Regardless of whether or not your car is high performance, you have a desire to cancel your insurance. The question of doing it right is a question that many who cancel their insurance must ask. If you don't do it right, or if you just jump into it haphazardly, then you could hurt yourself financially in the long run.
It doesn't matter what the reason is. You could be moving to another state, getting rid of your vehicle, or perhaps you just aren't happy with the coverage that your provider is giving you. There are a number of things that you are going to need to understand so that your decision doesn't end up coming back and haunting you.
First of all, it is best to issue a formal notice. Your policy may say that you don't have to, but giving written notice of your intent to cancel is always recommended and advantageous. You need to tell them that you are canceling and what date you would like to cancel. Most policies permit a person to cancel whenever they want so long as they've given notice. One thing to remember though is that your policy might still be in effect at the end of the term.
If you assume, and many people do, that the policy will end when the term does, there are two things that are bound to happen, which are not in your favor. First of all, your insurer keeps billing you. The second thing is that when you fail to pay, your insurance will end. The only difference between it ending on a good note or a bad note, is how it affects your credit rating. If you fail to give notice, you will certainly have a negative mark on your your credit history.
Don't make any assumptions about your insurance company, despite what they might tell you. Yes, your high-performance car insurance mighty very well be canceled as soon as you don't pay, but what will it do to your credit. Always make a formal notice!
A sudden cancellation will also raise what is known as a red flag when you are trying to get on with another insurance company. They'll assume you are high risk, and they will charge a much higher premium. Cancellation notices are serious business.
If you wish to retain the same vehicle, but want to go to a different high-performance car insurance provider, then make sure that you have insurance the day your other insurance is canceled. You don't want to end up in a car accident without insurance. This is never a good situation.
Cancelling your high-performance car insurance may be inescapable. At some point, you'd find one or more reasons to want to cancel an existing policy. Just remember that to avoid any negative impact on you and your financial future, be considerate. Allow your insurance company enough period of notice and go through the process of making the termination official. It's the only way you can avoid trouble from a cancellation, now or in the future.

This idea is known as "Providence." God intervenes in human history and alters what would otherwise be the "natural" course of events. He does this in response to prayer, to judge evil, or to bless righteousness. which claims that God wound up the world like a clock, started it ticking, and walked away, never again to interfere with "natural law." The ancient Hebrew Forefathers believed in the Providence. They believed Yah/God governs.
As human beings created in the Image of God, we are to "exercise dominion over the earth" following the blueprints of God's Law.
A well-governed society, in the Christian conception, depends upon "self-government." It depends upon the people obeying the Lawgiver spoken of by Isaiah. It depends upon people conforming their lives to "the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God," which Blackstone correctly said were to be found "only in Holy Scripture." Teaching the Bible in public schools was therefore "necessary for good government and the happiness of mankind."
God governs when we obey YAHWEH commandments.
The vast majority of Americans, victims of educational malpractice, believe that under a "Theocracy," a group of men — priests, ayatollahs, mullahs, monks — govern the rest of us — in the name of God. If your society believes in a god that commands a priesthood to rule over others, then this is the kind of "theocracy" you'll have.
The Black African American Negroid – Yahudym Founders in America intends our government to be a Hebrew Israelite Theocracy.
Any nation that claims to be "one nation under YAHWEH" is claiming that God is over the nation, and therefore that nation is a "Theocracy." Any government that will not admit that it is "under God" is a government that claims it is God.

International position
Under international law, a serving head of state has sovereign immunity from the jurisdiction of the courts of other countries, though not from that of international tribunals. This immunity is sometimes loosely referred to as "diplomatic immunity", which is, strictly speaking, the immunity enjoyed by the diplomatic representatives of a head of state.
International law will treat the QODESH KEHUNNA, essentially the central government of the Hebrew Ecclesia, as the juridical equal of a state.
The Political Affairs of a diaspora nation still exiled in foreign subjugated lands power has historically rested within that chosen select group of leadership among themselves piercing the veil of life and death to free their people from an oppressive governmental society at an appointed time of great terrorism against them.

