If particles of dark matter are accumulating inside the Sun then we could use neutrinos to detect them.
A short article in this week’s Science, by Joseph Silk from Oxford University’s Department of Physics and Ilidio Lopes of the Instituto Superior Técnico, Portugal, suggests how this might be done.
They propose that the presence of dark matter in the Sun’s interior would cause a small but potentially significant drop in its central temperature. They calculate that in some scenarios an isothermal core – a region of constant temperature – should form, and this core could be picked up by neutrino detectors such as Canada’s Sudbury Neutrino Observatory [SNO].
“The existence of a dark matter isothermal core in the Sun would produce a unique signature written in the energies of solar neutrinos,” Joseph tells me.
“We calculate that the existence of dark matter in the Sun’s core could lead to a 4 per cent decrease in its central temperature and a 3 per cent increase in the central density of the Sun.”
Dark matter inside the Sun would decrease its central temperature by providing an additional way for redistributing the heat inside the solar core. The models developed by Joseph and Ilidio Lopes show that it should be possible to distinguish changes in the core produced by dark matter from those produced by other effects.
Professor Joseph Silk is based at Oxford University’s Department of Physics. | 307 | 278 |

It’s April 2nd or we can also refer to this day as ninth annual Autism Awareness Day. This is a day that the world celebrates as a whole to raise awareness and funding for people with autism. Autism is a very generic term for people that have a number of different disorders all relating to the development of the brain. It is diagnosed before a child turns 3 years old in an effort to help the child develop in areas they may need help in. These areas normally include learning, communicating, and physical difficulties. Awareness of autism is extremely important so that people can understand and find out what they can do to try and make a difference.
On this day, many organizations around the world will light their buildings blue, to support the “Light it Up Blue Campaign” in an effort to shine a light on people with autism. If your organization decides to do this, make sure you share it on social media using the #liub hashtag.
This day is in an effort to bring people from around the world together to aid in research, diagnosis, treatment, and overall awareness of those living with autism. Our insurance branches will definitely be thinking about all the people who have autism and we will be holding them in our hearts today. Do some research and find out what you can do to help. Every small action means a world of difference.

Considering the variety amongst students at universities today, it can be quite hard to imagine a time when the institutions in which people spend three of the most formative years of their lives were once reserved for a certain type of student: a male. Before 1878, when the University of London introduced admittance for women to gain degrees, not one university in the UK acknowledged women as intellectual counterparts worthy of education at their institution. It was on the back of the ‘first wave’ feminist movement in the mid-1800s that the ideas thought up decades before, by the likes of Margaret Cavendish and Mary Wollstonecraft, finally gained momentum through circles of like-minded, privileged women with money – and therefore influence – who found themselves in a position to make a change.
These women – known as the Langham Place Group – were at the forefront of the women’s rights movement. This group included Emily Davies, who was particularly concerned with education for women. Davies paved the way for mixed sex universities by firstly creating higher education for women in their own right in the form of Girton College, Cambridge University.
Creating higher education solely for women was replicated elsewhere; for instance the London School of Medicine and Bedford College, London. By placing women on an equal footing, it became harder to keep universities reserved for only one gender.
Women were encouraged by the early liberal feminists of Langham Place in the 1860s, and by the university admitting them, to take classes. Although these classes lacked formal recognition, this form of higher education for women was prevalent within the University of London in the years before 1878.
Classes where women were welcomed initially started in 1830, although changing attitudes in academia enabled these classes to increase in number in the years before 1878. These changes were not limited to London either: women’s lecture associations were formed all over the UK, enabling them to attend lectures. Proving popular, examinations and colleges for women also became a more prevailing idea than before.
It is hard to say how far the legislation introducing degrees for women at the University of London affected wider society at the time. Although it undoubtedly led to more involvement of women in higher education at the University of London – 30 per cent of their graduates were female by 1900 – at this point education was still reserved for the privileged. The issue of women in higher education was fought by the middle classes and for the middle classes.
With the inclusion of women to universities in the years preceding 1878, and the changing attitudes of the time due to the fuel of ‘first wave’ feminism, the introduction of mixed sex universities was the next logical step for liberating women in the public sphere. Although it may have gained popular support due to the idea of women being trained into better wives and mothers, the granting of higher education to women has rightfully been about so much more than that. | 585 | 581 |
Spring has arrived and April is just around the corner, and just as it does every other year, Milan is about to open its streets to an extremely important event in its field, the most important fair that there is for designers and in general for workers in the home furnishing sector. We are obviously talking about the Salone del Mobile, an event that has been held yearly in the Italian design capital since 1961. Since then, it has always been a step ahead in exhibiting the most original and futuristic modern prototypes of the moment, including state of the art technology and cutting edge ideas, taking advantage of the collaboration of the world’s best designers. There are more than 300 companies who participate in the year’s most exciting design and furnishing event that cannot be missed. Italian Traditions wants to introduce you to some of the best and most innovative companies Made in Italy in the sector. Let’s take a look!
Dorelan: Dorelan is one of the best-known Italian companies specializing in the bedding sector, which has produced exclusive collections of mattresses, beds, pillows and furniture for the bedroom designed to ensure maximum comfort and a good rest for the whole family since 1968. Carefully selected raw materials, cutting-edge technological solutions, products that are certified by the most important international associations in the field from guarantee certifications at every phase of production – all make up the best resources used by Dorelan, for whom quality comes before anything else. (Via Due Ponti 9, Roncadello (FC), Tel. 0543 1917400).
Beby Group: President and creator of the menegerail project that transformed an initially local reality into a modern industrial power, Massio Soffiato started to work in the family business that produced luxury chandeliers where he got direct experience in the various stages of production. Here, Massiamo was able to learn about the different techniques of glass processing and metal welding while considering every object not only as just a simple piece to be sold, but as a genuine creation. Today, Beby is one of the best-known brands in the industry at an international level, a company that is noted for not focusing its resources in mass production, but instead on the product itself, the craft and art and attributes such as excellent quality and prestige, which are the heart and soul of the creations in the luxury goods market.

De Majo: De Majo was established after the war by Guide de Majo, who moved from his native Naples to the Venetian Lagoon, founding the first glass furnace in Murano in 1947. Thanks to a scrupulous business strategy and to constant attention to the quality of production, the company was an instant success, a protagonist of the Murano glass reality, home to hand blown glass, which quickly became a real industrial success. The traditional production of Venetian chandeliers have always supported the ongoing search for new forms of expression, which draw from the immense Italian heritage. Their chandeliers are a real exemplary of style that enrich the expressive language of glass art, highlighting all of the possible shades of the ancient and fascinating art. (Via G. Galilei 34, Mirano (VE), Tel. 041 57 29 653).

The bible frequently refers to demons and devils as serpents or serpentine creatures which live within the earth (stating the obvious).
Hitler was fond of drawing a reptilian humanoid and even tried to publish a book in 1909 around it. From his works, including Mein Kampf, he mentions meeting with "supermen" in underground bases and that their eyes "were fierce and I was afraid".

