http://encore-realty.com/?sebig=konto-hos-forex&ead=e1 konto hos forex At Northeastern, administrators receive thousands of applications from high school seniors around the globe every spring semester. With so many people hoping to be a member of the next Husky class, the task of giving each a fair read may seem impossible.
بيع اسهم المزرعه The number of college applications to the university has set records the past two years. 2013 is no exception – as the university received around 47,322 applications according to Renata Nyul, a university spokeswoman.
لمسة واحدة إستراتيجية الخيارات الثنائية "The applicant pool this year is higher than ever," she said. "Last year, we received around 44,208."
دخول الاسهم السعودية Jane Brown, vice president of enrollment management at Northeastern said during the months of January to March, admissions counselors read applications all day long – sometimes even at night. About 20 college admission counselors read the applications, which include essays, high school transcripts and recommendations, full time.
ما هي الخيارات الثنائية "All of our counselors are assigned to various territories and they read the applications from those territories," Brown said. "And we do have a number of other people that we hire on a part-time basis just to help us read applications. And so very often, those might be people that have worked in the counseling field before. Some of them even having been here before. We invite them in during this period of time and we provide them with very high level of training so that they understand how applications are read. And they help us process those applications."
عرض اسعار الاسهم السعودية اليوم With so many applications that need to be read, there are numerous things that counselors keep in mind, Brown said. The incoming freshman class will total around 2,800 students.
سوق الاسهم السعودية تداول "We're looking to see those students who would be most successful in a Northeastern environment," Brown said. "Because we have many more qualified students than we can possibly admit. The vast majority of those 47,000 applications are students who could be successful here."
بيانات العلامات بالفوركس When counselors look at applications, there are several factors they consider, not just GPA and SAT or ACT scores.
ساعدني لكسب المال "When we look at applications, we look at a range of academic qualities as well as personal qualities," Brown said. "In order for us to do that, we need to read all of those applications from cover to cover. That's what admission counselors are doing now. We're not just looking to see test scores or just the GPA, but we're also looking at how much students have challenged themselves in high school."
شراء اسهم قناة السويس الجديدة Brown said there are a couple of criteria that counselors keep in mind. Those include how students have been taking advantage of the most rigorous programs that their high schools offer and what signs there are to show that a student is intellectually curious.
كيفية كسب المال من المال "Then we're also looking at those personal traits that we might find in students references, or their choice of extracurricular activities," Brown said. "Are students adaptable? Are they creative and innovative? Do they express an interest in learning more about the world? Do they have that sort of global perspective? Have they demonstrated leadership?"
كشفت استراتيجية الخيارات الثنائية Admission counselors also look very closely at how students spend their time outside of class and how students deal with failure and hardship. Brown said these qualitative characteristics "are only things you can find when you're reading students' essays, when you're looking at their outside-of-classroom experiences and when you're looking at their references."
http://www.fiv5starhousecleaning.com/?rabiny=%D9%85%D9%88%D9%82%D8%B9-%D9%81%D9%88%D8%B1%D9%83%D8%B3&4e8=a0 موقع فوركس After counselors have read over college applications in their regions or territories, they gather the data from the student records or applications, then record the information in a database.
الجيش خيار ثنائي "And then we start out by using some of those characteristics to begin to select the class using a technology," Brown said.
مؤشر سوق دبي Brown mentioned that if a student has taken a rigorous course load, a counselor will assign a rating to the student's academic rigor.
optionrally شركة "And so we translate a lot of that qualitative data into a quantitative form," she said. "So it's either a rating or some kind of category, so that we can do a little bit of selection using technology."
After dealing with numbers, Brown said they look at some of the university's goals, like bringing in students from a variety of backgrounds.
"We're looking to bring in a diverse student body, a student body that represents the world geography because that creates the most enriching environment for students to learn in," she said. "We look for diversity of all kinds so we look for racial, ethnic and cultural and political, spiritual — all of those kinds of diversities … so we can bring a community together."
The counselors believe that these characteristics can help build a strong intellectual community.
"So we start to pull out those applications that will help us create that shape of the class. We start looking at the overall academic profile and where the students are coming from," Brown said.
Admissions counselors processed 18,000 applications during the early action period. Many of those students who were not offered admission were deferred to the regular pool.
"Then we take all the RD [regular decision] applications and those deferred from EA," Brown said. "Those get all read between Jan. 15 and when our applications [decisions] go out, which is sometime in late March."
Brown described the process as "very complex."
"It's a process that takes a large committee quite a bit of time too," she said. "An admissions officer's life is very typical. They're out on the road, visiting schools in the late fall and the early winter, [then] their lives change dramatically. They are always glued to their computer."

Western Pennsylvania getting third area code thanks to demand for digits
Western Pennsylvania soon will need a third area code to quench demand for phone numbers from texting teenagers and constantly connected professionals who often juggle two cellphones, a land line and a fax number.
The state Public Utility Commission on Friday said phone service providers will begin assigning the 878 area code to new customers in the 724 area code first because its supply of available prefixes — the first three digits after the area code — is nearly exhausted.
The 724 area code covers Pittsburgh's suburbs, mostly outside Allegheny County. The 412 code is primarily Pittsburgh and much of Allegheny County.
It could be two months to a year before customers begin receiving 878 numbers, said Denise McCracken, a PUC spokeswoman.
"It really depends how fast the remaining numbers are taken," McCracken said. "This is one more warning that says the 724 area code is nearing exhaustion."
It's unclear how many new phone numbers are being ordered because Verizon and AT&T declined to release customer statistics for the area, saying the data are proprietary. But the area is gobbling up numbers, even though the population of Allegheny County, with 1.2 million people, fell 4.6 percent between the 2000 and 2010 censuses, and Pittsburgh lost 8.6 percent to settle at about 305,000. Population in 10 counties in the 724 area code decreased by 1.8 percent.
Phone companies will assign the new digits on a first-come, first-served basis.
McCracken said no specific suburbs are slated to get the new area code first. New customers in the 412 area will get 878 once its numbering options are almost gone.
The concept of an 878 area code has been around since 2000. The PUC planned to implement the code more than a decade ago but decided to wait until 724 and 412 options were nearly depleted. Customers will keep existing area codes and telephone numbers, according to the PUC.
Christian Kinkela, co-owner of Shop 412 in the SouthSide Works, said he's not worried about the new area code's influencing demand for his store's T-shirts, hooded sweatshirts and shoes imprinted with stylized versions of Pittsburgh's original area code. The store won't produce 878 apparel.
"This is the only place that matters to us," Kinkela said. "It's a way to identify with an area without always having to wear a Steelers jersey or something. It's a way to feel that you're representing (Pittsburgh) without being so damn loud all the time."
The PUC said the proliferation of cellphones and additional land lines increased demand for phone numbers.
"We attribute it to the fact that some people have up to four phone numbers now," McCracken said. "People have work numbers, cell numbers, personal cell numbers and fax numbers. It's really the fact that people themselves have more numbers today."
In 2012, CTIA, a wireless provider trade group, reported there were 321.7 million U.S. wireless subscriber connections — more than the country's population of 315.4 million. The number of teens who text with friends daily shot up 16 percentage points from 2008 to 2009 from 38 percent to 54 percent, according to the Pew Internet & American Life Project.
John Manning, senior director of the North American Numbering Plan Administration, said there is only one unused phone number prefix remaining in the 724 area code of 800 potential prefixes. He said once the final prefix's 10,000 possible numbers (0000 to 9999) run out, customers will start seeing the 878 area code.
There are just more than 105 prefixes available in the 412 area code.
There could be up to 8 million telephone numbers per area code, Manning said, but the actual number is less than that because of restrictions on using certain sensitive prefixes, such as 911.
"A lot of folks think when an area code is exhausted, it's because every single telephone number within the area code is assigned, and that's not the case," he said. "It's exhausted when all of the prefixes are assigned. So when you assign that last prefix, that area code is exhausted."
It's the North American Numbering Plan Administration's job to warn state utility commissions that a new area code needs to be activated.
Until 1997, Pennsylvania had four area codes: 814, 412, 717 and 215. The PUC added five between 1997 and 2000, including the 724 area code in Western Pennsylvania. Phone callers have had to dial 10 digits in Western Pennsylvania since 2001.
Fifteen years ago, the PUC implemented an area code "conservation plan" to extend the life of the 724 and 412 codes.
It did so by releasing blocks of 1,000 phone numbers to cell and land-line telephone providers at a time, instead of blocks of 10,000 numbers.
The smaller portions forced carriers to use every number available before seeking more.
Even with the conservation efforts and the 878 area code, the Numbering Plan Administration estimates in a report submitted to the PUC that the 412, 724 and 878 area codes will exhaust their supply of phone numbers by 2028.

