Chemical Found In Ayahuasca May Be Able To Completely Reverse Diabetes
Diabetes currently affects hundreds of millions of people worldwide. In America alone, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that number to be approximately 20 million. Potential cures and methods to reverse the disease are showing some promising results, and one of them is a chemical that's commonly found in a number of plants around the world. It's also a main ingredient in the psychoactive mixture commonly known as ayahuasca.
Diabetes is an autoimmune disease that prevents a person's pancreas from producing insulin, which is a hormone that enables people to receive energy from their food. This occurs when the body's immune system attacks and destroys the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas, which are called beta cells. Apparently, the cause is not well understood, but scientists believe that genetic and environmental factors play a role. Modern day mainstream science tells us that there are no cures.
Again, types 1 and 2 diabetes affect some 380 million people worldwide. Both ultimately result from a deficiency of functional pancreatic insulin-producing beta cells, which is where this chemical is showing the most promising results.
New research published in the journal Nature Medicine – a study led by researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, funded by JDRF and the National Institutes of Health – found that:
"Using three different mouse and human islet in vivo–based models, we show that harmine is able to induce beta cell proliferation, increase islet mass and improve glycemic control. These observations suggest that harmine analogs may have unique therapeutic promise for human diabetes therapy." (source)
After researchers discovered that harmine could reproduce beta cells in a culture, they then injected human islets into diabetic mice and administered harmine. This then triggered beta cell production. which in turn brought blood glucose levels to normal. Harmine was found to triple the number of beta cells within the mice's pancreas .
The study did a screen of more than 100,000 potential drugs, and out of all of them, harmine was the only one to drive human insulin-producing beta cells to multiply.
"Our results provide a large body of evidence demonstrating that the harmine drug class can make human beta cells proliferate at levels that may be relevant for diabetes treatment. While we still have a lot of work to do in improving the specificity and potency of the harmine and related compounds, we believe these results represent a key step toward more effective future treatment of diabetes." – Senior study author Andrew Stewart, MD, Director of the Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism Institute at the Icahn School of Medicine (source)
Beta cell regeneration is believed to be the answer and ultimate cure for diabetes, but we still have a ways to go. Apparently, the next step for researchers is to develop drug candidates that would only target the beta cells.
There have also been some promising developments comming out of Harvard Stem Cell Institute (HSCI). Researchers there recently discovered how to make large quantities of insulin producing cells. They are claiming that this breakthrough is just as big as the development of antibiotics, which (although successful) have not come without severe and damaging health consequences. The stem cell-derived beta cells are currently undergoing clinical trials in animal models, and researchers there are hoping for clinical trials to begin as soon as possible. You can read more about that here.
Test Subjects Who Reversed Their Diabetes In Just 30 Days
In the film Simply Raw: Reversing Diabetes in 30 Days, six test subjects were used, all of whom had varying lifestyles and conditions but were all diabetic – five type 2, and one type 1. Each subject was taking insulin.
These are real people, and real stories. You can read more about that here.
People everywhere are taking alternate routes to achieve results equal to and sometimes better than what is made available to them through mainstream voices like doctors and government-appointed professionals. I feel it's important that people know their options and have a fair chance of hearing them out. I know many people with diabetes who aren't aware of the power of food in transforming their condition yet are taking insulin and following mainstream ideas as if it's the only truth.
It isn't to say that the mainstream is bad, it's simply that we are missing out on other options in a big way. After all, the American Diabetes Association makes claims about there being no cures, yet the above results would suggest there is more to that story.

Meet The Kenyan Engineer Who Created Gloves That Turn Sign Language Into Audible Speech
In Brief
- The Facts:
Innovator Roy Allela has invented gloves that read the unique hand movements involved in sign language and turn them into audible speech through an Android app. He calls his gloves Sign-IO.
- Reflect On:
We are creating a world where we can all truly communicate, but imagine what our world could be like if inventions like these, and many others, were not limited by costs and start-up processes. Think of what we'd solve if we all worked together.
Imagine a world where communication between everyone is THAT much easier. Well, we're getting closer and closer to that as every year passes by.
25-year-old Kenyan engineer and innovator, Roy Allela, recently helped humanity take another step in this direction. Allela designed new gloves that will improve communication between those who are deaf and those who cannot understand sign language. His new invention is called the 'Sign-IO' gloves, which can translate sign language movements into audible speech.
Allela's gloves contain sensors located on each finger that are able to detect the positioning of each finger, including how much each finger bends into a given position. This is important, as sign language contains many unique movements that require small details to be detected accurately. The gloves connect via Bluetooth to an Android phone, which then uses text-to-speech technology to allow the person witnessing the sign language to understand what is being said through audio.
Roy was inspired to create the gloves because he has a young niece who is deaf. No one in his family including Roy knows sign language, and thus they often struggled to communicate with her.
"My niece wears the gloves, pairs them with her phone or mine, then starts signing. I'm able to understand what she's saying," Allela said.
"People speak at different speeds and it's the same with people who sign: some are really fast, others are slow, so we integrated that into the mobile application so that it's comfortable for anyone to use it," he continued, referring to the creative engineering involved in his project.
Early on, Allela sees his gloves in schools for special needs children throughout his home country of Kenya. From there, he hopes to expand his business and invention to impact as many deaf people and children around the world as possible. As mentioned, the Sign-IO gloves are just one of many innovations furthering the connection of humanity, no matter what unique aspects of life we are experiencing.
Allela's gloves are currently in the prototype phase of development and are not yet available to the public. Regardless, they are creating quite the buzz around the world given what they propose to do. Sign-IO was the 2018 grand winner of the "Hardware Trailblazer Award" at the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) global finals in New York, and also took home a second runner-up acknowledgement at the Royal Academy of Engineering Leaders in Innovation Fellowship in London.
The Takeaway
Imagine the world we could create if we did not have the limitations imposed by businesses, start-up costs, and so forth. There are incredible people out there who are able to do incredible things for the world, and they're finding ways to do so even within a society that limits humanity's potential. If we could bring these amazing minds together and blow off these limitations, then we could truly create a world where communication is not only possible for all, but that would just be the beginning!
As we discussed in our Hidden Energy technologies interview with Susan Manewich on CETV, it's important to note that the suppression of new, life-changing technologies is not just as a result of the elite, it's due to our level of consciousness as well.

CIA Document Claims Cosmonauts Used Telepathy "To Back Up Their Electronic Equipment" In Space
In Brief
- The Facts:
A document found inside the CIA's electronic reading room goes into detail regarding several telepathic experiments performed successful, decades ago by both US and Soviet astronauts.
- Reflect On:
With decades of statistically strong results in the lab and so many real world examples, why is this topic still shunned by mainstream academia? And why is it studied by at the highest levels of government in multiple countries if it's fake?
"The Soviet Union is well aware of the benefits and applications of parapsychology research. In 1963, a Kremilin edict apparently gave top priority to biological research, which in Russia includes parapsychology. The major impetus behind the Soviet drive to harness the possible capabilities of telepathic communication, telekinetics, and bionics is said to come from the Soviet military and the KGB. Today it is reported that the USSR has twenty or more centres for the study of parapsychological phenomena, with an annual budget estimated in 1967 at over 13 million dollars and reported to be as high as 21 million dollars.
