Earth Ancients
Earth Ancients chronicles the growing (and often suppressed) evidence of known and unknown civilizations, their ruined cities, and artifacts developed from advanced science and technology. Erased from the pages of time, these cultures discovered and charted the heavens, developed medicine and unleashed advancements that parallel and, in many cases, surpass our own. Join us and discover our lost history.Armed with the thousands of anomalous archeological discoveries which have not been covered by conventional science and the media, we can no longer deny our ancient cultural inheritance. Our written history is wrong and we've been led to believe that humanity is just a few hundred thousand years old. In fact, the Hindu Yugas advance the notion that Homo Sapiens are millions of years old, and have lived onplanet Earth through a series of rebirths.It's now a fact that we are the survivors of a series of cataclysmic events that took place approximately 12,000 to 14,000 years ago. Our ancestors may have been aware of these impending disasters and fled underground shelter, or survived in caves; others may have left the planet, but a huge number perished. Though Earth Ancients does explore some of the popular theories that ancient aliens have visited ourplanet, our philosophy and research paradigm is decidedly Earth-centric, elevating the historical discourseabout human brilliance and ingenuity found in the archaeological evidence.
Destiny: Dr. Bruce Scofield, The Nature of Astrology
An in-depth examination of how astrology is a form of systems science• Shares modern biological studies offering evidence that our solar system neighbors profoundly affect and shape life on our planet• Explores the early practice of astrometeorology, revealing the links between the solar system, weather, and climate over large spans of time• Looks at the history, philosophy, and methodologies of astrology, as well as its potential future applications in medicine and the social sciencesOur ancient ancestors recorded the rhythms of the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars, correlating these rhythms with weather, plant growth, and animal and human behaviors. From these early geocosmic recordings were born calendars, astronomy, and astrology. While astrology is now mostly viewed as subjective fortune-telling, Bruce Scofield argues that astrology is not only a practice but also a science, specifically a form of systems science--a set of techniques for mapping and analyzing self-organizing systems.Providing clear evidence that our solar system neighbors profoundly affect and shape life on our planet, Scofield shares modern biological and climatological studies on the effects of Earth's rotation, the Sun, the Moon, and the rhythms of light, gravity, magnetism, and solar radiation on terrestrial processes. He explores the early practice of astrometeorology, a method of weather forecasting used from ancient times into the Renaissance, revealing the links between the solar system, weather, and climate over large spans of time. He shares his own studies on the correlations between Saturn's position and terrestrial weather as well as presenting a wealth of evidence on astrological effects and the theories and mechanics behind them.Presenting a broad look at how the cosmic environment shapes nature, the author shows how the practice and natural science of astrology can expand its applications in modern society in such varied fields as medicine, history, and sociology.Bruce Scofield holds a doctorate in geosciences from the University of Massachusetts, a master's degree in social sciences from Montclair University, and a degree in history from Rutgers University. Currently an instructor for Kepler College and president of the Professional Astrologers Alliance, he is the author of 14 books. He lives in Amherst, Massachusetts.
SPECIAL EDITION, The Archives, Dr. Chris Hardy, Wars of the Anunnaki
Drawing upon the work of Zecharia Sitchin, the Book of Genesis, Sumerian clay tablets, and archaeological evidence such as ancient radioactive skeletons, Chris Hardy reveals the ancient nuclear event that destroyed the Sumerian civilization and the power struggles of the "gods" that led up to it.Examines the Anunnaki gods' evolving relationships with humanity, their power struggles, and the details of their nuclear war on Earth• Analyzes the crisis and rationale behind the Anunnaki decision to nuke 5 cities in the Jordan plain, resulting in the obliteration of Sumerian civilization• Draws upon the work of Zecharia Sitchin, the Book of Genesis, Sumerian clay tablets, and archaeological evidence such as ancient radioactive skeletons• Examines the Anunnakis' lack of higher consciousness, their reliance on technology, their sacred power objects and sacred geometry, and the possibility of Anunnaki bases on Mars in the distant pastThe detonation of nuclear weapons in the 20th century was not the first time humanity has seen such terrible destruction. Drawing upon the work of Zecharia Sitchin, the Book of Genesis, Sumerian clay tablets, and archaeological evidence such as ancient radioactive skeletons, Chris Hardy reveals the ancient nuclear event that destroyed the Sumerian civilization and the power struggles of the "gods" that led up to it.The author explains how the Anunnaki came to Earth from the planet Nibiru seeking gold to repair their ozone layer. Using genetic engineering, they created modern humanity to do their mining work and installed themselves as our kings and our gods. Anunnaki god Enki had a fatherly relationship with the first two humans. Then Enlil, Enki's brother, took over as Commander of Earth, instating a sole-god theocracy and a war against the clan of Enki and humanity for spoiling the Anunnaki bloodlines through interbreeding. This shift imposed a blackout not only of the very human nature of the Anunnaki "gods" but also of humanity's own ancient past on Earth.Two of Enlil's attacks against the Enki clan and humanity are described in the stories of the Deluge and the Tower of Babel. His final attempt, after coercing the Assembly of the Gods into voting yes, was the nuclear bombing of 5 cities of the Jordan plain, including Sodom and Gomorrah, which resulted in the destruction of the Sumerian civilization and the Anunnakis' own civilization on Earth, including their space port in the Sinai. The author reveals how, after each attempt, humanity was saved by Enki, chief scientist Ninmah, and Enki's son Hermes.The author explores how the Anunnakis' reliance on technology and their recurrent wars caused them to lose touch with cosmic consciousness. And she reveals how we will be doomed to repeat this dynamic until humanity awakens to our true origins.Chris H. Hardy, Ph.D., holds a doctorate in ethno-psychology. A cognitive scientist and former researcher at Princeton's Psychophysical Research Laboratories, she has spent many years investigating nonlocal consciousness through systems theory, chaos theory, and her own Semantic Fields Theory. The author of many research papers and published books, including DNA of the Gods and The Sacred Network, she lives in France.

