The reality and work of the Space Brothers
Interview with British author and editor of Share International magazine Benjamin Creme by Janez Ferjancic.
Janez Ferjancic: Before you were engaged in the Reappearance work you were connected with UFOs in the 1950s. You knew George Adamski personally. Could you explain how it all started, and what were your experiences with UFOs?
Benjamin Creme: I first read about UFOs in Flying Saucers have Landed, a book in which George Adamski wrote, in the last chapter, his experience of meeting a Venusian in the Arizona desert. The book itself was not by Adamski but by an Englishman, Desmond Leslie. It was the history of flying saucers over many ages, in different parts of the world. It was research – historical, speculative to some degree, and it finished with Adamski's actual experience.
Next I read Inside the Spaceships by Adamski, in which he was taken up in a spaceship, a saucer, onto what is called a mothership. This mothership was Venusian, and he had long conversations with the Venusian Master who, I think, was the Master of the ship, the chief person on board. In any case He was a Venusian Master.
These were very interesting conversations, and so for me the UFO phenomenon was more to do with the purpose, the meaning behind the flying saucers as they were called, than the phenomenon itself. The fact that people from other planets – some people think other solar systems but my information is that they come from other planets of our system – were concerned enough to visit this planet was interesting, but the nature of their concern was much more interesting. Their concern was that we should not destroy ourselves. That we should change our way of life, our way of organizing our world, not to destroy the world from an ecological point of view, and not to destroy each other in a war using nuclear weapons. It was a philosophical, spiritual discourse which he had with the Venusian Master, and that is what really impressed me about the book.
When I first heard about UFOs it was in 1947 or 1948, perhaps 1945, when a few reports appeared in our newspapers that a passenger plane had come close to what we call UFOs. The pilot would report it, the people in the plane would see it happening. They would see these round, disk-shaped objects, sometimes quite close to the aircraft, flying alongside, either one or many. It happened quite frequently but not every day – or rather you did not hear about it every day. These reports were spaced out over a period of time.
UFO over Voronezj, Russia
The first time I heard or read anything about them, before I read the Adamski book, I believed they were probably either American or Russian special planes that they were experimenting with, which were built on an entirely different system, not like normal airplanes; they were round, saucer shaped, and so we called them flying saucers. I thought at first that they were secret planes, experimental flying objects of Russia or America, or both, until I read the Adamski book, and then it became clear that there was something else going on, that they were perhaps from elsewhere.
Then, in the beginning of January 1959, I was contacted by one of the Masters of our Spiritual Hierarchy and my work began – I have talked and written about it elsewhere. The work was with the Space Brothers, the people using the UFOs, and my Master acted as the liaison between us, so to speak. To me, the two became identified; the fact of having read Adamski left me very open to the possibility, although I had not thought very much about it. But I was immediately introduced to the flying phenomena and I was part of a group, of which Adamski was one, which met only out of the body. To the outer world, we worked secretly, but to ourselves there was no secret – we recognized each other and we were part of a committee and did certain work which was assigned to us which was all to do with the UFO phenomenon.
In my experience, what we call UFOs, the flying saucers, come from the planets of our own system. Not from the Pleiades, or Sirius or somewhere outside our solar system, but from, mainly, Mars and Venus. A few other planets like Jupiter and Mercury are involved, but the vast majority of sightings of the UFOs come from Mars and Venus. Practically all of them are made on Mars, even the Venusian ones. They are Venusian in design, and they are quite distinct, different in design and technology, but they are actually constructed on Mars. And they are all constructed by thought.
The people in physical bodies on Mars and Venus, Mercury, Jupiter and so on are not at the same level or vibration of physicality that we experience. We know only three aspects of the physical: solid physical, liquid physical and gaseous physical. Above gas there are still four further levels of physical matter which so far have not been discovered on this planet. When they are discovered we will understand a great deal more about the nature and origin of disease, the purpose of life on this planet and of the reality of life on other planets.
The beings on Mars and Venus and the other planets are on the four higher levels of the physical. If you went to Mars or Venus you would see no one, but nevertheless they are in physical matter, and have bodies made of that subtle, finer physical matter to which we give the term ëetheric'. We ourselves have bodies of dense physical, liquid physical, gaseous physical and the four etheric physical planes – but we have not yet discovered the latter.
They have been demonstrated to exist by the great scientist and psychologist Wilhelm Reich, who was a colleague and one-time assistant of Freud. He died in an American prison in 1957. He was arrested for purporting to treat diseases with instruments which he claimed (correctly) attracted matter from the etheric planes, which he called orgone energy. He saw it as one vast plane of orgone energy, which he saw, rightly, as being everywhere in the universe, substanding the outer solid physical plane. Esotericists understand the etheric plane as four planes, becoming finer and finer as they go higher. The fourth etheric is just above gas, and is invisible unless you have etheric vision. The reality of this etheric energy, of what he called ìorgone energyî, was demonstrated palpably by Wilhelm Reich in various simple experiments. Nevertheless, he was arrested because he used instruments which he called the ìorgone accumulatorî, boxes which accumulated the etheric energy of some levels, usually the two lower levels, the fourth and the third etheric, to treat diseases including cancer and various other diseases. In America that was deemed illegal. The Food and Drug Administration arrested him, refused to allow him to prove his work, and he died in prison.
Unless one understands the reality of the etheric levels of energy as finer, subtler, levels of matter, one cannot begin to understand the UFO phenomenon, and one cannot understand the creation of crop circles – because they are all related. The crop circles are created by people, mainly from Mars and Venus, with a few exceptions from other planets. The vast majority of them are Martian, some Venusian, and they are all over the world. Crop circles are mainly in the south of England, but they have been seen in America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Peru – all over the world to a greater or lesser degree. Our planet, like all planets, has a magnetic field; its magnetic energy travels in lines and criss-crosses, and where these lines cross is formed, eventually, a vortex, a force centre. The space people, in making the crop circles, are replicating on the dense-physical plane these magnetic vortices in our planetary magnetic field. So there is the planetary magnetic field on its own level, and then a physical plane counterpart of that, which is being replicated by the space people who are manning the UFOs, and creating the crop circles.

