perfect embedding or nesting is also subject to heart coherence and remote viewing/steering of objects.
With the Implosion Group, the propulsion project is based on the works of Crystal Drive from Krowsky-Frost and (published in 1981) by Gallimore, done in 1927 in Poland.
Jerry G. Gallimore:" if we alter a dielectric, instead of crushing it as in piezo-electricity, we stretch a crystal in 3-dimensions, then we will have an inversion of space and time around it.
This creates a gravitational anomaly. As shown in the article, 2 scientists in Poland, Kowsky and Frost accidentally discovered this in 1929.
Subsequent articles claimed this was a hoax, but I claim this was no hoax. I have done it in the lab and have applied for patents on it. By applying massive amounts of power to the lattice structure of a crystal, you break it into an amorphous mass and by kicking out ions one at a time, you expand the crystal without disintegrating it. Tremendous stress energy is locked up inside the crystal. It therefore can produce a local gravitational anomaly when further energy is applied."
David Hatcher Childress and W. P. Donavan are convinced of the truth of this discovery. In the book The Anti-Gravity Handbook they write about the Krowsky and Frost experiment.
P. Donavan (also acting under the name Bill Donavan) wrote in his work Glimpses of Epiphanythat he is not only deep convinced that the results of Frost's and Krowsky's experiment are true, but also that "it seems that something got out, that wasn't supposed to get out" and now it is an effort to conceal everything. Referring to the article "Uberwindung der Schwerkraft? Ein neuer Erfolg der Quarzkristallforschung" from Radio Umschau in 1927.
At the end of the presentation, Dan Winter made a reference to heart coherence in relation to old sanskrit.
This reminded me of Stan Tenen. Very interesting research he presented about the Hebrew language (letters). See the video.

In response to complaints regarding bugs in the iOS 7 security, Apple released a new update available as of last night. Although the release notes mentioned additional security content, the update appears to only address the lock-screen issue. Prominent iOS hacker MuscleNerd chimed in to confirm that the new update will not affect the current jailbreaking methods being tested for iOS 7. To update your device open the settings menu and select General > Software Update > Download and Install.
Details about what was fixed
The original exploit was discovered by Jose Rodriguez from Spain. He found that an iOS 7 device grants partial device access without entering the locks-screen passcode by performing a simple set of tasks. To do this swipe swipe up on the lock screen, reveal the control center, access the clock, press down on the power button in the the device prompts with "slide to power off," and then double-tap the home button to cancel. This gave whoever had the phone access to two things: the camera, and the contact app. Previously the only way to prevent this security exploit was to completely disable the control center. Apple fixed this with the 7.0.2 update.
Some users are reporting that the 7.0.2 update is leaving Bluetooth on after the update is complete. This is likely part of the update activating Air Drop during installation. Bluetooth can be turned off afterwards as normal without any lasting negative effects.

The opening paragraph of a Brick's Picks in August 2009. The room full of notes was from a very cool if disturbing visual hallucination I had at a Charles Owens gig at the World Stage back in 2006. Epilepsy…that was a bad year. Seizure activity all through the brain with lots of odd effects. I remember I was standing next to Chet Hanley at the time. As he didn't mention seeing the room fill up with the notes pouring from Charles Owen's horn like bubbles I decided not to mention it. I just took another pill. I'd forgotten all about this until reading this again just now. But I remember it was about that time I realized I better not stick with the jazz critic thing much longer. I did, though, for four or five more years. Anyway, I never had another visual like that. A little too Lewis Carroll for me.
We dig saxophone. It's the iconic jazz ax. Trumpets were once, a long time ago, and clarinets had their sweet little run too. But once solid hard-blowing Coleman Hawkins got the sax out front that was it. Lester Young came in right after that, so spooky and perfect and lackadaisically gorgeous… Then Bird just turned everything inside out with his thing, rushing here and there and everywhere at once almost. You try to follow those solos, your eyes'll cross. And then Trane? Oh lord. You put Trane's thing on top of Bird's thing on top of Hawk's things and all around Prez's thing and you got harmonics gone nuts, fingers going crazy, you got all that forced air rushing through that crazy saxophone and notes and chords flying free from that bell, making crazy patterns, and if you could see them, if the notes were different colors, they'd be filling rooms, all squiggly flatted fifths and minor sevenths and whole bars of chords piling up everywhere. Think of that next time you're sitting there in some jazz joint, the sax man blowing his ass off. Imagine all those notes. Not even the piano emits as many notes (and those would be neatly stacked or maybe scattered across the floor like shards of a glass enclosure.) Nope, it's the sax that makes the most sound in jazz. There's just literally more jazz to be heard coming out of it. Music theory this ain't. We just dig the sax.

