He passed me the disc, about the size of a small dinner plate and quite heavy. My hands were full of things needing to go through to the kitchen. There was only one thing for it, I placed the disc on my head and walked through that way, thinking how the lessons learned when we are younger than we are today still have value and inordinately pleased with myself that I could still do it without effort..
My mother used to tell me about good posture when I was small and it was fun trying to walk around with piles of books balanced on my head. We had to do the same at dance class. We had it in school and in the gym too back then. For my mother, it was about deportment; the way a lady carries the body. For my teachers, the idea was that by developing balance we would be able better able to perform the movements that were required of us with grace and poise. Nowadays, it is simply about good posture and, hunched over a keyboard far too much of the time, I am grateful for those early lessons and still prefer a straight back.
Good posture stays with you. It is not something that you lose like the beauty of dewy skin or the lustre of youthful hair. Something of it remains. Even my great grandmother, her spine bent under the weight of almost ten decades, still held herself well. Those we deem elegant seem to have something in their carriage that stays noticeable for the rest of their lives too, even when the years have erased all outward sign of youth.
When I was fifteen, my grandfather gave me a copy of Dion Fortune's Moon Magic. There is much to be learned from the psychological journey of the two protagonists and it is still one of my favourite and best-thumbed books. Being young and on the verge of womanhood, however, one small phrase took my eye that had nothing to do with the story itself. "… the body should swing and balance from the waist and that is worth more in beauty than a slender line." I think this is true and it gives an impression of balance and grace.
We learn very early in our lives the mechanics of sitting, standing and walking and, once learned, we seldom give them another thought until we begin to suffer the consequences of what we failed to learn to do well. Then we get back-ache and have to learn anew, starting with the core muscles, as often as not. Yet the body is designed to both respond to and create those minute shifts and adjustments that are required in order to maintain perfect equilibrium. Until it knows a poised centre of balance, it cannot create it.
Our inner balance is very similar… we learn as children our techniques of how to deal with the world and though they may be perfectly serviceable for years to come, evolving as we grow, they may also come back to haunt us as emotional aches and pains. The accumulated effects of the years gradually throw the balance even further out and it may take going back to the beginning to put things right, through therapy or through the self examination we do when we seek to understand why. It is only in doing so that we begin to see the repetitive scenarios and reactions that have been there all along, but which themselves are no more than a symptom of something we learned awry early in life. Once we find the starting point, we can begin too to straighten things out.
The spiritual life is little different. Spirituality does not necessarily mean religion, although religious faith should mean spirituality. The spiritual life is that very personal relationship we may each seek with whatever greater reality we come to know. We have all met those people who seem to radiate joy, no matter how hard their lives may be, no matter their age… they have a glowing beauty for which there seems no reason and they find a beauty in life that may seem to pass us by. We may ask ourselves why here too. We absorb what we are taught as children and it serves us as children. As we grow, so do our thoughts and beliefs change and grow with us. There usually comes a point where we may feel spiritually off balance and start to examine those deep-seated beliefs, tracing them to back to their beginnings. We may find that the spiritual 'muscles' were never fully flexed, that we simply accepted what we were given because it worked for us then, but now the core needs some work and the source does not seem to show us the Source we feel may be there.
Where can we look to find the answers to those questions we begin to ask, to find that poise and grace that comes from spiritual equilibrium? We need only look within. The questions we ask are unique to every one of us, the answers we seek are part of us all. It matters little if we give what we find there a Name and a Story… it is the essence of what lies at the heart of us that straightens the spiritual spine and brings back the balance.
Thank you for reblogging, Sherry!
Thank you, Jamie. I'm honoured. I'll send the link over immediately… and yes, I could probably think of a few things to say on that subject too.
Growing up, I thought deportment was old-fashioned and outdated, based on old rules that had no basis. In my forties and beyond, I soon realized it was VERY important! Yoga has brought back my strength and balance and I use an ergonomic chair as well. Thankfully, the body bounces back from abuse once you give it what it needs!


Ideal to have in your child's bedroom. The Series 7 Children's Chair by Arne Jacobsen is the kid's version of the Series 7 Chair which is available in beech or walnut veneer or a wide selection of colored ash. You can get these chairs in a number of colors such as ash red, black, dark grey, light grey, orange, petrol blue, sage green, white and yellow. The chair has been manufactured under the license in Denmark by Fritz Hansen. What's truly admirable here is the design which will surely keep your toddlers busy.

Asteroid Apophis Feared In 2004 To Hit The Earth Is Still A Hundred Years Away
Abdullah Nasir April 11, 2021 0
An asteroid was discovered back in 2004 that had a course showing that it could hit Earth. The scientists back then estimated that it could impact Earth around 2068. Their calculations showed that it had a possibility of colliding with us. The asteroid was named after the Egyptian deity Apophis, which personifies evil and chaos.
NASA has now pushed back the collision date to as far as 100 years. Phew, at least I'll be gone by then. They did say that it will slide past the Earth in 2029 but will be a close call or near miss. The asteroid is about 340m across and the impact is estimated to be 28,000 times that of the nuclear bomb dropped on Hiroshima.
Davide Farnochia of NASA's center for near-Earth object studies said in the statement that "A 2068 impact is not in the realm of possibility anymore, and our calculations don't show any impact risk for at least the next 100 years". He added that "With the support of recent optical observations and additional radar observations, the uncertainty in Apophis' orbit has collapsed from hundreds of kilometers to just a handful of kilometers when projected to 2029."
The Apophis has been removed from the risk list. They say that is it expected to pass at about 21,000km from the planet's surface but will come between the Earth and the moon. In 2029, the asteroid will be visible to the naked eye. Your Name vibes.
People in the Southern Hemisphere will see it moving from east to west over Australia and then it will move across the Indian Ocean and cross the Equator over Africa. The asteroid will be getting brighter and faster as it passes.

