Tasmania's beautiful and scenic roads are a major attraction for motorcyclists from around Australia and the world, but being unfamiliar with our roads can cause injury or even death.
That is why the majority Hodgman Liberal Government is partnering with the Spirit of Tasmania, the motorcycle community, Road Safety Advisory Council and local tourism providers to educate visiting riders about the key points of staying safe on Tasmanian roads.
Our vision is for Tasmania to be recognised as a world-leading destination of choice for motorcyclists taking advantage of our quiet, yet challenging roads and enjoying our award winning scenery and produce.
Unfortunately motorcyclists are over-represented in crash statistics with almost 250 visiting riders involved in crashes in the past five years, largely because they are unfamiliar with our challenging terrain and changeable conditions. Worse still, there have been seven deaths.
Compared to Tasmanian motorcyclists, visitors are not as familiar with our roads and they have a higher proportion of crashes involving running off the road, especially on corners. Fatigue and resulting inattention may also be contributing factors to crashes.
Two new motorcycling safety films are now targeting visiting motorcyclists as they make their way across Bass Strait on the Spirit of Tasmania.
The short films feature well-known adventurer and motorcycling guru Charley Boorman and Tasmanian motorcyclist and Tasmanian Fire Service Regional Chief Jeff Harper, sharing their experiences on their bikes and how to stay safe.
Information is also provided by an informative webpage and promoted through our partners' social media networks, our network of visitor information centres and in Tasmanian Motorcycle Travel Guides.
The Hodgman Liberal Government has set a bold target of 1.5 million tourists by 2020 and we know that motorcyclists spend more time in regional Tasmania. This campaign is just one way we are trying to keep both Tasmanians and our visitors safe on our roads.


Pearl Jam kicked off their 2013 tour with a high-octane two-and-half-hour show in Pittsburgh last night. Playing the Steel City for the first time in seven years, the band opened with the atmospheric "Pendulum," a cut from their forthcoming album, Lightning Bolt, which is out on Tuesday. The mellow vibe continued with "Nothingman" and "Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town," but was cast aside when the band broke out the new album's title track and "Mind Your Manners," a breakneck tune that served as its first single.
Vedder inserted a "Let's Go Franco" chant at the end of Daughter in reference to the legendary Steelers running back Franco Harris. "Infallible" and "Let the Records Play" – another two cuts from Lightning Bolt – made their live debut before Pearl Jam closed out the twenty-song opening set with a thunderous "Rearviewmirror" timed to hypnotic stage lighting.
Seated for the second encore, Pearl Jam juxtaposed the brand new "Yellow Moon," a Pink Floyd-inspired ballad, with "Footsteps," a b-side that was one of the band's first three songs in the legendary "Momma-Son" trilogy. The boys from Seattle ratcheted up the energy and continued the evening's sports theme when Vedder introduced Pirates pitcher Jason Grilli, who stomped around stage playing air guitar to "Whipping." Vedder then led the crowd sing-along on "Betterman" ahead of a fiery "Porch" that featured brilliant guitar work from Mike McCready.
Answering calls for a second encore, Pearl Jam rocked Ten staples "Black" and "Alive" with the same intensity they showed when those tracks rocketed them to fame twenty plus years ago. In typical fashion, they turned the house lights on for the finale and proceeded to tear through Neil Young's "Rocking in the Free World." As McCready hit the familiar first notes of the standard closer "Yellow Ledbetter," Vedder promised it wouldn't be another seven years before the band returned to Pittsburgh. Pearl Jam continues their 25-date tour tonight in Buffalo, New York.

