Gold • 85+ Naturally Occurring Minerals
Many of the mechanism for Golds phenomenal benefits are unclear to modern science, but gold has been used by nearly all major civilizations of the world to induce and promote beauty, youth regeneration, and a healthy glowing complexion. Gold, as a mineral is easily absorbed and utilized by the body, is completely non toxic, and has no known negative drug interactions with medications. The ancient romans used gold to cure skin problems, and medieval Europe used it to treat soreness and body aches.
Gold, in its monatomic form, exists in a high spin state where it acts as a gateway between the 3rd and the 5th dimensions. As a 4th dimensional substance, it enhances the ability to channel forms from the spirit realm(the thought realm) into the tangible realm(the physical). Therefore, while using monatomic gold, or any form of a monatomic, one must exercise great responsibility at maintain loving, compassionate, reverent thought, and speaking only positive words. For it's high spin state amplifies the rate at which what you put out, comes back to you. Therefore, it quickens the rate of karma. Synchronistic phenomenon is enhanced, and life becomes more lucid. One begins to see very clearly that the things they thing, say, and do have energetic repercussion, and the learning process increases greatly. So while using monatomics, one begins to realize they are safe, if they are safe. They have a good life, if they are good. They attract what they give, and the are what they attract. So there is no one to blame, there is only one. This is the consciousness of monatomics. This is why I rose in love with Ormus 24Ktm, and is how it changed my life, and continues to change my life today. Beware of impostures and knock offs. Monatomics do not stay around negative energy, or heavy EMF fields. One of the key components make Ormus 24Ktm so powerful, is that it is made in a sacred laboratory anchoring high frequencies with crystal, solfeggio frequency playing 24/7, and positive affirmations. Other Ormus providers will state claims like these, now that this is public information, but beware of imposters.
It is well established that naturally occurring nano sized gold particles suspended in solution have been used in Egyptian alchemy to access higher states of awareness, intuition, telepathy, God connection, and seeing into the future. as a way to increase mental cognition, expanded consciousness, physical healing, and life extension.
Gold is considered a noble metal in all forms of alchemy and is still being used today in modern alternative health settings to help alleviate nearly all common health issues such as arthritis, bursitis, rheumatism, and tendinitis. Blood sugar imbalances, and blood circulation.
Gold has been used to support the recover and even the reversal of substance addiction such as alcohol, tobacco, caffeine, nicotine, and excessive sugar cravings.
Mood disorders, dementia, depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADD & ADHD are all targets for the healing benefits of Gold, as it has been commonly used for boosting brain function, sleep issues, and overall glandular/endocrine health to support the balance of hormone and neurotransmitter production and regulation.
While Gold is healthy for your cells, it can damage the outer cell wall of bacteria and disrupt the supply of nutrients and energy to the cell, which in turn helps to destroy and remove harmful bacteria from the body. Gold has been used against parasites, viruses, fungal overgrowth, and other skin issues such as acne.
Confidence & Will Power
Gold has a soothing and harmonizing effect on the body, mind, and spirit and helps the body make energy, resulting in more will power, motivation, and creativity. It can be very calming to the nervous system, yet it also creates an enhanced awareness of things, and a sort of energy that can feel unstoppable. This is most likely due to Gold's high vibration consciousnesses.
Enhanced Moods
It is used to improve mental and emotional well being of people suffering from a lack of mental focus.
As gold can help to balance and regulate the hormonal and neurotransmitter production systems and glands, it is a powerful tool for those with libido issues, and can even greatly effect the libido of ordinally healthy individuals.
Deeper Sleep
Gold is utilized by the pineal gland, which produces melatonin and serotonin. The sleep chemical and the feel good chemical. Gold does not make people sleepy, but it will allow people to get more deep and restful sleep. Since DMT is produced in the pineal gland, Gold also helps people achieve colorful more lucid dreams, and higher states of peace. The use of gold can also help to restore balance in cases of chills, hot flashes, and night sweats, the body's temperature stabilizing mechanism is restored to balance.
As a natural stimulant for the cells of the body, gold improves the transmission of electrical signals between the nerve cells in the brain and increases mental alertness. This increased cellular communication causes as remarkable boost in concentration.
Gold also regenerates cellular tissues and restores their healthy elastic properties. For this reason it has been used topically to treat various skin problems such as eczema, fungal infections, skin rash, wounds, skin burns and the list goes on. Gold's anti-aging characteristics have been known for centuries.
Treatment of Cancer
Hundreds, and possibly thousands of researchers around the world are studying Golds ability to heal cancers. Gold is being used in alternative medicine to treat prostate cancer, ovarian cancer, and other types of cancer by injecting micro and calculated amounts of gold into the patient's body in order to control growth of cancerous cells.
Archeological findings have discovered that the mineral gold has been likely used for 4,500 - 5,000 years by the ancient Egyptians for purposes of dentistry.

