Former Bad Boy artist Ma$e looks to be embarking on another stint with the label, as talks of him and Diddy reuniting have been heating up as of late.
Nothing has been set in stone in regards to a signing, but it has been reported that Ma$e is working on French Montana's upcoming album Excuse My French, and will serve as an A&R to the Bad Boys artists' debut.
"When contacted by Billboard, Ma$e's camp deflected questions about his future plans. Reps from Maybach didn't return calls for comment. According to Montana, Ma$e is serving as an A&R representative on Montana's forthcoming Bad Boy debut, 'Excuse My French,' as well as appearing on the remix of Montana's 'Everything's a Go.' 'I'm not sure what kind of decisions he's going to make. I would love to see him in my camp." (Billboard)
Most recently, Ma$e put to rest any talks of he and Diddy have problems with each other.
"Nah, we surprised each other. Diddy, it is Diddy. To this day, I tell people I don't have no issues with him. I think a lot of times we get put on the other side of each other, just because of history. He's one of the biggest contributors who ever gave to the church. We're probably cooler than I thought." (Hot 97)
Previously, Ma$e spoke on still being able to make music.

Air India to retrain 8,000 staff ahead of Star Alliance entry
Latest News »
New Delhi: Air India Ltd will retrain nearly 8,000 employees in preparation for joining the Star Alliance grouping by mid-September.
Star Alliance suspended its invitation to India's flag carrier in 2011, but renewed it in December after a unanimous vote in the backdrop of fresh momentum in the Indian aviation sector.
Etihad Airways PJSC of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) bought a stake in Jet Airways (India) Ltd and Tata Sons Ltd is in the process of launching a new airline with Singapore Airlines Ltd.
Joining Star Alliance means Air India passengers will be able to use Star's facilities like airport lounges, fly on a network of 21,900 daily flights to 1,328 airports in 195 countries and redeem air miles on airlines such as Deutsche Lufthansa AG, Singapore Airlines Ltd, Air China Ltd, Air Canada, United Airlines Inc., US Airways, TAM Airlines, Turkish Airlines and Thai Airways.
Air India will have to comply with certain rules set by Star Alliance to become a member.
"This includes training all the 8,000 front-line staff we have to the common standards of the Star member airlines," said an Air India official who declined to be named. "There would be separate training for back-end staff."
One of the conditions for the front-line staff, which includes crew members and check-in and airport lounge employees, is to ensure that they recognize frequent fliers and acknowledge them whenever they fly.
Air India will join Star Alliance this summer, the group's chief executive Mark Schwab said on Sunday, and the process of integration has started.
The entry could take place between May and September.
Schwab, who was in India over the weekend to meet Air India chairman Rohit Nandan and tour various airline and airport facilities, said the airline was invited again to join as it had completed a tough merger process and renewed its fleet.
The entry of a new airline in Star Alliance is usually accompanied by a lot of fanfare, with special Star Alliance aircraft flying into the country in the attendance of CEO's of all the Star member-airlines. Schwab indicated the same ceremony might take place in India given the importance of the market for Star Alliance.
Nandan said the entry will give Air India better brand value, and a bigger network which will eventually help in better revenue.
Nearly 37 million international passengers travel to and from India a year. Indian airlines, including Air India and Jet Airways, have a 33% share of this international traffic, while 17% is with West Asian airlines such as Emirates, Qatar Airways, Etihad and Air Arabia.
Star Alliance has a 13% share, while rivals OneWorld and SkyTeam have 8% each. The rest is with other international airlines that are not members of these groups, Mint reported on 28 August, citing an internal presentation discussed by Star in its June board meeting.
The challenges that were discussed at the June meeting included Jet Airways's closeness to Etihad, which will now route more India traffic through Abu Dhabi; Qatar Airways joining rival alliance OneWorld; and AirAsia Bhd launching an Indian unit.
Since then Tata Sons has announced that it will launch an airline with Singapore Airlines, a move that could divert traffic to the US and South-East Asia through Singapore, posing challenges for leading Star carrier Lufthansa.
Schwab did not comment specifically on Jet, to which Star had offered membership earlier, but said eventually the best product out of India will be chosen by the passenger. He said a second airline from India was welcome to join the Alliance but added Tata-SIA was not a natural choice. It could be any airline and a decision on it would be taken in future, he added.

Merry Christmas 2016: A Light Unto All Mankind

Merry Christmas 2016: A Light Unto All Mankind
Merry Christmas, 2016
"And unto you a child is born." With that promise Earth was given the promise of a light unto all men, a light that will lead us to our salvation if only we choose to accept that path.
Even if you are not a Christian, even if you're not especially religious, if you claim another religion or none at all, the path that Christ walked when he was born into this world is a path from which we can all learn. It is one worthy of study and acceptance even if only as an example of the best way to live. Christ's path is, indeed, a philosophy worthy of consideration for it is one based on service to your fellows, love for all, and a suppression of one's selfishness in order to pursue a higher calling.
What could be a better path, even for the non-religious?
So, as we celebrate this Christmas Day, the day meant to memorialize the birth of Christ, and as we head into 2017 let us all strive to work harder to be of service to our fellows. Let us engage in those random acts of kindness that makes everyone's lives so much more fulfilling–not to mention easier. Let us remember to say thank you to those who have done something for us and let us offer our own actions for others without expecting immediate repayment.
Let's try and leave this place a bit better off than we found it.
I want to thank each and every one of you for having been such wonderfully loyal readers and for you folks that have only been recent visitors, may you find a home here for the upcoming days. We hope to give you a Christmas gift that never stops giving here at Publius Forum.
May God Bless you all and enjoy the day with your family and friends.
Merry Christmas and, if you don't visit again before the end of the year, may you have a Happy New Year