The World Atheist Conference 2018 conducted on January 5th to 7th 2018 at Trichy – Kamimozhi's dubious talk about her visit to Tirumala (3)
Photo courtesy: TTD
Kanimozhi entering temple…
At Kalyana katta, where, devotees are given free tonsure – Kanimozhi seen listening to Venkauya Naidu.
The women members had symbolic tonsure just cutting few strands of hair-bits or touching with scissors!
The women members went in a queue – Kani in her turn!
Kanimozhi's visit to Tirumala in 2012 and criticism made in 2017: Kanimozhi, the Rajya Sabha MP claimed that she visited Tirumala, as a member of the Committee under Venkaiah Naidu, during her controversial speech made at the WAC, Trichy on 06-01-2018. She had claimed that she had recently visited the popular Tirupati Tirumala temple in Andhra Pradesh[1]. Kanimozhi said she, along with some other MPs, was taken to the temple by Vice President Venkaiah Naidu, as a part of a Home Affairs Committee, through a special route arranged for the group[2]. "If you give more money and buy a ticket you get special dharsanam [visit]. If not, you stand for 10 hours, 20 hours or two days. That is god………He (accompanied MP) told me that all their wishes are being granted and they are being protected…I then asked him, there is a money collection box right in front of the god. Why is there a security personnel with a stun gun protecting it? People who run the temple are not confident that god can protect the money collection box. Why should I believe in god?"….." When TNM contacted Kanimozhi she was unfazed by the opposition that the speech has garnered[3]. "Whatever happens, I will face it legally. I said this at an Atheist Conference," she says[4]. This made me to dig into her visit, because, as an atheist, she should not have visited the temple. The background of the visit and the details are as follows.
Why and how Kanimozhi visited Tirumala and also SHAR, and Kalpakkam in November 2012?: As a part of a Home Affairs Committee, kanimozhi visited the Tirumala temple on November 12, 2012. The team paid a visit to both –
the pilgrim-choked Vaikuntam queue complexes,
Kalyanakatta and
Matrusri Tarigonda Vengamamba free meals complex and
the TTD-run Aswini hospital[5].
Prominent among others who were present were included members of the committee –
Kanimozhi,
Raman Deka,
Santosh Chowdary,
Ravneet Singh,
Neeraj Sekhar,
TTD Executive Officer L.V. Subramanyam,
JEO K.S. Srinivasa Raju,
CVSO G.V.G. Ashok Kumar
and others[6].
The Parliamentary Standing Committee on Home Affairs headed by BJP leader Venkaiah Naidu on Friday (November 12, 2012) expressed satisfaction over the security arrangements being made by the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) atop the sacred shrine of Lord Venakteswara. Talking to media persons, Mr. Naidu said that the committee has been visiting several important places in the country, including Tirumala, SHAR, and Kalpakkam to study the existing security mechanism at all the places. He said that the committee was also scheduled meet the top brass of the TTD officials, intelligence officials and the officials of the State Home Department on Saturday in Tirupati wherein issues relating to disaster management and security mechanism will be discussed. Besides this, the committee will also discuss issues relating to the marine security in the coastal belt apart from the proposal to bring Tirumala under the 'no-fly' zone category. The TTD authorities on their part explained to the team the various initiatives being adopted by the temple administration towards crowd management, queue system and the amenities being extended to pilgrims visiting Tirumala.
Kanimozhi had special darsham tirth, prasad and saree: There have been many official reports, videos of the TTD and TV channels, News reports in English and Telugu as to why she visited the temple, what she did and other details:
Kanimozhi visited the Tirumala temple on November 12, 2012 as a part of a Home Affairs Committee, to inspect the security arrangements being made by the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD).
She met the top brass of the TTD officials, intelligence officials and the officials of the State Home Department on Saturday in Tirupati wherein issues relating to disaster management and security mechanism.
She verified the various initiatives being adopted by the temple administration towards crowd management, queue system and the amenities being extended to pilgrims visiting Tirumala.
She had gone to Kalyanakatta where tonsure is made that involves hygiene and other issues. When two women member had symbolic tonsure, she was there and joined them.
Went to Pushkarni to note the maintenance, refilling of water etc.
She had special darshan of Sri Venkatswara, had tirth and prasadam. She also received a saree given by the TTD.
Went to free-meals section, inspected the vessels for the cooking of food that is fed to thousands daily.
Went to laddu counter, where, laddu and other prasadams were given free to her.
She visited the temple to pray Sri Venkateswara to clear all problems, she was facing.
Kanimozhi crossing Vaikundam entry entrance….
Reaching "Way to Darshan"!!!!
What Kanimozhi spoke on 06-01-2018 at the WAC: From 12-11-2012 to 06-01-2018, what happened to he exposes her psyche.
What Kanimozhi talked Comments
"If you give more money and buy a ticket you get special dharsanam [visit]. First of all, as an atheist, you should not have visited the temple.
As even when non-Hindus visit, they sign a form that I believe in Sri Venkateswara, you must have signed.
If not, Venkaiya Naidu should be held responsible for violating the norms.
As they went to inspect, evidently, they signed.
If not, you stand for 10 hours, 20 hours or two days. That is god……… You should have waited, paid and went side, but, you enjoyed VVVVIP darshan! Shame, atheist, shame!!
That is Kanimozhi, the principle-less atheist, and thus,anti-Hindu!
He (accompanied MP) told me that all their wishes are being granted and they are being protected…I then asked him, there is a money collection box right in front of the god. Why is there a security personnel with a stun gun protecting it? The Telugu people explicitly answered that people like you might loot, that is why they stand with guns.
Moreover, as you had gone there to inspect the security aspects, you could not have made such idiotic statement!
People who run the temple are not confident that god can protect the money collection box. Why should I believe in god?"….." Shame on you, idiotic that we have MP like you and allowing you inside the temple.
Perhaps, you had gone inside to know the security arrangement to attack!
If that God does not protect, I say that God is not there….. Had you gone there to inspect the security aspects, or the existence of Go?
Your blabbering exposes your honesty, integrity and sincerity as a MP.
Thus, it is evident that by all means, the MP has lost her credibility and she should be stripped of MP post or she should resign immediately.
Inspecting the "Free Meals – Prasad Hall"….
Posing for photo before "Annadhana Hall, building"
Coming out…………………."If you do not believe……why you enter the temple, had darshan, taken tirth and prasad, the saree……………..prayed to him to remove your problems?". The AP people openly revealed that she came here to pray "Venkayya" to relieve her from 2G case!
Complaints made against Kanimozhi: The local BJP leaders led by former TTD Board member G Bhanu Prakash Reddy submitted a written complaint to Urban ASP Srinivasulu against DMK MP Kanimozhi here on Thursday, (11-01-2018) for hurting the religious beliefs of Hindus[7]. She made adverse comments on the Lord Venkateswara at Tirumala at a Tiruchi meeting in Tamil Nadu[8]. Rayalaseema Porata Samithi (RPS) convener P Naveen Kumar Reddy has condemned the DMK MP comments against the presiding deity of Tirumala. He demanded that the state government's Endowments department take legal action against Kanimozhi. The RPS activists staged a dharna near Alipiri. Ironically, in Tamilnadu, the so-called Hindutwavadis, Sangh-parivar, BJPwalas and other "Hindus" have been keeping quite for unknown reasons. The foreign delegates and other responsible delegates who attended the WAC should take care of the facts.

