What would it mean to have an interconnected field of global consciousness? How would we know that it exists? "Oneness" and other such notions have been a part of spiritual and religious traditions for millennia and more recently co-opted by modern spirituality, but where is the empiric evidence? This is the age in which the wisdom of classic cultures is being dovetailed with current research. A comprehensive field of human consciousness is beginning to gather the beginnings of scientific validation at as well.
In a previous ARHP Connect article fields were examined through Rupert Sheldrake's work on Morphogenetic Fields – field that effect and potentially shape matter. In 2002 a study was released in Foundations of Physics by Nelson, Radin, Shoup and Bancel that used statistically significant variations in random number generators paired with a massively significant historical event that captured the attention of much of the world, the bombing of the World Trade Towers on September 11th, 2001.
Random number generators (RNGs) are devices used in research to measure how a device might be affected by outside influences not yet understood. An organization called the Global Consciousness Project has a connected network of these RNGs that have been collecting data since 1998. This data is publicly archived and open for anyone to examine or use as experimental data.
In this research it was found that immediately before, during and for 2 days after there was a strong disturbance in the randomness of the RNGs. Because the RNGs are desired to be random, when they are not it is an indication that something is affecting them. The RNGs also communicate through the network via quantum tunneling.
During the September 11th attacks the data showed a change in variation of 5 standard deviations, which is remarkable in any research. This variation means that the RNGs created strings of data that were much less random.
The researchers studied all the data since the inception of observation in 1998 and there was no other time frame in which such a dramatic shift in the data was observed. While this paper openly admits it has no formal mechanism for how this happens there are many who have created hypotheses.
Most hypotheses fall along this line. A global, interconnected network of quantum sensors picked up data of perturbations in the natural field of consciousness as so many people's attention converged on one subject. In quantum physics we know observation makes an impact on the outcome of the event. This was verified in one of the quintessential quantum experiments called the Double-Slit Experiment in which a single particle would act as either a particle, wave or both depending on whether or not the process was observed by the researcher.
This research is starting to lead us in a direction of recognizing that the interconnectedness of human awareness does indeed have an impact on the world around us and that when that human consciousness is unified the effects are even greater.
On a smaller scale we have seen the effect of a group field on the immediate surroundings. In 1994 John Hagelin was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for the outcomes of his research on group consciousness. Hagelin arranged to have 4000 people come and practice Transcendental Meditation in Washington, DC. For 2 weeks. During that time period the researchers found that the crime rate decreased 18% from the predicted models.
As healers, and practitioners committed to making a difference on some scale, whether our own office or the planet it is important to recognize the effect that fields have. Creating an energy rich field has not only an impact on the session you are having with that client in the moment but also how much of an impact they can have in their lives and on the other microcosm fields they are in.
Reorganizational Healing has massively valuable techniques, and, no technique lives in a vacuum. Recognizing and leveraging the field is critical for a number of reasons. First is the field in your office. People are going to have greater results and the field in your office is going to grow. Secondly is the field of Reorganizational Healing. Every time you focus on doing the work and showing up in an Energy Rich state you add back to and strengthen the field of ROH and ROH practitioners. From this perspective we can see the field as a medium of community on a global, and likely, universal scale.
Dr. Donald Epstein has shared "Once a person has understanding, then they have responsibility". Now that you understand that your experience never happens in isolation, but in fact has an impact on those around you how do you choose to show up?

Gurus Amps Sinusoid
- By David Pakula @tonereport
- September 07, 2016
- 0 Comments
Are you a player with a vintage amp? You know, the kind that came out before vibrato and reverb were added? Maybe you tote a verb-less head and cabinet around, but wish you had those features. Perhaps you want a pedal with some features we all know and love, but that will let you take them to a new level. If so, have I got a pedal for you!
The Sinusoid by Gurus is a handmade Italian guitar pedal. This is a large pedal at approximately 8.5-by-five inches. Aesthetically, it is a beautiful piece of work—a five sided, black metal frame with a black acrylic top, a clear window showing a vacuum tube, matte silver knobs and switches, and two "Magic Eyes." Have I sold you yet?
On the back is a 9–12-volt DC input; the instructions indicate that there are current requirements of 400 milliamps running at 12 volts, so it's important to keep that in mind while powering. Of course, the higher the voltage, the higher the headroom. The instructions also indicate that the remote switch jack is there to place your Sinusoid away from the pedal board to prevent it from introducing noise.
I plugged the Sinusoid in to my amp's effects loop and used a nine-volt adapter offering 400 milliamps of current. The controls for the "Vibro" channel are on the left, "Reverb" on the right. The Vibro channel offers intensity and speed controls, whereas Reverb has a reverb and a volume control. I would liken the intensity control to a depth setting. The reverb knob seems to increase or decrease the amount of reverb, and the volume knob controls how loud that reverb is in the signal.
When I first "stomped" on the reverb switch, I learned something important about this pedal. It is sensitive. That's because it contains a real spring reverb tank! If you hit the pedal hard, it impacts the springs and causes noise. This caused me to investigate a bit further, and I found that the switches are not the typical, mechanical, locking, stomp switches most pedals have. These are more akin to the switches on a digital multi-effects unit. They don't need to be depressed with any aggression. A light pressing will engage or disengage the effect.