Soviet parapsychology research was actually stimulated by the 1960 French story concerning the US atomic submarine Nautilus. The French journalists splashed the now rather infamous Nautilus story in headlines "US Navy Uses ESP on Atomic Sub!" Ship to shore telepathy, according to the French, blipped along nicely even when the Nautilus was far under water. "Is telepathy a new secret weapon? Will ESP be a deciding factor in future warfare?" The speculating French sensationalized, "Has the American military learned the secret of mind power?" In Leningrad the Nautilus reports went off like a depth charge in the mind of L.L Vasilev."
The above information comes from this declassified CIA document.
It goes on to mention that in April of 1960, Dr. Leonid Leonidovich Vasiliev addressed a group of high-ranking soviet scientists stating:
We carried out extensive and until now completely unreported investigations under the Stalin regime. Today the American Navy is testing telepathy on their atomic submarines. Soviet scientists conducted a great many successful telepathy tests over a quarter of a century ago. It's urgent that we throw off our prejudices. We must again plunge into the exploration of this vital field.
As you can see, telepathy and parapsychology, which include remote viewing, ESP and psychokinesis, have all been studied in-depth within black budget special access programs in multiple countries. These programs are often highly classified, and so whatever has been revealed in official documentation is only the tip of the iceberg. Sometimes, the declassification of documents is used to halt more questioning into the phenomenon. The STARGATE program is a great example of that in the United States. Although the documents that were declassified show some startling findings, like the fact that remote viewing is real and that it was used for intelligence collecting purposes, it's safe to assume that many details of this program remain highly classified.
Russel Targ was the co-founder of that program. Here's a video of him sharing everything he knows about ESP.
The crazy thing about parapsychology is the fact that studies have yielded statistically significant results. I'm talking about hundreds if not thousands of studies that have been conducted worldwide have seen positive results.
There seems to be a deep concern that the whole field will be tarnished by studying a phenomenon that is tainted by its association with superstition, spiritualism and magic. Protecting against this possibility sometimes seems more important than encouraging scientific exploration or protecting academic freedom. But this may be changing. —Cassandra Vieten, PhD and President/CEO at the Institute of Noetic Sciences (source)
Many of these results are just as strong, if not stronger, than a lot of the results that come from hard sciences like physics and mechanical engineering. The Department of Defence has openly stated that the phenomena within this realm is real, despite the fact that they are still somewhat inexplicable. As far back as 1999, the head of the statistics department at UC Irvine, Jessica Utts, published a paper showing the results dealing with parapsychology and mind-body connection are a lot stronger than the results used to approve some of our medications!
Again, most of what's known is still protected and locked up by the black budget world.
The documents referenced above are also decades old, so just imagine what's happened or what's been discovered since then!
The documents also outline how these experiments were not limited to earth.
Soviet research into biocommunications phenomena does not appear to be earth-bound and limited to inner space, but apparently extends to outer space as well. The so-called Father of Soviet Rocketry, K.E Tsiolkovsky, stated that:
"In the coming era of space flights, telepathic abilities are necessary. While the space rocket must bring men toward knowledge of the grand secrets in the universe, the study of psychic phenomena can lead us toward knowledge of the mysteries of the human mind. It is precisely the solution of this secret which promises the greatest achievements." (source)
There are reports that the Soviets are training their cosmonauts in telepathy to back-up their electronic equipment while in outer space. One of these back-up schemes is known to involve coded telepathic messages. This method was previously demonstrated in March 1967, when a coded telepathic message was flashed from Moscow to Leningrad. The involvement of astronauts or cosmonauts in telepathy experiments is not necessarily unprecedented. In February 1971, during the Apollo 14 flight to the moon, astronaut Edgar Mitchell made 150 separate attempts to project his thoughts from inside the space capsule back to an individual on earth. The results of the Apollo 14 experiments have been well-documented in detail and are published in the Journal of Parapsychology. source()
Mitchell used 25 numbered cards in the experiment, in which he attempted to send a thought message to four people regarding the symbols on each card. He said two of the four got 51 of the 200 correct, and the other two were less successful. (source)
Dr. Elizabeth Rauscher, a world-renowned physicist, researcher, and presenter who has done a lot of work for NASA, among several other organizations, has admitted that quantum entanglement experiments have also successfully been carried out from Earth to space.
Much Stronger Examples
Some materialistically inclined scientists and philosophers refuse to acknowledge these phenomena because they are not consistent with their exclusive conception of the world. Rejection of post-materialist investigation of nature or refusal to publish strong science findings supporting a post-materialist framework are antithetical to the true spirit of scientific inquiry, which is that empirical data must always be adequately dealt with. Data which do not fit favored theories and beliefs cannot be dismissed a priori. Such dismissal is the realm of ideology, not science. – Dr. Gary Schwartz, Professor of Psychology, Medicine, Neurology, Psychiatry, and Surgery at the University of Arizona (source)
Although the above mentioned phenomena is very intriguing, especially the Soviet part, we have to remember that there is still a lot of information that has not been disclosed yet. This is not really studied openly in mainstream academia yet, it's only really studied at the highest levels of government.
I published a well-sourced article providing multiple examples from a CIA document that confirm the existence of humans with 'special abilities' who are able to do 'impossible' things. You can access that here. It's very interesting and goes to show just how strong results in the field of parapsychology are, and what information may still be kept hidden from us.
Today, hundreds of scientists are coming together to emphasize that physical matter is not our only reality. They've created a manifesto, and you can find links and access more information about this initiative, which started a few years ago, in an article we published here.
There is an entire non-physical world out there for us to study.
"The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence." – Nikola Tesla
The point is that this stuff is very real, and has been studied for a long time.
Here's an interesting quote from the literature regarding remote viewing, one subject within the realm of parapsychology that allows a person to view other people or objects in different locations, regardless of the distance:
Here's a telling quote from some of the declassified literature:
"To summarize, over the years, the back-and-forth criticism of protocols, refinement of methods, and successful replication of this type of remote viewing in independent laboratories has yielded considerable scientific evidence for the reality of the [remote viewing] phenomenon. Adding to the strength of these results was the discovery that a growing number of individuals could be found to demonstrate high-quality remote viewing, often to their own surprise. . . . The development of this capability at SRI has evolved to the point where visiting CIA personnel with no previous exposure to such concepts have performed well under controlled laboratory conditions." (source)
One participant of the program, remote viewer Ingo Swann, was tasked with the job of taking a look at what could be going on off the planet.
Dr. Puthoff explains:
"To determine whether it was necessary to have a 'beacon' individual at the target site, Swann suggested carrying out an experiment to remote view the planet Jupiter before the upcoming NASA Pioneer 10 flyby. In that case, much to his chagrin (and ours) he found a ring around Jupiter, and wondered if perhaps he had remote viewed Saturn by mistake. Our colleagues in astronomy were quite unimpressed as well, until the flyby revealed that an unanticipated ring did in fact exist."
