NASA reports the longest lunar eclipse of the century will happen FRIDAY 7-27-2018 transforming the moon into a reddish-orange ball for more than 100 minutes.
Unfortunately, it won't be visible in North America.
The path of this eclipse will be visible in parts of the Middle East, Africa and some parts of Asia and India.

To get an idea of this eclipse, it's supposed to be similar than the one that appeared in January 31st 2018.

Many people who lived in ancient times seized on anything that would bring them hope and comfort to improve their well being in the treacherous world that existed. Religions were created and supplied a deity or group of deities that would have the power to change the world and the life of an individual if he or she prayed to the god and showed devotion.
Church leaders who promoted the religious stories and myths now had the power themselves to dictate the behaviour of their flock.
With Crownology, the human science, only facts are relied on with regard to the existence of the human race. There are no gods or other deities, or spirits to worship.
Discoveries in science bring greater knowledge of our universe and only through the work of scientists can we discover why we are here and how we got here.
While we are here, Crownology is an opportunity for every thinking being to exist whilst following certain behavioural relations with each other.

CARE..........................Show that you care about others and pursue acts that benefit people where possible.
RESEARCH...................Always be interested in scientific research and the discoveries that have had or can have an affect on our lives.
OFFER..........................Offer help and guidance to others when required. The desire to help is the important factor here, even though the act may not be achievable.
WHY............................Always use your ability to think and examine the facts. Question established views. Ask why and demand evidence.
NEW...........................Be particularly interested an any new developments with regard to space exploration and have an open mind to the possibilities of the existence of extra terrestrial life.
CROWN--OLOGY.
If you accept the above, you can live in the world of Crownology and become a member of Crownforce. The world where worship is not required and intelligent thinking exists to help each other gain knowledge.
We have all seen how un predicted events can change the world. Covid pandemic, wars in other countries. They suddenly occur and lives dramatically disrupted. Can you imagine if we were suddenly confronted with alien visitors? Ignore the possibility or be prepared. Crownforce will expect this event and through unity, we can deal with the situation.
Alien intelligence will be aware of our communications and look for people who they consider to have the ability to think and examine the signs left by extra terrestrials who visited civilisations in ancient times. Religions and cults were a distraction and followed by those who did not search for the truth and desired simple answers to life.

What would our DNA look like if we didn’t have a 24-hour day?

JOIN THE MOVEMENT TO STOP THIS INVISIBLE KILLER!

Dihydrogen monoxide (DHMO) is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and kills uncounted thousands of people every year.
Most of these deaths are caused by accidental inhalation of DHMO, but its dangers do not end there.

Prolonged exposure to its solid form causes severe tissue damage.

Symptoms of DHMO ingestion can include excessive sweating and urination, and possibly a bloated feeling, nausea, vomiting and body electrolyte imbalance.
For the DHMO dependent, withdrawal means certain death.

DHMO :

*is also known as hydroxyl acid, and is the major component of acid rain.

*produces more "greenhouse effect" than CO2.

*may cause severe burns.

*contributes to the erosion of our natural landscape.

*accelerates corrosion and rusting of many metals.

*may cause electrical failures and decreased effectiveness of automobile brakes.

*has been found in excised tumors of terminal cancer patients.

CONTAMINATION IS REACHING EPIDEMIC PROPORTIONS!

Quantities of DHMO have been found in almost every stream, lake, and reservoir in America today.
But the pollution is global, and the contaminant has even been found in Antarctic ice.
DHMO has caused millions of dollars of property damage in the midwest, and more recently in California.

DESPITE THE DANGER, DHMO IS OFTEN USED:

*as an industrial solvent and coolant.

*in nuclear power plants.

*in the production of styrofoam.

*as a fire retardant.

*in the distribution of pesticides; even after washing, produce remains contaminated by this chemical.

*as an additive in many "junk-foods" and other food products.

Companies dump waste DHMO into rivers and the ocean and nothing can be done to stop them because this practice remains legal.
The impact on wildlife is extreme.
We cannot and must not ignore it any longer!

THE HORROR MUST BE STOPPED!

The American government has refused to ban the production, distribution, or use of this damaging chemical due to its "importance to the economic health of the nation."

The navy and other military organizations are conducting experiments with DHMO and designing multi-billion dollar devices to control and utilize it during warfare situations.
Hundreds of military research facilities receive tons of it through a highly sophisticated underground distribution network.
Large quantities are stored for future use.

STOP THE INSANITY...IT'S NOT TOO LATE!

Over the years I've seen the comments. I've seen the articles. It's a subject I've avoided because I don't want to get sucked into the whole topic of what has all my life seemed to be an innocuous and normal thing.

This morning it wasn't normal. It was weird!