Letters to the Editor
Correcting some misstatements
I would like to thank Carlsbad Current Argus for its coverage of the March 13 public meeting held by the National Academies of Sciences in Carlsbad, meant to examine whether WIPP is a safe and cost-effective place to isolate plutonium resulting from nuclear weapons stockpile reduction.
However, the coverage also included some misleading arguments by Albuquerque resident Don Hancock, a lifelong critic of WIPP. These statements merit rebuttal:
- Don Hancock was quoted as saying that Congress would have to change the Land Withdrawal Act to include this material. That is deceptive. As the article points out, the plutonium from stockpile reduction would be treated, and made into a form that makes it just like other plutonium already being sent to WIPP. There is NO need to amend the WIPP Land Withdrawal Act.
- Hancock suggested securing the waste at its generator sites until a permanent storage solution, other than WIPP, is found. But in its current form it is not waste. By stockpiling it in its current form, it requires "safeguards" to ensure its protection. The cost of safeguarding can be avoided by simply treating the plutonium to meet the same waste acceptance criteria as other waste shipped to WIPP, and the safeguards can then be terminated, saving billions of dollars.
- Hancock says, "We need to reiterate what WIPP's mission is, and what it's not.", I strongly disagree. WIPP was designed and built to permanently isolate TRU waste from the biosphere forever. Whether the TRU waste contains plutonium on rags and clothing, or plutonium from weapons that has been irretrievably fixed inside a diluted solid chunk, if it meets the waste acceptance criteria, it has been shown to be safe, over and over again.
- Hancock also argued that oil and gas operations near WIPP have increased in recent years, making any physical expansions of the underground mine dangerous. He said "Look at what happens around WIPP, there are 500 oil and gas wells surrounding WIPP. You can't put nuclear waste in a volcano." This statement makes no sense and is clearly just an effort to paint a picture in the minds of those unfamiliar with WIPP, or does Hancock really think an oil well is a volcano? Furthermore, the oil wells near WIPP are far outside the 16-square mile withdrawal area. The actual disposal footprint is only a single square mile inside the 16-square miles. No drilling is allowed on the 16 square miles or even underneath. Hancock is deceptively trying to convince us that somehow, solid waste, will move miles and miles through solid impermeable rock salt, and find its way into an oil well, which is simply ridiculous.
- In a presentation to the panel, Hancock claimed 20,000 cubic meters of space were "lost" by not filling disposal rooms up to their full capacity. That argument would purport that the volume of the underground rooms counts against the capacity. Using that logic, we all "lose" half a box of our morning cereal because it is not full, paying no mind to the clearly stated number of ounces contained printed on every box.
- Hancock goes on to say "WIPP is a bad place because its history is it hasn't worked very well". Again: False. WIPP has made an enormous contribution to the safety our nation. Permanent isolation of long-lived TRU radioactive waste in WIPP has enabled millions of people living near former DOE weapons sites to live their lives without risk of exposure. Billions of taxpayer dollars have been saved because removal of these materials from DOE sites has allowed safeguards to be terminated, thereby avoiding the cost to protect it from proliferation.
One would think that Don Hancock, an anti-nuclear activist, would favor actions that would reduce the possibility of using this surplus plutonium for nuclear weapons, why fight the safe and permanent disposal of said material?

Living with Alzheimer's disease
Imagine a decent-sized New Mexico town where every single person is losing memory, can't solve problems, has difficulty with familiar tasks, is wracked with confusion and has severe problems with speaking or writing and there is little or no healthcare support. You don't need to imagine.
New Mexico has 38,000 persons living with Alzheimer's disease – that's more than the population of Hobbs. Many of these people face the challenges of living in rural and isolated communities without adequate healthcare support or services. This is unacceptable and underscores the growing public health crisis of Alzheimer's disease in our state.
Alzheimer's disease is the sixth leading cause of death. We know of no cure, treatment or means of prevention. Is there no good news? There can be if we take action.
I am a volunteer advocate for the Alzheimer's Association, NM Chapter because this disease affects us all in New Mexico and in the nation. Many voices are needed to let our lawmakers know that Alzheimer's is a priority.
Your voice added to mine can make a difference. Ask your Congressman, Stevan Pearce, to make these issues a priority : 1) Increased funding to the National Institutes of Health for Alzheimer's research – the amount requested in fiscal year 2019 is an additional $425 million; and 2) Support of the BOLD Infrastructure for Alzheimer's Act (S. 2076/H.R. 4256), which would create an Alzheimer's public health infrastructure across the country to implement effective Alzheimer's interventions focused on public health issues such as increasing early detection and diagnosis, reducing risk and preventing avoidable hospitalizations.

Sen. Heinrich record good on Caverns elevator
On March 12, this paper published a letter from Senate candidate Mick Rich attacking Senator Martin Heinrich's record on Carlsbad Caverns. Clearly Mr. Rich didn't take time to do his research because his letter is riddled with falsehoods.
To start, Mr. Rich claimed Sen. Heinrich was with the Obama family when they visited the Caverns; he was not. Mr. Rich also claims Sen. Heinrich failed to act when the elevators went down. The truth is Sen. Heinrich was sounding the alarm about the $12 billion maintenance backlog in our national park service system even before the elevators went down. And when they did, Sen. Heinrich pushed the Obama administration to expedite the repairs, because he understands how important the caverns are to Carlsbad's economy.
I'm not sure why Mr. Rich chose this issue to attack Sen. Heinrich, since Mr. Rich opposes creating national parks and mocks the jobs that tourism supports. Mr. Rich should spend less time on misleading attacks and more time learning about the role tourism plays in New Mexico's economy.

