Frank Olson Family Sues CIA Over Bioweapons Expert's Mysterious 1953 Death
by Frederick J. Frommer, 28th November 2012
WASHINGTON — The sons of a Cold War scientist who plunged to his death in 1953 several days after unwittingly taking LSD in a CIA mind-control experiment sued the government Wednesday. They claimed the CIA murdered their father, Frank Olson, by pushing him from a 13th-story window of a hotel – not, as the CIA says, that he jumped to his death.
Sons Eric and Nils Olson of Frederick, Md., sought unspecified compensatory damages in the lawsuit filed in federal court, but their lawyer, Scott D. Gilbert, said they also want to see a broad range of documents related to Olson's death and other matters that they say the CIA has withheld from them since the death.
Olson was a bioweapons expert at Fort Detrick, the Army's biological weapons research center in Maryland. Their lawsuit claims the CIA killed Olson when he developed misgivings after witnessing extreme interrogations in which they allege the CIA committed murder using biological agents Olson had developed.
The CIA had a program in the 1950s and `60s called MK-ULTRA, which involved brainwashing and administering experimental drugs like LSD to unsuspecting individuals. The project was investigated by Congress in the 1970s.
Olson consumed a drink laced with LSD by CIA agents on Nov. 19, 1953, the suit says. Later that month, after being taken to New York City purportedly for a "psychiatric" consultation, Olson plunged to his death.
At the time – when Eric and Nils Olson were 9 and 5 years old, respectively – the CIA said he died in an accident and did not divulge to his family that Olsen had been given LSD.
But in 1975, a commission headed by Vice President Nelson Rockefeller released a report on CIA abuses that included a reference to an Army scientist who had jumped from a New York hotel days after being slipped LSD in 1953. Family members threatened to sue, but President Gerald Ford invited the family to the White House, assuring them they would be given all the government's information. CIA Director William Colby handed over documents and the family accepted a $750,000 settlement to avert a lawsuit.
In an email, CIA spokeswoman Jennifer Youngblood said that while the agency doesn't comment on matters before U.S. courts, "CIA activities related to MK-ULTRA have been thoroughly investigated over the years, and the agency cooperated with each of those investigations." She noted that tens of thousands of pages related to the program have been released to the public.
In a statement, Eric Olson said that the CIA has not given a complete picture of what happened to his father.
"The evidence shows that our father was killed in their custody," he said. "They have lied to us ever since, withholding documents and information, and changing their story when convenient."

the last link is way over the top in my opinion,specially the part on joseph mengele
consistency is the hobdob
of small minds[
could you explain what you mean sj, because i'm not sure which part you're refering to? i've just reread the bit on mengele and there's nothing that stands out as being OTT.
the fact that they took him to the usa i think is far fetched,there are several documentaries in which they trace him to south america where he allegedly died of old age,i don't remember exactly which docu i saw,it was a long time ago,bbc,i think,i'll look for a link
sporkium
-the voice of reason-
the wiki gives a fairly reasonable account of his life after germany folded to the day he died: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josef_Mengele
the largest issue i am having with this is that sections like this:
Wacko Conspiracy Theorist Wrote: "Dr. Joseph Mengele of Auschwitz notoriety was the principle developer of the trauma-based Monarch Project and the CIA's MK Ultra mind control programs. Mengele and approximately 5, 000 other high ranking Nazis were secretly moved into the United States and South America in the aftermath of World War II in an Operation designated Paperclip. The Nazis continued their work in developing mind control and rocketry technologies in secret underground military bases. The only thing we were told about was the rocketry work with former Nazi star celebrities like Warner Von Braun. The killers, torturers, and mutilators of innocent human beings were kept discretely out of sight, but busy in U.S. underground military facilities which gradually became home to thousands upon thousands of kidnapped American children snatched off the streets (about one million per year) and placed into iron bar cages stacked from floor to ceiling as part of the 'training'. These children would be used to further refine and perfect Mengele's mind control technologies. Certain selected children (at least the ones who survived the 'training') would become future mind controlled slaves who could be used for thousands of different jobs ranging anywhere from sexual slavery to assassinations. A substantial portion of these children, who were considered expendable, were intentionally slaughtered in front of (and by) the other children in order to traumatize the selected trainee into total compliance and submission"
cites a foot note for reference that is quoted from here: http://educate-yourself.org/mc/ and does not cite any reference or source of information at all.
how, let's assume that there is some validity here... wait... let's not because we come to this passage: "innocent human beings were kept discretely out of sight, but busy in U.S. underground military facilities which gradually became home to thousands upon thousands of kidnapped American children snatched off the streets (about one million per year) and placed into iron bar cages stacked from floor to ceiling as part of the 'training'."
dafaq? seriously?
further down the page, there is also a paragraph entitled, "Worldwide Electronic Mind Control via 'Cell Phone' Towers."
while it is common knowledge that scientists under the direction of the cia conducted drug and mind control experiments on volunteers, the olsen family also settled with the government in 1975 for $750,000.
seems to me that they just want to try to milk a little more money out of this. the fact that olsen did not know he was being dosed with lsd is irrelevant as part of any drug study involves creating two groups: one given the drug and the other given the placebo.
"Yeah. I understand the mechanics of it, shithead. I just don't understand how this is any less retarded than what I'm suggesting." - Kiley; Housebound.
here is the link to a video,although not the one i was looking for
further, i agree with sporky on the conspiracy bit,very far felched and wacko,except giving lsd to unsuspected people,it's not aspirin,you know
mm. i've been rereading the info on the link, and there's loads of contradictions and sweeping generalisations that aren't sourced yet are presented as fact. If Mengele's work was confiscated by the allies and is still classified today, then where does the site get its claims from? i'm guessing someplace where there's multicoloured unicorns running around.
Mengele is referred to as 'the most significant programmer... the father of Monarch programming,' and 'the principle developer.' A few paragraphs later and Mengele's research merely 'serves as a basis for... MK-ULTRA.' So one minute Mengele is the father of Monarch, the next his research contributed to the understanding of mind control. The statements about Mengele come from Ken Adachi, in his book, 'Mind Control: The Ultimate Terror.' Seems Adachi is one of the most hated men on the interwebz, and is referred to as a stooge, an uneducated hypocrite, and someone who operates a misinformation database. I've seen examples of people challenging his sensationalist claims, only for him to berate them for a spelling mistake, or tries humiliating them with a caustic personal attack, rather than just explain himself - something he clearly is incapable of doing, with him being an agent of bullshit an all.
I've personally never heard of Mengele living it up in the U.S., and what i find interesting is what has not been said. Why no mention of the Japanese? The link focuses on Nazis, when it was the japs who made significant strides in trauma based mind control. No nod to Ivan Pavlov either, who i would call the real father of control/conditioning after his research and experiments on dogs, which was then taken further by the Russians. And by 'further' i mean human experiments, which man has always conducted, regardless of the moral and ethical issues surrounding it. We wouldn't have chemotherapy to treat cancer today if it wasn't for the secret experiments performed on American citizens decades ago.
btw, if anyone wants to read more about covert experiments on humans, i recommend reading any of Jonathon D Moreno's books (darpa), which give detailed accounts of what, where, when, etc, and everything is referenced too. Ken Adachi is simply a prick who puts out misinformation that only sheep would believe (without verification) and follow. Thanks for pointing out the glaring inaccuracies guys.