Spartanburg is the largest city in and the county seat of Spartanburg County, South Carolina, United States, and the twelfth largest city by population in the state. Spartanburg has a municipal population of 37,013 and an urban population of 180,786 at the 2010 census.[1] The Spartanburg Metropolitan Statistical Area, corresponding to Spartanburg County and Union County had a population of 316,997 as of the 2012 census estimate and Revised Delineations of Metropolitan Statistical Areas.
Spartanburg is the second-largest city in the greater Greenville-Spartanburg-Anderson Combined Statistical Area which had a population of 1,266,995 at the 2010 census. It is part of a 10-county region of northwestern South Carolina known as "The Upstate," and is located northwest of Columbia, west of Charlotte, North Carolina, and about northeast of Atlanta, Georgia.
This region of the Carolina Piedmont was for centuries a cherished hunting ground of the Catawba and Cherokee tribes, which occupied land east and west of this area, respectively. This distant heritage can be glimpsed in some of the natural features.
Early European settlers to this area included French fur trappers, English woodsmen, and Scots-Irish farmers. Few remnants survive from these early pioneering days, but traces can be found in the more rural areas of the county.
First established in the 1780s as a courthouse village, Spartanburg may have been named for the Spartan regiment of the South Carolina militia. The city was incorporated in 1831, at the time of the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Cowpens, a pivotal fight of the American Revolution that took place only a few miles away. The city's streets and architectural record reflect the changes of the 19th and 20th centuries.
Cotton mills have abounded in the Spartanburg area since 1816, earning Spartanburg the reputation as the "Lowell of the South." Although there were few mills in the area before the Civil War, technological advances, northern capital, and out-migration from the poor farms that made white labor available, created a wave of postbellum mill development here and in much of the Piedmont South. Additionally, the abundant streams and rivers in the area are just beginning their descent towards the lower-lying Midlands region. In many places, these waterways descend abruptly, providing a source for plentiful waterpower. Cotton mills were built along these rivers to harness this power, and so began the region's servitude to King Cotton. These mills, their owners and their laborers dominated the politics and economy of the region for nearly a century. Although nearly all abandoned, many mills remain along the riverbanks, the Piedmont equivalent of Gothic ruins.
When the United States entered World War I in 1917, one of the sixteen divisional cantonments for the training of National Guard troops was Camp Wadsworth, which is located in the vicinity of Westgate Mall. Large numbers of New York National Guardsmen trained there in addition to many southern troops. During World War II, Camp Croft south of the city trained Army recruits. This is now a South Carolina state park with the same name. Some portions of the park contain the original quonset huts (1/2 metal tube structures).
The American Legion Building, Anderson's Mill, Arcadia Mill No. 2, Bon Haven, Central Methodist Church, Church of the Advent, Cleveland Law Range, Converse College Historic District, Converse Heights Historic District, Drayton Mill, Bishop William Wallace Duncan House, Frank Evans High School, Evans-Russell House, Evins-Bivings House, Foster's Tavern, Fremont School, Golightly-Dean House, Hampton Heights Historic District, Hotel Oregon, Montgomery Building, Walter Scott Montgomery House, Daniel Morgan Monument, Nicholls-Crook House, Palmetto Theater, Schuyler Apartments, Jammie Seay House, Spartanburg Historic District, Walker Hall, Walnut Grove Plantation, Wofford College Historic District, and Mary H. Wright Elementary School are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 13/4/2014 (1221 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The Portage Diversion is operating, there are ice jams on the Assiniboine River, parts of Highway 5 are underwater and The Pas could suffer flooding.
But, overall, we're doing pretty well this year and should be thankful for a colder April.
Though you may be cursing the cold, the province's flood forecasters say the best-case scenario is to slowly welcome the warmth of spring.
"Warmer weather during the day and cooler, below freezing at night slows the runoff, and that's generally a good sign in how to dissipate the snowpack and reduce runoff," Steve Topping, executive director of hydrologic forecasting and water management for Manitoba, said Sunday.
"It does two things. Basically, it rests the melt, and as such the runoff will ease," Topping said. "But the rivers, like the Assiniboine and Red River, are increasing in flows, and (with) ice jams, the ice is still solid and will remain solid in this colder weather, so ice jamming may be compounded or become more problematic."
The Portage Diversion began operating at about 5 p.m. Saturday to manage ice on the lower Assiniboine River, the province said.
"The purpose of that operation was to control water levels downstream from Portage to Headingley," Topping said. "Our objective is to control water levels such that we minimize ice jamming that can impact the Assiniboine dikes. We don't want over-topping of the dikes due to ice jams, so we keep the flow at about 5,000 cfs (cubic feet per second) at a constant, and hopefully the ice melts in place."
Topping said an ice jam that began Saturday near Spruce Woods Provincial Park caused water levels on the Assiniboine River to rise about two metres, covering Highway 5 in water.
"The water levels rose seven feet and flooded out PTH 5 just east of the bridge," said Topping, who hoped water levels could ease enough for the road to reopen today.
A high-water advisory, issued Saturday by the province, is for the Assiniboine River from St-Lazare to Portage la Prairie due to ice jamming and the potential for ice jams and flooding.
"That's in place now and will be in place likely until this cold spell is over," Topping said.
"The Red River is near crest at Grand Forks within the next two days. It's about 31,000 cfs, so (it is) a much smaller flood than most floods. So that's good news," Topping said. "The crest will likely reach Emerson maybe by Friday. It's not certain yet whether we'll have to put the floodway into operation."
Water flows along the Red River and its tributaries remain within banks.
The main hot spot for flooding is The Pas, where above-normal soil moisture and winter precipitation have resulted in the potential for greater-than-normal runoff and localized flooding. Existing flood protection is expected to be adequate for the projected levels.

Date of Defense 2011-04-20 Availability unrestricted AbstractHypertension affects 50 million Americans and remains the second leading cause of renal failure in the United States. Current pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches to treat hypertension have proven effective, but the complexities of the disease and its renal effects warrant the need for new treatments. The hypothesis of this dissertation was that pharmacological or non-pharmacological approaches to reducing inflammation and oxidative stress would prevent hypertension-induced renal injury in the spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR).
In the first study, we blocked the inflammatory transcription factor, nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-ĸB), with pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate in the SHR kidney. In treated SHR, blood pressure decreased, renal hemodynamics were preserved, and oxidative stress and inflammation were attenuated at both the cytosolic and mitochondrial levels; suggesting a role for NF-ĸB in potentiating hypertension-induced renal injury.
In the second study, we examined the effects of aerobic exercise training on renal oxidative stress and inflammation. Exercised SHR exhibited normalized blood pressure and renal hemodynamics. These effects were attributed to lower NF-ĸB activity and decreased oxidative stress in the SHR kidney. In the third and fourth studies, we examined the effects of diet modification by use of blueberry-enriched diets, since blueberries have one of the highest antioxidant capacities of any fruit or vegetable tested to date.
In the third study, we fed stroke-prone SHR high salt and a blueberry-enriched diet for 2 days, 6 weeks, or 12 weeks, and examined renal parameters. The SHR fed the blueberry diet for the 6- or 12-week periods demonstrated lower oxidative stress, lower blood pressure, and preservation of renal hemodynamics. These effects were likely due to a hormetic effect of the blueberries themselves, since rats fed blueberries for 2 days demonstrated higher oxidative stress. In the final study, we added blueberries to a stroke-permissive diet, which accelerates renal damage in SHR. Rats were fed diets for 10 weeks. Rats fed the control diet had severe hypertension, severe oxidative stress, and severe inflammation as evidenced by NF-ĸB activation, and exhibited signs of renal failure. Rats fed the blueberry supplemented diet exhibited decreases in blood pressure, oxidative stress, and inflammation, and also had preserved renal structure and function.

