1. First, he agrees strongly with my point on methodological individualism. Humans act, aggregates don't. That goes without saying. What a lot of people leap to from that is that methodologically any scientific study of aggregates needs to be built up from individual action. We know enough about complex systems by now to no how dangerous that is. And even if it wasn't dangerous, it's clearly a less efficient way of doing science. There's an interesting discussion in the comment section where Ryan Murphy tries to defend methodological individualism, but I don't think it really holds up.
You never hear physicists talk like this, I should note. They study the aggregate of all things in the known universe (i.e. - the known universe) as cosmologists (indeed, they're even throwing unknown universes into the mix!), and they study incomprehensibly small sub-atomic particles, and everything in between. And sometimes they try to conform the theories governing the small stuff to the theories governing the big stuff, and sometimes vice versa.
Why don't they argue about this sort of thing? A less charitable person would say that economics is plagued with sophistry and philosophizing and isn't a real science. Obviously I think that's dead wrong. The reason why we do this and physicists don't is, of course, that nothing in the spectrum of the things that physicists study can really be said to have "agency". We've convinced ourselves that the human animal has "agency" (whatever that means exactly), which is what introduces the debate in the first place. Physicists have nothing like that to worry about, and they get along find. They study what seems useful to study. We should do that too.
2. OK, he doesn't link me in this one, but this discussion of the Ron Paul newsletters is good and we've had these same points made back and forth here at F&OST. I've really appreciated the inside scoop on the Mises Institute from both Gene and Bob, and it all sounds credible to me. This point is worth responding to, I think: "So does this disqualify Paul from deserving support for the GOP nomination? It sure would... if every other candidate was not saber rattling at Iran. I'm sorry, but when it comes down to choosing between a candidate who let someone use his name to make some really tasteless jokes about minorities, and a candidate who is likely to kill 100,000 Iranians... well, sorry, mass killing just seems a bit worse to me than racial boorishness."
It is an uncharacteristically ambiguous paragraph for Gene, which leaves a lot to your own gallivanting imagination about what it is he could mean (more on this below). Who is going to kill 100,000 Iranians and why are they going to be killed? Under certain scenarios, I would agree that a tainted Ron Paul is better than mass killings, but the nature of this mass killing is left a little unclear. If we just invade Iran under a Romney or a Santorum because Ahmadinejad looks at us funny, that would be horrific. But I think Gene puts a much higher probability on that than I do, and it's not clear to me why he does. I think Obama, Santorum, Romney, and Paul are all about equally likely to pull a George Bush on Iran, which is to say they are all extremely unlikely to do this. Gene clearly disagrees with my assessment on that. Now, what if Iran gives nukes to al Qaeda who then use them somewhere and - bolstered by the chaos - then fires a barrage of missiles into Israel. If that's why we go in to Iran, then I would say that's a damn good reason to go into Iran, and I would worry that Ron Paul might not. In addition, I'd worry that Ron Paul might stop collecting intelligence on Iran. I'm also worried Ron Paul might let al Qaeda and Taliban forces gather strength in the Af-Pak border area. While I don't like Santorum, and find Romney only somewhat more encouraging I'm not worried about either of them failing on these counts. And these are the steps that are important for preventing a war with Iran. So, needless to say, I think Gene's vagueness on the Iran point allows him to make a false choice - a false choice that's not really in front of us. If I had to choose between the newsletters and a senseless war with Iran, of course I would choose the newsletters. But that's not the issue at hand, Gene! That's not the choice we have to make!
3. Which brings me to his post about me and Obama and Iran. I'm getting a much better sense of what Gene meant when he made his cheery Christmas day suggestion that "Obama has threatened war with Iran". He didn't elaborate, but it sounded pretty serious to me (and I was not updated on the news), yet when I looked around for what he could be talking about all I found was Obama saying that "all options were on the table". That seemed trivial to me. Of course all options are on the table. Gene's newest post seems to confirm that's all he meant. If what Gene meant is that Obama made a conditional threat, then OK I can agree to that. But who cares? That conditional threat is always implicit, isn't it? If Syria invades Israel, we are in all likelihood going to go to war with Syria. If Russia invades Europe we are in all likelihood going to go to war with Russia. If North Korea invades South Korea we are in all likelihood going to go to war with North Korea. And in each of those three cases we probably should. So? It just seems misleading to me if, say, Obama talks tough in negotiation with North Korea, to say that he "threatened war with North Korea". No - what he would be doing is making our intentions crystal clear to a belligerent government.
By Gene's definition, the only way we wouldn't be "threatening war" is if we made a credible commitment to never wage war with any country ever. Anything else would be "threatening war" to Gene because we are leaving the option of war on the table - implicitly or explicitly - if certain conditions are met. That seems like a completely useless and unintuitive definition of "threatening war" to me. Gene seems genuinely committed to it, so I'll retract my suggestion that he was being "deceptive" and instead note that Gene is simply being unintelligible and unintuitive on this one.

I proposed an idea to the teacher to have his students create mix-media artwork using a simple intaglio printmaking technique (drypoint) and combining this with collage of thin coloured papers.
As a multi-discipline visual artist the miniature size is something I have explored in the past and have had a few small prints included in miniature exhibitions both here in Canada and one in Denmark.
hand-coloured photogravure print
plate size: 8 cm
varied open edition
I drew a simple landscape study of organic tree shapes. My idea was to incorporate colours and shapes through the collage application of thin asian colour tissue papers (known as chine-collé). My design is loosely based on a block print I created several years back titled Moon & Forest.
Moon and Forest
block based relief print
image size: 10 cm x 10 cm
Due to the size of the plate this presented a challenge for incorporating very small pieces of the paper.
However it wasn't impossible and I am pleased with the results I have been getting using this.
Below is a short video I made from the intial simple sketch on paper through the scratching with the result linework in the surface of the plate. You will notice that placing the clear plate against a black background reveals the details rather nicely.
My plate is made from a flexible type of clear thin acrylic plastic that is used in the packaging industry. I was able to place my pencil sketch underneath and view it through the plastic. Using a sharp needle point tool I basically traced my sketch into the surface using scratching strokes.
Akua intaglio carbon black ink was wiped into the scratch marks and then using wiping fabric (a thin web-type material I sourced from a local fabric shop) I removed excess ink from the surface of the plate. A piece of thin paper (old yellow pages from a phone book) was pressed and rubbed using a circular motion to remove additional surface ink. This is the same process many printmakers use when inking a plate (etching) in preparation for printing.
First I made one test print on rag paper using just the black ink to show me how the scratch line would reproduce. Akua intaglio ink was used and I added a little bit of mag-mix (magnesium carbonate powder) to thicken the rather runny ink (which is vegetable oil based).
I used the plate edges as a guide to trim the small pieces of asian paper to the same dimensions as the plate. The tricky part was then to determine where each piece would be placed. I put the plate (ink side) facing upwards on the press bed. I carefully placed the tissue thin paper on top and moved it into place using the point of an x-acto blade. A fine mist of water was sprayed onto the plate surface to slightly dampen the tissue. A fine dusting of wheat paste powder (strained through cheesecloth stretched over the opening of the jar it was in) was applied.
Finally I set a slightly moist piece of 250 gm rag printmaking paper over top.
A piece of newsprint was put over top and then the three layers of wool felts were carefully lowered over top of everything, I manually turned the press handles and passed the plate, papers and blankets underneath the top roller which I had set earlier to produce a fairly tight squeeze.
The pressure forced both the tissue thin asian paper on top of the plate and the rag down into the areas holding the ink. This left the ink on the surface of the colour papers and the pressure fused these with the fine layer of adhesive onto the rag paper. It allowed me to incorporate colour and texture through the simple application of collage. So far I have produced 3 test prints. Two of these use the collage application. You will notice in one I carefully cut out a circular shape to allow me to have a moon behind the tree.
This artistic endeavour in the classroom should prove to be both exciting and challenging for the grade five and six students. I will follow up on this post soon with photos of what they have been producing.