Marco Vigato: Ancient Apocalypse, Mexico
The Empires of Atlantis: The Origins of Ancient Civilizations and Mystery Traditions throughout the AgesEstablishes the historical and geological reality of Atlantis and reveals its continuing influence around the world• Traces the course of Atlantean civilization through its three empires, as well as the colonies and outposts formed by its survivors in Egypt, Göbekli Tepe, India, Mesopotamia, the Mediterranean, and North and South America• Shows how pyramids and other megalithic monuments testify to the survival of a "Sacred Science" of Atlantean origin and how this Sacred Science provided the foundation for esoteric traditions and secret societies throughout the ages• Draws on more than 500 ancient and modern sources and the author's own personal exploration of hundreds of archaeological sitesExploring more than 100,000 years of Earth's history, Marco Vigato combines recent discoveries in the the fields of archaeology, geology, anthropology, and genetics with the mystery teachings of antiquity to investigate the true origins of civilization. Establishing the historical and geological reality of Atlantis stretching all the way back to 432,000 BCE, he traces the course of Atlantean civilization through its three empires, revealing how civilization rose and fell several times over this lengthy span of time.The author shows that Atlantis did not vanish "in one terrible day and night" but survived in a variety of different forms well into the historical era. He reveals how the the first Atlantean civilization lasted from 432,000 to 35,335 BCE, the second one from 21,142 to 10,961 BCE, and the third Atlantis civilization--the one celebrated by Plato--collapsed in 9600 BCE, after the Younger Dryas cataclysm. The author examines the role of Atlantean survivors in restarting civilization in different parts of the world, from Göbekli Tepe and Egypt to India, Mesopotamia, and the Americas. He personally documents their colonies and outposts around the globe, offering unique views of the colossal network of pyramids, earthen mounds, and other megalithic monuments they le behind. He shows how these monuments testify to the survival of a sacred science of Atlantean origin, and he documents the survival of the primeval Atlantean tradition through various secret societies into the modern era.Drawing on more than 500 ancient and modern sources and sharing never-before-seen photographs from his own personal exploration of hundreds of archaeological sites around the world, Vigato shows not only that Atlantis was real but that the whole world is now being called to become a New Atlantis and awaken into a new golden age.Marco M. Vigato has has dedicated the past 15 years to documenting the evidence of ancient advanced civilizations around the world.

Michael Cremo: Earth's Sacred Ancestry
Over the centuries, researchers have found bones and artifacts proving that humans like us have existed for millions of years. Mainstream science, however, has suppressed these facts. Prejudices based on current scientific theory act as a knowledge filter, giving us a picture of prehistory that is largely incorrect.Michael A Cremo is a research associate of the Bhaktivedanta Institute specializing in the history and philosophy of science. His persistent investigations during the eight years of writing Forbidden Archeology documented a major scientific cover-up. Richard L. Thompson, founding member of the Bhaktivedanta Institute, received his Ph.D. in mathematics form Cornell University.
Destiny: Dr. Jude Currivan, The Story of Gaia
Explores how the Universe, our planet, ourselves, and everything in existence has inherent meaning and evolutionary purpose• Examines our emergence as self-aware members of a Universe that is itself a unified and innately sentient entity that exists TO evolve• Shares leading-edge scientific breakthroughs and shows how they support traditional visions of Earth as a living being--Gaia• Rewrites evolution as not driven by random occurrences and mutations but by intelligently informed and meaningful information flows and processesExploring our emergence as self-aware members of a planetary home and entire Universe that is a unified and innately sentient entity, Jude Currivan, Ph.D., shows that mind and consciousness are not what we possess but what we and the whole world fundamentally are. She reveals our Universe as "a great thought of cosmic mind," manifesting as a cosmic hologram of meaningful in-formation that, vitally, exists to evolve.Sharing scientific breakthroughs, the author details the 13.8 billion-year story of our Universe and Gaia, where everything in existence has inherent meaning and evolutionary purpose. Showing how the Universe was born, not in an implicitly chaotic big bang, but as the first moment of a fine-tuned and ongoing "big breath," she shares the latest evidence for the innate sentience that has guided our universal journey from simplicity to ever-greater complexity, diversity, and self-awareness--from protons to planets, plants, and people. She explains how evolution is not driven by random occurrences and mutations but by profoundly resonant and harmonic interplays of forces and influences, each intelligently informed and guided.In Gaia, the Universe's evolutionary impulse is embodied in collaborative relationships and dynamic co-evolutionary partnerships on a planetary scale and as a wholistic gaiasphere. She reveals how the conscious evolution of humanity is an integral part of Gaia's own evolutionary progress and purpose. By perceiving and experiencing our planet as a sentient being and ourselves as Gaians, we open ourselves to a deeply ecological, evolutionary, and, above all, hopeful worldview.Jude Currivan, Ph.D., is a cosmologist, futurist, planetary healer, member of the Evolutionary Leaders Circle, and previously one of the most senior business women in the UK. She has a master's degree in physics from Oxford University and a doctorate in archaeology from the University of Reading. She has travelled extensively, worked with wisdom keepers from many traditions and is a life-long researcher into the nature of reality. She is the author of 6 books, including The Cosmic Hologram, and is co-founder of WholeWorld-View.
