""Son of god Hangman's pawn. Control our lives With fairytales and shallow lies. You say we'll burn in hell. Spiteful preacher I know you well.

Top of the Dutch charts
Location | Mood | Date 25 November 2008
Franny and Lizzie
Hello from Amsterdam,
Having a hilarious time here at the official launch of The Age of Stupid (don't mention those other small preview screenings you may all have been at). We are the official Number 1 most watched film by the buyers at the market, out of the 450 films on sale here.
I was up against some climate sceptics in a live televised debate last night. Happened to bump into (on the Rainbow Warrior, see below) Cindy Baxter who runs Exxon Secrets and has researched climate sceptics for 20 years, so she joined me on the panel as my secret weapon. The sceptics were asked what they thought of Age of Stupid and they said that it was depressing and didn't really count as a documentary anyway as it has an actor and lots of animation. Then they asked what I thought of theirs and I replied that in 50 years time they will be in the International Environment Criminal Court - along with all the others who have deliberately scuppered action - charged with the deaths of hundreds of millions of people. That caused a bit of a riot. Then someone dressed as a medieval peasant stormed the stage and shook the sceptics' hands saying "We are so happy here at the Flat Earth society that we have finally found some friends after 400 years in the wilderness". Cue riot part 2.
Had a great breakfast meeting with our sales agent this morning. She said "you're completely insane, but I like it" as we explained all our distribution plans (see below, in case you think we've been slacking. Please don't forward any of this, as they are just notes to ourselves, and some of it is notl 100% confirmed). Her parting shot was "I'm going to get you Sundance, don't worry". Still haven't heard from them, but now we are "the stars of the festival", according to the head programmer here, we have just seriously increased our chances of getting selected.
More thrilling stuff: met up with Greenpeace International (who are based here and happened to be having a party on the Rainbow Warrior - my second party there in a month, tough life- which is in town). They are petitioning the Dutch government about their coal/energy policy and asked if they could project Stupid on the wall of the building. That plan never works, as you can't hear the sound, so we upped the anti and they went off and applied to get it shown actually inside, to the politicians, and they seem to have managed that. So it's screening next week, in a gap in the programme, just before the big decision is made. And James Hansen (top US climate scientist) will be there giving expert evidence, so he may see it too, which would be such a thrill.
Best news of all: Lizzie's back. She's going to write to the list soon.
Got to run to another sold-out screening here at the festival, then train home tomorrow stopping in Brussels to meet Friends of the Earth International for an hour.
It's a tough life but someone has to do it
Franny (and Lizzie!)

- The Not Stupid action campaign will run alongside the US release, as in the UK release
- Already have tonnes of links to all the main campaign groups
- The film is very relevant to the US, as one of key characters is American and many of the arguments are US-centric
- Al Gore hasn't seen the film yet - we've been holding that back - but has supported other climate change films, so we expect him to fully support Age of Stupid
- Major celebrities are throwing themselves behind climate change inc Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Madonna etc.
"I hate this film. I felt as if I was watching all my own excuses for not doing anything about climate change being stripped away from me. And it's tender and funny and wise as well. Can I just pretend I never saw it?" William Nicholson, Oscar-nominated writer of Shadowlands and Gladiator
"The out and out winner this year was chosen for the sheer scale of its ambition and the verve of its realisation. On every level, The Age of Stupid is a powerful and unforgettable film that leaves you honour bound to force governments to take action"
Grierson Documentary Awards Jury
"I was nodding to myself all the way through, thinking "How can I reduce my flights?", "Can I install a wind turbine at home?". It is definitely going to change my life. It was so powerful and so moving I wanted it to go on for another hour." Gillian Anderson, actress
"The opening sequence is phenomenal. It's Spielberg, eat your heart out. And to pack that much information into a film that is exciting, moving and keeps you engaged all the way through is an extraordinary achievement." Pete Postlethwaite, actor
"Everyone keeps emailing me about Stupid and saying 'you MUST see this!' So thanks for letting me feel smug." Dr Scilla Elworthy, three-time Nobel Peace Prize Nominee
"This wonderful film is like a bucket of cold water. I hope it wakes people from their slumber and helps galvanise real pressure on politicians to come up with an effective deal at the Copenhagen climate change summit." Tony Juniper, former head of Friends of the Earth
"Fascinating. The message, never stated but constantly emerging, is that we all have our self-justifying myths. These myths prevent us from engaging with climate change." The Guardian
"Every single person in the country should be forcibly made to watch this film." Ken Livingstone, former Mayor of London

Homepage / MRU Student Interned at Emigre School in Sunny Brazil
MRU Student Interned at Emigre School in Sunny Brazil
Mykolas Romeris University (MRU) Communication Institute Master's Degree student Lina Matiukaitė recently returned from an internship in Sao Paulo, Brazil, She taught children of Lithuanian descent at the Lithuanian emigre school, "Vilnis."
The Communication and Creative Technologies student managed to spend time in sunny Brazil, when it was winter in Lithuania.
She was able to undertake the internship when she found an invitation in the Education Exchanges Fund programme and submitted an application to participate, which was later approved.
Matiukaitė could choose from a wide array of emigre schools located worldwide, but her desire was to spend time in Brazil, an exotic far-off country and also to see for herself Rio de Janeiro, the site of the famous Mardi Gras carnival.
"When I saw the Education Exchange Fund'sinvitation to participate and intern at the school, I decided on Brazil," she said. One of the factors was the friendly, warm letter from the School Director Rūta Meškauskienė, which she read.
The Fund allocated a scholarship and Matiukaite was on her way to Brazil.
Cultural differences were most surprising, but she adjusted quickly especially due to the emigre school's representatives, who welcomed her with open arms.
The weather was the first surprise, when I landed in Brazil, she said. It was so warm. The weather here is perfect. The sun forces a smile out of you.
She was warned about being careful in the streets and not to show that she is a foreigner. The crime rate in Brazil is high, so it is necessary to be on the alert. At first, this scares many arriving foreigners, but after a while it is no longer scary.
"It appears that everything in Brazil is magnified several times - smiles, food portions, plants, trees, and... bugs," she noted.
There are so many interesting, friendly people here who are willing to help and they continue to smile, despite that they see I don't understand their language.
PUPILS ATTEND "VILNIS" SCHOOL in SAO PAULO
Offspring of Lithuanian emigres attend the "Vilnis" school whose grandparents or great grandparents were Lithuanian. The students vary in age from 4 to 70 years old. Currently there are 31 pupils there.
When I started teaching Lithuanian, I understood what a unique and difficult language it truly is.
"It is most difficult for pupils to understand that words decline in Lithuanian. But all of the students are so motivated to study and learn," she said.
Aside from teaching at the School, Matiukaitė 3 days a week also interned at the Lithuanian Consulate Office in Sao Paulo.
"I had the opportunity to become more closely acquainted with consular activities. I work at the office and use my abilities in the area of diplomatic communication. This included work administering social networks in Lithuanian and Portuguese.
"I am happy that Brazil was not just a tourist destination stop for me. I had plenty of time to become more closely acquainted with the country and its culture. Brazil is an interesting country especially due to the fact that there are many Lithuanian emigres or their offspring who live here.
Despite the ongoing pandemic, Matiukaitė encourages others to take interest in student exchanges or internships abroad.
"Most important is not be afraid and to take interest in offered possibilities," she said.
When I was in Brazil, I discovered the warmth and sincerity of the people and their Lithuania. That was and is the most of value and something which I treasure and brought back with me, said Matiukaitė.

