New Benefit of Resveratrol

Resveratrol packs a one two punch. It activates key stem cells for circulatory healing and its also activates telomase which is clearly prospective in terms of outright life extension.

Needless to say, taking supplements is strongly indicated. Even better it supports the arguments for the benefits of grapes and the strong red fruit in our diets. The best take home that I get from this is that it is a really good idea to make dried fruit and nut blends a mainstay of your snacking needs to pretty well the exclusion of anything else. I made that last comment mainly because anything else is generally unsatisfactory and simply by default, I use this regimen. I am merely making it easy for you as you have little choice to begin with.

This is important medical information that is not yet common knowledge and it needs to be. Share it.

New Benefit of Resveratrol

http://www.alsearsmd.com

Here’s great news that will help you slash your risk of heart attack, high blood pressure and all forms of heart disease: Researchers uncovered “hidden” benefits from the popular heart and longevity nutrient resveratrol.

Turns out resveratrol stimulates the production of adult stem cells called endothelial progenitor cells.

These stem cells are so powerful, they have the ability to seek out, repair and heal the trouble areas in the lining of your blood vessels called the endothelial cell barrier or ECB.

Since the release of a landmark study published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2003, scientists and researchers have focused more and more on the power of these endothelial progenitor cells.

And for good reason. The study from the New England Journal of Medicine showed a “strong correlation” between the number of progenitor cells circulating in the blood and a person’s overall risk of heart disease.1

The connection is so strong, I could make the case that the number of progenitor cells will become the new “marker” of cardiovascular health, even replacing the two major forms of cholesterol, HDL and LDL.

Simply stated, the more of these progenitor cells you have, the more likely you are to avoid disease. This view is supported by the fact that patients with diabetes, high blood pressure and/or cardiovascular disease have low levels of progenitor cells.

Studies showed, “the number of endothelial progenitor cells was significantly reduced in patients with hypercholesteroemia (extremely high cholesterol levels) compared with that in control subjects.”2

In these patients with very high cholesterol, they found the ability of endothelial progenitor cells to proliferate, migrate, adhere to vessel walls and induce the regeneration of blood vessels was weakened.

Resveratrol had the opposite effect.

In many recent studies I’ve read, I find that resveratrol increases the number of these endothelial progenitor cells.3,4,5,6

Resveratrol also has the distinction of activating telomerase, the enzyme that rebuilds your telomeres.

These two critical functions are enabled by resveratrol’s ability to “turn on” genes that promote longevity, and “turn off” genes that promote disease.7

By influencing the way genes are expressed, resveratrol has the ability to activate anti-aging genes called sirtuins.

Sirtuins transmit signals to every cell in your body that literally cancel out the effects of aging. They bring the processes that lead cell death to a crawl, buying your body more time to repair the DNA damage that brings life to an end.

I recommend adding foods rich in resveratrol to your diet. They include grapes and vacciniumberries like blueberries, bilberries and cranberries. Peanuts also have resveratrol.

Wine and related beverages are a particularly good source of dietary resveratrol. But you’d need to drink hundreds of glasses of wine to experience the life-extending benefits of resveratrol.[ please note this - arclein]

Resveratrol supplements are a better option. They’re inexpensive and completely safe. You can take it any time of day, with or without food. You can find them in health food stores or on line. I recommend taking at least 10 mg to 20 mg per day for telomerase activation and the stimulation of endothelial progenitor cells.

Chinese Experiment Confirms Light Speed for Gravity

Yes, it should. Yet if matter is created, its effect on the universe is instantaneous. All good fun.

This is a delightful experiment and it nicely comes up with the right answer. Even better as we go out into to solar system, this can be replicated everywhere to great effect and will become a standard.

Thus any residual doubts about gravity been linked electromagnetic propagation can be set firmly aside.

I am presently using a superior nomenclature to describe what has been called electromagnetic radiation or anything else. My descriptive phrase is now partially bounded curvature or pbc. Bounded curvature or bc is effective for discussing particles. A Mobius strip is a partially bounded curvature. I am doing this because the historical language interferes with the communication of these ideas.

Chinese scientists find evidence for speed of gravity

by Staff Writers

Beijing (XNA) Dec 28, 2012

http://www.spacedaily.com/reports/Chinese_scientists_find_evidence_for_speed_of_gravity_999.html

Chinese scientists revealed Wednesday that they have found evidence supporting the hypothesis that gravity travels at the speed of light based on data gleaned from observing Earth tides.

Scientists have been trying to measure the speed of gravity for years through experiments and observations, but few have found valid methods.

By conducting six observations of total and annular solar eclipses, as well as Earth tides, a team headed by Tang Keyun, a researcher with the Institute of Geology and Geophysics under the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), found that the Newtonian Earth tide formula includes a factor related to the propagation of gravity.

"Earth tide" refers to a small change in the Earth's surface caused by the gravity of the moon and sun.

Based on the data, the team, with the participation of the China Earthquake Administration and the University of the CAS, found that gravitational force released from the sun and gravitational force recorded at ground stations on Earth did not travel at the same speed, with the time difference exactly the same as the time it takes for light to travel from the sun to observation stations on Earth.

The scientists admitted that the observation stations are located near oceans, indicating that the influence of ocean tides might have been strong enough to interfere with the results.

Consequently, the team conducted separate observations of Earth tides from two stations in Tibet and Xinjiang, two inland regions that are far away from all four oceans, as well as took measures to filter out other potential disturbances.

By applying the new data to the propagation equation of gravity, the team found that the speed of gravity is about 0.93 to 1.05 times the speed of light with a relative error of about 5 percent, providing the first set of strong evidence showing that gravity travels at the speed of light.

Their findings have been published online in English by German science and technology publishing group Springer.

