Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) are throughout us, even in case you reside in rural areas. They emanate from energy strains, televisions, family electrical wiring, home equipment and microwaves, cellphones, cellphone towers and wi-fi web connections. In fact in cities one opens their WiFi and see limitless alerts penetrating one's private area. Some individuals are very senstitive to EMF and endure tremendously from it.
The Nation revealed, "The scientific proof that cell telephones and wi-fi applied sciences usually may cause most cancers and genetic injury just isn't definitive, however it's plentiful and has been growing over time. Opposite to the impression that the majority information protection has given the general public, 90 % of the 200 present research included within the Nationwide Institutes of Well being's PubMed database on the oxidative results of wi-fi radiation—its tendency to trigger cells to shed electrons, which may result in most cancers and different illnesses—have discovered a big influence, in accordance with a survey of the scientific literature carried out by Henry Lai. Seventy-two % of neurological research and 64 % of DNA research have additionally discovered results."
The Nation continues and raises the alarm, "The wi-fi business's willpower to convey concerning the Web of Issues, regardless of the huge improve in radiation publicity this might unleash, raises the stakes exponentially. As a result of 5G radiation can solely journey brief distances, antennas roughly the dimensions of a pizza field should be put in roughly each 250 ft to make sure connectivity. "Business goes to wish lots of of hundreds, perhaps tens of millions, of latest antenna websites within the United States alone," stated Moskowitz, the UC Berkeley researcher. "So, individuals might be bathed in a smog of radiation 24/7."
"The worldwide rollout of 5G is properly underway, and we quickly may even see new small cell towers close to all faculties, on each residential road, dispersed all through the pure surroundings, and just about in all places. Among the many many potential issues with publicity to 5G radio waves are points with the pores and skin, which is fascinating when you think about that this know-how is already getting used within the army for crowd management functions."
"The 5G rollout is completely insane." Dr. Martin Pall addressing the NIH
"Permitting this know-how for use with out proving its security is reckless within the excessive, because the millimeter waves are recognized to have a profound impact on all elements of the human physique." Prof. Trevor Marshall, Director Autoimmunity Analysis Basis, California
"The plans to beam extremely penetrative 5G milliwave radiation at us from area should certainly be one of many biggest follies ever conceived of by mankind. There'll be nowhere protected to stay." Olga Sheean former WHO worker and writer of No Protected Place.
"We merely can't escape the publicity to this radiation. It's all over the place. There are such a lot of individuals utilizing cell telephones and wi-fi connections in the present day that you simply don't even need to personal a cellphone to be uncovered. You're simply as uncovered as everybody else. Each time somebody makes a name from a cellular telephone the sign is shipped to a cellphone tower. There are such a lot of calls being made by everybody throughout us and now there are such a lot of cell phone towers in operation, that each one of us are caught within the crossfire. It's like second-hand smoke from cigarettes, besides that we will't get away from it. There merely isn't anyplace to flee," writes Lynn Quiring.
Writing again in 2008 Quiring notes, "At the moment cell telephone towers have elevated dramatically in quantity. There at the moment are greater than 1.9 million cellphone towers and antenna towers unfold all through the U.S. They at the moment are discovered on church buildings, faculties and firehouses in addition to being seen on the rooftop of buildings all over the place." 5 G will take this to a completely new degree. We are not any higher than experimental lab rats besides we're allowed to stroll freely although all these networks and frequencies with no assurances of saftey.
All of us alive at present should fear about oxidative stress. In July 2015, a assessment of present research on radiofrequency radiation (RFR) was revealed by Nationwide Academy of Sciences in Ukraine, Indiana College, and the College of Campinas in Brazil. Based mostly on "93 out of 100 peer-reviewed research, it concluded that low-intensity RFR [radiofrequency radiation] is an expressive oxidative agent for dwelling cells with a excessive pathogenic potential, and that oxidative stress induced by RFR publicity must be acknowledged as one among main mechanisms of organic exercise of this type of radiation. This explains a vary of organic/well being results of low-intensity RFR, which incorporates each most cancers and non-cancer pathologies."
Neuropsychiatric Results
Low depth microwave EMFs have been proposed to supply neuropsychiatric results, typically referred to as microwave syndrome. Soviet and Western literature exhibits that a lot of the impression of non-thermal microwave exposures in experimental animals happens within the mind and peripheral nervous system. These could also be generated via roles of VGCC activation, producing extreme neurotransmitter/neuroendocrine launch as properly as oxidative/nitrosative stress and different responses. EMFs act by way of voltage-gated calcium channel (VGCC) activation.
Among the many extra generally reported modifications are sleep disturbance/insomnia, headache, melancholy/depressive signs, fatigue/tiredness, dysesthesia, focus/consideration dysfunction, reminiscence modifications, dizziness, irritability, lack of urge for food/physique weight, restlessness/nervousness, nausea, pores and skin burning/tingling/dermographism and EEG modifications.
