Virgin Australia CEO John Borghetti says China is the future for the airline and serving the mainland marks the first step of its global expansion program. (ROY LIU / CHINA DAILY)
If Qantas — Australia's flag carrier — ever fears someone with the tenacity and the resolve to give it a run for its money, it may well be its ex-mailroom boy John Borghetti.
China is Australia's biggest inbound tourism market and it's still growing at double digits, a faster rate than any other global market
John Borghetti, CEO, Virgin Australia
Borghetti was still very much in his teens when Qantas took him on board more than four decades ago to help sort out its mail. He rose through the ranks to be executive general manager by the time he threw in the towel in 2010. It wasn't his swan song though, but a watershed in his 44-year aviation career as he jumped ship to head up a fledgling carrier that was to become Australia's second-largest airline.
Currently chief executive officer of Brisbane-based Virgin Australia Airlines, which took to the skies in 1999 with just two aircraft, Borghetti tells China Daily he's still exhilarated about his job after all these years, with the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong feeding him with much of the stimulus to take up the challenges.
One of his primary goals now is to get Virgin Australia into the Chinese mainland market on the heels of the carrier's inaugural flight to Hong Kong last month.
"To us, China is the future and it's the first step of our global expansion. China is Australia's biggest inbound tourism market and it's still growing at double digits, a faster rate than any other global market. At the same time, the stronger business ties between China and Australia may see more frequent business visits, while the growing number of international students from China also means more family visits. So, it's very important for us to tap the China market."
According to Australia's tourism department, the country hosted nearly 240,000 Hong Kong travelers last year, and raked in more than A$1.2 billion (US$944 million) in tourist spending. One in 12 of the 1.2 million Chinese mainland visitors who travelled to Australia went through Hong Kong last year. Hong Kong tourists ranked Australia as the most desirable destination to visit.
Despite the huge market, existing air services between Australia and Hong Kong have been disproportionate to demand, with only two carriers — Hong Kong's Cathay Pacific Airways and Qantas — running the Melbourne to Hong Kong route.
Virgin Australia, which operated as a low-cost airline in its infancy, has piled pressure on the race as it scrambles for a slice of the region's aviation pie, forcing both Cathay and Qantas to slash their Melbourne to Hong Kong fares by more than 30 percent shortly after Virgin Australia started flights to the SAR.
Virgin Australia now operates five weekly flights between Melbourne and Hong Kong, but Borghetti believes this is awfully inadequate. He projects a four-fold increase, but laments that upping the slots at Hong Kong International Airport is a challenging task.
Strength in alliances
Making itself a force to be reckoned with in the market, Virgin Australia has forged an alliance with three carriers under China's biggest private airline operator HNA Group — Hong Kong Airlines, HK Express and HNA Aviation — to tap into their networks and distribution channels to help passengers reach more destinations on the Chinese mainland using transit services.
In support of the alliance, HNA Group acquired an almost 19-percent stake in Virgin Australia last year. In the next few years, Virgin will continue to take advantage of carriers owned by or affiliated to HNA, including Haikou-based Hainan Airlines, Tianjin Airlines and Kunming-based Lucky Air, to gain access to more mainland cities.
"Our next step is to have more direct flights between Australia and China, but we need to get more slots into Hong Kong from Sydney and Brisbane, as well as other mainland cities, We're working on it now, and I hope we'll be serving the mainland pretty soon," says Borghetti.
Better performance
Qantas — Virgin Australia's arch rival — has been making its own calculations. It has gone into partnership with China Eastern Airlines and resumed flights from Sydney to Beijing — a service that was axed following the 2008 global financial crisis.
Although Virgin Australia reported a fifth consecutive annual loss at Virgin Australia on Thursday, its net loss has narrowed by 15 percent to A$220.3 million in the 2017 fiscal year ended June 30, reflecting some positive results from a restructuring program designed to cut costs and improve cash flow.
"We had a better performance for the last quarter of this financial year than the previous year. We finished the year with a higher cash balance, and a positive cash flow. We've been paying off debts and deleveraging the company. These are very good signs for moving into the future."
Virgin Australia's shares have lost about 17.4 percent so far this year, and are trading near record lows, valuing the company at A$1.57 billion. Qantas, which has posted record profits on a three-year turnaround plan, has seen its shares soar 72 percent to date.
Although its dwindling stock price has irked investors, Virgin Australia was ranked the "best airline with the best airline staff in Australia" according to the Skytrax World Top 100 list.
"We're excited that people in China will soon be able to experience our world-class products and services when flying to Melbourne and beyond," says Borghetti.
From the mailroom to the boardroom
John Borghetti draws immense inspiration from his nearly half a century's association with the aviation business.
He got his first job as a junior mailroom boy at Australian flag carrier Qantas, working all the way up to executive general manager. He resigned in 2010 after being passed over as chief executive of Qantas, and joined key rival Virgin Australia Airlines as chief executive and managing director.
Under Borghetti's leadership, Virgin Australia, for the first time, dethroned Qantas Airways as Australia's best airline in the 2017 Skytrax World Airline Awards.
Borghetti's virtual rags-to-riches story in the corporate scene has stirred curiosity among many over his phenomenal rise. But, the self-made high-flying executive puts it all down to diligence and concentration as the virtues needed for his career's success.
"Work hard and stay focused. Too many young people today are in a hurry. They seek overnight success, but they've gone too fast and ended up nowhere. So, don't think about an extra job, just worry about what you're doing now."
He also sees having a long-term vision, determination and the ability to win over people that will ultimately bring rewards.
"The short-term focus is for managers, and the longer-term focus is for leaders. If you have a long-term vision, being able to see where your business would be headed in 10 or five years' time, your company will be around longer, compared with someone who merely looks at today or tomorrow."
A leader, Borghetti says, should be determined and convinced in what he or she says, and avoid being put off by those laughing at what the leader says. Thus, a leader would not be disrupted by those bent on bringing him down, or force him to change his mind.
Borghetti recalls his rather unpleasant ordeal during his early days at Virgin Australia as he began a campaign to bring monumental changes to the Virgin product. Most people did not buy his idea and heaped scorn on it. But, he kept transforming the company's simple, internet-based business offering cheap fares to a more complex system with different ticket pricings in different markets. As a result, the gap in the market share between the Qantas and Virgin brands has narrowed significantly.
Relationships within and outside the company are vital too, such as the relationship with suppliers, employees and customers.
"I always treat others like individuals and friends, rather than a business transaction. I don't want to deal with a company based on the best prices it offers at the time, and then next year moves to another supplier because their prices are cheaper. We need to create a relationship that's beneficial to both sides."
As busy as he is, Borghetti spends most of his time on customers. He tries talking to 30 to 40 of them each day by email, telephone or in face-to-face encounters to understand their needs.
"The truth is the higher a person is in the leadership position, the more distant he's from the customers, but that's dangerous. So, I force myself to stay connected with my customers. I want to let them feel that when they have a problem, there's someone who can help them. Only by talking directly to them, I can understand what they like and what they don't like."
Very important customers, he says, want to feel they are special, like being able to access senior management whenever they want, says Borghetti, citing a lesson from his family.
"My father used to own a coffee shop. When I was 14 and was helping him out at the shop, he would tell me: 'Look after your customers, and the business will look after itself'. This has left a very deep impression on me. A leader must listen to customers — without them, you don't have business."

