This blog post originally appeared on Phil's 'Loddington Estate' blog on 25th February 2016.
In amongst all the serious and worrying challenges that are facing agriculture, there is room for a few alternative views and highlights from the 2016 NFU Conference. The first two places in my top ten were close but the Brexit was first past the post.
1. The lively 'Brexit' debate between MEP Dan Hannan and former MEP George Lyon combined exuberance, humour and sharp political debate which had Conference listening to every word.
I'm sure George Lyon told conference to ignore 'patrotic jingoism' similar to that used by the Leave Campaign in last years Scottish Independence debate. However, two highlights came in responses from the floor, firstly about 'bank managers....ing my business' and the second was from session chair Martin Haworth.
When a member from Dorset commented that 'The Times was reporting the NFU swinging behind the 'stay in' campaign, and perhaps we should trust neither politicians or journalists' ...Martin turned to Dan Hannan and enquired if as a politician and journalist he might like to comment. Priceless
2. The 'wit and wisdom' award this year went to Dr David Hughes who wanted adjectives rather than nouns when describing the meat we buy. A lively and at times controversial presentation it was nonetheless delivered with delightful humour.
3.The polished performer award went to Connor McVeigh who takes the title from last year's winner Mark Grimshaw. Coolness under pressure personified. However it would have been nice to hear some direct answers to questions. Would the Living Wage lead to higher prices in Macdonalds?
he answer was there were efficiency to be had via the Beef Production Carbon Report..... aimed at the producer. No word on sharing through the food chain with carbon savings on transport to the restaurants or carbon saving in the restaurants themselves!!
4.Secretary of State, Elizabeth Truss repeated an earlier Oxford Conference statements about reducing bureaucracy, with DEFRA agencies working towards shared and common goals. Let's hope they are the same ones that the industry has and both consultation and collaboration will be paramount to achieve a successful outcome. Her comments on TB were also well received.
5. Mark Berriford-Smith's comments on 'forecasters predicting seven of the last two recession' was well received in the conference hall.
6. A masterstroke engaging the Campaign For The Farmed Environment as a conference sponsor, showing that farmers and their representative do care about the environment. Lets hope we get some common goals and sensible outcomes from our current agri-environment deliberations.
7. Returning to a more light hearted moment, the 'Pointless' game conducted at dinner between Minette Batters and Guy Smith once again showed that in amongst the serious business of conference, humour and mirth should never be forgotten.
8. In the break out session of cropping and environment, the issues were interwoven in both. Environmental responsibility was never far away at the crops session and cropping profitability was pronounced at the environment meeting. Some comments that registered about environmental labelling were' Green is the normal now' and 'The role of Government is like a tide that floats all boats'.
Whilst it was great to see pioneers using competition to drive business efficiencies the whole industry needs some mechanisms to help push forward it's environmental credentials.
9. Once again the Conference organisation was second to none, no complaints from this delegate. How you managed to know that I would step on the 4.22pm train 20 seconds before it was due to leave is beyond me.
Keep up the great work. The conference summary report is out already and will give you the real and considered sequence of events and is essential reading. For those into networking it is Networking Heaven! The cross section of industry representatives is testament to the conference's importance to the agricultural industry.
10. The leadership contest turned out to be a vote for continuity and with many challenges ahead I'm sure this team will work tirelessly for the benefit of its members. If anyone asks you what the NFU does, get a copy of the NFU 2015 Yearbook and place it in front of them.