Dancehall star Vybz Kartel has escaped from a prison in Jamaica, after holding a prison guard at gun point which resulted in his death.
According to reports, the 35-year-old dancehall, whose real name is Adidja Palmer, fled the prison last night after he held an officer at gun point, which caused the guard to suffer a fatal heart attack.
The famous dancehall star, who has worked with big names including Jay-Z, Rihanna and Eminem, was being held at the Horizon Adult Remand Centre after he was charged with murder, conspiracy to murder and illegal possession of a firearm last month.
In what TaleTela website is calling Jamaica's biggest prison escape ever, Kartel allegedly started a riot at the prison around 1am local time, where he was being held pending investigation over his possible involvement in up to seven murders. After stealing clothes and keys from guards, he made his escape in a prison maintenance pickup truck at approximately 1.45am.
Twelve other guards are also said to be have injured after guns were fired at the prison.
The Force Commissioner of the Criminal Investigations Branch confirmed today that Vybz Kartel is on the run and that he and the other escapees are now on the island's most wanted list.

When reviewing these charts please keep in mind that they only cover condominiums located within the Seattle city-limits and are based on statistics gathered by the Northwest Multiple Listing Service. Please contact me if you would like a report customized for your neighborhood or zip code.
Most of the charts are fairly self-explanatory, but here are a couple of terms that might be useful to know:
- For Sale numbers are a snapshot of the number of properties for sale at the end of the month.
- Pended numbers represent the number of properties that went into the "pending" status that month, i.e. there was an accepted offer.
- New Listing numbers represent the number of properties that are newly listed in that month.
- Sold numbers represent the number of properties that are sold for that month.

Our philosophy:
Filly by Eurocommerce Dubai born 2008
Horse breeding is an exhaustless theme and full of passion. We are completely specialised on breeding show jumping horses. Leaned against the Holstein thought of line breeding, we always try to be up to date and not to miss out the transformations of the quickly changing show jumping sport. We use bloodlines from all over Europe. Strictest selection of our breeding mares is self-evident. A brood mare can only pass something on, what she possesses herself. The stallion selection is made under close study of the top sport.
The same horse 4 years later
High intelligence, excellent motivation, paired with prompt reflexes, extreme attention and time-saving cantering characterize the modern successful show jumping horse.
The sanitary requirements on the today's show jumping horses have rised also. A breeding appropriate for horses in a herd with 24h continuing movement and permanent access to feed is inevitable.

So last Monday we were super happy to be attending a red carpet event at the Guthrie thrown by ForeverTV for Twin Cities wedding industry professionals! What can I say? We had a blast! I attended the swanky affair with my husband (& Laura Whitney Couture's web guru) Dylan and our good friend Holly. Of course we HAD to arrive in style so we took the Comet which is always fun especially when you're fabulously dressed! So Dylan, in his ultra cool vintage tuxedo and I, in my red bombshell dress, swung over to pick up Holly and then were off the the big event.
When we arrived we walked the red carpet and headed inside. ForeverTV host Amanda Day was outside filming an episode, interviewing several of the guests. Once inside, the party started without hesitation. If you've never been, the interior of the Guthrie is seriously posh! We're talkin' swank-tastic! Several talented bartenders were serving up cocktails & well dressed waiters carried around trays of nibbles while a DJ pumped out surprisingly good beats. If you were elsewhere in Minneapolis that night wondering "where da honey's at?" it was because all the beautiful people were at this event! And it didn't take long before my guys Matt & Jacob from Traveling Photo Booth Co. found me! (Don't tell but I cheated on them with another photo booth that night! Shhh!) Mid-party ForeverTV's Amanda Day and the shows producer Charles Even Eide stood up to speak and to thank everyone for attending. They were certainly the gracious hosts whom I had a chance to meet later in the evening outside on the endless bridge. Besides seeing old friends and meeting new ones, this was just an all around fun event to attend. There were a lot of very cool things like live mannequins, a candy bar, beautiful table displays, Miss Minnesota was in attendance, there was dancing and of course great people watching! All in all, a great time!

A construction crew struck a 10-inch gas line Wednesday afternoon, causing several blocks in downtown San Francisco to be closed.
The crew was working at Mason and Post streets at about 2 p.m. when it struck the line. PG&E was on the scene within minutes of the rupture in order to start making repairs, according to San Francisco Fire Department spokeswoman Mindy Talmadge.
As of just after 3 p.m., gas was still leaking from the pipeline.
One office building at the intersection -- 490 Post St. -- was evacuated, PG&E spokesman Joe Molica said. Occupants in other buildings on the corner were advised to shelter in place, Molica said.
All of the streets within a two-block radius of the broken gas pipeline were closed to traffic. The Powell-Mason cable car line also had to be diverted for a short time at Powell and Washington streets due to the gas line rupture.
"Public safety is our top priority in these situations, so we immediately began working with police and fire," Molica said.
The San Francisco Fire Department posted a fire engine, a fire truck and a battalion chief at the scene of the gas pipeline rupture as a precautionary measure while the pipeline was being repaired.
The gas line was capped at 3:20 p.m.

Nebraska hard money lenders offer mortgage lending to help individuals with their house payments, although it is considered by many as a risky way to lend money. Residential foreclosures are on the rise, mortgage banks are extra cautious with their borrowers that the only way to finance the mortgage is through private lending companies.
Remember to research about Nebraska hard money loans provider in your area and discuss your current situation with them before accepting a hard money loan. Review the terms being offered before signing the documents. Seek out at least three Nebraska hard money lenders in your area and be prepared to negotiate the terms. If you do not understand something about the terms of the lending, do not be afraid to clarify things. Most hard money loan terms are negotiable as long as they are both beneficial to the parties involved. Some hard money lenders may offer you more than what you need. Do not accept that since you are more likely to spend that extra money and will have to pay it over the entire term on the loan. If you have a lawyer and an accountant, involve them in the process. They are of great help and most of the time, they can hook you up with a reliable hard money lender in case things are not agreeable with your chosen private lender. As mentioned, do not be afraid to discuss your situation with the lending company. Being a proactive and honest borrower to the private mortgage lending company can help you in your search for financial recovery and stability.

