Why was the Archbishop of Canterbury, a Christian man, in pagan garb??
On the 9th November 2012, Justin Welby was announced as the 105th Archbishop of the See of Canterbury. He officially became Archbishop on 4 February 2013, succeeding Dr Rowan Williams who retired at the end of December 2012. The new Archbishop was enthroned at Canterbury Cathedral on 21st March 2013. Of course in Astrological terms the 21st March is the Spring Equinox falling at 0 degrees Aries or 0 degrees of a cardinal sign which is known as the Aries point. The Aries point is an extremely powerful point where the energy urges to be pushed forward. There are four cardinal points that hold extreme importance which include the 21st March Spring equinox, 21st June Summer solstice, 21st September Autumn equinox, and 21st December Winter Solstice. Individuals who are born on the cardinal points of the zodiac tend to be thrust into the limelight in some shape or form for either good or bad. For example Edward Snowden was born on the Summer solstice, 21 June 1983. He is one of the more famous whistleblowers of our time. Sure there have been other whistleblowers who have blown the lid on government spying but they were not born on an Aries point! Hence the choosing of this date to enthrone the Archbishop was not all that surprising once you knew the detail. What was surprising was the robes he wore. The triquetra, three-pointed triangle, is an extremely powerful symbol in paganism and witchcraft. When invoking an entity the triangle of manifestation is called upon. Think of the television show Charmed, and the motto of the power of three. By chanting the power of three the sisters were able to corner a demon and vanquish it. This symbol has long been in use by pagans for many a century and is commonly found in Celtic art. Surprisingly, it has also been shared by Christians and is also known as a trinity knot. In essence it symbolises the divine feminine energy. The threefold nature of the Goddess is represented as maiden, mother, and elder. In Christian circles this has been changed to the father, son, and holy spirit.The triquetra traditionally is a symbol of female empowerment and it's roots can be found in the vesica piscis, a shape of two intersecting circles that represent the womb. This is an ancient representation of divine sacred geometry which can be traced to ancient Egypt.
The blending of pagan symbolism amongst Christian orthodoxy should not be surprising. Although most people are not aware Christianity is based on Astro-theology, why else would the enthroning of the Archbishop take place on such an important date astrologically? The arrogance, however, of the flaunting of such concepts out in the open is the sign of the times. The origin of truth and what we understand to be real is being revealed for all to see.
Royal baby signals the end of an era with change on the horizon for the Royal family
I'm actually not a Royal lover or Royalist by any means. I do not condone the belief that a group of people have the right to be superior and above the average man. Nor pay their fair share of taxes. It strikes me odd that in the 21st Century people are so drawn to the Royal family regardless of the dark and dirty stories that have surfaced over the years. But the purpose of this post is not to hail proudly the announcement of the new Royal baby like many others, but to reveal that Will and Kate's baby boy will challenge the status quo when he becomes a mature man. He will have the challenge of an eagerly changing world and the demise of the British Royal family will be on the cards. The full moon he is born under suggests great drama and revealing for the Royal family as the Moon in Capricorn directly corresponds to Britain – as it is a Capricorn nation. As I write this post thunder and lightning are lighting up and booming across the night's sky. I can't remember the last time I saw lightening in this country so bright and powerful as the energies are very volatile and foreboding. So let's have a look astrologically to see what amazing potentials await this young soul or 'old soul.'
The young Prince was born on Monday 22 July, 2013 at 4.24pm BST in London, England. He was born during the grand water trine of 2013 involving Saturn at 4 Scorpio, Neptune at 4 Pisces and Jupiter at 5 Cancer. Initially this grand trine is a very positive energy and extremely dreamy and inspirational. Individuals who are born under a grand trine have historically been seen as extremely lucky as a trine is generally viewed as a positive aspect. So combine three trines and you are very lucky indeed. At least this is the conventional wisdom. But sometimes having it too good can make you complacent and lazy. So although you are born with the potential of great luck and talent will you have the desire and conviction to go for your dreams? This is the problem with a grand trine. It promises much but makes you rather defensive lacking a fighting spirit to go for what you want. Prince Charles is another Royal who was born with a grand trine. His trine is in earth and the question we always ask of Charles is will he be King? He seems rather complacent to challenge his mother and make a bid for the throne. Rather, he is happy to live in his own world with the 'earthly' benefits it brings him leaving mummy to take care of business.
The Royal baby like his grandmother Princess Diana and father Prince William is a Sun sign Cancer. He is born with his sun at 29 degrees Cancer. Signs and elements run through families so it is no accident that he is also born a Cancer. For example, my father was a Sun sign Sagittarius. I was born with my Moon and Ascendant in Sagittarius. The young Prince has his sun at 29 Cancer which is known as the millionaires degree and of course he will be rich. However, the 29th degree of any sign comes with many complications. If a natal planet is found at 29 degrees of any sign, also known as the Anaretic degree, there can be some real issues with decision-making in that part of the personality represented by the energies of the planet. The native may evaluate and re-evaluate situations before making a move one day, and the next day, jump into the action without listening to himself or herself! The Royal baby will have to overcome great restlessness in his ego and a sense of urgency will plague him during his life. He will be motivated to act not necessarily from reason but from impulse. This may be a good thing if he is going to challenge the establishment – but a bad thing if he uses his potential to keep tradition in place.
Many children currently born from 2010-2015 will have the Pluto square Uranus aspect in their charts. This aspect holds the seeds for great turmoil and revolutionary spirit amongst the population and when these children become adults in 20 to 30 years from now, and when this aspect is triggered, many individuals including the young prince will be ignited to rise up and make sweeping changes in various areas of society. It is great to see that this young royal will be part of the generation that will truly bring change and plant the seeds for a new world. I have no doubts that Diana is smiling from afar as she disagreed with the Royal family on so many issues and disapproved of their cold and calculating manner.
We are currently living through the Pluto in Capricorn years which is eroding established structures and systems but when Pluto moves into Aquarius in 2024 new ways of living, revoultions in technology, governing, and thinking will finally be able to gain traction in our world. The path will be difficult as there will be many who will resist this change, but change is definitely on the horizon.
The young prince in his astrological chart shows he will have much to say about the establishment and the 'old ways'. Pluto opposes his Mercury and squares his Uranus. He will be an extremely deep and rebellious thinker as Mercury is in his 8th house, the house of Scorpio. He will have a secretive nature and will not openly reveal himself during his younger years. In addition, he also has an opposition of Pluto to Mars and Jupiter that sit tightly conjunct. His Jupiter is also trine Neptune and he will embrace deep spiritual values in his lifetime after having a great epiphany. Spiritual values does not mean that he will be drawn to conventional religion but he will question the meaning of life in a deep way probably experimenting with taboo concepts and ways of thinking. An event around the age of 16 when his Solar arc Neptune conjuncts his IC will greatly change his outlook on life making him question his belief systems setting him on a deep path of exploration. He will be very charismatic and the public will be drawn to him but with Pluto in Capricorn opposing his Mars in Cancer in his 8th house, the house of Scorpio, he has the potential to be the victim of great bullying by the establishment and those responsible for his grooming. Most likely he will be told to tow the line and keep quiet. But with his Mercury in Cancer square Uranus in Aries he's going to have a hard time keeping his opinions to himself as he matures. His opinions will also be very much outside of what has been traditionally accepted. He will also find himself attracted to foreign and/or ethnic women with his Venus in the 9th house which could be an issue for the Royals. Like Diana he will be a maverick with differing opinions from the 'established' norm which can cause him problems.
I do not like seeing the opposition of Pluto to his Mars in his chart. Pluto at odds with Mars creates great tension and a victim or victimiser scenario unfolds. Victims of child abuse often have a harsh aspect between Pluto (sex) and Mars (aggression). The revealing in recent years of ritual abuse in rich families has surfaced and been brought to our attention as this horrid practice is common among aristocratic families. A lack of love and attention purposely withdrawn as well as sexual abuse creates a cold and unfeeling personality. This behaviour is what creates the psychopath who is devoid of sensitivity and is calculating. Diana broke the mould with Will and Harry being present as much as she could in their lives giving them cuddles and affection when she herself did not get this as a child. However, this was abruptly ended with her early death when the two of them were were in adolescence years. However, Kate does not have Diana's rebellious nature and will most likely stay silent and in her place rather than create any waves in the family. Hence, with his Moon in Capricorn and Sun square Saturn the young prince will experience his parents as reserved and austere with the family home being quite structured with little time for fun. The imposition of duty will weigh heavily on his young shoulders and he will find his home life to be quite sobering lacking happiness.
But the young royal will be no easy pushover. Although he does have a sensitive nature with his Sun in Cancer and plenty of water energy in his chart, he will not shrink into a corner and take his punishment lightly forever. He has his Ascendant in the steely sign of Scorpio. He will be your worst enemy or greatest champion of human rights. Rafael Nadal is a great example of someone with a Scorpio Ascendant. In childhood he recalls how he was mentally abused by his Uncle Toni, who still coaches him today. His Uncle Toni often called him a mama's boy and treated him harshly. Nadal has used the challenges of childhood to become one of the greatest fighters the world of tennis has ever seen. His resilience is astounding. This is this the positive side of a Scorpio ascendant. Many people will experience a difficult childhood when born with a Scorpio ascendant and have to overcome their innermost fears,obsessive need to control and intense nature which can easily get out of balance and direct these negative characteristics into a positive outlet because if not, they can easily self-destruct.