Antimony is a silvery white naturally occurring earth element. It generally shows up in river waters and soil beds. Small amounts of antimony are shown to have health benefits, and are the primary component of medications used to treat leishmaniasis, which is a protozoic parasite infection.
Barium is a naturally occurring element that is hardly traceable in Ormus 24K, but its presence is strong enough to have a positive impact on Killing parasites. Barium is used to help diagnose certain disorders of the esophagus, stomach, or intestines, as it is insoluble as a sulfate.
Is said to support the bodies processes of oxygenation and cellular nourishment. It is used in components of the analytical equipment used to analyze blood for HIV and other diseases, offering the precision and reliability that doctors and patients demand. It's classified as an alkaline earth metal, because it is shiny and slightly reactive... like a Betta fish.
As a crystal, Bismuth is known to help people to access their spirit guides, have more energy and achieve their goals. It is the active component in Pepto-Bysmol, it is known to treat aid the stomach in relief of indigestion, bloating, excessive gaseousness, and other forms of tension and discomfort. Bismuth is also beneficial against heartburn and nausea. Energetically, it helps with feelings of overwhelm, isolation, and nervousness.
Boron is an important trace mineral that has a wide array of benefits to overall health that are not commonly as known as other more familiar minerals. Boron has received the attention of athletes and body builders for its potential effects on boosting blood testosterone levels. Although the mechanism of action is not well understood it seems to have positive affects on hormone balance including supporting the natural production of estrogen in woman and can help balance out menopausal symptoms such as libido. One of the primary benefits of boron is it's bone building support which is often overlooked for calcium which we discover is lesser of importance when a high raw vegetable and super food based diet is adopted. It works in unison for other bone building minerals such as calcium and magnesium to increase mineral absorption. Boron is also very well known for it's anti-radiation capabilities and has often been paired with iodine for protecting against or detoxing from radiation poisoning.
Bromine has been known to have a slightly sedative and calming effect, without resulting in drowsiness. Bromine occurs naturally on the Earth's curst and sea waters. When paired with potassium, as in the case with salts, bromine has anticonvulsant properties. It was used to calm nervousness, seizures, and nervous system disorders by hospitals on a macro scale, several tons annually. Bromine compounds are still used as over the counter remedies for headaches and other forms of mild-severe discomfort.
Cadmium is a naturally occurring chemical element. Cadmium is very resistant to corrosion which is one of it's highlighted qualities. Cadmium was discovered in 1817 through looking at a pharmaceutical drug out of Germany designed for anti-itching medication that used a compound called calamine. They discovered that it was not pure zinc oxide and that a new element existed within this product which is now known as cadmium. Similar to Zinc, Cadmium contains energetics which may support the metabolism of all physiological pathways. The British Pharmaceutical Codex from 1907 states that cadmium iodide was used as a medication to treat enlarged joints, scrofulous glands, and chilblains.
Most likely the most misunderstood and popularized mineral of all time is calcium. It has been told to use for our entire lives that in order to get adequate calcium we need to get it from cows milk and cultural studies have shown conclusively that the populations that consume the highest amount of pasteurized processed milk also have the highest rates of arthritis and osteoporosis. This is alarming because calcium is an alkaline electrolyte mineral that is essential for bone density and the health of our teeth which are living extensions of our bone matrix. Calcium is also extremely important in the process of dissolving blood clumping such as the case in diabetic conditions. If our diet and lifestyle is too acidic then calcium storages in the bones will be leached out of our bones and brought into the blood in order to balance the PH ratio of an over acidic blood chemistry. When our blood PH becomes too acidic the body goes on red alert and must redirect alkaline minerals as a form of survival. This is why we have such an epidemic of osteoporosis, arthritis, and weakened bones among our elderly popular but also into the younger populations at large. Consuming a wide body of green leafy vegetables, alkaline green powdered super foods, Ormus products, and magnesium, silica, and vitamin K2 rich foods is very important. One last note is that it is advised to never consume isolated calcium supplements as these are chalk like end products mined out of the earth and do not absorb into our bones but build on top of our bones and get stuck into our glands such as with kidney stones, gall stones, calcification of the heart, and many other conditions.
Cesium is naturally occurring and used as medicine in both its organic, and synthetic form. Synthetic cesium is made to be radioactive. Organic cesium is used for the treatment of cancer, as it has an ability to alkalize the cancerous cells. Cancer can not grow in an alkaline state.
Chloride is essential for the body to appropriate digest foods and liquids, breaking them down into their finest elements when paired with Hydrogen. It also helps to support the liver and the lungs in detoxing the body. Chloride is a negatively charged mineral ion of chlorine, which make it powerful for neutralizing positive charged ions which normally reek havoc on the body.
Chromium is necessary for the appropriate functioning of insulin. Insulin regulates blood sugar and controls hunger cravings and satiation. By enhancing the effects of insulin, Chromium allows nutrients to be shuttled into the cells where the body can use them for energy. If the nutrients are not appropriately shuttled into the cells, they float into the blood stream and are converted into fat cells. In this way, chromium is great for remaining lean, and energetic.
Cobalt is an essential mineral for the production of Vitamin B-12, and is critical for the production of red blood cells, which transfer oxygen throughout the body. Cobalt is also a key in the mechanisms of many enzymatic reactions taking place in the body.
Copper is said to be the third most abundant trace mineral in the human body following zinc and iron. It is found in every tissue in the body but most heavily concentrated in the liver. Copper helps to manufacture melanin, which is our original hair pigment as well as improving skin tone. The mineral iron requires copper for proper transportation and absorption in the blood. Many iron deficiencies symptoms such as Anaemia could be in fact a copper deficiency at their root cause. Copper seems to be an essential mineral for the production of the thyroid hormone thyroxine as well as helping to build the myelin sheath that protect our nerves. The super-antioxidant superoxide dismutase (SOD) is an enzyme that relies on copper to activate free-radical(inflammation) protection which can take place during the normal metabolic process, especially if our immune system has been compromised in any way. According to the studies, when copper is not present in the body, SOD production is greatly reduced and inflammation becomes greater. Zinc in combination with copper helps to influence the production of SOD. Copper also acts as a co-factor in manufacturing elastic fibers in the arteries and brain, as well as helping the structural proteins that build bone and connective-tissue.
(trace) Dysprosium
Dysprosium holds the ability to resist demagnetization at high temperatures. It has an independent, philosophical aspect to it's nature. Similar to Lanthanum, in it's metallic form is so soft it can easily be cut with a knife.
(trace) Erbium
Erbium is a Lanthanide metal and very rare Earth element. It is a very flexible earth mineral often used to provide a pinkish color to cosmetic products and jewelry. Erbium is also useful in treating sun-damaged skin, acne scars, or wrinkles with laser skin resurfacing technologies utilizing Erbium-doped fibers.
(trace) Europium
If you are looking at a computer screen, you are looking at Europium right now… Europium is a naturally occurring earth mineral that produces the coloration used to create the pixels in your computer monitor.
(trace) Gadolinium
Gadolinium is a magnetic earth element that allows doctors to find and treat tumors within the body. Gadolinium forms allows when mixed with other metals, and has a very low curie point, meaning it easily transforms from being magnetic to non-magnetic with slight changes in temperature. Gadolinium in vivo would not display the same characteristics as it does in vitro.
(trace) Gallium
Gallium is considered a smart medal. Gallium is a very rare mineral, but trace amounts can be found in certain coals, ash, Ormus and river beds. It is a necessary component in the production of High Speed Internet, through local area networks, and it is one of only 4 metals that can exist as a liquid at room temperature. Gallium is a beautiful silver color, has a texture similar to glass and is non-toxic.
(trace) Hafnium
Hafnium was discovered in 1923 in Norway. But it's name means Copenhagen, not because it helps people cope with stress, but because it was first studied and identified as one of the missing elements by the University of Copenhagen. It's odd how collective bodies like to name things after themselves. But anyway, when mixed with Carbon, Hafnium has the greatest endurance to high temperatures than any other element. That is up to around 7,000 degrees Fahrenheit. So a Hafnium Carbide body suit would make fire fighters pretty much indestructible. DM me if you want to collaborate on building one, @ArcherLove. Some of the rockets I worked on while in the Air Force used this with Niobium.
The most abundant element in the Universe, Hydrogen constitutes about 75% of the Universe's mass. Giving energy to the proton, it is a powerful antioxidant and source for energy within the body. Hydrogen is essential for the production of Adenosine Triphosphate, and when inhaled, Hydrogen is useful at quickly recovering from acute oxidative stress. Hydrogen also aids in reversing the signs of aging as it scavenges OH molecules, making it a powerful antioxidant.
(trace) Holmium
Snoop Dog had a hard time trust Holmium when he found out it's chemical symbol is Ho. When it was discovered in Sweden, Ho was very impure, and bonded to both, Erbium and Terbium. Synchronistical, it took 4 years for a scientist named "Cleve" to separate Ho from it's bondage, but when the task was accomplished Ho moved on to live a great and independent life as the most magnetic element on the periodic table. Cleve was pretty proud of himself for his accomplishment with Ho, but he later found out that two scientists, Marc Delafontaine and Jacque-Louis Soret, had discovered Ho before him, and conducted all sorts of laboratory experiments with Ho. Sorry Cleve.. But still, Cleve is the only one who could separate Ho from Erbium, and that is a pretty big accomplishment. Thanks to Cleve, Ho is now used to make magnets, so if you've every handled a magnet, you have definitely picked up a Ho.
If Indium was a Now Alchemy product it would be called, "Clarity", because Indium is responsible for the clear screen and touch screen features of our cellular devices. The mineral is capable of full transparency when bonded to a special fusion of tin and oxygen. By placing the Indium compound on top of the glass electricity is made able to pass through the glass. And that is how touch screens work, basically.
The primary role of iron is in the development of red blood cells and maintaining oxygen transportation through our the vascular system. The number one condition of iron deficiencies is anemia(low red blood cell count) or pernicious anemia which is why many believe believe consuming heavy amounts of red meat is an effective way to maintain adequate iron levels. This is true in the sense that the blood of meat carries a form of iron in high concentrations called heme-iron (blood based iron) whereas plant based iron sources are non-heme forms. One can increase their iron levels by including high quality iron rich plant foods such as nuts, seeds, cacao nuts, organic green leafy vegetables, beet root juice or cooked beets, watermelon juice, and other foods. Meat can be used as well but should only be used as a condiment and not as a regular main course. It is important to recognize that the iron element is an oxidant in nature and it is advised to not take isolated iron supplements as they can create oxidative stress in the body and iron requires other complimentary minerals such as manganese and magnesium for proper absorption.
One of the most important trace minerals that supports all functions of the body including metabolic balance, thyroid, adrenal glands, kidneys, pancreas, lymphatic detoxification, and cardiovascular health. Natural iodine pushes out airborne pollutants and radioactive particles from the receptor sites of the thyroid gland. Iodine induces apoptosis, the spontaneous breakdown of mutated cells that proliferate into cancerous growth in the body. Iodine is a heavily researched in the field of brain development and has conclusively been shown that iodine deficiencies in new borns are the leading cause for retardation of cognitive faculties and the underdevelopment of the brain. It has also been shown that one of the leading causes for breast cancer in women is iodine deficiency.
(trace) Iridium
I(rid)ium, not coincidentally, is the rarest of all earth elements. So one may assume that Iridium would be a precious metal, like gold. But it's extreme usefulness has caused it to be hoarded and put to work in the medical, industrial and scientific industry. Also unlike gold, Iridium is very unreactive, kind of like a lazy element. But its super strong, and is mixed with other minerals to increase their resistance to temperature change. Medically, Iridium is used to target and get rid of cancer. Yet, another reason why it's called I(rid)ium.
(trace) Lanthanum
Lanthanum is such a pure medal, that it is soft enough to be cut with a butter knife. It is used as a medical tracer to spot calcium absorption issues, Lanthum is only toxic if inhaled, yet it is the mineral used on the wicks of Flint lighters… Um, that's weird.
Yay for Lithium! Lithium is most known for it's well documented benefits for overall brain health and cognitive support. This trace mineral, according to the studies, demonstrates positive effects on increasing a neurological process known as neurogenesis which involves the regeneration of grey matter in the brain and the creation of new brain cells. Lithium is neuron-protective meaning it can help protect against age related neurodegenerative conditions that weaken the brain and cause a host of mental decline symptoms. It has been used in many cases as a way to increase focus, memory, and attention span which also have a secondary benefit of helping with mood disorders. There are numerous other benefits lithium has on the body outside of brain health and the primary one is that it seems to influence longevity potential. It is important to note that the research on lithium is based on lithium orotate and not the pharmaceutical prescription lithium carbonate.
(trace) Lutetium
Lutetium as potential benefits as a therapeutic nucleotide. It is also a super powerful catalyst, and can be used as a fire during alchemical transformations. Similar to gold, as a catalyst, Lutenium has the ability to accelerate the rate of biomechanisms, without going through any changes itself.
Mmmm Magnesium, is magic. Especially when mixed with Potassium, then it's magiK, because the symbol for potassium is K, Magnesium is Mag for short, and the two minerals together work wonders for boosting testosterone levels. Magnesium is, perhaps, the most essential mineral for overall human health and provides more benefits that can be easily listed in a short explanation. Magnesium is the number 1 mineral and nutrient used by the human heart alongside potassium. All cases of heart disease show extreme levels of magnesium deficiency and high levels of excess calcium as the corner stone of cardiovascular complications. Magnesium is one of the main 5 electrolytes that creates an electrical charge in our body and helps us maintain better heart health, brain cognition, bone density, teeth health, and digestive wellness. Magnesium can support in a process known as peristalsis which is essential for regularity of fecal elimination as a main way the body removes fat soluble toxins from the body. In most cases ADD and ADHD issues in children and adults have been reported to be alleviated with the proper dosage of magnesium rich foods and/or supplementation. Magnesium is also essential for balancing the parasympathetic and sympathetic stress response this easing tension, impatience, moodiness, and overall stress.
Every element on the periodic table of elements has a polar complimentary opposite in which one mineral balances out the other. In the case of manganese iron is the complimentary balance and when the body is deficient in iron, such as anemia(low red blood cell count), manganese is an essential nutrient in that equation, not just iron by itself. Manganese is important for the healthy development of bones working in combination with calcium and phosphorus. This trace mineral is also known to be supportive in cases of chronic fatigue, immune system weakness, premenstrual syndrome, impaired glucose sensitivity, and can have positive effects on reproductive health.
As a cofactor, Molybdenum acts as a catalyst to enzymatic reactions. So, molybdenum is basically an energy shot for your enzymes. Some of the main bodily functions utilizing Molybdenum for energy are the metabolism and protein synthesis. Molybdenum deficiency could result in headaches, seizures, visual changes, and neurological disorders.
(trace) Neodymium
If there was every a mineral who got lost in the matrix, it was (Neo)dynium. Neodymium is used inn light bulbs to give a more natural appearance, like sunlight. Fused with crystals, Neodynium creates a green light, the color of the heart chakra, and is medically used as a laser pointer for eye surgery, cosmetic surgery and cancer treatments.
Nickel functions as a pre-biotic in the large intestines of humans by feeding the good bacteria that reside there. Humans who cook with stainless steel consume more nickel than most, as it transports itself from the stainless steel into the food. Nickel is subtle, but powerful. It was primarily responsible for the mass extinction of life on Earth during the Permium-Triassic period after releasing itself from the Siberian Traps volcanos in massive amounts. It is found naturally in both food and water, and is nothing to worry about, and contrary to popular belief, Nickel is not a fermented cucumber product.
When cooled, Nobium has special electro-qualities, making it a superconductor. When electricity runs over it, beautiful rainbow like color spectrums appear in response to the varying frequency interactions with it's surface. Nobium is also used to make jewelry, and when that is the case it is pronounced no(buy)em, instead of no(be)em. Joking, of course. Nobium was named after the Greek Goddess of Tears, Niobe, because it's really been through a lot. As a refractory element, it has one of the highest resistances to heat and wear. The stoic Niobium is one of the tougher, and high vibration of all the elements.
Osmium is one of our platinum group elements! It has a head strong presence, as one of the desnsist elements in the world. Within the platinum group, osmium has the highest melting point and the lowest vapor pressure. So, it's like the Hulk of the element world.
Palladium is not just a really awesome theater in Hollywood, it's also a primary transportation tool used by the body to increase the uptake of Lipoic Acid into the cells. Lipoic Acid is an anti-oxidant that helps to prevent damage to the cells, so indirectly Palladium has an intelligence that can help to preserve youthfulness. Palladium is also used to convert harmful gasses, such as carbon monoxide, to less harmful gasses, such as carbon dioxide, in automobiles.. Fun fact.
This element has saved thousands of lives by healing cancer. Certain medicines made from platinum have the ability to stop cells from dividing, while allowing those cells to continue growing in a healthy rate. Platinum is so attractive that it has been recovered as a burial item for thousands of years, along with gold. It was found in Egyptian tombs as far back as 700BCE, and it's name means "little silver". Platinum's electrical conductivity, corrosion and heat resistance, ductility, biocompatibility, and antineoplastic potential make platinum one of the most useful materials in medical technology and pharmacology. Platinum is highly attractive and compatible with other elements, giving it energetic qualities of acceptance and affinity.
Phosphorus is the primary bone building mineral as 85% of our bone matrix, including our teeth, consist of phosphorus. This mineral is heavily abundant in nuts, seeds, and meats which make it a necessary acidic mineral to counter balance other alkaline bone building minerals such as calcium, magnesium, silica, and manganese. One of the reasons raw chocolate or cacao eaters tend to sustain very good teeth is because of the high amounts of both phosphorus and magnesium in cacao/chocolate. The body also uses phosphorus for a variation of metabolic needs such as manufacturing proteins, processing carbohydrates and fats, as well as assisting the cells to better make ATP for energy production. It is important to balance phosphorus out with high alkaline foods rich in alkaline minerals, especially magnesium and potassium to balance out the overloaded amount of phosphorus we received from the acid based standard American diet.
Potassium is one of the most important minerals for overall health and is the 2nd primary mineral used by the cardiovascular system in combination with magnesium. Potassium is important for the balance of alkalinity and acidity in the body helping us maintain balanced blood chemistry and not becoming overly acidic. One of the reasons people have so much success in health reversals of various issues on a dominantly raw plant food diet is because fruits and vegetables are extremely high in potassium. Potassium is one of the 5 primary electrolytes and supports nervous system health as well as aids in various dimensions such as reducing stress and anxiety, high blood pressure, kidney disorders, and vasodilation (blood flow).
Praseodymium
This atomic element holds an interesting secret and that is that there are always more mysteries to unfold in the universe and in our own lives. Praseodymium was discovered, not by accident, but by a scientist by the name of Carl Auer Von Welsbach questioning another scientists discoveries which led to the unveiling of this element. At room temperature praseodymium is solid but at higher temperatures it becomes soft and moldable, similar to saturated fats such as coconut oil upon higher heat than their stable form can resist. It is part of the lanthanide metals on the periodic chart of elements which are a set of minerals that seem to have a high boiling/melting point or heat tolerance, making them interesting alchemical elements.
Rhenium is an interesting element with an equally interesting story behind it. When the formal periodic table of the elements was being finished there was one gaping hole in what would otherwise be a complete set of identifiable naturally occurring minerals (with the exception of Ormus minerals which were unknown by traditional chemists in those times). There was confusion about this element upon it's discovery and it's original given name was nipponium that was assumed to be number 43 on the chart but upon further investigation it was realized that this was actually number 75 and was then known as rhenium. Rhenium is a transition element and may hold interesting alchemical benefits when used in combination with other elements, such as the Ormus elements for example.
Rhodium is a very interesting platinum mineral that has had considerable research done to indicate that it is a necessary compound for healing of many degenerative issues involving the neuromuscular system such as Parkinson's syndrome and metabolic diseases such as various forms of cancer. There has been a lot of research done to show the effects of light therapy to scramble viruses associated with cancers to break down and eliminate tumor cell formations. Research coming out of the Purdue University Chemistry division showed that rhodium based compounds, when exposed to light, can deactivate viruses closely related to the west nile virus and yellow fever. This is documented in the book Minerals for the Genetic code and is well worth one's investigation into this topic. Rhodium also seems to work as a carrier vehicle for other highly unique minerals discussed in this section.
Rubidium
Rubidium is a platinum metal that is associated with the amino acid methionine which is an essential sulfur bearing amino acid that builds out the protein structures of our DNA and connective tissue matrix. An interesting fact is that it is the 16thmost common element in the earths crust and is also found in mineral springs and sea water. Rubidium in it's unstabalized form has been used in application to laser cooling and adding the purple light spectrum to fireworks.
Ruthenium was named after the geographic location it was discovered, which was a place once called Ruthenia which is part of Russia now. Ruthenium is considered a precious mineral, a transitional mineral, and is found at the center of the periodic table of elements. Ruthenium is used in many jewelry creations as an alloy, mixed with platinum and palladium. It is also used in what are known as electrical contacts which are parts of electrical circuits used in circuit breakers and light switches. This helps the device conduct electricity which may indicate it's potential effects within a biological system like the human body, potentially supporting with neurological function and electrical conductivity of the nervous system.
Samarium is a multi-versatile metal that has been used in many interesting applications of science. It has very strong magnetic effects, so much so that samarium coral magnets are far stronger than iron magnets and seem to have a high heat tolerance. It has also been used in the development of optical lasers in order to increase the magnetic resonance of the calcium fluoride within the laser. What is of particular interest is the fact that samarium is currently used in the treatment of bone cancer and there is a cancer drug called samarium 153 which has been found to be effective in alleviating the pain associated with this kind of cancer. This indicates that samarium itself has anti-inflammatory benefits as well as targeting specific types of cancer cells that seem to have an affinity for the bones and potentially can increase bone health without cancer needing to be a factor in one's experience.
Some say that scandium is the rarest mineral on the planet in quantity due to it being present as a sub-atomic element that obtains or concentrates sunlight. When we receive vitamin d from the photon rays of the sun we also receive scandium which in combination with calcium has direct effects on our genetic sequence. Vitamin D is a hormone that has the most powerful effects on our genetic and epigenetic health which we find that scandium seems to play a significant role as well. It is said by some researchers that the sun produces electromagnetic energy due to it's scandium content which is the 20th most abundant mineral in the sun and whereas hydrogen is the most abundant. It is also involved in calcium metabolism due to the vitamin d metabolic sequence and this indicates that it is important for the development of bone density and hormone health.
Selenium is a potent antioxidant and supports in immune system health. It is suggested by many studies that the human immune system requires selenium for the development of our white blood cells which defend against infections and illness. Selenium seems to protect the cells from free-radical damage from a deficient diet and environmental toxins. Selenium plays a role in the production of proteins that are involved in healthy sperm. Male infertility has been associated in part with low selenium levels as well as other vital elements such as zinc. It has been established that activities such as smoking, excessive alcohol, and taking birth control pills can reduce the availability of selenium in the blood. According to the research selenium is cancer protective and selenium deficiency can leave someone more open to health issues including cancer and other immune system compromised conditions.
Silocon or Silica is most widely known for it's effects on enhancing beautifying qualities such as the rejuvenation of our skin, hair and nails. The collagen and elastin proteins that create the connective-tissue-formation contain high amounts of silica. Silicon(silica) is an alchemical mineral that possesses the ability to rearrange mineral content in our bones, tissues, and the walls of our arteries. This is known as the process of biological transmutation where certain minerals such as calcium can be transmuted or converted into other minerals such as magnesium or silica as the body needs them. Silica has a profound effect on brain health and is a key ingredient in activating what is known as the third eye or in physiological terms our pineal gland which secretes neurotransmitters such as melatonin and DMT. There is convincing research that indicates that silica supports is removing toxins such as heavy metals that can make their way past the blood brain barrier and can offset the effects of neurotoxins such as fluoride that deactivate the pineal gland or third eye. Silica is also important for the health of our joints, ligaments, and overall motor function from the numero-muscular systems of the body.
Silver is the most thermal-conductive(heat transferable) mineral and is said to be the highest electrical conduit of any known element. Ionic silver is anti-pathogenic and helps to eliminate many forms of bacteria, fungal infections, and viruses. The potent germicidal effects of silver can defend against microbial production making it orally protective. Silver is the original natural antibiotic. In World War I silver was used to prevent the onset of dangerous infections. This was as era prior to the invention of conventional pharmaceutical antibiotics. Silver coins were once placed in milk bottles to further the freshness of the milk and eliminate bacteria growth. The people of ancient Rome and Greece both used silver for several purposes, such as the treatment of deep wounds and skin burns. It was also used to disinfect water and food for long term storage. If the immune system has been compromised then regions of the body will be extremely vulnerable to bacterial infections. Ionic silver can aid this by creating a secondary immune system to support the regions of the body that our primary defense shield may not detect. It is rumored that the introduction of silver utensils began with the intent from Europeans to infuse silver particles with their food as a way to improve their health. These particular Europeans were known as the "blue-bloods".
The two most important electrolytes that ignite an electrical charge in our blood chemistry are sodium and potassium. These elements are required together for basic health yet are antipathetical to each other; they oppose one another. If one is on a high raw food vegan diet, specifically large amounts of vegetables and fruits(potassium) they can run the risk of long term metabolic issues regarding sodium deficiencies. the intestines run largely on salt. Stomach acid(hydrochloric acid) is produced, first and foremost, by the presence of salt. When the stomach ph(potential-hydrogen) becomes too alkaline(rises above 2.0) we lose our ability to secrete pepsine in order to create protein splitting enzymes for digestion. We also lose our ability to absorb vitamin b12 through it's intrinsic factor(recycling system). One of the primary culprits for "acid" reflux or gerd(gastroesophogeal reflux disease) is insufficient sodium resulting in low levels of hydrochloric acid.
The healthy maintenance of our tissue fibers, ligaments, muscle tendons, and joints are heavily reliant on sulfur. Nervous system conditions such as palsy, multiple sclerosis, and parkinson's disease are due in part by the break down of the thin protective material that coats our nerve fibers known as the myelin sheath. Once these layers are edged off of our nerve fibers, the nervous system begins to become oxidized from acid-producing oils, foods, false sugars, radiation, EMFs, and other known toxins. Sulfur is critical for collagen synthesis which builds our skin, hair, and nail cells. Sulfur aids an effective liver and helps to scavenge free-radical production in the body. See MSM below to find additional information on this mineral.
Strontium is a very unique element that is associated with the amino acid alanine. One of the most interesting things about strontium is that there has been research conducted to see if this mineral could help regenerate bone cells. These are called osteoblasts which regenerate bones which means that strontium could be a beneficial agent in protecting against osteoporosis and other bone degenerative issues. Strontium also has many other useful benefits.
The mineral tantalum finds it's name in the origin of the greek immortal tantalus, who spent eternity "tantalized" by substances of food and water that he apparently could not eat or drink. I suppose this is to say that tantalum is novel and rare and whatever other associations to this origin is unknown but interesting anyways. Another fun fact is that all of the light bulbs in the ship titanic were made of tantalum filaments which were considered very exceptional at the time.
Like many exotic and lesser known minerals, tellurium does not have a tremendous amount of public information but interesting research has shown that it helps the mineral selenium work to increase immune function and offset viral infections and can be protective in warding off cancer and tumor formations. Interestingly, the compound polonium, in it's radioactive state, that is released from cigarette smoke displaces tellurium and eliminates selenium thus increasing the risk of tumor formations.
Terbium is a unique element that in it's metallic state has been used in multiple applications, some of which include hospital x-rays working with radiation as well as lightbulbs, laser devices, and mercury lamps. This mineral was discovered by a Swedish scientist who had to isolate it in it's individual form. It also has an association to the element lanthanum which is a very interesting mineral that has many effects on our genetic code and is worth the readers investigation.
Thulium is the 69th atomic element in the periodic table of the elements and an atomic number is used to identify the number of protons in the nucleus of that element. It is also in the lanthanide class of minerals which are all very unique and has transmutative or transitionary effects. Lanthanum itself is an extremely interesting mineral and worth everyone's investigation. It's important for this class of minerals to be shielded from the outer environment such as oxygen in the air as they are potentially reactive in their alchemical state and have magnetic properties which indicate a potential benefit for charging the cells in any living organism, such as the human body. Thulium is used in portable X-ray machines and also is used in treating health issues with thulium based lasers.
Thorium, believe it or not, was named after the norse god Thor, the god of thunder and lightening. It is believed that this element carries similar properties as the depicted god in terms of providing strength and power. It is the 90th atomic element on the periodic table of the elements . It's characteristics are that of power, electricity, dynamism, and also instability once it breaks down into a more radioactive form which may indicate that in combination with other stable elements it's power may be maintained and even potentiated but that is a theory and not a documented fact, yet.
When tin is mixed with the metal of copper it forms bronze which is considered a crude or common metal and also is where the term the Bronze Age comes from. We do not know exactly when tin was discovered but it was clearly over thousands of years ago. Tin has been found in Egyptian Tombs, Machu Picchu, and has been in mined out of China as early in history as 700 BCE.
The characteristics of titanium are strength, durability, and flexibility upon the right heat temperature. Titanium has a high heat point making it extremely durable and is one of the transition minerals on the periodic table of elements. Titanium has a high resistance to corrosion which is one of it's trademark qualities.
Tungsten is a very unknown element yet is as common in our daily lives as anything else we can think of. Tungsten is used in incandescent light bulbs, to televisions, to x-ray machines, all the way to radiation shielding. It has an extremely high resistance to high heat and can resist corrosion of acids extremely well. If you can think of something that involves high heat temperatures it may be that tungsten is involved somehow.
This trace mineral has been found to be extremely effective in treating those with pre-diabetes, diabetes and insulin sensitivities. It supports with the absorption of blood sugar transportion into the muscular system as well as reducing elevated cholesterol levels. Vanadium has also been studied in the use of heart disease, tuberculosis, high blood pressure, obesity, anemia, and reducing water retention called edema. It is also been used as a way to support athletic performance and weight training due to all of the physical health benefits listed above.
Ytterbium is considered a rare earth mineral, not that it is rare to find, but that it is hard to separate and individuate. Ytterbium came into discovery through a separation within another mineral cluster as many rare earth minerals seem to do. Ytterbium is used in many applications, again similar to other rare earth minerals, such as x-ray machines, laser devices, and is even added to steel in order to strengthen the metal.
This mineral, like many of the more exotic and lesser known minerals, is considered a total mystery which has left many researchers puzzled. In the legendary book on mineralogy by Charles Walters, the author explains a research story involving a 2002 geneticists study that investigated MS(multiple Sclerosis) discovering that in this case there was damage done to what is known as the myelin sheath. This is the rubbery fat layer that insulates the nerves of our nervous system and in neurodegenerative conditions such as MS the myelin sheath either becomes calcified or slowly broken down. To make a longer story short they discovered that yttrium was the missing element in this matter and that a yttrium deficiency was leading to the protein sequence to go interrupted and thus contributing to the misfiring of the nerves. There are a vast amount of other unique benefits this element plays in the body including playing a major role in selenium based issues such as the thyroid and even influencing the efficacy of probiotic strains of beneficial bacteria in our gut-microbiome.
Zinc is a master trace mineral the body requires for overall metabolic function, brain development, and hormonal health. Zinc is anti-pathogenic and has been shown to be effective in protecting against certain types of fungal and bacterial infections. Zinc is especially protective of the oral environment being anti-gingivitis which indicates that it is important for oral hygiene and teeth health. Zinc is a potent antioxidant that protects against, and seeks out free-radicals in the body making it anti-inflammatory. The immune system requires adequate zinc for immunological protection. It has been studied in relation to hormones and determined to be an aromatase inhibitor inhibiting the conversion of growth hormones such as testosterone and progesterone into break down metabolites of estrogen leading to estrogen dominance. It is also extremely prostate protective and a key molecule for developing healthy forms of testosterone in men.
Most of us know of cubic zirconium as a synthetic gemstone used in jewelry. Many people do not realize it's wide range of uses and that it is a naturally occurring element within the human body, as are all naturally occurring elements we may only think of as technology building blocks or heavy metals in their unnatural form. Zirconium comes from the Arabic word margin, which means golden color.
Note on Heavy Metals, Ormus Elements, & Naturally Occurring Metals in Nature:
In the natural oceans, rivers, and soil matrix there is a full spectrum of occurring minerals or geological metals that we call elements that are all present on the periodic table of the elements. Depending on what form they reside in depends on their qualitative affect on the human body. All minerals analyzed through what is known as a spectrometer or spectroscopic analysis thus what we find on the period table of elements is essential an inaccurate analysis of all the known minerals in nature simply for one fundamental reason. When you put minerals or any other living compound through a heating process to render it into an ash in order to analyze it's base composition it will always turn out inaccurate because what is being analyzed in it's ash/dead form will always be different than what is present in it's living form. Minerals are living elements of that hold their own signature frequency which is the same frequency of the earth or of the ocean depending on where they are sourced from. When a mineral or cast of minerals goes through a high heat treatment process they are molecularly altered and upon analyzing these they often time will show up as entirely different compounds, for example carbon may come up when prior to that there were unknown minerals we call Ormus minerals present in that substance. Ormus minerals are completely unknown forms or energetic versions of other well known minerals that do not show up on the period table of elements because they are living elements and it is a reasonable assumption that they are heat volatile and require hydrogen to pair with otherwise they disappear or are destroyed in some way thus not appearing on conventional forms of mineral analysis. Another point to mention in regards to heavy metals or toxic metals is that metals such as arsenic, cadmium, and lead for example are present in all healthy soil and will show up in some levels in all plants because they are natural compounds that exist within the earths geological crust. These minerals among others are a cause of concern for many and it's important to understand the distinction between organic minerals and inorganic minerals. Organic arsenic, cadmium, lead, cyanide, antimony, etc. Is not the same as inorganic or metallic versions of the same minerals. Plants themselves have a natural way to filter out high dosages of these organic minerals and thus we do not consume high enough amounts of these to cause metabolic disruptions, however we are exposed to the inorganic form of these minerals due to the Industrial Age we live in and the mass amount of pollutants in our air we breath in every day. Plant based chemistry is extremely complex and we are distill discovering the critical distinctions necessary to understand it's alchemical secrets. When it comes to minerals we must be aware of the form or version of that element to discern it's benefit or drawback, whether it is a medicine or a poison, whether it is a naturally occurring mineral or a heavy inorganic metal.