Robert Schoch: The Solar-Induced Dark Age
A new expanded edition of the groundbreaking investigation into early high cultures and ancient solar outbursts• Updated throughout with recent developments and additional illustrations• Reveals how solar outbursts caused the end of the last ice age, unleashed catastrophe upon ancient advanced civilizations, and led to six millennia of a Solar-Induced Dark Age• Includes evidence from solar science, geology, oceanic circulation patterns, the Sphinx, the underground cities of Cappadocia, the Easter Island rongorongo glyphs, and the Göbekli Tepe complex in TurkeyIn this newly revised and expanded edition, updated throughout with recent developments, geologist Robert Schoch builds upon his revolutionary theory that the origins of the Sphinx date back much further than 2500 BCE and examines scientific evidence of the catastrophe that destroyed early high culture nearly 12,000 years ago.Combining evidence from multiple scientific disciplines, Schoch makes the case that the abrupt end of the last ice age, circa 9700 BCE, was due to an agitated Sun. Solar outbursts unleashed electrical/plasma discharges upon Earth, triggering dramatic climate change as well as increased earthquake and volcanic activity, fires, high radiation levels, and massive floods. Schoch explains how these events impacted the civilizations of the time, set humanity back thousands of years, and led to six millennia of a Solar-Induced Dark Age (SIDA). Applying the SIDA framework to ancient history, he explores how many megalithic monuments, petroglyphs, indigenous traditions, and legends fall logically into place, including the underground cities of Cappadocia, the Easter Island rongorongo glyphs, and the Göbekli Tepe complex in Turkey. He also reveals that our Sun is a much more unstable star than previously believed, suggesting that history could repeat itself with a solar outburst powerful enough to devastate modern society.Weaving together a new view of the origins and antiquity of civilization and the dynamics of the planet we live on, Schoch maintains we must heed the megalithic warning of the past and collectively prepare for future events.Robert M. Schoch, Ph.D., a tenured faculty member at Boston University, earned his doctorate in geology and geophysics at Yale University in 1983. Known for his research on ancient civilizations, he is the author of numerous books, including Origins of the Sphinx. Catherine Ulissey, a 20-year ballet and Broadway dance veteran, earned her B.A. from Emerson College in 2002. Married to Dr. Schoch in 2010, she enjoys contributing to his research while teaching her art, formerly for Harvard University's dance program and more recently for Wellesley College.
Destiny: Andrew Harvey & Carolyn Baker, Radical Regeneration
An inspiring manual for navigating humanity's collective dark night and enacting personal and planetary transformation• Explores how Sacred Activism--specifically, creative, wise, sacredly inspired action--offers an antidote to the crises facing our world• Reveals how to uncover and sustain joy and how to use it as fuel for continuing Sacred Activism in dangerous times• Includes practical maps of the dark night process and of the four-part path to transfiguration drawn from the secret depths of the mystical traditionsPresenting a manual for navigating humanity's collective dark night, Andrew Harvey and Carolyn Baker explore potential antidotes, drawn from mystical traditions and Sacred Activism, to help us find inspiration and take action in the face of the daunting challenges to our world.Offering a deep discussion of our global dark night in terms of the Kali Yuga, the authors examine the dangers of a growing constellation of intractable crises--authoritarianism both in America and abroad, climate change, economic inequality, social upheaval, and spiritual malaise. They then explore the antidotes to these crises: Sacred Activism--specifically, creative, wise, sacredly inspired action--and a profound understanding of our evolutionary ordeal and its potentialities. Examining the power of joy to help enact personal and planetary transformation, they explain how joy, or ananda, is a force all mystical traditions recognize as the essence of the Divine. They reveal how to uncover and sustain joy in ourselves and how to use joy as fuel for continuing Sacred Activism in dangerous times.Drawing on the visionary teachings of mystics such as Pierre Teilhard de Chardin and Sri Aurobindo, the authors show how the global dark night is part of an evolutionary mutation process and how its very intensity makes it the potential seedbed of a new embodied, divine humanity. They offer practical maps of the crises, of the shadows that this global dark night is casting, and of the four-part path to transfiguration drawn from mystical traditions. Sharing a vision of a new and focused global moment of love in action, the authors reveal that apocalypse is not inevitable--if enough people awaken to the extraordinary possibilities of Sacred Activism.Andrew Harvey is an internationally renowned religious scholar, writer, spiritual teacher, and the author of more than 30 books. The founder and director of the Institute for Sacred Activism, he lives in Chicago, Illinois. Carolyn Baker, Ph.D., is a former psychotherapist and professor of psychology and history.