The young royal shows great potential who will be embraced by the public with his Sun making a harmonious trine to his Ascendant. Although he will be raised to keep the establishment in place with his Moon in Capricorn as he matures he will have a hard time keeping his rebellious opinions to himself with his Sun opposing his Moon. He may walk the walk and look the part but underneath his reserved appearance will hide a complex and secretive personality eventually needing space to grow and heal as suggested by his Sun sesiquadrate Chiron, the wounded healer. His water grand trine and Sun in Cancer in the 8th house will make him deeply sensitive and understanding and although in childhood he may be reticent to voice his opinion as he grows into an adult life will force him to take a stand. I see great change coming for the royal family with Uranus in his fourth house squaring Mars the ruler of his Ascendant in Scorpio. As well as Pluto in Capricorn, the modern ruler of his ascendant, squaring his Uranus in the fourth house. His homelife, inner psyche and landscape of his mind will experience a great awakening when these aspects are triggered. He will most likely take the throne later in life around the age of 50 when his solar arc sun reaches his Midheaven. However, the importance of the Royal family by this time will definitely be in question as it will be reformed and reshaped in years to come.
It looks like Diana might get her wish after all!
Remembering Aaron Swartz and never forgetting his legacy
Let's keep Aaron Swartz's memory alive. Why he died should never be forgotten.
This article was originally published at http://www.eff.org written by Cindy Cohn and Trevor Timm on the 14th May 2013
Disappointing Unsealing Decision in Aaron Swartz Case
The public lost another battle in the U.S. v. Aaron Swartz case, this one over transparency. On May 13, 2013, the U.S. District Court judge handling the prosecution sided with the government, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and JSTOR and refused to make public any information in the case that any of these three entities wished to keep under seal. The ruling effectively grants the Department of Justice, MIT and JSTOR a veto over what the public gets to know about the investigation.
The decision stems from the government's controversial prosecution of Aaron Swartz, the brilliant activist and Internet pioneer, who died in January. The government brought a myriad of charges against Swartz, most notably under the draconian Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA). After his tragic death, there were widespread calls for an investigation into prosecutorial misconduct and reform of the CFAA, and in response, Swartz's lawyers had asked the court to unseal the vast majority of evidence in the case since all charges have been dismissed for months.
The specific information at issue is identifying information for JSTOR, MIT and certain law enforcement personnel, along with any information "identifying and sentitive network information." As Swartz's attorneys have noted, the proposed redactions includes job titles and other information needed to understand who was talking to whom in the voluminous email traffic, and it's impossible to follow what happened in the course of the prosecution without it. This information is vital in understanding how involved MIT was in the prosecution and at what level in the institution, when and how JSTOR was involved and whether the Justice Department's repeated public assertions that everything in the prosecution proceeded normally were accurate.
The Court gave short shrift to the great public interest here, dismissing it as significantly less important than the vague and largely unspecified "incidents of harassment and retaliation" claimed by the government, MIT and JSTOR. The judge used these alleged incidents as justification for removing nearly all identifying information of those involved—regardless of how likely they were to be actual targets for retaliation. It is difficult to believe that this case posed a bigger threat of retaliation than other federal cases involving violent offenses or organized crime, such that broad witness secrecy is required even after the case has ended.
Similarly, it seems unlikely that in a prosecution say, for a burglary, the victim would be able to prevent public access to any facts about how the incident occurred (was a crowbar used? a fake key?). Yet, here the court allowed MIT and JSTOR to prevent any information from being released about the broad term "sensitive network information."
The big losers in this case are the countless number of Americans of who have raised legitimate and serious concerns about the prosecution of Aaron Swartz and who have urged Congress to reform the CFAA. With the facts and identities locked away, and only selectively revealed to Congress by the three entities most interested in defending the prosecution, how can those of us pushing for reform lawmakers determine what changes are needed? How can we respond to the government's repeated claims that nothing went awry here? The result of this decision excuses accountability by denying the public access to the facts it needs to engage in the democratic process and fix the law.
The Court did note that if Congress wishes to know more, it can ask JSTOR, MIT or the government "on a case by case basis." We hope that members of Congress, who just received a secret briefing from the DOJ, will take the court up on this offer and, to the extent they are thwarted, go back to the court for further relief.
Google Glass – why it's our new future
"In case of Revolution Wear Glass" It's safe to say that Google have a very direct marketing agenda when you read this strapline. Yet, I have to admit to you that I have been astounded by my own remarkable interest in the new arrival of the technological wizardry known as Google glass. Before you read on please accept that I have no profitable interest or agreement with Google. I personally despise what Google have become as they have long used their power to snoop on individuals and release private information to Corporate spies. So I am by no means a fan of what they stand for. But my interest in Google glass is not in relation to Google in particular because although Google are trying to be the pioneers in this new 'glass-tech gadgetry' it doesn't mean they will be the leaders of the pack once this technology takes off in a big way in a few years time.
As we move beyond the 2012 marker and into a new beginning the world of secrets and secrecy is breaking down. Whether we believe in the Mayan calendrical date of 21 December 2012 or not we can all agree that our world is rapidly shifting and changing in ways unimaginable to our psyche of even five years ago. Power structures that once had a great hold on the collective consciousness are in fear of being exposed and discovered. The average person nowadays has heard of the term 'the illuminati', and although they may not have any idea about what this term actually means they have by association been exposed to salacious ideas of a world being run by a powerful elite. Of course for those of us who have long known about these things it is refreshing to see others waking up to this new world that has always been in front of our eyes, but for many reasons has not been easily knowable.
Whether we want to believe it or not the world of 'No more secrets' is before us. Yes, it is true that we are currently living in a police state and that there is a race on for your mind and soul. The elite have been running the show for a long time and have, in current years, revved up their dominance and desire to control our every move we make now more than ever. This is where Google glass becomes interesting. For the greedy elite they are hoping the innovation of this technology will be used by people to tune out and become mind controlled robots. I'm sure a certain section of the public will do just this in the early years, but I see Google glass becoming a way of life in the future and the initial plans to use this technological innovation in a negative way will back-fire.
In these current years of austerity the elite are in a great position of power to rob us of our savings, pensions, salaries and homes. We can pinpoint astrologically that these grievous times, we are living in, are the symptomatic result of Pluto in Capricorn. Capricorn rules structures, finance, economies and governance and with Pluto in Capricorn, this energy is expressed as austere, strict and controlling, hence we get the term the years of 'austerity.' The energy of Pluto loves to shake things up. It demands ruthless change, and will reveal the dark and dirty aspects of our world whether we like it or not. Since Pluto's arrival in the sign of Capricorn in 2008 we have seen scandal after scandal. The financial system and structures that rule our world have been eroding and fighting for their survival. In the UK we have grappled with the misuse of public money by way of dodgy expenses used by our elected officials. We have heard the dark and twisted reality of phone tapping by News of the World, to get a 'story' at any expense. News of the World is of course owned by Rupert Murdoch, a powerful man who in the past has never had to answer to the public for his deeds, but we saw, if only briefly, his private and corrupt world being questioned and probed. And of course let us not forget the Jimmy Savile scandal and the issue of a large and well-connected pedophile ring that has brought well-known British celebrities front and centre as we learn about their sexual exploits with underage children. There has been no short supply of intrigue over the last six years since Pluto's entry into Capricorn and as we wade through these tough years through to 2024 we will see a lot more.
In 2024 Pluto will move out of Capricorn and into Aquarius. The austerity years will become a beacon of the past and new themes of revolution and defiance, consciousness for the greater good, amazing technological leaps and becoming unified for a common purpose will move to the forefront. After being battered and bruised during the years of austerity and witnessing the collapse of first world economies, we will finally be ready for real change leaving the old world truly in the past. This is why I see great things for Google glass style objects in the coming future and I don't believe people will tune out and become mindless robots if they choose to use them. Yes, the technology will be used to spy on us, there is no doubt about that. But we are now in the early years of the Age of Aquarius, and our online culture of sharing every detail of our personal lives with each other via Facebook, Twitter and other social media in general is only the beginning of the 'No more secrets culture', that is coming.
The establishment is not responsible for the discovery of social media technology, although with their help these big-wigs have financed and helped to spread the seeds. The brilliant ideas of social media have come from those born in the 80s and early 90s who are the Adam Swartz's of our world. I have no doubt that there are more of these personalities to come in the future and they will revolutionise the way we communicate and share information. For their vision of the future is for all information about everything to be readily available at the touch of a fingertip. Those born in the 80s and beyond strongly believe information should be free and accessible to everyone everywhere whilst truly enjoying living their lives online and connected. These concepts can be a bit scary for those of us born in the 70s and earlier, for the world we were born into was all about keeping secrets and playing a power game of dominance and control. All one has to do is look at the years of the Cold War to understand this point further. Yet, I do believe that just as everybody is now walking around with a tablet and mobile phone, we will all, in about 10 years time, if not sooner, be styling Google type glasses or contact lenses. It doesn't mean that you have to cop-out and tune out and live in a fairy tale world of virtual reality which I'm sure will become a feature of this technology. Conversely, the internet is a great tool for sharing ideas, creativity and thoughts. Hopefully in about ten years, when this technology has fully taken flight a reputable company with vision for the future that has our best privacy interests at heart will become the market leaders. Nevertheless, google glass technology is here to stay.