Chinese Covid vax produces immune response in phase 2 trial
Jul. 21, 2020 Updated 12:20 pm. IST
Beijing: A phase 2 trial of a Covid-19 vaccine candidate conducted in China has found that the vaccine is safe and induces an immune response, according to a new study published in the journal The Lancet.
This comes barely 24 hours after on Monday The Lancet only published that a Covid-19 vaccine developed by scientists at the Oxford University produces strong immune responses in both parts of the immune system, showed results of Phase I/II trial.
The results from the Chinese trial provide data from a wider group of participants than the phase 1 trial, which was published in May. Phase 1 trial involved 108 healthy adults and it demonstrated promising results.
"The phase 2 trial adds further evidence on safety and immunogenicity in a large population than the phase 1 trial. This is an important step in evaluating this early-stage experimental vaccine and phase 3 trials are now underway," said study researcher Feng-Cai Zhu, Jiangsu Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention in China.
The Ad5 vectored vaccine in this trial uses a weakened human common cold virus (adenovirus, which infects human cells readily but is incapable of causing disease) to deliver genetic material that codes for the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein to the cells.
These cells then produce the spike protein and travel to the lymph nodes where the immune system creates antibodies that will recognise that spike protein and fight off the coronavirus.
According to the researchers, 508 participants took part in the trial of the new vaccine. Of these, 253 received a high dose of the vaccine, 129 received a low dose and 126 received placebo.
Approximately two-thirds of participants were aged 18-44 years, with a quarter aged 45-54 years, and 13 percent aged 55 years or older
Participants were monitored for immediate adverse reactions for 30 minutes after injection and were followed for any injection-site or systemic adverse reactions within 14- and 28-days post-vaccination.
The trial found that 95 per cent of participants in the high dose group and 91 per cent of the recipients in the low dose group showed either T cell or antibody immune responses at day 28 post-vaccination.
The vaccine-induced a neutralising antibody response in 59 per cent and 47 per cent of participants, and binding antibody response in 96 per cent of participants, in the high and low dose groups, respectively, by day 28.
The participants in the placebo group showed no antibody increase from baseline.
"Since elderly individuals face a high risk of serious illness and even death associated with COVID-19 infection, they are an important target population for a COVID-19 vaccine," said Wei Chen from the Beijing Institute of Biotechnology.
"It is possible that an additional dose may be needed in order to induce a stronger immune response in the elderly population, but further research is underway to evaluate this," Chen added.
The authors noted that the trial was conducted in Wuhan, China, and the baseline immunity is representative of Chinese adults at that time, but other countries may have different rates of immunity which should be considered.(IANS)