Key Exec Peter Bradbury Is Leaving as Nielsen Sets Reorganization
By Jon Lafayette
last updated 2 December 2022
Chief commercial officer had been with measurement company for 26 years

Nielsen chief commercial officer Peter Bradbury is exiting at the end of the year as part of a larger reorganization at the measurement company.
Nielsen, bought by a group of private equity investors led by Elliott Investment Management in October, is being challenged by alternative measurement providers and is in the process of replacing its current ratings system with Nielsen One. The new system will incorporate big data along with Nielsen's viewing panels to better capture multi-platform viewing as more consumers stream programming.
Nielsen One had been slated to launch by the end of the year and is now scheduled for release on January 11, industry sources said. Customers are planning to be trained on the new system at "boot camps" starting next week. Customers are prevented from sharing information about Nielsen One by nondisclosure agreements that include nondisparagement clauses.
The reorganization is designed to streamline Nielsen's measurement and metadata businesses to accelerate growth, a company spokesperson said.
Industry sources said that Bradbury, who had been with the company 26 years, is only one of a half dozen senior executives that will be leaving Nielsen. In part, the sources said, heads are rolling because despite assurances made publicly by Nielsen CEO David Kenny, the Media Rating Council has not restored its accreditation of Nielsen's TV ratings system.
Nielsen lost its accreditation after it was found to have been undercounting viewing during the pandemic.
A key question is how the departure of senior executives will impact the rollout of Nielsen One.
Of the executives said to be leaving Nielsen, the one of most interest to industry observers is Mainak Mazumdar, the company's chief data and research officer.
"He played an enormous part in getting Nielsen One to the marketplace and telling customers it was legitimate," said one industry executive who heard Mazumdar was leaving Nielsen. "It's like cutting the starting quarterback on the eve of the big game."
Nielsen declined to specifically say if Mazumdar was staying or leaving the company. It also declined to comment on the status of chief product officer Eric Bosco, chief human resources officer Laurie Lovett and chief growth officer Sean Cohan.
Industry executives have questioned when Nielsen One would be ready to be used as currency for the industry, particularly because it has not yet been accredited by the Media Rating Council.
Also: In New Setback, Nielsen Says Its 'Big Data' Isn't Ready for Transacting
The MRC is currently auditing most of the data inputs that are being used for Nielsen One, including digital data and television data. It is also auditing internal process changes Nielsen has been making, such as increasing meter-data capture granularity at a sub-minute level, MRC CEO George Ivie said.
"There was a delay in September in implementing the inclusion of big data into Nielsen's national TV ratings because of new processes Nielsen was implementing," Ivie said.
"At that time we chose to delay our auditing of that so we could capture those new processes in our audit because we believed they were important," he added. "That's not new, but that's a data input that is being audited following Nielsen's revised timeline which is to bring this forward later in 2023.
"As the Nielsen One implementation gets closer we expect to be auditing the reporting, user interface and other back-office specifics, but that has always been the plan and it's not delayed to my knowledge," Ivie said.
As chief commercial officer, Bradbury had overall responsibility for building and accelerating Nielsen's growth through partnerships across audience measurement, impact, sports and Gracenote content measurement. His role also included Nielsen's advertiser and media-agency teams, as well as media analytics.
In his biography, Nielsen said Bradbury's "deep industry knowledge and growth mindset have led Nielsen through transformation, including the current evolution to Nielsen One, the firm's cross-media measurement solution." ■

Osteopenia of prematurity.
J R James,

Bone mineral content of the forearm was measured by photon absorptiometry in 17 preterm infants at a postconceptional age of 40 weeks. Radiographs of the forearm were assessed by Koo's method and plasma alkaline phosphatase activity was also measured at this time. Bone mineral content was significantly but weakly correlated with Koo score and was not significantly correlated with alkaline phosphatase activity. Neither of these two commonly used investigations accurately predicts the presence of underlying bone disease. Compared with 15 full term infants the preterm infants had significantly lower values of bone mineral content, palpated ulnar length, and crown-heel length. After adjusting for weight and ulnar length the preterm group still had a significantly lower mean value of bone mineral content than the full term group. Accurate diagnosis of osteopenia of prematurity requires photon absorptiometry, with bone mineral content assessed relative to body weight or ulnar length.

