Approximately 50 people, including many Mexican immigrants, joined in Spanish song, call-and-response chants and speeches to advocate for justice for the students who were from the College of Ayotzinapa on September 26.
The Montreal demonstration comes after a protest was held in Mexico City on Friday demanding answers from the government regarding the whereabouts of the 43 individuals. The students were allegedly attacked by municipal police, who subsequently ordered them to be murdered by local criminals, according to Mexico's Attorney General in multiple reports.
Erika Arrieta, who is originally from Chihuahua, Mexico and moved to Canada 12 years ago, became visibly upset and apologized for her emotions when discussing the situation. She said government corruption is "normal" in Mexico and Mexicans are mostly accustomed to it.
Arrieta, who said she used to work for the Mexican government, compared her experiences growing up in Mexico to living in Canada for over a decade. She called the Canadian system "strong" and said there is "respect for human rights" here.
Eva Garcia Diaz, who originally hails from Uruapan, Mexico, was one of the main organizers of the event. She said that she is angry and sad about the missing students and added that she hopes her children never have to witness such incidents again.
The goal of the demonstration was to show their support from Montreal and to illustrate to Montrealers that Mexico is unsafe and in need of security, Diaz continued.
Gerhard Favela, who is from Durango, Mexico, echoed Arrieta's sentiments and said that it's one of the saddest events Mexicans have experienced in the past few years. He added that the human rights conditions in his native country are "unacceptable" and that his people should not accept this state.
"The whole attitude of the government, which have tried to downplay the event, has been completely unacceptable," Favela said.
The nighttime demonstration of solidarity and support in Montreal was important to put pressure on the government to act, as incidents like this are not "isolated" or "outliers" in Mexico, according to Favela.

A Brief History of Ararat Primary School
Monday May 15, 1865 was the first day of operation of Ararat Common School which later became Ararat State School and then Ararat Primary School. First known as the Ararat Common School No. 800, the school was created and opened on the Ararat goldfields following the amalgamation of the Church of England School No. 10 and the Presbyterian School No. 13. With the approval of the Board of Education, the small denominational school buildings were used, but by October 1865, 230 children were enrolled so the decision was made to erect a school on a site purchased in High Street Ararat for £55.00. The foundation stone of his building (now the front section of the Ararat Fitness Centre complex) was laid by George Thompson, and the final contract payment of £1,180 for erection of the building was made in March 1868.
Although May 15 marks 150 years since the school's establishment, it hasn't always been in the same location. By 1873, the High Street school was quite inadequate for the enrolment of new students and, before the end of the year, the Board of Advice requested the Minister of Public Instruction to reserve five acres at the intersection of Moore and King Streets as a school site - the current school site. The school is anticipating a further sesquicentenary celebration in 10 years time, when Ararat Primary 800 at Moore Street turns 150.
Tenders were called for a brick building designed by Henry Bastow, along the lines of the 'Philadelphia Schools', which were highly fashionable in educational circles at that time. The successful tenderer was G.W.H. Grano, and the construction price was £5,509. The Honorable W. McLellan MLA laid the foundation stone and the current school building was opened in November 1875 with an enrolment of 509 children. An eastern wing at Ararat Primary was provided for in construction but never built.
Interestingly, Beechworth Primary School is a twin to Ararat Primary School, but is complete, with a symmetrical layout of a wing at each end - and it still has its bell tower.
By 1902, structural changes were needed to implement the new policy of reducing the size of classes. These were made in 1908 and included the improvement of lighting and classroom re-arrangement, with windows through internal walls and larger external windows to let in more natural light. In 1912, plans were drawn for further changes to be made by the Public Works Department to provide for 632 students. This resulted in the removal of the central bell tower and spire and the erection of wooden offices across the front of the school, where the offices and entrance now sit. This work was completed during 1914. Further renovations and upgrades have taken place over the years, with the biggest refurbishment occurring 12 years ago, which included the construction of the front entrance and rammed earth facade.
Visitors to the school are known to occasionally ask where the number '800' comes from? The reason is historical, as all schools are given a registration number upon establishment. In theory, Ararat Primary School was the 800th established in Victoria.

Home The 10 Most Admired Women CEOs Follow in 2022_Profile Story
Melonie Kotchey: Revolutionizing HealthCare
Melonie Kotchey is the Founder and CEO of Compassionate Certification Centers(CCC). Named after the Compassionate Care Act of 1995, CCC is dedicated to fundamentally changing the healthcare experience for patients suffering from chronic health conditions through its medical marijuana certification, CBD consultations, and holistic wellness services.
Melonie is a focus-driven entrepreneur with over two decades of experience in biotech, pharma, textiles, medical marijuana, e-commerce, and healthcare consulting industries. She has pursued a B.S. in Biology – Pre-Medicine, a B.S. in Marketing, and M.B.A. in Health Care Administration and Medical Billing & Coding. She is also a member of the advisory board for The American Society of Cannabis Pharmacists and has volunteered for various organizations, including the mitochondrial foundation and veterans organizations, since 1995.
"As an investor in the medical cannabis space, I first was a member of investors who vetted opportunities. I also suffered from chronic pain and broke many bones while doing water spots and racing dirt bikes over my lifetime. I became a patient and traveled throughout the United States, testing other states' programs and studying the market. I became a patient and realized how long we must go in the industry for medical cannabis to be treated as medicine. Right now, it is tough to find the right strains/timing/delivery system of THC to CBD ratios; we have come a long way with our company in helping refine this."– states Melonie.
Currently, CCC has thousands of children who no longer face seizures and have renewed with the organization for five years. With so many success stories, almost all patients return to CCC every year for treatment as they can be honest with the doctors. As an organization, CCC never judges people for being on medical cannabis and believes it can work like a miracle for several people.
"Leave your ego at the door, roll up your sleeves, get to work smart and love what you do, or move on!"
The Greatest Accomplishment
With its compassionate environment, attentive physicians, and unmatchable client experience CCC is far ahead of its competitors within the cannabis space. The firm has won the best company to work for three years in a row with the most votes in Pennsylvania. Once Melonie walked in and met a 34-year-old non-verbal patient who was getting treated with cannabis tincture. A year later, when that person returned to CCC's office for renewal, he was speaking normally, which was unbelievable.
Although a miracle, the strict laws, and taboos around the medical cannabis industry made it quite hard to get paid, open a bank account, or get an office space to operate. There's nothing easy about this business; Melonie says, "My greatest accomplishment is that after all we have been through, and all the people who quit, I am still here, and I am still happy to see the results we are; achieving."
Biggest Failure
Melonie believes that partnering with another well-educated entrepreneur is critical, and one should have a board of directors in place, not just partners. "Once you encounter a disagreement, and eventually everyone does, you need an objective third party to help navigate muddy waters. I chose a risk-averse business partner who didn't understand that you get out of business what you put into it and that you have to sacrifice more than you ever could imagine. Your time, hobbies, family, and whole life go on hold when you start a medical cannabis certification company and integrate other medicine."– she says.
While starting the business, Melonie was well aware of the fact that most people quit after 2-3 years, as they can't handle the daily stress and focus on their goals. That is something that Melonie has worked with every business partner; while some can handle and embrace it, others don't want anyone watching or telling them what to do.
She believes every leader should possess some essential traits, including good communication, understanding different people's expectations, and setting good expectations. She suggests, "Leave your ego at the door, roll up your sleeves, get to work smart and love what you do, or move on!"
Picture of the Bright Future
As an organization, CCC plans to merge with a dispensary; it would prefer to partner with their pharmacists and create a patient-oriented cohesive company. CCC has also added naturopathic medicine to its offerings for patients who are open to trying something outside their prescriptions. These naturopathic medicines can also help deal with several problems like endometriosis, anxiety, and pain, where cannabis may not be able to help completely.