Day Boy is a coming of age story set in a world of harsh truths, blood, death and survival.
My first vampire movie fortunately was the 1922 Nosferatu and being a young child I can honestly say it scared the living daylights out of me. However, over many years now, I have come to be disillusioned by modern vampire portrayals, to the point I can say I am no longer a lover of vampire fiction, whether its TV shows, movies or books. The best and most simple way I can describe why is a simple exaggeration: I am walking down the street and a vampire jumps out in front of me. It screams a trite and clichéd line, "I vant to sucka youra blood, bro," which gives me a chuckle. Turning my back I walk away. I know if I looked around I would see a once fearsome, primal creature of myth and legend standing under a shining sun, in designer jeans and leather jacket, languished head in hand sparkling like the diamond he is.
Yes, I understand this is a somewhat sweeping embellishment, but the sheer over-saturation of these once terrifying beasts of imagination in popular fiction has created a melting pot of banal and bland stereotypes.
Thankfully, gratefully, delightedly Trent Jamieson has been able to summon up a vampire novel without relying on the now apologetic modern day Vampire norms. It's also important to note that the actual 'V' word is never used in the book, something for which I am very happy about. Instead, it is left to the reader's own imagination for the most to attach their own words and feelings to the beasts. Jamieson provides the physical definition of the creature and their visage of once humanity, but the impression, thought and the fear of them is left for the night and blood, doled out with a subtle hand and gentle pen.
The world that has been created is highly expressive in its imagery, set within a backdrop of a future Australian country. There is slow, languid feel of the land and the home the characters live in. Dry, rolling heat flows from the page in waves of long days and even longer nights. If I could describe Day Boy in words, it would be to call it a quintessential Australian piece of literature, which draws the reader in a withered and fading outback of a 'to be' Australia, mixing in refined fantasy fiction masterfully.
Mark the main character is a day boy in service and apprenticeship to Dain, a Master, a creature who rules and protects the land and its people. We follow Mark's path as he finishes his indenture and the choices, limited as they are, that are afforded to him. There is a hopelessness, longing and outward fragility to Mark which is contrasted against a desire to rebel, push at the boundaries of his life and tackle the harsh realities of his world head on. He is a character of layers, starving to find his own place in a world and is a wonderfully engaging character to read. Mark's personality and its interaction with Dain, the only father figure in his life make for an interesting dichotomy. A restrained monster with an outward glamour of the last visages of his previous self set against the vitality of the young and the guidelines the older and wiser try to impart.
Each moment of Mark's story is told in the moment and the now, and the consequences there of. Details of the world in which he lives, such as the rise of the Masters are hidden in the lost in the past, a secret tantalizing the reader and just waiting to unfold. It is a sometime failing of stories to indulge the reader with a lengthy backstory and in a series, which may run for three, six or ten books there is a definite benefit. However, Day Boy, as a possible stand-alone novel lays out these moments in such a way that the past can remain just that, the past and it doesn't detract from the story in any way.
Day Boy is a coming of age story set in a world of harsh truths, blood, death and survival. It is a poetic story of humanity, of monsters living in the Shadow of the Mountain, bitter cold and open to the burning of the clear night sky.