Are Goals Necessary to Succeed?
Goals = Guilt
That's the thing: even with goals, some people aren't going to achieve anything, because they haven't figured out how to motivate themselves. Goals don't do that for you — they just make you feel guilty that you haven't gotten them done. – zenhabits
When I first started running, my "goal" was to be healthy.
I was already a 'healthy weight', but I wasn't healthy. I ate junk food and couldn't run a mile without stopping. Just because I had a fast metabolism, didn't mean I was healthy or that I would stay that way forever.
I did not set a weekly mileage goal, time goal, or race goal. I just wanted to be healthy and exercise weekly.
Since I was prioritizing my health, I didn't need to beat myself up for not running a certain time, distance, or quantity. If I skipped a day, no big deal. I'd just run the next day. I was still healthy!
Skipping a run for one day didn't mean I was instantly unhealthy again.
With this mindset of "start running, be healthy", over time I ended up running 5k's, then 10K's, then 15K's, and then Half Marathons. But none of that was a goal in the beginning.
I eventually chose to race to challenge myself. Racing doesn't make me "healthier". I've had fun at every race because I don't set a time-goal. I just tell myself to give it my all. If I don't make a PR but ran the hardest I could that day, how could I feel guilty? And why should I make myself feel guilty after running a half marathon! Why should I feel guilty after doing something a lot of people will never do, can't do.
Just because I was a few seconds slower than I wanted to be is no reason to completely dismiss the accomplishment.
What About Financial Goals?
You can fall into this same trap with financial goals.
Let's say you set a goal to "save $3K in 2 months," but you were only able to save $2K. You become guilty at yourself for not reaching your goal and wonder why you bothered anyway.
However, that goal guilt is keeping you from seeing what you did accomplish.
If, instead of setting a goal, you decided to value having a back-up via an emergency fund, then any money you put into savings would fall into this. Having a thousand dollars less than your goal doesn't eradicate the emergency fund you do have.
These things aren't all or nothing but we tend to see them that way. We feel that if we didn't make our goal then we didn't do anything at all.
I value financial stability, which to me is more than just savings & income goals. If I can't put as much into savings as I normally do this month, that doesn't mean I'm a failure. It doesn't mean all of a sudden I am in debt or financially unstable or I lose all the savings I do have.
Putting less money into savings this month just means some months are different from others and that's life.
Goals Change, Values Remain
If I focus on nothing by my speed and the money I make, I'll never be satisfied or content. The goal will change. I'll always want to run faster and take more to the bank – and I'll drive myself insane somehow finding a way to convince myself that I'm failing. That I can be doing more. – Life Without Pants
I value my health. I value financial stability. It doesn't matter whether I run a half marathon in 2.5 hours or 1.5 hours because at the end, I'm still healthy, and that is what I value. It doesn't matter whether I have $5K or $15K in my bank account, because at the end of the day, I am financially stable and that is what I value.
I did monthly goal posts at one point then realized, that these usually made me feel bad at the end of the month.
If I set a goal to run a marathon next year in less than 3 hours, I will fail. This type of goal has nothing to do with values, but is a challenge that can be affected by physical limitations that are beyond my control. Values, however, are never impossible.
If you value travel/exploration/experiences, sure you can set up a goal to travel to 10 countries a year, but that might not be possible every year. You can still adhere to that value just by traveling to new parts of your state, region, country. You don't need to feel guilty because you couldn't afford to see new countries this year, you still traveled and gained new experiences.
Values do not have limitations, goals do.
Doing What You
Love Value
A goal is a personal challenge and these help to push ourselves beyond our limits, but a goal should not be used as a judgement against ourselves.
You probably are already doing what you value! Not because you "should" but because you actually care about it. You care about your health, your future, your mental well-being.
Eradicate the word "should" from your vocabulary right now. Things we "should" do rarely get done and are only a set-up for causing ourselves to feel guilty later. This is a constant cycle that many of us continue to go through.
Unfortunately, many goal lists are things we "should" do.
The reason many of us fail at our goals is because we are doing something we don't care about.
I know many of you swear by monthly goals. Would you be comfortable living without them?

Using the iPlant Collaborative Discovery Environment
The iPlant Collaborative is an academic consortium whose mission is to develop an informatics and social infrastructure to address the "grand challenges" in plant biology. Its cyberinfrastructure supports the computational needs of the research community and facilitates solving major challenges in plant science. The Discovery Environment provides a powerful and rich graphical interface to the iPlant Collaborative cyberinfrastructure by creating an accessible virtual workbench that enables all levels of expertise, ranging from students to traditional biology researchers and computational experts, to explore, analyze, and share their data. By providing access to iPlant's robust data‐management system and high‐performance computing resources, the Discovery Environment also creates a unified space in which researchers can access scalable tools. Researchers can use available Applications (Apps) to execute analyses on their data, as well as customize or integrate their own tools to better meet the specific needs of their research. These Apps can also be used in workflows that automate more complicated analyses. This module describes how to use the main features of the Discovery Environment, using bioinformatics workflows for high‐throughput sequence data as examples. Curr. Protoc.