Sylvia and I are looking to begin crowd-funding, for our upcoming album, around Sylvia's Birthday (9/22/16).
…and those are just the things I can remember.
"Startled are they who view upon the Nova Gaia."
"Surprises of Higher Consciousness are observed in all hu-beings."
"Stellar connections are viewed and grasped."
"Meadows of Peace are sown."
This was sent to me by C.Y. (who's on this list) thank you.
The title of the following video is: "POPE FRANCIS to PROCLAIM LUCIFER as God of One World Religion on September 23 2016?".
According to this 12-minute video, the Pope will bring together the key religions of this world on September 23rd. He will then try to unite everyone into a single religion. That's the simplified explanation and, according to this video, facets of that movement begin on September 4th.
My comments: I don't typically Track religious Society stirrings but "IF" this information is real, it means the Cabal are about to pull their "religion card" out from their sleeve and THIS tells "me" we are close to "Disclosure" and the "Veil" being removed.
As you explain this to those around you, be sure everyone understands the difference between "religion" and "Spirituality".
"The clouds are gathering on the horizon and the winds of change are reaching gale force. Can you hear the rumblings of the earthquakes that are shaking the foundations of our individual and collective realities? We're seeing this both literally and figuratively."
"This is where the rubber meets the road, where we choose our path and our dimensional space. Are we going to be in 3D or in 5D, or in something else? Do we cross the 4D bridge that leads us into our personal promised land? Heaven on earth is a definite outcome but no one said it would happen with a whisper, it's more like a shout. As we close out this spiritual awakening cycle (a new one begins in September) we have to decide which side of the 4D bridge we're going to stand on and it doesn't matter what we choose but the choice does have to be made."
"We have to make our choice, and so does everyone else. They may not make the choice we think they will or should but we cannot do anything about that. They make the choice that is right for them, at this time. They can always change their mind later. It is not a one-time choice thing, the choice will come around again but next time it may not be in a very nice package or the timeline will be shorter, or the circumstances more challenging or painful."
"And the partners may have moved on. That's one thing we have to realize now, that as we expand our energy we either become a source of inspiration for others, or a source of fear. If they cannot envision themselves with that level of energy, they will run the other way. Then someone or something else will take their place. Tough times, I know, but the universe is just, it is not kind, and those who are willing to risk are rewarded; those who won't take the risk are not. Shine on, we are entering a big month now, and we need all of our light to shine brightly for this one."
PS 8-30-16 *Mandela, Financial, Parkes, Surrender?
The 24 Heart-shaped, Candle Holders arrived today. They look pretty good. Sylvia and I have still have to talk to the Print Shop about them and then it will be up to the local Candle Maker.
As I've said before, I really don't want to nit-pick every "possible" Mandela Effect "finding" but I heard about this particular issue last night and I wasn't going to include it but it's been on my mind ever since.
My parents and I went to "Niagra Falls" for vacation 1-year in the mid-60s. We were there for a week. We lived near Boston at the Time, so I know what that city and those Falls are called: "NIAGRA FALLS". Now, however, with the "Mandela Effect" or whatever is going on, that city and those Falls are called: "NIAGARA FALLS".
Not everything has changed from "Niagra" to "Niagara". I don't know if that means the "Master Program" (controlling the "Matrix") got stuck or got hacked.
This 10-minute video is of Simon Parkes, Draco family member and former illuminati member. He explains the false flag which the Cabal are "trying" to perform in Germany. They seem to be desperate to start another war.
""Final Surrender" - Tues. PM RTC Intel w/ Fisher, Awaken"
"The "cabal" has entered into their second day of what seems to be a SERIOUS discussion over their final surrender position. IF they agree to the terms today/tonight, they will be granted amnesty or a limited form of amnesty, depending on their crimes."
"IF they do enter into an agreement, the numbers may be released tonight. If there is no surrender, if they reject the amnesty offered, then all bad acts, crimes and disloyalties will be fully disclosed, ie, the names of all involved and to what degree they were involved will be made public. In that scenario, the numbers will be released sometime tomorrow, ie, Wednesday, at any time and without any fanfare"
"Woww -- fantastic news Fisher & Awaken! Thank you for sharing with us!"
"Thanks Fisher and Awaken, Sounds like they mean business.. Fisher once this is made public will Hillary and Trump step down? Or does the saga continue Thanks so much"
"does not matter to the rv/gcr, so I will leave it alone"
"Woo hoo. Thanks for intel. Final countdown. https://youtu.be/9jK-NcRmVcw"
"Only Abbot Downing will be redeeming the Zim. The other banks have been given the opportunity to redeem sovereign rates on all other currencies."
"Brazilian President is double agent and tried to stop the Olympics for the cabal, she has been impeached behind the scenes. Galactic Federation will be taking over if all else fails on Sept.1"
"If they do not except amnesty, RV will happen tonight, and Mass arrest will start on Thursday Sept 1st. Everything has to be done before G-20. Obama will be flying out of the country for 2 weeks to 'appear' to sign the Paris agreement (for public view i.e - NESARA/GESARA). Behind the scenes the Paris agreement is already complete."
"The Pope's signing of the release of the Golden Jubilee comes to an end on July 31, 2016, which marks the end of amnesty agreement for complete surrender of the cabal. If cabal excepts amnesty today/tonight - RV will happen tomorrow."
"WF Attorneys have had 800#'s for quite some time and are sitting on them. Attorneys, Paymasters, Controllers of Exchange Centers, Abbott Downing, have all been sequestered/ on lock-down since 11 am on Sunday. Lock down ends on Wednesday August 31st at noon. RV will start at that time."
My comments: As I said… "IF" that information is real then it shows that at least one facet of the LightWorkers have FINALLY had enough of the Cabal's tricks. The above sounds like the "good guys" are saying "surrender or we'll expose all your secrets. No "deals". No "delays". Just PICK ONE!".
This almost sounds too good to be true. So the only way we'll know for certain is to simply wait until September 1st and see what happens.
"The German government has made a decisive break with the Khazarian mafia and has ordered its citizens to stockpile 10 days worth of emergency food supplies in preparation for a war of independence, according to both CIA and MI6 sources. In addition, the German government is mobilizing 600,000 militia members in preparation for this war, the sources say. The trigger for this mobilization was a request by the Khazarian controlled US government for Germany to accept a massive false flag attack on its territory as an excuse for totalitarian Khazarian rule. The Germans have decided to refuse this request and are instead allying themselves with the Russians and effectively joining the UK and Turkey in a Western led move against the Khazarian controlled American government, the sources agree. This information can be confirmed in a series of German government statements seen in the corporate media."
"The German move is just the opening salvo of what is expected to be a decisive campaign to permanently end Khazarian control of the West and its remaining slave states. Expect similar moves in many countries as the autumn offensive against the final Khazarian mafia strongholds goes into full gear. As the snowball effect continues, keep your eyes on France, Japan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Brazil among other places over the coming months."
"The situation has become such that Jacob de Rothschild has warned that the system of central banks his family was instrumental in creating was headed for systems failure."
"In the Middle East, the Pentagon is keeping to its deal with the Russians to divide their regions of influence along the Euphrates river with the Russians getting what is West of it while the Americans get what is East of it. The Turks are also now going along with this."
"The fighting now going on in the region is against mercenary armies working for oil companies still controlled by the Clinton/Bush/Rockefeller mafia. The Israelis have also figured this out and have invited the Russians in to try to help them find peace with their neighbours. This will mean they will have to give up their Messianic delusions about ruling the world from Jerusalem and accept a fair deal with the Palestinians and others. They no longer have a super power to manipulate into fighting for them and so must learn to be humble."
According to this long article, the "Republic of the United States" is in place, the interim Leaders are ready to step-in and the new Treasury Notes are about to be disbursed. The Dates of September 1st and September 5th were mentioned, for exchanging the new paper money with our current, worthless, Cabal, funny-money.
This article has far too many "Presentation Points" for me to "excerpt" here. So be sure to visit the following web page and read them for yourself.
It's either my own busy mind needing something to do or Sylvia has found a way to keep me busy while we wait for the "crowd-funding" phase of our album to begin.
For about 2-weeks now, I've been thinking more and more about finding a way to create videos for the songs on this album. I even spoke with an employee at work who's involved with the local Theatre. We learned that the prices for renting a physical, local space and hiring Actors is not as far "out there" as we would have thought.
Then I remembered that we bought a software bundle several months ago for $15. Of the programs we would want to use, their standard cost is over $100 each.
So I installed "Poser Debut" (by Smith Micro), to see if I could get a female Character to walk. I did manage to test her in front of a Green Screen and walking on a layer above a test video. So we knew it was doable but to get into the details that we need, that program kept crashing and the Interface is very non-Intuitive. Their Tech Support couldn't figure out the problem.
So we looked into another similar program called: "Daz Studio Pro" (by Daz3D.com). It's free. So we downloaded it. The Interface is much easier to work with and I did manage to put a female Character together, including a walking action, but when I started working on the background, the floor, walls and other Props, I couldn't get it to do what I wanted.
I'm not new to 3D Modeling. I've been using different programs since the mid 80s. So we decided to look into my favorite 3D program, "Carrara". The version we have, version 5, wouldn't even Install because our Operating System is way beyond this very old program.
The latest version, Carrara 8.5 Pro, sells for $285 but, with a $24, 3-Month membership, we could get it for $69.50 (including that membership). I was concerned about buying "1 more thing" which might not work for creating a female Character but Sylvia reminded me that I was going to use that program in our upcoming multi-media album series anyway. So why not buy it now. So we did.
The Specs show that it takes up 600MB (megabytes) of hard drive space but during its 4-HOURS of download Time, I quickly became concerned that it was going to fill-up and crash my Mac's Startup Drive.
Sylvia and I have been involved with the Apple ][ and Macintosh since 1981 and yesterday was the 1st Time we've ever seen the Operating System display the message: "Your Startup Disk is getting full".
The finished download left my hard drive with about 900MB of free space. This is not good. So now I can't really use that new software until we buy another hard drive. I didn't want us to buy anything more for this computer right now because we really need to buy a new iMac as soon as we can afford it. So Sylvia and I talked about this and she reminded me to "be here Now"… Right now, you need more storage space. So buy the Drive now."
We'll be going to Best Buy after work tomorrow (Monday) to see if they have the SSD (Solid State Disk) that we want, in stock.
I did manage to transfer some files to another drive. So I now have less than 4.5GB free on my Startup Drive. This is still not good.
As I've mentioned many times… Sylvia and I are "Musicians". We just want to "Make Music"! Even though I've been a Macintosh Software Technician for many years, and enjoy getting involved with the inner-workings of computers, when it's Time to create something, I just want to it to happen the way it's been designed to happen.
I think I found the where the "musty" smell has been coming from, when I'm near our bedroom. I found the start of more, what looks to be small, white spots of mold, on some of Sylvia's clothes in our closet.
Although I can wash her clothes, I don't know how to remove that layer from her shoes — especially her Indian moccasins.
I've told Sylvia almost 281-weeks ago, that my feeling is… she was only supposed to be gone about 2-weeks of "my" Time.
I've felt this strongly at that Time and still do.
Even though my "sense" is that Sylvia's Time moves much slower than mine, somehow she would be able to accomplish quite a bit during those 2-weeks of "my" Time. Maybe it's a 4th Dimensional unfolding of Time — to have only 2-weeks of "my" Time pass while Sylvia experiences many Months or longer. Within that same thought, I realize that Sylvia's Time moves much "slower" than mine. I've mentioned before that 1-Day of her Time equals about 3-Months of mine.
Humanity won't know the real answers to this puzzle until the "Veil" is removed.
I don't know if the "Veil being removed" energies have intensified recently or if I'm more in-touch with the "I've been here FAR TOO LONG without My Sylvia being "physically" here with me but, lately, I'm really feeling the pressure of being without her. On some days, that energy is "crushing".
The irony (I guess that's the right emotional descriptor) is, with the LightWorkers having more and more control over this Dimension and the Cabal having less and less resources to carry-out their negative plans, the General Public has been experiencing less and less of those Cabal false flags.
So "IF" that's true, then there's a LOT happening behind-the-scenes but since the General Public can't "see" or "know" about them, Humanity simply sees "business as usual" signs throughout their daily routines.
So I'm now telling the Cabal to "Put up or shut up"… Your Time has long been up. So if you have ANYTHING planned for the Earth or Humanity, you'd better flip all those switches and push all those buttons because Humanity is now fading your energies into the shaded-folds of our collective mind. This means you'll be "forgotten" and "they never even existed" long before you're sent to the Galactic Central Sun for repurposing.
So if you're going to leave an impression on Humanity, you'll need to do it NOW and do it BIG. Personally, "I" think you're all a bunch of losers and cowards. Think about it. You can't do ANYTHING without a pre-programmed military or easy-to-use exotic technology… and if you truly believe your actions are actually HELPING Humanity and this planet, then YOU have been "drinking the cool-aid" from YOUR masters.
> Stop the game and get off the ride… Halt your plans and turn yourselves in. The sooner you do this, the quicker Humanity can go home and the faster you will be able to understand the next Chapter in your lives. There will be a little more Forgiveness for you by choosing this.
> Gather ALL your plans and fire them all at once. Destruction to the Earth and its inhabitants on a MASSIVE scale. Just do it… "IF" you can. Of course, you and I know your Lease will not allow you to go this far. So this is not an option for you any longer. If YOU think you still have this type of control, go ahead, push all those buttons: Weather destruction, Nuclear bombing of major cities, the release of various viruses, your false flag of "God" coming to Earth or of your fake "alien invasion". Go ahead "try" to do it.
> This one involves "me". I won't spell-out the details but I'm aware that you "think" you know about me. (You've actually been looking in the wrong "Crystal Ball".) I saw your "fly" a few days ago. You lost connection with it because I've taught myself… well, let's not go into that. Let's just say, you have no more "fly". So, with this 3rd choice for you… come pick me up and we'll see just how far you get… and let's see if you can do it without sending in a battalion of drug-filled minds. Your own fear of the Key Players in this "Play" has kept you from facing those of us who are about to take back this planet. Humanity has finally woken-up to "strength in numbers" and now knows that WE are the "99-percent"!
Every Time we have to go to work, which is 6-Days a week now, Sylvia and I never get the amount of sleep we really want. We only get 3-to-5 hours of sleep each night. Today we had a day-off and slept 11-hours. During that Time, I didn't experience the waking-up 3 times in the night. Instead, I woke-up once and when I went back to sleep, I had a Dream that I actually remembered. I haven't had a "remembered" Dream in quite a while. However, this particular Dream was all wrong. It was too personal to be a "Symbolic" Dream and I don't feel that it was, what I call, a "Progressive" Dream (picking-up where the last "Sylvia Dream" left off).
I won't go into the details but the various everyday things Sylvia did was not what My Sylvia would do.
If anyone reading this has had a similar Dream, where the actions of the people in it don't match their real Character, I'd like to hear about it… or at least that you had this type of Dream.
I'm not sure why I watched this 28-minute video, all subtitled, but I feel that it "might" be true. "IF" it is true, the Discoverer had an open-mind and continued to think outside the box as he was doing his research.
He claims that the entire Earth is a "quarry" for mining various things and that the left-over "sludge" was deposited around the world, forming various "Spoil Tips". He states, over Time, these will "cook" and create Volcanoes and this can be stopped by removing (flattening) their tops and keeping them no higher than 40-meters. He claims to show proof of where HUGE mining machines, under the Sea, have left marks while removing material.