Can we prove the concept of soulmates
The search for the 'one' – that person who is there to love us, nurture us and spend our human existence with has never been stronger than it is today. As we move past 2012 and into the coming years a large number of people are awakening to their true potential. For some, old relationships are no longer serving the intent they once had. And for others a new feeling of purpose is revealing itself transcending the relationship and allowing the couple to grow together in new and innovative ways. What is important to note here is that one relationship is no more correct than the other as both serve as a key objective to help us traverse through our journey of life. This is where the world of the past has gone wrong. If a couple decides to end their time together it is seen as a failure and an insult to the notion of marriage. But when we allow ourselves to look outside of this box if a relationship ends it is purely the fulfilment of a journey and it is time to begin anew. Astrology has a lot to say about Soulmates and yes we can empirically prove that they exist. They can be in the form of lovers, best friends, business associates and family members. Their lives become very much intertwined in our own and they bring a message with the relationship. A message we learn to uncover during the time we spend together whether that is for 5 years or 40 or a lifetime.
Most people want to know about love, when is it coming, or is what they have the real thing. A love relationship with a Soulmate is very specific and there are distinct behavioural patterns and rules that are repeated which can be verified by a variety of case studies. Astrology works best when we are able to quantify it, observe how it operates to help us make judgements about how the universe operates. For a love relationship there are important placements to note that help us to distinguish a Soul mate connection from a simple love affair. Soul Mate relationships will have all of the following aspects noted below within the synastry in varying combinations. So here are a few points to keep in mind.
Angle contact
The angles of the birth chart are extremely sensitive and nothing in our lives happens without an angle of our chart or our Sun and Moon being activated. A person's birth date, time and location will derive the angles of the chart which include the Ascendant ASC, Descendant DC, Midheaven MC, and Immum Coeli IC. If a time is not fully known chart rectification can help to find the correct time of birth. Look for planets to make tight aspects to the angles of the chart. Many astrologers like to keep orbs tight for a variety of reasons. But an orb of no more than 6 degrees can be considered. The closer an object is to the angle of our chart the more intensely we will feel it. The more precise connections someone shares to the angles of our chart the greater the chance we have something special.
Sun-Moon Midpoint
I cannot stress just how important the Sun-Moon midpoint is. When I met my husband both of our Sun-Moon midpoints were strongly activated by our individually progressed Venus. On the day we married both of our Sun-Moon midpoints were activated by a transiting planet, for myself the transiting north node, for my husband Saturn. The Sun-Moon midpoint is a highly sensitive area of our chart. It blends the energies and qualities of the Sun and the Moon, the feminine and the masculine, the husband and the wife. When we meet a Soulmate the Sun-Moon midpoint is always activated as it represents a commitment to be fulfilled, one that involves nurture and love. It allows the inner being of ourselves to be illuminated and in a love relationship
is highly significant. Both the Near and far Midpoint are equally valid and should be used as well. You'll find one point of the Sun-Moon midpoint axis being activated when we meet a significant love interest, as well as when we marry, and also when the relationship is ending.
Lunar Nodes
The North Node and South Node shows our direction in life. It represents where we have been, where we are going, and what we should be doing with our lives. When one of our Lunar nodes connects with a love interests planet it combines the natal promise of our charts with a sense of direction and purpose for the future. South Node connections denote a past life together. Whereas North Node connections point to the work to be done in this lifetime and the future. Nodal connections are extremely binding. Look for the Nodes of a chart making a dynamic aspect such as a conjunction, inconjunct, square, opposition, semi-square, or sesiquadrate to the angle of another's chart. These are expressive connections and show there is work to do together. My first love and I shared a Mars/South Node connection and his North Node was conjunct to the ruler of my Ascendant. He was my first lover but we didn't end up together. In this case the South Node/Mars (passion) conjunction allowed us to re-live a love relationship that set us on a path towards our future. In contrast, my husband and I share a North Node/Descendant conjunction with his Ascendant conjunct my South Node. Most definitely I have known him in a past life as his Ascendant represents the physical body. Sometimes Astrology is simply so literal!
Sun-Venus and Mars-Venus Midpoint
Most Synastry compatibility charts will give you a highlight of your planets and the relationship they share with a love interest. Compatibility charts can be misleading and fall into what Astrologers call 'Cookbook' interpretations. The truth is Synastry is far more complicated than two people sharing a Sun-Moon conjunction, or a Venus-Moon trine. These aspects feel awfully good but what if my Sun is squared by Uranus? That would mean that your Moon also squares my Uranus. Uranus is a disruptive energy and it isn't pleasant to have Uranus squaring the Moon in a Synastry chart if you are looking for commitment. Many times it is apparent that a couple can have great physical attraction but they do not share any of the typical attraction aspects in their Synastry chart. This is where using Midpoints is truly beneficial. Midpoints pack a heavy punch and show concentrated energy. If there is to be attraction between two people these two midpoints will definitely be activated. Again look for the more dynamic aspects with no more than a 3 degree orb although even softer aspects such as the trine can be considered if the orb is tight.
The Vertex
The vertex also known as 'destiny's gate' is a particular angle in the chart that is highly sensitive. Soulmate couples will often have the Vertex activated at times when they meet as well as having natal planets making key aspects to the vertex. Never overlook the vertex. It can bring pertinent information about a relationship especially when you look at the first meeting chart. Again the rule is to keep the orbs tight when using the vertex but I have found that wide orbs can be just as powerful. The most striking and binding aspects involve the angle of one chart to the vertex of the other.
So these are just a few steps to consider when judging the potential of a Soulmate connection. There are other aspects that are important too, but hey one cannot be too greedy. Certainly, if you can tick all of the boxes described above then you are on your way to having quite a connection with someone.

