How Awesome Is Ashwagandha?
June 17, 2016 June 16, 2016 by Dr Joseph Mercola
Very quickly gaining in popularity in the U.S. as an "incredibly healthy" herb with centuries-old medicinal qualities, ashwagandha has a long list of attributes to its credit. One of the best known is its use as an adaptogen, meaning that it helps you manage stress.
Ashwagandha is translated in Sanskrit as "smell of the horse," possibly as a double meaning: the herb exudes the peculiar odor of a horse, and it's also known for its ability to increase strength and promote health when used regularly.
Other names include winter cherry and Indian ginseng, along with its botanical moniker Withania somnifera. Originating in the region of Pakistan, India and Sri Lanka, ashwagandha has been used by East Indian cultures for thousands of years, based on the 3,000-year-old alternative East Indian medicine known as Ayurveda.
It's only been in the last 50 years that this member of the nightshade family of plants (Solanaceae) has emerged in the West as a potent healing herb, with growing popularity.
Actual Asian ginseng (botanical name Panax ginseng), also an adaptagenic herb, is one of the most sought-after herbal supplements in the U.S. and has several things in common with ashwagandha.
Besides easing fatigue in cancer patients and improving Alzheimer's, they share a similar effect on infertility and emotional disorders.
Perhaps less well known and not quite as powerful as ginseng, ashwagandha currently sells for $12 to $15 per pound, while ginseng can sometimes go for $100 for the same amount. Nevertheless, ashwagandha has its following of people who value it for its many health advantages.
Originating in India and Northern Africa, the ashwagandha plant is a small shrub bearing small yellow flowers and teardrop-shaped leaves. It's the leaves that hold the key to the health benefits. Dried and reduced to a powder, compounds called withanolides are possibly the most active ingredients.
Ashwagandha Shown to Fight Many Types of Cancer
Ashwagandha trials have demonstrated numerous and dramatic healing properties for many diseases and presented encouraging prospects in others. Possibly, its most zealously tested benefits are in regard to its ability to combat inflammation and tumor growth.1
In one animal study "using chemically induced and oncogene-driven rodent cancer models," new cancer cell growth was inhibited:
"The plants used in Ayurvedic medicine, which has been practiced in India for thousands of years for the treatment of a variety of disorders, are rich in chemicals potentially useful for prevention and treatment of cancer.
Withania somnifera (commonly known as ashwagandha in Ayurvedic medicine) is one such medicinal plant whose anticancer value was realized over four decades ago after isolation of a crystalline steroidal compound (withaferin A) from the leaves of this shrub."2
Cancer cell apoptosis, or programmed cell death, is one of the ways ashwagandha is thought to exert cancer-resistant effects. It may also have an ability to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) to kill cancer cells without harming normal cells.3
Researchers concluded after trials that ashwagandha may be valuable for combating lung,4 breast,5 colon,6 and a particularly aggressive brain cancer called glioblastoma multiforme, or GBM.7
In another study, mice with ovarian tumors were treated with ashwagandha in combination with an anticancer drug. Besides reporting a 70 percent to 80 percent decrease in tumor growth, metastasis, or the spread of tumor cell growth, was also obstructed.8
Ashwagandha Affects Insulin, Blood Sugar Levels and Inflammation
One valuable use for this herb is in relation to lowering blood sugar levels, as evidenced by a study showing its dual actions of increasing insulin secretion along with muscle cell sensitivity.9
In trials on people with schizophrenia, scientists found subjects to have reduced fasting blood sugar after four weeks.10 Similar results were recorded in another assessment, which showed effectiveness comparable to an oral diabetes drug.11
Chronic inflammation threatens individuals suffering from diabetes, as well as heart disease, obesity and cancer. The best defense against inflammation and the pain associated with it is in your diet, as multiple studies have demonstrated.
Ashwagandha can be added to the many healing herbs and spices shown to improve this condition.
Oxidative stress has been described as "an imbalance between the production of free radicals and the ability of the body to counteract or detoxify their harmful effects through neutralization by antioxidants."12
Ashwagandha has exhibited reduced oxidative stress and inflammation in multiple studies and may be helpful for arthritis symptoms, as well.13
Ashwagandha Can Help Decrease Depression, Stress, Anxiety and Insomnia
There's no denying that the rest of your body reacts to stress. One of the attributes of ashwagandha is its ability to induce calmness and clarity by regulating neurotransmitters such as serotonin and the stress hormone cortisol.
Your adrenal glands release cortisol when your blood sugar level drops too low and also when you're stressed. When cortisol levels get too high, it can wreak havoc on your blood sugar, blood pressure and cholesterol levels, your hormone balance, immune system, and may even increase fat storage.
The good news is research has shown that consuming ashwagandha may not only reduce cortisol levels but also, as an adaptagen, can "substantially" reduce chronic stress14 to help your body adapt to and alleviate the stomach-churning anxiety stress can cause.
In one interesting study, anxiety test scores among 75 participants with moderate to severe anxiety were placed in two groups. Those treated with ashwagandha were shown to have "significantly decreased" symptoms as opposed to those undergoing more conventional interventions.15
Another review was undertaken to seek evidence of ashwagandha use in regard to gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), an inhibitory neurotransmitter significantly involved in regulating physiological and psychological processes signaling:
"Our results provide evidence indicating that key constituents in WS [ashwagandha] may have an important role in the development of pharmacological treatments for neurological disorders associated with GABAergic signaling dysfunction such as general anxiety disorders, sleep disturbances, muscle spasms, and seizures."16
Research indicates there's a likelihood that ashwagandha may be useful for helping patients in opioid withdrawal as well as reducing or eliminating dependence on benzodiazapene drugs such as Xanax and Valium.
Infertility Alleviated, Muscle Strength Increased by Compounds in Ashwagandha
Stress can cause many seemingly unrelated ailments and conditions, including infertility — or perhaps the infertility causes the stress. In one study, ashwagandha supplements were given to 120 infertile men, while placebos were given to another 60 men classified as fertile.
"Treatment resulted in a decrease in stress, improved the level of antioxidants and improved overall semen quality in a significant number of individuals. The treatment resulted in pregnancy in the partners of 14 percent of the patients."17
Researchers also found that groups treated with this Indian herb showed dramatically increased muscle strength and muscle mass, as well muscle recovery after injury in several different bench press exercises after being treated with ashwagandha supplements for eight weeks.18
Further, participants taking ashwagandha in that study experienced more than double the percentage of body fat loss in comparison to those taking placebos. Interestingly, ashwagandha is also used in Ayurveda to stimulate libido in women, soothe painful periods and strengthen the uteruses of those who've had miscarriages.
Learning, Memory, Improvement of Neurodegenerative Diseases and More
One of the traditional uses for this herb was to improve memory and sharpen brain function, the age of the individual notwithstanding. That continues to hold true:
"In modern research, ashwagandha has been found to boost an important antioxidant in the brain called glutathione. Glutathione is an essential component for cell development, enzymatic activity, and for clearing toxins from the body."19
Numerous studies indicate there's also hope for patients suffering from devastating disorders such as Alzheimer's, Huntington's and Parkinson's disease. Scientists believe this ability comes through inhibited amyloid plaque that forms on the brain. It may also be useful for a neurological disorder called restless leg syndrome.
In people with underactive thyroid, in which the thyroid gland fails to produce the hormones needed, ashwagandha extracts have been found to significantly increase the hormone levels of patients with hypothyroidism. Scientists believe that, taken over time, this herb may also help with adrenal gland imbalances.
Natural Medicine — Much More in Line With Your Best Health Interests
Finding a plant that has as many uses as ashwagandha in regard to healing your body and mind makes it all the more clear that natural and alternative health care is so much more effective and less threatening to your body than what is pushed through today's conventional medical practices.
In spite of many medical associations' claims, natural medicine is one way you can take control of your health. Arm yourself with the facts about disease, what causes it and how to prevent it, rather than caving to the current medication-driven forum for "treating" disease and "managing" illness.