What he presents makes a lot of sense, at least to "me". Of course, YOU will have to decide if his information fits into your "Play".
"Teleculicus comes before the grand Juries of Light."
"Sevens are contacted, as Galactics send their craft."
"Andalusian Spirits calm the day."
"MAKE THIS VIRAL! WEEKLY ASCENSION MEDITATION"
"It is time to take action again! It is time to take the destiny of our world in our own hands! We all agree that the process of planetary liberation is taking too long. Here is our chance to collectively speed up the process. Therefore we are upgrading our Weekly Event Meditation and transforming it into Weekly Ascension Meditation to reach as many people as possible to join us"
"Scientific studies have confirmed positive effects of mass meditations on human society, so each of you that will participate in this meditation can actually help bringing the Event closer to us:"
"This meditation helps the Light forces to ground the energy of Light on the surface of the planet to strengthen the Light grid which is needed to speed up the process of Ascension. Number of people doing that meditation is the single most influential factor within the power of the surface human population for speeding up process."
I just noticed something… As I'm tuning into what happened, so I can write it out, there must be 2 different happenings because I can't connect the 2 scenarios that I know I had last night… and most nights, for the last 2-weeks or so.
At some point while sleeping, I wake-up just enough to see that it's Time to get up. I start to relax but knowing I would go back to sleep (instead of getting out of bed), I take another, more detailed look, at the Alarm Clock. I then see that it's about 3:30a or 4a. I simply go back to sleep. I wake-up again about an hour later… and go through the exact same things… I see that it's 4a or 4:30a and know that it's Time to get up. Then I look closer at the Clock and see that it's still not Time to get up. So I go back to sleep.
Both of these "happenings" have been happening to me almost every night for about 2-weeks now. Have "you" or someone you know had similar happenings?
This 2-minute video is of whistleblower, Simon Parkes. He states that we have not been told the truth about "why" Germany has told its people to stock-up on food and water. He "claims" the real reason is because the Cabal in the U.S. are going to use a German "target" as a false flag to start a 3rd world war.
My comments: "IF" this information is true, maybe it ties-in with the recent Remote Viewing of the "Farsight Institute" where 2 of their people, last month, saw into this month (August) and saw a "meteor" or some other type of "rock" or "projectile" hitting the Earth.
I believe those Remote Viewers also saw "hovering craft", which "could" be our Star Visitor friends and families making sure that Cabal attack does not become widespread.
PS 8-25-16 *Sleep, *Occupant, Gaia, Czech, Hoffman, Ascension?
• Earlier this week, I noticed the chain I wear, which holds Sylvia's "Wedding" and "Engagement" rings was getting very black. The last Time this happened, I used Baking Soda and a Polishing Cloth and it took me 2-hours to get it clean. This Time, I used standard, cheap, Cabal "Toothpaste" to loosen the dirt and then rubbed it with aluminum foil. It took about 15-minutes and it worked.
(Customer 1) "This can is dented. Does that really matter?"
(Customer 2) "Yeah. You'll be ok. It won't do anything."
"The inside of the can is coated. Depending on how bad the crease is, that coating can come off and interact with the food inside. This is especially true with acidic foods like tomatoes and Pasta Sauce."
I'm mentioning this because it shows… Even though we're probably standing on top of "the Event", "some" people are still just a "Sheeple" as ever. We need to consider this once the Event begins, so we can help those around us with an even more-basic explanation of what is happening.
There is DEFINITELY "something" going-on. It's been over 2-weeks now where I wake-up thinking it's Time to get up for the Day but when I look at the Clock, it shows 3a or 4a. I then go back to sleep and wake-up again… thinking it's Time to get up but the Clock still doesn't match that. Now it's around 4:30a or 5a. So I go back to sleep again.
This morning it all happened again but this Time, it was a bit different… At the 1st or 2nd wake-up point, I know I turned our Alarm Clock off. Why I then went back to sleep, I don't know but, a few hours later, the Alarm Clock SOUNDED! It jolted us because it was LOUD and it surprised us because we thought I had already turned it off!
So, I don't know WHAT is going-on but I do know SOMETHING is going-on.
As I tuned-in to that information, I felt Sylvia guiding my thoughts.
Almost instantly, I saw information on the "possible", upcoming Pole Shift right beside that memory of me watching "me" from slightly above my head. The connection I made with this is… What "IF" the "Pole Shift" is a "Magnetic" / "Polarity" flip… AND, what "IF" Souls in this Dimension are held inside their respective Units (the Body and its many processes) by a "Positive" or "Negative" charge or even by a particular combination of molecules which might form a microscopic ("as above, so below") version of our Solar System. So when the "Poles Shift" it causes our Soul to pop-out of its "container" (the Unit). "IF" all of THAT is true, then it would explain what some have said about the upcoming Ascension… that we won't "cross-over", in order to reach the next Dimension.
"Princes gather where Princesses abide."
"Balance is achieved with those of the Royal Light."
"Masters of perception embrace the present."
According to the following article, the Czech government is advising its citizens to store at least 1-day's supply of food.
This could be feedback that "something" (maybe the "Event") could be closer to unfolding than we realize.
My comments: Even "IF" the Sun goes out completely for a few Days, I'm still feeling that we are on a "Positive" TimeLine. Yes, we could experience a few rough days and it might "seem" like the world is ending but… there's a saying: "Darkest before the Dawn" which might apply here.
My comments: That's interesting… I setup this Section and then got sidetracked. Just before sending this tonight, I saw that I had forgotten to include the 2 paragraphs that she Posted today. When I went back to her facebook page, where I initially found them, they were gone. There were other Postings with a Time Stamp after that as well as Time Stamp's before the messages I was looking for but those 2 paragraphs are nowhere to be found.
"IF" this information is true, this Channeled message is providing a Time-Point in September, for an increase in energy waves to this planet.
"You can imagine this time period like a training ground, before the initial wave comes to your planet. (September 9th – 11th)"
"During the initial wave you will already experience the energies and the more you can tend to your physical, emotional and spiritual body, the better."
"Starting on September 26th, the third wave will arrive at your planet and will continue for several weeks."
"The duration of this wave depends on the level of integration of the collective mass-consciousness of humanity."
"Remain in your emotional, spiritual and physical center as much as you can."
"Together with Adama of Telos and Archangel Michael we will keep you updated during this profound and important time."
My comments: A Commenter on the following page stated the same thing that ran through "my" mind when I read Cobra's message: "Timeline?" I don't remember Cobra ever talking about "Timelines" before.
The following 4-minute video is "supposed" to be an Interview with a Star Visitor. You will have to decide whether this is real (maybe "soft Disclosure") or if the Cabal are just "playing us"… again.
(Human) "What happens when we die?"
(Star Visitor) "Death is a Human construct. It does not exist. You will experience… and have experienced… every instance of so called life. You. Me. Him. We are instances of the same life. Separated by what you call Death."
(Human) "So let me get this straight. There's no death… and we all experience each others lives."
(Star Visitor) "In essence, yes."
My comments: That video is very interesting. The Forum Site I found this on is typically very open-minded and will only put-up with new information if it's presented with facts and in a sensible manner. So I was very surprised to see that just about every Commenter that I read (on the 1st page), was "certain" that this video is fake.
Maybe I just "want" it to be real. Maybe this is because I can feel that Being's sadness that he has been caught and I can sense the tone of the Interviewer, holding back his twisted pride of "You aren't going anywhere pal. Just tell us what you know."
Plus, "IF" this is fake, why didn't they talk about other things? Especially if this was created by the Cabal… "I" would think they would have dumped a lot of "fear" topics in that video… but they didn't.
So "IF" this is fake, we have to ask ourselves… "why?"… Why did someone go to all that trouble of creating that video if it's fake? Is it simply a High School student playing with 3D Modeling software? or is it the work of the Cabal trying to spoon-feed us into a more-digestible meal of soon-to-be released "Disclosure"? Only Time will tell.
"Miracles happen (faster) when we stop talking and let the Universe reply." Asking 1000 times doesn't make the energy move faster, believing that it is happening, is done, and has arrived, does, even if you don't have the physical proof of your miracle in this moment. The energy starts moving as soon as we think of the miracle or shift in energy, we want to create. Remember, divine timing doesn't mean 'right now', it means when things line up perfectly and sometimes that takes time. Patience is required but that doesn't mean waiting, it means letting things get aligned into our perfect moment. A tough lesson, I know, and I am an Aries, not the world's most patient person."
Just before supper, I was sitting here looking over some information online. At one point, I noticed that my mind had shifted over into "Daydreaming". Just as I focused in on that energy, it disappeared.
I was in a meeting of some sort. It seemed like a house-sized room with 20 or 30 people. I think they were talking to each other. Maybe waiting for the next Speaker to start explaining things.
My brain instinctively pulled back a bit, because it was wondering which "mental compartment" this was being projected from. When it did, I realized there was a "me" here (the "me" typing this) who was observing a "me" somewhere else… who was observing the "me" in that meeting. As soon as I made that connection, the Vision instantly disappeared.
Before that "bubble" burst, I heard the "me" in the meeting tell the "me" who was "somewhere else"… "Oh, and I need to take care of that."… and the other "me" acknowledged that .
This has happened a few other times during these last 280-weeks. To "me", those energies lined-up because the "Veil" has either gotten thinner (again) or 1 of its cracks just happened to wander by me at that moment.
Interesting… I just did it again… and it's been about 5-hours since that earlier "Dimensional experience". I had re-read what I wrote above and was searching my mind for an "illustration" or "comparison" when my mind wandered onto something which felt like 1 of my memories. When I realized I was focused on a specific idea, I quickly saw that it wasn't something from "my" memory but it did feel like something familiar… Something that a part of me understands… a "me" from "some where" or "some Dimension".
So either the "Veil" is rapidly disintegrating or there are now many more holes in it.
As we were leaving the building to go home from work, we passed by a Painter who has been painting certain steel beams with fireproof paint since around February of this year.
He was a Fire Chief "in" or "near" New York, when "911" happened.
There was a meeting of "some" or "all" of the Fire Chiefs in Virginia just after that incident happened. They were all on a "committee" or were "Advisors" who got-together in order to figure out why those Towers went down.
He said "jet fuel" is the hottest fuel there is and that those Towers would not have fallen if the steel in those buildings was painted with "fireproof paint". I mentioned that some people have said that those Towers fell because of a "controlled demolition". He said: "It wasn't a Demolition. They fell because of the jet fuel and the weight of each floor pushing down on the floor below it."
He then said those Towers "imploded". I said buildings also "implode" when they're taken down by a controlled demolition. We were outside, so I'm not sure if he heard what I said.
This 2-hour video is a discussion between 6 people. The title is: "Shift Paradox, Quantum Jump or Mandela Effect?". Although I've only seen about the 1st 30-minutes, I feel it's important enough to include, in order for everyone to understand the "supposedly" current thinking on what Humanity and our Solar System is now going through.
In the last week or 2, I've been feeling more and more of a push to move this album project forward. I think it was about 2-weeks ago that I actually felt the energy surrounding this album change.
Keep in mind that this "move forward" is not just for "our" album. Somehow, the energy of this album is "linked" / "attached to" / or somehow "associated with" the very reality (or "illusion") we all currently find ourselves in.
The numbers down the left side are the Track numbers and the numbers to the right of each Song is its duration. Yes, some "Tracks" are only 10-seconds long.
Still wanting to make our Lyrics, and some of the comments we have about some of the Songs, available to whoever buys a CD, we decided to place ALL of that information on a "Poster".
We've designed an 18 x 24-inch Poster which will be sold separately. It contains all of the Lyrics. Surrounding those Lyrics, around the border of the Poster, is a "picture frame-looking" bunch of white lines. Looking carefully at them, you'll notice they spiral around the edge of the Poster. These are not "lines", they are the comments for most of the Songs.
Yes, you'll have to rotate the Poster, in order to read all of them. Keep in mind that this is a "Rock Album". Fans like to "get involved" with whatever the Band releases. I know I did… and still do.
When I 1st started following Uriah Heep, Blue Oyster Cult, Yes, Rush, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, etc., I would study each album's artwork. Looking carefully at every detail.
Some of the Songs have an image, which represents what that Song describes… and, yes, I used some clipart and "built" a "Time Machine" and it's there almost in the center of the Poster.
Remember, this is a "Concept" album… It deals with the loss of your Significant Other. It takes you from chaos, through anger, to figuring out how to now deal with "reality" and finally to "hope". Refractionary Landscape is probably the only Song on this album that everyone will only listen to once. It projects a LOT of stressful energy.
Just as in our Song "Calling All Humans", I had to use Yamaha's "Cyber Diva" software for the female "Singing" and "Talking" parts. However, she doesn't "Talk" very well. She wants to place her "words" on actual Notes. So, in the Dialog of Track 1, she sings her Talking part.
Right now, the music is complete, the CD packaging, CD design and the Poster are all finished. We are now moving forward with the "Incentives" for "crowd-funding".
"Elementals vibrate with the Hue-man character."
"Sensations of Higher Testimonials are felt."
"This surge of eclipse energy from the mutable T-Square will accelerate the demise of global oligarchy and hasten the end of the gross political and economic inequality threatens global stability. The eclipse energies will trigger and accelerate karmic consequences for using dishonest and manipulative language. This will further cleanse our politics and economics of toxic rhetoric and hasten the end of the oligarchic institutions and practices that it supports."
"Before September is half over, we will be able to count on Jupiter's enriching, uplifting, kind and empowering energies once more. Positive synchronicity will proliferate in the world. Mutable winter will turn into mutable spring."
"Over the last forty years and more, we co-created a global oligarchy. We have been 'co-experiencing' the negative effects of that oligarchy for some years now."
"The mutable T-Square is currently helping us 'co-deconstruct' the oligarchy, with considerable hardship and risk to ourselves. Essentially, what we have been doing recently is 'co-deconstructing' the oligarchy and its basis in consciousness as we deal with the rigors of the change process and cope with the damage still being done by decades of oligarchic misrule. "
In last night's "*Music" Section, I forgot to include the link to the software Sylvia and I are currently testing… to see if we can create the videos for this album in "software".
This particular program specializes in "3D Character" Modeling, Posing and Animation. It's called "Daz Studio Pro" and it's free.
Note: If you watch the video that's on the above page, keep in mind that EVERY Character, Human or otherwise, is not real. All of them were created within that software.
"Merrimacs enter, where calcifieds have failed."
"Steadfastness of the Higher Light dissolve all blocks."
"Necessities are only of the Light."
This 16-minute video claims NASA has released an image of Mars with the title: "Martian Morse Code".
I'm including this because it "may" be the Cabal's way of conditioning Humanity for "Disclosure" (that Star Visitors are real).
"I do believe this is the time we've been waiting for. All the signs are here. We wouldn't be given this knowledge… this "to know", if it wasn't… I finally have a sensation like "We're going home". It's a place in the heart. We're going back into our heart. We're going to move out of the "fear base"… move out of the fear side of the heart… move out of the reactive side of the mind that triggers the heart and we're going to move into the "real love, one among another". One among ALL others."
"We've been playing their game. Time to flip our own switch. Let me look at our charts some more… to see what we really should be focusing in on. Looking at our Birth Charts, we're looking at the past. To try to understand "Now", and know where we're going, we have the ability no to look in to the "Now"… to the future."