THE NATIONAL FOREST INVENTORY (NFI) What is the NFI?
The National Forest Inventory (NFI) was created in 1958 as a department of the French Ministry in charge of forests (until now, the Ministry of Agriculture), in order to assess French forest resources. It carries out a permanent inventory of national forest resources, independently of all ownership issues. In 1994, the NFI was turned into a public institution supervised by the Minister in charge of the forests.
Until 2004, the French NFI was covering one administrative division (called department) at a time, going through the country over a 12-year period (nearly 8 departments were inventoried each year).
Since November 2004, in response to changes in the data needs and to enhance the possibilities of estimating the impact of major events like storms and droughts, the NFI changed its methodology. It has undertaken inventory operations over the whole French territory using sample points on a grid defined for a 10-year period, from which one tenth is dealt with each year.
The data concerning inventory points are collected from aerial photographs or from NGI's BD-Ortho (the National Institute of geographic and forest information), as well as from field observations and measurements.
Dendrometric, ecological and floristic information is recorded in database and made available to the public : Raw data.
The NFI also creates forest maps by administrative county through interpreting aerial photographs into a dynamic mapping module : Forest data base.
The NFI publishes, free of charge, the main inventory results on its website (The Memento) and it has developed an interface with subscription for the consultation of all results on-line (Online tables).
Likewise, it publishes results brochures for the previous inventories by county, forest maps, reports and "l'IF" a eight-page synthetic document on a given specific topic : L'IF.
The institution can take additional data on request (dead wood, forest health...) and carry out studies based on its data in the field of forest and environment survey. It thus brings its technical experience to studies undertaken in the field of forest resources inventory in France as well as in foreign countries. It finally answers requests from any public or private organisation or person in France or in foreign countries for research, expertise, studies, surveys and investigations linked to natural forests and other spatial inventories.

Sri Lanka skipper Lasith Malinga will be hopeful of a positive result from the T20I series against India.
Jasprit Bumrah last played an international game for India against the West Indies away in the Test series. Post that, he suffered from a stress fracture in his back and remained out of action for four months.
Skipper Lasith Malinga was well aware of. Bumrah's comeback and felt he might be rusty coming back into the Indian team and that this was something that Sri Lanka can take advantage of.
"He (Bumrah) is the number one bowler in the world. He has got skills and accuracy. But he is coming after an injury and didn't play much cricket in the past few months. Most of the bowlers struggle to get their rhythm for the first few matches (after making a comeback). We want to get that advantage to us," Malinga was quoted as saying.

Malinga worked closely with Bumrah at Mumbai Indians and saw him evolve as a world-class bowler. The Sri Lankan skipper will be hopeful that his insights on Bumrah will help the team tackle his bowling.
"I'm really happy for Bumrah, he is doing well for his country. He's my teammate. He's their wicket-taking bowler. I can pass on the information about his attitude and bowling skills. But our batsmen will have to be smart enough to handle him," he asserted.

On the 3rd of September AMS Institute welcomed forty new students from over nine countries who enrolled for the first year of the MSc MADE program. As the students signed in they had an opportunity to meet one another for the first time and share their reasons for joining the program and what inspired them to become "metropolitan innovators".
An introduction session led by Arjen Zegwaard and Maurice Harteveld, Education Directors of MSc MADE, shed more light on the MADE course structure and included group exercises for the new students to appreciate not only the cultural and geographic diversity of the group, but to also the diversity in academic and professional backgrounds. This variety would really capture the potential of the MSc MADE program to have both transdisciplinary and transnational perspectives on metropolitan challenges and solutions in Amsterdam and beyond.
Managing Director of AMS Institute Kenneth Heijns, together with Scientific Director Professor Arjan van Timmeren, delivered their welcome speeches to the students and shared more about the vision and ambition of AMS Institute to make meaningful change. This was followed by the day's keynote speaker Ger Baron, CTO of the Municipality of Amsterdam, who then spoke passionately about the need for innovation and creativity when tackling metropolitan challenges.
The afternoon's activities moved the students from the current location of AMS Institute at the Royal Tropical Institute to its future home at Marineterrein Amsterdam. Along the way, both first and second year MSc MADE students were taken on an afternoon cruise through Amsterdam's famous canals with Plastic Whale – the "first professional plastic fishing company in the world". Throughout the afternoon, students and staff participated in a little friendly competition to catch as much plastic from central Amsterdam's canal network as possible. The haul of the day was staggering to all and brought home all of the day's messages about the impact humans have on our environment – especially in dense metropolitan environments.
And so as the group settled in for some drinks and bites at Marineterrein, on one of the last sunny afternoons of the year, one couldn't help but think: "I'm so glad I MADE it".
This article was written by first year MSc MADE Student Noelle The.

The genus Hyphaene is apparently composed of 8 spp. (Dransfield et al. 2008, Stauffer et al., 2014, Stauffer et al., 2018)
This palm group was first described by the celebrated German physician and botanist Joseph Gaertner (1732-1791), in his publication De Fructibus et Seminibus Plantarum (1788) (Fig.1). At that time the species Hyphaene coriacea was described as the first taxon within the genus.
Fig. 1. Original description of the genus Hyphaene in De Fructibus et Seminibus Plantarum (1788).
Important contributions in the systematics of the group were carried out by two German botanists in palm science. The first one is the Bavarian palm expert Carl Friedrich Philipp von Martius (1794-1868, Fig. 2), who contributed with the description of several taxa in Hyphaene (i.e. H. petersiana) and made some generic transfers, in particular from the genus Corypha. The botanist and also gardener Hermann Wendland (1825-1923, Fig. 2) described also many important taxa in the group (i.e. H. compressa, H. macrosperma).