WEAK AND UNSTABLE: Justice Minister QUITS Gov't over Theresa May's Brexit Policy
By Jordan James
A TORY MP has resigned from Theresa May's Government in protest at the her handling of Brexit.
Phillip Lee MP said he was standing down in order to "speak up" for his county.
He said: "I am incredibly sad to have had to announce my resignation as a minister in Her Majesty's Government so that I can better speak up for my constituents and country over how Brexit is currently being delivered."
The dramatic resignation comes shortly before the UK prime minister faces 48 hours of potentially knife-edge votes in the House of Commons.
In January, the now former justice minister was hauled before the Tory chief whip and disciplined for saying that a leaked government analysis raised a "serious question" about the government's approach to Brexit.
In a series of Tweets, the MP said he doubted whether Theresa May could "legitimately lead a country along a path that the evidence and rational consideration indicate would be damaging".
He avoided being sacked, but was told to "air his views in private" by the Conservative chief whip.

One morning when I was in downtown Thomasville, I was hungry and wanted a cup of coffee. GRASSROOTS COFFEE was the first place that came to mind! This coffee shop is not only a cool place but it has great coffee. They feature local art on the wall and the decor is comfortable yet very chic. You can sit at a table or lounge on comfortable furniture. It is the best place in town to have a cup of coffee or beverage of choice and use the wi-fi to catch up on my latest blog post or see what your friends are doing on Facebook. Some college students even work on their assignments!
The employees always seem happy so it must be a great place to work.
Grassroots Coffee is a busy place in the middle of downtown Thomasville on Broad Street. It offers the expected coffees and teas plus delicious food. After looking over the menu, I ordered a regular coffee and an egg biscuit. Since it was a lovely morning, I took my biscuit and coffee to a table outside.
If you visit Thomasville, make sure to grab a cup of coffee and something to eat at Grassroots Coffee. It is well worth the trip!


Good evening everyone! We are just about a week away from the first holiday of the 2013 holiday season. A time that will be spent amongst families and friends. Let me introduce you to the Parafati family, who also are a part of my family!
Meet Enzo, Katie, and their daughter Remy. Now, this was actually the first time that I was able to see and meet Remy, and let me tell you, what an energized little one she was. Katie, also a fellow photographer herself, reached out to me about taking photos of her, her husband, and daughter. Unfortunately it had been a while since I've seen Katie and Enzo, which is why I was very happy to hear from them and gladly accepted this session. She was a little sick of being behind the camera all the time, and wanted some photos taken of her for once (I think this is a common problem all us photographers face from time to time). So, we took a little trip out to Lyman's Orchard in Middlefield, Connecticut. It was such a nice, beautiful day. Quiet too. Long after all the leaf peepers and pumpkin pickers from the October crowds had diminished.
One little side note here, this is a first for me. I have never done a family session before, so I hope you all enjoy!
Her work with newborns, babies, and younger children is absolutely amazing! Glad to see this photo gene running in the family.

Q: How to run sonarqube on NetBSD According to the requirements document for sonarqube:

The only prerequisite for running SonarQube is to have Java (Oracle JRE 7 onwards or OpenJDK 7 onwards) installed on your machine.

I want now to use a NetBSD 7.0 machine to run a sonarqube server.
OpenJDK8 is installed:

openjdk version "1.8.0_77-internal"
  OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build
  1.8.0_77-internal-pkgsrc_1.8.77-b00)
  OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.77-b00, mixed mode)

However, sonarqube is using wrapper, and that software does not support NetBSD (FreeBSD is supported, but this is not close enough to serve as a working substitute).
I already tried using linux emulation mode. But, having a NetBSD native java being started from a linux emulated wrapper is not giving a usable configuration for runtime environment (libc version clashes, et. al.).
And installing a linux native openjdk8 and get the complete setup running in emulation mode is also not to be recommended.
With sonarqube 4.x (long ago) I had used war distribution
and this worked OK. But with this new environment I hoped for being able to use newer versions of sonarqube.
Questions:

*

*Is there a way to bypass wrapper and start sonarqube relying on java only?

*Alternatively, is there a way to get a NetBSD version of wrapper?

*Would I be better of dropping sonarqube alltogether,
given my target platform?

A: The version of Java Service Wrapper used by SonarQube does not support NetBSD. That's not as critical as for MSWindows. SonarQube can be easily started as a unix daemon without it. You just have to execute java -jar lib/sonar-application-{version}.jar from the installation directory.