The Takeaway
Why do we still ridicule parapsychology? It's correlated with quantum physics, and it seems to be the next logical step for science. The fact that this type of study is not included within mainstream media is truly a shame, and it's not fair that government agencies are the only ones who seem to be actively and heavily engaged in this type of study.
At the end of they day, no skeptic can deny the reality of parapsychological phenomena.

Three Real-World Examples of Magical Power Far Beyond Anything Scientists Have Ever Seen
In Brief
- The Facts:
Dean Radin, Chief Scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences has published a book titled "Real Magic." In it, he provides multiple examples of people who possessed these. They have existed throughout history, and have always been outlawed.
- Reflect On:
These abilities have been proven to be real in a scientific setting, as well as with real world examples, and many of them at that. Why is non-material science and parapsychology still shunned and ignored by academia when the data speaks for itself?
Is magic real? That depends on how you define it. But yes, I believe 'magic' is definitely real, and I'm not the only one. Cases of 'supernormal' powers and 'magic' of all kinds have been reported throughout history and across almost all cultures–at least until religion was invented and these topics were ushered into the realm of the 'demonic.'
Proponents of what we now call 'magic' include nearly all ancient literature from all parts of the world, from the Vedic texts and the yoga sutras all the way to Moses, Jesus, Milarepa and Mohammed. Donald Lopez Jr., a professor of Buddhist and Tibetan Studies at the University of Michigan, provides a great example in describing the Buddha:
With this enlightenment, he was believed to possess all manner of supernormal powers, including full knowledge of each of his own past lives and those of other beings, the ability to know others' thoughts, the ability to create doubles of himself, the ability to rise into the air and simultaneously shoot fire and water from his body…Although he passed into nirvana at the age of eighty-one, he could have lived "for an aeon or until the end of the aeon" if only he had been asked to do so. (source)
The crazy thing is there are also modern day examples, but they mostly come from the black budget government programs. In 2016, I published a well-sourced article providing multiple examples from a CIA document that confirms the existence of humans with 'special abilities' who are able to do 'impossible' things. You can access that here.
When I am referring to magic, the above examples are really what I am talking about. Parapsychology, the next leap that correlates with and goes beyond quantum physics. It's one of many reasons why hundreds of scientists have told the world that "matter" is not our only reality, and it's why Nikola Tesla once said that, "the day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence."
After decades of conducting psi experiments, publishing many journal articles describing the results, and reviewing thousands of other experiments in my popular books (The Conscious Universe, Entangled Minds, and Supernormal), I've come to accept that psi is a real phenomenon. I base my assessment on the fact that telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition and psycho-kinetic effects have all been independently repeated in laboratories around the world. Effects we see in the lab tend to be rather small because by design they must be demonstrated on demand and under strictly controlled conditions. But the magnitude of an effect is irrelevant if you're interested in whether the effects exist.
After all, a Gallup poll in 2005 showed that nearly 75 percent of Americans believe in at least one "paranormal" phenomenon, like psi, but a mere 0.001 percent of all academic scientists are actively engaged in studying the ontological reality of these experiences. What's wrong with this picture? What's the big deal about psi phenomena? The deal is that we all enjoy fictional tales about magic, but real magic is frightening.
The quote above comes from Dean Radin, Ph.D. and chief scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences, which was founded by the late Apollo 14 astronaut Dr. Edgar Mitchell. He recently published a book titled Real Magic, which was endorsed by multiple Nobel laureates. Again, when we are talking about 'magic' we are talking about psychokinesis, telepathy, distant healing, mind-body connection, remote viewing, etc.
I find it odd how, as Radin points out, approximately 0.001 percent of all academics seem to be involved with these studies. Material science dominates academia, yet non-material science seems to be at the heart of black budget special access programs. What does this 'black budget' world know that we don't? How much have they discovered? How much has been kept classified for 'national security' purposes? Why is this idea still ridiculed in the mainstream when it is a top priority for the most brilliant scientists in the world? What is going on here? And why can't we have complete transparency on the topic? This is why people like Radin and the Institute of Noetic Sciences, the HeartMath Institute, etc. are so important.
Another great quote:
"We knew that the Earth was flat, we knew that we were the centre of the universe, and we knew that a manmade heavier-than-air piece of machinery could not take flight. Through all stages of human history, intellectual authorities have pronounced their supremacy by ridiculing or suppressing elements of reality that simply didn't fit within the framework of accepted knowledge. Are we really any different today? Have we really changed our acceptance towards things that won't fit the frame? Maybe there are concepts of our reality we have yet to understand, and if we open our eyes maybe we will see that something significant has been overlooked." – Terje Toftenes (source)
When it comes to real world examples, there are plenty. I would say there are well over one hundred documented examples to choose from, and a couple are listed above, but I want to present some examples that Radin uses in his book.
St. Joseph of Copertino (pictured above)
Born in Copertino, Italy in 1603, he grew up in a small town and fell ill from an infection which led to gangrene. He was bed ridden for five years, school never suited him, and as he grew he could not hold a job and was fired from many of them. He was a daydreamer in school and couldn't pay attention. During his time in school, he became known as "Boccaperta" (Gaping Mouth) because he would often slip into a trance and seem to be lost, leaving him looking upward with a gaping mouth.
He found his way into the church, a peaceful contemplative life suited him and he was ordained after many failures at the age of 25, Radin explained.
Radin points out how "The Church suited Joseph, but his special talents soon became a problem. Early in his career, if a member of the town displeased him, there were consequences." For example:
A certain Count don Cosimo Pinelli had an ongoing sexual liason with the daughter of Martha Rodia; Joseph said that if the count didn't desist from his amours, he would go blind. This turned out to be what happened, and Joseph bragged about his prediction, but later restored the man's sight, this time getting him to leave the girl alone and pay reparations to the family! Before long nobody in Copertino dared enter the company of the friar unless their conscience was squeaky clean; otherwise they shrank in terror from the gaze of the black-bearded friar. Fortunately, Joseph's tendencies toward becoming Lord Voldermort were suppressed.
Radin goes on to mention how, as he grew older, his abilities became stronger and more difficult to hide. He gained a reputation as a miracle healer and showed characteristics of telepathy, precognition, and power over animals as well as natural forces. He was also known for spontaneously levitating while giving mass. This is one of many examples of such people levitating throughout human history. Copertino apparently did this hundreds of times.
As expected, this became a problem for the church, "because living miracle makers threatened to deflect the public's attention away from Church authority. And that was strictly forbidden."
Church officials kept moving him from town to town and tried to keep him away from from people by prohibiting him from doing priestly duties. The strategy didn't work. Besides, hordes of ordinary people wanting to witness his feats, stories about him began to attract nobles, clergy, and royalty. And that in turn led to unwanted attention from the inquisition. While on trial by the Inquisition of Rome, Joseph was ordered to say Mass in public to see if the rumors about him were true. They were. He lifted off the ground in the presence of the inquisitors.
After this, there was another Inquisition and the church put him on house arrest for the rest of his life.