I turned 17 in the summer of 1967. That summer I smoked my first joint at a Rolling Stones Concert in Hyde Park and walked barefooted through the hot streets of west London, wearing floral bell-bottomed trousers and a coat I'd made out of a silk tablecloth that had belonged to my grandmother, which had long tassels and small daisies embroidered in purple thread.
I was still officially living at home with my parents in the heart of the Shropshire countryside and one sweltering August afternoon I had to meet my mother, who'd come to town for the day, to join her on the train journey home. I hadn't slept for what seemed like days, I'd been up at the Round House listening to Jefferson Airplane and the Crazy World of Arthur Brown. I'd been smoking a lot of dope and I'd gone home with the manager, who wore a beautiful blue velvet jacket and drove a matching coloured Saab. I'd been meeting up with some Peruvian radicals in the Troubadour Cafe to help plan a Vietnam march. To my mind, there was no contradiction between the two worlds. My head was full of thoughts of drugs, revolution, the words of Che Guevara and the psychedelic visions of Aldous Huxley.
And my mother went ballistic about my feet.
Standing in Paddington station, the commuter traffic streaming past us - anxious then as now to catch the train to take them home to their suburban life (then my idea of hell) - my mother ranted and raved about the disgrace of walking through London with dirty feet. I remember looking at her, not upset, not angry, just full of sympathy that she didn't get it.
It was a whole new world, as I saw it, freed from bourgeois shackles. The aim of the counterculture was to shake up the existing situation, to change the world of the pinched grey people who lived grey lives in grey bedrooms. We wanted to elevate non-material values through the global power of rock'n'roll, and we believed we could do this through drugs, music, having fun, hanging out. Rules were simple: there were good guys and bad guys, the narcotics police were bad, governments were bad, war was bad, the mainstream media was bad. Under the powerful vibes of the good people all these would somehow fade away.
It was extraordinary arrogance, but we thought that we would be responsible for a moral advance that would match the technological advances of the previous hundred years. And I was having fun, more fun than I could remember, and I couldn't see why it wouldn't last for ever, and I couldn't see why it couldn't be communicated and shared by everyone, including, in that instance, my mother, fretting on the station concourse in a neat blue suit, white blouse and high heels. She may even have been wearing a hat.
My first job was on an underground newspaper called Frendz. We operated from a chaotic office which spanned two floors of a run-down terrace at the top of the Portobello Road. Out on the street, jokers and pranksters with beads, bells and mantras riffled through tatty bargains and baubles on the street stalls. We never had any money and as one holding company went broke, we'd create another, changing the magazine from Friends to Frendz to keep within the law. Donations came in the strangest shapes: one day a woman arrived with a dirty white handbag stuffed with five pound notes which she proceeded to throw around the office like Kleenex. She needed somewhere to stay and installed her own set of old rusty bed springs under a window, where she lay, naked and exposed, while the office bustled by around her. The contents of her bag paid the print bills, but how we all actually survived is a mystery I cannot fathom to this day. We lived well, but my pay fluctuated between £5 and £10 a week.
We had a naive belief in our right to do things and to do things big. Earlier in the decade, because Allen Ginsberg happened to be in town, it was decided to rent not just a small local community centre but the Albert Hall to stage a poetry reading, The time from idea to event was a mere 10 days. RD Laing, the counterculture hero, brought all the schizophrenic patients from his clinic along to the gig in the belief that poetry might inspire them. At the launch of IT magazine, Britain's first underground newspaper, Paul McCartney came dressed as an Arab. The party was held in the Round House and someone had made a giant jelly using a bathtub as a mould. Pink Floyd's van ran into it before the party even began, leaving sticky liquid oozing across the floor.
We published the magazine every fortnight, pulling together a disorganised collection of stories, reports, jokes and cartoons. Why was the Reading Festival such a disaster (The police? The site? The rain? The faulty PA system?) What was the current world price of dope? And where could you find the best stuff? Where were the latest Vietnam protests taking place? What on earth were auras? Frendz had been started by my then boyfriend, the lexicographer Jonathon Green, and a South African called Alan Marcuson. The original designer was Barney Bubbles, who had been to San Francisco and met the Grateful Dead, which gave him instant street cred. Barney would disappear every week or so, rucksack on his back, and vanish into the countryside, where he'd drop an enormous amount of acid.
People would appear and disappear. Stanislav Demidjuk, a vision in brown leather, a silver belt and an Australian accent, showed up one day and persuaded Alan and Jonathon that blowing up the Paddington Green Police Station was necessary for the Revolution. They all climbed into a cab to carry out the task, but en route Stan stopped off to visit Richard Branson, with whom he'd fallen out over the political direction of Student Magazine (Branson's first business venture). A fight ensued and the mission was abandoned.
I couldn't type so I was given an editorial job. I wrote short pieces, helped lay out pages and one day, six weeks into the job, I was handed a tape recorder and told to get along to the Apple offices in Savile Row to interview John and Yoko. Yoko's book Grapefruit had been disastrously reviewed and England's most famous couple needed soothing words from the underground press. Yoko talked non-stop, small and fierce under her wild black hair, while I worried that the tape recorder wouldn't work. I wanted to talk to John about the Sergeant Pepper album: there was a hippy belief that if you read the album cover upside down, you could discover the secret phone number of the Beatles. By chance, the numbers actually led callers to the Guardian's night newsdesk, which took calls from around the world asking how John and Paul were doing. Had this been part of the plan, I wondered. When I finally managed to break through Yoko's monologue, John looked at me over his famous wire-rimmed spectacles and mumbled, 'Yeah, cool, man, really cool.'
By the time I arrived at Frendz in 1970 the glory days were almost over. In the middle of the Sixties the various factions - spiritual, political, psychedelic and radical - had managed to combine their differences, united in a belief that change, any change, was better than the status quo. By the end of the decade the more radical camps were in ascendance, the hippies with their love and peace life style consigned to a back water. Laid back, in the end, had meant losing out, and the hippy philosophy, which eschewed commercialism, paved the way for the culture's own demise.
When the establishment saw the commercial potential in health food, country-style furniture and kaftans, and produced Laura Ashley and Terence Conran, the hippies thought it was a good joke. Especially laughable was the news that cigarette companies had taken out patents on the brands of dope they intended to sell when marijuana was legalised. In the Frendz office we were visited increasingly by people with political axes to grind: IRA activists, the Black Panthers, the black radical Hakim Jamal, author of From the Dead Level (he was later shot in a gangland killing in Boston). In the winter of 1970 a group of women came who proposed that Frendz should publish a women's issue.
Over that autumn, Angie Weir and Hilary Creek were in and out of the office. For me, it was a revelation. The counterculture had championed change of every kind, but the role of women hadn't changed. Women still made the tea and did the typing: only now they were also expected to have sex with anyone who wanted it: to refuse was uncool and, God forbid, acting like a straight. Richard Neville, the editor of Oz, was quoted as saying, 'You can fuck any time, but ask a girl to make Ovaltine?'
Once the issue had gone to the press, Angie and Hilary disappeared. I saw them next in the Old Bailey where they were facing charges related to the Angry Brigade bombings. Biba had been blown up while the Frendz women's issue was going to press. They called me as a witness, but since I kept no diary and thus couldn't recall the dates accurately enough to provide an alibi, I wasn't much use and they were sent down for eight years.
The women's issue changed my life. Even though in 1969 the International Times, Britain's oldest underground paper, was condemning Miss World, the counterculture remained as male-dominated as the rest of British society. Mecca and Miss World were neat symbols of big business, capitalism and plastic living. The editors could sigh complacently because they weren't asking their girlfriends to parade around in swimsuits - but they weren't encouraging them to become reporters either. By 1970 feminism was becoming fashionable, but in Richard Neville's book, Playpower, the closest the index came to mentioning the women's movement was the 'Female Fuckability Test.' With Marsha Rowe, an Australian working on Oz magazine, I organised a series of meetings for women who worked in the underground press. A calm start soon gave way to animated disclosures about abortions, orgasms and humiliations at work. By the end of the third meeting we'd decided to start a magazine.
Spare Rib was launched in the summer of 1972. I was 21 and Marsha was 28. We had £3,000 in the bank and some old furniture we'd acquired from the offices of INK, a weekly paper that promised to bring a political edge to the counterculture, but collapsed into bankruptcy in under six months. No one thought we had a chance, but the time was right, the cash somehow kept appearing, and Spare Rib went on to publish for the next 20 years, helping to shape and define the feminist debate that has so changed British culture.
Would it have happened without the underground press? Probably, but not so soon and not on so few resources. The culture may have been flaky, but it allowed us to believe that anything was possible. The arrogance that helped bring about the counterculture's demise gave us an extraordinary sense of confidence. Looking back, it is hard to believe that at 21, I thought I had the right to publish a magazine which challenged the very heart of Western social structures. We used to call the established media the straight press and, much to our delight, they took us seriously. Feminism became the first cause which genuinely crossed the divide as it established itself in Britain.
Today, the original feminist beliefs of sisterhood, tolerance and a better world for both the sexes are all but forgotten, except on the net, where blogs unite women living in societies where they have no rights. Our Sixties equivalent of the 'straight press' is now known as 'dead-tree media'. The counterculture in the Sixties came about in response to a need and it is clearly still here today.

