Jojoba oil, known as the "Gold of the Desert" is in fact a liquid wax that can be used as an excellent, not fatty moisturizer. This unique oil comes from Sonora Desert in Southwest Arizona, USA.
It is compatible with the skin due to its likeliness to the skin´s sebum and therefore it can penetrate deep into your skin like no other natural oil can do. It is extremely beneficial for oily types of skin with acne, blackheads, heat rashes, seborrhea and other problematic skin conditions. Jojoba Oil does not clog pores but cleans them, serving as an excellent regulator and protector.
It has a high percentage of ceramides, substances that cover the skin's cells and are responsible for the regulation of their hydration. That means that Jojoba Oil keeps the moist in the skin's tissues, thus keeping the skin more elastic and resistant to aging. It is also rich in vitamin E which is potent in eliminating the free radicals that are responsible for skin's aging. Jojoba Golden closely resembles the sebum of the skin.
The benefits of using Jojoba oil are numerous, from alleviating aches and pains to achieving a flawless complexion or hairstyle. Jojoba oil deeply penetrates the scalp and hair shaft. Jojoba oil dissolves sticky build-up on the scalp that can form from daily use of other hair products such as mousse, hair spray and hair gel. Many scalp problems occur as a result of such build-up, which can keep the hair follicles from functioning - ultimately killing the follicle - resulting in damaged hair.
Makeup Remover. Add a few drops of jojoba oil to fingers or to a cotton ball and wipe over eyes and face. Rinse off with water and follow with regular cleanser.
Facial Cleanser and Moisturizer. To cleanse normal to dry skin, apply with a few drops on fingers or cotton ball. Remove with water. Pat a few more drops on to damp skin for a lasting moisture treatment.
Body Moisturizer. Apply immediately after shower or bath, while skin is still damp. It seals in moisture, leaving skin soft and smooth.
Deep Conditioning Treatment for Hair. Smooth a quarter-sized amount of oil over damp hair, focusing on ends. Wait 5-10 minutes before shampooing out. To help mend split ends, rub one or two drops onto ends.
Golden to brownish yellow liquid wax.
Jojoba Golden Carrier Oil has a pleasant, soft odor.
As with skin care, Jojoba oil can also be used on its own as a homemade treatment. As a leave-in conditioner, simply pour some Jojoba onto your hands and run them through your hair and comb through with a big-toothedb comb until it is evenly distributed, or add one teaspoon of Jojoba to a cup of water in a spray bottle for a more convenient conditioning hair spray.
Jojoba Golden has 2 years of shelf life for all intents and purposes. It may go cloudy in cool conditions but will return to its natural state once warmed.

Real cost of a garment
What does the price of the clothes consist of? Why can a similar shirt cost more in one store and considerably less in another? Consumers have a great responsibility and the opportunity to influence their purchase decisions, but how do you know what is the right choice. We wanted to find out the real value of the clothes, so that it would be easier for the consumer to know what the price differences are.
Production of a t-shirt: how much it costs vs how much it should cost
When comparing production costs of fast fashion type of t-shirt with cost of 10 euros and for example 59 euros t-shirt made in Finland, the differences in material and sewing costs alone are substantial. Material costs of 10 euros t-shirt in example case were 1,24 euros and sewing costs only 0,04 euros (Saramäki, 2014). Material costs of t-shirt made in Finland were 7,4 euros and costs of sewing and cutting 7 euros. The higher price of garment doesn't necessarily mean that the garment is produced responsible. Expensive brand clothing can be also produced with low costs and high environmental impact. (Vaittinen 2019.)
Low material and sewing costs of a 10 euros t-shirt can be reflected to wages of employees who have manufactured the garment. A large part of textile companies—fast fashion companies especially—doesn't pay the living wage for employees who have for example collected the cotton or manufactured the garment. Fast fashion companies often informs that they pay for employees the minimum wage but that isn't usually even close of a living wage in production country. In Bangladesh for example, where textile industry is one of most significant employers, minimum wage is less than 20 % of living wage. The use of child labour in production countries is also widespread and working conditions are often poor. (Karvonen 2022.)
How about if the price of garment is considered from an environmental point of view and used three different garment types as an example: a t-shirt, a pair of jeans, and a dress. Roos et al. (2015) explored environmental impacts of entire life cycle of these garments which contained for example emissions from the production, transport and use phase. For each garment were defined average number of uses which was used on life cycle assessment. When observing climate impacts of these garments, results of life cycle assessment were that GWP-impact (global warming potential) of a t-shirt made of cotton and used 22 times was 2,2 CO2 eq., a pair of jeans made of cotton and elastane and used 200 times was 10,5 kg CO2 eq. and a dress made of polyester and used 10 times was 17 kg CO2 eq.
Overall, the share of the clothing and textile industry of all greenhouse gas emissions caused by human activities is estimated to be between 4-10 %. In addition to massive greenhouse gas emissions textile industry uses huge amounts of water, other natural resources and land areas and causes discharges into water bodies. (Finnwatch 2022.)
How can consumer recognize responsibility?
Greenwashing is superficial environmental friendliness that does not extend deeper than advertising. Its purpose is to give the consumer an idea of the environmental friendliness of the product or service and to polish the company's reputation. (Joutsenmerkki 2021.)
According to a study by the EU and National Consumer Protection Authorities, in 2021, up to 42 % of the websites examined in the screening practiced marketing classified as greenwashing. Industries that were screened were, for example, clothing, cosmetics and household goods. (European commission 2021.) So the problem is not limited to clothes.
How can the consumer know what to trust in responsibility marketing? The often-given information about the product's responsibility is vague and selective. Certain colors or nature imagery could also be used to create the impression. It is good that companies invest in environmental friendliness even in small steps, but it is questionable to polish the company's reputation with a flattering detail. In the clothing industry, a good example of green washing is "responsible collections" by fast fashion chains. This one collection may be used disproportionately prominently in marketing, even if there is no attempt to change the rest of the business. (Eetti ry 2022.) The consumer's alarm bells should ring if, for example, by bringing clothes previously bought there or recycling, you get coupons for new clothes. So how can the consumer know what marketing can be trusted? Below are some tips:
Check the wording, because words like "responsibly", "ethically", "green" or "made with respect for the environment" may not mean anything.
Think about the whole: is the company's entire operation more responsible or just one product or collection?
Ask the company what the industry's pain points are from an environmental and human rights perspective and how the company has solved them.
Regarding clothing brands, you can check what, for example, Ränkkää brändi or Fashion Checker says about their responsibility.
The responsibility label is not a guarantee of responsibility. Ask the company what the sustainability label actually means.
Search the internet for company-independent information about the environmental and human rights impacts of the industry.
(Eetti ry 2022.)
Consumption habits and responsibility
We made a survey to explore what consumers think about responsibility of clothes and how it affects to their consumption habits and also that would they be willing to pay more for T-shirts produced responsibly and how much. We received a bit under 100 replies to the survey and the majority of respondents were students.
About half of the respondents said they were paying attention to the responsibility of the clothes they buy. One third were interested about responsibility but they either could not afford to buy responsibly produced clothing or the responsibility was difficult to understand. About 60 % of respondents thought so that they don't get enough information about responsibility of clothing production. 85% of respondents said they would buy up to five T-shirts a year and most common lifetime of a shirt at use was from one year to five years. About 10% of respondents told wearing T-shirts less than one year and bit less than one third over five years.
Only about one fifth of the respondents valued the ethicality and environmental friendliness of the T-shirt among the three main factors affecting the purchase decision. The shirt's price and look were clearly the most common factors. Most commonly T-shirts were told to be purchased from online stores, second hand stores, flea markets and fast fashion stores. About one in ten respondents also told they were borrowing T-shirts. None of respondents told to use rental services for the purchase of t-shirts. Most commonly price of purchased T-shirts were 11–20 euros. About 40% of respondents said they usually pay that much for the new T-shirts. About one fifth of respondents told they usually buy T-shirts of less than 10 euros. Only about 7 per cent of respondents bought T-shirts worth over 30 euros. Most respondents, about 80 % would however, be willing to pay more of t-shirts produced responsibly, most commonly 5-20 euros more. More than that would be ready to pay about one fifth of respondents.
We also asked as a free form question, that what respondents think, what real price of a T-shirt should be. Most commonly replies were between 20 and 50 euros. In verbal answers the emphasis was on, that the price of a T-shirt should be such that it would be sufficient for its manufacturers to receive fair payment and that the shirt has also been able to produce in an environmentally sustainable way.
The real value of the clothing and the purchasing habits of consumers intersect considerably. Consumers want easily, fast and cheap, but the flip side behind cheap clothes is not bright. There are many grievances in the textile industry, and that is why it is important to consider your own responsibility as a consumer. You can always influence with your legs and your wallet. However, responsible consumption can be difficult when there is not enough information about the production of clothes or it is misleading. That is why more transparency about the production of clothes and the environmental impact would be needed.