JF: Why are they doing this?
BC: They do this in order to make the foundation on the physical plane for a new type of energy, a new type of technology using that energy, which eventually will be developed on this planet. It is a gift for this coming time, the New Age which we are entering, which we call the Age of Aquarius, a time in which tremendous new discoveries in the use of the energy of the planet and of the sun will be found and adapted. This will entirely change our way of life on this planet, and will lead to a control of universal energy such as we cannot begin to imagine.
In the next 2,500 years we will reach a stage where we can travel around our solar system at will, and out into the galaxy, exploring first our own solar system and then the vast galactic area, using energy which does not work within the time/space reality. So that distance is annihilated, time is annihilated. People think that if you are going to send something into the galaxy, it will take hundreds of years, the people would die before they could reach anywhere that was worth going to, and they would never return. It is not true. People come from Mars and Venus, which are not so far away, but they are still a long way away by our reckoning of distance, but they come here in minutes. It does not take time, once you understand that time does not exist and that the space which you thought you have to cover to get from one place to another does not exist either, and in minutes you can travel vast distances in space.
JF: Why did they choose crops for showing these patterns?
BC: Crop circles are used because they are seasonal. You only have crops for a short time in the summer and autumn, and then they are cut down, and you do not see the crop circles. Then they will grow up again next year, and the crop circles appear in the same places, because they are recreated each time in the exact same point, so that the energy is put in that field, or whatever. If put where all the energy is put, crop circles would be, literally, all over the world, including in the sea, on mountains and in rocks where nothing is growing. They are allowed to be seen, made real as a crop circle, as designs in corn, because it is seasonal; then it is cut down. This is a tangential way, without infringing our free will, of telling the people of Earth that the Space Brothers, as I call them, the people from other planets like Mars and Venus, are here, are part of a system, and they work in a systemic way, not just as separate planets. They are helping this planet to develop the technology of the future, and also to make known, without being too strong about it, that they are here, that they are aware of us, that they are helping us, that they have a very spiritual intention in coming here, and that they are 100 per cent friendly and harmless.
JF: It is very difficult to believe in the true nature of the crop circles, because there are so many hoaxes. Could you tell me what percentage of crop circles are genuine and how many are hoaxes? And why are people doing this?
BC: There are, of course, some hoaxes. These hoaxes are a tiny minority, perhaps 4 per cent, of the real and authentic crop circles which appear all over the world. The ratio of hoaxes to authentic ones varies from country to country. In this country (UK) – because we have had so many crop circles and for so long – they are probably a bigger percentage than elsewhere. If you have more crop circles, you have more hoaxes. And in other parts of the world perhaps there is not such a conscious involvement of people with the crop circles, so they do not take the trouble to make them. To make a crop circle is hard work, and they are usually very obvious and very clumsy and badly made. How anyone can mistake a hoax for a real crop circle – if they visit the actual crop circles – astonishes me, because they are so perfectly made when they are authentic. They are made in seconds by the people using the space vehicle. First of all they think of a design, decide what the design will be. It may be very simple, and if you follow the sequence of crop circles, you see that they become more and more elaborate, more complex, as the years go on. First, for variety, and secondly, to show a complexity and a degree of ingenuity and design which would be beyond the range of any hoaxer. The hoaxes are usually very elementary, rather badly made. Why are they made? I would say, for two reasons. One reason is that they are made by people who are paid to make hoaxes. Newspapers, for example, do from time to time put up money and employ, say, a group of university students who have worked out a way in which you can make a crop circle of a kind, a rather simplistic kind, but that would convince a journalist. Journalists know no more about crop circles than anybody else, than the average man in the street, and yet they come along with their cameras and look at it, and they say: ìYes, it is a crop circle, a real authentic crop circle, how wonderful!î, and then Jeff and Peter, or Willy and Robert, come up and say: ìNo, we made it, yesterday, we made it! The Daily Mail or The Sun paid us £2,000 to make this crop circle, we can prove it. This is a complete hoax, they are all hoaxes.î It is a way of diminishing the value and the reality of the crop circles.
Also, I know for certain, that the Ministry of Defence in this country pays money to the farmers to cut down the crop circles if they appear in their corn. Some of them, of course, go ahead and as soon as a circle appears they cut it down. Even if the corn is not ripe and they would not normally cut down that area of corn for perhaps a few weeks or a month. And so you get fields with a great hole in the middle of the corn, which is where there has been a crop circle deliberately destroyed by the farmer – paid by the Ministry of Defence.
JF: A crop circle appeared one week ago in Winchester which is quite elaborate – a three-dimensional picture of a Hollywood-style head of an alien. You said that it was man-made which astonishes me, because you can't really recognize it from the ground. How can an ordinary person actually distinguish what is genuine and what not?
BC: It is difficult for people who have not studied the subject, who are not to some degree well acquainted with the subject, to tell the difference between a true, authentic crop circle, made by a spaceship from Mars or Venus, and one that is just a fake. But if you have been looking at them over a period of time, and realized the differences, you can see instantly that this is a fake and this is authentic, they are very clear cut. I saw the Winchester photograph: there is a circle in which the spaces are divided into squares in both ways, it makes a kind of a cake, but decorated in squares, and near it a head, a kind of alien, imaginary alien's head. A head which is used every time a comic artist wants to design a spaceman, he gives him that kind of a head – rather like the head of E.T. That to me is a complete fake. It has nothing to do with the crop circle beside it, which is authentic.
This is done for one or other of those reasons, simply, that people like to play pranks, they like to destroy evidence, they like to be cleverer than those who are making the crop circles – until the public and the media cannot make head or tail of the whole thing. It destroys the validity of the whole crop circle phenomenon.
If you cannot tell the difference between a fake one and an authentic one, then the authentic ones lose validity. Not ultimately, but for the present time. Until it is proved that crop circles are, indeed, made by UFOs from Mars and Venus. The number of fakes is really very small, because they are difficult to do, they take time and energy, and people who are going to spend that time and energy to do it either have an overdeveloped sense of humour – they see it as a great joke – or else, they are being paid to do it. Both things happen.
JF: Just to get it clear about that Winchester crop circle: the disk is genuine?
BC: For the one I saw in the newspaper, the actual circle is a genuine one, and the head of an ëE.T.' is not authentic, but is a man-made one to nullify the validity of the other.
JF: The crop circle phenomenon started to appear in the late 1970s, but even before, in the 15th or 16th centuries, people knew about them. Why are they appearing in such numbers now, and why mainly, as it seems, in the UK?
BC: The number of crop circles is increasing all over the world. They have always been there, but only in small numbers. They are increasing because the plan of the Space Brothers – in relation to the Spiritual Hierarchy of our planet – is to speed up the creation of this magnetic field of energy on the physical plane on the Earth to do with the coming technology. Why now? Because the whole process is speeding up. Because our own Spiritual Hierarchy, the Masters and high initiates of the Spiritual Hierarchy of this planet, are returning to the everyday world.
They have not been out of the world, but They have been hidden away in the mountains and deserts of the world for thousands and thousands of years. They have been working behind the scenes but now They are externalizing Their work and are beginning to appear. Already, to my knowledge, there are 14 Masters living openly as men in the world, and the Master of all the Masters, the World Teacher, the Lord Maitreya, as He is named in the Spiritual Hierarchy, the One Christians call the Christ. The reason so many crop circles appear in southern England is because Maitreya lives in London, His ëpoint of focus' in the modern world. They are meant, subtly, to allude to that fact.

