Thoughts on President Biden: the total disenfranchisement of "posterity" i.e. the white MEN for whom the founding fathers conquered America.
Seidel and Peter Hitchens concur that Christian support for war is what killed Christianity in the West.
Seidel in The Founding Myth (2019) tells us that 800,000 white men, needlessly marched to their deaths in the biggest war yet seen, the American Civil War, because Christian fanatics on both sides preached the war into existence, and kept it going by refusing to compromise.
WW1 was whipped up by Christian pastors against an increasingly Christ-less, rationalist, deist, existentialist and inerrantist-rejecting Germany. Preachers saw WW1 as a crusade of the Gospel and soul-equality against German notions of blood and soil.
Why I abominate political Christianity, and call out those who wish to profane the sacred cause of Irish nationalism with their theological delusions; their Mishnaic-Talmudic Sauline and Jesu-ist "God-spell" or Gospel.
Snap out of this Jehovah spell, white man!

Larry Correia, bestselling novelist and erstwhile auditor, notes the panoply of red flags surrounding the fraudulent 2020 presidential election:
Before I became a novelist I was an accountant. In auditing you look for red flags. That's weird bits in the data that suggest something shifty is going on. You flag those weird things so you can delve into them further. One flag doesn't necessarily mean there's fraud. Weird things happen. A few flags mean stupidity or dishonesty. But a giant pile of red flags means that there's bad shit going on and people should be in jail.
Except for in politics, where apparently all you have to do to dismiss a bunch of red flag is be a democrat and mumble something about "fascist voter suppression" then you can do all sorts of blatant crime and get off.
I've been trying to keep up with the firehose of information about what's going on during this clusterfuck of an election. Last night I was on Facebook talking about the crazy high, 3rd world dictatorship level voter turnout levels in the deep blue areas of these swing states was very suspicious. Somebody gas lighted me about how "I'd have to do better than that", so this was my quick reply, listing off the questionable bullshit I could think of off the top of my head:
The massive turn out alone is a red flag.
But as for doing better…
The late night spikes that were enough to close all the Trump leads are a red flag.
The statistically impossible breakdown of the ratios of these vote dumps is a red flag.
The ratios of these dumps being far better than the percentages in the bluest of blue cities, even though the historical data does not match, red flag.
The ratios of these vote dumps favoring Biden more in these few battlegrounds than the ratio for the rest of the country (even the bluest of the blue) red flag.
Biden outperforming Obama among these few urban vote dumps, even though Trump picked up points in every demographic group in the rest of the country, red flag.
The poll observers being removed. Red flag.
The counters cheering as GOP observers are removed, red flag.
The fact that the dem observers outnumber the GOP observers 3 to 1, red flag (and basis of the first lawsuit filed)
The electioneering at the polls (on video), red flag.
The willful violation of the court order requiring the separation of ballots by type, red flag.
USPS whistleblower reporting to the Inspector General that today they were ordered to backdate ballots to yesterday, red flag.
The video of 2 AM deliveries of what appear to be boxes of ballots with no chain of custody or other observers right before the late night miracle spikes, red flag.
Any of those things would be enough to trigger an audit in the normal world. This many flags and I'd be giggling in anticipation of catching some thieves. And it isn't that I have to do better. I'm just an gen pop observer who happens to be a retired auditor with a finely tuned bullshit detector. This is going to the courts.

HOLY SMOKES. CONFIRMED :
– multiple DOJ/FBI investigations ongoing into the election.
– evidence of rampant backdating of ballots – multiple whistleblowers now coming forward
– algorithm in IT programs switching votes from Trump to Biden discovered – used in all the swing States
– Powell mentions they have evidence Dems used Obama's 'Hammer' program!

