The world is full of great entertainment, music, television, movies, games. You name it and someone somewhere has put it together for our enjoyment. The one massive obstacle to our participation in this fun fest is the army of lawyers and accountants currently blocking all attempts to allow unfettered access to the content, in order to protect their fading business models. And this is not about piracy, it doesn't even matter if you're happy to pay, they still won't let you.
The result is one part frustration, one part anger and 8 parts 'let's do it anyway', and that's where the excellent Unotelly service comes into play. This new Canadian based service provides a sophisticated DNS routing system which allows anyone to access content legally across borders on their computers and mobile devices. There's no pirating involved, you need to be either accessing free content, or content that you have a legitimate subscription for, but if you do, then you're no longer barred from watching or listening just because you're in a different country or continent.
There are about 70 channels of entertainment available, ranging from Netflix, the BBC, Spotify, ESPN, Amazon Instant Video and more. The system works by using a set of DNS servers around the world to channel the content to the user, bypassing the blockades set up by the providers. Once you have the system set up on your phone, computer or games console, you can access any of the channels from any country as long as you have a browser and a web connection, which is an improvement over standard VPN systems which run only on specific devices and configurations.
In operation it's similar to the free Tunlr.net service we featured a while ago, but in this case, because it's a commercial fee paying service you get premium results. The delivery of HD video resolution is first class, no degradation in quality at all, no jitters and no loss of sound or signal. It's as though you're accessing the programs from next door. And because the service is focused strictly on the channels it serves, there's no degradation of your existing Internet connection as there can be with standard VPN alternatives, the net runs as fast as ever on your device or computer.
Set up can be a tad fiddly if you're a technophobe, although there's a simple freeware download for Windows users, which helps to make the whole process a one button-click affair. The system supports Mac and Linux too, since it's just making DNS server changes, and if you have multiple computers and devices in your home network, you can change settings on the broadband router itself and instantly get access to all the channels from any device in the building. The support site contains a large number of easy to understand configuration tutorials for every situation, which makes it much easier to get going quickly.
The company behind the tech is pitching this to anyone who wants to watch content from the US, Canada or UK from outside those countries; for example ex-pats, those on vacation or business trips, and those who like to access their home subscriptions from their tablet computers or smartphones on the move. In practice we found that access to some of the video content on smartphones was a little patchy, not because of Unotelly, but because the content providers deliberately restrict playback on mobile devices in many cases. More lawyer control in action?
There's no streaming bandwidth cap, the speeds are at the 1000Mbit level and it works on Android, iOS, Roku, XBox 360, Playstation, smart TVs, Blu-Ray players, you name it. There's no minimum sign up period, and there's a free plan which lets you access 13 channels of content including Rdio, Pandora, Bloomberg, MTV, CBS TV and more. Paid plans start at $4.95 a month via Paypal or credit card.
We found the service to be top notch, with amazingly high quality resolution and playback of both audio and video. You have to remember also that you need an account with the premium content channels like HuluPlus of Vudu, which is not easy to do if you're not a native resident of the USA, so that might restrict your choices a little, but no doubt there are ways around that (get an American friend to subscribe for you?). Overall this is a perfect example yet again of how easy it would be to provide a world class global entertainment service without spending billions of dollars on infrastructure, if only the industries concerned would catch up to the new millennium.
The more we see these new innovative options pop up, the more we're convinced that one day it will happen, maybe only when all the current generation of suits are dead or retired, but it will happen. Won't that be fun?

Project Jigsaw, which is intended to provide a module system for Java, has been deferred from the Java SE (Standard Edition) 8 release planned for next year until Java SE 9, which is due in 2015, a high-ranking Oracle executive revealed on Tuesday.
In announcing the deferment, Mark Reinhold, chief architect of the Java platform group at Oracle, cited insufficient time and technical issues. "The proposed development schedule for Java 8 expects work on major features to be finished by May 2013 in preparation for a final release around September," Reinhold said in a blog post. "Steady progress is being made, but some significant technical challenges remain. There is, more importantly, not enough time left for the broad evaluation, review, and feedback which such a profound change to the platform demands."
