Why was Berta Cáceres assassinated?
A few numbers begin to reveal why Honduran indigenous leader and global movement luminary, Berta Cáceres, was assassinated on March 3, 2016.According to the Council of Popular and Indigenous Organizations of Honduras (COPINH), more than 300 hydroelectric dams are planned for Honduras, of which 49 are on COPINH lands. Eight hundred seventy-two contracts have been handed out to corporations for mining alone, with many others created for mega-tourism, wind energy, and logging projects. The majority of these are planned for indigenous lands. Of those, all are in violation of International Labor Organization Convention 169, to which Honduras is a signatory, allowing free, prior, and informed consent by indigenous peoples before development may take place in their territories.

Article Title
Document Type
Two pigeons learned to respond to four objects while withholding response to two objects. The birds maintained their numerical discrimination when new objects were introduced. They also maintained the discrimination when large and small objects were used to construct "2" and "4," and when different kinds of objects were mixed to make "2" and "4." The subjects responded most often to four objects when tested with one, two, three, four, and five objects in the generalization test after fourth discrimination task. These results suggest the ability of numerical discrimination in pigeons. Two other birds that were trained to peck two objects but not to peck four objects showed, however, severe difficulty in learning this task. Thus, pigeons ' ability for numerical discrimination is affected by training procedure.

I work at a retirement home and the disrespect that comes from some of those people just because I'm in my 20s is unreal. I get treated like an idiot if I don't fulfill their lengthy and sometimes ridiculous requests perfectly.
I thought the first one was "No sleeping bag threesomes."
I believe it actually means "Mandatory" unicorn to enter.
Apparently I've had this picture on my computer since 2003 just for this moment.
Thought the third one was "no dogs." Silly me.

And later when he sees Superman trying (and failing) to use X-ray vision to peek at them... Man, what a great episode.
My personal favorite arc in that episode is the Flash one. A villain actually helps fix some toys for some kids at his request, after knocking him out cold. When Flash comes to, he's actually surprised and asks the villain if he's booby trapping the toys somehow.
"It's Christmas, Flash" (while looking disapprovingly).
This is why I love the Kents as parents. They were given a abnormal situation (Clark) and came up with unique and creative ways to give their son a normal and loving home.

During his opening "Talking Point Memo" opening monologue on Tuesday, host Bill O'Reilly gave credit where was due in that early on, conservative radio talk show hosts warned Barack Obama would be ill-equipped for the presidency of the United States.
O'Reilly laid where the ideological split existed, but then explained that once you go beyond the personal criticisms of Obama and focus on competency criticisms, those radio talk show host were correct.
"We will begin with this question: Were the conservative radio talk show hosts correct about President Obama from the beginning?" O'Reilly said. "That is the subject of this evening's 'Talking Points Memo.' As you may know, there is bitter divide between committed liberals and staunch conservatives. The debate often gets nasty, personal and even defamatory. The left basically wants a different America — a progressive place where the federal government calls the shot. The right wants to maintain tradition and believes that smaller government is best."
"Enter, perhaps, the most liberal president in history, Barack Obama," he continued. "From the beginning of his pain in 2007, he has been severely criticized on conservative talk radio. No surprise there. The president stands for things the right-wing loathes. Criticism is directed at the president are both personal and professional. The personal stuff doesn't amount to much. He is not a Muslim. He was not born in Kenya. He has never done anything nefarious — word of the day. But the professional criticisms are turning out to be somewhat valid. A new CBS News-New York Times poll, usually very generous to the president, shows his administration has collapsed in the court of public opinion. Independents have joined conservatives in believing the president is not doing a good job. The basic problem is competency. And you may remember that the radio guys pointed out that Barack Obama had little experience running anything — that he was basically a community organizer and theoretician if you examine the facts without emotion, that seems to be accurate. Mr. Obama's management skill and problem-solving ability are dubious."
O'Reilly used Obama's remarks on the campaign trail in 2008 to rebuild the VA, which is embroiled in a waitlist scandal that seems to taking a toll on the president's current polling.
"So what happened to that pledge? Well, the VA is now a scandal. There are allegations that more than 1,000 American vets have actually died because they could not access proper care. The VA admits that more than 120,000 vets waited far too long for doctors so see them. In addition, the feds have paid out $845 million to settle VA malpractice suits. Sen. [Tom] Coburn of Oklahoma, a physician himself has identified $20 billion wasted by the VA. Despite that $111 million given to VA ad in bonus money in 2010 alone — a shocking abuse of taxpayer money."
If you add the VA situation to the other things taxing the Obama White House, O'Reilly said that proves conservative talkers were right in that Obama has underwhelmed as commander-in-chief.
