I've been quiet of late and just though I'd let you know why.
…Specifically in relation to searchmuse I have been cooking up a new site with a trusted design/ techy friend and the new site will see the light of day in a couple of weeks.
Above is a screenshot of the wordpress theme I've (well he is doing all the work and I'm tagging along for the ride) picked.
I'm sick to death of people telling me I do not have a Responsive/ mobile friendly site so am doing something about it. Mobile's the future apparently.

Denly answers the call as England seek to solve opening woes
The Kent batsman will move up from number four, switching places with the out-of-sorts Jason Roy.
Published: 2 September 2019 - 10.35am
By Press Association Published: 2 September 2019 - 10.35am
Joe Denly has confirmed he will switch places with Jason Roy and open the batting for England in the fourth Ashes Test.
The change was widely expected, with Roy having scored just 62 runs in seven outings at the top of the order.
England still believe the World Cup-winning batsman can be a success in the longer format but have bowed to the inevitable by taking him out of the new-ball firing line.
Instead, Kent batsman Denly will return to the spot where he made his Test debut over the winter and Roy will take up residence at number four.

"I got a call from (captain) Joe Root after a bit of time off and he said he'd like me to go at the top of the order and try to get us off to a good start," Denly told BBC Radio 5Live.
Roy will now have the chance to prove his prowess in the middle order, a role he has fulfilled for the majority of his first-class career with Surrey.
"Obviously Jason is going to bat four and that's great for English cricket," said Denly.
"With Jason Roy in the team we are a better team and with him coming in at four, hopefully with the new ball worn off and myself and Rory Burns doing our job at the top, it allows him to come in and play his way. He's a great player to have there."
Denly made six and 17 in his only previous outing as an opener, in Antigua this January, but showed his ability to focus and bat time by gritting out an important 50 in England's famous series-levelling win at Headingley.

His efforts, as well as those of Root (77), have largely been forgotten in the aftermath of Ben Stokes' brilliant match-winning century but he is happy to go under the radar.
"It's all a bit of a blur…it's all about the last hour," he said.
"Obviously it was a proud moment but as any top-order batter, you come off after getting out wanting more runs. Having made 50 it would have been nice to go on and get a bigger score, but thankfully we had 'King Stokes' coming in and finishing it for us.
"I don't think it's going to sink in for a while. It was a remarkable day and one that will be remembered forever, so to be part of it was very special."

"The prestigious DADI Awards celebrate the best in Digital Marketing in the UK.
On the 9th September, this years DADI award nominations were announced by @dadiawards on Twitter. We've been eagerly anticipating the nominations and have been shortlisted in the Use of Organic Search (SEO) category for our work with WED2B.
What are the DADI Awards?
The DADIs (The Drum Awards for the Digital Industries) celebrate the best in Digital Marketing in the UK over the past 12 months. The winner of each category will be announced at the awards ceremony which takes place on Wednesday 19th October 2017, Park Plaza, Westminster Bridge.
This is our first DADI awards nomination and our search team have been shortlisted in the Use of Organic Search (SEO) category for their outstanding work on WED2B which has led to huge organic improvements. Read about our submission below.
WED2B, the UK's largest chain of bridal stores, appointed META in October '16 to help achieve top organic search positions for competitive keywords like "wedding dresses".
WED2B wanted to rank highly for relevant keywords as the UK's largest bridal retailer with 26 stores, but were making slow progress. In a crowded sector, WED2B were unable to achieve organic visibility that matched their offline presence.
As an agency, we've learnt a lot from our first DADIs submission. It's taken a lot of work from both META and our client WED2B to run a successful campaign that is worthy of this nomination. It's great to receive recognition for an industry-leading SEO campaign.
Watch this space for the results from the finals in October.

You might discover that securing fiber speed business internet in New York City you can rely on might be a challenge. As most of the leading Internet service providers (ISPs) depend on underground infrastructure, they incur significant costs to extend last mile service to new areas. Many places in Northern NJ and New York lack internet connectivity for this reason, making them basically electronic deserts. Fiber speed internet service remains unavailable in many areas of the city as a result of the fact that the majority of major ISPs aren't prepared to make an investment in time or money to get their systems updated. Severed underground cable lines can trigger frequent interruptions even for people who secure business internet. Where can companies turn to when they need superior quality fiber speed business internet in NYC.
For a cost effective solution for business internet in NYC, many business owners are turning to Natural Wireless. To make sure that your data is relayed both quickly and securely, Natural Wireless, the area's only commercial microwave Internet service provider, has built a network of roof top antennas across New York City and Northern NJ to ensure premium service. Since commercial wireless Internet service needs such limited infrastructure, Natural Wireless can add your building to our network in a matter of days, as opposed to the months that it takes cable-based business internet providers to set up and deploy new services. The fact the our network isn't susceptible to excavating accidents which damage cable data transmission lines is another reason to take advantage of our services as a leading provider of business internet in New York NY.
Contracting with the only commercial microwave Internet service for business internet in NYC, Natural Wireless, brings a multitude of advantages that give businesses a competitive edge in the market. Due to the above ground infrastructure utilized by commercial microwave Internet service, as well as the redundancies built into its network, Natural Wireless offers Service Level Agreements for business internet that guarantees 99.9 % uptime as well as fiber speed Internet with the bandwidth specified by the business owner. Still another advantage of contracting with Natural Wireless for your business Internet in Manhattan NY is that we provide symmetrical broadband Internet connections, meaning the upstream speeds will be the same as downstream data speeds. Your workforce will find their web-based collaboration apps and productivity will work much more smoothly than it did with internet service that's cable based when you provide them with high-speed business internet in NYC from Natural Wireless.
Natural Wireless additionally supplies short-term commercial microwave service for events along with construction sites along with supplying offices with fiber speed internet in NYC in addition to North NJ. Just like with our other business Internet services, the symmetrical broadband Internet service Natural Wireless offers for events is dependable and its performance is guaranteed with SLA. When you need trustworthy fiber speed Internet in New York NY at an acceptable cost, call our team at Natural Wireless.


I have hiked Stinson Mountain twice. But neither had the clear view of today. With the last few snowstorms, the mountain is a winter wonderland. The trees are laden with snow. The sky was a bright clear blue.
Last spring, I hiked it with some of my family.
This is the same view in the today.
But I need to go back and hike it Sunday. Why, because today I cheated, so to speak. Today I snowmobiled to the top with my husband. At one point, we were breaking the trail. It appeared the groomer had made it most of the way but had turned around near the top. At that point, Tom broke the trail the rest of the way up.
I wanted to stop and take pictures of the snow hanging from the trees along the trail. I needed to duck to get under some, they were so heavy with snow. But if I did stop, I would have sunk in the snow, it was that deep. I kept saying to myself, "keep going, keep going." The reward was amazing. Below is a gallery of the pictures from the top of Stinson Mt and a picture of the trail map posted at one of the snowmobile trail intersections.
If you are planning on hiking Stinson this weekend, the hiking trail was not packed out since the last snowfall. But the snowmobile trail is. I'm sure the hiking trail will be soon. I'm sure someone will hike it this weekend. Maybe I'll see you there Sunday.
Have you ever seen a sky so blue?
Absolutely beautiful pictures Cathy. I hate snow but there is no denying the beautiy in these pictures.
My two silly Brittanys. They love to hang out with me. They love to hike also. We are working on hiking the four thousand foot mountains in New Hampshire. Follow me on Instagram to see pics of them on our hikes.