An unforgettable night
Winners, guests, presenters and sportsmen alike came together to agree that the LFP Awards Ceremony was a great success.
MAR 03.12.2013
After a night full of excitement, in which Spanish football was the main protagonist, comes the time for reflection. Footballers, guests, and all of the protagonists at the LFP Awards Ceremony agreed that the event was a resounding success.
One of those who had a privileged view at the Prince Phillip Congress Centre at the Hotel Auditorium de Madrid was Berta Collado. The ceremony's presenter, who was an excellent master of ceremonies, was very satisfied with how things went. "Everyone has responded well, there was a lot of talk about it and that's is a sign that things went well", she said on the LFP official website.
The main stars of the night were the Liga BBVA and Adelante players themselves. Asier Illarramendi, who had to come onstage twice, was one of the happiest people at the event. "I had a great time, I got two prizes that I wasn't expecting and I've been able to share the occasion with my family", said the Real Madrid CF player. RC Celta de Vigo's goal-getter Charles picked up the award for Best Striker in Liga Adelante during the 2012/13 season thanks to his performances with UD Almería. The Brazilian, trophy in hand, explained how it felt. "It's an important award because it acknowledges the effort the whole side put in last season. Hopefully this event can happen every year because it's good for football".
Footballers weren't the only protagonists of the night. The best Spanish sports men and women were also present at the ceremony. Mireia Belmonte, World and European champion and double Olympic silver medallist presented the prize to Liga BBVA's best defender. "I was nervous presenting the award, but it was great", said the swimmer. The Spanish female water polo squad, silver medallists at London 2012, were also on hand to present the prize for Breakthrough Player. The ladies said that they were "excited" to be able to perform such an act in front of a large crowd, and lauded the LFP's big party: "it has been a genuine success".

Trade blocs are also known as Trade blocks or Economic Integration scheme or Regional Integration Agreement or Regional Integration Arrangement (RIA) or Regional Trade Agreement (RTA). This concept is designed to achieve various economic, social, and political purposes.
The origin of Trade Blocs is in an economic integration scheme and considered as a building block of economic development of the member countries.
International business is significantly impacted by scheme of economic integration of different nations.
There has been a rapid increase in trade blocs or RTAs since 1990's.
A trade bloc can be defined as a 'preferential trade agreement' (PTA) between a subset of countries, designed to significantly reduce or remove trade barriers within member countries.
More than half of world trade occurs within actual or prospective trading blocs. More than 30% of world trade already takes place within the existing RIA's.
To increase security for smaller countries by forming trade blocs with larger countries.
To ensure growth and survival of infant industries by protecting regional market.

The (used) Water Maze WP-914 Wash Pad is a rugged, self-contained, compact portable wash pad. Its all-steel, modular design with forklift guides and detachable components allow the Water Maze WP-914 Wash Pad to be installed or moved easily for convenience in placing the wash pad where you need it most. Two heavy-duty ramps with non-skid traction ridges are hinged so they can be folded up vertically and out of the way of traffic. Five removable 42-inch panels are low enough to wash over the rop from outside the pad.
When in use, water is channeled along the sloped 3/16-inch diamond-plate floor to a centralized trench drain with removable grating. The tapered trough of the trench drain guides the water to a covered sump trough located on the outside of the pad.

Q: Nothing is being displayed in textfield In my applet, when the first three letters of the country are entered into the textfield t and when the button is pressed it should display the full country name in textfield r, but I am not getting any output in textfield r. Why is nothing being displayed?
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.Button;
import java.awt.Label;
import java.awt.TextField;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;

public class Copycat extends Applet implements ActionListener {

                    }
        }
    }
    }
}

A: It is Case Sensitive
You probably should specify minimum column lengths and make r non-editable.
t=new TextField(3);
r=new TextField(10);
r.setEditable(false);

If you don't want it to be Case Sensitive, you could use
x=t.getText().toUpperCase();
for(int i=0;i<=country.length;i++){
    if((country[i].substring(0,3).toUpperCase().equals(x)))

My answer is written with the assumption that anything not already imported is not to be used.
That said, you may want to consider using a JFrame or a JPanel. You also should consider using Swing(which you would need to use if you use a JFrame or JPanel).