Gridlock Is Good—Except in the Jaws of Massive Public Debts
Ordinarily, conservatives should be smiling most of all. Donald Trump is no friend of liberty, small government or fiscal and monetary rectitude, and he's now (almost) gone. Good riddance!
More broadly, large, fully mobilized governmental majorities are the handmaids of Leviathan. Always and everywhere the expansion of state power gets abused by ambitious politicians and government apparatchiks for the benefit of the few at the expense of the many. So paralyzed government is just the thing to safeguard personal liberty and private prosperity.
Nor are we talking just, or even mainly, about the threat of old-fashioned mailed fists and boot-heel tyranny where citizens are rounded up and jailed. Today's Leviathan presents more often than not as the Nanny State, wielding a velvet glove of regulation, taxation and fiscal subvention in the name of the public welfare and protection of citizens from themselves.
But the result is tyranny just the same. The War on Drugs is a 50-year old example, while the swift, shocking and economically catastrophic imposition of economic martial law last spring to eradicate a super-flu is but the latest. Yet now this eight-month old excrescence of Nanny State oppression threatens constitutional government and capitalist prosperity like rarely before.
So the fact that the Dem majority in the US House has been cut from 35 votes to less than 20 and the Senate will likely remain 52-48 Republican is in many respects all to the good.
For one thing, all the hobgoblins that have terrified Mark Levin and Sean Hannity – Supreme Court packing, elimination of the Senate filibuster rule, sacking the Electoral College, making Washington DC and Puerto Rico (Dem) states, prohibition of fracking and outlawing of fossil fuels, Medicare-for-all, legalization of millions of new immigrant (Dem) voters – are now absolute dead letters.
Contract to Unite Amer…Neal SimonBuy New $21.49(as of 05:28 EST – Details)Even better, Sleepy Joe may well abdicate to a Kamala Harris Regency, but it will be one shorn of the Progressive/Left part of the equation. That's because on substantive legislation it will take 60 votes to break a Senate GOP filibuster, but it will be a rare day inside the beltway when 100% of the Senate Dems including Manchin (WV) and Tester (MT) and 11 Republicans are corralled in favor of the kind of Bernie/AOC stuff that got stuffed into the Dem platform.
Regardless of how the election turns out, it's obvious America is not much of a country anymore, much less a nation. The sooner we accept this, the sooner we can get to work asserting the principles of federalism, subsidiarity, nullification, and even secession. None of the current frictions will get better over time, but they can get much worse—and our most important task must be to avoid any movement toward outright civil war.
There are workable baby steps toward this. Law professor Frank Buckley writes about "secession lite" in his sober and reasoned book on the subject of a national breakup. Buckley sees a third-way approach between our current disfunction and an outright breakup into new political entities, primarily through aggressive federalism and state nullification. This echoes sentiments from Professor Angelo Codevilla, who similarly argues that the feds simply lack the manpower to enforce federal laws and edicts on recalcitrant states. Just as blue states declared sanctuary cities as havens from Trump's immigration policies, red states could restrict all manner of federal dictates (abortion and gun control come to mind) while simply daring the feds to interfere. At the end of the day, Codevilla reminds us, there are only a few million of them and many millions of us. And progressives too share this sentiment; even if Biden prevails, they remain shaken by the degree of Trump support. In fact the 2016 election saw the New Republic advocate nothing short of a renunciation of the hated red states.
United States Air Force Lieutenant General Thomas McInerney explains a special software developed by the National Security Agency that can be used to alter vote counts in elections. He explains the software and its use in this 7 minute video.
In this article, the Off-Guardian explains the use of the software to alter the outcome of the vote in Wisconsin and Michigan:.
In this article the Fake News Site, CNN, attempts to explain away the obviously altered vote.
The media speaks with one voice. The print, TV, NPR, social media, and the anti-Trump Internet sites exercise censorship and control the explanations.
We are experiencing a well designed and successful coup against American democracy and accountable government.
No, this is not a conspiracy theory. It is a revolution against red state America.
I spoke yesterday with Bill Meyer, who hosts the Bill Meyer Show in Oregon. We talked, among other things, about the explosive fact that in states like VA and CA, a geographically tiny canker sore of urban density has achieved almost unassailable political control over the entire state.
For example, in my state – Virginia – 85 percent of the state, by geography, voted for the Orange Man but because of Northern Va and Richmond, which are hives of government workers (which means government-lovers) the state fell to the Hair Plugged Man.
The majority of the state is controlled politically by a minority of the state. It's the same in CA and a number of other states, too.
The people no longer have a voice.
Because some people control the state.
The people of Northern Virginia have the right to govern themselves – and so do the people of the rest of the state. The state should be recognized in law what it is in fact, which is two states. The same applies to the people of other states, who have the right to govern themselves but not the right to lord it over everyone else in the state.
This is a natural evolution.
People change – and with them, politics. It is unnatural to force them to pretend to be the same people when they are manifestly so different.
They must be allowed to separate.
Of course, voting by mail is fraught with potential for fraud, something that has been demonstrated by numerous studies.
How big is the problem? The federal Election Assistance Commission found that, between 2012 and 2018, 28.3 million mail-in ballots went unaccounted for. That's equal to missing roughly 20% of "all absentee ballots and ballots mailed to voters residing in states that do elections exclusively by mail," a recent Real Clear Politics piece noted.
At the very minimum, this poses serious risks to election security. Add the likelihood that some of the ballots have no doubt been used to perpetrate fraud, and you have the makings of a crisis of confidence in our voting system.Buy New $19.95(as of 05:40 EST – Details)
Even the New York Times once admitted this. Back in 2012, as President Barack Obama squared off against Republican Mitt Romney, the Times reported that voter fraud with mail-in ballots "is vastly more prevalent than the in-person voting fraud that has attracted far more attention, election administrators say. In Florida, absentee-ballot scandals seem to arrive like clockwork around election time."
That's thousands of miles away from their current stance.
Earlier, in 2008, the CalTech/MIT Voting Technology Project recommended that, rather than expanding vote-by-mail, states should instead "restrict or abolish on-demand absentee voting in favor of in-person early voting."
So what's to stop the fraudsters? Nothing, really. Most poll locations no longer require identification. You have to have a driver's license to fly, to drive and to buy alcohol. But not to vote.
Things also changed with the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913. Before that, the US used gold coinage for money. "The dollar" was just a name for 1/20th of an ounce of gold. That is what the dollar was. Paper dollars were just receipts for gold on deposit in the Treasury. The income tax, enacted the same year, threw more sand in the gears of civilization. The world was much freer before the events of 1913 and 1914, which acted to put the State at the center of everything.
The Fed and the income tax are both disastrous and unnecessary things, enemies of the common man in every way. Unfortunately, people have come to believe they're fixtures in the cosmic firmament. They're the main reasons—there are many other reasons, though, unfortunately—why the average American's standard of living has been dropping since the early 1970s. In fact, were it not for these things, and the immense amount of capital destroyed during the numerous wars of the last 100 years, I expect we'd have already colonized the moon and Mars. Among many other things…
Doug Casey: All the world's governments and central banks share a common philosophy, which drives these policies. They believe that you create economic activity by stimulating demand, and you stimulate demand by printing money. And, of course, it's true, in a way. Roughly the same way a counterfeiter can stimulate a local economy.
Unfortunately, they ignore that, and completely ignore that the way a person or a society becomes wealthy is by producing more than they consume and saving the difference. That difference, savings, is how you create capital. Without capital you're reduced to subsistence, scratching at the earth with a stick. These people think that by inflating—which is to say destroying—the currency, they can create prosperity. But what they're really doing, is destroying capital: When you destroy the value of the currency, that discourages people from saving it. And when people don't save, they can't build capital, and the vicious cycle goes on.
This is destructive for civilization itself, in both the long term and the short term. The more paper money, the more credit, they create, the more society focuses on finance, as opposed to production. It's why there are many times more people studying finance than science. The focus is increasingly on speculation, not production. Financial engineering, not mechanical, electrical, or chemical engineering. And lots of laws and regulations to keep the unstable structure from collapsing.
What keeps a truly civil society together isn't laws, regulations, and police. It's peer pressure, social opprobrium, moral approbation, and your reputation. These are the four elements that keep things together. Western Civilization is built on voluntarism. But, as the State grows, that's being replaced by coercion in every aspect of society. There are regulations on the most obscure areas of life. As Harvey Silverglate pointed out in his book, the average American commits three felonies a day. Whether he's caught and prosecuted is a subject of luck and the arbitrary will of some functionary. That's antithetical to the core values of Western Civilization.
Negative interest rates discourage saving. Once again, saving is what builds capital. Without capital you wind up as an empty shell—Rome in 450 A.D., or Detroit today—lots of wonderful but empty buildings and no economic activity. Worse, it forces people to desperately put their money in all manner of idiotic speculations in an effort to stay ahead of inflation. They wind up chasing the bubbles the funny money creates.
Let me re-emphasize something: in order for science and technology to advance you need capital. Where does capital come from? It comes from people producing more than they consume and saving the difference.
The economic central planners know this. It's why they're using negative interest rates to ramp up the War on Cash—the push to eliminate paper currency and create a cashless society.
The banking system is very fragile. Banks don't hold much paper cash. It's mostly digital bytes on a computer. If people start withdrawing paper money en masse, it won't take much to bring the whole system down.
Their solution is to make accessing cash harder, and in some cases, illegal. That's why the economic witch doctors at Harvard are pounding the table to get rid of the $100 bill.
Take France, for example. It's now illegal to make cash transactions over €1,000 without documenting them properly.
Negative interest rates have turbocharged the War on Cash. If the central planners win this war, it would be the final deathblow to financial privacy.
Words—their exact meanings, and how they're used—are critically important. If you don't mean what you say and say what you mean, then it's impossible to communicate accurately. Forget about transmitting philosophical concepts.
Take for example shareholders and stakeholders. We all know that a shareholder actually owns a share in a company, but have you noticed that over the last generation shareholders have become less important than stakeholders? Even though stakeholders are just hangers-on, employees, or people who are looking to get in on a shakedown. But everybody slavishly acknowledges, "Yes, we've got to look out for the stakeholders."
Where did that concept come from? It's a recent creation, but Boobus americanus seems to think it was carved in stone at the country's founding.
We're told to protect them, as if they were a valuable and endangered species. I say, "A pox upon stakeholders." If they want a vote in what a company does, then they ought to become shareholders. Stakeholders are a class of being created out of nothing by Cultural Marxists for the purpose of shaking down shareholders.
[similar to 'human rights' conceptual scam]
He reiterated that a "group of corrupt people who have absolute contempt for the American people who believe we are so spineless, so cowardly, so unwilling to stand up for ourselves that they can steal the presidency."
The corrupt bureaucrats that targeted President Donald Trump since the start of his presidency believe we – the American people – will do nothing but "wring our hands," he said.
The "hope is that President Trump will lead the millions of Americans, who understand exactly what's going on – the Philadelphia machine is corrupt, the Atlanta machine is corrupt, the machine in Detroit is corrupt – and they are trying to steal the presidency and we should not allow them to do that," Gingrich went on to say.
I'm grateful I'm not the only one feeling this way. This is not about being a soar loser this is about election corruption and suppression of the will of the American people. We've been watching this same routine of targeting President Trump since he was elected in 2016 and our nation's foundation is eroding. Soon there won't be the America of our fore-fathers but something far different than we could have ever imagined. A nation cannot survive this type of systemic corruption.
Gingrich's comments from Fox News show Hannity Thursday night:
First of all, under federal law, we should lock up the people who are breaking the law. To stop somebody from being an observer, you just broke federal law. Do you hide and put up papers so nobody can see what you are doing? You just broke federal law. You bring in ballots that aren't real? You just broke federal law.
I am sick and tired of corrupt left-wing democrats who believe that we are too timid and too easy to intimidate, and therefore let us just go out and steal it. That's exactly — no one should have any doubt.
You are watching an effort to steal the presidency of the United States. And this is not about Donald Trump. This is about the American people. the American people have the right in an honest election with honest legitimate ballots to pick their leader or are we now just sheep to be dominated by these high-tech businesses, the news media, and the various political machines? And are we are supposed to surrender? I think this is one of the great, this is a crisis in the American system comparable to Washington on Christmas Eve or comparable to Lincoln and Gettysburg. This is a genuine deep crisis of our survival.
The shy Trump voter? It was the elusive college-educated white this whole time. Whites with university diplomas voted at roughly the same rate for Trump that they did in 2016 (49 to 49) but lied about it to pollsters, throwing polls off by up to 31 points in their demographic. It's safe to say that this class of people lied on surveys out of fear of political retribution, or in some cases, bourgeois shame over voting for prioritizing low taxes and a booming stock market over "racial justice."
A number of commentators have come to the conclusion that it was the white laboring classes who Trump failed to inspire in sufficient numbers. James Allsup, Ryan Gidursky and Hunter Wallace have all made compelling arguments for this. Trump has failed to deliver on almost all of his promises in the culture war, leaving nothing but his economic and health care policies, which are all widely despised GOP boilerplate and not the populism he promised in 2016.
In Wisconsin, which Joe Biden carried by 20,000 votes, Trump could've tried to inspire just a fraction of the 900,000 whites without college degrees in the state who are not registered to vote and won easily. Instead, he spent hundreds of millions of dollars trying to win over exotic and small demographics like Native Americans and Indian-Americans.