LOCKS, Giovani de Figueiredo and ALMEIDA, Maria Cristina Simões de. Priming dose of atracurium: measuring orbicularis oculi muscle fade and tracheal intubation conditions. Rev. Bras. Anestesiol. [online]. 2003, vol.53, n.6, pp.720-727. ISSN 0034-7094. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0034-70942003000600003.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The priming principle consists of administering a low neuromuscular blocker dose, minutes before the total dose for tracheal intubation, to shorten non-depolarizing blockers onset. There is, however, the risk for muscle fade and bronchoaspiration. Laryngeal muscles are of especial interest for tracheal intubation maneuvers and airway protection. Since their direct monitoring imposes technical difficulties, it has been reported that orbicularis oculi correlates with laryngeal muscles in terms of sensitivity to neuromuscular blocks. This study aimed at evaluating the presence of orbicularis oculi muscle fade after priming atracurium dose and at comparing clinical tracheal intubation conditions after two priming dose intervals. METHODS: Participated in this study 35 adult patients, physical status ASA I or II, without risk factors for bronchoaspiration and submitted to elective surgeries. General anesthesia was induced with alfentanil and propofol and patients were manually ventilated under mask. Surface electrodes were then positioned on the temporal branch of the facial nerve, and the acceleration transducer was placed on the orbicularis oculi. Priming atracurium dose (0.02 mg.kg-1) was administered and T4/T1 ratio was evaluated every minute during 5 minutes in 20 cases (G1) and during 7 minutes in 13 cases (G2). After this interval, complementary atracurium dose (0.5 mg.kg-1) was administered and tracheal intubation was performed one minute later. Fade was defined as T4/T1 ratio below 0.9. RESULTS: There has been no fade in any patient during the monitoring interval. In 80% and 69% of G1 or G2 patients, respectively, tracheal intubation was classified as clinically acceptable (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Priming atracurium dose (0.02 mg.kg-1) does not determine orbicularis oculi fade and there is no difference between 5 or 7 minutes priming intervals.