Q: add uniq clause based on year of column with type date mysql Is it possible to make a column unique based on just the year? For example:
ALTER TABLE groups ADD UNIQUE INDEX uniqcombo (group_id, YEAR('group_year'));

I tried the above query but it's giving me syntax errors near 'group_year')).
Is this possible or do I have to separate the year into its own column?

A: It is not possible in MySQL, you would need a separate column for the year alone.

In Croatia the Ministry of Science and Technology is the major provider of funds for high education. There are four universities, each consisting of a number of relatively independent and dislocated faculties and academies. In 1997, the Ministry engaged the authors to computerize the system for subsidized nourishment of the university students. The initial plan was to establish a simple credit card system. Faced with political and technical infrastructure difficulties, the authors had to develop a heterogeneous distributed database scheme and develop proprietary replication mechanism, capable to exchange high volumes of data over a slow network or over dial-up networking. The system has achieved full functionality at the largest university in Croatia, and it is ready to be installed in the rest of the country. Although developed under tight budget, it has significantly improved the organization and it provides valuable data for conducting the policy of subsidized nourishment.

Digitally mature SMEs poised to add billions to Malaysia's GDP, says study
>Media & Events > News>Digitally mature SMEs poised to add billions to Malaysia's GDP, says study
Digitally mature small and medium enterprises (SMEs) could add billions to Malaysia's gross domestic product (GDP) by 2024, according to a study.
The 2020 Asia-Pacific Small and Medium Business Digital Maturity Study was commissioned jointly by technology company Cisco and market intelligence company International Data Corporation.
Cisco Malaysia managing director Albert Chai said Malaysian SMEs have shown resilience and have leveraged technology to operate during the Covid-19 pandemic.
"As Malaysia continues to overcome the pandemic and business activity starts to pick up, digital transformation of SMEs will play a pivotal role in their recovery and contribute to economic growth," he said at the Cisco Asia-Pacific SME Digital Maturity Study virtual media briefing today.
The study involved 1,424 respondents from 14 Asia-Pacific countries.
The results of the study noted that digitally mature Malaysian SMEs could add between RM79 billion and RM99 billion to the GDP by 2024.
It added that purchasing or upgrading IT hardware (18 per cent) is the top technology investment priority for Malaysian SMEs, followed by purchase or upgrade of IT software (14 per cent), and cybersecurity (11 per cent).
Among the respondents, 86 per cent said they believe digitalisation will help in developing future resilience against crises like Covid-19.
"The resilience, agility, and digital transformation capabilities of SMEs will play a pivotal role in Malaysia's post-Covid-19 economic recovery," the study said.
It added that SMEs which are digitally mature enjoy higher benefits in revenue and productivity compared with those that have an indifferent approach to digitalisation.
Cisco Asean small business and commercial director Raz Mohamad said SMEs account for over 85 per cent of the total business establishments and are main contributors to private-sector employment in the region.
"While SMEs are currently facing the biggest challenge to their operations, they also have an unprecedented opportunity to accelerate their digital transformation.
"Technology can not only help solve some of their key challenges and revitalise their operations, but also help them sustain long-term growth," he said.
According to the study, about 64 per cent of Malaysian SMEs are looking to digitally transform to bring new products and services to market, a huge jump from 33 per cent last year.
"These are positive and significant developments, given that SMEs account for 98.5 per cent of all businesses, 66.2 per cent of the country's total employment and contribute 38.3 per cent to the overall GDP, making them a critical component to Malaysia's trade and commercial landscape," the study added.
In addition, 59 per cent of the respondents recognised that competition is transforming and they must keep up with the pace, while 43 per cent said they are transforming due to demand from customers.
The study also stated that SMEs are facing challenges in adopting digitalisation strategies.
According to the respondents, the shortage of digitally skilled talent is the biggest hurdle they face (21 per cent), followed by a lack of budget and commitment from the management (16 per cent).
SMEs are also found to be lacking the proper digital transformation roadmap that is critical to any organisation looking to drive substantial change (12 per cent).
It highlighted that nearly 70 per cent of SMEs in Asia-Pacific are accelerating the digitalisation of their businesses because of the pandemic.

Apex on the Precipice
If you haven't watched the short documentary entitled, "How Wolves Change Rivers," I suggest you do it now. It's only four and a half minutes. Just do it, I'll wait…
Okay, now that you have watched that, you understand trophic cascades, the way that reintroducing wolves into Yellowstone National Park back in 1995 helped the trees to grow bigger, the migratory birds to return, and the beaver population to increase. The wolves literally changed the flow of the river. But it's not just wolves.
Messing with the top predators in any given environment drastically alters the ecosystem all the way down. This is true for wolves, for humans (think about how much our every behavior and population change alters every other living thing!), for lions, and for cougars. In fact, a 2006 study found that "Increases in human visitors in Zion Canyon apparently reduced cougar densities, which subsequently led to higher mule deer densities, higher browsing intensities and reduced recruitment of riparian cottonwood trees, increased bank erosion, and reductions in both terrestrial and aquatic species abundance." In other words: the cougars changed the rivers, too.