Ice Machines: Save Energy, Save Water
Picture different jurisdictions and entities staking out their territories and trying to raise the bar, and you'll picture what's been happening in the commercial ice-machine business. Effective Jan. 1, 2010, you'll have a base-line federal minimum standard for energy efficiency. Then apart from that, there's been the California Energy Commission standard in that state. And then there's the Energy Star standard, which addresses both energy and water consumption.
Interestingly, all three standards have a common ancestor.
A few years back, the Consortium for Energy Efficiency, a broad coalition of industry, government and academic experts, began working on a new set of efficiency standards for ice machines. In the process, CEE coordinated with several organizations, including the Air-Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Institute. AHRI was a great partner, in that it had been testing and rating its members' ice machines for energy and water use for years. AHRI's standard 810-2006, which measures harvest rate, energy use per day, and water use per 100 lbs. of ice produced, has generated a wealth of data to work from, and you can check it out at ahridirectory.org/ahridirectory/pages/home.aspx.
With input from a wide array of stakeholders, then, CEE developed a three-tiered system of efficiency standards for commercial ice machines. The CEE's tier-one standards, which address energy consumption only, were quickly adopted by the California Energy Commission and have already been in place in that state for two years.
As California's new standards were going into effect, the Environmental Protection Agency was working hard to get its Energy Star standard nailed down, too. Since the CEE had already done the work of establishing three tiers of energy efficiency, the EPA set Tier 2, which addresses both energy and water consumption, as the Energy Star standard.
New Fed Standard Matches California's
Coinciding roughly with all that, the Energy Policy Act of 2005 called for the Department of Energy to set a federal standard for ice machines, to be effective this coming Jan. 1. With no need to reinvent the wheel, DOE lighted on standards essentially identical to California's. As a result of all that, there are already far more than 200 commercial ice-machine models that meet or exceed the minimum efficiency requirements. As of the first of the year, you won't be able to buy an ice maker that doesn't meet the specs.
All of which is good for you, the ice-machine user. And it's even better for Energy Star customers. Remember, the thing about the Energy Star (and the even tougher CEE Tier 3) standards is that like those for dishwashers, they set specs for both energy and water use. The specs in the table mean that most Energy Star-qualified ice machines will use about 15% less energy and 10% less water than standard machines.
Those percentages translate to savings of about 1,160kWh/year and 2,700 gals./year of water, which works out to about $110 annually, give or take. Add in the various incentive programs in many parts of the country, and you've got yourself a clear advantage. For info on one type of incentive, rebates, go to energystar.gov/cfsrebate_locator. At press time there were 181 different utilities, coast to coast, offering rebates. And that doesn't count other kinds of incentives.
More Advances Coming Soon
Keep in mind, too, some ice machines on the market already meet CEE's Tier 3 standards. In general these will be at least another 15% more energy efficient and 10% more water efficient than Energy Star units. Depending on how quickly other models catch up to these efficiency standards now that CEE's Tier 1 has become the federal minimum, Energy Star may revisit its criteria soon and up the ante. (For a listing of standards in all three CEE tiers, go to cee1.org/com/com-kit/ice-specs.pdf.)
And keep your eyes open for developments in water-cooled machines, and nugget and flaker units. As soon as a test method for these types of machines is available and a good size database is built, EPA plans to issue rating criteria for those new categories as well. AHRI recently updated and revised its test methods to include nugget and flake machines and is expected to have a new data set for EPA to consider by the end of the year or early next.

