SINGAPORE: Singapore and its northern neighbour Malaysia are embroiled in a maritime dispute after Malaysia extended its Johor Bahru port limits in a manner which, according to the Singapore government, "encroaches into Singapore's territorial waters off Tuas".
Singapore has also protested "provocative acts" by Malaysia in recent months including intrusions by Malaysian government vessels into Singapore territory, and a visit by Johor Chief Minister Osman Sapian to a Malaysian vessel parked in Singapore waters.
On Jan 8, both sides agreed to establish a working group to study and discuss legal and operational matters on the dispute, in order to de-escalate the situation on the ground.
1979: Malaysia publishes a map depicting the territorial waters it claims. This included its claim on Pedra Branca, as well as on areas at the eastern and western approaches to Singapore. The boundary lines that Malaysia claimed at the western approach intruded into the port limits of Singapore. Singapore was not consulted in the making of this map.
1980: Singapore lodges a diplomatic protest with Malaysia over the 1979 map, asserting that the boundary lines indicated in the map violated Singapore's sovereignty and that Pedra Branca belongs to Singapore.
1987: Malaysia publishes its Johor Bahru port limits, which tracks the territorial sea limits claimed in its 1979 map.
1995: Singapore and Malaysia conclude the 1995 Agreement between the Government of Malaysia and the Government of the Republic of Singapore to Delimit Precisely the Territorial Waters Boundary in Accordance with the Straits Settlements and Johore Territorial Waters Agreement 1927.
1997: Singapore's port limits to the west of Raffles Lighthouse are extended slightly for better regulation of shipping traffic in the vicinity. Until 2018, this was the last time Singapore amended its port limits.
1999: Malaysia publishes its amended Johor Bahru port limits, which still tracks the territorial sea limits claimed in its 1979 map. For the next 20 years, this limit has remained intact. Singapore continues to exercise its jurisdiction in the waters now covered by the extension of the port limits, without any protest from Malaysia.
Oct 25, 2018: Changes to the Johor Bahru port limits are announced through Malaysia's Federal Government Gazette in a document published by the Attorney-General's Chambers. The altered port limits extend significantly eastward beyond the territorial sea claim in the area made in Malaysia's 1979 map.
Nov 5: Singapore lodges a "strong protest" with the Malaysian government, requesting that Malaysia refrain from taking any further unilateral action and to amend the gazette notification "to reflect the sovereignty of Singapore over the waters in question".
Nov 30: The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore issues a circular instructing ship masters and owners of vessels to disregard Malaysia's gazette notification.
Dec 5: Singapore's Foreign Affairs Minister Vivian Balakrishnan speaks to his Malaysian counterpart Saifuddin Abdullah on the phone, stressing "urgent need" for Malaysia to stop the intrusions to avoid escalating tensions on the ground.
He also touches on a separate issue between Singapore and Malaysia, after Malaysian Transport Minister Anthony Loke said in Parliament that Malaysia intends to reclaim southern Johor airspace.
Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad says Malaysia has not touched Singapore's border. "We can measure to see if it is true or not but we had not touched their border. We are still within our own waters."
Singapore's Ministry of Transport refutes the statement.
Dec 6: Singapore extends its port limits off Tuas. Minister Khaw says Singapore "will not hesitate to take firm actions" against intrusions to protect its territory and sovereignty.
Said Mr Khaw: "Out of the blue, Malaysia is claiming these territorial waters that belong to Singapore. Without any prior consultations, Malaysia is seeking to alter unilaterally the long-standing status quo in the area. This is a blatant provocation and a serious violation of our sovereignty and international law."
He urges Singaporeans to stay united and to "quietly but firmly stand our ground". The minister added: "We still seek good bilateral relations, and hope we can work together to find an amicable solution to these issues."
Singapore's Ministry of Defence releases a video showing the Republic of Singapore Navy and Singapore's Police Coast Guard issuing warnings to Malaysian government vessels in Singapore waters.
Dec 7: Malaysia proposes to Singapore that both countries "cease and desist" from sending assets into what it calls a "disputed area" from midnight on Dec 8.
Singapore rejects the proposal and reiterates that Malaysian government vessels should leave its waters.
Dec 8: Trade and Industry Minister Chan Chun Sing calls for calm, saying the risk of escalation cannot be underestimated. He says Singapore welcomes talks with Malaysia to find a "swift and amicable resolution", but is open to seeking recourse through an "appropriate international third-party dispute settlement procedure" if there is no agreement.
Dec 9: Finance Minister Heng Swee Keat calls the intrusions by Malaysian vessels "a violation of Singapore's sovereignty and international law" as well as a "serious matter of national interest". He also stresses the "close people-to-people ties" between Malaysia and Singapore, adding that a peaceful and constructive discussion of the issues will benefit the peoples of both countries.
Dec 10: Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad says Malaysia will negotiate with Singapore regarding the maritime dispute, but that no decision has been made about removing the Malaysian vessels, which are currently in Singapore territorial waters.
Singapore's Ministry of Foreign Affairs responds, saying it is "disappointed" that Malaysia will not pull back its port limits. It adds that Malaysia will be held responsible for "any untoward situations on the ground that arise from continued deployment of its vessels" in Singapore territorial waters.
Dec 12: Mr Khaw says that Malaysia has taken steps to de-escalate tensions, but notes that one Malaysian ship still remains in the area, down from the three reported on Dec 7.
"We explained to them that stationing their ships in our waters does not make an iota difference to their legal claim ... they acknowledge this legal point," he said, adding that the presence of Malaysian vessels creates "an unnecessary risk of an accidental escalation".
Dec 13: Singapore announces it has filed a declaration under Article 298 of the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), to ensure that other states cannot "unilaterally commence third party arbitration or adjudication against Singapore in respect of maritime boundary disputes".
Under Article 298, a state can make a formal declaration to opt out of the arbitration or adjudication procedures outlined in UNCLOS for three categories of disputes, including one relating to territorial seas between states with opposite or adjacent coasts.
Jan 8, 2019: Both countries agree to establish a working group to study and discuss legal and operational matters on the dispute, in order to de-escalate the situation on the ground and provide a basis for further discussions and negotiations.
Jan 9, 2019: Johor Chief Minister Osman Sapian makes a visit to buoy-laying vessel MV Pedoman, a Malaysian vessel anchored in Singapore Port Limits.
Jan 14, 2019: Singapore Foreign Affairs Minister Vivian Balakrishnan delivers a ministerial statement in Parliament, in which he says daily intrusions by Malaysian government vessels into Singapore waters have continued despite Malaysia saying it will "take all effective measures to de-escalate the situation on the ground".
Jan 17: Johor Chief Minister Osman Sapian defends his decision to visit the MV Pedoman, anchored in Singapore waters. He says he received "unofficial blessing" from Malaysian Foreign Minister Saifuddin Abdullah and his deputy before visiting the vessel.
Jan 18: Malaysia's Foreign Ministry denies giving the green light for Johor Chief Minister Osman Sapian to visit the MV Pedoman.
Jan 28: Representatives from Singapore and Malaysia hold "constructive discussions" when a working group set up to iron out maritime issues involving the port limits of both countries meet for the first time.
Feb 9: Malaysian buoy-laying vessel Polaris and a Greece registered ship, Pireas, collided in Singapore waters at 2.28pm.
Feb 10: Singapore reiterates "its call for Malaysia to withdraw its vessels from the area" following the Polaris-Pireas collision.
Feb 21: Malaysia's Foreign Minister Saifuddin Abdullah says the Johor Bahru port limits issue can be resolved more quickly compared to the water issue.
Mar 1: Singapore is committed to resolving the ongoing bilateral issues with Malaysia in an "amicable and constructive manner", and in strict accordance with bilateral agreements and international law, Singapore Foreign Affairs Minister Vivian Balakrishnan says.
Mar 14: Singapore and Malaysia agree to mutually suspend the implementation of their overlapping port limits, as part of measures to ease tensions. Both countries agree not to anchor government vessels in the area as well as suspend all commercial activities.
Apr 1: Two Malaysian government vessels remain anchored in Singapore's territorial waters off Tuas. Singapore's Foreign Affairs Minister Vivian Balakrishman tells Parliament that he hopes the terms of the Mar 14 agreement between Singapore and Malaysia will be implemented "as soon as possible".
Apr 8: Singapore and Malaysia both suspend their overlapping port limit claims at 12.01am. Malaysia and Singapore have now implemented their port limits in effect prior to Oct 25 and Dec 6 last year, respectively.

