Bank Term Deposit Rates / Bank Accounts / Debit Card Commonwealth
When starting a business one of the most important decisions that needs to be taken is the type of business bank account to open. Some people are tempted to open an account with their existing bank and as a result either miss out on higher interest rates or lower fees. Over the long run the savings or earnings can be quite significant so it is important to compare different business bank accounts.
Millennial's are often criticised for their financial management skills, particularly for their love of spendthrift activities such as expensive brunches and international travel. However, it turns out that young Aussies may actually be quite financially savvy especially when it comes to avoiding bank charges and debt. According to research released by ING, Australian millennial's are not only actively seeking to minimise their bank fees, they also place a lot of importance on paying off debt as quickly as possible. Continue reading
In July term deposits on tenures ranging from 1 to 3 years reached their highest level since 2017 continuing the trend of rate hikes. In June, research shows that there were ten times the number of rate hikes as there were rate cuts. AMP, ANZ and many smaller lenders and cooperatives hiked their rates by anywhere between 5 and as many as 20 basis points. The rate hikes are in response to higher funding costs on international wholesale markets so the banks are trying to encourage more local deposits. Continue reading
Across the world people are taking to mobile banking in droves and Australia is no different. A rising number of Aussies are using mobile banking apps to manage their money and if you happen to be one of them, then it appears that you are much more likely to recommend your bank to friends and family. According to a recent survey undertaken by Roy Morgan, more than two-thirds of people polled said they would probably recommend a bank after using its mobile app. This is way more than people who visit branches or bank by phone.

If you are a petite girl like myself, you will know the struggle of finding things that fit. I have spoken a lot about finding clothing in order to fit our petite figures but I have never before touched on jewellery. Which is bizarre, because I always struggle so blooming much to find tiny jewellery that doesn't slip off my wrist, doesn't engulf my whole arm and actually fits right. WELL STRUGGLE NO MORE LITTLE ONES!
I have recently partnered with a jewellery store called 'dainty wrist jewellery', its a company that sells jewellery especially tailored to girls with little wrists who usually struggle to find bracelets that fit. My oh my is it a beautiful store. When I was on their site, I was kind of spoilt for choice, and for a girl who normally has to search far and wide to find a little enough bracelet to wear, you should have seen how giddy I got. So I thought that I would talk you through a few pieces that I got from from their company and why I am freaking obsessed with them.
Firstly, this leaf bracelet. This is a beautiful silver bracelet that I am totally in love with for an everyday look. I love how the leaf goes so perfectly around my wrist and how the chain does not droop for a mile along my wrist! Its such a gorgeous bracelet with a beautiful amount of detail in it and I love how it looks with an everyday outfit.
Next is this GORGEOUS sterling silver bangle. I wont lie, being able to wear a bangle is probably one of the most exciting things in my life. The bracelet is such a beautiful mixture of smooth and patterned silver. I love how the material is flexible enough to pull apart a little in order to get your wrist in it, but is also strong enough to hold its shape on your wrist and not fold under pressure. This is so perfect for an evening out or a meal with the fam. I adore this paired with a little clutch and a little sparkle!
This trio is so perfect for a night out. I have seen Swarofski with their own, so this is such a perfect dupe! The mixture of 3 metals is so flattering paired with black and a lotta cute makeup! I loooove how these bangles actually fit my wrist, its just so funny how something so odd to someone else can just make your week! The texture on these bracelets makes them look so much more expensive and reflects the light so beautifuly!
Now for my absolute FAVOURITE piece, this sterling silver bangle. Its such a simple and pretty piece that , paired with a watch, just completes an outfit! Honestly I cried when I opened this, its such a gorgeous little piece and the fact that she engraved PETITEELLIEE onto it is just so meaning for me and made me so emosh!
This petite jewellery is so gorgeous and the most beautiful site to delve into if you have tiny wrists like myself. Shop all the pieces that I have spoken about:
Mixed Metals Bangle

There was no way I was letting the "negative" image go to waste.
What do you do when you don't have the time or resources to make tapered beeswax candles? This is my take on the advent calender and wreath all in one. The kids glue on a star for each day. Four candle silhouettes are illuminated, one for each week.
Getting ready for next year's paperwork. The last couple years I have used a one-page calender to keep track of when bills are due -quarterly, monthly or yearly. When a bill is paid I make a note, so when my husband or I need a quick reminder it is all in one place. This year I wanted to jazz it up a bit with some doodles. Who says paying bills can't be enjoyable....
in case you need a little calendar too, here's black and white copy for you! Let me know if you have trouble printing or any mistakes.
in case you need a little calendar too, here's black and white copy for you! Let me know if you have trouble printing or any mistakes.
a quick marker doodle
I suppose the markers won out for the most used media this month.
I have done some fiber art too! My first felted project, mittens for the kids. I also finished my car-kitting project that took most of the year and started a sweater for my son while my husband started a sweater for our daughter.
When I was a girl, my sister and I would spread newspaper on the table, pull out a couple drawers of stamps and spend some time stamping away. It was fun to pull them out again and play around a little.
I've been reading a lot about advent spirals, like this one, so it was naturally what I found myself drawing.
That concludes my art every day month but check out the other artists!
This won't be my only art this winter...check out Shannon's e-course Inside Out, I'm already signed up and quite giddy about it too!