As I strummed and picked, the Magic Eyes lit up at varying degrees of intensity, depending on the intensity of the playing. It is kind of fun to get that bit of feedback. More fun, though, are the sounds that come out of this pedal. Think back to the '60s American amps with vibrato and reverb—the Sinusoid can certainly give you that feel by being judicious with the controls. However, getting beyond the halfway mark on any of the knobs gets really interesting. For example, with the Reverb nearly maxed and the Volume at 10, I got a very sitar-like sound. I tailored some of the Vibro into the mix, and it became rather convincing.
What We Like:
Sure, the Sinusoid just looks cool, but it really performs well. Gurus did not just take a feature set of old and put it into a fancy looking box. The Sinusoid can give you some of those standard sounds, if you want it to, and do it very well. It also opens up some possibilities for sonic exploration.
The only concerns with the Sinusoid are whether it will play nice near other pedals, and it is a good thing that the manual provides a warning in that regard. The instructions are not clear as to what sort of switch will work for remote control, so more detail on that would be nice. If you do choose to put the Sinusoid on the floor near your other effects, be sure not to stomp on the unit hard, or you and your audience may be treated to a rather unpleasant bang.

SeThey removed 11 overgrown shrubs, shredding them on site. These shrubs were approximately 10-15 ft. tall. The process went very smoothly and in a orderly fashion. Care was taken when removing the shrubs not to interfere with power lines on property, etc. The clean up afterwards was quick and efficient, removing all branches and debris.
Mr. G., Pompton Plains, NJ
The crew that took down my massive tree worked like a well oiled machine. The day they took down that monster was not a nice day. They worked thru the pouring rain without complaint. In my estimation you could not find a more diligent crew.
If you need tree work done, these are the guys and gal you want to work for you.
The tree top guy was awesome (nerves of steel) and the crane operator was an artist, he really knows what he is doing. This is definitely the A team.

Well, i have the CDM8915 phone, and i have the data cable, and i have Bitpim 1.0.5. i can't get it to work. i've tried most of the stuff mentioned on this thread. older versions of bitpim won't work on my computer, and the newest version of bitpim just won't recongize my phone. all i'm looking to do is remove some of the sounds from it, like when you turn on or off the phone, and the camera noise. any thoughts?
Have you downloaded and installed the drivers for the phone? Choose filesystem view rather than trying to detect the phone, set up the port manually.Originally Posted by jerismthegreat
Good luck. ;-)
Hi. I would like to know how can I access the phonebook on the 8915. I used Pc Sync for my other phone (8910) and worked perfectly. However, the 8915 can't seem to connect. I do go pass the Com3 password and it says it connected fine. Then i try to get data from the phone and it keeps trying forever (I left the computer doing this and came bach 30 mins later and still the same screen with no info yet). All I need is the phonebook, not pics or audio. The lcd is broken and I need to retrieve some phones.Originally Posted by GH3TT0 PH0N3
Thanks for the help.
Hello pinchi2, sorry I didn't give you a response sooner. Which Cellular Provider do you have for the 8915? If it's Virgin Mobile, it sounds like from what everyone is saying is that the phone is practically unlocked and free from limitations; However if you're using the Verizon 8915, then i'm afraid i'm about as stumped as you are. Even with bitpim, (and from the sound of it, Curitel's PC Sync) you can barely grab any file off that phone, period. even if you were able to grab the phonebook directory (nvm/pb? not positive, sorry) and then opened the files to look at them in a hex editor, (or just simply, Notepad) the names/numbers would most likely be seperated and unorganized, you wouldn't be able to tell whose number went with the person's name, not only because the phone seperates the names from the numbers in seperate files, but really jumbles them around and completely moves them out of order. I really hate to say it, but since your screen is broken, you will probably have to resort to taking it to your local Cellular Provider (judging that your phone isn't with Virgin mobile, but with a different provider,) and ask them to back up the phone numbers and other information for you to a new/replacement phone. Sorry about that, wish I could be more help, but sadly 8915's with other providers are extremely limited in functionality. Good luck.Originally Posted by pinchi2
"Am I the only person who uses a Brick Phone anymore?"
He claims that nothing unusual happened. All we know is that the main screen is dead. The keypad works fine, the sound works fine, and the little screen that shows the time works fine. Just the main screen is dead. Is this the end of the phone or is there a way to fix this?
My boyfriend has a tendency to put things in his pockets and then sit on them.... I have seen some flip type phones that get used alot wear through the connecting ribbon in the hinge section, but if the small screen is still working I'm stumped. Sometimes mine freezes up and I have to pull the battery to jump start it, but usually that is an "all stop" situation without sound or keypad. Is it lit but black/no picture or really dead with no power at all? (lit = maybe software/programming glitch, all dark = probably hardware related) How long has it been in service? Any customizations via data cable?Originally Posted by tlux63
You might try getting a used one off ebay (I found 2 for less than $15 w/ free shipping) and then switching out the lcd for one that works, but then if you actually get one that works you can activate it yourself and keep the same phone # on the virgin mobile website for free - it would only be worth switching the lcd for whatever data might be on the current handset that you can't live without or duplicate. If you are quite desperate I think I've got at least one extra (bricked one or two, but the displays still work) though I don't know how much patience you have for fiddling with stuff...
and again, I'm not sure it would fix the problem. Anybody else in the family have the same phone? you could try their lcd as test run and then if it works at least you know what to look for.