I and my Sanctuary have been featured both in the press over the years all extremely nerve racking. This week I shall be speaking at a corporate event. To say that I am anxious is an understatement. By nature, I have always been shy which of course played a large part in my instant love affair with the ugly juice, alcohol all those years ago. Fear of life in general. The drinking years allowed me to be outrageous sometimes, and during my twenties and thirties, I appeared to be frighteningly confident.
Until inevitably, I lost it. Then of course the fear was whether I could get to lunchtime without a drink. Fear of being found out and fear of the catastrophic consequences that followed the binges. So much fear that it simply swallowed me up.
When I got well, I had to deal with the fear in a different way. I had to re-wire. One of the very best phrases I heard that helped me was that fear was courage in action. Inaction leads to fear. It soon became clear that the thinking about what could happen, and of course always thinking of the worst case scenario, was the biggest instigator of the fear.
Now I imagine the outcome rather than dwell on the build-up. So far there have been no seriously inappropriate outcomes. I may have failed a couple of times to put a point across, time is always short, and I could write and talk several books, and I have had disagreements with the great and the good. But I have never been ashamed, or guilt ridden or embarrassed.
All my clients have a fear in different degrees. But there is no doubt it has played a part in their individual drinking careers.
One to one my clients and I discuss the fear. It's really a very intimate subject sometimes, because yet again, we tend to beat ourselves up over any perceived weakness. It is vital to try to eradicate it and that can only be done with empathetic long term support. At the height of our intoxication there was no fear, so getting to grips with new coping mechanisms is yet another part of the work we do together, and perhaps one of the most vital parts of true emotional control and sobriety.
So there is real benefit from being proactive. Never standing still, never letting the void created by not drinking become unused. We wasted so much time, making the most of it now seems to be one of the most satisfying parts of this journey, and shows us just how much simpler and positive life is without the ethanol.
For which is the worst fear, the fear of stopping or the fear of carrying on?

Burundi: Pierre Buyoya dies from COVID-19
Pierre Buyoya, the former president of Burundi who twice seized power in military coups and oversaw a prolonged ethnic civil war that killed 300,000 of his countrymen, has died at 71.
Buyoya died just two months after being convicted in absentia by a court in Burundi of the 1993 murder of a successor, a killing that triggered more than a decade of ethnic bloodletting.
"The death of former President Pierre Buyoya is confirmed. There is no more doubt," the head of the information and communications division at the office of Burundi's President Willy Nyamitwe said in a tweet.
At the time of his death, Buyoya had been living in Mali, where he had held a post as an envoy of the African Union. An official at the Clinique Pasteur in the Malian capital Bamako told Reuters Buyoya had been treated there before being evacuated to Paris overnight. He gave no further details.
Former President Pierre Buyoya
A relative of Buyoya, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Buyoya had died on December 17, en route to Paris for medical treatment.
French radio RFI said Buyoya had contracted COVID-19 in Mali and had been hospitalized there for a week.
Buyoya, a member of the Tutsi minority that held power in Burundi for decades after the country's 1962 independence from Belgium, was president for 13 years in total during two stints, from 1987-1993 and from 1996-2003.
From 2012, Buyoya served as the African Union's envoy for Mali and the Sahel region. He resigned last month after his conviction in absentia at home.
Buyoya first took power in 1987, ousting president Jean-Baptiste Bagaza in a military coup. In June, 1993, Buyoya left office after losing Burundi's first free election, to Melchior Ndadaye, a member of the Hutu majority.
Just three months after Ndadaye took office, soldiers from the still Tutsi-dominated military captured and killed the new president. His death unleashed a conflict in which both the Tutsi-led army and mainly Hutu rebels were accused of atrocities against civilians.
Three years after the killing of Ndadaye, Buyoya returned to power in a second military coup. He stepped down in 2003, replaced by his vice president, Domitien Ndayizeye, a Hutu, as part of an agreement that helped end the conflict.
In October, Burundi's Supreme Court convicted Buyoya in absentia of Ndadaye's murder, sentencing him to life in jail.
Buyoya called the conviction politically motivated. RFI said that at the time of his death he planned to return to Burundi to clear his name.

Cooperation and parental care in the context of predation
Whether a prey animal hides, flees or counterattacks when faced with an approaching predator influences myriad aspects of its behaviour, ecology and even psychology. Previously, I discovered large differences in cooperative behaviour between two deer species that are similar in size and closely related. Mule deer females engage in a highly aggressive and cooperative defence against coyotes. They defend fawns that are not their own offspring and will even defend fawns from another species, white-tailed deer. In contrast, white-tailed deer females only move toward the site of an attack if there is a possibility that their own offspring is the victim. My students and I showed that protection by mule deer females reduces the risk of capture for both mule deer and white-tailed deer fawns and that white-tailed deer females actively deposit their fawns within mule deer groups, apparently using mule deer females as baby-sitters.
Our research has led to breakthroughs in understanding how prey behaviour influences predator hunting success and, in turn, populations of prey and the predator-prey community. We used observations of coyotes hunting deer to show that differences in a prey's tendency to flee or to fight influences the type of groups and habitats in which prey live. The different tactics prey use against predators even influence the time of year when fawns are most vulnerable to predators, thereby shaping the predator's feeding habits and annual survival patterns for the prey population.
Much of our work has been directed to understanding variation in cooperation and parental care, both from adaptive and mechanistic perspectives. Typically, it is the distress call, or cry, of a fawn that elicits a response by mothers. By using these cries in playback experiments with free-ranging deer, we ruled out traditional explanations for the mule deer's defence of non-offspring such as misdirected parental care or kin selection.
We found that mule deer and white-tailed deer mothers respond to conspecific distress calls as long as the pitch, or fundamental frequency (F0), fell within 50% of the mean F0 for newborn fawns. We then discovered that females respond to the cries of an extraordinary range of mammalian species, including seals, bats, marmots and human infants, as long as the F0 falls, or is manipulated to fall, within the deer's species-specific range (see videos below). They did not respond to control sounds having the same F0. These results suggest that acoustic traits of a newborn's cry that are essential for a response, and a caregiver's sensitivity to these acoustic features, are shared across diverse species of mammals.
Current projects
We are grateful to many people who generously provided recordings for use in acoustic analyses or playbacks: Dan Blumstein (marmots), John Byers and students (pronghorn); Isabelle Charrier (fur seals and sea lions), Jack Hogg (bighorn sheep), Ben Pitcher (seals), Paul Faure (bats), Alan McElligott (fallow deer), Elodie Briefer (goats), Radim Kotrba (cervids and bovids), Joah Madden (meerkats), and Dan Mennill and the Mennill Sound Analysis Laboratory (bird distress calls), Radim Kotrba (eland and other ungulates). We thank the following people for making arrangements so that we could record their study subjects or animals under their care: Jim Hare (ground squirrels), John Byers and his students (pronghorn), and Chris Enright, Charlene Berkvens, Robert Wrigley and other members of the animal care staff at the Assiniboine Park Zoo.
2. Using behaviour to understand reproductive isolation and disease transmission in deer
3. Prey behaviour and predator-prey relationships
My students and I continue to use an exceptional field site and a long-term data set on the coyote, deer and ground squirrel populations to examine the influence of specific prey behaviours (e.g., cooperative defence versus individual flight) on coyote hunting success, fawn survival, the deer populations and and the larger predator-prey community. This work is based on the prairie grasslands of western Canada where we have the unique opportunity to observe coyotes as they hunt deer and other prey species.