(MoneyWatch) If the future of money is virtual and digital, does electronic wallet startup Coin represent the currency of tomorrow?
Coin made a splash last week by opening its universal credit card to pre-order. On the surface, it's an impressive product. Imagine an electronic device that's the same size as a traditional credit card, but it can hold up to eight credit cards, debit cards and gift cards. When you want to make a purchase, you can easily choose the desired card using a simple control on the surface of the Coin. Coin is accepted and scanned like any ordinary card, and you can even swipe it at an ATM or point of sale card reader.
While the Coin gadget only holds eight cards at a time, it syncs with an iPhone or Android app where you can store an unlimited number of cards, and can swap them around anytime you like. The Coin comes with a Square-like credit card reader for transferring your card info to the phone and then onto Coin.
The possibilities are exciting. Who wouldn't like to leave all of their various cards at home and only carry a single card in their wallet? But the jury is still out on Coin's viability. For starters, it's not shipping until summer 2014 at the earliest. Seeking $50,000 in capital, Coin is taking pre-orders now (and charging your credit card) to the tune of $50 for a device that you'll get next year, at which time the price will jump to $100 for latecomers.
Assuming it comes to market, meanwhile, Coin will face major challenges. For instance, the electronic card doesn't display the signature field on the back of the original card, so there's no way for retailers to check a user's signature. More fundamentally, many retailers want to a shopper's original card, and Coin is not that.
Despite such hurdles, Coin has thought through security concerns. The device pairs with your smartphone, and you can specify a time-out period after which the card will stop working if it's out of contact with your phone. In a nice touch, it will even ping your phone if you walk away from the retailer without taking Coin with you.
Coin's battery is supposed to last two years, after which you need to replace the device entirely, so factor that into the equation as well. Still, if Coin proves viable, this could be a bold move toward that virtual currency future we've been waiting for.

Lulu John, Warume Sakas and Aebi Sakas bring home food and medicine gathered from the forest at Elie, Middle Fly District, PNG.
The world's ancient forests are still being destroyed, even though we know that they provide the world with clean, fresh water, support as much as 90 per cent of the earth's land-based plant and animals and play a critical role in shaping the world's climate. They are also home to millions of forest dependent people. Yet every two seconds a forest area the size of a soccer pitch is logged or burned. Less than 20 per cent of the earth's original forest cover remains in intact forest landscapes. More than one third of this is under threat.
Industrial logging is the greatest menace to the forests survival. Transnational corporations have destructive operations and often work outside the law, harvesting the worlds' last remaining ancient forests.
Incredibly, these irreplaceable habitats are cut down to make cheap paper and wood products, such as phone books, milk cartons and chopsticks. Huge volumes of plywood, much of it used to make disposable concrete moulds, come from ancient forests.
Logging also contributes to climate change because carbon, a greenhouse gas, is released when trees are cut down. Present rates of forest destruction account for 15 per cent of global carbon emissions.
This destruction is unnecessary. Environmentally and socially responsible forest management can, and is, being practised worldwide. However, with currently less than 5% credibly certified as responsibly managed, ancient forests continue to be at risk from accelerating rates of destructive and illegal logging.
If we use wood and paper efficiently, we would not need to take the wood from our ancient forests, consumer demand could be met by well-managed secondary forests, plantation, recycling and non-wood sources like hemp.
Greenpeace is campaigning globally to protect the last remaining ancient forests by opposing their destruction and supporting community-based solutions, through:
Greenpeace New Zealand's work to save our ancient forests focuses mainly on the protection of the Paradise Forests, which are located through Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands and Indonesia.

Australasia is not only an important regional marketplace for China Southern Airlines to boost its internationalisation process, but also the most direct and powerful supporting point to enhance its international brand. In April last year, the Guangzhou-Auckland route was officially launched with the concerted efforts of China Southern and Auckland Airport.
Over the past year and a half, this route has witnessed a flight frequency increase from three times weekly to daily, and also an ever-upgraded in-flight service, making China Southern the largest carrier in the China-Australasia market.
"China Southern will pledge full use of these new opportunities, brought about by the signing of this MOU yesterday, to strengthen the cooperation, communication and friendship with New Zealand," says Mr Tan.
"China Southern is moving full speed ahead with the development of the Guangzhou hub to better serve as the connection between China and New Zealand to provide safe, reliable and on-time services to travellers throughout New Zealand and around the globe."
The MOU marks the next phase in fostering a closer working relationship between New Zealand and China, one of the world's fastest growing economies and inbound travel markets, says Auckland Airport's Chief Executive Adrian Littlewood.
"Broadly speaking, the agreement between China Southern Airlines, Tourism New Zealand and Auckland Airport sets out each party's intention of working together to strengthen the commitment between New Zealand and the airline to aid future growth between the two countries. We realise the significant opportunity for New Zealand tourism in assisting China Southern to expand its service with Auckland, and we are thrilled the airline has reciprocated by pledging its commitment to New Zealand in the form of the MOU agreement," he says.
"The MOU agreement, together with the visit to New Zealand by the 250 elite China Southern travel partners, is very much in line with our Ambition 2020 goals to develop more New Zealand experiences and higher quality offerings for Chinese visitors."
Other aspects of the MOU include jointly working to develop awareness in the Auckland and China markets, and helping create demand for China Southern Airlines' Canton route; studying route performance and developing future plans; sharing ideas and knowledge to assist product development and growth opportunities; and sharing meaningful information and research for mutual benefit.
"China represents a huge growth opportunity for New Zealand, and it is pleasing to see China Southern Airlines investing in promoting this market in China so strongly through its hosted travel agent visit this week," says Kevin Bowler, Tourism New Zealand's Chief Executive.
"The positive impact of this visit cannot be underestimated. To that end, Tourism New Zealand is only too happy to throw our support behind China Southern Airlines, and Auckland Airport, to grow our ties with China, in the form of an MOU agreement."
The MOU was signed by Mr Tan of China Southern Airlines, Auckland Airport's Chief Executive Adrian Littlewood and Tourism New Zealand Chair Kerry Prendergast. Attending the ceremony were more than 60 senior representatives from New Zealand travel, trade and tourism organisations, China Southern Airlines and Auckland Airport.
China Southern Airlines' delegation visit to New Zealand included a gala dinner last night in Auckland which was attended by New Zealand tourism industry and business leaders. This is followed by three days of leisure activities for the 250 visiting travel agents before they depart on Friday 14 December. The delegation will enjoy a range of activities in the Bay of Islands, Auckland and Waikato, including visiting the Hobbiton movie set.

Birth of a New Earth
Friday, August 18, 2017
Friends - I don't know whose video this is, but I would very much like to find out. This footage is EXQUISITELY BEAUTIFUL and really shows the amazing power of the neurobiology of love at birth. JUST LOOK AT THE LOVE THAT IS FLOWING IN THE HEARTS AND BODIES OF THE NEW PARENTS!!!! You can FEEL it. It is palpable. It is an oxytocin/endorphin rush that will only be felt when birth happens in a field of love. IT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT EVENT IN THE LIFE OF ANY COUPLE AND ALL COUPLES SHOULD GET TO EXPERIENCE THIS WHEN THEY GIVE BIRTH TO THEIR CHILD.
Don't let the dark ones rob you and your family of this foundation of love. Avoid hospitals like the plague and only merge bodies with those you want to create a child with. Otherwise, suffering will ensue.

Dear friends - For those who would like to embody the solution and contribute to resolving our current predicament, I invite you to participate in the reconnection of your biocircuitry and the restoration of your original blueprint as it existed prior to the genetic modification of Mankind. Please see http://thetemplateorg.com for more info.
We have been systematically altered through the use of deadly poisons, extreme trauma, mind control, and much more. The attack on our genetic and biological integrity began several centuries ago and continues to this day with things like ultrasound, radiation, numerous forms of electro-magnetic assault, GMO foods, vaccines, chemtrails, fluoride, pharmaceutical drugs, and much much more.
At this time, it is urgently necessary for a large number of people to return their system to it's original design. With the reconnection of circuitry, each one of us will be able to plug ourselves in to the morphogenetic grid and transform it with our very presence here in this dimension.
We are the ones we've been waiting for. Please consider being part of the solution.
Below are links to Ceremonies 1-3. Watching these videos and speaking the sonic code will provide you with 20 reconnected circuits. Be prepared for big movement and transformation in your lives as Source energy floods your system and brings you into alignment with who you really are and what you really came here for.
These are very powerful Ceremonies and only good will come from them. However, the changes that they bring can feel uncomfortable. Stick with it and if you need support, please feel free to email me at firstname.lastname@example.com
Also, I am desperately wanting to get to Bali in September in order to complete Ceremonies 14-16. This has been a 13-year process for me and it is time for the culmination of this journey. If you have appreciated my work and are in a position to make a donation, I would be so, so grateful. I do not think I would be doing the work I am doing today if I had not participated in these Ceremonies. The influx of Source energy has allowed me to see things that I would not have otherwise seen and this, in turn, has allowed me to help and inspire many thousands of people with my awareness and my renewed ability to love.
Please consider participating in the Ceremonies and if you are able, please also consider making a donation. No donation is too big. I need to raise at $1500 to make this trip. Here's the donate button and the Ceremony links are below. Thank you!