In a current scientific research carried out by a workforce of researchers from Israel, a attainable hyperlink between microwave radiation, just like the sort present in mobile telephones, and totally different sorts of injury to the visible system was discovered. A minimum of one sort of injury appears to accumulate over time and never heal.
Killing Off the Human Race Slowly With Oxidative Stress
Oxidative stress (OS) has been recognized as one of many many mediators of male infertility by inflicting sperm dysfunction. Extreme manufacturing of free radicals or reactive oxygen species (ROS) can injury sperm, and ROS have been extensively studied as one of many mechanisms of infertility. Spermatozoa are delicate to OS as a result of they lack cytoplasmic defenses (Donnelly et al, 1999; Saleh and Agarwal, 2002). No marvel sperm counts are crashing the world over.
Oxidative stress is getting out of hand already for many causes together with the will increase of cosmic rays due to our weakening solar, continued will increase of radiation from a number of sources together with by no means ending nuclear diagnostic exams, Fukushima and different sources. 5 G will make issues worse.
A research from Israel's Tel Aviv College, examined individuals dwelling close to a cellphone transmitter station for Three-7 years. The outcomes have been startling. Out of the 622 uncovered sufferers, eight instances of various sorts of most cancers have been recognized in a interval of only one yr (July 1997 to June 1998): three instances of breast most cancers, certainly one of ovarian most cancers, lung most cancers, Hodgkin's illness (most cancers of the lymphatic system), osteoid osteoma (bone tumour) and kidney most cancers. The relative danger of most cancers was four.15 for these dwelling close to the cellphone transmitter in contrast with the whole inhabitants of Israel. Ladies have been extra prone. As seven out of eight most cancers instances have been ladies, the relative most cancers charges for females have been 10.5 for these dwelling close to the transmitter station and zero.6 for the controls relative for the entire city of Netanya.
In her extraordinary article The Radiation Poisoning of America, by Amy Worthington, we discover that research affirm that non-ionizing communications radiation within the RF/microwave spectrum has the identical impact on human well being as ionizing gamma wave radiation from nuclear reactions. Main German radiation professional Dr. Heyo Eckel, an official of the German Medical Affiliation, states, 'The accidents that outcome from radioactive radiation are similar with the consequences of electromagnetic radiation. The damages are so comparable that they're arduous to differentiate."
Amy Worthington writes, "As a result of gamma waves and RF/microwave radiation are identically carcinogenic and genotoxic to the mobile roots of life, the protected dose of both sort of radiation is zero. No research has confirmed that any degree of publicity from cell-damaging radiation is protected for people. Dr. Carlo confirms that cell injury just isn't dose dependant as a result of any publicity degree, regardless of how small, can set off injury response by cell mechanisms."
A research by Dr. Bruce Hocking in Australia discovered that youngsters dwelling close to three TV and FM broadcast towers (like cell towers) in Sydney had greater than twice the speed of leukemia than youngsters dwelling greater than seven miles away. In response to the Mount Shasta Bioregional Ecology Middle, "Research have proven that even at low ranges of this radiation, there's proof of injury to cell tissue and DNA, and it has been linked to mind tumors, most cancers, suppressed immune perform, melancholy, miscarriage, Alzheimer's illness, and quite a few different critical sicknesses."
Gabriel Cousens writes, "It's already clear from over 10,000 research on 2G, 3G, and 4G that these wi-fi community radio frequency (RF) radiation community techniques are inflicting vital acute and continual well being issues, together with life-threatening illnesses corresponding to most cancers, coronary heart illness, type-2 diabetes, and psychological disturbances, corresponding to melancholy, nervousness, and elevated suicidal tendencies."
Nevertheless EMFs are usually not the one factor growing oxidative stress. Oxidative stress will increase considerably once we are both bodily and/or emotionally stressed. That is one thing to fret about with stress and nervousness going off the charts within the age of Trump, and for positive its not all his fault. One straightforward solution to acess this drawback is by wanting on the high quality of our sleep and coronary heart fee variability (HRV), which provides one of the best measurment of our stress.
Oxidation will increase once we are uncovered to toxins, and infections. It's also elevated by sugar and chemical compounds, so the extra you possibly can reduce your publicity to those issues, the higher.
Thus decreasing the quantity of oxidative stress, we're always confronted with, is likely one of the most essential issues we will do for our well being. Although there are lots of methods of decreasing oxidative stress nothing will take down oxidative stress like hydrogen drugs. Inhaling hydrogen fuel with a hydrogen gadget can extinguish probably the most intense oxidative fires and irritation.
Runner as much as hydrogen is glutathione and even correctly made espresso may also help in addition to a superb weight loss plan and dietary supplements excessive in antioxidants. Additionally meditation, yoga and different types of tender train together with strolling. PEMF is one other necessary method however hydrogen, due to its small measurement gives us the good antioxidant as a result of it turns probably the most offensive free radicals into water.