And this is one of the reasons we need to look carefully at the Utah Wildlife Board's recent, unanimous decision to increase the number of hunting permits that it is issuing for these apex predators. Just last week, the board raised the number of permits from 531 to 581, statewide. The move came in the wake of complaints from hunters and ranchers about a growing mountain lion population.
These complaints have been given a hysterical edge from local news stories of cougars roaming through the city streets. In August, a cougar was shot in downtown Salt Lake City by a police officer. The local police sergeant said that "He got within about six feet of our officer, who shot and killed it." The officer claimed that he feared for his life, but others have been more skeptical about the danger posed by the creature. One wildlife officer who was on the scene stated that "the cougar was running out of the area" and "was not running toward a person."
This brings us to an important question: how much of our fear of mountain lions is based in fact, and how much of it is based in a scared and trigger-happy culture?
Recent efforts to more accurately track cougar populations in our neighboring state of Wyoming can give us some clue. A group named Panthera has taken careful, scientific track of the year-to-year fluctuations of the cougar population in a small region near the Teton mountains. What they have found is that, contrary to popular belief and the rhetoric of livestock industries, "the local mountain lion population has declined by 47% over the last 8-10 years."
Killing off nearly half of the population of an apex predator will significantly change the ecology of the region from the top down. Recognizing this, regulators have reduced the permits for mountain lion "harvesting" in the area to just five animals a year. Panthera hopes that this will help the population to recover in this area and act as an example for other wildlife management efforts.
According to Utah's Standard-Examiner, the Division of Wildlife Resources estimates that there are between 1,900 and 4,000 adult cougars in Utah. That's quite a gap. There could be 4,000 cougars, or less than half of that. And it makes a significant difference when we consider that 581 permits would grant hunters permission to kill more than 30% of the entire population of cougars in any given year if the population were 1,900.
Still, whether the permits account for 30% or just 14% of the cougar population, the recent move has many concerned. Allison Jones of the Wild Utah Project said "this is concerning to us as scientists." Unfortunately, the Utah DWR doesn't seem to be as concerned with science as they are with economics.
They admit that their two main factors in determining mountain lion quotas are "prey numbers and livestock depredation." The have been 65 livestock deaths linked to mountain lions this year (for which the state must compensate ranchers). 65 sheep justify the killing of 581 mountain lions? Not only is that anti-scientific, but it is also cruel.
The Panthera project in Wyoming mentioned that, besides using science to measure cougar populations and change state policy, they also rely on the fact that "Jackson is unique in Wyoming in that the majority of residents enjoy the presence of large carnivores; many feel that a hunting limit of three mountain lions is still too many."
Maybe if Utah residents understood cougars and their unique contribution to our beautiful ecology, they would feel similarly.

Home > Spiritual Life > Shabbat > Music and Dance
At TBZ, we enliven our Jewish spiritual life with song. We sing with passion and confidence, savoring the meaning and the spiritual grammar of the words. We sing songs with words and songs without words: niggunim. We sing the words written in our hearts, and the words of our liturgical poetry and sacred text from our Prayer Book.
When entering our sanctuary during services, you'll be among people enthusiastically singing out loud in Hebrew with ease and with comfort — and yet most of us are not Hebrew speakers! Our T'filot (prayers) and Shirim (songs with words) are sung in Hebrew, although at times we alternate between Hebrew and English. At TBZ, our prayers and singing are infused with Kavanah (intention), and one need not understand all the Hebrew words in a prayer or song to have a deep and transformative experience. If we can not or do not wish to read the words in the prayer book, we are encouraged to read the words on our heart. As a means of deepening our prayer and our learning experience, we are encouraged to study Hebrew.
We frequently learn new melodies to existing prayers. We invite you to teach us new melodies, words and poetry! Whether these songs are original or existing compositions, we will be delighted to include the new words and poetry on this page.
We believe, like the founders of Hasidism, that through singing Niggunim (wordless melodies) we can lift our soul to higher dimensions of spiritual experience. Yet the role of praying and singing with words is important. Each letter of the Hebrew alphabet has a mystical meaning and is part of the structure of the universe. Our Kabbalist sages teach us that when we pray, we offer words and letters to G!d which are then reshuffled to harmonize and resonate with the cosmic structure of the universe. This is part of the process of Tikkun Olam (the repair of the world).
Singing with words is also important as a link to our ancestral liturgy. Our prayer book is a vast depository replete with sacred text and liturgical poems from over two thousand years of Jewish history. The prayer book, developed during the rabbinic period in the early centuries of the Common Era, has been expanded through the ages to express the praise, longing, pleading, gratitude, love and beliefs of all the generations from which we are descended. Whether or not we know our history, when we sing the words in our prayer books, we are connecting to our past and to our roots. We make it easier for our community to connect with our past by providing accessible and relevant translations in our prayer book and especially the translations in our Kabbalat Shabbat Prayer Book: Your Presence Fills Creation and High Holy Days Prayer Book. We also offer Hebrew transliteration to many important prayers and poems.
Since Biblical times, Jews have expressed joy through dance. Throughout the centuries, dance has become a part of religious, communal, and family celebrations. Regularly at TBZ'sKabbalat Shabbat (Friday evening) services, the congregation breaks into a spontaneous hora(dance) at the end of the L'cha Dodi prayer, perhaps dancing around a soon-to-be-married couple. In our transgenerational shul, 80-somethings join the circle, dancing with 50-somethings, 30-somethings. . . and even those under 10. Together, we pray with our minds and hearts and voices — and our bodies, as we dance around the sanctuary. Come join us.

There are many subtle force reconfigurations occurring at the quantum level of the planetary mainframe that are changing the way the external and collective energy fields organize and manifest into the world. When the collective fields shift in this way, it means there has been a frequency shift in the collective agreement that impacts the overall consciousness evolution on the planet, therefore, the Timelines Shift.
We have to move through the series of Timelines in each dimensional octave and reclaim our identity while recoding and changing the obsolete or false reality from interfering with our continued spiritual growth. As we clear false and inorganic architecture from suppressing and impairing our consciousness, we are extracting the alien enslavement programming, AI Implants and Mind Control in order to embody our true inner Christos spirit and return to the Zero Point Field, the heart of the God Gateway leading into the Seven Higher Heavens.

