REDDING, Calif. – The Redding Police Neighborhood Police Unit pursued a two month long investigation that netted multiple drug dealers across Redding.
Officials said the NPU began gathering information in regards to a local narcotics trafficking organization with gang ties to the Sacramento area in June. NPU said they believe the organization has been responsible for the large quantity of the drugs sold in Redding, targeting local drug addicts.
Redding Police Sergeant Walt Bullington said that search warrants were obtained and served on several homes and people. Investigators said that the searches helped police identify the apparent leader of the drug trafficking organization.
NPU officers first contacted Aurmone Keon Harris, 20, of Redding, during a traffic stop in Anderson. Harris's passenger, Kevin Marcuslee Montgomery, 20, of Vallejo, was found to be in possession of a handgun reportedly stolen in Vallejo.
Next, NPU served a search warrant on a home where they found Aaron Monte Tremai Hunt, 25, of Redding and Crystal Merie Ruesga, 36, of Redding. Hunt and Ruesga were both identified as heroin dealers. Both were arrested for possession of heroin for sale and1.3 ounces of heroin was seized.
Aurmone Harris was contacted again when NPU officers served a search warrant at his home. Harris was found to be in possession of 6.4 grams of heroin and was arrested for possession of heroin for sale.
NPU officers said they saw several subjects run from Harris's house but were able to contact Rene Gerard Harris, 31, of Adelanto and Alyce Yvette McCoy, 45, of Fairfield. Rene and McCoy had two handguns that Aurmone said were in the home. Both guns had been reported stolen from Vallejo.
NPU officers checked Rene's criminal history and found he was a convicted felon prohibiting him from possessing firearms. NPU officers also discovered arrest warrants had been issued for Rene and McCoy for attempted murder, conspiracy to commit murder and battery with a firearm from Las Vegas. Police said Rene and McCoy were aware of their warrants and traveled to Redding to evade Nevada authorities.
During the course of their investigation, NPU officers were able to link arrested drug dealers with Christopher White II, 40, of Redding, the main supplier of heroin. White was on probation after being convicted of sales of crack cocaine in 2015.
According to officials, early morning August 17, officers from the NPU partnered with allied agencies and launched a multi-location search warrant service that targeted White and other upper-level heroin dealers operating in the Redding area. Officers arrested five different drug dealers at six separate locations.
Chris White II, 40, was found in possession of over seven pounds of heroin and nearly a pound of cocaine for the purpose of sales.
Fredrick Dennis Jr., 26, was found in possession of over an ounce of methamphetamine and 12.3 grams of heroin for the purpose of sales.
Joshua Jones, 28, was found in possession of nearly 52 grams of heroin and 23 grams of methamphetamine for the purpose of sales.
Cearington Wealtherspoon, 20, was found in possession of a quantity of heroin for the purpose of sale.
Crystal Ruesga, 36, was found in possession of heroin for the purpose of sales.
Since June of 2017, NPU officers seized 3343.63 grams of heroin with an estimated street value of over $330,000. This quantity is enough heroin for a single user to be under the influence 24 hours a day for over 15 years. Officers also seized 372.21 grams of cocaine with a street value of approximately $30,000. This is enough cocaine for a single user to be under the influence for over a year.

President's Dinner
Loyola Academy honors Sister Paulanne Held, OSF
A Tribute to the "Patron Saint" of Glenview
Fondly referred to by the members of Our Lady of Perpetual Help parish and the surrounding community as the "Patron Saint" of Glenview, Sister Paulanne Held, OSF, has dedicated her life to inspiring young people in the classroom while serving those in need.
Raised on a farm outside of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Sister Paulanne answered the call to serve early in life. Intrigued by the mission of the School Sisters of St. Francis of St. Joseph Convent—a community of Catholic sisters dedicated to building a more just and peaceful world—she entered the convent and trained to be a teacher.
Since that time, she has spent more than half a century as a beloved teacher and role model, forming the hearts and minds of generations of young people at the primary and middle-school levels. Today, Sister Paulanne teaches religion to seventh- and eighth-grade students at Our Lady of Perpetual Help's parish school in Glenview—and also tutors her young charges in the art of giving.
"It's just as important to teach young people how to make a difference in the world as it is to teach them about math or literature or history," she states. "I say to my students, 'Run with the ball, make a difference, don't stand on the sidelines, you have to change the world!" And they get it—they understand.
"These students are an inspiration to me," she adds. "I tell them stories about people coming to my door who have nothing—families who live in their car or homeless men and women who sleep in the woods at night. I tell them that McDonald's gift cards are a great way to help people get a warm meal in a warm place or that I am looking for quarters to help homeless moms do their laundry. I am always amazed by how many students show up the next day with quarters, dimes, nickels, pennies—whatever change they can spare to help people in need."
Teaching and nurturing the next generation of women and men for others are just two of Sister Paulanne's passions. For more than 30 years, she has also been out on the front lines in the fight against poverty, helping families in crisis reclaim their hope and dignity through the parish's Needy Family Fund.
Although Sister Paulanne has been helping people in need on an informal basis since arriving at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish in the early 1960s, the Needy Family Fund was founded in the mid-1980s to provide more structured support, as well as social services, for families struggling with stressors such as illness, the loss of a loved one, unemployment or homelessness.
"Father Myles McDonnell came to me in the early 1980s and said, 'We have a family in the parish with 10 children. The father is sick and out of work. We need to create a program to help families like this one. Why don't we call it the Sister Paulanne Needy Family Fund?""
With characteristic modesty, Sister Paulanne responded, "Why don't we just call it The Needy Family Fund?" But Father McDonnell prevailed—and the Sister Paulanne Needy Family Fund was born.
Since its inception over three decades ago, the Needy Family Fund has helped thousands of families in crisis. During the 2017–18 fiscal year alone, the fund served more than 130 families and helped 63 students purchase all of their back-to-school supplies and clothing.
Although some things have changed over the years, the spirit behind the fund remains the same.
"In the past, when a family had no money to pay rent, we paid it," recalls Sister Paulanne. "If a family didn't have food, we gave them food. It was immediate and hands on. Today, we have an advisory committee and a social worker, and the people we serve can take advantage of the parish's Sharing Room, which is filled with clothing, furniture, household items and personal items."
Meanwhile, Sister Paulanne continues to respond to every downtrodden soul who shows up on her doorstep as she always has—with an open heart, a kind word and whatever she has at her disposal.
"We don't turn anyone away," she says. "I keep gift cards on hand for the homeless people who live in the woods so that they can enjoy a hot meal. Sometimes I'll run across the street to get gas cards for working parents who can't afford to fill up their gas tank to drive to work. We try to respond in some way to everyone who comes to us with a need."
As Sister Paulanne sees it, the needs of the community reflect a problem that plagues our country as a whole.
"We are the greatest nation in the world with the most resources and potential, and we do not provide the basic necessities of food, clothing and shelter to help people survive," she points out. "I have been told by teachers in unincorporated parts of Glenview that there are children who go back to the cafeteria tables after lunch to see if there's any food left to take with them because they have nothing to eat at home. Mothers from our community continue to come to us for food, diapers and gas because they have nothing."
She pauses, but only long enough to take a breath. "We have to do more!"
Ironically, when Loyola Academy President Rev. Patrick E. McGrath, SJ, first broke the news to Sister Paulanne that she was being honored as the 2019 recipient of Rev. Daniel A. Lord, SJ, Award for Distinguished Service in the Cause of Youth, she protested that she was not worthy.
"I told him, 'You are going to have to find someone who deserves the Lord Award, because that's not me!"" she recalls with a laugh. "But seriously, I think there are people who have done so much more to help children and communities—people like Sister Rosemary Connelly of Misericordia [who received Loyola's Lord Award in 1991] or Rev. L. Scott Donahue of Mercy Home for Boys & Girls. Those are people in the trenches, on the front lines—doing whatever needs to be done."
'Like Father Myles McDonnell some 30-odd years earlier, Fr. McGrath gently persisted until Sister Paulanne reluctantly agreed to be recognized for nearly 60 years of service to children and families.
' "It is very humbling to get up in front of people and accept an award like this when everyone in the room has done something to improve the lives of others," she confides. "That's the reality of it. Whenever people say I am doing a great job with the poor, I tell them that it is a team effort. I can inspire and inform people, but none of what I do would be possible without the community members who support our work—from the benefactors who share their financial resources with the Needy Family Fund to the volunteer advisory committee members who give generously of their time to help steward those resources to the network of attorneys, dentists and doctors who provide pro bono services for families in need to the OLPH Women's Club guilds, which hold monthly collection drives to keep the shelves of the parish's Sharing Room stocked with basic necessities."
'Yet those who know Sister Paulanne well are quick to cite her unique and invaluable contributions to the community.
"I have been working with Sister Paulanne for 15 or 20 years," says Tom Hart, who serves as a volunteer on the Needy Family Fund advisory committee. "She is the reason that the Needy Family Fund is in existence and remains strong financially. If there is a single thing that she gives to people that is more important than money or resources, it is hope. Sister is oftentimes the only person these people feel they can turn to when they are in complete and utter despair. She has this amazing ability to sit and commiserate with people in their darkest hours and convince them that maybe it's not time to give up, that maybe there is a way that the parish can help them turn things around. I've seen her sitting on the steps of the church with a woman who is crying her eyes out and saying, 'Don't give up, we'll help you…you are not alone any longer…we will be there to help you every step of the way…" She is faith, hope and charity—all wrapped up in one person."
"Sister Paulanne has long been a model of faith and service to humankind," reflects Loyola Academy President Rev. Patrick E. McGrath, SJ. "She has raised the bar for all of us with her countless acts of quiet generosity and kindness in the Our Lady of Perpetual Help parish community and beyond. Her legacy of service to those most in need is legendary—and we are honored to recognize her contributions to children and families at this year's President's Dinner with the Rev. Daniel A. Lord, SJ, Award for Distinguished Service in the Cause of Youth."