[ Think you know Java? Test your programming smarts in InfoWorld's Java IQ test. | Inclusion of Jigsaw in Java has raised concerns about possible conflicts with the OSGi dynamic module system. | Meanwhile, Oracle keeps hopes alive for JavaFX and for Java on iOS. | Subscribe to InfoWorld's Enterprise Java newsletter for the latest on Java. ]
"I therefore propose to defer Project Jigsaw to the next release, Java 9," Reinhold concluded, adding that he aims for regular two-year release cycles of Java going forward. Jigsaw previously had been proposed for inclusion in Java SE 7, which was released last summer. But it was pulled in 2010 to enable shipment of Java SE 7 by last year.
There have been several challenges, including modularizing Java SE and the JDK (Java Development Kit) while maintaining compatibility for existing code, Reinhold said. "We have, moreover, yet to design and prototype an approach to supporting containers such as IDEs, Java EE application servers, and applet containers, all of which require some amount of reflective dynamism. We're reasonably confident that we can work through these issues, but doing so will most likely take us past May 2013."
Reinhold cited benefits of the module system, which is intended to ease construction, maintenance, and distribution of large applications and allow developers to the escape the "JAR hell" of Java archive files, Reinhold said. JAR files have provided a "brittle and error-prone class-path mechanism," he said.
"[Modular Java] will change the way that the Java platform itself is deployed, and it will change the way that developers build and deploy libraries, frameworks, tools, and applications," said Reinhold.
Modular Java also will enable convergence among Java editions, Reinhold said. "A truly modular Java platform will support customizable configurations that scale from large servers down to small embedded devices and, in the long term, enable the convergence of Java SE with the higher-end Java ME Platforms. Modular applications built on top of a modular platform can be downloaded more quickly, and the run-time performance of the code they contain can be optimized more effectively."
Java SE 8 could have been delayed until mid-2014 to accommodate Jigsaw, but Oracle chose to defer the modular system altogether. Oracle's decision to delay Jigsaw was the right one, said analyst Al Hilwa, of IDC. "Java does not exist in a vacuum, and delays in the Java modularity project of the JDK will no doubt hinder certain parts of the ecosystem. However, under the circumstances, I think it is wise to prioritize schedule over features."
Java SE 8 and the accompanying JDK 8 also have been slated to include such features as Java Virtual Machine convergence and JavaFX 3.0, as well as bulk parallel operations via Project Lambda.

If you had the misfortune of missing the Sub Pop Silver Jubilee in Georgetown last Saturday, you can still catch some action at Fantagraphics Bookstore, All City Coffee, and the Sub Pop Mega Mart.
The seminal years of the legendary Seattle label remain on view in SODA POP: Super Sugar Big Buzz at Fantagraphics Bookstore, where you'll find early works by Peter Bagge, Charles Burns, Lynda Barry, Daniel Clowes, and other important artists creating the Sub Pop aesthetic.
Next door at All City Coffee is the companion exhibition CP25/SP25, featuring 25 arresting mages by famed photographer Charles Peterson commemorating 25 years of the Sub Pop phenomenon. Don't miss the last weekend of the Sub Pop Mega Mart, scheduled to close their temporary quarters across the street on Sunday. This Friday, June 19 get a groove on with an in-store DJ set by Shabazz Palaces.
And in case you somehow missed it, here's a Charles Peterson picture of our own Janice Headley during Mudhoney's unprecedented set on the top of the Space Needle last Thursday as she snaps a picture of Peterson and Fantagraphics curator Larry Reid as they buzzed the pit in a helicopter at the end of the show. Awesome inadequately describes the moment.

from NaturalSociety.com: By summer of 2013, US governing bodies, or, the alphabet soup of
corruption (USDA, FDA, etc.) are expected to grant permission for
scientists to roll out genetically modified salmon and allow for genetic
engineering in farm animals for human consumption.
These 'foods' are grown using growth hormone genes taken from sterile
fish. The salmon that are grown using this form of GM farming will be
the first in a series of about 30 fish that will be unleashed for pubic
consumption. This time it isn't Monsanto at the helm of the evil plot to
make us sterile and cancerous, but a company named AquaBounty. One of
its major shareholders is the Intrexon Corporation, owned by a pharmaceutical company called Clinical Data Inc (acquired by Forest Laboratories).
This company is using world food shortages to justify growing
genetically modified fish and farm animals, but arguably, there is no food shortage.