Bifurcation of Time
Bifurcation means the splitting of a main body into two parts.Thus, the planetary fields and humanity are coming to experience the next phase of the planetary Ascension Cycle, which is the nature of Bifurcation of Time.
Lisa Renee
Dear Ascending Family,
The planet has just completed its Magnetic Peak cycle, which discharged a massive amount of magnetic force into the earth. The subatomic particles of elemental matter are rearranging to support the planetary body shift into the next harmonic universe. All communication systems connected to these levels of planetary architecture are undergoing fluctuation, reconfiguration and potentially re-building interstellar links that reconnect earth portals to realign into multiple star systems and celestial bodies. This massive shift at the quantum scale is changing the laws of structure in the architecture that governs function over our matter body, as well as our consciousness bodies.
For many multidimensional people on the path of Ascension, how we connect into many levels of the consciousness structure has radically changed, our lightbody is radically changing, and our physical body is undergoing a series of Adaptations in order to meet the new energy requirements. Our previous ways of consciousness connection and communication are in fluctuation, while our lightbody is being reconfigured to accommodate the changing planetary architecture, solar architecture and beyond.
Essentially, we are the last generation of people that were born into consciousness slavery on the third dimensional earth. We will have known consciousness slavery, and will have put an end to it in this lifetime, while in this physical body. Ascending humans are evolving into developing new abilities that change the characteristics of what it means to be human, from Dreamwalking, to Transfiguration, Translocation and Transmigration. These are revealing more of the Diamond Sun templates function as a consciousness transport between time fields, and what true freedom is. This month's newsletter will attempt to bring awareness to these multi-dimensional changes, and the opportunity we have to consciously participate as the living expression of the changing laws of structure.
Spiritual Ascension is the progression of human consciousness, governed by complex quantum mechanics as it moves throughout time and space, which is essentially about moving our consciousness intelligence from one station of reality to another. The human body is a holographic light projector for transmitting the intelligent energies of the Soul-Spirit, and is capable of shifting that Soul-Spirit body into another station of reality, into one that exists in a higher dimension of time. Descending our Soul-Spirit from the higher realms to inhabit in our cells, while shifting our consciousness into another station of reality, is happening at this time. This shift into another station of reality is made possible while we are inhabiting our current physical body and have the same birth name identity.
In previous cycles, to shift the consciousness of the Soul-Spirit in this same way, we would require another identity and body to incarnate into another timeline that existed in another station of reality. This process we have done many times before and it is described as reincarnation. During the Ascension Cycle, we have the unique ability to change the current location of our consciousness bodies, as we undergo a succession of spiritual initiations, while we have the same physical body. The accumulated memories of our Soul-Spirit intelligence streams that we have transformed within many other previous lifetimes, are being shifted out from their former location in time, as the state of our current identity and consciousness shifts. This can also be described as a mass human Soul body retrieval that is returning to populate the earth body, to be reclaimed by the physical bodies or the individual people that they actually belong to. Many people on the earth who are not awakened at this time, have aspects of their higher self that have been stuck in some damaged area of the earth body, from previous timelines where great trauma and cataclysm had transpired. As we change the location of where our previous station of identity and Soul-Spirit body had existed previously in the time field, it requires some Adaptations in order to acclimatize our physical body to these changes that are impacting the Collective Soul and the planetary consciousness structure.
Humans that can more easily adapt to the current myriad of environmental challenges and energetic factors, are undergoing types of Adaptations that are catalyzing physiological changes. The physiological changes are designed for deep and powerful consciousness transformation to be possible within a physical body on the earth. In some circumstances, as the physical body undergoes physiological Adaptations, these changes catalyze more of the metabolic, organ and glandular systems to activate or wake from dormancy, in order to prepare for the spirit to inhabit the body. The Adaptations are connecting through the bodily systems to increase vital force circulation, which facilitates connection into the spiritual-energetic circuitry. Many energetic circuits and meridians on the planet have been disconnected or damaged. As a result the main forces that exist in the human body, the life force, physical vitalities and spiritual energies, were not interconnected or functioning properly. This has contributed to the overall disconnection and lack of communication between the higher spiritual bodies and the physical human body, which impacts the entire human race.
Biological Evolution
The physiological Adaptations that are influencing humanity are in response to the series of biological and spiritual evolutionary markers that are profoundly impacting the planetary architecture, planetary elementals, and the earth element itself. The combined changes are further impacting the human phenotype as it has been documented within scientific consensus. The human race phenotype is a generalized expression of characteristics and traits influenced from the combination of the genetics, behavioral and environmental factors, as well as the variety of influences stemming from the collective consciousness. Science does not include the many factors of artificial intelligence, genetic modification and mind control, playing a direct role in shaping and controlling the traits of the human phenotype. The human phenotype describes the physical characteristics and traits that define the species of human beings. As we transition from one root race to another, these species factors, such as the physiological functions of the human body, are rapidly responding to the massive alterations that are occurring in the earth body. This means that the collective human blueprint and human bodies are responding to the impending biological evolution that is required as a result of the planet's structural shift. The current evolutionary pressures are causing (energy to form) anomalies to occur, especially within many environmental and physical factors. This new consciousness platform requires specific physiological Adaptations to the genetic changes that are occurring in the human race, in order to acclimate to the new set of conditions and energies that we are being further exposed to, as they are related to the human evolutionary process. Those awakening now are in the forefront of embodying these Adaptations as they are the consciousness bridge spanning into the future birth cycle of the next root race of the human species.
Adaptive Traits lead to Identity Rebirth
Structural, physiological and behavioral Adaptations are necessitated by the deep impacts that are being made by current evolutionary forces sweeping onto the planet, reaching critical mass. Behavioral adaptation to the changing consensus that humanity is manifesting the consciousness state of the global reality through a self-directed thought follows energy paradigm, as well as, adapting to the energetic conditions that realization imposes on the entire species, is an example of adaptive traits coming online. Behavioral adaptations such as these resonate with the Universal Laws and as such, they further activate the higher DNA functions in the human biology.
For the human race to survive in this new energetic terrain, we are being forced to transform our beliefs and develop a variety of new behavioral patterns of adaptive traits. Adaptive traits stimulated by higher truths, such as comprehending the Universal Laws through which we are governed, further support evolution of the collective human race blueprint, by helping to catalyze the future generations' capacity to better evolve into higher functioning DNA. The human race is currently in a phase of Adaptation to the planetary evolutionary process, and this is a difficult reeducation and learning process required to continue to evolve and develop higher consciousness. It is made difficult because of the current mind control state over the nature of reality and the lack of public knowledge being shared about the rapid shifts impacting the planet, that describe planetary ascension. At the individual level, each person must decide if they are willing to open their mind and release dependencies upon the old paradigm and their subjugation to the Controller archetype as their main authority. The Controller archetype of the False King of Tyranny exists everywhere; inside people that are politicians, employers, gurus, any person we give our power away to willingly. At this time, we must distinguish the differences between discerning Tyrants and true Leaders, as these are very different roles and should not be confused or equated. A true Leader does not want to take our power away, while a Tyrant will take the position of total authority over others. To spiritually evolve, we cannot play into the Controller games anymore, we must reclaim our personal power and accept responsibility for ourselves.
The thought paradigm must shift so that our species is able to acclimate to the new energy platform, which essentially is creating a new energetic terrain and new earthly habitat. Our species is evolving into the next progression of root race, and the body we inhabit now is a hybrid. It has the ability to spiritually evolve and transition into the new root race DNA imprint with the support of the planet's new consciousness structure. Essentially, we are the last generation of people that will have known consciousness slavery, and will have put an end to it in this lifetime, while in this physical body.
Currently, those on the ascending path may undergo deep transformation that is similar to a personal identity rebirth, which reveals a new higher self-version in place of their former ego selves. The rebirth process is the soul actualization of the personality, the soul ray infuses the layers of ego with the higher qualities of the true essence and higher nature of that individual.
To go through this dimensional shift, we must change the destructive ways of thinking and behaving we had inherited from the 3D thought forms of the Controller's predator mind, and adapt to the accumulative impacts that the current energy shifts create. If we can reeducate ourselves to learn what it means to stay in the energy flow of the moment and not resist the need for change, then adaptation to the planetary shift is much easier.
The intergalactic transmissions are recreating the structures of the planet, and are essentially, recreating the human race to evolve into the higher self-version of their former personality selves. This process is undetectable to the five main senses of a person who is limited by 3D consciousness, and refuses to break through the reality boxes that they co-created with the 3D earth elements. Generally, the profile of this person is developed in their mental body and personality, and unintegrated with the other levels. There is a difference between reality boxes that are co-created with personal choice, and those which have been used to ensnare people into consciousness traps, based on the hidden pain and trauma that they believe IS the reality box. The discernment is in knowing when people are being intentionally deceived, using the predator mind, in order to use other people's energy that has been parasitized and stolen for the Controller agenda. Which is forcing people to repeat their painful trauma patterns, without their consent or knowledge, in order to gain more material power and control over them while they are inside the reality box.
Quantic Field Impact to Space-Time
Currently, the planetary body is undergoing a space-time reorganization that ripples out many strange anomalies that influence the quantic field. As a result, there are new patterns of electromagnetic disturbances, interruption or distortions in the collective field. The quantum field, also referred to as inner space-time, is rippling these effects into the unmanifest layers of the core manifestation template, otherwise known as the blueprint matrices that make up the layers of morphogenetic fields in the earth. Gridworkers may feel the blueprint structure in the planetary field transforming completely with the shifting timelines, and this feels like something very different, extraordinary and even bizarre is occurring in the earth fields. It feels like it is a new design that is encompassing our consciousness with the necessity to learn a foreign language, and yet it feels distantly familiar and vastly powerful. The blueprint alterations impact the dark matter template, and this appears to have direct consequences to altering and changing the earth elements, and the elemental structure of the earth body.