Week 1: BPS football notebook
The new digital scoreboard at White Stadium was christened Friday night during Latin Academy's 22-0 victory against East Boston.
Complete with a brand new sound system, the $70,000 scoreboard replaces a decrepit and outdated scoreboard and sound system.
"Last fall we started talking about some things we need to do at the stadium, and one of the things that these guys are always complaining about, the fans and players, is the scoreboard and sound system," said BPS assistant chief operating officer Sam Depina during Friday's game. "It was really bad and poor quality. So we scrounged, we looked at our budget internally, and I said, 'Look, there has to be a way for us to come up with some money to pay for it.'
"So we literally combed through the budget."
It was installed over the summer.
"We got it ready all year and planned it with the city guys, the facilities department did a great job putting it right in time for the game," Depina said. "It's clearer, sounds good, and it's digital, so it has the different team names on the screen so you know what school has what score.
"It's brighter, the flagpole is a lot nicer so you can see it. It just looks a lot better. More modern than anything. The kids deserve it."
The school district is also in the process of replacing the lights at White Stadium after one of them was knocked over by Hurricane Sandy last fall. The lights are projected to be finished by the end of October. Suffolk Construction owner John Fish, who also runs the Boston Scholar Athletes program, is also planning a $45 million makeover for White Stadium.
After his team posted the first 22 points onto the new scoreboard, Latin Academy head coach Rocco Zizza called the scoreboard "pretty" as he ducked his head into the tunnel leading to the White Stadium locker room.
History in the making
Latin Academy's win against East Boston Friday marked the first time the Dragons defeated the Jets in program history, according to Zizza.
Zizza said the school, which was known as Girls' Latin School prior to 1977 when Boston Latin was an all-boys school, only started playing football about 30 years ago. From everyone he's talked to about it, he believes Latin Academy never defeated East Boston, a traditional football power, during that 30-year span.
"East Boston, we know it's a hard team, we haven't beaten them in school history, so it means a lot beating them for the first time in school history," senior quarterback Kyle Dance said.
Riley returns
After missing almost the entire season last year with a torn meniscus, senior wide receiver DeVaughn Riley returned to the Latin Academy lineup Friday.
Riley, who caught four touchdown passes before getting hurt against Burke in the second game of the season last year, picked up right where he left off. He caught a 37-yard TD pass from Dance in the fourth quarter Friday night.
"It felt great," he said. "I missed the game so much."
Cream of the crop
After coming into training camp this summer competing against two fellow seniors for the starting Boston Latin quarterback position, Roy Bahnam got the start in a 34-14 victory against Brookline Saturday afternoon.
Bahnam was 4 of 9 passing for 55 yards. He threw a 2-point conversion to Peter Honzik in the second quarter and a 22-yard TD pass to Mike Parham in the second quarter as well.

Application Visibility and Control: CleanAir at the Application Level
By Jeevan Patil, Cisco Senior Product Line Manager
"The Problem:
There are many challenges IT managers face on a daily basis. As the proliferation of user devices and the growth in business, personal and collaborative applications continue to grow, almost exponentially, these challenges only make the job of an IT manager harder. For instance, imagine what goes through the mind of an IT administrator who is responsible for helping a hospital and medical school get a handle on device and application growth and usage:
- Is a guest or patient downloading movies using Bit-Torrent –in other words, stealing valuable airtime away from my mission-critical applications?
- My network supports a mixed use of guests, employees and vendors/doctors. Without prioritizing applications on the network, employees risk losing productivity and response time to patients, insurance providers, labs. Can I prioritize business-class applications such as Cisco Webex/Jabber and de-prioritize the applications such as Netflix?
- Who are my top 10 users and the top 10 upstream and downstream applications? Can I save a detailed report of all application flows in my network for compliance purposes?
- The number of devices, number of users is exploding, and use of video is growing 50% year over year. Should I add more access points in my auditorium or conference room areas? Or should I upgrade to 802.11ac for more capacity?

Democratic Decision Making
in Early Canada Quebec Act -1774 Constitutional Act – 1791 Act of Union – 1840 British North America Act – 1867 The Constitutional Act, 1791, act of the British parliament creating Upper Canada and Lower Canada. It divided the colony of Quebec into 2 parts. the western with mostly English speaking population which is upper Canada and the eastern with french speaking which is lower Canada. The biggest issue of the act was the creation of clergy reserves. which set aside land for the use of church which most of the reserve land went to catholic or Anglican church. Other group that have their own organization and faith under a single administrative and a group of people who form an ascending chain power/authority were largely ignored.
The constitution Act of 1791 contributed to the development of democracy because it included a major step i today's government because representative governments were chosen for the first time and this includes: fundamental freedom, democratic rights, minority language education rights and many more. It was written by John A MacDonald and other political representative from Ontario, Quebec because Canada was a colony of great Britain, the constitution was passed by the british parliament. This act is important because the powers would be divided among the monarch, the federal parliament and the provincial legislatures.
The British North America Act contributed to the development of democracy because in 1867, Great Britain became a constitutional monarchy. In addition to that, the British North America authorized a parliamentary democracy. The leader was to be called the prime minister and must be an elected member of parliament.
The Quebec Act is one of the most important pieces of legislation ever introduced in Canada and recognized the distinctiveness of French speaking canadians. The appease of the French canadians and the British government pass the Quebec act which recognized a number of religious, and languages rights for the French.
The Quebec act contributed to the development of the democracy because it recognized the French speaking Canadians had less rights. The English speaking protestants, which allowed the first appointed British governor of Quebec ( James Murry ) to stand up o and fight for their rights which now got us to where we are today; civilized and well diverse community with equal rights. Not only that, but it restored the canadian system of civil law. However the Quebec act didn't give people more say in the government, but they still are one of the most important legislative piece of history today! The Union Act was established a single parliament with equal representation, a permanent Civil List, the banishment of the French language from official governmental use and suspension of French Canadian institution relating to education.
The Act of Union was the effort of John Lambton Earl of Durham, reports back and forth on the affairs of British North America. Because of the Act of Union where Upper Canada became Canada East, a responsible governor was monitored that would let people have more of a say in making decisions about their own affairs. Which leads to us today, and our democratic country where we are allowed to have a say in decision making