"And while all that was happening, President Obama did nothing, absolutely nothing," he added. "Add that the border, Iraq, Putin, the IRS and you have an administration that's basically missing in action. In fact, for you history buffs what's happening right now is almost identical to President U.S. Grant's second term. It all fell apart for the old general because did he not pay attention. So, to be fair, it looks like the conservative radio talk show hosts were correct in their assessment of Barack Obama's ability to run the country. Or am I wrong?"

The Grate Debate- Charcoal vs. Gas.
A great deal of words… tears… and possibly blood- have spilled, over which makes a better grill. Charcoal or Gas? Both have their advantages and disadvantages, and with today's accessories and techniques both can get the job done! Professional pit masters like to dump on gas grills, but actually 68% of American grill owners use gas. However, there is one major difference. Gas grills deprive you, of the primal thrill of lighting, and playing with fire!
GRILL TIPS-Mistakes-Common mistakes made in the quest for the perfect BBQ!
- You're in too big of hurry and have planned poorly. BBQ takes time and patience!You can't rush it.
- Opening the lid to peak too often. It's hard not to look!
- Trying to do a brisket or spare ribs the first time on your new smoker. The simplest to cook is a whole chicken or a picnic roast.
- Trying to adjust too many things at once. Change one thing, see what happens!
- Inviting the family, the in-laws and the preacher and his wife over the first day you get your new smoker. Practice first so you can "wow them good!"
GRILL TIPS-Grill/BBQ/Smoke
Grilling, BBQ and Smoking. Isn't all the same thing? These three terms are actually quite different.
- Grilling is a high heat cooking method directly over hot coals or live flame, and usually is complete within a matter of minutes.
- BBQ involves a long and slow (and typically indirect heat) meaning the heat source is located away from the food.
- And then there is smoking! This type of cooking is done directly over the heat source, but at a very low temperature. Smoke is used to flavor the food and both the smoke and heat do the cooking. Whichever way you prefer it, enjoy!
GRILL TIPS-Buying a Grill
Are you ready to purchase a grill, but don't know where to start? There's not "one" grill that is best for everyone! Barbecuing is an "interactive sport", and everyone has their own style. (Don't worry if you don't have a style yet)-you'll get the hang of it. Before you buy consider the choices. Gas, charcoal or electric. How important are the optional features? Are you into basic burgers or are you an awesome gourmet griller? Will this grill be an outdoor appliance or will it be the focal point in your outdoor kitchen? Do you cook for just your family or entertain large groups? And of course there's the budget. Still not sure? Stop by, we'll be glad to go over the choices with you and help you find the right grill for you. Visit us in Kimberling City.
GRILL TIPS-Propane
It never fails… the neighbors are gathered in your backyard, awaiting the mouth watering BBQ and it happens! The propane tank is empty! Here's a quick solution to save face with the neighbors. Check the remaining propane by taking a bathroom scale outside and weigh the tank. An empty tank weighs 17-19 pounds. The additional weight is how much propane remains in the tank. Or you could simply stop by and pick up one of our propane gauges that attaches to the tank.
GRILL TIPS-Blueberry Krumble
Blueberry Krumble on the grill! With indirect grilling anything is possible. Indirect grilling is achieved by stacking charcoal on each side of the grill and using a drip pan in the center to create division. Toss a handful of cherry woodchips on each side and bake the blueberry krumble in the center. The fruit flavored wood smoke will bring out the sweetness. Cook until golden brown on top (30-40 minutes). Serve over vanilla ice cream.
GRILL TIPS-3-Zone
It happened again yesterday… a customer expressed frustration in trying to obtain control of a charcoal grill. A classic 3 zone, direct fire will make temperature control a cinch. To set up the grill with 3 heat zones, pile hot charcoal on the far back side, piling it double thick (for furnace blast heat). In the center strip of the grill, a thinner layer. The front strip is a safety zone, without any charcoal. This will give you 3 temperature zones, if something begins to burn you can quickly move it to the safety zone.
GRILL TIPS-Flare Ups
How do I reduce flare-ups on a gas grill? We hear it often. When cooking fatty meats it's easy to reduce flair ups by taking heavy-duty foil, folding it into a double-layered square platform for the meat, to render some of the fat. Place the meat on top of the foil and begin grilling. Placing a weighted meat press on top of the meat will help to flatten the meat, pressing out the excess fat. Once most of the fat has been rendered onto the foil carefully dispose of the foil and excess fat. Continue cooking the meat directly over the heat, continuing to use the weighted meat press.