Hough's It
Brooks Koepka
successfully defended his
US Open
crown at
Shinnecock Hills
on Sunday, in the process becoming the 1st golfer since Curtis Strange in '88 & '89 to achieve the feat.
His play was spectacular on a tough course that beat up a lot of fancied players over all four days, and his putting, in stark contrast to his great friend Dustin Johnson, who played with him in Sunday's penultimate pairing, was as brilliant.
Sunday's play was very exciting, unlike on the previous 3 days, and it started with Englishman
Tommy Fleetwood
going out well and getting under par early on with 4 birds in the first 7, then continuing the birdie barrage with 4 straight from the 12th to the 15th. Then the Masters champion,
Patrick Reed
, started his round, really lighting things up with 3 straight birdies to open, then 2 more in the next four holes to be 5 under after 7, and tied for the lead. Reed slipped though around the turn, and that's when Fleetwood continued going deep, and despite missing from about 10 feet at the last for the lowest ever round in US Open history, he signed for another US Open record-tying lowest round ever with his incredible 63, leaving him 1 shot shy of forcing a playoff.
, who looked invincible after 36 holes, had a weekend to forget on the greens, with six 3-putts in the last 2 rounds being his undoing. By the way, it's not the 1st time a seemingly bullet-proof DJ has frittered away a commanding halfway lead!! If you consider his weekend putting, and his terrible opening 4 holes on Saturday, and the fact that he only finished 2 shots behind, then DJ still remains the best golfer around!
But Koepka just stayed too steady and solid for the rest, and deservedly defended the title he won last year at Erin Hills.
Koepka now has 3 PGA Tour wins, with 2 of them being his national championship, and he now moves to #4 on the
World Rankings
and #13 on the
Fedex Cup
standings – despite taking 3 months off at the beginning of the year to rehab a wrist injury - as well as now leading the
US Ryder Cup
points list.
Right, now I'd like some help on this please! Let me know what you think.
I know that someone who writes any type of newsletter or blog or whatever should normally take a solid stance on things, but for this US Open, I just couldn't decide which side of the fence I was sitting on. So I'm gonna list the pros and cons of what the governing body of golf in North America did last week.
For the USGA:
It's the US Open, so expect a brutal course.
It's the 1 week of the year when par really means something, and it separates this particular week from the other dart-board-style golf courses where 20 and 25 under par are the rule.
The leaderboard come the final stretch
of the tournament was loaded with Major-winners and popular players, and a successful event will always bring the cream to the top.
The luck of the draw!
Complaints were raised about the unacceptability of the greens changing character during the day, but then, what about radically different conditions from morning to afternoon in Scotland in the Open Championship, or anywhere else for that matter? Normally those Pros playing near the back of the field always expect worse wear and tear on the putting surfaces.
Player Power!
Just when do you start and stop listening to the whining and whinging of the pampered prima donna golfing superstars? These guys can be impossible, so suck it up and get on with doing what you do best.
Against the USGA:
1. They
'lost' the greens
for the 2nd straight US Open at Shinnecock, when they expressly stated that they'd learnt from 2004, and wouldn't do it again! Maybe it was only the hole locations that made scoring so difficult, and which even got the TV announcers saying so, and which got quite a few of the players tweeting and twitching. Maybe it was the winds which came up and dried out the patchy putting surfaces, but those winds apparently always get fresher during the day, and the general forecasts were pretty accurate, so why were the greens on such an edge of firmness and playability that a slight change in conditions ruined the spectacle?
2. Here's more proof on the
course set-up being wrong
, and something I don't think anyone on TV or social media picked up on, so I'm taking all the credit for coming up with this. The par three 7th hole at Shinnecock has a Redan green, an almost exact replica of the original Redan green on the 15th hole at North Berwick, one of the best courses in Scotland, and the course that originated about 3 major golf course design concepts that have been copied on courses the world over ever since. Yet on such a storied hole, the USGA used the same quadrant of the green for their hole locations on ALL 4 days!!! The defence for lack of variation rests its case, even though it's clear that the conditions would have made any other hole locations totally unacceptable and a proper course setup would have allowed them to pin the entire green.
It's the US Open, so expect controversy,
but here I'm certain: Phil shoulda been DQ'd, and failing that, he shoulda pulled out! I mean I love Phil, but he intentionally hit a moving ball to stop it getting into more trouble! He admitted that he'd thought about doing this before, so it must have been in the back of his mind when facing that particularly slippery downhill putt on the 13th in Saturday's 3rd round, and a really strong case for pre-meditation then exists, as does any claim of cheating! How much clearer can Rule 1-2 be when it mentions
"A player must not (i) take an action with the intent to influence the movement of a ball in play …"
and further that
"… in the case of a serious breach of Rule 1-2, the Committee may impose a penalty of disqualification."
My major concern here is precedent! How is that not a serious breach?
Phil ruined his 48th birthday celebrations!
When the focus should have been on this popular and mercurial star of the golfing world trying to become the oldest ever US Open winner, and achieving the Grand Slam, instead, his 48th birthday party turned into a press conference about breaking the Rules, and the ensuing lenient approach thereafter by the USGA.
Fox Sports TV!
Please USGA, just renege on your multi-year multi-billion dollar deal with them, and go back to those networks who do this stuff day in and day out all year round? Apart from a whole string of obvious mistakes, in the final round, they missed DJ teeing off, but showed his playing partner Koepka. Maybe they knew something!
Stand a chance to win
when you buy a dozen Srixon golf balls in the shop. You'll get a chance to choose your favourite number (1 - 100) and once we've sold 100 dozen golf balls we will have a draw to determine a winner. If you have the winning number, you get R10 000 to spend in the shop!
Daniel Rosenzweig
won the 3rd leg of the
Jack Nicklaus Champion of Champions
when his 40 points were too good for the rest of the field on Saturday. Dave Farber was 2nd on 39pts, with Richard Heyman counting out Waseem Seedat and Jameel Nazeer on 38pts.
Club Champion Brett Berman
now moves into pole position as per the Top 20 below, or you can click on the link for the complete list. Remember that only your best 3 scores of the 5 qualifying legs count towards the team selection, and the top 4 on the list will make up the team for Pecanwood at the end of November.
We have declared war on pitchmarks, as we are finding way too many unrepaired ball marks on our greens.
I must remind all golfers that care for the course is the player's responsibility, not the caddie's!
According to research, the average number of ball marks per golfer is 8 per round. That's 1,200 on a busy Saturday, or about 2,400 per weekend, or about 10,000 weekend impressions per month, or about 120,000 per year.
And you're trying to make putts through that?
I'd like to draw your attention to the R&A's website that says:
Etiquette is an integral part of the game, defining golf's core values. It describes the manner in which the game of golf should be played to ensure all players gain maximum enjoyment.
In short, it's about "respect":
• Respect for the course – leave the course as you would like to find it by repairing pitch-marks, replacing divots and raking bunkers
We will definitely be asking our caddies to get more involved in this than what they already do, but I must re-iterate that it's the player's job to fix their damage, or have their damage repaired, and while you're down there, repair a few more while you're about it.
And you can check out this diagram below that I found on the web for the correct ways to repair the ball marks.
That's all for this week.
Have a good one.
A mid-Iron second, over a nasty hazard, with more trouble right of the green,
tests your technique, your equipment, your fitting, and your confidence.
A Hybrid has the forgiveness,
and deeper centre of gravity this shot needs.
But some golfers struggle mentally with the
need to strike the ball a descending blow
with a Hybrid.
That's why some manufacturers have
created Crossovers or Hybrid-Irons.
Mentally it is easier to think about,
and execute, a slightly descending
blow with this club.
If there's an area of your approach shot game from the Fairway that punishes you too often,
there's potential for scorecard improvement. Use the right fitted equipment with the right technique,
and you'll be able to take the challenge on with a greater chance of success.
Spend 45 minutes with us. Let's make a difference.
Got some friends who have just started to learn the game?
Give them a chance to have some fun out on the golf course.
You don't have to tee off from the tee box – a hugely daunting and intimidating experience
for someone still struggling to get a full shot airborne consistently.
It will lead to a much longer round and not a lot of joy.
Why not play 9-holes with each hole starting at the 40 metre mark?
You don't have to wait for us to create fun golf experiences.
You can create them yourselves as a four-ball, or a small group.
Respect everyone else, but enjoy your golf.
Try this with friends, if you're a regular or even highly competitive golfer.
Come down after work, before work, whenever you have 2 hours.
Play a 9 hole 40 metre Championship. It's a great game.
Anyone not shooting under 36?
Then it's time to pay a visit and improve your short game.