Police Say They're Confident Following Arrest For Lyn Dawson's Murder
ROLLING COVERAGE:
Chris Dawson will face Parramatta Court tomorrow.
The Dawson family has released a statement regarding today's arrest.
NSW Police have addressed the media, following news of an arrest made in relation to the disappearance of Sydney mother Lyn Dawson in 1982.
A 70-year-old man, Lyn's former husband Chris Dawson, was arrested in the Gold Coast this morning, with the man now in custody and awaiting extradition to NSW.
NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller said that the Homicide Squad's Unsolved Homicide Unit established Strike Force Scriven in 2015 to re-investigate the circumstances of Lyn Dawson's disappearance from her Northern Beaches home and possible homicide.
Detectives arrested the 70-year-old man at Biggera Waters on the Gold Coast just before 8am today.
"That warrant was executed this morning and the 70-year-old man was arrested," NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller said.
The Commissioner said that additional evidence included statements from witnesses that helped tie the pieces together, with two new statements.
It has been confirmed that Lyn's body has not been located.
"We won't give up on trying to identify the whereabouts of Lynette Dawson," Commissioner Fuller said.
It was noted that the 70-year-old man came quietly with police and was taken to a local watchhouse.
He is currently waiting to go before the court to face extradition to Sydney.
A dig was undertaken at Lyn's former Bayview home in September this year.
Police today confirmed that the dig didn't provide any additional information.
"We would dearly have liked to find the body of Lynette, not just for the (legal) brief but to return her to her family.
"We hope to have him (70-year-old man) back in NSW in the coming days."
Police said that additional statements were the by-product of the media and the work that the media has done, since the brief was submitted in April.
There are some theories in terms of finding her body, and they haven't given up hope.
Homicide Squad Commander Detective Superintendent Scott Cook said that there have been murder convictions without the body being found before.
"There have been additional statements taken from other witnesses," Det Spt Cook said.
The two additional statements are not crucial but are corroborative.
"Lynettes family are relived but are concerned about their privacy and ask that it is respected," he said.
On the topic of the 70-year-old's arrest this morning, Det Spt Cook had the following to say:
"I'm told that he was calm and a little bit taken aback."

Roger Ailes, Ex-Fox News CEO, Dies At 77
A Trump advisor, Ailes was known as the GOP kingmaker who transformed Fox News into a ratings powerhouse by pushing a conservative agenda.
Roger Ailes, the disgraced ex-Fox News chairman and CEO who transformed the network into a powerful mouthpiece for the right, has died. "I am profoundly sad and heartbroken to report that my husband, Roger Ailes, passed away this morning," his wife, Elizabeth, said in a statement, according to CNN. "Roger was a loving husband to me, to his son Zachary, and a loyal friend to many. He was also a patriot, profoundly grateful to live in a country that gave him so much opportunity to work hard, to rise — and to give back."
Ailes was ousted from the network last summer over charges of sexual harassment, but went on to advise Donald Trump for the presidential debates. His departure came after Gretchen Carlson, a former Fox anchor, sued him on charges of sexual harassment, and then other women came forward to support her claims, notes CNN. "Carlson settled with 21st Century Fox, the network's parent company, for $20 million," noting there had been at least six instances when Ailes talked about her body, intimidated her or used demeaning language, the report says. Ailes denied wrongdoing.
Before founding the network from scratch in 1996, Ailes worked as a political strategist, including serving as a top advisor to the Richard M. Nixon presidential campaign in 1968. In 1970, Ailes wrote, A Plan for Putting the GOP on TV News, a 300-page memo that sowed the seeds for his future enterprise.

