Mexico: A Solar Halo in Mexico...with UFOs?
Mexico: A Solar Halo in Mexico...with UFOs? May 21, 2015
Contributing editor Ana Luisa Cid has sent us a link to her latest video on YouTube, a collaboration with Captain Antonio Herce, an airline pilot. The sequence of photos is followed by a video of the solar halo by Rodney Steve, a Swedish singer-songwriter currently residing in Mexico. A group of spheres - gyrating like a merry-go-round can be seen in this cellphone video. The objects subsequently take off at high speed.

In the Shadow of the Shapeshifters
By Scott Corrales © 2015
"Myths are, in fact...neither primitive nor untrue," writes the Rev. Stephen Furrer. "They are, rather, a kind of poetry that helps us make sense of the world and our place in it." A charming thought if we are dealing with the myths that give us undines and fairies, sylphs and other creatures of a benign or positive disposition. Most of our myths, however, are cast in a different mold: giant hairy creatures, sea and lake serpents, and more disturbing: humans who become monsters, whether as the result of a curse, as was often seen in Greek legends, or warriors of the Norse tradition turning into bears and other powerful creatures.
The oldest and most popular of these transformations is without a doubt lycanthropy, the state in which a human turns into a wolf by art or chance. Entire library shelves can be filled with testimonies, means of execution, and remedies for such a condition, as well as endless means by which to identify a human under such an animal guise. While generally assumed to be a Nordic tradition, lycanthropy was greatly feared among the Romans and their Mediterranean neighbors, who dubbed such individuals versipellis--literally, "skin-changers"--out of the belief that they wore their hairy wolf skins on the inside of the body, changing themselves inside out to go on their nocturnal forays. Titus Petronius Arbiter, author of the Satyricon, mentions in this book a character who turns into a wolf as soon as he removes his clothing. As in all shapeshifting legends, the character receives a knife wound while in wolf-shape, that translates into a similar wound upon his body when reverting to human form. The very term "lycanthropy" can be traced to the Greek cult of Zeus Lycaeus, whose worshippers wore wolf-masks during their rituals.
While European cultures lived in fear of these amazing transformations, the Eastern cultures were equally frightened by metamorphoses into other animal shapes. Werefoxes and werevixens play a prominent role in Chinese and Japanese legends with the common motif of a fox taking on the guise of a human female in order to marry a human. Upon her death, all that remains is the carcass of a fox. India is rife with tales of raksashas and tiger-men, just as Africa teems with were-leopards, were-hyenas and other man-beasts.
On the other side of the world, at the bottom of the Americas, the Selk'nam culture of Tierra del Fuego had a very elaborate form of magical thought. Tribal sorcerers were responsible for an initiation ceremony that included men dressed in costumes resembling the Shoort – underworld entities able of appearing in their midst as animals. Researchers who were able to witness the "hain", name given to this sacred tradition, also noted that participants assumed clearly animal behavior, to the extent that "it becomes difficult to recognize a shred of humanity in them." So deep was this possession or identification with the channeled animal force that the human could remain in this state for an unspecified period of time.
Northern Argentina also had its share of these beliefs. The Jaguar Lords of the valley of Ambato in Catamarca dominated their region for several centuries, following a belief centered on Uturunco, the great jaguar, a manifestation of the sun-god Punchao. Consumption of hallucinogens enabled them to achieve heightened states of awareness that enabled communion with the divine feline. Centuries later, is not uncommon to find rural beliefs in this part of the country which hold that witch doctors can readily assume the form of a power animal. An unexpected howl in the night might lead some to whisper among themselves: "salió de perro" – he went out as a dog – and the veracity of such a metamorphosis is unquestioned.
Argentinean researcher Christian Quintero had the following to say to me in an exchange of letters: "We shouldn't make the mistake of thinking that these beliefs represent some sort of cultural backwardness, as our parameters cannot be used to measure their social reality. A few years ago – in the early 1990 – a sociologist from the University of Berlin decided to conduct a study on the life of the mariscadores of Iberá in the province of Corrientes. For this purpose, she spent a number of months with one of these families in the middle of the coastal wetlands. This woman, extremely learned and with considerable scientific background, claimed having witnessed a man transforming into a "lobizón". Despite the mockery of her colleagues, she never retracted her statement. The question, however, is whether this woman actually see the transformation, or was she influenced by the savage and mysterious landscape to the point where her perception of reality was altered? Or should we perhaps consider the possibility that the proper environment can generate the necessary conditions to bring about an alternate reality, which is otherwise inaccessible to us?"
Algonquin legend traces this uncanny skill to the days "when animals and men were one"; the Inuit of the Arctic Circle retell the legend of the bachelor who returned to his hut only to find a woman tending the fire, and marrying her, only to learn that she is a shapeshifter; one of Mexico's most powerful legends from pre-Conquest times, that of La Llorona, "The Weeping One", a spectral figure that emits banshee-like wails in the night, is held to have been a woman endowed with the power of nagualismo who devoured her two children while in a bestial state, doomed to mourn her loss forever.
The study of shapeshifting has been relegated to anthropologists and sociologists, who explain the phenomenon away as memories of tribal totemic rituals, archetypal fears, the use of hallucinogens in cultic activity, and autosuggestion. These explanations, while convincing and, in some cases, even satisfying, do not take into account cases which have occurred in recent history.
Egyptian author Rollo Ahmed, whose The Black Art was among the very first modern books on the subject of black magic, mentions that his wife, during a visit to German village in her childhood, was warned by local girls about a young washerwoman who was suspected of being a werewolf. When bringing laundry back to the house, the washerwoman tried to ingratiate herself with the children, who were repelled by "her glassy eyes, cruel mouth, and abnormally long fingernails, in spite of her profession."
The author adds that the community appeared to shun her instinctively. In 1930, a farmer from the French village of Bourg-la-Reine, known as a sorcerer to his frightened neighbors, was widely accused of taking on the shape of a wolf at night. After his death, a search of his farmhouse revealed all the paraphernalia associated with black magic. In the mid-1940's a Navaho Indian reservation was alarmed by rumors of a werewolf attacking herds of sheep, despoiling graves, and killing and eating women.
Also in the 1940's, a woman in Havana, Cuba who suspected her husband of marital infidelity on account of his secretive behavior followed him in secret to a desolate point far beyond the city limits. To her surprise and horror, the man took a running leap forward and changed into a four-legged, panther-like creature before disappearing into the tall tropical grasses. She later discovered that her husband was a high priest in a secret magic sect.
Haiti's secret black magic societies allegedly carry shapeshifting one step further by having the ability to change their hapless victims into animals, preferably beasts on the way to the slaughterhouse. It is often said among the operators of these places that many human beings have been slain under such conditions. A slaughterhouse in the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince allegedly took precautions by administering injections to all cattle. Allegedly, one such "changed" beast cried out: "Now I am here, I remember my children!"
Can it be that shapeshifters are not human at all, but rather another form of intelligent life capable of imitating not only humans, but animals as well? This theory of "mimics", proposed by renowned UFO and Fortean researcher John A. Keel, postulated that just as there are creatures in nature that mimic other species of animals, there may be creatures that mimic human life. This theory could be extended to account for bizarre sightings in which the witness or witnesses are uncertain if what they have seen is an animal or a human being.
Maryland-based researcher Mark Opsasnick has collected a number of such sightings which span the history of that state from the 1900's onward. The bulk of these sightings center around "half man/half..." creatures, whose other half has been described as feline, ape-like, goat-like, and in some cases utterly beyond description. Could these be considered cases of "imperfect" shapeshifting? More to the point, could the ease of travel exhibited by big hairy monsters and other creatures, who move unnoticed through the highly populated areas in which sightings often occur, be a result of their shapeshifting into an unremarkable form, human or otherwise? Author Brad Steiger points out a case in which a shocked witness looked out of his patio door to see an enormous vulpine figure drinking out of his swimming pool, with the remains of a pair of pants around one of its legs. Items of clothing were reported by witnesses in three distinct cases from different parts of the country involving Bigfoot-like creatures: checkered jackets and frayed trousers, many sizes too small for the dimensions of the beings involved. Are we dealing with humans who, like TV's The Incredible Hulk, are caught in mid-metamorphosis with shirts and pants that won't stretch? This jocose notion aside, it must be observed that Bigfoot and his kin are not the only ones who have been spotted in human haberdashery. In 1972, a Californian hiking around mysterious Mt. Shasta claimed to have seen a "reptile man" wearing a shirt and trousers making its way up the slopes.
Another interesting possibility arises in this discussion: could the animal shapes reported as naguales, skinwalkers or other metamorphs be "tulpas" - images created by a concentration of thought, having limited volition but enough to be sent on tasks by its creator? Alexandra David Neel, the indefatigable 19th century traveler, made western audiences aware of the Tibetan "tulpas" and how Himalayan monks brought them into being. These creations often assume the shape of their creators, being the easiest image to manifest. More complex creations can even be touched and their movements heard by others.
Neel attempted to create her own "tulpa" and discovered what many adepts have found: once brought into being, they are hard to undo, unless certain "programming elements" - for want of a better word - have been created for the copy's reabsorption into the original.
A South American mystic created a fierce, gigantic dog-tulpa to help him with his duties on a remote farm. The creature was terrible to any intruder, but loyal to its creator, and would appear from sundown to sunrise. The imaginary hound had other plans: it denied the farm's foreman access to the site, and the tulpa's creator had to send it away to a barn, where the imaginary hound chased flesh-and-blood dogs away in terror. Soon it began to disobey, trapping farm workers in their barracks, its glistening fangs leaving no doubt as to its intentions. The mystic decided to undo his creations before returning to Brazil, but was in for a further, more physical shock: he had not taken into consideration the amount of energy he would be reabsorbing into his body, and the shock was akin to a blast of electricity. While he emerged otherwise unscathed, he admitted to experiencing slight convulsions for many days after the event.
A story appeared in the November 2, 2013 edition of Mexico's El Universal de Veracruz suggesting that popular belief in naguales remains as strong as ever. Don Gilberto (no surname given), a grave digger at the Panteón Jardín Cemetery in Veracruz, had a chilling experience while performing maintenance chores at a plot known as "the accursed tomb", where he allegedly saw a nagual. A large yellow cat, he said, appeared a few feet away from the tomb, making strange noises and glaring at him with glowing eyes. Fearful of an attack, the laborer tried to chase it away, pursuing it into the treeline. "When a feline sees you in the wild, it takes off running, but when I saw that thing, I chased it. I was in hot pursuit when it disappeared before my eyes."
Odds are the four-legged visitor to the Panteón Jardín was a wise old feral cat, but Gilberto and his co-workers were adamant. "It was a strong animal. My friend believes it wasn't a cat, but a nagual."