The underlying issue is electricity must be used the instant is created. Since generation of electricity from wind only happens when the wind is blowing within certain parameters (not too slow and not too fast) and solar farms only generate power when the sun is up and the sky is clear and the snow has melted off the panels, wind and solar power is unreliable.
The concept of stored water is taking otherwise unusable electricity, storing it, then using it when consumers need it.
Let's look at this project and then consider the staggering cost.
Each of the reservoirs will be approximately 4,000 feet long and 1,000 feet wide. Depths will run between 50 and 75 feet. Each reservoir is designed to hold approximately 4,000 acre-feet of water.
There will be a 1,025 foot difference in elevation between the two reservoirs.
Pipes moving water between the two reservoirs will have four generators to produce electricity.
Theoretical capacity of the generators is 400 MW.
Expected annual output is 1,300 GWh. That would be 1,300,000 MWh.
According to an Associated Press article on 12/22, License issued for $1B Montana power storage Project, the construction costs are estimated at $986M and the annual operating costs are estimated at $173M. The energy produced is estimated to be worth $220M each year.
Keep in mind this entire project is in essence a massively huge battery which stores electricity between the time it is generated until it is needed. Every watt of power from the site will have initially been generated elsewhere.
That means the entire project adds costs to consumers. The electricity will have to be generated by wind farms plants or solar farms plants thus incurring the costs from those sources. Cost of this project will be added on to that electricity and then sold to utilities. That means the costs for this project will be added on to whatever else the retail consumers were otherwise going to pay.
That makes it relatively expensive in terms of construction compared to other sources.
Assuming I got the concept right, that means this massively huge battery for storing electricity will add 13.5 cents cost to consumers. Just as a really rough comparison that is somewhere in the range of what electricity would otherwise cost consumers.
Please check my math. Feel free to let me know if I slipped a digit or something.
For comparison, let's look at costs here in Southern California. My August electricity bill showed generation charges of 6.92 cents per kilowatt-hour, which is the cost from providers, which in turn is passed straight through to consumers.
My average cost for August was 21.6 cents per kilowatt-hour.
So this storage facility would add costs of 13.5 cents compared to the 6.9 cents of generation costs or 21.6 cents average cost.
Unless I made a serious math mistake (which is possible) or a serious conceptual error (which is a significant possibility), looks to me like this project will significantly increase costs to consumers.
The above analysis doesn't count the cost of filling the reservoirs with 4,000 or 5,000 acre feet of water. Also doesn't count the cost of annual evaporation.
Storage analysis above doesn't count the loss in power of transmitting the electricity to the site, or the loss from pumping the water uphill, or the loss in converting falling water into electricity, or the friction loss of transmitting the power back across the grid a second time.
Oh, since the northern plains are still digging out from a nasty blizzard on Christmas day and still in freezing temperatures, how does a water storage project work when temperatures are below freezing, say in the sub-zero range?
My little brain knows that lakes freeze so hard in North Dakota that you can drive a truck across them. They are frozen hard for several months at a time. How do you transfer water between reservoirs in sub-zero temps when the top several inches of each reservoir are frozen solid?
As happens so often, hat tip for finding the above story goes to The Million Dollar Way in an article on 12/22: Interesting $1 Billion Science Project Okayed For Martinsville, Montana.
Blizzard warning for southwestern North Dakota. Wind farms will be off-line during the blizzard. It's fortunate that we have solar farms backing up wind farms. LOL.
Lots of wind farms plants in that corner of the state. Keep in mind that if the winds are too strong, turbines must be taken off-line to avoid damage. Thus, there will be no electricity generated during this very windy time.
There is a high probability that the expected 8 or 12 inches of accumulation might, perhaps, possibly have an adverse affect on output from solar farms plants. Degradation of output from solar farms plants might possibly continue until some distant warming trend (on Tuesday and Wednesday temperature were forecast to climb to only 27 and there were one sunny and two mostly sunny days forecast in the following two weeks). Might take a while for all that snow accumulating on top of solar panels across the upper Mid-west to melt off.
Update: Post got a comment at Million Dollar Way: TGIF -Last Friday of 2016. Thanks for the mention!

Since the tragic Gulf of Mexico oil spill just over three years ago, life has been extremely difficult for BP (LSE: BP) (NYSE: BP.US).
Not only has it been forced to sell vast swathes of assets, it has also seen its share price experience severe volatility as the investment world has swung back and forth; from writing the company off to being optimistic about its long-term prospects.
However, I believe that BP can return to its former glory days and that, in time, Fools like me will look back and view today's BP as a star investment.
Of course, the road to recovery will not be smooth. However, BP is making progress via increased efficiencies, cost savings and through being more ruthless with how it reinvests in the business.
Combined, this means that BP is becoming a better quality (although smaller) company that, in my view, is better placed to take advantage of the greater number of niche opportunities that, thus far, have only been exposed by smaller exploration companies such as Tullow Oil.
So, while BP may be smaller, I think that it is more niche and more able to compete with lighter-footed (and highly profitable) rivals than it once was.
However, this is not the only reason why I'm bullish on BP.
Indeed, the share price chart shows that BP is currently at the lower end of its 2013 trading range, where shares have fluctuated between 432p and 483p. Therefore, I feel that there is scope for upside in the share price should BP continue to trade within that range.
Furthermore, shares in BP continue to offer good value. They currently trade on a price-to-book ratio of just 1.1, meaning that shareholders are paying only a small amount of goodwill when buying shares in the company.
Of course, the price to book ratio may increase should BP sell off more assets, although the scale of its disposals is unlikely to mean that shares become overly expensive using this metric.
So, I'm optimistic that BP can return to its pre-oil spill profitability, with it becoming a different kind of company that focuses on higher margin, more nimble and lucrative projects in future. In addition, the 2013 share price chart indicates that shares are currently towards the lower end of their trading range, with a low price-to-book ratio backing up the view that BP is currently cheap.
However, another stock that offers huge potential is also of real interest to me. Indeed, if you seek companies that pay decent dividends then I'm confident it will be of interest to you too since here at The Motley Fool we consider it to be The Top Income Share Of 2013.

Claims of rapes, robberies of South Auckland homeless forced into central city
1:23 pm on 11 July 2019

Claims of rapes and robberies of homeless people who were moved out of South Auckland has advocacy groups desperate to have them return from the central city.

The group United We Stand Waka of Caring said the majority of the homeless in Manurewa and Manukau had been moved on by authorities in the past few months.
Debbie Munroe had been helping the group for the last seven years and said while there were normally up to 50 homeless people there, they had been pushed out of the area.
"A lot had moved on to Manukau because they were sick and tired of getting trespassed and it just continued and continued," she said.
"One day they just all left because they were over being trespassed, it was just crazy."
Ms Munroe said the homeless went to Hayman Park in Manukau, then to Puhinui Park, then back to Manukau at the Burger King restaurant there.
They were moved on wherever they went, she said, and with no other option they went into the central city.
It soon became clear they were not welcome there either.
"One of the guys made a comment about one of the girls being raped, he had been raped, two of the boys had been beaten up and their stuff had been stolen. [They said] this was a continuous thing in town and they wanted to come home," she said.

