Targeting the Targeters: General Mike Flynn and Family
The Mike Flynn stuff is at the end of the article.
Why was the subversive destruction of Persia by Kermit Rooosevelt called Operation Ajax?
Helou, Elias, Eli as Iollas and Helios in history.
Philostratus the Elder in the Life of Apollonius of Tyana writes that Alexander dedicated a great elephant to the Helios and named it Ajax. The elephant had gold rings around its tusks and an inscription was on them written in Greek: "Alexander the son of Zeus dedicates Ajax to the Helios" (ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΣ Ο ΔΙΟΣ ΤΟΝ ΑΙΑΝΤΑ ΤΩΙ ΗΛΙΩΙ).[121]
How does "Alanta" get translated into Ajax?
Perhaps this is the actual source for the name Ajax:
The name Rao is from the wife of Alexander, Roxana, which is actually Raoxshna. That's kind of like Ajax.
Rao is a name used by one of the Mifsud spies.
Diodorus, Plutarch, Arrian and Justin mention that Alexander was poisoned. Plutarch dismissed it. The several accounts were that Antipater arranged for Alexander to be poisoned by his son Iollas, who was Alexander's wine-pourer. It took about 12 days for the poison to result in death.
Iollas is a form of the name Helou. When the term Hellenist is used, it's a code word for the Turkish Jewish tribe of mixed races. The word Kaaba is from Chub/cube which is the Arabya, or mixed races. Poison, amulets and charms, sorcery and witchcraft are all historically associated with the Turkish tribes, in addition to the digging of pits to catch slaves. One technique that they are noted for, is the mimicking of familiar voices. They would call for help sounding like family or friend, to lure people away and capture them. The use of drugs to capture people into slavery is also noted throughout the word definitions in Latin, Greek and Hebrew.
"…twelve days passed between the start of his illness and his death; such long-acting poisons were probably not available.[146] However, in a 2003 BBC documentary investigating the death of Alexander, Leo Schep from the New Zealand National Poisons Centre proposed that the plant white hellebore (Veratrum album), which was known in antiquity, may have been used to poison Alexander.[147][148][149]
In a 2014 manuscript in the journal Clinical Toxicology, Schep suggested Alexander's wine was spiked with Veratrum album, and that this would produce poisoning symptoms that match the course of events described in the Alexander Romance.[150] Veratrum album poisoning can have a prolonged course and it was suggested that if Alexander was poisoned, Veratrum album offers the most plausible cause.[150][151]
Meaning of the Name
Veratrum
From the Latin 'vere' meaning truthful, plus 'ater' meaning malicious, poisonous, spelled Petere, as in 'salt peter'.
Album means white but the word was used for slaves who were brought to Rome for sale.
This sounds like the "date-rape" drug. It's like a truth syrum, and then the victims have no memory of what they said, like for example, where the treasure is hidden.
Another poisoning explanation put forward in 2010 proposed that the circumstances of his death were compatible with poisoning by water of the river Styx (modern-day Mavroneri in Arcadia, Greece) that contained calicheamicin, a dangerous compound produced by bacteria.
The name Eli is prominent in the Dudney Trail genealogy book of bastard royal lineage in America.
Once again, I'd like to cut and paste to create a new article at this point. However, the censorship kicks in and the cut/paste function does not work.
I never let these criminals get me angry. Instead, I'll go with the flow and let the subject of Alexander the Great morph into General Mike Flynn.
Now is the time to talk about being targeted by these Royal Bastards. This is a message for all targeted people. By being targeted, we are in a unique position to help the good guys locate the criminal network.
General Mike Flynn
For example, General Michael Flynn, whenever I see his photograph my blood boils because he looks exactly like the man who, with his family, set upon my daughter and I. Pretending to be friends but with the goal of undermining my authority, they destroyed my friendship with my own daughter. Finally my daughter split with them after these so-called friends called child protective services twice for some petty nonsense. This is how these criminals operate.
The problem is that they did not use the name Flynn, they went by the name Guillory. Therefore I understand that this leaves doubt. It certainly does in my mind. But I'll overcome my own doubts because there's no harm done if I'm wrong. These people are my enemies either way.
This is where he lived:
305 Woodvale – Jun 11, 2019 at 8:21 AM
2/25/1991 Sold $60,000
He was living there alone during the 1990's last time I was around there. His divorced wife lives here.
nWife Sharon and daughter Ally (divorced wife)- Jun 11, 2019 at 8:20 AM
She lived with their daughter Ally last time I was there and our daughters were friends from school. It's been about ten years since I've seen any of them. The daughter somewhat resembles, and very much has the exact same super obnoxious personality and first name as Alexandra Ocasio Cortez. The ex-wife somewhat resembles Kelly Anne Conway, and has similar personality and speech mannerisms.
But Flynn does look exactly like Rick Guillory. There are many people named Rick, Sharon and Ally Guillory, which is why it's a very good thing to have known a little bit about them.
The only way to identify them is to have been their victim.
By the grace of God, we escaped the family of Rick, Sharon and Ally Guillory. The last time I saw Rick, and the only time I ever actually sat down and spoke to him, was at a little dinner party. That's what I thought it was going to be anyway. Unfortunately, I was grilled by Rick on the most brutal, professional way, in which he put major pressure on me to say something bad about my boyfriend. He actually was trying to break up my relationship, and there was nothing nice about the pressure he put on me to get me to say what he wanted me to say. They want me to be utterly alone in the world. I don't know why these people go through so much effort to destroy my life.
He spoke a lot about doing work for the oil company Anadarko, who he said he was working for, which appears on Wikileaks emails related to the Willis and the oil pipeline that they so desperately wanted built.
So perhaps it's just another coincidence that these people all look alike and have the same personalities.
If not..
If it's not a coincidence, then the daughter of General Mike Flynn is Alexandra Ocasio Cortez, and her mother is Kelly Anne Conway.
Suzanne Broussard June 11, 2019
One thought on "Targeting the Targeters: General Mike Flynn and Family"
Eirann says:
Flynn resembles both Rep. Rosa De Lauro and spouse Stan Greenberg. I saw a photo of Flynn's and De Lauro's faces lined up for a match.

Carbon pricing's disappointing effect on the pace of technological change
Explained: Political polarization
Economic inequality can cause it; Reversing it is difficult
Credit: University of Houston
Political polarization – the ever-present and growing division between Republicans and Democrats along ideological lines - has a powerful grip on the United States, and a University of Houston researcher has helped explain why, reporting his findings in Science Advances.
"Political polarization is linked to economic inequality, and we have created a mathematical model showing a causal explanation for that link," said Alexander Stewart, assistant professor of mathematical biology. "We also show that once polarization occurs, it can spread rapidly to the whole population and persist even when the conditions that produced it have reversed."
Stewart's work offers both a theoretical account and empirical support for the emergence of polarization as a response to economic hardship.
Polarization is a social phenomenon in which a population divides into belligerent groups with rigidly opposed beliefs and identities that inhibit cooperation and undermine pursuit of a common good.
Stewart's models divided people into two groups, based on similarities.
"In our models, the reason that inequality ends up causing polarization is that when people are faced with economic hardship, they become more risk averse. They prefer to have interactions with their own groups, or "ingroups" of people where they have less risk of failure," said Stewart. This leads to withdrawing interaction with other "outgroups" of people who are dissimilar to them, building to an attitude of 'us vs. them.'
Stewart and colleagues also studied the last three presidential election cycles in the United States with data from the American National Election Study and the Cooperative Congressional Election Study.
"Economic inequality has been rising for the last half of the 20th century, and it has reached heights never before seen in our lifetimes," said Stewart. "Rising inequality is sufficient to cause the polarization we see now in public discourse."
That polarization may also explain the emergence of populist and other far-right political movements.
"Economic stress and fear have shown to be excellent highly localized predictors for the success of a number of populist movements including in the Ukraine as well as the United States and United Kingdom," reports Stewart.

\section{Introduction}
The presence of a molecular or atomic ion in a H$_2$ atmosphere results in the formation of hydrogen ionic clusters X$^+$(H$_2$)$_n$. Properties of these clusters, such as solvation-shell distributions \cite{a4,MGM01}, binding energies \cite{YGRS87,a5,RAPG01}, and vibrational spectrum \cite{RAPG01,MM03}, have been theoretically investigated for a large variety of ionic cores X$^+$.

The H$_2$ units are connected to the core mainly by means of monopole/induced-dipole interactions, although there is some charge transfer from the H$_2$ units in the first solvation shell to the positive center. As a consequence of this kind of interaction, binding energies lie on the range of 3-10 kcal/mol \cite{PJMG98,RSJ99,a0} that is not enough to destroy the molecular identity of each H$_2$ unit. On the other hand, these binding energies are enough large to make the hydrogen clusters potentially useful in storage of hydrogen fuel, by taking advantage of the cluster formation in the positive-charged sites of adequate crystalline materials \cite{PXJK99,a7}.