Buy "Trouble" on Amazon
'Trouble' is putting it mildly. Fifteen year old Hannah is pregnant by her undergraduate step-brother, Jay. Since her mum and step-dad are not likely to be overjoyed by this news, she's relieved when her new school-friend, Aaron, volunteers to pretend to be the father to cover things up for a while. Hannah doesn't tell him who the real father is, but Aaron's got Trouble of his own, and he does want to do something which matters, something positive. He needs to make amends. We aren't told why, though we do know it's enough to have prompted his parents to move house and his consequent arrival at Hannah's school. Eventually we learn that Aaron believes he was responsible for the death of his best friend Chris. You see, Chris had cheated on their mutual friend, Penny, on his hols and, well, one thing led to another.
All of this happens in an atmosphere torrid with Year 11 hormones. How this lot have time and energy to spare for GCSEs is a mystery. Every Friday night, most of the Year are down the park, rain or shine or freeze, playing at soap operas, drinking and rowing and shagging the night away. The air crackles with quick-fire smartarse abuse, seething jealousies, in-your-face posturing and other self-dramatising excesses. I have to say, my informants tell me it's not too much like this round our way.
And yet… The central story of Hannah and Aaron plays out in increasing contrast to this frenetic, skin-deep world. The pair's needs gently engage with each other. To begin with, Hannah is one of the crowd, adrift, overwhelmed, and sexually casual within the Friday night gang; though the detailed two or three page account of her fateful night with Jay is anything but casual. On the other hand, Aaron is reflective, bright and well-read enough to throw in the odd reference to Dante; but he is hobbled by guilt. They do have a couple of friends who don't keep step with the crowd – one gay, one serious and sporty. Each also receives caring advice from across the generations from a couple of residents in the same home: Hannah's unshockable Gran, and Neville, a curmudgeonly former History lecturer whom Aaron visits each week in another attempt to do something which counts.
The impending birth drives the novel along and as things move towards the explosive revelations, their parents are by turn distraught, powerless, unable to communicate, and yet willing to do anything for their children. Some bonds are severed, others grow and strengthen. Some loose ends remain loose. A tentative hope of a future for Hannah and Aaron emerges, based on their hard-won, well-rooted friendship.
YA novelists increasingly enjoy switching between 1st person narrators, which here allows us sympathetically inside Hannah and Aaron's changing emotions and perspectives, lending strength to this welcome first novel. I am less sure about Non Pratt's decision to delay, and delay, the reasons for Aaron's guilt. Other than deliberately teasing the reader, there was no narrative reason why this information was not revealed on several earlier occasions when it seemed obvious to do so.

The ancient city of Bargylia, dating back to the fifth century B.C., located near Güllük Bay on the northern coast of the Bodrum peninsula, is on sale for 35 million Turkish liras (around $8.4 million).
As no construction is permitted in first-degree archaeological sites, no excavations have been made on the site yet. So, the new owners will be free to enjoy an amphitheater hinted to be underground, an area which is believed to belong to the city's temple, the remains of a Roman bath and a necropolis from the Byzantine era.
Archaeologists want the Culture and Tourism Ministry to step in and be the potential buyer of the ancient city established on 330 decares of land—a private property since 1927—to ensure its protection, in order to stop it from becoming a holiday site.
Experts also warn some owners might want to seek to downgrade the status of the first-degree archaeological site, in a bid to open it for construction.
One of the shareholders of the land, the 87-year-old Hüseyin Üçpınar, told daily Hürriyet the land has been on sale for years now, but there had been a disagreement among the shareholders. In 2015, the ancient city was again was put on sale, this time for 22 million Turkish liras, but the funds fell short of buyers.
Meanwhile, the ancient city has been wrecked by treasure hunters over many years, with experts pointing out the state should put the area under protection as soon as possible. "We hear the sounds of treasure hunters at night, but we cannot do anything out of fear," said one of the locals.
Bargylia was an ancient city on the coast of Caria in southwestern Anatolia (modern-day Turkey). Bargylia's location corresponds to the modern Turkish town of Boğaziçi in the Muğla Province.
The city was said to have been founded by Bellerophon, a hero of Greek mythology, in honor of his companion Bargylos, who had been killed by a kick from the winged horse Pegasus. Near Bargylia was the Temple of Artemis Cindyas. The Greek geographer and philosopher who lived in Asia Minor during the transitional period of the Roman Republic into the Roman Empire, reports the local belief that rain would fall around the temple but never touch it. Artemis Cindyas and Pegasus appear on the coinage of Bargylia.
Protarchus, the Epicurean philosopher and mentor of Demetrius Lacon, was a native of Bargylia.