About Us
Our Mission:
Northland Hospice and Palliative Care is a non-profit, community-based organization committed to excellence in end-of-life and comfort care.
Our Vision:
Northland Hospice and Palliative Care, a non-profit organization, is the first choice of professionals and families to provide the highest quality hospice and palliative care services in Northern Arizona, serving those in need of services regardless of ability to pay.
Hospice: A Historical Perspective
The term "hospice" (from the same linguistic root as "hospitality") can be traced back to medieval times when it referred to a place of shelter and rest for weary or ill travelers on a long journey. The name was first applied to specialized care for dying patients by physician Dame Cicely Saunders, who began her work with the terminally ill in 1948 and eventually went on to create the first modern hospice—St. Christopher's Hospice—in a residential suburb of London.
Saunders introduced the idea of specialized care for the dying to the United States during a 1963 visit with Yale University. Her lecture, given to medical students, nurses, social workers, and chaplains about the concept of holistic hospice care, included photos of terminally ill cancer patients and their families, showing the dramatic differences before and after the symptom control care. This lecture launched a chain of events, which resulted in the development of hospice care as we know it today.

Our Founder Marilyn Pate
In 1982 a small group gathered with a vision to meet the needs of the terminally ill in our community.
In 1983 "Hospice of Coconino," as it was originally named, began with support of the Coconino County Health Department. It soon became "Northland Hospice" with Marilyn Pate carrying the dream forward, originally coordinating the program out of her own home. Marilyn served as Executive Director until retirement in 2006. Under her leadership, Northland Hospice became one of the most recognizable and well-respected non-profit organizations in town. Most patients were served in their own homes; others could not be served there, so Marilyn's dream for a Hospice Home took shape and in 2002, The Olivia White Hospice Home became reality.
Proudly, we are committed to upholding Marilyn's wish to provide the very best end-of-life care possible to those who need it. Northland Hospice has served Flagstaff and surrounding communities for 36 years, thanks to those who have believed in and supported the dream.
It is amazing to see how far Northland Hospice has come while still remaining true to Marilyn's vision and dreams. Thank you to Ms. Marilyn Pate for her compassion and dedication to the community of Flagstaff.

This is my triple threat for 2020. How do I refresh, recharge and repeat?
I set out with 10 massage sessions at a spa within a mega-gym. Said gym has a pool, hot tub, sauna, spa, healthy eating arena, and all the gym equipment you could ever want to use.
If you pay for a service at the spa you are entitled to use of the facility for the day. I'm specifically not naming the mega-gym because I love this feature as I am a non-member. Now that $100 massage has a lot more value. I also bought a block of massages in volume thus lowering my cost to less than $80.
I make sure to get in some cardio, get my deep tissue massage, head to the pool for a swim then into the sauna as many times as I can. Over and over again from cold to hot. It's amazingly refreshing.
This type of day is more of an active recovery session for me but it's full of many benefits. If you have a facility near you that offers a similar option, take advantage!
I will spread my 10 visits over the year to give me the right amount of recovery from massage that works within my budget and time constraints.
In this scenario I unplug from technology as well for about 4 hours. It's a great opportunity to recharge. Obviously this works for me. This is the repeat feature. Also if my investment is $80 for the massage but I spend four hours at the facility I am definitely getting my money's worth.
Just another healthy hack for you in 2020 from 2 Chicks and a Pen. Recovery is part of staying healthy. Me time to reset my mind is equally beneficial. Don't forget to flip your recharge switch.
Refresh, Recharge, Repeat
This is my triple threat for 2020. How do I refresh, recharge and repeat?