This is classic, and it's the type of thinking from Church authority that's been present throughout history. Catholic Bishop Alphonsus Cullinan has said he is establishing a "delivery ministry" that will attempt to rid people of the devil and warned that using reiki or other new-age healing methods could make people vulnerable to demonic influence. At the same time, these people seem to be the same group involved in ritualistic abuse, Satanic worship and pedophilia.
Daniel Dunglas Home
Two centuries after St. Joseph, Daniel Dunglas Home was born near Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1883. He was one of eight children of Elizabeth McNeill, a descendant of a Scottish Highland family said to have the gift of "Second sight." Today we'd call that gift clairvoyance, or remote viewing.
Radin mentions how Home's case is interesting because he was actually subjected to scientific testing. Peter Lamont, a University of Edinburgh historian, wrote the biography of Home in 2005. Here's what he had to say about him:
What are we to make of Daniel Dunglas Home? It is true that there were many accusations of fraud, but most of them were entirely without base, and actual evidence for fraud was both rare and inconclusive. He might have been a cheat, but if he was, then he cheated successfully for two decades, before hundreds of witnesses in thousands of seances. Many of the witnesses were hostile to spiritualism, and many remained unconvinced by what they had seen, yet time and time again they admitted that they were unable to explain what had happened.
Sir William Crookes, one of the most prominent chemists and physicists today reported evidence in support of Home's abilities. What's really interesting is that there was a popular group of highly skeptical Dutch rationalists who were openly hostile to this kind of thing. They were part of the Dutch radical School of Modern Protestantism, which renounced all miracles and spiritual concepts. They dismissed Home's claims without even seeing them, as many others did and still do today in regards to other people.
Home made his was to the Netherlands, performing for Queen Sophie in 1858, and a few days later held a seance for the Dutch rationalists. The group included a doctor of philosophy, a physician, a lawyer, an optician, and Dr. Gunst, who described the setup as follows:
(The skeptics) sat round a large mahogany table, which they examined sufficiently to note that the top, column and base were "directly and immovably" fixed together… On top of the table were four (bronze) candelabras, with two more below, which made it possible to obtain an undisturbed view of what was happening under the table.
They placed their fingertips on the table, in view of Home, and he told them that if they wished to remove their hands they could do so. They tested themselves to make sure they weren't being coerced by suggestion, and they were allowed to talk freely among themselves and laugh the whole time, even mockingly. Nobody really expected much to happen, but then:
These expressions stopped soon enough. For as they mocked, "the table started to make a sliding movement," and those towards whom it was moving "were requested to try and stop this movement; this, however, they could not do." When the table stopped, raps began, and when raps were requested "in a certain manner, and as many times as we should indicate, this wish was carried out to the full." As Daniels' skeptical witnesses watched in disbelief, the table "started to rise up on one side… so high that all of us were very much afraid that the candelabras would fall off."
This sparked two more events between the Skeptics group and Home.
According to Dr. Gunst, "nothing could be observed that could give rise to even the slightest suspicion that Mr. Home was acting in a fraudulent manner."
Ted Owens
Ted Owens was born in 1920 and died in 1987. He grew up in Indiana, his grandmother was known for finding lost objects and predicting deaths, and his grandfather was a dowser. His alleged special abilities were affecting the weather and "calling in" UFOs. Jeffrey Mishlove, Ph.D. and clinical psychologist, gave many examples of him in his book called The PK Man: A True Story of Mind Over Matter. Here are some of the statements Owens made:
In the interest of science, I am going to give a demonstration of my psi force abilities to the people who live in the San Francisco area 100 miles in circumference, using San Francisco as the bull's eye of my target. As of today, and daily for the following ninety days, I will telepath to living entities in another dimension for them to appear in the above target area, so that they may be seen by police, scientists or other responsible observers who are qualified to report the sightings, and also for them to cause electromagnetic and magnetic anomalies within the above described area. It is my intent to produce not one, but at least three major UFO sightings, as described above, within the above-named time period… To be reported in the newspapers in order for the experiment to be a valid one.
He also once predicted that the San Fran area would experience power blackouts and multiple UFO sightings over large cities.
His experiment began on November 7, 1976. Two and a half weeks later, things got interesting. There was a massive blackout, as described in a November 27th San Fransisco Examiner story. 100,000 homes lost power due to a big storm and massive winds. It was also thanksgiving weekend, so workers were out of town and it wasn't possible to repair anything.
"Within the ninety-day period: check. In the San Francisco Bay Area: check. Massive blackout: check." – Radin
Mishlove then continues:
On December 3, Owens told me over the phone that one of his predicted UFO sightings was about to occur within the next few days. He made a point of reminding me that the sighting would be seen by many reputable witnesses and even be reported on the front page. The fulfillment of this specific prediction came on December 8, when the best documented UFO sighting ever reported from the Bay Area startled hundreds of onlookers.
The sighting Mishlove is referring to made headlines in the Berkeley Gazette on December 10th of that year. The event was also captured on Channel 9 TV cameras.
"A UFO reported on the front page of a newspaper: check. Many witnesses and a bonus video: check. But what about the prediction of other UFOs and alien life-forms?" -Radin
Mishlove then provides an examination of an apparent abduction report by a local residence. This is not hard to believe given what we now know about abductions. This was reported in the Concord Transcript.
"Aliens: check." -Radin
This is just one example of several bizarre occurrences surrounding Owens, as outlined in Radin's book and documented by Mishlove.
The Takeaway
Parapsychology has gained a lot of popularity, and although the scientific credibility has always been there, more scientists are starting to put their belief systems aside and simply look at the data.
"For many years I have worked with researchers doing very careful work [in parapsychology], including a year that I spent full-time working on a classified project for the United States government, to see if we could use these abilities for intelligence gathering during the Cold War… At the end of that project I wrote a report for Congress, stating what I still think is true. The data in support of precognition and possibly other related phenomena are quite strong statistically, and would be widely accepted if it pertained to something more mundane. Yet, most scientists reject the possible reality of these abilities without ever looking at data! And on the other extreme, there are true believers who base their beliefs solely on anecdotes and personal experience. I have asked debunkers if there is any amount of data that would convince them, and they generally have responded by saying, "probably not." I ask them what original research they have read, and they mostly admit that they haven't read any. Now there is a definition of pseudo-science-basing conclusions on belief rather than data!" – Professor Jessica Utts, Chair of the Statistics Department, UC Irvine (Radin, Real Magic)
These types of abilities are real, and people with them can be found all throughout human history. There are so many stories documented from all around the world, whether they're from centuries ago or present day. The above examples are a few of many, and regardless of how we react to them, the truth remains the same. The only question here is whether or not we are willing to accept it.