JF: Will this process keep increasing? Are we going to make closer contacts with UFOs?
BC: The Hierarchies of all the planets are in communication. This is something which people should understand. They themselves do not have that communication but Hierarchy does. The Hierarchy is made up of Masters of different levels and of disciples of even more varied levels. And from all these disciples, all these different grades of initiates, some of them may be part of groups who have been working with the Space Brothers. The Space Brothers have on this planet various people, like Adamski and others, who are used to bring the reality of the Space Brothers to the world, but also for other reasons, which I cannot go into; there are various aspects of this work which must be kept secret, for the time being at least. They have a great work in salvaging, in helping to restore the equilibrium of our planet, in particular to nullify to some extent – within the karmic law – the pollution of our planet. But for their work in purifying our atmosphere, mopping up with implosion devices the nuclear radiation which we pour into the atmosphere from our nuclear reactors and experimentation, this world would be infinitely more painful to live in.
JF: You mentioned that there are different individuals who work together with UFOs on different projects. There is an interesting project in America, conducted by Dr Steven Greer called the ëDisclosure Project'. Could you comment on this?
BC: Dr Greer is doing a useful thing. He is not working – so far as I know – with the Space Brothers but he is impatient with the fact that there is masses of evidence to prove that UFOs exist. Not proof of where they come from, or their purpose, but that they are real, do, in fact, exist. They have been seen by hundreds of thousands of people for years, and yet the governments of the world, most of whom have adequate data on their existence, refuse to make that known.
There is a huge cover-up, from the highest levels, in America, Russia, Britain, the European and various other countries who have been collecting data, evidence from their pilots, policemen, soldiers, from the public for years and years. This amounts to a huge body of evidence which is never published, is never made known, is covered up. People disappear even, in certain parts of the world, and nothing more is heard of them. There is sometimes coverage by media to discredit the evidence, and so on. In this way the governments control what the public knows, or rather does not know, about the Space Brothers and the UFO phenomenon. In this way they can keep it down.
Dr Greer is impatient with this, he has himself experience of UFOs and wanted to make it known. He has set up a means for other people – ex-army, ex-RAF or ex-United States Air force personnel – to come forward and give their evidence. When people of their standing and experience give evidence in this public way, they hope it will lead to a general, better understanding and maybe eventually an open statement by the governments of the world.
Of course, when governments make such a statement about their knowledge, they are also at the same time committing political suicide. They think that if we know the technology that the Space Brothers have, which is so much more advanced than our own, then the ideas, the wisdom of these people (if it is possible to have at our service), is much more to be valued than that of our own governments. These governments do nothing but make war on each other, in competition destroy the economies of each other, and make life miserable for hundreds of millions of people throughout the world. Inevitably, we will say we want the Space Brothers to come and teach us their ways, we do not need you, Mr so-and-so and Mr so-and-so. They can see that as a loss of their power, and so they keep the whole thing dark.
JF: Do you think Dr Greer will succeed with his initiative? Will governments come forward?
BC: The governments will only act when they are forced to do it. When Maitreya is known openly. Maitreya is the World Teacher, the head of our own planetary Hierarchy, Who are beginning to return to the everyday world. When They are known, when Maitreya is known, He will be asked questions like I am being asked now, and the truth of the relationship between this planet and the other planets will become known. Then the people from other planets will land and the reality of their existence will be known.
We have to understand that these ships and the people in these ships are in etheric matter, which is matter, but subtler than our physical matter. We, also, have the subtle matter in our etheric framework – of which the physical is only a precipitation, downwards – but we do not see it, and so for us it is non-existent. The Space Brothers can lower the vibrational rate of that etheric matter until it comes within our range of vision, so that we see the spaceships. But that is a temporary manifestation. When the Space Brothers live – and some do – on this Earth, they have to make, or take, Earth bodies to do so.
In the first place, the knowledge, the acceptance of the reality of the Space Brothers, will come through the acceptance of Maitreya and the Masters of our Spiritual Hierarchy. They will confirm that the Space Brothers are real, that the spaceships are real, that the other planets have their citizens who have nothing but goodwill, who are harmless, who want to help each other and do help each other, and who help this planet in so far as the law of karma allows. When we accept them and see what they are doing and how they are helping us, then the development of this planet will go forward tremendously fast.
JF: There are so called abductions and cattle mutilations. Should one take them seriously? What is this in relation to UFOs?
BC: The question of abductions and cattle mutilations is part of the general cover-up. They are a way of invalidating the harmlessness of the Space Brothers and making people afraid of the Space Brothers. The Space Brothers know nothing of harm and mean no harm for this planet. If they had, they could have destroyed this planet long ago. No one is ever abducted in a spaceship. These cattle mutilations are deliberately made as cover-ups – to put the blame on the Space Brothers and therefore to make people afraid of them. The whole thing is a plot against this enormously important and enormously serious interchange between the planets, to keep power for a limited number of people on this planet. It will be, as I say, only for a limited time until the Hierarchy of Masters is known and accepted, until Maitreya is known and accepted, and then the reality of the UFOs will come out.
Those who say they are abducted have experiences of an astral-emotional nature in which they imagine that they are in spaceships. Nobody is ever taken up in a spaceship in a physical body. It is impossible. These spaceships are not solid physical. To be taken up into a spaceship you have to be taken out of the dense physical body and you go in the etheric into the spaceship, which are in themselves etheric. It is still physical, but etheric physical.
Now, people say they are taken up and experimented on, things are put into their skin and so on. The Space Brothers know all about us, they do not need to do this. To me it is a nonsense, because they are so advanced in every way that they do not need to make any kind of experiment. They know the answers already. It is a complete nonsense that they should carry out genetic or sexual experimentation on people from this planet when they have a technology which is several thousand years ahead of anything that we could think of today. It is stupid, it is a blind, a deliberate way of attacking the concept of wise and superior, spiritually-oriented people. In this way, the people in control in, or even behind, the governments of the world, retain their control.