Home The Show Keira
Series 16 Specials
The nation's favourite vet, Professor Noel Fitzpatrick returns for this sixteenth series with a Supervet Special 'Saving My Dog' in one of the most emotional and heart-rending stories ever filmed for the show: the story of Noel's dog, Keira.
It's been fifteen years since Noel began expanding the boundaries of veterinary medicine at his practice in Surrey, and his soulmate, the inimitable 'ball of furry joy', Border terrier Keira (now thirteen) has been by his side all the way.
The programme follows every intense, fraught and dramatic step of Keira's battle for life, from just after the accident through each emotional stage of her treatment as a distraught Noel and his team jump into action and stabilise her life-threatening injuries.
The Supervet Special Saving My Dog airs on Thursday 27th May 2021 at 8pm on Channel 4.
On one dark night last September, Noel's life was turned upside down when, by a terrible quirk of fate; Keira was hit by a van right outside the practice. Suddenly, the surgeon renowned for finding solutions for even the most challenging injuries must face the possibility that his Keira may not be fixable – and furthermore, steel himself for the most important surgery of his life.

Magnificence of the Three-Six-Nine and Timing of the Eschaton
The Transcendental Object at the End of Time
Kahauale'a: seismicity and solar flares = son et lumière
If you only knew the magnificence of the 3, 6 and 9, then you would have the key to the Universe
Nikola Tesla Никола Тесла; Serbian American electrical/mechanical engineer and inventor (1856–1943)
Nikola Tesla's Tower: he invented the Tesla coil in 1891--still in use 120 years later in radio, tv and electronics
"(I have conceived) a means…for man to transmit energy in large amounts, thousands of horsepower, from one planet to another, absolutely regardless of distance. Nothing can be more important than interplanetary communication."
"My flying machine will have neither wings nor propellers. You might see it on the ground and you would never guess that it was a flying machine. Yet it will be able to move at will through the air in any direction with perfect safety, higher speeds than have yet been reached, regardless of weather and oblivious of 'holes in the air' or downward currents. It will ascend in such currents if desired."
Nikola Tesla on his self-energizing craft
"Many recent crop circles presaging mathematical/symbolic resonance/code have appeared near transmitters/antennae. Tesla was fascinated by the 'attraction' antennae/lightning rods held for lightning.
History–the Shockwave that precedes the Eschaton
McKenna said: "Nothing is unannounced. If you are paying attention, stuff comes down the pike. First a little wave, then a medium wave, then the tsunami.
"This is what it's like when an entire species prepares to move on to the next dimension" Terence McKenna, speaking in 1999.
'We are in the shadow of this transcendental object at the End of Time; we are all gathered here at the endgame of processes–we are about to become unrecognizable.'
Terence McKenna on Omega Point or Eschaton
He calls Eschtology the 'study of that Last Thing'; the Thing we are still unraveling: that 'concrescence of becoming'. Just as Carl Sagan released his belief systems towards the end of his life, McKenna had doubts. He didn't want to die; at one time he believed death might be overcome.
He tended towards Eastern thought, (*influenced by Teilhard de Chardin, a Jesuit monk); his viewpoint was suffused with mystical theology of Eastern orthodox Christianity which is teleological, Eschatological and Universalist.
He did believe that the Universe has purpose towards hyper-complexification, or advanced organization. He predicted it would occur faster and faster. "In this state there is an illusion which makes it appear as if Nature is tending towards something–towards caring."
"We are on the brink of understanding between Western space-time-matter and the energy dynamic, where an event is NOT pushed from behind, but attracted by something ahead. The Universe is under the sway of the Transcendental Object at the End of Time. All Nature aspires to this state of perfect Novelty. Nature abhors habit; so it produces Novelty at every level."
According to the traditional view, provided in the last 200 years by Science, we live in a 'very ordinary galaxy in a very ordinary Universe'. But, if drawn by the Attractor, we (human beings) suddenly return to center stage, become important in the Scheme of Things, because we are presently the most novel species on the planet–evolving most rapidly–as part of the Cosmos's own tendency towards higher order. 'More than that, we are the carriers,' says Terence.
Most novel development since sliced bread
Symbiosis: Man + Machine = Superconsciousness
Today, as we draw ever closer to that transcendental object at the end of time, TOATEOT, Humanity represents the cutting edge of complexity. The whole process is one of moving towards complexification, his Novelty; our Fusion as one Consciousness; the Omega Point.
When Omega arrives, Humanity will have reached the finite limit of the capacity of the body. It is then, McKenna predicted, we will "'make it with machines'!: These machines are time compressors; they give us a false sense of eternity."
He predicted Consciousness and Language would be the keys.
Our entire civilization cannot move a marble at the speed of light, but we can move information at the speed of light…
Terence McKenna on the human-machine symbiosis
Donna Haraway, "A Cyborg Manifesto: Science, Technology, and Socialist-Feminism in the Late Twentieth Century," in Simians, Cyborgs and Women: The Reinvention of Nature (New York; Routledge, 1991)
How could he know, thirteen years down the line from that prediction, that today we would be knee-deep in our umbilical connection to the Universe via the Internet? We are capable of holding three conversations at once, share omnipresent exclamations of momentary excitement, the discovery of a new spring flower: daily affirmations of our connection. We check out fifty blogs while the washing machine churns and still find time to email parents-child-friend. Last week I was invited to (and spent the evening at) a Blog Party.
There was absolutely no difference in my mind between attending the party in the ethers and one in person in the real world, except for the lack of champagne slipping down my throat. Brain synapses registered the same: maybe an even higher sense of 'anticipation' because some of our new Internet friends we've known for such a short time. We are only just getting the hang of this symbiotic wo/man-machine relationship; but it's fun. Isn't it? As Terence said, in coming together, we are becoming one Consciousness.
McKenna knew this time would come because he was tuned in–through shamanic conviction–to that experiential-knowing of our deep connection through our bodies to Nature to Earth-Solarsystem-Galaxy arm-Universe.
Immanentizing the Eschaton*