Pint-sized graduates
Off to Kindergarten
My son Chase recently graduated from Preschool and it was quite a momentous occasion!
For weeks he practiced his lines for the final program and constantly reminded me that he would soon be graduating. His excitement grew contagious and I couldn't wait to see him and his class show off all they had learned throughout the year!
As the graduating class recited poems and sang songs related to each letter of the alphabet, I anxiously awaited the letter 'K'. As Chase approached the microphone and looked out into the crowd, he clearly spoke the words "K is for Kindergarten, we start in the Fall; When we started Preschool, we were very small; We're much bigger now, look how tall; So it's off to Kindergarten in the Fall." In that moment, I was filled with so many emotions... Proud that he had done a great job, surprised at how mature he has become, and sad that my baby is quickly growing up!
The pictures I've shared are those that appeared during the Graduation Ceremony that followed the program. The students wore adorable pink and blue gowns and each received an official diploma. Presenting.... the future Class of 2026.

The radio in my Oakwood coach turns on and off without warning. I don't have control of turning it off or on. And it malfunctions right before it turns off, too. I checked all of the fuses and they're good. But I don't know which goes to what. I can only find one fuse box located inside the glove box. I don't have a manual. So do you know where there might be another fuse box? Do you have any ideas on how I can fix this problem?
Hey there. This sounds like the radio has an internal problem (perhaps heat related). When the radio malfunctions, do other electrical features which are on the same fuse as the radio work properly? If other features on this fuse work correctly, while the radio does not, the problem is internal to your radio, which should be checked out by a radio repair facility. Check your owner's manual to see what else is on the same fuse as the radio.

IntroductionThe purpose of this project is to create real-world rock effects triggered by Rockband Game controllers for exhibition at the Maker Faire. Currently we are focusing on a Ruben's Tube that reacts to the music being played (fire EQ), neon lights triggered by key presses, and perhaps water or wind effects.

If you've never heard of it, a double-blind study conducted by Dr. Masura Emoto seems to prove that intention can affect the development of crystalline structures in ice in a measurable way.
Dr. Emoto had 2,000 subjects in Tokyo focus their thoughts either positively or negatively on water in an electromagnetically shielded room in California and compare the crystals that formed to a control group they'd set aside. Then, those samples were blindly assessed by aesthetic appeal by 100 independent judges.
The conclusion was profound. Positively-'trained' ice crystals formed beautiful, elaborate geometric shapes. Negatively-'trained' ice crystals formed unfamiliar and minimalist shapes.
The effects of the study are profound. The human body is composed of over 60% water; if our thoughts can affect how water develops, how might negative thoughts adversely affect our health?

The IVP Bible Background Commentary : Old Testament
Full Product Description
What might the psalmist have had in mind when praising God for removing our transgressions "as far as the east is from the west" (Ps 103:12)? In an Egyptian hymn to Amun-Re, the deity is praised for his judgment of the guilty. As a result of the god's discernment the guilty are assigned to the east and the righteous to the west.
What is meant by God "weighing the heart" (Prov 21:2)? In Egyptian religious tradition we find the notion of the dead being judged before the gods. As the soul is examined, the dead person's heart is weighed in a scale against a feather symbolizing Truth. If the answers are correct and the heart does not outweigh the feather, the soul may enter the realm of everlasting life.
The narratives, genealogies, laws, poetry, proverbs and prophecies of the Old Testament are deeply rooted in history. Archaeologists, historians and social scientists have greatly advanced our knowledge of the ancient world of the Bible. When we illuminate the stories of Abraham or David, the imagery of the Psalms or Proverbs, or the prophecies of Isaiah or Jeremiah with this backlight of culture and history, these texts spring to new life.
The unique commentary joins The IVP Bible Background Commentary: New Testament in providing historical, social and cultural background for each passage of the Old Testament. From Genesis through Malachi, this single volume gathers and condenses an abundance of specialized knowledge-making it available and accessible to ordinary readers of the Old Testament. Expert scholars John Walton, Victor Matthews and Mark Chavalas have included along with the fruits of their research and collaboration
a glossary of historical terms, ancient peoples, texts and inscriptionsmaps and charts of important historical resourcesexpanded explanations of significant background issuesintroductory essays on each book of the Old Testament
The IVP Bible Background Commentary: Old Testament will enrich your experience of the Old Testament-and your teaching and preaching from Scripture-in a way that no other commentary can do.