Department of irreproducible results
From the time of the Enlightenment through the 19th Century,
'reproducible' science meant that 'if you do the same experiment you get
the same result.' In the 20th Century this changed. We now
think that all experiments have an element of randomness. We say,
'if you do the same experiment, your results are drawn from the same
statistical distribution.'
Jonah Lehrer writes in the New Yorker about scientific results that
fade over time. Lehrer cites many examples from the
literature of psychology, but also from biology and even physics.
It happens so frequently that we need to keep an open mind about science
and human scientists, the international community, bias, and maybe some
deeper factors. Some of the possible reasons:
Maybe there's a different story for each irreproducible result.
Maybe there are factors affecting the experiment that we don't yet
understand, and therein is new science, awaiting to be discovered.
The most interesting hypothesis is that the world is constructed with
an element of uniqueness built into each moment. Maybe
'reproducible' even 'statistically reproducible' is an approximation,
only part of the story. Maybe anomalies are part of the world's
repertoire, and what we must come to expect. Sometimes strange
things happen that are permanently outside the realm of scientific
...and yet we give up great opportunities for discovery if we ever
throw up our hands and say 'it was just a fluke'. It's true that
the greatest discoveries are made by looking deeply into results that
seem anomalous, and it's also true that most anomalies turn out to be
just human error, and you can waste a lot of time pursuing an

Sleepers awake
Roger Ekirch of Virgina Tech has a
book that, until the last 300
years, people slept in 2 shifts, with a period of activity in the middle
of the night. Gregg jacobs is a doctor at UMass hospital
specializing in sleep disorders.
Jacobs suggests that the waking period between sleeps, when people
were forced into periods of rest and relaxation, could have played an
important part in the human capacity to regulate stress naturally.
In many historic accounts, Ekirch found that people used the time to
meditate on their dreams.
'Today we spend less time doing those things,' says Dr Jacobs. 'It's not
a coincidence that, in modern life, the number of people who report
anxiety, stress, depression, alcoholism and drug abuse has gone up.'
So the next time you wake up in the middle of the night, think of your
pre-industrial ancestors and relax. Lying awake could be good for you.

Suppose there were a new technology...
A thought experiment: Suppose it became
possible to do everything in your day twice as efficiently. You
could drive to work in half the time it takes now. You could sleep
just 4 hours a night and feel just as alert and well-rested in the
morning. You could read a book with full understanding in half the
time, and watch a video on 2x speed without missing a thing. You
could eat a meal in half the time, fully chewed and well-digested.
You could write a letter or a report or a poem in half the time it takes
you now. You could get all the benefits of exercise, working out half as
long; and you could have the benefits of calm, clarity and concentration
that come from meditation, while meditating just half as long as you do. Of which of these options would you choose to avail yourself?
Ask these questions to discover what activities you value in itself,
and what you're doing for the sake of getting it done. For me, the
surprising discovery was the extent to which goal-oriented activities
have acquired an intrinsic value independent of the goal. This is,
I suppose, a form of
conditioning. After many years of associating vigorous
exercise with the good feeling that follows and the good health that it
supports, I can't imagine trading away exercise for the benefits of
exercise. Learning was once about empowerment and preparation for
unknown possibilities in the future, but is now a value in and of
itself. More puzzling is that I lay off prodding and criticizing
myself while I'm working, so that I am free to enjoy work in a way that
I am rarely free to enjoy entertainment.

from A Poem of Difficult Hope
Much protest is naive; it expects quick, visible improvement and
despairs and gives up when such improvement does not come. Protesters
who hold out for longer have perhaps understood that success is not the
proper goal. If protest depended on success, there would be little
protest of any durability or significance. History simply affords too
little evidence that anyone's individual protest is of any use. Protest
that endures, I think, is moved by a hope far more modest than that of
public success: namely, the hope of preserving qualities in one's own
heart and spirit that would be destroyed by acquiescence.

Smart enough to take control of my own evolution, thank you...
Since the very simplest multi-celled life half a billion years ago,
animals have relied on nerve circuits to help them locate food, flee
from predators, avoid extremes of heat and cold, find a mate, modify the
genome of the next generation — no, that last one isn't right. The
nervous system has nothing to do with changing the genome. Changes
to the genome are random — that's Darwin's theory. The
brain can't choose genes to pass on to the offspring...
Or maybe it can. Nelson Cabej has a wild theory that evolution
is a directed process, and that the nervous system is conscripted to
help figure out what genetic changes would be most likely to succeed.
He cites examples of 'gene recruitment', meaning that a new gene is not
created, but a gene that had been used for one purpose is adopted in
another context to do a different job.
The evidence is indirect, and the examples he cites are about
epigenetics, rather than gene changes. But Cabej's idea fills a
void: it is unclear how evolution has managed to be as efficient as it
has been, and I suspect that the process of evolution is itself

Eating meat without killing
Mark Post, who works at the Eindhoven University of Technology in the
Netherlands, is at the leading edge of efforts to make in vitro meat by
growing animal muscle cells in a dish. His ultimate goal is to help rid
the world of the wasteful production of farm animals for food by helping
to develop life-like steaks. In the near term, he hopes to make a single
palatable sausage of ground pork, showcased next to the living pig that

Conversation with a Goblin
It began as a sort of test, to try if my own conception of myself
tallied with his; and it didn't—not in the very least. In fact, the
description he gave of me would have done very well for the typical
goblin of fairy-tale, which, as I told him, was precisely how I saw him.
He laughed at that, and told me that, as a matter of fact, he had no
shape at all, and that my conception of him proved his description of me
was the correct one, because I had visualised myself. He said that he
would appear to me in any shape that I happened to be thinking of, and
naturally I should be thinking of my own. And I could not disprove a
thing he said; and when I looked at myself in the cheval glass, I was
not at all sure that I did not look like the traditional goblin.

Cold fusion
Those of you who follow this column have read my speculations about
cold fusion twice already in the last three months. If I'm writing
about it again, does that mean that I am out of ideas and inspirations?
Actually, what it means is that I've done enough homework to be
substantially certain (as of today) that cold fusion is real.
There are dozens of smart physicists around the world who have been
working on it, with a total budget that is tiny tiny compared to DoE
research for more conventional ideas that will soon be obsolete.
But the scientific community is flipping, and with a huge expansion in
research, the technical problems will be solved soon.
Watch this video
(actually 8 videos, 90 minutes and it starts slowly) through to the end,
and see if you don't agree with me.
Cold fusion seems to scale naturally to home-size units. We
will get our electric power, our heat and hot water all from one small
device in the basement which costs very little to operate, and whose
environmental impact is a tiny fraction of what we do now.
Can you remember what the Internet did to democratize the information
economy, news and entertainment? Cold fusion will have an effect of
comparable magnitude on the energy economy: transportation, manufacture,
plastics and other materials, agriculture, and home appliances.