Nick Redfern: How Antigravity Built the Pyramids
Discover the Lost Secrets of the Ancients and the Time When Stones Floated High over Egypt Throughout history, folklore, and mystery, tales have circulated of massive stones being moved through the air effortlessly by sound. Bizarre? Well, yes, it is. That doesn't take away the fact that sound was, and still remains, the key to the construction of the pyramids of Egypt, Stonehenge, the stone figures of Easter Island, and the massive stones at Baalbek, Lebanon. Were they the work of ancient humans or of equally ancient extraterrestrials?How Antigravity Built the Pyramids delves into specific stories and theories:A 9th-century story of a mysterious papyrus with the power to move large stones at the Giza NecropolisThe Mayan story of the construction of the Pyramid of the Magician said to be overseen by a small humanoid who could whistle large stones into placeNative American stories of ancient priests being able to make stones light to move easily Author Nick Redfern argues it was not literally music and whistling that somehow raised large stones, but both have one thing in common: sound. Acoustics. Almost certainly, acoustic levitation was at the heart of these incredible feats.The truth of the science behind acoustic levitation was lost and forgotten for ages with little more left than fanciful tales of music, whistles, a curious papyrus, and strange metal rods that could achieve incredible feats in the air. Today, we are finally starting to get a grasp on this incredible technology, a technology that may have been the work of ancient humans, aliens from faraway worlds—or, perhaps, a combination of the two.Nick Redfern is the author of more than sixty books, including The NASA Conspiracies, Keep Out!, The Real Men in Black, Bloodline of the Gods, and The Pyramids and the Pentagon. He has been on many television shows, including Travel Channel's In Search of Monsters; History Channel's UnXplained, Ancient Aliens, and Monster Quest; SyFy Channel's Proof Positive; and the National Geographic Channel's Paranatural. Nick is a regular guest on Coast to Coast AM.
Dr. Courtney Brown: Remote Viewing Earth's Forgotten Past
What is Remote Viewing? Remote viewing is a controlled and trainable mental process involving psi (or psychic ability). Remote-viewing procedures were originally developed in laboratories funded by the United States military and intelligence services and used for espionage purposes. The scientific understanding of the remote-viewing phenomenon has greatly advanced in recent years, and as a result the process of remote viewing can now be reliably demonstrated in both laboratory and operational settings.It is a matter of historical record that remote viewing has been used operationally in the past with considerable success by the U.S. government for espionage purposes, and a number of books recounting such programs have been published. There was even an official (and largely positive) evaluation of a significant part of the government's early remote-viewing program.Courtney Brown is a mathematician and social scientist who teaches in the Department of Political Science at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. Independent of his work at the university, he is also the leading scholar on the subject of "remote viewing" as it is done using procedures that were developed by the United States military.
Ann Williams: National Geographic, Treasures of Egypt
Drawing from National Geographic's unparalleled photo archive, the images in this breathtaking volume celebrate the vibrant beauty and rich cultural heritage of Egypt on the 100th anniversary of the discovery of King Tut's tomb.Egypt's rich history astonishes us again and again with priceless treasures, exquisite craftsmanship, and a bounty of artifacts that enables us to envision the past with extraordinary detail. It is an epic saga 5,000 years in the making, and one that National Geographic has covered for more than a century.This magnificent book, published to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the discovery of King Tut's tomb, portrays the hallowed country's most remarkable achievements, viewed through decades of discovery chronicled in National Geographic magazine. From the breathless opening of King Tut's tomb in 1922 to the astonishing find of perfectly preserved boats, entombed for eternity near Giza's pyramids, here is the story of a proud and dynamic empire that changed the world; its colossal architecture and imposing statues force us to re-think the engineering limitations of the world before modern tools were available.Documenting a series of incredible discoveries―including a complex of royal graves filled with dazzling gold artifacts at the ancient city of Tanis, intriguing clues to the life and times of Cleopatra, and newly uncovered traces of Alexandria, Abydos, and other fabled sites―Treasures of Egypt embodies the culture's most fascinating historical milestones.

His new book, "Cryptic Code of the Templar's in America: Origins of the Hooked X," is available early June 2019.
SPECIAL EDITION: The Archives: Carlotto & Brandenburg, Archaeological Ruins on the Moon
Mark Carlotto & John Brandenburg: Lunar Anomalies and Archaeology Are there archaeological ruins on the Moon?Following the discovery of unknown artifacts and structural anomalies during Apollo 11 & 12 space missions, there has been great speculation that NASA was aware of other civilizations on the moon.For centuries astronomers have observed transient lunar phenomena (TLP) - lights that appear and, in some cases, move across the lunar surface. In 1968 NASA published a report describing hundreds of TLP sightings. With the recent discovery of collapsed lava tubes by Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter and other probes, there is growing speculation that vast subterranean spaces exist below the lunar surface suitable for settlement and manufacturing. In this program we consider the possibility that some TLP may originate from within the moon and that collapsed lava tubes may be a more likely place to find evidence of extraterrestrial activity than on the surface.Mark Carlotto is an aerospace engineer with over thirty years of experience in remote sensing, pattern recognition, computer vision, signal/image processing, and terrain mapping. He received a Ph. D. in Electrical Engineering from Carnegie-Mellon University in 1981 and has more than one hundred publications and several books in a number of areas. Go to https://www.facebook.com/Search-for-Extraterrestrial-Artifacts-273770299642158/ for more information.Dr. John E. Brandenburg is a plasma physicist working as a consultant at Morningstar Applied Physics LLC and as a part-time instructor of Astronomy, Physics and Mathematics at Madison College, in Madison, Wisconsin. He's the author of Life and Death on Mars (2010), and Dead Mars, Dying Earth (1999) with Monica Rix Paxson.