This report summarizes the state of investment activity in the Agricultural Industry. It will focus on trends relating to Sustainable Systems development, as well as new technology which might be applied to increase yield and/or quality of the food produced in the US.
"Agriculture" is a widely defined industry. It spans from the mining industry through to the manufacturing sector, production, processing, and distribution networks which derive most of their gross receipts in support of, or in the process of growing food.
In terms of this report, the primary focus areas will be centered in the following areas:
International Agriculture
Domestic Production Systems in the U.S.
Agri-Business Infrastructure
International Agriculture:
Agriculture in developing countries is considered a significant area of opportunity for investments in the Food and Agricultural Industry. For example, in Africa, Forbes reports: "Seventy percent of the world's uncultivated arable land is on the continent, according to Sara Menker, the founder of Gro Intelligence, an agricultural data company with offices in New York City and Kenya." The People's Republic of China is actively buying up land on that continent in huge quantities. With the world's population demanding we find more arable land, and/or significantly increase production per acre; regions like the African landscape could be a significant production source. In order to see those land investments come to fruition, there needs to be a significant increase in developing the infrastructure which is far behind the developed countries of Europe and North America.
Since Europe is an important customer of African Agriculture, it would follow that as Africa attempts to develop its markets, it will need to adhere to the EU's most stringent regulations relating to the reduction of chemical-based crop protection and fertilization materials. Investments in Sustainable Systems that incorporate new technologies in equipment and information management systems to support an efficient and viable Agriculture in Africa and other developing countries will be a significant area of opportunity in the near future.
Many investors are viewing sub-Saharan Africa and other countries in the Equatorial belt as areas of opportunity.
In this analysis, Sub-Saharan Africa accounted for 15.1 percent of the world's total harvested area that same year, but only 7.9 percent of the total value of crop, a reflection of lower yields and lower valued crops.
As technology and education comes to the region, the potential to significantly increase crop yields is significant.

The land of opportunity isn't limited to Africa. In Latin America, foreign investments have exploded since the 1990's. In total, according to the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations, total investments in Latin America have trended as follows:
Year $ (in US millions)
1990 110, 547
2000 502, 487
2008 1,181,615

Domestic Production Systems – USA
Sustainable and Organic Systems:
Production Agriculture systems in the US are undergoing change at this time. Over the next several years, we will see the divergence of 'conventional' agriculture and 'organic' agriculture become less divided.

Technologies driven by minimizing Environmental impact and in support of sustainable systems will continue being developed. Certified Organic Farming will continue to mature as a sector of the food production landscape.
According to the last Census of Agriculture (2012); Organic sales were growing in 2012, but still accounted for just 0.8 percent of the total value of U.S. agricultural production. Organic farmers reported $3.12 billion in sales in 2012, up from $1.7 billion in 2007. Look for both total sales and sales per farm to substantially increase in this category in 2017 as the USDA Certified Organic Program continues gaining numbers. Consumer demand for Certified Organic products has increased significantly over the past 5 years. The number of large operations (greater than $1,000,000 in sales/year) converting to Organic is steadily increasing to meet that demand. Expect this sector to be a major portion of Agricultural marketings; policy direction; and research & development in the future. Virtually every sector in Agriculture will be affected from the supply side to equipment innovation and food processing.

Urban Agriculture-Vertical and Indoor Agriculture
One of the key areas of investment happening in recent years relates to moving production closer to the consumer. With the advancements in lighting technologies and alternative energy sources, large investors are seeking out abandoned urban buildings and developing high tech systems located strategically so as to significantly reduce transportation costs.
Concurrently, hydroponic, aeroponic, and related systems are evolving at a break neck pace to step up to the production level needed to make these systems profitable.
The indoor farming sector has grown to $4 Billion per year in the US, and analysts predict it will continue growing at a 30% per year growth between 2015-2020. Companies like Whole Foods are investing heavily into this sector so as to bring their produce closer to the marketplace and help address the 'food desert' problems across our cities. Privately held companies like AeroFarms, FarmedHere, and Green Sense Farms are all in the game, investing in systems development, operations, and marketing agreements so as to build off this emerging technology. Some publics include Urban Barns Foods Inc. (URBF) and Affinor Growers (RSSFF) (CSE:AFI), have early-stage operations, while mCig Inc. (OTC:MCIG) offers grow room design and consulting, yet there are no large and established pure-plays and only a handful of small start-ups that show promise. Expect this to change with franchising of the technology and engineering pieces being a big opportunity for investment.

Agri-Business and Agricultural Technologies
The Agri-Business infrastructure of suppliers, service providers, and manufacturers are actively expanding into making Precision Agriculture more 'precise'. The utilization of drones, variable rate technology, GPS mapping, and related industries have evolved and continue to. This group of information management technologies will not only continue to grow in the US, but will be expanding to developing countries with the continuous expansion of digitized soil mapping in Africa and other target areas for agricultural development.
See: Agricultural Technology Investment Rises to Record $25 Billion (AgWeb.com, a division of Farm Journal)
The evolution of Genetic Engineering, Genetically Modified Organism technology, and other related seed technologies will continue to increase exponentially; though will be under greater scrutiny as we move forward. Aside from food safety concerns, the concern over a disrupted gene pool, crop resistance to protection materials, and other ecological bases for criticism; the evolution of the seed production industry is the subject of much public scrutiny, as they are aligned to chemical crop protection companies like Monsanto, Syngenta, and others. What is interesting about the GMO debate is that it isn't so much the environmental concerns and food quality concerns, but a matter of economics. The Seed sector, once populated with several dozen major players developing their own lines of seed has been whittled down to a handful of companies marketing the majority of the seed; and owning the intellectual property and genetic rights to the seed itself. How the government handles that in the future will be of interest to the investor and the market (the farmer). Look for non-GMO companies to increase in the future to meet the increasing pressure on the farmer to market their product without the use of GMO seed or crops.
Finally, in the area of Agri-Business and technologies, look for more investments in equipment that is geared to the Certified Organic Farmer. Of all the sectors of Production Agriculture, this group will make the biggest percentage jump when the numbers are in for the 2017 Census. Several of the 'big ag' companies of California, the South, and the Northwest are shifting a portion of their acreage to Organic to meet consumer demand; and along with this, there will be a high demand for field equipment technologies that enable the farmer to eliminate synthetic fertilizers and protectants, the most critical of which will be herbicides. Controlling weeds without them will require greater mechanization.

We sold the canoe due to my back issues as paddling like that is a big no-no for me from now on. Deja did great in the canoe last summer and it was very enjoyable. Kayaking is ok for me but I wonder if and how I can take her? My hubby and I tried out a two-seater kayak without her and that went fine so I assume a single one would work for me as well. Any thoughts / experiences you can share? Type of kayaks?