JF: Could you say a few words on the energy in crop circles? Is it good to stay in a crop circle for healing, for example?
BC: The crop circles are made by energy. The people in the spaceship form a design in their mind, simple or complex, and then, with a combination of technology and thought, that design is created in the crop.
They always use a universal system based on ë9', rather than ë10', which we will adopt in the future. When we understand the nature of the mathematical ratios in the true sense, we will begin to understand the crop circle better. Many people think crop circles are ideograms – which they are not. They are not giving us ideas, encapsulating ideas. They are designs, carried out to a certain formula, and the formula is universal. That is what they are reiterating over and over again in these designs.
In every case there is an energy which is embedded in the ground, in the water, etc, wherever the crop circle is made. You must understand that the crop circles are only external visible points where these vortices occur, but these occur all over the world, even where there are no crops. So there are thousands and thousands of these energy spots, vortices, created by the Space Brothers. When they make a circle in a crop you see it; when they make it in the ocean you do not see it, but it is there, too.
In this way they are forming a magnetic grid which will be a source of energy on the physical plane, like storage tanks of energy. So it will draw energy from our own magnetic plane, but using it on the physical plane in the technology which is coming. In using energy from the sun in relation to this magnetic energy we will do wonders in healing, in transport and many other ways; all our energy needs will be met.
If you go to a crop circle and you are sensitive to the energy, you will find, if you are in one made by a Venusian spaceship, that it will be quite distinct from that in a crop circle made by a Martian spaceship. If it is made by a Mercury or Jupiterian spaceship it will be different again.
These energies are different and they can have a healing quality. People spending a little time in a crop circle feel the energy, which is often of a healing nature and does heal. I would not recommend spending a lot of time in a crop circle, because one can be overcharged by the energy. Especially Venusian energy, which is very high in vibration. So I recommend care in spending time in crop circles. Spend maybe five or 10 minutes in it, but not sitting for a couple of hours talking with people, and so on. People do this, and then wonder why they are so overcharged.
JF: On 20 June 2000, there was the first crop circle in Slovenia. The media reported it, and your Master confirmed it was genuine. Could you say whether it was made by a Martian or Venusian spaceship?
BC: It was Martian.
JF: Were there any more in Slovenia, which we didn't recognize?
BC: One more in August in the same year.
JF: Tomorrow I have an interview with a Second World War veteran, who was in the Royal Air Force. He had many UFO sightings during the war. He was in the RAF. There was this phenomenon of so called ìballs of lightî, foo-fighters, accompanying the aircrafts which were going to bombard Germany. Pilots thought those lights were secret weapons of the Germans. But German pilots saw the very same lights when they came to England, and thought it was the secret weapon of the English. Could you explain what these lights were?
BC: All the space vehicles have listening devices, which may be two or two-and-a-half feet in diameter, and they can be directed from the spaceship itself, which might be – if it is the usual scout ship – 30 feet in diameter. These are sent down and connected energetically with the mothership, and they have instruments which can read the reports which are fed into very advanced computers. Our computers are ancient, backward things compared with the technology they have; these pick up data on everything: the quality of the air, the thoughts and ideas of individuals, if necessary. They may hover outside a room here and listen to this conversation, for example. Following an aircraft, they cannot be shot down – they have a forcefield round them. The spaceships, too, cannot be shot down, they also have a forcefield round them. They have often been fired at by fighter planes sent up to intercept them but there is no way the rounds can penetrate the forcefield of the ship, so it is a waste of time and energy. That is just Earth stupidity. We are a very stupid planet. We are a backward, dark planet whose people know nothing, believe nothing and understand nothing. But that is all going to change because the Hierarchy of Masters are coming back into the world. Some are already here, including the Master of all the Masters, Maitreya Himself, Who will be the first to become known. His mission begins in the very near future. This will throw a completely new light on the reality of life.
These foo-fighters do a job – I cannot tell you what the job is in every single case, it will vary from time to time. The spaceships have implosion devices which have usually a red light, and which are used to nullify or neutralize nuclear radiation on the Earth. They use different devices for different purposes, but very common are the small disks for carrying information. I have seen them. I have ducked as they come so close! They do not mean any harm, it is just a kind of ìhelloî.
JF: Many people see these balls of light, also where crop circles have appeared. There is a famous UK video from 1996 by John Wheatleigh. Your Master confirmed that the video was genuine, but later it was discovered that there were some strange things with this video; the light, when the video was shot, was strange as the sun was on the other side. Also the man who shot the video disappeared. Could you say a few words about the video?
BC: I do not know about that. I have not heard the evidence against the video, so I cannot really comment on this. All I can say is that the video is real. These lights which were seen were deliberately shown. The crop circle was made by the spaceship in seconds. Then these lights were put out to show that they were there, to draw attention to the fact that they had made the crop circle, to connect it with the UFO and so make it real, that it was not a mystery. Because if you just have a crop circle, or you are waiting for the appearance of a craft to make a crop circle and you do not see the craft, then there is a crop circle but you have no feedback on it. When you have lights, you do not know whether the lights or the UFO made the circle, but there is a connection between them, because no one has ever explained the lights which hovered over the ground.
I do not know whether the criticism is valid; it may be from a technical point of view, but it cannot be from the actual, factual point of view, because it happened, the crop circle appeared.
JF: In conclusion, do you think that without Maitreya we won't see UFOs becoming public knowledge?
BC: Well, it is not the way I would put that. I would not say that without Maitreya we would not see it, but that with Maitreya we will see it. The fact that Maitreya is here – I know with absolute certainty that Maitreya is here, living here in London where I am talking now – will guarantee that the fact of our Space Brothers becomes known. He will begin His open mission very soon indeed. The world will gradually come to understand Who He is and what His mission is, and when they accept Him, then, of course, they will accept what He says about the Space Brothers and the UFOs. Then there will be an open interchange between them and us.