GRILL TIPS-Fresh Trout
Fresh Trout, wrapped in bacon and smoked over live fire. What could be better after a day on the lake? Grilling fish has never been easier than with a triple fish basket. Begin by spraying the basket with cooking oil. Lodge the 3 fish in the basket and close. The fish will stay secure as you hold the fish over the fire. Using a fish basket allows you to hold the fish over the fire, turning it and moving around the fire as needed. The fish should be ready after 6-7 minutes on each side. This method also works great on an open campfire.
GRILL TIPS-Chicken
Chicken on the Grill, it's a favorite! But how do you grill a large bird without it drying out? Flavor Injector! A flavor injector inserts flavored marinade directly into the meat. Simply load the flavored liquid into the injector, insert into several spots and inject the liquid. Just 7 or 8 squirts within the breast meat and drumsticks will add flavor and keep the bird from drying out.
GRILL TIPS-Fork
One of the biggest mistakes on the grill? Turning steaks or burgers with a grill fork. Poking a hole into the steak actually drains the juices onto the coals, creating flair ups and drying out the meat. But… don't toss that grill fork! It's great for sliding between the grates and lifting up food when it sticks to the grate.
GRILL TIPS-Tools
Sometimes it's the simple things that make the biggest difference. Cooking on the grill is an "interactive sport". It's not like popping bread into the oven and waiting for the timer to ding. And as with any "sport" it requires the proper equipment. But this doesn't have to be complicated. A few simple tools can make your grilling experience a good one. Brushes & scrubbers will keep your grill clean and ready to use each time. From drip pans, gloves, baskets, spray bottles and misters, meat thermometers, to chimney starters, all will help you grill like a pro. For a full selection of grilling accessories and tools visit us in Kimberling City.
GRILL TIPS-Plank
Plank cooking. The process of cooking on cut wood, just as the Native Americans did. Planks are available in many flavors; alder, apple, cherry, oak, etc. Plank cooking infuses food with a rich, smoky essence, and this alluring taste is only minutes away. You'll want to start by soaking the plank for at least an hour. Most common is to soak it in water, however, you can also soak the plank in fruit juices, vinegar, wine and other alcohols. After soaking the plank, season it on the grill by placing it cooking side down on the grill for 5 minutes. Flip the plank and lightly cover the plank with olive oil. Now just lay a bed of fresh herbs, vegetables, fruits, or any type of meat on the plank. Food can be served while on the plank for a mouth- watering presentation. Check out our planks and cookbooks in the store today.
GRILL TIPS-Lump Charcoal
Everyone's buzzing about natural lump charcoal. Briquettes are a thing of the past. The Difference? Lump charcoal lights faster, burns hotter and leaves little to no ash- all without that petroleum taste! Petroleum? That's right, Petroleum. Some brands of charcoal contain coal dust, furniture trimmings, borax, and petroleum binders. Stop in for natural lump charcoal for your next cookout.
GRILL TIPS-Misting
Always use an oil mister/sprayer before grilling to help coat your grids. Should you have cast iron, stainless, or porcelain coated grids, misting will prevent your food from sticking. Wait for the food to gently lift off the cooking grids before flipping; your food will let you know when it's ready to be turned over.

athinalev23 JUN, 2015yolks are good for you!!
athinalev23 JUN, 2015I substituted onions for the shallots, Also, I chopped both the chard leaves and stems in food processor-adding them all at once with the sauteed onions. I also added chopped fresh herbs from the garden-oregano, and thyme. One more change- I didnt have gruyere, so I used mostly parmigiano reggiano, and a little bit of sharp cheddar on top. Cook times were accurate-texture is rich and decadent.A great way to use up my farm fresh eggs, and garden chard. Delicious!Reply

In a way, they are evocative of the early 20th Century architecture seen in New York City in landmarks such as the Empire State and Chrysler buildings. Everything from the exterior to the elevator doors, radiator covers, and stairwells are reminiscent of that beautiful aesthetic and monumental moment in time.

Photo Keepsake Testimonials
Hear what our customers have to say:
"...My father watches his video every single day! You did such a wonderful job. My whole family is impressed. This video means a lot to me..."
"...Thank you for the great job you did on the video. The quality was great. It brought tears of joy..."
"...My husband loved his video! We've watched it at least a dozen times. Two of my friends even wrote me notes expressing how much they were touched. I've given your name to everyone I know!..."
Wrapping it up!
THREE EASY STEPS: How to organize a Photo Video for production
First make the tough decision -- which photos to choose and which to lose. We suggest you make a "YES" pile and a "NO" pile, putting all the photos that you may want to use in the "YES" pile and all the rest in the "NO" pile. WARNING: This step is way too much fun, so don't get caught looking at each photo for more then a moment! Try to zero in on the photos that will tell your family's story the best.