O-Zone: What's next
John Oehser
JACKSONVILLE – Let's get to it …
Joseph from Jacksonville
It's SAD watching this team play. What's even sadder is there's no clear plan on how to fix this team. What's the front office going to do if they're still here?
There's no such thing as a "clear" offseason plan to fix an NFL team unless the team is gifted a Hall-of-Fame quarterback in his prime, which rarely happens. You identify needs, and address them the best you can in free agency and the draft – ideally the draft. The Jaguars' offseason will undoubtedly focus on addressing quarterback, offensive line and wide receiver – and perhaps tight end. There will be some departures on defense, but a lot of players will return. The good news is the team is not devoid of talent, particularly on defense. There is some heavier lifting to be done on offense – some strikingly heavy lifting, in fact. Stay tuned.
Clayton from Gambier, OH
Can't do anything offensively with this line ...
It ain't easy.
Bill from Jacksonville
The issues on this team, especially the offense, go well beyond injuries, John. Well beyond. I hope the front office can see that. Unfortunately, I don't think they do. Thanks for reading!
Injuries being a major issue this season doesn't mean there won't be issues to address in the offseason. The two concepts can coexist. Even if the injuries hadn't hurt this team, there was going to be offseason work to be done offensively. But every team has issues every offseason. Your email implies the Jaguars won't address them. That's an incorrect implication.
Ben from Jacksonville
We could put Tom Brady back there and it wouldn't help. Our offensive line is horrible and we have zero weapons to throw to. Also, can we please fire A.J Cann now? Wow, is he horrible... Sheesh.
Tom Brady would help – and don't assume the offensive line will be horrible moving forward. The team right now is playing without left tackle Cam Robinson, left guard Andrew Norwell and center Brandon Linder. They will return next season. That's not a horrible base from which to build.
Rob from Orange Park, FL
I guess that answered the question of whether we would have won if running back Leonard Fournette hadn't got kicked out of that other game. Can't score with or without him in the red zone.
Fournette not scoring from the 1 against the Titans Thursday obviously had nothing to do with whether he would have scored against the Bills a couple of weeks back. But no … Fournette's not a cure-all for the Jaguars' offense.
Al from Wayne, NJ
In retrospect, the firing of offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett looks like a mistake. What offense can function when the top three offensive linemen are on injured reserve? We are playing guys who were cut midseason for not being able to play on the New York Giants, who have the worst offensive line in football. What I am trying to say is, it doesn't matter who is playing on offense anymore. With a decimated line, nothing works.
Richard from Irvine, CA
I know the offensive line is bad, but it sure feels like Fournette missed a lot of holes out there Thursday. Does he lack the vision to be a top running back in the league?
Fournette so far in his career has been far better at running through people and grinding out an extra yard or two with his toughness than he has been at making people miss. Missability and making those sorts of above-the-Xs-and-Os plays haven't been his strengths yet. While Fournette is very good and critical to the offense, that's one reason he can't yet be considered an elite back.
Pradeep from Bangalore, India
Hey John, is it possible to use couple of our defense players on offense for few snaps? Like the Texans used J.J. Watt couple of seasons ago?
Yes. It's possible. It's gimmicky and not usually a game-changer for a franchise, but yeah … it's possible.
Sonny from Orlando, FL
Do you think next year's backup quarterback is on the roster today?
We'll see. I doubt quarterback Blake Bortles will be on the roster, though that remains a possibility. If so, he almost certainly will be a backup. A more likely scenario involves Cody Kessler. There seems a good chance he will be on the roster. If the Jaguars draft a quarterback, perhaps Kessler could start temporarily until the drafted player is ready to start. If the Jaguars sign a veteran quarterback, it seems likely Kessler could be the backup.
Shannon from Jacksonville
Get Nick Foles. Is this even a possibility?
Sure. How much?
JT from Fort Worth, TX
Jaguars safety Ronnie Harrison might be something special John.
That might alter the narrative that all players from the Jaguars' 2018 NFL Draft class are horrible, but yes … rookie safety Ronnie Harrison does look he has the chance to turn into a very good player. That pretty much has been the feeling all season.
Scott from Atlanta, GA
What confuses me about this upcoming offseason: The appearance that BB5 is gone. Blake is exactly who we all thought he was when he got his extension. What changed? The offense got injured and we just proved he wasn't a "franchise" guy. Everyone knew that. I don't know what changed. The Bills game he was horrid, but he didn't do bad against the Eagles or Colts Part 1. So what changed? Why change direction drastically? Why not draft a rookie and let Bortles see if he can hold the rookie off for a bit, no?
When it's time to move on from a starting quarterback, it's usually time to move on. The Jaguars by benching Bortles for Cody Kessler signified that it's time to move on. Perhaps Bortles will return. It's not out of the question. But it's doubtful.
Cliff from Orange Park, FL
True or false: if the defense played all season the way it played against the Colts, the Jags would be 8-4 or better and Hackett would still be the offensive coordinator and Bortles the quarterback now and for the foreseeable future.
If the Jaguars' defense had played all season as it did against the Colts the Jaguars would be 12-0 and having the greatest defensive season in NFL history. That's because the Jaguars shut out the Colts. The record is not the "fault" of the defense. The defense overall has been fine this season, with the major difference that it's not playing with leads nearly as often as it did last season.
Don from Macclenny, FL
Someone asked if the Jags would look at Hunt and you answered no. If the question had been "Will ANY NFL team consider taking Hunt off of waivers?" wouldn't your answer be the same?
I don't think a team will be interested in Hunt this season. I do expect he will play in the NFL again – quite possibly next season.
Rick from Panama City, FL
Does the hiring of administration and coaching staff figure into the salary cap? If not, does the hiring of McCarthy not seem feasible? Go Jags!
The hiring of administration and coaches do not figure into the salary cap. As far as former Green Bay Packers Head Coach Mike McCarthy is concerned, I don't expect the Jaguars to part ways with Head Coach Doug Marrone – and I believe McCarthy will be a head coach somewhere in the NFL next season.
Greg from Section 122
Not to be contrary or mean but the repeated use of injuries as justification of our record is getting old. It's the NFL, you are going to get injuries. Let's just be honest we had a much less depth on our roster than we thought. Coupled with the fact we were very fortunate last year with some our wins, we over-achieved. Now we are back to reality. We can't be continuously successful in the NFL depending on defense. Eventually you have to be able score points because the other team will. Do you see a major retooling of the offense in the offseason given the fact we already are going be a new offensive coordinator? Eventually the Jags are going to have to accept it is a passing league and adapt. You can't win a horse race hoping your pony is faster. Hope that makes sense. Go get a QB Caldwell.
I'm not interested in "justifying" anything. I am interested in interpreting what has happened to the Jaguars this season as accurately as possible. The Jaguars were fifth in the NFL in points and sixth in the NFL in yards last season. They were ninth in the NFL in yards this season through four games and twice had scored 31 points. I understand that what has happened since makes people want to dismiss all that came before. That doesn't change the fact that injuries were the major reason the offense went off the rails to the degree it did this season.
Kevin from Ponte Vedra, FL
Well, I guess the problem wasn't Hackett and Bortles! What now?
Now? Now, we dance.


Today, we're chatting with Nicole Homer!
Hey Nicole! What's new with you?
I spent the summer living and working at Robert Frost's Franconia, NH home as the Dartmouth Poet in Residence at The Frost Place. It was an honor and a privilege and my favorite spot in the house was the porch where I could sit and write or edit or sip coffee and see the White Mountains. Also, because I'm me, I found an ice cream shop with delicious homemade ice cream.
When I was in high school, I started going to an open mic at the local Barnes and Nobles. I was surrounded by older poets who were kind and generous and indulgent with me. My father died when I was in middle school, so he occupied a large part of my work. Alongside that, I was trying to figure out the world and my place in it so I examined politics and relationships.
To simultaneously bear witness and offer a way through.
Yes! More and more this is a feeling that lets me know I'm being honest or that, at least, I'm headed in a productive direction.
There are two things I think people should do everyday: exercise and create. To the extent that one's body is able, I think exercise—movement, really—helps. It impacts the chemicals in the body and therefore emotion. It can change your perspective. Literally. If you walk or jog down the street, you are somewhere different seeing something different. Creation can be a poem, but it doesn't have to be. A paper airplane. A cake. A scarf. I find that if I put too much on myself to write every day, I can become overwhelmed. Writing isn't the end all be all, but making something is valuable. Even something as transient as a sandcastle. It's a practice and a craft and trains you to get into a creative space with increasing ease.