The 94th Annual AMBUCS National Conference was held recently in Tuscon, Arizona, at the Lowes Ventanna Canyon Resort, and was attended by the following members from our club: Kim Davis, our club's President-Elect; Patty Vannoy, immediate Past President of National AMBUCS; and David Vannoy, chairman of our club's Projects Committee.
The event was 5 days – with the first couple of days filled with National Board Meetings, the Great Tuscon Bike Build where the AmTrykes given during the Conference at the AmTryke Rodeo and the Vet Ride were assembled, a Golf Outing, a First-Timers Meeting; and then wrapping up Wednesday evening with the Opening Night Celebration Fiesta.
Thursday was the start of 3 days of Member training and special events, and the opportunity for AMBUCS from all over the country to get acquainted, wrapping up Thursday evening with the Veteran's Ride and Dinner, with some special entertainment for the vets.
Their was a Vet Bike Ride, and our club was responsible for the donation of one of the 28 Vet Bikes presented that evening, with ours going to Thomas Hoyer, who was a medic in the Air Force.
Saturday morning was the 11th Annual Trek 4 Trykes Walk-a-Thon to raise money for more AmTrykes, and immediately after that was the 13th Annual AmTryke Rodeo, where AmTrykes are presented to local recipients from the area, and our club provided the funds to donate one to Liam.
We also contributed to the 2 AmTrykes given by our District 6-C – one went to Aaron.
And the other to Olivia.
Who apparently changed to a super hero after receiving her AmTryke!
Our club was number 17, out of 34 Superior Chapters, the highest chapter recognition based on our Scorecard Points accumulated for various club activities during the year. Lubbock Monterey AMBUCS was also recognized as a Blue Chip Chapter for having a 93% retention rate on our Membership for last year.
The report from the Scholarship Committee was that 264 students received scholarships totaling $199,350 in 30 different states; with Texas. at 97 Scholarships, having over a third of those given; and the majority of those were right here in Lubbock, thanks to the ongoing work of our very own Patty Vannoy.
Patty says that the highlight of the week's activities for her though was the presentation by Oz Sanchez, a former marine who was injured in a hit-and-run motorcycle accident which resulted in a spinal cord injury and "the inevitable neurological complications that can accompany such an injury."
According to the event program, "After the accident, the biggest fear Oz faced was how he would define himself given his new physical parameters." Apparently, he has done very well at it, having competed in the adaptive sports of handcycling and triathlon, and is a five-time world champion in those events, and a silver medalist in Rio. I'm sure Patty will share more on Oz (and his remarkable story) at our luncheon on Monday, November 7 when she and Kim Davis give us a more comprehensive review of the entire event.
The info-packed and inspiration-filled Annual National Conference is something that many of our current members have experienced in past years, and something that hopefully each of you who have never been can one day attend to get a bigger picture of what AMBUCS is all about nationally.

After a cup of coffee with the Nets, one of the NBA's most-traveled players has found a new home.
Dwight Howard finalized his buyout with Brooklyn Tuesday night and will sign a $5.3 million deal with the Washington Wizards, according to multiple reports.
Brooklyn acquired the big man on June 20th in exchange for Timofey Mozgov, two second-round picks and cash, but the Nets promptly began the process of buying him out a day later.
The wheeling and dealing on the Nets' part was in an effort to clear salary cap space for the summer of 2019, when they could potentially sign two max contracts. The Knicks are on a similar path, pinpointing 2019 free agency as a time when they can chase after another star to support Kristaps Porzingis, who could miss all of next season with an ACL injury.
Howard, for his part, joins his sixth team (not counting the Nets) in eight seasons and enters into a tenable situation in Washington with a locker room that is not exactly known for being close knit.
The team's star, John Wall, griped about some of his teammates in his exit interview after losing in the first round of the playoffs this season. He did not name anyone, though the point guard had a previous spat with Marcin Gortat that needed to be worked out through a sit-down.
Gortat was traded to the Clippers earlier this week, so Howard will ostensibly fill that void at center for Washington. But he also brings another large personality into the locker room that has turned off NBA stars in the past, most notably Kobe Bryant when Howard was with the Lakers.
The Nets likely wanted no part of that as they try to rebuild under Kenny Atkinson, with young centers Jarrett Allen and Jahlil Okafor part of their future.

So it's only our first day away and already there is a very distinct difference between holidaying with a young baby and with a baby who is on the move.
Now I know Rory isn't walking yet but he is crawling at speed, in to everything and cruising his way to anything he wants. He is no longer happy just sitting and playing with his toys, he now wants to know just how breakable that glass vase is and how tasty that wire or precious ornament might be. Despite doing some serious baby-proofing upon arrival and removing a variety of items from the small one's reach; Rory has still managed to show us that nowhere is safe and that he will find a way to cause destruction. I mean who knew that attempting to tear pages out of your Great-Grandad's book whilst trying to find where the lift the flaps are hidden, would be so entertaining.
Needless to say, this holiday will definitely not be such a chilled out relaxed one. Every moment that Rory is awake he is ready for action, prepared to strike the moment your guard is down, whether that be by attempting to climb the fireplace or by trying to eat spiders on the veranda. As a result, I am now carefully planning how to spend each day of our holiday to ensure that we are out and about and keeping his busy little mind entertained as much as humanly possible.
Don't get me wrong I'm not saying his exploring is a bad thing, I love seeing him being inquisitive and I can't wait to go on some adventures with him this week. However, I will say that, no matter how much I love spending time with him, when nap time comes, that half hour of baby free time is bliss. Pass me that cuppa!!