Stockholm, October 4th – Business and engineering/IT students in Europe's 12 largest economies have chosen their favorite employers. More than 190,000 European millennials in Universum's Talent Survey have ranked the companies they find most desirable for employment, and the results delivered some valuable insights.
While Russian and Polish talent rate job security as their top career goal, overall for the second year in a row, European business and engineering/IT students are actively in pursuit of obtaining a work/life balance. What's interesting about this is the rise in the number of business talent ranking to be a leader or manager of people as their second top career goal.
Back in 2014, to be a leader or manager of people was ranked fourth by this group of students but since then it has climbed up one place year upon year to overtake last year's second (now third) place career goal, to have an international career. Given that leadership and or managerial roles are not traditionally associated with a work/life balance, millennials could soon create a shift in mentality as well as changes to the current standards of management roles.
With regard to the career goals for engineering/IT talent, there have been no changes to the top career goals since last year, to have a work/life balance, to be secure/stable in my job and to be entrepreneurial or creative/innovative, remain the top three career choices respectively.
There has been a mix of developments for FMCG companies (the most represented industry in this ranking) with just as many companies falling as climbing up the ranks. Banks are the second most represented company but unlike their counterpart's in the FMCG industry, this year Banks have more companies falling in ranks than rising, yet Auditing & Accounting firms have more climbers than fallers. Banks are struggling to compete with tech firms for business talent, and as a result certain banks have fallen in the rankings, however due to the interest of Engineering/IT talent in joining professional and financial services firms, some banks have made strong advances in the Engineering/IT rankings.
Consequently, the rise in popularity of Auditing and Accounting firms has meant that the industry is now the most attractive industry, leading to Management Consulting losing some of its attractiveness.
For a second year in a row Technology, Hardware and the Equipment industry have continued to lose their attractiveness, however, Software companies remain the most popular industry choice for European engineering/IT talent. This trend is reflected in the rankings as Google climbed four places to take the top spot, followed by fellow climber and last year's 5th place holder, Microsoft. All Pharmaceutical companies climb in ranks and the industry has become more attractive which is also the case for the Auditing & Accounting industry.
Google has taken over the top spot followed by Microsoft in 2nd place, replacing Siemens which now sits in 3rd place. The BMW Group has moved down one position and now sits in 4th place followed by last year's number 1, IBM. GE has moved up one spot since last year and now sits in 6th place followed by Bosch which climbed two places. The Airbus Group moved down two places from 6th to 8th, followed by Nestle which also descended one place. The 10th place holder is non-mover Daimler/Mercedes-Benz.
Compared to the Engineering/IT ranking, the business rankings are much more stable this year with Google, L'Oréal Group and Microsoft keeping their respective top three positions. PwC (PricewaterhouseCoopers) climbed one place to 4th place whilst EY moved down one spot to 5th place. KPMG climbed two places to claim 6th place, followed by non-mover Unilever in 7th place. Deloitte enters the top ten this year in 8th place having climbed six positions. McKinsey & Company moved down three places and now sits in 9th place, followed by another new entrant to the top ten and last year's number eleven, Goldman Sachs.

Europe's Most Attractive Employer companies, must rank in the top 90% of employers within at least four regional markets. If an employer is not listed or is ranked outside the top 90% in a market, it gets a default ranking which is equal to the position of the last company in the top 90% for that market. Results are weighted by GDP, so that a high ranking position in Germany has a greater influence than a high ranking position in Belgium, for example.

Im developing a website that provides visitors with downloadable and printable coupons and there is a problem with it in IE
When a visitor hits a link, I have used some javascript to open the new window in a smaller one that has the coupon that they can print.
This is the code I have used:
I use FireFox and this works fine in FF, but when I went to check the look, layout and functionality of the site in IE it doesn't work as needed.Code:<a href="javascript:location='mens_page.html';window.open('mens_promo.html','Mens Promotional Coupon','height=190,width=520,scrollbars=no,toolbars=no,menubar=yes,location=no,resizeable=no')">
What happens is that in IE, when the link is clicked it just brings the visitor to the top of the page that the link is located in. I have experimented with many differant alternatives and can't get it to work right in IE.
Can someone please tell me how I have to change this so it works right in IE, too??
And for the record - I wish IE would be deprecated ..... I hate it!!!

Language of Light [Hibiru]
Zep Tepi Language of Light The Emrald Tablets of Thoth and The Keys of Enoch "The lost Enochian knowledge reveals the mother tongue as a "language of Light". Known to the ancients as HIBURU, it is the primal seed language, introduced at the beginning of this time cycle. Modern research confirms, the most ancient form Hebrew to be a natural language, the alphabetic forms emerging from the phosphene flare patterns of the brain. The same shapes, in fact, born of a spinning vortex. It is a true language of light, coursing through our very nervous system.....Encoding the natural waveform geometries of the physical world, Hiburu is a harmonic language, mimicking the waveform properties of light. The "keys" Enoch speaks of, turn out to be sound keys, keys to be vibratory matrix of reality itself, the mythic "Power of the World". The Enochian knowledge describes sonic equations, encoded within the ancient mantras and god names, capable of directly affect the nervous system and producing profound effect of healing and higher consciousness states....As the ancient texts declare, "If you would speak with the gods you must first learn the language of the gods."
Alchemy and Magic
Zep Tepi is also known as an alchemist which makes him a Magician, Magi, Master, he who can bend the light to create illusion in the electromagnetic program or our reality - magnetics and illusion. He is known to the Egyptians as Thoth, (thought) the "Lord of Magic and Time" - to the Greeks as Hermes, 'Messenger of the Gods" - and to the Celtics as the enigmatic wizard Merlin, who disappears up an apple tree to mythic Avalon, seeking the secret of immortality and vowing to return.
Zep Tepi has always left the message in all legends, even those of an extraterrestrial nature, that he will return at the end of this Cycle of Time through the alchemy of DNA and consciousness. He brings with him the secret keys to the gates of a sacred land or golden age, meaning a spiraling of consciousness as it returns to higher frequencies of light and understanding.
In the role of Enoch, Zep Tepi encoded messages in a language of symbols, archetypes. Hidden in ancient languages, the lost Enochian knowledge reveals the mother tongue as a Language of Light. Known to the ancients as HIBURU, which sounds like Nibiru or Hebrew. It is the primal seed language, introduced at the beginning of this time cycle by the Zep Tepi. Modern research confirms, the most ancient form Hebrew to be a natural language, the alphabetic forms emerging from the phosphene flare patterns of the brain. The same shapes, in fact, born of a spinning vortex. It is a true language of light, coursing through our very nervous system.
Encoding the natural waveform geometries of the physical world, Hiburu is a harmonic language, mimicking the waveform properties of light. The Keys Enoch speaks of, turn out to be sound keys, keys to be vibratory matrix of reality itself, the mythic 'Power of the World'. The Enochian knowledge describes sonic equations, encoded within the ancient mantras and god names, capable of directly affect the nervous system and producing profound effect of healing and higher consciousness states.
DNA, the ancient cabalistic Tree Of Life portrayed in the Biblical Torah, is now coming to be viewed as a live vibrating structure, rather than a fixed tape recording. Many modern scientists, regard DNA as a shimmering, waveform configuration, able to be modified by light, radiation, magnetic fields or sonic pulses. The legacy of Thoth/Enoch suggests this Language of Light the harmonic science of the ancients, could actually affect DNA.
The evidence in Egypt, indicates this was the grand 6,000 year genetic experiment attempted by the Egyptians, the quest for immortality and the stars, a quest described by the great ones of old, a quest initiated by Gilgamesh long ago. The Egyptians were not fixated on the afterlife, as thought by early Christian translators but, focused on creating a higher type of human. This also links with bio-genetic engineering, cloning and alien experiments. Along with many ancient cultures, they believed DNA came from the stars and was destined to return and transform.
The Greek word Phoenix derived from the Egyptian word Pa-Hanok, meaning "The House of Enoch". The Enochian knowledge suggests these regular cataclysmic changes act as an evolutionary agent provocateur, to quicken the resident life forms to the next evolutionary phase prior to exodus from the womb planet, creational egg.
The knowledge of Thoth and Enoch implies humans are meant to evolve beyond our present terrestrial form. The Egyptians recorded stories of the Star Walkers, occasional individuals who, like Enoch, traveled beyond the Great Eye of Orion [out of the program] and returned, to walk like gods amongst men. The ancient texts insist we are destined to become as gods, the Mayan Lords of Light and the Egyptian/Tibetan Shining Ones. We are in truth there now. We are destined to remember who we are. Such is the golden alchemy of time and consciousness.
According to many Earth legends, the Zep Tepi return at the beginning and end of each time cycle, the 13,000 year half-point of our solar system - 26,000 year zodiacal orbit around galactic center. Because of conditions on our galactic orbit, these 13,000 year intervals or worlds, seem to be separated by cataclysmic upheaval, as history teaches.
The 'calendar in stone' of the Great Pyramid, describes the so-called Phoenix Cycle of our galactic orbit, the present time period ends (converted to our present calendar) in the year 2012 AD. The Greek word Phoenix, derived from the Egyptian word, Pa-Hanok, actually means, The House of Enoch.
Enochian knowledge suggests regular cataclysmic changes act as an evolutionary agent provocateur to quicken the resident life forms to the next evolutionary phase, prior to exodus from the womb planet. Human evolution may proceed more rapidly than previously thought. The evidence now appearing, records civilizations before us, who mastered the physical continuum and progressed beyond this world.
Discoveries emerging from Egypt, describe the existence of a world wide pyramid temple system in prehistory, mounted like antennae on the key energy meridians, which were employed by ancient priest-scientists as a musical system to stabilize the tectonic plates of the planet... cataclysmic geology at it's finest. From the mother tongue word Jedaiah, meaning 'the way of the Word' or 'The power of the Word', the ancient Jedai priests used the Language of Light to tune the planet like a giant harmonic bell. Much is being rediscovered in the last days of this time cycle.