HomeNCAAFBWhich School Produces Best WRs
Which School Produces Best WRs
May 9, 2019 Mike Schneid NCAAFB, NFL, top_nfl
With the 2019 NFL Draft over it's fun to think about some of the top NFL players from their college days. What if they could re-unite with their old teammates or what if they could play with fellow college alums?
To simplify the question further – which school produces the best WR duos? Here is our list of top 6
Oklahoma – Dede Westbrook and Kenny Stills
Penn State – Allen Robinson and Chris Godwin
Ohio State – Michael Thomas and Curtis Samuel
#6. Pittsburgh – Larry Fitzgerald and Tyler Boyd
At 35 years old, Fitzgerald is still going strong and will play with a new rookie quarterback for the second straight season. Boyd, a second round pick in 2016, had a breakout year in 2018, starting 14 games, catching 7 touchdowns, and exceeding 1,000 yards for the first time. He is definitely trending upwards.
#5. USC – Juju Smith-Schuster and Robert Woods
Juju will enter 2019 as the legit #1 option in Pittsburgh with Antonio Brown gone and Woods, after a few challenging years in Buffalo has been playing like a #1 WR in Los Angeles.
Smith-Schuster was 5th in the league in yards (1,426) but only 7 touchdowns due to the presence of Brown and James Connor. Woods caught 12 passes in 4 years in Buffalo, and now has 11 the last 2 years with the Rams. In 2018, he exceed 1,000 yards for the first time in his career (1,219).
#4. California – Keenan Allen and Desean Jackson
Jackson was given the nod over Marvin Jones. D-Jax returns to Philly in 2019. Despite being a bit older now (enters 2019 season 33 years old) he can still fly, averaging 18.9 yards per catch last season, which led the NFL. Allen finished 12th in receptions and 15th in yards, continuing his dominance for the Chargers.
#3. Clemson – Deandre Hopkins and Mike Williams
Clemson is so deep at WR that we left out Sammy Watkins, in favor of Williams, who broke out in a big way with 10 touchdowns in 2018, after catching just 11 passes in total during his 2017 rookie year. Meanwhile, Hopkins is considered the best WR in football and plays with fellow Clemson alum QB Deshaun Watson.
Williams' lack of experience, just one successful season, is what bumps Clemson duo down to 3 behind these next two schools.
#2. LSU – Odell Beckham Jr and Jarvis Landry
In 2013, Beckham and Landry played together at LSU. The Tigers went 10-3 and the two WRs combined for 136 catches, 2,345 yards, and 18 touchdowns. Not bad stats, for a team with Zach Mettenberger at quarterback.
In 2019, they re-unite in Cleveland with Baker Mayfield at QB (who is a slight upgrade over Mettenberger).
#1. Alabama – Julio Jones and Amari Cooper
These men are exception to the rules about drafting WRs in the first round of the NFL Draft. Jones went 6th overall in 2011 and Cooper was 4th in 2015.
They have combined for 9 Pro Bowl appearances. A year after Julio caught just 3 touchdowns in 2017 (his lowest since 2013 when he caught 2 in just 5 games), he bounced back with 8 touchdowns, while Cooper caught 1 in Oakland and 6 in Dallas.