Abuja — Fears heightened over the week end that Chelsea FC and Eagles' midfielder, John Mikel Obi might not fully recover from injury before the final submission of names of 23 players to FIFA for next month's 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
Super Eagles' Technical Adviser, Lars Lagerback is not comfortable with the development as he has told the Nigeria Football Association, NFA officials that he wants to know before the end of todaywhether or not the player would be fully fit to be in the squad.
As a result therefore, the NFA has quickly dispatched doctors and officials to visit the player who is still in London where he is under-going rehabilitation.
A source at the NFA said that whereas, all the other players who were not able to join the team at the Presidential send forth dinner over the weekend were already waiting at the Five Lakes Hotel and Country Club in Essex, the convalescing Mikel remained in London.
"The Eagles' Technical Adviser, Lars Lagerback is not comfortable with the situation, and he has told NFA officials that he wants to know before the end of tomorrow (Tuesday) whether the Chelsea player would be fully fit or not", a dependable NFA source said.
The source said Lagerback is insisting that he can only bank on the very players he is seeing and can personally ascertain their physical fitness as against those he is yet to meet.
Remarkably, the Eagles have arrived in London and have settled down to the business of final preparation for the 2010 World Cup finals. The team would have just nine days of training before leaving for South Africa to join the rest of the teams for the Mundial.
Mikel's injury has however separated him from being part of the team's training which began Saturday evening and is a sure absentee for the Super Eagles' friendly against Saudi Arabia in Wattens, Austria tomorrow.

Hi. Here is FW from original PICKit3(I read it with another programmer).
it use a pic24 lol !!!
What reason for R42 Stupid like it is in PicKit2.
R42 with (R39,40) are part of voltage control, so target Vdd can be set 2v5 to 5v0 via Vdd Pump.
Anyone have experience with the current pickit3 clones from ebay? I see them for under $20 free shipping vs about $50 for an original from Mouser. I don't need ICD and apparently it won't work in mikroe anyways.
Microchip have been quite open regarding PICKIT 2 and 3. In the docomentation you will get a full schematic. And if you for some reason need to reflash your PICKIT. You can download anything you need from Microchip. Hence it is very easy to "clone" a PICKIT if you want to. I think either way Microchip look it as a win/win situation. They probably do not get much revenue from the sale of the PICKIT 3 it self.
I was given a 'clone' by someone that just needed it for one project.
when I say clone it was very hard to tell, it was not a Microchip device.
I could not tell between the real thing and the clone. it programed at all voltages.
the only thing I suspect is the Usb cable as it was about 2 meter in length.
I have ordered quite a few items from Aliexpress and most items are sent with tracking details.

Stevia is a small herbaceous shrub that usually does not exceed 80 cm high, evergreen, and the family of chrysanthemums. Her name is Stevia Rebaudiana Bertoni, in honor of the two scientists (Rebaudí and Bertoni) who studied and ranked first.
It originates from the Amambay mountain range, between Paraguay and Brazil, where it grows spontaneously, and has been consumed by the Guaraní Indians for centuries, long before the arrival of the Spaniards to America. Stevia comes from the same area as yerba mate, which is South American tea, so it is not strange that it has been used since time immemorial to sweeten mate, and therefore it can be said that stevia is the oldest natural sweetener that Is known.
Below is a flowchart of the process of obtaining the primary extracts of Stevia called Steviol Glycosides.
From the steviol glycosides stevia of different qualities is obtained. The two grades of stevia that are used as a sweetener in the food industry are: rebaudioside A and steviosides.
Rebaudioside A is the purest molecule of Stevia sweet that can be up to 400 times sweeter than sugar. With very low residual flavors. It is the ingredient that can be used to obtain end products without calories added by the sweetener, with excellent flavor.
Steviosides are the compounds of Stevia that have greater residual bitter taste and metal. Its sweetening power is up to 200 times more than sugar.
It is mostly used in solutions where low cost is predetermined and does not seek to obtain an ideal flavor like sugar.

Q: How to check protcol of url in android? I am sending a request to a server to get some data, but before getting the data, I want to check whether the URL is on http or https.
How can I tell that, i.e. how can I check whether the URL is http or https?
I have a used a method in which I send a request to a server using http://. If a protocol exception occurs, then I again send a request to the server with https://. I can check it this way, but I don't want an exception to occur. Is there any way to check it again?
Follwoing is the code sample to send the request to server:
Using OkHttp-
  try
              {

                OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient();
                Request request = new Request.Builder()
                                    .url(url[0])
                                    .build();
                Response httpResponse = client.newCall(request).execute();
              }
              catch(IOException e)
              {
                Log.i("log","exception");

              }

Using HtppUrlConnection:
try
                  {

                HttpURLConnection.setFollowRedirects(true);
                con = (HttpURLConnection) new URL(url[0]).openConnection();
                con.setRequestMethod("GET");
                con.setConnectTimeout(10000);
                  }
                  catch(IOException e)
                  {
                    Log.i("log","exception");

                  }

A: Try debugging and inspecting whether or not the connection is an HttpURLConnection or an HttpsURLConnection at runtime. If this is the case, you can use introspection and cast the connection to the correct class type. E.g.:
if (con instanceOf HttpsURLConnection) { /* ... handle https ... */}

However I'm unsure about your question. You first construct a URL using an argument in new URL(url[0]). This implies you know the url in advance and hence know the protocol as well...
I'm assuming url[0] is a String. Can't you just do if(url[0].startsWith("https"))?
Alternatively, you could also first create a URL instance and then call getProtocol on the object.

A: Once you parse a String to URL, you can get the protocol:
URL url = new URL(my_url);
String protocol = url.getProtocol();

And the output will looks like http or https.

Romanian leader floats harsher penalties for murder, rape
Posted: Jul 27, 2019 / 03:55 PM EDT / Updated: Jul 27, 2019 / 06:04 PM EDT
A Romanian gendarme stands outside the Interior Ministry, in Bucharest, Romania, Friday, July 26, 2019, near flowers and candles placed in memory of a 15 year-old girl, killed after after police took 19 hours to locate her after she was kidnapped by a man in southern Romania. The chief of Romania's national police has been fired by Interior Minister Nicolae Moga over the handling of the kidnapping of the teenage girl, who was raped and killed in the southern city of Caracal. (AP Photo/Vadim Ghirda)
BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) — Romania's prime minister said Saturday she is considering a referendum on harsher penalties for crimes like murder, rape and pedophilia in the wake of the rape and killing of a 15-year-old girl that has shocked the country.
Prime Minister Viorica Dancila also called for efforts to reduce the authorities' reaction time in similar cases, after police were criticized for reacting too slowly to the girl's repeated phone calls for help to the country's emergency hotline. Romania's national police chief was fired Friday over the handling of the case.
Thousands of people took part Saturday evening in a march protesting the handling of the case, blaming Romanian officials for negligence, incompetence and a lack of empathy.
Chanting anti-government slogans and carrying Romanian flags, the protesters marched from Victoria Palace, the government headquarters, to Revolution Square, where they lit candles outside the Interior Ministry. Some chanted "Resignation," "Corruption kills" and "Down with the government" during the march, while also taunting police officers with shouts of "Hide, your hands are stained with blood!"
Authorities say the man suspected in the case, Gheorghe Dinca, has been detained on suspicion of trafficking minors and rape. A court is expected to place him under preliminary arrest for up to 30 days.
The girl, whose identity has yet to be officially confirmed, was raped and killed in the southern city of Caracal.
It reportedly took police 19 hours until they began to search the suspect's home after the victim's calls saying she had been beaten and raped by a man who picked her up in his car as she was hitchhiking to Caracal from a nearby village.
NEW IBERIA, La. (KLFY) Two 16-year-old boys fatally shot each other late Sunday afternoon in the 700 block of Rosalie Street in New Iberia.