Antonius says:
Still working on my snail mail letter to you, Alex. Since that letter is already lengthy, I'll submit info you may find interesting here.
((("Dr." Henry Abramson))) explicitly states, "…christianity is a Judaism Lite…", in addition to admitting all early christians were genetically Jewish during his historical lecture to fellow Jews about the first Roman-Jewish War. Link to lecture below; it should start at the beginning of his brief comments about christianity (about 24 mins 40 seconds into video).
https://youtu.be/F94bCi2hmBk?t=1480
Also, it was probably ignorance &/or a mistake on the good Doctor Abramson's part, but it was interesting to me that he called Pompey The Great a full-fledged Roman "Emperor" (& of course also "forgot" to mention that, according to existing historical record, the Jews themselves invited the Aryan-Romans into Judea during a civil dispute among themselves, as you know).
Jews all but certainly know Aryan history better than do we, since the early "christians" came to control all record keeping (the tiny bit they didn't outright burn)…makes me think of Orwell's quote about he who controls history.
It's something, that there apparently haven't been m/any (?) goy's able to infiltrate private gatherings of the vipers and secretly record what transpires at such…"events." I suspect Abramson's lecture would be different were he speaking in yiddish or hebrew.
Imagine if half of "white nationalists" were to take "things" as seriously as these Jewish rats. If we were to behave like the Jews as depicted in the "Protocols…" wherein we know who "we" are, are united into a clear hierarchy wherein every Aryan man knows & accepts his place, hatching plans set over the scope of literal centuries or millennia, and in possession of the Will to see such plans into fruition with nimble resourceful resilience regardless as to the challenges.
Gotta get rid of that (((Judaism Lite))) first! I know you literally already called christ-insanity exactly a watered down Judaism, and you're spot on about that. I've spent much time reflecting upon how I myself used to think when I was a practicing devotee of that Cult From Judea (till my early teens); and, it's very true that christianity causes it's adherents to be extraordinarily hypocritical & false, at least in some regards.
And causes one to be hypocritical & false in such a (schizoid) way that one may truly not even realize it. As you certainly know, the Cult From Judea paralyzes critical thought in the sufferer, especially concerning the weak points wherein one under it's spell experiences what I believe could be described as "Amygdala Hijacking's" whenever s/he encounters any-thing s/he intuitively feels/knows threatens his or her "faith."
The parts of the brain associated with logical processing are unconsciously/involuntarily de-activated, & thereafter, blood floods straight to the primal reptilian brain wherein the body's survival system of Fight or Flight is activated and floods the bloodstream with cortisol & adrenaline and whatever else, culminating in the state of cognitive dissonance & unhinged infantile emotionalism which christians excel at above all others. They'll fly into a homicidal rage quite quickly while in this state (so long as you're a fellow Aryan).
Maybe the christians' life force energy really is being sucked into a "vortex" to the planet Saturn and into (the 'eye' of "yahweh/yaldabaoth/demiurge"?) Saturn's permanent star of david hexagon shaped storm on it's northern pole…or something, crazy as that notion indeed seems (idk,agnostic).
You're one of the most learned individuals I know of, so if you somehow haven't heard about that hexagon storm and/or the Jews apparent obsession with Saturn, maybe you'll enjoy seeing the pics of it, it's quite impressive, & directly ties into some outlandish yet fascinating theories like the "Saturn Myth" (agnosticism seems best to me though).
Take care in these very dark times!