In our day, we've seen some heinous things occur in society - full term abortion legalized in some states, the human trafficking epidemic, school shootings, and the list could go on. I don't mean to be "doom and gloom" in this post, but nevertheless, this stuff is happening. On a lesser intensity level, there's also the day to day things we could do out of insecurity - groping for affirmation through social media posts, working extra hard to please our boss, or unhealthily reaching for attention by using our talents.
I believe the answer to those epidemics - both large and small - is found in the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ! Where Jesus gave His life that we could fully live! More specifically in the way that God gives people value and worth through Jesus.
While the practical outworking of the gospel in corrupt areas of society will take far more than I will attempt to explain here, I intend to shed light on the good news that Jesus came to restore our sense of worth - and in that, a root of corruption in society is confronted.
One day I was innocently doing my daily Bible reading in Judges chapter 19. I came across a story of intense moral corruption that would probably surprise most people that it's actually in the Bible.
Honestly, I don't want to recount it here because of its intensity. But suffice to say, there was massive moral corruption and death; the likes of which led to a miniature civil war in Israel.
But the footnote of my Bible on Judges 19:22 referred to what the NKJV translated as "perverted men" as "sons of Belial." Normally I would just pass this by out of pure ignorance. But this time, the Lord seemed to be highlighting it to me.
I searched it out and found that this name "Belial" was found numerous times in the Old Testament and was translated different ways.
Now we know whatever Belial is or does, Christ is the complete opposite.
I looked up the definition of the name "Belial" and you know what I found?
Name definitions have to do with function.
What I know about the enemy is that he wants to give us his thoughts, so we think like him. If we think like him, it leads to acting like him.
People who believe they're worthless do worthless things.
What I also know about the enemy is that by projecting his thoughts on us, he is actually alluding to the truth of God. We find truth by taking his assaults and flipping them to the opposite (and ultimately landing in scripture).
Corruption in society is at least in part due to the lack of worth that people have for themselves.
That corruption is influenced by "Belial" - the enemy's lie of worthlessness.
But I love the gospel of Jesus!
If Belial projects worthlessness, then Christ restores our sense of worth and value!
You know the value of something by what someone is willing to pay for it.
The glorious gospel is that the Father gave the Favorite of heaven, the Beloved One, His Son to be the payment for our sins! To buy us back.
Regardless of what people, life, or circumstances have told you, He thought you were worth it.
Let that truth fall on fresh ears today.
We exalt the worth of Jesus in song all the time. We may not realize that when we declare the worth of Jesus we are simultaneously declaring our worth - because The Father gave Jesus to get you.
Furthermore, Jesus lived His life knowing how valuable He was and He is inviting you to do the same.
1 Peter 2:4 says that Jesus was rejected by man but chosen by God. He lived in two realities but only chose to draw His identity from one: chosen by God.
I don't know what you're facing, but I know you can do the same.
You can live in those realities.
One thing I've learned about the love of God: When you know you're loved you have a healthy view of yourself and at the same time life isn't about you anymore.
You don't have to live as a half empty cup waiting to be filled by others! You can live as a cup overflowing with the love of God waiting to pour out on all who come in contact with you!
Take a moment to meditate on the value Christ gives you and receive His love afresh today.
Lord, reverse the lie of the enemy in our lives with the truth that we have massive value in Christ. Let corruption in society be healed by the glorious gospel of Jesus!
How has the gospel changed your view of yourself? Of God? Of others?
How do you think knowing your true value will affect your lifestyle? The lifestyle of society?