The first species of the homogeneous series H$_3^+$(H$_2$)$_n$, the H$_5^+$, is an atypical hydrogen cluster \cite{a2}. Its electronic properties does not fit in those of the large members of the series \cite{MGM01,MM03}. As Ohta {\it et al.} have recently shown \cite{a2}, one main reason for such anomalous behavior is the isomerization process
\begin{equation}
H_3^+(H_2) \rightleftharpoons H_2(H^+)H_2 \rightleftharpoons (H_2)H_3^+ ,
\end{equation}
which take places even for very low temperatures.

Since its detection in 1962 \cite{DT62}, many experimental studies of dissociation energies
and thermochemical properties of the H$_{n}^+$ clusters have been performed
\cite{YGRS87,OYL88,NMT92,FBM01}.
For the purpose of the present work, the investigations performed by
Okumura $\it{et \hspace{0.1cm}al}$ \cite{OYL88} using infrared vibrational predissociation spectroscopy
are particularly relevant.
They observed the broad and structureless vibrational bands corresponding to the
H$_2$ and the H$_{3}^+$ units into the (H$_2$)$_{n}$ ionic clusters for n = 1-6 and analyzed
the dependence of the shift of these vibrations with the size of the cluster. A similar approach
was latter used by Bae \cite{B91}.

Numerous $\it{ab \hspace{0.1cm}initio}$ calculations have been carried out
\cite{a4,MGM01,YGRS87,a5,RAPG01,MM03,a7,a2,NMT92,AR75,YGS83,IDMK97,MBNH91,a1,a3,a6,WVO94}
aiming to determine their equilibrium structures,
low-lying stationary points and dissociation energies. A very detailed
$\it{ab \hspace{0.1cm}initio}$ investigation of the H$_{5}^+$ cluster was carried
out by Yamaguchi $\it{et \hspace{0.1cm}al}$ \cite{YGRS87}. They revealed a quite
complicated structure of the interaction potential: ten distinct stationary points
were located.
Their high-level calculations predicted a C$_{2v}$ structure as the global minimum.
\v{S}pirko {\em et al.}
studied the potential energy surface of H$_{5}^+$ and its corresponding
vibrational spectrum using the multi-reference configuration interaction  (MR-CI)
methodology \cite{S93,WVO94,S97}.
Besides these works
there are only a few theoretical papers dedicated to the infrared spectrum
of H$_{5}^+$ and they are all retricted to the harmonic frequencies
\cite{YGRS87,RAPG01,a7,MBNH91,a1}. A recent work by Barbatti and
Chaer Nascimento  examined in some depth the vibrational spectra of
H$_{2n+1}^{+}$ using
the VSCF methodology \cite{MM03}. As mentioned above, in addition to the scarce
theoretical data
only the experimental results of Okumura \cite{OYL88} and Bae \cite{B91} are available for the vibrational spectrum of this system.
Therefore a more complete caracterization of this system is warranted. The focus of this work is to provide a detailed description of
the vibrational spectrum of H$_{5}^+$.

A full description of the vibrational spectrum of H$_{5}^+$ needs to
take into account nine degrees of freedom. The computational effort in the
traditional variational methods that rely on integration using normal quadratures
is prohibitive. One of the alternatives to overcome such shortcoming is the use
of Monte Carlo methods to calculate the multidimensional integrals which appear
in time independent problems, \cite{CB88,BCL90,APH99,ACP99,REV00,WP01}
which do not present the
same limitations of the variational methods. This method has been applied
successfully for the computation of the vibrational and ro-vibrational spectra
of triatomic and tetratomic molecules
\cite{APH99,ACP99,REV00,WP01,PLF00,FVA99,FVN99,FVP98,WEPR03}.
In this work we used the CFQMC methodology to obtain the vibrational states of
the H$_{5}^+$ molecule. We also study the PES used in this work using the
genetic algorithm\cite{genetico1,genetico2,genetico3, genetico4, genetico5, genetico6}.
This article is organized as follows. A short description of
CFQMC methodology and of the genetic algorithm is given in  the next section.
Sec. \ref{results} is devoted to the presentation of the results, and in sec.
\ref{conclusion} the discussion and concluding remarks are presented.

\section{Methodology}
\subsection{Correlation Function Quantum Monte Carlo}
\label{cfqmcm}

We start from the Born-Oppenheimer nuclear Hamiltonian of a molecular
system (in the center-of-mass reference frame)
\begin{equation}\label{2}
H = -\sum_{i=1}^{N-1}\frac{\hbar^2}{2\mu_i}\nabla_{i}^{2} + V({\bf R}) ,
\end{equation}
where {\bf R} is the vector of the coordinates of all particles of the system,
$V({\bf R})$ is the potential energy of the nuclei. The vibrational energy levels
of the system will be then computed by solving the eigenvalue problem:
\begin{equation}\label{1}
H\Phi_i({\bf R}) = E_i\Phi_i({\bf R}),
\end{equation}
where $E_i$ and $\Phi_i({\bf R})$ are the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of $H$.
Given a trial basis set of {\it m} known functions $f_{i}({\bf R})$ we can define
the following generalized eigenvalue problem \begin{equation}\label{4}
\sum_{j=1}^{m}[H_{ij} -\Lambda_k N_{ij}]
d_{kj}=0\; ,
\end{equation}
where $d_k$  is  the  $k^{th}$  eigenvector and  $\Lambda_k$  its  associated
eigenvalue, and
\begin{eqnarray}\label{3}
N_{ij} = \int d{\bf R}f_{i}({\bf R})
f_{j} ({\bf R}),  \nonumber \\
H_{ij} = \int d{\bf R}f_{i}({\bf R})
Hf_{j}({\bf R})  \; ,
\label{eq4}
\end{eqnarray}
are the overlap and Hamiltonian matrix elements associated with the basis set.
The matrix elements defined in Eq.(\ref{eq4})  are evaluated using Monte
Carlo integration techniques. The only difference of this method and the
traditional variational methods is the use of Monte Carlo to compute the
integrals. Of course an accurate spectra will depend on the quality of the basis
set $\{f_{i}({\bf R})\}$. In this work we use the basis set of reference
\cite{APH99}. Namely, for the ground state
\begin{equation}\label{8}
\psi_0 = exp(\sum_{\nu\mu} \Delta S_\nu A_{\nu\mu}\Delta S_{\mu})
\end{equation}
with $\Delta S_{\nu} = S_\nu - S^0_{\nu}$, and $S_{\nu} = |r_i - r_j|$ the
distance between atoms $i$ and  $j$, and $S^0_{\nu} = |r_i - r_j|^0$ the
equilibrium distance between atoms $i$ and  $j$. The variational parameters
$A_{\nu\mu}$ are optimized in order to minimize the variational energy or its
variance.  The trial functions for the excited states are given by
\begin{equation}
f_{i} = \psi_0\prod_{\nu} (\Delta S_{\nu})^{n_\nu(i)}.
\end{equation}
This basis set was applied successfully in the study of vibrational spectra of 2-,
3- and 4-atom molecules
\cite{CB88,APH99,ACP99,REV00,WP01,PLF00,FVA99,FVN99,FVP98,WEPR03}.
An improvement to this methodology is
the use of the diffusion Monte Carlo techniques to ``project" out the excited state
spectrum. We restricted ourselves to the variational implementation of the method in
order to have a comparison in the same
footing of this technique with the VSCF, which is also a variational based method.

Another important aspect related to the accuracy of the CFQMC is the quality of the
potential energy surface (PES) describing the motion of the nuclei. In this work
the PES of \v{S}pirko {\em et al.} \cite{WVO94} fitted to MR-CI
all-electron computations at 110 different configurations of the nuclei was used.
A set of curvilinear coordinates was used to facilitate the computation of the
vibrational spectrum .  The purpose of the CFQMC calculations is twofold. First,
to show that the method can be applied to compute the spectrum of a 5-atom molecule.
Second, to determine the accuracy of the PES of ref. \cite{WVO94}.

\subsection{Genetic Algorithm}
\label{vscfm}

In our genetic algorithm the population is coded in a binary discrete cube named $\bf{A}$, with $l\times
m\times n$ bits. The elements of $\bf{A}$, $a_{ijk}$, are either 0 or 1, with $i,j,k$ integers numbers $1\leq
i\leq l$, $1\leq j \leq m$, $1\leq k \leq n$. The label $i$ refers to the component $i$ of the gene $j$ of
the individual $k$. Therefore, $\bf{A}$ represents a population of $n$ individuals, each one of them have a
genetic code with $m$ genes. Each gene is a binary string with $l$ bits.