The Importance of Sport
On many levels is sport very important to each and every one of us for a various number of reasons. First of all sport and fitness is what helps us keep in shape and stay healthy which is key to living a long and happy life. There are many benefits to being fit; first of all you will have much better health, and a better body image which in turn may help your self-esteem. Another major importance to sport is that there are so many career opportunities in the athletic field such as: gym teacher, pro athlete, sports analysts, physiotherapist, personal trainer, and many more. Also sports can be used as a stress relief to just get away from it all and shoot some hoops or play pond hockey. From a personal level I have made many friends from playing rep hockey 4 times a week to pick up football on the weekends and many if not all of my friends I've met playing sports both Rep and High school. On that note there are both positive and negative attributes of playing for your school or rep team. For school you get to play with you group of friends and represent your school, although it may not be the highest level of competition it's great fun and a lot better than doing nothing. With playing rep you get to diversify your friend group, hopefully play at a high level but it does consume your life with your sport not leaving much room for a job or school work. Whichever one you choose it doesn't matter you're getting out there and doing something your love to do. To finish up I hope to be involved in sports as long as I possibly can even though I am not competing at a high level right now I hope still be playing hockey with my friends in college and after that still playing with them in a beer league somewhere, and after that possibly coach my kids sports teams as much as I can and showing them the "tricks of the trade" and isn't that what it's all about?

It took Apple to legitimize touch. Not only proving it could be done on relatively low powered devices, but it could be such a natural way for the user to interact with the computer. I have read articles that Both RIM and Microsoft was amazed that it was possible given 'their' experience with the power consumption requirements of devices and we caught completely off guard when Apple did deliver on the promise. I found this point interesting especially given the massive R&D budget that Microsoft has and the incredible work they do (Surface, XBox, Kinect).
Last night I watched the CES keynote where Steve Ballmer went through some of the current innovations (XBOX, Kinect, WP7 ..) and gave us a glimpse of what will be coming in 2011, some as soon as the next few months.
I have to say some of what was shown excited me, not necessarily from the on stage tech, but from the new promises that are being ushered in. Now I am sure that you are saying that there is innovation occurring in iOS and Android platforms and you are right, but from a business point of view Windows and Microsoft technology just fits with our visions here at BITtelligent.
So what did I get excited about in no significant order.
1. AvatarKinect
So much of our interaction is within the space of a phone/screen now. Meetings are dry and we do not get any visual queues to body language. Imagine if you will the capability of this technology used to provide the virtual meetings/round tables/lectures. It displays a new and interesting interaction model that I hope leaks outside of the XBOX 360. Kinect in general is awesome and it looks like MS beat its numbers by a mile with a goal of 5 mil units in 2010 and hitting 8 mil.
2. Surface
I have loved the technology that is surface and have waited till (1) it matures enough and (2) the cost is not so prohibitive that I could just go ahead and assume some development risk. The next generation of Surface seems to up the anti with regards to capabilities and I have seeing some indication that it will be less then Gen1 tech. Here is hoping that MS brings it out to Devs at the right price point.
3. Advanced Touch PCs
I cannot express how much this kind of notebook excites me with possibilities ICONIA
In everything we do in the development business we have context. The ability to dynamically replace the keyboard with a touch surface provides ways of optimizing many of the work processes/development duties we do from day to day. I would love the concept of the virtual keyboard as a driver for a much larger desktop computer as well. I will be picking one of these up since Its just too much cool for me to pass on. Maybe just maybe there is something I can whip up for the next Sage event to show off some of my ideas on the platform.
So here is to 2011, hopefully the year of the natural interface and touch to smack us straight in the face.
BTW, I have no desire for 3D tv's that this time. They do not represent a good value and honestly for me I have yet to find one 3D movie beyond Avatar that would actually merit such a tech.