Spain: The Springtime Siege of Malaga (1974)
Source: Planeta UFO
On March 29, 1974, SUR offered a worldwide exclusive when it photographed a fleet of UFOS for the first time ever. The photographs were disseminated worldwide and television networks from many countries headed for Malaga. Salvador Salas Andrade and Fernando Gonzalez Perez were the ones who secured the snapshots that shook public opinion.
On March 29, 1974, SUR presented a worldwide exclusive that shook public opinion both in Spain and worldwide. A series of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) had been photographed for the first time ever and after a three hour wait in the Ciudad Jardin area of the city by Salvador Salas Andrade and Fernando Gonzalez Perez, reporters for this paper. The news had unprecedented international repercussions as never before in the history of the Malaga press. The SUR newsroom, located at the time in Alameda de Colon, was visited by television crews from such countries as France, Germany, Portugal and Italy, as well as correspondents from U.S. networks and of course, Television Espanola, presenting comprehensive reports and special programs featuring interviews with eyewitnesses to the phenomena that kept citizens of Malaga awake for several nights, as well as this paper's photographers. The impact was also reflected as an exceptional print run of SUR, which ran out only a few hours after it hit the streets, amid unheard-of expectation. News writers who were protagonists of Malaga's contemporary journalistic scene, such as Joaquin Marin and the late Julian Sesmero, very young at the time, were responsible for reporting the story that went around the world. Malaga besieged by UFOS? The question, which may seem humorous today, was an important one in an age where the subject of UFOs and "flying saucers" were a very serious and urgent matter, occupying both television and radio space along with many pages of newsprint. Well-known experts in ufology, as we shall see in this commemorative report, met in Malaga to study what was a unique phenomenon as well as a tremendous journalistic success. Today, 52 years later, many citizens of Malaga recall how the city streets, particularly in the Ciudad Jardin district, were filled by thousands of curiosity seekers night after night, hoping for new sightings and "contact" experiences with "creatures from beyond."
On March 27, 1974, SUR published this information in an article by Joaquin Marin, interviewing residents of Ciudad Jardin who claimed having seen a UFO in the skies over Malaga. The story bore the headline "a UFO over Ciudad Jardin" accompanied by a subtitle presenting an eyewitness statement: "It was like a large shining disk from which another emerged." The body of the article presented the event thus:
"It was around eleven o'clock in the morning. We were at the Ciudad Jardin football pitch, enjoying a match between the Felix Saenz and Gallo Rojo teams. I suddenly saw an object in the sky, near the horizon. At first I paid it no importance and kept watching the game. A few minutes later, I looked again and that "thing" remained there, shining, like a disk, and with a sort of smoke around it. All of a sudden, another smaller disk broke away from it, approximately ten per cent smaller. I told Jose Garcia Olea about it. He was also able to see it, as did Jose Luis Moreno and Antonio Martin.
I'm speaking with Don Juan Manuel Rey Bautista, and this has taken some effort, as he was unwilling to discuss the subject, at first, and much less be photographed. "You know what it's like...I'm sure of what I saw, as are my companions, whose attention I directed [to the sighting]. But then people start saying this and that."
"Something else I'm sure about," says Jose Garcia Olea," is that it wasn't a plane or anything like it. I could see it for half a minute, approximately. It vanished after a while, but without moving. That is, it became invisible. it was like a disk, not completely round, with a strong reddish glow, on the horizon, above the hills."
The sighting occurred on Sunday the 17th. The reason that we have not learned of this until today stems from our protagonists' unwillingness to step forward.
Messrs. Rey and Garcia Olea work at department stores in our city's downtown area. They went to watch their store's football team, as they do whenever it plays on a Sunday. "It's a shame that we didn't have the camera we usually have on us to watch part of the game. We could've taken a photo, as it was a very clear day."
I asked Mr. Rey: "Have you told many people about what you saw? What was their reaction?"
"Only what we told our co-workers. Some took it seriously and others in jest, as is always the case. Although the fact that four of us saw it has bolstered our story."
"When you used to hear people talking about UFOs, how did you take it?"
"Truly, I've never taken the subject lightly. It's a subject that interests me and I've read several books about it. ¿What makes us think we're the only ones in the Universe?"
UFOs are a matter of current interest. A subject that causes passion and interest, and of which not much is known as of yet. But every so often, the news arises: someone has seen a UFO. This time it's been in Malaga. Four people have seen it. And their stories agree..."
The next day - Thursday, March 28 - SUR printed a sharp photograph of a strange object shining in the night sky on its front page. 'Alien Beings?' asked a headline which read, in uppercase, 'AN OUTSTANDING DOCUMENT'
The text on the first page read thus:
"Our newsroom received last night, for the second time, news concerning the strange luminous phenomena seen over the skies of Malaga. A totally dark sky, devoid of stars. Due to the insistence of phone calls coming in from the Ciudad Jardin district, our photographer headed out to secure this visual document which we do not hesitate to describe as outstanding. The photo was taken with a Nikon camera and a 25 cm zoom lens, without a tripod and using Tri-X film. The object was fixed in the distance. Notice to unbelievers: the negative is available at our newsroom to anyone wishing to see it, Alameda de Colon 2. The photo was taken by Salas (details on Page 15)."
On Page 15, Julián Sesmero said the following:
"We have already offered our readers an interview with Juan Manuel Rey Bautista and Jose Garcia Otero, the gentlemen who saw a strange object over Ciudad Jardin on Sunday the 17th of this month in the company of other friends. An object which, furthermore, stopped abruptly in space and remained suspended for minutes before moving again. UFOs? the interview was conducted with great restraint, both on the part of our informants as well as the journalistic treatment we gave this information."
SOS: More UFOs
Last night, at ten fourteen, there was a call to our newsroom. It was a very alarmed young woman. She said something along these lines: "Listen, we've been watching a strange flying object in the sky for over 20 minutes. It's very large and bright. It shoots lights and is moving from side to another, very slowly."
We asked where she was.
"I'm with some friends in Ciudad Jardin, near Instituto Sierra Bermeja. This is no joke. There are several of us together and we're all watching the strange object. Antonio Barceló, the reporter from Radio Peninsular, is here with us."
Ten minutes later we were at the greyhound racetrack. Minutes of impatient waiting. We spoke to some kids who hadn't seen or observed anything unusual. We got in the car and went back to Cristo Rey Street. Another stop. Suddenly toward the north east, a very pale, purplish luminous form appeared at a considerable distance. It was like a brief gaseous mass that moved very slowly. We couldn't see it very long because it vanished gradually. We headed back to the greyhound track looking for the darkest area of CIudad Jardin in order to better see the object hidden from our glances. At the time there were many boys watching the skies; several adults in some balconies and windows. The sky was completely dark. The clouds would not allow the least trace of light to come through. We watched the sky for another twenty minutes. Nothing. Fifteen minutes later, we saw a bluish purple light hovering over the hills. It hid itself away, only to reappear. It vanished minutes later. At midnight, after a lengthy wait throughout the area, we returned to the newspaper. Salas took several photos with his zoom lens. A UFO? Whatever it was, we can assure you that we have reported things as we saw them, without any fantasy or contagion from anyone else."
This then, was the information received on Thursday the 28th, before the great news "bombshell", as it was last night when Fernando and Bori took the extraordinary photos. Given the technological hindrances of the time and the slow process of putting the paper together, they were saved like for the Friday, March 29, 1974 edition.
SUR's Great Exclusive
Because that's when the "bombshell" went off, that day, when the first page of SUR was devoted to some exceptional UFO photos that appeared to fly in perfect formation. Beneath two full-page photos, the headlines read: A WORLD EXCLUSIVE - PHOTOS OF UFO FORMATION with the following lead:
"The visual material published by SUR yesterday, which is being confirmed by many people in our city, has caused an exceptional reaction throughout Spain. There were calls to our newsroom the entire day. More information was requested on the subject from all parts of the country. Other national papers wanted photos of the UFO at all costs, and even foreign publications were interesting in securing them. Television Espanola has also shown its interest and has reported on this genuine worldwide exclusive. Yesterday, we presented photographs that showed a UFO perfectly. The time at which they were taken - around midnight - kept us from seeing the importance of the negative immediately, as we wanted to bring the photo to our readers as soon as possible at a time when the printing plates must be created as soon as possible. But yesterday morning, with more time, it was possible to see something completely unusual and extraordinary in the negatives: the union or separation - we are not sure which - of two new UFOs, as shown in the photographs. The upper one shows the distance at which the two smaller objects were from the larger one. The next four photos show close-ups of each phenomenon. The SUR newspaper validates all that has been set forth and unhesitatingly declares that no trickery has been involved. The negatives remain at the disposal of the most demanding analyst, if challenged to present them. Above all, SUR respects its readers. Seriousness has been our foremost characteristic, and our newspaper has never needed hoaxed photographs or sensationalist stories to boost its sales." This was the lead that accompanied two truly startling photos, appearing on the front page. Information on the event began on SUR's front page, reading thus:
"The can be no doubt that the visual information that appeared yesterday in our paper must be qualified in such a way, and today it acquires a sensational level. New strange objects are visible in the photo negative obtained by Salas. They resemble small disks, located at the side of the oval-shaped one, which we published in two different photos in our preceding number, at an unspecified distance. What does this suggest? Are they indeed flying saucers? Of course, the notion that the object presented yesterday is a weather balloon must be discarded due to the appearance of these two disks which constitute, apparently, a small fleet of UFOS. It is therefore not possible for the object photographed by Salas to be a weather balloon or anything similar, unless such object, launched frequently by weather stations, are in the habit of having offspring."