Destiny: Carole Nervig, The Petroglyphs of Mu
• Shows how the archetypal symbols of the Pohnpaid petroglyphs have exact counterparts in other ancient cultures throughout the world• Provides evidence that Pohnpaid is closely related to--yet predates--neighboring Nan Madol• Includes hundreds of Pohnpaid petroglyphs and stone circle photos, many never before seenWhile residing on the small Pacific island of Pohnpei in the 1990s, Carole Nervig discovered that a recent brush fire had exposed hundreds of previously unknown petroglyphs carved on gigantic boulders. This portion of the megalithic site called Pohnpaid was unknown even to Pohnpei's state historic preservation officer. The petroglyphs were unlike others from Oceania, so Nervig began investigating and comparing them with petroglyphs and symbols from around the world.In this fully illustrated exploration, Nervig documents her discoveries on Pohnpei, revealing how the archetypal symbols of the Pohnpaid petroglyphs have exact counterparts in other ancient cultures and universal motifs throughout the world, including the Australian Aborigines, the Inca in Peru, the Vedic civilization of India, early Norse runes, and Japanese symbols. She provides evidence that Pohnpaid is closely related to--yet predates--neighboring Nan Madol and shows how Pohnpaid was an outpost of the sunken Kahnihmueiso, a city of the now-vanished civilization of Mu, or Lemuria.Discussing the archaeoastronomical function of the Pohnpaid stones, the author examines how many of the glyphs symbolize celestial phenomena and clearly reveal how their creators were sky watchers with a sophisticated understanding of astronomy, geophysics, geomancy, and engineering. She shows how the scientific concepts depicted in the petroglyphs reveal how the citizens of Mu had a much deeper understanding of the living Earth than we do, which gave them the ability to manipulate natural forces both physically and energetically. Combining archaeological evidence with traditional oral accounts, Nervig reveals Pohnpaid not only as a part of a geodetic network of ancient sacred sites and portals but also as a remnant of the now submerged but once enlightened Motherland of Mu.Carole Nervig has spent more than four decades researching Micronesian traditional culture and oral history as well as the sacred sites of Micronesia and Hawai'i. She first moved to Micronesia as a Peace Corps volunteer in 1969. In the 1990s she discovered a previously unknown megalithic portion of the Pohnpaid petroglyph site on the Micronesian island of Pohnpei. Creator of the Nan Madol Foundation, she now lives in Ecuador.

SPECIAL EDITION: The Archives, Rand Flem-Ath, In Search of Atlantis
Scientific and mythological evidence that Antarctica was once Atlantis• Reveals how the earth's crust shifted in 9600 BCE, dragging Atlantis into the polar zone beneath miles of Antarctic ice• Examines ancient yet highly accurate maps, including the Piri Reis map of 1513, which reveals a pre-glacial Antarctica• Shows how myths of floods and disaster from around the world all point to a common sourceIn this completely revised and expanded edition of When the Sky Fell, Rand and Rose Flem-Ath show that 12,000 years ago vast areas of Antarctica were free from ice and home to the kingdom of Atlantis, a proposition that also elegantly solves the mysteries of ice ages and mass extinctions, the simultaneous worldwide rise of agriculture, and the source of devastating prehistoric climate change. Expanding upon Charles Hapgood's theory of earth crust displacement, which was championed by Albert Einstein, they examine ancient yet highly accurate world maps, including the Piri Reis map of 1513, and show how the earth's crust shifted in 9600 BCE, dragging Atlantis into the polar zone where it now lies beneath miles of Antarctic ice. From the Cherokee, Haida, and Okanagan of North America to the earliest records of Egypt, Iran, Mexico, and Japan, they reveal that ancient myths of floods, lost island paradises, and visits from advanced godlike peoples from all corners of the globe all point to the same worldwide catastrophe that resulted in Atlantis's demise. The authors explain how the remaining Atlanteans, amid massive earthquakes and epic floods, evacuated and spread throughout the world, resulting in the birth of the first known civilizations.Including rare material from the archives of Charles Hapgood, Albert Einstein, and Dwight D. Eisenhower, the Flem-Aths explain how an earth crust displacement could happen again in the future, perhaps in correspondence with high solar activity. With new scientific, genetic, and linguistic evidence in support of Antarctica as the location of long-lost Atlantis, this updated edition convincingly shows that Atlantis was not swallowed by the sea but was entombed beneath miles of polar ice.

Mario Buildreps: 100,000 Years of Man Unknown History
The author, with a pen-name of Mario Buildreps. I am a successful former businessperson and a graduate engineer. Engineers are specifically good at finding solutions for complex problems. Also, and that is maybe even more important, engineers are not handicapped with all sorts of limited ideas and paradigms that archaeologists and geologists are hindered with.My engineering and mathematical skills were essential for my discoveries regarding our ancient history. I discovered that the orientation of foundations of ancient structures around the world follow a pattern, an overwhelming mathematical pattern, one that has become the subject matter of this website.From my youth, I have always been very interested in ancient humans, megalithic structures, ancient temples, and pyramids. As a child I was always wondering why ancient Homo sapiens, who had the same brains and hands as we, wandered around empty plains for hundreds of thousands of years. They were effectively doing nothing with their creative brains and hands, building nothing, leaving no traces, other than split stones and some primitive tools. I discovered that this ideas of primitive humans in the ancient past, that has been imposed on us for centuries, is not true. I am supported by a dedicated and highly skilled team of alphas and betas. The alpha with the initials J.B. from Canada is our editor. J.M. from Australia was responsible for verification of the locations of the mathematical proven poles. A.S. is one of our researchers who is rigging up a massive verification project based on a self programmed GIS environment worldwide.Recently, it appears that most of the orientational grids in countries around the world are based on much older grids. These grids appear to point to the same ancient geographic poles. Two other members of the team are also skilled scientists and currently more or less sleeping members. They have supported me with tracking down reliable maps of the Nuraghes and gave ideas which topics to research in the future.Together are we a team of independent researchers that have deeply penetrated into the unbelievable truth behind Lost Civilizations. Because the research is holistic and mathematical it inevitably covers several scientific disciplines. There are no shareholders involved, nor has this anything to do with ego issues. Our team is growing with enthusiastic highly skilled and motivated researchers and editors. Our research is expanding rapidly while amazing many mainstream scientists with our simple, mathematics-based research.Our recent discoveries, done entirely outside the conventional scientific community, reveal astounding insights into the reasons for geographic polar movements and their undeniable close association with ancient cultures.Our ancient history, including a vast amount of ancient structures, goes back literally hundreds of thousands of years. That is not just an idle statement because a large amount of data and mathematical certainties support it. It appears that the dating work that was done by archaeologists, scholars, and historians over many decades has revealed next to nothing about the REAL antiquity of human history.https://www.mariobuildreps.com/

Abstract The goal of the robot path planning problem is to determine an optimal collision-free path for a mobile robot between a start and a target point in an environment surrounded by obstacles. Optimal collision-free trajectory planning for mobile robot is always a major issue in robotics due to the necessity for the robots' course of movement. In recent years, as the emergence of another member of the swarm intelligence family bacterial foraging optimization (BFO), the bacterial foraging strategy has attracted a great deal of interests. In this work, the path planning problem is approached by the mobile robot that mimics the foraging strategy of BFO algorithm. The objective is to minimize the path length and the number of turns without colliding with an obstacle. In the simulation studies, two test scenarios of static environment with different obstacle distribution are adopted to evaluate the performance of the proposed method. Simulation results show that our method is able to generate a collision-free path in complex environment.