Net 30 Vendor Account Updates
Darealiz12 posted a topic in Business CreditJust thought I would post this in order to save someone else some time. After waiting for about 2-3 months for my trade lines to post to no avail, I decided to make some phone calls to vendors who I thought may report to DNB. Here are my results: Quill - Still reports. Have to make a purchase of at least $50 and wait 19 days to pay it. (I hate this personally) Uline - Still reports. Not sure what their terms are. Grainger - Have not been able to get an account with them because they are saying you must be incorporated for at least 3 months until they approve an account with you. EzPromos - Do not report Amsterdam Printing - Do not report SupplyWorks - Do not report MSC Industrial - Do not report These are based on the individuals I spoke with in each respective business's credit department. If anyone has their purchases reporting with the vendors that I stated do not report, feel free to comment and start a discussion. Also, if anyone know of any other Net30 vendors that reports to DNB, lets start a thread.

Where Was Your Card Declined Today?
cv91915 posted a topic in Credit ForumWithin a 30-minute period this afternoon: I tried to make a < $10 purchase on Ebay using my PayPal Extras MasterCard. Declined three times in a row. No apparent reason. Next I tried the PenFed Useless RewardsTM Visa. Declined. Oops, wrong billing address. Tired again. Approved. Then I went to Vons and tried to put $11.xx on my Bank of America Cash Rewards Visa. Declined. Tried the same card again. Approved.
Hello, I have create a situation for my self that my monthly expenses exceed my monthly income so I been missing payments to my credit cards. I was thinking of cashing out one of my mutual funds and pay off two of my cards to reduce my monthly overhead, Best buy has offered me a settlement offer where I would pay them half of my total statement within 90 days and they would charge off the rest, but they would still show on my credit that this was paid but not all of it. And I still have to reach out to chase to see what options I have with them. My question is, is this a good idea right now I am way behind on the payments and killing my credit but not sure what is my best options. Any suggestions or recommendation? Also I own my home so I didn't want to so a bankruptcy.

Chex Freeze Automatically Lifted after 5 Years
Menta33 posted a topic in Chexsystems HelpI just discovered that my Chex Security Freeze was removed after seeing on my TransUnion report, in the supplemental information section, info about Chexsystems and checking account inquiries. I called them up and they informed me that previously they automatically cancelled your security freeze after 5 years, but their policy has now changed and they are now permanent. I explained removal without my permission sounded like a violation of California state law. I had to call their freeze department at 800-887-7652 and request a new security freeze be added to my credit report again.

https://www.cnbc.com/2019/02/13/a-gop-proposal-would-snatch-your-student-loan-payment-right-from-your-paycheck.html A Senate proposal would require employers to deduct federal student-loan payments from workers' paychecks. The plan — backed by the Republican head of the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee — would require borrowers to choose between having 10% of income taken out of their paychecks or deducted over a decade. People can now choose between 14 repayment plans that don't require such garnishment and that are overseen by loan-administration companies. Consumer advocates say the new plan could force people to divert money from things like food and rent.
Synchrony Bank Card Security Fee?
fury1995 posted a topic in Credit ForumJust noticed these charges appearing on all our Synchrony Bank accounts on the statements. 1.6% of the statement balance added each month that a balance posts. Was carrying a $500-ish balance under a 0% promo for CareCredit and $2,500-ish balance for Lowes under a 0% promo and saw the fees. Don't have any recollection of authorizing this service to be added to any of my or DH's accounts with Synchrony. Just looked back through statements and they started appearing (for us) in November, nothing prior. Apparently, it's been billed on all Sync Bank statements that we have. Walmart, Amazon, Lowes, Paypal and Care Credit. Anyone else?

CFPB Complaint - HSBC Bank stalling
AlphaRomeo posted a topic in Credit ForumHi everyone, I am hoping to get some advice from the community here. I have an open CFPB complaint against HSBC. To give a gist, I have one of their credit cards with a hefty annual fee. After nearly a year of using the card, I did not enjoy its rewards and continuing with the card does not make any sense. I requested the bank for a product change and downgrade my card, but HSBC told me that this particular card is not eligible for a product change, and that I must close the card itself and simply apply for a new one. Since closing my card would affect my credit history, I requested HSBC to reconsider my request, but the bank still refused to downgrade the card saying that it was part of the TnC. When I disputed that such a condition for no-product-change was never mentioned in the TnC that I signed, the bank refused to entertain me any further. Following the above situation, I filed a complaint to CFPB. Interestingly, the next day I received a mail in my 'Promotions' folder from HSBC stating that an Arbitration clause is being added to my Terms & Conditions. I promptly went ahead and mailed them a rejection notice. Following this, HSBC has now responded to my CFPB complaint saying that, it needs another 60 days to look into my complaint. At this point, it looks to me that HSBC is simply trying to stall me, so that next month, I get charged the annual fee again (that's when the card completes 1 year). This essentially means that they are free to give whatever resolution they want. And if I close the card before that, the whole point of the CFPB complaint is defeated. Is it checkmate for me, or are there still any options left?
CitiBank not reporting new balance - FICO 9
dj2b4life posted a topic in Credit ForumHey guys I'm currently looking to get a mortgage loan. In order to do this, I need to do some tinkering. My Credit Score on FICO 8 is in the 770s - 780s. However, FICO 9 shows at 699 from Experian. The reason is that CitiBank has not yet reported it's new balance to the Bureaus. The utilization on CitiBank shows 110%. It's been at least 60 days, and still nothing (even though I closed the balanced to close to 0% on each statement). They're being quite the inconvenience currently with their delays. Any suggestions? What can I do? This FICO score is really hurting me. I need to expedite this, and make CitiBank report last month's closing balance. As it's holding me back from loans I need.

USAA Credit Union
Lukic011 posted a topic in Credit ForumCan you join USAA without serving army or being related to family member who served?
Received a letter today, stating as of 09/24/18, my Barclaycard Rewards MasterCard will be transferred and converted to a Mercury MasterCard, issued by First Bank & Trust, Brookings, SD. All the terms and conditions remain the same. The turd of a rewards program remains the same (essentially 2% for gas, utility, and grocery store purchases and 1% otherwise). This card is in the sock drawer, but I put the electric bill on it every couple months to keep it active. It was a rebuilder card and one of my first cards after my BK7, so hopefully they preserve the account opening date when they make the transfer. It's currently one of my oldest open bankcard tradelines (it's 4.5 years old). I wish Barclays would have allowed me to convert it to a different one of their cards, but they never would. They got pretty stingy with the credit line though. I was initially approved for $2,000, got an increase to $2,250 after 6 months, then an increase to $5,150 in February 2016. They haven't budged the credit limit since that time, being denied them (with hard pulls) for stupid reasons (which of course, is their right so to do). It's funny, the card went from being my highest limit and very first bankcard with a limit over $5,000 (a real milestone for me) to becoming the smallest credit line that I have for a bankcard, currently. Anyway, I've never heard of Mercury or First Bank & Trust before. Wanted to hear anyone's thoughts and experiences with this product.