Mexico: Maussán's Alleged "Alien Truth" is Refuted
Source: Planeta UFO & Vanguardia.com.mx
MEXICO – Less than a week after having gathered seven thousand followers at the National Auditorium, a renowned British physician has refuted Jaime Maussán, ascertaining the provenance of one of his main items of evidence adduced during the event: the "alien" photograph was pure theater.
The host of the Tercer Milenio television show affirmed that the corpse corresponded to one of the alleged aliens that crashed in Roswell, U.S.A. in 1947.
Pure Theater
British daily The Mirror published an article refuting the UFO researcher, stating that the image presented on May 5th was the photograph of a mummified native child from the southwestern United States. The fact had been classified by leading researchers as a "smoking gun" regarding the fact that "aliens" had reached Earth.
Tony Braglia, one of the "leading researchers" who analyzed the body, admitted that "a serious error of identification" had occurred, and apologized to the Native American community: "I must offer my sincere and deep apologies to the Native American Community of the Southwestern United Statas. One of their children, a child who died a century ago, was turned into a spectacle. Whoever he was, he deserved great respect and dignity," he remarked.
He added that a series of "extraordinary coincidences" were involved in this case.
According to The Mirror, Maussán said the affair is "far from over". When asked whether the "alien" was a dead child, he replied: "This may be true. But there are too many anomalies pointing toward the unlikely chance of its being human."
Jaime Maussán, UFO researcher and journalist, was accompanied by U.S. and Canadian experts on the subject.
At 7:30 p.m. on the dot, attendees listened to the conversation directed by Maussán, who summoned each of his guests one by one to substantiate his cosmic spectacle, called Be Witness: The Change of History. Accompanied by experts James J. Hurtak, Paul T. Hellyer, Thomas J. Carey, Donald R. Schmitt, Edgar Mitchell and doctors José de Jesús Zalce Benítez, Luis Antonio De Alba and Richard Dolan, they gradually wove the elements of the extraterrestrial phenomenon since 1945 and their connection to the Roswell incident in the New Mexico desert, where a crashed UFO was discovered.
"This will be a historic night, awaited by so many of us, and we have the evidence to influence popular opinion regarding the extraterrestrial phenomenon. There are thousands and millions of galaxies, and we continue to believe that we are the only ones and the most intelligent, but this is not so," said the host.
The researcher of this phenomenon said the key to the paradigm shift is found in two slides, showing two extraterrestrials.
And no one does anything…
"They are proof of extraordinary life, and the dream of flying among the stars will soon be achieved. We are not holding this meeting for money or fame, but to share knowledge for the betterment of mankind," he remarked.
Jaime Maussán's studies and statements, presented last Tuesday night, in regard to the evidence of two slides showing extraterrestrial images were backed by the invited experts. Up to now, no one was demanded to have their money refunded.