Dear friends - I have been attempting to write this blog for several days now but have had some challenges completing it because of how complicated and time-consuming the task is. There is a lot of ground I want to cover here, so I ask you to please be patient with me as I pull all the pieces together. I also encourage you to please read through this entire blog in order to receive the full transmission.
First, I'm sure many of you have noticed that the mainstream media is feverishly promoting the idea that we have a sudden opioid addiction problem that must be addressed NOW. If you haven't seen the headlines, here are a few screenshots from an internet search.
Not surprisingly, while (((those who control the mainstream media))) are pushing the illusion that we suddenly have an opioid epidemic that must be addressed immediately, they've been simultaneously badgering President Trump to declare a national emergency regarding the alleged new "opioid crisis."
Interestingly, a quick google search reveals that America has had a serious problem with opioid addiction since at least the late 1980s, which you can see from the screenshot below.
So we need to be asking the question of why -- if we have had an ongoing issue with opiate addiction for at least 30 years -- are they suddenly making such a fuss about it now?
The reason (((they))) are pushing the idea of an "opioid national emergency" is because (((they))) are getting ready to roll out their new opioid addiction vaccine and (((they))) are using (((their media))) and the office of the President of the United States to attempt to mind control the American people into believing it is urgently necessary for them to have their children (especially teenagers) vaccinated -- or injected with the contents of this latest biological weapon.
It is also EXTREMELY obvious to those with eyes to see that they are gearing up to attempt to MANDATE this new vaccine, as can be clearly discerned from the words of (((Scott Gottlieb, M.D.))), Commissioner of the U.S. Poison Food and Drug-em-to-Death Administration (FDA).
Notice the language regarding "more forceful steps" and a "mandate to confront the crisis." These evil bastards are intending to go for the jugular in terms of turning our children into zombies and it is up to us to put a stop to this madness before it's too late. You can read the full FDA announcement here.
So why are they so hell bent on mandating this particular vaccine?
Well let's have a look at what the vaccine is designed to do.
According to this article, the new vaccine is designed "to block the effects of heroin, fentanyl and other synthetic opioids..."
Another article says it is intended to "blunt" the effects of opioids by generating an immune response that will send out antibodies to "seek out the opioids and bind to the drugs' molecules, preventing them from reaching the brain."
Sounds great doesn't it?
The only problem is, if the vaccine creates antibodies to synthetic opioids and succeeds in preventing the opioids from reaching their receptors in the brain, it is also highly likely the vaccine will create antibodies to NATURAL opioids and prevent them from reaching their receptors in the brain as well. This will negatively impact normal oxytocin and vasopressin secretions, as well as the body's secretions of natural opiates and endorphins, all of which are involved in orchestrating the magnificent physiological sensations of human emotion, human love, human bonding, and feelings of well being.
"....[O]pioid receptor agonists can be used to decrease oxytocin levels in humans and animals..."
Not coincidentally, fentanyl, the specific synthetic opioid mentioned in the last screenshot that so many young adults are now becoming addicted to - just happens to be one of the opiates used in epidural anesthesia which has been given to millions of American women during hospital birth. It is not a coincidence that so many people who were born on this drug are now becoming addicted to it. We will discuss this in more detail later.
Incidentally, as you can see from the following images, synthetic opioids mimic the foundational chemical structure of natural oxytocin.
This is the chemical structure of natural oxytocin
This is the chemical structure of various synthetic opioids. Notice the mimicry of the central portion of the chemical structure of oxytocin.
(((The psychopaths))) involved in the pharmacological conjuring of these synthetic drugs take the basic foundational building blocks of natural oxytocin and scramble them in a variety of ways in order to create their synthetic oxytocin and endorphin mimickers. Naturally, ingestion or injection of these synthetic substitutes will also scramble human neurochemical anatomy, as will their new "vaccine."
The orchestrated attack on human emotions and our ability to love is nothing new for members of (((the tribe))) who also happen to control the medical system along with the mainstream media. (((They))) have been working at this biological assault against love for many decades and, in fact, it is the main reason they are using oxytocin mimickers like pitocin during hospital birth -- i.e., to deliberately create birth trauma, interfere with the mother/child bond, undermine successful breastfeeding, and ultimately cause permanent brain damage in the newborn. This is also why medical personnel will do everything they can to get pitocin into the body of a laboring mother, even if it means waiting until the third stage of labor when the placenta is being born -- i.e., to disturb bonding and breastfeeding.
Please note that synthetic or exogenous oxytocin [i.e., pitocin] can interfere with the natural production and regulation of oxytocin. Therefore, every time these medical sorcerers pump pitocin into the body of a birthing mother, they are interfering with her ability to love her child and to bond with, nurture, and breastfeed her child successfully.
And because these synthetic oxytocin mimickers undermine the production and release of natural oxytocin during labor and birth, the baby's oxytocin receptor sites will be damaged.
Here is an excerpt from my book, Birth Trauma and the Dark Side of Modern Medicine, about this topic.
Pitocin is artificial/synthetic oxytocin. Its use during labor tricks the mother's brain and interferes with her ability to produce natural oxytocin. If natural oxytocin is not pumping through mom's body during childbirth, her ability to bond with, breastfeed, and experience love for her baby is severely undermined. Not surprisingly, Pitocin use during labor disrupts bonding and breastfeeding and damages the newborn's oxytocin receptor sites for life.
"Oxytocin is centrally related to our natural capacity to give birth. When we have a scheduled C-section, for example, there is no oxytocin release in the mother's brain, and thus a severe interruption in the establishment of the postnatal oxytocin circuitry wiring in the newborn…
[A]fter just 3 or 4 generations of highly technological childbirth, it seems very possible that our human oxytocin system is weakening."
What this means is that any infant born to a mother given this diabolical drug during the birth process can grow into a brain damaged adult that may become habitually depressed and have difficulty creating healthy relationships and/or experiencing human love throughout life. The use of this drug during labor is not only undermining the bonds of love between mother and child, but also the child's potential to be happy later in life.
Furthermore, if we want to understand why so many people are becoming addicted to drugs like Oxycodone, we need only look to their damaged oxytocin receptor sites and recognize that these wounded souls are desperately trying to attain feelings of well‑being that should come naturally to them but do not because of the drugs they were exposed to early in life."
And so children that are born on synthetic drugs that mimic oxytocin (e.g., pitocin, demerol, morphine, and fentanyl - found in epidurals] are HIGHLY likely to become addicted to synthetic opioid drugs later in life. This is because the children/teens are brain damaged and unable to produce and secrete oxytocin normally -- which can lead to depression and a pervasive feeling of unease. To relieve the unbearable feelings brought on by lack of parental love and the difficulty in secreting and regulating natural oxytocin, these young people are highly likely to reach for synthetic drugs just like the ones they were born on in order to achieve a temporary sense of well being.
Here is another excerpt from my book, Birth Trauma and the Dark Side of Modern Medicine.
"I find the hypocrisy about drug use astonishing. In the U.S., it appears that women who smoke or drink alcohol in pregnancy can be publicly chastised; if they take heroin, or other street drugs, they can find themselves in jail or threatened with removal of the baby and their other children. But no one raises even a murmur about the far more powerful addictive drugs that are used on the labor ward, and no one appears concerned about the effects these drugs can have on a still-developing fetal brain.
There are plenty of studies examining the immediate effects of drugs in labour, but where are the studies examining the long-term effects? By that I mean effects that can emerge, 5, 10, 20 or even 50 years later.
I suggest we are sitting on a time bomb, and we persist in ignoring the research because of the horrendous implications. No one wants to admit that their care is creating drug addicts, but I believe the overuse of drugs in pregnancy and childbirth is doing just that.
In a well-designed case control study at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm in 1990, researchers compared children exposed to pain-relieving drugs in labour with those who were not exposed and discovered an increased risk of drug addiction later in life (Jacobson et al., 1990). In 1988 they showed that when nitrous oxide was given to the mother, the child was five and one-half times more likely to become an amphetamine addict than a brother or sister born to the same parents. In their paper in the British Medical Journal (1990), patients who had died from opiate addiction were compared with brothers and sisters; the researchers found that if the mothers had been given opiates or barbiturates or larger doses of nitrous oxide, the risk to the child of opiate addiction in later life was increased 4.7 times. In a further study, researchers discovered that the risk of drug addiction was related to the hospital in which they were born. In other words, the likelihood of a child developing drug addiction in later life depended on the labour ward policies of the hospital the mother chose for the birth, and I quote: "For the amphetamine addicts, hospital of birth was found to be an important risk factor even after controlling for residential area" (Nyberg, 1993). Jacobson and Nyberg's research suggests that the use of opiates, barbiturates and nitrous oxide in labour causes imprinting in the babies, and we are now reaping the whirlwind.
In 1984, Desmond Bardon suggested that a significant proportion of the millions of children and youths in the United States who are afflicted with significant mental and neurologic dysfunction are the victims of obstetric medications administered… to the mother during labour and birth... Not only have Bardon's concerns not been addressed, but since that time even more women and babies have been subjected to high levels of drugs in pregnancy and labor, and little has been done to investigate the possibility that the huge increases in drug addiction and associated crime are a direct result of the drugs used on the labour wards. While various agencies work hard to pull the bodies out of the river, no one is investigating who is pushing them…"