Corona doesn't whittle
By Matt Szabo
CORONA DEL MAR — The Corona del Mar High girls' water polo team was a young team with a first-year coach and a 1-3 record entering the Holiday Cup.
None of these three facts worry Coach San Bailey and the Sea Kings.
They know they're among the elite teams in Division I. On Thursday afternoon, they turned to an old CdM standby — the counterattack — to defeat Santa Margarita, 13-3, in a quarterfinal of the Holiday Cup at CdM.
CdM (3-3) advances to the semifinals, where the Sea Kings will play Laguna Beach at 11:45 a.m. today at Newport Harbor High. Top-seeded defending champion Dos Pueblos plays Foothill in the first semifinal preceding the Sea Kings and Breakers.
The final is scheduled for 4:05 p.m., also at Newport Harbor.
The Sea Kings' relative youth doesn't matter too much when Ally McCormick can counter all day. The lefty and fellow sophomore Cassidy Papa each scored four goals in the quarterfinal win over Santa Margarita, and half of the eight goals were on the counterattack. Most of those came off long, precision passes from CdM junior goalie Alex Musselman (11 saves).
"It's great," McCormick said. "That's definitely one of the things that sets us apart, because not many goalies can throw it three-quarters of the way down the pool. We condition a lot — we're a fast team — and that can make or break the game."
As CdM parents watched the action, they also watched a large sheet covering the CdM boys' aquatics logo on the wall above the scorers' table. They wanted to make sure the sheet didn't blow up on the windy day, revealing graffiti underneath it.
The tagging, which is two explicit phrases, was discovered as the Holiday Cup began Thursday morning. It's unknown when it occurred or who is responsible.
One parent was upset, as she said the painted-on logos cost $1,500 when the pool was renovated.
In the pool, the No. 2-seeded Sea Kings played well. Santa Margarita (3-3) scored the first goal of the game on a power-play strike by freshman Haley Wan, but the Sea Kings had a 3-1 lead by the end of the first quarter as Papa, McCormick and junior Pippa Saunders (penalty shot) all found the back of the net.
By halftime, it was 7-2. Saunders and senior Devon Greenlee each scored twice for the Sea Kings, and junior Diana Murphy added a goal from set.
Former CdM Coach Aaron Chaney is in town and he watched the action on the far sideline. Bailey said Chaney, who stepped down after nine years to move back to Hawaii, remains a big influence on this year's Sea Kings.
"The girls have been working really hard in general, straight across the board," Bailey said. "That's definitely been one of the things that's impressed me. Coach Chaney really helped the girls understand the type of work ethic that it took to be successful. It's a culture that's now a part of this program, and the girls definitely take pride in that."
CdM beat Rosary, 13-9, in its first-round game Thursday morning behind four goals from McCormick and three from Victoria Pierotti.
If the seedings hold up, it will be Dos Pueblos against CdM in this afternoon's final. The Chargers, the defending Division I champions, defeated CdM earlier this year. They've won 44 straight matches dating back to a loss to CdM in February, 2009.

De La Hoya thinks Canelo-Khan will do 1 million PPV buys
February 3rd, 2016 - 98 Comments
By Dan Ambrose: The ticket prices for the May 7 fight between WBC middleweight champion Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (46-1-1, 32 KOs) and Amir Khan (31-3, 19 KOs) are still not know at this time because the venue hasn't been locked down 100 percent as of yet for the contest.
The fight is expected to take place at the T-Mobile Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. Canelo's promoter Oscar De La Hoya of Golden Boy Promotions is expecting the Canelo vs. Khan fight to bring in better pay-per-view numbers on HBO than the 900,000 buys Canelo's last fight against Miguel Cotto brought in last November.
De La Hoya believes the Canelo-Khan fight can bring in over 1 million buys. I think there's a good chance that the Canelo-Khan fight could bring in over 1 million PPV buys. I don't recall the interest being this high when the Canelo vs. Miguel Cotto fight was announced last year. There was some interest, to be sure, but nothing like this. It's hard to understand though, because Cotto had done much more in his pro career than Khan.