Esoteric and Metaphysical Secrets
In my metaphysical dream I once had this voice told me 'Keep Reading Those Books, You'll Attain More Insight", I will never ever forget that day.It happend in May 2007AD
The Sphinx was a monument built to a hybrid sphinx presit who survived the flood of Atlantis or died and was remember by the egyptians who are the remnants of Atlantis, Egyptian gods were orginally presit, kings and queens of Atlantis.
Mayan gods also were priest kings,queens of the ancient civilization of Lemuria [MU]. Genesis means 'Genes' of Isis. Translators of the bible meaning the free masons took the hebrew words and currupted them into a non hebrew beleif or meaning.
The ancient Black Americans who are called Israelites claim direct children of the constellation of Orion, they are the orginal Sumerians and Babylonians. Who are descendents of the Lemurians (Mu) and the Atlanteans.
The name Jehovah was created in 1518 it is latin and is not the name of the God of Israel.The name Yahweh contians the language of light.The langugage of Light is classifed as 'hibiru'. It consist of a electronic magnetic harmaic sound and power.
The keys of Enoch,The emrald Tablets of Thoth,The sword of Moses all these ancient books reveal the language of light and it's connection with ancient beings from other worlds who I consider as angels of Yahweh.
The Nephilim/Anunnaki built the civilization or city of Atlantis and thier children dwelled thier shortly after more ancient civilizations rose from that one. in 1 Enoch Chapter 7 and Genesis 6 it explains this, Tablet 13 of the ancient book of Thoth who was Enoch speaks of this civlization as well.
DNA came from Yahweh he put it into a cannister and flew to our planet with his angels inside spaceships thousands of years ago.
Gilgamesh came from Lemuria [MU] reason I know this is because him and his firend Enkidu a hybrid had to walk across the great sea to see the father figure of men who's name was Utnapishtim, Utnapishtim was the same Noah of the Genesis in the Old Testament.
Mayans claimed they were the remnants of the children of Lemuria [Mu]).they say that the "Giants" built ....... more coming soon.

Ancient Art of Atlantis
Could this be the hostorical Atlantis is this art the legendary palace of the children of the 'gods' of Genesis 6 & 1Enoch 7. This picture was published by the history channel and I was delighted to recieve one from them. It seems to be Atlantis to me and despite all these races trying to claim that their ethnic was of that palace, But when you look at this picture these people seem to be as black people. Could these egyptian sun gods that the egyptians were worshiping really could have been the offsrping of the giants or the annunaki's children. Could these egyptian goddess and gods could have been queens and kings of Atlantis prior.

Wireless Engery Grid
13TH LOCATION DISCOVERED!!Energy grids have been founded in the most stragest spot most shockingly right in the location where lost civilizations of the Nephilim and Giants settled thier civilizations I can cleary see Atlantis and Mu!
Maybe these energy grids were used for the electricty in the city of these lost ancient civilizations or could it be so that it was used to recharge spaceships that either the advanced giants had or the 'gods' of the creation of man who came with Yahweh the creator! Does this signigfy that Prophet Enoch was a Atlanteans you can cleary see how a grid was right in the spot of the pyramid of Giza who the prophet Enoch is said to be a modifier and Alchemist of it thousands or years ago. Thoth is said to be this Preist teaching around 35,000 BCE in Egypt.
I know it is giving into the prophet Enoch because a pyramid wrighting said: 'Pa-Hanok' this is egyptian for 'the house of Enoch' so this literally means he had a mystery school in egypt, could this be the schools the Sumerians and Egyptians learned in also the Hebrew prophet Moses aswell! Since they did live in Egypt for 400years!

Ancient Lost City of Atlantis & Mu
Every year some nation claims they have found Atlantis ..Atlantis was apart of West Africa.It was on the edge of Morocco. Lemuria is apart of South America and the Bahamas region...thats another lost civilizations that sprung off after the creation of Atlantis.The giants lived their...they were renowned and advanced such as their nephilim fathers. Atlantis has nothing to do with Greek Caucasian people homer learned about the tale from Egyptian black people.In the epic of Gilgamesh he visited their and said that the gods dwelled their meaning the 'nephilim' 'or anunnaki'.
Gilgamesh also talks about how the gods had a landing place their at (Atlantis) and that the gods would ascend and descend in their Shem's and eagles among the firmaments of the wind... Shem means Fiery Space Vehicle. In the 'The Epic Of Gilgamesh' and do research on Enkidu , Adapa, Etana and Enoch these are all Sumerians survivors of the flood who came from Atlantis ohhh yeah also Noah they all talk about gods taking them on journeys to outer space. Atlantis had a crystal board that would shine in the costellation Orion it was beacon and a navigator for gods who rode in flying vehicles such as the pyramid of Giza same ordeal... Heaven is constellation Orion.
The Old Testament is history of Atlantis also. The Old Testament is the aftermath of the flood and so on...what went on after. Read books such as 'the emerald tablets of Thoth' and the keys of Enoch they were Ethiopians and Egyptians who wrote about visits to their also Enoch and Thoth are the same person he was really Enoch the Egyptians just called him Thoth.

A Throne For Giants
Monoliths that as if they had been pre-cast like mordern concrete, Thrones for giants? Did the 'gods' destroy thier base at Sacsayhuaman when they had carriedout thier mission? My theory is that Nephilim 'Giants' suvivors of Mu migrated to that area 13,000 years ago and built them a city when thier Mighty Structure died out thier children the Inca's then dwelled thier in machhu Pachhu in the home of thier ancestors. The Incan epic speaks about Mighty Men and Women building the city they were tan skinned people with black hair similar to a mayan's shade but not a caucausin who came from the city where the gods dwelled which I assume to be Lemuria/Mu!