|The Abydos Helicopter
|Hesire's Tomb Door
|Giza Pyramid Temples
|Previous - Exact Reconstruction of the Giza's Groundplan
|The Nazca Monkey Report
|Next - Testing the Nazca Monkey for Connections to the Great Pyramid
An entire decorated desert plain overlooking the Pacific at Nazca, Peru; fifteen hundred finely engraved Stone-Age stone tablets beneath the earthen floor of a modest rock overhang in southern France; and the Giza pyramids - it is a delicate matter to defend a theory which proves that these sites, so far scattered in space and time, are all authored by the same team as complementary parts of a single project. All the evidence is abstract, composed of deciphered geometric designs. The hallmarks of these designs are sophistication, laboratory precision of implementation, and common focus on the same subjects.
For instance, the below configuration of a cone and a square is shared between the Stone Age Athena Engraving and the Nazca Monkey glyph. Its construction begins with a 5-pointed star, yielding first the cone, then the square. Other constructions may be derived from the core design.
I had first learned about the "Cone & Square" configuration, and in general, about intelligent geometric language encoded in art, from the Athena Engraving. Although my observations were factual, they challenged established wisdom. Regrettably, it seems as if all the academia had a thimbleful of concentrated truth to the effect that there was no Stone Age advanced science. Therefore, I was the cause of the designs. Rationalisations ranged from geometry ubiquitous in everything, which one can interpret in a myriad of ways, to my devious geometric craftiness bent upon extracting money from naive readership in the style of Erich von Dâniken. I was non-plussed by such irrelevant charges; the process of discovery proved to be unending, it had a mind of its own, which I could only admire and follow.
I had to conclude that the image was intended to guide and teach the explorer. I saw myself getting lessons in geometry, which I had never been interested in before. I saw and appreciated the laconic clarity of inspiring clues like lighthouses along the path of exploration. Those took me for an adventurous journey, always in anticipation of the next surprise, the next smart idea.
Next great milestone in my research was finding independent proof of the reality of the Cone & Square design. I was as happy as can be at discovering that the same complex idea was clearly, powerfully manifest in the glyph of the Nazca Monkey... The Cone idea should be fairly clearly evident to a keen-eyed reader from the graphic of the monkey below; look for the X-shaped black glyph lines merging with the color stars. For the full story read my Nazca report.
Unlike the complex Athena Engraving, the monkey does not teach the Cone & Square configuration. Yet, its Cone system has some unique similarities to the original, thus the Square should be experimentally added to the Cone, as below. A good look at the square superscribed over the reddish Square reveals strong harmony with the monkey's figure. Now, it's a glaring fact that the monkey embodies the square configuration with its posture.
The monkey sets up a puzzle on the shortest construction of the 5-pointed star.
The green square at the top is the Square; the small green square at the bottom is one of the squares implicit in the glyph (on the feet). The rest of the diagram fills is the solution, the logical relationship between the two. The horizontal arm of the star, and the Square's horizontal diagonal share the same line. Moreover, all four corners of the Square lie on the star.
This unique configuration materializes late in the glyph's analysis; it seems to fulfill some deeper purpose, other than drafting a pretty picture. Conspicuously, one of the Square's diagonals serves as the star's arm, thus, a step is saved in the process of its construction. I had felt that the case in point was presumably the most efficient (shortest) construction of the 5-pointed star - a noble pattern justifying the puzzle selectionas highly meaningful.
The process itself was simple. At one time, I had been enclosing elements of the monkey in rectangles parallel to the Square's diagonals. The monkey's feet set a rectangle, too. I extended it into a square with a circle around it, the "Foot-square."
Thereafter, I was in position to observe that "B," the top right corner of this Foot-square, connects to the top and bottom corners of the Square by lines closely approximating angles of a 5-pointed star. I drew the signalled star, with the distance A-B as one of its arms.
Next, copying the circled Foot-square to the bottom corner of the Square reveals that the Foot-square's circle is none other but the Golden Circle of this Square! So, the Foot-square with its circle is the right thing in the right place! It is also ideally placed for getting the idea across.
The actual placement of the Foot-square configuration is slightly imperfect, but its size is indistinguishable from the golden circle configuration.
Looping Back to Athena for Proof
Since my analysis of the monkey glyph seems to culminate in the Foot-square idea, and if the monkey glyph is directly related to the Athena Engraving, a possibility looms that the idea of the Foot-square might be recorded in the Athena. I may have missed it.
The hypothesis is easily tested by adding the Foot-square idea to Athena's blueprints. An exceptionally positive result to this backchecking then translates into ironclad proof of direct connections between the two sites. You can see it below; it comes with a bonus - the Foot-square copied over the head fits with optometrist's precision... The bonus is a definite plus to the case.
Let's look at this new position under greater magnification below. It is a creative interpretation of the same subject from the monkey glyph. Here, the Foot-square fits the right foot like a shoe, instead of encompassing both feet. In a show of keeping true with the idea, however, Athena's left foot appears to have its own Foot-square!
Here are some reasons why I find the experiment successful: the entire lower right leg is centered within the circle around the Foot-square; the square's bottom side fits under the foot with better than hairline precision, if you don't count the loose shoelace; Athena sits on the line through the top side of the square, hence the height of the square is perfectly reflected in the picture, top and bottom; the right side of the square limits a part of the foot.
Or, was it the artist's wim to incorporate a view of both feet crossed, as well? The strange looking right foot, or boot, disassembles into two quite naturally looking feet (boots). The right boot rests on the left one. If so, then the lower half of the Foot-square is a perfect containing rectangle for Athena's left foot, and both feet are comfortably centered in the square's circumcircle
The square inscribed into the Foot-square is supported by the image, too. Given correctly angled lines, we can fit one such line to the heel with visually perfect precision, and repeat the same at the points marked by arrows. The diagonal of the Foot-square which is rising to the north-east can be precisely rested against a point near the top, and the same applies to both the vertical and horizontal axes of the square. Obviously, anyone remembering these supports in the image can make a visually perfect replica of the Foot-square, and its axes and diagonals.
The diagram below: The line of centers of the two Foot-squares has just two chances at significant passage through the image, at the spots marked by arrows, and makes the best of both of them.
Another line (a) cast at 45 degrees from the midpoint of the second square is most remarkable in how it connects and limits both feet.
It was a surprise that the same Foot-square fits Athena's head and does so with amazing accuracy at that, as seen in the below image; the lifesize diameter of the circle within the square is only two centimeters.
It's also interesting to see how the head's main proportions in this orientation correspond to the Golden Section. If the entire colored-in rectangle is 2 units wide, then its height is 2.6180..., or, Phi squared. We see two golden rectangles below the square; adding the small squares above gives two vertical golden rectangles.
Diagram below:
Above is a view of a pentagram inscribed into a Square's golden circle centered in one of the Square's corners. The harmony between this geometry and Athena's face is something to behold.
It is artificial, self-evidently, being in plain sight.
Behold the face from the star's tip on your right:
*The cone of vision of the face from your vantage point belongs to this star _ pentagon at the top, pentagram at the bottom.
*Two more lines from the tip are also seen as strategic to the mapping of the face _ the yellow line comes from the inscribed square and is a boundary for the nose; it. The horizontal line sets the direction and location of the lips.
Look down from the star's upper tip:
You are precisely at the upper edge of an engraved line at the top of Athena's forehead. In all, three engraved lines fan out from here in unison with three lines of the star. As in the former case, this involves two pentagram arms and an additional pentagon side.
Already the third pentagon side in a row, counter-clockwise, coincides with a vertical engraved line of the hat and exits through an engraved point.
The low boundary line for the head:
Go to the intersection of the vertical pentagram arm with a side of the Square (right at the top of an engraved line, too); draw a horizontal line from there, and you have the low boundary line for the head, specifically, the helmet and Athena's neck.
*Other effects are left the reader to discover.
I believe, I've shown extensive evidence that the engraving, just like the Nazca Monkey, had been designed with the idea of the Foot-square in mind.
Abydos Helicopter
Still later, I found another possible connection of the Athena Engraving to a far-flung place and time - the Abydos Helicopter. This is a famous controversy; some carvings at the temple of Seti the First at Abydos, Egypt look like modern craft, but Egyptologists defuse the uncanny impression by claiming that it is due to the carvings being a palimpsest. Caveat emptor, palimpsests are by nature chaotic, but simple testing had shown that this particular "palimpsest" is not chaotic at all, hence it is not a palimpsest...
There are some striking similarities in the Abydos Helicopter to my previous studies, as the carving seems to result from the construction of a 5-pointed star, and there is a profusion of golden rectangles. Since it also symbolizes modern technology, I see this carving as being from the Agency, but possibly indirectly, via the Egyptian Temple.
Exact Reconstruction of Petrie's Layout of the Giza Pyramids
Abydos Helicopter had sparked my interest in ancient Egypt. Eventually, I did an exact reconstruction from a clean slate of the Giza layout from the authoritative survey by Petrie That study is a remarkable achievement, because no one else equalled it, although many had tried and are trying still by various methods. It is important that my reconstruction begins from the "13-steps" construction of the 5-pointed star, which is involved in the designs of Athena and the monkey.
Like the monkey, could the Giza groundplan be evident in the engraving? Have I missed out on it there?
The hypothesis is easily checked out; just add the Giza groundplan to the corresponding star in the engraving and see what happens. This test has beauty in that the star's position in the engraving has been set in stone long ago ( Seal of Atlantis), and that precludes any tricks on my part.
As always, the Agency's authors produce imaginative variations on the topic at hand. In the engraving, the Great Pyramid actually moves!
The Main Value of the present Study:
* Reinforcement of the notion of the Agency's existence
* Provision of convincing evidence that my method mirrors the method the Giza planners themselves had used. If the Giza Giza groundplan is almost fifteen-thousand years old, if not older, a distinct possibility arises that the actual pyramids are as old.