Multiple roads closed as rain pummels Carroll County during flood warning
By Emily Chappell and Jennifer Turiano
| Carroll County Times |
Flooding can be seen at Md. 27, where two men got stuck heading southbound past Nicodemus Road on Wednesday evening, July 25.
Westminster residents Austin Johnson and Dan Jewell got stuck on Md. 27 Wednesday evening when their car stalled shortly after passing Nicodemus Road, driving southbound through floodwaters.
Heavy rain closed multiple roads in Carroll, including the portion of Md. 27 at Nicodemus Road near Westminster, following a flash flood warning from the National Weather Service.
Cpl. Matt Wilson, with the Carroll County Sheriff's Office, said as of about 7:25 p.m., closed roads included Lemmon Road at Sullivan Road, Bachman Valley Road, Trump Road, Ebbvale Road in the 2200 block, Wine Road, Sams Creek Road in the 2900 block and Avondale Road at Stone Chapel Road, Snydersburg Road at Cascade Lake, Garrett Road at the 2100 block, 148 Bond St., Geeting Road.
As of 9 p.m., Md. 27 was still closed at Nicodemus, and traffic was being diverted at Old Westminster Road. Additional blocked roads were reported with a fallen tree at Arnold Road and Hook Road; and cars backed up due to flooding at Dutch Road and Carrollton Road, Water Tank Road and Lineboro Road, and Shady Brook Drive at Lucabaugh Mill Road. Other closed roads included Hoffman Mill Road, North Cranberry Road at Old Manchester Road, John Hyde Road, New Windsor Road at Coe Drive, East Deep Run Road, Stoney Lane at Traceys Mill Road and 114 Tannery Road.
While the two men on Md. 27 waited for someone to come jump-start the vehicle, they got out of the car to help traffic pass.

— MD State Highway Adm (@MDSHA) July 25, 2018
"My car is too low to go through all this," said Johnson while waving cars through the rain. "We were just cruising around seeing how bad the roads are."
Johnson works as a landscaper and said although he's lived in Westminster for 10 years, he's never seen conditions like this.
"I really needed the water for the grass to grow and everything," said Johnson," but now it's getting ridiculous."
"I've never seen this road like this before," he said.
Shortly after the two men began directing traffic, a state trooper put out flares and officially closed Md. 27 farther southbound headed toward Mount Airy where the roads were flooded over a bridge.

Maryland State Police Cpl. Michael Karas said the Md. 27 flooding was the worst they'd heard of as of about 7 p.m.
Karas said there were many calls regarding the weather.
"We've had numerous, numerous calls of water goring over the roadway and mudslides throughout the area," he said. He urged people to be careful, especially when driving.

— NWS DC/Baltimore (@NWS_BaltWash) July 25, 2018
The flood warning went into effect for Carroll County at about 5:30 p.m. Wednesday as rain continued to pelt the region, sometimes hitting a high of 3 to 4 inches an hour, Cody Ledbetter, meteorologist with the National Weather Service, said.
The warning was posted to last until 11:30 p.m.

The warning was for Carroll, Howard, northern Montgomery, southeastern Frederick and western Baltimore counties, according to the NWS.
"At 5:28 p.m. EDT, Doppler radar indicated thunderstorms producing heavy rain, which will cause flooding. One half to one inch of rain has fallen in portions of the warned area. Additional rainfall amounts of one to two inches are possible," according to the flood warning.
The NWS warns people to not drive on flooded roads because more flood deaths occur in vehicles. The Sheriff's Office also warned against driving in water on the roads in a tweet, and said there were numerous water rescues.
Please don't drive through standing water. Numerous water rescues occurring in the County.
— Carroll Co. Sheriff (@CCSheriffMD) July 25, 2018
"The key with such heavy rain moving through the area [is to] make sure to watch out if you're out driving, and don't drive through roadways that have any water flowing over them," Ledbetter said, adding, "turn around, don't drown."
While the flood warning was scheduled to end at 11:30 p.m., a flood watch was in effect until at least 2 a.m. Thursday.

Wednesday's heavy storms came after Carroll and many other areas in the state had endured nearly constant rain.
This weekend saw 3 to 6 inches of rain. Monday, Ledbetter said, Carroll saw anywhere from 1 to 3 inches, with the highest amounts in the Reese and Gamber area.
Ledbetter did not have rain totals for Carroll for Tuesday, but said Baltimore County saw 1 to 3 inches, and Frederick County saw 1 to 2 inches.
"[The total is] somewhere between there for Carroll County," he added.

A heartburn is defined as a burning sensation or warmth in the chest, usually behind the breastbone after eating. It arises once stomach fluid moves back into the esophagus.
The acid and bile from the stomach might irritate and burn the esophagus, throat and vocal cords.
Generally, everybody has experienced heartburn occasionally. In most cases, it is mild and lasts briefly. If an individual experience the condition most days of the week, it is diagnosed as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). This condition requires treatment since it can cause damage to the esophageal lining.
When swallowing food and liquids, they move down the esophagus into the stomach. There is a muscular ring around the lower end of the esophagus that opens to allow food to move into the stomach.
Burning sensation or warmth in the chest or throat.
Essentially, the muscular ring closes and prevents the stomach contents from moving up to the esophagus. In case the muscle is weak, overly relaxed or subjected to excess pressure, it might open and allow the backflow of the stomach contents into the esophagus. This can trigger irritation of the esophagus and cause pain.
The heartburn typically arises 30-60 minutes after ingesting a large meal, particularly if the individual bends down, lifts objects or lies down.
It is recommended to seek emergency care if heartburn does not settle within 15 minutes after treatment or if there is chest discomfort that comes and goes as well as sweating.

With a cold snap predicted over the next few days, Fire & Rescue NSW (FRNSW) is urging residents to take every precaution to avoid a fire in the home.
FRNSW Community Safety and Research Chief Superintendent Mick Morris said the cooler months see a 10% increase in the number of home fires, with more fires in bedrooms and loungerooms due to heaters, electric blankets, and the like.
"Don't put yourself or your family at risk. We want to remind people to be careful when using heaters and to keep everything in the house 'a metre from the heater'," he said.
Don't use LPG cylinders for cooking or heating indoors as they can leak and the gas is both toxic and highly explosive.
"Kitchen fires account for 45 per cent of all residential fires and 34 per cent of injuries in NSW. Flames or heat sources being left unattended are the most common cause contributing to kitchen fires. It can take just three minutes for a fire to take hold, but only seconds to prevent one," he said.
Never leave cooking unattended. If you leave the kitchen, turn off the stove. It takes just three minutes for a fire to take hold, but only seconds to prevent one.
Don't put anything metallic in the microwave.
Don't cook under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Turn pot handles inwards to avoid being knocked or grabbed by children.
Keep your oven and rangehood clean. Excess grease and fat can ignite in a fire.
Chief Superintendent Morris said if you remember these simple rules, you'll be on your way to having a safe, fire‑free winter.


Filtered MHG lighting is a mature technology used since the 80's for larger solar simulators inside environmental test chambers. MHG lamps are filled with a mixture of mercury, halides and rare earth elements which vaporize during ignition, generating a plasma. After a few minutes, the plasma reaches thermal equilibrium and emits a quasi-continuous spectrum (when properly filtered) similar to global solar radiation.
Currently, although optically filtered xenon lamps provide the best spectral match to natural solar radiation in the UV and visible portions of the spectrum, MHG technology exhibits two advantages over xenon. First, MHG are high efficiency sources and provide a higher output for electrical input and are better suited to large area illumination. Second, MHG emits lower amounts of infrared as compared to xenon, making thermal management easier. As with xenon, optical filters fine-tune the spectral irradiance to provide solar radiation outdoor or glass-filtered indoor solar radiation.
The technology, however, also exhibits some disadvantages. The spectral power distribution, for example, is directly dependent on plasma temperature. Changes in plasma temperature due to cooling/warming of luminaires, or changes to operating power (dimming) can have an immediate effect on the spectrum. Therefore, they are operated within a narrow power band; irradiance is determined by the distance.
The SolarConstant MHG series offers several luminaires based on MHG technology for high-end solar simulators. Special reflector designs guarantee the irradiance uniformity needed on your test object. For each new custom design, Atlas will run computer simulations with our proprietary modeling software to determine both the minimum number of SolarConstants required as well as their ideal positioning inside the chamber.
An Atlas team of professionals finally integrates the solar simulator into the environmental test chamber - either static or positionable/moveable in all spatial directions, depending on design.
The Atlas SolarConstant MHG 4000/2500 is the flagship of the SolarConstant product line. Special reflectors guarantee highly uniform irradiance patterns of multi-luminaire SolarConstant systems. Compared to halogen or infrared systems, they are the best solution to accurately determine the solar thermal load effects on components or full products, such as fit and finish, dimensional stability or thermal transmission. Further, they make Class B solar simulators useful for PV module light soaking testing and others.
The Atlas SolarConstant MHG 1500/1200 are the smaller luminaire, useful for small solar environmental test chambers with minimal distances to the test object. They can also be used in combination with the SolarConstant MHG 4000/2500 in array systems to fine-tune the coverage, especially over complex 3D test objects such as vehicles and military products.
The Atlas SolarConstant MIL is a special luminaire designed for diurnal solar cycling testing where different lamps are needed to step the irradiance levels. Applications range from solar heat load testing to plant growth research.
The operation of SolarConstant solar simulator systems is handled by a dedicated operator interface. Atlas provides tailored menu-driven software for the programming of each solar simulation system. Any solar profile, such as targeting a specific test object geometry (Limousine / SUV / Van), or a daytime (Morning / Noon / Afternoon) diurnal solar transit, can be stored and combined to create test sequences for a complete test program.
Atlas SolarTest 1200 is a small benchtop solar simulator designed for irradiating small specimens. Very popular in the PV-industry; for example, research studies of PV solar cells.