Light of the World – The Williamson Affair
December 4, 2010 in Pope Benedict 2 Comments Tags: Holocaust Denial, Pope Benedict, Williamson
Archbishop Lefebvre was unhappy with the Second Vatican Council and with the way the Church was going. He established the Society of Saint Pius X, which had some success (600,000 members, 500 priests) and became increasingly alienated from Rome. One cannot have sacraments without bishops, so to assure that the Society would have a line of bishops to consecrate priests, Lefebvre consecrated bishops without the permission of the pope. This entailed automatic excommunication for both Lefebvre and for the bishops he had consecrated.
A similar situation exists in China. Chinese bishops have consecrated bishops chosen by the Communist government without first getting permission of the pope. These bishops also are excommunicated. (p. 22)
But "when such a bishop professes his acknowledgment both of the primacy in general and also that of the currently reigning pope in particular, his excommunication is revoked, because there is no more reason for it." (p. 22)
The Vatican is trying to regularize the situation in China and unify the two factions of the Church – those who acknowledge the primacy of the pope and those who by their action have rejected it.
The bishops in the Society of Saint Pius X were not excommunicate because of their views on Vatican II but because of their action in the irregular consecration. Once they acknowledged the primacy, they "had to be absolved form excommunication."
When the Vatican revoked the excommunications of four bishops in the Society of Pius X, it soon discovered that one of them, Williamson, was a Holocaust denier. He in fact had never been a member of the Catholic Church, but had gone straight from Anglicanism to the Society of Saint Pius X (this is another complication which Benedict did not address – how do you lift the excommunication of someone who was never a member of the Church?).
It would have taken about three minutes on Google to discover Williamson's bizarre views, but Benedict admitted "none of us went on the Internet to find out what sort of person we were dealing with." (p. 121)
Napoleon said that one should never ascribe to conspiracy what can be explained by incompetence.
This failure let the tabloid press have a field day: "Nazi Pope Welcomes Holocaust Denier." etc. Yes, quite unfair, as Benedict complained, but incompetence has consequences.
However, Benedict says that if he know about Williamson's views he would have handled the matter differently, "the first step would have been to separate the Williamson case form the others." (p. 121)
This calls for follow up questions. Why would Benedict have handled it differently? How would he have handled it? He said that excommunication "had" to be lifted once the bishops acknowledged the primacy. Where in canon law does it say the bishop's views can be taken into consideration in deciding whether to lift an excommunication?
Williamson was not accused of heresy, but of holding an erroneous opinion about an historical event (no doubt from the worst of motives – but some people can't believe the Holocaust happened because they can't believe that human beings would do such terrible things).
Are some views so irrational as to be beyond the pale? Which ones? — Holocaust denial, Flat Worlder, Extra Terrestrial Abduction, or the belief that the the 2001 attacks in the U.S were carried out by U.S. and Israeli intelligence (a significant part of German population believes this). How about the Central American cardinal who thought the media stories on sexual abuse were a Jewish plot?
Seewald should have asked follow-up questions, but on this issue, as on many others, he did not really ask hard questions.

Home Vape News Studies and Research Most Teens Unaware They're Vaping Nicotine
Most Teens Unaware They're Vaping Nicotine
40% of teens who think they're vaping nicotine-free are wrong
Ashleigh Smith
A new study by researchers at State University of New York (SUNY) – Stony Brook University found that while teens 12-21 years old accurately reported their use of e-cigarettes, marijuana, and tobacco — approximately 40% were unaware of the level of nicotine they were using.
The Centers for Disease Control reported that among high school students, 1 in 5 say they've used an e-cigarette at least once over the past month. Between 2017 and 2018, teen vaping rates soared by 78%, prompting the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the U.S. Surgeon General to call teen vaping an "epidemic".
The study, led by Dr. Rachel Boykan the Department of Pediatrics at the Renaissance School of Medicine and Dr. Maciej Goniewicz at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center, was published in the May edition of the medical journal, Pediatrics.
The researchers first asked teens about their vaping, tobacco, and marijuana use, which was later confirmed with a urine test. 98% of the study participants truthfully reported their usage. The research team also tested for cotinine levels, which indicate nicotine in a person's body — finding that 40% of teens who believed they were using a nicotine-free vape juice actually showed nicotine in their urine test. The vaping teenage brain responds to chemicals such as nicotine differently than the adult brain, and further research is needed as vaping becomes more popular among youth.
The CDC is currently compiling research on the vaping teenage brain, as lawmakers and the FDA attempt to limit access for underage e-cigarette users. The danger for teens being exposed to nicotine, especially without their knowledge, is that nicotine is highly-addictive, and can harm adolescent brain development, which occurs through the early to mid-twenties – particularly areas that control learning, mood, attention, and impulse control. According to the CDC, "using nicotine in adolescence may also increase risk for future addiction to other drugs."
Teens who are already addicted to nicotine may need help to stop. Quitting resources are available for free at smokefree.gov.