Download Freedom Loving Ogg File – Download Freedom Hating mp3 File
We've found our stride and we're on a roll, back with an excellent show – maybe our best yet – utilising our freedom of speech (before it disappears completely) and featuring stories from the UK and around the world that we're not seeing anywhere else…
But, first, Morgan, the big sausage-muncher, returns from the land of the bratwurst with Germanic tales of bed etiquette and fireworks, before detailing his less pleasant experience in London, capital of the Surveillance State, where he's had his face scanned and his particulars well and truly checked. NotMorgan, who's had a far more 'chilled out' Christmas, recounts and recommends some Christmas viewing and listening.
Then, using clips from UK rapper Akala and film maker Adam Curtis, Morgs frames this episode and a large part of our raison d'etre: navigating the confusing and often contradictory messages we are fed by elites, politicians and the mainstream media in order to keep us confused, divided and acquiescent.
We start with the US Senate Report on the CIA's 'Enhanced Interrogations Program'. Horrific tales of torture on detainees, including at least 26 people held 'in error': detainees chained standing for 17 days, waterboarded, 'rectally fed' and being left to die on a cold, concrete floor. We thought it was the terrorists who were supposed to have 'terror camps'? Then, somewhat contradictorily, an 'unnamed Whitehall official' gives us the scary headline that "a Jihadi attack on the UK is almost inevitable", whilst the UK's 'most senior Police Officer' tells Sky that he thinks it's "unlikely". I'm reminded of the Kasabian line (possibly paraphrasing the great Bill Hicks) "I am told the world is nearly ending, but when I look outside the birds are always singing". Not for long maybe, as another 'top UK cop' warns that we're heading to a 'police state' run by 'securocrats' like himself.
NotMorgan looks at the rapidly worsening situation in Sweden, as a law is passed criminalising 'insulting'. Bizarrely, though, only immigrants, minorities and Government officials can be insulted… the Swede's themselves don't have the same 'protection'! And protection seems to be what they need as Sweden now has the second highest rape statistics in the world, with the chance of being raped apparently now 1 in 4. Trying to discuss any correlation between the rise in rape statistics and the rise in immigration is a definite no-no however, as Swedish MP Michael Hess found out when he was successfully prosecuted for 'hate crimes' for doing just that. A Swedish school takes down its flag, and the whole nation, it seems, is expected to raise another: the flag of surrender, as the Swedish peoples' rights are further swept away.
Morgan looks at the insanity of Black Friday (not racist) coming to the UK, and notMorgan mentions white Ferguson protestors being told not to join in the cringe-worthy, submissive chant of "Hands up, don't shoot" because of their 'white privilege' (which is racist). The problem, in notMorgan's eyes, is not 'white police versus black youths', but rather an increasingly militarised police force versus all our rights. In a quick 'racism round-up', we support Italian striker Mario Balotelli, a man often targeted by racists, and his making an anti-racist, funny post that resulted in him being punished for being… racist, and we look at a 'potentially racially offensive object': Cilla, the knitted gorilla. We also have a good laugh as a Fox commentator fervently, and somewhat mistakenly, describes Birmingham (the UK's second largest city) as a Muslim-controlled 'no-go' area.
And then, what's the price of clean water? A poorly-looking Bill Gates drinks water recovered from human excrement, and notMorgan learns of the Nestle CEO's position, which appears to be that water being a human right is 'an extreme position'. Morgs looks at the numbers of UK people on prescription medicine: "Too many medicines and not enough health", and notMorgs looks at Age UK's report that predicts that one UK pensioner will die every 7 minutes from cold or, rather, the prohibitive cost of heating. We also look at child abuse in The Scouting Association, and, entirely unrelated, ponder the 'sounds of sodomy' ostensibly emanating from County Wicklow.
In the very contradictory world of climate change, we look at two new factors reportedly affecting it: trees taking in more CO2 than first thought, and the role of the arctic ground squirrel (yes, really). How much more data isn't in the already-under-attack models that we've been working with? Like a dog with a bone, Morgan's back on the 'FireIce' news: Japan has a 100 years' worth of it, and we may be able to use CO2 to reduce the more problematic methane from being released into the atmosphere.
NotMorgan recounts the story of Natalie Rowe, the former dominatrix 'Miss Whiplash', her involvement with our unelected Tory Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne, and his alleged taking of cocaine. Was her story in the 'News of the World' glossed over by then editor Andy Coulson, who went on to become David Cameron's high-paid Communications Director? Are home-raiding police being used as bullyboys for the politicians and elites? Does having a weird, wide-eyed stare necessarily mean that you're on drugs? We invite our listeners to make up their own minds in the links below :)
Speaking of drugs: in GM news, as George Soros' Drug Policy Alliance does much to promote the legalisation of cannabis around the world, we look at his connections with Monsanto, and their access to cannabis data. NotMorgan wonders whether the legalisation movement is being unknowingly manipulated by wealthy backers with dark motives, who stand to make a fortune from genetically-engineered, coded marijuana. We applaud the stance of Russia who, after banning the cultivation of GM products in July last year, have now banned the import of GM products too. Trying desperately to catch up, the US apparently now have an anti-GM petition with over 59 million signatures. And then, as one researcher genetically alters plants to react to the presence of TNT, we look at the possibility of today's intimidating airport security being replaced by a pleasant walk through a genetically-engineered bomb-detecting plant garden.
Morgan reports on an Equifax-owned company winning the contract to collect B£22.6 in taxes and other funds, despite Equifax using loopholes to avoid paying UK taxes themselves. And, after our reporting on the House of Lords Digital Skills Committee last episode, Morgs finds that the average age of the Lords puts them well and truly into the 'couldn't care less about IT' camp, and reveals that their true interests lie far more in protecting the 4,000 bottle stash of champagne they consume annually at the taxpayer's expense.
Saturnalia may have been and gone but, in our round-up of tech news, new inventions and gadgets, notMorgan offers four new 'innovations' to choose from: DARPA's EXACTO direction-changing bullet (reminding us of the JFK Warren Commission's 'Magic Bullet'), an apparently legal THC-free cannabis e-cigarette, a Pavlovian electric shock wristband (for the wrist or testes!) and another wrist-worn device that allows you to shoot 'fireballs' from your hands. We also look at the genetic-analysis company '23andMe' operating in the UK, despite its FDA problems in the US, and ponder the possible negative effects of being told "you have an 'x' percent chance of having some particular health problem" in a world where the role of placebos, nocebos and the unconscious mind are largely ignored. We discuss the idea of chopping off the (possibly, one day) 'bad bits', compared to listening to your body and caring for your health holistically. Also, building on our earlier reporting of the possible harmful effects of 3D and virtual reality, ANSES (the French agency for food, environment and occupational health) are now recommending 'only occasional use' of 3D for the under-13s and a complete ban for those under six. Morgan looks at Canipre, a Canadian anti-piracy company, being caught 'pirating' others' work, and a listener gets in touch to detail receiving their first of the UK's new 'you've been naughty' letters regarding sharing copyrighted material.
Even though he doesn't use it, NotMorgan's contracted 'social media sickness', his version being that he's sick of the social media companies that invade our privacy, and the short-sighted, self-obsessed users who happily give it away whilst snapping a selfie. Facebook develops a new 'anti-embarrassing images' feature, whilst UK MPs want them to simplify their user agreements, be transparent over how they collect, use and sell your data, and to let you know when they're secretly activating your microphone and camera. They're asking for a voluntary code which, of course, no-one will abide with. In 'selfie sickness', the wife of a UK MP apparently has 900 people waiting for the perfumed selfie photographs she sells on eBay, and an Indian boy ends up electrocuted, with 90% burns to his body. This is as Ohio State University finds that men who post a lot of selfies are more likely to be narcissistic and have more psychopathic tendencies, and a whole host of other potential problems. One reports' statistics on young children sending naked pictures of themselves saddens us, particularly when 24% of those questioned had had a naked picture of them shared with others without their consent. And, in usual form, someone tweets a poor joke (this time about the Glasgow bin lorry that killed six) and finds himself arrested. All standard fare in the silly world of social media.
As we draw to a close, NotMorgan details the number of safety incidents reported by UK high-security laboratories that deal with viruses and bacteria, including many of the 'It's going to kill us all!' variety. Reports of live Anthrax and other highly-dangerous, infectious diseases being sent in error. And also the latest from Pirbright: all the promises of "it'll never happen again" following the Foot and Mouth outbreak of 2007 weren't enough to prevent Pirbright from pleading guilty to eight recent safety breaches, once again involving Foot and Mouth Disease.
And it wasn't just the miners that Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher wanted rid off – she also apparently wanted to ban sex toys. Now, her modern counterparts have been 'getting involved' with UK-produced porn, banning some acts but, bizarrely, not others, in a move which some women are calling sexist. And, finally, notMorgan reads from the UN report on Afghanistan's opium production, which has risen for the third year in a row. Although the report claims that Afghanistan is responsible for 80% of the world's heroin, this cultivation and production, right under the noses of US forces, is being entirely actively and officially encouraged by the US, as described in the UN report. Doesn't that seem a little odd? We close with the dangers of drugs, looking at what happens to reporters who stand 'too close to the fire'.
All this plus Christians with Santa spoilers; reading for the incarcerated; mushrooms at the Palace; Kazakhstan sleepers; Argentinian werewolves; and Chilean rimjobs. We even manage to find a space for Zlata, the Russian contortionist, to fit into. We end, as always, with creative commons music; this episode's being chosen from the excellent tunes of ToucanMusic.com.
And there you have it: crazy, contradictory and confusing stories, just as we warned you at the outset. What's really crazy, of course, is that this is all intentional. We hope that by giving you our take on these stories, and introducing you to others that you might not have been aware of – all hopefully whilst providing a little levity along the way – that we're doing our part to help you ward off the negative, mind-numbing, confused state that the mainstream media often engenders.
We've put a lot of work into this: another four-hour episode, absolutely bursting with humour and the kind of open-minded, questioning reporting on important issues that you'll never find in the mainstream media. Please show us that you like what we're doing and want us to continue, by getting involved with the show and giving us some value in return for the value you're receiving. We discuss the many ways you can help contribute to the show (not just with financial donations) to make it better for you, the listeners. We want every listener to get in touch, so please do!
Until next time, best wishes to you all – enjoy the show!