Fast-focusing and 4K-shooting, the black Alpha a6300 from Sony is a versatile APS-C-format mirrorless digital camera designed for multimedia image-makers. Revolving around a redeveloped 24.2MP Exmor CMOS sensor and BIONZ X image processor, clean image quality is provided with a wide expandable sensitivity range to ISO 51200, along with accelerated readout speeds for internal 4K30 and Full HD 1080p120 video recording with full pixel readout. Stills shooters also benefit from the apt processing speed, which enables continuous shooting at 11 fps for up to 21 raw frames in a burst, as well as 14-bit raw file output. Complementing both stills and video, the sensor and processor combination also avails 4D FOCUS, which combines a wide-coverage 425-point phase-detection system with a 169-area contrast detection system for quick and precise focusing performance. This focusing system also enables High-density Tracking AF for more efficient and accurate tracking of moving subjects across the image frame. A well-rounded camera for both photographers and videographers, the a6300 is characterized by its speed and further qualified by its refined image and video quality.

TALLAHASSEE Fla. (Reuters) - The Florida state legislature passed a bill on Friday that would allow Major League Baseball teams in the state to seek subsidies for ballpark improvements, but only if MLB changes its hiring rules for Cuban players.
A $13 million economic-development package aimed at encouraging the state's professional sports franchises won approval in the state House of Representatives on the last day of the session.
It allows the Miami Marlins and the Tampa Bay Rays, along with soccer franchises in Orlando and Miami and the Daytona speedway, to compete for up to $2 million a year in sales tax concessions for expansion or renovation of franchises.
The House and Senate added an amendment that would deny funding to baseball teams unless MLB drops a requirement that players from Cuba establish residency in another country before becoming free agents and negotiating with U.S. teams.
Because of longstanding hostile relations between the United States and Cuba including a 52-year-old U.S. trade embargo and Cuban restrictions on professional sports, it is currently impossible for a player living in Cuba to sign with a U.S. team.
As a result, those coming directly from Cuba go into the amateur draft, potentially costing them millions of dollars they might otherwise negotiate as free agents.
The amendment was prompted by the case of Los Angeles Dodgers slugger Yasiel Puig who escaped from Cuba to Mexico, where he was allegedly held hostage by smugglers, according to a Miami court case. Other Cuban players have also told dramatic stories about their risky clandestine departures from Cuba.
MLB said that even if the bill is signed into law by Florida's governor, a change in its policies would probably not be enough to stop human smugglers.
The league questioned whether Cuban players had to "rely on traffickers to defect to countries other than the U.S., such as Mexico or the Dominican Republic, but would not need the assistance of traffickers to reach U.S. soil."

Niacin (Vitamin B-3)
Niacin (vitamin B-3), more commonly known as nicotinamide in the biochemical community, plays an important role in the biosynthesis of pyridine nucleotides. This nitrogen heterocyclic organic compound is combined in vivo with the nucleotide adenosine to form nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD).
View a second image of niacin.
Natural sources of niacin include cheese, beans, milk, meat, poultry, fish, eggs, whole grains, and brewer's yeast. Clinically, niacin helps maintain normal function of the digestive system, helps reduce cholesterol levels, and helps eliminate dizziness and ringing in the ears. Known also as nicotinic acid, 3-carboxypyridine, or 3-pyridinecarboxylic acid, vitamin B-3 features 6 carbons, 5 hydrogens, 1 nitrogen, and 2 oxygen atoms per molecule with a molecular weight of 123.11. Available also as a synthesized white crystalline powder or as white crystals, niacin is slightly soluble in water and has a melting point of 237 degrees Celsius.
As a natural peripheral vasodilator, niacin is used topically and orally to promote hair growth. The United States Food and Drug Administration sets the recommended daily allowance (RDA) for vitamin B-3 as 19 milligrams for men and 15 milligrams for women. In the body, the amino acid tryptophan can be biosynthesized into niacin, making vitamin B-3 one of the non-essential vitamins. Reportedly, niacin is involved in more than 50 different enzymatic reactions, aids in the formation of red blood cells, and is considered essential for healthy skin, tongue, and digestive tract tissues. Many hormones, such as cortisone, the sex hormones, and insulin, depend on niacin for their synthesis.
Absorbed in the small intestine, niacin is excreted in the urine although a small amount may be stored in the liver. Severe deficiency in vitamin B-3 is recognized by the skin disease pellagra as well as diarrhea, lethargy, a sore tongue and mouth, dementia, and depression. Originally observed in cultures whose diets relied heavily on corn (no available niacin), large amounts of dietary tryptophan can overcome a niacin poor diet. Often alcoholics and the elderly suffer from niacin shortfalls as do some patients on an antibiotics regime.

The Dolphin Company
I'm an ex-Adman, used to run agencies in Asia Pacific for BBDO, Ogilvy and Leo Burnett.
Started my own Brand Management Consultancy in Hong Kong with two partners...it helped CEO's develop more creative business strategies using the principles of brand-building learnt from the ad world.
This was acquired by a London consulting firm and I relocated to Vancouver. I continue my brand management consulting practice under the name Dolphin Brand Strategy (or The Dolphin Company).
You can check it out at: http://www.dolphinbrandstrategy.com
The story of the dolphin is in there...but in a nutshell dolphins are inventive, playful, creative masters of their own universe who look to create dramatic change for the good of all...they are communicative, inventive, nurturing...and they can work well alone, in pairs or in collaborative pods depending on the situation.
I'm also a Director in a biofuel company based in Australia...but that's another story.
My small group of clients, prospects and business partners here in Vancouver. Also friends and colleagues around the world.
They mostly professionals, company owners, CEO's, marketing professionals, management consultants...and mostly all human!
1. A Christmas e-card that incorporates the dolphin logo (see attached artwork and business card). This is something that I can make minor copy amendments to and attach a short personalised message to, then send by e-mail.
2. An e-template for monthly 'words of wisdom', again clearly from The Dolphin Company...this would be something I would email to a group of clients and prospects on say a monthly basis...it would just serve as a top-of-mind-reminder and would be something as simple as a quote or a short anecdote that imparts some hopefully useful and relevant information about building a stronger brand.
For example: 'It's not what you put into your communication that's important, it's what people take out".
There would be some recognisable graphic, probably the dolphin in some guise or guises, with sufficient 'white space' to write a short message.
The message could vary in length from a quote to a short anecdote of up to 800 words.

Every program looks for signature wins and Lipscomb second baseman Whit Reed put his autograph on one of the biggest baseball victories for the Bisons in the NCAA era.
Wednesday evening at Vanderbilt University's Hawkins Field the Bisons rallied for an 11-8 victory, their first win over the Commodores of the Southeastern Conference for Lipscomb Coach Wynn Fletcher. It was the first time the Bisons had beaten Vanderbilt in 13 straight games, dating back to 1991. It was also the second win in as many days for the Bisons who beat Austin Peay 9-2 on the road Tuesday night.
"It means a lot to win against Vanderbilt," said Fletcher. "Whatever you can imagine, that is probably what it means."
A three-run double off of the left field wall by Reed with two outs in the top of the ninth sealed the win for the Bisons.
""I was just hoping to put the bat on the ball," said Reed who had been hitless in his previous eight at bats. "I just wanted to do something to try to help us win. I thought the right fielder was going to catch it, but thankfully it found the wall."
The Bisons fell behind 1-0 in the first inning as Pedro Alvarez slammed a solo home run to right field.