Printed articles in both Chinese and English will be carried in a January 2013 edition of the Chinese Science Bulletin, according to the CAS Institute of Geology and Geophysics.

Peer to Peer Sharing

This is all about sharing mobility and using modern communication to manage it all. Applying it to other services is surely plausible if it can be cost effective and also secure. We have a huge amount of under used capacity out there that can be tapped cheaply.

The hard part is trusting the random user. That needs to be well sorted out and damage control has to be as convenient. Do that and confidence will soon make it a winner.

We will watch this phenomena over the next couple of years to see just how it does shake out. All the problems will need to be well worked out and the automotive industry has the best handle on this.

Peer-to-peer sharing went big in 2012 — and so did opposition

By Susie Cagle

http://grist.org/news/peer-to-peer-sharing-went-big-in-2012-and-so-did-opposition/

This year, ride-sharing services Lyft and Sidecar amassed millions in new funding. Uber, which lets passengers hail idle town cars with their smartphones, expanded to new cities from San Francisco to New York. And Airbnb, which makes it easy for people to rent out their homes or rooms for short periods, expects to be filling more rooms per night than Hilton by the end of the year.

And yet, in a number of cities across the country, these businesses are illegal. New things are scary. And new things that grow really fast are the scariest.

2012 saw increased acceptance and growth in sharing and peer-to-peer businesses, presenting new options for consumers and new problems for established businesses and government regulators. As these new businesses grew, so did their collective disruptive force.

As Tim Wu wrote at The New York Times, “Change isn’t always pretty, but a healthy city is one where old systems — even the hallowed taxi medallion — stand to be challenged by the winds of creative destruction.”

New tech makes these businesses possible, but their sustained success doesn’t hinge on advances in smartphone design or social networking. We’re choosing peer-to-peer because we want to do business differently. We actually kind of want to pretend like we’re not doing business at all.

Lyft and Sidecar enable individuals with their own cars to find and drive customers, keeping the majority of the fare with a small chunk going to the company.

LyftThe detachable pink mustache lets ride-seekers know this is a Lyft.

“The big difference between the Lyft experience and the cab experience is supposedly friendliness. That’s why they bill themselves as ‘your friend with a car,’” Lyft driver Kate Dollarhyde told me. “A lot of my customers tell me they prefer Lyft because they feel more safe than they do in cabs, and also because they feel they can talk to and make friends with drivers.”

In an increasingly inhospitable, unfriendly world, peer-to-peer business sells you on, well, your peers. Lyft, which launched in San Francisco this summer with plans to expand into Seattle and Los Angeles in 2013, is selling community. But it’s also selling savings. Dollarhyde says Lyft trains drivers to inform customers that the rides cost about $4 less than a cab.

Even with those lower fares, Lyft can be a real source of income for drivers: “I make more money driving for Lyft per hour than I have doing anything else,” said Dollarhyde.

Airbnb can also be a significant moneymaker for participants. ”Ultimately, we want to empower people and we have thousands of people around the world that are making an incredible, meaningful amount of revenue,” Airbnb cofounder and CEO Brian Chesky told CBS. “We’ve helped thousands of people stay in their homes.”

Peer-to-peer business also empowers service providers to not provide services to clients with bad reputations; the companies let participants rate customers as well as car drivers and homeowners. ”At the end of every ride, passengers rate drivers and drivers rate passengers,” Dollarhyde tells me. “Five stars is the baseline; everyone starts out at the top. You deduct stars for rude behavior, like barfing in someone’s car, being a jerk, or generally making a ride uncomfortable.” If a barfy customer ends up with a bad rating, they’ll be peer-pressured out of the system by drivers who just won’t choose to pick them up.

But with great power comes great responsibility. (Sorry, had to.) While Airbnb helped a lot of houseless folks in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, with many people using the service to offer their homes and rooms for free, Uber was slammed for price-gouging during a difficult time.

A number of U.S. cities have banned different peer-to-peer businesses or tried to regulate them out of existence. Officials claim they’re protecting consumers, but Wu says complaints about the companies often “have the odor of industry protectionism.”

“Banning Airbnb helps hotels more than homeowners; banning Uber helps taxi companies more than passengers,” Wu writes. Owners of established businesses often have ties to local politicians, unlike the random guy who wants to rent out his studio while he’s out of town.

Wu suggests more flexible approaches to regulation that hinge on openness and real-time data. “Regulators could simply require Uber to disclose the prices it charged and where its cars were going. If cities wanted to ban rate hikes during emergencies, they could watch to see that the law was obeyed,” he writes. “This kind of precise, data-driven regulation could protect consumers while also protecting their right to pay for a valuable service.”

It could, but governments would have to put their fears aside first. So far, it’s baby steps. Earlier this month, California regulators began an inquiry into how to regulate ride-sharing services.

“We’re cautiously optimistic that the investigation will result in rules that will support innovation and support the benefits that Sidecar represents, which are reductions in emissions and congestion and more affordable transportation options,” Sidecar cofounder Sunil Paul told the San Francisco Examiner.

California’s regulatory commission will deliver its findings in six months — by which time a whole new corner of the peer-to-peer industry will likely be delighting new consumers and frustrating established business owners.

Evolution and the Biology of Psychic Phenomenon

We actually have a testable hypothesis that can be polished and perfected to clearly prove out the reality of precognition. It is even clearly linked to standard evolutionary explanations and would have arisen if it could have arisen. It is not even difficult to set up interview protocols to discover the effect.

In fact it is a great science project for no end of teenage boys once we figure out how to measure early response.

If is also enters high schools as a standard, we have gone along way to both confirming the effect, and to pushing precognition into serious mainstream science.

Not bad, we have Bigfoot DNA and a creditable psychic experiment to run in the same month.