This also changes our consciousness interface while we are on the planet, which forces us to adapt and find new ways of communicating with the earth, and our connections with Star family. The architectural changes extend to include areas connected as portals on the earth, leading into off planet structures that reach into the Solar System and beyond. All communication systems connected to these levels of planetary architecture are undergoing fluctuation, reconfiguration and it appears to be re-building interstellar links that reconnect earth portals to realign into multiple star systems and celestial bodies. Some of these platforms being built are for the purpose of transiting out many inhabitants that have existed in the space-time areas on the earth that must be moved somewhere else, and as a result are undergoing space-time reorganization at the end of the Cosmic time cycle.
The subatomic particles of elemental matter are re-arranging within the new atomic structure that is in the process of being built to support the planetary body shift into the next harmonic universe. Subatomic particles are particles that are much smaller than atoms, and describe particle shifts at the quantum scale of matter and energy. Subatomic particles, such as electrons, protons and neutrons, make up atoms and are the building blocks of matter. As subatomic particles rearrange, it stimulates ionization of atoms which produces electrical energy and a series of chemical reactions in the body. The human body when subjected to strong electromagnetic signals, or activated Kundalini, is capable of biological ionization that can generate plasma fields. In the ascending human body, ionization produces higher frequency plasma light for continuing to build our liquid plasma spiritual body. Eventually, we evolve to the point that we shift out from the chakra configurations in the lightbody that exist in the lower creation realms, in order to build a plasma lightbody structure. This structure (merkaba) is for a traveling orb body that can house our higher plasma consciousness. This state of lightbody structure, chakras or orb body, signify the difference between reincarnation through the lower densities of space-time, or being freed from the lower constructs of space and time that allow our consciousness body to travel beyond the Solar System.
We are Form and We are Formless
The planetary elements of earth, water, air and fire are the fundamental building blocks of nature and form into compounds that make up our physical body. If we recognize our physical body is made up of these elements, particles and atoms, and our light body is made up of consciousness units that exist at an even smaller scale, and those quantum units are generating new levels of photonic or plasmic energy, then we realize that our entire consciousness body is undergoing a massive change at the quantum scale. This massive shift at the quantum scale is changing the laws of structure in the architecture that governs function over our matter body, as well as our consciousness bodies. Ascending humans are evolving into developing new abilities that change the characteristics of what was previously thought to be a human.
Adaptations are occurring so that our higher consciousness intelligence can exist in matter, and simultaneously, we can experience multidimensional awareness in other timelines, yet be as unbound to time as plasma waves while travelling in the field.
This is comprehending that our human energy field and physical body is reaching a new threshold of consciousness experience, through which we can directly experience the mechanics of wave and particle duality, happening in our body simultaneously. This was always functioning in our body at the quantum level, but we now can recognize and participate with that function in our consciousness, as its happening. We are form and we are formless, simultaneously. In this new structure, we are able to experience our consciousness body as formless, shapeless, and moving through time functioning as a wave, while our physical body form is connected to earth and still functioning within the principles of matter. Ascending humans are becoming aware that both states of being, formless and in form, are possible to exist within simultaneous or spiral time, and as the conscious observer of time, we can still remain unbound to the station of time and its constructs. As an example, in meditation or consciousness transport, we are experiencing another level of timeless, formless, and flowing movement that is unbound to space and time, in which our consciousness may more easily time travel or bi-locate. The lightbody becomes free from the constraints of time and space to more easily time travel. When time travelling or dreamwalking we can merge our consciousness body with the available consciousness energy to generate more plasma substance, uniting with the manifestation of new structural supports, such as holding pillars, Stargates and portals that help the earth and humanity to evolve in the Ascension timeline. The Diamond Sun consciousness body has the capacity to function as its own Stargate, from the inner space, quantum level, where the consciousness transforms into nonvisible waves of light and travels great distances very quickly.
For those that have embodied beyond the soul matrix and into monadic consciousness, this new sensation of the change of quantum scale and properties in the function of one's consciousness energy, will be experienced in much more tangible ways. Something intangible that is occurring in the quantum of our own body, is gradually becoming more tangible and substantial in the physical. The consciousness body is adapting into new functions that provide structural supports for the planet outside of time, and to bridge for the genetic tribe or group to which we are connected, to achieve higher consciousness attainment in this ending cycle. For those that are newly awakening, and beginning to embody the soul and chakra functions, this macrocosmic structure will not yet be apparent. The primary focus for those Soul groups will be to work on self-mastery over the lower chakras, and to develop the foundation of the structure for the inner spirit to fully inhabit the physical body.
This is very important, as for many multidimensional people on the path of Ascension, this means how we connect into many levels of the consciousness structure has radically changed, our lightbody is radically changing, and our physical body is undergoing a series of adaptations in order to meet the new energy requirements. Our body may feel different and exhibit strange symptoms. Our previous ways of consciousness connection and communication are in fluctuation, while our lightbody is being reconfigured to accommodate the changing planetary architecture, solar architecture and beyond.
Dreamwalking and Consciousness Transport
As the quantum field impacts the organization of space and time, those of us on the Ascension path may be more easily entering altered consciousness states that could be defined as dreamwalking. In this definition, the function of dreamwalking is not entering or interfering with any person's dreams. As a spiritual initiate, when dedicating our consciousness to serve unity, while on the path of earth service, we discipline ourselves to master states of compassionate selflessness. We are connected, listening and feeling into our internal guidance systems at all times. This means we are mindful of the direction of our consciousness energies, and we work towards transcending our thoughts beyond personal material concerns, rising above the many pitfalls of the negative ego games played in the material world. As we develop ourselves spiritually, and the inner inspiration to be of service increases with greater passion, many of us will find ourselves in the dreamwalking or remote viewing consciousness state in more spontaneous ways.
Dreamwalking is to walk or transport one's consciousness to observe and heal the patterns and events transpiring in many alternate realities, timelines, and to see the nature of the structure of what created them, and to partner with God to find and remove reality boxes or dark portals that are used as consciousness traps. Dreamwalking is an altered state of heightened consciousness while in the pure observer state, it can occur while in another timeline, reality or existing outside of time. While in this altered state, we can bring that which was unconscious into our conscious awareness, so we can directly participate with that content while in our higher consciousness. The path of awakening is to bring that which is unconscious into consciousness, in order to heal the darkness or reveal the deception in order to see the greater truth. This is the state of bringing the eternal light to illuminate the shadows of darkness, thereby alchemically transforming its nature to reflect the higher truth, as the light shines upon it.
We may prepare for entering this state by opening into deep prayer, meditation, and focused attention, which may help us to inspire creativity, healing, knowledge, and communication and exchanges with other beings. Indigenous peoples, Native Americans, Aborigines, Tibetans and the Celtic peoples are the earth tribes which carried the codes of the dreamwalkers in time, and were helping to protect the earth by keeping this genetic pattern alive and its memory available for the human race during the Dark Age. The earliest dreamwalkers after the cataclysm, were the women of this earth that formed from the Grandmother Turtle codes that were carried over from Lemuria's matriarchal society, to keep this secret consciousness knowledge away from the invaders. Lemuria suffered a great holocaust to obliterate the power that the women had developed on the earth, with dreamwalker and Essene Templar abilities. As the Mother principle and daughter codes surface onto the earth from deep within the crystal caverns, this codified language is returning to some of the women or men in their current embodiment, that were incarnated at the time or are descendants of those original tribes in Lemuria. This group of dreamwalkers, have returned to help restore the balance of the divine feminine principle on the earth, and many are found in the Native American or aboriginal culture.
In the higher dimensions of creation, when we hold the energetic signature and feeling of a person, place or thing, our consciousness is automatically transported to wherever they are located. Consciousness transport can happen while awake, asleep, in altered states or by intently focusing on a certain person or situation, such as focusing on a physical location or timeline on the earth body. An example is that we can transport our consciousness energy when we hold intent to connect with a city, historical site, power spot or megalithic structure, especially when we are dedicated in service to unity. Consciousness transference states, such as dreamwalking, are more natural states for those in the awakening groups of Indigos or Starseeds. Consciousness transport and transference states can be learned and developed through any kind of practice in which the person, uninitiated or initiated, seeks to gain deeper knowledge of the state of unity that exists between God and Self. However, many Starseeds and Indigos have developed these consciousness transport skills through previous incarnations where mental mastery, polarity integration, love and devotion, were a way of life in the higher realms of existence. As a result, dreamwalking and consciousness transport can happen with or without applying direct effort and intention to do so, as it is a function of the memories that are coming online that are recorded with higher genetic imprints. These dormant skills become awakened in people during the Ascension cycle.
Gridworkers are often engaged in a variety of forms of consciousness transport, in order to hold observer point and witnessing of the events recorded in time that have occurred in the past or future, to impact the histories of the human race evolution on the earth. The act of observation collapses certain wave potentiality that makes a situation, event or object become physical or change in ways that shift the timelines, and this is not measurable by current science. It is a direct function of higher consciousness embodiment to shift timelines from destructive probabilities or annihilation, by restoring harmony and energetic balance between the polarities. When we observe electromagnetic wave-forms, archetypal patterns and the creational myth or dream symbols active in the field, we can change the physical environment and how that electromagnetic signal or pattern is being expressed in the manifest. The act of compassionate witnessing during consciousness transport, such as dreamwalking, allows us to witness what has happened to the earth body, where the earth was damaged, and the blueprint content that influences the direction of the collective consciousness of humanity. Where the earth has been damaged, is also the location of tremendous amounts of human pain that is stuck in that area. As a result of this trauma, the accumulated collective human soul pain has been made into energy harvesting stations for the NAA.
While dreamwalking the earth timelines, we are able to source the origin of who, what and where in the creation stories, the dreamtime narratives or creational myths that are recorded in that section of the planetary body and its network. Sometimes, we can track the transmission source to off planet structures, like constellations, messier objects, planets and other astronomical bodies. The collective human race is directly impacted by that content transmission, such as creation myths, archetypes, numerical coding, and mind control frequencies, which get recorded into the blueprints and timelines of the earth. As has been described, many of the planet's morphogenetic fields were abused with inserts of alien code used by the Controllers for mind control programming, to promote collective archetypes that control the minds of the people on the earth. Essentially, this combination of archetypal patterning for exerting control over the minds of the people, has manifested distorted behavioral human phenotypes, where traits belonging to the reptilian and refugee races have been imprinted on the human population.