* Progress in understanding and mapping of the engraving due to finding a number of additional procedures, by which the engraving had been made.
The Pyramids Over the Engraving
Since the great Giza pyramids are supposedly ten-thousand years younger than the Athena Engraving, their design may have been developed during the intervening period. But, my results clearly show complete integration of the Giza plan into the engraving. The Great Pyramid is actually the dominant factor in the drawing of Athena's head!
At first, however, the result as given below seems less conclusive, although strong. Yet, the complete solution is a low-hanging fruit; we have to take a hint that the Great Pyramid moves along a predetermined path to an orderly position over the head
Initial observation:
* One side of each pyramid coincides for some distance with an edge of an engraved line.
* The extended sides, axes, and diagonals obviously function as important power-lines (leylines) in the engraving.
A prominent example is given by the right side of the Second Pyramid, as the upper and lower corners on the left side of the Second Pyramid are clearly bounded by two lines, which end there. The contact between the constructed and the engraved lines in the upper corner is microscopically perfect. The Third Pyramid also is a part of significant order, and this is dealt with later on in the article. But, to begin, let's concentrate on Athena's head.
The Geometric Miracle of Athena's Head
The diagram below is sufficiently magnified to show really well the details of the initial position:
* The upper, north side of the Great Pyramid is inserted into the head to follow the edge of an engraved horizontal line.
* The diagonal lines, one from the middle of the eastern side, and one through the pyramid's center, both serve as perfect boundaries on the face, running precisely along edges of engraved lines.
* Both pyramid circles neatly navigate their way into the head through narrow openings; their passage then is supported by some line ends.
|All that is impressive, but frankly, not entirely satisfactory. Surely,
it would be better if the Great Pyramid confguration were directly over
the head's area, and if its relationship with it were more intense. Of
course, hope springs eternal; indeed, there was
some temptation to experiment right away. The
rail link of the pyramid's upper side with the head, along which the pyramid could slide into the head, was the main sign.
There were other signs, as well. To be systematic, let's cover those first. I guarantee the reader a great show!
| The Horizontal Column
The evidence in this study is graphic; the accuracy of the engraving is a must see, so, unusually large diagrams are used, several times the lifesize. The diagram below is a product of the "13-step" construction method of the pentagram. The Horizontal Column, which is instrumental to the Giza's groundplan reconstruction, is highlighted in color. It's a configuration of two golden rectangles, a smaller upright one (green and blue), and a larger horizontal one (yellow); the green and blue rectangle is further divided into a blue square and a green golden rectangle. The column can also be divided into two upright golden rectangles with a square in between them, or simply, into four smaller (not golden) rectangles .
The diagram below encompasses the entire engraving. The pyramiss themselves are omitted for now, in the interest of clarity. I used yellow to note that one of the star's tips is centrally located within Athena's head.
The four small circles of each color mark corners of two large overlapping golden rectangle. The overlap is a square On each side of this square is a smaller upright golden rectangle. The blue circle marks the center of the column.
| A Snapshot of Athena's Face
When the Horizontal Column is divided by axes into four equal rectangles, the two on the right provide a nice snapshot of Athena's face.
Athena's Portrait
Adding an identical rectangle at the top produces a perfect fit with the top of Athena's hat (or helmet). Her head is completely framed by the rectangles. The impression is that of a portrait.
Hatbox - The First Example of Moving a Rectangle to a Better Fit With the Head
The top two rectangles of Athena's portrait may be moved directly west to become a nearly perfect containing rectangle for Athena's hat - the Hatbox. During moving, some things in the head area are oberved to align with incredible precision (consider the magnification!) to the angles set by the (mother) star. For instance, the green line is a perfect limit for two turns in the engraved lines, one on the nose, and one just above the forehead. Later, we learn how to duplicate the below diagram within the geometric system.
Star-rays of Athena's Head
Repositioning the Great Pyramid over Athena's head will also explain the following remarkable phenomena.
a) The antennae above Athena's hat are rays emanating from one of the tips of the original star (the "Mother-star"). The tip is at the center of the circle. The tip is also the fulcrum for the long red line, whose passage through the image seems admirable to me. It is actually one of the star's lines, which has been nudged over the fulcrum so that it rests on points, as it exits the picture on one side, and near its exit on the other side. I think of this type of lines with a significant passage as "power-lines", equivalent to ley-lines in geographic descriptions.
b) The below enlargement gives an even better view of how the
directions set by the mother-star dominate the head area. Except for
the magenta line and one of the blue lines, all the others are in star
directions. The blue line, however, is at the always significant
30 degrees. We see some golden triangles, too. The circle centered
on the tip of the star obviously belongs, as well. Its transcendental
presence mesmerizes me. I count eight perfect instances of
the circle's harmonious integration with the image.
Lines a,b,c,d,e,f in various mutual combinations represent accurate components of pentagrams/pentagons. For those readers who still consider this order accidental, if not chaotic, may I recommend a little game? While measuring angles by eye, draw regular pentagrams; you may use a ruler to make your lines straight. The resulting angles will be utterly inaccurate in comparison to the engraving; that statement, as most will realize, is not a hypothesis.
I like the "a" line the most in this diagram, because it is a combination of two types of derived lines: one type follows an edge of an engraved line, the second type sets the ends of engraved lines, or limits turns in those lines. Line "g" next to "a" is a good example of the second type. Four red arrows mark the points of interest on "g".
Both lines are cast from the tip of the original star and hold 18 degrees between them, enough data for reconstruction in a CAD drawing. But what about the other lines like b, c, d, e? Where do they come from? Is there a geometrical "raison d'etre" for those lines?
Indeed, the answer is a "Yes," but it would be a "No" without the Giza plan, namely, the configuration of the Great Pyramid...
| More Harmony Between the Star and the Head
Diagram below: Altogether five parallel lines at 18 degrees to the horizontal are seen to stratify Athena's face. Three of these originate from the star and one from the center of the Horizontal Column (marked by a blue circle). The first, second, and fourth lines are impressive in that even up close they remain tangents to the engraved lines' edges. The origin of the top parallel, which passes through the top of Athena's forehead, is unknown for now, though it is a part of the system, obviously. That spot on her forehead must be extremely important, because it is a focus for various lines. Some are shown here later. Athena's chin, the outside edge of the engraved line there, is a magnet for a number of lines, too. For an example, I left the blue line fragment there (it comes from the 45-degree diagonal from the NE corner of the Horizontal Column). It also is a perfect tangent to the outside of the engraved line.
Another thing to see in this diagram - the two engraved lines meeting at the center of the star follow the star directions! One continues to be totally accurate as the southern limit of Athena's nose; the passage of the other line through the head is also significantly descriptive of the engraved elements.
|So I dragged the pyramid assembly along the track into the head area. Suddenly, there came a point when everything seemed to click into place, shown below. Somewhat later, I saw that the southwest bound diagonal of the pyramid had come microscopically close to the star's tip; so I nudged the pyramid to a new, and exact, position. Thus, the definition of the move for reconstruction purposes is simple: Slide the pyramid west until the SW bound diagonal finds the star's tip.
|The below digram
gives an even better view of the extraordinary
precision with which the engraving correlates to the given
geometry. Let's begin with the copy of the pyramid circle moved up
exactly 1/4 of the vertical axis of the pyramid. The yellow arc of this
circle is seen to, run within the engraved line of
the entire top of Athena's head for about a third of the circle's
circumference ; it tests both engraved edges perilously just microns
from breaking through to the other side. Admirably, it never does.
And an arc on the lower right of the same circle also nests on an engraved line.
Accuracy is also in effect in a number of other places in the digram. I've marked it by red arrows in some places, but there are other such places left unmarked here and in other diagrams, so readers should view the diagrams pro-actively.
Similarly, the inner pyramid circle is hemmed into place by lines on four sides, and it has some other points of accurate contact.
Moving the pyramid into its new location brings explanations to
some of the mysteries. Tthe pyramid's inner circle was given an inscribed pentagram.
Thereupon, it is seen that the south-west bound diagonal of the
Hat-box passes through the mid-point of the star's horizontal arm,
which means that the Hat-box move now stands defined.
Pushing the Hat-box's eastern side westwards until the Hat-box becomes square (magenta lines in the diagram below) ends in a major surprise. The eastern side ("a") becomes one with a previously observed perfect vertical alignment of points on Athena's head. Expanding the Hat-box into a larger square is also feasible (line "b").
Also worth noting is that two lines, one of the star and one of the associated pentagon, run from the top of the forehead (third-eye?) down to the tip of Athena's nose, all the while remaining entirely inside the engraved lines. Importance of the top of the forehead as a major hub, extrapolated from the frequency with which various geometric lines seek it out, was already mentioned here.
|Freezing this
particular frame from the Great Pyramid's passage through Athena's
head comes up roses; suddenly, it is seen why some significantly
oriented engraved lines are where they are, and where they should
appear in our geometric model. They are in sync with the
pyramid and its secondary elements, such as the inscribed and
circumscribed circles or pentagrams. The accuracy with which the ideas
are implemented here is siimply impecable. See the image
Line "a", we remember, originates from the tip of our "mother-star"; line "c" comes from a pentagram inscribed in the pyramid's circumcircle. Line "a" runs along the left edge of an engraved line. Line "c" runs parallel to it on the other side of the same engraved line. The two lines work in tandem.
On the image's left, "b" is a tangent to the outer circle of the pyramid. It coincides for some distance with the right edge of the helmet line.
The northern side of the pyramid is represented by "d".