Starker and the crew who did the pruning were professional and pleasant. My husband and I always comment to each other how great it was to deal with a company that does exactly what we asked for, quickly and so well. So impressive and rather rare these days. Thanks for the excellent service.
Margaret E., Ottsville, PA
Starker Wright is new to our area, and has been great to work with. He clearly is knowledgeable, and I have appreciated his willingness to bring in others from Bartlett to consider a tricky situation and develop a plan of action. Rather that just hiring a company who mainly cuts down trees, I feel that Starker and the technical support from Bartlett will keep an eye on my small section of woods.
Paul B., Perkasie, PA
Starker is awesome. He took every question I had seriously. He really knows his trees. I felt at ease when dealing with him. I am happy to have found a reputable tree service that I can trust.
Ann R., Pipersville, PA
We were very pleased with the tree removal that Bartlett performed for us recently. We particularly liked the excellent communication we had from Starker Wright. He and the crew did excellent work.
Margaret E., Ottsville, PA
Bartlett did a great job removing a very large Ash tree from our wet back yard by crane to minimize damage to grassy areas. Cleaned up after themselves, very professional, and knowledgeable. Starker was great to work with.
Tina L., Hatfield, PA
The crew did a great job. Starker always stayed in touch with me during this process to keep me informed.
Dan C., Quakertown, PA
Our representative answered every single question. He never became impatient. He was thorough and informative. The technician was courteous and efficient. He too asked if I had any questions that needed answering while he was there. They came quickly and the price was reasonable. So far, the problem has been solved.

Windows 7 and Deskjet 895cxi drivers
I just installrd Windows 7 (64-bit) and can't get my HP 895cxi printer at work. It is supposed to be compatible. I think I downloaded a driver for 895cxesomehow. I removed the device from my computer several times, but when I plug in the USB slot, it is confused with a cxe. When I try to print I get always a printing error. I tried to download the right driver from the HP site and get a message that the driver is to download, but never have evidence she managed to my computer and the printer still does not print. How can I remove the cxe driver, getting correctly identified my printer and download the right driver?
Deskjet 895Cxi 895Cxe are the same printer model, they were just provided through various sales channels. The driver is the same. Are which driver you trying to download? There is no downloadable Windows 7 driver for the Deskjet 895 series on the HP site, there are only instructions for the installation of the drivers available through Windows Update.
What is the error message you get when you try to print?

Windows 7 and Deskjet printer 722C
I tried to install my office 722 C on my Windows 7 32-bit system. Windows has detected the hardware & after you download the driver, said "your device is ready to use. However, he said also "no installed printer. Could not print because there is no printer listed. Tried added my printer, but it was not on the drop-down list.
Tried using 720 C series HP's CD to install the printer, but there was only LPT1-3 listed as choices, no USB port.
I currently use this printer on an XP with a cable converter USB / parallel that I bought in 2008. The cable would be the issue?
On the HP website, it says that my printer is supported in Windows 7. Needless to say I want to buy a new printer.
I don't know what to do.
Only, I have solved my problem. I saw on a forum when you use Windows 7's "add a printer", there is the possibility of a more extended list of printers to choose from (with Windows Update). I tried & the expanded list did not have my model 722C, but not 720C, I use the same driver. So I chose 720C & the printer has been installed successfully on my new Windows 7 system. And it even prints!
Thanks HP for your forums.
Can anyone help? My printer does not recognize Windows 7 but it loaded ok before he went to PC World last week to re install. Any ideas?

Windows 7 and HP DeskJet 895Cxi
I have a new laptop with Windows 7.
I have a DeskJet 895Cxi printer.
Before I'm going to hit out of confusion I have some simple questions (!) for everyone out there.
Should I 32-bit or 64-bit of Windows 7? Or is it not important?
The driver is already part of the operating system or should I download it?
Driver version, you will need will depend on the version of Windows 7 you have *. You can find it in start, Control Panel, system, system type (32 of 64) will be close to the Center, just below the amount of RAM.
For the Deskjet 895 the correct driver will be delivered via Windows Update as described on this page. Turn on Windows Update as shown in the second method, then you can simply connect the printer and Windows automatically installs the correct driver.
I recnetly bought a Windows 7 system and I have a HP Deskjet 895cxi printer attached to my network via a HP JetDirect device. The support page says that I should join the pronter to PC via the USB cable and let windows automatically update install the printer driver appropriate "basic" functionality. My problem with this is that this printer does not support a USB connection. The PC does not have a serial port on it isn't an option either. Can I get stressed the appropriate driver so that I can be available for the installation process? Thank you

In fact, the Deskjet 895 has a USB port, it may be partially hidden by the back flap but is just above and on the right side of the parallel port. It should not be necessary to use this to isntall the printer driver. Deskjet 895 drivers are available through Windows Update, you can do the following: go to the folder devices and printers, add printer, a local port, say LPT1 (for now...), then when the list of printers, click Windows Update in the lower right. After several minutes, a printer updated list should appear, at this point, you can cancel the on install, then stable using the appropriate port.