Incidentally, Pitocin and Oxycodone have very similar chemical formulas, which can be seen from the image below. It would be an interesting study to find out how many Oxycodone addicts were born to mothers who were given Pitocin or some other version of synthetic oxytocin during birth.
Here is a good description of what synthetic opiates do - but please take note of the twisted claim that scientists "soon figured out that morphine had a chemical structure similar to endorphins" -- when in fact morphine was created based on the chemical structure of endorphins. Endorphins came first. They are from The Creator. Morphine and other synthetic mimickers came much later. They are the product of The Creator's adversary.
"The scientists... soon figured out that the active ingredient in all these opiates - morphine - had a chemical structure similar to endorphins, a class of chemicals present in the brain . Endorphins are feel-good chemicals naturally-manufactured in the brain when the body experiences pain or stress. They are called the natural opiates of the body.
Endorphins flood the space between nerve cells and usually inhibit neurons from firing, thus creating an analgesic effect. On a lower level they can excite neurons as well. When endorphins do their work, the organism feels good, high, or euphoric, and feels relief from pain [analgesia]. Logically, endorphin levels go up when a person exercises, goes into labor, or is stressed out. Although they seem to be triggered by stress, endorphins can do more than relieve pain, they actually make us feel good.
Like an evil twin, the morphine molecule locks onto the endorphin-receptor sites on nerve endings in the brain and begins the succession of events that leads to euphoria or analgesia.
This imposter is more powerful than the body's own endorphins because the organism can actually control how much of the feel-good chemical hits the brain. Since we are all pleasure-seeking organisms, the motivation to self-administer such a drug is easy to understand.
The drawback, of course, is addiction."
Yes indeed. The drawback is, of course, addiction which has been wholly orchestrated by the scientific and medical community who have DELIBERATELY toyed with our neurochemical anatomy through the use of their toxic synthetic opioid drugs.
Problem - Reaction - Solution
(((They))) created the problem. (((They))) rile people up through their media propaganda. And now (((they))) are getting ready to introduce their extremely evil and Orwellian "solution" -- which could potentially change the face of humanity forever.

Pitocin (Oxytocin), Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy, Cerebral Palsy and Birth Injuries
How Does Pitocin Cause Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE) and Birth Injuries?
The placenta is a remarkably resilient organ. It can easily handle problems that develop naturally. However, the impatience of the medical team taking care of the mother and baby during labor and delivery can pose a threat. Inappropriate use of Pitocin/Oxytocin is dangerous and can seriously hinder the ability of the placenta to deliver oxygen to the baby.
The placenta is embedded in the wall of the uterus. It consists of a network of the mother's blood vessels lying next to vessels on the baby's side of the circulation, across which oxygen and nutrients flow. When the uterus contracts, the flow of blood and oxygen in or out of the placenta slows or stops. Between contractions, the placenta is "at rest" and blood and oxygen flow freely. During a contraction, flow stops or is slowed. For the placenta to work properly, there must be sufficient time between contractions for the placenta to recharge with a fresh supply of blood and oxygen.
Excessive Pitocin/Oxytocin can cause contractions to occur less than 2-3 minutes apart, thereby reducing the ability of the placenta to replenish its oxygen supply. Excessive frequency of contractions is called hyperstimulation. When contractions occur too frequently or are too strong, the baby's brain may not be receiving adequate oxygen, which can cause brain damage resulting in cerebral palsy, intellectual impairments and other lifelong disabilities.
Pitocin (Oxytocin), Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy, Cerebral Palsy and Birth Injuries
The Dangers of Pitocin and Oxytocin
Hyperstimulation with Pitocin/Oxytocin is dangerous because there are no precise methods of measuring the effects of oxytocin on the uterus, and both internal and external monitoring techniques leave much to be desired. In addition to having uncertain effects on the uterus, Pitocin/Oxytocin is unpredictable. The effects of any given dose vary widely. They can range from excessive and severe contractions and fetal asphyxia to absolutely no discernible effect on uterine contractility. Furthermore, the drug starts to work very slowly. A standard dose doesn't reach its full potential until 40 minutes after administration. Thus if the medical team administers additional doses of Pitocin/Oxytocin sooner than 40 minutes after the previous dose was administered, another dose will have been given before the full effects of the first dose were known to the team.
Given the precarious nature of Pitocin/Oxytocin, it is easy to understand why, in 2009, the Institute for Safe Medication Practices added Oxytocin to its list of "high alert medications," a distinction reserved for only 11 other drugs. In fact, Pitocin/Oxytocin is the drug most commonly associated with preventable adverse events during childbirth. Research shows that Oxytocin's dose related effects can cause contractions to be less than 2-3 minutes apart, which will cause the baby's oxygen saturation to progressively decrease. Indeed, Pitocin/Oxytocin can cause severe distress and damage to the baby, as well as serious complications and injuries to the mother.
Birth Injuries Associated with Pitocin and Oxytocin
In addition to causing a drop in the baby's oxygen level, Pitocin and excessive uterine contractions are one of the most significant risk factors for the baby's blood being very acidic at birth (fetal acidemia), which can cause damage to all the cells in the body, especially in the baby's delicate brain.
The following are complications associated with Pitocin/Oxytocin use:
Fetal Distress
Hypertentsion (increased blood pressure)
Bradycardia (slow heart rate)
Heart rate decelerations
Tachycardia (fast heart rate)
Cardiac arrhythmia (disruptions in the heart's normal rhythm)
Asphyxia or hypoxic ischemic injury (severely deficient supply of oxygen to the body)
Fetal acidemia
Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy and cerebral palsy
Neonatal seizures
Low Apgar scores
Retinal hemorrhages (abnormal bleeding of the blood vessels in the eye)
Fetal head trauma, including brain hemorrhages
Neonatal Jaundice, hyperbilirubinemia
Many injuries can occur when physicians attempt to prolong a vaginal delivery instead of performing an indicated C-section. Improper use of labor hastening drugs and vacuum extractors and forceps can cause very serious and permanent injuries. It therefore is essential that the medical team involved in labor and delivery be skilled in all obstetrical procedures and follow recommended guidelines and standards of care.
Maternal Complications and Injuries Associated with Pitocin (Oxytocin)
Pitocin is one of the most common causes of uterine rupture. A recent study found that in one medical center, Pitocin had been administered in 77% of uterine rupture cases. Maternal Injuries and complications associated with Pitocin / Oxytocin include the following:
Strong and prolonged uterine contractions
Uterine rupture
Postpartum hemorrhage (greater than normal loss of blood after delivery)
Water intoxication (too much water in the system that causes an electrolyte imbalance, which can cause potentially fatal brain disturbances)
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (bleeding between the brain and the thin tissue that covers it)
Tachycardia, bradycardia, premature ventricular contractions and other cardiac arrhythmias
Impaired uterine blood flow
Hypotension (low blood pressure)
Hypertension (high blood pressure)
Anaphylaxis (a life-threatening allergic reaction)
Nausea and vomiting
Pelvic hematoma (accumulation of blood in the soft tissues of the pelvis)
Recommended Use of Pitocin
Delivery by C-section is not as dangerous as it once was, and in fact, C-section is relatively safe in the United States. For this reason, as well as Oxytocin's potential for dangerous complications, current research does not recommend exceeding established physiologic levels of uterine activity in order to force a vaginal birth. In fact, it is recommended that Pitocin / Oxytocin be used for labor induction only when the risk of continuing the pregnancy presents a threat to the life of the baby or mother. In other words, Pitocin / Oxytocin is not to be used to electively induce labor – its use is recommended only for unplanned, emergency induction of labor.
Pitocin/Oxytocin is contraindicated when the following situations are present:
Substantial cephalopelvic disproportion
Unfavorable fetal position or presentation
Obstetrical emergencies whereby maternal or fetal risk-to-benefit ratio favors surgery
Fetal distress in which delivery is not imminent
Umbilical cord prolapse
Uterine activity fails to progress adequately
Hyperactive or hypertonic uterus
Vaginal delivery is contraindicated
Uterine or surgical scarring from previous C-section or major cervical or uterine surgery
Unengaged fetal head
History of hypersensitivity of Oxytocin
Negligent Use of Pitocin and Oxytocin
In 2009, the AJOG issued a Clinical Opinion in which it made the following recommendations for Oxytocin administration:
Oxytocin should be started at relatively low doses.
Proper fetal monitoring must be utilized.
Contractions are considered acceptable if the contractions have a consistent strength and rate or they have a consistent pattern of 1 contraction every 2 – 3 minutes lasting 80 – 90 seconds and are strong.
Once acceptable contractions have been met, there is no justification for additional increases in Oxytocin dose.
Oxytocin should be aggressively titrated to the lowest dose compatible with sustained levels of appropriate uterine activity.
Delivery by C-section (not more Oxytocin) is indicated when acceptable levels of uterine activity have been met at the lowest dose, but the labor is not progressing in a suitable manner.
Pitocin and Oxytocin have long been recognized as dangerous, and researchers have concluded that the well-being of the fetus may be in jeopardy when Oxytocin induced hyperstimulation occurs during labor. It therefore is very important that Pitocin/Oxytocin be used conservatively, that the drug is used for non-elective, emergency induction of labor and fetal monitoring is done.
If the medical team treating a mother and baby during labor and delivery does not act in a manner consistent with these guidelines, it is negligence. If this negligence results in injury to the baby or mother, it is medical malpractice.