Mobilize, prepare and communicate
As lockdown measures start to ease across Europe, manufacturers are having to be extremely agile and adapt quickly as the landscape continues to change. It is imperative that they maintain open communication with their workforce
Having radically changed operations and processes in the face of a global pandemic only a few months ago, manufacturing organizations are having to adapt again to return to a new kind of normal. At a recent SocialChorus webinar focused on manufacturing communications, Nicole Alvino, Co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer at SocialChorus discussed issues such as creating new products for the good of society as well as mobilizing an entire manufacturing organization to respond in a safe, productive way with Brett Lutz from global food processing business ADM and Christine Miller from Dow Chemical.
Here, Nicole explains how manufacturers need to communicate with their workforce in a transparent, clear way to help a safe and productive return to normal.
Both communications experts talked about their preparation for this next phase of this crisis ranging from communicating new safety protocols, to re-onboarding furloughed workers and supporting the return of employees working from home. During the first week of lockdown, both Brett and Christine came to the realization that, when it came to communicating to their staff, partners and customers about the crisis and its ramifications, their previous notions of high production, perfect content was falling by the wayside in favor of more real-time video communication filmed on a mobile phone. The need to reach everyone and align them around the right messages was the most critical thing while in crisis mode. By adapting and taking this approach, ADM's CEO now creates direct communications through SocialChorus to help maintain a high level of trust through authenticity that they have worked so hard to build.
Like many manufacturing organizations, for ADM and Dow, this next phase means that businesses need to continue communicating as they introduce a new way of work and a new way of returning to the workplace.
Building on the reality of the level of stress of their workforces, both Brett and Christine agreed that it was important to acknowledge that it is normal for people to not feel normal. Each person has their own challenges, whether in the workplace, in their homes, or in their communities. Therefore, the role of communications must be to help people in both small and large ways. There are a number of ways that this can be achieved. Not only will workers expect information that they trust to help them return to work safely. They'll be looking for a single source of truth for safety guidelines and new policies, while also seeking day-to-day information like site-specific scheduling, real-time updates and reminders of re-onboarding tasks.
Christine stressed that it's important for leaders to alleviate concerns about employee safety, reassuring their teams that we're not rushing back. Manufacturers need to continue being open and honest with their workforces so they can be proud of what their organization is doing for the greater good. That also means an increase in both recognition and wellness programs, as well as a focus on enabling leaders to communicate more with their teams.
What we learned from our conversation was that manufacturing companies need to ensure that their critical Covid-19 information is reaching all of their people, and to verify how their workforce is responding, all while providing a real-time feedback loop to address concerns and promote compliance.
Returning to work is far from simple. The challenges and complexities will vary from business to business, but the following seven steps should help in mobilizing and preparing for both a safe and productive return to work:
1) Prepare groups for different locations and roles
From management to the front line, every worker will need personalized information to adapt to this new way of working. Your organization must be able to target the right message to the right employees. You can do this by:
Synchronizing your communications platform with your HR, and match with behavior data to create dynamic distribution groups that continuously update as employee data changes
Create manager-only groups based on seniority level or job title. This will enable you to use targeted content emails and targeted notifications to deliver specific back-to-work details and leadership guidance.
2) Build a task force to communicate your return details
To provide an up-to-date, localized, reliable source of truth during your return to the workplace, you must empower local health and safety decision makers to send communications to employees at their location.
The communications, HR and Risk & Safety teams should share responsibility for organization-wide communications.
Site-specific Risk & Safety decision makers should communicate local policies, procedures and scheduling to workers at their location.
Risk & Safety teams will need to convey manager-level information, such as decision trees, directly to those with senior titles.
3) Target each location with local information
Regulations and protocols can vary by city, county, state and country. Employees need site-specific guidelines for workplace safety, and you need to ensure they receive and put them into practice.
Confirm receipt of key site-specific content like shift schedules and track the reach of these communications across employee groups.
Develop unique alerts for new safe workplace guidelines, and gauge employee sentiment around them with polls.
Create real-time FAQs based on employee questions and offer easy-to- consume micro-learnings on safe workplace guidelines
4) Establish feedback loops and real-time FAQs
To maintain employee trust, give workers a way to voice concerns as they occur. Enable communicators, Risk & Safety teams and local leaders to address those concerns in real time.
Encourage employees to submit questions or comments in your targeted channels.
Get your local Risk sand Safety staff respond in real time to answer questions.
Empower local managers to address issues, provide a single source of truth to give management answers, and promote idea sharing among managers.
5) Drive compliance with automatic reminders
Employees may not review or act on information the first time they receive it. You need a way to ensure they mobilize around compliance and follow procedure.
Confirm that employees have received information by sending them push notifications that require confirmation.
Test their understanding of critical information with brief surveys.
Send automated reminders around key micro-learnings to encourage review and retention of content.
6) Track reach and measure sentiment
Verify that your critical safety and change management messaging is having the impact you need. Track the reach of those communications and learn how employees are responding to your key initiatives.
Measure global engagement with your return-to-work communications to verify reach.
Drill down into your data; sort by site location, management level and specific initiatives to view impact.
Run pulse polls to further understand workforce sentiment beyond metrics.
7) Monitor and maintain employee health & wellbeing
Lack of physical and mental wellness is a barrier to both safety and productivity—now more than ever. From temperature checks to opportunities to disconnect, make sure you're offering the right support.
Ensure completion of health requirements by giving employees easy access to health check platforms and tracking completion rates.
Check in with employees and measure wellness with polls targeted to locations or departments of concern. Have resources available to follow up with employees who feel unwell or are struggling.
Create automated reminder campaigns for patients in self-isolation due to Covid-19. Notify them to log into your health check platform to update their recovery status.
There's no doubt we're not out of the woods yet but Covid-19 has been a catalyst for removing barriers and driving greater trust and transparency across manufacturing organizations around the world. If every manufacturer can take this kind of employee-centric approach and carry it forward, we'll be well on our way to much safer and productive workplaces now and in the future.

Lowe's Coming to Ryan's Dean Lakes
SHAKOPEE, MN-The home improvement retailer is building a 150,000-sf store that should be open early next year. The mixed-use project covers 250 acres and is one of the largest ever in the southwest Twin Cities suburbs.
By Jim McCartney | July 15, 2005 at 10:18 AM
SHAKOPEE, MN-Lowe's recently added a Lowe's Improvement Center to its Dean Lakes project, a Twin Cities mixed-use development that integrates residential, retail, office and high-finish industrial area at 273 acres on Highway 169 and County Road 83. Lowe's is starting to work already on a 150,000-sf store, which is expected to be open for business early next year.
A year ago April, Minneapolis-based Ryan Cos. broke ground on the mixed-use project, which is covering more than 250 acres is one of the largest ever in the Twin Cities' southwest region. The project blends 42 acres of residential space–295 housing units priced from $200,000 to $500,000–44 acres of retail space, and 90 acres of industrial and office space.
The Lowe's project adds to an already heavy summer construction schedule at Dean Lakes: Crews are in the final phases of construction on a Holiday Stationstore, Goodyear Tire store, and Ruby Tuesday restaurant, all of which open this month. In addition, Ryan will begin work on a branch office for BNC Bank, and on about 16,000 sf of small shop space that will be ready for occupancy in September.
Work is continuing on the Dean Lakes Business Park, which recently saw the completion of Dean Lakes Health, a 20,000-sf medical office building. One of the tenants is Edina Eye Physicians & Surgeons, which occupies 5,000 sf. In addition, software company Open Systems Inc. has selected a site at Dean Lakes and has hired Ryan to design and build a 25,000-sf single-story office building that will be ready for occupancy by November.