Who will be the late additions to the I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! line-up?
We take a look at who might join the likes of Amir Khan and Stanley Johnson in camp
So we've got our full line-up confirmed for this year's three-week stint in the jungle but as always, I'm A Celeb is expected to have some twists up its sleeves – which of course means new faces joining the camp after the official launch. If you remember last year, Danny Baker and Martin Roberts headed in a couple of days late and even though last year's lot were already a pretty close knit family, they eventually fitted in.
- When is I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! 2017 on ITV?
- Who will win I'm A Celeb 2017? Fans tip Jack Maynard for jungle crown
- I'm A Celebrity 2017: How to vote online and by phone
- I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! Full CONFIRMED line-up
So who could this year's late additions be?
Here's some of the names rumoured to be heading down under…
Kezia Dugdale
The former Scottish Labour leader is heavily rumoured to be headed Down Under for a stint in the jungle. Reports in The Sun suggest she will fly out to Australia this weekend in preparation for her entry into the camp. But how will her participation on the show go down back home? Nadine Dorries MP took part back in 2012 and drew criticism from viewers and fellow politicians for her absence from Westminster.
Will Dugdale's break from Holyrood do her reputation harm – or will she win over viewers of the ITV series?
Ryan Thomas
The former Corrie star has just finished up filming for his role in Neighbours and is conveniently in Australia – home to I'm A Celeb. So as he's already Down Under, could Ryan Thomas be set to head into the jungle?
Last year his sibling Adam made for some pretty entertaining moments on the show and in a TV appearance on ITV's Lorraine, Ryan said "I loved watching my brother suffer, it was amazing." Could he have been inspired to sign up himself?
Boris Becker
It is well known that German former tennis champion Boris Becker is in a bit of a sticky financial situation. So with the offer of £500,000 to join the I'm A Celeb cast on the table, he might just make an appearance later in the series.
Craig Charles
We've seen Craig Charles head into the camp before, but after a family tragedy he had to pull out of the show early. The Red Dwarf star did even say earlier this year that he's a "never say never kind of guy". So as his last shot on the show ended prematurely, will he be back to face those trials and go for jungle glory?
Alan Titchmarsh
Everybody's favourite gardener Alan Titchmarsh was tipped by the bookies to be joining the cast this year but as he's not part of the confirmed line-up could he be an extra addition along the way? He's certainly in touch with nature after many years presenting various outdoors shows like Gardener's World.
Ben Cohen
England rugby star Ben Cohen has reportedly been approached by show bosses so he could be pegged as one of the camp's new arrivals this year. He was very popular with viewers during his time on Strictly so could he be 'cha cha cha-ing' his way Down Under?
Katie Hopkins
Outspoken Katie Hopkins is another on the list of rumoured celebs to head for the jungle. She's no stranger to reality contests, thanks to her stints on The Apprentice and Celebrity Big Brother. It's almost a surprise she hasn't done I'm A Celeb before – the media commentator would definitely be one for ruffling some feathers in camp.
I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! starts on Sunday 19th November at 9pm on ITV

I fortuitously noticed this story on-line earlier this morning (it's not in the printed version of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch yet) and after reading it checked out the comments. Sure enough, they're overwhelmingly negative, panning the researchers' conclusions even before knowing them, and putting forward spurious reasons why this research will be flawed.
Only one comment at the time I checked supported smoke-free air:
David Hartstein said on: September 8, 2010, 8:40 am
I agree that even with proper ventilation, it seems obvious that second hand smoke would still negatively impact the health of others in the space. I support the smoking ban and personally have stopped going to places that are smokey. To me, when one person's choices impact the health and well-being of others, it is reasonable to restrict that activity to the privacy of one's own home.

Wash U to release study on secondhand smoke
By MICHELE MUNZ firstname.lastname@example.com 314-340-8263 | Posted: Wednesday, September 8, 2010 5:41 am | (14) Comments
Researchers at Washington University are expected to announce today the results of the first study to monitor secondhand smoke exposure in St. Louis area bars and restaurants and whether ventilation systems work in purifying the air.
The study was a joint effort between the Siteman Cancer Center at Washington University School of Medicine and the Center for Tobacco Policy Research at Washington University. Researchers looked at airborne nicotine levels, nicotine levels in employees' hair samples, employees' health, employees' knowledge about smoke-free policies and the effectiveness of ventilation systems.
Key players are scheduled to discuss the findings at a 1 p.m. press conference. John Postel, marketing and entertainment manager of the Highlands Brewing Co. in Kirkwood, where a smoking ban went into effect over nine months ago, is also on the list to speak.