While dreamwalking, it is possible to observe any kind of event that occurred in a location that has recorded collective consciousness archetypes, symbols, number codes, geometric patterns, holographic inserts and the narratives they create, to influence the minds and control the operating consciousness levels of the people on the earth.
Transfiguration, Translocation, and Transmigration
As the planet's consciousness structure is changing, the planet is undergoing chakra cone reconfiguration and this is impacting how the individual chakras function in a person. For some this means they may unify all of their chakra layers. This has impacts to the way the human energy field, or the lightbody functions. When we are moving into a higher frequency aspect that is reconfiguring the function and operation of our lightbody, this exchanges information about the way the merkaba spins. If our merkaba is working and spins correctly, it governs the ability of our consciousness to be able to move in and out of the time and space fields. The planet has just completed its Magnetic Peak cycle, which discharged a massive amount of magnetic force into the earth. Changes that occur during magnetic force exposure are explicitly related to stimulate DNA responses that may gain further activation of DNA fire codes.
DNA fire codes are related to time vectors, and as such, they are relational to being able to function in a consciousness transport in between time fields. When there is change directed into the planetary magnetic field, that shifts electromagnetism, whether natural or artificial, the result is that is directly stimulating changes to occur in the DNA and its fire codes. There are natural consciousness transport functions in the Diamond Sun lightbody that have been mutated and reversed on the earth to prevent their access. There are three main ways to describe the stages of consciousness transport in the Diamond Sun template that allow us to move our consciousness, between this point in time and another point in time, or outside of time. These extend into further stages more complex than dreamwalking, because they are direct functions of the activated Diamond Sun body. These are Transfiguration, Translocation, and Transmigration.
Transfiguration: Transfiguration is in the first stages of activating the Diamond Sun Krystic Consciousness. When that function starts coming online there is an integration that occurs between the atomic layer of the physical body, and the light body layers that exist in the soul, and spirit body of our monad. When we start connecting to the eternal divine source body, which is the liquid plasma field or the Christ consciousness, this is what we call the Avatar Source. Once we undergo a level of integration with the Avatar Source, the body starts to be able to perform transfiguration. Transfiguration means that the person can shift their consciousness body into light. In the first stages of developing transfiguration, this is usually happening in the sleep state. We learn how to travel during sleep state, and the first stage is learning how to bi-locate. Bi-location means that the higher self of the person put themselves in their merkaba body and they went elsewhere and then they came back. When this occurs, we leave the physical body here. So when in sleep state, the physical body is here, but the person leaves their body at night. The Diamond Sun consciousness leaves the physical body traveling in light, while sleeping to accomplish many other projects that are beyond the astral plane. Many people are experiencing that while doing community projects, meeting in places and having these lucid experiences in dreamtime. This is a level of where our higher consciousness intelligence is learning how to bi-locate while leaving the body here sleeping.
Translocation: The second stage of this is translocation. This level is when the consciousness is able to transfigure a portion of your atoms into light, meaning the physical body can be transfigured into light. In the previous stage, the body was left here on earth and the person is projecting their consciousness out, they are going somewhere else and looking at the view, but they come back into the body. Now in the next stage of translocation, there is a certain part of the atoms in that body that are transfigured into light, temporarily. So that person can go visit somewhere else, and take a portion of their atoms or their body with them while they travel. During translocation, the person is still encrypted or connected to the space-time location of where they were physically born. As an example, say the body transfigures into light and the person travels to another planet. The people on the planet that is being visited are going to know that person is from the earth, because that person is still holding the space-time location of where they came from, of where they were born. The identity that person has is still holding the encryption of the birth transduction sequence that energetically reveals that person is from the earth. So that means that part of you is still genetically keyed to the earth body, and that the energetic signature reveals the location of where your identity was born. Translocation means that we can transfigure a portion of our physical body to go someplace else, but we still have the genetic imprint from our parents and where we were born on planet earth.
Transmigration: This is the third and final stage of developing full consciousness freedom. This is similar to the process of translocation, however, the person does not have to come back to the earth at all. Now the person can go anyplace in the Cosmos that they choose to go without limitation. (However, if they go to another planet, they will be subjected to the laws of that planets inhabitants). This is the status of having a cosmic identity and being a full Cosmic Citizen. This has been accomplished a few times on the earth historically, but the current planetary miasma mutations can make this very hard, although it may become easier in the future. Transmigration is one way to describe what it means to be free. That when we project our consciousness body out, we don't have to come back to the earth, nor do we have to incarnate back here. In order to be able to achieve a full transmigration of our consciousness body and physical body, we must have released the miasmatic record and the cell we inherited from our biological parents. There is a cell that is carried from the family of origin that is recorded into the physical body at birth that was inherited from the biological parents. It is a cell that was created in the chromosomes at the time the egg and sperm of our biological parents united. This cell becomes a part of the seed of the physical body that we are incarnated in. Once the family of origin cell is freed, it gets cleared from the body, and as it releases, it vaporizes. At this point of transmigration, the person is now a Cosmic Citizen. They may hold memories of being on the earth, but their identity isn't necessarily that. This third stage is something that is very special, unique, and specific to the Diamond Sun body and Krystal Consciousness in order to achieve full sovereignty and spiritual freedom.
Earth Element is Transforming
As a result of the structural and architectural changes influencing the earth body, the earth element and earth substance as a raw material, for matter forms is also transforming. All planetary elements are shifting, however, the relationship that the earth body has specifically connected to the spleen functions, has direct relevance to the current transformation impacting the emotional body and the blood production in the physical body. The spleen governs transportation and transformation of what we consume, into energy that builds and protects the blood. The blood holds our entire consciousness record blueprint. As such, this is entirely related to the main shifts that are occurring between our higher consciousness as it translates into our physical body into the blood stream, as these records are beginning to circulate and connect into the physical body differently.
The Wounds of Christ are karmic blood miasms recorded in the planetary body and collective human body from Crucifixion Implants that were holographically inserted into the planetary brain. These inserts misdirected and stole the planetary life force and crucified the human body parts belonging to our spirit. One important area of the human body that was impacted from the planetary inserts was the Spleen implant, located on our 7D axiatonal line, in the left side ribcage. These false crucifixion stories and holographic inserts are how the planetary collective mind was invaded, to reflect the salvation model of a crucified deity, to spread organized religion. This represented the enslavement of humanity to recycle their Souls from tainted blood and blood sacrifice, which is what the crucifixion story actually is. The current evolutionary stage is impacting the release or surfacing of these human blood records and their histories, and as a result, there is a detoxification and shift occurring in our blood, and potentially, the full release of the spleen implant.
The human spleen was dormant from implants that prevented it from regenerating our red blood cells and protecting the white blood cells that record our spiritual consciousness memories and histories. The spleen's higher function is to protect and spiritualize our blood, to nourish our blood and to circulate that spiritual essence in partnership with the heart, to communicate that essence into the other organs through our blood. The spleen is responsible for the removal of old red blood cells, and the production and storage of white blood cells, which cleanse infection from the blood. The spleen is directly related to healing tissues, repairing cellular integrity, keeping muscles strong and nourished, and managing the immune responses throughout our body. The spleen is functionally equivalent to a large lymph node that focuses on cleansing our blood and supporting immunity from invaders. Blood diseases and related issues from the cleansing of the Wounds of the Christ as they are surfacing from cellular memories, may be clearing out and removing crucifixion blockages, and this can manifest into related physical symptoms. All that is related to protecting and nourishing our blood is especially relevant at this time. The main five organs as defined by traditional Chinese medicine, the liver, lung, spleen, heart and kidney, may need extra care and attention.
Stomach and Spleen Relationship
This imbalance can escalate many physical and emotional issues for the people of the earth, as their body and sense of identity in relationship with the earth element, is greatly fluctuating and transforming. When we are out of balance and feeling disharmonious with the earth element, we feel extremely depleted, drained, and emotionally unhappy. Traditional Chinese medicine considers that the Spleen is one of the most important organs functioning within our body. When we consider the higher functions of the spleen as designed is to purify, protect and spiritualize our blood, and that it was crucified in the earth element by the NAA to stop its proper functioning in the human body, then this has direct significance and spiritual importance. Reflecting on this relationship to see if there is resonance in our own body may be helpful to reveal ways we can better support the physiological changes that are occurring in the planet, that are impacting the earth element of our body.
Our relationship with food, consumption, and energy management is also changing, and some of us may feel pain or over sensitivity in the solar plexus region from being unable to digest our food, unable to digest our reality, while feeling unable to process the amount of intense emotions we feel. This impacts the stomach and spleen from being able to transform what we do consume into proper nourishment and circulating them into vital forces that the body requires to stay strong. When the spleen and stomach suffer damage, food and drink stagnate and do not transform, the mouth loses its ability to distinguish flavors and the extremities feel limp and tired. Discomfort, bloating and distention are felt in the stomach and abdominal regions, symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea appear, or there may be excessive bleeding. Many chronic and difficult health problems such as edema, chronic fatigue syndrome, insomnia, hair loss, iron deficiency, irregular periods, infertility, can be due to a disorder of the spleen function. This pattern is very common in our culture, not only because of the spleen crucifixion implant, but also because of the culture of disconnection we are subjected to. As well as the excessive thinking high stress and irregular eating habits that are a result of our busy daily schedules.
During this phase, it may be supportive to the overall functioning of the body to consider ways that you may directly learn how to support your spleen's higher function, as it is coming online. The spleen is the center of transporting the energy of what's processed in our stomach, into our blood and transforms that into healthy vital forces that the body can use to regenerate and strengthen itself. Western medicine does not consider the spleens importance at any level, and thus, researching traditional Chinese medicine that understands the spleen as an essential organ for our body's health, and agrees with the fact that everything is interconnected with energy, may be much more productive.
Please only take what is useful for your spiritual growth and discard all the rest. Thank you for your courage and bravery to be a truth seeker.
I am God, Sovereign, Free!
Until next, stay in the luminosity of your Avatar Christos Sophia heart path. Please be kind to yourself and each other. GSF!