The genetic code of the individual $k$ is given by
\begin{equation}
[\overline{\bf{a}}]_k=[\overline{a}_{1k},\overline{a}_{2k},...,\overline{a}_{mk}],\nonumber
\end{equation}
were
\begin{equation}
\overline{a}_{jk}=\sum_{i=1}^{l}2^{i-1}a_{ijk} \label{aijk}
\end{equation}
is a integer number composed with the binary string $a_{1jk}a_{2jk}..a_{ijk}..a_{ljk}$. It is defined on the
interval $[0,2^{l}-1]$. To define the real search space for each parameter, we transform
\begin{equation}
\overline{a}_{jk} \rightarrow {a}_{jk} \equiv
\frac{(a^{max}_{j}-a^{min}_{j})}{2^{l}-1}\overline{a}_{jk}+a^{min}_{j}\label{ajk}
\end{equation}
where ${a}_{jk}$ is a real number defined on the interval $\delta_j=[a^{min}_{j},a^{max}_{j}]$.

We define the phenotype of the individual $k$, $V_{k}\equiv V([\bf{a}]_{k})$ where
$[\bf{a}]_{k}=[a_{1k},a_{2k},...,a_{jk},...,a_{mk}]$
is a set of coefficients that characterize the individual $k$. With this we define the fitness of a phenotype
$k$ (set of coordinates)
\begin{equation}
F_k=S_{max}-S_k\nonumber
\end{equation}
where $S_k$ is the energy given by the SEP for this phenotype,
and $S_{max}$ is the worst individual in the population.

We use the most common operators: selection, recombination and mutation. The selection operator normalize the
vector $S_{k}$
\begin{equation}
P_{k}={\frac {S_{k}}{\sum S_{k}}}\label{prob}
\end{equation}
that represents the probability of each individual been selected for a recombination through a roulette
spinning. For the purpose of this work we selected $n/2$ individuals (parents) that will generate, through the
recombination operator, $n/2$ new individuals (offsprings). So, to make a new generation we joint the $n/2$ old
strings (parents) with $n/2$ new strings (offsprings) in order to maintain the population with fixed number $n$.
The recombination operator is a cross-over operator that recombine the binary string of each gene $j$ of two
random selected individuals to form two new individuals. In this work we use a two random point cross-over.

The mutation operator flip $N_{mut}$ random selected bits in a population. We choose $N_{mut}$ to make the
probability of change of a given bit equal to $0.01$ per cent. So, in a population of $l\times m\times n$ bits,
we make
\begin{equation}
 q = \frac {N_{mut}}{l\times m\times n}\label{q}
\end{equation}
where $q$ is the probability of change of one bit.

An elitist strategy is used. It consists of copying an arbitrary number $N_{el}$ of the best individual on the population
in the next generation. It warrants that this individual will not be extinguished.

We found a large number of acceptable solutions. The set of all solutions is
the definition of search space ($\Gamma$). The length of $\Gamma$ is defined  by the number $m$ of coefficients
and the length $l$ of the binary codification. Each one of the 12 coefficients (coordinates), that define the
individual $k$,
can assume $2^l$ distinct values. So, an individual in the population is only one possibility among
$2^{l\times m}$. This value defines the length of $\Gamma$. The length of $\Gamma$ describes the number of
digits that are used to express a real value $a_{jk}$ and shows the minimal difference between two
possible values of $a_{jk}$. Being each coefficient defined on an arbitrary interval $\delta_j$,
the precision of the coefficient $a_{jk}$ is

\begin{eqnarray}
\frac{a_{j}^{max}-a_{j}^{min}}{2^l}.\label{precision}
\end{eqnarray}

If we do not have any information about the order of magnitude of the $a_{jk}$ values, we must choose the
$\delta_j$'s intervals such that they cover the greatest number of values. However, after some generations, we
obtained more precise information about the order of magnitude of each coordinate $a_{jk}$. In order to improve
the performance of a standard genetic algorithm (GA), we include in our technique the concept of dynamic search
space. It
consist in the use of information of past generations to determine the length and precision of the search space
for the next generations. For the first generations, when we have few information about the magnitude
of the coordinates, we do not need many digits to represent a real number $a_{jk}$, that is, we use a low
precision codification given by a low value of $l$. In this way, we make $\Gamma$ a ``small" search space and the
GA can find the regions of acceptable solutions faster. Once found some of these regions we can redefine the
$\delta_j$'s intervals and rise the precision rising the length of binary codification $l$. After extensive
trials of the parameters values we take $m=12$, $n=100$, $q=0,01$ and $N_{el}=10$. Beside that, we always start
the GA with a random population defined in the initial intervals
$\delta_j=[a_{j}^{min},a_{j}^{max}]=[-10,10]$ and set the initial value for the length of the binary
codification $l=12$. In this way we had a search space of length $2^{l\times m}=2^{12\times 12}=2^{144}$ and the
minimal difference of two possible values of $a_{jk}$ is $\frac{10}{2^{11}}
\simeq 49 \times 10^{-4} $. After 1000
generations we redefine $l=l+4$ and $\delta_j=[a_{j}^{min},a_{j}^{max}]$ where
$a_{j}^{min}=a_{jbest}+a_{j}^{min}\times 10^{-1}$, $a_{j}^{max}=a_{jbest}+a_{j}^{max}\times 10^{-1}$ and
$a_{jbest}$ is the fitest individual in the population found along the last 1000 generations. We set 10000
generations for each run of the GA. It should be pointed out that the algorithm is very robust and works
properly with an wide range of these parameters.

\section{Results}
\label{results}
For well-behaved systems a first, usually good, description of the fundamental
vibrational frequencies is the harmonic approximation. In Table I we present
the harmonic frequencies corresponding to the PES of ref. \cite{WVO94}, used in our
CFQMC computations,
together with those obtained at MP2/6-311G(d,3p) level as the first step in the VSCF methodology,
the ones obtained by Prosmiti {\em et al.} using the QCISD(T)/cc-PVQZ \cite{a1},
and the CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVTZ of Prosmiti {\em et al} \cite{RAPG01}. The results are
in reasonable agreement with
each other. The largest discrepancy is observed in the normal mode corresponding to
the second skeletal motion. Whereas the value obtained using the PES of ref.
\cite{WVO94} is 1660 cm$^{-1}$, the frequencies obtained using the MP2-VSCF, the QCISD(T)/cc-PVQZ
and the CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVTZ are 1201, 1170, and 1174 cm$^{-1}$,
respectively. This difference may be due to either the difference in the levels
of computation, or to the fitting of the PES itself. Unfortunately, in
ref. \cite{WVO94} the frequencies in the harmonic approximation are not presented
and this question may not be uniquely answered. To gauge the validity of the
harmonic approximation one must include the anharmonic effects. These effects were
considered at the CFQMC level of computation.

In Table II we consider the anharmonic effects at the CFQMC(VMC) level of
calculation. For comparison, the results of \v{S}pirko {\em et al.}  \cite{WVO94}
methodology and some available experimental results are also included.
As mentioned
above, the computation of the spectra was performed using the CFQMC method in the
variational form.  The basis set consisted of 220  basis functions and the
parameters of the wave function used in our calculations were adjusted to
minimize the energy of the ground state and the first nine excited states.
As one can see, there is a reasonable
agreement between all the computations. In particular, the results for the
8$^{th}$ and 9$^{th}$ states obtained in reference \cite{WVO94},
which correspond to the H$_{3}^{+}$ symmetric stretching and the
H$_2$ stretching motions, are in good agreement with the experimental results
of ref. \cite{OYL88}. The CFQMC results differ a little and they are closer
to the values of the frequencies of the H$_2$ and H$_{3}^{+}$
isolated molecules.
Although the CFQMC of these frequencies in the H$_{5}^{+}$ are shifted in the
right direction the shifts are much smaller than the ones predicted by the
experiment.

In FIG. \ref{fig1} we display the fundamental frequencies of the H$_2$,
H$_{3}^{+}$, and H$_{5}^{+}$ molecules in the harmonic approximation, using
the CFQMC, and the experimental results \cite{OYL88}. A similar analysis of the
MP2-VSCF results is presented in ref. \cite{MM03}. In all cases the frequency
corresponding to the symmetric stretching of H$_{3}^{+}$ is blue-shifted in the
H$_{5}^{+}$ complex and the one corresponding to the H$_2$ stretching motion is
red-shifted. However, the shifts predicted by the CFQMC are much smaller than the
ones predicted by the harmonic approximation, the experiment and the MP2-VSCF
computations. This difference may be due to the coordinates used to fit the PES
used in the CFQMC computations. This PES uses a set of curvilinear coordinates
\cite{WVO94} which are ill-defined as two completely different and non-equivalent
set of configurations of the five atoms correspond to the same set of curvilinear
coordinates. In the case of the harmonic approximation or in the original
calculations of ref. \cite{WVO94}, the computations are performed close to
the minimum and this ill-definition of the coordinates do not affect the final
frequencies. In the case of the CFQMC the integral is evaluated in the whole
space, therefore, making the results more susceptible to the choice of coordinates
used to describe the PES. Nevertheless, our calculations seem to be describing
the stretching motion of the H$_2$ and the symmetric stretching of H$_{3}^{+}$ as
independent of all the other vibrational modes.