You can't go back and you can't stand still
If the thunder don't get you then the lightning will
"We now hold a catalyst for the human imagination of sufficient power that if we use it, we can deconstruct the lethal vehicle that is carrying us toward the brink of the apocalypse. And we can redesign it into a kind of starship that will carry us and our children out into the broad star galaxy we know to be awaiting us. But it's a cultural test Nature is giving us. Intelligence is a grand experiment, upon which a great deal depends… and if it proves inadequate, Nature will cover it over with the same kind of cool impunity as she covered the dinosaurs, the trilobites…"
As McKenna's own death drew near, his compassion for his fellow Man surfaced as the closest he ever came to faith in Universal Intelligence.
Glimpses into that Mind brought him into close alignment with Tesla's own wonder of the Universe–and Number (top). The "magnificence of the 3-6-9" is the Phi spiral which entwines through everything. Both Tesla and McKenna spoke of the marvel of the Fibonacci sequence [3, 6, 9, 15, 24, 39…] and the stunning fractal it reproduces in Nature: from the Julia Set, Mandelbrot kidney-shape and the spiral of growth in plants, to the way galaxies spin in whorls and spirals: each according to an ever-expanding sequence of numbers–Nature's fondness for one-third and two-thirds–themselves fractals of a greater whole.
The 'Julia Set' cropcircle appeared at teatime July 7th, 1996 next to Stonehenge, to the amazement of visitors. Even their trails have Fibonacci beauty
"We wonder why numbers–the product of the human mind–are so incredibly powerful for the description of Nature? Numbers arise in the depths of human restless emotion. What the relationship is of these things to each other is a deep mystery–the most difficult question for philosophy; one not even asked until 20thC–but it indicated a fundamental congruence of processes which are mental and at the same time relate to the world of Nature itself.
Phi spiral form in Fractal Mathematics
"I am an inventor/purveyor of a mathematical theory of Consciousness. I believe that, more powerful than any atom smasher or subtle than any space telescope, is the human mind. The human mind is the most subtle and superb of all instruments for the study and measurement of Nature.
"When we look into ourselves, we discover the same process that we discover in the birth and death of a species, flow of a river, collapse of a corporation or flowering of a love affair. Somehow this process is under the aegis of some sort of universal equation or description, so it doesn't matter if it's the birth or death of your hope, or the evolution of the Pacific Ocean. Processes always occur in the same way. Therefore congruence between the mental world of human beings, the abstract world of mathematics and the world of Nature–it's the same Universal Stuff. This is why the concept of 'truth' can have some meaning." Terence McKenna
...or we could, like the playful dolphin, keep up the game in the hopes that the Universe, in the form of a helpful humpback, might surface and give us the ultimate ride...
His predictions reflected his beliefs: that the human race is facing a dilemma: remain fixed in the plane of matter–or take off and find we have wings. He thought the amphibians must have had similar thoughts '…should we go up there and breathe the atmosphere… can we make it?' Unlike the amphibians, we are breaking from the plane of matter; hurtling towards the Attractor at breakneck speed. The process is now in place, so that we must totally rewrite the script. No-one knows what will happen in the next 100 years, let alone in the next 100 days.
We are becoming a Community of Mind. But, ultimately, the only person in there is you.
'You can argue, discuss and scientifically examine all you like, but it comes down to the same thing: Nobody understands what is happening. Not Buddhists, not Christians, not Government scientists, not anyone you know. So forget ideologies. They betray, they limit, they lead astray. Just deal with the raw data and TRUST YOURSELF. Liberate yourself from the Illusion of Culture. Take responsibility for what you think and what you do.'
We are about to make some new kind of leap. Before you enter the zone, you are an animal; after you leave the zone, you are a god. In the zone you are a schizophrenic and there's a fire in the Madhouse at the End of Time. TMcK
The sweet pea Deva was first to explain to Dorothy Maclean the involvement of the Nature kingdom in human affairs
In the expanded New Age version, based originally on Eastern Orthodox ideas of Eternity–but quantized to fit with parallel universes, relativity of time and space, and the effects encountered in dreamtime and out-of-body experiences–the Eschaton, the 'last thing' has already happened. In *eternity/no-time everything already is, was and will be. So we can theoretically, from our position within (enclosed) time, already access the Eschaton in certain states of awareness. Also, we can choose to live as though continuing in such an awareness. In McKenna's credo, it is extremely important to persevere: to live that belief, once experienced.
Both McKenna and Tesla were steeped in Nature: Tesla invented means to draw free energy from a naturally-occurring waveform attracting lightning to the earth; McKenna lived the last years of his life surrounded by his beloved wild Hawaiian forest, in his committed belief that Nature speaks, if one but listens.
Findhorn Foundation , a 50-year old Intentional Community in NE Scotland, was created around a Group Mind calling itself the Devas/Nature Kingdom. Dorothy Maclean, 92, the last of the community founders, continues to teach/write and spread Nature's spiritual message widely. In her long life she has dedicated herself to sharing that vast store of knowledge imparted by the plant kingdom. She started small: the Deva of the Sweet Pea was first to speak to her. Still others have written/spoken of the wisdom given by Nature Spirits.
Virgin coast redwoods, sequoia sempervirens: Humboldt Co Freshwater Reserve, saved from clear-felling by Julia's treesit in Luna
Julia Butterfly-Hill–treesitter par-excellence–who almost singlehandedly saved swathes of virgin Redwood forest (Freshwater, CA, early 1990s), says her Sequoia host, Luna, whispered to her–mostly at night.
Several indigenous cultures, followers of the back-to-the-Earth movement–of which Ms Maclean and thousands of surviving Baby Boomers are a part–along with an upsurge in much younger Green/Alternative communities–advocate returning to ancestral ways of living in harmony with our surroundings; that we need to return to a state of reverence and respect for the Earth. Kiesha Crowther, Nassim Haramein and Drunvalo Melchizedek foresee mass exodus from cities and towns, should 'earth changes' become the norm.
McKenna would see our present earth-battering by solar flares (M-class flares yesterday, X-class flares today, see NOAA index, sidebar right) as yet another sign of the approaching Eschaton. I think he would again offer his previous advice: to take responsibility for how we think and what we do.
And may we have faith that the Universal Mind–manifesting as our Supreme Intelligence and Oversoul–and having our best interests at heart, will lead us with a kindly hand.

*There is no time at the End of Time because time is 'restored' in its fullness…every moment, every experience in all possible worlds/dimensions becomes eternal at the end of time. Not only what happened but what might have happened (or will happen), so it is essentially infinite. Nothing is lost.