An owner of the car has to take the necessary steps to repair, servicing and maintaining his/her automotive. Car repair can be expensive if the automotive breaks down all of a sudden. Whether the repair is a simple one or a complicated one, you need to spend money and quite a hefty amount. To keep your car in the flawless condition and to prevent any sudden breakdown, you should take regular car repair and service. So, if you take a family holiday and travel to faraway places, the automotive won't breakdown. Although there are a number of car repair guides available online from the leading brands like Volkswagen, Ford, Mercedes and others, you should always look for professional repair providers. So, it is good to look for a car repair provider from beforehand. There are ways to saving money on the car repair and car servicing.
To save money on automotive repair, take care of it quite well. When you are driving, be careful and make sure your car does not acquire scratches and dents. Ride with caution and send your automotive to repair centres quite frequently. Regular car servicing and maintenance can prevent a sudden breakdown. Generally, a basic car service is recommended after every six months and for this, you can take your car to the service station or directly to the branded dealer.
Even if you care for the automotive, it might breakdown unexpectedly or may give you problems. Only when the task is simple, you may do it on your own like changing the windshield. You may change the car parts and components on your own to save money.
If you don't want to be stressed in the long run, then hire a skilled mechanic in the very beginning. By doing so, you may save a lot of hassle later on. If the issue in the car seems complicated, you must not try your hands on it. Just hire a skilled car repair provider for the repair work. Before you fix anyone to do the repair work, you must make research and find reliable car repair providers. Ask about the services you can get and the free price estimate.
There may be car deterioration if you are not serious about the oil change. Make sure you change the oil in every 3000 miles. This will also help to save money on repairs and maintenance. Oil change only requires 15-20 minutes time. If you are not sure of how to do it, just follow the online tutorials. Frequent oil change can also increase the lifespan of your car.
There are several moving parts in the engine. If you use your vehicle quite frequently, there may be a wear and tear of engine. Frequent servicing is therefore required. An automotive technician can offer you a range of services including an oil change. You can go for regular servicing of the tyres and the car body, along with changing of the washer fluid and brake fluid. The cost of car service depends on the extent to which you require service for your car. Heavy car users should always go for car servicing after every six months to keep their car in perfect condition. A good car repair service provider will offer you an extensive range of preventative service. Work closely with the professional car repair technician to enjoy smooth rides for years to come. You can choose from your local car service centre or go for online approvals after browsing through their service packages and price lists.

The Earth: A Progress Report

Current Thinking
As we begin our return to being a full "Human Being", many people's thoughts are turning to the Earth and wanting to help to re-awaken Her consciousness. Whilst these thoughts are, on the face of it, admirable, the question arises as to whether the Earth actually requires our assistance or not? Does She require to be re-awoken or have some people misread the situation? The main problem is one of scale. If you look at the photograph, above, you will see, through the clouds, North and South America in their place within the oceans and, the sphere of the Earth. What is not shown in the photograph is any thing to do with man. Even our cities are too small to register within the continents, let alone individual people. Yet, the photograph encompasses the whole of the Earth. In other words, on the scale at which the Earth exists, humans, along with all of our endeavours, do not even register.
The Earth is a soul, a consciousness, who has survived through many trials and disasters in order to fulfil Her promise. She is an immense consciousness capable of acts of Creation unseen in any other region of our Universe. Throughout the whole of Her existence, She has nurtured life and, in particular, nurtured humanity to the point where we can fulfil our own promise and potential. We are tiny, insignificant souls in comparison to the immensity of the Earth's own soul and, yet, human arrogance has led many to believe that the Earth needs our help at this time of change.
All loving thoughts that humans direct towards the Earth are, obviously, appreciated by Her but, we must remember the difference in scale, the difference in soul potential, that exists between humans and the Earth. In all of the [many] millennia of Her existence, She has never slept and, She has never forgotten the life that relies on Her for their physical presence and well-being. As humans begin to fulfil our potential, in terms of soul re-integration, She is with us. She is supporting us and, She is providing all of the love and nurture that we humans will allow Her to give to us. But, we live in a Universe that is founded on the energies of freedom of choice and, so, Her activities and support are limited by how much we choose to let Her do on our behalf.
If we throw back Her help, such as by attempting to build "portals", it holds Her back. If there was a need for "portals" that opened gateways to regions outside of the solar system, She would have already built them for us. The fact that they do not exist is very clear evidence that those who have asked for the portals to be built are not working with the Earth but, against Her. Another recent request that has arisen from those who are not working with the Earth has been to "charge up the Earth's crystal deposits". In order to help us with all of the energies we require to make our consciousness change, the Earth energised all of Her crystal deposits on the 2nd of August 2004. The recent call to "charge up the crystals" was an attempt to take control of the energies, that are helping people, away from the control of the Earth and transfer all of that energy into the control of a race that does not have the Earth's, or humanity's, best interests at heart.

To understand just how much the Earth is doing to help and guide people through our soul re-integration, we need to take a brief look at what She has done in the past to bring us to the point where we can now, at long last, begin to be ourselves and, return to being true Human Beings once again. In understanding Her role and the extent of Her desire for true Human life, we can also begin to understand that we are the masters of our own destiny and, that, we do not need help from anywhere or anyone other than from the Earth Herself.
Our solar system was deliberately designed to be an experiment. The purpose of this experiment was to determine whether life at the energies we consider to be physical could actually exist. Throughout the Universe, many, many billions of souls exist. Some are souls that make up galaxies, some are souls that make up solar systems, some souls are more or less "human sized" but, have no physical density at all and some are also more or less "human sized" but, do have physical bodies that are considerably less dense than human bodies. So, there was a form of life that was missing…"physical" life-forms that live on "physical" planets. This is the purpose of our solar system…to explore the possibilities offered by being physical.
A region of an outlying galaxy was selected to be the host for this physical experiment where a sun already existed. This lone sun was also a consciousness, a soul. This solar soul agreed to provide the nurturing energies to a solar system that was formed from thirteen souls who wished to take on "physical" energy densities and explore the different forms of life that being physical could conjure up. This all happened 40 million years ago. This time-scale is greatly at odds with current "scientific" thinking but, this is the time frame that is recorded in the Akashic. The scientific time scale, that of 4 billion years, is based on the assumed age of a meteor that could have arrived on Earth from anywhere within the Universe and, so, is no more than a false assumption.
Our solar system is contained within an energy "envelope" that is shaped a little like a rugby ball. This envelope was necessary in order to keep out all of the other energy patterns that exist within our galaxy and within our Universe. There is not much point in creating an experimental region of space if it could be contaminated by energy patterns that could make the experiment pointless. So, we exist in a controlled and protected "envelope" that originally contained thirteen souls who had taken on the role of forming physical planets that could create and nurture as diverse a range of physical forms of life as possible.
All were successful.
All thirteen planets began to form 40 million years ago, each expressing the "personality" of their soul in the forms of life they created. Individual souls are Created by the Creator, planetary life is created by the soul of the planet. However, the soul that is the Earth took Her time to consider all options before She settled down to experiment with the type of life-forms She wanted to develop. In this way, life on Earth only began to develop 25 million years ago. Again, this is very much at odds with the scientific view of life on Earth. However, if you research back through the history of scientific thinking, you will find that this figure of 25 million years is one which was favoured by scientists for a number of years. It only changed when the "new" science of geology came along and tried to find answers to the ages of rock strata. Most of the assumptions made by these early geologists turn out to be based on false premises but, scientists being scientists, they have not admitted to their mistakes and, have maintained the false theories and incorporated these false dates into current thinking. When the meteorite, mentioned above, was found, they came up with this new age of 4 billion years for the Earth. The technique used to arrive at this date has never been explained, adequately. It seems to have primarily been conjecture and wishful thinking.