The last taxonomic treatment of Hyphaene was published 90 years ago by Beccari (1924), who interestingly never saw Hyphaene in the wild (Fig. 3). Taxonomical notes for some species were proposed by Furtado (1967, 1970a, 1970b, 1970c), who most probably only had seen H. dichotoma in India (Fig. 3). Working almost exclusively with herbarium material, these authors proposed more than 2/3 of the taxonomic names associated to the genus, most of these to the ranks of species and subspecies.
Some notes on the West African species were offered by Chevalier and Dubois (1938), and a partial treatment for the genus including the East African species was published by Dransfield (1986). Recent publications by Stauffer et al. (2014) and Stauffer et al. (2018) briefly update our knowledge of the tropical African taxa. The number of currently recognized synonyms for some taxa is impressive (H. compressa: 33; H. coriacea: 24; H. petersiana: 21; H. thebaica: 17), which reveals the tortuous taxonomic and nomenclatural history of the genus and highlights the urgent need to re-evaluate the status for most of the names therein included. A complete revision of H. guineensis was undertaken by van Valkenburg and Dransfield (2004), clarifying the taxonomic identity of this palm and providing data on its ecology and distribution.

An unequivocal fossil of Hyphaene (H. kapelmanii A. D. Pan, B. F. Jacobs, J. Dransf. & W. J. Baker) was described by Pan et al. (2006, Fig. 4) from a tuffaceous ironstone deposit of Late Oligocene age (28-27 Mya) in north-western Ethiopia. A petrified palm petiole (Palmocaulon hyphaenoides) showing similarities with the currently recognized H. dichotoma was described by Shete & Kulkarni (1980) from the Indian Deccan Intertrappean of Maharashtra State. Endocarps supposed to be from the earliest Cretaceous (Aptian) of Egypt are compared to Hyphaene by Vaudois-Miéja and Lejal-Nicol (1987), although one endocarp looked notably Hyphaene-like. Nevertheless, an Aptian age for the formation in which these fossils (Hyphaeneocarpon aegyptiacum) were found is questionable and may be much younger (Schrank, 1992; Dransfield et al., 2008).

Q: Prove that the perpendicular bisectors of all 3 sides of a triangle intersect in one point I don't know where to start. Ceva's theorem?

A: You don't need Ceva's theorem. Just build two perpendicular bisector of the triangle $ABC$ (bisector of $AB$ and bisector of $AC$). They will meet at the point "$O$". By definition, $OA=OB$ (because $O$ is  in the bisector of $AB$) and also $OA=OC$ (because $O$ is  in the bisector of $AC$) and then $OB=OC$. It means that, by definition, $O$ is in the bisector of $BC$.

A: Alternative approach: the perpendicular bisectors are the altitudes of the median triangle, by Thales' theorem. The orthocenter of the median triangle exists and is unique by Trig Ceva's theorem.

A: A point P is on the right bisector of AB iff the distances |AP| and |BP| are equal. So if P is on the right bisector of AB and also on the right bisector of BC then |AP|=|BP| and |BP|=|CP|, so |AP|=|CP|, implying that P also lies on the right bisector of AC.

This study investigates teachers' pedagogical content knowledge, professional beliefs, work-related motivation, and self-regulation as aspects of their professional competence. Specifically, it examines how these aspects impact instruction and, in turn, student outcomes. In a nationally representative sample of 194 German secondary school mathematics classes, multiple measures were used to assess teacher competence, instructional quality, and students' achievement and motivation. The effect of teachers' professional competence on student outcomes was estimated in a 1-year repeated-measures design. Two-level structural equation models revealed positive effects of teachers' pedagogical content knowledge, enthusiasm for teaching, and self-regulatory skills on instructional quality, which in turn affected student outcomes. In contrast, teachers' general academic ability did not affect their instruction. The multidimensional model of teachers' professional competence introduced in this article seems suited to stimulate further research on the personal indicators of teacher quality.

Stamps of Jamaica
Jamaica, an island situated in the Caribbean Sea, about 145 kilometres south of Cuba, is spread over an area of 10,990 square kilometres. Its indigenous Arawakan-speaking Taíno inhabitants named the island Xaymaca, meaning the "Land of Wood and Water", or the "Land of Springs.
Once a Spanish possession known as Santiago, it became an English colony in 1655, known as "Jamaica". It achieved full independence in 1962. With 2.8 million people, it is the third most populous Anglophone country in the Americas, after the United States and Canada. It remains a Commonwealth realm with Queen Elizabeth II as head of state. The capital city of Kingston is also largest city of the country.
The postal history of Jamaica dates back to 1671 and became the first British colony to operate its own postal service. For overseas postal matters, the local planters typically preferred to entrust their letters directly to merchant ship captains.