Faraday Technology Appoints Christopher Moezzi as New Vice President of Business Development
Former Executive of Conexant/Globespan to Expand Faraday's Presence in the U.S.
SUNNYVALE, California, and HSINCHU, Taiwan – February 25th, 2005 -- Faraday Technology Corporation (TAIEX: 3035), a leading provider of ASIC design services and silicon IP, today announced the appointment of Christopher Moezzi as Vice President of Business Development. Mr. Moezzi will be leading Faraday's effort into network communication, leveraging the company's Structured ASIC and Serdes technologies as PCI-Express blurs the boundary between computer, communication, and consumer products. Chris will assume his duties at Faraday's US operation in Sunnyvale , CA .
Indeed, the communications industry is on the verge of a major paradigm shift, away from proprietary interfaces and fabrics into PCI-Express based solutions. As volume escalates, especially in the access market, cost is expected to decline dramatically, making FPGA solutions less viable. Faraday sees this as a golden opportunity to leverage its expertise in PCI interfaces, competitive cost structure, and Structured ASIC technology to enter the network communications market, a market which it has not focused on before.
"Faraday is extremely pleased that Chris has joined us", said Charlie Hauck , General Manager of Faraday USA . "Chris has the proven ability to launch groundbreaking new products, close major design wins, and has big plans to drive Faraday's structured ASIC and high-speed IO technologies into new accounts."
"We are delighted to have Chris join the company", said H.P. Lin, President and CEO of Faraday Technology. "With his extensive experience and breadth of knowledge in the communications semiconductor industry, he is a key addition to the executive team as Faraday seeks to expand globally."
Moezzi has 16 years of experience in business development, product marketing, and R&D of semiconductor and communication system markets. Prior to joining Faraday Technology, Moezzi was Sr. Director of Strategic Marketing at Conexant/Globespan (NASDAQ: CNXT ). At Globespan, Mr. Moezzi launched the company's first 10M gate DSL aggregation SoC NPU and associated DSLAM reference design, while he successfully integrated multiple semiconductor and software technology acquisitions into a cohesive product line. Prior to Globespan, he was Director of marketing and business development at T-sqware, a pioneer NPU company. Mr. Moezzi has also held marketing and engineering positions at Lucent Technologies, 3Com and Apple Computers.
Moezzi holds an M.B.A. from Northeastern University , an M.S.E.E from Southern Methodist University, and a B.S.E.E. from Sharif University of Technology.
"Faraday has the right mix of cost structure, technology and foundry relationships to be the premier ASIC outsourcing partner for semiconductor and OEM customers, particularly in communications where volumes are growing, while ASP's continue to drop" said Christopher Moezzi Vice President of Business Development at Faraday. "My goal is to enhance Faraday's market position from a consumer electronics giant into a communication semiconductor powerhouse".

Biographie
André-Arnoult Aclocque est brasseur au Faubourg Saint-Antoine à Paris.

Le 14 juillet 1789, il est un des représentants de la commune, puis successivement président de son district, et commandant d'un bataillon de la garde nationale.

Dans la tumultueuse journée du 20 juin 1792, étant de garde au palais des Tuileries, il resta constamment auprès du roi. Ce prince, ayant mis sur sa tête un bonnet rouge que lui avaient présenté les hommes des faubourgs qui étaient entrés dans ses appartements, s'appuya sur Acloque pour haranguer la multitude. Quelque temps après, Acloque se retira à Sens, ne voulant plus se trouver sur le théâtre de la Révolution.

Selon les Mémoires du marquis Bertrand de Molleville sur la Révolution, Acloque avait été chargé par la cour de distribuer de l'argent au petit peuple du faubourg Saint-Antoine.

Il est mort le .

Why should you use fabric graphic printing?
Internationally, the printing trend of fabric graphic application has taken off as a result of different printing methods that have come together over time. The combination of technology developments, which allow accessible printing of large sizes, the change of customer practices including environmental awareness and confidence to utilise soft signage printing in bold and creative ways, has resulted in this new trend.
Leading display designers and manufacturers are riding the waves in the advancement of printing technology development, but what is fabric graphic applications and what are the real benefits and implications for the printing industry?
What is the definition of fabric graphic printing?
Fabric graphics is the use of textiles as a printing medium, the application is the combination of the type of fabric and the technology needed to produce the end result.
What are the benefits of fabric graphic printing?
Fabric graphic applications allows for freedom, creativity and versatility in soft signage to create a product that speaks the brand objectives and places the customer experience paramount through quality alternatives that create message cut through.
The versatile application of printed fabric means various different signage solutions are now a possibility – from portable displays to exhibition stands, TexFrameTM Fabric Displays and more.
What is dye sublimation printing and why is it the best for Fabric Graphics?
Dye Sublimation printing utilises water based ink and heat processes to directly dye the signage fabric. During the dye sublimation process, solid dye particles are changed to gas by the heat and pressure. The gaseous participles are then bonded into the fabric. When the dye becomes solid again, the colour becomes part of the fabric. Therefore, Dye Sublimation printed fabric graphic is scratch resistant, water resistant, has limited crease issues and no unpleasant smell.
Compared to alternative printing styles such as: solvent, eco solvent, UV or latex ink jet printing, which see the printed colour layer laid on top of the fabric, which requires the fabric surface to be pre-coated allowing the design to be easily be lifted from the fabric causing scratches, crease marks in the final production of the soft signage.
Dye Sublimation allows you to have flexibility in your fabric choice with the ability to print on any polyester fabric coated and uncoated of various thicknesses and construction of a fabric.
The Direct method prints the dye directly on the coated fabric; it then endures the heat process. Often the heating equipment is integrated with the printer forming an aligned direct print to heat process. This not only speeds up the production process, it also allows the dye to penetrate deeper through the fabric to create a strong image on the opposite side of the fabric. This method is ideal for printing flag, as a single sided printing with a mirror image on the reverse side.
Alternatively, the Transfer method is when dye is printed onto the transfer paper first. The paper is then laid on top of the fabric – with both the fabric and paper entering the heat press, together. During this process, the dye is transferred into the fabric. Transfer method able to print dye into any coated and uncoated polyester fabric.
Which fabric is for me?
A large number of different fabrics are available for printing in various weight and thickness, different types of composition and finishing. You can produce large scale and small scale prints from 1.6m in width right up to a format of 3.2m.
Make fabric your next choice for signage and displays to gain a more effective long-lasting products.