Do you know how when you are eating peanut M&Ms, and one rolls out of your fingers on its way to your mouth and you try to catch it about a billion times before it plunges to its sad little death in the exact spot where you keep your dirty high heel bottoms for 9 hours everyday?
Well that happened to me today. It was the most exercise I've gotten in quite awhile.
Anyway, here's my Boxycharm box:
Kind of liking it. I will use everything, so that's a plus. Let's review.
The Illume hand creme has such pretty packaging, and that is primarily the only reason why I love it. Cuz seriously, if you think about it, hand lotion is kind of boring. One tube lasts for eons and eons. So unless you're a habitual lotion user, you will own this tube for 15 years. They sent me the Thai Lily scent, and it smells pretty good. Although I saw on their site they also have a coconut mango – I would have loved that scent more. Food smells get me everytime. Floral scents come in second place, and then random inanimate object scents (like Desert Oasis or Cool Breeze – because none of that has a smell) are dead last. In fact, you will never see me in Yankee Candle buying a pack of Morning Dew tealights. Because what does morning dew smell like? Nothing. It smells like nothing.
One thing I wasn't particularly thrilled to get was the Ferro Cosmetic pink "Fabuki" brush. Is that a gimmicky name or am I being an asshole? Well, regardless, someone in the marketing meeting came up with the genius idea to name this pink Kabuki a Fabuki most likely because it is "fabulous" and everyone needs to know immediately. Okay, yes, I'm being an asshole.
Having said all that, it is very soft and I will find a use for it. I applied some powder on my face over the weekend and I liked the texture very much. Probably won't announce to my friends that I own a "Fabuki" brush, but whatever.
Got a lipstick from Mirabelle, and it is purple. Okay, technically it's more of a magenta, but man is it bright. I wore it to work last week, and I was very self conscious all day. The color, although not red, might as well be red. It is super obvious and verging on prostitute-y. Can't say I don't love it, though, but I'll probably only pull this one out for special events. However, can't say I have very many special events occuring in my life. So either I'll own this tube for 15 years (along with the hand lotion), or I'm wearing purple lipstick to your baby shower.
Just sayin.
And now for one of those products you know you need but do not enjoy getting as a gift: nail polish remover. They're like the socks-for-Christmas of the makeup world. I got mine in the form of Lauren B. Beauty nail wipes. There really isn't a whole lot to say here. They remove your nail polish. Am I missing any other pertinent info? Let's see: they wipe away your nail polish, they get rid of your nail polish, you use them to take off your nail polish. Yep, covered everything. Moving right along.
Last item in the box are two pouches of hair conditioning treatment cream from Novex. They sent me the Argan oil version as well as the olive oil one. I used the Argan pouch a few days ago because I was feeling like my hair needed a little TLC. The instructions said to leave this on your hair for 25 minutes using a shower cap. 25 minutes?! That's a whole lotta lookin ridiculous if you ask me. But I was a good kid and did as I was told. Was it worth it? Wellllllll … it didn't make my hair fall out or anything, so that's always a bonus. Did I have ultra luxurious supermodel wind machine hair? Not quite. Still was frizzy as hell once I dried it. My hair is stupid. I give up.
Actually, if I would just stop all the shenanigans and go back to my Carol's Daughter hair mask instead, everything will work itself out. Cuz that stuff is legit.
I'm done for now. Except I just remembered I subscribe to approximately a billion boxes, and I forgot one. So instead of having just 3 more to review, I now have 4. Not complaining, but this is hard work guys. Like SO. HARD. Let's do a nap.

Ectopic pregnancies are pregnancies in which the egg fertilizes outside of the uterus where the baby is supposed to develop. In an ectopic pregnancy, once the egg and sperm have united during conception, the embryo stays in the mother's tubes, cervix, ovary or another part of female physiology. Ectopic pregnancies were first documented in the eleventh century and when they were initially discovered, proved to be fatal to the growing embryo. The frequency of ectopic pregnancies have increased substantially (about 6-fold) since the 1970s and now 2% of women experience them.
Since the eleventh century physicians and surgeons have developed ways to better identify ectopic pregnancies, prevent them and fix them. Why is it so important that an ectopic pregnancy is caught and resolved? Ectopic pregnancies often cause whatever organ the egg has implanted in to rupture. The rupture is caused by the growth of the egg. The uterus, where healthy pregnancies occur, has the ability to stretch and make room for a growing baby but other reproductive organs do not. When the egg implants elsewhere it stretches that organ until, unless resolved, it bursts causing massive hemorrhage. In the case of a ruptured organ many women and embryos, prior to current surgical methods, died.
If you become pregnant your doctor will do regular check ups and ask you to monitor spotting or light bleeding that can be indicative of an ectopic pregnancy. If an ectopic pregnancy is suspected, your doctor will offer a variety of surgical options. Choosing surgery means that your pregnancy must be aborted. In the operation, your surgeon will use laparoscopy to expose the pelvic cavity. Once the pelvic cavity is exposed the surgeon will incise (cut into) the fallopian tube, or other implantation area. The fetus will be aborted and the surgery may result in bleeding.
Doctors and nurses will follow your post operation health carefully. If you would like to get pregnant again, your chance of having another ectopic pregnancy is about 10%. If you are fearful of having another ectopic pregnancy, ask your physician about in vitro fertilization (surgical implantation of sperm) which significantly reduces your chances of having another ectopic pregnancy.
It is important to limit your risk ectopic pregnancies in any way possible. By quitting smoking, using a condom, avoiding multiple sexual partners, and being tested for Chlamydia (a sexually transmitted disease) you may significantly reduce your risk and carry your baby to full term.
If you have any further questions, be sure to contact your doctor, registered nurse or nurse practitioner.