In 2005, Dr. Elias Zerhouni, Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), wrote:
"It is the responsibility of those of us involved in today's biomedical research enterprise to translate the remarkable scientific innovations we are witnessing into health gains for the nation... At no other time has the need for a robust, bidirectional information flow between basic and translational scientists been so necessary."
In that publication, Dr. Zerhouni introduced his ideas to re-engineer the way clinical research was performed in the United States. With the doubling of the NIH budget in the past decade, and coincident completion of the Human Genome Project, there is a perceived need to translate products of the genome era into products for clinical care.
The American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA) recently added Translational Bioinformatics as one of its three major domains of informatics, defined as:
"...the development of storage, analytic, and interpretive methods to optimize the transformation of increasingly voluminous biomedical data into proactive, predictive, preventative, and participatory health. Translational bioinformatics includes research on the development of novel techniques for the integration of biological and clinical data and the evolution of clinical informatics methodology to encompass biological observations. The end product of translational bioinformatics is newly found knowledge from these integrative efforts that can be disseminated to a variety of stakeholders, including biomedical scientists, clinicians, and patients."
While the call for translational bioinformaticians was issued by none other than the Director of the NIH, and while translational bioinformatics is now one of AMIA's major domains of informatics, there was no national annual conference or symposium for the presentation and discussion of research work in Translational Bioinformatics. This changed in 2008 with the inaugural Summit on Translational Bioinformatics conducted by the American Medical Informatics Association in March 2008.
Three hundred and forty attendees, from 34 states in the US and 14 other countries, met over three days. The opening session keynote was by Dr. Alan Krensky, Director of Office of Portfolio Analysis and Strategic Initiatives (OPASI), and Deputy Director, National Institutes of Health. Dr. Krensky noted the significant growth in data generated by researchers, and discussed the new Trans-NIH role for OPASI and its role in the NIH Roadmap Process, and the importance of Biomedical Informatics within the Clinical and Translational Science Awards, the Immune Tolerance Network, and the National Centers for Biomedical Computing (NCBC). Forty-one papers were submitted to the Summit, of which twenty-seven were accepted by the Scientific Program Committee (Additional file 1). In addition to these papers, 3 tutorials and 11 panels were presented, including one involving all seven NCBC Directors. The final presentation was delivered by Dr. Russ Altman, highlighting a year-in-review of the literature in Translational Bioinformatics. Slides from most tutorials, papers, and panels are publicly available at http://www.amia.org/meetings/stb08/slides.asp and http://www.bisti.nih.gov/stafftalks/.
The fourteen papers selected for BMC Bioinformatics are extended and improved versions of the best papers accepted to the 2008 Summit of Translational Bioinformatics. In the following paragraphs, we briefly review them.
Four of these papers deal with the development and use of ontologies in Translational Bioinformatics. Shah et al. show how publicly-available gene expression experiments can be matched with data from a tissue microarray repository, by identifying ontology terms from their free-text descriptions and matching these concepts [1]. Mirhaji et al. present the design of their information integration platform under development [2]. Designed using Semantic Web technologies, their prototype system currently integrates in real time, structured and unstructured data from emergency room record systems across 8 urban hospitals. Rubin et al. write about their ontology-based model of neuroanatomy, showing how a prototype system built with this model can reason about normal and diseased neural connectivity [3]. Kunz et al. show how use of a repository of Common Data Elements can enable the construction of models within the National Cancer Institute's cancer Biomedical Informatics Grid (caBIG), enabling local repositories and software to interface faster with larger global infrastructure [4].
Two papers are in the area of representing clinical and molecular knowledge. Yang et al. built an automated gene summarization system and integrated this system with analysis methods, to enable biologists with lists of significantly implicated genes to gain more knowledge about their findings [5]. Garten et al. modified the Textpresso manuscript parsing system to find instances of pharmacogenomic relationships between genes and drugs [6]. Both manuscripts are particularly impressive because they include evaluation, with user scores or comparison against a gold standard.
Three papers were highlighted in the area of linking genes, variants, and proteins to phenotypes. Malovini et al. present a method to use Bayesian Networks to derive a multi-gene models based on single nucleotide polymorphism measurements, such as those typically obtained from genome-wide association studies [7]. Sam et al. present updates to PhenoGO, a system that extracts phenotypes from biological ontologies such as Cell Ontology, the Unified Medical Language System, the Mammalian Phenotype Ontology, and others [8]. Elkin et al. found relationships between genes and diseases or drugs using natural language processing of the medical literature, focusing on the New England Journal of Medicine [9].
Two papers highlighted new methods in bioinformatics of infectious diseases. Sintchenko et al. showed how biosurveillance could be performed by text-parsing genotype reports and comparing these to local or global profiles [10]. Liu et al. built a method to identify the presence of pathogens from multiplexed pan-viral and pan-microbial arrays [11].
Finally, three papers were chosen in the area of knowledge-based enablement of genetics. Tipney et al. built a probabilistic network of explicit and implicit knowledge from known pathways and protein complexes, then used this network to interpret gene expression microarray data related to facial dysmorphology [12]. Keller et al. built a system to parse biomedical keywords from the text descriptions of genes and uses these to consider genes across diseases [13]. Liu et al. showed how MeSH terms from MEDLINE records could be used to associated causal environmental factors with diseases, and how the effect of these environmental factors could be directly compared with genes with similar effects [14].
The next Summit on Translational Bioinformatics will be held on March 15-17, 2009 at the Grand Hyatt San Francisco.