Total BS, maybe she did have a bad childhood though...ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMay 31, 2013 at 6:10 PM
Reality slipped in when she said Doctor Hayward then corrects herself and says Admiral Hayward. This woman has spent a lot of time in the care of medical professionals and she's clearly woven a fantasy world with them to help herself deal with the pain she suffered. The fact that Project Camelot would even bother to give her this much attention says to me they are so desperate to believe in something, they will listen to anyone, even when they have no evidence of their claims.ReplyDelete
What's spookiest is that she SOUNDS sane most of the time. Wow.ReplyDelete
what a load of bsReplyDelete
People whom do not have a point of reference of similar experiences or knowledge base as one whom speaks from such a place, see that One, as crazy.ReplyDelete
I've heard Nothing from her that is out side the realm of possibility.
Do I believe every thing she says is factual? Not at all. I believe that SHE believes it though. Let me explain and enlighten.
The word schizophrenia is an Old out dated term and highly inappropriate.
She shows no signs in speech mannerism and body language of things associated with such a word.
I my self have had 2 years of behavioral psychology training. I sought this because of my own child hood and behavior problems which led me to significant life problems.
I know for a fact that my trauma's have made me a sociopath.
I know what to look for in others to tell if they have similar constructs.
She does. Her predatory prolonged maintained Unblinking eye contact which some might deem "creepy" is a part of that tell tale behavior.
She also has D-I-D. As do I.
It used to be called MPD, multiple personality disorder. Now it is Dissociative Identity Disorder.
This is made some what evident by references of her appearing older and more mature in persona when speaking at the conference, and then seeming Much younger in countenance during this interview.
People have an ongoing fixed misinterpretation of how this works.
It Can, but rarely does mean, that one personality can be 100% completely different from others with little or no awareness of the other personalities existence, or shared memories of each others experiences.
It more commonly means a psychological entity or -(construct) More capable of dealing with certain emotional or intellectual situations takes more dominance at a particular given time, but many memories and experiences are actually shared. This is the more common form of D-I-D.
There is also evidence of cluster personality disorders. Simply meaning, she has several persisting psychological disorders, not Just the ones that are clearly evident.
This is Not at all uncommon in those with traumatic childhoods. Torture. repeated mental break downs, etc.
It is fairly clear that she has received some treatment or medical industry psychological influence in her life time and been give tools to help understand and cope with these disorders.
That being said, there is still NO reason that her claims Cannot be true.
Even mentions of Jessie James magnum, or sitting on Mengela's knee.
When dealing with time travel, or dimensional travel, we cannot know what difference's there are between realities.
We cant even know if she is making an 1880s reference to Jessie James, or a modern one based on the Jessie James with his own reality TV show.
It becomes irrelevant and her age or history as we THINK we know it, or are told of it, becomes irrelevant also. You Cannot apply linear logic to multidimensional or time travel. You will understand Why when you learn more about it.
She has touched upon some things that I know to be true.
And she has touched upon a few things that I have like puzzle pieces suspected to be true once put together. This is what I believe attracted the Camelot people to her, as Most people do NOT make these connections.
Lastly, she even put a couple things together for me that I have been missing entirely.
I like the way the Camelot woman tripped her up at the end with the Crowley material.
I like seeing the woman's eyes go down and to the right, as she access's her creative side of the brain and smiles. Not the memory side.
This tells me that there ARE parts of her mentality which are struggling to make sense, and adds things to her story which become real for her.
Thus what she says, she indeed believes, but not every thing she says may lay in factuality.
In the End Here is my personal assessment. (and people whom know me from this site and the old one know I am No slouch.)
Torture is a means to induce mental break down and Create MPD or DID, for which compartmental personalities Can and are conditioned to create persona's with specific behavioral capabilities, which can perform specific tasks. Even with out the other personalities being aware of such entities existing or that they have been programmed. this is rampant in the Illuminati families, and black ops programming agent techniques.Delete
Its been coined as Manchurian candidate programming.
She does have all the knowledge and signs of some one whom was not merely suffering from childhood trauma's but has received Very specific programming.
She shows signs of having become aware. Overcome, and merged several personalities.
To the extent that she has made leaps in breaking away from the previous programming.
A lack of occult experiences and tortures, or at least a lack of memories of them, disturbs me, suggesting she may still have a completely programmed entity or personality within her that she is 100% unawares of, and that she is still carrying out its doctrines and mandates, its prime directives and purposes.
But that is conjecture on my part.
In conclusion...
I believe that she IS a Part of the things she is peaking of. But to what actual extent, whom can really say.
That some, if not Much of what she has said is actually made up, like adding to a fantasy, and thus cannot be taken as fact. But that she is a part of the Rothschild plans, programming and more. That a fair amount of what she says is still factual.
Sadly, I can only conclude this on what Very very little I have seen here.
I base this on my own knowledge's and researches. My own conclusions and leaps and insights shared by a very few whom have made the same on their own. Great minds think alike or fools seldom differ, take your pick.
Weather she has been exposed to some one whom has actually been through all of what she speaks of, and she has adapted it as her own, or weather she is the main candidate of her own stories remains irrelevant to me.
I believe she IS a close part of the things she speaks of. That's eh Is fractured or Schism'ed if you like, from her experiences, and is attempting to make sense of it and fill in the pieces accurate or not.
I believe the Camelot woman feels the same thing, but is suspicious of her role or programming.
The camelot woman Holds a GREAT deal of respect with me.
It is said that a real leader or teacher will help you to open your eyes, but will Not tell you what to see.
And there you have it.
I rarely give my own hypothesis in such detail any more, and I am certainly no great leader or teacher. lol.
Do with it what You will.
- AnonymousJune 1, 2013 at 10:35 AM
Yes, she could be telling the truth, but I will never take a stranger's word...I need proof. I once fell for the lies of disinfo agents Nancy Lieder and Marshal Masters and have since learned my lessons.For me, the fact that she is alive to tell her story and that this video hasn't been taken down is proof that she's full of it. Those who get too close to the truth usually end up dead before they can warn us.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJune 1, 2013 at 3:48 PM
Varakienen, you have lost all credibility saying you believe this woman. You can't believe everything you see. She couldn't answer anything, and could not even give us an exact timeline of her life. The interviewer basically answered this woman's questions for her and the woman would just agree, and say another misleading statement. I would like for you to read a book on body language and re watch the video. If someone has really had a traumatic moment in their life or cares deeply about something being said, you can see it in their brow line. There are many other noticeable features but ill let you research it for yourself.ReplyDeleteReplies
You do a Trolls Job Well. Get an account or have no credibility of your own.Delete
I'm sorry V, I usually nod in agreement with your well thought responses, but at first viewing I'm not impressed by this woman's claims....her body language is off....is time travel and timelines very possible...absolutely...but spilling such beans would be very controlled by THEM (them = Illumanti, Rothchild, Black Ops....select few, chosens, etc in the know)....I think this is to throw everyone off the chase, now do I have a well thought out explanation, I'm afraid I don't except for more conjecture, which is more or less the same forced chicken feed.....exposure and truth will always be very obscure and not well lit....PEACE and Good Higher Vibrations to ALL....ONEReplyDeleteReplies
sorry for what?Delete
I dont disagree.
Well, maybe about your interpretation of body language, but not with the suspicion as a whole.
The Mighty V stands alone against the majority as his credibility takes another hit. Long, drawn-out "speeches" do nothing to help your case and you add no supporting facts to this lunatic woman's story. Keep supporting the Mars Rat V!ReplyDeleteReplies
The Mighty V is mighty for a reason.Delete
Scream the world is Flat all you like, I have Never had a problem with being in the minority and still being Right.
Now... It also seems no one actually understood what I said.
Instead you read what You wanted Into it.
I said, she IS a sociopath whom is making some of the stuff up and adding it to her reality and story as she goes.
Again, this does Not mean that a large portion of her story cannot be true.
The material "I" offered, as evidence is there. sadly, if you wish to recognize it for what it is, you too will have to go to college for a few years and upgrade you education appropriately. I discussed it in as close to laymen's terms as I could get.
Sorry you did not understand it.
Or, is this a group of trolls supporting one another to lead people away from some evidence?
Either way, its irrelevant. I stand by my assessment until new evidence comes to light which can offer data enough to support a change to it.
In closing, I will end with that which I began...
"People whom do not have a point of reference of similar experiences or knowledge base as one whom speaks from such a place, see that One, as crazy."
They see what they Want to see.
I find No greater sadness than encountering those whom Choose to remain closed minded.
But their problems and mental shortness of sight, or not mine own.
Be well.
I don't know...I stopped watching midway through the video. She just didn't seem credible at all to me. Not in comparison to other videos I've seen where I can tell somebody is for sure about what they've seen and experienced.ReplyDelete
I'm sticking up for Var on this! I like your comment Var on the psychology aspect in her interview with body language etc. Everyone's having a go at Var here, saying how can you believe when there is no evidence to support! Var is right if there is no evidence then you can't dismiss it either. Yes we are swayed 99% not to believe but there is still that 1% that could hold some truth. Give Var a break and see all angles on this issue!ReplyDelete
I also noticed a lot of contradictions in her story and a complete absent of emotion.ReplyDelete
KERRY: "Do you remember interactions with the Catholic Church?"
ERIN: "Yes. I've seen…I've seen ritual sacrifices of children in the Vatican, in the bowels of it. It's vile…the most vile place on earth. It's the most…evilest, darkest…It is evil personified. God is not there. God left the building. God never entered that building and never will. He wants that building gone. He wants all of the popes gone. He is done with the popes. The whole scenario nothing but a sacrificial, ritualistic, evil. I can't even say enough about that place. It is awful. It is the worst place in the world."
later in the intervieuw she says this:
I have no birth certificate and no passport, and has never traveled outside the country.
Mengele died in 1979. she claims she received love till 4 years old but Mengele never left Brazil, did not live in the USA.
Actually i think this woman is all lie and totally confused.
- AnonymousOctober 11, 2013 at 9:55 AM
i have watched this video and there is no doubt this woman is telling the truth in her own mind she has come to believe herself,because over time she has gone over this in her mind countless times that to her it cant be a lie,but to us it is no doubt a lie there is no way she is of Rothschild decent,if she where no way would this video be out there r perhaps this web page that is 1 family that you do not mess with,lets just hope that Iran,, north Korea,cuba continue to resist this family for the good of mankind.ReplyDelete