Evolution and the Biology of Psychic Phenomenon

Dec 27th in Natural World & Spirituality by Micah Hanks

http://mysteriousuniverse.org/2012/12/dreams-of-prophecy-evolution-and-the-biology-of-psychic-phenomenon/

In the modern world, the mystery of psychic phenomena seems to coexist alongside itself, straddling rather fractured grounds between doubt and believability. While science still remains unable to prove conclusively that certain individuals can see into the future or read the minds of others, there nonetheless seem to be instances where “proof” exists, supporting that these things can, and often do, occur. 

The “fractured” nature of supposed psychic phenomena is further complicated by the appearance of 1-800 hotlines, reality television programing, and a host of other commercial endeavors that, for good or for ill, promote the extra-sensory abilities of others for purpose of profit. While every individual should be allowed the ability to earn their living, the process of commercializing the unexplained often casts strange phenomenon like ESP in a poor light, especially amidst the scientific community.

But there are certainly those out there who seek to better understand such things as psychic phenomenon, and to do so utilizing the scientific method. In doing so, could we possibly discover that proposed “psychic abilites” may actually be the result of such things as natural selection, and even underlying biological processes occurring within the body?

I am reminded of a musician friend of mine who once told me that he, upon first meeting certain women throughout his life, had always received a particular sensation if this would eventually be someone he would later begin dating. The conversation came together as the result of a question I had asked him: do you believe in psychic phenomenon? Indeed, it was my friend’s feeling that the “sensation” he had described, rather than merely being the kinds of sparks flying between two interested individuals, had actually been something precognitive that “alerted” him as to which women he met would be an ideal partner.

If we were to suppose, for instance, that there were some underlying evolutionary reason for this kind of process to occur within the mind, we might assume that developing a precognitive ability to discern which people would become the best partners could be conducive to procreation. Again, in an evolutionary sense, this sort of “evolved” ability to precognitively pick lovers might have served our ancient ancestors in the successful furtherance of our species; it could also explain the increased incidence of psychic experiences couples seem to share, as discussed thoroughly in books like author Brad Steiger’s Otherworldly Affaires: Haunted Lovers, Phantom Spouses, and Sexual Molesters from the Shadow World. 

Similarly, while the results of the study to follow have been disputed, the research of psychologist Daryl Bem in his so-called “Feeling the Future” studies, which asserted that individuals showed an increased incident of telepathic prowess immediately prior to being shown erotic imagery. Again, we might assert that if such a trend actually exists, it could be the result of an acquired evolutionary development, designed to assist in successful procreation.

Another unique way of viewing the benefits of developing psychic abilities could have to do with the nature of thoughts and, more specifically, dreams. Often, people who claim to have experienced precognitive events did so through recollections of things experienced during the dream state. Could it be that the dreaming mind, serving as an effective “simulation” of the real world and the activities we will engage within it, might at times help us to ready ourselves for upcoming future events? Furthermore, would it be too much of a stretch to assume that the dreaming mind might occasionally do this through the use of psychic dreams?

At the blog for The Rhine Center, a very insightful post titled “Psi Events and Evolutionary Psychology” recently touched on a similar idea, while expressing the ways that biology and natural selection could be underlying the development of psychic abilities:

Your experiences are mediated by your physical parts, and those physical parts with their sensory structures got here via natural selection.  It is known that there are psychological processes that you are born with, that are built into your DNA such as the ability to use language or walking.  One such evolved trait in humans is a mental world where you create a virtual simulation of life.  This allows you to make plans, to remember events, to solve problems and practice real-world activities in a virtual setting.  The process of natural selection also takes place in this virtual world.  The mind is constantly taking in new pieces of information and testing them against problems that you can expect to encounter.  This seems to be the primary evolved function of dreaming.

Dreams are also discussed seriously within the context of psychic phenomenon and prophecy in Elliot R. Wolfson’s fantastic book A Dream Interpreted within a Dream: Oneiropoiesis and the Prism of Imagination, in which the author shares a wealth of unique observations pertaining to prophetic nature of dreams. ”What is significant about the dream,” Wolfson writes in the book’s second chapter, “is that it is a mode of seeing in the present about the future based on the past, and similarly, prophecy is a preview of what will transpire, often envisioned in parabolic images that call for interpretation.” He goes on to express, in a Faustian comparison, the way that dreams tend to mirror something deeper than the mere existant reality:

“The dream may be likened to the mirror of Faust, a mirror that mirrors not a reality external to it, but the mirror of the mind gazing upon nothing but its own proclivity to dissemble indeterminately and deficiently. The oneriic seeing is thus a vision of nocturnality gleaming forth at the heart of nocturnaily–even when the dream occurs in daylight–and beholding a darkness too incandescent to behold.”

While wordy, I try to enjoy the colorful (beautiful, in truth) use of language that Wolfson evokes here; but despite his almost artisitc expression of the dream state, his assertions peer beyond the obvious, and instead look into the darkness of the philosophical dream-state. It becomes a place where, instead of merely thoughts rumbling around in one’s head as they sleep, the very shadows of reality play against one another, in an almost imperceptible sort of depth that challenges the mind of the individual. What exists in the dream world very well may not be merely “reality” as we tend to perceive it, but instead some complex rendering of that which exists around us non-temporally; a collection of potentials that occasionally enter our mind while dreaming, and which may at time be capable of revealing things to us that the known capacities of the mind aren’t believed to be capable of.

Food for thought, sweet dreams, and all the cliché expressions come to mind here, but perhaps they are so standard for a reason; whether or not science can explain the peculiar nature of psychic phenomenon, it appears to be something innate to humanity, though more often misunderstood than recognized, even partially, for the curious role it may play in our progression as a species.

Breakthrough Russian Paper on DNA and Paranormal

This is a very important piece and goes a long way to providing a scientific paradigm for a wide range of phenomena. I have entered a fair number of comments in the text as well and it all calls for a slow read.