Alhambra Palace
Emerald Order Guardians brought to our attention the next stage of reclamation of Christos and Return of the Emerald Order that began on 11:11 with the Cosmic Mother Dragon reclaiming her body parts in the sacred architecture connected to the Alhambra Palace in Spain. Essentially, the Cosmic Mother's sophianic heart principle has a galactic access point within the Alhambra Palace complex, which holds an incredibly powerful secret of natural alignment with galactic nodes. The Cosmic Mother Dragon connected with the Unis Mundi in this location and transmitted light seed codes into Alhambra through her sacred rainbow dragon breath through the 11:11 gateway, as a part of the solar fire that anoints and reclaims sacred structures on the Earth for their true divine purpose. Alhambra's recent retrieval from the anti-human vandals inverting its sacred architecture and spiritual properties in base 10 reversals, begins another stage of planetary architecture restoration of the sacred crystal heart of the Triple Solar Masculine and Triple Solar Feminine, which is necessary for the reseating of King Arthur and Queen Meri-Guinevere within the Triple Solar Solomon Temple being built in the Albion.

The role of geographic scale in testing the income inequality hypothesis as an explanation of health disparities
Soc Sci Med. 2012 Sep;75(6):1022-31. doi: 10.1016/j.socscimed.2012.04.032. Epub 2012 May 24.