We received inquiries about the Gauss attack, which garnered significant media attention as it drew comparisons to Flame. Gauss was designed to steal system-related information and gather banking, social networking, email and instant messaging (IM) credentials. Researchers also surmised that this is possibly the latest among the strings of state-sponsored attacks, which gathered awareness with the discovery of STUXNET in 2010.
As readers may recall, Flame was touted as a cyber espionage tool that executes several information stealing techniques including screen shots capture and audio recording. Similar to Flame, Gauss was discovered to have targeted several countries in the Middle East.
These shared denominators lead researchers to conclude that Gauss may be the handiwork of the same people behind Flame. Despite these similarities, Gauss was designed to focus on stealing information from Lebanese banks like Bank of Beirut, BlomBank, ByblosBank, FransaBank and Credit Libanais among others. It was also found to target other entities such as Citibank and online payment system PayPal. To some experts, this fixation on Lebanese banks was proof that this attack may be sponsored by a particular state.

Ginger Stratford, vice president of the Wesleyan Church's board of directors in Chester, said that the "Dress a Girl Around the World" is one of a number of charitable programs formed by Hope 4 Women International to empower women. They have branches located in every state and dozens of countries worldwide.
The campaign makes available an assortment of colorful sundresses for disadvantaged girls living in third-world countries — some of whom have been orphaned or abused.
Since its inception in 2006, the nondenominational independent Christian organization has sent hundreds of thousands of dresses to provide clothing for needy young girls, mostly to those living in countries in the African continent, as well as the South Pacific, Philippines, Uganda and Haiti.
Providing an ongoing opportunity for community members living in the Almanor basin area, Stratford has continued the organization's mission within sewing groups at the church location or from individuals sewing at home.
Caring individuals in the community donate long stored materials and sewing supplies, she said, and also comes from members of the Chester Piecemakers Quilt Guild and the Country Pines Quilt Shop in Susanville.
Fabric needs to be 100-percent cotton and at least a one-yard cut.
Stratford said she's also requesting cash donations from which fabric, lace, elastic, beads and rickrack can be included to embellish the dresses.
Additionally, new T-shirts to go under the dresses are purchased from monetary donations so that girls receiving them will have increased modesty while wearing the dresses.
Stratford said that typically more than a dozen women labor the better part of a year making the customized dresses.
She said the dresses consist of quality fabrics in a variety of colorful designs, ranging in size from size 2 to girls 14.
Stratford encourages anyone with basic sewing skills to considering volunteering their time fabricating dresses for the Dress a Girl program.
She added that anyone who doesn't sew but is still interested in helping out with the many other tasks that are needed, like ironing or cutting fabric, for example, are welcome to join in.
Over the course of five years, sewing groups hosted by Wesleyan Church have donated around 900 dresses in all, with approximately 200 more planned for shipment in the next couple of months to the Dress A Girl collection center in Sacramento.
Stratford said that ladies who would like to participate but can't always come to the Wesleyan Church location, can stop by and pick up prepared dress kits for people who would prefer to sew at home instead.
She encourages people who own a sewing machine to bring it to the Dress a Girl sew day on the third Saturday of every month from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Lunch is provided during a break in activities.
Continuing, Stratford said, "We're very grateful to the volunteers who are willing to share their time; coming from loving hearts who want to make this program succeed and make a positive difference in the world. It's always a blessing to the girls who receive these dresses."
Cash donations for fabric and sewing material may be mailed to P.O. Box 1305, Chester, CA 96020. Checks should be made out to Ginger Stratford.
For more information about the local sewing group call Stratford at 258-2409.
The Wesleyan Church is located at Frost Avenue and Gay Street in Chester.

Despite losing starting QB, Tennessee State poised to remain undefeated
(STATS) - Tennessee State is off to the program's best start in four years, but if that success is to continue it must come with a new - yet familiar - face under center.
With sophomore starter O'Shay Ackerman-Carter done for the season because of a knee injury, senior Ronald Butler takes over the reigns of the offense Saturday as the Tigers (3-0) open Ohio Valley Conference play against visiting UT Martin.
Ackerman-Carter threw for 598 yards with five touchdowns and two interceptions before he was injured in the first half of a 31-24 victory at Bethune-Cookman on Sept. 17. The Tigers conveniently had their bye last week so were able to put plenty of time into preparing for life with a new signal-caller.
"That's unfortunate," coach Rod Reed said. "But we have a very capable guy in Ronald Butler running the show."
The Tigers last opened with four straight wins while going 7-0 in 2012, but they only won once the rest of the way and failed to make the playoffs. Reed, though, seems to believe the good times will keep coming with Butler leading the way.
The Tallahassee, Fla., native has played in 31 games at Tennessee State with 13 starts, including eight in 2013 when he was named all-OVC Second Team as a freshman. Butler, who went 7 of 13 for 72 yards with two touchdowns and an interception after Ackerman-Carter was injured, has thrown for more than 2,700 yards with 24 TDs and 15 INTs for his career.
"Our playbook won't change," Reed said. "Ronald has been running this offense for three years. ... We're just going to keep plugging along."
Butler also knows he'll have help from a stellar offensive line in front of him. That unit has allowed just one sack and has paved the way for Tigers backs to average 4.8 yards per carry.
"Hopefully we can continue that trend," Reed said. "We've got to be consistent up front. Hopefully we can keep Butler's uniform clean and run the ball."
The former might be tough against UTM (2-2, 1-0), which has recorded five sacks in the last two games. It's also picked off six passes in 2016. Butler is 13 of 25 for 189 yards and a TD in three games against the Skyhawks, though most of that action came as a freshman.
"This is the biggest challenge we've faced to date," Reed said.
UT Martin will try for a third straight victory in the series and overall. The Skyhawks are tied for seventh in the FCS in scoring (42.8 points per game) and junior quarterback Troy Cook ranks among the national leaders with nine TD passes.
"Rod and I have been competing against each other for a lot of years," UT Martin coach Jason Simpson said. "There's been some good battles."
This contest is part of the annual Sgt. York Trophy competition, an in-season series contested among the league's four Tennessee-based schools. This and the Commander in Chief's - featuring the nation's services academies - are the only traveling trophies in collegiate sports to involve more than two teams. UT Martin won last season's title with victories over Tennessee State, Tennessee Tech and Austin Peay.