A smoking ban in public places in St. Louis and St. Louis County takes effect Jan. 2. However, casino floors, some hotel rooms, private clubs (mainly veterans and fraternal organizations) and tobacco stores are exempt. The county also exempts bars where income from food is 25 percent or less of gross receipts.
In the city, small bars — less than 2,000 square feet where food sales are "incidental" to alcohol consumption — have five years to comply with the ban.
Bans are already in effect in Clayton, Kirkwood, Arnold, Ballwin and Lake Saint Louis and throughout the state of Illinois. Some of the municipal laws, such as one that goes into effect Jan. 1 in Brentwood, ban smoking in all bars.
My comments posted to date on the Post-Dispatch:
Martin Pion said on: September 8, 2010, 9:34 am
I wasn't aware of this study but I'm delighted to learn of it.
MoGASP has funded independent studies in Ballwin and Arnold restaurants and bars in the past but those results have not been published in peer-reviewed journals. These new studies of smoke-free environments vs. ventilation solutions would probably be a spur to submitting our result for publication.
In research, it's important to obtain more than one set of data.
Martin Pion, B.Sc. President, MoGASP
Martin Pion said on: September 8, 2010, 10:05 am
Tony Palazzolo wrote: "You already know that nicotine levels are higher in places that allow smoking than not …. nicotine sticks to clothing … which is not harmful in anyway."
I'm baffled by your logic. Nicotine in the air is a unique surrogate for SHS. What research can you point to showing that the nicotine being measured in smoking-permitted environments is mainly or even partially due to clothing?
This is a red herring.

Weekly Must-Have: R+Co Park Ave Blowout Balm
Confession: I am deeply obsessed with Kate Middleton's hair. It's shiny, voluminous, bouncy, and smooth all at the same time…and all while the entire world watches for a hair mishap! Am I gushing? Sorry, it's hard to play it cool on this topic. She is #hairgoals and then some.
Achieving a perfect blowout a la Kate can feel like a challenging puzzle, and the piece I haven't been able to find is the right styling product. While I've been able to tame the frizz on my thick mane thanks to quarterly keratin treatments, I still need something to smooth and volumize before blow drying. However, too many products do too much of one singular thing – whether it's smoothing, conditioning, volumizing, or protecting. I try to play cocktail master and blend various items to my liking, but that often results in weighed down and even greasy strands (no bueno). My woes were finally solved thanks to R+Co Park Ave Blowout Balm.
This product was designed with type-A, high-maintenance hair salon clients in mind. It subtly smooths while simultaneously adding body and hold, and also protects your hair from the heat of the blowdryer. I squeeze a dollop (about a nickle) and apply from mid-shaft to ends after showering and comb through. I avoid applying directly to my roots, but when brushing, some definitely travels up there. I then blow dry with a round brush section by section.
Perhaps the brand even had Kate in mind when formulating this product; after all, if she was a New York City resident, she'd likely be an uptown, Park Avenue lady who lunches.

CAFÉ Summer Workshop for Foodservice Instructors Hosted by Florida Culinary Institute02 September 2009
- A community service project that our students do is that they feed the homeless each Monday night during the school year. (KT)
- We have a Chinese New Year party every year (sometime in January/February). We make dim sum, shu mai, brew jasmine tea and green-tea ice cream. I buy all the ingredients at the Asian market nearby and I bring decorations that reflect the year. Gon hoi fat choi! (MG)
- We use guest speakers from across the spectrum of restaurants, catering, hotels and corporate dining, including using our own food-and-nutrition cafeteria dining specialist. Speakers come to the school with a wealth of knowledge and experience in the foodservice industry. They do food demonstrations and arrange field trips for interested students. It is important for students to have the opportunity to experience what the foodservice industry has to offer. Students are brought into these foodservice facilities and given job-shadowing opportunities to see for themselves what the foodservice industry has to offer the student. Students have come back better motivated and focused on completing their high-school educations. (AR)
- Each table does an international food demo for the entire class. They are graded on: recipe selection, sanitation and clean-up. They report about the country and meal patterns (which is read to the class). They are graded on table-setting, proper knife skills, proper measuring and use of appliances, and taste and appearance. (KG)
- I find that food and students go hand in hand. Besides intense labs and hours of café/catering duties, I wanted to find a fun and rewarding way to teach the kids a lesson in foodservice in mass quantities. I decided for their hard work through the year, I would arrange a field trip to Busch Gardens Williamsburg. I wrote a letter to the VP and asked if I could bring my culinary-arts students and have a guided tour of their commissary and a lecture from the F&B manager. They agreed. The students learned first-hand how to plan, cost, hire, plan training and quality control of one of the most popular theme parks in the world. These students saw the value of skills and how hard it is to make a large theme park foodservice run smoothly. At first they saw a day at a park, but in the end, they learned the magnitude and saw first-hand a huge commercial entertainment operation. (DF)