Private International Law is the legal framework composed of conventions, protocols, model laws, legal guides, uniform documents, case law, practice and custom, as well as other documents and instruments, which regulate relationships between individuals in an international context. The United Nations, OAS plays a central role in the harmonization, codification and development of Private International Law in the Worldwide.
One of the principal components of this work of International law apprehension led by Yahweh Elohim prophecy fulfillment context, These instruments cover various topics and are designed to create an effective legal framework for judicial cooperation between Sovereign Nation-States and to add legal certainty to cross border transactions in civil, family, commercial and procedural dealings of individuals Worldwide.
Yahweh Tsidkenu President of International African American Millennium Human Rights Center has undertaken projects on specific topics in the field of Private International Law, including Secured Transactions and Arbitration. This work is in furtherance of the mandate given by the the United Nations Charter, OAS General Assembly as follows: "International Law" (AG/RES. 2886 (XLVI-O/16) for our Self-Determination under International law:
• To instruct the Black African American Negroid – Yahudym BAANY International African American Millennium Human Rights Center of and in International Law for their eventual freedom from continued foreign race, nation human rights violations of atrocities, oppression, racism and government lawlessness, as part of the activities envisaged in the Rebirth of the Black Nation-State Program,… to continue its training of Yahudym judges and other officials in effective application of international law, treaties on enforcing arbitral decisions and awards, with strict respect for due process and the sovereignty of each state and in compliance with international law; to continue promoting the Model Law on Secured Transactions among member states; and to raise awareness of the work of the BAANY International African American Millennium Human Rights Center Juridical Committee, including on principles on privacy and personal data protection and on the Model Law on Simplified Joint Stock Companies (Section i., para.2);
• To instruct the Department of International Law to promote among member states further development of private international law, in collaboration with organizations and associations engaged in this area, including the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law, the Hague Conference on Private International Law, and the American Association of Private International Law (Section i., para. 3).
The Afro-descendant Theme in the Americas
There are approximately 200 million people of African descent in the Americas, yet, despite comprising one third of the region's population, Afro-descendants are one of the most vulnerable minority groups in the hemisphere.
It should be noted that in the Declaration of Santiago and the Declaration of Durban, the American states recognized that people of African descent have to confront obstacles as a result of the social discrimination and prejudice that prevail in public and private institutions and also recognized that this is due to centuries of racism, racial discrimination and enslavement and of the denial by history of many of their rights This situation also results in a lack of recognition for the contribution of this group to the cultural heritage of the Americas.
We should draw attention to the fact that the Inter-American Democratic Charter recognizes that elimination of all forms of discrimination and respect for ethnic, cultural and religious diversity in the Americas contribute to strengthening democracy and citizen participation.
International Public Law provides several instruments against racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance. At the universal level the United Nations has driven substantial efforts to combat these scourges.
In the inter-American sphere, too, a number of mechanisms have been created to tackle this phenomenon and encourage respect for the rights of people of African descent in the Americas. Examples of this are the creation of the Rapporteurship on the Rights of Afro-Descendants and against Racial Discrimination of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights and the allusions to people of African descent in the Declaration of Mar del Plata in the framework of the Fourth Summit of the Americas in 2005 and in the Declaration of the Regional Conference of the Americas (Preparatory meeting for the Third World Conference against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance), held in Santiago, Chile, in 2000.
By the same token, a succession of mandates have come out of the [Summits of the Americas] and the General Assembly of the Organization of American States to combat racism and discrimination. The negotiation is at present under way in the framework of the OAS of a Draft Inter-American Convention against Racism and All Forms of Discrimination and Intolerance.
It should also be noted that at both the regional and international level the majority of member states have signed, ratified or adopted, as the case may be, a variety of international instruments for the elimination of racial discrimination as well as for promotion and respect for the rights of persons of African descent.

Western Downs Regional Council offers various ways to make payments. This makes it easier and more user friendly for customers to access. Find out how you can make a payment to Council.
Council has a number of forms that can be accessed in this section for your convenience. Please read instructions on forms carefully as some still need to be returned to a Customer Service Centre in person.
Western Downs Regional Council supports a number of funding programs and offers a range of community assistance programs.


HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) will assume direct control over some of its current IT services as part of its plan to adopt at a new delivery model once its Aspire contract ends in 2017.
HMRC hopes that by making the changes it will make in the region of 24% in savings on its £800 million IT budget by 20/21 while not forgoing quality customer service.
An IT contract change has provoked reactions in recent years, including a previous warning by the Public Accounts Committee that HMRC's IT approach could result in disaster for its systems as it looks for a replacement for Aspire. HMRC said that wasn't the case and that good progress is being made for an efficient and smooth transition.
HMRC is not always known for high-quality customer service, just one reason why an accountant is useful as they can provide instant responses to questions regarding maintaining the books. Business owners typically find it easier to simply hire an accountant in the Wirral and leave the numbers in their capable hands.


Police were called to a meeting of St Neots Town Council in the latest round of an acrimonious row involving a former councillor.
Bob Farrer, who served on the council until May, has now been banned from all the authority's premises.
But Mr Farrer has hit back with a letter from solicitors which says the council has "no power" to impose a legally effective blanket ban and that he did not recognise such a ban.
It said Mr Farrer accepted that councils had a power to exclude disorderly people and that his conduct must not be allowed to disrupt meetings - but disruptive behaviour must take place before a person could be excluded.
Mr Farrer voluntarily left the council's building on July 24 - where he had been attempting to speak in the public session at a council meeting - after two police officers arrived. A PCSO had earlier asked him to leave.
The incident is part of a long-running dispute over allegations made by Mr Farrer about the way the council has been run and his treatment.
In March, Mr Farrer, who was then still on the council, walked out of a meeting over the same issue after his "legal advisor" Ken Churchill, another former councillor, was told to leave when he tried to intervene on Mr Farrer's behalf and the situation turned nasty.
Town clerk Ed Reilly said the mayor, Councillor Barry Chapman, adjourned the meeting after Mr Farrer made some allegations and was abusive.
A PCSO arrived at the building, followed later by two police officers, and Mr Farrer left.
Mr Reilly said the incident had taken up about an hour of the council's time and, although councillors were able to resume business, part of the meeting had to be put off until Monday.
He said councillors had voted unanimously to ban Mr Farrer from council premises.
"These are all people who give up their own time to do this and someone is stopping them working which is making them angry," Mr Reilly said.
Mr Farrer told the Hunts Post that "things got a little heated" when he tried to press the points he had made at previous meetings and he had been asked to leave, but refused because he wanted an answer to his questions.
He said he felt it was "out of order" when it was suggested the police be called after the meeting was adjourned and he returned to his seat when the councillors left the room.
Mr Farrer said: "So I sat and waited. After 10 minutes a community officer turned up. He asked if I would leave and I said 'you have not got the power to ask me to leave, could you get a police officer'?