8,000 Year Old Underwater Building Off Of Japan
This story was originally revealed by Laura Lee nearly a year ago. For her update on this amazing discovery, see link at end of this article. A STRUCTURE thought to be the world's oldest building, nearly twice the age of the great pyramids of Egypt, has been discovered. The rectangular stone ziggurat under the sea off the coast of Japan could be the first evidence of a previously unknown Stone Age civilisation, say archeologists.The monument is 600ft wide and 90ft high and has been dated to at least 8000BC. The oldest pyramid in Egypt, the Step Pyramid at Saqqara, was constructed more than 5,000years later. The structure off Yonaguni, a small island southwest of Okinawa, was first discovered 75ft underwater by scuba divers 10 years ago and locals believed it was a natural phenomenon.
Professor Masaki Kimura, a geologist at Ryukyu University in Okinawa, was the first scientist to investigate the site and has concluded that the mysterious five-layer structure was man-made. "The object has not been manufactured by nature. If that had been the case, one would expect debris from erosion to have collected around the site, but there are no rock fragments there," he said.The discovery of what appears to be a road surrounding the building was further evidence that the structure was made by humans, he added.
Robert Schoch, professor of geology at Boston University, dived at the site last month. "It basically looks like a series of huge steps, each about a metre high. Essentially, it's a cliff face like the side of a stepped pyramid. It's a very interesting structure," he said. "It's possible that natural water erosion combined with the process of cracked rocks splitting created such a structure, but I haven't come across such processes creating a structure as sharp as this."
Further evidence that the structure is the work of humans came with the discovery of smaller underwater stone mounds nearby. Like the main building, these mini-ziggurats are made of stepped slabs and are about 10m wide and 2m high.
Kimura said it was too early to know who built the monument or its purpose. "The structure could be an ancient religious shrine, possibly celebrating an ancient deity resembling the god Nirai-Kanai, whom locals say gave happiness to the people of Okinawa from beyond the sea. This could be evidence of a new culture as there are no records of a people intelligent enough to have built such a monument 10,000 years ago," he said.
"This could only have been done by a people with a high degree of technology, probably coming from the Asian continent, where the oldest civilisations originate. There would have to have been some sort of machinery involved to have created such a huge structure."
Teruaki Ishii, professor of geology at Tokyo University, said the structure dated back to at least 8000BC when the land on which it was constructed was submerged at the end of the last ice age. "I hope this site is artificial as it would be very exciting. But at this time I feel it is too early to say. I think the structure could be natural, but part of it may have been made," he said.
The first signs of civilisation in Japan are traced to the Neolithic period around 9000BC. The people at this time lived as hunters and food-gatherers. There is nothing in the archeological record to suggest the presence of a culture advanced enough to have built a structure like the ziggurat.
British archeologists are, however, cautiously enthusiastic about the discovery which will be featured this summer in a Channel 4 documentary.
Jim Mower, an archeologist at University College London, said: "If it is confirmed that the site is as old as 10,000 years and is man-made, then this is going to change an awful lot of the previous thinking on southeast Asian history. It would put the people who made the monument on a par with the ancient civilisation of Mesopotamia and the Indus Valley.

Ancient Astrology
Astrology goes back to the times of the Sumerians, who settled in Mesopotamia around 30,000 BC. This marks the first example of a people who worshipped the sun, moon, and Venus. They considered these heavenly bodies gods, or the homes of gods. The priests of the time who communicated with the gods were the first rulers. There were High Priests and lesser priests - much like the way things were in Atlantis. They carried the teachings with them from one civilization to another. In the 6th century B.C. the scribes of Enuma Anu Enlil were a group of men at the Babylonian court who were experts in astronomy and astrology. Texts refer to this group of scribes, but we do not know exactly who they were, what they did and how they were trained. However, for hundreds of years the scribes kept accurate records of natural events on the earth and in the sky in order to predict the future.
more coming soon..........

10,000 BC In the new epic movie "10,000 B.C.," it's rightly portrayed that Ice Age animals were hunted by Bronze Age humans, but not circa 10000 B.C. as the film depicts, but actually during the Bronze Age, from circa 2300 B.C. to around 1500 B.C. (when the Ice Age ended, to submerge hundreds of seaside cities, now submerged off the coasts of Egypt, Lebanon, Greece, Malta, Italy, Spain, the Canaries, Teneriffe's, Morocco, Iran, India, Japan, and islands of the Pacific, megalithic structures whose style indicates that they were built in the 2000 B.C. timeframe, definitely not 10000 B.C. as the movie propones).
Submerged ruins off Spain at Chipiona, Rota, Huelva, and Tarifa, are ruins from ancient Tarshish, also known as Atlantis, and onshore there in southern Spain were discovered Ice Age reindeer antlers with Phoenician script written on them, from the time of Tarshish, Atlas, Sidon, and the other first Atlanteans, who mined the rich mineral deposits of the Sierra Morena mountains of southern Spain, when reindeers and elephants (as described by Plato) roamed the then rich and lush pastures there, when it was much rainier, during the Ice Age. Just google tarshish noorbergen, and you will see a link to page 168 of his book Secrets of the Lost Races where he mentions these Ice Age antlers with Phoenician script.
And in my documentary, Dark Secrets of the Black Sea, Russian experts explain that Bronze Age Cimmerian culture along the Black Sea used mastodon tools, as they made bronze, further vindicating the notion in the movie that Ice Age animals lived during the time of the early megalithic Bronze Age civilizations, such as Sumer, Egypt, Canaan, Atlantis, and Kumari Kandam and the Rama empires of India, as well as, the Cimmerians and Thracians.
See how the Ice Age could only have been caused by the warmer ocean after Noah's Flood, geothermally heated, in the free ebook download of my first book, Old Earth? Why Not!, to see that with a few adjustments in the timeline and hydrology (wetter Ice Age), the film 10,000 B.C. could have been historically accurate, and so, I hope that others will make films on this subject material, which beautifully comports with the book of Genesis, which therefore, will appeal to hundreds of millions of intelligent truth seeking people around the world.