Known for its stunning beaches, perfect climate, vibrant cities and chilled out lifestyle, Portugal is one of Europe's favourite holiday destinations. Whether you're partying in Porto or sunning yourself in the Algarve, let Luggage Mule ship your luggage to Portugal so you can kick back and relax.
Customs: Because Portugal is within the EU, travel between other EU countries is straightforward. However, meat products not originating from EU member states are not permitted, nor is the transport of pets including dogs, cats and birds.
Price: One way shipping from £29.99!
Flights: Flights to Portugal usually take about two hours. Nearly all international airlines provide a service to Portugal. Major gateways on the Portuguese mainland include Lisbon, Porto and Faro; if you're holidaying on the Portuguese island of Madeira, you'll be flying to Funchal.
Visas: Holders of British Citizen passports or any other EU state citizens do not need a visa to travel to Portugal. Other nationalities however may need a Schengen visa. To check the visa requirements of your country visit Schengen Visa Information website.
Portugal is one of the warmest countries in Europe, so be ready for the sun. Suncream, sunglasses and a hat are essentials, and some long-sleeved shirts are a sensible idea too. Don't forget your swimming gear if you're beach-bound, and be sure to check whether your accommodation provides beach towels, as you may need to bring your own. You might also want to bring some watersports gear to enjoy the Atlantic Ocean, especially if you're a surfer – the Peniche peninsular in particular is worth checking out. Luggage Mule's Portugal luggage shipping service comes with a generous 30kg allowance, so you can pack as much clothing and equipment as you need.
Some of Portugal's best biking is in the south, including Eco-Via, Algarve's first long distance cycling route. It stretches from Sagres in the west to Vila Real de Santo Antonio on the Spanish border. Luggage Mule can ship your bike to Portugal hassle-free and at reasonable rates, allowing you to peddle through its breath-taking landscapes on your own wheels. If mountain biking is your thing, the Sintra Natural Park has multiple trails including the beginner friendly Sintra hills and the more challenging Kamikaze and Viuvas.
Portugal has one of the world's most famous golf regions, in the shape of the Algarve. Great courses here include the course at the Monte Rei Golf Club, designed Jack Nicklaus, and both the North and South Courses at Quinta do Logo. Plus, the 16th hole at The Royal Course at Vale do Lobo is arguably the most scenic hole in Europe. In Maderia, don't miss out on Palheiro Golf or Clube de Golf do Santo da Serra. Wherever you go, Luggage Mule can ship your golf equipment to Portugal destination at reasonable rates, so you can travel hassle-free and play these world-class courses with your own clubs.
Portugal produces the best fortified wine in the world, and has 500 indigenous grape varieties over one million acres of vines. If you're touring the Port or Madeira regions, don't just take a single bottle home – Luggage Mule's Portugal luggage shipping service comes with a generous 30kg allowance, so you can treat yourself to several bottles and have it delivered right back to your door.
Other popular souvenirs to ship home from Portugal include boxes of the luxurious Claus Porto soap, the famous blue glazed tiles known as azulejo, and artisan olive oil from one of the country's six Denominação de Origem Protegida regions.


There is something stronger than a terror network and it's a prayer network. We need to be united and we need to pray. Prayer changes things.
Eagles have powerful vision. They can see very clearly from a great distance. They also have two sets of eyes- their natural eye which they use when they're in resting mode, and a second set of eyes which comes in on them when they start to take flight on these strong wind thermals. This second eye then enables them to fly in the strong wind thermals without damaging their original eye – a protective covering. As Christians we have two sets of eyes – our natural vision and spiritual vision. It is God Himself literally allowing you to see things from His point of view and perspective.
God knows what is going on in every house and every bedroom and He will reveal it to His prophets, if we are listening and open. Then, we must intercede.
Verse 17. Elisha's servant saw an army surrounding the city with horses and chariots and he was very afraid. In the natural, fear will try to take over.
Elisha prayed for his servant to have spiritual vision – to see into the supernatural realm.
And what Elisha's servant then saw was AMAZING – a mountain full of horses and chariots all around Elisha.
We need to ask God to open our eyes to see what is really going on, and how to pray.
Eagles normally fly alone, but in my vision they were circling together, all in the same direction and all in sync.we may find it hard to work with others but God is saying we need unity. Psalm 133:1, "oh how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell together in unity." God loves it when His children are united. One eagle can cover a vast territory – so how much more territory can lots of eagles cover. We need each other, especially in these last days.
There will be no denominations in Heaven – only believers.
Since I saw that vision of eagles circling together over a valley God showed me many other things.
Eagles soar without flapping their wings. In order to do this, they have to wait for the wind thermals to come up on them. It does not take any natural effort or strength to fly in the wind thermals. The eagles rely on the wind thermals to carry them.
This is like us as believers. The Holy Spirit is often depicted as the wind: Acts 2:2 (ESV), "And suddenly there came from Heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting " This was the Holy Spirit.
In these last days we cannot do anything in our own strength – we must rely on the Holy Spirit's strength to take us through.
If we do things in our own strength we will wear ourselves out. We need God's strength.
Just like the eagle has to learn how to fly on the wind thermals – we, as born again Christians, have to learn how to fly on the power of the Holy Spirit in our lives.
I preached this message on Saturday 27th May at the Aglow meeting in Manchester, 5 days after the bombing at the MEN Arena. I may have to post in instalments due to time constraints.
When I prayed and enquired about this God really spoke to me.
A vantage point, according to the Cambridge Dictionary, is a place, especially a high place, that provides a good, clear view of an area.
During the worship I looked out of the window and I saw two policemen and a bus went past with the sign, "Vantage" on it.
As Christians, God has given us a vantage point over this nation – that we can see clearly what is taking place, and indeed can see things before they happen and can intercede.