Meditations: The Ascetic Buddhist Path at Serene Kudumbigala Rock Monastery
Courtesy of Chula Wickramasinghe, Hiran Cooray and Asoka Kuruppu
Here atop the Kudumbigala Rock experience first hand the ascetic's tranquil way of life. Wrapped in an atmosphere of calm, Buddhist monks, who have renounced even the austere comforts of the village temple, lead an isolated existence absorbed in mediation, seeking the all elusive inner peace. They follow in the steps of their religious brethren who continuously made this rocky habitat their forest hermitage for over two thousand years. Cloistered from external distractions, ensconced amidst rocks and trees and balmed by a soothing breeze they strive to attain Nirvana, which Buddhists hold as the spiritual kingdom where freedom of the mind reigns supreme.
Leave behind your emotional baggage, conditioned thoughts, prejudices and perceived notions at the foot of this rock, steeped in history. And begin to take the first step on a pilgrim's progress to explore the serenity of an entirely different world. The long and winding path to the top of the rock is placidly beautiful with each step inviting you to take the next, which inexorably you do. The soil on the ground is sandy white, clean and pure. Tall trees and even taller boulders flank the enchanting path as it twists and turns leading toward the summit where the ambience provides one with the opportunity to discover the joys of losing one's ego. At one point in the trek, you find the path taking you through two giant boulders, a rocky canyon. Rocks rise on either side and some slope away.
On the way, you might happen to chance upon a solitary monk on the path cleaning the ground with a broom. He meets you with a smile and for a moment stops his cleaning activity to greet you. You inquire from him a few details of the place you are in and he smiles and tells you to make those inquiries from the monk at the top of the summit who might find the time to explain such matters. He explains-again with a few words and a smile, not in any apologetic or condescending way but in a matter of fact manner-he has to clean his path in the time he himself has allotted to that task, for time is of the essence. Thus you begin to understand that here on this isolated rock the sense and degree of discipline exerted by its inhabitants towards time management is ever present.
A band of monkeys flitting from tree to tree, from rock to rock, having all the time to spare, follow your movement and keep close guard and watch as you make your progress up the rock, wondering perhaps who it is who dares invade the celestial citadel of tranquility of which they appear to be the self appointed custodians.
Further up you come across a few 'kutis', the private meditating and living chambers of the resident monks, quaintly secluded under protruding boulders. Away from the path and deeper in the surrounding forest inhabited by wandering elephants and honey seeking bears, are over 200 archaeologically listed rock caves which some monks use as their 'kutis'.
Soon, after a journey that has taken you approximately half an hour, you take the final step and ascend the plateau. Throughout the climb, apart from the solitary monk doing his cleaning chores, you have not come across any one. But you are not alone and neither are you the first. More than 2,300 years ago this rock was the chosen seat of an ancient monastery of meditating monks, and has been so ever since except for a few hundred years when western colonialists occupied Sri Lanka. The monastic complex was originally established in 246 BC during the reign of King Devanampiyatissa, the king who first made Buddhism the religion of the land. As further evidence of this is a small brick built ancient stupa stands at the right end of the tableland. It was built by King Kavan Tissa (205-161BC) the father of King Dutugamunu.
After years of remaining uninhabited during the period when Sri Lanka was under foreign domination, the lost rock of Kudumbigala was discovered in 1942 by Upasaka Maithree, who had been a catholic from the town of Negombo and an employee of the Ceylon Railways. He was also an amateur explorer and one day whilst he was sojourning in the East Coast and foraying into the surrounding jungles he stumbled upon the hidden history of the rock. He was so allured by the spiritualistic air that pervaded the placid atmosphere, he experienced a mystic conversion and ten years later returned to the still uninhabited rock to take up abode as Upasaka Maithree. He lived and mediated on this rock and then invited an ordained monk to take up residence with other monks, invitations which were duly accepted. He passed away on this rock in 1971 after expressing a wish that his remains should be kept on display in a rock cave. His wish was honored and his skeleton remained on display behind a glass frame until 1994 when it was vandalized and his bones thrown into the jungle.
Kudumbigala, along with its sister rock Balumgala, is part of the Kudumbigala Tapas Vanaya, a 640 acre area under the Chief Monk Ven Palawatte Buddhawansa Thero. Today there are about 15 monks who have chosen out of their own free will to dwell in this wilderness in pursuit of that eternal goal. They live a solitary existence and have their own individualistic way of attaining it. No rudimentary or regimented codes exist to govern their routine or their conduct. No external authority is imposed upon their lifestyle, no Big Brother watches to monitor their progress. Here the individual is totally responsible for himself and has the unbridled freedom to forge his own future.
A small hall next to the stupa serves as a dining area and as a place where Dhamma sermons are preached to the laity when the occasion so demands. But this, too, is limited for there is a general reluctance on the part of these taciturn monks to preach, on the basis that one must first attain higher states of wisdom before one can teach anything meaningful.
This hall is the only meeting place for the monks but even here in this dining hall many don't eat but serve themselves from the pots on display and retire to their kutis to partake their food. They will consume any food that is available in the pots which are offered by the villagers and other donors and do not discriminate between the food offered; their purpose is solely to nourish the body that contains the mind, not to gain satiation from sense-based gratifications. The mystic lure of Kudumbigala's ascetic way of life will hold one in a seductive spell; and draw one back to hark the call of meditation rock.