Sid Roth One New Man TV
"Jew and Gentile: One New Man in Messiah Jesus"
Our Guest Rob & Aliss Cresswell
SID: Hey, you two really have got our studio audience going. But Rob, briefly summarize the three-fold miracle mandate, and I really like that word "mandate."
ROB: It's a command.
SID: Whoa.
ROB: God blesses mankind with three blessings. Now, provision gives us our sense of security. Wholeness gives us our sense of love and acceptance, and the authority gives us our sense of significance. God created us like this. All people need these things. They need security. They need acceptance. They need significance.
SID: Everyone wants this.
ROB: It's how we're made. When Adam and Eve distrust God and disobey him, they look outside of God for these things, and that's why they release the curses.
SID: He has found this pattern of three all over the Bible of this miracle mandate. So what he's saying is in the wilderness, there was that same pattern of three. Explain that now.
ROB: The same tempter, the same devil that came to Adam and Eve, this is why Jesus is called the second Adam, because he has to go through the same test, but Jesus trusts his heavenly father implicitly for all these things, for his security, for his acceptance, and for his significance. He's victorious. He leaves the wilderness in the power of the Spirit, and he goes on to have an overflow in his life of miracles, of provision, of healing, and of authority.
SID: So Aliss, is this what you're looking for? People that you equip, that when they understand and get their revelation of the three-fold miracle mandate, that they would go in explosive power of God?
ALISS: Yeah, because the message it's a wonderful revelation, but it's so simple, and when they get it, they can go and do the same things. We had a young lady come into our shop one time called Lisa, and she had a powerful business, but it was actually tapping into the wrong power. She was involved in the occult, but she was attracted by our sign outside our shop that said, "free healings and miracles," and she went wondering what it was all about. She gets prayed for, and she recognizes the true power of God.
ALISS: She goes back to her business, she's actually doing a Reiki healing session which is counterfeit healing, not through Jesus. In the room doing this session, she's watching all these spirits, and she thinks Jesus is there doing this universal energy healing, but then she has a vision of the real, true Jesus, who walks into the room and says, "Stop what you're doing!". And she's taken aback and she realizes it's the true Jesus. She's been living a lie all these years, so she ends up giving up her whole business, she gives her life to Jesus, and now she's at a ministry school and she's helping other people who are involved in new age and occult practices to follow Jesus.
SID: Now Rob, you had a very serious, very personal experience in the area of provisions, what happened?
ROB: That's right. This is going back nearly 20 years, where we had a young family, we had two young kids, and we'd got into some debt problems for various reasons. It's very common thing, isn't it? We'd remortgaged our house, and we were in trouble.
SID: Now unfortunately, there are a lot of people relating to what you're saying right now.
ROB: Yeah, so as a young man, I've got a vivid memory of getting up in the morning, I used to like to go running, and it's raining, and I'm running through the rain, and what can you do? I remember just crying out to God, "Please deliver me and my family from this crushing debt," and God did an amazing thing. I wish I could reach out to that young man jogging through the rain and tell him, "It's going to be all right. It's going to be better than all right because God's going to do something amazing."
ALISS: And what happened was we thought we should put the house on the market, but if we sold the house, we would have still been in some debt, but the Holy Spirit said, "Don't sell it!" So, we tried to be obedient. We lived by faith. Every month, waiting and waiting and waiting, and after 11 months, the Lord then said, "Now, sell the house."
ALISS: Now, what we didn't realize is that if we'd the sold the house 11 months previously, we still would've been in debt. But over those 11 months, the price of the house rose. It just escalated so much over 11 months, that when the Lord said, "Now, sell the house," not only did we pay off our five mortgages, half a million dollar's worth, but we had enough money to buy a wonderful house, cash, a car, cash, and took our family to ministry school for a year in America with the cash that was left.
SID: There's so many people watching right now and they say, "Why them? Why not me?" Answer them.
ROB: If you're in that situation right now, we know how that feels, and it can be a hard road, but we have to trust God. We have to have that faith that just puts ourselves in his hands, and it may not turn out like you may think it might turn out. We thought we might get a check through the post. It did not work like that for us. We had to let go of what we thought was a gift of God in order to have the real treasure, and that's what he's going to do for you.
ROB: So I pray, Lord, for breakthrough, financial breakthrough, whatever it takes to deliver people watching into that place of provision in Jesus' name.
SID: When we come back, I want Rob and Aliss to pray for miracle breakthroughs in every area of your life, and pray to activate the three-fold miracle mandate, just for you, when we return.

How Pizzagate went from fake news to a real problem for a D.C. business
Police secure the street outside Comet Ping Pong in Washington on Dec. 4, 2016. A North Carolina man was arrested after entering the business with a rifle to check on an internet conspiracy theory known as Pizzagate. (AP photo via Washington Post)
By Joshua Gillin December 5, 2016
Fake news became all too real over the weekend after a North Carolina man entered a Washington pizzeria with an assault rifle in an attempt to "self-investigate" a false but persistent conspiracy theory about Hillary Clinton.
The baseless theory is that the business was a front for a child sex ring run by Hillary Clinton and her campaign manager.
Edgar Maddison Welch, a 28-year-old man from Salisbury, N.C., walked into Comet Ping Pong in the capital around 3 p.m. on Dec. 4. Police said pointed his gun at a worker, who fled, and then Welch started firing the rifle inside the restaurant, the Washington Post reported.
Patrons and other employees also ran away, police said. The suspect, who allegedly had an AR-15-style rifle and other weapons, surrendered to police and was charged with assault with a dangerous weapon. There were no reported injuries.
Welch told police he was there to check into unfounded rumors that Comet Ping Pong, which hosts children's parties and occasionally small concerts, was actually part of what the Internet has dubbed "Pizzagate."
D.C. police described Pizzagate as "a fictitious online conspiracy theory" in its press release for Welch's arrest. But where did this theory come from?
Pizzagate's origins
The conspiracy theory spread through viral emails, discussion threads and social media in the weeks leading up to Election Day.
The rumor first began after WikiLeaks released Clinton campaign manager John Podesta's emails.
Users at the online forum 4Chan noticed Podesta corresponded with Comet Ping Pong pizzeria owner James Alefantis, discussing a potential Clinton fundraiser.
Buzzfeed reported that the idea of a pedophilia ring masterminded by Clinton and her allies started with an Oct. 30 tweet by a reputed white supremacist Twitter account that in turn cited a Facebook user's status:
Rumors stirring in the NYPD that Huma's emails point to a pedophila ring and @HillaryClinton is at the center. #GoHillary #PodestaEmails23 pic.twitter.com/gkEH5oL269
— David Goldberg (@DavidGoldbergNY) October 30, 2016
From there, various conspiracy theory and fake news sites began spinning out versions of the elaborate but unproven story. (A popular Reddit post detailing the theory has since been removed.)
The gist of the fake theory is that Podesta's repeated use of the word "pizza" in emails detailed in the WikiLeaks release was actually a code word for pedophilia. Comet Ping Pong was allegedly the base for secret rooms in which Clinton and her allies kidnapped and imprisoned children to be sexually abused, tortured or even sacrificed in the name of Satan. Democrats in both Clinton's campaign and the federal government have colluded to hide the abuse, the theory alleges.
Some sites have claimed that various details about the pizzeria "prove" that Comet Ping Pong uses coded language and symbols to advertise its secret business to pedophiles. Random pictures of children have been appropriated to falsely illustrate the fake ring's so-called victims.
The story has circulated on various fake news sites for weeks, although some have since been taken down.
There has been no evidence that any such sex ring exists. But that hasn't stopped conspiracy theorists from harassing Comet Ping Pong, its employees and even neighboring businesses.
Let's go back to Alefantis, who said he has never met Clinton but supported her presidential bid. The 42-year-old Alefantis was once in a relationship with David Brock, a former conservative commentator who now runs the liberal site Media Matters For America.
The New York Times reported in early November that Alefantis noticed a sharp uptick in his social media traffic in the weeks leading up to the election. People he didn't know began to send death threats and vulgar messages. Employees and their families also were threatened via social media and text messages.
Alefantis filed a police report about the harassment, and authorities have had to intervene before. One man who believed the fake theory posted video from inside the restaurant and was told by police to leave, the Times reported.
After Welch fired his weapon inside the popular restaurant, Alefantis blamed the prevalence of fake news and those that spread it for the troubles at Comet Ping Pong.
"What happened today demonstrates that promoting false and reckless conspiracy theories comes with consequences," he said in a Facebook post. "I hope that those involved in fanning these flames will take a moment to contemplate what happened here today, and stop promoting these falsehoods right away."
Internet response
Even as traditional news outlets have reported on Pizzagate, supporters of the wild theories have argued that attention from the mainstream is only proof that media is in on the coverup.
The hashtag #Pizzagate filled Twitter with users doubting the coverage of Welch's activities at Comet Ping Pong, including media denials of Pizzagate's validity.
One notable conspiracy theorist is Michael Flynn Jr., son of incoming national security adviser and retired U.S. Army Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn. The elder Flynn has previously shown support to other conspiracy theories that Clinton is tied up with alleged money laundering and sex crimes unrelated to Comet Ping Pong.
On Sunday the younger Flynn tweeted he was skeptical of reports that Pizzagate wasn't real.
Until #Pizzagate proven to be false, it'll remain a story. The left seems to forget #PodestaEmails and the many "coincidences" tied to it. https://t.co/8HA9y30Yfp
— Michael G Flynn🇺🇸 (@mflynnJR) December 5, 2016
The tweet included another tweet from Citizens For Trump special projects director Jack Posobiec alleging Washington D.C. Police Chief Peter Newsham found no connection between Welch and Pizzagate.
We could find no evidence that Newsham said that, only that he initially told the Post the incident was likely not "terrorist related."
According to the official press release from D.C. police, Welch himself admitted he was there because of the conspiracy theory: "During a post arrest interview this evening, the suspect revealed that he came to the establishment to self-investigate 'Pizza Gate.' "
Correction: An earlier version of this story incorrectly referred to Welch's weapon as automatic.