Home National Birju Salla gets life imprisonment, Rs 5 crore fine for hijack hoax on Jet flight in 2017
Birju Salla gets life imprisonment, Rs 5 crore fine for hijack hoax on Jet flight in 2017
AHMEDABAD, JUNE 11: A special NIA court in Ahmedabad on Tuesday found a businessman guilty of planting a hijack threat letter on a Mumbai-Delhi flight and awarded him with life imprisonment for the remainder of his life along with a fine of Rs. 5 crore. This is the first case against an individual under the Anti-Hijacking Act, 2016 (Amended) in the country.
In 2017, Birju Kishore Salla had left a note onboard a Jet Airways flight bound for Delhi from Mumbai, warning that there were hijackers and explosives onboard. According to the charge-sheet, filed on January 23, the accused, Birju Salla, did it in a "planned manner" – and preparation of the threat note was captured on the office CCTV camera.
Of the Rs. 5 crore fine, the court directed Salla to pay Rs. 1 lakh each to the pilot and co-pilot of flight. After the note was recovered, the flight made an emergency landing at the Ahmedabad airport on October 30, 2017. Judge Dave also ordered that Rs 50,000 be paid to 2 air hostesses and another Rs 25,000 to each of the other crew members on board. There were 115 passengers and 7 crew members aboard the flight
An NIA – filed on January 23, 2017, had stated that the accused had typed out the threat on his laptop at his Mumbai office the same morning of his flight and had got a print of it from the office printer, which he later put in the tissue paper box of in the plane's toilet.
The charge-sheet said Salla wrote in English: "Flight no 9w covered by Hijackers and aircraft should not be land and flown straight to POK. 12people on board. if you put landing gear you will hear the noise of people dying. don't take it as a joke…" A message in Urdu scribbled on the note was an exact translation of this English text by using Google Translator, the charge-sheet said.

This paper studies the hourly electricity load demand in the area covered by a utility situated in the southeast of Brazil. We propose a stochastic model which employs generalized long memory (by means of Gegenbauer processes) to model the seasonal behaviour of the load. The proposed model treats each hour's load separately as an individual series. This approach avoids modelling the intricate intra-day pattern (load profile) displayed by the load, which varies throughout the week as well as through the seasons. The forecasting performance of the model is compared with a SARIMA benchmark using the years of 1999 and 2000 as the holdout sample. The model clearly outperforms the benchmark. Moreover, we conclude that long memory behaviour is present in these data.

One of the best ways to speed up load times for the OS and apps on your PC is to upgrade your storage to a solid-state drive. However, given the high cost of these components, most folks are usually left deciding between high speed with an SSD or high capacity with a standard (significantly cheaper) spinning hard drive.
Intel believes it has a neat solution: its new Optane memory acts as a fast cache drive (essentially a bridge between your systems's storage and DRAM) that can boost performance by storing data needed to run your frequently used apps and games and making it more readily available to your PC than a traditional HDD.
The company says that you can expect it to reduce boot times by half and launch apps like Chrome up to five times faster; games and levels should also load about 65 percent faster than before. You'll notice improvements from the second time you launch your OS and programs with the Optane module installed, as it needs a chance to cache files at least once before it can be effective.
That's handy for people who prefer to stick with large hard drives for their storage needs. The Optane Memory modules fit into M.2 slots on supported desktop motherboards that work with Intel's new 7th-gen Kaby Lake Core processors and will be available in 16GB and 32GB capacities for $44 and $77 respectively when they arrive in stores on April 24. The company notes that Optane-equipped systems from the likes of ASUS, Dell, HP and Lenovo will arrive in the second quarter of 2017.
But what if you're already rocking an SSD? Intel says you'll experience a slight bump in performance, but the Optane modules are really designed to assist standard HDD-equipped machines.

Q: getting the value of $(ProjectDir), $(SolutionDir) in a vcproj file Is it possible to get the value of $(ProjectDir) or $(SolutionDir) programatically outside Visual Studio? My scenario is I need to read a vcproj file as a text file and get its properties like the outputdirectory etc.. problem is some properties contain environment variables like $(SolutionDir) and the like.

A: Well, you found out that looking at the .vcproj file isn't enough.  You need to know the .sln file as well.  You're kinda stuck until you resolve this.  Visual Studio will always create a .sln file when it loads a .vcproj file and cannot find a matching .sln.  Maybe you want to do that too.