For thousands of years, Rh- mothers have been giving birth to their children and there were no problems with blood mixing. The issue of blood mixing has surfaced only recently and appears to be related to medical interventions that traumatize the womb. Any procedure that involves penetrating the womb with a sharp object is an issue because this can cause bleeding. The bleeding is what leads to the blood mixing and is what causes a mother to mount an antibody response to her own baby.
The following is a short list of medical procedures that can contribute to an Rh- mother developing antibodies against her own child.
- Amniocentisis
- Fetal blood screening
- Chorionic villus sampling (CVS)
- Ultrasound (can cause bleeding from fetal vessels into maternal circulation)
A mother who has had a prior blood transfusion, prior abortion and/or a prior miscarriage involving a D&C or other surgical procedure that involves scraping the uterus has an increased chance of developing antibodies against her future children.
Every one of these invasive procedures is an iatrogenically-induced trauma to the womb and puts Rh- mothers and their babies at risk.
The medical system itself is THE problem and their solution is deadly. The Rhogam shot is a mixture of OTHER WOMEN"S BLOOD!!! These are women that developed an antibody response to their own babies. Putting a mixture of other people's blood into your own body is likely to cause autoimmune problems as well as microchimerism. Cells from genetically different individuals remain in the mother's body and cause confusion in the immune system. The foreign Rh antibodies can cause a negative immune response in either or both mother and baby.
Additionally, the rhogam shot contains dangerous heavy metals that can lead to neurological problems in both mother and baby. These metals include both mercury and aluminum -- both well known neurotoxins. The shot also contains polysorbate 80 which is known to cause infertility. According to one source, 62% of autistic children have mothers that were given Rhogam during pregnancy.
What the medical system is offering is deadly and highly toxic. Say NO to their deadly interventions and avoid them as much as possible during pregnancy and beyond.

Rhogam and Pregnancy: Stealth Mercury Assault
There have been far too many moms at my seminars the last 3 months reacting with alarm, surprise and anger to my cautioning them regarding giving Rhogam during pregnancy. As you can guess, these moms received the rhogam injections during their pregnancy and are now caring for neurologically injured children. They were never aware that these shots could be harmful to their fetus. It is frightening to contemplate how many mothers are getting these shots while pregnant without realizing the potential for fetal neurological damage. What's the deal?
Rhogam is a human gamma globulin (antibodies) directed against the Rh positive factor of blood. It is given to Rh negative mothers who give birth to Rh positive babies. The shot is designed to prevent these moms from becoming sensitized to the baby, rh+ blood. Once the mom becomes sensitized to this rh factor, there is the possibility of mom's immune system destroying the red blood cells of her next child. Historically, babies born after mom's immune system destroyed their blood cells acquire hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN). 1 These babies require exchange transfusions after they are born. Such transfusions can now be done in utero.
To prevent rh- moms from becoming sensitized to baby rh+ blood. Rhogam is usually given within 72 hours after the birth of the rh+ baby. 2 There is a likelihood of baby blood, only 15 ml is needed, mixing with mom's blood during the birth process when the placental membrane breakdown. During pregnancy there is no mixing of mother's blood with baby blood. Giving mom rhogam after the baby's birth is sufficient to reduce the risk of HDN in her next child to about 1-2%. Rhogam is also indicated if the mom has an abortion, either natural or induced, or has abdominal trauma or an amniocentesis. Giving rhogam during pregnancy can reduce the risk of HDN by less than 1%. 2 It is doubtful that the slight benefit acquired by giving rhogam during pregnancy outweighs the risks to the fetus from the injection.
So what is the problem with giving the rhogam during pregnancy? The standard rhogam preparations contain the mercury compound, thimerosal. We commonly link this preservative with vaccines. Rhogam is a type of vaccine but not a vaccine directed against an infectious disease. The PDR cautions that the use of rhogam during pregnancy can have adverse effects on the fetus, 2. The high mercury content of the rhogam preparation can have serious neurological consequences on the developing fetus. Hair analysis of unvaccinated children born from mom's injected with rhogam demonstrate the presence of mercury. It is essential that these babies seek appropriate medical care to chelate and remove this mercury as soon as possible. How many babies have suffered permanent damage due to mercury toxicity from this desire to reduce the risk of HDN by less than 1% by injecting pregnant mothers?
How do we avoid damaging these children? First, mom's should question the rationale for injecting them while pregnant. Second, if rhogam administration during pregnancy is absolutely necessary then mom's should demand mercury free rhogam. Many moms report to me that their physicians blow them off when confronted with the request for mercury free rhogam or say that such a product is not yet available. The reality is that mercury-free rhogam is available in this country from Bayer Pharmaceuticals under their product name of BayRoh-D. This mercury free product has been available sine 1996. Their number is 800-468-0894.

Photographic Series Shows What Happens When You Stop Drinking
We're constantly told that everything should be done in moderation, and this is especially true when it comes to the consumption of alcohol.
It's a well known fact that too much alcohol can cause high blood pressure (which increases the risk of a heart attack or stroke), lethargy, can contribute to you becoming overweight, as well as a multitude of other health related issues.
While it is obviously difficult to go 'cold turkey' and give up the drink for good, this photo series shows the amazing visual results of doing so. Of course many of the people featured in these before and after photos complimented quitting alcohol with a balanced diet and exercise, the pictures nevertheless show us the dramatic difference the alcohol can make to your mind and body!

Planned Parenthood suggests 'pooping' on partner for teen 'sexual exploration'
Just because the folks at Planned Parenthood don't really do mammograms with the tax dollars they get doesn't mean they're not experts in some things. Take, for example, the Planned Parenthood counselor who told what she thought was a 15-year-old girl about the sexy side of defecating.
Pro-life advocacy group Live Action released a second investigative video on July 15 showing what Planned Parenthood "counselors" teach minors in the name of "sex-ed": sexual bondage and sadomasochism, and steering them to sex stores to "get educated." In the latest video, a Colorado counselor told the Live Action investigator (posing as a minor) that "sexual exploration is normal" – and went so far as to suggest defecating and urinating on men as an option. Really. Only conservative media found the film worth reporting. Video Below.
SEXED: Dangerous Sex Advice for Kids (Episode 2)
According to the counselor, "sexual exploration" is "normal" and "can be really fun." For ideas to imitate, she referenced "50 Shades of Grey" as well as porn. She even offered some creative techniques of her own: "There are so many different fetishes out there" she stressed. "Like, some guys like for women to urinate on them" or "pooping."
As the latest installment of the investigative series "SexEd: Planned Parenthood's Dangerous Sex Advice for Kids," the video continued the message of the first: defund Planned Parenthood. Live Action's new campaign asks Americans to sign a petition to halt the $500 million per year in taxpayer money that funds Planned Parenthood.
This particular Colorado clinic received additional taxpayer funding for teen sex education through Obamacare.
In response, Live Action requested Colorado residents contact local officials. "Parents need to get on the phone right now," Live Action President Lila Rose stressed, "and ask their principals and superintendents, 'Do you have a relationship with Planned Parenthood? Are you okay with this sort of behavior being pushed on my children?'"
During a "Hannity" interview on July 15, Rose elaborated on Planned Parenthood: "Their interest is not protecting these girls. Their interest is abortion and in pushing a sexual ideology – a sexology – that's very destructive and dangerous on our teenagers."
Lila Rose Exposes Planned Parenthood on Hannity
As far as coverage, conservative media rushed to report on the story, including Hot Air, The Daily Signal, The Blaze, The Daily Caller, Breitbart, Jill Stanek's blog, LifeNews, LifeSiteNews, Christian Post, and Town Hall.
The liberal media remained silent. A search of Nexis showed how the (usually outspoken) liberal-leaning news outlets as well as the three broadcast networks offered no commentary on Planned Parenthood's latest sex "education" lesson to American teenagers.