Broccoli Beef is a Take Out classic that you can easily recreate at home in your very own crockpot slow cooker. This way you KNOW what is in the dinner --- if you are steering clear of gluten or soy or any other allergen you can safely make it at home which is good for your body AND your wallet!
I don't know about you, but in our family we eat take - out about once a week or so, and usually on Friday Nights.
I was trying to recreate our favorite Broccoli Beef recipe using ingredients I already had on- hand and am happy to report that I put together a very tasty rendition of an Asian-inspired broccoli beef that is gluten-free, and doesn't leave you feeling like you just ingested a tanker full of oil.
Toss meat with sauce ingredients in the crockpot -- using a large spoon or your hands ( I used my hands. it wasn't gross! ) to full coat the meat in the liquid and spice mixture.
Cook on low for 6 to 7 hours, depending on the cut of meat. Thicker pieces will take longer to tenderize.
An hour or so before serving, add the broccoli to the pot. Do Not Stir, just pour it in.
Cover and cook for another 30 minutes to an hour on high.
It really was. Adam said that he hasn't ever had any broccoli beef that has tasted better.
One kid ate two helpings and the other ate one piece of broccoli and ate 3 bowls of rice.
It really does look good :-) With the crockpot none of the flavor can evaporate, I'm sure it's even better that way!!
this is one of my hubby's favorite dishes! good job!
Homemade chinese is the oNLY way to go! It probably doesn't go all gelatinous after a few hours either! This ones a tryer and probably a keeper too :)!
I'm a little scared how much we think alike! I was searching rice in the crockpot the day before you posted yours and today I came home with chinese take-out (yours looks better!).
Is your 1.5 Q pot big enough for cooking for one or just dips? I'm thinking of getting a smaller one and don't know what size to get. What do you think?
I did like it a lot, CS. I'm kicking myself for not adding in a bit of ginger. next time!
jennifer, I forgot about that gelatinous tendency. what IS that?
loloandpooh, that is funny that we are thinking alike.
I have not cooked a "real" meal in a 1.5 Q. I bet you could do little things, like 1 chicken breast, a few chopped up sausages, etc.
I have used ours primarily for dips, and I did use it this past week for the bananas foster.
Sometimes they are so ridiculously inexpensive, you just can't not buy one. This one was $4.95 at Walmart the day after Thanksgiving.
I wish I could answer your question better, but I truthfully just don't know.
Thank you so much for the link and mention in your blog post! What a creative theme you have. I just recently was given a crock pot, but I've yet to use it. It sounds like you can make pretty much everything under the sun in it though. I'll be bookmarking you for future dinner inspiration.
Mmmm! Even for someone who's not a brocolli fan, this looks yummy!
Do you think I could do the beef part and then get some of the steam-in-a-bag broccoli to add to it right before we eat? I don't have an hour between getting home and getting dinner on the table... I'm thinking it would work that way, though.
Damsel, absolutely that would work! it's a great idea.
That looks amazing. I would if I could replace the beef with chicken? DH isn't a big beef eatting person.
I made this last week. From the potent odor of Soy Sauce that filled my apartment, I just KNEW this was not going to be one of my more sucessful meals. Boy, was I wrong! This was fabulous. I am single, and live alone...so I froze all of the extra individual portions along with the rice. I am thrilled to report that after thawing and reheating it is just as good as the day I made it. I am always looking for meals that freeze well! Thanks again.
yum, and so much healthier in its proportions of brocolli to beef than carry out!
Something went wrong! It smelled great when I left the house, but when I got back it was scorched! I used a 6qt pot, set on low for 8 hrs. At the 3 hour point I put in 10-12 oz. FRESH broccoli. Was my crock too big, or the fresh broccoli too dry? Both? Or something different? I thought maybe frozed broccoli had more water in it, maybe I should have added water? On the plus side, I salvaged a couple of not-too-scorched pieces of beef (I used chuck roast) and it was tender and very tasty. I'll try again, but only after I get some ideas from you and your readers!
P.S. I LOVE your website and pass it on to everyone I meet. Thank you for doing this!
oh no. I'm so sorry, colesmom. I think the pot was too big. If you only used the 1pound of meat that I wrote, it probably just got overcooked. I'm so sorry. You can try putting an oven-safe dish into your crock, or you can put a layer of foil down near the food to create a lid-within-a-lid.
I don't think the fresh veggies would have been the culprit, but I do think adding a tiny bit of water (or leaving them damp after washing) is a good idea.
If I was to double this recipe.. what size crockpot would you cook it in?
I made this last night and it was awesome! Tasted just like Chinese take out!
I doubled the recipe (just fit in a 4qt), but not the seseme oil or the hot pepper flakes.
I added some corn starch to 1/4C water and added it in the last 30minutes so the sauce would thicken up.
I also cooked the broccoli seperately since the kids won't touch it with a ten foot pole LOL!
i've tried this a couple times, too. my family LOVES this. thank you SO much for posting it!
i also had the thought to double the sauce. it just wasn't enough! and i added some cornstarch to it, too, so it would thicken.
Mmmmm, this was absolutely delicious!
And then an hour later my husband started having an allergic reaction, whoops.
I will try it again someday without the sesame oil and see if he still breaks out.
Thank you! It was SOOOO good!
I'm trying this tomorrow! It looks so good, and I know my family will like it. We're big broccoli eaters, especially my 6 year old. I am going to double it, and I might try that corn starch trick someone posted.
Is there any reason it wouldn't be ok to set this up the night before and stick it in the fridge?
Is there anything I might could substitute for the white wine & Sesame oil?
I don't have any white wine on hand, and we're allergic to sesame oil. It looks really good though and I've been craving beef & broccoli!
I think I might add some slivered carrots too - our Chinese place puts them in chicken & broccoli so I don't see why it wouldn't work.
apple juice can work to replace the white wine.
As for sesame oil, there really isn't a taste substitution, but you can sub any other oil you'd like---olive, etc.
as for chicken, it should work the exact same way, Peace and Love!
I have done this with chicken and it comes out just fine! I do leave the chicken peices a little thicker then I would the beef or else it tends to get a little overwhelmed by the sauce.
This was delicious! I was able to use a 2.5 pound chuck roast I got on sale, and it came out tender and flavorful. The broccoli and flavor of the dish were just perfect. With the rice, it was heavenly! We will definitely make it again.
Hi Stephanie! I cooked this last night and the family gave it a thumbs up! I always ask how they liked it after dinner. THEN, I ask the important question "Would you eat it again?". At this point, they know brutal honesty is best. If they say yes, they know they will see it again. Cooking the gumbo tonight!! Can't wait! Have a great day!
Yum. I didn't measure anything very exactly and had to use raw broccoli (frozen was not anywhere to be found after going to two stores). I added carrots and shimeji mushrooms. It only took about four hours in my crockpot, probably because the beef was already sliced super-thin.
But, it is delicious. Will make again. But I live alone, so this is probably enough to last me a while!
Very tasty! My husband and I loved it. I made it in a 6 qt. slow cooker and didn't have the problem that Colesmom had. I used fresh broccoli too, but only added it an hour before serving, like the directions say, but I kept it on low. I wonder if the lid wasn't on all the way, or something? I don't know, but mine turned out perfectly. The only thing I will change the next time I make it is to double it!
This was very tasty! My kids (5 & 8) ate it enthusiastically. If I were really organized, I would have made it a day ahead to allow the flavors to intensify a bit, but no biggie. A few modifications: I added about 5 big mushrooms with the meat at the beginning. The meat was cooked sooner than I expected, so I just steamed the other veggies in the microwave and then added them to the crock pot. I added 2 carrots (peeled and sliced) to the broccoli since I didn't have quite as much meat as called for. This was a nice addition. At the table, the grown-ups added Tabasco/Sriracha (because I omitted the red pepper due to my kids), some Hoisin sauce (which is *not* GF), and some sesame oil. I served it over brown rice-- lovely. I'll definitely be making this again. I love Stir Fries without any of the stirring or frying! Thanks for the great idea!
Speaking of "stirring gingerly," stirring in a teaspoon or two of freshly-grated ginger would be worth considering the next time you fall back on this dish. Yum.
Hey, so I tried this recipe today. I put everything (except the broccoli) in the crock pot at 9 am and set it to low. When I got home at 4 pm everything was burnt to a crisp. What went wrong? I have a five quart crock pot by the way.
Ryah, your crockpot could have very well been too empty. A relatively empty crockpot will cook much faster than a relatively full one. Try a smaller crockpot next time, or add more fluid, or try making a foil tent over the meat.
I just made this for the first time. When I tasted a chunk of the beef alone, I thought it was going to be a disappointment for some reason. Boy, was I wrong.
I made the recipe exactly as listed, except for the fact that I didn't measure anything out. I probably added more wine and low sodium soy sauce than it asked for. I started it at 10 and stopped at four, and I think it cooked too long, but I didn't mind. I also used fresh broccoli, the bag of precut florets from Trader Joes, and put them in an hour before the end, maybe 45 minutes. They cooked to perfection. And when you put this over rice, it's absolutely delicious. I immediately wanted more.
I think I would add carrots the next time, maybe not.
I wonder if you could make this recipe with pork? I'm thinking yes, it would be delicious. Also, what about tofu?
I made this for dinner tonight, but instead of broccoli I used onions and green peppers......it was CRAZY DELICIOUS! Thank you for your blog, it saves my life almost daily (mom of 4 plus extras)!!!!
Sounds good, gonna make it tomorrow but just to make sure T and t =?
It's in the crock pot as I type! @Nena- I think BIG T is tablespoon? and little t is teaspoon... well, let's hope so. We are eating whatever develops tonight! I also put an extra T of white wine, why not right?
This recipe sounds good. I will try it. Thank you. However, I wish it didn't take the extra hour for the broccoli after the regular 6-8 cooking hours. There's so few hours left in the evening once I get home from work. I've been looking for recipes that are done by the time I walk in the door, and I can just throw stuff on a plate and flop.
Loved it! I added carrots and used fresh broccoli and it turned out great! No leftovers! Next time I might add some water chesnuts. We love Chinese but take out is so expensive and unhealthy...this is a fabulous alternative!
One of my son's tasted this and said "Hey this is delicious!" and the other one quoted Ron Weasley at him ... "always the tone of surprise."
I put it in at 9 am this morning.. with a lb of stew meat sliced small.. I didn't have white wine open so I use OJ.. Smells awesome.. I am gonna add broccoli once its done from steam bag and I think I am gonna cook half bag of cabbage shred. I am not doing rice I am gonna do noodles instead...Does it come out with thin sauce or glazed?
Hi Unknown, the sauce is more glazey because there's not all that much liquid in the pot.
I did some beef neck bones last night and now I will dig out my bag of broccoli. This will actually be fast since the meat is already cooked. Thanks for this idea.