The Omicron Deception; how long can they string out the mutation-stories?
(To join our email list, click here.)
Nothing mutates faster than a non-virus, except perhaps Tony Fauci's pronouncements about the "pandemic."
In early 2020, it all started with a "virus" no one had isolated. Meaning a phantom, a fake, a con, a non-entity. NO VIRUS TO THIS DAY.
Now we've had fake variants of the fakes. Delta; Omicron from Africa.
The Stupidity Index—how stupid a person has to be in order to believe the official COVID narrative—is expanding. The more variants, the dumber obedient people have to be, to go along with the show.
At some point, as the number of variants grows, even people who resemble sloths living their lives hanging upside down in trees, will wake up.
"What was that new mutation last week? And this one today? It really comes from Antarctica? And we have to stay indoors for another month? I just want to tailgate and sit in a stadium and scream and drink and watch football…"
Which has already been happening this fall. By the millions, people are pouring into packed venues every weekend to watch pro, college, and high school football. On November 27th, 104,000 sat unmasked, cheek to jowl, in Michigan Stadium as their beloved home team upset Ohio State—and at the end of the game at least 20,000 fans came out on the field to celebrate. The field and the stands formed one vast sea of humanity. Variant? What variant? Delta? Omicron? Are they college fraternities?
Vegas bookies may be getting ready to post an over/under number on the final total of CDC/WHO variants. I say it would be 5.
At 5, people will lose track. They'll forget the previous variants. They'll tend to ignore COVID news altogether.
The basic tactic since the beginning has been: invent new fantasies to explain prior fantasies. For example, "Vaccinated people can still catch COVID." That's a fantasy because there is no virus. Now comes, "The vaccinated people catching COVID are really being infected by a variant; Delta or Omicron; that's why the vaccine has become 'less effective'."
If you've ever forced yourself to sit through one of the hundred or so virus-outbreak movies, you know that at some point the scientific story line loses its impact. You're thinking, "Let's get to the car chase and the stuff blowing up and the people shooting each other."
That's what the movie is really about.
The COVID hoax is really about lockdowns and destruction of economies and lives and vaccine injury and death and tyrannical takeover of ruined society.
I'll give you another number. It really does exist. It's the grand total, worldwide, of people who are either: coming out into the street protesting the COVID restrictions and mandates; or ignoring them altogether and breaking all the rules and going about their lives unvaccinated.
I don't know what that number is, but when it's reached, the sociopaths will retreat. The genie will be out of the bottle for good.
Yes, it's a very big number. But when has freedom not had a price?
Apparently, many people believe the number doesn't matter, because God is going to intercede and make things right. It's hard for me to imagine He'll come through if most people, on their own, are doing NOTHING.
In the Old Testament, He seems to be chronically irked on this very point.
Starting in 1986, it took me two years to uncover the con that was HIV. I thought I had reached the bottom of it, but there were a few miles to go. Later, in the 1990s, I realized the bottom was NOTHING. That's right. This sometimes is the case in really long cons. You drill all the way down and you find an empty space where you thought something existed.
The bottom of the HIV con—as with SARS-CoV-2—is: the virus doesn't exist.
In prior articles, I've spelled this out in great detail.
It's stage magic. There is no woman in the box. When the magician saws off her legs, she's not there. As far as flesh is concerned, he's sawing through nothing.
The magician is selling the audience's illusion back to the audience.
As various propagandists have pointed out, the bigger the lie the easier it is to make it stick.
That's because people are only familiar with small or moderate-sized lies; and because the amount of Structure which would be overturned by the exposure of a huge lie is too threatening.
"You mean the FDA and the CDC and WHO are all going down? Disappearing into dust? But I feel comfortable with them. They're my friends. I don't want to see them disappear…"
I do. And tomorrow wouldn't be too soon.
And if the so-called branch of medical science called virology vanished from the Earth, there would be champagne corks popping in my house.
But for the moment, I'd be satisfied if all vaccine mandates everywhere were wiped off the books—just to give us some breathing room.
That revolution IS within our grasp, if enough of us build toward the critical-mass number I just alluded to above. It would be quite something to see. A fabulous jolt of adrenaline for the human race; for the right reason, for once.
Leave the Omicron and the Delta fantasies for the sloths on the couch. One day, they'll stir from their trance and stumble along to catch up with us.
For almost two years, I've been demonstrating that SARS-CoV-2 doesn't exist.
Instead, elite planners have been selling A STORY ABOUT A VIRUS.
In covert intelligence operations, this would be called a cover story. It obscures true goals. It justifies ongoing and future crimes that would otherwise be nakedly exposed.
For example, in my 1988 book, AIDS INC., I showed how the cover story about HIV was used in Africa.
For a very long time, the true causes of illness and death in areas of Africa have been: hunger; protein-calorie malnutrition; starvation; contaminated water supplies; poverty; war; farm land stolen from the people; corporate pollution; toxic medicines and vaccines; toxic pesticides; overcrowding in cities; lack of basic sanitation.
Most if not all of these causes could have been eliminated. But local governments did not want healthy people. Sick and dying people were easier to control, and taking away their land was an easier proposition.
Colluding with and paying off local government leaders, transnational corporations and foreign governments set up shop in these African countries and used the healthier people to work on their giant commercial farms and in their factories.
But in 1984, suddenly, there was a new (cover) story broadcast and sold to the world: what was really decimating Africa was HIV. THIS explained all the illness and dying.
The true causes, listed above, were shoved into the background.
Those true crimes were hidden, were permitted to continue unabated.
Not only that, the HIV cover story paved the way for pharmaceutical companies to rack up profits by selling extremely toxic AIDS drugs (e.g., AZT) to Africa.
The HIV test, which turned out false positives like Niagara Falls, made these drugs seem necessary—as fake case numbers soared.
People dying from the toxic medical treatments were, of course, listed as AIDS deaths.
And, as it turned out, HIV had never been isolated. Therefore, there was no proof it existed, no reason to suppose it existed.
Like AIDS, COVID-19 is also an intelligence-agency type covert op.
The short-term goal is wrecking economies. The long-term goal is taking the population into a new world of technocratic control.
Selling this as necessary all comes back to THE VIRUS COVER STORY.
"We're not forcing technocracy down the throats of the people. Certainly not. We're simply doing what we must, because of the danger of the virus…because everyone is a virus-spreader…(because too many people want their freedom)…"
Always identify and return to the cover story. Walk around it. Look at it from all sides. Walk into it from one side and exit from the other. Test it. The vital clues are there.
Another classic example: 2009, La Gloria, Mexico. Smithfield Foods, the largest pork producer in the world, operates a giant pig farm. 950,000 pigs.
The poisonous urine and feces from these 950,000 pigs run out into the open air and form what are called lagoons. They're so large, you can see them from outer space.
Workers spray the toxic lagoons with a toxic foam. It's routine.
Workers, and people in the surrounding neighborhood, are getting sick and dying. So new contractors are brought in to spray the lagoons with yet another toxic chemical.
Out of nowhere, guess who shows up? The CDC.
Guess what they conclude? It's not the urine and feces lagoons or the toxic chemicals causing illness and death. No. Of course not.
It's a new mysterious "virus." H1N1.
And voila, we have a new cover story and a new epidemic, called Swine Flu.
The cover story serves a number of purposes, as time passes. But the most obvious one is: Smithfield Foods is protected. They get away with murder.
And to cap it all off, four years later, in 2013, Smithfield, still protected, sells itself to a Chinese company, Shuanghui International Holdings, for $4.72 billion.
Here's what I wrote about Zika (another phantom virus) in 2015:
"Medical CIA" provides the cover story.
In Brazil, the so-called center of the "Zika epidemic," there are many problems in poverty-stricken areas that involve more than babies being born with small heads and brain impairment.
The grinding poverty itself, of course. Stolen farm land. Widespread corporate use of poisonous pesticides, some of which are banned in 22 other countries. Contaminated water supplies. Lack of basic sanitation. Overcrowding. Prior vaccine campaigns, in which toxic substances were injected directly into the bodies of people whose immune systems were already on the verge of collapsing. Toxic medical drugs.
In 2014, the Tdap vaccine (tetanus, diphtheria, whooping cough) was recommended for pregnant women. Among other toxic substances, this vaccine contains aluminum compounds. Aluminum can cross the blood-brain barrier and cause damage.
Workers are now fumigating areas with toxic sprays to kill mosquitoes. Soldiers are going door to door, handing out more toxic mosquito sprays for indoor use.
Combine all these factors, and you have an ongoing catastrophe.
It makes a great deal of sense to highlight, promote, and blame the "Zika virus" for what is actually going on in Brazil, if you want to distract and divert and obscure.
If you stopped the vaccine campaigns, stopped the spraying, and remedied the conditions I listed above, the health of the population would return and revive, without medical intervention.
Of course, the governments and their allied corporations have no intention of returning stolen land to the people. They have no intention of stopping the use of poisonous pesticides. Medical authorities have no intention of admitting they are concocting a story about a "virus," Zika, as a cover for their corporate and government allies, and as a pretext to have "a new disease" to treat and work on and solve. They have no intention of stopping toxic vaccine campaigns.
To cap it all off, the conditions the "virus" is supposed to be causing—babies born with small heads and brain damage—can result from ANY injury or insult to a pregnant woman or her infant. No virus required.
But…"Look here, at the virus. Don't look there."
Cover story.