Hall of Amenti
Hall of Records The site finally selected for the safekeeping of all records and for the great symbol of the esoteric content of the law was the fertile plains of Gizeh, which had stood firm during the flood that had swept over so much of the land some thousands of years ago. This site was situated even higher than was the Temple of Isis.
It was calculated that this area was also approximately the mathematical centre of the land areas of the earth, where there might be the least disturbance by future earthquakes or floods. Here the record vaults were to be hidden, in a small pyramid between the Sphinx and the Great Pyramid, connected to both. Other large pyramids were also to be constructed in the vicinity.
The Sphinx had already been started, then work was discontinued, then restored and added to, after the return of the High Priest, Ra. Originally it was intended to be a memorial to Araaraat, but after the recall of Ra the meaning was changed to symbolize the relation of man and the animal, or carnal world, to those changes which must come about in his spiritual evolution - changes which were already coming about, in the fading of falling away of imperfections of man's bodily pattern.
The base of the Sphinx had been laid out in channels, and in the corner facing the Great Pyramid the story was inscribed as to how all these were begun and built, giving the history of the first invading ruler and the ascension of Araaraat. From the right forepaw, a passage was made to lead to the entrance of the Record Chamber, or Pyramid of Records. This was to remain undiscovered until man overcame his ego and reached true spiritual understanding, at the beginning of the fifth root race.
The Hall of Records was enclosed in a pyramid of its own, also to stay hidden for many thousands of years. It is situated between the Sphinx and the Great Pyramid. Hidden in the northeast corner were thirty-two tablets, buried with the remains of King Araarat. This was the first of the pyramids to be constructed from the shifting sands.
The Great Pyramid of Gizeh was one hundred years in the building: from 10,490 to 10,390 B.C. Ra himself made extensive studies of the terrain, and great care was taken in figuring the geometrical location in relation to the Sphinx and the four cardinal points of the compass.
Although it was planned by Ra, the actual construction and engineering were worked out by Hermes, a descendant of Hennes Trismegistus, who had returned with the Priest from the Nubian land of exile.
The Great Pyramid was built as a hall of initiation, the 'House Initiate', for those dedicating themselves to special services in the secrets of the mystery religion of Egypt. Here the masters performed their vows, consecrating themselves to holy service. Its purpose, therefore, was far greater than that of a burial place.
It was erected by the application of those universal laws and forces of nature which cause iron to float. By the same laws, gravity may be overcome, or neutralized, and stone made to float in air. The Pyramid was thus built by levitation, abetted by song and chanting, much in the same manner in which the Druids of England set up their huge stones at a later period.
Material for erection of the Pyramid was brought from as far away as Nubia; many different kinds of stone being used. Highly polished white limestone was placed on the four sides, in slabs whose joints were cemented together so imperceptibly that the work may be compared to the jeweller's precision. This casing stone was later stripped off and pieces may still be found in buildings in Cairo. Portions still lie buried below the sand, A few are still in place at the foundation line on the north side.
The Pyramid's capstone was composed of an alloy of copper, brass and gold, pounded into a covering for the top of the Pyramid. This eventually was desecrated,. by the sons of Heth, on orders of the Pharaoh, under whom the children of Israel suffered in bondage. In certain seasons a cosmic fire was lighted on top of the Pyramid, for symbolic purposes, by a method known only to the Atlanteans..
A long and elaborate ceremony marked the dedication of the Pyramid after the capstone was put into place. The event was announced to the people by a loud clanging of metal. From this ringing-out has arisen the call to prayer, thanksgiving and worship, as symbolized in the church bell. It is also the origin of the trumpet call to arms, and the ringing-in of the New Year.
The Great Pyramid is a record in stone of the history and development of man from the time of Araaraat and Ra to the end of the present earth cycle in 1998. Its records are written in the language of mathematics, geometry and astronomy, as well as in the lands of stone used, with their symbology.
At the end of the cycle, there is to be another change in the earth's position, with the return of the Great Initiate for the culmination of the ancient prophecies. All changes that have come and are yet to come are shown there in the passages from the base to the top. Changes are signified by the layer of stone, the colour of it, and the direction in which the turns are made. There are no undiscovered rooms, as such, in the Great Pyramid.
In the smaller Pyramid of Records, yet to be uncovered, there is a vault sealed with heavy metal, containing the prophecy for the period from 1958 to 1998. Here were secreted the records of the People of the One God, from the beginning of man's entrance into the earth. The occasion of this sealing was attended by Araaraat, Ra and the priests and priestesses of the Temples.
In the Great Pyramid, current history is symbolized by the low ceiling at the entrance of the passage leading to the King's Chamber, as it is called. This low passage or depression shows a downward tendency, as indicated by the variations in the land of stone used. The present period, therefore, may be termed the Crucitarian Age, or the age in which preparations are made for the beginning of the new sub-race. Astronomical and numerical factors indicate this date began in the Autumn of 1932.
When the gradual change taking place in the position of the North Star, Polaris, became noticeable as calculated from the entrance of the pyramid, there will be evidence of the incoming of the new race, with a greater influx of souls from the Atlantean, Lemurian, La, Ur or Da civilizations. These conditions are indicated by the turn in the passage through the Pyramid. The empty sarcophagus in the King's Chamber is itself a symbol of the enlightenment of man as to the meaning of death - as a transition from one plane of existence to another.
The length, breadth, height and various directions of the many layers of stone in the passages and chambers of the Pyramid accurately depict the events of significance in the spiritual evolution of man on planet earth. The birth and death of Jesus of Nazareth are indicated to the year, day and hour, at the turn of the passageway leading to the Queen's Chamber.
At one point in the low passage, 1936 is prophesied as a year of disturbances and turmoils, including wars, storms and land upheavals; with a resulting unrest among groups and masses. After 1956 a time of adjustment follows, and then the world enters a new period as shown in the King's Chamber - some time between 1938 and 1958.
This era is the beginning of developments of an unusual nature in many ways, terminating in the year 1998. It will be a time of preparation for the coming of the Master of the world - not necessarily His actual coming, the time of which no man can ever work now. It will be a period of greater spiritual reawakening and enlightenment; of new understanding, new life and new faith. There will be marked advancements in the field of science and new knowledge concerning the balancing of the forces of gravity by which the Pyramid itself was built.
The present age of mankind is rapidly approaching a peak in its development. At the crest of the wave there will be a breaking, a clash between the material-minded and the spiritual-minded. Many will fall away; but those who stand firm will be guided in finding the records and interpreting them for the benefit of men everywhere. The important thing lies not in just their discovery but their interpretation!!
The Great Pyramid of Gizeh stands as an historical monument to the present root race. It records the story of man's struggle for spiritual wisdom, and for many ages it was used as a temple of initiation for many of the world's great teachers and leaders. It was here that the Great Initiate of the Hebrew Moses was taught by his dad Amram or his relatives.