Stephanie Pollard has been volunteering for three years with the group Feed the Homeless Auckland who work in the central city, providing food and clothing to those in need.
She noticed the arrival of the Manurewa and Manukau homeless at the start of last month.
"As you can imagine, the influx of any number of new homeless people puts tension on the streets so they were keeping out of the way, they were keeping their heads down," she said.
"They weren't coming forward to get food and clothing or they were sending one or two people down and then they were telling us there were more of them around."
Ms Pollard said it was heartbreaking to talk to them.
"They're sad, they're lost, some of them are quite afraid and a lot of them are just quite broken," she said.
"One gentleman said to me 'I want to go home, I know my home doesn't have a roof but I want to go home, I want to go back to South Auckland - that is my home, that is my community'."
Debbie Munroe is calling for a drop in centre in Manurewa, not just for homeless but for anyone who needs a hot meal or just someone to talk to.
She said there were people in the community willing to jump in and help - they just needed funding to pay for a building lease and the power.
"Got another person who wants to do some numeracy and literacy and teach them how to survive once they do get into a house," she said.
"We think that's some of the problem - they're getting thrown into houses and they're failing because they don't know how to cook, they don't know how to pay bills, they've lost the basic instinct of how to survive."
Ms Munroe said the homeless were moved out by the police after complaints from the Manurewa Local board and businesses in the area.
Police said they asked rough sleepers to move on only when there was public disorder or complaints about anti-social behaviour - usually at the request of businesses.
They said officers worked to ensure they were referred to get the help they needed.
Manurewa Local Board chair Angela Dalton said the board had not complained about the homeless and quite the opposite, welcomed them.
She said a lot of them left the area when a bus shelter at Manukau City opened up during winter last year.
There were Housing First initiatives in Manurewa ready to help those in need if they returned, she said.
But she could not promise that the local board would be able to fund a drop in centre.
"In terms of looking after our community groups and sporting groups and everyone else that local government is asked to take care of, our budget is stretched over that," she said.
Ms Munroe will be making her case in front of the local board for a drop in centre in just over a week.

The World Will Change
It is predictions and prophecy that guides many. It seems that when you believe so strongly in something, that it will occur. Many people believe in the End Times, and they have pretty most the same idea of what that is supposed to look like.
I see a possibility of an alternative outcome. But it will take a great amount of people who are willing to look beyond the doom and gloom prophets many people now follow. I see the possibility that people all over the world will begin to awaken.
For so long, the world has been fighting a spiritual tug-of-war as different religions claim exclusive dominion over the souls of humanity. Followers of Jesus, Mohammed, and Moses all believe their way is the only way to salvation. But what if they are all wrong?
It is quite arrogant for people to cling to beliefs that put the Earth at the center of the Universe. At some point in the past there lacked a basic knowledge of the cosmos and the Earth was even considered to be flat, and punishment of death do those that dared to think otherwise.
As a nation, we face the most important election in our history. The United States was founded on fundamental principles that stated our rights our derived from our Creator, in whatever form that may be to you as an individual. It doesn't matter what God or religion you believe in. As far as individual rights are concerned in the context of a government, our Constitution makes it your right to choose. But keep in mind, others have that same right also. And most important is the fact that because both you and they share the same rights, you don't have to share the same beliefs and opinions, nor can you force your beliefs and opinions on others. That is a clear violation of their God-given rights.
But throughout history, there are always those who feel that "they" know what is best for others. Whether it be a church or an entire religion, whether it be the local, state or federal government, there are always those who think their way is best for the community or for society. I feel there are some basic rights that get infringed upon when one special interest group tries to force their beliefs on everyone.
Which brings us back to why the world must and will change. It is a matter of choice. Some choose to back a group thought process and tell us that they are "free thinkers" and that they just happen to agree with most of the group. If the group is of a special interest, then that it to the exclusion of all others who are not in that particular group or who just don't agree with their opinions.
This nation as an example to the rest of the world, was to allow everyone group to live as they feel best for themselves but without interfering with everyone else. But that was also against the wishes of those groups who wished to control all the groups, and who wanted to homogenize society into a group of obedient workers and managers. They assumed the roles of executive officers and with privileges that denied the majority their basic God-given rights.
Bans on anything the government wants to control is against basic human rights. Allowing one group special privileges over all others is an infringement on the rights of others. Often I hear or read about people who feel that they have been wronged by others who have not allowed basic rights. The simple solution is to allow them rights but not to grant special privileges to them.
The world is in crisis. Economies are toppling the world over. Political and religious conflicts occur daily, with humans murdering humans simply because they differ in thinking. It is all a manipulation and it is made easy because most people deny that it exists. People refuse to believe that their government would harm them. Especially when their government is formed under their beliefs in God. Somehow they equate the religious leaders as being all knowing and always right about what God wants from you.
Did you ever bother just asking God? Do you really think that any other human has a more direct communication with God than you or I? Doesn't it seem rather arrogant to think that if God wanted to tell the world something, that it would be through one religion as opposed to all others?
There is religious war being waged today. It is being waged on many fronts as Islam and Christianity clash and Judaism it caught in the middle. But more important to the idea of God-given rights, it the ideological and philosophical war being fought. That the two are intertwined is obvious. Each religion has its own set rules, or prohibitions. And the forcing of those prohibitions as laws of government directly infringe on the God-given rights of all others, who are of a different faith than the current majority or the loudest protester.
As we are less than a week away from the 2012 Presidential Election, it appears that there are lines being drawn to differentiate between the two most prominent candidates in the media. Yet there are so parallels between these two, I find it less than amusing that the major likenesses are most ignored.
Both Barack Obama and Mitt Romney are for big government and tight control over the citizens. Individual rights mean nothing to either of them although they each pay lip service to it, and defend the denial and suspension of rights when the illusion of security is at risk.
Make no mistake; there is no difference when it comes to enforcing laws like the Patriot Act or National Defense Authorization Act. Both agree that if they feel it necessary, an Executive Order can be written that will by-pass the normal channels of legislation to do whatever it is they want to do.
While on the surface they seem so far apart on many issues that are relevant, they both support the same methods that got us in this mess, whether it is taxes and regulation, or defining a class of people to single out as being good or bad for the nation.
Is it too late to convince registered voters of both major parties to abandon the party and vote for a different candidate? How about a Libertarian? How about Gary Johnson?