In the top of the third the Bisons tied the game at 1-1. With two outs Allen Bolden walked. Tadd Brewer doubled to left field scoring Bolden.
Vanderbilt struck for four runs in the third inning. The Bisons pulled within one run of Vanderbilt with a run in the fourth inning and two in the fifth inning.
In the fourth inning Ryan Mitchell led off with a single to center field and then stole second. With the next two batters making outs, Caleb Joseph singled to left field scoring Mitchell.
With one out in the fifth inning Patrick O'Rourke was hit by a pitch. Bolden followed with a single through the right side. Brewer flied out to center for the second out of the inning. Ryan Mitchell was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Nathan Sensing singled to left field to bring home O'Rourke and Bolden.
Vanderbilt scored three runs in the bottom of the fifth to take an 8-4 advantage.
But the Bisons weren't through. They pulled to within one run of Vanderbilt again with three runs in the eighth inning. Mitchell singled to right field to lead off the inning. Sensing followed with a single up the middle. After Zac Miller struck out Joseph walked to load the bases. Eric Abend walked to send Mitchell across the plate. Reed struck out. O'Rourke singled to right center to bring home Sensing and Joseph.
In the ninth the Bisons put four runs on the board to take their only lead of the game. Brewer opened with a single to left. Mitchell walked. Sensing put down a sacrifice bunt to the pitcher that moved Brewer to third and Mitchell to second. Miller was intentionally walked. He was replaced by Matt Thomas as a pinch-runner. Joseph walked to send Brewer home. With the bases still loaded Reed sent his shot into the wind and off of the left field wall for three runs.
"Our players understand what it means to stay in a game until the last pitch," said Fletcher. "That's what we did in this game. Vanderbilt didn't execute on a couple of opportunities to drive some runs in. They hit into some timely double plays and those are rally hitters. We ended up staying in it and staying in it and got the big hit to clear the bases."
Josh Smith started for the Bisons, allowing five hits and five runs, one earned in 2.2 innings. He struck out two and walked two. Robby Smithson pitched two innings. He gave up two hits and one earned run while walking four and striking out one. Ryan Carroll threw 2.1 innings, scattering four hits and allowing one earned run. Brandon McClurg came on to close down the game shutting down Vanderbilt in the final two innings on two hits, one walk and one strikeout.
McClurg earned the win, raising his record to 4-2. Vanderbilt sent six pitchers to the mound including starter David Price who threw two scoreless and hitless innings. Stephen Shao took the loss for Vanderbilt, evening his record at 2-2.
Vanderbilt out-hit the Bisons 12-to-11. Brewer, Mitchell and Sensing each had two hits for the Bisons.
The Bisons are 21-27 overall. Vanderbilt is 28-21.
"Last weekend we lost two-out-of-three at Florida Atlantic and we played pretty good," said Fletcher. "I can't take that away from my players.
"We've had good pitching lately. We've had decent hitting. Defense has let us down a couple of times, but we turned the double play pretty well against Vanderbilt. Hopefully, we are starting to play our best ball at the end of the year."
The Bisons head to Jacksonville this Saturday and Sunday to face North Florida in a key Atlantic Sun Conference series.

The effort was supposed to have been initiated years ago. The IT exchange program was created by an e-government law four years ago, but no exchanges have occurred to date. There is only one year remaining until the program's congressional authority ends.
Congress adopted the trading idea to enhance the skills of federal IT workers, but the agency charged with regulating the program and reporting results to Congress -- the Office of Personal Management -- neglected to tell Congress that no exchanges have occurred, according to a Government Accountability report released Friday.
The seven participating entities have drafted plans, but only three -- the Commerce, Defense and Homeland Security departments -- have finalized their plans, the report said. Homeland Security, the first to get its plan approved, tried unsuccessfully to negotiate one exchange.
"Agencies will face several challenges in making exchanges, including shortages of employees with key skills and concerns that exchanges could hinder companies' ability to do future business with the government," the auditors' report stated.
Federal ethics requirements, especially financial disclosure rules, could discourage corporate employees from participating.
Another predicament for agencies is the program's marketing, which consists of posts on the USAJOBS Web site. GAO suggests that federal managers advertise the program through the media and make personal contact with companies.
"Given the short time remaining for beginning exchanges, it will be essential to expeditiously address the challenges to enable a significant number of successful exchanges," GAO said.
In a written response, OPM officials said they will continue to promote the program as a tool available to agencies for training the federal IT workforce.
Some outgoing Republican congressional leaders do not view the report as a condemnation but as an opportunity to fix the program. "We hope this report motivates agencies and OPM to kick this important program into a higher gear," said David Marin, the Republican staff director of the Government Reform Committee. "What we can't allow is for this report to prompt some members to reconsider reauthorizing the exchange."
The Senate expressed both encouragement and concern for the program's future. Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee Chairwoman Susan Collins, R-Maine, said, "I am disappointed that no exchanges have yet taken place, but I am pleased that the Department of Homeland Security seems to be in the forefront of taking advantage of this program."
OPM agreed with the auditors' recommendation to include in OPM's semiannual reports to Congress the number of exchanges accomplished. "With this information," Collins said, "Congress can make an informed decision about whether to extend authority for the program when it expires."

I just searched this forum for "Whole House Fan", but I didn't find much about them (except this and this).
I'm curious to hear what experiences you all may have with these simple and relatively inexpensive devices out in the real world.
Here are some pictures and a basic definition of the type of fans I'm talking about:
4.7.12 Alternative Systems - Ventilation Cooling (2013 CA Energy Efficiency Standards)
The CEC also maintains a list of models approved for sale in California. Does this list adequately represent the state of the art?
Or are there other emerging whole-house ventilation technologies that home professionals ought to know about?
For this discussion, let's try to not confuse an old school "Attic Fan" (which isn't designed to ventilate a conditioned space) with a "Whole House Fan" (which is).
Don't hold back!

IS THE JUICE WORTH THE SQUEEZE? What are we saving? Show me the numbers!
Buying something you want then placing the label "energy saving" on it without proof is harmful to the energy efficiency industry. Suggesting "might save something" improvements is a low rigor low integrity product selling approach rather than solution approach. It is exactly why the public thinks EE and Home Performance are promises without substance. Currently they are correct.
If people make cost benefit decisions based upon the claim "saves something", is that good for them or our industry? I think we should do everything in our power to avoid attaching our names to such recommendations so we can move from selling snake oil and false promises to becoming a profession with integrity.
Charlie, you are a person I know to have high integrity. I hope you do not fall into this trap. There is no scientific method here. You don't see Mike MacFarland making false promises. He GUARANTEES energy use of his retrofit projects.
If you can't be accurate about "savings" don't claim it saves. If you failed first grade math, don't talk about the savings "you saw." If you saw savings, provide the case study and show what rigor was applied. Nobody expects MIT phd level statistics, but a sense of due diligence efforts will allow us to determine confidence level.
I see a lot of backward looking justifications. People NEVER want to admit they've done something "stupid." But let's face it, we all make stupid decisions all the time. That's human.