The CFQMC results are limited by the quality of the PES but has the advantage
that one can compute the full spectrum, limited of course by the size of the basis
set. In FIG. \ref{fig2} we present the results of all the vibrational frequencies
obtained in our CFQMC up to 5000 $cm^{-1}$. The lines are broadened by 30$cm^{-1}$.
The full arrows indicate the fundamental frequencies as obtained by our CFQMC
computations, while the dotted arrows indicate the experimental results
\cite{OYL88}.
The experimental results fall in overtones of our computed results rather than
fundamental frequencies.

Because of the disagreement between the CFQMC computed frequencies of the
H$_2$ stretch
and the symmetric stretching H$_{3}^{+}$ in H$_{5}^{+}$, with the experiment and other computations we decided to  perform an additional study of the topology
of the PES used in this work. We decided to search for other minima besides the
accepted C$_2v$ minimum. This search is performed with the genetic algorithm
which has been demonstrated to be a very robust method for global minimum
search.

The inital population was completely random and after a few generations
we observed the different minima (local and global). Fig. \ref{fig3}a shows two
candidates for the global minimum. The energies of the two minima are
identical. Further analysis shows that in the curvilinear coordinates in which
the potential is defined they are identical minima.

Based on the minima of Fig. \ref{fig3}a we started a new population and run
the program for a few more generations. The minima of Fig. \ref{fig3}a are
again among the lowest energy structures. However, a new lower energy minimum
is found. This minimum is displayed on Fig. \ref{fig3}b. As one can see this
candidate for global minimum is a configuration in which the H$_2$ and the
H$_{3}^{+}$ molecules appear as not bound. This explains why the CFQMC
computations frequencies of the H$_2$ stretch and the symmetric stretching
H$_{3}^{+}$ modes are very close to their free values. The CFMQC integration
samples configuration in the whole space and they will include the structure
of Fig. \ref{fig3}b. The same does not happen with the harmonic frequencies
as they were computed near the accepted C$_2v$ global minimum.

\section{Conclusion}
\label{conclusion}

We have obtained the vibrational energies of the H$_{5}^+$ cluster in the harmonic
approximation and by using  the
correlation function quantum Monte Carlo (CFQMC) methodology.
The lowest frequencies of the H$_{5}^{+}$ are not well described in the
harmonic approximation due to the flatness of the potential energy surface
of the complex.
The only available experimental data for this system are the frequencies of the
stretching motion of the H$_{2}$ and the symmetric stretch of H$_{3}^+$ obtained
by IR predissociation experiments in the H$_{5}^{+}$ conplex. These frequencies
are red- and blue-shifted when compared to these frequencies in the free molecules.
We have seen that the shifts using CFQMC are smaller than the shifts obtained by
the harmonic approximation and the experiment.

Our genetic algorithm search of a global minimum revealed two interesting
facts about the PES of ref. \cite{WVO94}. First, their choice of  curvilinear
coordinates is ill-defined, non-equivalent configuration in cartesian
coordinate have identical curvilinear coordinates. Second, and most important,
the global minimum is a configuration in which the H$_{2}$ and H$_{3}^+$
molecules are not bound. This explains the small values of the shifts of the
frequencies of the stretching motion of the H$_{2}$ and the symmetric stretch of H$_{3}^+$ when compared to their values in the free molecules.

In conclusion, our CFQMC and genetic algorith study of the PES of ref. \cite{WVO94} shows a good agreement with
other computations and the available experimental data. The differences are explained in terms of the definition
of the curvilinear coordinates used in the definition of the PES. As a future work we are proposing to
reparametrize the PES in more appropriate coordinates with additional CFQMC computations.

Mazda RX-8 Production Was Stopped
Mazda RX-8 Production Was Stopped – Mazda Motor Corp. (MMC) to cancel the production sports car RX-8 rotary-engined due to be triggered two things, namely that falling sales and tightening global emissions standards. Production at factories Hiroshima, Japan ended early last July, was ended this year's global sales.
Mazda RX-8 and three generations of RX-7 with a rotary engine has long circulated in the market. With the 1.3L engine is equipped twin-motor, the rotary engine produces power 232 HP at 8500 rpm.
Unfortunately, sales were less enthusiastic and only sold 1134 units last year, down 49 percent compared to 2009. Even until last July, the marketing down another 21 percent.
In fact, the RX-8 now has a price of U.S. $ 27,590 (including freight), sales had reached 23,690 units in 2004.Tapi, the first generation RX7 never exceeded 50,000 units in the 1980s.
Interesting Mazda RX-8 of the European market last year due to failing to meet emission standards. According to sources from within, without any demand from Europe, can not sell the Mazda RX-8. Then, the exports of Japan is very difficult due to the strengthening of the yen against the dollar, making the Mazda suffered operating losses in North America from April to June almost tripled.
Step Mazda rotary engine pulled from the American market is not for the first time. In 1995, they've pulled the RX-7 to 2003 and returned to the show room with the RX-8 model.
Is the Mazda rotary engine era over? according to the source of Hiroshima, the Mazda engineers are preparing the next generation rotary 1.6L capacity with 16X code with specifications lower emissions and fuel consumption more efficient.

Color is an enormous and complicated topic. But did you know that there are rules you can follow to simplify the color picking process? It's true. Like music, some colors clash and are dissonant. Others complement each other like the notes in a beautiful chord. In this in-depth course, expert trainer Iain Anderson teaches you how to use the Color Guide and its Harmony rules to help you make your project's color choices work together to achieve clarity and power.
After shedding light on color, Iain then presents Illustrator CS6's vast assortment of brush types and explains their capabilities from both a technical and artistic point of view. And, if you're a graphics tablet user, you'll benefit from Iain's demonstrations of the new improved brush types which Adobe designed to feel and respond just like their real-world counterparts!
Finally, to wrap it all up, Iain gives you a chance to apply everything you've learned in a mini-project: A Color Illustration. This demonstration shows you how all these concepts work in an illustrator's real world.
To continue to improve on your Illustrator knowledge and skills, watch all of macProVideo's expanding series Illustrator CS6 courses!
This is a great course for all new users, you'll walk away with a full understanding of these tools.
Another solid Illustrator tutorial set. I like the "bite sized" aspect of these tutorials also. I was able to watch most of this tutorial over a few meals. These videos have really helped to demystify Illustrator. Thanks!!

Q: Access request.session from backend.get_user first of all: this is not the same as this. The ModelBackend has no request member.
I want to access the session of the current user without access to the global request object or his/her session ID.
Why? I wrote my own authentication backend, extending ModelBackend. In that I have the function get_user (self, user_id), that gets called with every request (this is done automatically by the Django auth middleware). Unfortunately, get_user doesn't have access to request, but nonetheless in my case I want to check with data in the session (Why again? Because I don't have a local database and get all data from a remote middleware. The session would be a comfortable way to do some kind of caching).

A: You can use the tiny ThreadLocalMiddleware. It makes the request object everywhere available.
from django_tools.middlewares import ThreadLocal

request = ThreadLocal.get_current_request()
# request.session <-- is now available

Do not forget to add the middleware into the MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES tuple of your settings.py:
MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
    ...
    'django_tools.middlewares.ThreadLocal.ThreadLocalMiddleware',
    ...
)

A: The RemoteUserBackend (from django.contrib.auth.backends) uses special middleware, RemoteUserMiddleware, to access request data. Maybe you could do it this way, too.

A: You can also pass a 'request' parameter to the authenticate function any time you call it:
def authenticate(self, request, **kwargs):
    ....

Q: Equivalent of Octave's `meshgrid` in Chapel Octave provides a utility function called meshgrid that generates point fields.  This is very useful in large scale simulations for evaluating functions at certain points.  With Chapels Domain feature, the mesh could be distributed.  Is there a library that provides this functionality?

A: This isn't fully general (or tested in detail), but how about this for a prototype
proc meshgrid(arrs : ?T ... ?nsize) where
  isArray(T) && (nsize > 0)
{
  const lo = arrs.indices.first;
  // All elements have the same type T, so we only need to check that.
  assert(arrs[lo].rank==1);

  type retType = nsize*arrs[lo].eltType;

  // Define the output domain
  var tmp : nsize*range;
  for ii in arrs.indices do (tmp(ii),) = arrs[ii].domain.dims();
  var Dom = {(...tmp)};

  var retval : [Dom] retType;
  forall ijk in Dom {
    for ii in lo.. #nsize do retval[ijk](ii) = arrs(ii)[ijk(ii)];
  }

  return retval;
}

Here's an example
var x = [1,2,5];
var y = [2,1];

writeln(meshgrid(x,y));

which yields
(1, 2) (1, 1)
(2, 2) (2, 1)
(5, 2) (5, 1)

I chose to save the indices as tuple elements, since that seemed most natural in terms of the ways I might use this (given Chapel promotion).