Evolutionary enlightenment
I believe that those of us in the twenty-first century at the leading
edge of consciousness and culture urgently need a mystical spirituality
and a source of soul liberation that points us not beyond time but
toward the future that we need to create. I believe the spiritual
impulse today is calling us not away from the world but toward that next
big step we need to take in our world. The next step will not emerge by
itself – it must be consciously created by human beings who have
awakened to the same impulse that is driving the process.

When loneliness comes stalking, go into the fields, consider
the orderliness of the world. Notice
something you have never noticed before,
like the tambourine sound of the snow-cricket
whose pale green body is no longer than your thumb.
Stare hard at the hummingbird, in the summer rain,
shaking the water-sparks from its wings.
Let grief be your sister, she will whether or no.
Rise up from the stump of sorrow, and be green also,
like the diligent leaves.
A lifetime isn't long enough for the beauty of this world
and the responsibilities of your life.
Scatter your flowers over the graves, and walk away.
Be good-natured and untidy in your exuberance.
In the glare of your mind, be modest.
And beholden to what is tactile, and thrilling.

The sound of bombs not exploding: ten years after
Sitting on the grass as far as I could see, 650,000 people made the
biggest silence I ever heard. As the silence deepened, I thought: This
is the sound of bombs and landmines not exploding, of rockets not
launched, and machine guns laid aside. It is possible for us all.
In war-torn Sri Lanka, this was Peace Samadhi Day, March 15, 2002,
perhaps the largest meditation for peace in the history of the world.
Organized by the nongovernmental Sarvodaya movement, the meditation both
supported the cease-fire recently negotiated with Norwegian help between
the Sinhalese-identified Sri Lankan government and the Tamil Tiger
secessionist party, and celebrated the launching of Sarvodaya's
"village-to-village, heart-to-heart" Link-Up program.

Where do brains come from?
The brain is a learning machine. Already at birth, it seems to
contain more information than there is in all the DNA that told the body
how to make it.
Mathematicians have a scheme for quantifying information, so it makes
sense to talk about how much information there is in DNA. You can
also talk about how much information is in the wiring diagram for the
brain. Think of it as the instruction set for creating a computer
chip: How many lines of instructions would you need to specify how
each transistor is to be connected to the others? In humans, there
are trillions of brain cells, but only billions of DNA codons.
Presumably, all the information needed to build a brain (and the rest
of the body, too) is encoded in an animal's DNA. What can it mean
that the brain is constructed based on such a small amount of
information? Presumably, it means that the instructions aren't as
specific as you might think. The DNA doesn't tell every neuron
which other neurons to connect to. Instead, there are more general
rules about how dendrites should grow out of nerve cells and seek
partners. But still the damn thing works. It's as if I asked
you for instructions for building a computer, and you told me to just
hook up a trillion transistors so that each one is talking to about a
hundred others, and I wired them up at random, and then found in the end
that I had a working computer.
"What this means is the last (common) ancestor of the hemichordates
and the vertebrates, even though it presumably did not have a
vertebrate-like nervous system, had some very complex and
vertebrate-like mechanisms for establishing its body plan," Pani says.
"And one of the broad implications is that weird, squishy marine animals
can be very informative in terms of understanding the evolution of
vertebrate development and genetics in a way that you wouldn't expect."
Here's an
article at PhysOrg that describes structures in a sea worm that are
thought to be ancestor to the vertebrate brain. It's a start.

Transcendental experiences
It was William James who first subjected religious inspiration to
scientific scrutiny. He sought to describe
The Varieties of Religious Experience but stopped short of claiming
that the experiences could be 'explained' in evolutionary or
psychological or neurological terms.
A hundred years later, Jonathan Haidt seeks to do just that.
His hypothesis is that we are evolutionarily programmed to experience a

Low-anchored cloud,
Newfoundland air,
Fountain head and source of rivers,
Dew-cloth, dream drapery,
And napkin spread by fays;
Drifting meadow of the air,
Where bloom the dasied banks and violets,
And in whose fenny labyrinth
The bittern booms and heron wades;
Spirit of the lake and seas and rivers,
Bear only purfumes and the scent
Of healing herbs to just men's fields!

Johann Sebastian Bach, born 21 March, 1685
"On one stave, for a small instrument, the man writes a whole world of
the deepest thoughts and most powerful feelings. If I imagined that I
could have created, even conceived the piece, I am quite certain that
the excess of excitement and earth-shattering experience would have
driven me out of my mind."
— Brahms, writing in a letter to Clara Schumann about Bach's Chaconne in D-minor from Partita
#2 for solo violin, BWV#1004
Listen to Hilary Hahn,
Part 1,
Part 2
In earlier times when the "composer's intent" was less sacred and
musicians paid tribute to the music of others by transcribing and
arranging it, there were many people who, like Brahms found a world
beyond the violin in this chaconne. Mendelssohn and Schumann both
wrote out piano accompaniments that fill the harmonies that Bach implied
on the violin. Brahms himself wrote out a transcription for piano
left hand. And in the 20th Century,
Busoni wrote a piano score, and
Stokowski created a
version for full orchestra. In all,
IMSLP lists a dozen transcriptions. All this translation
and transcription is, of course, perfectly consistent with the art that Bach
himself practiced, adapting and transcribing works of his

Leonardo's dream
...realized with an athlete's burst of power,
combined with hi-tech materials and computerized control of wings.
Using videogame controllers, an Android phone and custom-built wings,
a Dutch engineer named Jarno Smeets has achieved birdlike flight.
Smeets flew like an albatross, the bird that inspired his winged-man
invention, on March 18 at a park in The Hague.
"I have always dreamed about this. But after 8 months of hard work,
research and testing it all payed off," Smeets said on his
YouTube page.
Smeets got the idea from sketches of a futuristic flying bicycle drawn
by his grandfather, who spent much of his life designing the contraption
but never actually built it.
When Smeets began studying engineering at Coventry University in
England, he realized the physics of a flying bicycle just didn't pan
out. Instead, he drew inspiration from Leonardo da Vinci's wing drawings
to build his flying machine. Along with neuromechanics expert Bert Otten,
Smeets brought his design into reality
The design is based on mechanics used in robotic prosthetics. The idea
is to give his muscles extra strength so they can carry his body weight
during the flight.
Smeets (and his arms) did just that today with the help of a pair of
37-ounce wings made out of fabric, according to a
press release.