In cold-blooded animals, such as reptiles, frogs, and fish, body temperature varies with the surrounding temperature. The temperature of cold-blooded animals is always maintained slightly below the outside temperature.
A variable thermal environment is crucial for good health, periods of torpor are acceptable, and frequent feeding is not necessarily imperative. Most reptiles also rely substantially on chemosensory information in dealing with their environments.
Since the body temperature of reptiles changes with the temperature of the outside air, they have developed habits to help them control body warmth.
On hot afternoons many reptiles can be found in the shade, trying to keep from getting too hot. Different reptiles have different optimum temperatures. This means that each kind of reptile has a particular temperature that it likes best.
Summer hibernation is called estivation.Reptiles that live in very hot places often estivate.
Many reptiles, but especially lizards and snakes, have well-developed tongues that are used for different purposes.
Most reptiles are carnivorous--that is, they may catch live prey or scavenge on dead animals. A few lizards and turtles are herbivorous as adults
GLANDS IN LOWER JAW:
Lizard venom glands are located in the lower jaw.
DOUBLE CHIN (dewlap):
Dewlap, in reptile anatomy, a hanging fold of skin under the neck, i.e. like a double chin.
SHED SKIN IN PATCHES:
Lizards, crocodilians, and turtles shed their scales individually or in patches.
The reptile heart has the same function as the mammal heart: it pumps blood. The reptile heart and the mammal heart also have the same basic structure. One part of the reptile heart pumps blood through the lungs, and the other part pumps blood through the rest of the body.
In a heart with three chambers, blood with oxygen mixes with blood that does not have oxygen. This means that the cells and brain of a body with a three-chambered heart get less oxygen.
Different reptiles have extremely fine-tuned senses. In some cases, it may be vision, in others, taste (they taste the air around them), etc.
Certain species of female reptiles are known to be able to get pregnant and bear healthy children regularly, even without the presence of ANY male reptiles around to fertilize them.
Although most reptiles lay eggs, from which the babies hatch outside the mother, certain species of reptiles carry the eggs inside their body, so that when the eggs hatch, they are hatching from within the mother, and emerging from the mother, in a similar fashion to mammalian babies.