Craig R. Lang, Certified Hypnotherapist
Wow...Amazing (5 stars)
I cannot begin to express my gratitude for the healing that occurred in my session with Craig. I had developed a mysterious rash on my finger and nothing seemed to be helping it, not a visit to the dermatologist, nothing seemed to be working with curing it...until my healing session with Craig that is! Within a day of seeing him, I could barely see/feel the rash any longer. It was a very powerful experience that I am still amazed by to be honest! Thank you so much, Craig, for sharing this gift you have!
I went to Craig Lang because I was having pain from fibromyalgia. Craig taught me how to compartmentalize the pain and throw it away. Since then, I have had much less pain, and Craig's instruction has made me more mentally prepared in dealing with fibromyalgia. I would recommend Craig Lang to anyone who is dealing with a chronic condition or ongoing stress.
- AF, Freelance Professional, Minneapolis, MN
I highly recommend Craig Lang as a hypnotherapist. After one session, I was a new person, It was unbelievable. Before I left he gave me some thoughts [CL Note: Anchors] to think if the pain returned. Everything has worked perfectly.
- MDS, Golden Valley, MN
I was initially afraid of being hypnotized. Craig assured me that he didn't ask anything that would embarrass or frighten me. He was very calm and set the right atmosphere. I was aware of all my answers and of my entire session work. I highly recommend Craig Lang.
- TK, Golden Valley, MN
Craig is a talented hypnotherapist. He is well trained and knowledgeable in this area. I was pleased with the service he provided me.
- CO, Hypnotherapist, Minneapolis, MN
Craig Lang's skills as a hypnotherapist are extraordinary. His training, experience and engineer's logic are combined with compassion and understanding that come from the heart. Through our work together we minimized or cleared issues of mine. I would certainly work with Craig again, and recommend him to anyone seeking such services.
- KA, Independent Professional, Minneapolis, MN
Craig has also worked with me personally and has been a tremendous help. I have recommended Craig many times where situations warranted. I would recommend Craig to anyone, at any time. An absolute professional, plainly and simply put.
- NR, Wisconsin
I experienced a sense of freedom and safety with Craig as he held a sacred space for me to explore my inner terrain in just the manner I needed for clarity with life direction. I could thereby access information and processes which assisted me in achieving the goals I had set for myself. I highly recommend Craig as an integral and competent hypnotherapist.

Authors: Reeder, Andrew H. (Andrew Horatio), 1807-1864
Date: August 11, 1856
The former governor wrote this letter from Easton, Pennsylvania, to his former secretary and attorney, J. A. Halderman, in order to secure his services in an effort to retrieve some personal papers and settle some matters of business pertaining to town lots and shares. According to Reeder, "the Sheriff posse at the sacking of Lawrence broke open my trunk and stole the contents. The clothing is probably by this time worn out" and he was not concerned about other contents, with the exception of "some private papers" that someone had informed him could be retrieved. He asked Halderman to get the papers, which included "certificates of stock in Leavenworth, Tecumseh, Lecompton, Lawrence, Easton, Pawnee" etc., and then take care of business matters that were reflected therein--"some obligations for money, leases contracts Receipts & etc." Reeder also asked Halderman "to attend to my Leavenworth lots" and went into considerable detail about these matters.