Wiring under the MotherBoard: a Glimpse of how the Universe works

We are trapped in a world of too much infor-mation. Innocence is gone for us. We cannot expect to cross the Rainbow Bridge through a good act of contrition; that will not be sufficient.
We have to understand.
Terence McKenna (1946-2000)
American philosopher, author, ethnobotanist and visionary
With the onset of October, country communities in the Northern hemisphere are preparing for winter and 'death' of the Earth, farmers gathering up strawbales for feed, ploughing and planting overwintering crops. Meanwhile in the cities, activity usually turns to entertainment or to seasonal frivolity—thoughts inwards are not usually the province of mass media. But societal consciousness has changed and now, where it used to be the 'news' that people watched, it is the internet, with increasing mass communication of End Times, not entirely uninfluenced by this month's Calleman version end-date of the Tzolkin Calendar of the Maya on October 28th. On that date, he says, humanity reaches the top of the Ninth Wave, the peak of the nine-step pyramid of Underworlds/Consciousness: the End of Time as we know it.
Autumn this year, however, has brought out the youth of humanity into the streets in droves. The young ones have decided enough is enough; time to speak up about world conditions: Occupy Wall Street *(OWS) has burgeoned into Occupy Chicago, and Los Angeles (second week); with Occupy Maine and Portland,OR., Dallas, Boston (from Oct.6), Dublin and Phoenix (Oct.8, Yom Kippur) Iowa and London (Oct.9, Day for Trees), and including a flurry of Occupy cities scheduled for October 15th, World Revolution Day, collectively marking World Food Day, Columbus Day and Canadian Thanksgiving. Cities—and countries—joining the Occupy movement this week include Montreal, Canada; Brussels, Belgium; Sweden, Holland, Finland and France.
It is no mean feat to camp out in foul weather, with storms predicted—which mid-October often brings—with donated food, little shelter, less money and no end in sight. Yet, this is what the movement is prepared to withstand, in order to get a message across to their audience—the 'fat cats'—that the underdog has tolerated intolerance and inequality long enough and it's time to make a stand on human rights.
Truth cannot be told, so as to be understood, and not be believ'd—William Blake
[If the truth can be told so as to be understood, it will be believed]
It is no coincidence that mainstream media has ignored the Occupy movement. It appears to be too sensitive an issue to report responsibly. It touches too many sacred cows that have been allowed to roam for so long and eat all the pasture; so that amazing technological extension of human consciousness—the internet—has picked up the slack.
The worldwide web has been alive with the OWS movement, with wild stories as well as heart-warming intimacies, spreading faster than mainstream negative news is capable of reporting. The internet has come into its own.
The internet has always had purpose: to bring together MINDS. FB and Twitter are just the fluff on the exterior blowing into the winds of change… there is a deeper connection we are beginning to see and need to appreciate and use. This extension-of-Mind was foreseen by many visionaries, but we, the Now generation—from teenage OWSers to aging Baby Boomers (now outnumbered by the teens)—are still here and can make it work for us.
Mind, consciousness, creative thought have always been Mankind's blessing, his headstart on the lesser animals, but the Earth is straining under her human shackles. She, too, wants to be free.
The Earth, like her biological inhabitants, seems to be responding to that End-of-Time 'attractor', a point beyond the human now, a future dream coming closer—McKenna's 'Dwellpoint ahead in the temporal dimension', his Eschaton.
Glittering entity attracting us into our future... ALMA's first deepspace image, Catseye nebula
This scintillating object glittering in hyperspace, throws off reflections of itself, which actually ricochet into the past, illuminating this mystic, inspiring that saint or visionary, and out of these fragmentary glimpses of eternity we can build a kind of map, not only of the past of the Universe and the evolutionary progression into Novelty, but a map of the future.
Human history represents such a radical break with the natural systems of biological organization that preceded it, that we are now in shock.
I think people have a very narrow conception of what is possible with reality, that we're surrounded by the howling abyss of the unknowable and nobody knows what's out there.
Western religions have persistently integrated into their theologies the notion of a kind of end of the world, Ascension, stepping into heaven-on-earth. It seems that is not going to happen according to any of the orthodox religious scenarios, however, but through basic human will and intuition.
The Universe her/himself—that great Being we dare not see as intelligent—seeks closure in a kind of omega point of transcendence. And s/he will take us, the Earth, the Sun, the solar system and the Galaxy, along with her.
Ritually tuning into the earth...
This is what shaman- ism has always been about. A shaman is someone who has been to the end. He knows how the world really works, and knowing how the world really works means to have risen outside, above, beyond the dimensions of ordinary space, time, and causality. He has actually seen the wiring under the board, stepped outside the confines of learned culture and embedded language, into the presence of what Wittgenstein called "the unspeakable".
This presence will yield knowledge which can be brought back for the good of the community. For 90% of human culture, the shaman has been the agent of evolution. He learns techniques to go between ordinary reality and the realm of ideas, this higher dimensional continuum that is somehow parallel with us, available to us, and yet ordinarily occluded by cultural convention out of fear of the Mystery. Shamans have been able to de-condition themselves from Society's instinctual distrust of the Mystery, in order to go into this bewildering higher dimension, and gain knowledge. They recover and bring back the jewel lost at the beginning of time: to save souls, cure, commune with the ancestors.
T McKenna, 1997
Almost invariably, the shaman who finds himself in the transcendental presence of the Other is humbled. But with practice, he becomes wise; and in nearly every indigenous culture on planet Earth, this Universal wisdom is shared.
The Land of Gaia
'Shamanism is not a religion; it is a set of techniques, and one of the principal techniques is the use of visionary plants. These natural psyche-enhancers dissolve boundaries, and in the presence of dissolved boundaries, one cannot continue to close one's eyes to the ruination of the earth, the poisoning of the seas, and the consequences of two thousand years of unchallenged dominator culture, based on monotheism, hatred of nature, suppression of the female.' The Archaic Revival, 1991
McKenna found shamans acted as exemplars, by making a psychic journey to the domain of Gaian ideas, and then bringing them back in the form of art, and meshing them with the human struggle to save the world. The planet has its own intelligence, and under certain circumstances it will actually open a channel of communication with an individual human being.
Kiesha Crowther's new book: Message for the Tribe of Many Colors imparts earth wisdom to see us through End times
McKenna's reverence for the human body and the planet Earth is echoed—without herbal help—by Kiesha Crowther, 'Little Grandmother', also a shaman, chosen keeper of earth wisdom for the Tribe of Many Colors, and from childhood a lifelong outdoors-living person. Having spent countless days and nights in the high farming community of Colorado, she is able to tune into her heightened sense of (other) life around her, speaks to birds; she can intuit an elk on the highway up ahead. She has developed her own natural shamanist gifts, reinforced by a neglectful upbringing, and enhanced by spending a lot of time alone.
Her deep connection to nature brings her into ideal relationship with her surroundings: the Earth, her 'Mother'. She has learned to communicate with owls, river water, puma, the Earth Mother herself, on an intuitive level—without words—but often in pictures.
She gets a tingly feeling, tastes straw in her mouth, smells violets or rain, and knows that she is sensing a being nearby. She trusts her own inner voice, she listens to messages from the trees, a blade of grass, a bee. She has been bailed out of some tricky situations by listening to this 'voice'.
Now in her early thirties, she walks forward proclaiming that we should all stop right this minute and tune into what the Earth is—really—saying. Then we would have no hesitation in stopping oil drilling, copper mining, damming salmon rivers and seeding the atmosphere with manmade storms. The Earth has, after all, always supplied our needs, given us everything we have ever demanded. But she is getting restless, tired of giving, without replenishment or simple gratitude.
Mother Earth, too, is sentient. Kiesha agrees with McKenna that it is time to take better care of her, or she may not continue to be quite so tolerant.
Kiesha says:
'Never take anything without being given permission. We are suffering the consequences now of being planet-robbers.'
Her respect for the Earth Mother is much highlighted in her new book, 'Message for the Tribe of Many Colors', published last month by EarthMother Press.
Humanity going through sudden change, evolution speeding up at an unprecedented rate
Human beings are going through a pivotal shift that almost all life-forms go through, but there is something quite unique about us. We are evolving and changing at a supersonic pace that has never been seen before in the Cosmos. We human beings are going through an evolution of consciousness, making progressive leaps much faster than any life-form before. For this reason, we have caught the attention of other beings in our galaxy and in other galaxies. It seems that planet Earth is like a child in its spiritual evolution compared to other places, and yet we are growing and making giant leaps in consciousness, because of our special placement in the solar system. Great bursts of energy from our Sun are helping to speed us up and raise our consciousness at a pace never seen before.
Kiesha Crowther, Message for the Tribe of Many Colors
She has learned that, however much negative people and outmoded opinions influence and put pressure on us, we can derive strength from this ultimate test to our spiritual will and reach through the hardest adversity to communion with our Higher Self, our Oversoul.
She believes that we can endure almost any hardship for just a little while longer until the love train starts to kick in. But it's up to us to remember the goal, however hard our present circumstances. The movement is happening. People are beginning to live from the heart, rather than from the head. We are beginning to think as One. We are Ascending…
…But, things are falling apart. What do I do?
Kiesha now travels extensively, sharing her earth wisdom and assisting in placing specially-energized crystals in the earth at strategic points. This, she says, will help stabilize the earth grid which is also sensitive to negative manipulation by those who take what they please. She has often been asked what to do when things go crazy. Her suggestions for the End Times:
...plant a garden, know how to grow your own food, find a place to nurture your family...
Stay in the heart:
Secure loved ones & families;
Collect seeds and plant a garden;
Learn how to live sustainably, find out how to access clean water and make use of clean energy;
Instead of spending money on trinkets, buy things you need for your family; essentials which will support you and that will sustain your life through difficult times ahead.
'Get a home, buy land if possible, grow food, store seeds, know how to grow a garden, find clean water—these are the things we should be doing to support our lives right now'
Kiesha Crowther
Turn off History
'The twentyfirst century is the shudder that announces the approaching cataracts of time over which our species and the destiny of this planet is about to be swept.'
Coming from vastly different backgrounds, Kiesha from poverty, McKenna from the intellectual stratosphere, it is profound how much both visionaries share: in fact it's fairly apocalyptic. Both are convinced that "History is ending": that our generation is witnessing the revelation and purpose of the cosmos. McKenna said "History is the shock wave of the eschaton". Crowther says "We are the strongest of the strong", the "ones we have been waiting for", and that we have chosen to be here to witness and help birth this time.
What this means for those of us living through this transition into hyperspace/love dimension, is that we are privileged to watch the greatest release of compressed change since the birth of the Universe. But we are also witnessing a coming together of vast groups with a common bond. It is vital we see the big picture and do not get caught up in the "old" news tactic of focusing on the negative.
The light of the Universe is made up of photons; there is no anti-particle. It's all light
The Big Picture is what is happening; differences are being laid aside. It is particularly apt that new initiatives are being led by the young. It is a long time since such freedom was witnessed and encouraged… the Boomer generation of the 'sixties is now old and grey. But their ethos is still alive and well in the minds of the OWS youngsters. The message is not altogether alien. Flower power and 'living in the heart' have a similar ring.
The new physics is a physics of light. Light is composed of photons, which have no antiparticle. This means there is no dualism in the world of light.
The shockwave has huge reverberations, however.
OWS (and other) Occupy movements are taking hold; showing us a little of the wiring underneath the Motherboard. We are getting a glimpse of how the Universe works in demonstrating a coalescing of minds, bodies in the streets, consciousness in computerdom.
EarthDance founded in 1997, held Guinness book of Records 'greatest world drumming event 2004' in NoCAL; now a worldwide equinox event
"House music and rave culture and rhythms are rediscovery of the art of natural magic with sound; and percussive sound can change neurological states. Large groups of people getting together in the presence of this kind of music are bonding in a telepathic community strong enough to carry the vision out into mainstream society. I think the youth culture that is emerging actually sums up Western civilization and points us in an entirely different direction.
We arrive in the third millennium, in the middle of an archaic revival—a revival of these physiologically-empowering rhythm signatures—a new art emerges, a new social vision, a new relationship to nature, to feminism, to ego."
Terence McKenna Alien Dreamtime
Paradoxically, computer networks display a deeply feminizing influence that society needs to change its mind. (Kiesha suggests we 'change the channel'). In the hardware, the unconscious is actually being created; and, as we are learning pretty quickly, consciousness equals reality.
Both shamans would agree that the Unconscious, the deep feminine, is that part of us which we have neglected. It is time for its magic to reemerge.
The real secret of magic is a world made of words, and if you know the words the world is made of, you can make of it whatever you wish
Tonight the Moon is full in Aries – usually a great influence for action. If Calleman's accelerated date is correct, the pinnacle of the pyramid, the beginning of the New is only two weeks away. He is not alone in his calculation. October 28th 2011 is 13 Ahau in the Tzolkin, named 'Return of the Ancestors' in Mayan prophecy: a signal, perhaps, that we should all step up to the plate and serve if we are to become friends with the Earth again. Because she feels mistreated, she may have a few more storms to blow before she believes us.
Wildlife-friendly East Field median strip was featured in 3 crop circles this summer; all sited along the line leading the eye to Bronze Age Knap Hill amphitheatre (N)
The Human race is already transforming. Are we prepared for consciousness evolution at a speed never before contemplated? We have to take our future in our own hands: help the needy, share the food, plant trees, and accept our responsibility for being here at this special time on this unique planet.
A simple crop circle sequence appeared in October (top and left) in East Field—out of season—the third occurrence this year along the same line-of-sight. Just like the Java crop circles in January and the Mexican crop circles at spring equinox, they highlighted the farming community's care for wildlife, reverting to cultivation by traditional natural methods of nurturing the earth—no huge machinery—just a strip of carefully-planted food.
Famous East Field formation, double-bladed axe, vesica piscis dimensional formation of July 2010. Surrounding archaic script has yet to be interpreted
East Field is in croppie language a byword for the **hub**. The first of the nouvelle vague circles appeared here in the 1990s. Here is where light orbs are sighted most frequently, electrical equipment fails, ultrasound shrieks, the water table suddenly goes dry, and people experience spontaneous healing.
East Field, like Etchilhampton, is run by the good guys: farmers who add a little extra for wildlife. In Kiesha's terminology, the Earth Mother is speaking in dulcet tones, approving where we show care for her; in McKenna-ese, the Other is stepping through the time fabric and leaving us his/her calling card. Either way, crop circles of 2011 have highlighted farms where earth nurture has taken precedence over earth rape. Perhaps we are beginning to please the Mother, after all.
We have to make a start somewhere. The youth in Wall Street, London, other cities of the world, have shown their card. We countrydwellers have to show our hand, too. We can plant our gardens, show respect and gratitude for our food, decline to shop for unnurtured sources of supply. Take care of the soil and the water. Go off the grid. If the OWS youth can show us the way, lend us their strong bodies, we oldies can stand on their shoulders and reach for the sky.
The Universe is, after all stretching down her hand to help us up.