Argentina: Residents of Bahía Blanca and Córdoba Witnessed UFOs in Flight
Source: Planeta UFO and www.lmneuquen.com.ar
The unidentified flying objects were recorded by two men last Sunday and Monday. The videos can be seen on Youtube.
With barely 24 hours difference between them, but separated by a distance of over 800 kilometers, residents of the cities of Córdoba and Bahía Blanca claimed haing seen and recorded unidentified flying objects, better known as UFOs.
In both cases, the recordings, which were made between last Sunday and Monday, show luminous objects moving in an atypical manner.
The objects - which have a neighbor's banana tree as a point of reference and the restless barking of Teddy the dog in the background, were taken in the Puerredón district by Jorge David Lazarte, who uploaded the recording to YouTube. The video shows a shining object that appears to split into three spheres, subsequently vanishing in seconds of what could be an explosion. The other video, also uploaded to YouTube, was taken by Alejandro Suárez from Bahía Blanca during the afternoon-evening of last Monday. Ti is a brilliant object that appears in the skies of this major city in Buenos Aires, from south to west.
According to UFO researcher Luis Burgos, the object "has the typical movement of a UFO" in statements made to the La Brujula 24 website.

Chile: UFO Expert Explains Strange Events Following Natural Disasters
Source: Publimetro.com and Planeta UFO
There is a government agency in Chile in which Air Force officers play a role, exclusively devoted to verifying and stating whether certain strange phenomena recorded in the skies are unidentified flying objects (UFOs) or not. It is called CEFAA (Comité de Estudios de Fenómenos Aéreos Anómalos). An advisor to this organization, Major Rodrigo Bravo, granted an exclusive to Publimetro to dispel some doubts regarding the situation that occurred during the eruption of the Calbuco Volcano, where people saw a luminous object that supposedly could not be explained.
"We must part from a very simple assumption: whenever natural phenomena occur, people see an anomalous situation in the sky, lights or a star moving oddly, and it is immediately associated with UFOS," states Major Bravo. "In fact, when this occurs, we can speak of UFOs, as strictly speaking the definition of this acronym is Unidentified Flying Object. However, in these times the word has become so devalued that whenever we speak of a UFO, people associate it with some kind of extraterrestrial life."
In this regard, the major says that this notion is error and "has brought great harm to the term." In fact, he says that when an object cannot be identified and is declared to be a UFO, this does not imply that "we are speaking about some sort of intelligent life from beyond our planet. All we are saying is that it is an object that cannot be identified. That is all."
The specialist adds: "There are many people who say extraterrestrial beings are behind every natural disaster. During the eruption of the Villarica Volcano, they said a UFO had appeared. The same occurred with the Norte disaster. Many people claimed seeing extraterrestrials emerging from the Calbuco region during the 2010 earthquake. There is considerable disinformation about this."
Therefore, he explains that one of his functions is to deny all of this. "We are clear that this will always occur. But I want to make it clear that whenever UFOs are mentioned, you should not picture extraterrestrials. This is harmful and only results in disinformation," says the major.

my question is How to get epc & antennaport data?
thank you

A: Because deserialized.tag_reads is a collection instead of base type or string, you might get the result that you didn't want to get.