Only Two Weeks Left!
The lies Romney told years ago are now coming back to haunt him. When I mentioned this in many posts, most people called me a "Paulbot" claiming that Romney, the man who finished third in the 2008 RNC race, was the best candidate the GOP had. They were wrong then and they are still wrong now.
There was and is only one candidate that Obama and his "handlers" knew would defeat the President in November. That is what the post, Obama Issues "Kill Order" Regarding Ron Paul and Russia Prepares for Nuclear World War III was all about. They all knew that Ron Paul was gaining support from the younger voters and the independents who were fed up with the farce of the so-called two-party system.
In caucuses and primaries across the nation, Ron Paul was gaining on all of the other nominees. In order to stop him, the votes were rigged; the rules were changed by the RNC to disenfranchise delegates supporting Ron Paul. All manner of corruption and media propaganda was used to stop Ron Paul from gaining the nomination.
It is always difficult to defeat an incumbent, more so when the players are cheating. But there is a solution. Vote for Ron Paul!
No matter how much the media and the parties tell you about their candidates, the truth is plain to see by all who wish to see it. Ron Paul is the People's Candidate because his past and present reflect his commitment to obeying the Constitution and respecting the rights of individuals.
Ron Paul has a solid plan to restore the United States to liberty and prosperity. Outlined here in the post Dr. Ron Paul's Plans To Reduce The Cost Of Government he displays a logical and reasonable approach to make America great once again, both for the People of the United States and in the eyes of the world. All he needs from us is our support and vote.

Change is the one constant that we all can depend on. Whether it is the weather or the seasons, the pressing issues of the moment, change is inevitable.
Many people resist change. "Why can't it be like it was?" It is because like the seasons, we all change also. Some will change for the better as they experience and learn and others will resist changing no matter what they experience or learn to the contrary of their beliefs.
Nonetheless, change will occur. And in the context of what we live in as a world, the change that has been coming is not the change that most intelligent people feel comfortable with. But it remains constant.
Here in the United States, we get to elect a new President every four years, and if we are pleased with the performance during that term, we can elect the President for another term of four years. And how shall we measure that performance?
Some will say that during Obama's term, their lives are better. Most will probably say otherwise. I include myself in the latter group, as I have witnessed the rise in unemployment, much of which is unreported since many of those who collected compensation have exhausted their benefits and are no longer counted as unemployment claims or job applicants for that matter. Many jobs have just disappeared over the last four years.
Some will claim that the Affordable Patient Protection Act will help millions who currently have no health insurance to be covered. My experience is that the price paid for that coverage is less coverage for those who have been paying premiums and even those who have been using subsidized or government provided health care in the past. I have felt the change on a personal level by being denied coverage for dental and vision, and even for a medical device prescribed by a specialist.
The justification for denial of care is an accounting policy, not a medical one. And as more of the Obamacare policies come on line there will be more complaints and less coverage all coming at a higher cost to those who will be paying so that others, currently like me, will have coverage. But once again, having coverage and being denied treatment is still like having no coverage at all.
The candidates debate issues, many of which are targeting particular groups of voters. What they are not debating is the basic liberties and rights that are being taken from the American people. Sure they have justifications for doing so. They always can justify their actions and many people will believe they are justified in doing so.
So I am proposing change in our government, not just in who sits in the Oval Office, but those who legislate in both houses of Congress. I propose taking Democrats and Republicans out of office and replacing them with citizens like ourselves who have no vested interest in creating laws that benefit their lobbyists and themselves at the consequence of so many millions of America people.
I propose that doctors and not politicians help write health care policy without the interference of groups like the American Medical Association and their pharmaceutical manufacturing supporters.

Reaction Without Reason
It is easy to assume that most Americans are looking for an alternative to four more years of President Obama and his administration; however it is not clear in what direction the mainstream alternative will take us.
It is quite obvious that Mitt Romney is the choice of the Republican Party, yet it is also obvious the lengths they have taken to subvert challenges to his candidacy at all costs. Even the formidable Tea Party lobby has been usurped by the 'neo-cons' who have chosen to back a candidate who clearly was not even a second choice just four years ago. Now they expect a short-term memory public will jump on the bandwagon just to replace the incumbent President. With taglines like, "Anyone but Obama!" it is believed that high fuel prices and high unemployment will cause many Democrats and independent voters to back the GOP candidate.
This a reaction without a reasonable basis. It was evident on 2008 that the GOP did not want Ron Paul as their candidate. Instead they backed the most liberal choice in John McCain and the current candidate finished third in the convention behind former Governor Mike Huckabee. In the caucuses and debates that led to the primaries, and finally to the Republican National Convention, evidence of corruption and fraud went unnoticed and under reported by the privately-owned major media, who fell in line with party propaganda to boost a 'flip-flopping' Mitt Romney into the presidential candidacy.
In the post, Obama Issues "Kill Order" Regarding Ron Paul and Russia Prepares for Nuclear World War III , evidence surfaced in foreign media that the Obama camp was adamant about keeping Ron Paul off the ballot, as they knew he was the most formidable foe the President would face in the November elections. It was Ron Paul who they feared would topple the regime and begin the real revolution to restore the Republic.
Apparently that sentiment is still stoking the fires as we are less than a month away from the polls, we still find the power structure continues to divide the American vote. Several States have unlawfully refused to allow Ron Paul on the ballot, and now some are saying that Ron Paul write-in votes will not be counted. Furthering the division is the Libertarian Party who backed Gary Johnson, an early dropout for the Republican nomination, who all of a sudden is thumping a platform that is the hallmark of the Ron Paul campaign and the Revolution Movement.
Reasonable people seldom make rash decisions, so it must be well planned and implemented by a propaganda campaign that attacks on many fronts, confusing the voter with so many rhetorical points. With all of the points of attack, I see one that is ignored; liberty is omitted in all the rhetoric. The economy and education, healthcare and women's rights, national security and terrorism, are all good points to address although how these issues are solved by government leaves many wondering what happened to our basic rights. But before it can be brought up in public forum, another crisis must be handled, once again obscuring the real issues in the face of another immediate danger or threat to national security.
The fate of the entire world rests on the choices America makes in this coming Presidential Election. The very essence of freedom teeters on the edge of a precipice with no safety net. The future of mankind will be determined by an election not unlike elections that brought Adolph Hitler and other dictators to power. But this time it is not one nation alone, it is a global maneuver that has been decades in the making.
Will America react or will they exercise reason? We will all know in a few weeks!