Where Do We Come From
The Sumerian cuneiform deciphering skills of Zecharia Sitchin, a linguist in command of many ancient languages who has set the scientific world on its ear with his astounding interpretations of ancient writings. In 1976, Sitchin's first book, The Twelfth Planet, began an odyssey that has literally transformed the field of ancient history; in 1993 came the sixth book in his Earth Chronicle series, When Time Began. Among other mind boggling assertions, this book links the complex calendar of Stonehenge and the puzzling ruins of Tiahuanacu in Bolivia, to the ancient culture of the Sumerians, and by extension, to the Nibiruans, who are also called the Anunnaki. These are the folks Sitchin insists not only created the Sumerian culture, but who also genetically created human beings as we know them. And yes, they live on this mysterious 12th planet, Nibiru.
To date, Sitchin has deciphered more then 2,000 clay cylinders from that ancient land on the Persian Gulf that existed some 6,000 years ago. Some of these fragments, which date to 4,000 B.C., are in museums around the world. One fragment in particular, presently in Germany, indicates that Earth is the seventh planet, counting in from Pluto. The time frame here is four millennia before modern astronomy confirmed the existence of Pluto as an actual planet in our solar system. So how did an ancient race of people know this fact? Sitchin says it is because these ancient people did not come from Earth, but from Nibiru. Profound family squabbles eventually caused the Nibiruans to abandon planet Earth, leaving human beings to fend for themselves. These early humans would never possess the ability to travel among the stars like their creators, nor would they possess the immortality of their creators. Eons later, however, we humans finally have sent an intelligently designed satellite probe beyond the confines of our solar system. Are we repeating our past? This is but one of the perplexing questions Sitchin investigates in the Earth Chronicles. Not only an eminent archaeologist, Sitchin is also a formidable analyst of ancient cultures, in fact, perhaps the best ever.
His explicative comparisons of similar but disparate mythologies provide a fuller understanding of world religions. Among other things, Sitchin's investigations indicate that there may be an outpost in orbit around Mars preventing current humans from getting there (a fact verified by both U.S. and Russian space probe problems in that neighborhood). But the primary focus of this impressive research is ancient Sumer. The decipherment of that culture's clay tablets, buried for millennia, reveals roots that stretch all the way back to 450,000 B.C. The reason Sitchin was motivated to learn to read cuneiform tablets was his initial curiosity as a boy concerning the meaning of "Nefilim", an enigmatic group mentioned in the Old Testament. Translated, "Nefilim" means "those who came down."
"Came down from where" is the starting point that makes the Earth Chronicles better reading than any Sherlock Holmes mystery. In order to unlock the mystery, Sitchin takes on a journey all around the world to ancient cities and former civilizations.
Cuneiform tablets
It would be impossible to do justice to his research in such a brief review as this one; however, there are some very significant findings on the existence of this other race of people. Perhaps the most compelling is the "face on Mars," the structure in the area called Cydonia on the Red Planet. What is it? If the relationship of the face on Mars is analyzed for its distance to other pyramidal structures also discovered on Mars, the geometric relationship is found to be identical to the distances of the Egyptian Sphinx and the pyramids in the surrounding areas of Egypt. Sitchin concluded the placement of these pyramids indicates that they served as landing markers for the Nibiruans after they entered the Earth's atmosphere from outer space. Sitchin also has asserted that the early pyramids were not designed by the Egyptians. NBC-TV aired a program on Nov.10, 1993 entitled "The Mystery of the Sphinx", indicating that the Sphinx is 2,000 years older than previously thought. This corroborates Sitchin's findings that someone other than the Egyptians designed the pyramids.
One astounding assertion after another has made Sitchin the most controversial writer of our time because he challenges everything we thought we knew about human civilization. It's easy to dismiss Sitchin's research in the same way that other people dismiss UFO's, Eric Von Daniken and countless other researchers who claimed to have found evidence for extraterrestrial visitors to this planet. But Sitchin is well aware of this devil's advocacy, and vaporizes the arguments of skeptics with solid scholarship, including the most rigorous translations of Sumerian text, Vedic tales and excerpts from the original Greek and Hebrew versions of the Bible. This ability to translate many languages is no small achievement. Those of us who will never possess the ability to decipher 6,000-year-old clay tablets must trust that Sitchin has done his job accurately. But his sources reveal an utter integrity, including the finest, most respected citations and references imaginable.
The two most recent individuals to pay attention to Sitchin were Colin Powell and Norman Schwarzkopf, the American Generals who were key figures in the recent Gulf War. The landing place of the Nibiruans was in an area once called Eridu, now called Southern Iraq. The main reason Saddam Hussein was not captured was because he was holding out in an ancient step pyramid constructed by one of those early civilizations mentioned by Sitchin, and which the Americans were loathe to bomb, because of their inestimable historical value. Once the gloss of the media is removed from consensus reality, an entirely new picture emerges as to who knows what concerning what Sitchin has uncovered. This writer may never know who knows what, but the circumstantial evidence in the Earth Chronicles concerning the Nibiruans is absolutely compelling.
Where does one look for their arrival?
Answer: In the Southern skies. The fact becomes incontrovertible once you study Sitchin. He points out that NASA has located a massive black object in the Southern skies, and the recent reactivation of the telescopes in Argentina and Chile seems to indicate a renewed interest in that portion of the heavens. Assimilating all the findings is really beyond the ability of any single person; however, a dedicated team could assemble all the relevant information. Though the information would necessarily be classified top secret, Sitchin has in fact laid out all the secrets in the Earth Chronicles. It is now up to us to revamp our own understanding of who we are as a species called humans so we can, as Sitchin says, "be more prepared when the Anunnaki arrive."
Many of us will never travel all over the world to visit the ancient observatories. However, Sitchin has, and what he has found concerning the placement of these observatories on the surface of the Earth also is startling. All the observatories are inclined to the Southern hemisphere. They also are on the same Earth latitude. In his latest book, we learn that many of these observatories measure exact lunar and solar rising and settings with an accuracy unmatched by any modern measuring equipment. The field of astronomy and astrology are made completely understandable by Sitchin, who shows that the concept of "Divine Time" was something these ancient astronomer priests created to predict the arrival of their creators. Farfetched, to be sure, but when logic and patience are afforded to Sitchin's conclusions, one comes away with the realization that humanity has been misled in regards to our actual origins.
The biochemical research is especially haunting. Our entire DNA structure is like a Contact time-release capsule. When we were originally programmed, our basic DNA structure was limited to a double-helix strand. The triggering mechanism that enables us to function as we do is affected by stellar radiation. We are now at a place in the orbit around our central galaxy where the radio frequencies of the center of the galaxy, as well as many other star systems, are communicating new information to us. The release of this information, according to Sitchin, coincides with the next arrival of the 12th planet. The government's attempt to construct a Freedom Space Lab will be aimed to ascertain the whereabouts of Nibiru (the 12th planet).
The big question, of course, is what will these beings whom we have confused with gods think of us now? In the past we were not granted the same powers they had, but as a result of thousands of years of genetic selection, we have in some ways become like gods. Most all of the ancient languages have now been deciphered, and the 22 Hebrew letters have been found to contain information based on light generating systems. Our understanding of torodial force fields, fibonacci series, fractals and open topological vector spaces have been expressed in the language of mathematics. Star fields begin to look more like computer generated printouts than random points of light in the night sky. If there is one thing Sitchin has definitely accomplished, it has been to expand the human imagination.
The legendary cultures of Atlantis and Lemuria no longer appear fantastic, but as efforts of other races to survive on planet Earth. The SETI project, the government's official Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence has been cancelled, and then reactivated by a private consortium of companies. The most recent Mars probe completely disappeared. The answer given to these enigmas are unsatisfactory, when weighted against the evidence that another race of people is about to visit our planet, as they apparently have many times in the past. Remember, it takes Earth one year to orbit the sun. It takes Nibiru 3,600 years, according to Sitchin. Therefore, one year for the Nibiruans is equal to 3,600 Earth years. He has completed all this research, he says, to prepare us, the human race, for the return of our creators.
Quantum Entanglement
Quantum mechanical phenomena such as quantum teleportation, the EPR paradox, or quantum entanglement might appear to create a mechanism that allows for faster-than-light (FTL) communication or time travel, and in fact some interpretations of quantum mechanics such as the Bohm interpretation presumes that some information is being exchanged between particles instantaneously in order to maintain correlations between particles. This effect was referred to as "spooky action at a distance" by Einstein.
Nevertheless, the rules of quantum mechanics curiously appear to prevent an outsider from using these methods to actually transmit useful information, and therefore do not appear to allow for time travel or FTL communication. This misunderstanding seems to be widespread in popular press coverage of quantum teleportation experiments. The assumption that time travel or superluminal communications is impossible allows one to derive interesting results such as the no cloning theorem, and how the rules of quantum mechanics work to preserve causality is an active area of research.
The possibility of paradoxes
The Novikov self-consistency principle and recent calculations by Kip S. Thorne indicate that simple masses passing through time travel wormholes could never engender paradoxes - there are no initial conditions that lead to paradox once time travel is introduced. If his results can be generalized they would suggest, curiously, that none of the supposed paradoxes formulated in time travel stories can actually be formulated at a precise physical level: that is, that any situation you can set up in a time travel story turns out to permit many consistent solutions. The circumstances might, however, turn out to be almost unbelievably strange.
Parallel universes might provide a way out of paradoxes. Everett's many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics suggests that all possible quantum events can occur in mutually exclusive histories. These alternate, or parallel histories would form a branching tree symbolizing all possible outcomes of any interaction.
Since all possibilities exist, any paradoxes can be explained by having the paradoxical events happening in a different universe. This concept is most often used in science-fiction. However, in actuality, physicists believe that such interaction or interference between these histories is not possible.
Time travel and the anthropic principle
It has been suggested by physicists such as Max Tegmark that the absence of time travel and the existence of causality may be due to the anthropic principle. The argument is that a universe which allows for time travel and closed time-like loops is one in which intelligence could not evolve because it would be impossible for a being to sort events into a past and future or to make predictions or comprehend the world around them.
Note that this imposes no restriction on supernatural agents (e.g. God) which are not confined by the bounds of spacetime. See the next section for details.
Time Travel and Religion
Prophecy and theology
It is interesting to note that any religion which postulates the existence of fulfilled prophecy requires, at the very least, an agent which can move information from the future into the past.
In Christian theology, for example, God is assumed to exist unbound by space or time. Doctrinally, God is held to be omniscient and omnipresent. Statements in the Bible such as Jesus's claim "before Abraham was born, I am" (John 8:58) and Peter's claim "[Jesus] was chosen before the creation of the world" (1 Peter 1:20) (assuming the creation of the world began at t = 0) imply that God does not occupy the same timeline that we do. This is further supported by the assertion "I the LORD do not change" (Malachi 3:6), since change requires movement along, and constrained by, a temporal continuum.
Two popular interpretations of these statements are that God exists outside the space-time continuum; or exists at every point in space-time simultaneously. In either case, God can transfer information from one point in space-time to any other point without restriction.
Transcending time through ancient wisdom.
The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali have been considered by some, such as physicist Fred Alan Wolf in his book, The Yoga of Time Travel to describe an inner process by which we can access knowledge of the past and future in the present. This form of time travel can be acquired by transcending the five Earthly anchors of the ego mind which otherwise leave us locked into the illusory self.

This is a presentation of Michael Tsarion called "The Destruction Of Atlantis - Was Atlantis A Center Of Advanced Civilization".
The ... quality of the video is not so good, but the information and images are so rich with knowledge and wisdom!
Read his excellent book: Atlantis, Alien Visitation and Genetic Manipulation.
Step out of the matrix and examine Tsarion's research deep into man's history. Asking questions that your Religion does not want to discuss, and finding answers that science cannot explain.