Wired article.

But nature is a stranger yet:
The ones that cite her most
Have never passed her haunted house,
Nor simplified her ghost.
To pity those that know her not
Is helped by the regret
That those who know her, know her less
The nearer her they get.

The way science is supposed to work
By the early 1980s, the world's elite theoretical physicists had come
to a consensus that the best candidate for a Grand Unified Theory was
SU(5). This was a mathematical structure that was elegant and
beautiful, if not exactly simple, and had the potential for explaining
the bestiary of all known elementary particles.
They focused on a prediction of the theory: that protons would not
last forever, but would decay with a lifetime of 1032 years.
You may be excused for thinking that the difference between forever and
1032 years is splitting hairs. But, in fact, a tank
containing 50,000 tons of water has 1034 protons in it, so if
only you could watch it very, very closely, you might be able to see one
pop every week or so. Thus was born the
Super Kamiokande
observatory, under a mountain near Hida, Japan. Radiation
detectors and computer analysis of the kind of radiation observed could,
in theory, detect the decay of a single proton in the huge tank.
By 1990, it was clear that no protons had been observed to decay.
As a result, the theorists scrapped the SU(5) theory and went back to
the drawing board. No one talks about SU(5) any more.
I think of this as one of the finest moments in science.
Maybe the Higgs boson will meet the same fate.

Government not afraid to do the right thing
Germany has turned a corner in its energy policy, away from nuclear
power, toward solar panels, wind farms, and small, renewable sources.
"The German energy transformation is as challenging as the first moon
landing," said Peter Terium, who in July takes over as chief executive
officer of RWE, Germany's second-largest utility. "It's a huge challenge
we'll be able to master only if everyone works together."
Germany is among the first nations to grapple with a global need to
upgrade power stations. By 2035, at least $10 trillion of investment is
needed to add 5,900 gigawatts of generation worldwide, more than five
times the capacity of all U.S. utilities, the International Energy
Agency estimates. Half of that will come from renewable..."If Germany succeeds, it could be a role model for economies all over the world."

How God punishes sinners
Benjamin Franklin demonstrated in 1752 that buildings could
be protected from lightning by metal rods attached above, and connected
into the ground below. Hence began the debate over whether buildings
should be so protected. Good old-fashioned religion dictated that
God could do whatever He wanted. But the most enlightened Christians of
the day held that God acted not through miracles but through Natural
Law. Lightning was His favored tool for meting out punishment for
sinners, swift and tightly focused. Lightning rods were an
interference with God's will.
Church spires seemed to be targets of lightning more often than other
buildings, and the reason for this association was deeply debated.
Churches in America and Europe began tentatively to adopt the new
technology, until the Boston earthquake of 1755 caught them up short. It
seemed to be true that when God's choice of a measured, targeted
response was thwarted, He resorted to instruments more general and more
A good number of the new-fangled rods were removed. Elsewhere,
adoption continued at a cautious pace, as sextons continued to be fried
in the belfry. In a town outside Venice, thousands of pounds of
munitions were stored in a church basement, and when the steeple was
struck by lightning in 1767, an explosion ensued that destroyed 1/3 of
the town and killed thousands. A decade later, lightning rods were still
The story was
chronicled by Andrew Dickson White, founder of Cornell University.
"A true and noble theology can hardly fail to recognise, in the love
of Nature and care for our fellow-men thus promoted, something far
better, both from a religious and a moral point of view, than any
efforts to win the Divine favour by flattery, or to avert Satanic malice
by fetichism."

Building his dreams
Here's a man who has built 'ancient' temples, in
undergorund caves he carved out beneath his house in the Italian Alps, realizing
his visions with the help of dozens of volunteer excavators and
The 'Temples of Damanhur' are not the great legacy of some long-lost
civilisation, they are the work of a 57-year-old former insurance broker
from northern Italy who, inspired by a childhood vision, began digging
into the rock.
It all began in the early Sixties when Oberto Airaudi was aged ten.
From an early age, he claims to have experienced visions of what he
believed to be a past life, in which there were amazing temples.
Around these he dreamed there lived a highly evolved community who
enjoyed an idyllic existence in which all the people worked for the
common good. More bizarrely still, Oberto appeared to have had a
supernatural ability: the gift of "remote viewing" - the ability to
travel in his mind's eye to describe in detail the contents of any
'My goal was to recreate the temples from my visions,' he says...
In 1977, he selected a remote hillside where he felt the hard rock
would sustain the structures he had in mind.
A house was built on the hillside and Falco moved in with several
friends who shared his vision. Using hammers and picks, they began their
dig to create the temples of Damanhur—named after the ancient
subterranean Egyptian temple meaning City of Light—in August 1978. As no
planning permission had been granted, they decided to share their scheme
only with like-minded people.
Volunteers, who flocked from around the world, worked in four-hour
shifts for the next 16 years with no formal plans other than Falco's
sketches and visions, funding their scheme by setting up small
businesses to serve the local community.