The Propaganda Machine
During the National Socialist takeover of Germany, Hitler and his backers employed one of the most effective propaganda campaigns ever designed up to that time. Here in America today, we are being attacked by an even greater technology, that penetrates every aspect of our modern society.
The propaganda has become part of education in public schools and is enforced by federal mandates and standards. If schools or districts do not comply, they face withheld funding or worse. School system mandates have prevented parents from being responsible for their own children.
The privately-owned major media has been controlled by certain policies the government advocates. What they call news agencies put forward is filtered and if it does not conform to policy is downplayed or eliminated. Emmy Award winning journalist Amber Lyon left CNN having stated that CNN promotes propaganda and not journalism. Longtime anchor Lou Dobbs resigned from CNN for the same reasons.
Because the news networks are influenced or directed by policy,the truth no longer matters. it is difficult to find real news reported by the major media outlets. The wire services, AP and Reuters for example, are used as sources of news by all of the major newspapers and privately-owned major media networks.
With the purchase of ABC by Disney, we now have another 'Mickey Mouse' media outlet, and I apologize to Mickey Mouse for the reference. I do not apologize to the many ignorant participants of the farce, who are selling this garbage to the public or the public that is buying it.

Divide to Conquer
A strange occurrence emerges as we get closer to the November elections. Ron Paul supporters are being told (once again) that he is not on the ballot in several states therefore they should back Romney or Gary Johnson. It would appear that this would further divide the votes and assure four more years of Obama.
This blog reported the concerted effort by both Democrats and Republicans to keep Ron Paul off the ballots. The reason was evident that he was the only one that can beat Obama head-to-head. Anyone with a pulse can see that now that Romney has shown some life as a contender in spite of the fact that he is more like Obama than different, further division of the voters seems necessary to keep Obama in office so he can complete the destruction of the United States he started in 2008.
Fast and Furious gun sales to Mexican gangsters pushed onto Eric Holder but defended by the White House, and we know how Defense Secretary Leon Panetta totally ignored Congress, in fact, told Congress that he gets his orders from NATO and the UN. Now we have a Hillary Clinton-run Department of State that is trying to take the blame for the killing of U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens, and while it is her responsibility, she takes her directives from the President.
Would a President Romney have handled this differently? I don't know that because Romney has changed his mind more often that a mother changes her baby's diapers. What I do know is that a President Ron Paul would not have allowed the killings to happen in the first place, because his policy is clear regarding "meddling" in foreign nations.
The division is not about right/left or even the few issues that privately-owned major media keeps shoving at us. It's really a matter of principles of liberty, the foundations of our republic, the very survival of our nation. That is the real issue that we need to focus on this election.
Do Americans really trust Romney and Ryan will be much of an improvement over Obama? Based on results, Ryan has proved to me he can lie as well as the left, in fact he did lie to the Tea Party folks that backed his election on his promise to reduce deficit spending and not raise the debt ceiling. He voted for the debt ceiling increase. Ron Paul has a history of voting strictly on constitutional grounds, even when his constituents thought otherwise, and they elected him again and again not because of what he promised or gave them, but because he always demonstrates integrity and honesty.
Ron Paul is the only candidate that has a long history of private and public service in which his character cannot be impeached. He is a true patriot and statesman in the Jefferson and Madison tradition. He is the one that Americans need as the 45th President of the United States.

Resistance is Futile: Assimilate or Annihilate
History shows that no matter how bitter the battle and how costly the victory, the public will soon forget and feel they can once again trust others to protect them.
That happened with the victors of the Revolutionary War as the general public relaxed and allowed others to deal with the protection of the new Republic. They soon forgot how important it was to their own liberty to be wary and remain vigilant. There are always those who attempt to subvert the will of the people through deceit and force.
The entire chronology of the events that leads up to the present will be too lengthy to display in a blog article. However it does demonstrate the steps that were taken to slowly take control of the nation and the methods employed were devious.
Controlling the People's money was the primary goal employed. The failed Aldrich Bill was later reintroduced as the Federal Reserve Act, and the public was duped into believing in was the cure for economic collapse. Reality has demonstrated the contrary in that it is the cause and not the cure.
Getting the individual States to lose the Senatorial selection played a major part in defeating the Republic. The 17th Amendment needs to be repeals so that there is a more equitable balance of power in the Congress.
Of course that alone will not restore liberty to the States and the People respectively, but it will serve to repair the foundation of federal government that become shaky when the amendment was ratified. Some question the validity of that ratification, and I mention it here so my readers may further research and determine the veracity of it for themselves.
The education of the young was another part of society that became a "responsibility" of the federal government through the effective lobby of the corporate leaders in America, why felt by controlling what was taught and how student were "supposed" to think, it would benefit the corporate need for disciplined workers. By further standardizing education into primary and secondary, and then post-secondary further segregated from the former two, they made that college and University education expensive so that the average worker could not afford it for themselves or their children. It was an effective process to separate People into "classes."
The premise of "life, liberty and property" became "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" where happiness became synonymous with having two weeks vacation after all the living expenses were paid, and the assumption of property ownership was unlawfully replaced with deeds issued by the corporate state. Think you "own" your house? Try refusing to pay property taxes and see how long you remain in possession of it. It is the State's property so long as you pay your lease fees which are called property taxes.
Motor vehicles are not owned by the People, they are registered to the lessee, and the lessee pays fees to register said vehicle in their name as the responsible party.
Instead of protecting the religious rights of the People, the modern interpretation of the Constitution fools the People into thinking that banning any religious displays in public is protection. Under the guise of not wanting to offend others with contrary beliefs the rights to religious expression are thereby suppressed. That is unless of course, the religion happens to be Muslim and the political environment wants to appear tolerant by becoming intolerant to expression of all other faiths. It is this very thing that the Constitution was to prevent.
People step up and dare to challenge the system of delusion only to be beat back with anger, arrest, harassment, and ridicule. No suppression or retribution is unwarranted when the government and its puppet masters need to quell the uprising against them.
So we are left with this:
Obey the government no matter what they tell you or become a dissenter, an insurgent, a rebel, a terrorist. Regardless of how you feel, the government will choose what category you fall into based on the level of your resistance to slavery. They will determine whether you can be interred and "re-educated" or if you are threat to society because you cannot be reprogrammed, and therefore must be eliminated from being a disruptive influence on others.