Interview with Lavandar from starseedhotline.com
Hi guys,
I'll be uploading a new post soon. 2011 is just flying by is it me or have you noticed the quickening that has been taking place? Time is certainly changing.
In the meantime, here's a great interview I conducted with Lavandar earlier this week. We discussed Galactic astrology and her amazing story of the star markings in the astrological chart. Have you heard of the term 'starseed' well she coined the term.

Until next time.
Bye for now.
The coming of Niburu fact or fiction?
Well, we're coming into the crunch time and everybody who has an idea about what 2012 and beyond will bring is putting their two pence into the pot. As always it's up to you to follow your intuition and allow your guidance to point you in the right direction. For me, I've been following the science which has been flagging up some very hard to swallow truths. Scientists have been coming together more and more to disown the global warming theory. Yes, we are not helping the planet by using dead resources such as oil, or damaging energy sources such as nuclear power but the geological record time and time again has proven that we go through warming cycles within our climate and greenhouse gases were not the cause in the past. What the scientists won't tell you is the real reason for the extreme weather conditions we are currently experiencing, because to tell you the cause they have to introduce a few concepts to you that will change your whole belief system.
There is enough data that has been collated by NASA and others to determine that it is not just our planet that is heating up it is the whole solar system, and also our galaxy. I have written about this in previous posts so you might want to check out a few of them if you would like further information. What the scientists have been noticing that they are afraid to tell us is that the sun is doing very strange things, and it is the main cause for the increase in vibration and the heating up of our solar system. The why in this instance is the hard fact to swallow.
We are now entering into a volatile solar flare cycle and it has already begun. Scientists have said that they are expecting this cycle to reach its maximum in 2012 and 2013. They are very concerned of the effects it will have on our society as we are literally a victim of our modernisation. Solar flares emit electromagnetic energy and they can have damaging effects on us and also on our modern gadgets. Many of the ascension symptoms we have been experiencing is due to the rise of electromagnetic energy from the solar flares from the sun. I feel if you are experiencing ascension symptoms then that is good, because your body is trying to find a way to assimilate the energy into your body. Which means you will be physically able to handle the rise in electromagnetic radiation which is a symptom of the solar flares and remain here on this planet safely. Unfortunately, our modern equipment such as cars, computers, atm machines, power grids cannot just update themselves and so becomes very vulnerable to the sun's solar flares.
In addition to the solar flares the strange anomalies in the sun are also being caused by a body that is entering into our solar system. This body seems to orbit our sun every 3,600 years and is due to make an appearance around 2013 or 2014. In 1983 NASA sent a satellite to investigate the theory of a missing planet that orbits outside of our solar system. It is believed that they found the evidence they were looking for and noted that there was something mysterious out there. How they originally knew about Planet X comes from our ancient past and the Sumerians. The Sumerians knew about this missing planet and have recorded its location in the famous picture above. They called it Nibiru. If you want to learn more about Niburu or planet X, and also more about NASA's research then please follow the link I have provided which gives an array of information presented by Jason Bartell.
I've recently come across further information about the passing of Nibiru which I believe is important to know. Major Ed Dames is an experienced remote viewer and worked on classified projects for the American government for many years. His track record of correct hits is phenomenal and includes the correct prediction of the Japanese earthquake which hit on March 11, 2011 and a serious event involving one of its reactors back in 2003 on Japanese television. I think it's safe to say that he knows what he is doing. He is very sure that a body, Nibiru or Planet X, is on a trajectory course into our solar system and as it aligns with our sun it will cause a series of killer solar flares, which he calls the killshot. He offers a free DVD, you only have to pay for the post. I would highly recommend you get a copy. He has often appeared on Coast to Coast AM and you can hear his past interviews there as well.
I offer all of this information to you for you to research for yourselves. Whatever is coming our way it is better to be prepared than be in ignorance. There is no need to be in fear, so stay positive. If we want to see this new world begin well we have to be willing to go with the good and the bad. We know that earthquakes and volcanoes or HAARP related events will continue to grow in intensity over the next few years so we cannot sit innocently and say that everything will be fine. Clearly, there are many people who will be losing their lives. We just need to use our common sense. If we live by the coast or close to a fault line be prepared to move quickly and listen to your guidance. You will get very few warnings from the media.
Here are some interesting videos you should see:

No safe place only safe DNA
Hello everyone. So sorry for the short respite. I've been completely rushed off of my feet since the beginning of the year and it has taken me a while to catch up with myself.
So, we've finally made it to 2011. This is going to be an action packed year so I'll warn you now. Not only on the public stage but also in our own private lives. If you've been trying to move forward with new projects but haven't been getting anywhere then this year is the year. Many of us have been focused on 2012 as being the true start of the shift but from all accounts and resources I've listened to the new will be very obvious by the Autumn of 2011. What that looks like and what will transpire is still to be confirmed but I think it is safe to say that only the very stubborn and completely unevolved will not notice that their world is changing rapidly.
And let's just talk about the change in the world. The events in Egypt are absolutely phenemonal. At this point in time Mubarak is still trying to cling on to his power although he has divulged in principle his powers and duties to his Deputy. If the Egyptians keep hanging on and doing what they have been they will overcome this and win the battle, and when they do the spirit of revolution will go viral. I want to call 2011 the' year of revolutions' because it will be very contagious.
We are in some great times and this is the time so many of us have fought so hard to be here for. There is nothing to be afraid of as so many of us we will be kept safe during this changing landscape. I want to use an expression Jelaila Starr has used, 'There is no safe place only safe DNA.' I know many people have a hard time with all of the information she puts forward about Nibiru but I definitely resonate with her theory that if you have been doing the necessary clearing work and facing your fears over these last few gruelling years you will not need to experience pain and confusion when the shit hits the fan. We bring to us the people and experiences we need to help wake us up. So many of us have already seen the darker days and will not need these experiences in future. Instead, we will become the beacons of light, the lighthouse in the middle of chaos to help inform others as to what is going on as I do believe we will all just wake up one day and realise our whole world has completely changed.
So, all of those dark times we have experienced over the last few years. The nasty characters that have tried to hurt us, the lost opportunities we have had to face as our lives fall apart, the bad health, the financial ruin, the tears and pain of loss its all been to help us clear our emotional baggage. So, if you have done the work and are doing the work this is now our time to start to live again and be safe while the world around us goes through its own emotional clearing stage.
I have included Jelaila Starr's video which talks about this concept. It is very interesting and worth a look.
Emotional clearing provides safety
Until next time. Valentine.

GELFAND'S WORLD--We've been talking a lot about earthquake awareness of late, but there's one more topic that bears mentioning. It will seem science-fictional at first, but there's serious, real-world significance to it.
The topic is Planetary Defense and refers to the possibility of finding and then moving an asteroid (see photo above) that would otherwise collide with the earth and do momentous damage. At its worst, such a collision would be akin to the dinosaur killer of 66 million years ago, only we would be the dinosaurs. A smaller body such as the one which hit Tunguska in Siberia 111 years ago would wipe out close to a thousand square miles, including whatever and whoever happens to be living in that area.
There is something that can be done to prevent such an occurrence. Let's start with a development in space exploration that bears on this question.
A striking new step in planetary defense (and science) has been accomplished, even if most people aren't aware of the fact. A few months ago, an American spacecraft arrived at the asteroid known as Bennu. The spacecraft (with the name OSIRIS-REx) was then maneuvered so as to orbit around the asteroid. This is a great feat, particularly when you think about how far we've had to come since the original moon race, now about to celebrate its 50th anniversary on July 20. Why this latest accomplishment is so significant involves the fact that a collision between earth and one of the asteroids could be the end of much life on earth, just as it was some 66 million years ago. We're here because our remote ancestors (some of them, anyway) survived, while the dinosaurs didn't. By the way, although Bennu is not huge as asteroids go, it has a mass in excess of 150 billion pounds. If it were to strike the earth at high velocity, it would do a lot of damage.
What is becoming evident is that we could defend ourselves against an asteroid impact, even though we cannot at present imagine a way to prevent a major earthquake. The asteroid strike would be far worse than The Big One, but with foresight and a modest degree of spending on technological development, we could potentially predict asteroid impacts -- accurately enough to take action -- and then prevent them from happening.
In the smaller cases, we're talking about a collision that would be capable of destroying one of our largest cities -- Denver or Tokyo or San Francisco. In the larger case, we're imagining a collision potentially capable of destroying much of earth's surface life. We would be the dinosaurs.
The good news is that such asteroid strikes are awfully rare, as we can infer from the fact that we are still here even if the dinosaurs are not. What makes this discussion timely is that human technology has reached the part-way point in being able to nudge an asteroid away from a collision course with us. It turns out that we probably wouldn't have to go a lot further in scientific and engineering development to be able to do the actual orbital nudging.
In this, the 50th anniversary year of the moon landing, we have a remarkable story to relive. But part of this story involves continuing our progress, a task that needs a few millions of dollars to continue the development of planetary defense.
On June 29, the 2019 Planetary defense and asteroid exploration (PDAE) mini conference was held in Rancho Palos Verdes. It featured a stellar cast of speakers (OK, so shoot me for the pun) who have day jobs at Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), the Aerospace Corporation, NASA, and other local centers of learning such as Caltech and UCSB. Over the course of the day, we received a comprehensive summary of how the dangers are discovered (and will be further elucidated), how we might think about reducing the dangers, and what advances in technology we would need to become fully capable planetary defenders.
First, a couple of highpoints: Dr Nahum Melamed of the Aerospace Corporation introduced the idea of planetary defense and asteroid exploration. For the moment, these terms are nearly synonymous, as we're still learning the ropes. But eventually, we will know enough and have the technical means to nudge an asteroid aside so that it won't collide with the earth. Taking up that proposal, Dr Paul Chodas from JPL spoke about a study (somewhat akin to a war game) in which space experts planned a mission to prevent an imaginary asteroid from hitting the earth 8 years from now.
It's useful to have an overall concept of what the asteroid belt is, and how it was formed. If you think of the solar system as beginning with a ball of gas and rocks and having a bit of a spin to it, you have the beginnings of understanding. As pebbles and rocks congealed under gravitational attraction to form planets, and as the sun formed out of light gases in the same way, we developed most of the solar system. But some of the rocks and debris did not quite make it to being a planet, and are still revolving around the sun, mostly out between Mars and Jupiter. Some of them are closer, and some have orbits that intersect our own orbit around the sun. These are the asteroids that are of concern and are referred to by space scientists as potential hazards.
Aside -- a single paragraph mini-summary that the math-phobic and astronomy-phobic can skip. As we all know, the earth and other planets orbit around the sun in paths that are pretty close to being circles. Technically, they are ellipses, which is a fancy word for taking a circle and stretching it along one direction. Such orbits can be described by the length of the stretched axis (it's called the major axis) and the length of the unstretched axis (called the minor axis), and finally by the directions that these axes point. Here's where it gets a little more complicated. Suppose an asteroid has an orbit that includes a long major axis (the long part of the ellipse) and that major axis overlaps our own earth's orbit at some point. That would be a serious hazard. But remember that the earth may be in a very different part of its own orbit at the moment that the asteroid intersects our orbit. Add one other fact to reach an understanding of the system. The asteroid and the earth usually take different amounts of time to traverse a single orbit. That means that the earth can catch up with the asteroid (or it can catch up with us) over a period of many orbits. Under the wrong circumstances, the earth and the dinosaur killer collide.
As an example of a smaller (non-dinosaur-killer) asteroid that gets closest to us every 6 years, there is Bennu, a top-shaped asteroid that is about as big around as the Empire State Building is tall. More about Bennu below, as it is the object of that great scientific step I mentioned above.
We know that there are lots of asteroids and that once in a great while, one of them might hit us. What's to be done?
The first thing is to remain calm, as this might not happen for hundreds, or even thousands of years. We are going to be hit with many tons of small meteorites every year, but the chances of an asteroid big enough to do significant damage is relatively slight on a year-by-year basis.
But it is a possibility, and the probability of a strike increases as the time frame gets larger.
During the day-long symposium, we saw video interviews with some asteroid researchers. The lesson they communicated was this: "Find them before they find us." This was not meant to be trite. Rather, it is part of a developing idea that goes something like this, and was the object of that planning scenario that Paul Chodas spoke about:
If we know in advance that an asteroid is likely to hit us after our next 8 earth orbits (meaning 8 of our years), then we can plan how to prevent this from happening. From our point of view, we have 8 years to do the following 3 things:
1) Get a more accurate fix on the precise orbit of the asteroid so that we can know whether or not it is going to hit us. If we find that it will miss us, we can relax. If not, we go on to step 2.
2) Send a spacecraft up to the asteroid to get a better look. This adds to the information we get in step 1, because it will give us a better understanding of exactly how big it is, something about what it is made of, and more accurate measurements of its precise orbit. That's what the spacecraft OSIRIS-REx is doing at Bennu right now.
3) At a calculated point in the asteroid's orbit, nudge it a bit by hitting it with a spacecraft or by exploding a nuclear device underneath it. It doesn't require a lot of additional velocity added to the asteroid to cause it to miss us on its next pass around the sun. In fact, the scientists presenting at the conference explained that it would only require a few centimeters per second change. In other words, changing its speed by one mile per hour would more than do the trick.
Fine tuning the plan
Interestingly, the U.S. congress long ago tasked NASA with locating at least 90 percent of the larger size asteroids. A few years after that, congress was convinced to enlarge the task so as to find 90 percent of all asteroids as large as 500 feet in diameter. It turns out that there are lots of asteroids (in the tens and hundreds of thousands) so this isn't the easiest project. But JPL and NASA and their associates are doing a pretty good job. They've got the orbits of most of the bigger asteroids mapped out already. Now they need to finish the job on the smaller ones.
How is this done? The answer is fairly simple. Telescopes on earth and in earth orbit look for the light reflected by space objects. An object that moves relative to the fixed stars is a potential asteroid. As few as 3 such sightings are enough to establish a rough estimate of the orbit. More sightings and better precision instruments allow the orbit to be determined more exactly.
The planetary defense people would like to have an orbiting space telescope that is designed to hunt asteroids. That's part of the few millions of dollars that I mentioned above.
How do you move an asteroid's orbit?
You thought I would never get to this question, didn't you? But the PDAE program included several discussions about how we might nudge that asteroid out of its path of destruction. Qicheng Zhang discussed "Directed Energy Methods for Planetary Defense." If I understand correctly, the idea is to get close enough to fire a powerful laser at the asteroid. Given enough intensity, this will heat one spot to incandescence, which will then spout out fast-moving gases which will be, in effect, like running a rocket motor strapped to the asteroid.
Two other methods were discussed. The first is simply to shoot a rocket into the asteroid. At the right velocity, the rocket will burrow into the asteroid and impart a change in momentum. Do this with enough mass and velocity (might require lots of such rockets) and you can achieve that few-centimeters-per-second change in velocity that is required to save the earth from destruction.
Building public awareness
I haven't seen a lot of blogs or newspaper articles on planetary defense. On the other hand, there have been movies and television shows about alien invasions and even a few about runaway comets or the odd asteroid. Most are unwatchable for the knowledgeable viewer.
Still, the use of visual media and the moving image (that's what the film scholars call a movie) are appropriate ways of getting the public's attention. Philip Groves is in the process of making a film on asteroid hunters that will be coming out in the near future. This column is a more humble attempt at the same thing. If you take away from this exercise the understanding that funding for the planetary defense program should continue, you've learned enough.
And for the presenters at the PDAE conference, thanks for taking the message to the public: Drs William Ailor, Davide Farnocchia, Madhu Thangavelu, Niraj Inamdar, Eric Mahr, and the above-mentioned Nahum Melamed and Paul chodas.
One more thing: Amateur volunteers in space exploration
You can apply your computer skills to the exploration of the asteroid Bennu and other celestial objects by going to CosmoQuest. Perhaps some of you may remember when volunteers were invited to provide time on their home computers to solve protein structures. This is analogous but involves using your own skills to map Bennu and other objects.
Back in the 1980s, people who were enthusiastic about the continuation of space exploration got together to talk and plan. There was a group called the L5 Society at that time, and it later merged into the group that is now known as the National Space Society. It is a nonprofit that pushes for awareness and funding for space exploration.