Film Review: 'Four Christmases'
March 2, 2009 by Kathryn Schroeder
'Four Christmases' Synopsis: When the fog rolls in on Christmas and grounds all the flights, Brad and Kate are unable to spend the holiday vacationing as usual. Instead, they must visit their family's, and deal with the inevitable that follows.
Release Date: November 26, 2008 MPAA Rating: PG-13
Genre(s): Comedy, Romantic Comedy
If you are looking for a film that will make you laugh, you have found it. The story is enjoyable, as our the performances by an ensemble cast. It it overall a film that serves its purpose, to entertain.
In the first moments of the film you are introduced to Brad and Kate's feelings on marriage. There dialogue is written perfectly to portray their feelings and make the audience laugh out loud at the hilarious beliefs they share. This scene sets the stage for how the two characters, and the cast as a whole, will speak, with an all out bluntness that is refreshing and terrifying at the same time.
The rest of the film delivers the laughs through the collection of one-liners performing as the backdrop for the comedy or the actions by the characters themselves. The entire cast is given their own specific nuances through the writing and play off each other brilliantly. Although there are no real distinct character arcs or high levels of dramatic effect as the story progresses, it goes unnoticed by what you are given.
There are lines you will not soon forget, like when Grandma has her say on what gift she is giving this year. It may be a remark that has been done in some form before but it is still hilarious, and given the scene as a whole a great new twist on an expected laugh. As a comedy, the writing excels as it is full of playful banter, and an overall humor that is neither vulgar or foul mouthed, just plain funny.
For the most part the film portrays a very standard style of cinematography. It is these standard shot set-ups that cause a major issue while watching the film. The actor, Vince Vaughn, is VERY tall in comparison to actress Reese Witherspoon. Instead of adjusting the framing for this it is ignored. Leaving many of the medium shots to appear awkward as the two characters engage each other with such a large distance between them. This also affects the close ups of the two actors kissing as it appears unnatural for him to have to bend down so far into the shot to reach her face, or lips. This lack of framing and adjustment weakens the dynamic between the two characters in a variety of scenes because they do not seem to fit in a film that is all about being the perfect fit.
The film employs the classical style of editing. It does deviate in a great way from the standard at times by replacing the SRS (shot-reverse-shot) with sound bridges. Instead of constantly cutting back and forth between two people on their lines, the editor employs the use of the sound bridge so the character on camera is not always the one talking. This choice is effective as it gives you more of an opportunity to see the reactions of characters to others and is less distracting as the shot on screen is not continually changing every few seconds as the dialogue shifts from one person to another. It makes for a more enjoyable pacing and overall effect for particular scenes.
Score and Soundtrack
There is one scene where the score truly stands out and is impeccable, adding to the drama and comedy of the scene as it unfolds: in the jump jump. As Kate is trapped in the 'jump jump' the score heightens and is awesome. It is heart pumping, reminiscent of a war battle scene, that gets you in the game so to speak as Kate fights her way through the madness that is the 'jump jump'. The score sets such a tone for the scene, and her mindset. It only adds to the drama, and the comedy, of such a moment for the character, and as an audience member you find yourself completely invested in this battle. Without such a piece of music mixed with the physical comedy the scene would lose so much of what it offers, laughs.
The two main characters of the film, Brad and Kate, have a very real world chemistry to them after they meet the families. Prior to this moment they come across as slightly fake. As if no two people could really be that in love and happy.
Once the family's come into play the chemistry between everyone is magnificent. Brad and Kate begin to act like an average couple, in far from average circumstances, and there feelings are completely believable towards one another. As as ensemble, everyone engages each other just like you would imagine a family member does in day to day life. The chemistry does fail at times between Brad and Kate when the dramatic tone of the film is meant to be heightened, but the instances are minor. Technically, this film is all about the ensemble, and that never fails.
Comedy Factor
This film is funny. Simple as that. Best of all, it does not rely on gags, gross-out extremes, or foul language to deliver.