Inaugural Female-Produced Film Festival Coming to The Lindsay Theater and Cultural Center
The Lindsay Theater and Cultural Center will host the inaugural film festival of Slow Drift Productions on Thursday, Jan. 5, at 7 p.m.
Ten shorts, curated by Zoe Xandra, founder of Pittsburgh-based Slow Drift Productions, share thriller, horror and sci fi works of women in Pennsylvania and New York.
"Horror and thriller films have been long affiliated with the region because of the work of the late George Romero, yet in the five decades since Romero first released his films, women have not been widely recognized for their work in these genres," Xandra says. "This festival seeks to change that and encourage women's artistic development."
Admission to the festival is free, but seating is limited, so reservations are requested at the Theater's website. Given the themes, the festival is recommended for mature audiences.
Xandra, a Mount Lebanon native now living in The Strip District, created Slow Drift as a collective before graduating from Point Park University's Cinema Arts program in 2020. As a Teaching Assistant in the Theater's youth career readiness program this past summer, she learned that the Theater makes its screening room available to local filmmakers for free and decided to launch the festival in Sewickley.
The Theater's Emerging Filmmakers Showcase supports local artists, builds their audiences and more closely engages the community in the creative process, says Theater CEO Carolina Pais-Barreto Thor. "Response from the community has been tremendous," Thor shares.
The two hours of festival films will be followed by award presentations in the Theater's Community Room.
Festival films, listed in order of screenings, are:
Camp Moose Tracks: A boy shipped off to summer camp slowly realizes that he's the last ingredient for the camp cult. Director, Leia Devin.
The Herbalist: A grief-filled woman uses herbalism to revive her lover. Director, Audrey Medrano.
A Leaf: An Artificial Intelligence companion searches for her existence. Director, Rui Wang.
Be a Fish: A young Black girl seeks guidance from a fish after her mother forces her to go underwater. Director, Aisha Ford.
A Mermaid in a Summer's Night: A 7-year-old girl who believes in mermaids drifts into her secret fantasy world as she watches her mother pining over wasted love. Director, Ke Liu.
A Little Glass of Rum<: After grieving over the murder of his wife and son, a prison guard dines with the killer at his last meal. Director, Carah Chafin.
Oink: A young girl follows in her mother's footsteps of a strict beauty routine until her mother has an unexpected surgery. Director, Milky Tran.
Good Taste: An Asian woman goes home with an attractive white couple to have a hot threesome, only to discover that they have very dark tastes. Director, Seonjae Kim.
Tansy: A woman reflects on her choices as she attempts an herbal abortion. Director, Zoe Xandra
What's in the Forest: Three best friends examine their changing relationship while trying hallucinogens—then realize that their forest cabin is surrounded by threatening creatures. Director, Xandra.
Note: The show includes thematic elements related to horror.
This event is free to the public but reservations are recommended as space is limited.