Heels & Souls are two young people who have got up and got out there and are doing great things. They've been running not-for-profit parties for charity over the last three years finding unusual spaces to throw them in. They had me and Lexx DJing for them at a party in a church in Bethnal Green. We played on altar. I texted my mum, a very Catholic lady, to tell her we were DJing on an altar and she just replied "say a prayer". Most catholic response ever. Anyway, they danced in the pews and we all had a good time.
The chaps, Ben & Patrick, have a fortnightly show on Reprezent Radio and have been busy DJing in London town and at various festivals this year. So here we have a mix. Inspired in part by archived WBMX and WBLS radio broadcasts from New York, they've put together a mix of their favourites from that amazing era. Pop fact for the day – the Marcel King track at 18 minutes is Shaun Ryder's favourite record released on Factory. Anyway, its the days of pure fun in New York's discos and these two have put that perfectly into an hour long mix.
If you want to find out more on Heels & Souls or their parties with a cause go to their Facebook page. Fun times.

Q: How to send an email to an MD5 address I have a database of users that includes an email address that has been encrypted using md5. I want to send an email to one of the users, and want to know if this is possible. In other words, can I send an email using an encrypted field?

A:
can I send an email using an encrypted field?

No, you cannot.
MD5 is a hashing algorithm, not an encryption algorithm.  One of the more significant differences is that you cannot recover the original text from the output of a hashing algorithm.  Ever.  All you can really do is test whether another piece of text generates the same hash, which can be taken as a sign that it is probably the same as the original text from which the hash was computed.  This is what password systems do to test user-provided passwords against a database of password hashes.
Bottom line: you cannot extract the needed address from its hash.

A: You can not send an email to an encrypted email address using the native PHP mail() function as the to string must comply with the RFC 2822 rules.

Jurgen Klopp refuses to prioritise competitions
Jurgen Klopp says Liverpool are not prioritising one competition over another this season. The Reds have excelled in 2018/19 and still have a chance of winning both the Premier League and the Champions League. Klopp's side make the trip to Barcelona on Wednesday night, but many feel one eye may be on Saturday's league trip to Newcastle. Speaking to the Independent, the Liverpool boss says his team are focusing on each game as it comes, with both competitions equally important: "We have a chance in both competitions. You (media) always make out a game is won before it is played." "In the moment I don't need to know which is the bigger chance for us.

Under South Australia's National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972 all three species of kangaroo, the red, the western grey and the euro, are all protected.
However the pair do not keep the animal inside indefinitely, rather the kangaroo chooses to come into their home to relax before being taken back outside.

A good turnout from Kenilworth Runners was rewarded with two top-20 finishers at the third race of the Gloucester League Cross Country at Pittville Park in Cheltenham.
The race consisted of two laps for the ladies (6k) and three laps for the men (9.1k), including a stream crossing on each lap.
There was a problem in the senior men's race where many runners were given official times which were up to two minutes slower than the time on the runners' own watches.
The league is still trying to ascertain what happened so the times mentioned are the 'official' times.
Eighteen men and seven ladies made the 50-mile round trip for Kenilworth, with Phil Gould (13th in 32:54) and Peter Hawkins (16th in 33:25) helping the men's A team to finish sixth on the day.
Kenilworth's B team finished 13th and the C team 24th, while the veterans were fifth.
Eoin O'Flynn was the first Leamington C&AC runner home in 58th place with a time of 36:34, followed by Craig Bower (64th in 36:48) and Mike Denney (94th in 38:25).
The scoring team was completed by Nick Tawney (100th in 38.39), Steve Roberts (129th in 40:12) and Noel Butler (185th in 45:09).
Graham Roberts was 186th (45:17) and Rupe Chalal 209th (51:02).
The team finished 14th and the masters were seventh.
Graham Rush of Cheltenham won the race in 30:28.
In the ladies' race, Kenilworth A finished 11th, with their B team 21st.
Danielle Mohacsi (27:56)was first counter for Kenilworth, followed by Stef Lunn(28:52) and Rebecca Smith (29:27).
Only two senior C&AC ladies ran. Angela Chalal was 18th (3rd V40) in 26:15 while Susie Tawney's time of 26:32 gave her 21st place and first in her age category.
Selected others (Kenilworth Runners unless stated): 51, Marc Curtis (36:12); 53, Matt Dyer (36:22); 61, Dave Ramus (36:42); 75, Richard Broadbent (37:26); 85, Simon Corley (38:01); 86, Dewi Williams (38:02); 88, Roger Homes (38:10); 95, Wayne Briggs (38:26); 117, Neil Sheward (39:27); 122, Stewart Underhill (39:34); 149, Dave Pettifer (42:00); 160, Robert Willis (45:26); 175, Martin Smith (44:08); 202, Simon Mottershead (48:52); 206, Stef Shillington (50:10); 207, Tom Dable (50:25).
Leamington C&AC's junior boys continued their fine form to keep themselves in contention for end-of-season team medals.
The under-17 men were the first team home, led by Matthew Woodhouse in eighth place in a time of 22:25.
In the under-15 boys' race, the A team were second and the B team fifth.
Kieran Chalal was second in 20:04, followed by Alex Ibbs (4th in 20:39) and Greg West (8th in 21:12).
Toby Loveday (21;54) was first home for the B team in 14th with the team completed by Tim Virr (18th in 23:03) and Dominic Priest (19th in 23:45).
The under-13 boys came third, led by Cian McIntyre, who was sixth in 10:28.
He was followed by Will Eadon (11th in 10:51), Daniel Chalal (21st in 11:41) and Sebastian Priest (28th in 12:25).