The creation of Light, continuing on the theme of creation in 3 Nephi—to identify it and apply it to myself.
First, the earth cleaved. In that destruction, Matter Organized. Secondly, Firmament Divided. The Holy Ghost taught me that the pattern applied to the Earth and also to the People.
I felt such an eagerness to look at Light.
Light: something that makes vision possible, a source (i.e. a celestial body), sight, a spiritual illumination, truth, a set of principle, standards, or opinions, a medium (such as a window) through which light is admitted. From Latin luc-, lux light, lucere to shine, Greek leukos white.
More definitions include: Life. Means of knowing. Open view; a visible state; a state of being seen by the eye, or perceived, understood or known. Explanation; illustration; means of understanding. Point of view; situation to be seen or viewed. In scripture, God, the source of knowledge. Christ. Joy; comfort; felicity. Prosperity; happiness. Support; comfort; deliverance. The gospel.
Every one of these definitions of light illuminates 3 Nephi 11.
And I, God, said: Let there be light; and there was light. And I, God, saw the light; and that light was good. And I, God, divided the light from the darkness.
The people at Bountiful's temple heard a voice that made their bodies quake, pierced their souls, and made their hearts burn. When purified, they heard and understood the voice.
They saw a Man dressed in white descend from heaven.
Behold I am Jesus Christ, whom the prophets testified shall come into the world. And behold, I am the light and the life of the world; and I have drunk out of that bitter cup which the Father hath given me, and have glorified the Father in taking upon me the sins of the world, in the which I have suffered the will of the Father in all things from the beginning.
There before them was the Source of Light, the Creator of Light. They viewed Him in a visible state, a state of being seen by the eye or perceived.
The Savior's words caused the multitude to fall to the earth and remember prophecies about Christ's personal visitation to their people. This was light—an explanation and means of understanding.
Then, Jesus said the words I long to hear.
The Lord then organized His church with Nephi at its head. He called other disciples to bear special witness of Him. He gave them priesthood power to baptize and expounded gospel doctrines like the nature and purpose of the Godhead, condemnation, repentance, baptism, revelation, salvation. He charged the twelve to share the message He shared to the ends of the earth.
Chapter 12 opens with Jesus exhorting the people to listen to the twelve, be baptized, and share the message with others. He then gives a "Sermon on the Mount" sermon, including references to light.
Light can come from a source (the sun) or an object can reflect light from a source (the moon.) During the creation, the source is created first and then those things that reflect it. In this creation scenario, Jesus is the source and commands them to shine as well—not to reflect, but to shine.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, I give unto you to be the light of this people. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid.
The people could be lights, because He lighted them first.
And that I am the true light that lighteth every man that cometh into the world….
Isaiah exhorted his people and readers to be light.
The Nephites experienced great darkness and upheaval, trials and opposition, before the Light manifested Himself. And there was light. He was light. They were light.
And they (the Gods) said: Let there be light; and there was light. And they (the Gods) comprehended the light, for it was bright; and they divided the light, or caused it to be divided, from the darkness.
When Jesus visited the people, the Gods divided the Nephites from the darkness. He offers the same commandment to be light to us. He promises the same blessings if we do.
The day is here. Shine on.


DOCTOR WHO COMIC UK #6 Review #DoctorWhoCUK | Warped Factor - Words in the Key of Geek.
Since acquiring the Doctor Who comic book license Titan Comics have not hung around. This time last year they launched their Tenth and Eleventh Doctor titles, and joining them in October was the Twelfth Doctor. Overall, both the stories presented and the artwork have been nothing short of spectacular. It was no surprise then that the range of titles have all been amazingly popular, flying off the shelves of comic book stores around the globe.
But what about those who couldn't get to a comic book store?
Well, Titan thought of that, and back in February they launched a Doctor Who comic produced exclusively for the UK market. Not only will you find it in your favourite comic book store but it's also there on the high street - on the shelf in WH Smiths and many independent newsagents.
If you've not taken the plunge as yet, then issue #6 of Doctor Who Comic UK is the perfect time to dive in, as three new adventures begin within its 84 pages.
First up, the Twelfth Doctor discovers something sinister in Shoreditch (haven't we all?) in The Fractures, Part 1.
But Coal Hill School and its environs can be just as deadly as any alien planet or far future, as the pair will soon find out!
There are two type of Doctor Who comic book stories; those that would fit right in and work perfectly on screen, and those that are a little more abstract and probably work better within the pages of a comic book. The Fractures is one of those stories which you could absolutely imagine working on the TV. And well.
Sticking quite close to the events of series 8, and featuring Kate Stewart & UNIT, it's the first part of a three part adventure - trust me, you're gonna wanna buy the next two issues! As jumping on points go, this ones a doozy!
Our second strip is a one-shot timey-wimey space loop story for the Eleventh Doctor - Space In Dimension And Relative Time.
The Doctor, Alice and Jones left the SERVEYOUinc United System Research Base behind, travelling on to new adventures. The TARDIS gang has grown yet further because of their last encounter, with the addition of the hulking shapeshifter known as ARC – who is a lot more polite and inquisitive than its threatening appearance would suggest. But is even the TARDIS big enough to support this many large personalities?
You know those comic strips that are a little more abstract? Here's one of them.
And that's by no means a negative. Once you wrap your head around Space In Dimension And Relative Time you'll find a neat little story, albeit one that probably wouldn't transfer to the small screen too well.
That being said, it's a little like the Christopher Nolan movie Memento... a little. It's a backwards time story, with a nice little touch of numbering the pages in reverse (little things make a big difference). And there's a Nimon involved. We like the Nimon!
Finally, our third strip, part one of The Weeping Angels of Mons, features the Tenth Doctor in the midst of the world's dark history.
The Doctor offered Gabby a one-off time-travelling trip aboard the TARDIS. They arrived at an alien art gallery where Gabby was thrown straight into the heart of adventure, with no shortage of the life-threatening danger that seems to follow the Doctor no matter where (or when) he is. Proving herself to be a bright and brave companion, the Doctor has invited her to join him in exploring the universe.
Another story that could quite literally be ripped from the TV screen. The Weeping Angels of Mons is solid Tenth Doctor material, perfectly paced and finding the right balance between the light and dark moments. And there are dark moments to come. You will not want to miss parts 2 and 3 of this one.
In addition to the three main strips there are some single page funnies, which means, in short, Doctor Who Comic UK represents excellent value for money. 84 pages featuring three very faithful new adventures for the three most recent Doctors for just £3.99? How can you not want that?
Doctor Who Comic UK #6 is available in newsagents now, alternatively you can subscribe and get a free Doctor Who Top Trumps Collectors Tin!

EU states trigger dispute process with Iran for breaches of nuclear deal
BRUSSELS — Britain, France and Germany have launched action under the Iran nuclear agreement paving the way for possible sanctions in response to Tehran's attempts to roll back parts of the deal, European Union foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said Tuesday.
The three countries, which signed the international agreement in 2015 along with the United States, Russia and China, informed Borrell, who supervises the pact, in a letter that they are triggering its "dispute mechanism," ratcheting up pressure on the Islamic Republic.
The leaders of the three nations said in a statement that they've been "left with no choice, given Iran's actions, but to register today our concerns that Iran is not meeting its commitments."