Good News, Ladies! The Military-Industrial Complex Is Ours Now!
No one wants to consider if casually blowing things up is a good idea in the first place.
Lucy Steigerwald | 1.3.2019 5:40 PM
Sipa USA/Newscom
Is it good news that "the CEOs of four of the nation's five biggest defense contractors—Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics and the defense arm of Boeing—are now women"?
On Wednesday, Politico published an article called "How women took over the military-industrial complex." Though "military-industrial complex" always feels like a pejorative term, David Brown's piece strikes a positive note; it's written in that delicately faux-neutral fashion that presumes the institutions in question are swell, and that ladies in them sweller still. From helping to perpetuate a Yemen famine to spying on everyone, these ladies don't need no man, unless that man is military-aged and is underneath a Hellfire missile.
The recent midterms boasted a smorgasbord of diversity firsts. You don't have to be very old to remember when the idea of an openly gay governor would seem surprising. And yeah, straight white men dominating every other sexuality, gender, race, and creed isn't the answer to any good question. But the Hillary Clinton–ready logic of Wow, a WOMAN now runs the National Nuclear Security Administration feels, at best, like some serious wheel-spinning. And yet here we have women solemnly giving their lean-in tips on being in charge of a world-threatening nuclear arsenal.
When it comes to questions of institutional sexism, the Politico piece runs the gamut from A (Air Force Secretary Heather Wilson saying "We are the protectors; that's what the military does. We serve to protect the rest of you, and that's a very natural place for a woman to be") to B (National Nuclear Security Administration head Lisa Gordon-Hagerty assuring the author that it's not important when she's "the only woman in the room"). Both sentiments betray both the author's and his subjects' deeply conventional thinking about their gender and their place in the world and whether blowing up bits of it is a good idea.
It doesn't need saying that women who head Boeing or Lockheed Martin are not women who spend time questioning whether the U.S. should have a presence in 177 countries, or asking if the Department of Defense needs $686 billion for FY 2019. But weirdly, the idea that girls running the military would improve things has supporters beyond the Beyoncé-empowerment wing of feminism. No less than scholars Francis Fukuyama and Steven Pinker have argued that women could make the world a more peaceful place, and in Pinker's case, that they already have. Fukuyama more boldly suggested, "A truly matriarchal world, then, would be less prone to conflict and more conciliatory and cooperative than the one we inhabit now."
And perhaps he's right. Perhaps the ladies of Lockheed Martin and the rest will cooperate themselves into billion-dollar Pentagon deals for many years to come. Lockheed CEO Marillyn Hewson assures Politico that she intends to bring more women aboard, and hopes to keep this brave new world of Pentagon women as more than a diversity blip. True equality, however, might evade us until women have to register for the draft, just like men. Then we can all kill equally.

Husky Light interviews Ben Emlyn-Jones
I have been interviewed on the video show of Daniella Husky Light, see: (Video removed)
Subjects discussed include: the 2012 Mayan Calendar phenomenon, crop circles, encounters with angels and much much more.
See here for Husky Light's interview on HPANWO Radio: http://hpanwo-radio.blogspot.co.uk/2017/08/programme-247-podcast-daniella-husky.html. Daniella has made a video version of the interview alone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vp55W-Muy1o.
Grass Circles
As the 2017 crop circle season draws to a close, believers in the hundred percent man-made hypothesis slap each other on the backs, as they do every year, in a curious mixture of frustration and self-congratulatory glee over the fact that there are still people out there who don't accept their explanation for the phenomenon. In the background links below I explain in detail why I am one of those people. One fact that is often overlooked by media reports into crop circles is that they are far older than most people think. They have been reported for several centuries before the modern crop circle era that began in the 1970's, albeit previously they were much rarer. Also patterns similar to crop circles sometimes appear in other matrices. It's as if whatever intelligence creates these patterns sees the crop simply as a convenient medium in the absence of which they would use another. Sometimes equally intricate and beautiful patterns appear in snow, without any footprints near them, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Eou22AVDZc. And in sand, see: http://www.heart.co.uk/news/quirky/weird-wonderful/incredible-amazing-sand-cirlces-shapes-beach/. Many of these are created by an artist called Julian Richardson who used to make crop circles, but not all are. Again, we see a lack of footprints that would be present if humans were involved.
The most inexplicable and mysterious of these alternative crop circles are in grass. These have appeared in several places and are believed to have started in the Netherlands; indeed Crop Circle Connector has started reporting them as well, see: http://www.cropcircleconnector.com/2014/hoeven2/hoeven2014b.html. However there are much older records of grass circles in southern Africa. The first mention of them can be found in literature of explorers from around 1920 and it describes strange circular formations in the grasslands of the Namib Desert, a sparsely-habited arid region that stretches along the coast of southwest Africa from southern Angola to the Cape Province of South Africa, see: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/3587431.stm. Many scientists have proposed explanations such as the activity of termites, soil chemistry and a collective plant growth strategy connected to the dry climate. However the people of the local Himba culture call them "fairy circles" and believe they are the work of Mukuru, their creator god. In the absence of any other conclusion why should we not take that possibility seriously? Fairy circles are not to be confused with fairy rings. Fairy rings are mushrooms that grow in a circle on grass in wetter climes; and this is simply caused by the mycelium, the underground part of the fungus, spreading into the soil and consuming nutrients in a particular way. Grass rings have no such obvious mundane explanations and therefore I must speculate that they have more in common with the crop circle phenomenon than they do with biological forces. Also it seems grass circles are spreading. They've been observed in parts of Australia as well as outside their heartland in the Namib Desert. Could this mean that the "artist", whoever... or whatever... they are, wants more people to see their portfolio?

Men-Only Bowls Club
Chesterfield Bowling Club claims to be the oldest in the world. It was established in 1294 at its current home ground in Derbyshire. It has always been a club for men only yet a former member has accused it of being "stuck in its ways". He has left and joined a mixed-sex bowls club. Bowls is a traditional English game usually played by older people. It is generally more popular with men, but that doesn't mean something is wrong that needs to be fixed; it's just that human nature varies when generalizing groups. There is nothing preventing any woman who wants to play bowls from playing. This is a point I brought up when several people complained that there were supposedly not enough female UFOlogists. In fact attempts to force a balance in such circumstances can be extremely destructive, see: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2016/10/adx-files-38-women-in-ufology.html. Chesterfield Bowling Club is not entirely men only; they have a "ladies day" once a year and there is an old photo of such an event in the source article below. They have polled their members and voted to remain men-only. This is despite the former member blaming this supposed stodginess for the club's financial problems. They are old even by the standards of the sport; the youngest member is sixty-six. Source: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-derbyshire-41011618. I'm glad they have stuck by their principles and it's a shame the Royal Troon Golf Club did not, see: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2016/07/royal-troon-admits-women.html. The issue here is the double standard. Feminists who object to man-spaces invariably are open and proud members of woman-spaces. There are Women's Institute branches all over the world. Every academic institution has a women's organization, along with black groups and LGBT groups etc. It is only white heterosexual males who are denied this right to free association and self-actualization. This is not fair and I think there is a sinister mind control agenda behind it. And, so predictably... there is a women's bowls club too, see: http://www.wwba.co.uk/.