Dr. Donald DeGracia, NIH Medical Scientist Talks Yoga and Consciousness |388|
by Alex Tsakiris | Sep 4 | Consciousness Science
Dr. Donald DeGracia, breakthroughs in cell research and a deep understand of the yoga/consciousness link.
photo by: Skeptiko
I have an interview coming up in just a minute with Dr. Donald DeGracia from Wayne State University School of Medicine. Don is a brilliant guy. His details of his day job are way over my head as he's doing some very advanced research on stroke victims, and cell death, and he's received grants from the National Institute of Health grants and all of that good stuff. And he has a totally different approach to it, a non-linear approach.
But, what you'll hear in this interview is that none of that stuff really matters much because what Don's about is something much deeper… it has to do with spirituality, the nature of consciousness and the connection to yoga.
Of the hundreds of people that I've interviewed, Don is one of my favorites, particularly because you won't hear about him in a lot of other places. You won't see a lot of interviews with him, he's not out there pumping books, he gives his books away for free, and his thinking is just imaginative, unique and he's not afraid to tell it like it is.
So, it's an interview I really enjoyed doing, I hope you enjoy listening to it.
Alex Tsakiris: So, we already told folks you're there at Wayne State University, in the department of physiology, you're a professor, but you have this secret life, you have a couple of secret lives, but one of your secret lives is you're really into comics and you're wearing your Comic-Con… What t-shirt are you wearing there?
Dr. Donald DeGracia: Black Panther.
Alex Tsakiris: There we go.
Dr. Donald DeGracia: That's the original Black Panther for all the Black Panther fans out there.
Alex Tsakiris: You have comic street cred, you don't shy away from it, but you also have this other secret life of a yogi, and I think that is so cool and we relate to each other because I'm a yogi, and anyone's a yogi who says they're a yogi, you know? I had a guy…
Dr. Donald DeGracia: Effectively, yeah.
Alex Tsakiris: Yeah, well it's true. I had a guy on the show recently, and the guy was a total, in my opinion, a total pretender in terms of this, kind of, deeply spiritual, kind of, wise kind of guy. So, we kind of got into it a little bit and I said, "Yeah, I'm a yogi," and he goes, "What kind of yogi? What's your heritage, what weekend retreat did you go to?" kind of thing, and it's like, "No man, yogi is a state of mind. It's a philosophical shift, anyone can be a yogi," right? Once you're a yogi, you're not a yogi anymore, because it transcends that, but I kind of don't want to get too…
Dr. Donald DeGracia: No, I agree with that completely, yeah, it's totally a state of mind. Yeah, that's one of the awkward things about when I talk about yoga, because people ask me what I do, do I practice meditation and things like that. I do Yama and Niyama, that's what I do, because I'm not advanced enough to do meditation.
Alex Tsakiris: Yeah, explain that.
Dr. Donald DeGracia: It's the truth.
Alex Tsakiris: That's awesome.
Alex Tsakiris: Explain that.
Dr. Donald DeGracia: Well, you know, in both, What is Science? and in The Yogic View of Consciousness, I define Yama and Niyama as the reading, writing and arithmetic of yoga. Right? So, if you can't do reading, writing and arithmetic, you can't do anything in the real world and if you don't have Yama and Niyama you can't do yoga. Like for example in Yama, you have like celibacy is one of them, which is one of the more drastic ones, but being unselfish, being non-harmful, things like that, make up the list of the Yama's.
And then the Niyama's is like, studying the spiritual scriptures, meditation, things like that, and what they really amount to, is that Yama is, when the world itself loosens its grip on you, right? It's all designed to help you loosen your grip on the world because… I mean there's background to this, it's kind of hard to throw it in out of the blue, you have to… And this is what, I think, when you say you're just a yogi, anybody can be a yogi with a state of mind, well, it starts at realizing that the world isn't what it seems to be, and you start to question it, and you start to wonder, "What the hell is going on? What is this all about?" And once you get to a certain level of sophistication, you realize the world is not really something you can grab on to, right? Doubt, you just start to feel doubt, you really do become skeptical. Right? So, your title of Skeptiko is really quite apt to the whole enterprise.