If you are renting, we have a tenants insurance package for you. Our special Mobile Home Renters Packages are competitively priced, and come with a wide range of options for each and every situation. Tenants insurance is designed for individuals who rent their residence. This policy packages the following insurance coverages: Property damage to your Contents; Additional Living Expenses (extra expense for Rent, Food, Utilities, etc.) if you cannot live in your apartment because of insured damage; and your Personal Liability.
Your lease probably includes a requirement that you carry a Tenants Package Insurance Policy. To verify that you are meeting this condition of your lease, your landlord may want to get a copy of the policy from you each year. There are four main sections to a tenants package policy, and they are each very important. Considering these policies policies can be purchased for a little as $15 per month, we feel they are one of the best deals going!
A Tenants Package Policy will cover loss or damage to your personal belongings for circumstances such as fire, theft, vandalism, and many types of water damage. Your landlord is not responsible to replace your personal belongings in the event of damage to the building – no matter how caused. The only way to recover financially for the loss or destruction of your personal property is with the Tenants Package Insurance Policy.
If you have an accident in your building, such as a smoking accident, cooking fire, or overflowing the bathtub causing water damage, you may be held legally and financially responsible for the damage this accident causes to the building. It is quite likely that in these examples, and several others, the insurance company who covers this building for your landlord will sue you to recover the costs for these damages. The Tenants Legal Liability section of your Tenants Package Insurance Policy will protect you in these instances, defend your interests, and pay if you're found ultimately responsible for the damage.
The law can hold you personally responsible for damage or injury you accidentally cause to other people or their property. This could be a visitor slipping on your wet kitchen floor, or accidentally breaking a friends property while helping them move. The personal Liability section of your Tenants package Insurance Policy will defend you against any financial actions and pay the injured party should you ultimately be found responsible.
We've all read the newspaper articles about tenants finding themselves homeless after a large fire or major storm damaging their apartment building. If these individuals carried a Tenants Package Policy, they would have been able to collect money from their insurance company to help pay for a place to stay while their building is being repaired, or until they found a new place to live.