2017 American Eclipse
Solar eclipses are not rare events; in fact a total eclipse of the sun occurs at least once every eighteen months. They don't always occur in the same place though and a single spot on the earth will experience totality only about once every three to four hundred years on average. I've never seen a total eclipse although there have been two in Oxford that have been close to total in recent decades, 1999 and 2015. Tomorrow there will be an eclipse that will be called "the Great American Eclipse" because its route looks almost designed to provide the best view from within the United States of America. The USA is still one of the most powerful and influential nations on earth, therefore this eclipse is being widely publicized. It will begin at dawn in the central Pacific Ocean and will head for the US west coast appearing first in Oregon at 9.05 AM local time, that's 5.05 PM British Summer Time. The path of totality will be a seventy-mile-wide corridor running from the Pacific North West and Rocky Mountain states of Oregon, Idaho and Wyoming; then into Nebraska, Missouri and through the Deep South states through to the Atlantic coast at Charleston, South Carolina. A person standing still at sea level will experience two minutes and forty seconds of totality. Outside the totality zone the eclipse will be a partial one to a greater or lesser degree. It will be visible from northwest Europe only as a bite-sized partial segment just before sunset. The cause of a solar eclipse is very simple; the moon travels between the sun and the earth blocking out some or all of its rays. The experience is like night suddenly falling for a short time; no longer than seven minutes thirty-two seconds. It's easy to work out when eclipses will occur in the future by calculating the movement of the moon and sun with the rotation of the earth, see: https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/solar/2017-august-21.
However, for superstitious people, the experience of an eclipse can be frightening and loaded with meaning, usually malevolent. Eclipses have been responsible for hysteria, mass-panic, belief that the world has ended and multiple suicides. The USA in the early 21st century is sadly not immune to this and there almost certainly will be some kind adverse action tomorrow afternoon for particular kinds of people, especially in rural and insular areas of the country where the Bible and the gun still rule as the twin pillars of civilization. It doesn't help that the first place in America to see the eclipse is called Salem. This is an infamous name in American history because in 1692 there was a trial in Salem in which twenty people were convicted of witchcraft in a scene reminiscent of medieval Europe. Most of them were hung from trees and the others died in prison. This crime took place in a different Salem though; one in Essex County, Massachusetts on the other end of the continent; the Salem that will start the eclipse lies near the coast of Oregon. Nevertheless the same name alone might be enough to convince some Americans that this is the date chosen by God to initiate the Last Days as foretold in the Book of Revelations. Who knows what people in that state of mind might do? As a result the emergency services and National Guard will be on standby, especially in and around Salem. Many Americans are followers of Wicca, a neopagan religion inspired by ancient pre-Christian British rites. The eclipse is called the "Black Moon" in Wicca and it is very meaningful spiritually, but not necessarily bad. Source: http://www.neonnettle.com/features/1128-monday-s-total-solar-eclipse-has-us-national-guard-on-standby-here-s-why. The same goes for its significance in astrology, see: https://astrologyking.com/solar-eclipse-august-2017/. The focus on the United States with this eclipse may be a portent for radical change in that country, perhaps it is connected to the rise of Donald Trump and the "2016 Effect", see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2017/01/coronation-of-god-emperor.html. This is also the day that the first commercial flight will land at St Helena Airport, although the eclipse will not be visible from the island, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2017/08/st-helena-airport-maiden-flight.html. Noon on that same day has also been chosen... coincidentally, for the moment when Big Ben's chimes stop for about four years of building work, see: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-40922169. There are many public events, street parties and other celebrations to mark the eclipse. I hope my American readers all enjoy it. Be careful not to look at the sun without one of the safe viewing methods, see: https://www.space.com/33797-total-solar-eclipse-2017-guide.html. Also tune into Space Weather on the HPANWO Show on HPANWO Radio for a complete report next Thursday, see links column.

St Helena Airport Maiden Flight
Back in June, the access contract for St Helena Airport was signed. It was awarded to the South African operator SA Airlink, see: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2017/06/st-helena-airport-access-contract.html. The airline will be carrying out the first ever commercial flight to St Helena Airport on Monday the 21st of August 2017 (Oddly enough this will be the day of the Great American Eclipse; are these people astrologers?). The aircraft will be SA Airlink's brand new Embraer E190, a medium range twin-engine jet that can carry between eighty to a hundred and twenty-four passengers. Unfortunately all the tickets have been reserved for VIP's among the SA Airlink executives and the St Helena Government on this historic celebratory flight; but if this proving flight goes well a full regular schedule will begin, and after that you will be able to purchase a ticket and fly to St Helena on easy terms. The route will eventually be extended to Ascension. The plane will depart Johannesburg at 7 AM local time, that's 6 AM British Summer Time, and will stopover at Windhoek in Namibia for half an hour before setting out over the Atlantic Ocean towards St Helena. It is expected to land on St Helena at 1.15 PM local time, that's 2.15 PM BST (St Helena does not change its clocks in spring and uses Greenwich Mean Time all year round). Source: https://whatthesaintsdidnext.com/2017/07/22/flights-st-helena-johannesburg-cape-town-announced/. The stay of execution for the faithful old RMS St Helena will then sadly be over and she will be retired in February next year. After that she will probably head for the breakers yard. This maiden commercial flight to St Helena is the final step in a process that was begun when construction of the airport commenced in 2012. I began covering this subject in March 2014, see background links below. The first ever landing at St Helena Airport took place there in September 2015; a Beechcraft light aircraft was sent there to help with a medical emergency. Since then there have been thirty-one other landings, mostly test missions, but there has been a helicopter as well and two military aircraft on classified missions; see background links below. However Monday's flight marks the start of normal access; in other words, it is the moment when St Helena Airport joins the international list of active passenger aviation transport hubs. This day, more than any other milestone, marks the moment when the gates of global society are swung open and the outside world pours in onto that little island. For better or for worse... or maybe a bit of both. There is no going back now. The dye is cast.