On the image's right, "g" is a line of the pentagram inscribed here into the pyramid's outer circle. Intersection of "g" with the pyramid's inner circle creates a point on line "e", which gives us that line. Line "f" is a tangent to the inner circle of the pyramid. Like "a" and "c", "e" and "f" also work in tandem to give us both edges of the same engraved line.
Below: Line "a" and two lines of the red pentagon form a golden
triangle (a star's tip). Also in this diagram, the line "a" was
experimentally mirrored over the vertical axis of the pyramid. The
result revealed a strong symmetry of "a" with what is on the other
side. This is more evidence for the existence of the pyramidal
configuration in Athena's head.
Below: The two inscribed stars, especially, the golden star, are
quite spectacular as their lines help us pin-point various
locations on the head. The small red arrow points to one example
of such behaviour - a line of the goldenstar is a perfect tangent to
the tip of the forehead. The golden arrow marks another such perfect
tangent to the gap in Athena's hat. If one looks closely, there are
other such
instances here, as well.
Below: Arrows mark places which are of interest due to their
extraordinary accuracy in describing exact design. Some
are strategic; for instance, the pentagon at the junction of
"j" and "k" lines describes the end of an engraved line. Line "k"
then describes the engraved line's angle.
* The top two arrows draw attention to pentagon lines which limit the farthest expansion of the white space in that direction.
* The next arrow points downwards to where two star lines meet at the edge of an engraved line, thus giving us another piece of exact data for the engraving's description.
* The next two arrows point in opposite horizontal directions to where the star lines limit the reach of the white space.
* The next arrow down points to where the line "g" follows for some distance the edge of an engraved line.
* To the left of the last mentioned arrow, the letter "m" marks a junction of two engraved lines, perfectly described by two star lines, of which "g" is one.
* The bottom arrow points to where the line "h" limits the white space of the tip of Athena's nose.
The star configuration below is defined by the lines "a", "b", "s", and
"e". The first three lines belong to one of the pentagons
superscribing the outer circle of the pyramid. The line "e" is
made from the point at which a star line of the same pentagon crosses
the inner circle of the pyramid. Worth noting is how the little
star on top of Athena's head furthers the mapping of the engraved
antenna line.
Below, we have the star configuration from the preceding diagram
expanded over the whole engraving. Among other things, the
configuration's vertical axis of symmetry seems to find a strong echo
in the image.
Another interesting configuration. It is defined by the lines
"a", "b", and "d". The line "d" is the line of the top (north)
side of the pyramid.
|Athena's Head, the Pyramid's Base and Golden Rectangles
The square of the pyramid in Athena's head can be transformed into corresponding golden rectangles, larger and smaller. The diagram below is an example of that. A golden rectangle, whose longer side equals the pyramid's side, has been attached to the west and south of the pyramid, and the whole was completed into the large square. The square of the pyramid has also been divided into golden proportions,; the resulting formation is what I call a "Golden Cross." Extension of some of the lines then creates a golden cross for the entire big square, as well.
The benefits are as usual; we learn more about how to locate engraved lines with utmost accuracy by exact geometric procedures. For instance, the western side of the big square courses as one with the outer edge of the head's westernmost vertical line. This is also just a hair off the Hat-box's western side (reviewd earlier). There are other instances of order here, and I'll leave it up to the reader to find them in the diagram.
Thanks to the pyramid move, all in all, we have gathered a whole lot of
information on the head's plan, by now. I think the reader will agree.
Add what we learned about the head from other sources, however, and we have a veritable trasure-trove of data.
Next, a look at what these other sources bring to the reconstruction of Athena's head, and how these came to light. Then observations and conclusions which may seem implausible to you on their own, become plausible in the broader context, where they are reinforced through repetition.
Bread & Butter
To me, the below geometric configuration is the "Seal of Atlantis" because it is the basis of both Athena and the Nazca Monkey. I discovered it while studying the Athena Engraving. It has been real to me ever since; after all, I was the one involved in the process of discovery, the direct experience of which is invaluable to a better judgement, and in which others could not partake. The voices of authority, of course, are perennially skeptical, I'm sorry to say; however, the evidence continues to mount. The first to proffer support for my theory was "Nazca Monkey." You can imagine my jubilation on discovering that the Monkey is based upon the same template as Athena - the "Cone & Square." The "Cone" represents the original star, of course, the Mother-star in this article. As for the Square, it is the background against which the monkey teaches the "13-step" method of constructing a regular pentagram.
| Preliminary Conclusions
Moving the Great Pyramid configuration from its original location to the area of Athena's head proves to be tremendously instructive with regard to the head's structure and design ideas. Without this move, an accurate and detailed reconstruction of the head would be an insurmountable task. The astonishing productivilty of the pyramid move proves the objective existence of this part of the Giza groundplan to also be part of the Athena Engraving.
In contrast to the dynamic role of the Great Pyramid in the engraving, the Second Pyramid's presence appears rather sterile, at least so far. That pyramid merely claims its place by fitting into the engraving harmoniously, nevertheless, with great simplicity.
What about the Third (Menkaure) Pyramid as part of the engraving? Does it appear random, or does it have an orderly role?
The Third Pyramid
The Third pyramid shines not on its own, but rather as part of a larger order which emanates from it eastwards and southwards - a big golden rectangle. The diagram below shows the western half of that rectangle. The ground square of the Third Pyramid is at the top left, its corners marked by blue circles. Initially, looking at just the square, I had mixed feelings. The square falls into Athena's "pocket", which is an interesting, densely engraved area of the image, and the right side of the pyramid square ("a") runs for a short distance along the edge of an engraved line, but not much else to get enthusiastic about. Soon, though, I was one happy hunter as a modicum of effort had paid off handsomely.
* Extend the square's vertical axis ("b") and it runs along the edge of an engraved line for a distance, just like "a".
* The vertical lines ("c", "d") marking out golden rectagles in the square, one on each side, then run along with engraved line edges!
The pocket's vertical height is very close to being twice the square's height, so a twin square is added experimentally below the pyramid square.
* The line ("e"), which expands the two squares into a vertical golden rectangle, runs along with an engraved line's edge for quite a long distance!
* The line ('f"), which extends each of the squares into a horizontal golden rectangle, runs through an engraved line; it touches its edge once on each side without leaving the line.
Both styles of running with an engraved line, or lines, in order to delineate a geometric straight line, are valid methods. I've seen these methods at work countless times. Another valid method uses two or more points, ends of engraved lines, to delineate straight lines. We see this method at work on confirming the golden diagonal from the bottom right corner of the second square. Of the two chances to hit such points, this golden diagonal is on target twice, and with great accuracy! I suppose that it is a sign of consistency that the square's diagonal, which rises from the same origin, also contacts with a line end, making it two such points beside each other.
There is also a little green circle in this diagram, marked by the letter "g". A turn in the engraved line corresponds with it most admirably, and I find the fact fascinating. A green line on the left of the circle follows a very straight edge of an engraved line. It has the exact angle of a golden diagonal! This green line has an intersection with the pyramid square's top side. A vertical line from that point then marks the western limit of the pocket. This effect is admirably accurate, as well, considering the magnification - just the pocket itself approaches the whole image's lifesize.
|The complete golden rectangle maintains the spirit from
above. Top and bottom, its right side corners both have edges of
engraved lines passing through at an angle indistinguishable from
the angle of the golden diagonal (the green and yellow lines). The
passage of the third forward leaning diagonal in this half of the
rectangle is also ostensibly reflected by the image. The top right
corner also has the diagonal of a horizontal golden rectangle passing
through, directed there by the image, of course. The engraved
verticals also have corresponding system lines.
|Below is a magnified part of the above diagram.
|Diagram below: In addition to what we have already, other lines adhere to pentagram angles set by the Mother-star. These angles are as usually set by edges of engraved lines. Thus, majority of the engraved contents of the golden rectangle set by the Third Pyramid clearly correspond to the system (Giza layout and the Mother-star).
Athena's Star-spangled Head
The Great Pyramid is the key to unlocking secrets of Athena's head! The pyramid dominates her head/mind; the fact is clearly evident. In the beginning, we find the pyramid configuration partially inserted, perfectly positioned for a simple mechanical move directly west into Athena's head. Once inserted, a complete harmony ensues between the two, and we learn a lot about the head's design. Also involved is a surprising number of five-pointed stars (pentagrams), which are like crowns upon the head. The Great Pyramid's occupation of the upper half of the head is symbolic - the pyramid in union with Mind and Spirit. Athena's head is home to so many systematic relationships, it is clearly peerless in the world of science-art. Of course, vast majority of the fifteen-hundred engravings from La Marche has never been made available to the public; who knows, some of those may rival Athena.
Grafting the layout of the pyramids of Giza onto the geometric system of the Athena Engraving pays off big; it leads to understanding a good deal more of the engraving's geometric structure. The Great Pyramid is the main key to the geometry of Athena's head; the Third Pyramid controls a large golden rectangle in the area above Athena's knees. In contrast, the Second Pyramid doesn't trigger further geometric action; still, it does fit the engraving. Overall, the main purpose of this study stands answered: The Giza siteplan is clearly incorporated in the almost 15,000 years old Athena engraving. The powerful bond between the two cannot be broken. Thus, the Giza siteplan is as old as the Athena Engraving, if not older.
It follows that the Giza pyramids were in all likelihood built under the supervision of the "Agency", the one behind the Athena Engraving and the Nazca Monkey. The Agency must be the tip of an iceberg - a highly advanced prehistoric civilisation.
New questions arise:
Could the Giza pyramids be much older than we think, as old as their plans?
Is the Agency still active? Does it intervene in humanity's matters? In what way?
Who is Athena? What is the relationship between her and the Agency?
Finally, some of the many ancient mysteries, myths and legends are probably real echoes of the Agency. But which ones? The old stories feature Aliens and supernatural beings. Are those truly fictional?