Guard at Aarey Milk Colony bitten by snake that rarely bites people
Incident occurred on Sunday morning after Sandeep Shankar Wavhal failed to spot the snake that was resting on the iron gate. Experts said snakebite cases related to bamboo pit viper are rare
A government security guard posted at the Central Poultry Development Organisation at Aarey Milk Colony was bitten by a bamboo pit viper on Sunday morning, while he was checking whether the building's main gate was locked or not.
Sandeep Shankar Wavhal recuperating at the BMC-run trauma centre on the WEH in Jogeshwari (East), where he was rushed to after being bitten by a bamboo pit viper on Sunday morning
The incident occurred around 7.45 am after Sandeep Shankar Wavhal failed to spot the snake that was resting on the iron gate. Experts said snakebite cases related to bamboo pit viper are rare.
An eyewitness to the incident said, "Sandeep reported to work at 7 am and around 7.45 am, he went to check the main gate as usual. Suddenly, a green-coloured snake lunged at Sandeep and bit him on the left thumb. I was right behind him. I killed the snake in self-defence or else it would have bitten me as well."
The main gate of the Central Poultry Development Organisation at Aarey Milk Colony on which the snake was resting
Soon after the bite, Wavhal started showing signs of dizziness and even complained of losing consciousness. His left thumb was swollen. Immediately, the other staffers informed the volunteers of Spreading Awareness on Reptiles and Rehabilitation Programme (SARRP), who have been attending snake calls at this centre regularly.
Wavhal was rushed to the nearest BMC-run trauma centre on the Western Express Highway in Jogeshwari (East). He was immediately administered antivenom and is said to be out of danger. But, the doctors have kept him under observation. Kaushalendra Dubey, SARRP volunteer said, "People believe that a bamboo pit viper is a mildly venomous snake, but in reality, its venom is haemotoxic.
It is powerful enough to paralyse the bitten part of the body. However, a bite from the bamboo pit viper is a rare occurrence."After Sunday's incident, the other guards have started taking extra precautions and are using gumboots while patrolling at night.
Speaking to this reporter, Kedar Bhide, a known expert on snakes, said, "A bite from the bamboo pit viper is uncommon, despite it being quite common around the SGNP periphery. But cases of trekkers in the Sahyadris, snake rescuers and villagers being bitten by this snake aren't unheard of. It was quite nfortunate that the security guard was bitten by this snake."
He also asserted that though the normal polyvalent antivenom can not be used as an antidote for this snake, no fatalities have yet been reported due to a bamboo pit viper bite. He explained that, generally, only swelling of the bitten area and a few common snakebite symptoms are seen.

I have found a lot of information about squares, but not much about semi-square.
Can someone clarify what semi-squares are and how to interpret these?
Semi-square is recognized in astrological community as the aspect of frustrations and irritations. Semi-square tests your endurance, persistence and patience. It brings obstacles and rigid mindset in your way, making it more difficult for you to adapt to new or different situations. Sometimes you just need to stay flexible and find other solutions. An orb of less than 3 degrees is recommended.
I have personally few of those. One is "Mercury semi-square Saturn". This is the description from our In-Depth Natal Report (you can order here the descriptions of your Semi-squares and other minor aspects (the free Chart Essence doesn't have this feature):
"Your mind moves slowly and carefully, and you make no decisions until you have reviewed all the relevant possibilities. Even then, you move cautiously. Fearing to be wrong, you would almost rather not act at all than do anything that might cause others to judge you negatively. This forces you to be very thorough at whatever you do. In many situations this can be a great gift. It can also, however, limit your life and keep you in a rut. Occasionally giving yourself permission to be wrong can open up a world of new possibilities."
And it's very true. I just hate to be wrong, or perceived as a person who is wrong. Of course I can overcome it, but it just slows me down. It's fortunate that I have some trines to Mercury, that makes it also little easier.
Here this is the glyph for semisquare:
[I have found a lot of information about squares, but not much about semi-square] So,this should be telling you something? yes, the reason for this is its NOT a major Ptolomic aspect and I don't even use them as they are considered minor in effects.
basic natal aspects
quintiles and bi quintiles are minor aspects that can show hidden creativity
quindecile aspects are used by famous astrologer Noel Tyl in his midheaven extension process and although a minor aspect it does seem relevant.
hope this helps