Rookie Stefani shoots 66 to lead at St. Jude
June 8, 2013 at 10:39 p.m.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Rookie Shawn Stefani overcame a quadruple bogey and shot a 4-under 66 on Saturday to take the third-round lead in the St. Jude Classic.
The 31-year-old Texan blew a two-stroke lead with the quadruple bogey on No. 11, but rebounded with four birdies over his final five holes to move back atop the leaderboard. He had eight birdies to go with that quadruple bogey to reach 12-under 198 at TPC Southwind.
Harris English was a stroke back after a 69, finishing out of the lead for the first time this week.
Scott Stallings, Patrick Reed and Nicholas Thompson were 8 under. Stallings had a 67, Reed shot 64, and Thompson had a 66. Phil Mickelson was another stroke back after a 65.
Pressel shoots 2-under
PITTSFORD, N.Y. — Overcoming rain and a muddy course, Morgan Pressel shot a 2-under 70 to take the lead after two rounds of the LPGA Championship.
At 6-under 138, Pressel had a two-shot lead over top-ranked Inbee Park and Chella Choi. Park shot 68, while Choi, the first-round leader, struggled with a 73.
The final two rounds will be squeezed into a 36-hole marathon Sunday at Locust Hill Country Club to determine the winner of the tour's second major. The change in schedule came after nearly five inches of rain fell Thursday, forcing officials to postpone the first round.
Frost ahead after
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — David Frost birdied the 16th and 17th holes en route to a 6-under 66 and a one-stroke lead over Fred Couples after the third round of the Regions Tradition.
Frost, the South African who won the Toshiba Classic in March for his fourth Champions Tour title, had four birdies on the final eight holes to move to 12-under 205 in the major championship.
Luiten extends lead
ATZENBRUGG, Austria — Dutchman Joost Luiten shot a 5-under 67 to extend his lead to three strokes after the third round of the Lyoness Open.