Extract from Leading Edge International Research Journal #92
The KSEO 4/26/96 Interview with Alex Christopher
Author of Pandora's Box and Pandora's Box II
Transcript 6/1/96 by Leading Edge Research Group http://www.cco.net/~trufax
Legend: DA (Dave Alan, Host) AC: Alex Christopher C: Caller
DA: Where is this flux field coming from? What do you think the purpose
of this is?
AC: I think that its coming from some kind of underground electrical
system, because where we were there were no power lines, and the whole
place was just buzzing with this free energy floating around. Very unusual.
In addition, there are areas in the underground that have chain-link
fences with the barbed wire tops pointed inward, like they were there
to keep people in, not keep people out. All these areas are there, acres
of it, and none of it is in active use. There are many terraced areas that
go down. One area in particular is forbidden to go into unless you are
wearing a biological protective suit. They say there is some kind of
"unidentified biological fungus" in that area that attacks people's
DA: Hmmm. Some kind of way to hide something that is in this area?
AC: Well, we think that area is one that leads to deeper levels underground
at the airport. But, it is surrounded by a chain-link fence and you can't
get in there. We think this is the area that one of the electricians kind
of stumbled into that went down about six levels below the fourth level,
and ran into some really weird stuff. He won't talk about any of it now.
DA: Real weird stuff.
AC: Also, at the airport there are what look like miniature nuclear
reactor cooling towers, and I don't understand why they are there. When
people asked, the reply is that they are part of the ventilation and exhaust
system. Ventilation and exhaust from where?
DA: What do you think its for?
AC: I think it is all hooked up to the deep underground.
DA: They say that this place looks like some underground "holding
area"...somewhat like a cattle lot....a place that could hold thousands
of people. The gates, fences....
AC: The luggage transport vehicles move on a full-sized double-lane
highway, and along this highway are chain-linked areas that could be used
for holding areas. I don't understand why they built this the way they
did, unless they planned to use it for something like that in the future.
DA: So what could all this be for?
AC: If Phil is right, and all this hooks up to the deep underground
base that he was offered the plans to build back in 1979, and that what
this other man told me in private that there is a lot of human slave labor
in these deep underground bases being used by these aliens, and that a
lot of this slave labor is children. He said that when the children reach
the point that they are unable to work any more, they are slaughtered on
the spot and consumed.
DA: Consumed by who?
AC: Aliens. Again, this is not from me, but from a man that gave
his life to get this information out. He worked down there for close to
20 years, and he knew everything that was going on.
DA: Hmmm. Who do these aliens eat?
AC: They specifically like young human children, that haven't been
contaminated like adults. Well, there is a gentleman out giving a lot of
information from a source he gets it from, and he says that there is an
incredible number of children snatched in this country.
DA: Over 200,000 each year.
AC: And that these children are the main entree for dinner.
DA: How many Draconians are down there?
AC: I have heard the figure of 150,000 just in the New York area.
DA: Underneath New York?
AC: Yes. In some kind of underground base there.
DA: Interesting. Now, you've seen pictures of these things?
AC: I have seen them face to face.
DA: You have?
AC: Yes. From some information that has been put out by a group or
team that also works in these underground bases that is trying to get information
out to people that love this country, there is a war that is going on under
our feet, and above our heads, that the public doesn't know anything about,
and its between these alien forces and the humans that are trying to fight
DA: What other types have you seen?
AC: The ones that I have seen are the big-eyed Greys and the Reptilians.
DA: What do these Reptilians look like?
AC: There are three different types.
DA: Can you tell us how you happened to come into contact with them?
AC: When I lived in Florida in Panama City, at that particular time
the Gulf Breeze sightings were going on, and the area was virtually a hotbed
for strange events. I had neighbors that were into watching UFOs and getting
information about them. One night about 2:30 am, my neighbor called me
and was absolutely frantic, and wanted me to come over there. I ran over
there and went in the front door, and she and her boyfriend, who is a commercial
airline pilot, were in the living room scared out of their wits. I looked
over at her, and her eyeballs are rolling back in her head and she was
passing out and sliding down the wall. Her boyfriend was trying to tell
me what was going on, and I was feeling this incredible energy that felt
like it was trying to penetrate my head. So, I grabbed both of them and
pulled them both outside, where we stood for a while and talked...
DA: Some people would say that this is a case of demon possession...
AC: Oh, no. There was radiation in the room. The next day all of
her plants were dead. So, there was a massive amount of energy focused
on that room. Anyway, after about an hour had passed, we had discussed
what went on and decided to go back into the house. They had both been
in bed and were pulled out of their bed during the night. All they remember
is a flash of light in their faces and the next thing they know they're
both scared to death. But, when we went back into the house, I noticed
that the man had a small palm-print on his side with fingers that must
have been 10 inches long, with claw marks on the end that were burned into
his side. The next day, that area was so swollen that he could not touch
it. I have video pictures of these things on his side. The prints were
there from someone bending down from behind him and pulling him out of
bed. They had been making love, and somebody lifted him off of her and
left these burns there.
Anyway, they were both totally flipped out. I finally got them calmed
down enough to ket me go home. I went home and went to bed. The next thing
I know, I woke up and there is this "thing" standing over my
bed. He had wrap-around yellow eyes with snake pupils, and pointed ears
and a grin that wrapped around his head. He had a silvery suit on, and
this scared the living daylights out of me. I threw the covers over my
head and started screaming....I mean, here is this thing with a Cheshire-cat
grin and these funky glowing eyes...this is too much. I have seen that
kind of being on more than one occasion.
DA: What else can you say about it?
AC: Well, he had a hooked nose and he was very human looking, other
than the eyes, and had kind of grayish skin. Later on in 1991, I was working
in a building in a large city, and I had taken a break about 6:00, and
the next thing I knew it was 10:30 at night, and I thought I had taken
a short break. I started remembering that I was taken aboard a ship, through
four floors of an office building, and through a roof. There on the ship
is were I encountered Germans and American's working together, and
also the Grey aliens, and then we were taken to some other kind of facility
and there I saw the reptilians again ... the one's I call the "baby
Godzilla's", that have the short teeth and yellow slanted eyes, and
who look like a veloci-raptor, kind of.
DA: So, why would these people pick on you?
AC: Well, I found one common denominator in the abduction, and it
keeps on being repeated over and over again. I deal with lots of people
who have been anducted, and the one common denominator seems to be the
blood line, and its the blood line that goes back to ancient
Indian or Native American blood lines.
DA: Are these people looking for genetic material?
AC: Well, I don't know if it is a very ancient blood line that they
want to try and stop, or what the reasoning is. I know that I was
asked some questions, like how I was capable of doing some of the psychic
things I was doing at the time. But, it is very unusual to find anybody
that remotely thinks they have been taken that doesn't have the Indian
blood line, somewhere.
DA: Now, after that experience, what happened after that? What were
some of the other times you saw some of these beings?
AC: Well, at that facility I saw the almond-eyed Greys, but the thing
that sticks in my mind are the beings that look like reptiles, or the veloci-raptors.
They are the cruelest beings you could ever imagine, and they even smell
hideous. There were a couple of very unusual areas down there where I was
taken which looked like cold storage lockers, where these things were in
hibernation tubes, and that it about all I remember, other than seeing
some black helicopters and little round-wing disk type aircraft. At that
point, the memory seems to be cut off and I can't tap throught to anything
else. They're there, folks.
DA: Maybe I'll open up some phone lines, and maybe we'll talk about
Al Bielek and some things you discussed with him. Are you open to that?
Caller (C): On those ships where the Germans and Americans were,
did they have any kind of an insignia on their uniforms?
AC: Yes, they did. I have been told that the organization is called
"The Black League" by people that might know. A blue triangle
with a red-eyed black dragon, with a circle around it. It was very unusual.
There's another woman that has written a book about an encounter she had
in Fort Walden. I met her some years back, and we were taking about things
we've seen. She also talked about this strange insignia. She and I both
sat down a drew what we saw, and they were virtually carbon copies of each
other. (Editor Note: See the symbol on the shirt sleeve of the Israeli
soldier comforting the Rabin's daughter at his funeral in Israel, shown
in Newsweek 11/20/95. Winged serpent similar to that seen by Herbert Schirmer
and reprinted in Crux #4 in 1989. The comparison will be shown in Leading
In the book "Cosmic Conflict", the author talks about the ancient
city that was uncovered by the Germans before World War II, and tells about
their effort to revive some frozen humans they found in this underground
city, and that the true humans couldn't be revived, but the ones that could
be revived were in fact reptilians in disguise, and they reptilians
have the capability to do shape-shifting and create a holographic
image so when you look at them you see a human, but under that
there is a human there. It's like a "deja vu" of the movie They
Live. Cathy O'Brien, who wrote Trance-Formation in America,
revealed that George Bush projected a hologram that he was a reptilian
.... real crazy stuff, but if this technology that they possess is there,
why couldn't a race do something like that ... these people that are working
with our government?
C: I believe that, but I do believe that these are demons that manifest
themselves as alien beings, and that this has been going on for a long
DA: Demons? Who are demons?
C: Fallen angels.
DA: The reptilians look like that anyway. All the scriptures around
the planet talk about serpent beings. What do you think, Alex?
AC: Well, I think that's pretty much what the bottom line is. Also,
they talk about the rapture...
DA: It could be like an alien "thanksgiving".
AC: These people that have done all this research and are part of
the underground government are telling that the humans on this planet have
been at war with these reptilian aliens for thousands of years. At one
point, things got so hot on the planet, like it is now, aliens took on
this holographic image and infiltrated the human race in order to take
it over and undermine it, just like this New World Order is doing right
now. They're saying that the same thing happened to civilization on Earth
before, and that the humans before actually had the capability for interplanetary
travel, and that it was so bad here with the reptilians that they had to
DA: I think that this has been going on for hundreds of thousands
AC: Yes. What they are also saying is that these beings that are
human-looking that are visiting our planet, at this time, trying to inform
people what is going on, and guide them, are actually our ancestors
that escaped the Earth before when it was under reptilian domination.
DA: What is your take on these crop circles?
AC: Oh, the crop circles that are the real ones are a type of geometric
language containing some kind of information. There was one that was a
Mandelbrot fractal. How do you fake that? They say that there are a lot
of crop circles going on in the United States, and that the government
shuts the information off about their occurrance.
DA: Canada and Australia as well.
C: It seems that we are having an increase in these encounters and
AC: Things are escalating at an incredible rate. I think a lot of
these movies in the media are trying to get us softened up for what they
plan to unleash on us.
C: So, in just a matter of years, they plan to bring it out and bring
people to that airport?
AC: You know, Reagan said more than once that the only thing that
would bring people together would be some kind of "outside force".
DA: Exactly, I remember that. He said that several times.
AC: I went to South Florida a couple of weeks ago and interviewed
a man who had done research for 30 years, and oddly enough, he tapped into
some of the same information I had, in that our government has had round-winged,
saucer-type technology, high mach speed aircraft since the 1920's, and
that in 1952 they had over 500 of these aircraft hidden in secret bases.
Now, if they had that in 1952, considering that military technology
grows by 44 years for every year that goes by, what do you imagine they
have now, 44 years later, after technology has advanced the equivalent
of 1,936 years?
C: About two or three months ago, I went to do a business transaction
with a fellow I have known for about two or three years, and one of his
relatives had just died -- we were pretty close, and we got into a deep
conversation about stuff, and he told me he worked in an underground military
base in Colorado. I asked him what he did there, and he said that if he
did he'd have to kill me. I told him I didn't want to know. I was really
shocked, and didn't know what to think of it, and then I heard this program.
I want to know what your guest thinks about the Iron Mountain report the
government did in the 1960's, and if that ties into the Nazis and the American's
working together. Also, this would also explain George Washington's vision
where this country was invaded from the East by a foreign power, and then
when all hope seemed lost, the angels of God would come down and the nation
would be saved. Anyway, I never could understand why angels of God would
come down and fight with men to save a puny little country that has been
around for only 200 years, but in this scenario, there seems to be some
AC: Yes, the Iron Mountain report. The guy that claims to be the
author of it now claims that it was nothing more than a joke, but for a
joke, it seems to be following the time line to the hilt, so I think it
was something that made its way out and they are trying to cover that up.
Everything that was in that report is happening in great detail right now.
C: Do these reptilians bleed if they get shot?
DA: Has anybody ever killed one?
AC: Phil Schneider did. He killed several of them. When he was involved
cutting some tunnels at Dulce, he was lowered down a shaft and ended up
in a nest of these things. He and some of his team were in there, and some
of the Delta Force came in. They had a shootout with these aliens, and
he killed a couple of them before they got a round off and shot him with
some sort of laser weapon. He used to pull his shirt up and show me where
they darned near blew a hole in his chest with whatever kind of laser weapon
they were using.
DA: So they can be killed, then?
AC: Yes, if you have the drop on them. They die just like everyone
else. They consist of mass just like we do.