I get people buy toys, then attempt to justify their high cost with "it's saving me enough to retire on" fallacies. I say buy your toys and don't worry about justifying them. If you must justify them, do the math with more rigor than a first grader and stop saying things like "I believe I'm saving."
William Ramsey: I think a lot of your conditions start to exclude you AND the majority of people as candidates for these fans. Be very careful of people talking about potentially esoteric unquantified benefits then claim/imply there are also measurable savings that amount to something meaningful. Just because they bought into the ponzi scheme doesn't mean you should come in behind them.
Got a crappy house? FIX THE HOUSE!
Got crappy AC? FIX THE AC!
WHF are best for people too cheap to fix things. People looking for shortcuts. Go ahead if you don't have AC and don't have combustion appliances. (Beware: If you are in moist climates, having cool surfaces may be adding more cost than you think.)
It would be best if you offered valuable comments on this forum like others do.
While I agree with fix the house anywhere in the country before adding measures. AC is not installed in many homes here in Southern California which includes mine and Kurt Shafers area. Moisture is normally not a problem we are a warm dry climate very different than wherever in New York you are. I think on is not being lazy by investigating the benefits of a system to reduce heat load in a home.
Looking at weather Data for Temecula Valley there is a historical more than 30 degree swing each day from hottest to coldest in the month of August.I think one would be foolish not to consider it as an option.
As far as complication of design and installation it is far less complicated than a central air unit.
The energy to operate watts are far less as well.
Before you label horse and buggy and claim there is no juice to squeeze you should look at it regionally rather than from the perspective of your own climate.
While I am not in love with these units as I have mentioned in my blog for the reasons I put forward that does not mean that they can not work. I think a properly designed unit operated correctly can be a huge benefit in our area.Using the prevailing climate to provide comfort.
I have instead of using a whole house fan employed other methods to avoid AC installation. A shade tree on my west face which took some years to work but with a little water the acorn is a tree. A trellis on my south side to provide beauty with climbing vines and shade. Air sealing to disconnect my attic from my conditioned space. More attic insulation to reduce thermal transfer.
Wall insulation which did not exist in the home before I blew it in. Dual glazed windows with low e to reduce solar gain. The windows were also a ascetic upgrade as my wife wanted new windows regardless of energy. A solar power gable fan to exhaust air from the attic when the sun is shining. Ceiling fans for comfort when in the room. When the temperature reached the mid 90's last week my home never went above 78 degrees. I open the windows at night and flush the home with cool night breezes and close during the day to keep my cool thermal mass.
During the dog days of Santa Ana when night temperatures remain high I suffer a bit and complain. But with a modern state of the art AC costing in the 10k range installed before I turn the power on it and a cost in tier 4 cost of almost 30 cents a KwH and one cannot run AC without getting into Tier 4, I choose to suffer a couple of weeks out of the year and enjoy the extra cash on other things I deem more important
You have done a lot to improve your home. You might be intrigued by the upgrade I am planning for my 2 story here. I have applied for and received permission from my HOA to install a ridge vent. This will be one of the first in Temecula and the first on my block.
I am installing Atticfoil.com radiant barrier to all roof rafters with a gap at the bottom and at the top of each rafter channel. Last I will drill more soffit vents - at least one or two per rafter channel.
I have been monitoring my ceiling each day and it is getting into the 80s and even low 90s by the end of the day. I have plenty of insulation but the heat goes right through.
The radiant barrier is dramatic. The day I put in 1/4 of the attic (about 500 SF) the roof was 102 F underside and dropped to 85F on the bottom side of the foil.
I am sure that this will dramatically reduce my home's hot surfaces - mainly the ceiling.
My walls contribute very little and I have dual panes and window shades.
I will be posting updates on wholehousefanguy.com and invisco.com
Radiant barrier certainly works well when installed as you are doing. you should meter attic temperature before and after for a delta. Make sure the outside temperature is also included. Kudos to your association for allowing you to perform the ridge vents.
My projects were not done all at once. Well before I got started in this business I was worried about comfort.The tree was planted about 15 years ago. At that same time I did the trellis project and installed a gable fan. This was electric and kicked on when the attic was 110 degrees. I noticed an immediate difference in the home as I performed this in Summer. The windows were not done all at once. My single glazed aluminum windows were not only ugly but were extremely leaky. When the wind blew in the winter I could hear the operable slider shake and feel the wind gust in. I did not need training in building science to conclude the window needed replacement. The rest followed with other projects. My method was like eating an elephant. One piece at a time as we had the cash to perform the tasks
The insulation and air sealing was performed after my training. Also I switched to the solar gable at this time. Not only did I reduce watts used but reduced the cfm as well. No risk based on the fan size and my openings of depressurizing the attic. The higher AC fan certainly moved more air but the solar fan is more than adequate and my attic stays cool. My gables have a north south facing and the unit is on my south side. With the west to east prevailing breezes I pull air from the north cool side and out the south. Nature helps with the wind.
Good luck with your project. Post your blog here on HEP with pictures of course.
Cool! Radiant foil in a retrofit.
Sounds like a quick/cheap DIY job - Just be careful and don't fall through!

Ted, could you please rephrase your comment. I have no idea what you're talking about. What's the point?
Where are you? I am in Temecula. Hot days, cool nights.
You are right on with ducted machines and multiple speeds. I am guessing you have QC based on your watts.
Have you seen the SmartSpeed automatic speed control and infinite speed motors?
I have been in the building business since 1972 installing whole house fans since 1999 and training in all sorts of energy efficiency and greenbuilding since 2001.
I would say; and do, that the two examples ( this and this) are irrelevant as the situations were for various reasons extraordinary for any appliance of that type.
I do not do any fresh installs of the old style whole house fans.
Only if I have to replace an old style whole house fan I will use the Triangle fans http://trianglefans.com/whole-house-fans/ but have to get higher quality louvers than come with the fan.
They also work fine in a leaky house with people who are fine at 80 degrees - never using A/C is not losing money over it. if they are in a climate suitable for whole house fans.
The Triangles' 2' x 2', 30" x 30", or 3'x3' hole in the ceiling which has no R-value and leaks in winter and summer.
I put in Airscapes 98% of the time - they are strong, built with parts that are reliable and very; very: quiet. They have strong motors on the doors and seal adequately enough for the penetration to not make for significant cooling loss in the summer or heat in the winter. http://www.airscapefans.com/products/Shop/Natural-Cooling/Whole-Hou...
(Kohilos do not have electrically operated doors)
Air volume replaced is 1,700 cfm - 4,400cubic ft per minute (the 1,000 cfm is only for places that can't take ANYTHING else).
The super high cfm (cubic feet per minute) old style fans don't cool any faster unless you have a huge house and often roof venting is inadequate for them so there are health risks to impropr installation apart from blowback of heat from the attic into the house.
Their cfm statements were tested by outside labs and are therefore more accurate than most others - I think they still do it that way (check details on all fans you look at and find out if they have independent testing)
They ship direct so the fans cannot be marked up by middle men - they are not cheap but are easier to install than the old type. If you have been willing to buy a new car to get to work and back a few hundred dollars does not compare to the thousands that drop of your car value the first hour of use and the comfort of a home you've been living in for years is more important looking back than a car you got rid of a few years ago.