We throw away millions of tons of food every year. Countless people only starve due to the engine of political/corporate greed, like the 14.5 billion dollars worth of food heisted by politicians in India recently and kept from small village food pantries. North American food waste alone could feed the entire planet.
So what does a company like Aqua Bounty (Clinical Data, Inc.) stand
to gain if we eat foods that cause cancer and make us infertile? We then
have to buy cancer drugs and chemo. We just might think of taking drugs
that make us able to create our own young. It wouldn't be the worst
plan to make us sick and desperate and milk us of our money. When will
GMO stop? It's beyond objectionable, it's pure lunacy. Our entire food
supply is being taken over by pharmaceutical companies.
Interestingly, a genetically modified salmon created by the company AquAdvantage was actually blocked for approval by Congress back in 2011
due to serious health concerns. The good news is, whether or not the
FDA chooses to approve this genetically modified salmon for sale in the
marketplace now, supermarkets like Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Aldi, and
others have decided to refuse the sale of AquaBounty's modified salmon.

A Bold Proposal for Conservative GOP Candidates
"My brothers and sisters, some from Chloe's household have informed me that there are quarrels among you. What I mean is this: One of you says, 'I follow Paul'; another, 'I follow Apollos'; another, 'I follow Cephas'; still another, 'I follow Christ.'" – 1 Corinthians 1:11-12
As Jesus warned, "If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand" (Mark 3:25). Nothing has borne out this reality in recent decades like that exasperating spectacle called the Republican presidential primary. These last few GOP horse races have been jam-packed with would-be conservative presidents who, after infighting with largely simpatico opponents, have canceled each other out, limped off to lick their wounds and left the perpetually underwhelmed GOP base to stay home and not vote for "imminently electable" establishment paragons like Presidents Dole, McCain and Romney. Divide and conquer. That's how the "moderate" RINO establishment plays the primary.
And then they lose the general.
Albert Einstein famously quipped that the definition of insanity is "doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." In that sense, we conservatives are insane.
How about trying something new?
As John Fund told Newsmax TV in January: "If Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum both run for president in 2016, they will split the primary votes of most conservative evangelicals and open the path for the nomination to somebody else."
I agree, but I'll take it further. Add Ted Cruz to the mix and you divide the conservative Christian vote – the majority base of the Republican Party – three ways. I've had the distinct honor of visiting with each of these fine leaders and could enthusiastically support any of them in a general election. But if they all run, chances are neither I nor anyone else will have that opportunity.
Still, it gets worse. Add Bobby Jindal, Scott Walker, Rick Perry and Ben Carson to the mix and the pie pieces turn to slivers. Lop on a scoop of Rand Paul to keep the libertarians happy, slice in Marco Rubio, Michele Bachmann, Sarah Palin and others, and the votes become crumbs.
I'm not alone on this.
"What has happened in the last two presidential election cycles is that the candidates that the Christian conservatives favored split the votes up," Tim Wildmon, president of the American Family Association told CNN in a recent interview. "When you get three or four social conservative candidates splitting up the vote, McCain and Romney are going to win."
Or Jeb Bush.
I promise you that for 2016, Bush and the Republican congressional leadership are salivating over the prospect of a packed conservative field. They're hoping that every conservative Christian pol in America will soon announce his presidential bid. As they offset one another, Jeb (or some other establishment candidate) will, once again, be the last man standing.
And, once again, he'll lose.
Admittedly, there is no easy answer. "A major roadblock in unifying behind a singular candidate," observes CNN, "is the deep, personal relationships that social conservative activists and leaders have developed with individual candidates over the years. As one activist noted, 'You bleed with them in battle. There are alliances, friendships … people who worked hard for you. You don't want to burn them.'"
So here's my proposal. Don't burn them. Let's take "social conservative activists and leaders" out of the picture on the front end. Let's let the candidates decide who should run. Let's let them "unify behind a singular candidate" and then the rest of us can follow suit.
A conservative presidential primary summit
Maybe I'm dreaming, but I think it could happen. It would take tremendous courage and conviction on the parts of each of the aforementioned candidates (and any other credible conservative who might decide to run), but if a majority of them signed off on the idea, this thing could happen.