Welcome back!! Would you like to meet two more of our fabulous team members? Well, you're in luck as today we meet, bnazar and mythicalmatters.
Brigitte, of bnazar, is one of the team's newest members. Located in Startford, Ontario, Brigitte uses buttons as her chosen medium for creating wonderful jewellery, magnets and wine charms.
And with a big turkey feast in many of our sights, Brigitte offers up her Grandma Davidson's Sage Dressing. She assures us: whether it's used as stuffing or cooked in a foil packet beside the bird the smell and taste are irresistible. Even to the vegetarians in my family. It even won in a Thanksgiving dressing cook off with one of my close friends. Grandma Davidson's Sage Dressing For 4 cup. My Mum makes approximately 1 cup for each pound of turkey. 4 cups soft crumbs 1/4 cup butter (or less) 1/2 cup chopped celery 1/4 cup chopped onion 1 tsp salt 1/8 tsp pepper 1 tsp sage Melt the butter. Add the celery, onion and seasonings. Cook until onions are soft. Add to crumbs 2 or 2 tbsp at a time. Use as stuffing or bake at 325F for an hour in foil. Variations: My Mum uses white crumbs and finely chops the veggies. I prefer whole wheat or rye and a more coarsely chopped mix. Both are delicious!
Thanks for sharing, Brigitte.
Next we meet Storm and Shadow of MythicalMatters. Hailing from Toronto, Ontario, MythicalMatters is home to bath and body products, as well as room sprays.
Storm and Shadow have provided us today with a brief lesson on where some of our favorite traditions originated:
While we were developing our Smells Like A Christmas Tree Spray we sought out as much as we could about the ancient history of the Christmas tree. This involved collecting as many books as we could and now we're quite thrilled to share with you a custom from Ancient Europe that sure sounds like a Christmas tree to us! During winter solstice the ancient Druids would do a wonderful thing. They would head out into the forest and find some wonderfully majestic oaks and firs. With what we imagine was a night full of magic and ritual, they would proceed to tie apples upon apples to the branches of oaks and firs as a thank you to the god Odin for his blessings to them throughout the year. Good for them for showing some gratitude! They would also make cakes shaped like fish, birds and other animals, and leave them as offering around the trees. This would probably really help out the local fauna in the dead of winter when food is so scarce - so it's win win! And finally, in the midst of the frozen night, they would fill the boughs of the trees with lighted candles for the god Balder. What a wonderful way to spend the solstice - on December 21, we're going to find a tree in the forest, and decorate it with food for our local animals. Can't think of a better tree trimming night! (The Solstice Evergreen, by Sheryl Ann Karas)

FEED: When my little family and I lived in New Britain, CT almost 30 years ago, in what was clearly the ghetto part of that otherwise-rich place, I got a chance to get away for a bit. We had three tiny kids at the time, all under the age of 5, and we were planning to move to Virginia. My then-husband had already been there scouting places to rent, and he suggested that I go, that he would stay with our kids.
This was such a glorious thing—just me, after such terrible hardship, a solo road trip (and I adore road trips). And not only that, I would drive through New York City for the first time in my life. I left around 4am, I think, and as I came down through the scary (to me then, and in the dark) Bronx and went over the beautiful George Washington Bridge, with all of Manhattan spreading out to my left, this song came on the radio.
It was popular at the time and I really loved it, and I think it probably came on the radio a dozen times on the 6.5-hour drive, or at least it felt that way. So even now, when I hear the song I just get filled with the same soaring sense of freedom, and the lyrics poke at me too. If you wanna make the world a better place, you've got to look at yourself and make a change. Lots to think about there. But at the moment I am just being fed by the beat and urgency of the song, and by the memories it holds for me.
SEED: Over the last couple of very easy years of my life, I've often written about feeling the complacency of it, and about wanting to use that easy time to challenge myself, to get out of my comfort zone, maybe to learn something new.
Well. Then the presidential campaign came along and all that ease went away, and now the fact that he's in office and trying to destroy everything — no more complacency here, or anywhere else. As it all started unfolding, I often felt so many levels of terrible, including some inner levels, some frustration and personal hopelessness: I don't know what to do! I don't know how to do anything about any of this! I'm not an organizer! I don't know anything about lobbying, I don't know how to do any of this! I don't know how the details of the government work! How can I / what do I / where do I / I can't!
At one of the marches a speaker said something about this, that it doesn't matter if we don't know what to do, learn how to do it. It's all learnable. Dig in, investigate, read, ask, poke around, assume roles, make things happen! I had to keep reminding myself of that because it's not my instinct at all. Hell, after I had already made a sophisticated quilt by hand I thought I didn't know how to quilt so I took a beginner's quilting class. THAT IS SO ME.
It has been very frustrating, having all those feelings going on at the same time the frustration and fears about what was happening in the government were so overwhelming. It was just too much, too many sources of fear and upset, and yet there was nothing to do but keep flailing in the muck.
Yesterday I realized that I've learned a lot. I have really gotten somewhere with how to do these things. It's less confusing, it's less impossible-feeling. I have yet to organize a march, and still wouldn't even know how to begin, but I do now know that I could figure it out. My understanding of things has become more sophisticated. I've paid attention somehow, in the midst of all the overwhelm.
And so this terribleness was also an opportunity, as terribleness usually is. And I guess the other thing about terribleness opportunities is that no matter how many times you go through that process, the terribleness feels so terrible that you can't remember the opportunity part. That's true for me, anyway. I'm by no means anywhere with it except to say that I've noticed the opportunity of it now. There is a very real ALIVENESS to being confused, to doing something new, to having to figure out a new language and new modes and slowly seeing that you have changed as a result.
READ: My friend George gave me a daily Zen calendar for Christmas — the only Christmas gift I received, actually — and as I pulled off all the days' pages that passed while I was in NYC, two caught my attention:
"Nothing is more real than nothing." ~Samuel Beckett
"Just try to feel your own weight, in your own seat, in your own feet. Okay? So if you can feel that weight in your body, if you can come back into the most personal identification, a very personal identification, which is: I am. This is me now. Here I am, right now. This is me now. Then you don't feel like you have to leave, and be over there, or look over there. You don't feel like you have to rush off and be somewhere." ~Bill Murray
That Beckett is so Beckett, right? It's the kind of thing you can say to yourself and then pause to see what it means and then just get kind of lost. Is nothing real? Is there a realness to nothing? AAARGH! And I don't know if the second quote is by that Bill Murray, but doesn't it just give you a sense of calm?
I'm off to babysit wee Lucy this morning, so my day is off to a great start, and I hope you have something wonderful in your day too. xoxox