Haunted Skies May bank Holiday update!
Preserving the history of the UFO Phenomena
The above Photo is of Val Walters and shows the UFO she and her two companions saw in July 1981. Illustration compiled by David Sankey.
Val: "The photo is spot on and makes me go all goose-pimply" Photo (c) May 2013 John Hanson. This case will be covered in Volume 9 1981-1983
Hi Everybody, I thought I would update you regarding the progress of Volume 8 which is currently waiting another final proof check, this involves printing off the pages as well as checking the print ready PDF.This costs quite a bit of money.But is the only way to ensure that errors are minimal.
We can tell you that this book has been split into 12 chapters, and thatit is a new breed of Haunted Skies Books published by myself andunder my control. Sometimes people don't realise that this is a 'rolling road' of UFO re- investigations, involving trip far and wide all at our own expense. These books are not about us they belong to everyone it is their history we are trying to preserve.
Half of Volume 8 is committed to not only the events of the *RFI but what has taken place during the interviewing years. We have spent an enormous amount of money on this project and have only made peanuts in return, but its not about making money its about at least trying to create some awareness through the books, which we believe will grow in momentum, with Volume 8 and 9 of Haunted Skies.(Rendlesham Forest Incident
I could have published Volume 8 and onwards in black and white and increased the size of the publisher's compensation, but I have chosen to publish in colour because I think people want to see some incredible images in colour. I hope I don't have to increase the price of this Volume (A third larger for the same amount of money if I do it will be a pound or two….I cant sell book at a huge loss, as I need some money to plough into the next one, each and every Volume cost me approx £500 for the work to be typeset into the book by Bob Tibbitts. But he is making fantastic job of it and I thank him for all of his much valued assistance.
Bob is more than willing to discuss with anybody that is interested in geting their own book published via (Print ready PDF) a life dream for most of us. He is highly recommended and has a lifetime in the print industry, so if anyone wants him to build up a print ready PDF with all of your photographs, and text, whether it be 'Our favourite cats' 'My old Mum and Dad,' or a 'Scientific study of the Universe', Bob is the man! He can be contacted on isetcdart@tiscali.co.uk. This way you get your book in print something for the grandkids....or a precious gift to a loved one!
Volume 9 is progressing it will cover the period 1981-1983, we are currently reviewing
July 1981 and have already consumed nearly 100 pages of the proposed 420page book
I have to say that still after 3 years I am spending at least 8-10-12 hoursa day in putting the raw text together for Dawn to then proof read and edit. We would also like to thank people like Wendy Milner,David Bryant, Robert Townshend, David Sankey, Wayne Mason,
Steve Franklin, Jason Chapman, Pip Foster and others all of whom have produced images for us for nothing from the bottom of their heart,not forgetting Janet and Colin Bord who have allowed us access to their images……..Thank you both for your help…
Thank you to Philip Mantle for his invaluable help, and also Kevin Goodman for plugging Haunted Skies during many podcasts.regards to you Kev and your lovely Aunt Bessie!
The photo below is of Dawn on the right of course, and Doreen Turley whose husband Chief Inspector Len Turley was in charge of the Police investigation into the Washwood Heath stone throwing saga in 1981.This has been investigated by us and will be in Volume 9
Hopefully the people that read the online magazine Matrix will have the opportunity of being able to read something about the progress of Haunted Skies thanks to David Franklyn of Healing of Atlantis for promising to get the latest books onto the website, and thanks go to Matt Lyons head of BUFORA for his support. Thank goodness they have all helped us because otherwise these books would never have been produced….Thank you all for your help……John Hanson and Dawn Holloway (Dawn seen here relaxing on a short break to sunny Devon) Did you ever see so many darned midges!! 3rd photo seal off Buck Mills coast, being chased by a seagull. 4th Photo Mum and offspring.

Haunted Skies April 2013
Dedicated to Mrs Elsie Oakensen
It with regret that we discovered Elsie Oakensen passed away some time ago,she was a lovely lady and loved by all. Sadly she never saw the front cover of Volume 7 which depicts the UFO she saw in 1978. Pictured on the left Dawn on the right.....
Volume 7 produced by us has a look inside search facility on Amazon.
Volume 8 which is in colour has been finally completed.
Unfortunately we ran out of room, and had to leave it at
420 pages. The book covers the first 11 months of 1980
followed by our examination of the events that took place
in Rendlesham Forest a mind boggling 32years ago!
Although the book is finished it will not be published without
getting it approved from certain paries invovled in the book,
we anticpate that it will be published in June followed by Volume
Yesterday I was speaking to Brenda about her forthcoming
new book published by Capel Ban publishers written by her
and Philip Kinsella, which is hoped to be out in June 2013.
Volume 9 which covers the period 1981- to hopefully 1985
is also ongoing. At the moment I am scanning in the various
images from each year, and Dawn has began proofing the
pages before they are sent to Bob Tibbitts who prepares the
word ready PDF which will be sent off to the printers
Lightning Sources
If anyone has information regarding UFO sightings or UFO
groupsor anything they would like us to use please in the books
can they contact us.
We are still looking for people who may wish to submit illustrations
for the book, they are in short supply…..But so far we have managed
ok. Robert Townsend who paints the images has been sending us
some thanks so much Robert for all of your help.
Went to the Hot Shots snooker hall in Oldbury a few nights ago and had
a great talk with David Hodrien, his Dad and other members of BUFOG.
It was a four hour talk followed by a two hour talk in the car outside McDonalds
really enjoyable evening. We have nothing but praise for Dave and his group
we felt very much part of the family! By the way Kevin Goodman you left your
Aunt Bessie apple pie in the corner behind after your last talk!
Richard Hall came to see some weeks ago, here is a picture of him. At the
moment we are struggling to get hold of him to send the images relating to
Volume 5 and 6 of which he interviewed me about.....
I was saddened to hear of Reg Presley passing away, I never met him
personally but enjoyed chatting to him over the years.