How to get epc & antennaport data?

you might try to use deserialized.tag_reads with foreach to iterator the collection then do your logic
var deserialized = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Hdr>(json);
foreach(var item in deserialized.tag_reads){
   //item.epc
   //item.antennaPort
}

Self-harm, also known as self-injury, is defined as the intentional, direct injuring of body tissue, usually done without the intent of suicide. Self harm has a stigma attached to it, with non-suffers often assuming the only reason for this behaviour is to garner 'attention'. However, this behaviour is often routed in psychological suffering and provides … Continue reading Why do People Self-Harm?

Fiji's Extinct Megafauna
Fiji Post released a set of four stamps feature the Fiji's Extinct Megafauna on August 15, 2006. The 50c stamp depicts Fiji Crocodile or Volia athollandersoni.
Volia athollandersoni or Fiji Crocodile was an extinct genus of Fiji mekosuchine crocodylian. It was around 2–3 meters long. It is the greatest predator of the Pleistocene ecosystems of Fiji.Fossils of Volia athollandersoni have been found in Fiji Islands at Voli-Voli Cave and Wainibuku Cave.
Vitilevu Giant Pigeon (Natunaornis gigoura)
The Viti Levu Giant Pigeon (Natunaornis gigoura) was a flightless pigeon, only slightly smaller than the dodo (Raphus cucullatus) and Rodrigues solitaire (Pezophaps solitaria).
Vitilevu Rail (Vitirallus watlingi)
The Viti Levu Rail (Vitirallus watlingi) was a prehistoric flightless bird from Fiji. The Viti Levu Rail was a very elongated and slender bill compared with the Bar-winged Rail (Nesoclopeus poecilopterus). The name of the genus refers to Viti the island of origin in Fiji and rallus for rails.
Giant Fiji ground frog (Platymantis megabotoniviti)
Platymantis megabotoniviti is an extinct species of frog in the family Ranidae. The species was described from bones of late Quaternary age from caves on Viti Levu, Fiji.
Platymantis megabotoniviti is much larger than the other two species of Platymantis known from Fiji, P. vitianus and P. vitiensis.

MARIETTA — Five churches are working together to bring a concert featuring Matthew Smith and Indelible Grace to the Marietta High School Auditorium at 7:30 p.m. April 27.
The churches — Williams Creek Baptist in Williamstown, The Journey Church in Marietta, Grace Baptist Church in Parkersburg, Redeemer in Parkersburg and Veto Presbyterian Church in Washington County — are hosting the concert and worked together on another project.
These five churches sponsored the Reformation Night that was held in October 2017 at Grace Baptist Church in Parkersburg.
The concert and worship seminar on April 27 in Marietta will be free and open to the public.
The worship seminar begins at 5:30 p.m., before the concert, in the Marietta High School cafeteria. The worship seminar is designed for worship leaders, but anyone can attend, event officials said.
CDs will be available for sale before and after the concert and during intermission at Marietta High School.
Indelible Grace plays contemporary Christian music, and takes old hymns and sets them to contemporary music.
Matthew Smith is a Nashville-based singer-songwriter who writes new melodies to centuries-old hymn texts, helping guide people into emotionally honest worship, according to his website. He is a founding member of the Indelible Grace community, whose work has drawn acclaim across denominational lines and is used in churches around the world.
Indelible Grace Music grew out of ministering to college students, primarily through Reformed University Fellowship (RUF). As these students began to taste more of the depth of the gospel and the richness of the hymn tradition, many began to join the music of their culture with the words of our forefathers, and a movement was born, according to a press release.
"Our hope is to be a voice calling our generation back to something rich and solid and beyond the fluff and the trendy. We want to remind God's people that thinking and worship are not mutually exclusive, and we want to invite the Church to appreciate her heritage without idolizing it," according to Indelible Grace's website.
The five local church pastors developed a friendship while working on the Reformation Night held last October at Grace Baptist Church in Parkersburg, said spokeswoman Stacy Howell of Veto Presbyterian Church.
People enjoyed the Reformation Night and this year's concert follows the pastors' discussions.

A Brand New World: The Future Of Television
Sixty years ago, one-third of all homes didn't even have a television set. And virtually all of those who did have a relatively-new "radio with pictures" had to gather around their family's single black-and-white set in order to watch.
Since that time, the one thing that's become clear about television is that the landscape doesn't stay stable for very long. At first, there wasn't much to watch. Most cities had three over-the-air network channels, and some lucky markets had a few educational and independent signals. Cable became widely available with dozens of channels and was then joined at the party by satellite, with each eventually capable of delivering hundreds of channels. VCRs, DVRs, VOD - all added the ability to time-shift shows and skip through commercials; premium cable signals like HBO and Showtime eliminated the commercials entirely. And now, video streaming via Netflix, Hulu and many other sources has forced us to rethink what "television" really means in today's world.
What's coming next? Here are few educated guesses.
The Cable Industry's Will Change Or Die
For quite some time, the cable industry has been fighting off demands to "unbundle" traditional channel offerings. In this model, viewers who don't like sports can simply order the entertainment channels they enjoy. Giant companies are deathly afraid of that "a la carte" approach; for example, Disney makes enormous profits by having ESPN delivered to almost every home in America.
The industry is bound to lose the battle, however. Consumers have been cancelling their cable subscriptions in larger and larger numbers every year since 2013 (more than half-a-million in 2015 alone), thanks to the growing popularity of streaming video and the increasing quality of programs on services like Netflix.
That's why industry players are all developing streaming platforms like HBO NOW, to accommodate "cable cutters" as well as millennials who never had cable in the first place. In the not too distant future, the cable industry will either morph into a more open content delivery service with unbundled channels and greater options - or it will slowly disappear.
Sorry, But There Will Still Be Commercials
Netflix has done quite well with a strict "no commercial" policy. However, large companies still want to put products in front of audiences and there's a lot of money to be made by selling those "eyeballs." That means ads won't be going away anytime soon. Even some streaming services either carry commercials or make you pay extra to avoid them.
But everyone realizes that old-fashioned, repetitive blocks of ads don't work like they used to. The commercials are either disregarded, or skipped with the help of the fast-forward button. So in the future there will be fewer traditional ads, replaced by alternatives like the program sponsorships or product placement deals already becoming common. Most importantly, commercials will be laser-targeted at the viewers who are watching; streaming services will monitor viewing patterns and collect data to ensure that each viewer receives ads related to their specific interests.
Television and the Internet Will Be Inseparable
Netflix predicts that in less than ten years, every TV sold will be a Smart TV. And analysts agree with YouTube's prediction that in the next three or four years, 90% of all Internet traffic will be generated by people watching video. When you couple those very realistic predictions with the enormous growth and popularity of streaming video providers, it's clear that a television set or monitor will no longer be a stand-alone appliance.
In the near future, TV will finally outgrow its heritage of delivering "radio with pictures." Instead, television will become the primary device that delivers Internet content for home entertainment. Some content producers will still be old-school networks or studios, but television without Internet connectivity will be much like television in the 1950s or 60s: there won't be very much to watch.