Ben Emlyn-Jones and Danielle at Bases at the Black Swan
The Bases at the Black Swan was one of the most enjoyable of the many public events the Bases Project has held, see background links below for details of some others. I interviewed Miles Johnston about the event and the upcoming one in Ireland here: http://hpanwo-radio.blogspot.co.uk/2017/07/programme-243-podcast-miles-johnston.html. I met up with many old friends and made a few new ones, such as Danielle. She had the most terrible journey to the Black Swan from her home in West Yorkshire. She was stopped by the police over a motoring offence that appeared too conveniently timed to be coincidental. She had her car impounded and would have had it confiscated permanently if it hadn't been for the solidarity and generosity of the Bases Project delegation. I introduced the open-mic experiencers session at the event and she was the first speaker, making her public live debut.
Danielle's speech: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtUvtTl_bV8.

Sunday Express on Marcus Allen
For some reason there has been considerable mainstream media coverage of this year's Glastonbury Symposium, see: http://www.glastonburysymposium.co.uk/. I myself went along in 2010 and made one of my favourite HPANWO TV videos, Ben Goes on Tor!, see: http://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.co.uk/2010/07/ben-goes-on-tor.html. In those days only the specialized press of the UFO/conspiracy/paranormal and the mind/body/spirit communities; and the various overlaps thereof, covered it. Journals such as Nexus, Caduceus, Namaste etc. This year one of the speakers was Marcus Allen, the UK publisher of Nexus magazine. He's a good friend of mine and fellow researcher, specializing in the moon landings, and has been on HPANWO Radio many times, see: http://hpanwo-radio.blogspot.co.uk/2016/03/programme-179-podcast-marcus-allen.html. His lecture was reviewed by Jon Austin of the Sunday Express and... ultimate spoiler alert, it is not exactly Pulitzer Prize material. Source: http://www.express.co.uk/news/weird/838136/Moon-landings-hoax-Marcus-Allen-not-possible-Glastonbury-Symposium.
The content is vaguely factual, but includes some aversive elements. The very title is simplistic and misleading: "Secret Space Project- 'NASA had craft to reach moon... but hoaxed Apollo missions instead'." It is intended to make the reader scoff, and hopefully read no further. The true relationship between the secret space programme and NASA's public equivalent is complex, but explicable. Marcus and I delve into it in our interviews and also there is more information in the background links below. The article begins: "A top lunar landings denier." Any description of a person's beliefs that includes the suffix "denier" is a personal slur. It is intended to connect in the reader's mind to "Holocaust denier" and thereby demonize the person. It is a tactic used by people like George Monbiot, see: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2011/02/death-to-climate-change-deniers.html. "Shocking claim" is just a piece of shallow rhetoric. Why use the adjective "shocking"? "Shocking" is a position on a purely emotional and qualitative gauge. It says nothing about how much or little evidence exists to support or discredit the claim. It is similar to Carl Sagan's cliche "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary explanations." See here for more details: https://youtu.be/Oxfmkn7QygY?t=26m18s. "Mr Allen is the UK publisher of 'alternative news' magazine Nexus." "Alternative news" is put into scare-quotes so that the reader will intuit an implicit pejorative subtext. This is done in a similar way to how the mainstream media use the phrase "fake news". The same goes for the old lines "moon hoax conspiracy theorist" (repeated twice) and "The far-fetched conspiracy theory." If a trick keeps working, why not keep using it? "It is then claimed that specialist scientists aided by Nazi's, who worked for the US in return for immunity from war crimes trials." This refers to Operation Paperclip and it is not a "claim"; it is historical fact. After the destruction of Nazi Germany at the end of World War II, Hitler's scientists were given the choice of working for the victorious allies or going to Nuremburg. The best known of these scientists is Wernher von Braun. Many of these experts were also working in the field of electrogravitics and this would have included the back-engineering of extraterrestrial technology that used it, see background links for details. "Believers even claim that the high-tech craft are secretly flown into space." The word "believers" is another dysphemism; it echoes phrases like "believers in the cult of the Lemonade Fountain" etc. It prevents the readers understanding that people like Marcus have come to this field of study via a careful scientific analysis of the evidence. As always with the mainstream media, it is the comments under the article that are far more interesting than the article itself; and based on those, apart from the usual idiots of course, I'm pleased to say that the propaganda in this screed does not appear to have fooled as many people as the authors and editor would probably like. We're almost at the fiftieth anniversary of the Apollo moon missions. NASA know this is going to be a massive informational choke point for them, possibly too massive to prevent the truth exploding out... and I'm going to be squeezing hard on their necks!