Buy a house in LA: Which home did I pick?
Now that I've laid bare my Los Angeles house hunting experience, this first-person series on house hunting is finally coming down to the wire.
I've foolishly revealed my finances and the nitty-gritty details of my mortgage application process and tried to scratched the surface of gentrification, a very layered topic that surely deserves a series of its own. Whether you've been reading for purely entertainment purposes or seeking a real-life scenario of another LA millennial trying to buy a home under $500,000—or both—I hope my story has helped shed light for other prospective buyers in similar shoes or better.
This story is part of a first-person series on house hunting in LA.
While I'm not here to offer my own two cents on solutions to remedy the very scary state of LA's residential real estate scene—that's what the experts are for—the goal is simply to share how I managed to navigate through the insane seller's market in the City of Angels.
After sitting on the edge of your seats for that past few months, dear reader, here comes your chance to finally weigh in on what and where you think my husband and I ultimately bought. Below, see five contenders, and let us know in the poll at the end which house you think made the cut. Let the games begin!
This Mediterranean-style house built in the '20s features an upgraded kitchen and enough bedrooms for our growing clan, all packed into just over 1,000 square feet, which may eventually feel cramped. Though the street itself is clean and charming, we're not thrilled that it's just one major boulevard away from LA's most violent neighborhood and that the nearest public schools have low ratings. The investment could pay off in when the Metro Crenshaw Line and Rams Stadium open up—a move that neighborhood experts say contributes to the negative effects of gentrification.
With a new kitchen, new hardwood floors, plenty of front and back yard space, freshly-painted exterior, and more upgrades, this cute bungalow checks off everything on our house wish list. Built in the early 1900s, the house offers enough indoor and outdoor space for a family of four—but the same concerns with safety, schools, and negatively affecting the community remain as with the other South LA home.
Via Jorge A. Rodriguez, J & V Real Estate Group Inc.
A cabin Craftsman fit for Smokey the Bear, this charming and light-filled Valley home boasts a grassy front and back yard. Although it's listed as a three-bed, one "room" is more like a glorified laundry room or walk-in closet and the awkward kitchen would eventually need a reno. Almost as far north as you can get in the city of Los Angeles (the 405 basically starts in these parts, not to mention it's freakin' HOT), my husband's looking at a one-hour commute minimum each way. The trade-off would be coming home to a spacious living and dining room.
Just a short drive away from my parents (read: free and frequent childcare), this adorable midcentury Tujunga abode is the kind of place that would've charmed us in our early 20s. Though the roomy back yard features citrus trees (free lemons are the real California gold) and tons of play space, we'd definitely outgrow this two-bedroom house and would eventually want to modernize the outdated kitchen—something that would break our hearts as two vintage enthusiasts.
Ready to vote? Cast your ballot below and stay tuned to find out the verdict.
Which under-$500K home did I pick?

Before most people had heard of the internet, and most homes had personal computers, Chaum was concerned with the future of online privacy. His 1981 paper, "Untraceable Electronic Mail, Return Addresses, and Digital Pseudonyms" laid the groundwork for research into encrypted communication over the internet. He designed an anonymous payment system for the internet which he outlined in a 1982 paper titled "Blind signatures for untraceable payments." The magazine article focuses on the trajectory of Chaum's subsequent creation of a digital money system called eCash and how his work remains relevant today.

While passion and vision are key, he stressed the importance of always choosing people over technology and cautioned students that "the purpose [of your work] should never be, this is how I'm going to make a lot of money." Instead, if you think about how you can make the world a better place you will never regret the outcome.

Burnt 'Alien Body' Found After Meteor Explodes.???
Posted on September 9, 2015 by 1stminstrel
You might think that this is simply the remnants of a meteor that exploded on Earth but some UFO hunters are convinced it is actually a burnt alien body.
The charred remains form some kind of alien shape – if you are to believe extraterrestrial expert Scott C Waring – and they were discovered when the meteor fell to Earth.
Offering the use of words that people used to described the charred rock/alien as proof, Waring is convinced the truth is being kept from us.
He wrote on UFO Sightings Daily: "The people who found it all over said they found 'parts' all over the ground… they didn't use the word pieces, which means they thought they looked like technology."
As if that wasn't all the proof we needed to finally find out if we are alone in the universe or not, Waring also claimed that the shape was definitely alien.
He added: "Now this was a such a powerful meteor that fell that power everywhere nearby blacked out, but I want to say this looks like ancient alien technology.
"Look at the body of what looks to be an alien skeleton drone, robot or space suit, because there is no way even an alien body could withstand falling from space and still look this good."
Definitely alien technology. Not a rock.

A reasonable argument about Immigration…..
Posted on August 18, 2015 by 1stminstrel
Newspapers simply won't publish letters to the editor which they either deem politically incorrect (read below) or which do not agree with the philosophy they're pushing on the public. This woman wrote a great letter to the editor that should have been published; but, with your help, it will get published via cyberspace!
From: "David LaBonte"
My wife, Rosemary, wrote a wonderful letter to the editor of the OC Register which, of course, was not printed. So, I decided to "print" it myself by sending it out on the Internet. Pass it along if you feel so inclined. Written in response to a series of letters to the editor in the Orange County Register:
So many letter writers have based their arguments on how this land is made up of immigrants. Ernie Lujan for one, suggests we should tear down the Statue of Liberty because the people now in question aren't being treated the same as those who passed through Ellis Island and other ports of entry.
Maybe we should turn to our history books and point out to people like Mr. Lujan why today's American is not willing to accept this new kind of immigrant any longer. Back in 1900 when there was a rush from all areas of Europe to come to the United States, people had to get off a ship and stand in a long line in New York and be documented. Some would even get down on their hands and knees and kiss the ground.
They made a pledge to uphold the laws and support their new country in good and bad times. They made learning English a primary rule in their new American households and some even changed their names to blend in with their new home.
They had waved good-bye to their birth place to give their children a new life and did everything in their power to help their children assimilate into one culture.
Nothing was handed to them. No free lunches, no welfare, no labor laws to protect them. All they had were the skills and craftsmanship they had brought with them to trade for a future of prosperity.
Most of their children came of age when World War II broke out. My father fought alongside men whose parents had come straight over from Germany , Italy , France and Japan . None of these 1st generation Americans ever gave any thought about what country their parents had come from.
They were Americans fighting Hitler, Mussolini and the Emperor of Japan . They were defending the United States of America as one people.
When we liberated France , no one in those villages were looking for the French-American or the German-American or the Irish-American. The people of France saw only Americans. And we carried one flag that represented one country.
Not one of those immigrant sons would have thought about picking up another country's flag and waving it to represent who they were. It would have been a disgrace to their parents who had sacrificed so much to be here.
These immigrants truly knew what it
meant to be an American. They stirred the melting pot into one Red, White and Blue bowl.
And here we are with a new kind of immigrant who wants the same rights
and privileges. Only they want to
achieve it by playing with a different
set of rules, one that includes the entitlement card and a guarantee of being faithful to their mother country.
I'm sorry, that's not what being an American is all about. I believe that the immigrants who landed on Ellis Island in the early 1900's deserve better than that for all the toil, hard work and sacrifice in raising future generations to create a land that has become a beacon for those legally searching for a better life.
I think they would be appalled that they are being used as an example by those waving foreign country flags.
And for that suggestion about taking down the Statue of Liberty , it happens to mean a lot to the citizens who are voting on the immigration bill. I wouldn't start talking about dismantling the United States just yet.