Politicization of science
Central planning of scientific research could only work, Polanyi
argued, if scientific discovery was the product of specifiable,
rule-driven methods—that is, if it were wholly rational. Reflecting on
his own scientific career, Polanyi concluded instead that scientific
knowledge arose from a mélange of social processes that no purported
method could capture.
In place of scientific method, Polanyi trumpeted the importance of
"tacit knowledge." No practicing scientist learned the craft of research
from books or articles, Polanyi argued. Rather, they had to practice
craftlike skills, which they internalized via social relationships like
apprenticeship training. Scientists developed an aesthetic sense for
what counted as good science, according to Polanyi, and used any means
available to convince colleagues from rival research schools to believe
a given result. Scientists often formed their beliefs from an immersion
in particulars that resisted explicit articulation; he likened the
experience to religious conversion. To Polanyi, the routines of
scientific research could never be captured by recipes, and therefore
any effort to steer the direction of research, or subject science to
central planning, was bound to fail.

review about Michael Polanyi and the Paradoxical roots of "Social
Construction" in science
...and he stopped short of considering the deliberate perversion of science for profit and political ends.

Big picture: When it finally did happen, the game was already over.
But 17 minutes and 17 seconds into Friday night's Duneland Athletic Conference girls basketball matchup between Times No. 2 Crown Point and Valparaiso, junior Shea Pendleton lined up a 3-pointer and connected from well beyond the arc.
It was the Vikings' first made field goal of the game.
"That first half and into the second there was some of the best defensive basketball I've ever been a part of," Crown Point head coach Chris Seibert said following what became a 61-18 road win.
The Bulldogs' defense overwhelmed the Vikings. Crown Point players accounted for 15 steals and forced about half a dozen other turnovers thanks to Seibert's typical onslaught of pressure and relentless trapping the length of the floor.
If it wasn't for Viking senior Jessica Gast drawing a foul under the basket and making two free throws with just 2.8 seconds left in the opening half, Crown Point would have shut Valparaiso out going into the locker room.
"We wanted to get a big lead early in the game so they didn't have any confidence coming back," Crown Point freshman Jessica Carrothers said.
That became clear early on. And even with Carrothers being shadowed throughout the night and limited in scoring by her standard, the Bulldogs didn't have trouble getting points on the board thanks to five players registering at least eight points.
"Obviously you've got to make shots but with how we were getting turnovers and going the other way we were really helped by our defense," Seibert said. "We did a great job of moving the ball around."
Crown Point player of the game: Sophomore guard Alyna Santiago - She finished with eight points, six rebounds, four steals and three assists and earned praises from Seibert afterword.
Valparaiso player of the game: Gast - She finished with seven points and four rebounds.
Turning point: Crown Point immediately set the tempo defensively and never looked back.
Quote: "Alyna was outstanding," Seibert said. "She always is on the defensive end and obviously offensively tonight. We just wanted her to be aggressive and she did an outstanding job getting to the rim and making shots when she had to."
Beyond the box score: Friday's game was a "Coaches vs. Cancer" contest. Valparaiso raised money for the American Cancer Society throughout the evening.
Up next: Highland at Crown Point (11-0, 3-0), 7 p.m. Tuesday; Whiting at Valparaiso (3-7, 1-2), 7 p.m. Saturday

Russian ruble in the first six months of 2018 showed the strongest fall against the dollar among all the national currencies in the former Soviet Union. It is reported Bloomberg.
According to analysts ' estimates, in the first half, the Russian currency sank eight per cent is the worst result among the 11 countries of the former USSR for the period. The main reason for the fall of the ruble Bloomberg calls U.S. sanctions.
Next on the list since the end of the Tajik somoni, which fell 3.7 percent. The leader of the rating became the national currency of Ukraine (plus 6.7 percent), Georgia (plus six percent) and Moldova (plus 1.57 per cent).
According to experts Bloomberg, Western sanctions have a negative impact on Moscow's relations with foreign investors, so their attention starts to shift towards other post-Soviet countries.
The U.S. Treasury Department on April 6 issued a new sanctions list. It includes businessmen, top managers and officials. After the introduction of restrictions struck the Russian stock market and the ruble has updated the lows for half a year.

I wonder why that is ( IWWTI)
Okay Green Lantern,
My dissertation on gravity only applies to our particular dimension.
It does not apply to other dimensions, and if we happen to become disembodied spirits, it won't apply at all.
From a simple mind over matter approach, it would be really neat to learn how to levitate using superior brain power, but I think I will find that much easier to do using technology, due to limited cranial resources.
That being said, I stand corrected.
Curiosity makes me wonder
"But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father."
So with AM's extraordinary proficiency at identifying the cycles, is he pervy to what the "father" knows?
I agree that there's all kinds of ancient wisdom encoded in the Bible, things that will remain top secret to most who read it.
In my post to Wy So Lo, I was primarily talking about the basic narrative, which is a work of pure deception.
It does have some basic underlying historical relevance, but interpreting it, is much like interpreting a state of the Union address given by our commander-in-chief. Seriously, I'm not even kidding. If you reverse all the roles and apply the proper designation and motives to the characters involved, you can actually get fairly close to the truth.
As far as the hidden numbers, I wouldn't know what to do with them if they were just written out in plain site.
But I'm still assuming that it's all part of an agenda, any secret society would have access to breaking down the numbers, and what they mean. In other words, it still doesn't prophesies anything. I will concede, the agenda has been carefully followed for thousands of years. It creates the illusion of supernatural effects, that are not warranted.
So many biblical scholars point to the fulfillment of prophecy as proof of supernatural origins.
I think the biblical authors not only had an agenda, they had vast knowledge of ancient advanced civilizations, as well as their technology. They are the same ones that used, but lost the technology in a cataclysm such as Noah's flood, or the sinking of Atlantis.
To assert global domination, they knew it would take time, but they were aware of the cycles, and they knew approximately how much time. The original Old Testament should have done the job when it was written 3000 years ago, but it had to be updated because of the severe damage Jesus Christ did to the agenda. By hijacking his teachings, promoting him to a deity, some careful editing, the priestcraft was able to reassert its control over humanity with the help of the largest armies on planet Earth.
This also involved the destruction of all knowledge to the contrary where ever, and whenever it was found.
We are definitely living in the times intended for the culmination of their malevolent agenda.
Wishful thinking, they should abolish the whole damn government
Guest Post: Abolish The Supreme Court
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 02/16/2016 - 20:30
The current frenzy over the vacancy on the Supreme Court in the wake of Scalia's death should beenough to make it clear to even the most naïve observer that the Supreme Court is a partisan and political institution, and nothing like the group of disinterested non-political sages that we are supposed to believe the court to be. The idea of the court as a group of jurisprudential deep thinkers is a tale for little school children...
the DERO > just fur fun
Before Rod Serling There Was RICHARD S. SHAVER He Became A Legend In The Genres Of Science Fiction, Horror And The Arcane. He Enthralled Thousands With His Creepy Tales Of A Vast Cavern System Right Below Our Feet, Which He Insisted Was Populated By A Mentally Impaired Race Of Deformed, Sadistic, Cannibalistic Creatures Known As The Dero. And While His Bone-Chilling Accounts Were Published In Pulp Science Fiction Magazines like Amazing Stories back in the 1940s and 1950s, Richard Shaver Maintained That Each And Every Declaration He Made Was ABSOLUTELY TRUE! The Dero, Shaver lamented, were kidnapping surface-dwellers on a regular basis for "meat and torture." They had appropriated sophisticated "ray" machines that the great ancient races had left behind that made humans go stark raving mad. They spied on people and projected tormenting thoughts and voices into their heads. And the Dero could be blamed for almost all misfortunes, from minor accidents to airplane crashes and other catastrophic disasters. And, while generally confined to their caves, Shaver claimed that the Dero sometimes traveled in spaceships and had dealings with evil extraterrestrials. He claimed to possess first-hand knowledge of the Dero and their caves, because, he insisted, he had been kept prisoner dozens of miles below the Earth's surface for years. Notes one researcher: "There are 500 buildings in the United States where elevators go deeper than the basement. And those unfortunate enough to descend to this dark void either emerge nearly catatonic or are never seen again." Here then are five of Richard Shaver's best and most icy tales of the underground, a place you do not want to make your next home!