I am not overly comfortable with the last conjecture as a fit all explanation for the UFO phenomena, but it certainly provides us a plausible explanation for a subclass of that. I also suspect that slime molds are pretty handy for another such subclass. None of these can however be used on the more robust manifestations.

Otherwise I can support everything said here as it expands on conjectures already formed from far less evidence.

I am very pleased to see wormholes introduced into DNA work. The biological brain is quite able to secure a memory by linking with a worm hole directly to the memory itself if such a wormhole exists and as nature always is efficient, then that is just what it if it is possible.

This is a breakthrough paper on human consciousness.

Russian DNA Discoveries Explain Human 'Paranormal' Events

Edited and Translated from German Text

http://removingtheshackles.blogspot.ca/2012/12/the-other-90-russian-dna-discoveries.html

Esoteric and spiritual teachers have known for ages that our body is programmable by language, words and thought. This has now been scientifically proven and explained.

The human DNA is a biological Internet and superior in many aspects to the artificial one. The latest Russian scientific research directly or indirectly explains phenomena such as clairvoyance, intuition, spontaneous and remote acts of healing, self healing, affirmation techniques, unusual light/auras around people (namely spiritual masters), mind’s influence on weather patterns and much more.

In addition, there is evidence for a whole new type of medicine in which DNA can be influenced and reprogrammed by words and frequencies WITHOUT cutting out and replacing single genes. Only 10% of our DNA is being used for building proteins. It is this subset of DNA that is of interest to western researchers and is being examined and categorized. The other 90% are considered "junk DNA."

The Russian researchers, however, convinced that nature was not dumb, joined linguists and geneticists in a venture to explore that 90% of "junk DNA." Their results, findings and conclusions are simply revolutionary!

According to their findings, our DNA is not only responsible for the construction of our body but also serves as data storage and communication. The Russian linguists found that the genetic code - especially in the apparent "useless" 90% - follows the same rules as all our human languages.

To this end they compared the rules of syntax (the way in which words are put together to form phrases and sentences), semantics (the study of meaning in language forms) and the basic rules of grammar. They found that the alkalines of our DNA follow a regular grammar (language) and do have set rules just like our languages. Therefore, human languages did not appear coincidentally but are a reflection of our inherent DNA.

The Russian biophysicist and molecular biologist Pjotr Garjajev and his colleagues also explored the vibrational behavior of DNA. In brief the bottom line was: "Living chromosomes function just like a holographic computer using endogenous DNA laser radiation." This means that they managed, for example, to modulate certain frequency patterns (sound) onto a laser-like ray which influenced DNA frequency and thus the genetic information itself.

Since the basic structure of DNA-alkaline pairs and of language (as explained earlier) is of the same structure, no DNA decoding is necessary. One can simply use words and sentences of the human language! This, too, was experimentally proven!

Living DNA substance (in living tissue, not in vitro) will always react to language-modulated laser rays and even to radio waves, if the proper frequencies (sound) are being used. This finally and scientifically explains why affirmations, hypnosis and the like can have such strong effects on humans and their bodies. It is entirely normal and natural for our DNA to react to language.

While western researchers cut single genes from DNA strands and insert them elsewhere, the Russians enthusiastically created devices that influence cellular metabolism through modulated radio and light frequencies, thus repairing genetic defects.

They even captured information patterns of a particular DNA and transmitted it onto another, thus reprogramming cells to another genome. So they successfully transformed, for example, frog embryos to salamander embryos simply by transmitting the DNA information patterns! This way the entire information was transmitted without any of the side effects or disharmonies encountered when cutting out and re-introducing single genes from the DNA.

This represents an unbelievable, world-transforming revolution and sensation: by simply applying vibration (sound frequencies) and language instead of the archaic cutting-out procedure![ this goes way beyond my best intuition and places my conjecture regarding self - induced intelligent design front and center in the speciation problem – arclein ]

This experiment points to the immense power of wave genetics, which obviously has a greater influence on the formation of organisms than the biochemical processes of alkaline sequences.

[ this is important. The actual self assembly of living organics as a precursor to life itself is also linked to wave energy and any such modeling must account for that. The problem was impossible and now becomes doubly so. - arclein ]

Esoteric and spiritual teachers have known for ages that our body is programmable by language, words and thought. This has now been scientifically proven and explained.

Of course the frequency has to be correct. And this is why not everybody is equally successful or can do it with always the same strength. The individual person must work on the inner processes and development in order to establish a conscious communication with the DNA.

The Russian researchers work on a method that is not dependent on these factors but will ALWAYS work, provided one uses the correct frequency. But the higher developed an individual's consciousness is, the less need is there for any type of device: one can achieve these results by oneself. Science will finally stop laughing at such ideas and will confirm and explain the results. And it doesn't end there.

The Russian scientists also found out that our DNA can cause disturbing patterns in a vacuum, thus producing magnetized, interdimensional wormholes! Wormholes are by definition the microscopic equivalents of the so-called Einstein-Rosen bridges in the vicinity of black holes (left by burned-out stars).

[This is the first direct theory that supports my conjecture that the mind does not hard store data, but alternately merely revisits the appropriate time and space. - arclein]

These “wormholes” are tunnel connections between entirely different areas in the universe through which information can be transmitted outside of space and time. The DNA attracts these bits of information and passes them on to our consciousness. This process of hyper-communication (aka telepathy) is most effective in a heightened state of relaxation, produced by meditation and/or sessions of intense prayer.  The scientists were stunned to find that portions of in vitro samples of human DNA, housed nearly a mile away from the individual entering a deeply meditation state, actually disappeared into a “wormhole” only to re-appear minutes after meditation and prayer ended.