Gather all of your YES photos together. We suggest you put them in chronological order. Start with the early photos and work your way forward to the present day. You may have some photos or groups of photos that will work better in their own little chronological sequences; such as, career, job or business photos, house photos, lake home photos, vacations, grand-kids, etc. You can even accent these by using a special music theme for each group and perhaps even giving each group its own title; for instance, you could place the title "Our Babies" before the grandchildren group.
Number your photos on the back with either a pencil or stickers (post-it notes work well). DO NOT USE a pen as the ink may rub off onto the other photos. This is also the time to start thinking about music and titles. You'll at least want a greeting at the beginning and some closing statement at the end of your video. For example, if you are making an anniversary video, you could simply put "Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad" at the beginning and "With Love, From All Of Us" at the end. Or, if you wish, you can be more personal and creative in your titles. Why not use some poetry or a favorite quotation?

The Internet can be a great job search tool. But with hundreds (if not thousands) of online job boards to choose from, you need to narrow your search to credible websites with high volumes of employment opportunities.
As of June 2011, there were more than 346 million websites on the Internet – if you visited 100 websites a day, it would take nearly 9,500 years to exhaust the content that currently exists online. Although not all of those websites are dedicated to online job boards, your job search can't wait for you to wade through worthless lists of outdated employment opportunities.
Ultimately, your online job search should include niche job boards that specialize in career opportunities within your field or industry. But at the same time, don't discount the value of general job boards and other sites that have proven themselves capable of connecting skilled candidates with solid leads.
Many people consider Careerbuilder to be the leading job board website. Job postings on Careerbuilder are abundant and include positions that have been culled from local sources, increasing the odds that you will be able to find postings in your local community. Many well-known websites (e.g. AOL, MSN, etc.) rely on Careerbuilder to power their job search applications – confirmation that Careerbuilder is a site worthy of your attention.
Indeed is another first-rate resource for jobseekers. Like Careerbuilder, it offers thousands of job postings aggregated from various national and local sources. Indeed also pulls listings directly from company websites, giving job hunters access to up-to-date listings straight from employers.
Monster may be the largest source of job postings on the Internet. Although some jobseekers aren't completely enamored with Monster, there is no disputing the fact that if you're looking for the largest job database on the Internet, Monster is the place to go.
LinkedIn is a social networking site – not on an online job board. But from a career networking perspective, it's hard to beat LinkedIn's ability to forge connections with potential employers. It only takes few minutes to set up a profile that allows you to display your resume and "link up" with contacts. There is even a jobs section where you can search for available positions based on various selection criteria.
Personal Website
Under the right conditions, a personal website can be a personal branding tool, a resource that communicates your unique skills and qualifications to employers. Personal websites are most effective for candidates who need to display portfolios of their work (e.g. photographers, writers, etc.), but the concept can be adapted for nearly any jobseeker, especially if you dress it up with a professional blog or other feature. Here's the catch: if you decide to leverage a personal website in your job search, it has to be high quality since a low quality website can do more harm than good.

Company Updates Shareholders on CBD Initiative
Company Updates Shareholders on CBD Initiative
CAVE CREEK, AZ--(Marketwired - Apr 20, 2016) - Endexx Corporation (OTC PINK: EDXC), a provider of innovative hemp derived phyto-nutrients and nutritional products, today announced the launch of a doctor supervised, adaptive clinical study to test the efficacy of its proprietary CBD capsule in response to patients suffering from neuropathic pain.
Dr. Martin Pressman, DPM in New Haven, Connecticut, Dr. Daniel Brandwein, DPM in Weston, Florida, Dr. Michael Horwitz, DPM and Dr. Daniel Kiddy, DPM, both in St Louis, Missouri will enroll twenty patients into four groups, for a one month study using CBD enriched capsules to evaluate neuropathic pain reduction.
The proprietary formulations are pharmacist formulated and manufactured capsules which include a dual pack as a day and night formula with cannabidiol as its primary active ingredient. Each patient will be taking two capsules a day with results to be monitored. At the end of the study, findings will be subjected to an independent peer review board.
This study is an extension of the work conducted by Dr. Kiddy with his patients and a follow up of Dr. Brandwein's research that demonstrated an average pain reduction after 2 weeks of usage from 7 to 8 down to 3 to 4 on a pain scale of 1 to 10, using 4 to 5 drops of CBD-rich hemp oil twice a day.
Dr. Brandwein stated, "I am very excited about the upcoming new trial where we can follow the information even closer. I also believe that in a capsule form, patients will be more compliant and have better results. In some cases, my patients have decreased and discontinued their usage of Neurontin and Gabapentin."