Given by God and Taken by Government
What God gives us the government wants to take away. There is no reason for Americans to think that government grants you rights. Our Declaration of Independence makes that perfectly clear.
We are led to believe that laws that "protect" us from terrorists are in our best interests, even when they infringe on our rights. Nothing can be further from the truth. Our rights are unalienable and granted by our Creator, and unless we willingly or unwillingly give up those rights, by deception or force, no individual or group of individuals can take them from us.
While we can point to more recent usurpation(s) of constitutional law such as the Patriot Act and the National Defense Authorization Act as infringements on the rights of We the People, the beginnings trace further back into our nation's history. Now we also have H. R. 347 which limits free speech.
With the passage of the unconstitutional Federal Reserve Act in 1913 and the subsequent laws of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal, our liberty has slowly been taken away from us. By accepting the Social Security number assigned to each and every one of us, we have been reduced from a sovereign individual to a possession of the government. Even our births and marriages have been cataloged with a number assigned so that we may be tracked and taxed accordingly.
There was never a repeal of the apportioned taxing laws of the Constitution, only unlawful amendments that make it seem lawful. The issue is complicated by the fact that these unconstitutional laws are accepted by Americans by deception of corporate and contract laws that have corrupted the government structure itself.
There are no provisions in the Constitution for the government to control education. If was deemed necessary I am certain that our founders would have included such in the founding documents. There is no mention in all of those founding documents of "persons" because a "person" is a fictitious entity created under corporate law, instituted by the Uniform Commerce Code. These unconstitutional laws actually bypass the Constitution and create a corporate system that is based on Admiralty or Maritime Law, also known as the laws of the seas.
Our Constitution and the limits of federal government were based on natural law or the Law of Nations. There is an important distinction between these two very different forms of government. Further information may be found on a very good website called De-tax Canada which gives in-depth coverage to the methods employed by the powerful banking elites to control the world's population through subversion and deceit. Every aspect of society has been infiltrated and corrupted by the bankers and their henchmen.
Now the government is making pacts or treaties with the United Nations to support the Small Arms Ban Treaty which is yet another infringement on the rights of Americans to own and bear arms. Don't be fooled into thinking that this is just an Obama thing. This is being done regardless of which Democrat or Republican is in the White House and our representatives in Congress are just going along with it.
When will it end? It won't end until either we are all subjects of a world government power structure or we revolt against these atrocities and take back our nation from the grips of those who seek to destroy the United States.
The real threat to America is not from Islamic terrorists; It's from the people we entrusted with protecting us.

High Treason and Treachery
"From the 1893 Dictionary of Law:
Treason. Betrayal, treachery, breach of faith or allegiance.
Treason may exist only as between allies: it is a general appellation to denote not only offenses against the king and government, but also accumulation of guilt which arises whenever a superior reposes a confidence in a subject or inferior, between whom and himself there subsists a natural, a civil, or even a spiritual relation, and the inferior so abuses that confidence, so forgets the obligations of duty, subjugation, and allegiance, as to destroy the life of the superior.
When disloyalty attacks majesty itself it is called, by way of distinction, high treason, equivalent to the 'crimen loesoe majestatis' of the Romans.
High treason is the most heinous civil crime a man can commit. If indeterminate, this alone is sufficient to make a government degenerate into arbitrary power."
Copied from the website: Detax Canada - http://www.detaxcanada.org/treason.htm
Is the President of the United States guilty of high treason? What about the Secretaries of Defense and State? And may we also include the Attorney General in this grouping? If you are of the opinion that the Constitution of the United States is the law of the land, then it must be evident that the above mentioned offices have violated the Constitution and hence the trust of the American People to whom they vowed to protect.
We can view the actions of Eric Holder as criminal as he had violated law by allowing known criminals to obtain weapons through illegal means. Americans have been murdered with these weapons and yet the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms along with the Department of Justice have not been held accountable by Congress or the President. In fact, many of them including Barack Obama have covered up and stalled investigations into the matter.
In blatant violation of the Constitution regarding declaration of war, Secretary of Defense, Leon Panetta told Congress that he will take such orders from NATO and the UN. And Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton and the President are signing UN Small Arms Ban treaties also a direct violation of the Second Amendment.
And all most Americans do is complain to one another instead of marching on their State capitals and demanding their Governors protect them from just a runaway federal administration that resembles more of a cabal or cartel.
This election in November may be the last one as there is no chance for the United States to remain sovereign while giving in to such an international order as is the United Nations and the central banks that are now in control. Even candidate Romney has indicated his support for the central banks, saying that the Federal Reserve System is better than having Congress responsible for the Treasury.