Stress, worry or a hyperactive intellect prevent successful hyper-communication or the information will be totally distorted and useless. In nature, hyper-communication has been successfully applied for millions of years. The organized flow of life in insects proves this dramatically. Modern man knows it only on a much more subtle level as "intuition." But we, too, can regain full use of it.

As an example from nature, when a queen ant is separated from her colony, the remaining worker ants will continue building fervently according to plan. However, if the queen is killed, all work in the colony stops. No ant will know what to do. Apparently, the queen transmits the "building plans" even if far away - via the group consciousness with her subjects. She can be as far away as she wants, as long as she is alive.[ try and explain this in any other way! I would like to send such a queen to the other side of the earth and attempt to establish time less communication. - arclein]

In humans, hyper-communication is most often encountered when one suddenly gains access to information that is outside one's knowledge base. Such hyper-communication is then experienced as inspiration or intuition (also in trance channeling). The Italian composer Giuseppe Tartini, for instance, dreamt one night that a devil sat at his bedside playing the violin. The next morning Tartini was able to note down the piece exactly from memory. He called it the Devil's Trill Sonata.

For years, a 42-year old male nurse dreamt of a situation in which he was hooked up to a kind of knowledge CD-ROM. Verifiable knowledge from all imaginable fields was then transmitted to him that he was able to recall in the morning. There was such a flood of information that it seemed a whole encyclopedia was transmitted at night. The majorities of facts were outside his personal knowledge base and reached technical details of which he knew absolutely nothing. When hyper-communication occurs, one can observe in the DNA, as well as in the human, supernatural phenomena.

The Russian scientists irradiated DNA samples with laser light. On screen, a typical wave pattern was formed. When they removed the DNA sample, the wave pattern did not disappear, it remained. Many controlled experiments showed that the pattern continued to come from the removed sample, whose energy field apparently remained by itself. This effect is now called phantom DNA effect. It is surmised that energy from outside of space and time still flows through the activated wormholes after the DNA was removed. The side effects encountered most often in hyper-communication in humans are inexplicable electromagnetic fields in the vicinity of the persons concerned.

Electronic devices like CD players and the like can be irritated and cease to function for hours. When the electromagnetic field slowly dissipates, the devices function normally again. Many healers and psychics know this effect from their work: the better the atmosphere and energy, the more frustrating it can be for recording devices as they stop functioning at that exact moment. Often by next morning all is back to normal.

Perhaps this is reassuring to read for many, as it has nothing to do with them being technically inept; it means they are good at hyper-communication.

In their book Vernetzte Intelligenz, Grazyna Gosar and Franz Bludorf explain these connections precisely and clearly. The authors also quote sources presuming that in earlier times humanity had been just like the animals: very strongly connected to group consciousness and thereby acted as a group. In order to develop and experience individuality, however, we humans had to forget hyper-communication almost completely.

Now that we are fairly stable in our individual consciousness, we can create a new form of group consciousness - namely one in which we attain access to all information via our DNA without being forced or remotely controlled about what to do with that information. We now know that just as we use the internet, our DNA can feed proper data into the network, can retrieve data from the network, and can establish contact with other participants in the network. Remote healing, telepathy or "remote sensing" about the state of another can thus be explained. Some animals know from afar when their owners plan to return home. This can be freshly interpreted and explained via the concepts of group consciousness and hyper-communication.

Any collective consciousness cannot be sensibly used over any period of time without a distinctive individuality; otherwise we would revert to a primitive herd instinct that is easily manipulated. Hyper-communication in the new millennium means something quite different.

Researchers think that if humans with full individuality would regain group consciousness, they would have a god-like power to create, alter and shape things on Earth! AND humanity is collectively moving toward such a group consciousness of the new kind.

Fifty percent of children will become a problem as soon as they go to school, since the system lumps everyone together and demands adjustment. But the individuality of today's children is so strong that they refuse this adjustment and resist giving up their idiosyncrasies in the most diverse ways.

At the same time more and more clairvoyant children are born. Something in those children is striving more towards the group consciousness of the new kind, and it can no longer be suppressed.

As a rule, weather for example is rather difficult to influence by a single individual. But it may be influenced by group consciousness (nothing new about this to some indigenous tribes). Weather is strongly influenced by Earth resonance frequencies (Schumann frequencies). But those same frequencies are also produced in our brains, and when many people synchronize their thinking or when individuals (spiritual masters, for instance) focus their thoughts in a laser-like fashion, then it is not at all surprising that they can influence the weather.

A modern day civilization which develops group consciousness would have neither environmental problems nor scarcity of energy: for if it were to use such mental powers as a unified civilization, it would have control of the energies of its home planet as a natural consequence.

When a great number of people become unified with higher intention as in meditating on peace - potentials of violence also dissolve.

Apparently, DNA is also an organic superconductor that can work at normal body temperature, as opposed to artificial superconductors which require extremely low temperatures between 200 and 140°C to function. In addition, all superconductors are able to store light and thus information. This further explains how DNA can store information.

There is another phenomenon linked to DNA and wormholes. Normally, these super-small wormholes are highly unstable and are maintained only for the tiniest fractions of a second. Under certain conditions stable wormholes can organize themselves, which then form distinctive vacuum domains in which for example, gravity can transform into electricity. Vacuum domains are self-radiant balls of ionized gas that contain considerable amounts of energy. There are regions in Russia where such radiant balls appear very often.

Following the ensuing confusion the Russians started massive research programs leading finally to some of the discoveries mentions above. Many people know vacuum domains as shiny balls in the sky. The attentive look at them in wonder and ask themselves, what they could be.

I thought once: "Hello up there. If you happen to be a UFO, fly in a triangle." And suddenly, the light balls moved in a triangle. Or they shot across the sky like ice hockey pucks: they accelerated from zero to crazy speeds while sliding silently across the sky. One is left gawking and I have, as many others, too, thought them to be UFOs. Friendly ones, apparently, as they flew in triangles just to please me.