Kudumbigala Monastery lies eleven miles from Panama and seventeen miles away from the Kumana Village.
Kudumbigala monastic complex was built in 246 BC, during the time of King Devanampiyatissa. It was first established as a refuge for the Buddhist monks who wanted to get away from the busy Cities. Archaeologists had recovered over 200 rock caves belonging to this forgotten monastery.
The inscriptions in Brahmi script and other evidence in the recently discovered cave, Maha Sudharshana Lena, shows that Kudumbigala was established as an Aranya Senansanaya in the pre-Christian era. A stone inscription has it that the Maha Sudharshana Lena was built and gifted to the Arahats by the Giant Warrior Nandimitra, one of King Dutugemunu's "Dasa Maha Yodayas", the ten giant warriors.
In 1994, terrorists belonging to the LTTE hacked to death 17 innocent civilians in Panama. Kudumbigala had to be abandoned immediately as the Government failed to protect the place. Ethnic cleansing, under the cover of the most effective propaganda machine in the world today, has swallowed one third of the Sri Lankan land and 74% of the Sinhalese Buddhists do not even seem to know that. 5% of the Christian Sinhalese do not even seem to care.
Today, there is no human habitation around this historic Aranya. Kudumbigala stands, towering in silent splendour, a solitary landmark and witness to the untold stories that get written into landscapes, buried, unearthed and erased yet once again. That is the sad tale of the Sinhalese civilization, which unfortunately do not deserve that fate.
The importance of the Kudumbigala monastery cannot be expressed in words. The Only Cylindrical Dagaba to survive in Sri Lanka today, is in this monastery.
LTTE terrorists have thrown tar on the head of the Buddha statue. That was the last warning given to the monks vacate the place.
Story of the Maithree Upasaka : ( Hero of Kudumbigala )
He was a Catholic from Negombo. While working in the Ceylon Railway he discovered the hidden history of the Sinhalese, which changed his life forever. In 1954, he came to Kudumbigala Monastery and cleaned up the place. There he lived, meditated and safeguarded the place for the future generations of Sri Lankans until he died on the 10 th September, 1971. Today, he is regarded as the the hero who protected this historic place, all alone, while most of the country's politicians and officials were sleeping with the enemy.
Until 1994, the remains of the Maithree Upasaka were displayed in a rock cave as he wished.
Then the LTTE terrorists smashed the glass display and threw his remains into the jungle.
We thank the researcher who recovered them from the jungle again.
Humans advanced from the barbarian era to a civilized era. While communities like the Sinhalese Buddhists searched for the truth, fairness, and justice for all, many others, led by those who were after political, business objectives, searched for their own ethnic, religious and social interests. They covered their selfishness, fraud and hypocrisy with hair-splitting arguments, lies, and propaganda.

In 2009, the LTTE Terrorists were defeated after a bitter war which raged for 30 years. The Kudumbigala and all the surrounding area is accessible to civilians now.

There is also another place named "Kudumbigala" near Okanda that I have discussed in my place-names website (dh-web.org/place.names/index.html).
The Okanda-Kudumbigala is a shrine dedicated to Alexander the great,
subsequently deified as Iskander or Skandha, the God of Katharagama.
Cults associated with Valli Amma, Ukantha Malai, Velayudha, Murugan,
Al Khadir (Moslem) etc. also flourish. The Murugan Devala
has a note-worthy entry tower Gopuram. The "Valli-amma" temple is on the "Okanda malai", where "malai" in Tamil, and "malé in Sinhala are other words for "kanda", or hill, or rock.
Murugan (Skandha), Valli and Devani are claimed to have arrived in Lanka using stone boats; landing near Okanda.
Ancient Buddhist meditation caves are found nearby, e,g,, at Kottadamuhela, and in Kudimbigala described in this article by Chula Wicks et al.

Emmanuel Carrère: Un roman russe ( My Life as a Russian Novel: A Memoir)
On 22 October 2018
In France, Russia, The Modern Novel website
The latest addition to my website is Emmanuel Carrère's Un roman russe (My Life as a Russian Novel: A Memoir). Though the English calls it a memoir – and, to a great extent it is – it is written as a novel, called a novel by the author and the publisher and reads as a novel. There are three main themes, apart from the overarching theme of Carrère's own somewhat chaotic life. The first is his journalistic investigation of András Toma, allegedly the last World War II soldier to be repatriated. Toma was held in a mental hospital in Russia for fifty-five years, as he did not speak Russian and no-one in the hospital spoke Hungarian. Carrère and a film crew twice travel to Russia and once to Hungary to investigate. We also learn about Carrère's family, particularly his grandfather who was Georgian and who never fitted in when in France, and his grandmother who was descended from Russian aristocrats. Finally, we follow Carrère's tempestuous love affair with Sophie. All three stories intertwine and Carrère tells his story very well, despite showing himself to be a very flawed character.

When reading through a couple of books by favorite homeschool mentors, one thing that stood out to me is the premise at which they start. Education can mean nearly anything these days. But a true education has to begin on a true foundation. Apparently these two different mentors frequently found that, to some homeschool moms seeking their support, that foundation was a stumbling block.
Begin with something more foundational than the right books.
Reach for something more informing than facts.
Measure something more intrinsic than performance.
Value something more eternal than grades.
If you don't start with the heart, education falls apart.
Man is in such a state that he cannot be saved by perfect obedience — because he cannot render it. Neither can he be saved by imperfect obedience — because God will not accept it.
Education starts with the heart because without a heart change we cannot be educated.


Students, whether seeking a two-year or four-year degree, have increasing resources available through the continuing education department for workforce skill certificates and new programs that fit their interests.
According to Workforce Development and Community Education Executive Dean Judith Dumont, the brewery certification program is an example of a workforce certificate that not only continues to meet an industry demand, but also one that piqued student interests.
"We really become the innovative scouting ground for hot careers," Dumont said.
Dumont and Associate Dean Ryan Ouellette are looking for avenues to hear from students and develop courses and programs to fit their interests.
Students and faculty have a misconception of what continuing education is, Dumont said.
Dumont believes that it's important to consider continuing education as a another resource for students while they pursue degrees rather than as an alternative to credit classes.
As executive dean, she has allocated resources to support this belief.
Ouellette said attaining certification in a field related to a major will increase the chances of working within that given field while still in school.
Dumont said her division is taking a strategic approach, building in short-term programs for certification during less-active academic periods.
The patient care technician program, which qualifies students to be placed in a hospital tending to the daily needs of patients, is an example of what Dumont and Ouellette want to push to students.
The 220-hour program leads to full technician certification.
Partnerships with hospitals such as Baylor Scott & White at White Rock, UT-Southwestern and Methodist Hospital at Oak Cliff gives students closer access to available jobs. Hospitals like Baylor Scott & White also offer full tuition reimbursement for employees.
The program is available through the summer, from June to September.
Javier Granados, the allied health coordinator, recommends the program for students who haven't had hands-on experience but look to pursue a nursing degree.
Dumont and Ouellette look to develop more programs in the fall. Potential programs include certificates for drone operation, green technology and wastewater treatment.
Patient care technicians and other medical assistant jobs are projected to grow by 18 percent over the next decade, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. This demand within the local job market shapes the type of programs that Dumont's division creates.
The highest demand for specific workforce skills, such as mastering Microsoft and Adobe or learning project management and leadership skills, is also taken into consideration.