Soul Reintegration: The Process Begins
A PDF Essay From: The Chris Thomas Files
Image Credit: re-integration.com
Humanity is primed to undergo the greatest shift in consciousness that has ever been seen in the history of our Universe. Seven thousand years of human history, "The Human Plan", is approaching its fruition and 2012 promises to be the year when all of our hard work, our aspirations and dreams, finally come together to re-merge the whole of the soul back into the physical body. But how will this happen? How will we know when the time is tight? How will we be at the end of this change? The change we are undergoing has never been attempted, anywhere, in the whole of Creation, so, we are having to feel our way into our new future but, there are some clues and signposts along the way. One such "signpost" has just begun to emerge from the mists that shroud our future.
Over the past ten years, more and more people are waking up to the fact that all is not well in the world. Political posturing and lies are being uncovered. Real conspiracies are being brought to light and, the mood of the population is for clarity and the end of being subject to the whims of an "Elite" (also known as Illuminati, Cabal, Bilderbergers, etc…). All of this uncovering is a part of our own awakening.
For almost 300 years, we have been mislead by those who see themselves as being above the rest of humanity and these "Elite" have forced themselves into positions of political power in order to create an agenda to which the rest of the world was subjected without our conscious knowledge. As we moved into the 21st century, cracks began to appear in the elitists' plans and, more and more people have become aware that an agenda is at work and, that this agenda affects every man, woman and child on the planet. However, we have been largely powerless to do much about it. Any signs of discontent are stomped on, immediately, with increasing severity. The media is controlled to the point where the Elite can tell any lie without being questioned and any proof of the Elites' agenda is ridiculed as a "conspiracy theory". But, the energy is changing.
Cosmic Forces
The year 2012 has long been prophesised as the end of the world. Many have taken this statement literally and, see this year as being one of catastrophe and the end of all things to do with Earth. But this is not the case. It is the end of life as we have known it for the past seven thousand years and a change into a new way of being. This duality of endings and new beginnings is not accidental but, has been planned for 7,000 years and, planned in such a way that a number of different forces and energies all combine together at the same time to produce a new reality.
In 1996, a new energy was connected to the Earth from deep within the Universe. This new energy is designed to provide us with all that we would need to bring about a change of consciousness. This new energy began by gradually changing the way in which we see ourselves, our place on Earth and our place within the Universe. In 2002, the Earth altered Her own energy patterns. This change on an Earth level was purely to help humans to move on. The traditional "base-note" frequency of the Earth was 7.56 Hz. In 2002, this was raised to 3.5 kHz. This massive change in frequency was to accommodate the needs of people so that the higher self could be re-integrated back into the physical body.
By 2005, we had reached the point where we humans could begin to move forwards. We had, to a certain extent, absorbed and come to terms with the "push" generated by the 1996 energy but, we were still far away from our goal. As we moved through this period, the first people to re-integrate the soul back into the body began to so do. These re-integrations were very successful and virtually no problems were encountered. People undergoing this process is still underway today but, only gradually.
By the end of October 2010, we had raised our individual and collective energies to the point where we could begin a new acceleration. Between the start of November 2010 and the 28th of October 2011, humans raised their own base-note energy frequencies into full alignment with the Earth's new frequency. By the end of October 2011, we had reached full frequency parity with the Earth at 3.5 kHz. Whilst a major step forwards, this was not the start of full soul re-integration. A number of events need to occur before we can achieve that.
During this period, there were numerous attempts to distract us and prevent us from fully understanding our potential. The two Gulf Wars, Afghanistan, the attack on New York's twin towers on the 11th of September 2001, the bombing of London on the 7th of July, 2005, and, the attack on Libya in 2011 were all engineered by the Elite and carried out by secret services (CIA & MI6), as well as the military-industrial complex in order to create as much fear as possible in the population.
Add to these atrocities, the deliberate manipulation of the banks and money markets and, we have a population that is subdued, fearful and, more importantly, fearful of their futures. Adding to this level of fear is the total myth of man-made global warming. Instead of moving into our consciousness shift with an open heart and understanding, the Elite attempted to stop this change in its tracks by forcing people to see the world as one where they were unlikely to survive. Fortunately, we are not on our own.
All too often we forget that this lump of rock we live on has a consciousness of Her own and despite this lack of human regard, the Earth still sees us as Her "Children". The Earth, too, has been heavily involved in The Human Plan. In fact, nothing could have been planned and worked out without Her. Along with the new energy source that arrived in 1996, the orbit of the solar system brought us into growing alignment with the centre of our galaxy. The energy arriving from the centre of the galaxy also added to the impetus for change. This galactic alignment has become more direct since 1996 and we are now, at the end of 2011, bathed in positive energy patterns never before seen. All of these new energy sources are acting together to help us.
When we began to help ourselves and completed our base-note frequency acceleration, the Earth could begin a new phase of development. This, She began on the 13th of December 2011. This new source of energy brought about by the Earth is feeding into the human mass-consciousness and its purpose is to bring about a new wave of change. The level of dissatisfaction brought about by the activities of the Elite means that the human mass-consciousness has reached critical mass. This new Earth energy is there to gently push the human mass-consciousness to a point where we create a tsunami for change.