No, it isn't some newly discovered move from the Kamasutra. 'Ratting' your car may seem new, but people have been rolling in rusted-out cars with the "ain't care" attitude since the 1920s. Back then, American cars were the original Rat Rods, but the Euro scene has since taken that crown, with VWs being the undisputed champs. From classic Beetles to last year's Golf, they're rocking the rust.
There are even a few Porsches (how dare they!) out there that haven't had their tetanus shots. But running the rust doesn't mean their rides are junk. While some go classic rat and drive a scrap yard on wheels, others use the rat style for looks and pack some serious business under the panels. They're probably in better mechanical shape than your ride!
Got a free weekend, a six pack, some salt, and want to get in on some rat? Choose the area of your car you want to rust and start sanding away. You'll want to get past the paint and through the galvanizing. Pour a couple beers on the panel(s) of your choice and rub it in a bit. Then, head to the kitchen and pull out that big bag of salt you don't remember ever buying. Pour it on the beer panel in hefty amounts and really give it a scrubbing. Now sit back and give it a couple days. The more you wait, the rustier it gets! #pasmag

Your pointless idea of killing everbody is way out of line (and YOU talk about sensorship?)
There sure is a lot of bad people out there, including racists and terrorists and people who bug others just because they find it funny, but there are also good people. You just have to find them..
Well, when you post OBSCENE comments like "i think the whole planet should be exterminated"..I knew once I eventually got around to posting about politics/philosophy around here that I could get that response.
Against pointless mass hating comments like "i hope you all die"?I've often wondered if there's anything the Abes would censor on this board.
You just wished me dead. Along with 5 billion others.
You're one of those people who would shoot around at a school.

Hello everyone, does anyone know a good and safe address to download ringtones for my Nokia 6230 phone? I like the original Nokia ringtones. I just received my 6230 and I really need some 'normal' ringtones .... I was recommended by this friend to this address: https://ringtonesdownloads.info/nokia. But I need more.
PS: I know I can use mp3, but I really like normal ringtones more, and the so nicely composed 6230-tones are way to slow and make me fall asleep.

Vintage Advantage – NES Classic Edition
In case you haven't noticed, the original Nintendo is back in full swing. If you need more evidence, just hop over to eBay and try to find the gold Legend of Zelda cartridge for less than $20. Fanning those vintage flames is the highly anticipated NES Classic Edition, also known as "NES Mini", which combines that old school charm with new school economy.
NES Classic Edition flaunts the same overall profile of the original NES System with one major expection–it's drastically smaller. Like fit in the palm of your hand smaller. It's almost as if NES got so carried away with old pop culture trends that they found the shrinking machine from Honey I Shrunk the Kids and voila: NES Classic Edition. The new gaming system also features some upgrades like the ability to quick-save your progress and even the option of switching the visual template. Therefore if you want to add a little extra old to your "old school" you can change the presentation so that you're playing the game on some crappy pre-HD television screen. And if you truly want to resurrect the past we can track down some Hi-C Ecto Cooler for you to suck down while you blow aliens to smithereens in Contra–whatever helps create that bubble from which you may or may not emerge as a functional adult.
To help sweeten the deal the NES Classic Edition comes with 30 titles so you can relive the 80s all over again without having to pay those eBay premiums. Of course if you simply must have the original gold Zelda cartridge then by all means start bidding. Just don't try to cram that clunky old cartridge into the miniature slot of the new system because we have a feeling you'll be disappointed.