PODGORICA (Reuters) – Montenegro's president nominated Zdravko Krivokapic, the leader of a pro-Serb opposition alliance backed by the powerful Serbian Orthodox Church, to form a government on Thursday, ending three decades of socialist rule.
For the Future of Montenegro and its allies from the centre-right alliance Peace is Our Nation, and a group led by the green URA party, jointly secured a slim majority of 41 deputies in the 81-seat parliament in an election on Aug. 30. They subsequently agreed to form a cabinet.
After meeting the leaders of the proposed coalition, President Milo Djukanovic said he would forward Krivokapic's name to parliament.
Djukanovic, who faces reelection in 2023, said the new government would maintain reforms and investments in the tiny Adriatic republic of only 620,000, a NATO member and a candidate to join the European Union.
"This proves the maturity of our society … Montenegro is recognised as a (key) factor for regional stability," he said.
For Future of Montenegro has pledged the country would maintain its EU membership bid and NATO membership.
Krivokapic said that the talks with Djukanovic "were a sign of improvement of the political culture" and that he and other opposition leaders will send a proposal for the composition of new Cabinet to the parliament by Nov 8.
"The most important thing for us is the different future for Montenegro," he told reporters.
Opposition leaders, democracy and human rights watchdogs, have long accused Djukanovic and his Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) of running Montenegro as their own corrupt fiefdom with links to organised crime.
The DPS and Djukanovic deny the charges.
Montenegrins who identify as Serbs account for about a third of its population. Most Montenegrins and Serbs share language and the Orthodox Christian faith, and many of Serbia's citizens have roots and families in Montenegro.
The Serbian Orthodox Church, the largest in the country, held daily protests against a law adopted last December that allows the state to seize religious assets whose historical ownership cannot be proven.

Marital Settlement Agreement
In New Jersey, the vast majority of divorce cases settle by way of agreement, consistent with New Jersey's long-held public policy to encourage the settlement of all litigation. As set forth in the Appellate Division case of Tahan v. Duquette, 259 N.J. Super 328, 336 (App. Div. 1992), "no stranger in a judicial robe, however able and well motivated he or she may be, is equipped to make a decision as valid" as the parties working together to reach a resolution.
A good marital settlement agreement will address all issues touching the parties' lives including, but not limited to, child custody and parenting time, financial support, and the division of assets and debts. At Eveland & Foster, LLC, our skilled and experienced attorneys are available to help you negotiate and memorialize the terms of an agreement to resolve your divorce and move on with the next chapter of your life.

If you're looking for something more secluded than the beach scene of Grand Traverse Bay, head south on Garfield Road to where the city's imprint disappears and rolling hills of towering oaks and pines take its place – the same hills that shelter the beautiful gems of Arbutus Lakes.
Drive the dozen miles to Mayfield, where you can find what you'll need for your Arbutus Lake escape at the Mayfield Store (4044 S. Garfield R., 231-263-5685). Beach day today? Load up on ready-made sandwiches, sodas from the cooler, baked goods and scoops of hard-packed ice cream. Fishing excursion? You're in luck – Mayfield, the birthplace of the legendary Adams dry fly, offers angling supplies aplenty. Find fishing licenses, hooks, bait and other gear at the Mayfield store, then hit the road and head north again on Garfield.
You'll hang a right at Potter Road (look for the blinking caution light) and follow the brown boat-launch signs all the way to North Arbutus Lake Road. A few miles up you'll find the launch, with plenty of parking and a restroom nearby. Arbutus Lake is actually a string of five smallish lakes, connected and identified by number. Set sail from this launch into Lake No. 4, where bluegill and largemouth bass are common catches. It's generally peaceful here, but a no-wake regulation on Lake No. 1 and No. 5 ensures even more tranquil angling.
Prefer your lake with a side of sand? Head by car to East Arbutus Lake Road where East Bay Township Park No. 5 provides a beach, wooded picnic area and dock from which you can splash around. If you get too tuckered out to make the trek home, cruise back to North Arbutus Lake Road and Arbutus No. 4 State Forest Campground (231-922-5280), where you can spend the night snuggled in a tent pitched at one of 30 rustic campsites.