Todd Davis, CEO of Endexx provided an update to shareholders on its CBD initiative, and commented, "Endexx has defined two key market pathways for its CBD initiative: the consumer market for wellness and nutrition and the therapeutic and nutraceutical markets. Through the consumer market we are targeting the 'Platinum' age 40+ demographic seeking prolonged wellness, improved quality of life and the extension of an active lifestyle. Our phyto-cannabinoids-rich (PCR) products with Cannabidiol from Industrial Hemp have proven to significantly enhance overall wellness and improve physical and mental condition. On the therapeutic side, we have been formulating and testing CBD-infused products with certified compound pharmacists and physicians in a medical environment. Through this collaborative effort we have been able produce high-quality, safe and effective products and delivery formats. Physicians want to provide methods of treatment that support patient compliance and provide a clear beneficial solution for their patients."

Today's post is about when to go full-time in network marketing. In other words, when should you quit your day job or traditional business and just focus on your network marketing business?
As a quick disclaimer, I should tell you upfront that this is a personal decision and everyone's situation is different. What works for one person might not be good advice for someone else. Ultimately, only you can decide what is best for you.
My goal today is to simply give you some tips and things to think about so you can make an informed decision about what is best for you and your family.
Choosing if/when to go full time in your network marketing business is a HUGE decision. Don't take it lightly or rush into it. There are many six figure earners in our industry who still do their day job, because they love what they do for a living and/or they have no desire to go full-time in their business. So, don't feel like there will come a point where you HAVE to go full-time in your MLM Business.
I can't speak for you, but having $1k to $3k per month as a part-time income (with your MLM Business) on TOP of your job income is a great improvement to your quality of life and standard of living. What do you think?
From the people I've interviewed, going full-time in network marketing too soon is a CURSE, not a blessing. It's a common mistake that a lot of "newly successful" distributors make. They get so excited about their MLM Business, and their future, that they don't look at things objectively. They rush into decisions that hurt them later on down the road.
When you go full-time in your network marketing business too early, you put way too much pressure on yourself to perform, financially. Most people think that if they have more time to focus on their network marketing business, their income will grow. That's not necessarily true. Just because you have more time to do something doesn't mean you will be more productive or get better results.
It's how you spend your time that matters most.
There's actually a beauty in doing this business part-time. For one thing, it forces you to work smart. You have to be disciplined with your time. You have to balance your job, family, hobbies and business all at once.
Another great thing about working your business part-time is your story. When you can tell someone you make $20k to $50k a year part-time, that is a much better story than making that same income full-time.
Also, I had a mentor tell me once that earning $24k per year in network marketing part-time is better than making $100k per year full-time. I have to agree, especially when you break it down into an hourly wage.
Many top earners are working 80 to 100 hours per week just to maintain their business. If you broke that down into how much they made per hour, you would see that working the business part-time would have been a much better option (earnings per hour).
In my own opinion, I think it's best to go full time in network marketing when your monthly earnings with your MLM Business (net) are at least three to four times your monthly living expenses AND you have at least six months worth of income in savings. By following this approach, you give yourself a good safety net in case anything goes wrong.
If you're not sure what to do, here are some questions you need to ask yourself, before you make the decision to go full-time in network marketing:
- Am I good at managing my time?
- How many hours per week would I work my business if I go full-time?
- What activities would I do on a daily basis to build my business full-time?
- Would I enjoy working the business full-time?
- Do I have six months worth of income in savings?
- Is my monthly MLM Income at least 3-4 times more than my monthly living expenses?
- Have I invested enough money for the future?
- How does my spouse or partner feel about this?
- What does my successful upline recommend?
These questions are a good starting point to help you make the best decision for you and your family.
Another thing I highly suggest is that you sit down and talk to 3-4 full-time network marketers. Explain your situation and ask them what they recommend. Ask them when they went full time in the business. Ask them what mistakes they made and what they would do differently if they had to do it all over again. Ask them any pointers they can give you about when is the best time to go full-time. This advice will be invaluable.
The bottom line is that most people go full time in network marketing way to soon. As a smart entrepreneur, you need to put some serious thought into the decision to go full-time. While the idea of being full time in your network marketing business might excite you right now, it could turn out to be a catastrophe if you aren't mentally and financially prepared.
As a final note, I must also mention this. If you are brand new to the industry and expect your MLM Business to provide a full-time income from day one, you are in for a big surprise. Most businesses typically take two to five years to provide a full-time income, if not longer. The best advice I can give you is to get a job to keep the financial pressure off your back, and build your MLM Business part-time at night and on weekends.
What are your thoughts? When do you think someone should go full-time in network marketing? Leave a comment below to let me know what you think. I look forward to hearing from you. Have a great day.