I have been fortunate to have had two recent meetings with the charming Sian Buley, Auckland Zoo's Pest Control Co-ordinator.
Buley is an English trained biologist who has worked at Jersey Zoo and since coming to New Zealand, in animal and pest management. The Auckland Zoo job combines her field experience and zoo work.
Auckland is known to be one of the most progressive zoos, and one of the few with a full time pest management role. The team also recently employed a second staff member to enable their expertise to have an impact outside the fence, as part of their upcoming 'Urban Ark' project.
On my first zoo visit, I attended an evening meeting with local representatives of pest/ predator-free groups. I met Friends of Oakley Creek founder Wendy John, whose long-running project serves as an inspirational example of what can be achieved in urban restoration by passionate volunteers. Also present was Paul Whitfield who aspires to establish a Pest Free Pt Chevalier . Rachel Fanshawe, coordinator of the newly established Kingsland Eco-neighbourhood, part-funded by the Albert Eden Local Board, and Forest and Bird's Central Auckland branch committee member, Natasha Hamilton, who has keen volunteers wanting to help with native plantings and weeding in the area.
The Kingsland group recently began focussing their efforts on humane backyard rat trapping, and when Rachel described her fear of the large DOC 200 traps, more experienced members of the group had suggestions to assist her. Regular trapping workshops are to be a prominent feature of the zoo's support to community pest control efforts. This meeting was an eye opener for me, and confirmed that my floating the idea of developing an urban sanctuary was not as silly as some might think. It partly becomes a question of linking already existing groups together, and working together using each others strengths.
As I've said before, if Wellington can get co-ordination between local groups, providing safe corridors for native birds, and planting for protection and development of more sustainable ecosystems, so can we.
On my next visit, Sian took me around the Te Wao Nui precinct, dedicated to native species, and pointed out the hillside behind-about 6Ha of native bush. While we often visited the zoo as a family when my two boys were young, and then later with my two granddaughters, I had not visited for some years.
We do have an amazing zoo right at our back door, whose dedicated staff work hard to create realistic habitats for its animals, and protect native wildlife. The zoo's pest management programme concentrates quite intensively on rats. They need to be controlled to very low levels due to predation and disease risk and competition for animal food. Plus, no visitors or locals want to visit their zoo and see rats running around.
However, there are challenges. The zoo is very attractive to rats, as there is plentiful food and shelter to be found, and constant incursions occur via the creek flowing through the grounds, the area's honeycombed volcanic rock, and from surrounding parks and properties.
Paramount to the zoo's pest control is avoiding risks to zoo animals, and ensuring methods are best practice, humane and discrete. The basic control comprises a network of 140 DOC 200 traps, 40 strategically placed A24 traps and targeted use of bait and Victor Pro snap-traps. Many different tools, alongside teamwork and good communication is vital to the integrated and holistic approach of the programme, and new technology and protocols are always incorporated where possible. Careful records are kept, and some 400 rats are killed annually with the help of staff and volunteers.
Some locals have told me it would be impossible to create an urban sanctuary anywhere near the zoo, because predator control would be so difficult. However, the fact that the zoo maintains low numbers of rats on site, and is already starting to help coordinate and support the work of some other groups in the central city, means that actually it has a keyrole to play in helping to achieve such an aspirational goal.
I maintain we can help considerably towards Predator-free NZ 2050, and while I readily acknowledge that urban sanctuaries are much more challenging than the Tiritiri one with which I am familiar, much can be done.
When, or if, the final decision is made to remove the Monterrey Pines next to the zoo, and replant a native forest, I hope a group of volunteers( I will be one), will take up the challenge and completely clear animal predators from the Western Springs area. Natives grow more quickly than many people realise. It would not take too many years to return a tummy tingling dawn chorus to our inner city environment.


We believe you are only as good as the legends that define you, and that this is the place to start building them. A legend can include experiences that are outside the realm of 'possibility' and can include unbelievable or dream-like occurences. Legends may seem unrealistic - even too good to be true.
Every day at Snowwater, three groups of four guests are matched up and privately guided through 150,000 acres of breathtaking terrain. Essentially that equates to volumes of deep powder, uninterrupted fall lines and no competition for fresh tracks!
Our philosophy is to design innovative cuisine that never fails to dazzle even the most sophisticated palate. We have taken great care in our selection of wines and continually strive to add something "new and surprising" to the wine list.
If you love to ski incredible terrain, in small groups, and be pampered before and after, Snowwater is the place! Patric and Maria and their staff are great at fulfilling every want you have, with fun and smiles!
The best snow/terrain with the best people. The two times I have been we're two of the most amazing experiences I have had!
Absolutely the best overall operation I have been to. The staff, and particularly the owners are fantastic. It is a warm and welcoming environment and my experience is by the end of your trip you feel like the staff is family and you have known the other guests, only 12 total at a time, forever.
I can't even put into words how amazing this trip was.
This is one of those experiences which is explainable. You have to be here to appreciate all the Snowwater offers.
21 years of heli and I finally found the best operation in the world. You guys are the best in the industry!!
A silly question we know, but we want you to be the first to hear about what is happening at our exlusive operation. Once in a while we send out updates, news and of course, epic images of deep, light, Snowwater pow!