This is great news. Now if they could only "discover" a way to allow these babies to really connect with the Earth (and the sun and their parents - as in kangaroo mother care), then we might really see some glowing results.

Grounding – Helping Premature Babies
Intensive care doctors have discovered that Mother Earth may boost the resilience of fragile, at-risk newborns.
The doctors found that grounding premature infants produced immediate and significant improvements in measurements of autonomic nervous system (ANS) functioning critically important in the regulation of inflammatory and stress responses.
The findings, by researchers at the Pennsylvania State University Children's Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in Hershey, were published in the journal Neonatology in June 2017.
Specifically, grounding the babies, clinically stable and from five to sixty days of age, strongly increased measures of heart rate variability (HRV) that indicated improved vagus nerve transmission. The vagus nerve, extending from the brainstem into the abdomen, is the main nerve of the parasympathetic division of the ANS. Its offshoots supply and regulate key organs, including the lungs, heart, and intestines. HRV refers to beat-to-beat alterations in heart rate, and is influenced by the sympathetic and parasympathetic branches of the ANS.
This is the first Earthing study conducted with babies. You can read the study abstract here.
Earlier, a 2011 study demonstrated that grounding rapidly improves HRV among adults, and generates a shift from an overactive sympathetic mode, associated with acceleration and stress, into a parasympathetic, or normalizing and calming mode.
If you improve your HRV you can reduce the likelihood of stress-related disorders.
Improved HRV occurred consistently among 20 babies in the new study when they were grounded during testing periods over 20 to 40 minutes. The improvement disappeared quickly when they were alternately disconnected from the Earth. Grounding was achieved by adhering a grounding patch on the skin of the babies, while in their incubators or cribs, and connecting the patch wire to the hospital's grounding system.
Among the babies tested, "grounding raised parasympathetic tone within minutes," says Charles Palmer, MB.ChB., a specialist in neonatology, and co-investigator in the study. "We obviously need more research to further prove that grounding may enhance vagus nerve transmission and thereby improve stress and inflammatory regulatory mechanisms in preterm infants."
Previously, Dr. Palmer and his research colleagues reported that decreased vagus nerve function is a "valuable marker of vulnerability to stress" in premature infants, including an indicator of risk for necrotizing enterocolitis, a serious intestinal disorder that affects about 5-10 percent of preemies. The condition has an inflammatory component that could adversely affect critical cells protecting nerve tissue and thus possibly undermine development of the nervous system.
During the last fifteen years research has revealed that the vagus nerve plays a major role in the so-called "anti-inflammatory reflex," a mechanism that controls basic immune responses and inflammation during pathogen invasion and tissue injury. Among other things, the nerve's actions help to inhibit excessive production of pro-inflammatory chemicals.
Previous grounding studies have led to a hypotheses that grounding reduces inflammation as a result of electrons from the Earth entering the body and neutralizing free radicals involved in chronic inflammation. The fact that grounding improves vagus tone in adults, and apparently also in infants, offers another mechanism as to how grounding reduces inflammation in the body.
It is interesting to note also that diminished vagus nerve function is associated with autism. Anecdotal feedback indicates that grounding may help reduce some symptoms of this condition, as we have reported in the Earthing book.
The Penn State researchers also reported that grounding immediately and substantially reduced skin voltage induced on the babies from ambient electric fields radiating from surrounding medical and incubator equipment. Such voltage may have a stress effect on premature babies. In a 2005 published study and again in 2016, Earthing has been shown to significantly reduce induced voltage on the body.
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly a half-million American babies are born preterm annually, or 1 of every 8 infants. Preterm means a baby is born prior to 37 weeks of pregnancy. Preterm-related causes of death account for about 35 percent of all infant deaths, and more than any other single cause, and is also a leading contributor to long-term neurological disabilities in children.
And organized Jewry is quivering in its boots. BUT HOW WILL WE MIND CONTROL THE CHILDREN TO BECOME HOMOSEXUALS AND TRANSGENDER???? HOW WILL WE PREP THEM FOR PEDOPHILA IF WE DON'T CONTROL THEIR "EDJEWCATION?"

Trump to pull feds out of K-12 education
President Trump signed an executive order Wednesday to start pulling the federal government out of K-12 education, following through on a campaign promise to return school control to state and local officials.
The order, dubbed the "Education Federalism Executive Order," will launch a 300-day review of Obama-era regulations and guidance for school districts and directs Education Secretary Betsy DeVos to modify or repeal measures she deems an overreach by the federal government.
"For too long the government has imposed its will on state and local governments. The result has been education that spends more and achieves far, far, far less," Mr. Trump said. "My administration has been working to reverse this federal power grab and give power back to families, cities [and] states — give power back to localities."
He said that previous administrations had increasingly forced schools to comply with "whims and dictates" from Washington, but his administration would break the trend.
"We know local communities know it best and do it best," said Mr. Trump, who was joined by several Republican governors for the signing. "The time has come to empower teachers and parents to make the decisions that help their students achieve success."
Ms. DeVos and Vice President Mike Pence were on hand for the ceremony, which was attended by about 25 people, including teachers, lawmakers and the governors.
The executive order is not expected to have an immediate impact on school districts. Policy changes will follow a report on the findings of the review.
The review will be spearheaded by the Department of Education's Regulatory Review Task Force, according to the order.
Ms. DeVos already has authority to modify or repeal regulations that are deemed a violation of federal law. The order, however, creates a review for identifying those areas and makes clear her mandate from the president to take action.
Reducing the federal government's role in K-12 is part of Mr. Trump's reform agenda, which also includes the expansion of school choice programs.
Among those at the signing ceremony were Govs. Kay Ivey of Alabama, Gary Herbert of Utah, Paul LePage of Maine, Brian Sandoval of Nevada and Terry Branstad of Iowa, who also is Mr. Trump's nominee for ambassador to China.
Also in attendance were Sen. Lamar Alexander of Tennessee and Rep. Virginia Foxx of North Carolina, the Republican chairs of the two chambers' education committees.