University's chief financial officer will retire this summer
by Larry Dendy
Hank Huckaby
Henry M. (Hank) Huckaby, the university's senior vice president for finance and administration, has announced that he will retire June 30, concluding nearly 40 years of public service to the state of Georgia.
Huckaby assumed his post as the university's chief financial officer in 2000 after serving three years as director of UGA's Carl Vinson Institute of Government. Previously he worked 22 years in state government including five years as the state's top budgeting and finance officer.
"Working at the University of Georgia has been as challenging and difficult as any job I've ever held, but it's also been one of the most rewarding," Huckaby says. "I can't imagine a better place to finish my career."
The senior vice president for finance and administration oversees all business operations at the university including the departments for budget, accounting services, banking and investments and human resources. The senior vice president is also responsible for the physical plant, auxiliary and administrative services, facility planning and environmental safety.
UGA President Michael F. Adams says a search committee will be appointed and a national search conducted for a successor to Huckaby with the goal of having the new person in place by July 1.
"Working with Hank Huckaby over the past several years has been rewarding both professionally and personally, and I count it a privilege to have had the opportunity," Adams says. "Hank's depth of professional experience and personal character has enabled him to make invaluable contributions to the advancement of the University of Georgia. I will continue to rely on him as a professional resource and personal friend."
Before joining UGA, Huckaby was director of the Office of Planning and Budget, the highest financial position in state government, under Gov. Zell Miller. He also served as executive director of the Georgia Housing and Finance Authority under Gov. Joe Frank Harris and as the commissioner of the Georgia Department of Community Affairs under Gov. George Busbee.
In November 2002, Gov.-elect Sonny Perdue appointed Huckaby to his transition team and subsequently as interim chief financial officer. He served in this dual role for eight months before returning full time to his duties at UGA.
Huckaby says implementing technological advances to improve administrative operations at UGA is a major accomplishment of his tenure as senior vice president.
"Many of our procedures in such areas as student accounts, business affairs and human resources were paper-bound," he says. "We've used new technology to make them more user-friendly and more efficient."
Looking ahead, Huckaby believes declining government support for higher education is here to stay, and making up those shortfalls will be one of the biggest challenges colleges and universities face in the future.

The company earned 38.8 billion rubles and is ready to pay half of it to the shareholders; the last time Aeroflot paid dividends was in 2013.
Since 2013 Aeroflot has not paid dividends: the company had losses in 2014 to 17.1 billion rubles, in 2015 - 6.5 billion rubles. Last year the company received a record net profit of 38.8 billion rubles. Now it is ready to pay not 25%, as recorded in the dividend policy of the company, but 50% from it if required by the state (which owns 51.2% of the airline company), as follows from the words of Deputy General Director of Commerce and Finance Shamil Kurmashov. He stated this at a conference call with investors, reports Interfax.
The Board of Directors of the airline company must approve the recommendation to the AGM on the payment of dividends in May. Will the Federal Property Management Agency give the directors a directive vote for payment of 50% of net profit is unknown; the ministry spokesman did not respond to questions of Vedomosti. If this decision is made, the investors will get record 19.4 billion rubles, of which the state will account for 9.9 billion rubles. If the company gives 50% of net profit to the shareholders, the dividend yield of Aeroflot will be 10%, says analyst Konstantin Yuminov at Raiffeisenbank.
EBITDA of Aeroflot was slightly lower than expected, 78 bln rubles, an increase of 32.9%, the analyst of Aton Mikhail Ganelin noted. The EBITDA margin was 15.7%, as follows from the report. Total debt decreased by 38.4% to 143.1 billion rubles, and the debt burden to 1.4 EBITDA. Aeroflot failed in Q4 of 2016: EBITDA amounted to only 844 million rubles, while in 2015 the company earned 10.8 billion rubles..
"2016 was the best in the history of Aeroflot," VTB Bank analysts write. Aeroflot has won more than anyone else from the withdrawal of Transaero from the market, recalls Yuminov. The company has consolidated its part of the fleet, it has received the most promising external routes.
2017 can also be a good year for Aeroflot: the purchasing power is restored (reduced inflation, the ruble strengthened, etc). In this regard, the transportation on domestic and foreign lines might increase, said Yuminov.
The company itself predicts that in 2017 the level of loading of seats will decrease by 1.5 percentage points, and the number of passengers will increase by 12-14%, the company said in a presentation to investors. In 2016 the transportation volume rose by 10.3% to 43.4 million passengers. On domestic lines the figure reached 25.15 million people (+ 7.6%), on the international ones - 18.29 million people (14.1%).
As soon as in January (to January 2016) the percentage of passengers on international flights increased by 5.6 pp to 72.7%, and on domestic flights decreased by 2.3 pp to 76.1%, as follows from the operating results of the company.
The free float is 41% of the total number of ordinary shares of the company. On Thursday, shares of Aeroflot fell by 1.89% to 193.2 billion rubles., While the MICEX index fell by only 0.53%.
In the past year, Aeroflot shares brought to their owners 172% per annum, reminds Yuminov. And with the beginning of the year the company increased by 13.4% to 59.4 billion rubles, so that the fall of 1.9% is a correction, some investors are simply taking profits. "Buy on expectations, sell on the fact," said one of the traders.