The powers said they are referring "this matter to the Joint Commission under the Dispute Resolution Mechanism, as set out" in the nuclear deal.
German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said in a statement that the three European countries "could no longer leave the growing Iranian violations of the nuclear agreement unanswered."
"Our goal is clear: we want to preserve the accord and come to a diplomatic solution within the agreement," he added. "We will tackle this together with all partners in the agreement. We call on Iran to participate constructively in the negotiation process that is now beginning."
Borrell insisted that the move does not mean that sanctions will automatically be reimposed.
The mechanism allows two weeks for ministers to resolve any problems, although that period can be extended if all sides agree. If needed, an advisory board would have an extra 20 days to adjudicate.
The nuclear agreement is aimed at convincing Iran to stop developing atomic weapons in exchange for economic incentives. It's been on life support since US President Donald Trump unilaterally pulled the United States out in 2018, triggering sanctions that have hurt Iran's moribund economy. Since then, Tehran has gradually rolled back its commitment to the deal.
After its top general was killed in a US drone attack earlier this month, Iran announced that it would no longer respect limits set on how many centrifuges it can use to enrich uranium. Tehran said the new move was a "remedial step" in line with the deal and that it could be reversed.

Shark Week premieres Sunday July 28 with over 20 hours of shark programming
SHARK WEEK, television's longest-running, and most anticipated summer event returns with bigger sharks and bigger bites on Sunday, July 28 and continues through Sunday, August 4. With more than 20 hours of shark programming throughout the week, SHARK WEEK 2019's fincredible lineup will deliver all-new groundbreaking shark stories revealing remarkable insights into the mysterious world of these magnificent creatures. In addition, after taming sharks with Shaq for SHARK WEEK's 30th anniversary, Rob Riggle is diving back into the water for the ultimate "Shark Trip" with some of his celebrity friends.
CHECK OUT THE TEASER HERE
Discovery Channel continues to work with nearly two dozen of the world's most respected marine biologists and science institutions to bring brand-new, innovative shark research technology and compelling insight on some of the most unique shark species in the world. SHARK WEEK 2019 will take viewers to the depths of the ocean in search of Deep Blue, employ the first 'drone-towed' seal decoy, and test some of the most exciting, cutting-edge technology for shark detecting surveillance.
Discovery will leave no shark fan behind, bringing the SHARK WEEK experience to viewers across digital and social media platforms. New partnerships with shark experts and nonprofit groups will deliver a 360 multi-platform experience uncovering the latest shark discoveries and trending shark topics around the globe.
This year, Oceana and Discovery are teaming up to help protect sharks, which are threatened by a global shark fin trade that includes fins from as many as 73 million sharks each year. The fight against this brutal, wasteful practice is also supported by collaborations with major brands that raise money for Oceana's campaigns and create content to educate fans about why healthy oceans need sharks. Discovery will also be working with Ocean Conservancy again this year to help clean up beaches and inland waterways across the country to keep our waters clean for sharks and the other marine life that live in them. More than 8 million metric tons of plastic enter our ocean every year. Ocean Conservancy is working around the world to stop the flow of plastic into the ocean by 2030 and organizes the world's largest volunteer effort on behalf of the ocean, the International Coastal Cleanup. Find a local cleanup near you at www.signuptocleanup.org.
Last year, SHARK WEEK made a big ratings splash for its 30th anniversary, reaching 34.9M Total Viewers across Total Day. Discovery Channel was the #1 network on all of TV in Prime during SHARK WEEK – beating the broadcast networks – among M18-49 and M18-34 and had its 4th-highest rated SHARK WEEK on record across all 25-54s and 18-49s. Discovery Channel ranked as cable's #1 network in Prime across all 25-54s, all 18-49s, and all 18-34s while SHAQ DOES SHARK WEEK was cable's #1 telecast during SHARK WEEK in P25-54 & M25-54**. In addition, SHARK WEEK 2018 engaged fans across multiple platforms and reached 48 million users across Facebook and Instagram. The week also garnered 3.5 million streams across all Discovery GO (DGO) digital platforms.

Vectra honored as winner of three gold awards at the fifth annual 2018 Globee Awards
Vectra and its AI-driven threat-detection and hunting platform are recognized for exceptional growth and merit in the IT/security industry
Jul 31, 2018, 08:08 ET
SAN JOSE, Calif., July 31, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Vectra, the leader in AI-driven cyberattack detection and threat hunting, has earned three gold awards from the prestigious Globee® Awards, the premier global business awards program open to for-profit, non-profit and government organizations worldwide. The annual Globee Awards program encompasses the best global organizations that have been evaluated based on growth and merit.
Vectra was named a gold winner in the following categories:
Information technology/security – big data

Cognito Detect and its equally powerful AI counterpart, Cognito Recall, are the cornerstones of the Cognito platform. Cognito Detect automates the real-time detection of hidden attackers while giving Cognito Recall a logical starting point to perform AI-assisted threat hunting and conduct conclusive incident investigations.

In Photos: Earthly Mounds Shaped Like Animals
By Live Science Staff
Animal Shapes
(Image credit: Robert Benfer)
Researchers have identified numerous earthen animals rising above the coastal plains of Peru, a region renowned for the Nazca lines, the ruined city of Chan Chan, and other cultural treasures. Few animal effigy mounds had been found in South America until now. Shown here, University of Missouri anthropologist Robert Benfer stands near some of the smaller mounds. The mound in the distance is a small birdlike figure.
Orcas!
(Image credit: Google Earth Pro)
Orcas hunted off the Peruvian coast 1,640 feet (500 meters) away until recently when industrial fishing removed their prey. This orca-shaped mound dated to approximately 5,000 years ago.
Monster Mound
The caiman/puma monster-shaped mound is one of two figures from the 4,000-year-old pre-ceramic site of El Paraíso, in the Chilca Valley. The other, a condor, is partly visible in the upper left. The researchers found the condor's charcoal eye lined up with the Milky Way when viewed from a nearby temple, while the "monster mound" aligned with the June summer solstice when viewed from the same temple. (The arrow shows the mound's alignment with the Milky Way.)
Earthen Condor
From the ground, the condor at El Paraíso is more difficult to identify.
Head of a Condor
The El Paraíso condor lines up with this stone sculpted to resemble a condor head. Stone condors are common in the Andes; this is the first one found on the coast. Viewed from the entrance to a 4,000-year-old temple at the site, the sun rises over this pillar during the equinox.
Animals Line Up
(Image credit: Nathan Craig, Pennsylvania State University)
This wire mesh model shows the condor figure that parallels the monster at El Paraíso. A line from the temple through the condor eye can be extended 18 miles (29 kilometers) up the valley where it intersects another condor image.
Duck Mound
A natural formation was altered by adding a head to create a duck-shaped mound. A nearby circular mound may represent an egg. These mounds date to approximately 3,500 years ago.
Nazca Lines
(Image credit: )
The animal mounds were found in a region famous for a series of ancient geolyphs, called the Nazca Lines, which are now considered a World Heritage Site in the Nazca Desert in southern Peru. Here, Nazca Lines resembling a humming bird, as viewed from a plane.