The Disturbing Case of the Dark Mirror: Investigating the Haunted Object That's Terrified Hundreds……
Haunted objects are a fickle thing. Many people claim to own them, some collect them, and even more people sell them. Unfortunately, regardless of how creepy your vintage doll looks or how authentic your cursed idol is, most haunted objects carry a bad case of stage fright, flat out refusing to perform to the public, opting instead to reveal their true nature in the middle of the night, just out of the view of security cameras and skeptics.
For most of us, the closest we'll ever get to experiencing the menace behind a haunted object is when it's inevitably turned into a big screen spinoff of The Conjuring.
At least that's what I thought until I met the Dark Mirror, a mysterious piece of glass that's managed to terrify hundreds of people, from skeptics to believers, in just a few short months. Frankly, I've never seen anything like it in my life.
The Traveling Museum of the Paranormal & Occult
Over the last 15 years of tracking down cryptozoological monsters and paranormal mysteries, I've collected a good assortment of items that are allegedly haunted. Some of them are connected to famous cases like The Amityville Horror, most are relics from strange cases I've investigated, and a few of them were simply given to me by their former owners, many of them paranormal researchers themselves.
After awhile, I started to realize that keeping these things locked up in Planet Weird HQ was a waste, so I formed The Traveling Museum of the Paranormal and the Occult with my wife Dana. Over the last year the museum has visited loads of conferences and events across the country, including many held in some of the most iconic haunted hotspots in paranormal history. We don't sell anything and we don't charge anyone to see the pieces, we just plain enjoy doing it.
As word of the museum spread, so did the size of our display. More and more people began to reach out with stories of their own haunted objects, eager to send us a troublesome Ouija planchette, an eerie painting, or even things as mundane as a patch of graveyard dirt.
You might think with all of these spooky things lining the shelves at Weird HQ, we'd be swimming in the ectoplasmic residue of a multitude of ghosts, but to be perfectly honest, most of these things don't so much as as rattle in the middle of the night, with most of their "creep factor" stemming from a frightening backstory or an off-putting appearance. In fact, it wasn't until this week that we started needing to lock up some of the items at the HQ rather than keep them on display.
Sometimes all it takes is introducing one bad apple and the whole bushel turns rotten.
The Dark Mirror Arrives: A Brief History of Evil
Back in June, we were approached by a woman about an item that had started to cause particular strain on her family. We'll call her "Sarah". Sarah told us that after visiting a yearly Psychic Expo, her mother had taken an interest in black mirror scrying, purchasing her own mirror at the event.
Even if you don't know it by name, if you've ever seen someone gaze into a crystal ball, you're familiar with the concept of scrying. Since at least the 10th century, scryers have used reflective stones, bowls of water, and dark glass in order to induce a trancelike state they use to see the future, speak with the dead, or perform certain magic rituals. Hell, Joseph Smith even used scrying to help found the Latter Day Saints movement back in the 1820s.
Thanks to popularization by folks like Rosemary Ellen Guiley, scrying is starting to see a bit of a modern resurgence, but not in the pop-culture form which most people are familiar with. Instead of using a crystal ball, "black mirrors" have become the preferred method of divination, and it's not hard to find them on Etsy, eBay, or lining booths at New Age Expos like the one Sarah's mother attended.
Sarah told us that in the weeks that followed the expo, her mother became increasingly distant as she practiced her scrying with the new mirror. When she could manage to get her mother on the phone, her conversations were vacant and full of "gloom and doom". Eventually, Sarah's mother confided that no matter how hard she tried, her scrying attempts were less than successful. In fact, she believed that there was something wrong with her mirror.
As Sarah's mother became more and more withdrawn and obsessed with perfecting her divination, Sarah finally decided to step in, visiting her mother's home and demanding to see the mirror herself. Her mother, visibly distraught, opened a closet and pulled out a small frame draped in a black veil. When Sarah asked her mother why she'd been keeping the mirror covered and locked away, she broke down in tears and replied that it was simply "evil". Sarah kept the mirror wrapped in its cloth, stuffed it in a box, and took it home with her.
Shortly afterwards, Sarah got in touch with us and admitted that while she had decided to chalk most of the events up to an elderly woman taking her hobbies too seriously, she still couldn't shake the heebie-jeebies the scrying mirror gave her. Under the condition of anonymity (and regular updates), she donated the mirror the Traveling Museum of the Paranormal and the Occult. We cleared a display space for it in the living room, and like most of our items, it sat there quietly and without issue.
As curious as I was was, I'd only taken a peek at the mirror. Why? Because I was scared. Not scared of the mirror's alleged powers, but scared that it would have no effect, thus ruining my enthusiasm for an interesting artifact with a spooky history. For about a week, the mirror sat on the mantle, no different than any other frame in the house, save for its black veil.
The Woman Who Saw Her Own Corpse
On the morning of June 20th, we surveyed our weird collection of paranormal ephemera and began packing up the pieces we wanted to display at the museum's latest stop: the Perryville Battlefield in support of Ghost Adventures' Nick Groff. Eager to share the new object and its story, I grabbed the scrying mirror and placed it in our travel box. This would be its first time on public display.
It's not an unusual occurrence for the Traveling Museum of the Paranormal to draw a crowd before being completely set up, and within minutes of unloading our boxes, guests were already inquiring as to what was hidden under the black veil. After recounting the history of the item, I reiterated one of the biggest draws of our traveling display: if you'd like to hold it, use it, experiment with it, or test it, be our guest, the caveat being that you do so only at your own risk. One woman waved her arms and bellowed a hearty "hell no!", others pursed their lips and squinted their eyes while they weighed the pros and cons, but one woman wasted no time reaching down, grabbing the mirror, and ripping off the veil. She only gazed into the glinting black glass for about thirty seconds before her expression changed from incredulity to horror. She quickly slammed the frame face down on the table, her eyes wide with shock.
"So, what did you just see?" I nervously inquired.
"I saw my own decomposing corpse looking back at me," she stammered. "That's a dark mirror. I should not have done that. I need to go say a prayer. Excuse me."
The lady wandered off quietly, and the name stuck. For the rest of the event, guests were whispering about the Dark Mirror, some eventually building up the courage to come and try it out for themselves. For many, the scariest thing they saw was their own reflection, but for the rest, the negative reactions were coming in so often and so aggressively that I began to wonder if I needed to rework our disclaimer.
Reports of strange visions, warping faces, and a general sense of dread were pouring in from the mirror gazers. Later in the evening, one woman decided to press her palm to the surface of the black glass and wound up spending the next two hours violently polishing the mirror in an attempt to get the imprint to disappear. She too had claimed to see her own corpse in the reflection, along with other visions she refused to repeat, and it wasn't until she threatened to smash the mirror that her palm finally faded from the glass.
The mirror wasn't quite the same when we brought it home, or maybe I wasn't. After we had unpacked our collection and returned the items to their usual places, I began to notice myself staring "off into space", and when snapped back to awareness, realizing that I'd been staring at the covered mirror the whole time. I'd started to feel a strong urge to gaze into black glass. Maybe I was just subconsciously weirded out by the disturbing reports of those who'd gazed, but I couldn't shake the feeling that the mirror wanted me to use it. Whether it was own mind playing tricks on me or not, I resisted.
The Taste of Blood: The Dark Mirror Gets Physical
The following month, the museum was visiting Pennsylvania's infamous Pennhurst Asylum when the mirror once again became the centerpiece for weirdness. We still had an hour to go before doors opened to the public, but the caretakers of the property, the Pennhurst Paranormal Association, were checking out the table and inquired about the mirror. As usual, I gave the history and then the option to try it out themselves. One woman, who referred to herself as the group skeptic, decided to give it a whirl. Moments later she was telling us that she'd watched her mouth whisper to her even though we could all vouch that her mouth had never moved.
Throughout the rest of the night, the reports from gazers were twice as creepy as before, if not more-so. One particularly large and imposing man, upon seeing the commotion the mirror was causing, shrugged off the warnings from bystanders and laughed as held the mirror at arm's length and stared deeply, only to stagger backwards and nearly drop the piece, yelling a string of profanities the whole time. The man claims he'd watched another person, who looked exactly like himself, peer around from behind his reflection and walk away.
Unlike the Perryville Battlefield event, the experiences this time weren't simply constrained to visual strangeness. Nearly half a dozen gazers reported the feeling of electricity coursing from the mirror's frame as they held it, even rubbing their sore arms afterwards. Some complained of headaches after staring into it. One woman vividly described the feeling, and taste, of her mouth filling with blood.
When it came time for the guests to begin their paranormal investigations of the property, Jennifer Kirkland, one of the organizers of the Nick Groff Tour and investigator with SHOCK Paranormal, took the Dark Mirror to one of Pennhurst's quiet rooms for her own experiment. Half an hour later she returned, her eyes wide, telling us how she'd watched people who weren't there mill around the empty room.
When we arrived home from the event, I placed the Dark Mirror back on its usual shelf and collapsed from exhaustion after an eight hour drive. When I woke up, I noticed that both of our cats were sitting in the chair at the far end the living room, doing that hilarious head-bobble thing they do when they see a squirrel out the window. That's when I realized that not only do they never sit in the same chair at once, but that they weren't looking out the window at all. They were looking at the mirror… and it was uncovered, its veil lying on the floor.
Sure, maybe the cats pulled the veil off and got spooked. Maybe I was so tired after the drive that I made a half-assed attempt at covering the mirror before giving up and crashing. Maybe the wind did it. As I picked the frame up and went to cover it, the cats scattered and and ran into the next room. In fact, the cats would go nowhere near the mirror, even going into hiding when presented with it.
For the next several days it continued. Each morning we'd walk into the living room, pausing quietly when we found the unveiled mirror glinting in the sunlight. The mirror was uncovering itself at night.
I pulled out the motion activated trail camera that we'd snagged for our Bigfoot hunting adventures, mounted it on a tripod, and for the next week, pointed it at the Dark Mirror every night before bed.
Not only did I find the mirror uncovered three out of those seven nights, but the camera memory card was empty each time. No cats, no wind, nothing. Even stranger, on day seven, I went to check the SD card, only to find it had been corrupted. I can tell that it has nearly 100 megabytes of used space, but it refuses to open. Any attempt to even format the card fails, creating a status bar that keeps growing to infinity.
Live On Air: The Ohio State Reformatory Incident
A few weeks ago, we displayed the museum at Ohio State Reformatory (where I'd previously had a frightening experience that I still can't explain) for Unity: A Journey of Hope's annual LOCKDOWN fundraiser, and again, the Dark Mirror was willing to perform. No corpses this time, but instead, at least three separate guests reported watching a "black mass" hover near their left shoulder, while others claimed to see themselves age forty years.
The highlight though, came when Brock and Dave, the guys from Paramania Radio, invited me to sit down for a live interview, during which someone hands me the mirror. I'm sure you can tell where this is going.
After a bit of coaxing from Dave, who was back in studio, Brock, who was seated next to me, decided that he would give the mirror a try live on air. With an exclamation of "holy shit!", Brock described watching his face distort as a twisted grin spread across his face. He covered it up and refused to look into it any further. You can hear the broadcast here (the bit with the mirror starts around 1:28.25).
That about brings us up to date, and to the current issue with which we're attempting to deal with at Weird HQ. You see, it seems that that Dark Mirror is a bad influence. Not just on the people who dare to gaze into it, but on the objects that it's displayed with. Suddenly and for the first time, many of the objects that were presented to us as haunted are starting actually act that way; the Haunted Painting as finally tossed itself from a wall, the creepy doll named Ruby has mysteriously disappeared, and while neither of us have seen it, we're pretty sure we've heard the charred Ouija planchette sliding around in its glass display case late at night.
For that reason, we don't keep the mirror on display in our living room anymore. Instead, we've wrapped it in a sheet, draped a rosary over it, and locked it in a chest. It's only been a few days, but so far, nothing out of the ordinary, and the other objects seem back to "normal", or as normal as they can get, anyway.
Feeding on Fear: Reflections on the Dark Mirror
After coming into possession of the Dark Mirror and watching hundreds of people have their own terrifying experiences while using it, it's our belief that the piece isn't exactly "haunted" per se, but an object that seems to feed on human interaction, even fear. In the beginning, The Dark Mirror was just another object with an intriguing story behind it, but as we began to feed it a steady stream of freaked out experiencers in haunted locations across the country, it became pretty easy to see that the mirror was affected by all the attention. It took Sarah's mother several weeks of regular, individual scrying sessions for her interactions with the mirror to come to a head, but for three months we've been feeding it a veritable all-you-can-eat buffet.
While we're still in the very early stages of experimenting with the mirror, it's clear that it has an effect on its surroundings, enhancing and influencing already strange objects and places. After being handled by a few hundred people and reintroducing it to Weird HQ, many items which never showed any kind of activity started to exhibit anomalous behavior. Objects that were allegedly haunted started to actually act haunted for the first time. But why?
It's as if the Dark Mirror is acting as a kind of battery. After each event, the phenomena that the mirror exhibits gets a little harder to ignore, leading me to believe that by allowing the brave and the curious gaze into the mirror, not to mention doing so in some of the world's most haunted places, we're "charging it". In turn, it seems like the "juice" gets used not just by the Dark Mirror, but by other objects as well.
There is some precedence for this kind of "storage". Throughout history, a number of cultures believed that mirrors had the power to capture energy, even souls. Serbo-Croatian cultures would bury their dead with a mirror in order to trap the soul of the deceased, preventing it from wandering the Earth for the rest of eternity. Even before that, mirrors were believed to act a kind of portal to the "spiritual realm", and that they could be used to capture and contain evil spirits… only to release them later.
Like most folklore, it's easy to for some to dismiss these stories as tales told by the uneducated during superstitious time periods, but even modern day science lends credibility to the claim that mirrors can store energy. In fact, a lot of research into green energy is invested in the use of mirrors to trap and contain sunlight.
Now for something really spooky. In 2011, a team of physicists claimed that they were able to use mirrors to turn "virtual" photons into real photons.
"According to theory, a mirror can absorb energy from virtual photons onto its surface and then re-emit that energy as real photons. The effect only works when the mirror is moving through a vacuum at nearly the speed of light — which is almost impossible for everyday mechanical devices."
Did you catch that? What these physicists are saying is that they were able to take a reflection and pull it from the mirror and into reality. Granted, it takes a vacuum, the speed of light, and boatload of cash, but the precedent is there. If a photon that only exists in a reflection can pop out of a mirror and into reality, could something larger? Makes you think twice about playing "Bloody Mary", doesn't it?
Continued Observation of the Dark Mirror
Considering what we've seen from the Dark Mirror in just the last three months, the question now is, "should we continue to bring such an object to events?"
Of course! So far, while most experiences with the mirror have been downright scary, they haven't been dangerous. Nothing has been flown through the air, no one has been possessed, and no one's eyes have exploded. Yet. Why shouldn't we share the mirror with as many investigators as possible? After all, how often has anyone had a strange object that liked performing in front of a crowd?
The whole purpose of the Traveling Museum of the Paranormal and the Occult is to offer the curious the ability to get up close in personal with allegedly haunted items while allowing paranormal investigators test the objects for themselves. It's rare enough to see someone who owns a haunted item offer it up for public scrutiny, and even rarer to find an item that so regularly interacts with a crowd. It seems like a real waste to keep that kind of thing locked up in a case or bound at the bottom of a river, particularly when so many are looking to have a paranormal experience of their own.
As we continue to pack up the Dark Mirror for events across the country, now with the added step of unlocking the big wooden chest where it's stored, I'm just as excited as I am nervous to see what kind of charge it gets from the next crowd. Will we manifest a full body apparition? Can we get the mirror to intelligently interact with the latest ghost hunting gadgets? Will someone's eyes explode? There's only one way to find out, but I still won't look into it.
Next month the Traveling Museum of the Paranormal and the Occult is scheduled to appear on a friggin' haunted island with Strange Escapes, and I'm more curious than ever to see how the Dark Mirror acts after being cooped up in a locked chest all month.
Just remember, you gaze at your own risk.