Letter and Bill, S. [Samuel] L. Adair to William Hutchinson

The letter began with several small matters regarding aid for Kansas, and then turned quickly to the most recent events in the struggle between proslavery and free state forces. Apparently, thirty two of the free state prisoners held by U. S. troops at Tecumseh had managed to escape, and Smith rather sarcastically commented that the troops had done a favor to "Uncle Sam" by relieving the government of the cost of supporting all those prisoners. The author also spoke of [Thaddeus] Hyatt's presence in the territory, and of George Washington Brown, editor of the Herald of Freedom. He also informed Higginson that Col. Eldridge and Thomas Eldridge have had complaints filed against them, stating that "nature never designed them for distributions of charity." The letter concludes with information regarding land sales in Leavenworth, and the founding of a new city, Quindaro. In general, Smith's writing style is quite humorous, as well as informative.

Letter, Caleb S. Pratt to My Dear Sir [Rev. T. W. Higginson]
Authors: Pratt, Caleb S.
Date: December 1, 1856
This letter was written by Caleb Pratt from Lawrence, Kansas, to Thomas W. Higginson in Worcester, Massachusetts. He thanked Higginson for the revolvers that he had furnished for Pratt's artillery company; Pratt truly appreciated "the high minded reflecting men of the north." Pratt also spoke of the uneasy peace, stating that the free state population were still prepared to fiercely resist any encroachment on their liberty, although they were at times discouraged and war-weary. He also mentioned the election of President Buchanan less than a month before. Pratt informed Higginson of the escape of the free state prisoners from Tecumseh, although he was sure that Higginson was already aware of the incident. Apparently, Pratt had hoped to help with their escape, but he was too late. Other prisoners had also effected an escape from the Lecompton prison.

Experiences of R. S. Griffithe, N. W. Spicer, and J. A. Harvey
Authors: No authors specified.
Date: December 6, 1856

Ice Skating
(FORTUNE Magazine) – Fake numbers, unholy alliances, and whistle blowers. We're talking about Olympic figure skating, of course. This scandal has everything, including an unsavory antagonist in the guise of a Ukrainian ice-dancing judge. After being caught on tape trying to rig the outcome in Nagano, he resurfaced in Salt Lake City to judge the same competition. We give the guy a perfect 6.0, for audacity.

Marquette Women's Lacrosse Names First Team Captains
Dec. 7, 2012
MILWAUKEE – Marquette University head women's lacrosse coach Meredith Black has announced that Lisa Beltramello, Jenaye Coleman and Emily Donovan will serve as the program's first ever team captains for the 2013 season.
"All three of these ladies are excellent leaders and are perfect choices as our inaugural captains," Black said. "The three of them cover all areas of the field, which is great as we get into our first season of intercollegiate competition. Emily is an attacker, Lisa is a midfielder and Jenaye is a defender. Having leaders in all aspects of the game is going to make us a better team."
Beltramello participated on Marquette's club lacrosse team and served as club president before earning a spot with the Golden Eagles during a try-out last fall. A senior from Suffield, Conn., Beltramello was a four-year letter winner at Suffield High School where she served as a three-year team captain and earned team most valuable player honors her freshman and senior seasons. The midfielder is a double major in education and psychology.
"Lisa Beltramello is a veteran by age and understands the ebbs and flows of a season," Black said. "The fact that she is the oldest player on the team is very helpful to the other players who are mostly freshman and sophomores. Lisa is a natural leader who makes great decisions in everything she does."
Donovan also attended open tryouts in 2011 before receiving a spot on the team at attack. At Ludlowe High School in Fairfield, Conn., the four-year letter winner served as captain her senior year when the team claimed a state title. Donovan majors in advertising and public relations.
"Emily Donovan has the most energy on the team and her enthusiasm for Marquette and our program is contagious," said Black.
Coleman, a redshirt freshman, was part of the program's first recruiting class in 2011 after attending Apple Valley High School in Apple Valley, Minn., where she served as captain and earned three letters. Playing defense, Coleman achieved all-conference and all-state honors and competed in state all-star games as a junior and senior. Coleman is a communications studies major.
"Jenaye Coleman leads by example on and off the field," Black said. "She is dedicated leader who works every day to better her team and her own abilities."
The team will kick off its inaugural season on Feb. 15 at Winthrop in Rock Hill, S.C.

The EPA is actually considering regulating chemicals under the law that was put in place in the 1970′s to regulate chemicals: Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). Most environmental lawyers don't even bother looking at TSCA because they assume that it gives them nothing to work with in terms of actually getting toxic chemicals out of our products and environment. But in speaking to state officials attending the Environmental Council of the States' forum, Jim Jones, EPA's acting assistant administrator for chemical safety and pollution prevention said, "We will try and exercise some muscle we have not exercised for decades."
…In the meantime, meet Joe Chemical in Safer Chemicals Healthy Families' latest ad in Politico for the Safe Chemicals Act, which would inject some steroids into that TSCA muscle so that when the EPA exercises it, it actually does its job.

Topeka The Kansas economy added 5,300 new jobs in November, dropping the unemployment rate to 4.6 percent, the state Department of Labor said Friday.
That's down slightly from a revised 4.7 percent in October and an improvement from a year ago when the November rate was 5.2 percent. During the past year, Kansas has added 25,200 new jobs, with government sectors leading the growth with 10,700.
Officials said November's job growth came from the hiring of 1,100 seasonal workers in the retail trade, transportation and utilities sectors. First-time unemployment claims fell by 1,400 in November to about 10,300 claims.
Labor Secretary Jim Garner said despite fluctuation in hiring patterns, the economy appeared to be growing steadily.
"More importantly, we continue to add jobs in a variety of areas, with a majority of industries showing gains both over the month and over the year," Garner said.
Unemployment rates in all of the state's four metropolitan statistical areas improved in November compared to October and November 2003.
The rate in Wichita, defined as Butler, Harvey and Sedgwick counties, was 5.4 percent in November, down from 5.6 percent in October and 6.7 percent a year ago. A rebound in hiring in manufacturing has helped the economy, though more layoffs in aviation were announced Dec. 9 by Bombardier Aerospace, which plans to cut about 50 jobs at its flight test center.
However, Cessna Aircraft Co. announced plans to expand its operations in Montgomery County, which could add as many as 500 workers at its single-engine aircraft plant in Independence in the next several years. Cessna employs about 600 in Independence.
|Here's a look at area unemployment percentages for November and how they compare to levels in October:¢ Douglas -- 4.3, down from 4.5¢ Franklin --4.4, down from 4.7.¢ Jefferson --4.2, unchanged.¢ Johnson -- 4.0, down from 4.1.¢ Leavenworth -- 6.8, up from 6.4.¢ Osage -- 6.5, down from 7.2.¢ Shawnee -- 5.6, down from 6.1.
The Topeka-Shawnee County rate improved to 5.6 percent in November, down from 6.1 percent in October, but slightly higher than the 5.3 percent a year ago. The Lawrence-Douglas County rate was 4.3 percent, down from 4.5 percent in October and November 2003.
The Kansas portion of the Kansas City metro area, defined as Johnson, Leavenworth, Miami and Wyandotte counties, was 5.1 percent, down from 5.2 percent in October and 5.8 percent in November 2003.