I believe that Cotto is a better fighter than Khan, and would likely KO him the same way Cotto stopped Sergio Martinez, but I think it would be even easier than that. The interest in the Canelo-Khan fight suggests that Khan is a lot more popular than many boxing fans thought, and that would include Top Rank, Manny Pacquiao Floyd Mayweather Jr., and the satellite and cable distributors that supposedly rejected Khan as Pacquiao's opponent for April 9.
NEWS: Canelo Alvarez vs. Dmitry Bivol = Eddie Hearn's best fight of 2022
If Canelo vs. Khan does much better numbers than the third fight between Pacquiao and Tim Bradley, then you'll know that Pacquiao's 84-year-old promoter Bob Arum made a huge blunder by selecting Bradley for Pacquiao's April 9 fight instead of Khan. It seems pretty obvious right now that Arum blew it. The interest in the Canelo vs. Khan fight is league's better than the interest in the Pacquiao-Bradley 3 fight in my view. 1 million buys or better for Canelo-Khan would definitely establish that Canelo is the No.1 pay-per-view attraction now that Mayweather Jr. has retired and left the sport. Pacquiao doesn't seem to be capable of bringing in the big numbers anymore unless he's matched against Mayweather and Juan Manuel Marquez, and he's finished now that he's heading into his last fight of his career on April 9.
"It is a mega-event that nobody expected and it took the world by surprise and this fight is making news all over the world, and will be more than Cotto-Canelo [one million]," De La Hoya said to ESPN Deportes. "That's our big hope, and that indicates Canelo is a superstar. It is my duty as a promoter to present the public with the biggest fights. I thought Amir Khan was the perfect fight."
NEWS: Dmitry Bivol to fight in late April or early May, undecided on Canelo rematch at 168
Hopefully the tickets won't be sky high in price. It would be a mistake for Golden Boy Promotions to jack up the ticket prices to out of this world rates like we saw with the Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao fight last year in May. This was just ridiculous, and I believe Mayweather and Pacquiao burned bridges with that overpriced fight.
For those asking, #CaneloKhan ticket prices are not announced yet as the venue is not 100% set yet. #boxing

Thanksgiving and Black Friday - so close together, yet so diametrically opposed.
Today, people across the country are diving into the wild waves of holiday shopping. But what if instead of hitting the mall at midnight, we took this day off to reflect on the intangible gifts of yesterday's feast while the experience is still fresh. What did you give? What did you receive? How did being with family and friends, taking time to relax, and sitting down for a proper meal feed you in a way that store-bought gifts simply can't?
If you're looking for a moment of calm today amidst the hustle and bustle, we urge you to experience one of Agapi Stassinopoulos' incredible guided meditations. In a series called "Wake Up to the Joy of You," Stassinopoulos guides you through fifty-two weeks of letting go of what doesn't work for you and finding what does. Through consistent meditations, you'll cultivate the building blocks of self-care, such as meditation, health, and taking time for yourself.
Today, let's start with an essential: Art of Meditation.

When it comes to reservations, hoteliers could learn from cruise operators. For decades, the hotel industry has thought of a reservation as a single transaction, a point-in-time purchase by a traveler through a channel. But the cruise industry has always thought of a reservation as an itinerary. The booking scope includes pre- and post-cruise flights and accommodations, a cabin, onboard amenities like spa treatments and dinner reservations, and excursions, like snorkeling, at each port of call.
Winning the battle for the retail consumer requires the hotel industry to broaden the scope of a reservation and think of it more as a process that follows the customer throughout the pre-travel and travel experience. Ancillary revenue could be a critical profit lever for hotel companies. By making such bookings easier and more attractive to customers, hoteliers could boost profits and offer a booking experience that is differentiated from online travel agents.

[Games] Diablo III (PS3)
Back in the day, I got to try out the PlayStation port of the original Diablo. It was a weird and painful experience given how tricky it was to manage your skills and combat in general just with your controller. And while the 2-player cooperative mode was nice, it wasn't exactly a version of the game that went down in history or anything like that.
So when a PS3 port for Diablo III hit shelves, I was initially skeptical about the experience. But then again, Tobie and I lack computers that can handle the PC version of the game, so getting a PS3 disc seemed like a much cheaper alternative so we could play the game.
And the end result was...actually rather brilliant. And given how Tobie and I tend to favor local cooperative play games, this stands out as a pretty good addition to the collection. More than a good local co-op adventure, the game is a pretty good adaptation of the PC version as well. And that's a pretty impressive feat as well.
The console version of Diablo III was made available for the PS3 and the Xbox360. It has also been announced for the PS4. It remains to be the same action adventure hack and slash game.
Picking up 20 years after the events of Diablo II, you get to be one of 5 different character classes exploring the world of Sanctuary. Just like the PC version, you can to choose among the Witch Doctor, the Barbarian, the Wizard, the Monk, and the Demon Hunter. Similar to the PC version of the game, you can also determine the sex of your character whether male or female regardless of character class. The changes are largely cosmetic and have little effect on the game's story.
The game adapts the PC version's skill system by mapping the different skills to different controller buttons.There's a bit of a learning curve to figure out which button triggers which skill but over time it becomes pretty intuitive to battle across the stages. Initially your are locked in terms of which skills can be assigned to each button but you can also select the option for free-assignment if you already feel more comfortable with your skill options.
For local cooperative play, you will need to utilize other user accounts on the same device to save your character data. You can also enable network play to add some online players to aid you in your quest for a maximum of four players on-screen.
There are comments about how the video quality isn't quite up to par to the PC version, but I feel that the differences are minimal given all that they still managed to achieve. We experienced no slow down when fighting larger hordes and utilizing different skills all at the same time. So if there were trade-offs for video, it was to good effect in terms of ensuring the game still runs smoothly.