What can I donate to the hospice shops?
Ball and fayre raise over £25,000!
Our Great Gatsby RoaringTwenties Ball and Christmas Fayre held on back to back days raised over £25,000 between them!
Charleston dancers and mock police raids took ball guests back in time, enjoying performances by the Northern Jazz Orchestra and the Dance Crazy Theatre.
Guests in Twenties-style dapper tuxedos and flapper frocks arrived to a champagne reception, and had to knock on the door to be let into the ball, in keeping with the underground activities of the prohibition era.
Raffle prizes including a stay at London's Ritz hotel and a vintage bottle of brandy were snapped up by attendees, as well as one-off signed auction memorabilia.The amount raised on the night was £21.375.
Supporters also came in their droves to our Christmas Fayre held the next day, helping to raise over £4,300!
Many children got the opportunity to meet Father Christmas and received a gift from the man himself . Stalls offering, jewellery, gifts, teddies, cakes, toys, books, christmas cards and games like guess the weight of the cake and name the teddy were bustling with shoppers looking to stock up on treats and presents while helping to keep the hospice open for the patients and families who need it.
The total amount raised stands at £4,360.92.
Thank you to everyone who supported one or both of these events. We couldn't do it without you!

Gabby Petito's boyfriend confessed to her murder before taking his own life, says FBI
The boyfriend of Gabby Petito claimed responsibility for her death before taking his own life, according to the FBI.
Brian Laundrie had been on a cross-country trip in the US with Ms Petito when she disappeared.
Her body was found in Wyoming in September, sparking a manhunt for Laundrie, who officials believe returned to Florida without her.
Brian Laundrie and Gabby Petito were on a cross country trip across the US
However, his remains were found a month later and investigators confirmed that he had killed himself.
The FBI found a notebook, revolver and backpack.
"A review of the notebook revealed written statements by Laundrie claiming responsibility for Ms Petito's death," the FBI's Denver Field Office said in a statement released Friday.
The notebook was found in October, in the same area as Laundrie's remains in Florida's Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park.
More on Gabby Petito
In their statement, the FBI added that both families have reached an agreement on how the couple's belongings will be distributed.

What happened to Gabby Petito?
Laundrie, 23, was a person of interest in the killing of Ms Petito, who was reported missing on 11 September by her parents while the couple were on a road trip.
Ms Petito's body was found on 19 September at a campground near Grand Teton National Park in northwestern Wyoming.
A coroner determined she'd died about three weeks earlier of "blunt-force injuries to the head and neck, with manual strangulation".
The 22-year-old travel blogger's death was ruled a homicide by authorities
The FBI found Laundrie's body a month later, along with the belongings and Ms Petito's family suspected Laundrie was impersonating her in text messages after her death.
The FBI did not release specific details of what was written in the notebook but said that they had also found texts between the couple, sent after Ms Petito's death.
"The timing and content of these messages are indicative of Mr Laundrie attempting to deceive law enforcement by giving the impression that Ms Petito was still alive," the statement said.
Police footage shows Brian Laundrie talking to an officer after the van he was travelling in with Gabby Petito was pulled over near Moab, Utah. Pic: AP
Grand Teton was the last place the couple visited during a cross-country van trip last summer.
Laundrie and Ms Petito grew up on Long Island, New York, but were living in Florida in recent years.
The couple documented their trip on Instagram. They crossed Colorado and on 12 August were stopped by police in Utah, after the two got into a scuffle.
Police video showed Ms Petito describing a fight that had escalated.

Many closely-held business owners successfully ignore disagreements with co-owners for years or even decades. Understandably, there is always a more pressing and important business matter that merits immediate attention. Also, particularly in family-owned businesses, contentious issues may be "overlooked" to preserve family harmony. Unfortunately, issues that fester for years can suddenly and dramatically spiral out of control and result in expensive, harmful and sometimes embarrassing litigation. Even after litigation is threatened or commenced, or a controversy between owners otherwise escalates, business owners should remain open to the possibility of resolution through means other than litigation. These options, including mediation, are available for co-owners to address contentious issues quietly, economically and with dignity.
A common refrain among business owners is that they were "blind-sided" when a co-owner turned aggressive, hired an attorney and began making demands that soon led to litigation. It can sometimes be difficult to pinpoint the underlying reasons for the disagreement and the triggering event that causes the controversy to bubble to the surface. This is especially true when owner animosity or even anger makes it more difficult to fully understand and resolve the underlying problem.
From a legal standpoint, even before a conflict arises, it is important to analyze the rights of each owner, including the terms of applicable agreements and documents (e.g., shareholder, partnership or operating agreements, employment agreements, buy/sell agreements, by-laws, minutes, confidentiality and noncompete provisions), as well as the statutory and common law rights each may have. It is not unusual for disgruntled owners to raise a myriad of complaints and claim damages for alleged injuries suffered directly by the owner or derivatively to the business itself. The possible allegations may include the breach of the terms of the various agreements between the owners, lack of communication and information flow to minority owners, failure to comply with governance requirements (including the failure to hold meetings and votes), the failure to pay dividends or make distributions, unfair salary levels and compensation, buyout issues, mismanagement (including usurpation of company opportunities by a controlling owner), the failure to address succession issues or adopt the right succession plan. In addition, there may be genuine disagreement over the strategic direction of the business, company financial goals and expenditures (including the tension between those favoring distributions and those who want to invest in the business). In short, the list of possible complaints and issues is nearly endless.
When disagreements manifest themselves before litigation, there may be a real opportunity to try to resolve the underlying issues quickly. The odds of a resolution improve if the owners and/or their counsel have a solid understanding of the interplay between the legal, business and personal issues at stake. As to the legal issues, in assessing owner rights and obligations it is important to have an understanding of the company governance structure (ownership percentage, officers, directors, managers, etc.), terms of applicable agreements, as well as some consideration of possible claims and counterclaims. It is also critical to understand the business both operationally and financially and how those conditions may impact the legal analysis and the dynamic between owners. Finally, an often overlooked component is the history of the personal and professional relationship between the owners, or lack thereof.
Many owners may not have fully thought through exactly what they want, what their options are and whether their expectations are realistic. Understanding these options and each owner's goals and objectives can be invaluable to ensuring that all possibilities for resolution are considered. An owner should be challenged to think critically about the key legal, business and personal aspects of the issue to help expand the options for reaching common agreement. Do the owners want to continue together in business or should they consider separating via a buyout? Do the owners need to redefine the company ownership and governance structure? Do the owners share the same vision for the company's future? Are new leaders and investors needed? Is a strategic plan or succession plan in place or should one be developed? One or more of these questions may need to be considered, along with a multitude of others depending upon the disagreement and challenges faced by the owners.
Under the right circumstances, a proactive and adept owner may be able to objectively analyze competing issues, identify the crux of the conflict and address and resolve the matter directly with the other owner(s) without further drama. However, in most cases, and particularly when complex issues, frayed relationships and lost trust are part of the owner dynamic, it likely makes sense for owners to consult with an attorney to obtain an objective and professional perspective before determining the best course of action. Although the owners may reflexively reach out to the company attorney for help, they should think through whether the advice of a more objective "outsider" makes sense given that the company attorney may have a conflict of interest.
The role of counsel may simply be a "behind the scenes adviser" if it makes sense for the owner to directly address conflicts with their co-owner(s). Alternatively, an attorney may be able to better assist as an active participant in pushing discussions and negotiations forward with the other owner(s) and their counsel. However, there are many circumstances where interplay between the different owners and their counsel results in an escalation of an already tense situation as each side strongly advocates for their position.
Mediation is underutilized alternative to resolve disagreements between owners of closely-held and family-owned businesses that arise before litigation. A thoughtful mediator who is familiar with closely-held business issues is often best suited to work with the company owners to achieve a resolution satisfactory to all parties. An adept mediator can assess and adjust their style to adapt to the circumstance by moving between a facilitative and evaluative approach to ensure the best opportunity for success.
Even after litigation is filed, there is always an opportunity for an effective mediator to assist the parties in finding a solution. The filing of a lawsuit obviously raises the stakes considerably, but over time, the experience of protracted and expensive litigation may ultimately serve to nudge entrenched parties to the bargaining table. The intense emotions that exist when litigation is initially filed, often give way to "litigation fatigue." Mediation presents the possibility of a "win win" scenario for both parties (while avoiding the possibility for both parties of an outright loss in litigation) and may offer an attractive alternative to "all or nothing" litigation.
In short, closely held business owners and their counsel should remain open to the possibility and promise that mediation is a powerful tool that, if successful, can be the key to resolving complex disputes between co-owners, saving the parties money, preserving the business and even restoring harmony to the family or co-owner relationship.