Marlee Matlin Biography
Marlee Matlin received worldwide critical acclaim for her film debut in Paramount Pictures' Children of a Lesser God, for which she received the Academy Award for Best Actress. At 21, she became the youngest recipient of the Best Actress Oscar and only one of four actresses to receive the honor for her film debut. In addition to the Oscar, Matlin received the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Drama. In 2021, Matlin was nominated once again as Executive Producer for the Live Action Short, Feeling Through. And in 2022, her Apple TV+ film CODA swept every category it was nominated in at the 2022 Academy Awards, including Best Picture.
Matlin has also starred in numerous television projects, including "Seinfeld," "The West Wing," "Law and Order SVU," "The L Word," "Switched At Birth," "The Magicians" and "Quantico," garnering four Emmy nominations along the way. In 2022, Matlin made her first foray into directing, being the first network television director who is Deaf for the Fox TV anthology drama, "Accused."
In addition to her film, TV and stage work, Matlin broke barriers when she starred on ABC's "Dancing with the Stars" and in 2012, Matlin released her first app, appropriately titled Marlee Signs, teaching American Sign Language to millions of smart phone users. She has also penned three novels for children, as well as her New York Times best-selling autobiography, "I'll Scream Later."
In 1994, Matlin was appointed by President Clinton to the Corporation for National Service and in 2010, Matlin joined President Barack Obama at the White House in ceremonies celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act. In June 2022, Matlin was elected to the Board of Governors of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, representing the Actors Branch.
Despite the odds, Matlin's journey is an inspiration to everyone, regardless of the barriers they face and she has refused to let the naysayers get in the way of her dreams of success. As she so aptly stated, "The only thing I can't do is hear. The rest is there for the taking."

Literally though, a horse— apparently she thinks she bigger than a freaking horse). Anyway, Boone & Pixy are my two ride or dies— they come everywhere with me.
As you guys know, I've already done an eating, walking, bathing breakdown but since they're so important to me, I figured I'd share a little personality post too.
As you can tell he felt extremely special…& manly.
Isn't he the manliest man ever?
Yes, a fedora ( the Union Jack Trilby Dog Hat, specifically ).
Am I psycho or is this the cutest thing in the world? HA.
They're also obsessed with the Kawaii Donut Plush Squeaky Dog Toy & the Cool Emoji Canvas Squeaky Dog Toy. Boone squeaks it to the point of ad nauseam. He literally created a song by squeaking the toy every second, of every day.
Pixy also chimes in on the bass, squeaking her pink donut like a bougie badass.
Also, lately I've been really incorporating some healthy foods in their diet like raw coconut oil ( GREAT to eat & to rub on their coat ), spaghetti squash ( tons of vitamins & minerals ), watermelon ( sans seeds ), raw carrots, strawberries, chia seeds, & green beans! I also have been using a tough brush on their coats so they can get the same effect as dry brushing. It's SO great for dog's lymph system to be dry brushed. We also literally massage them ( are we crazy? ).
Any other tips you guys have?
Anyway, I thought that these little outfits would be an AWESOME holiday gift/stocking stuffer for your dog-lover friend. Seriously I think anyone with a fur baby would just be entirely in love with the fedora concept, no?

I just love those little outfits! I want to get some for my rescue cats Leo and Missy!!! Your dogs are soo funny and cute!!!
Your dogs are so cute and I am loving your hair tied back!!
Oh my gosh, your fur babies look so cute!! We like to use coconut oil on my dog's nose when it gets dry in the cooler weather. Now, I just wish he'd let us dress him up like that!
This is ridiculous! They are soo adorable. I have no idea how you made that fedora stay on his head, but i am so impressed. I got my cat a santa collar that is velvet and i think he loves it.
Idk how else to contact you but your instagram got hacked!
Hi Anna, UGH I know it was literally the worst. The Instagram team is amazing though I regained access to my account within 24 hours THANK GOD!!!
This is such a cute post! I love seeing your pups.
And I'm a total dog psycho too! I adopted my girl 5 years ago when she was 2 and she has completely changed my life! Someone ditched her when she was pregnant at a shelter, if you can believe it. When I got her she was so scared and skinny, but still so, so sweet. Now that she's learned to trust, she is her bubbly, lovely self. She actually inspired me to volunteer at a local shelter, and that is just so rewarding. It's so awesome to spend time with all the dogs before they find their humans.
Thanks for writing back! Until last month I was living in the Boston area, volunteering at Schultz's Guest House. But my husband and I just moved to the San Francisco Bay Area, so I'm going to start volunteering at the Tri-Valley Animal Rescue as soon as I complete the orientation process. It's definitely something I miss about my time in Boston and want to bring back into my life.
Oh so cute!I have a little yorkie and he is really all my life.I love everything about him and especially his personality.It is crazy to see the way we communicate because we really do!Nice gifts!!!
Hahahha seriously SO CUTE! Dying over here lol!
Could you do a post on the recipes you use for all the healthy foods you incorporate into their diets?! Would absolutely LOVE it!
When you wear a fedora of your little pretty dog that's looking like a doll.
My brother proposed I'll like this web-site. He / she was once fully correct. That put up in fact built this working day.. haraj People can not think basically just how a great deal time frame I'd expended just for this facts! Many thanks!
Double sided clothes brush: the brush side for the longer coarser hair, then the lint remover side for the finer hair.
Also gettting the loose hair off the dog with a zoom groom brush first helps reduce the amount of fur I get on me!
Even when contained in the automotive, your pet can inform it is to that woman or man physician you're going. Reaching the vet clinic's entrance door generally is a equally exhausting episode of prodding and sweet-talking.
Mainly safety vetting is one other identify for safety clearance process and it's the technique of checking carried out within the backstage earlier than permitting entry to any form of safety supply which tries to interrupt or asks for permission.