I was driving into work this morning and holy Batman! but the contrails (or whatever you call them) were all over the sky! Like someone was up there playing tictactoe....all over the place! Okay, I live near an airport, yet only see the occasional jet fly above. The fly zone to PGH In'tl is further south of me. We see more helicopters than jets or planes.

Took me 10 mins to get to work. Was so blown away by the contrails I counted them. 53 and gave up counting as I was running late. That's dozens!

I'm a very proficient googler, but I really just don't want to go there.

Are there things going on in this world that YOU just don't want to know about???

Tor too.

A huge asteroid is expected to fly by earth on Friday 13th April 2029. It will get as close as 19000 miles from earth. It is 340 meters long and last visited earth briefly on 19 June 2004. if this object ever collided with this planet it would be a doomsday scenario.
Future plans are to put craft on asteroids to mine their valuable metals such as gold, silver, zinc, copper. If this could be achieved on the asteroid belt, this would of course be so valuable. Hopefully, the appropriate technology to nudge asteroids away from collision with earth will have been tested.

Since Sunday, the 21-foot tourist submersible named the Titan had gone missing, news sources repeated the same story simply because they had no hard facts. Thursday morning, Debris found 500 meters from the Titanic are believed to be from the missing submersible Titan. The only confirming fact at this point is an implosion failure and all on board have perished.

Who was on board?
HAMISH HARDING
SHAHZADA DAWOOD and his son SULEMAN
PAUL-HENRI NARGEOLET
STOCKTON RUSH

What did they expect to see?
A once-in-a-lifetime close-up viewing experience of the Titanic that went down 100 years ago.

Whats next?
Additional searches to recover the bodies and all parts of the submersible.
Investigations as to how and why this disaster occurred.
Lawsuits upon lawsuits...

UPDATE, MARCH 8, '18 -
Trump to meet with 'Rocket Man'...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
YouTube Boeing YAL-1 Airborne Laser Testbed - Jaglavak Military

This was first flown in '02.
It's since been retired, & ultimately scrapped a few years ago.

That's the official story.

Could the recent series of North Korean missile 'failures' actually be evidence that this technology has been developed, perfected...and deployed?

NOTE - The Airborne Laser engages/destroys it's targets in the boost phase.
And that the portion of their flight during which recent N. Korean missile tests routinely...fail.

Coincidence?

I think flies prefer being outside. When they come inside most of their efforts seem directed towards getting back out again. It is strange how they easily spot an open window on the way in, yet are oblivious to it as a means of exit. It matters little how much one tries to show them the way out, they simply refuse to be assisted. Besides beating themselves against the panes of open windows, flies like to walk round the rims of cups, and the edges of plates, or trample all over bread boards. They seem to know all the places you would least like them to go.

I can only put up with a fly in the room for so long, and when it refuses to leave of its own accord, despite not wanting to be there in the first place, measures must be taken. A swipe from a damp dishcloth at lightning speed would be a quick solution to the problem, you would think. And that is what I always do think, despite knowing from experience that there is no justification for thinking it. I don’t know how many times I have been convinced of a direct hit, and even started searching for the body, only to hear a buzz on the other side of the room where a little black dot is whizzing round the light bulb. While the first strike is always executed with patience and stealth, wild thrashing usually follows.

I am slumped, exhausted and sweating in my chair, watching the little bastard running up the fridge door. Even then, despite overflowing with animosity towards the tiny rascal, I would rather not kill it. Why can’t it just do the decent thing and leave?

While flies make no effort to conceal their presence, spiders, by contrast, prefer to stay out of sight. Usually, I only spot one when I turn on the light and there is a gigantic specimen right in the middle of the wall. Whenever they are confronted they head for the nearest dark crevice, rather than the light. That makes them come across as sinister. Flies annoy me, but spiders worry me. I’m fine with the small ones, it’s the big ones I’m not keen on. While a big spider may only have a body the size of a peanut, it has legs half the length of a cocktail stick, and that is what creates the impression of size.

A completely different approach is needed for dealing with spiders. I keep two empty yogurt cartons at the ready for catching them, one upstairs and one downstairs. My method is to put the yogurt carton over the spider, slide a piece of card underneath it, and then tip the spider out into the garden. The bigger the spider, the more nerve racking I find the operation. The spider will bolt as soon as it sees the carton coming, so speed is of the essence. I do not want to trap its legs, nor do I want my hand to be any closer to it than it has to be, so a certain amount of speed has to be sacrificed in favour of accuracy. It may sound straight forward, but spiders do not go gentle into that good night; they try very hard to avoid it.

If the first attempt at getting the spider into the carton is not successful, its prospects immediately become better than yours. It is very difficult to get a running spider into a yogurt carton, and once it reaches the gap underneath a piece of furniture you may as well just forget it. I don’t suppose it’s such a problem, really. I may not be thrilled about sharing my home with spiders, but as long as I don’t see them it doesn’t really bother me. And if only they were better at catching flies, I would probably encourage them.