KoЯn "The Nothing"
by Matt Bolton
13; lucky for some. More than luck in this case, for hard-working Bakersfield misfits KoЯn, with their 13th effort, The Nothing. More of a continuation of their last work, The Serenity of Suffering (2016), what the album previous lacked this makes up for.
As the last record provided us with the signature Davis scat and use of C-minus scratching away on the turntables like it was 1999, the return of Bagpipes makes its welcome return in the intro, "The End Begins", leading to the tormented cries of Jonathan Davis, which all began on the infamous debut with "Daddy" 25 years ago.
After the passing of Davis wife, showing his pain through art in the form of music, this release has to be the darkest contender in the dense catalogue. The pounding drums of Ray Luzier make way for album opener, "Cold", with the distinct bass groove of Reginald "Fieldy" Arvizu lurking like a crazed stalker among the bushes.
This is the sound of a band who has evolved, not afraid to throw in a catchy chorus, keeping with the times, while remaining true with the growls, reminiscent to that of former treats familiar to "Break some off", from the underrated, Take a Look in the Mirror (2003), which was the last to feature Brian "Head" Welch until his return in 2013.
The distinct guitar duo of Munky and Head stand out on next track, "You'll Never Find Me", with the verse and accompanying guitar licks, made famous on Follow the Leader (1998) and the follow-up Issues (1999). The bridge where Davis screams he is lost adds a feeling of agony and increases the tone of the album up a few notches.
"The Darkness Is Revealing" is an interesting track which seems to wind up and down in its moods like a schizophrenic Jekyll and Hyde. Where Davis shouts, "Take a look around", in the bridge one can't help but be reminded of the wackiness of System of a Down.
"Idiosyncrasy" is a highlight; starting with a pulverising riff, mixing in clean vocals and groans, something that has been a constant for the Bakersfield outfit. After the bellowing bass of Fieldy, which rattles like a bottle of pills, Davis tortured singing style kicks in, with the old sound as present as a Peeping Tom in the red light district.
Two songs that take a few listens to get your head around, that being, "Finally Free"; with its almost Hip-Hop verse and "Can You Hear Me"; delving into a futuristic electronic atmosphere, crossing between sounds of The Paradigm Shift (2013) and Jonathan Davis solo record Black Labyrinth (2018).
"The Ringmaster" is full of stomping riffs that lead to bass slaps and blasts of hip-hop-infused madness. The distinct bass playing of Fieldy stands out on next track, "Gravity of Discomfort" with experimental sounds present, adding to the atmosphere, leading up to bouncy riffs galore.
Instead of winding down, the album does the opposite, with the last two tracks, making them instant highlights. "[email protected]" and "This Loss", which both stand apart as both different and the same. Instead of every album sounding the same, elements of all albums have meshed into one. Some of Davis best vocal work can be found on this album. It's dark but not gothic, heavy in parts, shows elements of dance and hip-hop while remaining true to the KoЯn sound.

We're excited to participate in the Cover Reveal for Charmed, the second book in the Fairy Tale Reform School Series by Jen Calonita.
Charmed is the exciting sequel to the wildly popular Flunked — second in the brand new Fairy Tale Reform School series where the teachers are (former) villains. "Charming fairy-tale fun." -Sarah Mlynowski, author of the New York Times bestselling Whatever After series.
Wands begin popping up in kids' hands as we walk through the halls, and we all cheer. Pop!My wand arrives in my hand—long, dark-gray, and nicked like it's seen a few battles. Hmm…what to try first… I'm just about to test the wand out, when I feel the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Instinct tells me to dive out of the way. When I look up, I see a classmate spelling the troll next to her. The girl turns into an ice sculpture. Geez, that was close. I better stay alert.
Pop! Pop! Pop!Kids begin casting all around me. The crowded hallway is suddenly full of talking woodland creatures, toads, fireworks, and a pretty impressive cloud raining licorice. Kids are cheering and fighting, and the sound of all those wands working is enough to give me a headache. I hurry away from the spell zapping, looking for somewhere to practice alone.
"Not advised, but she didn't say it was against the rules," I say to myself. I flick the wand over my stuffy, uncomfortable pale-blue uniform and turn it into a comfy peasant shirt and pants. I swap out my ugly school shoes for my beloved lace-up boots. Now that I'm comfortable, I get to the task at hand. I'm sure an actual spell would work better, but since I don't know one, I just imagine myself flying, and Bam!I'm slowly floating up, up, up in the air. Score!
My wand falls from my grasp. Uh-oh.I begin to plummet, spinning faster and faster with no sign of stopping. Before I can even think of a way to break my fall, whoosh!I feel my body hit a blanket and bounce up, then land again on a magic carpet.
"Ten minutes into Wand What You Want, and you're already having a near-death experience?" my friend Jax asks.
Jen Calonita has published more than a dozen novels, has seen her works translated into nine languages, and is the recipient of the Louisiana Young Readers Award. When Jen isn't plotting, she lives in New York with her husband, two sons, and their feisty Chihuahua, Captain Jack Sparrow.