I read the Denver posting and found it rather interesting. However, one small fraction of the text struck me as highly disturbing. In response to the caller who asked if there were any symbols in the murals (on the uniforms of the Germans and Americans) there was mention of a black dragon w/red eyes in a blue triangle with a circle around it.
Now that might not seem so unusual...but I immediately thought of numerous things I had read in the past that "clicked" with that description. Where do I begin?
First of all, a dragon is mentioned in so many different prophecies I can't count them, from the Bible to questionable prophets like Nostradamus and Mother Shipton. I have seen speculation that the 'dragon' is ... or perhaps was ... an additional planet in our solar system. Furthermore, this planet -- inhabited by reptilian aliens -- either exploded or was literally moved away. Remember, I'm only relating speculations here but...
Scientists recently discovered that the Kuyper belt is composed of two colors of rock...a red and an ordinary tan. This was an unexpected discovery but it seems (tentatively) to indicate that there was a massive collision of planetary size sometime in the past of our solar system and that both participants were either destroyed or the larger was fragmented and knocked out of orbit around the sun. Also, this dragon supposedly plays a huge part in whatever monumental events are to take place.
Just as interesting as the dragon was the triangle within a circle. That may seem mundane but not necessarily so. It takes a bit of explaining and unfortunately I have to partially credit Richard Hoagland's research (a man whom I am less than impressed with) as well as many other sources of data. Let me save time and space by summarizing the finer details:
1. The numbers 19.5 and 33 are frequently found in odd circumstances surrounding NASA and unusual features/events such as lunar landings and photography of the Cydonia region (as well as other sites on both Mars and the lunar surface). This also includes derivatives of 33...especially 11 and 22.
2. The Dogon tribe believes Sirius to be the home of their Gods the Nommos. A race of reptilian beings.
3. The Egyptian pyramids (or any such pyramids) are composed of equilateral triangles.
4. In the Great Pyramid is a shaft that points directly at Sirius when it is elevated 19.5 degress above earth's horizon.
5. When the first lunar landing took place, it was 33 minutes before Sirius was at 19.5 degress above the horizon. When it reached precisely that elevation, Armstrong and Aldrige commenced a (admittedly) religious ceremony of wine consumption. This ceremony (if I recall correctly) is of Egyptian religious nature honoring the Egytptian god Osiris (Orion).
6. The original Apollo mission logo did in fact feature the Orion constellation, which seems particularly odd considering Apollo was a lunar expedition.
7. When the "face on mars" photos were taken, Leo (the Sphinx) and Orion (Sirius, the tip of Orion the hunter's sword) were both at 19.5 degrees above the horizon of Mars.
8. The 'Tycho' anomoly on the lunar surface was photographed by the Clementine sattelite when Orion was 19.5 degrees above the lunar surface.
9. The triangle within a circle is an egyptian heiroglyph. Regrettably (very much so) I cannot recall what the symbol represented at this time, nor have I found it yet while searching the web.
10. The points of a equilateral triangle within a circle are at an exact tangent of 19.5 degrees.
Now then... having stated all this, I still draw few conclusions.
The possibility of the NASA missions relating to Orion and the 19.5 degree elevation is -- I am certain -- is one in tens-of-millions. If in fact there are murals in Denver which depict the things described in Max's posting, not the least of which being a symbol of a dragon/triangle/circle, then I would probably apply the same odds of coincidence.

Tasmania's pandemic death toll has risen to 54.
Three new COVID-related fatalities have been confirmed from the weekend in the latest figures from public health.
"These persons, whose deaths were caused or contributed to by COVID-19, were two men and one woman, aged in their 40s, 50s and 70s, one each day since Friday," Premier and Health Minister Jeremy Rockliff said.
900 new cases have been recorded, a slight increase on yesterday's daily infection number of 816.
46 COVID-positive patients are in Tasmanian hospitals, but only 21 of those being treated specifically for virus symptoms, including two in intensive care.
Active cases statewide remain steady at 6261. | 150 | 146 |
Text messaging, known in the vernacular as “texting,” has become a frequently used communication tool for exchanging written messages through a cell phone. Though it is an easy, quick and efficient mode of social connection, it poses some physical and emotional challenges and serious risks to the users and society.
The social advantages of texting, initially popularized by teenagers, have extended to parents as well as seniors for various reasons.
For adolescents, the use of texting today has replaced the phone use of yesteryear. In “Understanding 12-14-Year-Olds,” Margot Waddell reports that youngsters gain “uninterrupted access to each other’s lives, a continuous hotline to the minutiae of moment-by-moment relations and tribulations,” that helps them feel connected and supported and “leaves many parents feeling entirely bypassed and redundant.”
Rebecca Huntley, in “The World According to Y,” extends the age span when she says, “Communication technology – in the form of mobiles, e-mail, online chat and of course texting – has become an indispensable tool for Gen-Yers, (people born on or after 1982), in maintaining their friendship networks (and their own status within it).”
More adults text their children to receive quicker responses. “It is pretty clear that the increasing rate of text adoption in recent years is fueled by our children altering how we stay in touch with them,” said Kim Dixon, Senior Vice President of retail for Sprint.
Adults, ages 55-64 are also sending more text messages. Their numbers have risen over the last two years from 13 percent according to Pew Research to 20 percent reported by Sprint.
Psychologically, being able to reach loved ones and be acknowledged promptly, increases our sense of value. Gladeana McMahon, Fellow of the British Association for Counseling and Psychotherapy affirms, “People who become dependent on texting and emailing are desperate to feel connected and in control.”
Physically, using a small keyboard with two fingers or thumbs may be strenuous. Neurologist Orly Avitzur, found that, “Repetitive-strain injuries are the most common side effects of text messaging usage.”
Educationally, teachers have complained that abbreviations and spelling mistakes used in texting have impacted students’ academic papers, as reported by Donita Massengill Shaw in “An Exploratory Investigation into the Relationship between Text Messaging and Spelling.”
The riskiest outcome of texting is its use during driving. Pew Internet Project reported that, “27% of all American adults say they have sent or read text messages while driving. That compares with 26% of American teens ages 16-17 who reported texting at the wheel in 2009.”
Being connected to others is a valid human need, but it cannot be so compelling that we risk our own and other people’s lives.
• Respect your teenagers’ need to text their friends – it satisfies their sense of belonging and worth.
• Benefit from texting as a parental supervision tool and as an expeditious message delivery system.
• Model for your children full abstinence from texting in the car and insist on their compliance. It is a life-saving measure. | 690 | 643 |