Reading Festival 2016
Richfield Avenue
As Richfield Avenue prepares itself for the battering of thousands of pairs of wellies; we take a look at what to expect from Reading Festival this weekend.
Izzie Dyer
It is no secret that in recent years Reading Festival has undergone some drastic changes. What once was simply Reading Rock; is now Reading Dance, Reading Folk, Reading Indie, Reading R&B, and so much more. Just glancing at the names of the headliners on the infamous yellow and red poster, you can already see an exceptionally vast array of musical taste. But, by covering the whole musical spectrum, one thing is for certain; no matter who you are this weekend, Reading Festival is going to feature an artist you love.
This year sees a whopping five acts headlining R&L; Fall Out Boy, Biffy Clyro, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Disclosure and Foals. Top of the bill on Friday, and shining above the other headliners with all the welcoming gleam of a reasonably-priced fast food restaurant after a tough day of festival-ing, are Foals. The Oxford band have been going from strength to strength lately, proving a versatility highly fitting for such an eclectic festival. From their indie pop hits such as 'My Number', to the gritty rock of 'What Went Down', and a blast from the past with the timelessly magical 'Spanish Sahara'; Foals are undoubtedly going to be one of the highlights of the weekend. Unfortunately, the five-piece have been subject to scepticism over their ability to handle a headline slot at this hugely respected major festival. However, these critics can't have been at the band's surprise appearance last year, as in just in five songs, Foals treated us to an utterly spellbinding performance. We can't even begin to imagine what they will achieve in an over and a half of playing.
Avid festival goers and enthusiastic musos will know that it would be ridiculous to judge a festival, with over 100+ acts, purely on the headliners. Cruising down the line-up for the main stage, and a feast for the ears meets your eyes. Fast forward to Saturday and Local Reading lads, and rising indie powerhouse Sundara Karma kick things off, followed by a bound-to-be impressive set from the infamous and ever-growing, spicy punk twosome, Slaves. Friday sees Scotland-hailing Chvrches performing a set of their addictive electronic tracks, and Sunday brings us The Vaccines; "if you wanna" have a good time, you know where you should be (sorry).
Scoot on over to the NME/BBC Radio 1 Stage, and boy have they brought us some crackin' acts. Following the release of their second album, Adore Life, earlier this year, Savages are set to give us a dose of their shimmering moody wonderfulness on the Sunday, which will surely revitalise us after a hard two days of festival-ing. To prove how diverse the stage is, Two Door Cinema Club and The Wombats have been brought back for a party and for a throwback to 2010 when their irresistibly anthemic indie sounds couldn't be ignored.
Lifting itself from the backstreets of East London to some of the largest stages in the world, Grime has risen from the flames with Reading Festival reflecting its popularity. Warning: be sure to keep your quality control on high alert, as some artists' success is questionable, however, as expected, Reading has booked the best of the best. Boy Better Know is certain to set the main stage alight Friday evening, after queen of the scene Lady Leshurr, blows up the 1Xtra Stage the very same day.
Those of the shredding guitar and bone-rattling bassline persuasion need look no further than the fearlessly awesome, Pulled Apart by Horses over at the Festival Republic stage, as well as their buddies and established riff lords Dinosaur Pile-Up at the Pit Stage, both on the Friday. Also worth a gander on the bill, are the frankly insane Aussies King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, and don't miss grunge-y newcomers Eat Fast over on the BBC Introducing stage.
As usual, the Festival Republic Stage is looking pretty promising in its range of well-established acts of the indie scene, to the newbies that are about to take-over: we can almost certainly predict this tent is where we'll be jostling our way to the barrier, attempting to protect our over-priced beverage. Already having released undoubtedly one of the best albums of 2016, Eagulls are sure to provide a thrilling, heart-wrenching set of their new and old post-punk masterpieces, whilst indie legends, Maximo Park, are due to headline the Friday night - let's all pray that there is no disastrous dilemma that they should clash with Foals. The fantastically fresh Beach Baby, gently empowering Tuff Love and spunky Inheaven could well be your best new finds of the weekend; be sure to catch them all.
If you're feeling low after discovering the gems of the Reading line-up yet the tickets have now completely sold out, don't fret; Leeds festival still has tickets available. With just a few days to go, us at Raw Meat are already donning our sunglasses and DMs (aka getting into full-festival mode), we can hardly wait!
Roadkill Festival 2019 | Day One
Roadkill Records are back with another incredible Summer weekender, and yours truly are DJing the Sunday hangover shift. Enjoy a run down of what we think of Saturday's line-up.
Community Festival 2019
Apart from a disappointing lack of female performers, Community Festival is looking indie-licious according to Raw Meat's resident photographer and grown up(ish), Chris Patmore.
Ritual Union 2019
The first announcement for the third installment of Oxford's Ritual Union is here. And it's a good'un.