- The Mystery Cookie exercise: Students are given a simple chocolate-chip cookie recipe. The chocolate chips and vanilla extract are highlighted or circled. The students are instructed to replace these components with other flavoring components such as almond, orange or lemon extract. Dried berries or nuts such as cranberries, blueberries, coconut, pecans, almonds, walnuts and hazelnuts are also substituted. They may use white or butterscotch chips or candy pieces. (Note: Try different flours as well—whole wheat, spelt, soy.) They can also use a combination of any of these components. The mixing procedure is also removed, and they are asked to write down the creaming method and steps for mixing the cookies. Students get to see how creative they can be and can taste everyone else's cookies. (DM)
- Break up students into small groups. Have them discuss a particular holiday dinner. Make students make lists of foods divided by food groups. Have students develop a holiday menu using the food groups. Make a collage out of the final results. (PB)
- In beginning-foods class, when we have our safety and sanitation test, I use "glo germ" powder on the students' written tests without them knowing. After the test, I tell them they have been infected with artificial germs. I then show them with a black light how the "glo" germs have been spread all over their faces, desks, bodies, etc., by their hands. The kids love it and are very impressed by this "experiment" because the glow-in-the-black-light germs are all over. ("Glo germ" are plastic simulated germs used for training for sanitation and to demonstrate the importance of good hand-washing) (WB)
- For a clean and efficient way to grate ginger, first peel the root, then wrap a grater in clear cellophane. Grate the ginger as you normally would with the cellophane around the grater. You will be able to keep the ginger from getting stuck in the grater, plus avoid injuring your finger. (JW)
- In organizing cooking labs, it helps to keep students close together no matter how much space is available. This ensures efficiency and cleanup as students proceed through the entire lab exercise. (MW)
- This year we are going to make a CD for the students. When job-hunting they can show the future employer all the nifty food stuff the student makes, which is plated and garnished. A photo will be taken and burned on his or her CD for future use. A CD or hard copy can be left for the interviewer. Copies can also be made for a bragging wall in the hallway for future students to view what we made. (DR)
- When using your pocket thermometer, you have to sanitize before and after use. You can use an alcohol swab for both operations. Make sure you don't get the swabs with lotion in them. The cost is about 1 cent each. (LNR)
- My senior team designed a restaurant. From concept to menu design, recipes, inventory sheets, pricing of menu items, etc. But this year I plan to go to local merchants and get flooring samples and materials, and students also have to design the interior boards of dining-area layout and kitchen layout. (BB)
- The students and I get with our local center for mentally challenged students and have a cooking camp. It is wonderful because the campers learn life skills and the students learn that their skills change the lives of others! We give out ribbons and awards to our campers, and it is truly great to see their self-esteem rise. (TJN)
- Everyone eats everything!!! (DM)

Designer of mushy Nickelodeon carrot cake stage
has dandruff-dolls in his hair
They've set up oil rigs on his scalp
to drill for creativity
When geyser erupts
they catch designer's ideas in buckets
Then rappel down ropes of his greasy hair
onto floor where dust-trains
transport them to designer's colleague
A man whose only accomplishment
is a lawsuit-attracting lemon slide
The dandruff-dolls hand over buckets to him
Within them
he singles out striking concept for crunchy Nickelodeon blueberry pie ramp
While trying to consummate this idea
he fails numerous times
since the main ingredient that is sorely missing
is Heart

Tip: Shevchenko @ 3/10 with Bet365
After Dana White brought Nico Montana's reign to an end, the UFC women's flyweight title is up for grabs. Number one contender Valentina Shevchenko will do battle with Joanna Jedrzejczyk in a bout that, while not being a grudge match, has a bit of history to it.
This is the first time that the fighters will clash heads in the UFC but they have fought before on three occasions in Muay Thai competition with Shevchenko winning every time.
While Jedrzejczyk insists that this won't play on her mind going into the fight, there is little doubt as to who should be regarded as the favourite here. Shevchenko trained with Rose Namajunas ahead of her fights with Jedrzejczyk for the Strawweight title, both of which Namajunas won. This could be an indication that Shevchenko is a bogey opponent for Jedrzejczyk.
Shevchenko has been holding hard sparring sessions with 'Thug Rose' in the build-up to this fight and appears confident that she will get a win. Speaking ahead of the fight, she's gone on the record to say that she believes their previous fights will 'affect' Jedrzejczyk.
Her last win, via a rear-naked choke, over Priscila Cachoeira earned her a Performance of the Night award. The odds aren't great on a Shevchenko win with Bet365 offering a high 3/10 on her to win.
Before her defeat to Namajunas, Jedrzejczyk was the number one pound-for-pound MMA fighter in the world. So maybe we shouldn't be too quick to write her off. On her day, she's capable of knocking out any opponent with her precise strikes and kicks. While we don't see her winning this one, the odds on a victory are a tempting 9/4 with Betfair.

Supporting community-based oversight bodies to address Aboriginal rights
The Northwest Territories (NWT) province in Canada is one of two jurisdictions in the country where Aboriginal peoples are in the majority, constituting slightly more than 50% of the population. The region's geographical resources include diamonds, gold, natural gas and petroleum, all of which have attracted extractive companies to the area since the early 1900s.