I'll let them hash out the details, but here's the general idea. Before too many of them officially declare, I propose that all prospective conservative candidates gather at a pre-determined, undisclosed location. They could then shut themselves in a room, alone (with no staff or supporters), for as long as it takes. Each candidate would have an allotted amount of time to make his or her case to the others as to why he or she is best suited to take on Jeb Bush and the GOP establishment in the upcoming primary. Q&A, open discussion and collective prayer and fasting would play a critical role.
After everyone is satisfied, they would then vote, via written ballot, for the one candidate (other than themselves) who they believe can take it all.
Having signed an agreement beforehand, they would then publicly announce their support for the candidate with the most votes. In the months leading up to the general election cycle and beyond, they would actively campaign on behalf of that candidate and strongly encourage their supporters, including potential voters, activists, leaders and organizations, to likewise band together behind that candidate.
To the victor go the spoils. But not all the spoils. If the winning conservative candidate ultimately defeats both the GOP establishment in the primary and Democrats in November, then perhaps it could be agreed that the other candidates be given, in reward, the vice presidency, a Supreme Court nomination, a Cabinet-level appointment or the like.
We saw a national thirst for true conservative leadership on display in the 2014 mid-term elections. In addition to being a repudiation of Barack Obama's insane, cultural Marxist policies, the election was a firm rebuke of the Democrat-lite GOP establishment. It is the conservative candidate, not the establishment candidate, who will defeat Democrats in 2016.
But only if we have a conservative candidate.
Recently, several of the individuals mentioned above attended a California event organized by the Family Research Council. According to Newsmax, "One woman who took part in efforts to identify a single candidate acceptable to social conservatives addressed [Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal] with what sounded like a supplication: 'I would love to see you godly leaders pray and fast and see who God would be anointing to raise up.' Adding, 'we would rally behind him. We cannot be so divided. Our money, our time, our loyalty is so divided.'
"Jindal responded: 'Amen.'"
To which I respond: Amen.
Can you make it happen, Governor?

(Teachers: After the students have completed the activity, you can share with them the actual decision of the Newark Board of Pollution)
What did they finally decide to do?
"Grave indeed was the situation at the end of the eighth decade. The East Jersey Water Company, of which Garrett A. Hobart of Paterson, vice-president of the United States in the first McKinley administration, was the moving spirit, agreed to supply Newark with a water system, complete for $6,000,000. It was proposed to build a dam in the Pequannock water-shed, erect reservoirs, store water in a region having a flow of 25,000,000 or 30,000,000 gallons, build a pipeline to the Belleville reservoir, and then turn the plant over to the city. The offer was accepted and the celebration of the new system it was expected would be held in the autumn of 1891. The colossal enterprise, the most ambitious undertaking of Newark up to that time, was not ready, however. Each day in 1892 was named for turning on the water.
The telephone message came at last at 9:57 on the morning of January 12, to the City Hall, announcing that the water had just been turned on in the mains and was flowing along toward the Belleville reservoir. Engineer Herschel, of the East Jersey Water Company, released the water at the dam. The flow was then eight million gallons daily.
The total amount spent upon the system up to 1916 was about $21,234,000, ..."
from: Narratives of Newark
Suggestion for using The Challenge of Newark's Water Supply: Students can work in small groups or pairs on this activity. There are many documents to be examined, and students may benefit from concentrating on a few documents and sharing their findings in small groups. These groups can then write and present their speech together.
- Draw a map of the pollution sources and cities that used the water from the Passaic River. Get a printable blank outline map of New Jersey. Use Professor Leed's report to map out the location of industries, sources of sewage, and the cities that used the Passaic as their water source. After the locations are marked, follow the path of the water as it travels to Newark. How much pollution do you think it has gathered by the time it reaches Newark? Check your answers using the map from Professor Leed's Report. You can also use this list of questions in conjunction with the map.
- Instead of writing persuasive speeches (or in addition to), the students could create a public education pamphlet or poster to inform the public of the information gathered by scientists. The posters could inform the public of the dangers and source of water pollution.
- Use the statistics to make charts and graphs showing the death rates in New Jersey. Do they get better or worse over time? What do you think accounts for these changes?
- Compare the death rate statistics in Newark to those of other major cities. Was the death rate higher or lower? Do you think the water supply was the main cause?
- What is the Newark water supply like today? Research the current quality of water in Newark, NJ. See suggested websites
- Document Analysis: Use the Critical Analysis Written Document Sheet to analyze one or more of the documents under the Resource Links to the left.