Fungal Infections
Onychomycosis pronounced – on-i-ko-mi-KO-sis – is the term for a fungus that attacks the finger and/or toe nails. It is a disease found so frequently that it is considered the most common of this type of infections. Both toe nails and fingernails can be infected with the fungus, but toe nails are more frequently infected and the more difficult to treat. There are four types of the fungus depending on which part, sequence of infection and causative agent of the fungus.
Many times a fungus infection will be passed and the unlucky recipient will not even realize it until symptoms appear. Th read more...

An Interview with Conchita (Part 2)
Harry Daley first heard about Garabandal about 1970 and he saw a film about it. He first met Conchita in June 1972 and she agreed to do a documentary about the events for him. The documentary film they made in May 1973 was shown on television and in theatres around the world. It prompted the BBC to also complete a documentary about the Garabandal events.
Here are the questions and answers from the documentary that Harry made with a few later added comments as recorded in Harry's book, Miracle at Garabandal.
Question This is fascinating. On the day of the miracle the sick will be cured; Joe Lomangino will recover his sight; the boy from your town will be cured of his paralysis; there will be a permanent sign that everyone will be able to see, photograph and televise, but no one will be able to feel with their hands; Father Luis will be taken out of his grave incorrupt. Then all we have left is to know the date?
Conchita Yes.
Q When is the date?
Conchita Eight days before I will tell you.
Q Is it getting near?
Conchita Yes, we have less time to wait than we had two years ago.
Q There is something else that interests me. And that is the warning that will occur before the miracle. Sometimes when you mention the warning you say that it was like a starburst?
Conchita That was an example.
Q What will occur on the day of the warning?
Conchita The most important thing about that day is that everyone in the whole world will see a sign, a grace, or a punishment within themselves - in other words, a warning. They will find themselves all alone in the world, no matter where they are at that time. Alone with their consciences right before God. They will then see all their sins and what their sins have caused. (Added comment): Remember that aviso really means something different from warning. It is more like preparation or notice.
Q Let me see if I understand this correctly. One of these days I am going to feel the warning. No matter where I am, I am going to feel it?
Conchita Anywhere you are.
Q If I am in the house or in the street or if I am in Russia or in Puerto Rico, or Santo Domingo, or Cuba, no matter where I am, I will feel this warning?
Conchita You will feel it.
Q Who will feel this warning? Catholics, Protestants, Communists, Jews?
Conchita Everyone who lives in the world.
Q Will we all feel it at the same time?
Conchita Yes, at the same time.
Q So everyone will feel it on the same day and at the same hour. How long will it last?
Conchita I don't know how long it will last. However, everyone is going to feel it differently.
Q Will it last a half hour? Will it last an hour?
Conchita I really don't know. I think that five minutes would be an adequate time.
Q How will we feel?
Conchita We will all feel differently because it will depend on our consciences. The warning will be very personal. Therefore, we will all react differently to it. Because we will feel something, but the most important thing will be to recognize our own sins, and the bad consequences of them, so you will have a different view of the warning, because your sins are different from mine.
Q This is amazing. One day I will be alone in the world with nothing around me except God and my sins?
Conchita Yes.
Q Will something happen to me because of my sins? I mean, will physical harm come upon me as a result of my sins?
Conchita No, unless it is something that results from the shock, as, for example, a heart attack.
Q Nothing like fire or pain?
Conchita No.
Q No physical harm then. So it will consist of facing God alone with my sins. How about the good things? Will I see them also?
Conchita No. This will be only a warning to see what you have done with your sins. It will be like a purification before the miracle to see if with this warning and the miracle we will be converted.
Q This will happen before the miracle?
Conchita Yes, before the miracle.
Q So this can occur any day now?
Conchita Yes, but I don't know the date when it will occur.
Q But it will occur before the miracle. Here we have a picture of Pope Paul VI with Father Andreu. Who is with this priest?
Conchita This is Jacinta.
Photo: Conchita with one of her young ewes during the time of the apparitions in 1961-1962.
Q So this is Jacinta with the priest. I would like to ask you something about the investigation made by the priests and bishops. I understand several commissions investigated the apparitions of Garabandal?
Conchita Yes, there were several commissions and we had all kinds of tests including psychiatric tests done on us. I was even taken to the city of Santander to see if I was hypnotized or insane. They took all kinds of tests.
Q Do you remember something about those tests or about the interrogations with the priests and bishops? Do you remember something that they said to you or did to you?
Conchita Something that they said to me or something that they did to me?
Q Either.
Conchita During the apparitions they used to pinch us, put matches close to our eyes to see if we would blink. Also, they would wave paper before our eyes and hold matches against our legs to see if we would jump. But we never felt anything. When the apparition was over, we would see marks of fingernails on our bodies from the pinching. But they really never mistreated us.