The Nazi medical plan for control of the planet; World War Two never ended
At the end of the War, IG Farben executives were put on trial and, despite the efforts of Telford Taylor, the chief US prosecutor, and assistant prosecutor, Josiah DuBois, the sentences handed out were light.
For example, Fritz Ter Meer, a high-ranking Farben executive, was tried for mass medical murder and slavery, and sentenced to a paltry seven years in jail. He was released after three years, and went on to occupy a post as chairman of the advisory board of Bayer, a corporate branch on the tree of the infamous IG Farben, which supposedly had been disbanded…
I started writing about this subject 20 years ago, when I launched NoMoreFakeNews.com.
In this article, I'll present an overview.
In 1933, the largest cartel in the world, IG Farben, pushed Hitler over the top, enabling him to become Chancellor of Germany.
Farben was a global colossus. Pharmaceuticals, dyes, oil, rubber. It forged partnerships with Standard Oil, Dow, Dupont, Imperial Chemical Industries, Rhone-Poulenc.
US government official, Josiah DuBois, sent on a fact-finding mission to Guatemala, returned saying, "As far as I can tell, the nation is a wholly owned subsidiary of Farben."
The brilliant Farben chemists were modern alchemists. They were researching and producing synthetics far in advance of products formulated anywhere else in the world.
Their dream was material transformation: the ability to convert any element on the Periodic Table into any other element.
Meanwhile, Hitler was obsessed with another transformation: resurrecting what he believed was the lost Aryan Master Race. Through selective breeding, the elimination of lesser and unwanted human types, and other "scientific methods," a revival of Supermen would occur. And of course, they would then control the destiny of the planet.
Near the close of World War 2 in Europe, the leading lights of Farben and other German corporations, knowing that Hitler was a madman and a rank failure as a military strategist, decided they would have to redirect their efforts, go underground, remain invisible, and from the shadows carry on their war by other means. They were not done. Far from it. They had money, resources, brains, allies. And time.
But what would this new war look like? How would it proceed? Whose strings would they be pulling, and for what purpose?
Should they align themselves with a political movement?
There was one possibility. Socialism. Communism. It would be a convenient ruse. After all, Europe was devastated and exhausted by the War. The prevailing attitude was: "anything to avoid another armed conflict."
If the nations of Europe could enter into a cooperative future, link hands, bury long-standing enmities, soften geo-borders, engage in free trade, eventually adopt a common currency…
Thus, over a period of decades, the European Union was created. It was what Hitler had been aiming for: a merged continent.
And Germany assumed leadership, as the strongest economic powerhouse in Europe.
All without a shot being fired.
Socialism was spreading, in one form or another, all over the world. For the invisible Nazi architects, this was further evidence they should temporarily hitch their wagon to that star. After all, what was Socialism, really? Just a label for top-down control. The Marxist ideology was unimportant. Domination of populations was all that mattered.
And yet, something was missing. A method. A means. A non-political force that could gradually envelop the world and subdue it, torture it, assert control over billions of minds.
The Farben chiefs had the solution right in front of them. During the War, they had paid a pittance to the managers at Auschwitz, across the road, to send prisoners every day to their medical facility for "tests." Experiments. Vile grotesque experiments.
And going back several decades, the Nazi leadership had joined elite American eugenicists—the Rockefeller-Harriman forces—to investigate, promote, and utilize sterilization, abortion, medical murder to rid society of its "unfit members." Those Nazi-American connections still existed.
A branch of modern medicine was on the rise: psychiatry. This was a perfect opportunity to introduce, through completely arbitrary diagnoses of "mental disorders," debilitating brain-damaging drugs to whole populations. For purposes of pacification.
In fact, the whole Rockefeller model of medicine—one disease caused by one germ—a preposterous form of reductionism—was coming into its own. This meant massive numbers of drugs to treat patients.
Surely, these drugs could be made into toxic destroyers.
A plan was taking shape. A medical plan. THIS would be the invisible conquering force, flying under a politically neutral banner of "healing."
Create, in the long run, a cradle to grave system enrolling every human, who would trudge, during his lifetime, along a bleak road of 40 or 50 disease-diagnoses and toxic treatments—each treatment giving rise to new symptoms which would be labeled new diseases, requiring treatments…
As for the rank elimination of huge numbers of people on the planet—depopulation—this was a thornier problem. How to arrange it? How to conceal it?
The choice was clear: so-called pandemics. But how would they be staged? Microorganisms, those that actually existed and weren't mere fantasies, were notoriously unpredictable. The human body, despite all attacks against it, was strong and resilient.
There was no super-germ that could be released which would wipe out a few billion people. That was a dead end. Researchers in their labs, fabricating absurd tests for fairy-tale viruses, and failing to isolate viruses at all, weren't a help.
But a story about a virus, a story sold with enough fervor by controlled media and cooperating governments…that had possibilities, because the solution would be a vaccine.
The invisible architects would need a whole parade of these fake pandemics, over a long period of time, in order to convince the world population that such scenarios were real.
One by one, pandemic stories could appear and be sold. And DOCTORS would be the messiahs.
COVID is of course the strongest story to date. And the vaccines will, in the long term, be the most debilitating and destructive of all shots.
But it's doubtful COVID will be the last pandemic story. If a product is a major winner, sell a variation of it. And another.
When we look at and examine horrific events of varying dimensions—the medical experiments in the Nazi concentration camps; the infamous Tuskegee syphilis experiment; the murder of many live infants aborted to obtain their organs for research; the use of high-dose AZT to kill people diagnosed with AIDS; the vaccine campaigns in the Philippines and Kenya designed to cause future miscarriages in pregnant women; the CIA MKULTRA mind control program…
These are glimpses into an overall medical war aimed at humanity.
The alchemical program of IG Farben is now supplemented with technological advances in the fields of genetics and computer science. The envisioned transformation of humans into Brave New World androids and brain-computer hybrids are medical assaults.
The Nazi doctor, Josef Mengele, known as the Angel of Death, said: "The more we do to you, the less you seem to believe we are doing it."
This is the slogan of the Nazi-Rockefeller medical cartel.
The hypnotic power of The Doctor needs to be dismantled and broken to pieces.

The Individual vs. the digital platform; the global rebellion vs. the machine
Washing away the stink of obedience
Using fascist vaccine mandates and passports, governments are expanding their digital platform, which is a surveillance and control system.
The excuse is: "We have to keep track of everyone who receives the vaccine…we have to make sure they update their booster shots…we have to know the people who are refusing the vaccine… "
Of course, the platform reaches out into, and collects, all sorts of personal information about every person. Medical records, social media presence, consumer habits, political preferences, etc.
Underlying this massive and ongoing effort is the assumption that The Individual is a social construct. A unit. An assemblage of data.
This unit is entered into algorithms governing millions of units.
Thus, the living individual disappears. He is now an abstraction.
The repressive State takes on the shape of a technocracy:
"We regulate what units (humans) can and can't do. We fit these units into an overall pattern of enforced behavior that achieves the greatest good for all…"
It turns out that many people, badly educated, trained to think of themselves as eternal victims, and resentful toward Constitutional liberties, are content to be plugged into systems that track them and tell them what to do.
These are the people who are always thinking about what other people are thinking of them. They are the foot soldiers of the Great Reset.
On the other hand, The Individual who knows he is alive, independent, and far more than a biological machine, who wants freedom…that Individual has a vision of his existence that outstrips any platform, algorithm, or fetid version of "greatest good."
That Individual is who I write for.
I don't write for ant colonies of the 21st century.
In 1928, the father of modern propanda, Edward Bernays, stated: "This is an age of mass production. In the mass production of materials a broad technique has been developed and applied to their distribution. In this age, too, there must be a technique for the mass distribution of ideas…The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized. Vast numbers of human beings must cooperate in this manner if they are to live together as a smoothly functioning society."
For Bernays, and his political descendants, "smoothly functioning society" has meant mass mind control.
Indeed, Bernays also wrote: "It is sometimes possible to change the attitudes of millions but impossible to change the attitude of one man."
The one man is the disrupter of the machinery.
The vaccine mandates and the passports are a large jump in the direction of mass/group surrender.
In this expanding technocracy, it's no accident that the main component of propaganda is "science." Technocracy itself is based on the misapplied "scientific" notion that, since a properly functioning machine is composed of many connected and integrated parts, human society should be built in the same fashion.
COVID "science" is a structure made up of interconnected facts—all of which turn out to be gross lies. I've spent the past year exposing those lies (see here and here for boil downs).
The best propaganda appears to be true to those who can't think, who can't summon up the desire and will to break out of the system.
The life-force inside every person, whether he knows it or not, wants to break out.
Rock-bottom materialists, who try to deny this force exists, will sooner or later succumb to some piece of propaganda and surrender to The Group.
In these times, The Group wants a digital platform to control their actions. The Group wants to submit to authorities who claim to have altruistic motives. The Group wants to fight for the right to be slaves.
However, as the vise tightens on the population, more and more individuals are realizing the mass and the group and collective and the digital platform and the prevailing propaganda narrative are spelling doom for them. They made a mistake in joining up and surrendering.
The altruism they've been supporting is a fake.
Their false gods have gone too far.
Before they slip into the final Big Sleep, more and more Individuals are stirring and waking up.
Their mind shackles are loosening.
More and more Individuals are realizing the talking news heads and the governors and presidents and prime ministers and premiers are puppets. The governments and bureaucracies are Police States. The promised new day is really a long night.
And so comes the rebellion. It is widening.
There is now a clear choice. Be a free and independent Individual, or be a loser, an ally of inhuman technocracy and tyranny.
History.com: "'These are the times that try men's souls; the summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph'."
"When these phrases [written by Thomas Paine] appeared in the pages of the Pennsylvania Journal for the first time, General George Washington's troops were encamped at McKonkey's Ferry on the Delaware River opposite Trenton, New Jersey. In August, they had suffered humiliating defeats and lost New York City to British troops. Between September and December, 11,000 American volunteers gave up the fight and returned to their families. General Washington could foresee the destiny of a rebellion without an army if the rest of his men returned home when their service contracts expired on December 31. He knew that without an upswing in morale and a significant victory, the American Revolution would come to a swift and humiliating end."
"Thomas Paine was similarly astute. His Common Sense was the clarion call that began the revolution. As Washington's troops retreated from New York through New Jersey, Paine again rose to the challenge of literary warfare. With American Crisis, he delivered the words that would salvage the revolution."
"Washington commanded that the freshly printed pamphlet be read aloud to his dispirited men; the rousing prose had its intended effect. Reciting Paine's impassioned words, the beleaguered troops mustered their remaining hopes for victory and crossed the icy Delaware River to defeat hung-over Hessians on Christmas night and on January 2, the British army's best general, Earl Cornwallis, at the Battle of Princeton. With victory in New Jersey, Washington won not only two battles, but also the love and thanks of man and woman."