While the mining and oil and gas industries have brought economic growth and job opportunities to the NWT at various stages, significant challenges have arisen in terms of preserving the land and natural resource rights of the Aboriginal population throughout the course of business activities.
Under the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), land-related human rights issues are of particular concern in the context of business impacts on indigenous populations. In this context, three diamond mines in the NWT have taken a distinct approach in understanding and managing risks to surrounding communities when it comes to land and the environment in connection with mining operations. The licensing and registration process for each mine has involved legally binding environmental agreements between the respective diamond company, the federal government, the NWT government, and affected Aboriginal groups in the area.
Each agreement requires the establishment of a community-based, independent environmental monitoring agency (EMA) to study potential and actual environmental impacts, including those that relate to impacts on people, and facilitate activities around the free, prior and informed consent (FPIC) of Aboriginal groups in relation to each mine. Each EMA acts as a public watchdog organization to ensure environmental regulatory compliance by the mining company and oversee inspection processes by government regulators.
The three EMAs in the NWT include: (1) the Independent Environmental Monitoring Agency (IEMA), covering Dominion Diamond Ekati Corporation's Ekati mine; (2) the Environmental Monitoring Advisory Board (EMAB), covering Diavik Diamond Mines' Diavik mine; and (3) the Snap Lake Environmental Monitoring Agency (SLEMA), covering De Beers Mining Canada's Snap Lake mine. All three agencies facilitate multi-stakeholder dialogue and engagement across Aboriginal, company and government actors.
As an example of the EMA approach to addressing land-related human rights risks to Aboriginal groups associated with mining activities, De Beers and the work of SLEMA involves the following components and activities to date:

Flash Coin (FLASH): Connecting the World in a Flash!
|September, 2016
|Full Release
|Flash Consensus
|DPoS, DPoW
|5 seconds
Flash is a reinvention of Litecoin, built to scale for worldwide commerce with the speed to handle every day transactions. While many other coins are slow in their processing speed, making them impractical for daily usage in purchasing goods and services, Flash coin has been built with speed and convenience in mind to allow for real life use by consumers. This speed does not come at a price, however, as it costs less than a penny to buy with Flash and send it to friends and family across the world. With speed and low fees in mind, CoinPayments is happy to support Flash coin (FLASH) payment processing for our merchants around the world.
How Does it Work?
The Flash coin infrastructure is built on a platform that emphasizes speed and low cost, both in monetary and energy regards. They have an easy to use app where users can sign up for a wallet and store their currencies. There are 900 million Flash coins in circulation and that's it, so there is no coin inflation meaning there isn't a need to mine new coins, thus saving energy. There is even a method to send currencies via email without needing to use the receiver's key, thereby removing the need for storing long complicated key strings in favour of more memorable emails.
The system is built using a special algorithm that uses decentralized delegate nodes to govern and operate the platform. This Flash Consensus algorithm allows miners to take turns in creating and adding blocks to the chain. Blocks are fully confirmed after more than 50% of miners have reached agreement. The benefits of this system include removing the possibility of a 51% attack, eliminating hash races for miners, removing the limitations of PoW, PoS, DPoW, and DPoS to confirm transactions and inserting consensus mechanisms to secure the Flash ledger and blockchain.
The Flash community is made up of users, miners, and delegates. The delegates are elected in 30-day election cycles, with a total of 151 at any given moment. 50 of these delegates are permanent, and to become one you must stake 1 million Flash coins. Users then vote for delegates on these 30-day timeframes. These delegates then elect miners to secure the network and mine new blocks. A total of 25 miners are elected and receive a portion of transaction fees for their work in maintaining the system.
Finally, merchants can also use the platform to accept a range of cryptocurrencies in their store. Once a user creates their profile and opens a wallet, they can download merchant tools to integrate into their store.
Why Choose Flash Coin?
Flash coin is paving the way for crypto adoption at scale. With fast speeds and scalable technology, Flash is preparing for the next wave of crypto use. Their user-friendly system and robust technology will provide a solid platform for both consumers and merchants to jump into the world of cryptocurrencies. All of this for a low price and a reliable way to get in the crypto game, which is why we are happy to support Flash coin (FLASH) payments.

Rigby. The name conjures up images of hot, still mornings while sneaking through the brush in Africa in search of game. Or wading through icy cold streams in Alaska, hoping the bears give you enough warning to get in a lick or two before the charge comes home.
A brief envy moment: I was at an industry function a few years back, and the Rigby company was there. The range officer offered me a London Best rifle to shoot. I threw it up to my shoulder. It fit as if it had been made for me. He loaded it up with cigar-sized cartridges, and I hammered the target at warp speed with big-game rounds, working the silky-smooth bolt between shots. Classic hunting, classic rifles. How often do you get to shoot ammo at 20 bucks a pop—out of a rifle that starts at $26,000? Oh, how I love this job!
I had always wanted a rifle with a Mannlicher full stock, and when Ruger came out with its Mk 77 Mark II International, I was intrigued (a Rigby with such a stock is well into "after-I-winthe-lottery" price range). When I learned Ruger made it in .275 Rigby, I was hooked. And when I found out Hornady made .275 Rigby ammo, I ordered a rifle there and then.