Binge drinking teenagers 'damaging brain development'
US study points to genetic changes making teenagers more prone to alcoholism and anxiety in later life
Teenagers who binge drink could be damaging the development of their brains, making them more prone to psychiatric disorders including alcoholism in later life, new US research suggests.
Lab tests found that rats exposed to intermittent doses of doses of alcohol during the adolescent phase of their development were more likely to display symptoms like anxiety in later life.
They were also more attracted to drink as adults than other rats, the tests at University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) found.
The study, published in the journal Neurobiology of Disease, found evidence that binge drinking effectively changed the shape of the DNA in the animals' brains at a crucial stage of their development.
Tissue analysis showed that the DNA was wrapped more tightly around proteins in those rats which had been exposed to binge drinking conditions as adolescents than in those which had not, as a result of chemical changes.
The team, led by Prof Subhash Pandey, director of neuroscience alcoholism research at UIC's Chicago College of Medicine, believe they have found the mechanism by which binge drinking affects people in later life.
"This may be the mechanism through which adolescent binge-drinking increases the risk for psychiatric disorders, including alcoholism, in adulthood," said Prof Pandey
But they also found that the effects could also potentially be treatable. When some of the rats were given a cancer drug, the DNA was observed to be less tightly coiled.
"We aren't sure if the drug needs to be given long term during adulthood in order to completely reverse the harmful effects of adolescent alcohol exposure," Prof Pandey added.
To simulate conditions like those of heavy drinking sessions in teenagers researchers took a group of four-week-old rats and gave them alcohol for two days, followed by two days off, repeating the pattern for almost a fortnight.
"Our study provides a mechanism for how binge-drinking during adolescence may lead to lasting [epigenetic] changes … that result in increased anxiety and alcoholism in adults," said Prof Pandey.
"Intermittent alcohol exposure degrades the ability of the brain to form the connections it needs to during adolescence.
"The brain doesn't develop as it should, and there are lasting behavioural changes associated with this."
Research published by the World Health Organisation last year ranked the UK among the worst countries in the world for binge drinking.
It found that 28 per cent of Britons were classed as having had episode of heavy drinking in the previous month – almost twice as much as the global average – putting the UK 13th highest for heavy drinking out of 196 countries – worse than Estonia, Ukraine, Belarus and Hungary.
But new figures from the Office for National Statistics published earlier this year show a significant decline in alcohol consumption in the UK in the last 10 years – especially among the young.
Binge drinking – measured as the number of people who had a heavy drinking session in the week before the ONS General household Survey – fell by almost 17 per cent across the wider population between 2005 and 2013, but almost twice as fast among young people.
Strikingly, the number of under-25s who do not drink alcohol at all has leapt by 40 per cent in just eight years.
More than a quarter of young people abstain altogether. A third of people living in London – the youngest region of the UK in demographic terms – are now teetotal.
"[H]istory and experience have unfailingly shown that, whenever the Jews slate a country for destruction, pornography is the very, very first weapon they use against that doomed race, since pornography acts not only as a softener and decayer of the will, but also as its own natural, debilitating and enervating agent…"-- Ellie Katsnelson, quote found here
Below you will find disturbing information regarding what the Jews have done to our children. The bodies of young people are being destroyed as a result of the normalization of sodomy through pornography. Jews are wholly responsible for this filth (see here, here, here, here, here, and here) and for introducing pornography in American schools to children as young as five.
Six year old children in our Public Schools are shown videos promoting anal sex between males. The Jews have founded, funded and fronted every homosexual advocacy group in America."
When will the American people rise up against this evil Luciferian cult and say no more?

Pornography has changed the landscape of adolescence beyond all recognition
Excerpt: "...I'm afraid things are much worse than people suspect." In recent years, Sue had treated growing numbers of teenage girls with internal injuries caused by frequent anal sex; not, as Sue found out, because she wanted to, or because she enjoyed it – on the contrary – but because a boy expected her to. "I'll spare you the gruesome details," said Sue, "but these girls are very young and slight and their bodies are simply not designed for that."
Her patients were deeply ashamed at presenting with such injuries. They had lied to their mums about it and felt they couldn't confide in anyone else, which only added to their distress. When Sue questioned them further, they said they were humiliated by the experience, but they had simply not felt they could say no. Anal sex was standard among teenagers now, even though the girls knew that it hurt..."

As a study reveals a sharp rise in the number of schoolgirls at risk of emotional problems, Allison Pearson says we need to embolden our daughters to fight back against pornography - however embarrassing it may be
Sometimes you hear a story that is so awful that it refuses to leave your mind, no matter how fervently you beg it to go away.
I was told one such story recently by a family doctor. Readers of a squeamish disposition may want to look away now.
I was having dinner with a group of women when the conversation moved onto how we could raise happy, well-balanced sons and daughters who are capable of forming meaningful relationships in an age when internet pornography is as freely available as a glass of water. Porn has changed the landscape of adolescence beyond all recognition. Like other parents of our generation, we were on a journey without maps or lights, although the instinct to protect our children from the darkness was overwhelming.
A couple of the women present said that they had forced themselves to have toe-curlingly embarrassing conversations with their teenagers on the subject. "I want my son to know that, despite what he might see on his laptop, there are things you don't expect a girl to do on a first date, or a fifth date, or probably never," said Jo.
A GP, let's call her Sue, said: "I'm afraid things are much worse than people suspect." In recent years, Sue had treated growing numbers of teenage girls with internal injuries caused by frequent anal sex; not, as Sue found out, because she wanted to, or because she enjoyed it – on the contrary – but because a boy expected her to. "I'll spare you the gruesome details," said Sue, "but these girls are very young and slight and their bodies are simply not designed for that."
Her patients were deeply ashamed at presenting with such injuries. They had lied to their mums about it and felt they couldn't confide in anyone else, which only added to their distress. When Sue questioned them further, they said they were humiliated by the experience, but they had simply not felt they could say no. Anal sex was standard among teenagers now, even though the girls knew that it hurt.
There was stunned silence among the mothers around that dinner table, although I think some of us may have let out involuntary cries of dismay and disbelief.
For Sue's surgery isn't in some inner-city borough where kids may have been brutalised or come from cultures where such practices are commonly used as contraception. Sue works in the leafy heart of Hampshire. The girls presenting with incontinence were often under the age of consent and from loving, stable homes. Just the sort of kids who, only two generations ago, would have been enjoying riding and ballet lessons, and still looking forward to their first kiss, not being coerced into violent sex by some kid who picked up his ideas about physical intimacy from a dogging video on his mobile.
The harm, of course, is not just physical. A study this week revealed that the number of schoolgirls at risk of emotional problems has risen sharply. Scientists for the Journal of Adolescent Health were surprised to see a 7 per cent spike in only five years among girls aged 11 to 13 reporting emotional issues. Boys remained fairly stable while girls faced "unique pressures". Researchers said the causes could include the drive to achieve an unrealistic body shape, perpetuated by social media and an increasing sexualisation of young women.
Girls have always starved themselves in order to be more lovable, or maybe to have less of themselves to hate. The dreadful, recent death of Eloise Parry, a beautiful 21-year-old student poisoned by illegal "diet pills" in an attempt to keep her super-slim figure, is more proof than we can bear of that.
What is new and dangerous is the ability to post selfies, then wait for approval to come flooding in. You don't have to spend long with an insecure teenage girl (is there any other kind?) to work out that her happiness is tremulously yoked to the getting of Likes or little lovehearts on Facebook or Instagram.
Take that female insecurity, warp and magnify it in the internet Hall of Mirrors, add a longing to be "fit" and popular, then stir into an ubiquitous porn culture and you have a hellish recipe for sad, abused girls.
It explains why more than four in 10 girls between the ages of 13 and 17 in England say they have been coerced into sex acts, according to one of the largest European polls on teenage sexual experience. Recent research by the Universities of Bristol and Central Lancashire found that a fifth of girls had suffered violence or intimidation from their teenage boyfriends, a high proportion of whom regularly viewed pornography, with one in five boys harbouring "extremely negative attitides towards women".
The end result is what Sue sees in her work as a GP. Young girls – children, really – who abase themselves to pass for normal in a grim, pornified culture. Another study of British teenagers found that most youngsters' first experience of anal sex occurred within a relationship, but it was "rarely under circumstances of mutual exploration of sexual pleasure". Instead, it was boys who pushed the girls to try it, with boys reporting that they felt "expected" to take that role.
Moreover, both genders expected males to find pleasure in the act whereas females were mostly expected to "endure the negative aspects such as pain or a damaged reputation".
You don't need to be of the Mary Whitehouse persuasion to feel that something has gone catastrophically awry here. I'm still recovering from a tutor at my daughter's sixth-form college telling me he thought that at least a third of the girls in her year were depressed or self-harming. How much more proof do we need that young women are in crisis?
Claire Lilley, the head of child safety online at the NSPCC, says the latest research should be a wake-up call to government to make sure teenagers receive clear teaching about healthy sexual relationships. You bet it should. Demonstrating how to put a condom on a banana just won't cut it anymore, not when tens of thousands of girls are revealing "serious distress and harm following abusive behaviour from boyfriends".
Mature women can generally make up their own minds about what they are and aren't prepared to do in bed. That is a private matter among consenting adults, although I don't know a single woman who thinks that a man insisting on anal sex is anything other than a depersonalising act of aggression. For inexperienced teenage girls it's a different matter. Their whole sexting culture sends them one crude, insidious message: buggers must be choosers.
However embarrassing it may be, we need to educate and embolden our daughters to fight back against pornography, which is warping the behaviour of boys who are supposed to be their lovers, not their abusers. Anything that hurts and humiliates you is never OK. I suggest that future sex education classes begin with this joke:
"I asked my wife to try anal sex. 'Sure,' she said: 'You first.'"
PS: I just texted my own teenager for her view. She texted back: "A lot of truth to this. I think dubious consent is the greatest problem of my generation."