It was a case of unfair welfare. KHON2's Always Investigating report was the first to tell you about a state welfare worker who took home tens of thousands of dollars in benefits she shouldn't have. It all happened right under the state's nose while she worked as a welfare eligibility worker at the Department of Human Services.
On Tuesday, Diane Gorospe-Leong received her sentence. She'll serve five years on probation and pay a fine on top of restitution for the money.
Gorospe-Leong was working for the state as a welfare eligibility worker when the state says she got caught with more than $27,000 in welfare overpayments. She was charged with first-degree felony theft.
"I just want to say sorry for all the time spent on this and this will never happen again," she said at her sentencing Tuesday.
She's already paid back the debt, her attorney says she got a loan to do so.
"There is no evidence that she's buying luxuries, no evidence that she's buying drugs or alcohol or that she's using this money for anything other than her children," defense attorney Marcus Sierra told the court.
Her punishment is a $5,000 fine on top of the money already repaid, 250 hours of community service, and no welfare eligibility for her for a year. She pled no contest, but will have her record wiped clean if she stays out of trouble while on probation for the next five years.
"We're disappointed that the judge granted the deferral, but we agree that she did not have a prior criminal history," said Deputy Attorney General Vince Kanemoto, representing the state.
While she's paid her debt back, the state is still trying to recover tens of millions in welfare overpayments from 18,000 debtors. Last year when Always Investigating revealed that $48 million unfair welfare balance, Rep. John Mizuno readied two bills for this session (HB1891 and HB1892). They're already shelved.
One would have helped fully staff the investigations unit to bust the frauds; the other, to speed up the pace of payment recovery.
"Both are dead at this moment," Mizuno said. "It doesn't preclude us from putting in a line item for more positions for the investigations office at the DHS to help recover the outstanding overpayment… It's not over yet."
DHS itself has asked for one more investigator position in this session's budget bill, and they're recruiting for four vacant investigative office positions.
As for that second bill pushing for a faster pace of repayment once caught, "when it's between $40 million and $50 million of taxpayers' money, we need to maximize recovery," Mizuno said.
Gorospe-Leong has made full restitution of her debt, but the court is letting her pay the $5,000 fine at $25 a month, which adds up to nearly 17 years at that rate.
Those caught with overpayments blame parts of the system itself. Gorospe-Leong's attorney says she wasn't trying to under-report child support, for instance. Sierra says DHS's own forms don't make it easy but says they could since the state runs the Child Support Enforcement Agency or CSEA.
"Child support payments in this case are based on the amount of income that you report but the income is only reported at certain intervals," Sierra said. "CSEA has a database which is accessible by the Department of Human Services, so they are the ones who have all the figures. They should know how much she's getting every month. It's not an excuse, but it's a mechanism they're not using."
The state isn't buying it.
"We believe that Ms. Gorospe grossly violated the public trust by engaging in this scheme," Kanemoto told the judge.
"The fact is she was an employee of DHS and she was advising her clientele about accurate reporting and she wasn't doing it herself," Kanemoto told KHON2.
We'll follow up with lawmakers to see if those extra resources can be revived or passed in the budget this session to make more headway against that $48 million overpayment balance.

Hours into his release by abductors, Rezaul Haque, the driver of expatriate BNP leader Mujibur Rahman, went missing again.
Rezaul along with Mujibur, an expatriate in the UK, were kidnapped in Sunamganj on May 4. They were freed on Monday morning in Tongi, Gazipur.
Walking free after over three months, the two reached Mujibur's residence in the capital's Gulshan around 10:00am. The BNP leader then asked the driver to go to his ancestral home in Sunamganj, Mujibur's brother-in-law Anwar Hossain told The Daily Star.
Both Sunamganj police and family members of Rezaul said he did not return home as of yesterday evening.
A police team has been waiting in front of Rezaul's home in Sunamganj since Monday evening, the driver's father Abdul Wahed told our Sylhet correspondent.
Harun-ur-Rashid, superintendent of police (SP) in Sunamganj, said they were looking for the 30-year-old driver as he could have vital information to help their investigation.
Now a member of the advisory committee of Sunamganj BNP, Mujibur, 56, is also a former vice-president of the party's UK chapter.
During their captivity, the two had been held hostage separately. Mujibur could only see his driver when they were freed, said Anwar, quoting the BNP leader as saying.
Mujibur has been undergoing treatment at the capital's United Hospital and is supposed to return home today.
A physician at the hospital said the patient was suffering from haemoglobin and iron deficiencies.
Meanwhile, two British High Commission officials yesterday visited Mujibur at the hospital, according to family sources.
"We can confirm we are providing British national Mr Mujibur Rahman with consular assistance," a British High Commission spokesperson told this newspaper.
The abductors had blindfolded Mujibur and Rezaul and made them wear burqas before dropping the two off in Tongi, said Anwar.
Proficient in both Bangla and English, the kidnappers enquired of Mujibur about BNP Senior Vice-Chairman Tarique Rahman and any probable link of Mujibur with Tarique. They also grilled Mujibur about BNP politics in the UK.
The abductees were brought down from the first floor of a building on Monday before being released in Tongi.
Family members of Mujibur had lodged a general diary with Sunamganj police in this connection.

Can Healthcare IT Help Physicians Increase Patient Collections
An Electronic Health Record (EHR) is quite arguably the single most expensive investment a physician is ever going to make. An increasing number of medical practices are taking the electronic route. Implementing an EHR is just one small step towards a more streamlined medical practice. It is not a magic vehicle that can help you reach your goals faster. But focus and constant effort can help you reach there.
Geared up for Change!
An EHR can revolutionize your workflow. It leads to greater operational efficiency and helps different departments, specialists and healthcare facilities to access and share data effortlessly. But the huge change that it can bring to your practice may not always be for the better. The shift can unsettle your existing revenue management system.
It is imperative for physicians to upgrade their revenue cycle and better optimize its functions to support the new entrant into the office. The most critical components of the revenue management system such as claims submissions, insurance verification and front-end processes need to be reworked to work in a new environment.
Are all your Claims Clean?
Yes, an EHR greatly automates your workflow process and helps in maintaining accurate medical information. But quite disturbingly there have been several hospitals that have been warned for misusing an EHR to create falsely inflated claims. The lack of clarity in CMS guidelines is cited as one reason for physicians to make billing errors.
But the major reason could be that physicians are still learning the ropes of working with a new system.
Better Patient Communication and Care…
This is a debate that has been raging in Linkedin, Twitter and near the water cooler for the past few months. Can an EMR or EHR system truly help the doctor to spend more time with patients? It does help save on time and effort but whether an EHR can help in better communication, is still being debated about.
EHR's certainly a Quantum Leap into a Better Future!
EHR's are a huge, collective step forward for the healthcare industry. It is certainly going to light the way ahead and be a catalyst of change. But EHR's cannot in themselves create a more profitable or efficient medical practice. The other important parts of the puzzle such as revenue cycle management services , patient communication and everything in-between needs to be fitted together to create a pretty picture !

Yeah...this episode wasent the best. They tried to give a cast member, that hasent gotten alot of screentime, into the main focus of the episode. I would be all for it...if it wasent 13 episodes too late.
Clark- Dident get alot of focus in this episode. Just the regular "Save the day" kind of plot. Kinda reminds me of "Craving". Although I like when he relizes that he cant save everybody when Chloe breaks her arm.
Lana- Tries to buy the movie theater where her parents met. Ummm, OK I would totally be for this plot...if it wasent for 1 tiny thing. How in the hell is this 14 year old girl going to run a business when she cant even serve coffee?? But still this episode did start the Talon. Also it started the Lex-Lana friendship.
Lex- Has to recover his super-secret-disk from the jocks. Its cool because we finally get an episode thats not about a Lana-stalker. But its still a forgettable plot. He does save the day at the end which is pretty cool.
Whitney- Finally gets a plot!!!! But it feels forced as this guy hasent been relevant since the 1st episode. You do feel bad for him though, as his father is dying and he lost his scholership. Kind of Smallvilles version of drugs,as he gets with the jocks and gets a Kryptonite tattoo.
The jocks- Kryptonite tattoos? Fresh idea. Walking through walls? Pretty cool power. Creating villains that have no personaity what-so-ever? Pretty stupid. Unlike previous episodes, you do not feel any emotions for these villains at all. But I have to admit that I like how Clark cant get next to them.
So, a pretty forgettable episode. Who knows you might actually enjoy this episode more than me. But to me, this episode is one of the lowest of the season.