Big Brother House Haunted
Celebrity Big Brother 2017 is underway. This Orwellian TV franchise has been running for twenty years and has been exported to fifty-four countries. The latest instalment of evictions, arguments, communal sleeping and cameras in the toilet stars a number of celebrities; however, and maybe I'm just displaying my alienation from popular culture, I have only heard of one of these people, Derek Acorah, see: http://bigbrother.channel5.com/housemates. Derek Acorah is a self-styled psychic medium who has risen to the heights of stardom via his professed ability to talk to the dead. He became famous as one of the hosts of Most Haunted. David Icke has also had readings with him. Despite this, his psychic ability has been called into question and a few times he has been caught out cheating. He once claimed to channel the spirit of a dead South African prisoner warder called Kreed Kafer. He was actually hot reading disinformation he had been fed. Kreed Kafer never existed and was only invented by some skeptics who wanted to catch Acorah out. The name is an anagram of "Derek faker". Therefore quite a few TV viewers will be rolling their eyes and folding their arms over Acorah's latest scoop. He says that the Big Brother house is haunted by the ghosts of two housemates from previous series. David Gest was a TV actor and the ex-husband of the actress Liza Minnelli. He was in the 2016 Celebrity Big Brother and died a few months later of a stroke. Jade Goody appeared in the 2002 season of Big Brother and went on to become a household name. She returned to the series in Celebrity Big Brother 2007. She died of cervical cancer at the tender age of twenty-seven. Derek Acorah says he has seen the spirits of both former contestants in the house as well as orbs and mist. Source: http://metro.co.uk/2017/08/02/derek-acorah-claims-celebrity-big-brother-house-is-haunted-by-the-ghosts-of-jade-goody-and-david-gest-6825266/.
Just because a psychic medium carries out fraud does not necessarily follow that they are not a real medium, but it does totally ruin their credibility. Some genuine mediums will fake the effects when they're having trouble connecting to spirit. I advise never to be tempted into that. It is better to be honest with the audience, tell them the spirits are simply not cooperating tonight and offer them their money back. One reason Acorah may be blagging again this time is because Jade Goody might not be dead. Like Jo Cox MP (see background links below), she may have faked her own death and is now living a long way from her previous home under a new identity. This was suggested by Ian R Crane in one of his lectures and there is good reason to suggest this. Firstly, despite being terminally ill she does not look very sick in her photos at the time. She lost her hair, allegedly due to chemotherapy, but did not loose much weight or exhibit any other obvious symptoms. The way her diagnosis was revealed to her was extraordinary. She was a housemate in the Indian version of the show, called Bigg Boss, when she was called to the diary room and given the news on the phone by her doctor in England. She was then allowed to return to the house where she broke down in tears and was consoled by the other housemates, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhVefAit_K8. Under no circumstances would any doctor consult with a patient in that manner, especially when it comes to news that is so terrible. What would have happened is that Jade would be called to the diary room and told by Big Brother that she had to leave the house for medical reasons. She would then be taken to the surgery and told by the doctor in person. In fact it is unlikely that she would even have been allowed to be a contestant while undergoing tests for the disease. This was a test for the cancer itself, not just a positive papilloma smear test. Why would Jade fake her own death? Ian suspects it is to help market "Gardesil", the human papilloma virus vaccine, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fk7ydeFPxs. I'm not sure about this. Jade Goody would be a bad choice for this kind of scam because her personality is not one I would judge as being good for keeping a secret.

Seth Rich Murder and Wikileaks
The serendipity that follows Bill and Hillary Clinton has claimed another name for its notorious body count. In 2016 Wikileaks released a series of emails that revealed corruption at the Democratic National Convention. The emails were about how the Convention was plotting to sabotage the presidential run of Bernie Sanders and make sure that Hillary Clinton was the only candidate for President. This is why it was doubly frustrating when the old fool went and endorsed her; see background links below for details. The chairwoman of the Convention, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, resigned, but it stopped there. In a just world this kind of perversion of the political process should result in a criminal investigation that would be bigger than Watergate, but so far President Trump has not ordered one; could this be because Trump might now compromised, see: http://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.co.uk/2017/04/counter-trumpening.html? The leak was allegedly obtained by a hacker, or team of hackers, codenamed "Guccifer 2.0". The identity of this source has never been revealed. He/she/they claim to be Romanian IT technicians, but there is no evidence for or against this. However, following the event a young staffer at the Convention, a political scientist named Seth Rich, was murdered. He was shot dead in the streets of Washington DC and the police claim that it was an attempted robbery. However nothing was taken from his pockets. As David Icke would say: "Just a coincidence, nothing to worry about." Mr Rich's family support the police findings and ask people like me not to speculate otherwise because it adds to their grief. This is not my intention; nevertheless if we have reason to be suspicious then we have a duty to speak out. If we don't, others in the future might have to die for the Rich family's feelings. This is the same argument used over and over again by 9/11 and 7/7 official story-believers, see: http://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.co.uk/2011/10/how-to-show-respect-to-victims-of-911.html. The people who spoke out claiming that Seth Rich's death was another Clinton revenge attack were branded "conspiracy theorists". However this all changed when Seymour Hersh, one of America's most experienced and respected journalists, announced that Seth Rich was indeed the deep throat in the DNC from which the emails had been divulged to Wikileaks; this was revealed by an alleged source of his in the FBI. It was not a Romanian hacker at all; it was an insider, Seth Rich. This is not something a man in Hersh's position would have said lightly. To qualify, Hersh does not dispute the police report on Seth Rich's shooting, but his revelations do lend weight to the possibility of an assassination and cover up. Source: http://www.wnd.com/2017/08/bombshell-dropped-on-seth-rich-murder-mystery/. At the time of writing, the DNC has yet to comment.
The deception might run even deeper than this though. Is Wikileaks itself a trustworthy source at all? For several years Richard D Hall has been claiming that Julian Assange, Edward Snowden and Bradley/Chelsea Manning are all controlled opposition. When Richard said this he made it clear that he was one hundred percent certain that this was the case. Richard tends to embrace certainty too hastily in my view, and this has led him to make several mistakes; see background links for details. I disagreed with him at the time about Wikileaks et al. Nevertheless he has recently published a new episode of Richplanet TV where he and Andrew Johnson present additional evidence against the authenticity of Julian Assange and Wikileaks that is very compelling. They have raised questions that must be answered: Assange's family connections to a religious cult, his apparently unfiltered presence in the media, his involvement with government cyber-security projects and much more, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2WSI_M15-k. This information will have to be taken into account when it comes to future supposed exposés being released from Wikileaks. There may be another explanation for the allegations made by Richard and Andrew, but I can't think of one right now. How does this affect the DNC corruption scandal and the murder of Seth Rich?

Another 9/11 No-Show in Dubai
There has been a second skyscraper fire in Dubai in as many years. Following the New Year conflagration of the Address Downtown another of the city's iconic high-rises has gone up in flames, this time it is the now facetiously named Torch Tower. The type of fire is very similar in nature to the tragedy at Grenfell Tower, see: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2017/06/grenfell-tower-fire.html. However because this is a luxury block of flats and not a council human rubbish stack for people the authorities consider worthless, it has alarms, detectors, sprinklers and all the other necessary emergency appliances needed that Grenfell lacked; therefore all the residents were successfully evacuated to safety. Source: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4759064/High-rise-residential-block-Dubai-bursts-flames.html. Again though, I have waited for it to turn into a cloud of dust, and yet again it has not. The background links below provide all the other examples.