The feeling of finally being back from co-op is an unexpected one, and I think that people who are on co-op should look forward to returning to classes. The morning commutes to work are something that I already miss more than I imagined I ever would, and not bidding everyone a "good morning!" when I walk in the office is also something I had grown so accustomed to that it now feels odd to not do it.
To my surprise, I am quite excited to be back in classes. The time that I spent inside of Drexel's halls was very limited these past six months, as I very rarely had a reason to enter them. Now that I am back, I'm getting a chance to see how some places on campus have changed and how others have stayed virtually the same. It of course doesn't have that same feeling as the first time I started classes on day one of freshman year, but the feeling I get now is close to that. It all feels new again.
When I first started my co-op, I was so grateful to be done with classes that I couldn't express my joy at getting what was essentially a six-month break. I told all of my friends and family that I would dread the very thought of having to return to class, and many of my friends had the same general feeling. However, now that six months have passed and I am at the point which I was dreading six months ago, my feelings have completely changed.
Having to go a year without any classes made me realize all of the little things in class that I love, and now, having been away for a while, I truly miss them. Sure, exams, papers and homework can really be a pain in the neck much of the time, but those aren't the only things that give a class character. They're major factors in any class, but there are so many other things that determine the experience. I feel that this is why people, including me, were originally not fond of the idea of returning to class.
The many other aspects of taking classes didn't dawn on me during my time on co-op, as these aspects were overshadowed by the more stressful ones that I found less pleasing. But things like seeing and being taught by past professors I really like, taking subjects that interest me and studying English literature are all things that I had forgotten the joy of.
Perhaps if you've had some rotten luck, and all your classes and professors at Drexel have been mediocre or poor by your standards, then I could see how you would detest coming back to class after being away on co-op. But even then, there are some things you can still look forward to and enjoy. I mean, who doesn't like being able to sleep in until the afternoon because you don't have class until the evening? There are probably people who prefer waking up in the morning each day to go to work, and that's perfectly understandable, but my point is that there are other things classes allow us to do that co-op does not.
We all have things that we like and dislike about classes, so we should try to focus on the things we like in order to make the transition from co-op back to classes a little smoother. As you finish your co-ops, try reminding yourself of the things you miss most about classes.