Q I remember you had very long braids. What happened to them?
Conchita When I went to the city of Santander the commission told me that the braids caused the other children to be hypnotized. So they cut them off.
Q I understand that there have been several bishops in Santander since the apparitions. How many have there been?
Conchita About five.
Q Did you ever talk to the bishops? If so, what did they say?
Conchita They did not believe in the apparitions.
Q Do you remember any conversations with them?
Conchita I remember the first bishop told me to stay in Santander and never to return to my town. He said he would pay for my schooling and that way I wouldn't hear anything more about the apparitions. He felt that if I stayed in Santander nobody would see the Virgin. But I didn't stay. (Added comment): The present bishop, however, is more open-minded.
Q Did anybody ever mistreat you?
Conchita No, no one.
Q Here is a picture of you, Conchita, when you were just a child, twelve years old. They are pinching you. So when they pinched you in these tests that you went through, you never felt anything until later?
Conchita No, never.
Q Did you ever have any doubts about the apparitions?
Conchita Yes, in 1967, some time after the apparitions had taken place, I did have doubts.
Q What happened then?
Conchita All of a sudden on August 15 something happened that I will never forget. There were a lot of people around me and I was overwhelmed with the feeling that I was not honest. I felt I was deceiving all those people and that I ought to confess it. So I went to a priest and told him I hadn't seen the Virgin and that I wanted to tell the bishops it was like an illusion or a dream or like living a lie. After confessing to the priest, I left for the town of Pamplona because I was studying there. The bishop came and asked me to tell him everything. I told him I had never seen the Virgin and that I had been deceiving everybody all the time. And that I wanted to confess to him and tell him everything so he could tell it to everybody else. These doubts and denials of the Virgin's apparitions lasted five or six days. Since then, up to this time, I have a confusion and doubt within me. I am waiting for the miracle to confirm whether this is true or not.
Q So you are waiting for the miracle?
Conchita Yes, to see if I have seen the Virgin or not. But I am sure she told me the date of the miracle as well as what the miracle would be.
Q Do I understand you right that, besides the miracle and the warning, there will also be a punishment?
Conchita The Virgin said that, if we didn't convert with the warning and the miracle, then there will be a punishment. This however is not absolute.
Q So the punishment will occur or not occur depending on our conversion?
Conchita Yes.
Q Both the warning and the miracle are just aids to help us fulfill the message? The message is the main thing in the apparitions. Now you have told us the message she gave on October 18, 1961. However, there is a more complete message given on a later date. This message was given on June 18,1965.
Conchita That's right.
Q Do you remember that message? Could you tell us about it?
Conchita Yes, certainly. The angel said, "Because the message of October 18, 1961, hasn't been fulfilled and the world doesn't know about it, I tell you this is the last one. I said before the cup was filling up. Now it is overflowing. Many priests, bishops and cardinals are on the road to perdition and are taking many souls with them. Each day we give the Eucharist less and less importance. We should use all our efforts to avoid God's wrath. If you sincerely ask for pardon, He will forgive you. Your Mother, through the mediation of St. Michael, the angel, asks you to correct your ways. You are now receiving the last warnings. Think of the passion of Jesus."
Q This is the message that you wrote by hand when you were a girl. How old were you then?
Conchita That was in 1965.1 was about fifteen years old.
Photo: Conchita with visitors to Garabandal.
Q Fifteen years old. In this last message the Virgin insists once more on the importance of the Eucharist. The apparitions of Garabandal focus great attention on the Eucharist?
Conchita Yes, she used to insist that we should visit the Blessed Sacrament frequently.
Q She said that each day we give less and less importance to the Eucharist?
Conchita Yes, you are right.
Q This was said in 1965?
Conchita Yes, in 1965.
Q She also talks about the priests and the bishops going on the road to destruction:
Conchita I think that each day she would mention the priests and that we should pray for them. We never understood why. For us, priests were like saints, because we never had many priests coming to our village. It was considered a great privilege whenever one came.
Q She also talked to you about the bishops?
Conchita Yes, she talked about priests, bishops and cardinals.
Q What did you think about the bishops and cardinals being on the road to perdition since you were girls from such a small village?
Conchita We thought it was very strange, but we would repeat it as she said it.
Q The message was then the important thing. It was the reason why the Virgin came to Garabandal?
Conchita Yes, it was the reason why she came to Garabandal.
Q After all these apparitions, you must be trying to live the message wherever you are. What have you done or what have you tried to do to try to live the message?
Conchita What would give the Virgin great happiness is a very difficult thing for me. That is to live each moment of the day doing everything for God.