After that my virus clean my printer does not work I have windows xp and my printer Deskjet F 300 said
After that a virus clean my printer HP Deskjet F 300 quit working they installed Windows XP from Windows 2000 and I can't make it work help
"they have installed? You had somebody "clean" your computer and they have also installed Windows XP (you used to have Windows 2000)?
The first thing you need to do is to determine if 'they' a legitimate version of Windows XP installed. Download and run the MGADiag tool. If the tool does not report that Windows is "genuine", take back it the computer and demand that 'they' install an authentic version, paid Windows XP. While they are at it, tell them to install a driver for your HP Deskjet F300.
If you do not have a genuine version of Windows XP, then go to this page: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=228&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=1128298
You have several choices to this page.
- The top line, which only says: 'Pilot' is the complete set of software including software HP's Photosmart printer drivers and the scanner of your Deskjet. As the HP notes, this is a very large download, so if you want this package, you must have a high-speed Internet connection or order the CD.
- The second line, which says "Driver - Product Installation software" includes the basic print and scan drivers. HP has said, "not all product features are supported with this installation package." I don't know what "features" are not supported if you choose this option.
- It should not necessary the "Patch" because or the other of the first two downloads is dated after the patch and so should be included. After things are installed, you can download and install the most recent of the 3 "Updates".
When you wrote that the printer "will not work" after a new installation of Windows XP, I assume that the printer is not installed at all. Just in case, however, previously, you use the package that you download from HP, follow the instructions here to clean all traces of a failed attempt to install it. (Note: remember "Step 4".) "Step 6" refers to the directions outlined in the upper part of this post.)

The Maryborough District Tennis Association held its final home-and-away round last weekend, with Avoca seizing the chance to vault over Gully White and snatch second spot on the A grade ladder.
Gully entered the match seven points clear of their opponents on the ladder, but were soon on the back foot as Avoca started strongly.
In an opening set slugfest in hot conditions, Nathan and Trevor Field continued their winning form with an 8-4 victory over Daniel Potter and Paul Lowery.
Teammates Holly Beavis and Gina Beavis were also on the ball early, proving too good for Rachel O'Halloran and Ally Ellis 8-2.
Although Gully succeeded in snaring a couple of sets, the day belonged to Avoca as Nathan Field and Megan Howell closed out the match with an 8-4 win over Ron Potter and his daughter Lauren.
The victory meant that Avoca leapfrogged Gully on the ladder by a single point and earned a double chance.
They will travel to Bealiba for the first semi-final in two weeks time, while Gully will host fourth-placed Moonambel.
The remaining two A grade games saw the bottom two sides both gain a consolation win to finish their season.
Lawn Green got the better of ladder leaders Bealiba in a Friday night clash, emerging winners by eight games despite losing more sets.
The presence of Ruby Rothman made a big difference to the Lawn side, as she teamed with Wendy Shay and Amy Shay for consecutive 8-1, 8-2 set wins.