- Each of the testimonials emphasizes a different problem in using the Passiac River. Have students read through the testimonials and make a list of all the problems they can find. They can use the testimonials in conjunction with the map to better understand the various types of pollution.

About Doom33ReplyDelete
If this information is correct, then it is truly wonderful news.Delete
Knowing that the crazy-psychotic cabalists, cannot unleash chaotic death and destruction at the time of mass-arrests, is very good news -if true.
I pray for the victory of the light.
great information thnx!Delete
This information came from Cobra, on the post titled The Veil on June 18, 2012. There he describes Doom 33. So it is wonderful that it has been removed. A big accomplishment, I'd say.Delete
"Physical and non-physical Archons have a plan with a codename Doom33 to prevent the mass arrests from happening. According to that plan, when the mass arrests would start, the non-physical Archons would give a signal through occult rituals to top physical Archons inside SMOM (Knights of Malta) and among 33rd degree Freemasons. Those people would then give orders through their links inside the military and alphabet agencies to create as much destruction and havoc as possible. This goes along with the Armageddon End times prophecies that are highly respected among the physical Archons. They would do anything to see those prophecies fulfilled. You do not need to be afraid of those plans as Light forces have detailed plans to prevent most of this from ever happening."

Fantastic news that Doom33 has been removed! Well done, to the RM!ReplyDelete
So, if Doom33 has been removed, that means the final takedown of the cabal/archons can commence, correct? This is FANTASTIC news! They would no longer be able to cause destruction and chaos and can be arrested! Combine this with Stardust 2 + 3 and oh wow! WOW! Thank you Resistance! Thank you COBRA! Thank you Light Forces! I'm so excited and happy! :DReplyDelete
Very interesting "About Doom33 Video".....obviously many of the dates were wrong as we have all experienced.............. So does this mean that the veil is down or just about to come down permanently and we do not have to worry about all hell breaking loose? How the heck does someone find that out? 1-800-Archon-info......ReplyDeleteReplies
The veil is dissolving. I see it, and understand how it is being done. Many Resistance workers are working together. Yesterday was a small victory in another way. I will not detract from this page by posting it here, but it is all written on my blog, what happened the past day. It is Electric!Delete
Someone said that the veil around the earth that isolated us from the rest of the galaxy was removed yesterday (12/6). You can feel the difference. Can anyone confirm?ReplyDeleteReplies
Cobra, with doom33 removed does that mean that the cabal lost their way to use humanity as meat shield at the time of the arrests? Please respond!ReplyDelete
Liberation NOW!
If this is what I think it is, it's really, *really* good!ReplyDelete
Here in finland we had independence day 12/6 and while our elite partyed in a very luxurous (and doomy) gathering led by our President, there was first time after WW2 abit bigger protest against elite and corporation control. Police forces labeled protesters as "scums" and general opinnion was very hostile against protesters (they did break property, bash police horses with sticks and other stupid stuff) but in general their message was noble: stop slaving us. Now.ReplyDelete
Sadly not that many Finn's have not yet opened their 3rd eye, but yesterday there was a popular talkshow on a prime time TV that covered reincarnation, angels and other metaphysical issues alot more indepth than ever before.
So times are changing also here in the dark snowy north europe, slowly but still.
Had an interesting dream today, right off the display of the "black&white" ally intelligence I was mentioning here before (the door way to this intelligence is symbolized by a morphing checker board).ReplyDelete
The reality was symbolically reconstructed before my eyes, can't say if its good or bad, but some change has happened on a fundamenal level. Was this related to your message? I do not know.

Iran hasn't been the aggressor with colonialist intentions in life times. The link below is to a recent interview of Ms. Karen Hudes by beforeitsnews, where she states that Iran is planning on releasing free-energy technology to it's people! It would now make perfect sense why the incessant, baseless warmongering is directed at Iran, in particular, by Israel and the Saudis.ReplyDelete
Also, two Brazilian inventors, claim to have invented a free energy device and are now selling this device to the public. The rumor mill says global distributors will come online in January of 2014.
Victory of the Light!