"But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father."
So with AM's extraordinary proficiency at identifying the cycles, is he pervy to what the "father" knows?
I didn't say that. It wasn't my point. I noted on his gold chart that he posted to show the syncronicity with the Bundy's a 36 year old cycle. There's not secret to doing that other than reading the chart and counting the years of what you see.
Decoding messages might have less to do with the content. Note where it occurs, not just the content. Encoded is more than the meaning of the words, it can be the rhythm (all ancient texts have a rhythm, geometra (numerology embedded in the letters A=1, B=2) it can be location and page numbers, it can be metaphors and symbology that lend meaning. It's nothing more than learning the vocabulary.
As far as the hidden numbers, I wouldn't know what to do with them if they were just written out in plain site.
I wouldn't know how to read latin if it were written in plain site either. But I suppose if I took a class on how to read latin, it wouldn't be such a secret anymore. Same with musical notation. Greek to some, but really isn't that puzzling after a few lessons. Your unconscious mind see's it, and goes right through your censors. It's screaming 5. The pentacle. You can be all you can be.
So all the people on this blog that know how to do deprogramming, it's not only past trauma that sinks into the unconscious.
It's nothing more than a language. Many Symbols are seen as numbers by the unocnsious. Although you don't know the meaning of the symbols and numbers, your unconsious Does. It's only a matter of your conscious mind bringing in the information to undersstand what another part of you does. Screwed up notion huh?
And the universe has it's language. It's different from what they taught you in school. So what makes it hidden is not so much they put a mask on it, just all the classes at the university didn't teach people how to read universal language which at one time was more universal than it is now. Common Core didn't start with Obama.
Mr Fix's theory of gravity and Friends

Hezbollah with Cuban papers?
At Least 44,000 Cubans Entered US Through Texas and Southern Border This Year, Number on the Rise - Report
Nevertheless, the administration knew that the radical Lebanon-based Islamic group Hezbollah had opened a base in Cuba, just 90 miles from the U.S, a few years earlier. In a cable dated September 9, 2011 Clinton is informed that "extremely sensitive sources reported in confidence that the Israeli Intelligence and Security Service (Mossad) has informed the leadership of the Israeli Government that Hezbollah is establishing an operational base in Cuba, designed to support terrorist attacks throughout Latin America." The cable goes on to say that "the Hezbollah office in Cuba is being established under direct orders from the current General Secretary Hasan Nasrallah, who replaced Musawi in 1992. According to the information available to this source, in preparation for establishment of the base, Nasrallah, working from inside of Lebanon, carried out secret negotiations with representatives of the Cuban Government, particularly the Cuban Intelligence Service (General Intelligence Directorate — DGI), agreeing to , maintain a very low profile inside of Cuba. Nasrallah also promised to take measures to avoid any trail of evidence that could lead back to Cuba in the event of a Hezbollah attack in Latin America."

I am considering your much appreciated response and am considering my response in which i hope to show an irrational duality of processing data that is evidenced in said response. Not trying to be smartarsed, it is just how it came out. I wont rush in to it because i may fail to learn something or equally impart something. I also might fall in to a strawman mindset or a generalization trap. In short i have not overlooked your post.
I was also wondering if there is a totally secure way we can communicate without TPTB having any chance of eavesdropping.?