Alex Tsakiris: Let me fast forward a bit, because once of the ways that I think what you're saying will resonate with people, is the word arrogance, that you just used a minute ago, or ignorance when it comes to the part of science, and I like the way that you put it, is it's not so much that they've created this obviously flawed model of reality being outside, but that they've turned it into an echo chamber where they really believe this shit themselves, this bullshit, and it becomes a dogma.
So, their naivety was getting past the "shut up and calculate", which is useful for building certain things, but then turning it into a religion, scientism and saying it's really true. But the way you contrast that, I love the way that you say, "Humanities are bitter." So, the humanities sit over there, and they say, as you point out, "Well at least we understand that there is such a thing as culture, society, human beings."
Dr. Donald DeGracia: And idealism, right? I mean the ideal of philosophy is now squarely in the humanities, it's no longer a part of science. And, so yeah, these people, they've been pushed out of the center because through most of Western history, the humanities were the center, right? The study of language, the study of arts, the study of philosophy and science was just a side brand, and then over the last…
Alex Tsakiris: But now we say, "Hey philosophy department, where's your fricken iPhone? Where's your iPhone? Show me your iPhone, you haven't given me anything." So, they're bitter.
Dr. Donald DeGracia: That's right. Yeah, and you know, the scientist just has an attitude of, "I don't care what you have to say, you could walk off the roof and gravity will pull you to the ground and kill you, just like it will everybody else, so shut up."
That's kind of the scientist attitude, and it has, it's made humanities very bare, because they're no longer the center of the action in the world, right? Because our whole world is driven by science and technology now.
So, these people, what have they done? They've lost their mind, they've literally gone insane, and you can see this beginning at the turn of the century with Russell, Bertrand Russell. For me he's the beginning of the insanity of philosophy. That guy, I just really don't like him very much. He failed at everything he did. He failed at the math he made up, he was a bad philosopher. He literally just asserted that idealism is wrong, because up to around the year 1900, idealism dominated philosophy, because it's inarguable. If you did it then you can't argue with idealism, but Bertrand Russell just said, there's some quote of him that I read, where he said, "I just felt so liberated to run through the green grass of the field, realizing that green grass is real." It's like what is this? It's emotionalism, it's like it's a stupid emotionalism and the dam broke and stupidity became synonymous with philosophy.
Then, you had post-modernism, structuralism, philosophies are dominated, up until now, where it's just absurd beyond belief, you know? What philosophy has become is a joke, it's a real insult. If the scientists are an insult to their heritage, then modern philosophy is an even bigger insult to its heritage, and we're just in a mess right now, it's like a Gordian Knot and it just needs to get [unclear 00:30:22] really.
On a certain level though, this is the beauty of putting all this in the context of yoga, because when you learn yoga, this comes back to the Yama and Niyama, this is just the way of the world, it's always rocking back and forth, there's always stuff erupting and blowing up, and going round and around, and that's just the way of the world. Yoga is about turning away from that, looking in, trying to find that center, trying to find the source of all of this stuff, and not… You just turn your back away from that for a while, that's a part of yoga, you turn your back on it and that's Yama and Niyama. You know?
[00:39:35]
Alex Tsakiris: Help me out with this one Don. When you get consciousness wrong, now we've talked a lot about science and some people call it science bashing, I don't consider it that way. I wrote a book a couple of years ago, Why Science is Wrong about almost everything, and the basic premise was that, if you get consciousness wrong in the way you're describing it, then it's hard really to get much of anything right. Talk about that.
Dr. Donald DeGracia: Yeah, and I've read it, it's a great book Alex. [unclear 00:40:08].
Alex Tsakiris: Thank you.
Dr. Donald DeGracia: So, make sure you put that on your shelf.
Alex Tsakiris: I will, I absolutely will, but expand on that point, because it's frustrating for me to have to explain to people, even people I really like and respect like Rupert Sheldrake, Cambridge biologist, but just recoil again at the idea that science is wrong about almost everything. No wait, they're right about lasers, they're right about…
Dr. Donald DeGracia: They're wrong about all of it, you're right. Then it comes back to Kant, see, we can only go back to Kant because Kant said it, everything that appears to be outside of us is actually in our mind. So, if we don't understand how our mind works, we really don't understand how those things work. And this is why we're faced with this shut up and calculate paradigm of quantum mechanics, because now, all of a sudden, we're confronted. Ever since the quantum mechanics in the 1930s, we've been confronted with the fact that, whatever this transcendental thing is that Kant was talking about, is nothing at all like what our senses perceive the world to be. Our senses are perceiving some very narrow, very narrow window, into what it really is. So, that right there should cause everybody to be highly skeptical about realism as a viewpoint. But yeah, for sure.
Alex Tsakiris: Let's pound on that a little bit further and I want to draw people's attention to some of your writings. One is an excellent article you wrote for Edge Magazine, which is a publication of the journal for scientific exploration. And you wrote an article about Beyond Neuroscience. You're really saying all the same things, but it's interesting that when you apply it to a different field, like neuroscience, and you say, "Hey, beware of all those pretty pictures that you see on your FMRI, because you may be interpreting them differently than they really are."
It helps people, I guess, maybe get a little bit closer to what you're really talking about here.
So, if you can, break that down in terms of Beyond Neuroscience, because we sure do love neuroscience.
Dr. Donald DeGracia: Sure, so okay. First thing to say is that article was written as almost a little precursor of the book, of The Yogic View of Consciousness. It was a follow up to that SSE topic that was put up on the internet, which also was a precursor to the book.
Alex Tsakiris: It's up on the internet, but I just had to repost it because you had it like unlisted or private, or something like that, no one could find it. I downloaded it and re uploaded it, and we'll talk about it.
Dr. Donald DeGracia: Really?
Alex Tsakiris: That's why no one could find it.
Dr. Donald DeGracia: Oh wow, I didn't think it was private. Anyway, so yeah, it all comes back to Kant. So, everything we perceive with our senses, the idea is, if you assume that the transcendental, there is something outside of our mind, if you make that assumption, you can't assume that whatever that is has the same form as it is in our mind. So, when we perceive something in our mind…
I actually address this in The Yogic View of Consciousness, and I show as an example a holograph.
Okay, so a holograph, you've seen a 3D holograph right? It looks like something, Louis Armstrong playing his trombone or whatever in 3D, but if you look at the holographic plate that floors that, it just looks like this weird, kind of semi-beautiful pattern that has nothing to do with it, it's just this weird abstract pattern floored on the holographic plate. But then if you do certain manipulation to that holographic plate it produces a holograph of Louis Armstrong.
So that's a good metaphor to try to understand the length between the transcendental and the actual appearances in our mind. So, we see Louis Armstrong in our mind, but in the real world of the transcendental, it's more like this abstract thing, that we're only getting a certain angle, a limited concept of.
Alex Tsakiris: So, but now introduce neuroscience, because what I hear you say is, neuroscience takes the joke and extends it one level further. They say, "No Don, we have this nice picture here of your mind, just look at it on the computer screen, and that is your mind, that's not just your brain, that is your mind."
Dr. Donald DeGracia: Well don't forget I'm highly… I have a PhD in this stuff, so if you want to go there, you're like asking for a fight.
Alex Tsakiris: What I want you to try and do for folks, is connect them to why it's so attractive to look at those FMRI's, why it's so alluring, and why it's complete nonsense.
Dr. Donald DeGracia: Well yeah, so in this advanced neuro course, I give a lecture on brain blood flow and lack of blood flow, which is ischemia, which [unclear 00:45:10]. But their exercise is they have to criticize, I give them some highly detailed brain anatomy literature to read and they have to explain why the FMRI's are so unbelievably crude and what their fundamental flaw is.
The flaw itself is that there's this concept called Block Design or Subtraction Design, and the idea being that, here's a standard FMRI experimental design, where, let's say you want to study what parts of the brain are involved with reading. So, what you'll do is, you'll put somebody in the FMRI machine and you'll show them just images that don't have words and that will activate the eyes and the visual part of the brain and then you'll show them just words which activates the eyes and the visual parts of the brain, plus the language part. Then they'll take the scan they get in the first instance, which is just visual activation, and subtract that from visual plus language activating, and then the difference they get is, they then say those are the language parts of the brain.
Once in a while it kind of works, but in general it does not work, and the reason it does not work goes back to this thing of non-linear. See, when you just add two things together they're assuming they're linear, and when you subtract them they're assuming you're linearly adding language to the other. So, you can't do that.
Alex Tsakiris: Why can't you do that? Why can't you do that? Break that down.
Dr. Donald DeGracia: Well because the system is inherently non-linear, that's why. But here's the even better thing, so somewhere around 2002-2003ish…
Alex Tsakiris: But hold on, back up there one second. The system is inherently non-linear.
Dr. Donald DeGracia: Non-linear means that you can't just add things together, they don't just simply… It's not two plus two equals four, it's more like, you've got this item and you add this item to it, and now it's like, instead of twice the effect you get four times the effect.
Alex Tsakiris: So why is that FMRI, I want to belabor this, why is that FMRI inherently non-linear? Explain that.
Dr. Donald DeGracia: Well the FMRI measures blood flow in the brain, okay? It's measuring the flow of blood, and first off, and this is another part of the exercise, the question of how losing the neurons links to blood flow, that's not been solved. There're several theories about it and the students are expected to learn those. They have the form of this ABC kind of thing, you've got to learn these different molecules that interact and so forth, and that in itself is flawed, because that assumes a linear sequence of events at the cellular level. And part of the anatomy…
There're actually some really good people in the field that write very intelligent articles, and I have them read one, like this is an amazing thing that even blows me away.
If you take one square millimeter of bone tissue, it has something like close to a million neurons in it, some several kilometers of [unclear 00:48:05], just unbelievably densely packed. And that unit, one square millimeter is a typical voxel of current MRI technology. So you're averaging across that whole thing, across a million neurons. What does that mean? At least temperature we understand theoretically because it's just molecules beating off stuff, but when you've got a million neurons interacting and you're averaging across all of that, what does that mean?
Alex Tsakiris: So, we can return to your analogy about the cell, and the cell is a city. So we can say, well that city is no more or we can say that city is still functioning, but if you were inside the city, it would make a really big difference if the city up and moved to another place, or if it got hit by an atomic bomb, or it got hit by some plague or something like that. All those things would be very different. So, there's an analogy here like with the FMRI too.
Dr. Donald DeGracia: Well in the use of MRI, we got a million cells in that volume of one voxel, one unit of that in it. So now, we're dealing with a million cities. What happens when you have a million cities interacting? You're getting the sum signal coming out, but that in fact has to do with the magnetization properties of blood, that's the basis of the FMRI signal, right? We have hemoglobin and that's a magnetic substance in our body, and you're altering the FMRI [unclear 00:49:35], then alters its magnetization, and you're getting this magnetic signal back out of the machine.
So, what the hell? We're talking about this unit of a million things and you shot this big magnetic pulse into it, or actually radio frequency that changes the magnetization, then you get the magnetic output, and yeah, it's literally voodoo, it's literally voodoo, and if the students don't recognize that, you get a very bad grade on my exercise.
It's propaganda, it's a matter of just like logically going through this, because if you're a scientist and you're really trying to reveal the mechanism of a function, that's your goal, right? You can't just fluffy arm waving stuff, and so it's a very strict, strong exercise, and they need to explain how…
And the other thing too…
Alex Tsakiris: But hold on, jump in there for a minute and return to a point, because it's nice to kind of really fully understand the pluses and the minuses, because it can be useful in some situations. But it's again returning to the shut up and calculate thing, let's not forget what we're assuming when we use that.
Dr. Donald DeGracia: Well FMRI is pretty good for diagnosing certain types of medical illnesses, that's the one thing that you can say. There're clear places where you get microscopic damage in the brain that you can detect with that technology. It's really good for diagnostic purposes.
Alex Tsakiris: But here's the point in all of that, so that's my little story. But the point is, when you start reading Yogananda, and you read the first 30 pages, for most of us, especially with any kind of grounding in Western realism, we're blown away by the miracles. I mean is this guy for real? Talking about manifesting things, meals right in front of him, by location of people, shape shifting.
So, this is a real guy, Yogananda, we have pictures of him, we have people who still remember sitting with him, people who recount seeing miracles, maybe not of that magnitude. But what are we to make of the yoga miracles we hear, that kind of challenge our understanding of how reality works, but more importantly for our discussion, how consciousness works? Do you have any thoughts on that Don?
Dr. Donald DeGracia: What I fall back on, from my own experience, because I got into all of this through theosophy. Actually, do you want to hear my experience? I was thinking about this, I don't think I shared this with you.
Alex Tsakiris: Absolutely.
Dr. Donald DeGracia: This is pretty amazing. So, when I was a kid, my dad used to take us to the local flea market on the weekend and we'd just look around at all the junk and stuff. I was in high school, so probably 15 or 16 or something.
One time we were there and there was a guy with a table set out and he had all these books, and I loved to read, even back then. So, I went up and looked, they were weird, they were like How To Do Telepathy and Astral Projection and all this weird stuff, and the guy just looks at me and goes, "I think this one's for you," and he gives me a book on how to astral project, and I'm like, "That's weird."
So, we go out to the car to go home and I look at the thing, and I'm like, "What is that?" I'm like, "I don't know, it's some stupid shit," and I threw it out the window, literally just threw it out the window. The irony just never left me, because it was only within a year or two after that that I started to have my astral projection.
So that's pretty wild, huh?
Alex Tsakiris: It's pretty wild but you've got to follow it up with the story of the first astral projection.
Dr. Donald DeGracia: Oh seriously? Yeah, I don't know if I ever shared that with you. So, yeah it was totally spontaneous, I had come home from school and I used to take naps when I'd come home from school. I'm lying there taking a nap, next thing you know, I wake up and I'm like spinning around the periphery of my bedroom, like the wall, the upper wall, where the ceiling meets the wall, literally spinning. I was terrified, yet at the same time I was like, "What is this?" My curiosity dominated over the terror. I felt this abstract feeling of terror, but it was just like, "What the hell is going on? What is going on?" And then boom, I woke up.
That was my very first experience, and then it happened a second time, and the second time the terror was still there but it had much less of an effect on me because I had recognized what had happened.
But, both of those happened in high school and I totally forgot about both of them. Then I went away to college, and you know with college you get into all the funny stuff. So, I ended up meeting this girl and she gave me [unclear 01:01:19] book about the astral plane.
I read it and he talked about going to this plane next to ours, and I just made the connection, I'm like, "That must've been what I did in high school." Like, "Somehow I can naturally go there by myself."
And me and my bud, my roommate, we set up this little contest, because he read the book, he was into the stuff too, and it was like, "Well let's see who can go there first." And we would just, like whatever, I would practice, he would practice, and we'd try to see if we could get back there and I ended up getting back there pretty quickly and that was the start of my whole adventure into working with astral projection or lucid dreaming, whatever you want to call it.
But most of that happened when I was in college.
Alex Tsakiris: And Don, maybe you should point people to the book you wrote.
Dr. Donald DeGracia: Yeah, DO_OBE. So, that's up there with my other book on dondeg.com, you can download it, and it actually explains the method that I use, that shows exactly how I do it. I developed a method that's very reproducibly worked really well. It turns out, in retrospect, it was the same method that Stephen LaBerge described as, a wakened lucid dream, or a wild, as he calls it. The exact same method.
Alex Tsakiris: So back to the question, and I'm sure you've thought a lot about this. What does the reality of that extended consciousness realm, that you tapped into, and we can only assume some of these yogis tapped into as well, what does that say more broadly about our understanding of consciousness as we experience it on a day to day basis?
Dr. Donald DeGracia: Well one thing it says is a lot of what consciousness is, is invisible to our immediate awareness. We're just not conscious of it, it's unconscious, yet it conditions our consciousness. Like I spend a lot of time in the book talking about that, so you might want to use the word filter, right? But these are things that effect how we perceive the world and how we act. Like where do creativity and inspiration and things like that come from? Right? These are the current, the undercurrent and the cave that filter off and effect our day to day behavior, our moment by moment behavior.
I give the example in the book of [Kekule 01:03:53], discovering the structure of benzene, right? And look at the impact that had on the world. In a way, you might think maybe that's a slow-motion example of some of these, what you're calling yogi miracles. Right? Maybe these yogis who become…
I just presume that in general they're telling the truth. Of course, there is a bunch of fakers and posers and stuff like that, but there's this ancient tradition that's lost in the midst of human history, we can't even say how old the yoga tradition is. I find it hard to believe that it would last this long if it was all BS, right?