Continuing Consciousness Change
Posted on December 16, 2018 Updated on February 9, 2019

Since my article Consciousness Change was published in Cygnus Review in February 2011, I have received numerous requests for an update. In overall terms, the levels of human energy patterns have continued to rise on their way to achieving our goal of 3.5 kHz with most people now in the 2 KHz range. This raised level of frequency is reflected in the way in which a 24 hour day now feels more like 12 hours. It is also reflected in the way in which there is continuing turmoil in the world. In order for us to move forwards into our long-awaited future, we have to leave the past behind.
Unfortunately, a great deal of our past has been deliberately hidden from us by those who would attempt to keep control over us. As our levels of consciousness continue to rise to our new resonance, all of the ways in which controls have been exerted over us are being exposed and those who are awakening to the new consciousness are now more able to see world events for what they are.
Unfortunately, we are likely to see these kinds of events continuing for a little while longer as those who exercised that control misguidedly believe that they still do – the current events in Libya and media spin on reality being prime examples. So, what are the rising energy frequencies actually doing? For some people, there is a realisation that they have resolved all of their life's problems and are ready to move on to the final stage of soul reintegration. For others, long ignored problems and issues are forcing themselves to the surface in such a way that they cannot be ignored any longer. However, once these long ignored problems are dealt with and resolved, they too would feel ready to move on to the final stages of change.
This is what the current energy acceleration was actually intended to do – to force us into resolving all of the emotional rubbish we have been refusing to let go in order to make way for the greater aspects of the soul to reintegrate into the body; the soul cannot reintegrate if the body is filled with emotional debris. As this emotional clearance takes place, we begin to see world events and the people around us in a new light. Instead of being bogged down in the detail, we can see world events from a higher perspective and, instead of worrying about them; we can rise above them and see them as symptoms of change and final clearance instead of seeing them as symptoms of a continuing problem. For many people, though, there is an increasing sense of frustration and this arises from the fact that they have sorted all of their problems out and feel ready and eager to take the final step.
As far as the Akashic is concerned, world-wide, there are currently over one thousand million (1 billion) people who are ready and able to make that final step into full consciousness reintegration, so what is stopping them? The answer is that there are many who would maintain the current state of control and fear-mongering in the population and they are attempting to prevent any of this change happening. If individuals underwent their final soul reintegration by themselves, those who underwent this level of change would almost certainly be incarcerated in order to prevent the rest of the world from seeing them and knowing that they exist; we would see persecution on an unprecedented scale. However, if there is a mass consciousness shift involving over 1 billion people, the move to change becomes unstoppable and cannot be ignored or hidden away.
There are two factors which determine when we will be ready to achieve this mass shift. 1). The accelerated human energies need to reach their peak of 3.5 KHz; this they will do at the end of October 2011. 2). The Mayan Calendar needs to complete its final "Epoch" and this also occurs at the end of October 2011. Once both of these events have been achieved it is then a matter of the correct timing and for this there is no definitive answer. All that can be said is that when the two events, given above, have been completed and the maximum number of people have made themselves ready (currently only 15% of the population), we will all make a collective decision, on a Higher Self level, and we will all undergo final soul reintegration together. The latest that this mass shift will occur will be mid-summer 2012.
All any of us can do until then is try to be patient and not to become depressed or caught up in world events. The world is clearing itself of all harmful influences as a part of this change and we need to let it happen; attempting to stop it will only prolong the agony and delay our mass reintegration. Try to remember that everything is doing exactly what it needs to do and everything is happening for a purpose and that purpose is to cleanse this Earth of all influences that would hold us back. Once we have ALL completed our individual soul reintegrations together, we will then be able to work together to return the Earth to Her original pristine condition and move into a new and unpolluted future.
We are so close to completing the 7,000 years of "The Human Plan" that all we need to be is patient for a few more months in order to achieve a future on our beautiful Earth that has no limits.

An Article From: The Chris Thomas Files

There is a point at which all of the changes that have been spoken of in the last few years come about. As we moved into November 2010, all of the long-awaited shifts in energy began in earnest and we started a new phase of development as the energies we have available to us entered a new, and final, phase of acceleration. Many felt this new phase begin and welcomed it in, whilst others started to feel that they were under pressure, almost to the point of feeling under some kind of 'attack'.
If you look at the graph below, what is represented there is the way in which the energy frequencies connected with us and the Earth have changed in recent years. In order for us to be physical on this planet, the Earth has always produced a 'base-note' frequency of 7.56 Hz (that is a frequency of 7.56 cycles per second). Don't worry if you do not understand cycles per second or Hz, it is the values of the level of change that are important. The Earth's own frequency is that which allows the soul to take on physical form and also, through our 'root' chakra, connects us to the Earth. At the time of Atlantis, we had the whole of the soul within the physical body – not the physical self/higher self soul division we have become used to. The problem was that we knew that the Earth's base-note frequency was too low to maintain our original 'whole soul' state but we did not know what this frequency needed to be raised to in order for us to be in that state again.
For the past 7,000 years we have been investigating what the new frequency needed to be and in the year 2,000 we finally worked it out. Once we had arrived at the answer, the Earth responded immediately and raised her base-note frequency from its original 7.56 Hz to 3,500 Hz (3.5 kHz) in May of that year (green line on graph). Unfortunately, humans being humans, we were a little low in responding in the same way and it has taken us a further ten years to arrive at the point where we can accelerate our own energies.
A new phase of existence.
This is what happened at the start of November 2010. As can be seen from the graph (blue line), we had raised our own frequencies a little (to around 13 Hz) but then the graph begins to curve and then rise. By the start of November 2011 we will have caught up with the changes the Earth has already made and be in a position to resonate at 3.5 kHz, allowing us to reintegrate the whole of the soul back into the body and, for the first time in 7,000 years, once again become true Human Beings. Once we have achieved that new state, we begin an entirely new phase of human existence which has no time limit. The November 2011 date then allows us an extra year to sort ourselves out before the end of the calendrical cycle of the 'Fifth Sun', of the Mayan Calendar, that ends on the 21st December 2012. The important thing to remember about the Mayan Calendar is that it does not mean the end of the world, it just means that we have completed the last cycle of our old way of life and we are set to begin an entirely new level of being.