Out of Place Artifacts – "2.8 Billion" Year Old Sphere's…..
Posted on May 18, 2015 by 1stminstrel
For more than three decades, miners at the Wonderstone Silver Mine near Ottosdal in the Western Transvaal, South Africa, have been extracting out of deep rock several strange metallic spheroids. So far at least 200 have been found.
In 1979, several were closely examined by J.R. McIver, professor of geology at the University of Witwaterstand in Johannesburg, and geologist professor Andries Bisschoff of Potsshefstroom University.
The metallic spheroids look like flattened globes, averaging 1 to 4 inches in diameter, and their exteriors usually are colored steel-blue with a reddish reflection, and embedded in the metal are tiny flecks of white fibers. They are made of a nickel-steel alloy which does not occur naturally, and is of a composition that rules out meteoric origin. Some have only a thin shell a quarter of an inch thick, and when broken open are found filled with a strange spongy material that disintegrates into dust on contact with the air.
What makes all this very remarkable is that the spheroids were mined out of a layer of pyrophyllite rock, dated both geologically and by various radio-isotope dating techniques to at least 2.8 billion years old.
Adding mystery to mystery, Roelf Marx, curator of the South African Klerksdorp Museum, has discovered that the spheroid he has on exhibit slowly rotates on its axis by its own power, while locked in its display case and free of outside vibrations.
Mystery Spheres Stump California Space Institute?
Stones, which are found in rock scientists say are billions of years old- and which rotate on their axes, captured the attention of Mr. John Hund of Pietersburg fifteen years ago….
While playing with the stone on a very flat surface at a restaurant one day, Hund realized it was very well balanced. He took it to the California Space Institute at the University of California to have tests done to determine just how well balanced it was. "It turned out that the balance is so fine, it exceeded the limit of their measuring technology and these are the guys who make gyrocompasses for NASA.
The stone is balanced to within one-hundred thousandths of an inch from absolute perfection," explains Hund. Nobody knows what these stones are.
One NASA scientist reportedly told Hund that they do not have the technology to create anything as finely balanced as this. He said the only way that either nature or human technology could create something so finely balanced would be in zero gravity.

The Mystery of the San Pedro Mountains Mummy……
Posted on May 9, 2015 by 1stminstrel
In June 1934, two gold prospectors, who had been digging and blasting for gold within the San Pedro Mountains in Wyoming, came across a small cavern buried deep within the thick rock. When the dust began to settle, the prospectors made a startling discovery – the well-preserved, but long-forgotten, remains of a tiny human.
The origins of this little human were a mystery. Local Native American tribes were known to tell stories of legendary "tiny people," "little spirits", or the Nimeriga. In some of these stories, the small people had magical powers, or healing powers. In other stories, they were a vicious tribe who attacked the Native Americans with poisoned arrows.
The discovery of the mummified remains drew much attention to the area, eliciting many questions, and creating controversy. There were many who doubted the veracity of the prospectors' story, believing the remains to be fabricated, and the story a hoax. Scientists flocked to the area, all with a deep desire to determine the truth behind the tiny person, nicknamed "Pedro." With a sitting height of six and ½ inches, and an estimated standing height of fourteen inches, it was clear that these were no ordinary remains.
The scientists conducted extensive testing on Pedro. First, they reviewed the outward physical evidence. Pedro was found in a sitting position, cross-legged, on a small ledge within what appeared to be a man-made cave. With bulging eyes and a flattened cranium, Pedro was extremely well preserved – so much so that even his fingernails were visible. A gelatinous substance covered Pedro's head, and it became clear that liquids had been used to preserve the body. His nose was flattened, he had a full set of teeth, and his skin was brown and wrinkled, creating the appearance of an old man.