ALT Fuchu City, Hiroshima Prefecture 2010 - 2015
Since my teenage years I always had the dream of teaching English abroad. After university I fell into a job where I became comfortable and my dreams were put on the backburner. A trip to the rural depths of Shizuoka in June 2009 was to change this. Visiting a friend, a current JET participant at the time, I fell in love with Japan and had my eyes open to the existence of the JET Programme. Seeing my friend's life in this tiny rural town and being warmly welcomed by her adult education class at an irori bbq in a local samurai house in the mountains, I knew instantly that I wanted to become a part of the JET Programme. As I set off from Heathrow on 31st July 2010, I had goals of surviving a year or maybe two in the rural town I'd been placed in. At that time, I had no idea of the breadth of skills I'd learn, the experiences I'd have and the memories I'd make over five years.
As an Assistant Language Teacher in Fuchu City, Hiroshima prefecture, my job role was incredibly varied. My placement involved rotating schools each year, switching between three groups of schools. Over my five years I worked in a total of 4 Junior High Schools and 8 Elementary schools, also working in kindergartens over the summer holidays. My role as an Assistant Language Teacher would vary between schools and between teachers. I sometimes played a supporting role, sometimes a leading one with the Japanese Teacher of English/Home Room Teacher acting as support. I promoted English outside of the classroom by setting up a pen pal scheme with school children in England and hosting a Speech Contest. I brought a taste of the UK to my lessons by hosting pancake and scone making classes. I integrated well into the school community, joining in with the ping pong and koto clubs on occasions. Outside of school my official duties included writing a monthly article for the Town Hall news bulletin,
"I also played a star
role in an English
language DVD"
helping in cultural festivals throughout Fuchu and writing posts for the Fuchu City Board of Education Blog. I also played a star role in an English language DVD, made during one summer holiday as a resource for the English language programme at one of the elementary schools, ensuring my legacy as an ALT in Fuchu lives on for many years to come.
The JET Programme experience, however, is so much more than the official work duties. I arrived in Hiroshima a little apprehensive and nervous to be leaving the comfort of familiarity and throwing myself into the unknown, but received solid advice from the Hiroshima PA (Prefectural Advisor) within the first week which, I believe, helped create the fantastic experience I had. He told us that if we were struggling with homesickness or culture shock, the best thing to do was to get ourselves out there, immerse ourselves in the new and the unfamiliar. As tempting as it may be to sit in your apartment, make calls to family and friends at home, and watch your favourite TV shows from home– these could be detrimental to your attempt to assimilate and adapt to your new communities.
I didn't hold back. During the first year I did something different most evenings after school. I joined a Taiko team and a Kendo club, I quilted with the doctor's wife and I practised the art of Shodo. By the end of my 5 years I'd become a regular at my local Ikebana class and joined a conversation class to help with my Japanese. I became friends with my taiko teachers and would watch them perform in their group at local festivals and concerts, I attended a local sake tasting with the doctor in my town, and I made friends with the lady who owned the antique shop along the road. I became a conversational exchange partner with a friend I met on a night out, and got welcomed into a community of local artists after a chance encounter on a walk along a river. Because of this encounter I ended up visiting the home and studio of a famous wood block artist; learning the technique of making these incredible artworks, making pottery at the home of another artist, and trying my hand at making indigo dye and using it to dye fabric. I caught fireflies by the river, swam in bioluminescence seas, rode the 77km Shimanami Kaido cycle route on my scooter and bicycle, and had many more incredible experiences, far too many to list here. These were the result of me putting myself out there and not wasting any opportunity that passed me by.
The main thing I threw myself into was volunteering. I found that this really helped me to get the most out of my experience and to really get involved with both my local community and JET community. I wrote various articles for the online web magazine for Hiroshima, including travel articles, festival and restaurant reviews. I was a member of the Hiroshima branch of AJET – Association of JETS. Their main aim is to organise trips, parties and social events for the JETs. We started an annual charity fundraiser which is still going strong, initially raising money for the redevelopment of a small fishing town after the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami. I wrote articles for the AJET online magazine 'Connect' about this event, and gave tips on how to organise a charity fundraiser. It now raises money to fund visits to a children's home in Hiroshima prefecture – the visits are run through a volunteer organisation founded by JETs. I started volunteering for the visits in my first year and by the middle of my second year I was coordinating the visits. We visited the home around once a month and played games, did arts and crafts and hung out with the kids.
"I wrote various articles for

There was no English focus on the visits- just to go there and have fun. I'd try to make sure there was cultural content in each – e.g. dances from around the world, Mardi Gras festival themed activities and so on. I also volunteered in an Organic Farm helping out in the fruit gardens of a jam making business – also helping in the labelling of jars. It was a great experience, staying in the home of our hosts, increasing my ability for cross cultural exchange.
My English teaching experience, alongside my volunteer spirit lead me to another great opportunity straight after JET; I worked as a voluntary English teacher and events coordinator on board the Peace Boat. The event organising, public speaking and coordination skills I learnt during volunteering whilst on JET helped me in this role immensely. I taught Japanese adults English language skills that they may need for tours organised in ports.
The experiences open to you as a JET Programme participant are endless. With a 'can-do' attitude, enthusiasm and the willingness to put yourself out there, you will gain the most out of your JET journey. I have no regrets and will always have a second home in Fuchu City, Hiroshima. The transferable skills and experiences gained on JET will stay with me for the rest of my life, and for that I am forever thankful to the JET Programme.

$3.12bn NLNG dividends: Senate asks CBN, NNPC to submit details of withdrawals
The Senate Committee on Gas has directed the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation and the Central Bank of Nigeria to submit within one week, the schedules of the 45 withdrawals made from the account of the Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas from 1999 till date.
The senate panel, which is probing the alleged mismanagement of the NLNG dividends' accounts, asked the two federal agencies to specifically include the 22 schedules of dividend payments and withdrawals from May 2015 without the National Assembly approval.
The Chairman of the committee, Senator Bassey Akpan instructed the representatives of the two major institutions to include the process for the withdrawals and the authorising institutions in their submissions.
Akpan said, "We want the NNPC to supply all the withdrawals on the NLNG accounts and all the supporting documents.
"The account belongs to Nigerians but you are running it in trust for the nation. We want details of the 22 withdrawals made which amounted to $3.12bn as well as other withdrawals which are 45 in all from 1999 till date.
"The CBN should also include in its submission, details of other individuals and institutions who also gave orders for withdrawals apart from the NNPC."
Both the Chief Financial Officer of the NNPC, Isiaka Abdulrazaq and the acting Director, Banking Services department of the CBN, Christopher Olomukoro, told the senate panel that the Minister of Finance also gave directives for withdrawals from the account.