The rifle is an M77 Mk II in stainless with an 18.5-inch barrel and a walnut stock. It was done as a special-order short run for distributor Lipsey's. As an M77, it has the Ruger integral scope ring sockets machined on the receiver. It has the large extractor, the three-position safety on the cocking piece and the hinged floorplate we have all become accustomed to.
The ammo? Hornady has been quietly making runs of classic ammo—rounds that had almost gotten to the point of collector's status—for firearms that are still entirely useable. It just came out with a run of .30-40 Krag, for example, and it has also made .25-35 Winchester, 250 Savage, .264 Winchester and even a run of 7.92×33 … for those 17 people who have a Sturmgewehr to feed.
Hornady's viewpoint: Rifles that can still be used need ammunition that doesn't break the bank to acquire. So, it produces production runs of the classics, from which we can all benefit.
The .275 Rigby ammo comes loaded with Hornady's own Interlock bullet. Introduced in 1977, the Interlock has an interior ring in the jacket to help keep the core and jacket together, even during expansion and penetration. It might be an old idea, but Hornady has kept up with design and production— and it is a 21st-century bullet, make no mistake. It is also available as component bullets for reloading. Hornady now makes the Interlock design in 46 different caliber and weight combinations, from 6mm up to .458, for reloaders. The choices in factory-loaded Hornady ammo? I can't keep track.
In the .275 Rigby, the Interlock bullet weighs 140 grains, and the book velocity is listed as 2,680 fps out of a 24-inch test barrel. My Ruger International is doing well to push the 140 out of the muzzle at slightly more than 2,500 fps, but that's just fine by me. With a BC of .451, the "modest" 2,500 fps of the Interlock is still moving at 1,960 fps at 300 yards; this is about as far as I'd be willing to take a whack at a game animal. That's just under 1,200 foot-pounds of energy and more than enough for all the various deer in North America (if a bit on the light side for elk). But at 100 yards or closer, there's probably enough energy—and certainly enough accuracy for precise shot placement—to make a case for this combo on bigger critters than whitetails.
But a light, handy rifle such as this is just the ticket for deer hunting, and if the price of factory ammo for practice seems a bit much, there's always reloading. The Hornady cases are headstamped ".275 Rigby," so the engraved markings on the Ruger and the case headstamps agree. That's a nice, little historical buzz of fun for me.
And here's the best part: Rigby was both a rifle maker and a promoter. The name, ".275 Rigby"? That's what he called the 7×57 Mauser when building his rifles. Yep, the .275 Rigby and 7×57 are one and the same cartridge. If you have a reloading manual that does not have loading data for the 7×57, I suggest you throw it out. Or use it as a doorstop. Because if it lacks data for that cartridge, there's no telling what else was left out.
If you are introducing a new shooter to the fun, there is no lack of soft-recoiling loads for the 7×57 Mauser—oops, the .275 Rigby!

If you fought every fight worth fighting, you would be exhausted, pretty beat up and frustrated at the same battles up on the docket for the next day all over again. Some are the definition of futility, meant to distract and frustrate. So, I pick my battles. And here is my criteria… "Is this eternally valuable?" That is it. With my kids, is it eternally valuable that I need to step in and intervene or teach or correct. With my husband, is it eternally valuable or just my pride revving up? I only approach the eternally valuable argument where I am allowed and pray for the rest. In every area of life, I am reserving energy for eternally valuable battles. That does not mean I do not fight for what is right or stand up for Jesus, it means I focus on staying in close relationship with Him and allow Him to lead me to the eternally valuable fights with His strength. This assures I am not exhausted but always ready to fight and have God with me as I do so. I believe we are responsible for what we devote our energy toward and will answer for misspent energy expentitures. Some fights are definitely worth it but not every fight is. Choose the eternally valuable battles and stay close to Jesus in constant prayer and sometimes fasting and that is the best we can do. ❤
Category: fight
Falling vs Fighting to Win Any Battle
Being humble is the key to winning every single battle. And allow me to clarify. Being humble is in no way, shape or form the same thing as being weak. It is being so very powerful, using every ounce of strength enough to fall before the Ultra-Powerful God of the universe and admit you need help and ask Him for it. Then He fights for you and He wins for you any possible battle ever. And the shame is that most people will not allow God to prove this truth in their lives. They prideful want to cling to each battle and keep it going for years and keep trying or running (addiction fantasies) for years, getting depressed or beat down or bitter or ruined. The winning is so simple if you choose it but it requires taking off the pride and clothing with humility and falling before God. So simple. So true. So beautiful. Worth a go, truly. It works. My life attests to this truth.❤
Divisiveness is Evil
God unites. His enemies divide. "United we stand!" Is truth. As is "Divided we fall". The enemy, the evil forces of this world, all evil is united in its front to divide all of us. Evil wants division so all countries and their people are destroyed and they can rule. But I have a secret. God is still in charge. And if God's sleeping children wake up and start praying and return to God, the division will not be successful and God will heal this land. God restores and unites. God heals and loves. We should be tired of playing into the hand of the destructive forces around us who around much weaker and damaging than we ever realized. God is all powerful and love, the Creator who builds. His side is the aide to rally toward. Truth and love need promotion on every level. We are called to that. It is a command. Proclaim truth and show live everywhere we go. We must do this today, right now. Pray. Our unity depends upon it. Truth and love must be promoted to yield hope. God will do it if we humbly pray. We must.