In the years following the discovery of Pedro, scientists conducted more invasive testing, utilizing x-rays to try to unlock the mystery. Several anthropologists initially concluded that the remains were those of an infant, likely born prematurely, or who died shortly after birth. This, however, is an area of disagreement, as a second body of scientists believe the remains to be those of an adult, possibly 16-65 years in age. It has been said that x-rays revealed sharp teeth, and the presence of food in the stomach that appeared to be raw meat. The x-rays also suggested that Pedro had suffered a violent death, showing broken bones, a damaged spine, and damage to the skull.
The discovery of the mummified remains led to significant speculation that the remains were a hoax. The presence of the gelatinous substance on Pedro's head led some to believe that the remains were actually those of a deceased infant, recovered from a medical facility, or that the prospectors had created the remains using a crude form of taxidermy. However, others maintained the remains were evidence of a Leprechaun-like race, like those mentioned in the legends of the local indigenous people, or evidence of an extra-terrestrial being. It was difficult for many to fathom that a human of such tiny stature could possibly be an adult.
While modern testing could provide many more answers about the origins of Pedro, such testing is not possible because the location of the remains has been unknown for several years. It is said that the remains were put on display during sideshows in the 1940s, and were then purchased by a man named Ivan Goodman. Upon Goodman's death in 1950, the remains passed to a man named Leonard Waller (sometimes reported as Walder). The remains have not been seen since.
With the remains nowhere to be found, the mysteries of Pedro linger to this day. Most scientists agree that Pedro's remains were those of an adult male human. However, modern testing could have answered so many additional questions like where he came from, whether he suffered any diseases or congenital conditions, what the gelatinous substance was, and how his remains come to be sealed within a thick layer of rock. The answers to these questions, and many others, are likely to remain unanswered unless the remains can be located and further tested. Until then, scientists and enthusiasts can only speculate about who or what he was.

VFLW Match Report – Round 11
by Brigid Ryan | May 19, 2021 | VFLW Results
VFLW Round 11 vs Williamstown
Saturday 15th May 2021
Downer Oval
Darebin Falcons 2.4-16 drew with Williamstown 1.10-16
Photos by @Rob Lawson Photography
Darebin Falcons had a dramatic one this week, with a tightly fought contest against the Seagulls, and a last point levelling scores in the final minute.
With a strong wind favouring the city end, the first quarter was played mostly in defence for the Falcons. The resoluteness and strength of our backline and midfielders were on display as the team sought to control the ball, and nullify the advantage. In the second quarter, there were more chances to go forward with intent, but all too often the ball was sent long rather than worked forward with precision. Williamstown managed to kick 2 points against the wind but a late Darebin charge drove the ball up in the forward pocket. On debut, youngster Trinity Mills read the ball well as it come off the hands, and hard against the boundary, kicked a beauty at chest high through the big sticks. This goal brought the scores level just before half time.
The 3rd quarter saw some good composure from the Falcons, keeping the ball in hand and restricting the Williamstown attacking game, forcing them to take some longer range shots. With the blustery conditions, the Seagulls managed only 3 points scored in this quarter, but again the Falcons were unable to create sufficient scoring opportunities against the wind. The last quarter started out with a bang with good attacking play, resulting in a second goal off the boot of Captain Simpson. The Falcons continued to attack but only managed another 2 points. It was just enough to let in the hungry Seagulls who got numbers around the ball and kicked 1 goal 1 behind against the wind. The home side seemed to be heading for that all important win. But the Falcons transitioned well from defence, with desperation, game awareness and commitment from players like Annalyse Lister driving the ball forward, and returning Falcon Georgia Hammond getting a crucial dribble kick with the ball rolling, rolling, rolling towards the line, only to be off line for a point. The final siren sounded just moments later, ending the game as a draw.
Terminus Player of the Match Samara David worked hard all day as the extra player in defence, and surging forward with the ball. Jess Dal Poss was the game's leading possession winner, as well as the highest number of tackles for the Falcons. Katelyn Hazelett also played a strong role as an impact player with 11 tackles and making the most of her time on the field. Annalyse Lister put her body on the line, with strong commitment to the contest across the 4 quarters, finishing the day with cuts and bruises and perhaps a tweaked ankle. Kathleen Roe was reliable and resolute in defence.
Coach Mitch Skelly was pleased to see the fight in the side this week, and acknowledged the younger players in the squad were taking their opportunities to step up to the VFLW competition. "It is hard when new to this level, hard to get consistency across 4 quarters, let alone the season, but it has been good to see players taking their chances."
The club is now looking forward to an important match next week, – always a highlight of the season to be playing in the competition's annual Pride Match. Our 2021 Pride Dinner theme is Living Inclusion: Then, Now and To Be and will featuring Darebin premiership players & coaches, Jess Dal Pos & Jane Lange as well as guests from The Outer Sanctum Podcast. There will also be an important one for 4 players who will be celebrating their 150 Game Milestones- Steph Simpson, Samara David, Nic Callinan and Jess Del Poss. Facing one of the the competition leaders in Collingwood, all Falcons family are invited to get down to our home ground at Bill Lawry Oval and get around the team. It is that support from the sidelines that will make the day.

Red Hat Software Collections 2 Delivers Latest, Stable, OpenTools for Traditional and Container-Based Application Development
Published: June 4, 2015 9:33 a.m. ET
New web development tools, dynamic languages and databases, and support for multiple language versions add flexibility to development while retaining production stability
RALEIGH, N.C., Jun 04, 2015 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Red Hat, Inc. RHT, +0.00% the world's leading provider of open source solutions, today announced the general availability of Red Hat Software Collections 2, its latest installment of stable open source web development tools, dynamic languages and databases delivered on a separate lifecycle from Red Hat Enterprise Linux. With a more frequent release cadence, Red Hat Software Collections 2 expedites the creation of production-ready, modern applications, including those built with Linux container deployments in mind.
A key addition in Red Hat Software Collections 2 is support for multiple language versions. With significant differences between seemingly minor point releases of open source languages, developers can now select and standardize development on a specific language version that best meets their current needs while remaining confident that it is backed by Red Hat's enterprise-class support. For example, Red Hat Software Collections 2 includes updates to Python 2.7, continues to support Python 3.3 and also adds Python 3.4 – providing a fully-supported language library and blending developer agility with production stability.
Building upon an already robust selection of the latest, stable developer tools, Red Hat Software Collections 2 adds more than 10 new collections, including the aforementioned Python 3.4, PHP 5.6 and Passenger 4.0. This expanded selection delivers a host of new, fully-supported capabilities for developers on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and OpenShift seeking to build the next generation of enterprise applications.
Updated Collections
Additionally, more than 10 already-included collections have received updates as part of Red Hat Software Collections 2. While some of the updates center on usability tweaks or general maintenance needs, others introduce new functionality, like the python-wheel and python-pip inclusions for Python 2.7. This curation enables Red Hat Software Collections 2 to cater to new development projects while also meeting the needs of existing and in-process developer initiatives.
Containerized Applications
As the benefits of Linux containers based on the Docker format continue to take center stage in the developer world, Red Hat Software Collections 2 continues Red Hat's commitment to bridging the Linux container lifecycle with enterprise requirements, from development to deployment to maintenance. Red Hat Software Collections 2 makes Dockerfiles available for many of the most popular collections, including Perl, PHP, Python and Ruby, helping developers to "hit the ground running" when entering the world of Linux containers.
Red Hat Software Collections 2 users will also have access to the latest version of Red Hat Developer Toolset, a collection of more traditional C and C++ compilers and tools as well as the Eclipse IDE for a fully-realized application development portfolio, with use cases ranging from traditional applications to microservices.
As with all previous installments, the collections included in Red Hat Software Collections 2 will remain supported for two to three years, enabling applications built with these collections to be deployed into production with confidence. Deployment also remains flexible, as developers will be able to deliver applications on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, Red Hat Enterprise Linux Atomic Host, and OpenShift.
Supporting Quotes
Jim Totton, vice president and general manager, Platforms Business Unit, Red Hat
"As developer requirements grow across the application ecosystem, especially with the rise of cloud-native and composable applications, simply having access to the latest tools is not enough.