Mac users seem to be easily divided into two groups. Those who love the latest and greatest version of OS X, now 10.10 Yosemite. And those who refuse to upgrade.
When Apple releases a new version of OS X inevitably there are Mac users who try it out, then want to switch back to whatever version they had before. I feel your pain. Change can be a bitch. A good example is the flat 2-D look in Yosemite. Some Mac users prefer the 3-D look of previous OS X versions.
Here's a way to get both the latest and greatest but have it look like a 3-D version of OS X from yesteryear. The utility app is called YosemiteRevert, and as you'd suspect, it merely gets rid of the flat 2-D icons and replaces them with 3-D icons (and, as well all know, future versions of OS X will more than likely revert back to 3-D and Apple's designers will call it a breakthrough design).
Out with the new, in with the old. Old 3-D icons replace the flat icons from OS X Yosemite, but on a flat Dock.
What YosemiteRevert does is simply swap out Yosemite's icons for OS X Mavericks icons. That includes icons for built-in apps, Menubar icons, Finder icons, the default folder icon, even icons in System Preferences.
The app is something of a work in progress and seems to improve with each iteration. The new version changes the OS X Yosemite system fonts to those used in Mavericks. Window backgrounds and buttons are not changed. Yet.
So, if you loved the look and feel of Mavericks, but have already upgraded to OS X Yosemite, YosemiteRevert can give you the best of both worlds for just a few bucks.