Holiday Fun: Books as Gifts Part 1 Soulless
The book basket!
This is an idea shamelessly taken out of the Romance Community, but it is such a good idea! I can't help myself. I recently parroted on about it on the
SF Signal podcast
and have decided to do a few companion blogs on the subject.
If you have a friend/loved one who is a voracious reader why not consider a signed copy of a book from an author you know they love, accompanied by a basket of items themed to that book? My local indy
has many signed books available. Give them a call or try your own local establishment (like Murder by the Book, Tattered Cover, Powells, Book People, or Mysterious Galaxy). They will usually have authors in town drop by and sign stock.
Anyway, so here's the idea: once you have the book, signed or not, then build a basket of fun around that book.
For example: the Parasol Protectorate books
1. Order signed from
(Definitely get your request in before Dec 15th, that's the last time I'll be able to get in to sign stock for them before the holidays.)
2. Source a vintage looking basket, possibly from the local thrift store
3. Fill with accompanying fun items, many of which might also be found at a thrift store
Soulless Tea Party themed
(can use
Soulless: The Manga Vol. 1
, or the
Parasol Protectorate
boxed set
Alternative book option:
Sorcery & Cecelia or The Enchanted Chocolate Pot
Gail's review
For nesting: Victorian wallpaper style

or vintage table cloth
Crochet gloves with a vintage look
Teacup cocktail napkins
Cup & saucer

Hi Norma,
My sister is married to a descendant of those North Carolina Pettiford's. His branch moved to Tifton, GA while another branch moved to Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

She has posted on the message boards at Ancestry.com and Genealogy.com. Google her name and you'll probably come up with her info.

Story highlights
- "We're still living together," Fedotowsky, 27, says
- "This wedding is even more complicated," she says
- "We are still figuring out our lives as individuals," she says
Ali Fedotowsky is well aware of the fact that it's been more than a year since viewers witnessed her engagement to Roberto Martinez on "The Bachelorette" season 6 finale.
So when is the wedding? Not anytime soon, Fedotowsky tells PEOPLE.
"We're still engaged; we're still living together," Fedotowsky, 27, says. "We just don't feel the need to walk down the aisle right now."
Despite speculation that their union is on the rocks, Fedotowsky says the couple is doing just fine, and that the pressure to set a wedding date following their televised courtship and engagement overwhelmed them. Another complication: difficulty in scheduling a televised wedding.
"When we actually did have a date that worked for us [last August], I found out that I had to have knee surgery," she says. "No wedding is simple but this wedding is even more complicated."
"We didn't meet in the most traditional way," she continues. "We had a very short courtship and we only knew each other nine weeks before we got engaged."
Says Fedotowsky: "We are still figuring out our lives as individuals."
She is currently in talks to do a show with the Style Network, while Martinez is busy establishing his own State Farm insurance office.
"At this point we're not planning a wedding," she says. "Does that mean we're fighting? No. Does that mean we're miserable? Absolutely not!"
"We're happy where we are," says Fedotowsky, who notes that they do intend to walk down the aisle one day. "When we have things figured out, we'll let you know."

After a memorable stay at Au Diable Vert , Max and Fiona travel to Sainte-Anne-de-la-Rochelle to visit some four-legged creatures at les Ânes en culotte. No, we're not talking about fellow canines. This quaint farm is home to a drove of donkeys and vast green pastures—and the latter seemed particularly appealing to our dynamic Shetland duo.
When Max and Fiona first spotted the strange creatures, they were slightly taken a back. The donkeys seemingly appeared out of the blue, and were looking at them like they'd never seen dogs before. In fact, the opposite was true: Max and Fiona had never seen what they'd later learn were donkeys.
It's not that they're particularly fierce but when such a peculiar animal rears its head, you can't help but be taken slightly aback. Not daring to make any sudden movements, Max and Fiona slowly approached the beasts, very carefully on their tippy toes paws. Suddenly, a gent named Gaston starting making a strange noise—heeeeeee-hawwwww—so loudly that both dogs jumped and bolted behind a nearby barn.
Eventually, the pups worked up the courage to watch the donkeys at a distance, and the donkeys did the same. Seeing that the long-eared critters weren't threatening at all—they were very docile, actually!—Max and Fiona were reassured and got closer. It was clear that the young donkeys, called foals, would have loved to play with the pups.
In the end, donkeys are docile and quite lovely. Maybe another play date will be in order soon!

Six Calvin Teams Receive MIAA Team GPA Award
Tuesday, August 14, 2012
The Faculty Athletic Representatives of the MIAA member colleges present the MIAA Team GPA Award every year. This award recognizes conference athletic teams for performance in the classroom of a 3.3 cumulative GPA or better (on a 4.0 scale). During the recently completed 2011-12 school year, six of Calvins athletic teams achieved this distinction.
Five of Calvins womens teams received the MIAA Team GPA Award while the mens cross country team also achieved the feat. Calvins teams receiving the honor are as follows; womens cross country team, womens track and field team, womens basketball team, womens volleyball team, womens tennis team, and mens cross country team.
Under the direction of Brian Diemer, the womens cross country team topped the list of Calvin teams, earning a cumulative grade point average of 3.667. In addition, they are one of only three teams joining the Hope womens cross country team and the Albion womens soccer team as the only teams to receive the award all 14 years it has been presented.
Bret Otte and John Ross had both of their womens teams receive the award for the eighth straight year. Ottes womens track and field team posted an average of 3.561. Rosss womens basketball squad posted a grade point average of 3.519. This was the highest average of any womens basketball team in the MIAA.