A full moon was rising over Mount Illimani as I stepped into an alley in the Bolivian capital. I was a few paces behind Juan Mamani, a mountain magician, and we were looking for a deserted corner where he could perform a psychic diagnosis through the casting and reading of coca leaves. He needed a quiet spot with no breeze and few curious onlookers.
Finally, in the dim shelter of an adobe wall, he unfolded his stool and lay his botiquin, or medicine pack, across his knees. Emptying a small plastic bag of pale-green coca leaves, he packed several in his cheek and began to chew. Then, he placed one flat leaf on top of a weathered coin, made the sign of the cross, held his hands to his abdomen, breathed deeply and exhaled lightly onto the leaves. Lifting his hands high, he let the leaves scatter. My reading had begun.
Psychic divination by coca leaves is just one of the diagnostic tools used by the Kallawaya, or mountain magicians. Known as the Gypsies of South America, they have a long history as doctors to the Incan kings, and even today are consulted by up to 80 per cent of all Bolivians. Based in the Apollobamba range of the Andes, they travel through northwestern Bolivia and into parts of Peru, Argentina, Chile, Ecuador and Panama. They use ancient Inca trails, often travelling by foot through the ecosystems of the tropics, mountain valleys and highland plateaus seeking traditional herbs and treating patients from remote regions. While many continue to reside in the country, others now travel for only part of the year and then settle in the city, close to their urban clientele.
I had been troubled by vivid dreams about my family since arriving in Bolivia a few weeks earlier. Although nightmares are a common side effect of La Paz's 3,400-metre altitude, I had heeded the advice of Bolivian friends and, pushing my skepticism aside, was scouting the Mercado de las Brujas, or Witches' Market, hoping to encounter a Kallawaya.
These diviners of the future carry no obvious signs of their trade and don't solicit business, making them tough for the uninitiated to find. But the dozens of mountain magicians who live near the steep cobblestone streets above Plaza San Francisco in central La Paz are the most respected in the country, so I kept looking.
On the third day, I met Mamani, a third-generation Kallawaya from the Andean town of Charazani. Many of the Kallawaya speak only their indigenous language, Kechwa, so I was fortunate that Mamani spoke Spanish. Yet, with his soft, gravely voice, it was difficult to make out his words. I had my choice of questions, relating to work, health or family. Given my dreams, I chose family. Adjusting his faded black fedora and suit jacket, he took out his reading glasses and began.
One leaf caught on a slight breeze and fell to the ground.
"A bad omen?" I asked.
"No significance," he said. "The coca leaf goes where it wants to."
He ripped a pattern into one leaf that represented my father.
"See the road that your father makes," he said, pointing to the leaf that was facing in one direction. "He is healthy. But he is disconnected from Mother Earth and lives in fear." That made some sense to me as my father is known for his morbid stories.
Another smaller leaf represented my mother. Her leaf had caught on a slight breeze and landed upside down, somewhat ominously. "That means sorrow," he explained. That struck home as our family is scattered in cities across Canada, which is a source of worry for my mother.
Mamani continued: "They are surrounded by negative energy," he said, pointing to a circle of leaves. "They must reconnect with Mother Earth."
Kallawaya believe that physical illnesses originate from the soul and are caused by the ajaya, or life force, leaving the body. The healer's job is to coax it back into the body and restore equilibrium with the spirit, as well as the environment. By invoking the power of the earth, they redirect energy through ceremony.
Mamani confirmed that an offering of herbs, money and talismans to Pachamama, the Earth Mother, was needed. With thanks and armed with his instructions, I headed uphill to the booths of the Witches' Market.
They were doing brisk sales in spells on Calle Linares, where the witches' stalls are located. Chepa, a healer in a bowler hat, took charge of filling my order, much like a pharmacist would with a prescription. She told me that despite popular faith in the Kallawaya holistic methods, the continuation of the practice is at risk, owing to declining interest among the next generation of healers.
Conventional medicine, however, has begun to acknowledge the value of their treatments. The Kallawaya healers, for example, were the first to discover the use of the cinchona tree, the source of quinine, to control malaria, Chepa said. And recent studies report signs of medicinal potency in several Kallawaya medicinal herbs in the treatment of HIV.
Fortunately, as I later learned, several international agencies, such as the Pan American Health Organization and Canadian Executive Service Organization, are working on initiatives to strengthen and preserve the indigenous community and their practices.
While preparing my potion, Chepa asked where I would be performing my offering. I had to confess that I didn't have the slightest idea. She explained that sacred sites, called achachilas, play a very important role in maintaining the equilibrium between humans and Pachamama. The achachilas are hills, lakes and rocks that the Kallawaya believe have a certain power, and have names, personalities and special qualities.
As Chepa gathered a yellow candle, some copal incense, several limestone effigies, some madera del santo wood, some coloured alpaca string and several suspicious looking scoops of herbs, I began to doubt the prudence of transporting the growing bundle back to Canada.
"You must burn it in a metal container," Chepa explained. "Burn it until it turns to ashes and then bury it deep in the earth."
Reaching into her stall for a dried llama fetus hanging in a grotesque state of rigour mortis, she paused to see if I wanted to spend the extra money. Based on my grimace, she instead chopped a large hunk of llama fat from a block that looked like Crisco, placed it on the pile, and sprinkled the mixture with gold and silver confetti.
"When it burns, it will release its power," she assured me. The sizable packet was then wrapped in newspaper and sealed in a plastic bag. The total bill was six bolivianos -- or about $1.
Back home in Canada, my bad dreams far behind me, I have yet to open the package of ceremonial offerings. But, based on the odour emanating through the plastic wrap, I suspect that I better do it soon. On second thought, my parents will be arriving for a visit next week.
Just wait till they see what I brought them.
Pack your bags
Kallawaya healers and coca-leaf readers are located among the sidewalk vendors of Avenida Sagarnaga, a cobblestone street next to San Francisco Church in the centre of La Paz. The cost of readings vary, but they start at about $13. Farther up the hill, at the intersection of Calle Linares and Avenida Sagarnaga, are the shops and stalls of the Mercado de las Brujas, or Witches' Market. In addition to selling made-to-order saumereo (offerings of llama fat, flowers, coca leaves and other symbolic items), they provide herbal remedies and spell-casting services.

Her power and appearance in such artwork result in the common knowledge that Medusa is a monster. To […]Read More
Chinese Foot Binding: Pain Endured to Amuse Others
Standards of beauty vary from regions to regions. The Mayans re-shaped the heads to meet their social beauty standards. The Vietnamese blackened their teeth as a symbol of beauty and great health.

Human history is full of ways to execute or torture the victims. Even in this day and age, we are still using some kinds of torture occasionally.

Cat Mummies Discovered In 6000-Year-Old Egyptian Tombs
If a competition about who love cat the most existed, the Egyptians would win the first prize. The archaeologists excavated dozens of cat mummies and statues within seven ancient unopened Egyptian tombs. These sites are next to the Pyramid complex in Saqqara near Cairo. This becomes a strong evidence for the Egyptian cult of cat. […]Read More

Burn the Witch: 5 Notorious Witch Trials in History
Term "witch hunt" in the modern sense refers to one person's attempt to humiliate the other person without clear reason. These are generally the false accusations to satisfy the ego of one person.