Estonia is a young country but a very old nation. Archeology and DNA suggests that the Estonians or their relatives have been on living on the shores of the Baltic Sea for several thousand years.
After being conquered in the early thirteenth century by the Teutonic Knights, the Estonians endured German rule under various overlords: Danish, Swedish, Polish, Russian until 1918.
The Germans- unlike the Normans who invaded England a hundred and forty years before- never assimilated with the local population, at least not linguistically, indeed until 1816 the Germans owned Estonians as slaves. However, the national awakening that followed the liberation of the serfs- nearly two generations before the rest of the Russian Empire- created a strong sense of cultural identity.
On February 24th, Estonia celebrates the point where culture, education and above all language found a political expression in independence. This independence was dearly bought, with wars against both Russia and German freikorps. Yet won it was. Although the Second world war brought occupation, first by Stalin, then by Hitler, then by Stalin again, still the Estonian people survived. Of the 92 years of the legal existence of Estonia, 45 years were under occupation by the Soviet Union. Arguably longer, since it was not until 1994 that the last Russian troops left the country. By the time of the 100th anniversary- in 2018- then only then will the Estonian times have lasted longer than the Soviet times. However it will only be in 2012 that the second independence will have lasted longer than the first.
However as we celebrate Estonia, we can begin to feel greater confidence that it is not just the huge achievements of the Estonians, in music, art, literature, the economy, culture and sport, that will be lasting, but the Estonian state itself. Estonia by a miracle was able to take her place amongst the nations in 1918, and by a further miracle to resume that place peacefully in 1991.
Historically Estonia was a bone of contention between Sweden and Russia. It is now a slight irony that Estonia, as a member of NATO, is defended by far greater military power than its former masters now possess.
Although the country faces challenges, it no longer faces an existential fight for survival- and that at least is great cause for celebration. | 473 | 485 |
Thank you! Although I am not surprised. An average of over 92% ‘Yes’ votes to strike action on an average 88% return is stunning – with more to come. The proclaimed purpose of the Tories’ trade union legislation is so that businesses can know the impact of any action. Strange, then, that I was asked on television what it meant! I said, ‘Sadly, no trains running’.
We are getting the inevitable legal challenges on petty things but, rather than drag the process through the courts, which could take ages, we are simply re-balloting to get bigger and stronger mandates. The companies and the government do not understand concepts such as solidarity and unity. They are struggling to comprehend what is happening this summer, what happens when workers stand together, and what they have unleashed. We have teachers, lecturers, barristers, postal workers, council workers, and people working in telecoms being balloted with more in the pipeline. Maybe the message on the cost of living crisis – and all workers deserving an increase – will get through?
We have been on numerous television and radio programmes, and in many newspapers, making our case and have given evidence to the Transport Select Committee – none of which seems to have deterred the government from the path it has chosen. There has been massive positive feedback from what I clearly called the government’s ‘scab charter’. Making the point that, in industries like ours, such things are never forgotten. Only scab companies can use scab labour and the long-term damage to industrial relations after such actions can be catastrophic.
The question of minimum service levels came up and it was made quite clear that it was both unworkable and only likely to lengthen any strife. We do not like to strike but have been pushed into it. The other point we made was that our action is legitimate, as the private companies we work for have free collective bargaining, although the fact that they have chosen to enter into contracts with the government to keep their private snouts in the public trough has, it seems, negated that. We also pointed out that this government wishes to reduce the caps on the pay of directors and chief executives whilst capping the pay of workers and constraining the free market for labour in this country.
Some lies are coming home to roost. Mr P&O Shapps not only has allowed the government to sign contracts with that despicable company but brought in legislation to try and break us that was illegal and he condemned. Then, after weeks of denying the government’s role in restricting pay, he finally admitted it on television. I almost wish the King of the Ponzi scheme had won the Tory leadership election as we are now used to Tory Prime Ministers whose relationship with the truth is non-existent. Nice to see him talking about net zero for aviation; where is electrification and decarbonisation of our railways?
The other lie that is being nailed is that pay rises are fuelling inflation. That is not true. Government policy – they have been in power for twelve years now – and profiteering by companies are what’s driving inflation. Look at pay rise data and then look at company profits that have risen by 73% as RPI approaches 11% and the situation becomes more critical. All the Tory leadership candidates running on a platform of public sector – and other – cuts will only make the situation worse.
In this country we continue to cut timetables and maintain high fares while Ireland has cut train and bus fares, Germany has the nine euro ticket for short and medium journeys, and Spain has made all rail travel free for a month. France has also limited short haul air travel where there is a rail alternative and, across Europe, we are seeing sleeper and overnight services coming back. Luxembourg already has free public transport. So let’s nail another lie: public transport delivers for the economy and does not have to make a profit; it should be affordable and give value to the passenger and the taxpayer.
The train operating companies made hundreds of millions during the pandemic and are scheduled to make more post-pandemic whilst you have not had a pay rise. I come from the philosophy that the employers pay us, not the Monty Python sketch where we pay them for the privilege of working.
Stay strong, stay united, and we will prevail.

Here are some common shutter speeds you will find on most DSLR cameras:
- 1/15, 1/30, 1/60, 1/125, 1/250, 1/500, 1/1000, 1/2000, 1/4000
As you move from left to right, or as you increase the shutter speed, you are halving the amount of light that hits the sensor. In other words, you are decreasing the amount of light by one stop for each step. So 1/30 is half of 1/15, and 1/60 is half of 1/30. But then you come to 1/125, which is not half of 1/60. Half of 1/60 is 1/120. This is basic math.
So you break the sequence or pattern. But as you continue, it starts to make sense again. So 1/250 is in fact half of 1/125, and 1/500 is in fact half of 1/250, and 1/1000 is in fact half of 1/500, so on and so forth.
So there appear to be two distinct sequences here.
1/15, 1/30, 1/60
1/125, 1/250, 1/500, 1/1000, 1/2000, 1/4000
Is there a sane reason for this?
I know that people sometimes talk about half stops or even thirds of a full stop. But then what is 1/125 the half stop, or third stop of? If you increase 1/60 by a third you get 1/180. This setting does not exist in the standard sequence. The closest you will get is 1/160. If you increase 1/60 by a half, you get 1/120 and it doesn't exist either.
Is this all arbitrarily set by the camera manufacturers, or is there perhaps some reason and history behind this? | 390 | 428 |

Thank you. It’s unbelievable how toxic and negative this sub has become. We’re 9-7 right now. 4-1 in our last 5 games, with the only loss coming from a buzzer beater by the hottest player in the NBA. Are y’all the most spoiled brats on the planet or what?
ALSO. Stop spamming “we gotta fire WUJ” in every thread. Y’all are just wrong. He made roster adjustments at halftime and we outscored the Heat in the 3Q, 4Q, and OT. He also challenged a late game 3pt foul that got reversed. We won by 1.
Yes tonight’s win was disgusting, but we won. Please take my advice and enjoy it. As a longtime wizards fan, the fact that we have a winning record right now is awesome. | 188 | 178 |

username_0: Hi,
If possible, have you a photo of the T-962 LCD (UnifiedEngineering) F3 page (Manual Mode) with 4 TC connected (and no DS18B20 connected for cold junction) ?
The AIR LEFT and RIGHT temperatures should be presents, but can we also see TRAY LEFT and RIGHT temp ?
An average of AIR LEFT & RIGHT is also shown ? Or an average of the 4 TC ?
Or maybe an average of the TRAY LEFT & RIGHT, which should be logical (moreover if this average is taken as the Temperature for the PID).
Thanks a lot for your answer, I'm asking it before making this modification.