Edited by Will Holder and Alex Waterman. Published by New Documents, 2014.
Some years ago Will Holder and Alex Waterman proposed to Robert Ashley that musicians and non-musicians might produce new versions of his operas, by way of typographical scores.
The bulk of this book is a result of that proposal: scores for Dust (1998) and Celestial Excursions (2003). These operas' characters have, until now, been solely produced by and are the stories exchanged between Ashley and his "band" (singers Sam Ashley, Joan La Barbara, Thomas Buckner, and Jacqueline Humbert); in landscapes (technological, imaginary, acoustic, organisational, sonic, ocular) produced by "Blue" Gene Tyranny, Tom Hamilton, David Moodey, Cas Boumans, and Mimi Johnson—the result of a thirty-year relationship. Any "scores," as such, weren't written for this intimate readership. It hadn't been considered that any one outside this "band" might produce this work. The scores for Dust and Celestial Excursions are preceded by a selection of Ashley's work, from 1963 to 2008, drawing attention to the varying relations between instruction and score, and the tones of instructional address. Working with these scores gave us a better sense of how each one produces a specific mode of decision-making, telling us what to put on the pages of the scores, for any reader who follows. This is the fourth in a series of publications produced with or by Holder and Waterman, a musicological perspective on scoring speech, and the role of printed matter in collective forms of reading and writing: Agapē (MiguelAbreuGallery,2007); Between Thought and Sound (The Kitchen, 2008); The Tiger's Mind (with Beatrice Gibson, Sternberg Press, 2012); Yes, But Is It Edible? (New Documents, 2014).
On this European tour, Will and Alex will be reading duets from the operas. We hope you can join us, in celebrating and handing over results of this seven-year process.

As if being an actress, director, mom and philanthropist wasn't sufficient, the celeb can now add "contributing editor" to her resume.
That is proper! Time's editor-in-chief and CEO Edward Felsenthal introduced on Wednesday that the two-time Oscar winner has joined the journal's crew as a contributing editor.
In accordance with the publication, Jolie will cowl quite a lot of matters in her items, together with displacement, battle and human rights. The Maleficent star can actually converse to those topics. She has served as Particular Envoy for the United Nations Excessive Commissioner for Refugees ever since 2012.

My task as a personal trainer is to motivate and enthuse people like you about sports, nurturing in a targeted fashion and promoting a conscious approach to your own body. This can happen within the framework of a personal training session but also in a group, for example over the course of one of my weekly classes. While doing this, I support my clients not only in achieving their sporting goals but also in attaining a balanced and healthy lifestyle. It makes sense to have a comprehensive and sustainable training concept, which really works as a long-term solution. As such I had discovered Calisthenics, which increasingly excited me.
By now I've been a verified and licensed Personal Trainer, Calisthenics professional and workshop instructor for several years and established FitShark Personal Training in 2014 in Berlin.
Thus, it was possible for FitShark to reach an even more diversely well-founded quality spectrum. We see ourselves not only as a distant observer, who creates plans, instructs and checks the way in which you are moving, but also as an active and creative partner, who praises, encourages and accompanies along the way. Therefore, sport and movement cease to be necessary evils on the road to fulfilling pragmatic goals but instead become a natural part of everyday life, that entails extraordinary effectiveness and lots of fun at the same time.
Over the years we were able to successfully coach over one hundred people to reach their goals and help them on the journey towards a higher standard of life. Being able to witness our clients' success stories is one of the best parts of our profession.
I see it as a wonderful fortune that I met my great love Michal in 2016 in Berlin and followed her in 2018 to her hometown of Jerusalem. I feel incredibly comfortable in Israel and started feeling home within a short time through meeting many wonderful people. And also the country amazes me every day. Laying down on the beach in Tel-Aviv, swimming, surfing … and every challenge seems manageable. Enjoying the marvelous old city of Jerusalem, eating the best hummus of my life … and simply feeling home. Consequently, based on the continuous FitShark success story, it made sense to establish an even greater as well as internationally concentrated platform for Calisthenics, that by now offers training in Berlin, Jerusalem, Tel-Aviv and online. FitShark became HOC – House Of Calisthenics.
Optimal long-term progress at a lowest risk of injury.
1. Enthusiasm for the own body as well as fun when training are not just nice side effects but important aspects of the training. Only like this sustainable and long-term training success can be assured.
2. The technically correct execution of exercises has the highest priority, only in the second step the enhancement of intensity and performance will be targeted. That way "Train smarter, not harder" doesn't remain an empty phrase but becomes an authentic training perspective.
3. All HOC trainers have well-founded expert knowledge about anatomy, biomechanics and (sports) nutrition, which is constantly updated and extended through further education.
The training concept is thereby based on proven foundations, however, it is constantly adjusted in a flexible and intelligent way according to the requirements of the client with respect to state of health, level of training, form of the day and individual goal.
4. Mutual trust between client and trainer is an essential component of the HOC concept, that way also the mental state can be included in the training design which results in a truly individual and therefore holistic training.
5. Backgrounds and coherences of the training conception are being designed transparently for our clients. That allows for the development of a differentiated body feeling, the active co-design of the training and ultimately the transferability of strength, discipline, endurance and physical capacity into various other areas of life.