Founder of Miles Brown Asset Management.
The oldest of three children, I was raised by a single mother with the collective support of my aunt and grandmother. We lived paycheck to paycheck growing up, and watching my family struggle with money proved a seminal experience for me. They did not have access to a financial expert, and suffered unnecessarily as a result. I knew that when I grew up I wanted to help ensure that they, and other people, didn't have to face these difficulties alone any more. I was determined to help.
We were raised in an atmosphere of love, religion, and compassion. Our close bond left me with a special appreciation and respect for women who can bear down, hustle and make a life for themselves and those around them. It energizes me and drives me to want to do my absolute best for them.
My mother instilled in us the need to finish school, get a job and be good people. It's why I can say with great confidence that I am likely among the most honest and principled people you could entrust with your wealth.
That's also why I named my firm after my son. Because I know that I would never do anything to tarnish his name. He, and the traits instilled in me since childhood, drives me to serve in the most honorable way I can.
In addition to my work here at Miles Brown, I am deeply committed to serving my community. I've served as an assistant basketball coach for a local high school for the past five years. In my free time I enjoy playing tennis, golf and basketball with my son, Dominic, and taking time to slow down and see the world through the eyes of my newborn daughter, Whitney.

Sobo to Lead Sales and Marketing for Deep Impact Custom Boats and Blackwater Boats
Created: January 30, 2017
Following seven years with Black Thunder Powerboats and a remarkable 18 years with Nor-Tech Hi-Performance Boats, veteran performance boat salesman Terry Sobo is departing the North Fort Myers, Fla., company for the Deep Impact Custom Boats and Blackwater Boats brands.

Sobo, who with Nor-Tech owners and founders Trond Schou and Nils Johnsen led the company into the performance center console era starting in 2009 with the 390 Sport CC, is excited to now be running sales and marketing for Deep Impact and Blackwater.
"Although it was an emotional decision, I have been offered a chance to take the helm of a smaller organization that produces two separate brands and try to grow them into something more than what they currently represent in the market," Sobo said. "My heart will always be with Nor-Tech, but this is an opportunity of a lifetime and I felt that I could not let it pass."
Sobo said the vision for future growth—not to mention the chance to work with a dear friend of his, Mark Fischer—seemed to make the most sense at this point in his career.
"Over the past 18 years, I've seen the lows and I've seen the highs, and right now the company is higher than it has ever been and it's in great hands," Sobo explained.
Fischer, the owner of OffleaseOnly and Boats Direct USA who purchased the Deep Impact assets in 2014, believes Sobo is going to be a perfect fit.
"As many people know, Terry and I have been friends for at least 15 years—I bought my first Nor-Tech back in 2003," Fischer said. "But we're not just making this move because we're friends. This is a great opportunity for Terry to move forward in his career, and I think we found the perfect person to take the Blackwater and Deep Impact brands to the next level."
According to Fischer, Sobo has his work cut out for him, especially with the Miami International Boat Show right around the corner.
"We are going to be debuting our all-new Blackwater 43 with quad Mercury Verado 350 engines in Miami," Fischer said. "I think people are going to be very impressed with it as well as the Deep Impact 399 Sport we reintroduced last year. We welcome everyone to come see the boats and our latest addition—Terry Sobo—at the show."

All smartphone users have seen them – the annoying ads that clutter the apps we use. But with most smartphone ads being ignored by users, the ROI for advertisers isn't great. When apps aren't as interesting as they once were to the user, they stop using it altogether, then the ads are not being seen at all. ROI goes from not great to none existent.
In an effort to solve this predicament and tap into unclaimed advertising territory, a company called sellAring® has developed a solution to those often ignored smartphone app ads.
The user downloads an app the Agency developed – the Agency lists the app as "free", but only if the user agrees to sellAring terms and conditions. These terms and conditions: listening to an occasional ad, placed by sellAiring, in the short time between the moment a call is placed and the person on the other end answers. Instead of the traditional ringback tone, a targeted ad is delivered. Users are paying attention to the call — Is it going through? Is it going to be busy? 'Gosh, it's taking awhile for Jane to answer my call' — thus paying attention to the ad.
Those short seconds we wait for a call to be answered don't seem very important individually, but think about how much time we waste waiting on calls to be answered when you put it all together. According to calculations done by sellAring's inventor, Zohar Halachmi, it's about 30 hours a year! Those wasted, unclaimed hours become precious moments for advertisers to reach their target audience.
The best part for advertisers? Even if the smartphone user stops using the free app they downloaded, sellAiring continues to deliver ads when calls are made. And for the developers, the app is launched as it was originally designed — no banner ads to clutter the hard work that has been put into it.

BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) — The principal of a Boca Raton-area elementary school is being criticized for what is considered "over the top" security measures at a recent outdoor fall parade. The elementary school invited parents in two groups — those of students in kindergarten through 2nd grade, and then 3rd through 5th, to view their students march around a car loop wearing costumes.
The two parades were separated by 10 minutes.
Parents were required to sign a piece of paper and wear a pre-printed Avery label reading "fall parade." No parent ever came into the school's interior. The signatures were never checked against a master list.
In an example of what many parents say is school security gone too far, parents with students in both groups were forced to leave the car loop upon completion of the first parade, move from one side of a chain link fence to the other side, then come back in five minutes later — all while staffers and a uniformed school police officer remained inside the area talking. BocaNewsNow.com has photographs of the school police officer, the staff members, and the chain link fence which has minimal security value. We are withholding these photos to not publicly identify the school.
Parents contacting BocaNewsNow.com universally say post-Parkland security is great, but faux-security is insulting to parents. Many parents made an airport analogy, saying the "clear the area" approach is what would be expected in an airport after a security checkpoint failure, not in an elementary school's driveway after 6-year-old children walk in a parade.
We are not identifying parent names as to not identify the specific school.
The statement raises questions about the effectiveness of the school's uniformed police officer. We are investigating.