Since you share a single screen during local cooperative play, this also means that you'll be competing for loot drops and such. The PC version made sure to have each player gather his own gold given multiple instances of the game, so naturally there was no way to implement that on the same console. This isn't a bad thing for as long as you and your local cooperative player are on friendly enough terms.
The story as a whole was retained for the console version and a lot of side quests were added throughout the stages. There were also minor tweaks made to the game such as the introduction of Nephalim Glory charges that trigger when you cause a significant amount of damage in a short period of time. The buff appears as globes similar to health gloves that given players increased speed and damage while the buff lasts. It stacks to a limited degree if you continue to collect globes.
On the whole, Diablo III for the PS3 is a great port and a great local cooperative play game. Many of you many not care about that feature all that much, but it's definitely an impressive game feature in my book. Thus the PS3 port rates a solid 5 hordes of enemy monsters out of a possible 5.

Sheriff Hood grateful for Griffo's help with…
Sheriff Hood grateful for Griffo's help with law enforcement
By Carly Stone cstone@medianewsgroup.com @CarlyStone_ODD on Twitter,
NYS Sen. Joseph Griffo speaks at a news conference in January 2021 about bail reform. (FILE PHOTO)
By Roger Seibert | rseibert@oneidadispatch.com |
WAMPSVILLE, N. Y. — Madison County Sheriff Todd Hood is grateful for efforts by New York State Senator Joseph Griffo to help aid law enforcement. Those efforts include additional funding for prisoner treatment and further discussions on bail reform, areas Hood feels are crucial to effective and fair law enforcement in the county and statewide.
In a recent letter, Griffo, R-C-Rome, urged Gov. Kathy Hochul to consider a new initiative that he has proposed that would provide additional resources to law enforcement agencies and enhance public safety in New York.
The initiative would provide a $100 million allocation, $80 million for additional police officers and $20 million for equipment, to law enforcement agencies each year for the next three years.
"Like so many others, I remain concerned with the increase in crime in New York State. It is imperative that we seek out ways to enhance public safety for New Yorkers," Griffo said. "It is my belief that this three-year commitment will have a limited financial impact on the state and will ensure that law enforcement agencies have the resources that they need to address public safety concerns."
Griffo also urged further discussions on what many feel are flawed bail reform laws.
New York passed the sweeping bail reform law in 2019, prohibiting cash bail except for serious misdemeanors and felonies. The desired effect was to reduce the number of people in jail awaiting trial because they could not afford to post bail.
State judges are no longer able to set bail for a wide-ranging list of misdemeanors and nonviolent felonies. They can not hold defendants based on their perceived threat, and may only use minimal means to ensure defendants return to court.
On Sept. 22 the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services released data showing an increase of re-arrest, among those arrested and released without having to pay bail, had nearly tripled from 2019 through 2021.
"I think it's great," Hood said. "Anything to improve the situation will be a help. Anything to allow officers to take people into custody when needed, to keep people safe. whatever they can do. We all wanted it fast but it didn't happen. It's been a few years obviously not working, talk to any cop in this state. Griffo's help is greatly appreciated."
"We need to review that legislation to keep people safe," Hood continued. "Sometimes people simply have to go to jail. They need time to calm down, to stop being a threat to themselves or others. They need help."
Hood said the funding could help with prisoner treatment and also officer recruitment.
"Prisoners will get on meds like anti-psychotics that cost between three- and five thousand dollars per dose. That's per a monthly dose," Hood said. "This funding is imperative. Our re-entry program is robust for them. Sometimes they have no insurance and so can not afford shots to get them off of opioids and return to normalcy. They simply go right back into the life because they have no money and they have nowhere to go to get help."
The money would help local recruitment. In Madison County is short of 13 corrections officers whom would ideally man the jail. In November the county launched an online application process and has approved a 15 percent wage increase to attract more recruits.
"It's still a bit slow but it's better than before," Hood said. "We won't solve the problem all at once but there is light at the end of the tunnel. We've been recruiting online and talking to more candidates quicker. Every year we lose officers to agencies like the state police. It's like the corporate world, where people leave a job for another. The problem can be with replacing those officers we've lost. That's a lot of money to throw at a problem, but you would think it would help with recruitment at some point."
The county department includes 56 corrections officers and 50 deputies on road patrol.
Griffo also announced that he would be participating in a ride-along with the New York State Police in Herkimer County to have a first-hand account and experience of what law enforcement faces on a regular basis in our communities. The senator also plans to join the Madison County Sheriff's Office and the Rome and Utica police departments for future ride-along.
The ride-along comes after Sen. Griffo convened a meeting of state and local law enforcement representatives and area officials to discuss methods and techniques to address crime concerns and gun violence in communities across the state.
"Throughout my time in office, I have gone on ride-alongs with law enforcement agencies," Sen. Griffo said. "These have always provided me with an important opportunity to see what the men and women in law enforcement encounter and deal with on a daily basis"
Hood said Griffo's ride-alongs show his support of police efforts.
"I'm very pleased," he said. "Very few people in leadership have ever been on a ride-along. It's a snapshot to help them understand how difficult the job can be. Griffo is doing a great job. I support him one hundred percent. He knows what police are going through and he supports law enforcement."
Sen. Griffo expressed his appreciation to Madison County Sheriff Todd Hood, Rome Mayor Jacqueline Izzo, Rome Police Chief David Collins, Utica Mayor Robert Palmieri, Utica Police Chief Mark Williams and Capt. Jason Place and the New York State Police for their cooperation and assistance in facilitating this initiative.