Now, the Russians found - in the regions where vacuum domains often appear - that sometimes fly as balls of light from the ground upwards into the sky, and that these balls can be guided by thought. Since then it has been found that vacuum domains emit waves of low frequency that are also produced in our brains and because of this similarity of waves they are able to react to our thoughts. To run excitedly into one that is on ground level might not be such a great idea, because those balls of light can contain immense energies and are capable of mutating our genes.

Many spiritual teachers also produce such visible balls or columns of light in deep meditation or during energy work, which trigger decidedly pleasant feelings and do not cause any harm. Apparently this is also dependent on some inner order, quality and origin of the vacuum domain. There are some spiritual teachers, like the young Englishman Ananda, for example, with whom nothing is seen at first, but when one tries to take a photograph while they sit and speak or meditate in hyper-communication, one gets only a picture of a white cloud on a chair.

In certain Earth healing projects, such light effects also appear on photographs. Simply put, this phenomena has to do with gravity and anti-gravity forces that are ever more stable forms of wormholes and displays of hyper-communication with energies from outside our time and space structure. Earlier generations that experienced such hyper-communication and visible vacuum domains were convinced that an angel had appeared before them: and we cannot be too sure to what forms of consciousness we can get access when using hyper-communication.

Not having scientific proof for their actual existence, people having had such experiences do NOT all suffer from hallucinations. We have simply made another giant step towards understanding our reality. Official science also knows of gravity anomalies on Earth that contribute to the formation of vacuum domains. Recently gravity anomalies have been found in Rocca di Papa, south of Rome.

Airship Test Flight Planned

It presently weighs eighteen tons and will carry sixty tons. It is certainly a good start. What it really becomes is a learning platform for the integration of modern materials into effective airship design. While we are at it, it would also be a good idea to discover if we can also operate safely with hydrogen again.

If hydrogen could be held in chemically neutral bladders and designed to fail upward for safe release we may have something. On the very large craft, it may be practical to place helium filled bladders around the perimeter while all the interior bladders hold hydrogen. This supplies a safe crush zone in the event of a crash. Any fire will burn upward away from the craft also.

I suspect that it will be completely feasible to build craft out to two thousand tons of fully loaded dead weight with a fifteen hundred tons or more as cargo. In that case, helium supply quickly becomes a limiting factor and the hydrogen solution kicks in.

The large craft themselves will be used to haul cargo point to point and will have small crews that may even have an evacuation ultralight aircraft as well as parachutes. As a comparable to this vessel, we are ultimately going to a thousand foot length which looks pretty well possible.

What will be interesting is the operational speed that can be achieved with this new craft design and just how scalable that skin happens to be.

These guys are not the only players out there and the moment we have a deliverable and a fifty ship purchase contract from a cargo hauler, this industry will be off and running. This is the one technology able to put long haul trucking completely out of business and able to challenge seaborne container shipping simply on time value. Imagine the impact on the fruit and vegetable trade. The longest possible haul will be seven days and the real volume will be traveling vibration free less than two days.

In time we will have thousands of these craft up there.

Construction is complete on behemoth airship; first flight planned

By W.J. Hennigan

A massive cargo-carrying airship has taken shape inside one of the 17-story wooden blimp hangars at the former military base in Tustin.

According to aircraft maker Worldwide Aeros Corp., construction is complete on a 36,000-pound blimp-like aircraft designed for the military to carry tons of cargo to remote areas around the world.

The Montebello company hopes to have a first flight in the coming months and to demonstrate cargo-carrying capability shortly thereafter.

"This is truly the beginning of a vertical global transportation solution for perhaps the next 100 years,” Chief Executive Igor Pasternak said in a statement.

Worldwide Aeros, a company of about 100 employees, built the prototype under a contract of about $35 million from the Pentagon and NASA.

The Aeroscraft is a zeppelin with a 230-foot rigid skeleton made of aluminum and carbon fiber. It's a new type of hybrid aircraft that combines airplane and airship technologies and doesn't need a long runway to take off or land because it has piston engines that allow it to move vertically and a new high-tech buoyancy control system.

Ultimately, the company wants to be able to carry up to 66 tons.

"This will land in Africa, Afghanistan," Pasternak told The Times in September, "a Wal-Mart parking lot – wherever."

France's Financial Transaction Tax Experiment

They cannot even get this right. There is merit in taxing financial activity, or more accurately, there is merit in taxing fees paid to facilitate a transaction including interest. We call it VAT.

Such cost is negligible over the amortized life of the capital and is naturally low. It is simple. You pay ten dollars in interest, you tag on fifty cents to a dollar in tax and this can be offset by tax paid on interest paid. In this way most tax is paid at retail as has to happen to avoid a loading that distorts the financial sector.

Taxation is already onto the usual dodges in this circumstance so collection will not be an issue as it sorts itself out.

Remember that credit must be extended in order to earn interest. Adding a cost to that is hardly a brake on business. If a million less folks qualify for a mortgage, then the price of housing is coming down until they do.

As usual, they instead tried to tax the brokers who are past masters at doing work arounds.

France's Financial Transaction Tax Experiment Is Turning Into The Worst Kind Of Failure

Matthew Boesler | Jan. 2, 2013, 4:20 PM

One suggestion that has gained popularity in the post-crisis regulatory debate is a tax on financial transactions.

Proponents suggest that the tax would raise revenues for governments (at a time when such revenues are badly needed) and curb the excessive speculation that contributed to the global financial crisis.

In August 2012, France became the first eurozone nation in the wake of the financial crisis to implement such a tax, and so far, it's been a total failure.