Students with a degree in psychology can find career opportunities working in schools, corporations, or in the social services sector. Many psychology grads work in the field of mental health, under the supervision of a clinical psychologist or psychiatrist. Psycho-analysis is based on changing problematic behaviors, feelings, and thoughts by discovering their unconscious meanings and motivations. By comparison, Jungian therapy focuses on the collective unconscious, dream archetypes, and symbolic representation. In dysfunctional families, children must learn to cope with unbearable situations, and often develop classical psychological symptoms. Therapists in turn will attempt to identify destructive behavior and emotions, and select suitable therapy.
In brief therapy as outlined by Milton Erickson, the therapist treats clinical and subjective conditions faster by precise observation, and direct intervention. Rather than a prolonged analysis of historical causes, the primary approach of brief therapy is to help the client become more versatile in the present, prompting successful clients to undergo spontaneous changes. Behavioral Therapy, on the other hand, addresses both normal and abnormal behaviors. Desensitizing is classical conditioning in action, where a therapist might help a client with a phobia through repeated exposure to the causal agent. Operant conditioning is more direct, relying on rewards and punishments to shape behavior.

I am officially a HunterXTori shipper! This was sooo cute and sweet with the progression of the couples that hadn't already been established. and the storyline was amazing as well. I can't wait to read the sequel!
| Alex B. Goode chapter 6 . 2/13/2013
That was awesome.
| Griddlebone chapter 6 . 12/15/2012
And everyone, more or less, seems to get their happy ending... but I do like the slightly foreboding overtones, like it's not going to last. Those are my favorite kinds of endings. I'm definitely curious as to what you've got in store for the Rangers next. Congratulations on finishing this story, and I'll be looking forward to the sequel(s) when you get a chance to write it!
| Griddlebone chapter 5 . 12/15/2012
Wow, seeing Zordon return to the Rangers was a nice surprise there (I always kind of wondered if death might affect a being like Zordon differently than it does a human). I'm glad they were able to defeat Goldar in the end, and Rita's sacrifice was another shock... but I have to admit it's pretty cool seeing one of my favorite villains fully embrace the second chance at goodness that she was given. I always loved Rita as a bad guy, but it's nice to see her get to be a good guy, too.

Good ending I am gald the rangers were able to have a hoilday party together and I wondor what is up with Tori's parents
| Harry2 chapter 6 . 12/10/2012
Nice ending for this story. But as far as the Hanson's are concerned, I have my suspicions. I suspect that they work for the CIA, the Company as it is also known as. And if that is the case, that explains why they have never been around for Christmas for Tori. Now. lets see if my hunch is correct. *GOLD RANGER POWER! ITS TIME FOR A GOLD RUSH!*

On another blog, I replied to several comments by a critic of modern living-pterosaur investigations. But something else mentioned by Paul Pursglove caught my attention: "Basic science would suggest that these sightings are misguided." That deserves attention. (The link to that original criticism by Pursglove is found on that Modern Pterosaurs Blogspot post: "Pterosaurs and Cryptozoology.")
"Basic science" involves observations by humans, and human experience should be respected, even above a dogmatic tradition; that is the normal application of science. The professors who opposed Galileo's support of a sun-centered system—those professors were trying to protect their traditions of earth-centeredness. Now many eyewitnesses of apparent pterosaurs tell us of their experiences; they are now opposed by critics who are trying to protect the traditions of universal dinosaur-pterosaur extinction. The point? Mr. Pursglove has taken a position similar to that taken by the professors who opposed Galileo.
What!? Cryptozoologists who search for flying creatures resembling living pterosaurs—those fringe-investigators are on the same side as Galileo? But that early Italian scientist had a telescope to show professors that Jupiter was circled by four moons, so he was using repeatable observations to convince those professors, right? Not exactly. For one thing, those moons of Jupiter do not really prove that the earth revolves around the sun (it only opens up thinking in that direction); in addition, professors cannot be forced to look into a telescope, even if they were open-minded about what they would see.
But cryptozoology, including sightings of living pterosaurs, is not repeatable science, it is unpredictable, right? Not exactly. Certain aspects of sightings in Papua New Guinea seem to be repeatable. A few months after Paul Nation videotaped two indava lights (late 2006), the television production crew for Destination Truth (with Joshua Gates) videotaped a similar light to the east (early 2007). Both sightings were on the mainland of Papua New Guinea. So why not support a major expedition, one with the expensive video equipment that might reveal the living pterosaurs that produce that incredible bioluminescence?
But science tells us that all pterosaurs became extinct many millions of years ago, right? NOT AT ALL! Not even one species can be determined to be extinct by examining fossils. Extinction is not something that fossils can tell us. It has been assumed that pterosaurs became extinct; the key word is "assumed." Even if hundreds of species did become extinct long ago, there is nothing in "basic science" that tells us no pterosaur species could be presently living.
The truth is that the discoveries of fossils of new species of pterosaurs, discoveries over the decades, make an extant pterosaur species MORE likely. The more species that lived in the past, the more likely one or two species have survived into the present, right? RIGHT!
Human experience should not be swept away to protect old dogmas, and two of those old dogmas are earth-centeredness and universal pterosaur extinction.
One Response to "Cryptozoology, science, and pterosaurs"
[…] living-pterosaur critic Paul Pursglove has said that " . . . there are some reports that cannot be resolved […]

The suspect is described as a 30-year-old, heavyset Caucasian man with short dark hair and a goatee. He was wearing all dark clothing, had a mask over his face, white gloves and a black backpack.
He ran out the backdoor, and was possibly headed east.

Nearly every single fabric, button, tag, and thread of these garments has been custom made to meet the spec of the original. In fact, when we first met with them, they told us the story of having a very specific thread recreated because it no longer was available. While the fits have been updated a bit to blend with more modern wardrobes, everything else is exactly as it was. It just doesn't get better than this if you're looking for wearable artifacts of the early and mid-20th century.