Ben Emlyn-Jones at Weird Weekend North
I will be speaking at the Weird Weekend North event, Saturday the 7th and Sunday the 8th of April 2018. My talk will be entitled: Helen Duncan- Wartime Psychic Jailed. In 1944 the psychic medium Helen Duncan was put on trial under the two hundred year old Witchcraft Act of 1735 because she was accused of defrauding the public by staging a fake seance. An open and shut case? Or was something else more complicated and furtive going on, something related to wartime secrets and espionage?
The original Weird Weekend has taken place in Devon for a number of years and is organized by the Centre for Fortean Zoology; this is an affiliate for the North Country, hence the name. The venue is the Rixton-with-Glazebrook Community Hall, Manchester Road, Hollins Green, Warrington, Cheshire and Greater Manchester border, WA3-6JZ. Tickets cost £30 for the whole weekend; very cheap. See here for details: http://glenvaudrey.wixsite.com/weird-weekend-north.
Jim Marrs Dies
I'm very sorry to report that Jim Marrs has died. He passed away after an illness. Jim was a veteran conspiracy theorist from another age. Long before the internet he was investigating UFO's, secret government activities and hidden technology. He wrote several conspiratorial classics such as Crossfire- the Plot that Killed Kennedy, that inspired Oliver Stone's film JFK. See here for more information: http://hpanwo.blogspot.co.uk/2013/11/the-kennedy-assassination-50-years-on.html. He has written a dozen other books on all kinds of UFO/conspiracy/paranormal matters, His work on the Aurora Incident has indicated strongly that this was the first ever recorded UFO crash-retrieval, see here for details: http://hpanwo.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/pre-roswell-roswells.html. With his big white beard and cowboy hat he was an unmistakable sight at conferences and TV shows. He did numerous lectures and radio interviews. He will be sadly missed. RIP, Jim.
Alien Actor meets Real Aliens
I consider Ridley Scott's 1979 film Alien the best science fiction horror movie ever made. It has spawned an entire franchise of sequels; but all of them fail, to lesser or greater degrees, to rival the splendour of the original. Like all good horror movies, its power comes more from a good knowledge of human psychology than gruesome special effects. What truly scares people deep down? With Alien it is quite often the projected fear of the characters. The acting is so brilliant that the expression on people's faces when they see the creature has more impact than when the viewer sees it themselves. The actor Yaphet Kotto's performance was one of the best in the film. Kotto is also well-known for playing the best ever James Bond bad-guy in Live and Let Die. Now, at the age of seventy-seven, he has announced publicly that he has had real alien contact. Judging by his ripe old age he has clearly encountered real aliens that are far less homicidal than their fictional counterpart. Kotto is from an African Jewish family and Africa is a continent with a long and deep tradition for extraterrestrial visitation that is often overlooked by conventional UFOlogy, see: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/goblin-in-suitcase-scares-cops.html and: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2015/04/city-in-sky.html. His experiences began when he was aged nine or ten at his home in the Bronx, New York USA. He saw a creature one day when he was playing with his friends in the street. He also regularly saw UFO's above his house. These events followed him as he travelled, even when he moved to the Philippines. Even when he was in the production of Alien, ironically, he had sightings of real aliens. He once had a close encounter with a mothership that he describes as being "the size of Yankee Stadium". Some of these events involve missing time. Until now only his wife, psychoanalyst and rabbi know about this factor of his life. His wife was with him and shared one of his sightings. The skeptics predictably questioned his mental health, but he says he is perfectly sane and very intelligent; he claims he has an IQ of 196. He also denies that he's seeking fame and fortune. He is already a famous actor who has earned a very healthy living from his talents; he's not writing a book or making a movie that he needs to promote. Like many other contactees, he feels a sense of compassion for the planet earth and wants to help the aliens save it. Source: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4744726/Actor-1979-Alien-says-s-abducted-real-life.html. Far from gaining anything, Kotto has a lot to lose be describing his experiences publicly. Everybody who has alien contact experience faces the threat of ridicule and rejection by their family, acquaintances and friends; but for celebrities this risk is far greater because they are recognized by so many other people as well. So well done, Mr Kotto, for speaking out. Good luck and I hope you don't have to endure too much aggravation.

This Sunday past was a monumental day as Pete Werner committed to Ohio State.
The Cathedral linebacker had previously committed to Notre Dame. However, he took a trip to Ohio State for a game with Michigan last month. Apparently, he liked what he saw.
The 220-pound player came in third place in the voting. The only other two players to reach higher positions were Russ Yeast and Hunter Johnson.
Warner had quite an impressive record with 109 tackles during his entire career. Seventeen of those tackles were for a loss. He also had eight sacks.
Pete Werner is the number two prospect in the entire state, and he ranks 17 overall.

Find a therapist in Wisconsin with GoodTherapy.org.
Surveys conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau found 5.77 million people lived in Wisconsin in 2015. About 37,680 residents were employed in jobs involving community health and social service.
Every year, researchers at Mental Health America (MHA) investigate and compare the mental health conditions of all U.S. states, including the District of Columbia. In the 2016 MHA report, Wisconsin was listed in the 37th position in overall mental health. In other key mental health categories, Wisconsin finished 44th in youth ranking, 20th in adult ranking, 47th in prevalence of mental, emotional and behavioral issues, and 18th in ease of access to professional care. Despite a more mid-range rate of access to treatment, Wisconsin's lower overall ranking likely comes from its high prevalence of mental health issues.
Therapists in Wisconsin and major mental health organizations have recognized that substance abuse issues significantly affect adolescents and adults in the state. According to the 2016 MHA survey, 6.2% of the young people in Wisconsin abuse alcohol or drugs, while 9.7% of adults in the state have similar health concerns. Wisconsin was ranked 39th and 43rd in these respective measures. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) claims Wisconsin's percentage of cigarette use among adolescents and binge alcohol consumption among residents ages 12-20 were both higher than the respective national averages from 2012-2013. Heavy alcohol use among adults residents 21 or older was higher than the national percentage from 2009-2013.
In addition to these behavioral concerns, there is also a high prevalence of depression symptoms among young people in the state. The 2016 Mental Health America report states 11.4% of adolescents experienced episodes of major depression in the past 12 months, and 10.5% are currently experiencing severe depression symptoms. Wisconsin was 49th and 50th in these specific categories.