In an article for Risk.net, Hannah Collins explains that in France, the tax – which amounts to 0.2 percent on transactions involving buying or selling of shares of stock – is actually just shifting investors out of equities and into even riskier, more opaque products like derivatives and derivatives-based ETFs:

Investors who own French shares are selling them and taking positions on them through derivatives instruments such as contracts for difference, structured products and ETFs, according to a Paris-based lawyer. "Most structured transactions remain outside the tax," he says. "It is due only if you have actually purchased the shares."

In other words, instead of curbing excessive speculation, the tax is simply forcing those speculative activities into darker, less-regulated corners of the market.

Logically, the tax could accelerate the rise of synthetic ETFs due to this favorable tax treatment, as Collins explains:

The FTT will give a clear tax advantage to ETFs based on swaps, says Isabelle Bourcier, director of business development at ETF provider Ossiam in Paris. "With a purely physical ETF, every time the manager buys the French stocks directly, the fund has to pay the FTT," she says. "Because the banking swap counterparty is not charged the tax if they buy the stocks for hedging, a fund that receives the performance of the basket of stocks [for which the FTT is due] through the swap would be unaffected by the FTT."

The European Commission is contemplating instituting a financial transaction tax at an EU-wide level to address speculation and raise revenues. Unlike the French version of the tax, the EC proposal involves a tax on derivatives transactions in addition to that on regular equities transactions.

The proposed tax on derivatives transactions, at 0.01 percent, is a mere fraction of those on stocks and bonds (0.1 percent), though. It remains to be seen whether the EC version of the tax will encourage the same investor behavior as the one in France is now.

Was There a Church in Mecca?

Quite likely of course. Christianity became the Roman state religion and expansion was inevitable on the edges of the empire. Natural support would be available. That it was then suppressed is also a certainty after Mohammed.

In the long term the Roman agenda of using Christianity (unwitting or otherwise) to pacify the barbarian marches succeeded brilliantly. It was not in time to resolve the short term pressures it faced or Arab barbarians turning the idea to barbarian account.

If you were an alien from outer space though, or with a Chinese sense of perspective, one can be forgiven for mistaking result for long term intent. Particularly since claims of Christian decline looks like a smoke screen obscuring its rapid adoption globally.

The real fear of Islam today is simply that political freedom of worship and the emancipation of women in Islam will actually doom Islam simply because Christianity at its best supports such freedom and rights. And Christianity will always be there with an active mission.

Perhaps it is time to start an association to locate and restore such a church in Mecca.  If that idea appeals to you, formally join this blog (block with all the thumbnails) and leave a note when you do so I know you have an interest.  If enough go for it i will then post to organize it.

Was there a church in Mecca? Chiselled stonework with 'Christian figure' discovered at holy site in Yemen

Stone carving found in Zafar, some 581 miles to the south of Mecca

Thought to have been made in the era of the Prophet Muhammad, in 530AD

Archaeologist Paul Yule concluded that Zafar was centre of a 772,000 sq mile Arab territory that exerted influence all the way to Mecca

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

PUBLISHED: 19:44 GMT, 29 December 2012

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2254657/Was-church-Mecca-Chiselled-stonework-Christian-figure-discovered-holy-site-Yemen.html

An Archaeologist has discovered what he believes to be the ruins of a buried Christian empire in the highlands of Yemen.

The find has led to theories that there may have once been a Christian church in Mecca.

A stone carving of a Christian figure was found in Zafar, some 581 miles south of the Holy City, and is thought to have been made in the era of the Prophet Muhammad.

Paul Yule, an archaeologist from Heidelberg in Germany, has dated the 5ft 7in relief - which shows a man with chains of jewellery, curls and spherical eyes - to around 530AD.

After excavating sites in Yemen, the German archaeologist concluded that Zafar was the centre of an Arab tribal confederation, an area that covered 772,000 sq miles and exerted its influence all the way to Mecca.

The figure is barefoot, a pose typical of Coptic saints. He is holding a bundle of twigs, a symbol of peace, in his left hand, and there is a crossbar on his staff, making it look like a cross.

The crown on his head is similar to the ones worn by the Christian rulers of ancient Ethiopia, reported ABC News.

All this led Mr Yule to believe the statue depicted the descendant of conquerors from Africa who came to the region in 525AD to spread Christianity.

Led by the King of Aksum, these warriors travelled across the Red Sea to capture large parts of Arabia.

According to Mr Yule, the confederation became a superpower between the 3rd and 5th centuries.

It controlled the port of Aden, where precious commodities including Indian spices were traded.

Mr Yule found wine amphorae, the remains of precious fish condiments and palaces decorated with sphinxes and lions - suggesting it was a place with a taste for luxury.

Zafar had a large Jewish community as well as Christian and Arab residents.

But the peaceful, multicultural community that lived there descended into conflict as tensions mounted in the 5th century.

To stop the advance of Christianity, Arab kings converted to Judaism and the ruling class of the realm followed suit.

Then in around 520AD, they attacked the Christian colony of Najran.

The relief of the man from Zafar is thought to have been created during this period of unrest.

There is also historical evidence, in the form of a rock inscription, that raids were conducted against defiant Arab tribes near Mecca in 552AD – thought by a few western historians to be the year of Muhammad’s birth.

The rock inscriptions could be interpreted to mean that the tribe of Kuraish, to which the Prophet belonged, sometimes fought for the Christians.

Mr Yule claimed there are indications this could be true, but added that many aspects of the find remain unclear.

Hyperinflation Fears

 No, there will be no hyperinflation simply because we have been deflating a credit bubble by printing the necessary money to covered the accumulated losses built up to 2008 that became real losses then.

Hyperinflation occurs when the demand for money is flooded way past the absorption rate of the economy. To happen it is necessary to distribute this hot coin widely. Try doubling pension payouts for example. Big ticket items simply will not do it because the real market is too small. All other ways are quickly sponged up in the financial products system to be doled out prudently at a later date.