This is the insidiousness of morphic fields. Sheldrakes name for forms, archetypes. They insert it into the aethers by getting published in ever MSM paper, and it infects us. It's insidious. Science creates a formula to explain how it works or how it acts against an object, all mechanical theories, and yet nobody has ever seen it (except for the US Government science team). It gets put in your consciousness. So while you might understand it's a lie, it's too late, because it is accepted as true in your unconscious, and reality conforms to that reality. Science observes what it believes to be true.
Phoebe's theory is debunked in the link that I provided. The polarity of her arguement is false too.
Matthew R. Edwards recently edited a collection of papers published by C. Roy Keys Inc. in a book called Pushing Gravity. James Evans wrote the first paper, Gravity in the Century of Light. According to Evans, Georges-Louis Le Sage (1724-1803) attempted in the 18th century to provide a mechanical explanation of gravity. In later parts of the book, we see that this explanation was embellished by others in the passage of time. However, the fundamental theory consists of a universe filled with very tiny particles moving in all directions which push upon material objects shadowing one another from the onslaught of the tiny particles. The result is movement of the material bodies toward one another, which we have called gravity. The pushing particles have been called "gravitons", bearing in mind that this term is not exclusive to Le Sage theories.
It was debunked in 1887. The aether theory. From Wikipedia
It compared the speed of light in perpendicular directions, in an attempt to detect the relative motion of matter through the stationary luminiferous aether ("aether wind"). The result was negative, in that the expected difference between the speed of light in the direction of movement through the presumed aether, and the speed at right angles, was found not to exist;
Greg Braden gaves the answer two weeks ago when somebody posted his video. Everything is created from aether, all things are energy, all matter is just condensed energy. Aether is the substance that can be molded, impressed, manipulated by thought. It's the entire theory of Neville Goddard that I posted. You are impressing upon this invisible substance with your thoughts, emotions and imagination. It acts in accordance with your believe system. When it's done on a collective level, we create the forces in nature that we observe. Even weather has been shown to act in accordance with consciousness. We explain it in terms of wind, rotation etc.... But that is only the mechanical aspect which never gets back to understanding of causality.
The reason all the ancients including the Chinese that spent pages upon pages observing the forces of nature didn't include gravity as one of them because we created it. In trying to observe it we bring our bias of how it works into our explanations. It's probably what those scientists did. They have a notion of all this bullshit aobut the big bang and how it started gravity, and therefore they found evidence of their own theory.
Aether is all things. Gravity is there before the object arrives, therefore the object is acting on itself because is made of the very same substance which is acting upon it.
A mass change in consciousness would have dire effects upon their control systems. The best way to control consciousness is through made up science. It has nothing to do with your cognitive abilities to detect it as bullshit because simply by making the postualate, it is accepted as reality which is nothing more than what you accept to be true. That is the law of aether. It does what you and the collective will it to do.
"We ourselves, and everything else, are not just objects but also secret, unseen paths for everything around us. Others may experience this as an aurora or an attraction or repulsion, yet from the most detached viewpoint, we are just an invitation to a path."

numerical, sacred geometry and symbols isn 't sinister. IMO. It's the intention combined with your willingness to accept the imagery but the symbols in themselves aren't evil. They just express a reality that people feel confused about or aren't eager to learn about, therefore they take advantage of that. They know both numbers and symbols are potent pyschological devices. It's much better for them that you remain disinterested in this reality and flip to 0 hedge to understand reality.
The reason McDonalds is the most visited restaurant probably has less to do with their Bundy Ranch Burgers than it does the promise you'll get into heaven if you eat their stuff. Or all of a sudden you feel like taking a trip to Hong Kong because a sexy asian woman you pass on that billboard says fly me. By the time, you realize why you are consuming something (I just felt like it) the message has been imprinted. Newsflow works the same way. Even what you reject gets imprinted. We understand very little about what motivates us and where our motivations come from.
A magician will put himself in a circle for protection. Not so much that the circle is protecting him only that he believes it to be so and so it is.
@ Wy So Lo
Take your time, we're not going anywhere.
If you could specifically address some of the questions raised in the video that I posted, that would be a start.
I've answered them myself, many times, both publicly and privately, they are all over this thread going back the past several years.
As far as your question is concerned about a private conversation, this site is equipped with personal messaging, but it's going to cost you 10 bucks. Make the payment to Turd, and we will be able to exchange personal information, and have private conversations.
Many of my conversations with members on this site are done that way, but a few of us use emails.
I don't know if you consider that secure enough for yourself, but it works for most of us.
LOL, gravity @ Hayman
The exact video clip that you provided, was one I saw a couple of years ago, when my daughter was watching "Friends" on reruns the day after we had a rather in-depth discussion on the subject.
I walked into the house, and she was laughing her head off, then she screamed "Dad! You've got to see this!"
She rewound the DVR, and showed me that clip.
That clip came up again in a conversation between us two days ago, when she basically "Played the part" with a few of her college classmates having a discussion on the "gravity wave" story.
I think we'll always have that clip as a point of reference. Thank you!
Green Lantern,
That's an interesting theory you've got there, and I'm going to look into it a bit further,
But since I am trying to replicate a Tesla mindset, I'm going to defer to his opinion.
Even if Tesla was wrong, his experiments supported his theories, and he was definitely in the force of nature camp, as opposed to Group consensus.
I would entertain the theory that in fact both could be true, since Group consensus is still going to need some kind of mechanism to manifest in reality.
I'm just focusing on the mechanism, (At least for now).
Schoon on cycles, connectedness, and Armstrong...
Schoon on cycles, connectedness, and Armstrong...
Fix, I actually don't see
Fix, I actually don't see anything Tesla said about gravity opposite to what the quantam guys are seeing or what that guy Paxton said. we can imprint the universal substance to use gravity or not. We are really on the same page because your essay on aether is on point but you start from once the force is in motion. I am starting from what put that force in motion and it gets sticky from here when you realize what tesla said that time is an illusion et......
That man can harness these processes, to:
-Precipitate matter from the ether
-Create whatever he wants with the matter and energy derived
-Alter the earth's size
-Control earth's seasons (weather control)
-Guide earth's path through the Universe, like a space ship
-Cause the collisions of planets to produce new suns and stars, heat, and light
-Originate and develop life in infinite forms
A radionics machine has three basic componets, you pick the frequency, symbol, healing agent, herb, oil etc.... You choose the target. Aether is the medium through which it travels but intention is the causual factor which directs the frequency to a problem state. Without intention, the machine fails.
Ultimately, we are radionic machines who can do the samething as the machine. In effect, Tesla was creating mechanical devices that could mimic the potential of humans. This is what that quote from the Veda's was saying. We possess within us the same psychological powers to overcome the forces of gravity. We are free energy machines for we produce energy, heat and invisible spectrums of light from aether embedded in the air.
Gravity's opposite force: Levity
I have also seen videos of meditation students in India levitating themselves.
Levitation is just one of our psychic abilities. Most of us just focus on one extra sensory perception, but Jim Self says there are 26 and wikipedia lists 23. Science is in denial because they say they cannot measure psychic energy or replicate psychic phenomenon. The Cabal, which seems to control science, does everything it can to deny us our innate talent and ability. Every psychic says we all have these abilities and that they can be learned or discovered by us.