The traditional partys candidate for next many years delayed london mayoral election has lost the help of senior celebration officials and donors, with some keen to see him changed by a prominent title eg previous chancellor sajid javid.
Shaun bailey, a former childhood employee plus one associated with partys leading black numbers, had been chosen to take on labour mayor sadiq khan 2 yrs ago, but has actually struggled to produce headway.
The task of operating the brit money city is observed among the top jobs in british politics, coming with a higher profile and providing a launch pad to larger political roles. uk prime minister boris johnson presented the post between 2008 and 2016.
Amid developing doubts over mr baileys capacity to beat mr khan inside election postponed a year to after that may due to the coronavirus pandemic a few senior conservative party figures have finally informed the financial days they would like to see an alternative solution candidate run.
In a statement, a spokesperson for mr baileys promotion admitted that it was no secret that a tremendously few folks across the [tory] celebration would have favored some one more familiar.
However the spokesperson included: no body when you look at the conservative celebration is stupid adequate to attempt to drop shaun simply as he was landing hits on sadiq khan over their failures over tfl and general public protection, so when our capital has actually a way to elect its very first black mayor at the same time when taking individuals together has not been much more essential.
Nevertheless, celebration numbers saidthat in recent months, discreet conversations with mr javid about whether he would be interested in standing into the money as opposed to mr bailey had occurred.
Mr javid declined, in accordance with those with understanding of the specific situation. both quantity 10 downing street and a spokesperson for mr javid denied any strategy was made.
Senior celebration numbers have-been questioning mr baileys candidacy for some time, with one tory near conventional celebration hq saying: its undoubtedly correct that folks believe shaun could possibly be performing much better.
Some of the partys many prominent monetary backers are sceptical of mr baileys chances while having informed present co-chair ben elliot he is replaced.
One large conventional donor said: there is no way shaun can defeat sadiq. hes a pleasant man but hes hardly damaged 20 per cent inside polls. the entire year wait means we have the chance to reset the competition.
There's a view at traditional party hq that mr bailey had been chosen too-soon and dissuaded other candidates from coming ahead. some officials stated he had been not able to make headway against mr khan while brexit was a hot subject in the doorstep. no body in london desired to read about why brexit had been advisable, admitted one tory campaigner.
Their candidacy ended up being more hampered by rory stewart, the previous conventional international development secretary, just who intended to operate as separate but features since pulled out.
Regardless of the field narrowing, polls in march proposed mr khan would win quickly in a straight competition with mr bailey.
Others fear that mr bailey will also struggle the following year as soon as the traditional party seeks to use money from donors to shore up its poor financial position and save tasks without put it into a london promotion that some see as unwinnable.
Another celebration donor said, shaun just doesnt get it. at each donor conference he is wheeled on but he simply does not connect. being a politician doesnt seem to come naturally to him.
Other tories have defended mr bailey for their work principles during an arduous promotion. one minister stated: you can expect to always get individuals who moan and state, wouldnt it is nice if we could drop in a star title. but in which is it celebrity?
Mr bailey, 49, had been handpicked at that time frontrunner and previous prime minister david cameron to battle target marginal seats. he failed to get elected inside 2010 and 2017 general elections and served as an adviser to mr cameron.
Several in a position tories stated mr javid, who left the federal government in january after a dispute aided by the prime minister over their advisers, have been discreetly approached in recent weeks to gauge his interest in changing mr bailey. one individual stated mr javid was indeed sounded away with the debate which he had been the only one whom could overcome mr khan.

As for the Alchemy Authorities inside the room, they all showed assured expression in their faces, because they have memorized thousands of components in their numerous years of their life for an Alchemy Master. It turned out much like offering a Learn Chief cook a guide arrange to be able to prepare standard foods.
‘What the h.e.l.l is taking place? We have memorized 50 plus,000 substances, and i also can recall every one of them just like they may be written on the rear of my palm, still I actually not identify one of these components?! Just how is it potential? Are these elements that only stem from the Sacred Central Region? He got me! I should’ve recognized that it really wouldn’t be this straightforward!’ Senior citizen Zeng, among the most distinguished Alchemy Experts from the Eastern Continent, cried inwardly since he was amazed speechless by many new things that they have never even been aware of.
“What is your opinion in the primary examination?” Su Yang questioned them afterward.
Some time in the future, each of them remaining the Eliminating Lotus Sect and going to the a.s.sembly Hall, where countless people possessed already compiled and had been waiting for them.
Sometime after, the 2 of those eventually left the Using up Lotus Sect and going towards the a.s.sembly Hallway, where by countless individuals possessed already compiled and ended up waiting for them.
“Senior… are these elements in the Sacred Core Country?” One of them asked him.

Some time later, each of those left behind the Getting rid of Lotus Sect and headed to your a.s.sembly Hall, where hundreds of persons got already accumulated and were waiting for them.

‘What the h.e.l.l is occurring? I had memorized 50 plus,000 components, and that i can recall every one of them just like they can be prepared on the back of my fretting hand, yet I actually not recognise some of these components?! Just how is that this possible? Are these substances that only stem from the Sacred Key Region? He bought me! I should’ve acknowledged that it really wouldn’t be this easy!’ Older Zeng, one of the more renowned Alchemy Experts during the Eastern Region, cried inwardly since he was surprised speechless by so many new elements that they have never even heard of.
The people there promptly welcomed him with respectful bows.
The place instantly switched dead private, and every person within the room beside Su Yang possessed their view shut down to support their focus.
At some point afterwards, the 2 main of those left the Burning up Lotus Sect and headed towards the a.s.sembly Hallway, just where many people had already harvested and were definitely expecting them.
The folks there promptly greeted him with polite bows.
Once they found their success, more than half with the place proved a devastated phrase, even though others revealed pain relief with their confronts.
Every time they observed their results, over half in the place revealed a devastated term, while others showed comfort in their encounters.
“You shouldn’t compel yourself a lot. In the end, you are able to barely even walk within a direct line.” Su Yang shook his travel that has a laugh on his deal with.

14 days have pa.s.sed in the blink of an attention, and on the day on the Alchemy Evaluation, w.a.n.g Shuren wobbled beyond her area inside of a drunk-shopping manner, experience sore all around her body.
“As anticipated on the Sect Expert connected with an Exclusive Sect…” The individuals there silently highly regarded Bai Lihua.