The Legend of The Star Man
Vitruvian Man The pentacle was once revered for the perfection with which the human form fits enigmatically into a five pointed star. Today it is a symbol that resurfaces time and again, but without the purity that was originally intended to be its message. The 'evolved' and altered image shown here is all that has survived human interference over the ages. Few if any have given any thought to its origins. Wayne Herschel believes that before this symbol was usurped by all kinds of bizarre followings, it was the ultimate representation of humankind. Humankind, whom he believes from all his research, came from the stars so to speak! Humankind created under a supreme Creator's perfect mathematical design code.
So why has this symbol of perfection been so blatantly confused with evil? Why has a unique representation of this symbol become the object of desecration and Satanism, to be feared when it was once so pure?
The story of the universal mathematical blueprint of the human form seems to originate around the time of Christ.
A man by the name of Vitruvious lived during this period. We all know how Da Vinci referred to this ancient scholar in his rendition of 'Vitruvian Man'. What most people don't realise is that Vitruvious not only delved into advance drawings and the mechanics of machines like Da Vinci, but he had originally represented a universal mathematical code of the human form that was once more defined.
2000 years ago, Vitruvious had recognised the navel as the important central axis for a circle and a square when the human form has legs together and arms outstretched above the head. He also had a second rendition of the human form with legs and arms apart. But here is where something crucial seems to have been forgotten or intentionally omitted. Vitruvious originally interpreted the arms quite differently to Da Vinci in two distinct positions with arms outstretched above the head and arms outstretched far apart. (matching the exact leg positions being together and far apart).
This is exactly how Wayne has interpreted the two arm positions in his human codex theory in 'The Hidden Records'.
Da Vinci thought the point where the square and the circle intercept was a sacred arm position (see position 'x' in the image below). It is also amazing that while Da Vinci published his perhaps 'censored' Vitruvian man 1500 years later… another great scholar in Germany at virtually the same moment in time as Da Vinci published the complete Vitruvious human form rendition. His name was Heinrich Agrippa. The churches in Germany were so horrified by this mans occult publication that he was arrested and subsequently burned at the stake.
Here is a combination depiction of Agrippa's reproduction of Vitruvious' 2000 year old human code and his two original sketches are shown in an overlay. Note the 'all seeing' eye positioned above the head like a crown. It suggests that Vitruvious himself might be repeating an ancient Egyptian source of lost knowledge. One must also consider the possibility that it was not at all safe 2000 years ago for Vitruvious to show the once sacred human icon as complete, i.e. the connection between the human form and the stars.
Over time, the true meaning of the once sacred icon suddenly became embroiled in witchcraft during the Renaissance era, and was henceforth interpreted as 'the occult'. The 'sacred' symbol became a target for desecration by evil groups and cult followers. The way to show disrespect for its godliness and purity was simple… it was unceremoniously turned upside down and desecrated in rituals and utterances, perhaps motivated by the intention to scare people away from the wonderful 'secret'. The icon became something churches believed should be feared.
And fear one must, but for other reasons as Wayne Herschel explains: Humanity has taken our most precious icon of whom we are and where we come from and violated it.
Once you have had the opportunity to read 'The Hidden Records', you will notice that the symbol above has evolved from a very sacred codex that not only makes its appearance at Stonehenge and Giza, some of humanity's oldest sites, but as bizarre as it may sound, it can even be found on another planet. To get an idea of what the author is getting at, browse through the thumbnail images on this website, then go to the book for the all important reasoning.
This is how the author believes this sacred symbol became distorted. It would appear that over time the human genitalia were seen to be a more appropriate focal point of the 'star man' than the navel (as in Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man), which was once the central point from where all the geometrical proportions emanated. Wayne says it not surprising this distortion of the original came about. In the case of the age old Cerne Giant found at Dorset (shown lower down), it seems the genitalia form the cosmic pointer to the area of the sky that repeats the solution to all the star maps that have been found by the author. The same is true for a similar painting of a man in the Lascaux caves that dates back 17 000 years, where the human anatomy acts as a cosmic pointer to the celestial bull. In both instances the genitalia have mistakenly been confused with the 'sacred geometric centre' of the human form… hence the distortion of the meaning of the pentacle in later years.

16 years ago I attended a birth... one of my best friend's daughter was born. It was one of the most amazing opportunities I have ever had in my life.
Oddly enough I teach HypnoBirthing now and it was the first hand experience I can fully share with my Mom's. (HypnoBirthing offers natural child birth classes)
At the time I journalled about the experience. At the start of this year I came across that journal. There were so many things I had forgotten about during this day.
For a present I art journalled the whole story and gave it to the 16 year old.
Here's how some of it turned out....
Wishing you a fantastic week with some awesome memories!
xPS. Some of the artwork in this piece are from other's that I printed, cut and paste into this journal. Most of it is artwork I created myself though.

Q: at what point do we stop using the aesthetics of comfort to guard against the emerging aesthetics of collapse?

I appreciate you taking the time to post a comment and thought I'd answer your question here. I'm not sure what you consider to be the "aesthetics of comfort", nor do I know what you consider to be the "emerging aesthetics of collapse" that you're suggesting we need to guard against. I think your 'question' is really more of a statement. :)

|The impact of a tick size reduction in Futures Markets: evidence from the Sydney Futures Exchange
|Alampieski, Kiril
|Sydney Futures Exchange, Futures Markets, tick size reduction
|Issue Date:
|This dissertation examines the impact of a reduction in the minimum price increment on market quality and price impact in the 3 Year Commonwealth Treasury Bond Futures contract. Prior to the tick size reduction, the minimum tick was one basis point. However, as of December 15, 2006, the minimum price increment was reduced to half a basis point. Using two data sets, the first provided by SIRCA and the second a proprietary data set provided by the Sydney Futures Exchange, this study is the first to examine how a reduction in minimum tick affects both market quality and price impact in a futures market setting. This thesis contributes to, and extends, the literature on minimum tick size reductions in several ways. First, this thesis extends the tick size literature into futures markets. Second, the proprietary data set allows an analysis of how the reduction in tick size affects the price impact of institutional trade packages. Finally, this dissertation is the first tick size study to consider both the seasonality in bond futures trading as well as the virtual round-the-clock trading of futures. Results indicate that bid-ask spreads and quoted depth are significantly reduced after the tick reduction. While the price impact of small trades is insignificantly different from zero in all periods examined, after the tick size reduction, large trade packages experience reductions in price impact. These findings suggest that overall market quality has improved after the reduction in minimum tick. The improvements in market quality are isolated to the 3 year bond futures contract, with minimal variations in control contracts. Robustness tests isolate market quality improvements to the 3 year bond futures and attribute the improvement to the reduction in minimum tick.

I still want him. All of him. His arms around me. I miss him. Deeply. Insanely. Am I crazy? I think so. I'm not wanting the sex. I'm not wanting the sex or the passion. I'm wanting him. The him I fell inlove with. The him I constantly crave. Like some drug addicted prisoner. Perhaps it's not love,it's probably just crazy infatuation. Crazy infatuation that I can't have him. Crazy infatuation that I hope he is the one. For me. For always. It is a pulling emotion. A pulling heart. A hurting. I know it's crazy and I come across as crazy,obsessive and completely pyscho but who am I to stop what my heart wants,when all my heart wants is you. It's not like you don't know. It's not like I haven't told you. It's just that I sit here. Waiting. Waiting for you to say something. Dammit! Anything really. I want him. I need him. Perhaps the picture I've painted is not a reality. Perhaps the picture I've painted is obscured. Perhaps the picture I painted is not you,it is not me. It is an alternate universe where love happens. An alternate universe when you see me and I see you. Some crazy Hollywood shit. I want him. I want you. Think what you may but my heart is pained. It is in pain. I am in pain. I AM IN PAIN!!!!!! I want you. I need you. Where are you? Notice me.
I don't care how stupid I sound or naive I sound. I just don't care. It had to be said. I had to say it. Notice Me.