No such conditions are ever likely to occur.

Our real problem is credit restoration for millions of people. This will restore demand for housing and restore broad employment for those same millions ruined by reckless lending. As I have posted before, we are doing it all the long way around. It could have been over and done with but it has only begun to properly heal now with the banking system reentering the mortgage market. Quite naturally they waited until all the bad news had landed before they stepped back in.

Americans Still Waiting for Predicted Hyperinflation

Thursday, 03 January 2013 10:34By Paul Krugman

http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/13682-americans-still-waiting-for-predicted-hyperinflation

Some readers may recall the Peter-Schiff-was-right campaign of 2009, a sort of public-relations blitz claiming that Mr. Schiff, an Austrian-oriented commentator, had foreseen the financial crisis. It wasn’t really true even then; still, Mr. Schiff became a fixture of right-wing television shows, constantly warning that expansionary monetary and fiscal policies were about to produce hyperinflation.

Well, Cullen Roche, who writes the Pragmatic Capitalism blog, recently caught a TV host actually putting Mr. Schiff on the spot, pointing out that he’s been predicting that hyperinflation since 2008. So where is it?

Good question.

And I’d like to pursue the question a bit more, not just or even mainly about Mr. Schiff’s assertions, but more broadly about the role of predictions — including wrong predictions — in economics.

What’s crucial to understand, I think, is that there are two kinds of erroneous predictions. One kind of error, which everyone makes all the time, involves what you might call extraneous forces.

If the economist making the prediction didn’t know that there was going to be a war in the Middle East, or a confrontation over the debt ceiling, or whatever, his forecast may well be very badly wrong; too bad, but that doesn’t really speak to his underlying model. And by the way, this exoneration applies even if he should have known what was coming; all this says is that he may not be the right person to listen to for short-run forecasts, which doesn’t necessarily say that he’s wrong about the bigger issues.

Here’s an example of a ludicrously wrong forecast that didn’t touch the fundamentals: In 1929 the great American economist Irving Fisher famously declared that stocks had reached a permanently high plateau; worse yet, he attributed this rosy future to the productivity gains resulting from Prohibition. He ended up looking like a fool because, well, in some ways he was.

Yet none of this had anything to do with his fundamental economic analysis; Mr. Fisher’s theory of the interest rate and his theory of debt deflation are essential tools for anyone trying to do serious macroeconomics.

Now, the thing about Mr. Schiff and all the other Austrians predicting runaway inflation is that they were right to make this prediction, given their model. If you believe that a recession is caused by a failure on the production side of the economy, the result of past malinvestment or something, you will likely also believe that any attempt to correct this decline by expanding credit will simply result in too much money chasing too few goods, and hence a lot of inflation.

By the same token, the failure of high inflation to materialize amounts to a decisive rebuttal of that model. (And no, it’s not because the numbers are fudged; independent estimates don’t differ significantly from official inflation figures.)

More generally, the past five years have seen some really dramatic policy actions — huge expansion of the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet, and in some countries very large deficits or drastic austerity measures. These kinds of actions are, in effect, natural experiments that give economists a lot of information about the validity of different economic models — and the models that have worked are demand-side, more or less Keynesian approaches, while everything else has been wildly wrong. So here’s what should have happened: economists propounding these other approaches should have said, “Gosh, I seem to have been wrong. I need to rethink my approach.”

Oh, and by the way, I have done that. As I’ve written before, I rethought my views about liquidity traps and currency crises after the Asian crisis of the late 1990s; I rethought my views about advanced country debt and deficits after making a wrong prediction in 2003 (although in that case my mistake was in not taking my own model seriously enough). But as far as I can tell, very, very few people have been willing to let the evidence speak.

Sports Domes and Emergency Planning

For once we have a good sense solution. The domes are there and most can stand up to the winds. Making them the focus of disaster preparedness is obvious and can be readily accommodated even in the ones already built. A little attention during design could readily expand this usage.

In time we will have a network that is both utilitarian and visible.

This model can be applied to other forms of disaster also simply because the domes are always well engineered to survive when nothing else may be. Even a flood is going to do little to concrete.

At least emergency stores such as cots and the like can be prepositioned.

It’s a sports dome and a hurricane shelter all in one

By Lisa Hymas

http://grist.org/news/its-a-sports-dome-and-a-hurricane-shelter-all-in-one/

There’s a lot of talk these days about the need to become more resilientand ruggedize our systems in order to better cope in a climate-changed world. It’s nice to actually see a little action on this front — in Texas, of all places.

Jay PhaganTexas’ first “hurricane dome” in Woodsboro will do double duty as a gym and a shelter. We expect it’ll look more appealing once the gale-force winds start blowing.

From the Associated Press:

Most of the time, the windowless building with the dome-shaped roof will be a typical high school gymnasium filled with cheering fans watching basketball and volleyball games.

But come hurricane season, the structure that resembles a miniature version of the famed Astrodome will double as a hurricane shelter, part of an ambitious storm-defense system that is taking shape along hundreds of miles of the Texas Gulf Coast.

Its brawny design — including double-layer cinder-block walls reinforced by heavy duty steel bars and cement piers that plunge 30 feet into the ground — should allow it to withstand winds up to 200 mph. …

[A dome now under construction in Edna, Texas,] is one of 28 such buildings planned to protect sick, elderly and special-needs residents who might be unable to evacuate ahead of a hurricane. First-responders and local leaders will also be able to take refuge in the domes, allowing them to begin recovery efforts faster after a storm has passed. … [The domes] are being erected with help from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Just how rugged are these things? “The builders boast Mother Nature and the big bad wolf could huff and puff together, and it wouldn’t be enough to destroy the dome,” reports Fox 26 in Houston. We assume that’s the Texan way to talk about climate change.