Sad news from Don (Im sorry its late getting onto the blog) one of his kitten was

This woman appeared on the This Morning TV a couple of weeks ago, the producer
telephoned me and asked me if I knew any women that had been abducted
who wanted to go on the show! I did not delegate anyone- it denigrates the whole
subject -apart from that I felt this is not the sort of article below which I would
want children to see on the front page of the Bexleyheath Heath London based News
Shopper newspaper. I made a complaint and sent them this letter....but they never
printed it although they printed others..
Dear News shopper,
I felt I had to respond to your recent article relating to ex Policewoman
Stephaney Cohen, and her alleged communication with a breed of
Reptilians that have offered her bodily comfort amongst other things!
As a retired Police Officer from the West Midlands Police who spent half
of his service in the CID and then 20 years of research into the UFO subject
with now 7 Volumes of Haunted Skies published cataloguing reported British
UFO activity up to 1980 I appreciate that I can neither prove nor disprove the
claims made by Stephaney Cohen but I regard some of her comments as
untrustworthy and unworthy of comment.
I feel that some criticism should be made about the content of this article with
regard to what I feel are inappropriate sexual comments which while
relished and mulled over on breakfast TV are surely not what I would have
expected from the News Shopper which is read by adults and young children
Articles like this which pamper to the needs of the media who insist
(irrespective of the era) on putting their own 'spin' on the UFO subject
(borne from scepticism and lack of education about the chosen subject)
with a constant need to denigrate 'UFO' sightings and present it as tongue
in cheek rather than having the courage to face up the reality that the UFO
presence is here –to stay.
UFO sighting from Australia
Massive UFO sighting, multiple credible witnesses.
After UFO-PRSA last monthly meeting last Wednesday April 10th six of our committee and members were standing talking in the carpark area, myself, Dom, Darren, Kellie, Mike and Mark. It was around 10.45pm and it was a beautiful clear night sky. While we were talking we were casually monitoring the sky, as one does, watching two aircraft approaching. At first they were side by side, one had the distinguishable red and green lights and strobe flashing it was definitely a plane, we could hear it. The other caught our attention, it was bigger, brighter no strobing and no red and green navigational lights. We were commenting on this as we watched them overhead, the aeroplane stayed on course, from east to west while the other one overtook the aeroplane veering off to the south. We were still speculating about this seconds later when Darren, still looking up, called out what the .... is that, can you see that guys? We all looked up and witnessed this massive craft passing overhead travelling south. It was triangular, boomerang shape, with some type of construction attatched to it, no lights, no noise and it blocked out the stars as it passed. We were all gob smacked, none of us has ever seen anything like this before and we have seen our share of craft and lights in the sky over the years of nightwatching. Attatched is a sketch of what we saw, drawn by Mark.
Myself and 10 or so members had a similar sighting about 6 years ago standing in the carpark talking after a meeting. It was around 10.30pm and we were gathered in the Campbelltown Library carpark ( close to the Arts Centre ) Laszlo drew our attention to a silent object passing overhead. This too was massive, triangular shape but had it's lights on, forming the shape of an arrow. It was silent and blocking out the stars as it passed, so we knew it was a solid object..
Have a look at the sketch, has anyone ever seen anything like this before, we would be interested to know, thank you.