Marduk: From an Obscure Figure to Babylonian Chief God

Viking Women: Free to Divorce and High Social Rank

6 Questions with Billy Ray Cyrus
Billy Ray Cyrus' life has been a rollercoaster ride, and he's still enjoying it. Cyrus catapulted from humble Kentucky beginnings to stardom with his 1992 debut, Some Gave All, which was certi- fied nine-times platinum, fueled by the hit single "achy breaky heart." it's been two decades since that auspicious beginning, and cyrus is busier than ever. he teamed with music/Tv pro- ducer brandon Friesen to launch blue cadillac music, the Los angeles-based label that issued his latest album, Change My Mind. he's working on his autobiography, "hillbilly heart," due next april, and making his broadway debut in "chi- cago" on nov. 5.
l1 What made you decide to start your own label?
Waylon Jennings told me years ago, "The way to do it these days is start your own label." And I said, "I think I'm going to sign with Sony." He got upset and said, "Signing with [a major label] is like buying a boat. There's only one day happier than the day you bought it, and that's the day you sell it." I found out that Waylon was right. The last couple of albums that I've made have been with Disney [Music Group], and I love Mickey Mouse. Mickey Mouse has been good to me and my family, but this was an opportunity for me to get back to my roots as a singer/songwriter from Flatwoods, Ky.
l2 Do you plan on signing other acts to Blue Cadillac?
My vision for the label is to give a kid, like I was 30 years ago, a chance. It doesn't have to be a kid. I'm just going to be open to talent. I'd like this to be a vehicle, no pun intended, for other artists. Nothing would mean more to me than for Blue Cadillac to be able to help other people reach their dreams too.
l3 What can people expect from Change My Mind?
I make music straight from the heart. There's not a whole lot of anything really fancy here. You won't find me painting the Mona Lisa; but I don't have any desire to paint the Mona Lisa. I might paint some old barn somewhere out in a field-that to me is beautiful. My goal was to go back and make a record that encompassed every bit of my roots, from Bill Monroe to Glen Campbell to Lynyrd Skynyrd to Led Zeppelin to Molly Hatchet. All of those influences are a part of who I am.
l4 You've been doing a lot of TV. What else will you be doing to promote the album?
There's a video for "Change My Mind" on CMT and GAC. I call it the "opening act" because [of] the depth of this album. It really opens up in January 2013. That's when we'll pick the first single, and then I'll spend the first three months of next year on a tour bus going town to town across the States and Canada. I'm going to go back to my roots. I'm going to go to little clubs. I'm going to big clubs. I'm going to go wherever it takes me. I've not had an opportunity in 15 years to do that.
l5 You've been writing your autobiography. How's that going?
Writing the book has been somewhat therapeutic. It's made me ref lect and say, "You know what? This is my life. This is where I'm at. This is the way it went down." It's as tragic as Loretta Lynn's "Coal Miner's Daughter." Much like her story, there are those peaks and valleys. I never had anything that was ever in the middle of the road. It was either real, real bad or real, real good. I never really knew vanilla or anything in the middle.
l6 How do you plan on approaching the role of Billy Flynn in "Chicago"?
I'll do the best I can. One thing I don't want to do, I don't want to copy Richard Gere. Richard Gere was an unbelievable Billy Flynn, but I'm never going to be Richard Gere. Even the other guys that I've seen play Billy Flynn, they're great, trained actors. I'm going to borrow from all of them, but there has to be an originality. When people come to see it I want them to go, "Hey, Cyrus took that role and made it his own and kept all the elements of ev- erything that is great about Billy Flynn." I want to be original in my interpretation.

|Paul Hoffert (1943-), composer, musician, author and administrator, was born in Brooklyn, New York on 22 September 1943 and educated at the University of Toronto where he received a B.Sc. in 1966. He mastered classical and jazz piano at a young age and made his first recording, "Jazz Routes of Paul Hoffert" in 1959. He also performed on the TV series "While We Were Young" with Gordon Lightfoot and Tommy Ambrose from 1960 to 1962. As a musician, Hoffert is best known for his work with the musical group Lighthouse that he co-founded in 1969. Lighthouse was the first rock group to feature jazz horns and classical strings. Lighthouse sold millions of records, toured the world and was awarded three Juno awards as Canada's top pop band for the years 1971, 1972 and 1973. Hoffert was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as part of Lighthouse in 1995. In 1975, Hoffert began focusing on composing film and television music and penned dozens of feature film and hundreds of television program scores. His film music earned him a San Francisco Film Festival and three SOCAN Film Composer of the Year awards. His concert music includes a Juno-award winning violin concerto. In many of his musical endeavours, Hoffert collaborated with his wife, Brenda. Hoffert has parallel achievements in science and technology. He was a researcher at the National Research Council of Canada in the early 1970s and returned to research in 1988 as Vice President of DHJ Research, where he invented digital audio technology for Newbridge Microsystems telephone circuits, Mattel Cabbage Patch Dolls, and Akai and Yamaha musical instruments. In 1992, Hoffert founded CulTech Research Centre at York University, where he developed advanced new media such as digital video telephones and networked distribution of CD-ROMs. From 1994 to 1999, he directed Intercom Ontario, a $100 million trial of the world's first completely connected broadband community that landed him on the cover of the Financial Post and in the Wall Street Journal. Hoffert has been an adjunct professor in the Faculty of Fine Arts at York University since 1984. As an author, Hoffert has written numerous articles in newspapers and magazines as well as several books including "The New Client", "All Together Now", and "The Bagel Effect", which detail recipes for living in the Information Age.

ILCE-6400 | α6400 E-mount camera with APS-C Sensor
The new 24.2 MP Exmor CMOS sensor raises the bar of imaging performance. Its copper wiring and enhanced circuitry make it possible to lower the wiring layer and boost light collection efficiency, in order to capture low-noise images with a wide sensitivity range up to ISO 5120011. The use of copper raises readout speed as well as the potential of advanced 4K and Full HD 120fps shooting.425 phase-detection AF points
With 425 focal plane phase-detection AF points helping to provide distinctively wide and dense AF point coverage, the α6300 focuses more accurately, efficiently and reliably on subjects throughout the frame.Enhanced Zebra function
Simplify exposure monitoring, especially when shooting in S-Log gamma setting. Target a video signal brightness level from 0-109%, set a range between +10% and -10% of that value, and zebra pattern indicates areas with that level of exposure within that range. New minimum brightness level setting reliably warns you to avoid blown-out highlights.