Here's what will happen to the riverboat
Tropicana Evansville patrons are looking forward to visiting the new land-based casino, but they also admitted not knowing much about it yet.
"Are there going to be new restaurants? How about the old boat, what are they going to do with that?" Amy Bedwell of Terre Haute asked recently.
"Are there going to be many new (slot) machines?" Barbara Knight of Sullivan, Indiana, asked.
In advance of the new casino's grand opening at 10 a.m. Oct. 20, here's what we know about the answers to those questions, and a few more.
· What will the new casino look like?
The biggest change is all gaming options are on one floor, as opposed to the three-floor riverboat casino It faces Riverside Drive, between the Tropicana and Le Merigot hotels.
At its reopening, the casino will have 41 table games and 1,177 slot machines. About 100 of the slot machines are new.
It's roughly the same number of games offered on the riverboat, because state legislation allowing riverboats to move on land did not permit expaned gaming.
The land-based casino will have 47,500 square feet of gaming space, up from 36,000 on the riverboat. And ceilings are far higher.
The new casino's high-limit area will have a different look, as well.
"It will have its own bar, with both table games and slots in the same area," said John Chaszar, Tropicana Evansville general manager. "They are in two separate areas (on the riverboat)."
With new casino, Evansville again a gaming pioneer
Tropicana casino to open in October
Local governments could see less casino money
What is the smoking policy in the new casino?
Smoking is permitted in the land-based casino, like on the riverboat,. A small part of the floor will be smoke-free.
Chaszar said the new facility's ventilation system will be superior to the riverboat's, making the environment better for nonsmokers.
What are the new restaurants and entertainment options?
Let's first look at what won't be in the new facility.
Max & Erma's and Hoosier's Lounge, on the casino pavilion's ground floor, are closing. An Italian restaurant in the pavilion already has closed.
Cavanaugh's, an upscale steakhouse on the pavilion's upper floor that has riverfront views, will remain open. The casino's gift shop near Cavanaugh's also will stay. Chaszar said the pavilion's newly vacant space will be redesigned and repurposed at some point.
The Kitchen, a buffet restaurant in Tropicana Hotel, was recently expanded in anticipation of increased business from the land-based casino.
The biggest restaurant addition in the new building is Tap House, which is just off the new casino's floor on the Le Merigot end. It will have 36 beers, including several from local breweries. It will be a casual restaurant in the mold of Max & Erma's.
The Deli, near the Tropicana Hotel end of the casino, will be open around the clock offering New York-style sandwiches, hot dogs, personal pizzas, salads, soup and coffee.
A nightclub called 421 will replace Hoosier's Lounge. It will have live entertainment on weekends and some weeknights. It's designed much differently from Hoosier's Lounge – performers will be on a stage built behind the bar and servers.
Tropicana will take on more of a nightclub feel in the evenings, with 421 being a focal point, Chaszar said. The club's name is derived from its address, 421 NW Riverside Drive.
What will happen the riverboat?
Tropicana has a contract with an entity that is buying the vessel. Casino officials said they cannot reveal more details yet due to a confidentiality agreement with the purchasing entity.
News of the riverboat's next destination, though, apparently will not be under wraps long.
Tropicana Evansville Director of Marketing Stacey McNeill told the Indiana Gaming Commission during its recent board meeting in Evansville that the riverboat's sale is likely to close on Oct. 30, "and it will actually depart the same day."
Is the LST 325 still moving to the riverboat dock?
That is still the plan of everyone involved. Tropicana Evansville has contributed $1 million toward the LST's relocation. But the move is still a few months away, perhaps even a year.
"We've still got a ways to go," said Chris Donahue, an LST 325 board member and the point person on dealings with the city and casino. "We have to have a building built (for the LST offices and gift shop)."
Donahue said vacant space in the pavilion apparently is not a possibility for the LST's use, because Tropicana wishes to keep it.
Also, the dock at Tropicana must be modified to accommodate the LST. Morley, an Evansville engineering firm, is involved in talks between the LST, Tropicana and the city.
"There's more engineering to it than people would suspect," Donahue said.
Although moving the LST will take some time, all parties involved still want it to happen, Donahue said. He noted Tropicana's financial commitment.
"I want to commend them big-time for that," Donahue said. "You always want to go where you're wanted."
What are future plans for The District?
Ri Ra remains at The District and is undergoing a renovation. Chaszar said there are no plans currently for the space that most recently was a Mexican grill and Boogie Nights dance club.
Casino officials said they have received recent interest in the property.

Sure, those shiny iPhone cases containing fancy liquid and glitter look great — but they can also leave you with severe chemical burns and skin irritations, according to a company that makes them.
MixBin Electronics recalled 263,000 of these cases on Tuesday following reports of users being injured after they broke open and began leaking.
To date, there have been at least 24 people around the world — including 19 in the US — who have suffered burns or skin irritation as a result of being exposed to the mystery liquid.
"One consumer reported permanent scarring from a chemical burn and another consumer reported chemical burns and swelling to her leg, face, neck, chest, upper body and hands," the US Consumer Product Safety Commission stated in a report.
The MixBin recall ultimately pertains to all liquid glitter mobile phone cases for iPhone 6, 6s and 7.
They were sold online and at Henri Bendel, MixBin, Nordstrom Rack, Tory Burch and Victoria's Secret stores nationwide from October 2015 through June 2017 for between $15 and $65.
"Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled cases and contact MixBin Electronics for a full refund," the CPSC report said.
While MixBin has refused to reveal what the phone case liquid actually is, a description on Amazon describes it as "safe food grade snow globe liquid."
It is unclear if any other phone case companies use the same material.

Alejandro Gómez Palomo unveiled his Spring/Summer 2018 collection for Palomo Spain at Mona Bismarck American Center during Paris Fashion Week before our FUCKING YOUNG! party.
For this season, the fashion designer has decided to show a more relaxed, informal style inspired by his homeland ́s most representative aesthetics. The brand has developed a new set of garments that suggests a classic but accesible couture for the streets. In what we can describe as a prêt à porter exercise, Alejandro has opened his world to a new sector of the public that was demanding a range of more handy pieces that we would be able to see everyday in the streets. This demand has been responded using easier and becoming patterns that are combined with some of the favorite fabrics of the house. Chantilly lace, used for both dresses and suits, brand ́s favorites items, the satin gowns, lots of sequins and of course the already classic pinstriped suits, a revisited version of the flamenco outfits.
For his public to understand the context of the collection, Alejandro has provided clear references to Spain, using the cordoban hats and a big number of flamenco boots and golden jewelry, making a nod to gipsy culture in the lands of Andalucía.

|Welcome to our Catholic Religious Statues page. We offer both indoor and outdoor statues of many popular subjects, including Jesus, the Virgin
Mary, St. Joseph, St. Michael, St. Francis and more. Most of the statues we offer at this time are made of wonderful white alabaster and are
imported from Italy. Italian craftsmen have mined and worked alabaster and marble for centuries, and their skill and style is legendary. Due to the
importance the Italian peninsula has played in our Catholic faith, the historic patronage of artists there and the availability of materials for making
statues, many great religious masterpieces have been produced. These pieces were valued by the early church for their ability to illustrate and
remind people of their faith in a time when few could read the Gospel for themselves. Please browse our pages, and consider adding one of these
spiritual pieces to your home.