Haunted Skies Blog returns!
We are always on the look out for Illustrators who are prepared to see
their work in the books if you can help please contact us.Thank you so much
Robert Townshend for your hand painted contributions what a very pleasant man
you are,it was a pleasure to talk to you......
Volume 8 progresses towards completion 80% there!
I am sorry that I have been out of touch for the last few weeks; this was
due to the sheer intentsity of work load involved in writing up the Rendlesham
Forest incident for the end of December 1980, for Volume 8 (1980)!
Hi from Rendlesham Forest !
This has without doubt been the hardest task that I have come across so far mainly
because it is so demanding, having to ensure that the many photographs match the
script, but I now anticipate that this chapter (page 217 to page 350 )will come to an
end within the next fortnight.
Aunt Betty has been in touch pointing out there are some typoografical herrors
in the Blog, sorry about this but Betty but you will appreciate that we are preety
snowed under here with publishing writing, investigating etc.... I know that you
are a hard working person, so will consider your very kind invitation and thank you
so much for all of your assistance with rasing the profile of what we are trying to do
Us in the Alvechurch Village Magazine on line all over the World
next time you come to see us there will be an extra helping of custard!
If the book goes to 300 pages the cost should be the same i.e £14.99, but I will advise accordingly,bearing in mind that at the end of the day I have to make something,
rather than run at a loss.
The Sun & Metro Newspapers –UFO over Birmingham
I see that the Sun and Metro newspaper covered the sighting by the Police dog handler, in their usual tongue in cheek fashion judging by the banner grabbing headline! This was the same newspaper that asked for Volume 1 a couple of years ago and promised to publish an article about us, the silence is deafening,!
To add insult to injury I came across a reference to this case on UFO Data website while trying to get in touch with Russell Callaghan. Oddly there were only two sightings on this web page; one was the Birmingham UFO sighting. There was no indication of who put this material on this web page, although it was originally the domain of Russell Callaghan, if anyone can put me in touch that would be much appreciated. If Nick Pope had said this
(which I doubt) surely this is imagination run riot. For a start no aircraft were scambled to my knowledge!
I have no idea where this illustration has come from the Officer saw a light not a spaceship!
A police officer claimed that he had seen a UFO moving at super sonic speeds when he was off duty driving near the Birmingham airport. The officer reported that he had seen a 'light with a bluish tinge' that 'pulsed rhythmically' and zoomed off. A colleague then called the air traffic control and they said that nothing had been seen on their systems. The unnamed officer had this to say: 'I noticed a light in the sky which was pulsing rhythmically. It was very bright and had a bluish tinge to it,' the website reported the officer as saying.' I thought at first that it was a plane. Then I realized, as it was only a single light, this was not likely to be the case.' Besides, I had never seen an aircraft in that part of the sky.' UFO expert Nick Pope, said: 'This could be the real thing – a UFO in our airspace and military aircraft scrambled to intercept.'
Richard D Hall came to interview us for Vol-5-6-7
Letter sent to newspaper recently-
Preserving the British UFO Social History How it all began
As a retired Police Officer who spent nearly 30years in the West Midlands Police force, I would like to say that if while on duty or otherwise some one had come up to me and reported having seen aliens or flying saucers. I would have believed they were either suffering from alcoholic intoxication or mentally unbalanced!
However my attitude was to change when my son Chris then a serving P.C. with the same force was asked to interview a Doctor who had seen something unusual flying through the sky over Moseley Birmingham in January 1995.Following that interview he and his colleague witnessed a saucer shaped object hovering above a tree in a suburb a short distance away.
My first response was to wonder if my son was playing practical joke but as he seemed serious I decided to conduct my own research wondering if such things existed. Over the space of some months I contacted a number of people who had witnessed a similar phenomenon at about the same time. Although the local newspapers had suggested it was a meteorite, I felt it highly unlikely this was to be the case and decided as time went by and other witnesses contacted me about their strange sightings to write a book, along with my partner Dawn Marina Holloway.
We decided the best course of action was to accumulate as much evidence as we could find and form our own conclusions based on direct interviews rather than second hand information. Obviously as the years passed away this wasn't always possible, but we persevered feeling that this was valuable English social history, and should be preserved .It shouldn't be ignored or treated in the main with tongue in cheek comments, by the Nationals which in the main has always been their attitude(apart from the local newspapers) We have now published Seven Volumes cataloguing the events from 1940-179, which should give an indication of how prolific the sightings have been during those years. Volume 7 is on Amazon .com (2013) and we invite you to have a look inside the book as there is a facility for the reader to do this. At the moment we are working on Volume 8 which covers just 12months of British UFO history this will include our write up of the incident at Rendlesham Forest Suffolk in December 1980.
When Volume 1 was published we sent copies of the book to various National newspapers including the Daily Telegraph ,who asked for them unfortunately we have never had one article published on us which seems rather odd, bearing in mind that we have been promised much but have been given little.
If there is one thing we have done it is to preserve the history of the British UFO phenomena but the silence is deafening, will this email change the things I doubt it, but one this is assured the books will continue to be published as we feel this is important evidence based on eyewitness testimonials from, senior RAF officers, Police Officers and members of scientific based community who have never stated they saw aliens or spaceships, just that this is what we saw -make of what you will.
Haunted Skies Journal 2.2.2013
Haunted Skies Journal 2nd February 2013
UFOs the ongoing story! 420 Pages covering a mere
2years of British UFO Activity!
We have now arranged for a look inside facility to be
placed onto Amazon so that people can read selected parts of the book. By the way we are pleased about the sales of this book, it appears to have outstripped all of the other put together!
Currently we are working on the final month of Volume 8, which covers the period from Janaury 1980-December 1980. The first 11months wer'nt so bad, but sorting out the hundreds of images for December 1980 has without doubt been the hardest job we have ever taken on, never mind the 60 pages of script! Hence the fact that we have not blogged much, sorry to everyone
out there, who have supported us so far.
This is a rare photograph of Sarah Falkland the Midlands News reader.
She has had one of our books and found it fascinating! Sadly as you
all know the Nationals have refused to publicise any of our work,
never mind the local TV. One thing we thrive on is adversity!
Here are some images you may like,first of all my beautiful daughter