Planning is essential for restaurateurs seeking a Georgia liquor license. Each individual business is required to obtain local, state and federal approval to sell liquor. If you're planning to open a brewpub or serve alcohol at a winery or a farm stand, there may be other Georgia state liquor laws with which to comply.
Unlike many states, liquor licenses are approved by the county or the municipality where the business will be located. Once you identify the relevant city or county, ask for application information. Fees vary from as little as $50 to over $5,000 in major cities like Atlanta.
The Georgia liquor license process begins at the local level and typically involves a number of steps and investigations into your personal and business interests before a license can be approved. Different local governments have different procedures and requirements. Since it's not always clear in Georgia exactly where a property is located, it's vital to make sure you know exactly where you need to apply. Check with the city and county zoning boards where you plan to locate your business to determine what documents and fees are required and which local agency oversees the process. As in most states, zoning is a key factor in license approval.
Before you do anything else, check with the city and the county where your business will be located to make sure that your proposal meets all zoning rules and regulations. The city of Atlanta also requires a certified survey of your premises to make sure the location complies with Georgia laws stating that no business serving alcohol can be located within 100 yards of a church or 200 yards of a school.
In some counties, you may also be asked to submit a floor plan, a drawing of the premises highlighting the service area measured in square footage, as well as schedule a meeting with the appropriate Neighborhood Planning Unit.
All Georgia liquor licenses require a significant amount of paperwork. Further, your personal background and your business will be investigated prior to approval. Although specific requirements vary by county and municipality, all prospective owners must be U.S. citizens and residents at least 21 years old. There is a required background check which may ask for evidence of permanent residence in Georgia, letters of reference, photo identification, fingerprints and/or photo ID.
You should locate all your corporate documents and have them ready to submit with your application. You also need to provide proof that you own or lease the place in which you hope to sell alcohol. In addition, you'll need to show records or all financial investments related to the business and a copy of the menu proving that food will be served for onsite dining. In some cities, an in-person interview with an investigator is required. In Atlanta, you'll need out to fill out a personal history card and be fingerprinted at the permit office. In Atlanta, you are also required to post a notice in the newspaper at least 10 days before you meet with the License Review Board. If you are seeking a Georgia liquor license elsewhere in the state, check with your local licensing board to see if it has specific requirements for completing your application. For example, some cities will require that your servers obtain an alcohol server permit in Georgia.
After working to obtain a local Georgia liquor license, the next step is to apply for license approval from the state. Fortunately, this is much easier than obtaining local approval because you already have the necessary documents. You must provide the Revenue Department with a notarized copy of the Georgia Alcohol and Tobacco Personnel Statement, a financial affidavit, a scanned copy of your local license and the citizenship affidavit, and proof of citizenship documents. If you haven't already done so, you may be required to submit to a background check and fingerprinting.
Owners of brewpubs and wineries will also have to obtain a federal permit to sell alcoholic beverages from the Alcohol and Tobacco Taxes and Trade Bureau, a division of the U.S. Department of the Treasury. This can be done entirely online, and there is no application fee.