Selecting The Hotel That Gets You The Most Value-Hotel housekeeping cartArticle written by-Herndon Wren
When you are traveling, you're often going to find yourself staying in a hotel. Have you ever stayed at a hotel that just did not live up to your expectations? Surely you're abiding by your budget, and there are of course going to be several to choose from. In order to make the best lodging decision on your next trip, follow the advice that is about to be discussed.
To make sure that you don't have an allergic reaction to the soaps and shampoos that you find in hotel rooms, bring your own, particularly if you have sensitive skin. While it's nice to find the freebies, the rash that sometimes results is quite unpleasant. Take along your own things to keep things clean.
To keep your family active and engaged when you are in a hotel far from home, talk to the concierge when you check in to get a list of nearby attractions. At the end of each day, sit down and map out a plan for the next morning. Learn Even more Here gives you more vacation time and less time sitting in front of a television waiting to decide what to do.
Prior to beginning a hotel search, try thinking about what accommodations you want and can afford. Figure out if the hotel's location is more important than its price or if you limited to hotels under a certain price range. Also consider whether you need one that has items like spas and fitness centers or just a beautiful view.
If you know that you will need to make phone calls from your hotel room, check to make sure you will have free Wi-Fi service. Rather than using the in-room phone, and getting charged an arm and a leg, use an Internet phone service that is free. For example, both Skype and Line are possibilities.
If you are interested in "going green" when traveling, try going to a "green" hotel. Start by looking for these hotels online. There are several organizations that let you search for these hotels easily like Green Hotels Association and Green Globe. They will have a comprehensive list of green hotels in different locations.
When booking your room, get exactly what you want. If you want a good view, make sure you get one. If you want to be away from the pool area, make sure you get that as well. Look at a layout of the hotel before calling or booking so you have a good idea of what to expect.
Do not always assume that staying on the club floor of a hotel is a great way to waste money. While you may have to pay for this upgrade, you will end up saving more money in the end. This is because things like drinks, appetizers and free breakfast are part of the deal, and these things are very expensive when purchased separately.
Adventure Travel: 15 Must-Know Packing Tips
A few days before a trip, begin a list on paper or your phone. Write down items that are needed and obscure: passport, maps, sunglasses, hat, lip balm, water bottle, a book for the plane, etc. Keep the running list close at hand and add to it as things pop into your head. Keep it saved on your phone (or written on paper) for your next trip, and you'll be ahead of the game.
Print out all important documents for a trip, including hotel reservations, rental car info, directions, and any contacts. (Don't rely solely on digital copies on a phone.) Make a photocopy of your passport and store it in a different part of your luggage than your real passport; in a worst-case scenario, you'll have a backup. Adventure Travel: 15 Must-Know Packing Tips
If you are planning to stay in a hotel for an entire week or longer, ask the hotel about long term price discounts. Hotels will often have weekly and monthly rates which are unpublished. These can offer significant price breaks for your hotel stay. Be sure to mention it upfront.
When staying in a hotel room, are you sometimes concerned with the safety and security of your room? For less than $3 dollars you can alleviate these fears. Purchase a rubber doorstop and always pack it with your other essentials when traveling. It is simple to use and is highly effective. Simply wedge the doorstop under the inside of the door. Combined with the door's deadlock, no one stands a chance of coming through your door uninvited.
To keep your car safe and secure while you are staying at a hotel, make sure that you either bring your valuables inside or conceal them in the trunk when you park the car. Even if check it out lock the doors, if valuable items are visible, thieves will often break in and take them, so be proactive and save your treasures.
Sign on to Facebook and find the page of the hotel you are staying at. Write a little message on their page, and see if the staff responds. You never know, they may offer you a special perk! If nothing else, keep up with what is happening on the page in case any specials are announced.
It is not a good idea to place the "maid service needed" sign on your door at a hotel. This is a dead giveaway that you are not in the room. It can attract people who want to steal your valuables. It is better to notify the desk when you need maid service than to leave out the sign.
Check out the prices at the hotel website. Sometimes the hotel website will have deals that trump the hotel discount websites out there. Before you pick a deal be sure to do this due diligence. You can even call the hotel to ask if they have any unpublished rates.
To keep sand out of your hotel room when you are staying at the beach, make sure that you and the kids stop at the hose or faucet at the entrance of your hotel on the beach. If there isn't one at your hotel, find one nearby, and then either dry your feet off and slide them into your shoes, or walk barefoot back to your hotel.
The best time to get a discount on a hotel stay is by booking your room 24 hours before you plan to go. This may seem like a big risk, but it can lead to big discounts. Hotels are more likely to give discounts at that time since the room may not be booked otherwise.
Remember that some hotels allow negotiation for room rates. It doesn't hurt to try and haggle to see if you can. It can save you some additional money, and that's always a good thing. The worst that can happen is that the receptionist says no, so give it a shot.
Don't take anything from the room when you depart. Housekeeping keeps track of linens. If you just fall in love with the towels or pillows, ask if you can buy them directly from the front desk of the hotel.
A bad hotel is hard to forget but a good one will give you great memories for a lifetime. So picking the right hotel for you is a vital component of any trip, whether it is for business or pleasure. So remember the advice from above, do your homework and your stay will be extremely satisfying.