Alvechurch Village Magazine
This is a copy of the text sent to Richard Peach for inclusion in the next Magazine which is on line and goes all round the World.
It seemed the right opportunity to check out the on going series of Books entitled Haunted Skies which are being written and now published right in the heart of our Village.
The reader may remember that we published an article about retired police officer John Hanson and his partner Dawn Holloway endeavours to record the history of UFO/strange phenomena in our July/August 2011 issue.
Volume 7 which is the couples latest offering was published by John himself owing to the fact that after over two years the couple were finding the constant trips back and forwards to their Devon based publisher sometimes twice a month arduous and very costly.
John" This Volume covers the events which took place between 1978 and 1979, and shows through its astonishing number of pages(420 in total) that activity was rife in and around the skies of the UK.
We didn't intend to make this a large book but balanced the cost of the extra postage incurred against our policy not to leave anything out, as this forms part of our very important British Social UFO History. In addition to this just when we had thought we had completed it, a London based UFO researcher from the 1970's sent us over 100 previously unpublished files from their study group"
I asked John if he had any personal views or opinions as to the source of the many hundreds if not thousands of sighting reports documented in the now published Volumes- 3 (1966-1967) Volume 4 (1968-1971) Volume 5 (1972-1974) and the Jubilee Volume 6 (1975-1977) a copy of which was dedicated to Her Royal Majesty and sent to Buckingham Palace.
"UFO reports go back many thousands of years in our opinion. Currently we are in the process of completing Volume 8 which covers 1980. This will include a scrapbook section and also an update on other cases brought too our attention in colour! We are still looking for Illustrators that may be prepared to help us and are hoping to get Volume 7 onto Kindle very soon!"
John told me about Hans a German soldier who was serving on the Russian front in 1944 when thousands of German and Russian troops saw a silver cigar shaped object appear in the sky. This matter was reported to Berlin and presumably Adolf Hitler himself. Rather anecdotally the German soldiers knew the war was going badly for them after they captured a convoy of American trucks containing tons of chocolate! On a more sober note Hans returned to the regiment after being wounded and found only one comrade remained alive from the ongoing conflict.
Another strange report found in Volume 1 came from Lesley Grant a British Serviceman, who was driving a captured German tank at Arnhem, in 1944 when he was warned by an officer not to go any further. Curiosity got the better of him when he had look he saw a landed grey saucer shaped object. When he tried to approach it he found himself being stopped by what felt like an invisible cushion.
John," We came across a similar story involving milkman John Payne who was having a break at Winkleigh Airfield Devon when he saw what looked like a submarine shaped object with fins lying on the runway. He too was prevented from getting any closer by what he described as an invisible cushion, that you could actually lean on. He wasn't
the only one a journalist from a Reading Newspaper tried to get close to a landed UFO during 1967. Unfortunately this was around the time when a number of bleeping flying saucers' were discovered at various locations around the UK. When the Police opened them they found they had been filled with fertilizer: - part of a students rag day' prank! So the journalist never published what she had seen, but the story was known at the time to her colleagues who had been with her at the time
Recently as a result of an appeal in a Police Magazine John and Dawn were contacted by anumber of officers from Superintendent down to PC who brought
to their attention the following incidents,
1- A report of ball lightning, by a cadet on lollipop patrol in the 1960's,
2- A Special Constable from Kent who was with two other officers when they saw three black disc shaped object moving over the sky in formation at Minnis Bay, Birchington -on –Sea, way back in the 1950's.
3-A retired PC from the Nottinghamshire Constabulary told of an object that had landed in 1976.
4- A retired London Police Sergeant was on duty at the Police Station when a family came in to report having seen a mysterious green globe land in nearby marshes. A search was carried out but nothing was found. When the Sergeant contacted Fylingdales in Yorkshire they told him to send a motorcycle officer up the next morning with the report.
5- A report from a retired Superintendent, of nine lights seen
moving in formation over Gillingham Kent in 1966.
6- A retired Detective Inspector from Oxfordshire was on patrol during the early hours of the morning when his Police car struck an invisible object and ended up pointing the wrong way at Kidlington in 1978. This may sound quite humorous and impossible to believe but the car's roof was squashed down 18inches from whatever it collided with
totally inexplicable.
But what's behind all of this I asked John, "The million dollar question, the simple answer is we don't know and are not prepared to speculate. But surely at the end of the day matters such as these are not only worth investigating but recording. They form part of our social history"

Haunted Skies.Trip to Wiltshire.
Haunted Skies Update January 14th 2013
Today Monday the 14th I went to the Post Office and posted signed copies of Haunted Skies books to various people that had ordered them from me. The 2nd class postage for the earlier Volumes is now costing me £1.90 for 320 pages.
Volume 7 is now classed as a 'packet' appropriate bearing in mind its costs us a packet of £3.50 to send the book, which I am well aware of but we didn't have much of a choice; the work is far too important not to publish. Under the circumstances if anyone wants a copy of Volume 7 signed and sent to them I would ask them if they were prepared to help us by contributing £1.50 towards the postage for Volume 7 and £1 for any of the earlier Volumes. This is more than fair as for the last 2 and half years I have have been paying the postage on every book out of my own pocket, not forgetting Volume 7 has 100 extra pages of information!
Volume 8 (1980) is still being worked on, and will be in colour which is quite exciting, although we haven't settled on a front cover yet.
Trip to gloomy Wiltshire
On Saturday last my son Alex and his girlfriend Sonja accompanied by her young son 'Ollie' decided to visit the delights of Wiltshire, taking in the sights of West Kennet
Longbarrow,
Alex and Sonja freezing their butts off!
West kennet Longbarrow a dark and brooding day!
Silbury Hill, in its magnificence!
Adams Grave, Avebury, and the delightful 'Barge pub' now ran by Amanda and her partner. The first photo was where the ladeis toilet was before alterations. They are in the process of re turfing the strip of land that was the seating area and have placed a sarsen stone in the middle.
The Haunted Skies project is the brainchild of John Hanson and Dawn Holloway, who - for the past fifteen years - have been collecting material for a multi-volume encyclopaedia of British UFOs from 1940 to the present day.
Volume One (1940-1959), Volume Two (1960-1965), Volume Three (1966-7), and Volume Four (1968-71) are already available and the fifth volume (1972-1974) will be available soon. This blog follows their progress, and is a conduit via which material that wouldn't fit into the books can be disseminated..


How long have you been at HBS?
I have been working at HBS for almost 4 years, but I've been a Recruiting Relations Manager for a year and a half. Before joining Career & Professional Development (CPD), I worked for the HBS Social Enterprise Initiative. In that role I provided support for MBA student programming and coordinated the office's event planning. It's really interesting to have experienced two different departments around campus and I'm glad to have had the opportunity.
What is the best part about working with employers?
I love working with recruiters and especially enjoy helping smaller organizations increase their brand awareness on campus. All companies have their own timelines for recruiting and their own unique goals. As a Recruiting Relations Manager, I am here to offer guidance throughout the whole process and to help recruiters with their overall recruiting strategy.
We know you managed Dedicated Interview Period – tell us about that experience.
Managing Dedicated Interview Period was a busy, but fun experience! With the support of others on the CPD team, I managed the logistics for over 100 organizations interviewing on campus in search of summer interns. I always enjoy meeting recruiters face-to-face and the Dedicated Interview Period is a great chance to do this. It's also rewarding to know that this work helped so many students get their dream summer internships.
You may have already emailed or spoken with me as Harley Gillen, but I changed my last name recently to Munsell. I got married in October and enjoyed the entire wedding process immensely! I'm slowly getting used to the new last name and hope that all of my recruiting partners will, too!