r.i.p. blank slate (and what does "the environment" mean anyway?)
biology 101, biology and behavior, biology matters, developmental noise, different peoples is different (duh!), epigenetics is not magic, genes and developmental noise, heritability, nature and...we dunno!, the blank slate, the environment, twin studies, variation as a genetic trait, what's this hbd business all about anyway?
so the mother of all meta-analyses of twin studies and the heritability of human traits was published the other day: "Meta-analysis of the heritability of human traits based on fifty years of twin studies" [pdf].
the authors looked at "17,804 traits from 2,748 publications including 14,558,903 partly dependent twin pairs, virtually all published twin studies of complex traits." 14.5+ MILLION twin pairs! as james thompson said, this study pretty much represents "the mother of 'F*** Off' samples." (~_^) in future, if someone says to you that twin studies were debunked a long time ago, blah, blah, blah, just point them to this paper.
and the upshot is: we are not blank slates. we never were.
from the paper, "[A]cross all traits the reported heritability is 49%." in other words, these researchers found that pretty much half of the variance in all sorts of physical and behavioral traits in humans — the differences that we see between people — can be accounted for by genetics.
here's a key table from the paper. i took the liberty of jiggling it around a bit so it would fit better on the blog (h2 is what you should be looking at here — that's narrow sense heritabilty):
the press has picked this up as there being an even split between nature and nurture, genes versus "the environment." here, for example, from the huffington post*:
"Nature Or Nurture? The Long-Running Debate May Finally Be Settled"
"It's an age-old debate: do our genes make us who we are, or is it the environment in which we were raised?
"There's long been agreement that both 'nature' and 'nurture' play some role in determining many aspects of our physical and mental selves, from our height and weight to our intelligence and disposition. But as to which plays the bigger role in shaping us, scientists have never seemed to agree.
"That debate may now be over, thanks to a sweeping analysis of studies conducted around the world for more than five decades. The analysis — involving more than 14.5 million twin pairs from 39 countries — indicates that nature and nurture are virtually tied.
"Across all of our traits, in other words, genes and environment exert equal influence."
yeeeessss…but what is "the environment"? on hearing that most people will think of things like reading bedtime stories to kids or playing mozart to your unborn fetus. but those sorts of things are decidedly not what the environment is in this context. from kevin mitchell of wiring the brain:
A plea to people doing twin studies. Stop using the word "environmental" when you just mean "non-genetic"! https://t.co/Sf6vxTGojY
— Kevin Mitchell (@WiringTheBrain) May 19, 2015
i've blogged this before, but i think we all need to read it again — from steven pinker on "the environment":
"Even the technical sense of 'environment' used in quantitative behavioral genetics is perversely confusing. Now, there is nothing wrong with partitioning phenotypic variance into components that correlate with genetic variation (heritability) and with variation among families ('shared environment'). The problem comes from the so-called 'nonshared' or 'unique environmental influences.' This consists of all the variance that is attributable neither to genetic nor familiar variation. In most studies, it's calculated as 1 – (heritability + shared environment). Practically, you can think of it as the differences between identical twins who grow up in the same home. They share their genes, parents, older and younger siblings, home, school, peers, and neighborhood. So what could make them different? Under the assumption that behavior is a product of genes plus environment, it must be something in the environment of one that is not in the environment of the other.
"But this category really should be called 'miscellaneous/unknown,' because it has nothing necessarily to do with any measurable aspect of the environment, such as one sibling getting the top bunk bed and the other the bottom, or a parent unpredictably favoring one child, or one sibling getting chased by a dog, coming down with a virus, or being favored by a teacher. These influences are purely conjectural, and studies looking for them have failed to find them. The alternative is that this component actually consists of the effects of chance – new mutations, quirky prenatal effects, noise in brain development, and events in life with unpredictable effects.
"Stochastic effects in development are increasingly being recognized by epidemiologists, frustrated by such recalcitrant phenomena such as nonagenarian pack-a-day smokers and identical twins discordant for schizophrenia, homosexuality, and disease outcomes. They are increasingly forced to acknowledge that God plays dice with our traits. Developmental biologists have come to similar conclusions. The bad habit of assuming that anything not classically genetic must be 'environmental' has blinkered behavioral geneticists (and those who interpret their findings) into the fool's errand of looking for environmental effects for what may be randomness in developmental processes."
and more from kevin mitchell:
"Just because some trait is not genetic does not mean it is not innate. If we are talking about how the brain gets wired, any number of prenatal environmental factors are known to have large effects. More interestingly, however, and probably a greater source of variance across the population, is intrinsic developmental variation. Wiring the brain is a highly complex procedure, reliant on cellular processes that are, in engineering terms, inherently 'noisy'. Running the programme from the same starting point (a specific genotype) does not generate exactly the same output (the phenotype) every time. The effects of this noise are readily apparent at the anatomical level, when examining the impact of specific mutations, for example. In many cases, the phenotypic consequences are quite variable between genetically identical organisms, or even on two sides of the same brain. (If you want to see direct evidence of such developmental variation, take a directly face-on photograph of yourself, cut it in half and make mirror-image copies of the left and right sides. You will be amazed how different the two resultant faces are).
"If the way the brain is wired is determined, not just by the starting genotype, but, to a large extent by chance events during development, then it is reasonable to expect this variation to be manifest in many psychological traits. Such traits may thus be far more innate than behavioural genetics studies alone would suggest."
in other words, it's NOT genes + environment (or nature + nurture) — not as most people would think of it anyway. it's genes + shared environment (which, since it's shared, i.e. the same for the individuals in question, oughtn't to make a difference, right?) + nonshared environment (which can include de novo mutations and development noise, which also may be heritable! iow, variation itself might be a genetic trait.). not much room for the effects of nurture here.
so, when you see a figure like 51% for "environmental" causes behind the differences we see in traits between people, remember that that very much includes biological causes like new mutations that are particular to individuals and developmental "noise," which again may ultimately be regulated by genes.
(and, no, it's not epigenetics either! see here and here and here.)
h/t once again to jayman for cluing me in on this in the first place! (^_^)
*to give credit where credit is due, the huff post journalist did mention that part of what's included in "the environment" is measurement error. that is correct. edit: see comment below about measurement error. so the 49% heritabilty figure should be considered a very conservative figure.
p.s. – there's even a dedicated website where you can have a look at all the heritability numbers for yourself. enjoy!
see also: Gone with the Wind from dr. james thompson, Nature, nurture and noise from kevin mitchell, and About Developmental Noise and Environmental Hereditarianism from jayman.

neanderthal personality test
biology 101, biology and behavior, biology matters, genes and personality, neanderthal admixture, neanderthal genes, neanderthals, personality goes a long way, what's this hbd business all about anyway?
have you experienced people telling you that you have very pronounced brow ridges? had your dna genotyped (like by 23andMe, for instance)? then glenn geher and pals at SUNY would like you to take their personality test!:
New Paltz Neandertal Project
We are a research team from the Psychology Department of SUNY New Paltz conducting a research study examining the relationship between genotype and behavior. We are recruiting participants who are at least 18 years old, fluent in English, and who have had their DNA sequenced by a genomics company to complete a short survey (approx. 45 minutes).
the idea is to find out if any particular personality/behavioral traits correlate with neanderthal alleles.
don't be such a knuckle-walker! go on and take the test! it's for science. (^_^)
(note: comments do not require an email. i'm a bit of a neanderthal!)