Small Business Crowdfunding
A new trend for raising capital is a talking point for small business owners. Small business owners express tremendous interest in using crowdfunding platforms to raise capital by selling shares in the business or by selling debt securities like a note or bond.
What is driving all of this interest? The 2013 JOBS Act and the regulations that the Securities and Exchange Commission has issued about that act.
Selling securities is heavily-regulated. Current laws are designed to protect investors by requiring companies that want to sell securities to disclose all of the information a prudent investor would need to know in order to make an informed decision to buy. The most important law, the big Kahuna, is the Securities Act of 1933 (The 33 Act). The 33 Act requires a company issuing the securities to put together a detailed offering document containing extensive, specific information about the company, including financial information (which must be audited by independent accountants); this document must be filed or "registered" with the SEC and reviewed by its staff before any securities can be sold. The staff of the SEC insists that all of the information in the document is clear and complete. Usually, the securities are sold with the assistance of an underwriter. This process is very expensive and is out of reach for most small businesses.
Most small business owners look at the other options available. There are exemptions from the registration requirements of the 33 Act for sales of securities to folks who don't need the protection created by preparing a big, reviewed and audited disclosure document. That is where the JOBS Act has created some buzz.
One of the most interesting exemptions available is set out in Rule 506(c) of the 33 Act. This rule (part of which was created by the JOBS Act) permits companies to sell securities using the internet to wealthy, sophisticated investors (accredited investors). In this case, there is no need to register the offering under the 33 Act and that makes it much less costly to raise the money. Investment crowdfunding! What a concept! Hence the tremendous interest.
BUT!!
(You knew it was coming, didn't you?)
The exemptions that permit investment crowdfunding only exempt the company issuing the securities from the registration requirements of the 33 Act. They do NOT exempt the company from another, really big part of the 33 Act: what we securities lawyers call "the anti-fraud" provisions.
"Now, hold on a minute," you say. "I'm not going to commit fraud while my company sells securities!" And, I know what you mean. Of course, you don't intend to defraud and, lacking the requisite intent, cannot commit fraud.
But hold on: "Fraud" under the 33 Act does not involve intent to defraud at all. Nope! The 33 Act's antifraud provisions require that the company selling the securities tells a prospective buyer everything the buyer needs to know in order to make an intelligent decision to invest. So, the company cannot say anything that is not true about the company or not say (omit to say) anything that is important to a prospective investor.

This Note attempts to assess the key factors underlying the effectiveness of the R&D system in the People's Republic of China, the major policy changes and institutional reforms that have been introduced to adapt R&D objectives and activities to the rapidly changing economic system, and the prospects of improving the effectiveness of the R&D system. It analyzes problems of interface between the research institute and the production enterprise, and examines specific problems of innovation in the metallurgical industry. The findings suggest that despite impressive achievements, the quantity, quality, and variety of products of the metallurgical industry cannot meet the demand of the growing economy. The metallurgical industry appears to face the same major problems as the R&D system as a whole. The Chinese leadership has instituted various reforms, including transfer of military technology to civilian use, and sending scientists abroad for training. The reforms should have positive effects on the R&D system.

Saturday saw our first Action Against Hunger meal of the year. Given the recent outbreak of Spring, we decided to make it a picnic. Huge thanks to Alex, Anoula and our very own Chrisoula for making it all happen. Also good to see Simon (another one), Mark, Matt, James and Dave there. This event was supported by Ford Focus as part of the Focus Global Test Drive, with Ford having already donated $10,000 to the charity. Well done Ford!
So, as you're all foodies we're sure you want to know what was on the menu.
Chorizo and Tomato Risotto – a recipe that Silvena Rowe put together for us last year.
Fig and goat's cheese salad – with quartered figs, unearthed® Greek Goat's Milk Balls with Mint, rocket, spinach, watercress, unearthed® prosciutto crudo and a dressing with olive oil, honey and a few mystery ingredients.
Chorizo and Tomato Salad – cooking chorizo, tomatoes, unearthed® Feta, parsley, spring onions, sherry vinegar and garlic.
Plus a whole array of unearthed® meats, olives and the ever-popular ricotta stuffed cherry peppers, all washed down with Pimms (Anoula's addition of Ginger Beer worked a treat, I'll leave you to identify all the fruit…) and sherry.
The venue was the lovely Primrose Hill in London. Probably my favourite spot for a view of the city without feeling too immersed in it. Not the warmest it has to be said, but the Pimms meant the non-drivers amongst us weren't feeling it too much!
We'll be holding plenty more Action Against Hunger and unearthed® events. If you're interested in getting involved, stay in touch on this site and at www.actionagainsthunger.org.uk. Good food, good company and some money raised to combat malnutrition around the world. What better way to spend an afternoon.

Q: find repeated measure correlation coefficient using linear mixed model I'm using Orange dataset to illustrate my question. In this dataset, for each tree, the circumference and age were measured several times. Say we need to find the correlation coefficient between tree circumference and age. Since these two variable include repeated measures. The variables are not iid, so we should not use simple linear regression. I'm using linear mix model to model the data (lme4)
fit<-lmer(circumference~age+(1|Tree), data=Orange)
summary(fit)

below is the output:
Linear mixed model fit by REML ['lmerMod']
Formula: circumference ~ age + (1 | Tree)
   Data: Orange

REML criterion at convergence: 303.2

Scaled residuals:
    Min      1Q  Median      3Q     Max
-1.8781 -0.6743  0.2320  0.5053  1.5416

Random effects:
 Groups   Name        Variance Std.Dev.
 Tree     (Intercept) 389.6    19.74
 Residual             232.9    15.26
Number of obs: 35, groups:  Tree, 5

Fixed effects:
             Estimate Std. Error t value
(Intercept) 17.399650  10.423696   1.669
age          0.106770   0.005321  20.066

Correlation of Fixed Effects:
    (Intr)
age -0.471

In the output, we can see the correlation info (-0.471 in the last line). How to interpret this number?  It seems like the correlation between age and (Intr) ?   What I need to find is the correlation coefficient between age and circumference, not the fix effect slope. Does anyone know how I can extract the correlation coef?  Thanks a lot in advance.