The standard Asus BIOS for this motherboard doesn't support booting a Samsung XP941 NVMe SSD (MZHPU512HCGL-00000). Using the MMTool Aptio a bootable BIOS was generated by using the Samsung_M2_DXE from a Asrock BIOS. This steps are only appropriate for motherboards with AMI BIOS. At the time of writing the UBU (UEFI BIOS Updater) v1810 supports Aptio 4 BIOS - newer X99 chipset boards are not supported by this version.
This documentation is the minimum I had to do to get the BIOS booting. I managed not to brick the motherboard. I also opened a support ticket with ASUS but that has proven to be fruitless. This should serve as a good advertisement for the BIOS support in Asrock motherboards.
Download the UBU rar from rghost.net and put the files into a directory. This procedure uses the 'mmtool.exe' executable. Reading some of the the following information on the UBU tools might be useful.
Once complete I was able to boot the machine directly into Windows x64 v7 (SP1).
I tried extracting the SAMSUNG_M2_DXE file (1AC7EE15-1290-402C-80E9-F45A86E43F71) from two BIOS. It was a different size in each case. The first was from an Asrock Z97 Extreme6 BIOS. The second one I tried from an Asrock 'Fatal1ty 990FX Killer' v1.30 BIOS worked so I used that (the BIOS was new and it's description included "Improve M.2 compatibility" and "support NVME"). No investigation into the differences was made.
Insert the extracted DXE file into the latest version of the motherboard BIOS.

eTraces
eTraces is a three-year collaborative project funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research in which the GCDH is partnering with the Natural Language Processing Group at Leipzig University and the GESIS – Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences in Bonn. The project uses state-of-the-art as well as newly developed text mining methods to analyse text re-use – ranging from so-called "winged words" (geflügelte Worte) to literal quotations – in German language literature between 1500 and 1900 and social science texts since 1909.
GCDH is involved in the sub-project that focuses on the reception of the German Bible as evidenced in citations over the history of German literature. As a textual base, the sub-project is using the zeno.org-corpus, which contains over 1.8 million unique words in a corpus comprising more than 130 million words and is now freely available via "TextGrid" (www.textgrid.de). Pursuing a text mining approach will, for example, allow the validation (or falsification) of theories putting forward the secularisation of German culture, in general, and literature, in particular, as well as the tendency of literature towards aesthetic autonomy. Is there a diminishing frequency pattern of quotations from the Bible, as one could assume from a theory of secularisation, or is there merely a shift in the particular books being quoted or the way they are quoted? Does literature become more and more self-referencing over time, as the thesis of the aesthetic of autonomy predicates?
In the medium term, the sub-project aims at developing reliable text mining tools for literary scholarship, allowing scholars to analyse very large corpora of texts. The aim is also to paradigmatically enhance the historical and hermeneutical methods used in literary studies to also include quantitative, statistical and formalistic ones. The hope is to show that formal-algorithmic methods can be used to pose old research questions more precisely and new questions for the first time.

Letters to the Editor: the inbox
European frontiers, August 2nd
By The Economist | LONDON
SIR - Achal Prakash (
, August 2nd) comments ironically that, "following your train of thought we may as well envelop the whole world into the EU and have one grand party".
He might like to know that many of the early European federalists (including William Beveridge, C.E.M. Joad and Arnold Toynbee in Britain thought in world terms of going beyond inter-state co-operation (with the failure of the League of Nations fresh in their minds).
World federation remains an unattainable dream, perhaps, but the European Union has developed an evolving model that has caught the world's eye and inspired a number of imitations in other regions.
Martin Westlake
SIR – Mr Prakash needs to revise his geography. Turkey has never been called Asia Minor, which is a (large) part of Turkey, but three of its provinces and two of its largest cities (Istanbul and Edirne) are located in Europe.

I am Ian Maw, Director of Marketing at Harrison Hot Springs Resort & Spa and when time permits, the volunteer chair of Tourism Harrison, our village's Destination Marketing Organisation. As printed on this same page three years ago at election time, I again have the pleasure of correcting some misinformation included in an election flyer entitled Food for Thought.
Overnight guests in the village subsidize Tourism Harrison not the residents. The bulk of Tourism Harrison's revenues come as a result of a 2% tax on hotel, motel and B&B guest rooms located in the village. The taxpayers of Harrison Hot Springs provide less than 10% of the annual operating costs of the `Tourist Office` or about $39,000 (this contribution from the village was in place when candidate Allen was mayor).
The Visitors Centre (Tourism Office) is open in the off season with reduced hours because visitors don't stop coming to Harrison Hot Springs. There are a number of tourism centres and offices open year round in British Columbia, our industry doesn't close when the weather becomes less appealing.
Our seven year old Ford Escape was purchased utilizing visitors tax dollars and was paid off three years ago. It is put to very good use and acts as a rolling village marketing device.
The size (area) of the community has nothing to do with the power it has as a tourism destination. Harrison Hot Springs enjoys more overnight hotel, motel and B&B stays than the City of Chilliwack, a city 50 times the size of Harrison in terms of land area.
It is the job of Tourism Harrison to provide marketing support to this community as a travel destination. More visitors to Harrison Hot Springs results in a sustainable and relatively clean industry that generates tax revenue to the community that can then offer more services at a reduced cost to the village taxpayer. If you have any questions regarding the above, I am available in my office at the Resort from Monday to Friday.
In future, may I recommend that those seeking election in Harrison Hot Springs read this newspaper on a regular basis as a means of becoming fully prepared when they run for office, it may result in success!