Derek has always had a passion for music: instrumentally and vocally. From the age of six, Derek was singing George Strait, Kenny Rogers, to Glen Campbell. In addition to vocals, Derek has played a wide range of instruments in all levels of the public school system in the St. Louis, Missouri metro area (trumpet, banjo, guitar, saxophone, harmonica, baritone, and piano). With the diversity of instrument experience, this gives Derek a wide range of styles and patterns to pull from while writing, performing, and composing songs.
Derek enjoys writing creative lyrics that have a simple cadence. Moreover, turning a negative quality or situation into a comical play on words is also a goal for Derek. The country music listener has always accepted this notion with open arms. Some of Derek's influences: Garth Brooks, George Strait, Billy Joel, Randy Travis, Brad Paisley, Keith Whitley, Alabama, Eric Clapton, Eagles, Alan Jackson, Toby Keith, Frank Sinatra, 80's rock. Derek can best be described as a contemporary country style with some traditional taste of country music embedded into his sound and feel. Most comments from fans are a cross between Brad Paisley and Dierks Bentley style/sound, but of course, Derek prefers to have his unique sound to stand out from the rest of the pack.
Derek Anthony is eager to broaden his musical career into the mass market appeal and produce memorable music that embrace emotion, fun, and touches the hearts of millions of fans. Derek is a contemporary country artist and launching his sophomore album "Cowboy Way" under his own label B L U A N T Music Group in the fall of '13. We are proud to report "Cowboy Way" the single was on radio for 27 straight weeks in the U.S. and the U.K. Derek puts his heart and soul into his label, his fans, and his music. With Steve Mandile producing the album in Nashville, this album will be as strong as any artist in the business. The title track "Cowboy Way" has been selected by the Dallas Cowboys to be played at all the home games. All of Derek's music can be found on all the major musical websites. Derek has opened up for Dierks Bentley, Kansas, Josh Turner, Miranda Lambert, Pat Green, and many others!
Derek is a current resident of Dallas/Fort Worth, TX and performs across the U.S. to grow his fan base. Derek is also very active on the web with social media, so be sure to follow the activity.
Derek is a supporter of the NOCC. Ovarian Cancer is the silent killer and the awareness must increase. "Ovarian Cancer is more than a woman's disease". Derek is working with the Dallas/Ft Worth chapter president and also the national NOCC office. Derek will be performing at several Run/Walk's for the NOCC throughout the U.S. Please see www.whyteal.org for more information about the non-profit organization.


The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) that oversees Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac announced that the 2018 conforming loan limits will increase from $424,100 to $453,100 for a single family residence (higher limits are available for 2-4 unit properties). This is great news for anyone needing a reduced down payment or guideline flexibility that is not readily available with jumbo financing. The change is effective with closings after January 1.
As for VA loans, they have historically followed conforming loan limits so there is every reason to believe they will also raise their limits to the new higher amount as well.


Welcome May! Welcome days of May and all they bring!
I started AT THE FRONT of the bus and was literally pushing the bus away as I moved to its side as it turned into me. I'm TOUCHING THE BUS!! From the front to its side as it pushes its way into me, forcing me to flea in seconds back to the curb (we started in the middle of the crosswalk). I remember thinking; "oh my gosh, this is going to hurt. I'm going under!" I wasn't worried about dying. I was worried about the pain. I could see in seconds how easily one could get pulled under considering the angle and how it was turning into me. It all, like most accidents (or near accidents) happened in seconds. The bus driver stopped up the street but never got out, but people driving in the opposite direction ran from their vehicles to make sure I was okay. It was frightening. Shocking. And today as I relive the experience I still shake my head in awe that it even happened and that I'm okay.
That's the thing with near accidents. It's frightening to think about the chance of what could have happened. It revives a sense of gratitude and appreciation for life, our health and well being, family and friends. I didn't need a severe injury to reclaim my sense of purpose and appreciation for life, health and people in my life. Maybe that's why I wasn't injured. Maybe I just needed something to put things in perspective; or maybe the bus driver needed to be reprimanded to avoid future incidents. It's not always about us. We are all connected. Even the people that fled from their vehicles were part of it all. Maybe something shifted in them that day. All I know is that I'm grateful that nothing serious happened.
This month I'd like to suggest bringing to your awareness how interconnected we all are and being conscious of that. Be aware of your actions and how you spread your energy. Try to be conscious of avoiding negative patterns and words; for they send out a nasty signal and impact us and the people around us more than we are even conscious of. Try to UPLIFT. BE OPTIMISTIC. GRATEFUL. This month I'm getting back to my roots of writing on a daily basis 5 things I'm grateful for. Wanna join me??? I've been working with mantras lately, too which I feel keep me in a sacred space and help uplift my energy/vibration. Any type of ritual you can create this month and going forward to keep you in the space of gratitude and positivity will help you tremendously. I guarantee!
Side note…keeping your eye out for large moving objects is helpful too. Wink, wink. Second side note: there is a video of the bus incident! The supervisor from the transportation office said it is frightening to look at and that "thank god" I was aware enough to see and respond so quickly. She said had I been texting or distracted it would have been horrific. Ummmmm. Please, please learn from this all of you that text while you drive or while crossing the street (especially you all in Fort Lee, NJ where it is not illegal to walk while texting — oh my goodness). Hope my story creates a little (or a lot) of awareness.
Okay. GRATITUDE. AWARENESS. APPRECIATION. POSITIVITY. That's the mantra this month. Got it? I DO!!
Now, we have to have music to get us in the mood, don't you think?
Let's accompany the music with my other obsession. Aromatherapy. How about a little Uplifting Room Spray. It's my favorite to use this time of year. The Ylang Ylang and Rose Geranium remind me of the all the gorgeous flowers I smell on my walks in Santa Monica. YUMMY. You'll love!!
I am grateful for you all and wish that you have the most delightful and love filled month ever.

In jazz, the term upper structure or "upper structure triad" refers to a voicing approach developed by jazz pianists and arrangers defined by the sounding of a major or minor triad in the uppermost pitches of a more complex harmony.

Examples

Example 1: Below, a common voicing used by jazz pianists is given for the chord C79 (C major chord with a minor 7th, and extended with an augmented 9th).

In the lower stave the notes E and B are given. These form a tritone which defines the dominant sound, and are the major 3rd and minor 7th of the C79 chord.

In the upper stave the notes E, G, and B are given together: these form an E major triad.

This E major triad is what would be called the upper structure. Considered in relation to the root C, the notes of this E major triad function, respectively, as the sharpened ninth (the root of the E major chord), fifth, and seventh in relation to that root.

(Note: the root C is omitted here, and is often done so by jazz pianists for ease of playing, or because a bass player is present.)

Example 2: The following example illustrates the notes of an F minor triad functioning as part of a C13911 chord (C major chord with a minor 7th, minor 9th, augmented 11th, and major 13th):

In relation to the root of C, the C (enharmonic with D) functions as the minor 9th, the F as the augmented 11th, and the A as the major 13th, respectively.

Application

Determining which additional pitches can be juxtaposed with the chord is achieved by considering the relationship between a particular chord and the scale it implies. An example follows:

The chord C13911 contains the following notes, from the root upwards: C, E, G, B, D, F, A;
The following octatonic scale contains all of these pitches, and fits/matches up with the C13911 chord: C–D–D–E–F–G–A–B–C; these scale elements form a pool from which melodic and harmonic devices might be devised.

Shorthand notation

Common jazz parlance refers to upper structures by way of the interval between the root of the bottom chord and the root of the triad juxtaposed above it. For instance, in example one above (C79) the triad of E major is a (compound) minor 3rd away from C (root of the bottom chord). Thus, this upper structure can be called upper structure flat three, or USIII for short.

Other possible upper structures are:

USII – e.g. D major over C7, resulting in C1311
USV – e.g. G major over C7, resulting in C7911
USVI – e.g. A major over C7, resulting in C7913
USVI – e.g. A major over C7, resulting in C139
USi – e.g. C minor over C7, resulting in C79
USii – e.g. D minor over C7, resulting in C7913
USiii – e.g. E minor over C7, resulting in C7911

The second item in the list above (C7911) has a related version called upper structure sharp four minor--with the written shorthand USiv--created with an F minor triad. (See "Example 2" above.)

Nassaukade 17 te Amsterdam is een gebouw aan de Nassaukade in Amsterdam-West.

Het pand stamt uit 1881 en is ontworpen door de timmerman, aannemer en architect Johannes Engelfriet (Rotterdam, 1851 - aldaar, 1934). Hij woonde er ook enige maanden met zijn gezin, maar na een paar maanden vertrok hij mede vanwege een faillissement weer terug naar Rotterdam. Hij ontwierp voor dit stukje twee bijna identieke (maar gespiegelde) gebouwen, Nassaukade 17 en 18. De ontwerpen zijn niet toe te wijzen aan een speciale bouwstijl; zijn ingedeeld onder eclectische bouwkunst. Beide zijn rijk gedecoreerd met beeldhouwwerken in de gevel. Het gebouw huisnummer 17 werd 18 november 2008 tot gemeentelijk monument verklaard.