COVID: Martyrdom Meets Fascism
I have a stack of articles I've yet to publish. I wrote this one on April 21, 2021.
Collectivism: "Everybody is connected to everybody. Government decides how they're connected, and what they must do, to contribute to the Greater Whole."
Anytime someone tells you…
You can't exercise your freedom…
Because every move you make adversely affects someone else…
Know you're looking at a con.
"By walking out on the street in New York without a mask, yawning, stretching your arms, looking at the sky, you're devastating the life of a man in Bombay."
It's the wet dream of every little Collectivist. "We really ARE all in this together. Finally."
Meanwhile, every corrupt politician sees the opportunity to tell lies and issue edicts on a larger stage. The curtain is going up, and he can sink his teeth into a leading role. He can bloviate to his heart's content about The Good. He's fighting a war and he doesn't have to expose himself to a single bullet from the enemy. He's Mussolini and he has medical backup.
Political Lefties have been waiting for this moment, too. Workers of the world, unite…it never achieved traction in America. It was a loser. But this; this SCIENTIFIC DICTATORSHIP; why didn't anyone try it before? It's such an obvious hole card. We're all equal, we all carry the virus. Beautiful.
And big money people can gobble up distressed properties and assets at bargain basement prices. Buy a block, buy a town, buy a farm, buy a strip of buildings right through the middle of a city, buy a nation.
"I'm just trying to do my part and help the economy…"
"You know, at first I was thinking of moving out of New York. The rampant crime, the horrific taxes. But then I realized I could buy New York."
Authors have been launching bad science fiction novels about collective "humanity coming together as one" for a hundred years. There's an ominous and imminent threat to the planet from an alien force; people of all nations band together and repel the invader.
The authors omit one factor: who is going to run the newly unified planet, and how are they going to run it?
The answer is: people you wouldn't want to allow within ten miles of your children. How are they going to rule? Mechanically. "Humans are units who need to be trained to think the same thoughts."
Why is that vicious program hard to understand? Because most people are not independent-minded. They have no history of thinking beyond prescribed borders, on their own, with no concern about consensus.
Therefore, they believe "a little bit of fascism" might be good for us. It isn't that far from their own ideas and opinions.
As for dumb-as-a-rock mainstream medical scientists, it never occurs to them that COVID case and death numbers are being jacked up, rigged, and faked by every possible means, in order to sell the notion that a virus is attacking Earth.
If this really were a viral pandemic, no faking of numbers would be necessary.
Why WOULD these medical scientists wake up? Their own "science" is forced and artificial consensus. "We who publish in the most prestigious journals are, by definition, dispensing truth. Everyone else is an outlier."
COVID is a system and a syndicate, pushing collectivism like heroin.
Most political leaders believe the people must be fed a strong diet of maxims, slogans, memes, and headlines. "The masses will always be stupid. Slogans guide and control them. Otherwise, there would be sheer chaos."
From that basis, collectivism follows. All problems, at the top, are strategic; how can propaganda work to form bubbles of consent?
As I've warned for the past 30 years, the medical cartel is the most powerful of all information outlets. It can shape public opinion like no other elite group.
Tests, diagnoses, and treatments are the raw material of the cartel. Shaping that clay into structures of preposterous threats—"a pandemic has reached our shores"—the leverage is magnified beyond the expectations of even the most optimistic propagandists.
Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Mao never dreamed of such a ploy.
"You mean, with media and government pronouncements, and just a modest degree of police crackdown, we can cow a whole population into wearing masks and refraining from public gatherings? We can even order them to submit to house arrest without firing a shot? We can tell workers and business proprietors to shut down and they'll voluntarily follow orders? A miracle."
Not only that, the population will believe they're on the side of justice and truth.
Until the oppressive collective trance expands to the limit of its elasticity, snaps, and the shit hits the fan.
The New Eugenics: Transhumanism and the Myth of the 4th Industrial Revolution
The 're-organization' of the world's societies, cultures, economies and politics seem to be occurring at an ever rapid pace. International bodies controlled by technocrats all seem to be telling us, and the governments of the world, 'how it's going to be', and why it is 'all for our own good'. A relatively small group of […]
Data Banks and Collective Delusions
This article is a follow-up to my piece last week, Data Sets, Fraud, and the Future. [1]
Let's say a minor religion emerges in Ohio. Its basis is a story about a miraculous tree growing in an arid desert.
The only problem is, if the members of this Church bothered to check, they would discover the exact place where the tree supposedly grew was no desert. Instead, it was an ocean. The ocean had been there for a billion years.
But no one bothers to check. They collectively INVENT AND ACCEPT the notion of the tree in the desert. They're not aware that this is what they're doing, but they ARE doing it.
They build rituals and ceremonies and art—"data banks"—around the idea of the tree.
The same factors are present in the case of promoting a new virus. In this situation—the virus is collectively dreamed up and accepted by virologists—the "checking" would occur by doing a retrospective step-by-step analysis of what happened in the lab where the virus was "discovered."
But no analysis is carried out. None of the professionals believes it's necessary. The traditional methods of virus-discovery are beyond reproach.
And if an outsider, a skeptic demands an inquiry into the process of discovery, he is labeled a sinner. The lab is an inner sanctum. The mere presence of an outsider looking over the shoulders of the researchers (priests) at work would be an offense against the Church.
What we're left with is a collective idea whose content is: "new virus."
"Would you like to look at our line of hats that go with your new virus?"
"How about a mutant strain?"
"The vaccine, of course, is free."
Another collective idea: the 300 official mental disorders, promoted by the American Psychiatric Association. The truth is, the so-called disorders have no accompanying definitive lab tests, for diagnosis.
Collective ideas give rise to data banks and data sets that bolster and expand the original ideas.
"25% of all college students [2] have at least one mental disorder." Here are the studies and surveys and confirmations from leading researchers—data sets.
"Three major public health organizations have formed a task force to study solutions to the growing mental illness problem among college students." More data sets will be created and deposited in data banks.
"MIT and Harvard, cooperating in a federally funded program, are developing AI software that will predict future trends in mental illness among college students, in an effort to identify preventive measures which might head off this growing problem…" More data sets placed in data banks—but this time, all the work, and its logic, are hidden behind walls of automatic AI.
Collectivism=collective ideas=data banks filled with supposed confirmation of the truth of the ideas.
The whole op involves creating more and more layers between the data sets and the original collective ideas, until no one considers examining those ideas.
As IoT (Internet of Things), enabled by 5G tech, makes more of the functions of society automatic, successive generations of the populations are pushed farther and farther away from the collective ideas which form the basis of AI programs.
Here is a passage from John Klyczek's article, "From UNESCO Study 11 to UNESCO 2050: Project BEST and the Forty-Year Plan to Reimagine Education for the Fourth Industrial Revolution," [3] published at unlimitedhangout.com. Consider the sheer number of layers, data sets, and AI involved in the monster project Klyczek is describing:
"…UNESCO's Study 11 was carried out through international public-private partnerships between communist, socialist, and capitalist countries coordinating efforts between multinational telecommunications and computer corporations. Working in concert with academic institutions and national government agencies, Study 11 affiliates lobbied to restructure laws in order to globalize school systems through proto-internet technologies manufactured by Big Tech companies, such as Microsoft, IBM, and Apple, which are now steering the Fourth Industrial Revolution into a new political system of communitarian technocracy driven by a new economic system of 'stakeholder capitalism' through 'community-based' public-private partnerships that are managed by Big Data."
"…schools around the entire world are forced to rely on the technocratic IT infrastructure that has been set up by Study 11 and Project BEST through their public-private partnerships with Microsoft, Apple, and IBM. These partnerships are now converting brick-and-mortar schoolhouses into virtual classrooms that digitally data-mine students through computer hardware devices, such as Apple iPads and Macbooks, which transmit video teleconferencing through software programs, including Microsoft Teams, supplemented by adaptive-learning courseware and other artificial-intelligence applications like IBM's Watson Education."
Getting the picture? Imagine how many parents are hypnotized and baffled by the total load of data sets which establish this new global education system, vs. the number of parents who will see through the layers of the con to the collectivist root.
Want a parallel? Try the current debate over the origin of the "pandemic virus." It jumped from bat to human. No, perhaps other animals carried it. No, it was born in a Wuhan lab. Fauci and his agency funded gain-of function research at the lab. Well, perhaps they did, but the total amount of money was really an insignificant pittance. What did Fauci know, and when did he know it? Layer after layer, built higher and higher.
And at bottom, the virus was never isolated (never discovered), and it was never authentically sequenced. It was an idea, collectively concocted. [4]
Every death from, and case of, COVID virus infection can be explained (as I have, over the past year) without the need for, or reference to, a virus. [5]
In the old days, a stage magician would show his empty hands, then start pulling the edge of a colored handkerchief from one closed fist. A whole string of handkerchiefs would appear. But now, the magician presents 12 empty cabinets stacked on top of one another, and he seems to make those handkerchiefs ascend from the lowest to the highest cabinet.
Each cabinet is a data bank, and he isn't even on the stage. He's a hundred miles away talking to the audience via Zoom.
And soon, he won't be a he. He'll be a constructed image of a human.
And the image won't be transporting handkerchiefs. It'll be notifying people they have a disease; and the drugs will arrive promptly at their door.
The drugs will be toxic and won't heal. The diagnosis will be flawed or completely irrelevant. The standard cause of the so-called disease will be false. The research on which the cause was based will be fake.
Just like now. But the layers of AI data all along the line will transmit a more powerful illusion.