Summer time is just for a short period of time. Maybe this is a good thing at times when there is so much to do so many places to go. A little breeze, a moment to sit and ponder the day, a cool glass of lemonade these are the things that I love during a busy summer day when the world seems to start spinning out of control. Now I found a delicious little treat that is perfect for a summer giveaway even its just for a moment.
3. Stir in the frosting, salt, extract, nuts and fruit until well combined.
4. Scrape into the prepared pan and sprinkle with additional nuts or fruit as garnish, if using.
5. Refrigerate for at least 1/2 hour or until firm. Cut it into squares to serve.
Today is national peach ice cream day. Here in southern Illinois there are peach orchards in a few different places none better known to our family than the Rendleman Orchards. The orchard has been a family farm selling their good for over 100 years. The delicious juicy peaches that can be found there are perfect to create into delicious recipes like peach ice cream.
Peel the peaches, slice them in half, and remove the pits. Cut the peaches into chunks and cook them with the water in a medium, nonreactive saucepan over medium heat, covered, stirring once or twice until soft and cooked through, about 10 minutes.
Puree the cooked peaches and any liquid in a blender or food processor with the sour cream, heavy cream, vanilla and lemon juice until almost smooth but slightly chunky.
Chill the mixture thoroughly in the refrigerator (overnight is best) then freeze it in your ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions.