Welcome to the new Roscommon Acres. My name is Dan and I am a home growing cannabis cultivator in the State of Michigan. When I began home growing, I thought I'd be getting schooled by the competition, however thru learning different methods to grow cannabis indoors I began to produce top-shelf medical-grade cannabis buds and quickly earned a reputation for quality.
Recently I have taken a liking towards helping others learn how to grow their own weed at home. The entire process from seed-to-bud can be completed in the comfort of ones home, which makes indoor growing, grow tents and stealth closet growing the primary focus of this blog.
I'm glad you asked! We are located in Roscommon County, Michigan (yes, where recreational cannabis is legal) that's why we chose the name Roscommon Acres. The Roscommon family name actually originated in County Roscommon, Ireland. "Ros" means a gentle, wooded height, whereas "Coman" is the name of the County's saint.

IDK & Denzel Curry Deliver an Insane Collab in "Once Upon A Time"
What does the DMV and South Florida have in common? Incredible talent.
While the majority of today's hip-hop newcomers are mimicry in their stylistic approach, typically predicated on half-sung, half-rapped diluted lyrics over trap production, that doesn't mean that it's a blanketed approach for all burgeoning acts. Some individuals with resolve maintain the integrity necessary to not only propel their artistry forward, but to stand out–to be heard when everything else is falling on deaf ears.
Two of those individualistic members are the DMV's IDK and South Florida's Denzel Curry. These artists certainly harbor the eccentric characteristics necessary to spillover into hip-hop's margins, but they do so in a very calibrated, well-articulated manner. They rely on their lyrics to facilitate the complex inner workings of their vast, pressurized minds. And today, they've joined forces on IDK's "Once Upon A Time", which, ironically, was recorded in the vein of Lil Wayne–all off the top.