The Story of Two Wrongs vs One Right
"Two wrongs don't make a right" has rung in my ears and has committed to knowledge at a young age. There is wrong and right. "Bad" people are just those who decided to commit a wrong, an offence that has reprocussions. The one attacked in some way is the victim. And vengeance belongs to the Lord, who will repay an unrepentant act some day and eternally. That is the idea. For the victim to repay now does not make the crime right or atoned for. That being said, my dad was a Marine and when my sister's boyfriend beat her, he whooped him then called the police. And when I would see kids picked on growing up and then later, I always stepped in to see justice was done. There is something within some or maybe many of us that wants wrong to be punished and right to be the norm. And I attribute this to our makeup, having all been created by God, the Holy One, the good One. We all know right from wrong attributed something in us says, "That is wrong" or "That is right". Those who choose to do wrong will be punished by God someday, even if they get away with it now. So it is in His hands. And as I have grown closer to Him, I bow humbly to His direction and control. I want to let Him do what He will. I wish for God's will to be done. I believe that is what Jesus meant by "turn the other cheek". To stop someone doing wrong in their tracks to minimize damage but then let God deal with their fate and not us pursue further harm. God cannot change their heart back if they are dead. Then it is too late. So stopping them and then allowing law enforcement to do their job allows a chance for contemplation and hopefully repentence. This made sense to me after years of working this out. So I wanted to share my findings for those who have also pondered this. Attitude of the heart is really the heart of the matter, pun intended. Lol ❤
Don't Wrestle Alligators
When bad guys come against you, do not fight their game. You wouldn't wrestle an alligator, you would shoot it. They are just too good at wrestling and those muscles and jaws are powerful. But if it attacks you relentlessly, you would use an appropriate weapon that you have ready. When evil comes against you, do not fight it with its tools of lies and deceit and manipulation, it is their strengths. You fight with truth, the Bible. Always fight lies with truth. It is the only thing that will defeat it. Fight with the right weapon appropriated you will win. Love you. Hang in there. Jesus is Coming soon. ❤❤❤
Picking the Wrong Battles to Fight
My daddy was a boxing instructor in the Marines, so we watched a lot of boxing back in the day. So I love boxing analogies. Lol And in general, the key to never losing a fight is to pick the right fight. Yeah, sometimes people will surprise you and get in a good hit anyway, but you have done your best to minimize damage and be victorious. So in life, we need to conserve our energy and pick the right fight. There are many out there. Many. Any number of fights to be had. And what someone's outer appearance is or whether they know proper etiquette or what translation of Bible they read (despiteth howest thou likest the perfecteth KJV, becauseth everyone talkest thusly) or what the name is on the church. These things do not matter at all. Not one bit. There are real issues no one is talking about. There is a sin problem, an avoiding church problem, a my kids can beat a video game in 2 days straight but don't know a Bible verse problem, an abortion problem, and here's the biggest one of all, a problem of people choosing sin and eternal hell to humble repentance (contrition) and eternal heaven. This is a huge problem. This is a good fight to take on. Because Jesus already won this one for them, they just need truth and prayer to open their hearts and accept it. As a big picture person, I rarely get hung up majoring on the minors, but I am not always fighting what I should be fighting. But way too much attention is being put on inconsequential matters and not enough people are fighting for people's eternal soul destination. There attention only two options: heaven or hell and I don't and God doesn't want anyone to go there because of His great love for us. I love because He loves. Fight that fight. Help them if you can, win their hearts for God who longs for more children to adopt. I don't want anyone going to hell. I will fight that fight. ❤
Kicking To The Curb That Which Should be Kicked
If something plagues you, torments you, tempts you, gets the best of you, pervades your thinking, bests you, threatens to defeat you, punishes you unjustly, dampens your spirits, excites your body too much, whatever it is, to this thing/person/idea/voice you may feel free to kick it to the curb. I had to. It needs that. That which is in need of being kicked should rightly be kicked. If you can't, bring it to me or a trusted friend and I'll or they'll do it. Happy to. I have been there. Recently. Kick it. There is the concept in the Bible "If your right hand/eye causes you to sin, cut it off for it is better to lose your hand/eye than for your whole body to be thrown to hell." Why hang on to that which threatens eternity? Just let it go, like that Frozen song. Let it go. Kick it to the curb. Tell it OUT LOUD to leave in Jesus' name. If it come back, which it will, tell it again. Keep doing that and read your Bible and pray to God for help. Stay away from it. Don't entertain that internal terrorist. "We do not negotiate with terrorists" is another valid argument. Cease and decist. I just wanted to encourage anyone who needed it. God loves you and will help as soon as you humbly ask Him to. I will pray for you too. Love you, friend! ❤