Understand the particular strengths and needs of twice/multi exceptional learners.
"I didn’t succeed despite my dyslexia, but because of it. It wasn’t my deficit, but my advantage. Although there are neurological trade-offs that require that I work creatively [and] smarter in reading, writing and speaking, I would never wish to be any other way than my awesome self. I love being me, regardless of the early challenges I had faced."
In their profiles of the gifted and talented, Betts and Neihart (1988, 2010) describe twice- (2E) or multi-exceptional learners. These are learners whose special abilities are masked by learning, behavioural or physical disabilities. Some may be especially gifted in one aspect of learning but not in others.
2E or multi-exceptional learners are sometimes referred to as double-labelled, or having dual exceptionality. These are gifted learners whose performance is impaired, or their high potential is masked, by one or more specific learning disabilities, physical impairments, disorders or conditions. They may experience extreme difficulty in developing their giftedness into talent.
Gifted learners with disabilities are at risk, as their educational and social/emotional needs often go undetected. Educators often incorrectly believe that 2E learners are not putting in enough effort within the classroom. They are often described as ‘lazy’ and ‘unmotivated’. Hidden disabilities may prevent learners with advanced cognitive abilities from achieving high academic results. 2E learners perform inconsistently across the curriculum. The frustrations related to unidentified strengths and disabilities can result in behavioural and social/emotional issues.
Traditional methods of identification have not picked up gifted learners with learning disabilities, such as dyslexia. These learners typically score ‘average’ in standardised achievement tests. However, average scores often mask peaks and troughs in performance (i.e., both special abilities and disabilities). Significant discrepancies across test categories often indicate a learning disability, with scores from oral responses typically being much higher than scores from written responses. In addition, teachers can identify gifted learners who have learning disabilities by examining their behavioural profiles.
A typical profile might include:
Recognising and nurturing the gifts and talents of these learners is likely to require the involvement of specialist teachers and assistive technologies. Such learners often have a negative self-concept and may need support to recognise and value their areas of strength. Learners with learning disabilities who have also been identified as gifted respond positively to a responsive learning environment approach, especially if a Universal Design for Learning framework is used, leading to improvements in motivation, commitment, performance and self-concept.
Some gifted learners may have behavioural difficulties such as ADHD. Other learners may have exceptional gifts and talents and be identified as having an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
Some gifted and talented learners have physical and sensory disabilities. The ‘disabled gifted’ are among the ‘hidden gifted’ because their special abilities are masked by their more visible physical and sensory disabilities. However, by adulthood, their exceptional talent can be outstanding – consider, for example, musicians who are blind. Early identification of learners with disabilities who have special abilities is important. While teacher observation and the use of rating scales can be used to assist with this, some of the most effective methods of identification are self-, parent and peer nominations. However, caution is needed. While the observations of others are invaluable, the assessment of whether a child has a disability, and what that disability is, should be conducted by a suitably qualified specialist.
Working with learners who are exceptional in more than one way requires cooperation among classroom teachers and specialist teachers, as well as engagement by parents and whānau in developing individual educational plans. It is important that gifted learners’ strengths are recognised as soon as possible and that opportunities are provided for their development alongside remediation for any difficulties.
Be aware that 2E learners often perform as ‘average’ on standardised testing (i.e., between the 40th and 60th percentiles). Their high ability level enables them to find coping strategies to mask their learning disabilities. Their learning disabilities, in turn, limit their ability to achieve at a level that is commensurate with their high abilities.
It is important to look at the strengths of 2E learners separately from their weaknesses, rather than averaging their scores. Low scores or abilities in specific areas should be perceived as real weaknesses, not just ‘relative’ weaknesses.
The self-confidence of 2E learners often becomes a barrier to their participation in the classroom. They often withdraw and do not freely contribute their ideas, thereby reducing the opportunity to notice their high skill levels.
Helpful measures for assessment of 2E learners, or learners whom you suspect may be 2E:
For more-detailed information go to Inclusive Education (NZ).
Bright children are often referred to psychologists (or paediatricians), as they exhibit behaviours commonly associated with ADHD (e.g., restlessness, impulsivity or daydreaming). However, almost all of these behaviours can be present in gifted learners, particularly 2E learners. Little attention has been given to the similarities and differences between these two groups, which increases the potential for misidentification in both areas –giftedness and ADHD. While it is possible to be ADHD and gifted, it is also possible to present as ADHD but actually just be gifted and bored … or misunderstood.

APD is a hearing disorder in which the ears process sound normally but the brain cannot always understand or ‘hear’.
ASD includes Asperger Syndrome, which is a form of autism at the high-functioning end of the autism spectrum. People with Asperger Syndrome are of average (or higher) intelligence and generally have fewer problems with language, often speaking fluently, though their words can sometimes sound formal and ideas that are abstract, metaphorical or idiomatic may cause confusion and be taken literally. Unlike individuals with ‘classic’ autism, who often appear withdrawn and uninterested in the world around them, many people with Asperger Syndrome try hard to be sociable and do not dislike human contact. However, they still find it hard to understand non-verbal signals, including facial expressions.
If you suspect a child has characteristics of dysgraphia, an assessment with a paediatric occupational therapist may be useful to gain individualised strategies. | 1,371 | 1,327 |

That is not even close to what they're saying.
There are unrealistic expectations that many men are raised to believe. They're taught to not show emotion, to be aggressive, to be overly competitive, to not show empathy, to dislike people who don't fit those male expectations, etc.
That is not psychologically healthy, humans are sensitive animals who need to release emotion and be loved+loving, so if a guy builds up mental barriers and won't let themselves be a human- It will create lots of problems and cause mental illness and aggression. | 115 | 113 |
ITHACA, N.Y. - New research has identified genes that control vitamin E content in maize grain, a finding that could lead to improving the nutritional profile of this staple crop.
Cornell University scientists and colleagues from other institutions combined different types of genetic association analyses to identify 14 genes across the genome that were involved in the synthesis of vitamin E. Six genes were newly discovered to encode proteins that contribute to a class of antioxidant compounds called tocochromanols, collectively known as vitamin E. Along with antioxidant properties, tocochromanols have been associated with good heart health in humans and proper functioning in plants.
"We have established a near-complete foundation for the genetic improvement of vitamin E in grain of maize and other major cereals," said Michael Gore, associate professor of plant breeding and genetics and a co-corresponding author of the study published in the journal, The Plant Cell.
"There has been talk, among breeders working to increase provitamin A in maize, that we could increase vitamin E at the same time," said Christine Diepenbrock, a graduate student in Gore's lab, and the paper's first author. "They are related compounds biochemically, and tocochromanols are essential for seed viability in that they prevent seed oils from going rancid throughout seed storage, germination and early seedling development."
The other co-corresponding authors are Dean DellaPenna, professor of biochemistry and molecular biology at Michigan State University, and Edward Buckler, research geneticist at the U.S. Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service and adjunct professor of plant breeding and genetics at the Institute for Genomic Diversity in Cornell's Institute of Biotechnology.
The study was funded by the National Science Foundation, USDA-ARS, Cornell University startup funds, and USDA National Needs Fellowship.