A: I use nlme package and I get the correlations like here:
library(nlme)
fit <- lme(circumference~age, random = ~1|Tree, data=Orange)
summary(fit)$cor

I could not extract correlation from lme4 summary output.

I wanted to let you know about a new case report in MMWR while simultaneously raising the MMWR Altmetric Score. Seriously, how can such a case only have one blog mention in 24 hours—Jon Otter must be just getting back from holiday.
The Centers for disease Control and Prevention has reported a case of New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase (NDM-1)–containing carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) and Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from a wound specimen of a woman in her 70s who had returned to the U.S. after a log visit to India. She also reported prior visits with multiple hospitalizations in India. The isolate was resistant to the 26 antibiotics tested, including all aminoglycosides and polymyxins (despite being MCR-1 negative), while it was intermediately resistant to tigecycline. The fosfomycin MIC was 16 μg/mL. Unfortunately, the patient developed sepsis and died. Fortunately, the patient had been isolated and screening revealed no evidence of transmission.
Facilities should obtain travel histories and consider screening for CRE if patients are from high-risk areas.
*Note: nice to see that somebody still loves contact precautions.


Of course the most challenging part of the CC exam is blind tasting, so SERIOUS BEER 2 places extra-strong emphasis on establishing tasting baselines for all the important beer categories, incorporating the standard approach to Beer Tasting outlined in the BJCP guidelines.
To understand beer in the glass you need to know how beer is made, so SERIOUS BEER 2 closely covers beer ingredients and beer processes.
To pass the CC exam candidates need to understand how beer works with food. SERIOUS BEER 2 includes demanding hands-on exercises in pairing and menu design.
Good beer tastes good, but what about when the beer is bad? SERIOUS BEER 2 incorporates fault essences from the SIEBEL Institute. Candidates will taste at two flavor threshholds -- intense and exam-strength- - learning to identify instantly the most common faults in Beer.
The L2 exam is a mock exam with the same structure as Certified Cicerone® exam.

This Chennaiite wants to create a Guinness Record by beatboxing for more than 28 hours at a stretch!
Rajkamal AKA RaKa Vee is a popular beatboxer who captivates audiences with nothing but just a mike and a speaker
Aathira Ayyappan
Jammin' hard (pic: RaKa Vee)
They say when the passion for something takes over you, there's nothing that can stop you from being one with it. Rajkamal (full name or at least initial?) AKA RaKa Vee, a Chennai-based beatboxer, is an embodiment of this fact. "My day begins early and I head straight to the gym. I come back home around 8 am and from then, I am completely immersed in my beatboxing routine, where the rhythm of my body and my emotions entwine to give rise to sounds and beats that can even put musical instruments to shame," he smiles.
One would assume that his practice sessions would go on for an hour or maximum two, but no. This beatboxer goes at it for more than 9 hours, with just a few five-minute breaks in between. Why is he doing this, you may think to yourself; is he trying to create a record or something? Well, he actually is! "I want to break the Guinness World Record for the longest beatboxing session by an individual which is 26 hours, currently held by an Italian beatboxer. I aim to do it for 28 hours. I am practising day and night to make this a reality," says the 27-year-old who has performed in more than 100 shows till date, adding, "People are drawn to my live shows because I am what they call a 'looper' in beatboxing circles. I use a hardware device called a Loop Station with which one can plug in a musical instrument, record a loop on the spot and then, use it as an accompaniment to further live playing and/or singing. One can also overdub new performances while the loop plays, a feature also known as 'sound-on-sound' recording."
RaKa Vee's tryst with beatboxing began a few years ago, when he was pursuing Civil Engineering in 2012. He was a star hip-hop dancer in college who had won many competitions, both inter-collegiate and inter-state. At one such event, he met a beatboxer for the first time and was taken by his art in an instant. "I guess that's what you call love at first sight. The style, the charm, the effect beatboxing had on the audience – I was impressed by everything. That's when I knew that I had to learn it too," he says. After completing Engineering, he pursued an MBA in Project Management and had become busy with academics, but he nurtured his love for both dancing and beatboxing on the side, performing at many private shows and events.
In 2015, he joined a reputed company as a Project Manager to make his parents happy, but he knew he wouldn't stick to the job for long right from the beginning. "In fact, I had set a deadline in mind – that I would resign 3 years from the day that I joined (in order to save money) and that's exactly what I did," he says, recalling how he would get off work soon to drive to Elliot's beach with nothing but a loudspeaker attached to his car and perform for the crowds. "It gave me the much needed 'after-work' satisfaction," he quips.
Despite having a full-time job at that time, he also established BBX India, the first forum of its kind dedicated to Indian beatboxers, in 2016 and started building a beatboxing community – where he was involved in organising competitions and bringing beatboxers from the length and breadth of the country together. "After I saved enough money, I travelled to Poland in 2018 (after he quit his job in April that year) for an international beatboxing event where I met international artistes and started networking with them," says RaKa Vee.
Since last year, he has been conducting beatboxing classes and also focusing on taking BBX India to greater heights, and making it accessible to each and every budding beatboxer out there. He organised the first Indian Beatboxing Championship in Bengaluru with two international judges and over 100 participants from different parts of India. "There was even a 16-year-old who had come with his parents all the way from Jammu and Kashmir! And a lot of participants from the Northeast too. It was a great event and this year too, we will be organising the second edition of the Indian Beatboxing Championship in four regions — Mumbai, Nagaland, Bengaluru and Delhi — with the finals in Mumbai, probably in November or December. We are looking for sponsors to make it a grand success," he signs off.