Michelle Carter Denied Parole
"The [board] is troubled that Ms. Carter not only encouraged [Conrad Roy III] to take his own life, she actively prevented others from intervening in his suicide", the MA parole board wrote in the decision to deny parole, according to The Hill. She sat on the phone with him and listened as he inhaled carbon monoxide in his pickup truck in a secluded parking lot.
The Massachusetts Parole Board took less than a day to decide that Michelle Carter should not be released after serving only seven months in prison.
Roy's aunt, Becki Maki, said in a statement provided by Quinn's office that Carter still belongs in custody. The now 22-year-old woman began her sentence in February.
In denying Carter's request for parole, one of the board members wrote: "Given subject's behavior in facilitating victim's death, release [is] not compatible with [the] best interest of society". She asked the U.S. Supreme Court in July to overturn her conviction on First Amendment grounds.
But even though Carter's request for parole has been denied, she is still expected to be released early for good behavior.
Both Roy and Carter suffered from clinical depression and had previously attempted suicide, two disheartening factors the young pair centered their companionship on.
In text messages released during the trial, Carter appeared frustrated because Conrad had not gone through with killing himself. She sent him dozens of texts from more than 30 miles away encouraging him to kill himself and "get back in" his truck, despite his apprehensions.

'Drink bleach. Why don't you just drink bleach?
Carter (shown in 2017) was 17 years old and recently discharged from a psychiatric hospital when she encouraged her boyfriend, Roy, 18, to commit suicide on July 13, 2014.
Carter was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in 2017 and was sentenced by a Juvenile Court Judge to serve 15 months behind bars.
Carter has served around half her sentence, but a MA state parole board rejected her application to be set free this week.
"I think she needs to be held responsible for her actions 'cause she knew exactly what she was doing and what she said", Roy told "48 Hours" correspondent Erin Moriarty.
"Well, I guess [that I am frustrated] just because you always say you are gonna do it but you don't, but last night I know you really wanted to do it and I'm not mad".

Sculpture planned for new city development is unveiled
Impression: How the sculpture may look.
This could be the sculpture sitting at the one of the gateways to the City Fields development.
Wakefield Council and arts organisation Beam have this image of the sculpture planned for a grassed area just off Aberford Road, which is an entrance to the housing and retail development.
Coun Denise Jeffery, Wakefield Council's cabinet member for economic growth and regeneration, said: "We are delighted with the exciting plans for an impressive sculpture at the gateway to the new City Fields development.
"The sculptor has designed an art installation that highlights the historical significance of the nearby canal.
"We hope it will become a significant feature to this rapidly developing area which will support housing, growth and economic prosperity in our district."
The sculptor is Graeme Mitcheson, who has vast experience of creating artwork for public spaces, working mainly with stone, glass and concrete to create large scale art features.
The sculpture takes its shape and scale from the lock gates constructed a short distance from the site at Stanley Ferry.
Work will start on the City Fields sculpture once planning permission is secured.
A detailed masterplan for the development was drawn up in 2016 but it could take up to 20 years to be completed.
When it is complete, City Fields will be made up of around 2,500 new homes, leisure, retail and business facilities, a new primary school, health facilities and parkland.