Inspirational writing sharing my spiritual journey and lessons along the way.
I’ve been quiet for a while… and will you allow me to say “that’s okay”? I believe we need a time of quiet in our lives. Particularly in more difficult seasons. A time to be alone with ourselves and with God. And during these times, we don’t always have something to share. That really is okay, I believe.
During these almost two months since my last post, there are numerous draft blog entries started and not completed. In writing I process with myself and work through what God is teaching me. As God heals and gives clarity in those tender places of my heart, I will share with you. Promise.
I’m so strongly pressed upon right now in my struggle with ENOUGH. Am I enough? Do I do, serve, give enough? Am I a good enough wife? Or mom? Or daughter? Or sister? Or friend? Do I love well enough? Am I worthy of being loved enough? If it sounds exhausting, I can assure you if feels all the more weighty in my heart and head. Striking an even deeper cord of my soul’s fiber is the constant battle ENOUGH has played in my life. You see, this isn’t a new battle or a new lesson God is working through with me. I’m sure God might tire of me in this regard – that is if we propose Him a characteristics of anything less than total patience with his children.
One thing I know fully well is the inability to fully be all we are supposed to be while inside the struggle of enough. Living in the predisposition of not feeling enough, life becomes harder. Striving and doing and being more can become the driver in your days over the plan God intended for you. It becomes easy to miss the really wonderful things trying to be something more for some reason more that is way too much more than your perfected enough already. More is not immediately equal to better. Repeat – more is not immediately equal to better.
Equally in a battle with enough, we can quickly forget how wonderful people think we are just like we are – junk and all. At least for me, when I am feeling a highly “enough sensitive” time, I begin to think my friends and family, maybe, are worn out by me. I guess this is less about feeling like I need to be more, but more about thinking I am really just too much. If I could only be normal enough. Or have my act together enough. Do you do this too – think your struggles make you “not enough”? Maybe we all have stories we haven’t told, but certainly we all have struggles. The sooner we admit it and stop acting like we have our act together, the sooner we can love one another well and minister to the hearts of those around us.
Most recently I’ve been battling old voices from my past screaming rejection in totally tangible ways and I am determined to push through stronger this time. Who would believe 20+ year hurts could still cut so deeply? Scars transform to open wounds quickly in the battle of enough. When the behaviors become mimicked in other close relationships, it becomes even more difficult to fight off enough. If “he can do this” and “she can do that” and “they did this” – obviously, I am the common denominator, it is because I didn’t do something enough? Sound familiar? Immediately, I pray for all who feel this in their core. In Jesus name, we have to stop. God’s heart breaks over our broken heart and wants us to feel His love right now. Right this very moment, God is whispering into our hearts – YOU ARE ENOUGH.
I am made worthy in the blood of Jesus.
I am chased after and adored by my heavenly Father.
I am accepted in the family, adopted by the King of kings.
Pray with me: Dear Heavenly Father God, we love you so much God and are so grateful for the opportunity to come to you with all our inadequacies. Thank you for loving us through all of our junk and giving us your word to turn our fears into confidences. Give us strength to remain steadfast in your truth, so that we only desire to be what you have made us to be. Not more, not less – just perfectly enough as you designed. In Jesus name, Amen.

The Super Volcano sitting underneath Yellowstone National park is two and a half times bigger than originally thought ( 55 Miles Across x 9 Miles Deep ). It hasn't erupted in over 640,000 years. But if and when it does again, it would be catastrophic to the North American continent.
If that thing blows, it'll affect the Midwest with lots of ash. Matter of fact, it'll affect the whole world - look at history of the "year w/o a summer" after an Indonesian volcano blew (Tamboro?), a lot smaller than this thing.
When it erupts with in the first 200 mile, life will cease to exist in minutes. NYC could be under 3 feet of ash. Earth quakes in the USA and Canada [ as well as else where ] could be 9+ on the Richter Scale. In less than a week, the fall out of the ash will block the suns rays and cool the planet into an Ice age. the eruption could last decades... When is the first launch to Mars?
Better ask the ancient ones, havent any of you looked at native beliefs? Three levels of existance, I would think those looking at Taos would have. | 241 | 246 |
The Sinch is not much to look at, we'll give you that, but it is rather an interesting little thing. Intended to keep your headphone cable a little more tidy, it's just a couple of slender magnets encased in a rubber band with a hole punched on one end. It's a remarkably simple design, and a surprisingly effective one, too. We got a chance to wrap our cables around one, so read on for some quick impressions.
The simple packaging for the Sinch doubles as an instruction manual, a few pictures showing you how to use the thing. Spoiler alert: you stick the business end of your headphone cable in through the hole on one end, then wind the rest around your phone or player like normal, leaving the Sinch wedged in between the cable and the device. When you've wrapped enough, clap one magnetic end of the thing over to the other and, hey presto, your cabled life just got a little tidier. If your device has a metal case (hello, iPod touch) it's even more effective, but even on the plastic-backed Droid Charge it worked like a charm.
The Sinch is the product of a collaboration between Dune Road Design and Frog (the company behind the recent dual-screened Android prototype we gave you an early look at), and while it isn't necessarily more effective than the myriad other cable organizers out there, the big advantage here is size: the Sinch is so small and light you won't even notice it. You might notice the cost: $15.99, which seems steep for a hunk of rubber and a couple little lodestones. $9.99 would have been more appropriate, but if you hate tangles and like traveling light, give it a go. Or, if you don't mind making a little more noise, there's always Velcro.
NEW YORK, September 12, 2011 – When it comes to managing their messy headphones, Americans want a better way to live tangle-free. In fact, a recent survey* of more than 2,000 adults shows that 88 percent wish there was a way to keep their headphone cords from tangling. The survey, commissioned by Dune Road Design LLC, maker of the Sinch, also revealed that more than two-thirds of wired headphone users are frustrated by tangled cords and more than half spend at least a minute per day untangling their cords. Fortunately, the Sinch-a new, high-design answer to the problem of keeping smart device cords tangle-free-is now available for purchase in black or white for $15.99 through Facebook and www.thesinch.com. Additional colors and new, complementary products will be available shortly.
"The Sinch was founded out of a moment of pure tangled frustration," said Wayne Rothbaum of Dune Road Design and inventor of the Sinch. "I knew this was a problem that many people face, especially those who take pride in the quality and appearance of their personal electronic devices."
"At its core, the Sinch product is a great example of how frog designers and engineers work together with clients to solve an everyday problem – in this case, tangled headphone cords – with an innovative, elegant solution," said Robert Curtis, executive director of product design at frog. "We are thrilled by our collaboration with Dune Road Design, which extends beyond the design of the product itself. We worked closely with the company from early ideation to product industrialization."
The marketing campaign promoting the launch of the Sinch continues to generate buzz online. Consumers can see the "Invasion of The Sinch" unfold by following the fictitious investigative reporter, Rick Sims of The Sims Report, who keeps the public informed on strange happenings through a video series, Twitter account, and detailed blog. Taking a cue from classic horror and science-fiction films, the Invasion campaign plays up the dangers caused by cord tanglement and introduces consumers to the Sinch in a surprising way.
To learn more about the Sinch and experience the Invasion, please visit its social channels: Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter.