I'm in the Sacramento valley with its mild climate and often evenings in the 70s and a delta breeze from the sea these are ideal. Further south - if it's 95 at night they are useless.
We have cool mornings most of the time so bringing in the morning air will cool the sun warming the attic till 9-10 am sometimes lengthening the heat penetration time - cutting off A/C time. In the winter, if it's colder in than out , you can bring in the warm air.
In the areas that are right for whole house fans:
It is important to have (after a short blast of high speed venting to empty attic air)
Then have a continual flow of cooler air to carry away the heat generated during the day in the house and especially the attic (hereabouts 150-160 degrees often - attics are a perfect solar radiators in the summer when you don't need it) all the trusses insulation and joists have to cool down over time. Like 4-8 hours.
This is why quietness and low power consumption are important.
If you are in an area where whole house fans will save you money and energy - check the wattages of all the models especially on the lower speeds - some are 25-50 watts per hour. When contemplating solar panels the extra cost of ultra low wattage whole house fans will become more and more important - especially with the increasing price drop per watt and especially when solar is cheaper than coal and China has scaled up their production again a few times. I also have a strong feeling that USB 4.0 will be a big game changer - producing low volt - low watt appliances and energy independent houses and offices
There are gadgets that can help make life easier that can be added on - remotes etc.
There are also extensive installation instructions.
Attic Fans: Expelling air from the attic during the day with attic fans can often help things out although most experts will disagree with me. I was able to test and get results in a few places I installed attic fans - anything that increases the time it takes for heat to penetrate the insulation in the attic helps comfort and A/C bills.
For properly built actual super insulated houses I would not recommend a whole house fan they adjust environmental temperature with so little energy cost and should vent passively.
I don't know for sure but people with allergies may not be able to use them even with the pollen filters.
As far as priorities:
Sealed HVAC duct systems (tests available)
A well sealed attic (and rest of envelope)
Properly installed insulation (rare in existing houses and many new ones also)
Correctly sized air conditioners (many are oversized)
Well designed duct and HVAC system (difficult to find a skilled designer - checker)
Then a whole house fan where it is a good climate proposition (unless you are an 80-90 degree person like me in which case it can be #1 priority)
(All appliances and lights are presumed up to date on efficiency as the effort to change this factor is so small)
Great information, thank you!
ABOUT ATTIC FANS - Special Cases
In some houses attics gradually get hot during the day especially with the right configuration of trees and sun. Then the attic heat starts penetrating the house before sundown and the house continues staying hot until 11-12 at night when the hot air finally vents passively from the attic (passive venting is not reliable or that effective in many cases - spinners look interesting but often do not function to any great effect).
A WHF will take care of this.
However an attic fan with a thermostat will cost much less, be easier to install and do what is necessary using around 200 watts per hour (only during the time the fan is turned on by the thermostat).
It will cool the attic and therefore the house without any windows open and independent of the ∆t (in this case the temperature difference between the outside of the house and the inside living areas) it's only actual 'concern' will be the temperature of the attic based on the thermostat setting.

Thoughts on War
The Rhode Island Regiment consisted of white men, free and enslaved blacks, and Narragansatt Indians who fought with the Continental Army in the Revolutionary War.
(Requires Quicktime, or other MP3 player)
"Good day to you. My name's Robert Evans. I'm a free black. I can tell you about the war. It's been a few years since it come through here in Virginia. I was a free black before the war. I owned property. I owned land, I had a wife and children. I even owned a slave, Nanny Trail. And, I had to pay a tax on my wife back in those times before the war.
Once the war came, things kind of changed. Life was hard. And I felt like somebody caught between two big rocks - the British on one side, and the Americans on the other. Well when the war come about, the governor in Williamsburg, he decide that he was gonna issue a proclamation. In his proclamation, he offered freedom to all Negroes that would join him in fighting the patriots.
I don't think so.
But, time come where I had to make a decision. Well, I decided to fight with the Continental Army. There wasn't much war to fight here in Virginia until about 1780. That's when the British come back into the Chesapeake, burning up towns like Portsmouth, shooting cannons into the towns, bringing fear to everybody. I had to protect my family, my children, my wife.
But many of the slaves they was running to the British. Some of 'em even jumped into the water trying to get on those ships. Many of 'em didn't make it. Well, I can't tell you too much more about the war, but I say this - even after we won the independence, I'm still half free, half slave..."

When hair color is good, it's rich and gorgeous—the stuff of bus-stop-advertising legend. When hair color is bad, it's a train wreck. Here's how to make sure you fall into the former category.
10 Rules of Gorgeous Hair Color
1. Do Your Prep Work
Split ends look even split-end-ier with highlights, so get a trim before you color. It's also best to wash your hair the night before coloring—hair that's too clean or too dirty can mess with how the color turns out. And if you're going to a salon, wear your hair as you normally do so the colorist can get an accurate sense of your style.
MORE: Read This Before You Dye
2. Know Yourself
Dorky as it may sound, you have to be yourself when it comes to hair color. If you're fair, don't look at Salma Hayek for inspiration. And if you're olive-tone, you will never pull off Scarlett Johansson blonde, no matter how much bleach you pour on. Pale and pinkish skin look best with blonde or light brown hair, while those who have medium or dark skin with yellow or golden undertones should go for more coppery auburns and dark browns.
Your hair's texture is also a factor. As a general rule, wavy hair can handle up to five or six shades of color, but if your hair is pin-straight, stick to more uniform color—highlights will look very obvious.
3. Stock Up
4. Wrap It Up
5. Learn How to Communicate
6. Take It Easy
7. Fix It Up
If you were hoping for strawberry blonde but ended up flaming scarlet, you can mute the color by slathering on a deep conditioner while hair is damp, then covering it with plastic wrap and a hot towel. (Try Neutrogena Triple Moisture Deep Recovery Hair Mask.) After ten minutes, remove the towel and the plastic wrap, blast your head with a blow-dryer, leave the mask on for another ten, and then shampoo and condition. If the color still sucks, see a pro.
8. Avoid Bad Things
Hair has vices, too. They are: overzealous heat styling, chlorine, excessive washing, and the sun. (Imagine how great your highlights would look if only you lived in an igloo.) If your hair turns green or brassy, wash with a purple-tinted shampoo once a week. (The pros all recommend Clairol Professional Shimmer Lights Shampoo.) And prevent future damage by coating hair in conditioner before you go to the beach or pool.
If your hair turns dry and crunchy from overzealous heat styling, try a deep-conditioning mask once or twice a week at home. For fine hair, we suggest jojoba-and-shea-butter-infused Pureology HydraWhip Light Moisture Hair Souffle,which moisturizes without weighing hair down; for medium to thick textures, try an ultrarich formula likeL'Oréal Paris EverPure Moisture Deep Restorative Masque. If that fails, ask your colorist for an in-salon glossing treatment, or you can try an at-home version likeJohn Frieda Clear Shine Luminous Glaze.