Blain|Southern To Close Worldwide Operation
12 February 2020 / Art Categories Art Market, Art News, News / Art Tags Blain Southern, closes, Harry Blain and Maria Sheremeteva / / / / /
After a tumultuous six months, Blain|Southern has decided to call it a day. As a gallery, they will be missed by many, however, according to Artlyst sources, they have left a lot of their staff and artists unpaid and in a difficult state of affairs.
Statement from Harry Blain, Founding Director, Blain|Southern
'I have reached the difficult decision to close Blain| Southern's galleries in London, Berlin and New York.
Ten years ago, together with Graham Southern, I established Blain|Southern. Throughout our partnership, it was an honour to collaborate with so many talented artists and build an exhibition programme that reflected and celebrated the breadth of contemporary art practice worldwide. Alongside the programme, the gallery facilitated new commissions, public loans and museum exhibitions for our artists while supporting their broader activities.
Despite the support of dedicated gallery staff, I deeply regret that I have been unable to secure the gallery's future long term. I want to thank all the artists, collectors, institutions, museums, staff and everyone who has worked with the gallery over the last decade.'
The gallery, one of London's best, had an undercurrent of trouble since the Autumn when the gallery's co-founder Graham Southern decided to leave the long term partnership. Director Sir Charles Saumarez Smith the former Director of the National Gallery soon followed. The exit of their excellent head of press Toby Kidd was also a surprise. The gallery had been operating with a skeleton staff for months, but it was apparent that things were falling apart when the highly regarded director of Exhibitions Craig Burnett left suddenly before Christmas. A parade of artists marched out the door, including Sean Scully, The Chapman Brothers, and Mat Collishaw, who all used Instagram to quit.
Companies House records show that primary sales improved in 2018 when the company last filed. The filings for 2018 show a turnover of £53,214,693 and a profit for the financial year of £2,149963. Primary sales as a percentage of turnover were 60% in 2018 (£31.8m), 49% in 2017 (£23.7m) and 48% (£13.8m) in 2016. However profits after tax were down in 2018: £2.1m compared with £2.8m in 2017, a marked improvement in 2016, which saw profits of just £876,000.
Artlyst was told by an industry insider that the problems came to a head when the Irish/American artist Sean Scully asked to be paid for work sold by the gallery amounting to £4m. The gallery was unable to pay, and this led to a legal notice being served. Apparently, this was just the tip of the iceberg. The gallery clearly overstretched themselves with the opening of an excessive New York Gallery space in the former Cheim and Read premises. The gallery was said to be $13m in the red before launch. Reading between the lines, HSBC the gallery's bank must have called in outstanding loans that the business took out in July 2019.
Artlyst was also personally affected by the closure of Blain|Southern. The gallery was to host the award-giving ceremony for their Art To Poetry Competition but this looked less and less viable as the gallery wound down their programme. We are very pleased to announce that the Artist Sean Scully has stepped in with a generous donation as well as arranging an introduction to Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac who will stage the event in their gallery in May.
Blain|Southern was not around to comment.

The year 2017 marks the 150th anniversary of the publication of Dr. Armand Trousseau's Lectures on Clinical Medicine, the English translation of Clinique médicale de l'Hôtel-Dieu de Paris (1861), a compilation of lectures Trousseau delivered as physician in chief at Hôtel-Dieu de Paris hospital (1). In lecture 95, "Phlegmasia Alba Dolens" (venous thromboembolic disease), Trousseau discussed the relationship between unexplained venous thromboembolism (VTE) and the subsequent diagnosis of cancer and presented several cases to illustrate this relationship. He opined, "I have long been struck with the frequency with which cancerous patients are affected with painful edema in the superior or inferior extremities" (1), and so impressed was he by this relationship that he regarded the presence of unprovoked VTE as a sign of cancer. He never commented on the "relative frequency" (prevalence) of VTE preceding a cancer diagnosis but taught that it was frequent, and so the eponym Trousseau syndrome or Trousseau sign of malignancy—recurrent or migratory unprovoked thrombophlebitis as a precursor to the diagnosis of cancer—was minted (2). Therefore, during the past century and a half, clinicians have asked themselves the following questions: Should a patient with unprovoked VTE be evaluated for occult cancer? Is a patient's outcome affected by whether cancer is found? Was Trousseau correct in his observation?

Eagle Ford Shale
The Eagle Ford shale is a rock formation that is found several thousand feet below the surface in South Texas. It has long been thought of as a "source rock" for oil and gas reservoirs but recent technological developments have shown that it can also be the producing formation; it can produce oil and gas by using horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing.
In oil and gas terms, a shale play is an area of land that oil and gas companies think might be productive for oil and/or gas. The Eagle Ford shale stretches from Laredo, on the Mexico border, to the northeast. At this time, to Gonzales county. Time will tell if it continues further to the northeast.
The blue ocean background of this website is indicative of how the Eagle Ford shale got here. Shales are deposited in a quiet, deep-water ocean basin. Over millions of years, marine life sinks to the bottom of the ocean and is buried by sediment. Over hundreds of millions of years, these sediments sink and the organic content becomes "cooked" or "cracked." In the updip (shallower depths below the land's surface) portions of South Texas, the organic content has not been cooked as much because it is not as hot as the Eagle Ford shale at deeper depths (downdip). Thus, oil and natural gas condensate is present updip and dry natural gas is present downdip, in the southern reaches. (The Eagle Ford shale dips to the south-southeast, toward the Gulf of Mexico.)
As for an economic impact, what the Eagle Ford shale means for mineral rights owners in South Texas is a bonanza.
This shale play encompasses several million acres and most of the play has already been leased by oil and gas companies. If a mineral owner has already leased, he will enjoy a royalty payment if oil and/or gas is found by drilling on his land or on the "unit" that his mineral rights lie within. But, again, this shale play is huge -- over 200 miles long -- and it will be decades before some areas are developed.
Eagle Ford Shale Oil And Gas Lease
As stated, most of this shale play is leased for oil and gas but there are still some open leases. Typically, mineral rights owners are not pro-active in seeking an oil and gas lease; the oil and gas business does not operate that way. Typcially, mineral rights owners simply wait for a company to approach them. But, with this play, currently in its own mini-boom, mineral rights owners who are seeking a company to lease their land might do some good with oil and gas consultants who have connections to leasing companies. (See Eagle Ford Shale oil and gas lease company.)
Sell Mineral Rights?
There is another angle for a mineral rights owners in the Eagle Ford shale to capitalize on the boom, even if his land is already leased; he can sell mineral rights and he doesn't have to sell all. He can sell 3/4 or 1/2 and enjoy a big cash payday and retain the other part to gamble on. Of course, it is well known that the oil and gas business is a very "here today and gone tomorrow" business sometimes. Meaning that one day, it's boom times and tomorrow, it can be a bust. So, nothing is certain. But, cash money is certain and selling a portion is a viable option for some. It's worth considering -- why sell mineral rights. And if a mineral rights owner decides that it's worth getting serious about, here is an article on how to sell mineral rights.
Selling mineral rights versus leasing mineral rights can also put more money in a mineral rights owner's pocket. A lease bonus, "signing bonus" is taxed as regular income, so, if it's a significant amount of money, the Federal tax, alone, is 36%. On the other hand, a sale of mineral rights (for someone who has owned it for over a year) is a capital gains and the Federal tax is only 15%. Which means that the seller ends up with far more cash. First, a sale brings more money than a lease and second, as just illustrated, the tax savings are significant.
Those who work in the oil and gas industry know how fickle it can be. It's described as a roller coaster ride and that's a good description for the up and down, boom/bust nature. It's maddening to those who depend on it and in boom times, it's maddening for mineral rights owners who get bit by waiting too long to take a good offer, whether it's leasing or selling mineral rights.

Perfect album for falling asleep. The mix with relaxing drones and field recordings of rain is really hypnotic (Part 1). Really good for the insomniacs like me.
ASCs ambient albums are the best of the best....instead of an album feel of individual tracks, this is ASC doing an ambient mixtape, and I absolutely love it!