Thesiger's experience and knowledge of the Arabian region, heritage, backdrop and warfare was astounding. Before him, no other traveler – apart from the Bedu had dared to cross the hostile wastes.
ARABIAN SANDS is very precious narration about theimmeasurable will Thesiger possessed. Equally, he felt itto be his duty to pass on his knowledge to society. The book is one to lift the most damp spirits.
'A masterpiece…'
- Richard Holmes, The Times
'Wilfred Thesiger is perhaps the last, and certainly
one of the greatest of the British travelers among Arabs…'
- Sir John Glubbs, Sunday Times
'Following worthily in the tradition of Burton, Doughty, Lawrence, Philby and
Thomas, it is, very likely, the book about Arabia to end all books about Arabia.'

These camping stories are trips down memory lane, but they are also relating the Australian desire of getting out and discovering our country. Closest to our love of camping would be the USA, although caravans and camper trailers were and are not as popular as they are here.

Understanding Each Other
Perceptions of Accent and Authority Among Classroom Instructors At Queen's University
The Human Rights office in collaboration with the Public Service Alliance of Canada Local 901 (PSAC 901) and the Society of Graduate and Professional Students (SGPS), presents here the results of research aimed at determining if and how educator's accents affect teaching experiences at Queen's.
The research was conducted through an online survey, Understanding Each Other: Perceptions of Accent and Authority Among Classroom Instructors At Queen's University included questions about whether you believe accents affect instructor authority, whether you believe you have an accent (i.e. a manner of speaking that is significantly different from the local manner of speaking), whether you have experienced positive or negative reactions to your accent, whether you feel your authority in the classroom or teaching evaluations have been affected by your accent, etc. As part of the survey we also invited participants to submit anecdotal experiences on teaching with or without accents at Queen's. The survey was completely anonymous and was open to all educators at Queen's University (i.e. educators with or without an accent).
Included below are the findings from a research project on accent and authority among classroom instructors at Queen's University. The research project began in 2009 and concluded in 2015. Included in this research project was anyone who had teaching responsibilities in an academic department at Queen's University.