Een van de redenen daarvoor is terug te vinden in de portiek. Net als de gevel is ze rijk versierd. In de portiek zijn twee figuratieve en twee abstracte tegeltableaus geplaatst, die vervaardigd zijn door de plateelfabriek De Distel; de naam van de fabriek is onderaan de figuratieve afbeeldingen te lezen. Weergegeven zijn ganzen en flamingo's. De tableaus behoren tot de stijl art nouveau. De tableaus dateren uit de periode 1895 tot 1923, jaren van oprichting en verkoop van de fabriek.

Carmel Women Saved from Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
By Staff | November 15, 2017
Garbled texts alerted daughter that something wrong
Two women were rescued on Nov. 13 after they fell unconscious in their Carmel home due to carbon monoxide poisoning.
One of the two women texted her daughter, who lives outside the area. As the messages became incoherent, police say, the daughter tried phone. Getting no answer, she called a friend and asked her to check on her mother, 61, and grandmother, 89, at the house on North Gate Road.
The friend heard the sound of a carbon monoxide alarm going off and could see the grandmother lying unconscious on the floor near the front door. The friend called 911.
Carmel Police Department Officer James Terrazas, Carmel Fire Department Firefighter Joseph Fernandez and Putnam County Sheriff's Deputy Andrew Kristan responded and removed the 89-year-old victim from the home. They found the 61-year-old resident unconscious in a back bedroom.
The women were taken to Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla and are expected to recover.
"The two women are very fortunate to be alive," said Carmel Police Chief Michael Cazzari in a statement. "Had the woman not received the garbled texts or, even having received them, had she not acted swiftly on her concern by having the friend check on her mother and grandmother, the victims would have eventually succumbed to the poison gas."
Officials believe that the high level of carbon monoxide gas in the home was caused by a faulty connection in an exhaust pipe leading from a propane gas burner used to heat the home. According to the Carmel Volunteer Fire Department, readings taken in the house indicated a concentration level of carbon monoxide gas, which cannot be smelled or seen, in the air of 1,800 parts per million (ppm). The typical level of carbon monoxide in a home ranges from 3 to 6 ppm.
Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning may be flu-like and may include a reddened face, dull headache, weakness. dizziness, nausea or vomiting, shortness of breath, confusion, blurred vision and loss of consciousness. Cazzari reminded residents to ensure that they have working carbon monoxide and smoke detectors in their homes. He also reminded everyone to be sure to regularly replace batteries in detectors and to check the expiration dates on the devices.


Just laying in a small supply.

Mahama's Cargate: Matters Arising
By Thaddeus Ulzen, Dr.
LISTEN JUL 9, 2016
Good leadership is multi-dimensional and hard to define but most management experts can identify a few core characteristics that we can all intuitively hang our hats on.
Articulating a clear guiding vision for the enterprise being led is one of them. Having a well-defined mission is another. Assembling a competent team is a good idea. Focusing on one key issue and sustaining change on that issue is key to instituting change. In our environment, the key issue is non-application of our laws and related to this is endemic corruption. In this case, the enterprise in question is the well-being and prosperity of about 25 million people in a country once called Ghana that is not entirely recognizable as such any more. For many decades the brand of this enterprise was associated with a bold, almost grandiose forward looking vision rooted in the very idea of excellence in all aspects of its activities. Generally, its leaders though with differing political ideologies, held the very idea of excellence as a national ethos at the center of all our national pursuits. Being the first to be free from colonial domination in Black Africa, being the leading exporter of cocoa in the world, creating the largest man-made lake in the world at the time, having the fastest woman in the world, on and on and on. This was the brand. If you announced anywhere that you were a Ghanaian, it was assumed you were smart and the best at whatever you did. Everyone seemed articulate, the creative arts flourished and our athletes were fearless in competition. Second place simply wasn't good enough. As my late father, E. A. Ulzen of blessed memory from our greatest generation would say, "failure is not an option."
So what is expected of those who offer themselves as leaders of such a storied franchise with an unlikely symbol of a Black Star that shines in the night? I must say, our history is not one without blemishes, for way back in the 60s, in the midst of all the firsts, we had a moniker "Ghana - land of the dash."
Along with our national identity of fast paced achievements, was this lingering backdrop of bribery, gift giving and yes, begging (oh, dash me something or as for this one, you will leave it with me).
The origins of this pervasive idea that tokens of some sort must be presented at decision points in a transaction remain obscure. Through the 18th and 19th centuries the Dutch paid "kostgeld" annually to all the chiefs of Elmina for unspecified services and cooperation and also paid "rent" annually to the Asantehene, for Elmina Castle which was on the land of his military ally on the coast.
In any event, whether the Ford Expedition which was presented to H.E. John D. Mahama was a gift or a bribe remains to be determined. This matter cannot simply be allowed to whither on the vine and disappear without proper accounting.
We live in a constitutional democracy and all our actions must be guided only by that standard. For all the freedoms that are freely exercised on the airwaves, we must be mindful of the fact that all freedoms, rights and privileges of citizenship come with responsibilities.
The constitution is unambiguous about presidential conduct that merits censure or dismissal from office. Chapter 8; Section 69
(1) The President shall be removed from office if he is found, in accordance with the provisions of this article -
(a) to have acted in willful violation of the oath of allegiance and the presidential oath set out in the Second Schedule to, or in willful violation of any other provision of, this Constitution; or (b) to have conducted himself in a manner - (i) which brings or is likely to bring the high office of President into disrepute, ridicule or contempt; ……
It is clear that actions that cause ridicule, disrepute and embarrassment to Civitatis Ghanesis should result in parliamentary legislative actions to investigate such occurrences. Is there enough political will to proceed with impeachment? If the president has done nothing wrong, then he should welcome a lawful and transparent process to clear his name and the now apparently sullied office of the president. He is not a hereditary chieftain. He is a constitutionally chosen leader and must abide by the constitution. Article 284 of the 1992 Constitution of Ghana states, "A public officer shall not put himself in a position where his personal interest conflicts or is likely to conflict with the performance of the functions of his office." In this matter involving the Burkinabe contractor, Mr. Kanazoe, at a minimum, his actions represent poor judgement and at worst, if proven, a criminal act attracting appropriate punishment. His own record of dealing with wayward appointees has been prosaic and consistent with poor leadership, guided by political expediency and crony capitalism.
The opposition have a constitutional duty to initiate impeachment proceedings against him even if they are not likely to succeed, because we cannot cherry pick from our laws and give preferential treatment to some above others. It is only through due process, that the integrity of the presidency be will be preserved.
Students of organizational behavior and dynamics tell us that such events are often not isolated incidents but likely an indication of a culture of management which covertly or blatantly approves such conduct within its ranks. This Ford Expedition symbolizes a larger problem which will be laid bare, with lawful inquiry. If this does not happen, then we are all guilty of receiving this gift or bribe whether we like it or not.
Curiously, the Ghana Bar Association has not offered an interpretation of the constitution on the issue of the president receiving a gift or a bribe. They were also silent when the BNI stole defendants away after a court of law had granted them bail in the NPP/ South African security trainers' debacle. However, recently when judges were allegedly threatened on the airwaves, they piped up. Has the GBA become a self-serving organization? There was a time when the GBA educated the public on the legal implications of matters of public interest.
The president's remarks following these revelations have been pedestrian, to say the least. Some of them have been indicative of poor judgment. His remark that he prefers Toyota to American cars was most unfortunate, and unbecoming of a leader of a country with multiple trading partners. Besides the comment is not relevant to the issue of whether the Ford Expedition should have been accepted by the president. He defends himself by saying frequently that "it is God who chooses kings." First of all, Ghana is not a Kingdom and secondly this remark diminishes the importance of every single vote in our democracy.
At a minimum, the president has compromised the highest office in the land by creating the appearance of a conflict of interest and that is not defensible. He should have known better.
As a product of a political party that has essentially superintended over a steady decline in the fortunes of the country, there seems to be little basis for another 4 years of this cynical and transactional administration. We are in a democracy and others may have a completely different assessment of Mr. Mahama's stewardship. This coming election provides the best opportunity to break away from the culture of corruption, impunity and lawlessness which has been fostered and nurtured over the past 6 years under Mr. Mahama's leadership. Realistically, the main opposition NPP, and the distant third PPP along with the more regional PNC must present clear pathways and programs of transformation of our processes because the therein lies the problem. The CPP's current leadership appears to be on the wrong side of this issue and the party is so fractured that it is unlikely to be a factor in this election. Who is best equipped to manage the task of transforming our processes best? The veteran politician Mr. Akuffo-Addo of the NPP or Dr. Nduom of the PPP, who is steadily gaining attention from voters but has a steep hill to climb. The next election should really be about the ethical management of our economy and the transformation of our value system as a nation and our culture of governance. It should be less about ideology.
Ghana is in sore need of defined leadership in change management and more significantly change leadership from individuals in the political space who are proven to be ethical in their public dealings and also skilled in large scale effective leadership. We should not forget that the inspiring leadership of the first republic was eventually felled by poor management of our economy.