Locomotives of the LMS NCC and its Predecessors, by William Scott
Published by Colourpoint in 2008, 190 pages. Hardback with Dust Jacket - 21.5cm by 29cm (N6843)
From the inside front fly leaf: This is a long overdue history of the locomotives of the NCC, which was a significant part of the LMS empire in Ireland. The NCC brought a splash of Midland red to the Irish locomotive scene in the 1920s and 1930s and was a useful test bed for LMS experiments with new traction, such as Sentinel steam locomotives and diesel railcars. It also provided personnel who later filled some significant management posts for the LMS itself, such as WK Wallace, Malcolm Speir and Sir William V Wood. William Scott's book goes back to the origins of the NCC locomotive fleet in 1847, when the Belfast and Ballymena Railway ordered its first locomotives. The B&BR was renamed the Belfast and Northern Counties Railway in 1860, taking over two other railways the following year. The locomotives of these constituents, the Londonderry and Coleraine Railway and Belfast, Ballymena, Coleraine and Portrush Junction Railway are included, as well as those of the narrow gauge lines taken over in the 1880s.
In 1903 the BNCR was purchased by the Midland Railway and became known as the MR (NCC), later the LMS (NCC). The book gives details of every NCC locomotive built between 1847 and the end of steam in 1970. The author is a train timer and includes sample logs of performances of the locomotive types in service after 1935. This comprehensive book is illustrated with 272 black and white pictures and 47 official drawings.

'Poetry takes risks': A daring ASU writer earns her degree
Kristen LaRue
Editor's note: This is part of a series of profiles for spring 2018 commencement.
Hailing from Springfield, Virginia, Arizona State University student Susan Nguyen has called the desert her home for the past three years. She is earning her Master of Fine Arts in creative writing (poetry) here, where she served as the poetry editor for literary journal Hayden's Ferry Review and received several fellowships from the Virginia G. Piper Center for Creative Writing. These fellowships gave her the opportunity to teach introductory creative writing at the National University of Singapore and to begin on oral-history project centered on the Vietnamese diaspora.
Earlier this year, Nguyen's daring and bodily approach to language drew attention from PBS NewsHour, which called her one of "three women poets to watch in 2018."
Nguyen has begun to live out her belief that creative writing is life-affirming."Storytelling is one way in which connections are born," she said, and one way that "our personhood is recognized." The importance of being recognized, of being seen and valued, is at the center of Nguyen's writing. As she told NewsHour, she "writes poetry that 'carves out space' for her body and identity as an Asian-American woman" and that "her work doesn't deal with pleasant or pretty themes."
Nguyen received the Aleida Rodriguez Memorial Award from the Department of English for her poem "The First Language," which was published in early February by the journal The Shallow Ends. In these lines from the poem, Nguyen unearths from the center of herself an image of a father figure, which is perhaps a memory, perhaps a wish:
He taught her that their first language was named after tadpoles, the way they moved through water: a / knife dissecting the stratosphere, a voice cutting quiet.
The poem encapsulates Nguyen's way of approaching language: that is, to reconnect it to the physical world and to the voice.
Nguyen answered a few more questions about her writing and her future.
Answer: I grew up wanting to be a writer because I was such a bookworm. I came to love language and wanted to have the same power as the authors I read to transport readers, to educate and illuminate and delight. At first, I thought I was going to be a novelist because that's pretty much all I was reading. Leaving high school, I actually thought I hated poetry. When I took an introduction to creative writing course during my freshman year of college, I was surprised to find that poetry was what I was drawn to as a writer and I excelled at it more so than fiction or nonfiction.
Even though poetry was, and still is, challenging, I find it to be language at its strongest, at its utmost capacity. A lot of my research and writing is about the body. The body as it is othered, gendered, racialized, sexualized. The body living in diaspora and learning its own history and trauma. It's not an easy task to interrogate these intersections of the body, which is why poetry is one of the most conducive media for me to explore what it means to exist in my body.
Poetry takes risks, and I want to live in that space where language can ignore margins, challenge blank space, and surpass the safe and familiar.
A: Learning a language is a physical act. Speaking is a physical act. Both are rooted in the body and both are difficult. I have taken Vietnamese language courses at ASU all three years that I have been here, and in writing about my experience with language and my body, I have been trying to uncover new ways to describe this process: new ways to convey how language can remain trapped in your throat, how much effort your body must expend each day to say anything, everything.
That not every piece of writing or art is meant for every reader or viewer. When I entered the program, I think I assumed artists strove to create "universal" works. I don't think that anymore. My writing is meant for those willing to engage with it.
To be less "apologetic" about my work in terms of content, code-switching, narrative structure and form. I don't think my work is particularly obscure, but I feel more confident now in letting my readers do some of the hard work of listening and understanding.
A: I was excited about the faculty I would get to work with and the opportunities that the MFA program and the Virginia G. Piper Center for Creative Writing offered.
A: Don't be afraid to follow your passions and see where they lead you. Take classes outside of your major if that's what interests you. The classes that I have taken outside of the MFA program, such as Vietnamese language courses and Asian Pacific American literature courses, have been integral to both my personal and research interests and have added a lot to my writing.
Also, nurture your relationships. Support others and find ways of receiving support. Once you graduate, continue cultivating those networks of support. I find this especially important in the literary community — leaving a graduate program where I am immersed in creating and talking about art has been life-changing, and it's important to me to still have people I trust to turn to once I'm outside of academia.
Q: What was your favorite spot on campus, whether for studying, meeting friends or just thinking about life?
A: The gardens around the Virginia G. Piper Center.
A: I'm still waiting to hear back from a fellowship or two … fingers crossed!
In the meanwhile, and regardless of the outcome, I will keep writing. I will keep making and exploring different forms of art (during the past few years, I have been especially interested in zine-making). I will keep participating and contributing to the literary community and the other communities I am a part of.
A: Making education more accessible, especially in low-income communities, so that individuals are in better positions to break out of the poverty cycle. I don't think we can approach "solving" poverty without first tackling our education system, which also means valuing our educators and the work they do.

