Been and paddled kayak yesterday. Saw a female elk with 2 calves. Totally under impression.

But where is the logic?

I came to this seminar in good time to get a place on the first row, center.

…I always prefer to sit on the best seat be it opera, ballet, Yeti watching or just a domestic dispute…

I made myself comfortable for the next 60 minutes and immediately let deep and sound sleep consume my whole person.

… I never snore – checked against different sources…

So far so good. And my life was indeed heavenly sweet for the first half.

…Säg den lycka som varar…

Then, as usual, some forgetful bum’s phone went all excited somewhere in the bum’s bag’s intestines, which made the lecturer halt his stream of monotonic mumble, which consequently woke me up. My hardened nervous system wouldn’t have any difficulties to swing me back to sleep, but another bum – a very observant one – suddenly asked: “What’s that grey area under the curve?”. And that question put me on the perch straight and alert.

While the lecturer was staring at his graph as if he saw it for the very first time and the merry audience was suggesting solutions borrowed in the number of difference sciences – from landscaping to astrophysics, those oblique rotations in 3D – I recollected

…as a few years ago we used that very screen as a table cloth at a minor celebration when someone in our group published their first article and some clumsy bum spilled a bowl with dressing or the like…

and understood that the mystical “area under the curve” was just an oily spot, that looked grey contraluz.

Ages have passed, but I still consider my greatest contribution to the science that I kept composure until the end of the seminar. Then I went out, hugged a tree and laughed my heart out.

Apparently it's showing up on many sides of the issue. Now reports by a BF of this whack job female Ford, that lots of the important stuff she's been telling the senate and rest of the world, in her harmless, affected, poor me, little girl voice, doesn't go along with how she spoke and acted, when they were an item, some six years ago.

On October 4th, 1957 Russia launched a satellite into Earth's orbit. Named Sputnik, this satellite transmitted beeping radio signals that could be detected on 2 bands of amateur radio equipment 20.005 and 40.002 megahertz frequencies as it traveled around the planet approximately 18,000 miles per hour. Sputnik was a metal ball 23 inches in diameter with antennas sticking out that completed 1440 orbits around the earth. Each orbit was just over 96 minutes.

The batteries lasted for 21 days and Sputnik continued it's decaying orbit around earth until it reentered the atmosphere and burned up on January 4th 1958.

The photo below is a replica of Sputnik that is on display at the National Museum of the United States Air Force, Missile & Space Gallery in Dayton, Ohio.

Sputnik kicked off space exploration that started a rivalry between Russia (the former Soviet Union) and the United States.



Sputnik is the Russian word for satellite.

One of the most interesting stories of the Bible is the story of the Tabernacle. We begin seeing it in the book of Exodus and it keeps popping up in the Old Testament almost to the end. We know it was powered by an energy source which made the face of Moses shine at night. We know that later when accidents happened and people were exposed to the energies contained in the Tabernacle, they burned and died. On one such occasion when the Tabernacle was accidentally cracked and people nearby burned and died a lead candelabra was hammered into the crack and the device became safe again. It can, be presumed the core power source of the Tabernacle device was radioactive.

Back in the 1920s the US Mason brotherhood realized the description of the Tabernacle's construction and it's use were those of a two way voice radio. Adjustment or tuning of the frequency was done by adjustment of the golden curtain threads. Whatever, today we will talk about the garments used by the Levite priests charged with maintaining the device for Moses.

Their garment is called an Ephod. The book of Exodus provides specifics as to the manufacture of the Ephod. Gold is used extensively in the manufacture of an Ephod. Gold is a very efficient shielding against radioactive materials. Today we use lead, but if you have it, Gold is just as good.

You will see below a picture of what we think an Ephod looked like and also a picture of a modern lead apron as used by technicians who work around radio-actives.

Modern technicians working around radioactivity wear devices called dosimeters to measure the amount of radiation they are exposed to. Exodus 28 describes a breast plate of gem stones used by the early Levite priests. Specific gemstones and minerals are described and to be placed in a specific order upon the breast piece.

For the first two thousand years of Christianity an unusual feature of these gem stones was not known.
Specifically, each of the stones reacts in a visually noticeable fashion to the presence of radioactivity. Further the amount of reaction varies as the intensity of the radiation exposure changes.

Exodus 28:17 - 20
And thou shalt set in it settings of stones, even four rows of stones: the first row shall be a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle: this shall be the first row. And the second row shall be an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond. And the third row a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst. And the fourth row a beryl, and an onyx, and a jasper: they shall be set in gold in their inclosings.

Here is some of what we know about some of those stones today and how they behave in the presence of increasing amounts of radioactivity.

Topaz - Turns blue, then brown as the radiation exposure intensifies
Emerald - Turns deep green, but under fast neutron bombardment it turns clear.
Sapphire - Turns gold colored with a significant decrease in electrical resistance.
Diamond - Becomes yellow then green in color.
Agate - Turns magnetic and glows blue in the dark
Beryl - Turns golden yellow.
Onyx - Glows brightly after exposure to strong radiation sources.

There are 12 different gemstones used in a Levite priest's breastplate. I have not googled the effects of radiation on all of them, but from the 7 I name above it is obvious the priest's breastplate made a very simple, yet amazingly accurate and sophisticated multi colored dosimeter capable of revealing with just a quick glance how 'hot' an environment the wearer had been exposed to.. <It is worth noting that Turkish and Brazilian Onyx stones are used today in fashioning some forms of modern high exposure dosimeter devices.>

Knowledge of how the Tabernacle worked, and why the Levite priests dressed as they did and what they did was shared only by a few.

.................. Sad but true.

There was a wicked intense wind storm cross over my province a few days ago. Apparently, this happened.

is a safer place to stand-__ now, that you took away that 0.0001%

The Problem Is Global Industrial Civilization...


Changing Climate Is The SOLUTION.

Passengers are ripped off for $BILLIONS by being told 1/2 the price of a ticket covers the cost of fuel.

THAT'S A LIE!!

Because airliners DO NOT use fuel. They LEVITATE!!
Like bees.