As a thirty-something single creative who works several jobs, I have to remind myself to call/text my best friend. Yes, friend, singular, as in, one. I have one true friend. Everyone else are just really dope, talented, interesting, incredible people I am lucky to know. They float through my life in waves, and bring with them their uniqueness that makes me adore them.
My best friend and I have been friends for over twenty years now. She held me as I cried at my Mom's funeral. I held her as she cried through her Father's. The deaths of our Grandmother's, the birth of her two children, break-ups, and everything else in-between. We don't talk everyday, or spend every weekend at each others homes, we are always there for each other.
For me, friendship as an adult means being there for my best friend no matter what. Checking in with each other when we can and understanding there will be weeks when we can't because…life. Adult friendships include knowing that you will grow apart at times when our lives take different lanes. That loving one another enough to come back together and find a common road is necessary. As a writer/actor my life couldn't be any more left field from my best friend. She works in the medical field, owns her own home, has two kids and a man. While our lives are opposites, the love and respect we have for our friendship remains the same.
That's the thing about friendships; you mature and understand that not everyone is meant to grow with you on your life journey. Some people will hurt you, break your heart, love you, fill you with joy, stay and leave. Maintaining adult friendships can be difficult due to life stressors we don't experience until adulthood. With having pressures like mortgages, life insurance, giving birth, marriage, etc. our friendships take on an entirely new meaning. Adult friendships are hard to maintain, but when you have a true friend in your life, is entirely worth it.
How do you maintain your adult friendships? Sound off in the comment section below!
AWESOME Post, and so on point! I feel you 100% on being grateful for the ones that exit, but understanding the true friendships revolve around the respect for the friendship, checking up on each other when possible, and coming together to enjoy the commonalities that you do share! I love to celebrate the variety of life with my friends, and to recognize the differences, and different paths, are what makes us appreciate each other more! I see my homie who's doing big things, in his own lane, and I'm all the more happy for him! But anyway, thanks for this great piece!
Hey Will! Your response literally needs nothing more from me because its perfect! You're obviously a great friend! Thanks for always supporting my posts…much love!

We know Julie Andrews loved her raindrops and roses, but we've got a few of our favourite things we'd like to discuss.
Tassels, cocktails and inspirational advice. Sorry Maria.
A weird mix, but stick with us, it will be worth the read.
So, we came across this book on the wonderful world of Instagram. Written by Otegha Uwagba, this Little Black (Pink) Book does exactly what is says on the tin; it is a toolkit for working women, especially women in the Creative Industry. (That being said, don't be put off if you're a guy – after reading it, we think it would be super useful to anyone who works in the industry). Otegha has also founded Women Who, a network of creative women – she's just amazing basically.
Anyway, we love a good self-help book and as a team of Wonder-Women work behind the scenes at Pig & Fig we decided to give it a whirl and see what wise advice it had to offer. It arrived the next day (Amazon – £4) and although both shorter and smaller than we first imagined, it was succinct, classy and SO so good. Not to mention, it fits perfectly in your handbag! It has brief Chapters, jam-packed with simple yet effective suggestions to boost productivity, organisation, confidence and creativity, as well as financial tips and presentation pointers.
We soaked in every page and it is a book we will keep with us, skimming the pages before every important meeting, pitch, presentation, or just when we're feeling totally uninspired (let's be honest, we all have these days!).
Now, this brings us to the tassels.
A tip in the book is to dress YOU – you are the ambassador of yourself, so you should always dress to impress. Whether freelance, CEO or employee, showing your flair and style is an effortless way to express your creativity and feel amazing, something that someone (client, customer or investor) can pick up in a glance. This is crucial when making first impressions or when you want to feel your most confident self, ie. Sasha Fierce. So whether it be a shell-suit or tailored suit, wear your best self – looking good and presentable is half the job.
These tassel earrings are from Betty and Biddy, beautifully crafted jewellery at super affordable prices (and free delivery!) we feel utterly marvellous swishing them around as we pace the studio. The cream tassels are totally OTT and fall to the collar bone, but we love them.
No matter how busy you find yourself, don't let real-life get in the way of having fun.
Go out. Order extra chips. Say 'yes' to a Tequila Slammer. Try new recipes. Read a new book. Bake a cake. Buy a bunch of flowers. Have an hour-long bath. Get dressed up. Feel glamorous. Turn your Phone off after 8PM. Make time for your friends, family, loved ones. Explore outside of your comfort zone. And when life gives you lemons….MAKE A damn COCKTAIL.


Short Story written by: Ana Isabel.
Once upon a time, there was a girl called Rachel, who studied at a school called Mery Mazzarello. Rachel was very happy but her classmates were very mean to her and made her feel bad. She looked for help and told her teacher, but the girls kept annoying her.
One day, Rachel was playing when one of her classmates approached her and asked her to be her friend. Rachel thought that it was a joke but it wasn't. After several days everything around was filled with happiness. Her classmates realised that they did not have to be rude to her, and that they had to respect her and to be her friends.
After this, they always played together during break time in the school playground, did their homework together and never had an argument and only had fun at school.


2. Spend 100% of your time focusing on your goals and what you want. "Who can I talk to today that can help me make money this week?"
3. Eliminate all self-deprecating statements. See the good in yourself, there's lots of it there. Eliminate the "Yeah Buts"
5. By the Robb Report and Success Magazine every month. Expose yourself to what's possible… explode your thinking!
9. Ask yourself every day… "WHY NOT?"
Thinking Bigger as an inside job. It all starts with what you believe is possible and eliminating all the mental roadblocks. As business philosopher Simon Sinek says, "Look down from his high as possible. Look ahead as far as far as you can see. And then decide what to do." At the same time, don't try to do it all at once. Take on two or three of the above ideas at a time. Remember this truism… if you change your thinking, you will change your life. There is absolutely nothing in your way. NO Excuses.