This study re-examined the role of geographic scale in measuring income inequality and testing the income inequality hypothesis (IIH) as an explanation of health disparities. We merged Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) 2000 data with income inequality indices constructed at different geographic scales to test the association between income inequality and four different health indicators, i.e., self-assessed health status as a morbidity measure, vaccination against influenza as a measure of use of preventive healthcare, having any kind of health insurance as a measure of access, and obesity as a modifiable health risk factor measure. Multilevel models are used in our regression of the health indicators on measures of income inequalities and control variables. Our analysis suggests that because income inequality is a contextual variable, income inequalities measured at different geographic scales have different interpretations and relate to societal characteristics at different levels. Therefore, a rejection of the IIH at one level does not necessarily negate the possibility that income inequality affects health at another level. Assessment across a variety of scales is needed to have a comprehensive picture of the IIH in any given study. Empirical results also show that whether the IIH holds could depend on the sex group examined and the health indicator used, which implies different mechanisms of IIH exist for different sex groups and health indicators, in addition to the geographic scale. The role of geographic scale should be more rigorously considered in social determinants of health research.

As Huawei launches appeal of US tech ban, UK Gov may follow US lead
Dec 5, 2019 Posted by Brendan Drain

The UK government has cast doubt on whether it will allow Huawei to be involved in its 5G rollout, while the firm has launched an appeal of the United States branding it a security threat.
The struggle between Chinese telecoms manufacturer Huawei and key world governments continues this week as the company has launched a fresh legal challenge in the US Court of Appeal. The US added Huawei to a list of banned technology providers back in May in an effort to prevent the company from supplying critical infrastructure for the US 5G network, and has since issued a ban on mobile providers using government funds to buy Huawei equipment.
The UK government announced in April that it would allow Huawei to supply non-critical equipment such as antennas to the UK 5G network, but then later explained that a decision hadn't actually been reached yet. Most recently, the German government announced that it wouldn't prevent Huawei from supplying equipment for its 5G networks.
The whole issue kicked off last year when the Chinese government passed a law requiring all companies to co-operate with state intelligence operations. This prompted fears from international partners that Huawei could at any point be legally compelled to give the Chinese government access to snoop on its 5G network infrastructure.
While the UK Government has yet to make a decision regarding Huawei's involvement in building the UK 5G network, Prime Minister Boris Johnson hinted at a recent Nato summit that the UK may follow the United States' lead:
"I don't want this country to be hostile to investment from overseas," explained Johnson, adding "On the other hand, we cannot prejudice our vital national security interests nor can we prejudice our ability to cooperate with other Five Eyes security partners. That will be the key criterion that informs our decision about Huawei."