EU Assesses Duration of Third COVID-19 Jab
Eleonora Vasquez and Sarantis Michalopoulos
The leadership of the European Commission is currently discussing with scientists how long a third dose is effective in protecting against COVID-19, EURACTIV.com has learnt. Italy is mulling over shortening COVID pass validity while Greece is considering a similar step even without a joint EU decision. Meanwhile, rumours of a fourth dose are circulating if high rates of unvaccinated citizens persist.

EURACTIV was informed that Brussels has been discussing how long third doses of COVID-19 vaccines will remain effective.
Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Czechia, Greece, Serbia, and others, have already started offering citizens the third dose. This has mainly been prioritised for the elderly and those with underlying health issues.
At the moment, Italy is in the middle of a fourth COVID wave, and cases are rising sharply. Compared to last week, there is a 26.3% increase in new cases, an 18.9% increase in deaths, and a 15.6% rise in patients in intensive care.
For this reason, the government is considering reviewing the validity period of COVID passes from 12 to nine or six months. On Sunday November 14, the National Health Institute said that vaccine effectiveness sharply decreases after six months from the end of the vaccine cycle.
According to the Institute, vaccine efficacy before and after six months from the date of administration "falls by 25.5%, from 75.5% to 50.2% for infections; for severe disease leading to hospitalisation or intensive care it only falls by 9.7% (from 91.8% to 82.1%)."
Italy is boosting its vaccination campaign to contain the infection. Third doses will be available for those in the 40-60 age group from December 1, said Health Minister Roberto Speranza last Wednesday. The government will wait two weeks before making any decisions, depending on third dose vaccination campaign data.
France has already made such a decision for those over 65.
Greece has similar thoughts and vows to move on even without a consensus at the EU level. According to the relevant EU regulation, the COVID-19 pass duration is for 12 months.

Italy questions rapid tests' validity
Rome is also the possibility of removing rapid antigen COVID-19 tests as an eligibility criterion to issue certificates.
There are also doubts about the reliability of rapid antigen tests. According to experts, the percentage of false negatives might have a dangerous impact on the test and tracking mechanism.
A fourth dose?
Meanwhile, in Greece, a discussion over the need for a fourth dose has started.
Secretary-General of Primary Care of the Ministry of Health Marios Themistokleous commented that "logically it will not be needed", as scientific data up to date suggest that with a third dose, one gains a permanent degree of immunity.
"It has not been clarified, but logically so far, it won't probably be needed," he told Skai TV.
An EU source said that currently, there were no talks for the fourth dose in Brussels, but everything will depend on the effectiveness of the third dose.
"No one rules out anything as long as the unvaccinated do not decide to get vaccinated," the source added.

So what is the opposite of "her desire will be for her husband"?
Her desire will be for and BE MET in her God. Do you see how much more this resembles the garden? Her longing is so deep only her Lover, the Lord can fill it. When she is fully defined and satisfied in Him, when she embraces all she is in Him, then and only then is she free to release her womanhood, her True God Expression of a Woman in a relationship with a man. Her glory is restored. Or should I say, God's Glory in her is released.
Desire. This is how Jesus feels about me and about you. This intense longing. Talk about glory.
When you understand that Jesus loves us this intently, this relentlessly, then you begin to see why marriage is so important. There is nothing more powerful than when two people released in the Spirit of God come together in marriage. Talk about fireworks!
Why? Because when a man and a woman know who they are in Jesus, faults and all, they come together in God's strength, for His glory, out of His overflow—it is truly breath-taking. It has little to do with the couple, it has everything to do with the picture. A lovestruck bridegroom, an eager and willing bride.
But what if you are not married?
Then all the more —to discover who we are as women, rather than thinking we will only be complete with a man. I know so many women who live in this kind of "lacking" state because there either 1) don't have a man, or 2) they don't have a man who meets their needs.
You have a man. A Royal Husband. His name is King Jesus. Have you met Him? If you are looking for a man, trying turning to the one who is looking for you. As my college friends say, He is the bomb.
Sisters, whether married or not, it was never the human man's job to meet all our needs. Nor our job to meet all of his needs. It is, however, Jesus's desire to meet our longings. He longs to release and restore us, to enliven us. Then out of this overflow we pour into others whether that is in our relationships, marriages, families, or communities.
Ephesians 1:23 says that Jesus fills everything in every way.
So what do we do with that? Sigh and say "oh well." Or do we scratch our heads and think it must be something we're doing wrong? Do we think "Ah ha! I need to change men"? Or "Ah ha! I need to change my man"?
Or do we stop and listen? Really listen, and hear that cry from somewhere deep within, the hunger that aches in our bellies and instead of going to the mall or the spa or the gym, go to the only source that can answer the call and satisfy the hunger.
Where do you go when you ache with longing? Do you think Jesus can meet your every need? Even your need for romance and physical intimacy? Do you believe He wants to fulfill your desires? Do you give yourself permission to voice your desires?

Black Ice The Lost History of the Colored Hockey League of the Maritimes, 1895-1925
Authors: Darril Fosty, George Fosty
In 1895, The Colored Hockey League of the Maritimes was formed in Halifax, Nova Scotia. This was Twenty-five years before the Negro Baseball Leauges in the United States, and twenty-two years before the birth of the National Hockey League. The Colored League would emerge as a premier force in Canadian hockey and supply the resilience necessary to preserve a unique culture which exists to this day. Unfortunately their contributions were conveniently ignored, or simply stolen, as white teams and hockey officials, influenced by the black league, copied elements of the black style or sought to take self-credit for black hockey innovations. Black Ice is the first written record of the Colored Hockey League in the Maritimes.