The foundation upon which nearly all plants grow is soil. Knowledge about the nature and properties of soil will give a better understanding of how to use soil more effectively to support healthy plant growth and an overall healthy environment.
When growing a plant one of the main considerations is its growing medium. In certain specialized settings various mediums are used like plug trays, or a nutrient solution as in hydroponics; however, for nearly all plants the growing medium is going to be soil. Plants do process sunlight into food, but to make that process work the plants need to uptake complementary nutrients, and in that process plants actually mine nutrients from the soil. So for a plant to be healthy it not only needs some light exposure but it also needs soil that helps supply it with its building blocks.
There are many commercially available soils which serve well to support the healthy growth of plants. A bag of soil at the local nursery which is organic and indicated for vegetables will likely have everything needed to get started. Because vegetables often grow quick and take a lot out of the soil, soils specifically recommended for vegetables will often be well fortified for most growing situations. Once the soil is available it can be used for growing plants from seed, for transferring starts into that soil, or for using the soil in a garden or other raised bed. However, if the area is somewhat large it might be more economical to look for nurseries that will sell soil in bulk, instead of just in bags.
These commercially available soils are usually well off in terms of nutrients, but are often very dry, so should be wet slightly prior to transplanting so that any roots do not dry out; and again after any transplanting plants should always be well watered in. The soils should not look or feel dry, but also not be so wet that water can be squeezed out of it.
If you grow a plant in a pot, the pot should be filled with soil no closer than one inch from the rim of the pot, as this will allow room for water as it soaks into the soil. The soil should be well packed down without being too firm, this may sound somewhat vague, but just thinking about how to best use the soil to tuck in a little growing plant with care, often results in just the right touch. If planting seeds this same firming in of the soil is helpful. The pressure ensures that the rots are in contact with the soil which helps prevent unnecessary drying out, and the gentleness helps ensure that the soil is not too compact and unnecessarily difficult for growing root to penetrate.
Now that you have an understanding for how to work with the soil to support the health of plants there is a more in depth explanation around the various aspects of soil; specifically where soil comes from, what are the chemical components of soil, what are the biological components of soil, and how all of these elements come alive and result in inactive dirt becoming dynamically active soil.
Soil is a dynamic ecosystem composed of parent rock, elements, and abundant biology held together in a delicate balance. Like the peel of an apple the soil is only present as a thin skin around the outer layer of the Earth, and of all the land only about 3-4% is suitable for food production. To gain a basic understanding of soil it can be helpful to become familiar with where soil comes from, what is necessary for soil to be healthy and what causes soil systems to die and even become extinct. Each of the factors that make up the soil contributes to it being formed and structured in many different ways. In the US alone there are over 19,000 different soil series or varieties and an untold amount across the entire world. By understanding what makes up soil it allows for a deeper understanding of what plants are dependent upon and composed of, and ultimately what is the foundation for influencing our own health and well being.
Just as with plants and animals it is appropriate to think of there being essential nutrients for healthy soils. A child might be able to run around for much of the day after eating a bunch of sugary foods and energy drinks, but this is not the recipe for lasting sustained growth. Similarly, plants are able to show a flurry of activity after the application of artificial fertilizers, but this is not going to result in sustained growth for the plants or the planet. There are three nutrients that have long received the focus as being the most important for healthy growth, this is what is seen on the sides of bags of fertilizer; and these are Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), and Potassium (K). These three primary nutrients are very important, but there are others that are also very important such as the secondary nutrients Calcium (Ca), Magnesium (Mg), and Sulfur (S); and the seven micro-nutrients Zinc (Zn), Manganese (Mn), Iron (Fe), Boron (B), Chlorine (Cl), Copper (Cu), and Molybdenum (Mo). And where we might not yet understand how or why the other elements are important it has been suggested by soil scientist that through the long process of evolution that the soil biology has found a productive use for all of the elements.

In the beginning of Parashat Bamidbar Hashem commands Moshe and Aharon to take a census of all males above the age of twenty. This was the second census in the wilderness; the first being the onementioned in the book of Shemot. However there was a difference between the two. Whereas in this week's portion the tribes were counted separately, in Shemot the nation was counted as a whole. Some authorities explain that the count in Shemot transpired before the construction of the Tabernacle.
Before the nation had a central place of worship a count by tribe would have been a danger to Jewish unity. Counting a tribe on its own could have led to factionalism among the children of Israel since it would have strengthened loyalty to one"s tribe. However after the tabernacle was constructed and placed in their midst, physically and spiritually, the risk of tribalism evaporated.
Disunity is no longer a problem when Jews have a house of worship as a central part of their life. Individualism is important and encouraged as long as the centrality of Hashem remains as a foundation.

Two months after creating this blog, named SheLaughs, my family experienced an unexpected death. I have not posted recently because how in the world could I write something that is humorous while feeling sad. But it occurred to me as I was drinking my morning coffee, the memories that continue to play in my mind are those of a very funny man and the hilarious times we had.
Jack was a family man in every sense, married to my sister, father to four adults, grandfather to seven, and great-grandfather to one. He was your typical working stiff – committed to fulfilling the duties and responsibilities at work. Just as important to him were his responsibilities at home. I don't think there was anything Jack enjoyed more than spending time with his growing family. For his alone time, he relished going to the local Circle K for his cup of coffee and reading his newspaper at the kitchen table – the simple pleasures. Jack may not have had the luxuries some are lucky enough to enjoy, but he was rich in character.
At his celebration memorial, friends and family came to offer their condolences and share their stories. Witnessing his kids join together to create a beautiful memorial made my heart swell. My niece said to me, "we want to do this so my mom does not have to worry". However, the most memorable moment was when my nephew delivered his speech. The speech was eloquent, heartfelt and my nephew was poised the entire time. Jack would have been proud.
Grieving ebbs and flows and everyone experiences it differently. In time, the sadness will be replaced with laughter because Jack blessed us with funny memories we will recall, reminisce and re-tell.
Well said! My grandmother, who we lost almost 19 years ago, visits my memories almost every day and makes me laugh and feel good inside. My sympathies to you and your family and I wish you all many enjoyable memories ahead.
Thank you, Tala. I'm happy you are able to experience good memories – grandmothers hold a special place in our hearts.