Q To live each day thinking of God and offering everything that He sends us. Conchita, do you think that you and I are living the message?
Conchita I think I am, but you have to answer for yourself.
Q You are working as a nurse. Do you fulfill the message there?
Conchita I try to.
Q How do you try?
Conchita During my work to the best of my abilities. I treat the patients the way I should.
Q How about a housewife with three or four children who is busy all day? Do you think she can fulfill the message?
Conchita Surely, accordingly to the perfection in which she can accomplish her duties, offering God all her actions.
Q Offering God all the little things she deos during the day? So it is not what you do, but how you do it?
Conchita How you do it, that is true.
Q A person working in an office can also fulfill the message?
Conchita You can fulfill the message anywhere. You can always be good and praise God...

Mike Marqusee: Let's Talk Utopia
This is an extract from 'Let's Talk Utopia' by Mike Marqusee, one of a collection of essays in Utopia, edited by Ross Bradshaw (Five Leaves Publications, Nottingham, UK, 2012)
For those interested in the "Another World is Possible" essay competition, this extract is offered not as an example of the style or content they should follow – those are matters for entrants to the competition to decide for themselves. Instead, it may provide ideas, inspiration and a refreshing alternative to routine patterns of thought.
We've been taught to fear utopian thinking, which is denounced as not only impractical but positively dangerous: the province of fanatics. In ignoring the lessons of history and the realities of human nature, utopian idealism results, inevitably, we are told, in dystopian outcomes. It's a modern version of the myth of Pandora's box: a warning against being too enquiring, too ambitious.
Fear of utopia, a mighty weapon in the arsenal of the ruling powers, has a long pedigree. The "failure" of every social experiment, from the French Revolution onward, is seized on as evidence of the perils of utopian thinking. Increasingly, we have been told that a utopian denial of realities lurks in even the most modest demands for regulation and redistribution.
While there are dangers in utopian thinking, the much greater danger is its absence. The reality is that we don't "talk utopia" nearly enough.
We need the attraction of a possible future as well as a revulsion at the actual present. If people are to make the sacrifices required by any struggle for social justice, then they need a bold and compelling idea of the world they're fighting for.
Utopian thinking is more than just model building: it is a critical tool, a means of interrogating present conditions. We have to exercise that supremely political faculty, the imagination, if we are not to be prisoners of a prevailing consensus.
Utopias provide a perspective from which the assumed limitations of the present can be scrutinised, from which familiar social arrangements are exposed as unjust, irrational or superfluous. Without utopias we enjoy only a restricted view of our own nature and capacities. We cannot know who we are.
We need utopian thinking if we are to engage successfully in the critical battle over what is or is not possible, if we are to challenge what are presented as immutable "economic realities". Without a clear alternative — the outlines of a just and sustainable society — we are forced to accept our opponent's parameters. We cede the definition of the possible to those with a vested interest in closing the aperture into a better future. The neo-liberal slogan There is No Alternative had to be answered by Another World is Possible, but we need to know and say much more about this other world.
Utopia is the good society, not the perfect society. A perfect society would be a static entity. Our utopia is one that is evolving, revising its goals and policies as circumstances change. It's an open, not a closed, system. A utopia without dissent and argument is a nightmare. I don't want to belong to a community of interminable sweetness and harmony.
Our utopia must imagine a new, humbler relationship between humans and their environment. The techno-utopias of the past with their dreams of total human mastery over nature now feel distinctly dystopic. On the other hand, the idea of an endlessly renewable energy source, a staple of science fiction, has moved from idle fantasy to urgent necessity. The climate change crisis is a good example of utopian thinking proving more realistic than its ostensibly pragmatic opponents. In the light of imminent catastrophe, utopia becomes common sense.
It is the anti-utopians who are guilty of arrogance and presumption in dismissing systematic alternatives as contrary to human nature (or economic "laws"). The utopians are more historically grounded. They know that capitalism had a beginning and will have an end. In contrast, neo-liberals practise the pejorative form of utopianism: imposing an abstract blueprint on the human species (and the planet), subordinating diverse human needs to the single compulsion of private profit. We are encouraged to entertain limitless, if narrowly defined, aspirations for ourselves as individuals, but our aspirations for our society are strictly ring-fenced. While it is held to be fatal to ignore economic realities, ecological realities can be indefinitely deferred. The anti-utopians who insist There is No Alternative end up denying the rest of us workable solutions to urgent problems.
The poets and prophets of the past gave us visions of a golden age of abundance, where the curse of labour had been lifted, where vines were laden with lustrous grapes, figs were like emeralds and streams gushed fresh water. Somehow, we need to find our own symbols of shared, sustainable abundance in a world starkly divided into rich and poor.