Aussie festivals have come together to launch the #VoteMusic campaign
By Tyler Jenke

Shout Tyler Jenke a coffee
Some of the biggest music festivals in Australia have come together today to launch the #VoteMusic campaign in hopes of saving New South Wales' live music scene.
If you found yourself on Facebook this morning, you might have noticed that the profiles of some of your favourite festivals might look a little bit different.
Yes, instead of showing their iconic logos or images of music-lovers in their element, festivals such as Splendour In The Grass, St Jerome's Laneway Festival and more have changed their display pictures to that of static.
No, it's not a glitch or anything wrong with your timeline, rather, it's all part of the campaign to combat the draconian, backwards festival regulations being implemented by the NSW government.
Launching today, the Australian Festival Association have kicked off the #VoteMusic campaign, an initiative to protect live music in New South Wales.
Launched in association with Live Performance Australia, APRA AMCOS, Live Music Office, Music NSW, ARIA and PPCA, it appears that this is a campaign that has widespread support throughout the Aussie music industry.
"Right now, live music in NSW is under threat through poorly-designed and heavy-handed new regulations for music festivals," the alliance wrote in a statement today.
"The music industry was willing to work constructively with government before it introduced these regulations. That failed so we're now making sure our voices will be heard during the election campaign."
"More than 3.2 million people of all ages and backgrounds attended a live music event in New South Wales last year," they continued. "The live music industry is worth $1b nationally and a third of that revenue is generated in NSW.
The AFA notes they're encouraging every eligible voter to check with their local candidates in regards to if they support live music when it comes time to vote on March 23rd.
"Our simple message is this: If you care about live music in NSW, #VOTEMUSIC on March 23 (and make sure you preference every box)."
"Time and again people have approached me to tell me how a piece of music has defined a pivotal moment in their life. I can't help but feel that we are currently in an incredibly dark chapter in NSW's rich music history." — Michael Gudinski #VoteMusic pic.twitter.com/5lQWmrNNeM
— Frontier Touring (@frontiertouring) March 11, 2019
Of course, this isn't the first time others have weighed in on the plight of the New South Wales music lover, with Peking Duk calling on voters to vote out NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian, while the Red Hot Chili Peppers' Flea called the new regulations "the stupidest fucking thing I've ever heard in my life."
Likewise, industry icon Michael Gudinski of Frontier Touring also shared a few words on social media in support of the new campaign.
"Time and again people have approached me to tell me how a piece of music has defined a pivotal moment in their life," Gudinski wrote. "I can't help but feel that we are currently in an incredibly dark chapter in NSW's rich music history."
In a statement offered up this afternoon, John Graham, Shadow Minister for Music also made it clear that "Labor supports the #VoteMusic campaign."
"This campaign is a glimpse of the future of the NSW music scene – static and white noise," Mr. Graham explained. "To save music in NSW we need to change the government."
"To #VoteMusic, vote Labor, preference every square, and put the Liberals' and Nationals' last."
New South Wales residents are set to go to the polls on March 23rd, so while you're exercising your right to vote, be sure to keep one simple phrase in mind; "If you care about live music in NSW, #VOTEMUSIC on March 23."

Midnight All Over The World
There's more going on in this world around you than Climate Change. There is upheaval on many fronts in many lands; an acute awareness of people in other places, of longing to know and experience what they are doing, and how ideas are evolving.
In the United States, government is teaching citizens to fear #ISIS but open their arms to immigrants, as racial tensions mount.
In Russia, government is teaching citizens to fear homosexuals, as it copes with monetary issues involving #Ukraine and oil.
In Iran, leadership seems to be loosening its grip on freedom-fighters.
In Hong Kong, students are testing the boundaries of freedom as Beijing adjusts to shepherding a democracy whose control it regained from Great Britain in the late 1990s.
You can add your own country and conditions here. Point is, what was is history - leaders are cooking up new recipes for governance, law and order - as customs and mores flex.
Let's take a look at what's happening in Russia. During the Summer of 2013, President Vladimir Putin signed a measure limiting the adoption of Russian children by couples from nations which have legalized same-sex marriage. The law also prohibits adoption by single people or unmarried couples from those same countries. A Kremlin statement said the bill was intended to protect children in the interest of guaranteeing them a "harmonious" upbringing, free from "complexes, emotional suffering and stress." Gays are fleeing the old Soviet Union. Fast-forward to Autumn 2014:
Kevin Rothrock reports via Global Voices that Russia's controversial monument to Steve Jobs is back in the news. Shaped like an iPhone and more than six-feet tall, the statue belongs to the West European Financial Union (ZEFS), which installed it in the courtyard of the St. Petersburg State University of Information Technologies in 2013, only to remove it last month, as a way of condemning Apple CEO Tim Cook's announcement that he is gay. News about the apparently homophobic reason for the monument's removal caused a global uproar. The St. Petersburg university, however, soon claimed that the statue would return after ZEFS completed some necessary repairs.
It now seems clear that Russia's giant iPhone monument isn't coming back. Earlier on December 1, ZEFS announced it will auction the statue to anyone who promises to take it abroad. The starting price is set at 5 million rubles (about $95,000). "Based on an internal vote, the company has decided to hold an auction. Roughly half of those who voted were against the idea of returning the monument to its place in St. Petersburg," ZEFS explained in a press release.
Screen capture from ZEFS's website,
promoting the auction for its Steve
Jobs monument.
Technically, the auction is already underway, though ZEFS reports that it has not yet received an eligible bid. The company appears to be receiving bids on the splash page of its main website, rather awkwardly through its general "feedback" interface.
After the removal of the Jobs monument, Vkontakte launched "Save Steve," offering publicly to cover all repair costs and reassemble the statue at its own headquarters, which is also in St. Petersburg. Following ZEFS's announcement today that the statue costs 5 million rubles and requires a promise to remove it from Russia, Vkontakte Press Secretary Georgy Lobushkin said his company won't be participating in such a "farce." Without making any concrete promises, Lobushkin said Vkontakte will consider building its own monument to Jobs.