1. Why having a lack of trust leads to divorce?
2. Why financial problem leads to divorce?
3. Why alcohol and drug abuse leads to divorce?
4. Why a career leads to divorce?
5. Why family problem leads to divorce?
When you were first married, the thought of divorcing your spouse was as far away as the moon. But the sad reality is that some couples grow apart in the ensuing years. Whether you choose to divorce your spouse when the kids are small, or perhaps you thought it would be best for all concerned to hold off for awhile. Maybe things might improve.
Before you were married you knew that your companion was always a flirt. But that did not bother you because you were both free to see other people. When you both became engaged, the flirting did not subside and you convinced yourself that he/she would change once you are married. The truth of the matter is that your companion continued to flirt with other people in marriage and that raised your suspicions of infidelity. And you convince yourself that your spouse is having an affair.
Some married couples never got a break financially, and it appears as though they were living on a prayer. Going through the indignity of having your electricity cut or debt collectors hounding you on a regular basis is enough to split any marriage apart. For the sake of your sanity many couple call it quits.
Things tend to get messy in situations where there is alcohol or drug abuse in a marriage. Substance abuse in a marriage sometimes lead to domestic violence where the spouse has to flee the marital home to avoid being battered. Living under these conditions would lead to a divorce.
Some couples might have to tolerate living apart for long periods in the year because either one or both spouses have careers that takes them around the globe for months on end. Long distance relations puts a strain on people because their emotional and physical needs are not being met. The odds of either one of you falling in love with someone else or even taking a lover is high. Discord and rancor soon steps in and the marriage sours leading to a divorce.
It takes a lot of effort to make your marriage work and it does not help matters when you have to deal with disapproving in-laws. Typical mother-in-law drama is usually at the heart of the matter when the bride was disapproved of from the beginning. Added to the frustration that her husband does not stand up for her. Tensions soon reach boiling point and the marriage falls apart at the seams.
There are instances where the married couple comes from polar opposite backgrounds and the cultural differences begin to surface. Unable to cope by adjusting within the marriage to make things work. Some couples opt for a divorce instead.
Couples should always make every effort to preserve their marriage by seeking psychic counseling, where you are can participate in a tarot reading that can accurately identify the source of the problem. By working along with your psychic you can resolve your marital issues and hopefully it will not end in divorce.

LENGTH X WIDTH X HEIGHT: 176.4 x 70.5 x 61.4 in.
BOTTOM LINE: The Nissan Leaf has advanced from a fairly small to a mid-size sedan that can be a real player in the electric car market.
Electric cars have been hampered fro years by range anxiety. Early electrics had ranges of less than 50 miles before requiring recharging. Tesla leapfrogged its competition by offering a claimed 250-300 mile range. The competition is now heating up.
The Nissan Leaf was one of the first mass-market full electrics, and the first iteration forced drivers to be constantly aware of how much charge remained and how far they could go before running out of juice. The redesigned 2018 Leaf sports a larger 40Kwh battery that can allow the Leaf to travel up to 170 miles on a full charge. That should mean no range anxiety, except….
We drove the Leaf for four days without recharging. I had reservations for dinner at a local winery that was 16 miles away (according to my GPS) and I had 50 miles of range left in the Leaf. I could have detoured slightly on the trip home if necessary to reach a charging station, but I decided to gut it out and we made it home with 10 miles to spare. Coasting down hills helped in power conservation.
However, I charged the car overnight from a 110-volt outlet. In the morning, only 70 percent of power appeared on the meter. A second night brought it up to 100 percent and 170 miles, but I was still reluctant to try a 130-mile round trip.
On my normal "handling hill," I used 5 miles in range climbing the hill, and none going downhill. It was the same on the return trip.
Overall, I am impressed by the Leaf. Silent operation is a plus and can be addictive. True, there's some tire noise that intrudes into the cabin, but it is slight.
The electric motor delivers enough power to keep up with other vehicles on the road. There is no lack of power, thanks to the electric motor that delivers instant torque from 0 rpm. Handling is also very good for a small car. The suspension is firm, but not too firm. It seemed strange to have (almost) sports car handling from a small car and no sound.
Among the new technologies in the Leaf is the e-Pedal, that allows the driver the simplicity of accelerating, decelerating and stopping the car by using the accelerator pedal alone. By releasing the accelerator, the Leaf will come to a smooth and complete stop without the need to press the brake pedal.
Front seats are comfortable and invite silent touring. Rear seats offer cozy legroom, and I hit my head on entering the back seats. There's adequate cargo capacity, and with the rear seat backs folding easily, I could fit my golf clubs back there. In fact, with a little creative stowing, I could fit the clubs there without dropping the back seat backs.
The driver faces a simple instrument panel that consists of a speedometer on the right and, most important, range details on the bottom (percent charge and range).
The navigation screen is clear, with Nissan's reverse camera adding a 360-degree "overhead" view.
There's no gear selector per se. In the center of the console, right where your hand rests, is a mouse-like tool. Like a good mouse, it is comfortable to use, and like some similar shifters with a stalk of some kind, it's easy to use. Shift the "mouse" to the left and down to hit drive, shift it to the left and up for reverse. Park is a button in the middle.
Overall, the Nissan Leaf may not win the range wars, but it is a perfectly useable electric car with all the attributes you would expect. It is a big improvement over the previous generation in all areas.
The 2019 Kia Sorento claims its place.
New faces covering the new face of Ford.

Macias Lopez Helps Chic Boutique Expand its Reach
Junior Estefany Macias Lopez is a doer. She likes being involved and participating. She's working with the Chic Boutique club on campus in the hope of spending much of her spring inside the McCain Student Center.
"I'm already a regular in McCain. I'm there all the time," she said with a laugh. "I really wanted to do something. I love helping the community and I love doing things like this."
She's referring to Chic Boutique expanding into more formal and professional attire. The club already gathers and distributes casual clothes to students on campus for free, but now the two are collaborating to provide something that meshes well with the College's goal of blurring the lines between college and career by allowing students to "check out" proper attire for job or internship interviews.
"Everybody does an internship or has an interview or has some kind of important event to attend at some point," the political economy major said. "It's not just one group or another."
Senior Jad Jabareen, the president of Chic Boutique, agrees. When he arrived as a freshman, the club didn't exist yet and he didn't own formal attire of his own until his junior year.
"Being able to borrow a suit would really help someone," said Jabareen, a business administration major. "I think this program has a lot of potential to positively influence a lot of students on campus."
So the two are working together to provide this service to students free of charge. Students will be asked to fill out a form when checking out the clothes so the club can keep track of the garments. Macias Lopez says certain items will likely just be given to students to keep, but higher-priced items, like suits, will just be loaned. There is no cost to the students. The club has already secured some donations with the goal of having the professional-attire area fully functional by January.
Vice President of High Impact Practices Latonia Haney Keith sees what the club is doing – both in general and with the new, professional-attire venture – as prime indicators of what the College is all about.
"Chic Boutique embodies our One College of Idaho values – students helping fellow students on their journey of exploration from college to career," Haney Keith said. "It is also a perfect example of how students put The College of Idaho's robust liberal arts education to work by tackling and solving an issue and leading change on and off-campus."
Students are encouraged to come by Chic Boutique's area on the second floor in McCain, near the ASCI student government chambers. While the Boutique does not have daily hours of operation, it will start hosting regular openings again for students soon. The openings will be announced through email and on the club's Instagram page (@chicboutique.cofi). Macias Lopez plans to be active via social media as well, starting a separate Instagram account for the professional attire. She wants to involve alumni by inviting them to talk to students via Instagram about preparing for the future. The new section of the Boutique has already secured one corporate grant and donation from Idaho Central Credit Union to help students get dressed for success.
"I believe that this is the place that gives the possibility for some of the students in need of clothes like that, formal clothes, they can get access to those clothes easily for free," Jabareen said.
Macias Lopez is appreciative of the help she has received from Jabareen and Chic Boutique as the two share the same goal.
"I really hope it helps students," she said.
For more information about Chic Boutique or the new professional-attire initiative, contact Jad Jabareen or Estefany Macias Lopez.