2019 Annual Mt. Lassen Hiking Campout
August 31st - September 2nd
Activity: The Mt. Lassen Hiking Campout is a fantastic opportunity to explore a unique area of California and observe the most active volcano in the state. The national park is known for its volcanic history, as well as its diversity of plants and animals. It contains 300 active volcanic domes and many hydrothermal features, such as mud pots and steam vents. Lassen Peak is the southernmost active volcano in the Cascades, and the second most recent volcano to erupt in the lower 48 of the United States before Mount Saint Helens. Lassen National Park boasts over 700 species of flowering plants and 250 species of vertebrates, including birds, mammals, reptiles and fish. The park is at the junction of the Cascade Mountains, the Sierra Nevada Mountains and the Great Basin, thus providing many unique habitats.
We will visit a 1,300-foot-long lava tube that carried lava from the famous May 1915 eruption, hike the Brokeoff Mountain Trail to see the stunning views of Mt. Lassen, and view boiling lakes, bubbling mud pots, and roaring fumaroles (gas vents) that are indicators of the ongoing volcanic activity just below the serene forest.
We will be camping at the Lost Creek Campground within Lassen Peak Volcanic National Park. This is an exceptional one-of-a-kind trip for scouting! Be There!
When: August 31st, 2019 (8 AM) - Monday
Where to Meet: The Scout House (1305 Middlefield Rd #1, Palo Alto, CA 94301, USA)

Noah Centineo (To All The Boys I Loved Before) is in talks to star in a new adaption of Masters of The Universe.
Mattel Films is partnering with Sony on the movie, which is based on Mattel's beloved toy line that spawned a successful animated TV series (1983-85) as well as a 1987 film. The property centers on the warrior He-Man, the last hope of a magical land called Eternia. Dolph Lundgren starred in the original movie as the title character, while Frank Langella played the villainous Skeletor.
Centineo experienced a bit of an international breakout after appearing in the Netflix film adaption of YA novel "To All The Boys I've Loved Before" by Jenny Han. He has also appeared in Sierra Burgess Is A Loser.
Brothers Adam and Aaron Nee will direct with Todd Black, Jason Blumenthal, and Steve Tisch, as well as DeVon Franklin producing.

Many expected the state of New Jersey to quickly legalize recreational marijuana after Democrat Phil Murphy took office as governor. But there's been strong resistance to the idea, but that hasn't stopped politicians from trying.
This week saw several new attempts to legalize marijuana in New Jersey. Assemblyman Reed Gusciora proposed a new bill that would establish around 400 cannabis dispensaries in the state, and also would create a more open industry than earlier proposals. Meanwhile, Murphy reiterated that he still plans on legalizing the drug during his first ever budget address.
Gusciora's proposal differs slightly from the bill currently being considered by the New Jersey Senate. The new bill would add far more dispensaries, impose a smaller tax on cannabis purchases while also allotting more of the revenue for cities and towns rather than the state and also specified how many growers the state would license.
The marijuana debate in New Jersey has become divisive in the past month or so. While legalization has proponents on both sides of the aisle, it also has opponents from both parties as well. Even Democrats, who control the state's legislature and the governor's mansion, are divided on what to do about the issue. Gusciora's bill will probably not help settle that divide, considering it's a more liberal bill in regards to legalization than previous proposals.
So it's looking like New Jersey will not get the legalized marijuana within Murphy's first 100 days in office, but it appears there's still pressure to get something done sooner rather than later.

Home > Urban/suburban design > Special planting situations > Landfill sites and trees > Clay layers
Landfill sites: Has the refuse been capped with a clay layer or other impervious material?
Some landfills are capped with a clay layer, polyethylene, or other material to help prevent rainwater from entering the landfill and to entrap methane. It is often difficult to determine whether a landfill has been capped, but the municipal engineering or public works department should be able to answer the question for you.
It is important to determine this because sites with a cap present fewer problems for trees. Gas contamination of the cover soil tends to be localized, not widespread as it is in a landfill without a cap.
Although many caps eventually crack as refuse settles, allowing landfill gas to migrate into the cover soil in these localized areas, tree growth on the rest of the landfill should be better than on a landfill without a cap.

CLOVERDALE — Do your best to look your worst.
Those are words of wisdom for would-be participants at an event at Cloverdale Youth Park this coming Saturday afternoon (Oct. 24).
Zombies of various shapes, sizes and levels of decay are sought for another Thrill the World gathering at the skate park, which played host to a similar, inaugural event last October.
Around the world at the same time, people put on makeup, dress accordingly and dance to Michael Jackson's "Thriller," just like the actors in his hit music video from the early-1980s.
It's not just a kind of zombie zumba class, it's a fundraiser for Surrey Food Bank. Those wanting to get involved are encouraged to make a suggested minimum $10 donation to the food bank. Spectators are also asked to make donations of cash and/or non-perishable food items.
As a world-record attempt, the first Thrill the World event was held in Toronto in 2006. Three years later, the zombie dance-off had grown in popularity to involve 23,000 participants at 400-plus locations around the world.
The second annual gathering in Cloverdale aims to build on last year's group event, when a few dozen undead dancers stepped up for Thrill the World Surrey.
Nicole Whitney, a founding member of the Surrey group, says it's a lot of fun. She launched the event in Surrey with Natalie Binns and Charlotte Barlow, who dresses the part of Michael each year.
"We used to go to the event downtown and wanted to try it out here," Whitney said.
"It's very exciting to be involved in something like this, for a good cause. It's a great song and a tribute to an amazing artist."
Best of all, she said, participants don't have to show up knowing all the dance steps.
"You can learn a few of the moves beforehand (at the site), just come be part of it. Dress up as a zombie and dance."
The goal of TTW is unity, philanthropy, and fun, according to the Surrey group's Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/thrilltheworldsurrey). The group posted a "learn the dance" video on its website (http://thrilltheworldsurrey.com) and has hosted a series of practice events at Bear Creek Park and Seiken School of Martial Arts in Surrey (the final one at the latter site is Friday, Oct. 23 starting at 7 p.m.).
Some of these local zombies participated in last weekend's Vancouver Halloween Parade and Expo, as a kind of warm-up for the gathering this weekend at Cloverdale Youth Park, located at 176th Street and 62nd Ave. The event will run from 1 to 3:30 p.m., with "crash course" dance lessons and zombie makeovers scheduled to happen before the big dance at 3 p.m. sharp.

A couple of weeks ago Chris Gee and I attended the UK Blog Awards 2014 that was held at The Grange Hotel, St Pauls. Although we do look like a couple of young pretenders from Spandau Ballet, we sometimes found it hard on the night explaining to people that we weren't the people who were up for the Young Persons 18-25 (Organisation) award.
We were in attendance, as Martha Hannis couldn't make it due to family commitments. Gemma Pearson and Becki Cross were the organisers behind the blog awards and the event – who also announced that they'd be back next year for the same again.
The night went without a hitch and we were extremely impressed with how well organised everything was. Over 300 people including bloggers, sponsors and the original Stig from Top Gear attended the awards ceremony, with the whole night a resounding success. We were plied with ample amounts of champagne on reception, whilst waiters served food (chicken kebabs, king prawn skewers, onion bahjis) to hundreds of guests that socialised in the main room. The awards ceremony lasted for a couple of hours before cocktails and more socialising, with a band playing later in the night.
These two young women showed a lot of guts to enter the awards world and the turnout was testament to all of their hard work. Sponsors flocked to each and every one of their advertising streams and the future looks bright for potential investment. Although our blog didn't win, the calibre of writer on display was refreshing to see, as there was a huge variety of categories producing a platform for bloggers all over the UK. This was a great way for businesses to showcase their marketing talent and to illustrate why blogging is such an important tool – let's hope 2015 is just as successful. Word on the grapevine is there'll be a blogging conference sandwiched between nominations and the awards next year so look out for that.