And, if we followed the 'natural' 13-month calendar, Friday the 16th of December 2013, would be the end date of the Mayan Tzolkin calendar, or 13-13-13, as explained in this Youtube link below. What I find very interesting, is that many previous and current leaders and heads-of-the-state, many of them belonging to the SMOM (or the Knights of Malta), gather in South Africa on that date. I don't know about you guys but I always thought Fridays special when they fell on the 13th of the month…
thats handy that most of the leaders had an excuse to be over there for Mandela's funeral.Delete
Freia darling!! Sammy here.... Iran is getting what comes to it because of the treatment of their own people, The regime at the time of the revolution joined hands with the CIA when they toppled over the Shah in the 1970s. Until the cabal puppets within Iran leave and allow Iran to be free they deserve everything that comes their way. BTW my mother is from Iran, so i understand the crap that goes on there and the drama that they create with Israel! Karma is dealing with them now.Delete
Yes, Sammy, I am aware of that. I personally know people who had to flee Iran during the revolution of 1979…But this is a internal issue of Iran as they are not the aggressor against other nations, regardless of so many false flag accusations, and should be resolved without foreign countries and agencies getting involved - once again - as they are not doing it to help the people of Iran out of the goodness of their heart but what they can gain from it - once again. This is getting really frustrating…Haven't we learned anything from the (more recent) wars in Iraq and Afghanistan? These countries are in complete chaos now, and children are born with birth defects due to nuclear weapons and ammunition made with uranium which are widely used around the world. Nothing good comes out of wars, only death. Wars ONLY create more wars and misery to people, yet benefit the very few. These endless wars must end already, haven't we all had enough? Really? I actually thought that only military-industrial complexes want war, not the people, but I guess I was wrong.Delete
I would like to point out, "who are we to point a finger at Iran anyways while most people around the world live in inequality and under oppression of their own governments"?? In the U.S. the actual deficit is around $200 trillion and the real unemployment rate is 30-31%, yet the msm is completely mum about it.
I thought this news would have been good news to many and was simply referencing Iran because of their free-energy plans. Very few are still unaware that these technologies even exist! Don't you think other nations would demand the same once they learned about it and jump on the bandwagon? It would be like a wild fire, that's why these plans are so fiercely opposed by the cabal. The bottom line is, believe or not, access to free-energy would mean NO MORE WARS.
Cobra could you give me a comment on this article. Your input would be appreciated, it seems that the author is saying many of the things I have heard you say, while no one else seems to be focusing on it. http://www.ascensionhelp.com/blog/2013/08/23/why-i-am-no-longer-a-light-worker/ReplyDeleteReplies
I resonate a lot with this article and, Yes!, Cobra, please, I need too at least a clue about. Would be much appreciated. Light, Love and Liberty to all souls !Delete
Cobra did comment about that article--not naming it though--in his monthly update with Alexandra Meadors on August 27, 2013. Since the article wasn't named, just referred to, I am making the assumption that this was the article you mean. It was a few days after the article had been posted. This is what Cobra said in the transcript. "Alexandra: I wanted to first bring up a controversial article on the false light based spiritual hierarchy. Are you familiar with this article? COBRA: First of all I do not agree with that article or anything written in that article. 1. Ascended Masters are not part of the corrupt hierarchy. Ascended Masters are Beings. Each has had an incarnation on this planet and have managed by their own discrimination to transcend all the matrix and liberate themselves and now are helping us on the other side of the veil. Reptiles have started a massive campaign. Starting in 1996. They are not part of the false light. Ascended Masters are part of the real light. Each person that had a personal experience with the Ascended masters will be able to testify that it is so." http://galacticconnection.com/all-interview-transcripts/cobra-and-alexandra-meadors-transcription-and-listeners-q-a-for-aug-27-2013/Delete
mystikmoon13, i too would like to hear his comment.Delete
last week i was going through a phase of, "everything i've been following for the past 3 years and that's been giving me hope and strength to go on (ie: hopium messages) is from the false light. AAAAGGHHH! all the ascension symptoms (mental, physical & emotional) that the channelers claim are us adjusting to the new frequencies, while the whole time making my life totally so i cannot function (very horrible exhaustion) at all, are ACTUALLY the effects of implant energy siphoning devices!! " that obviously prompted a: "what the heck IS true?' phase.
does True, Divine Light ever cause some weird symptoms? maybe. i don't know.
but it makes perfect sense that channelers who are unknowing working for the false light would teach us to just accept/lie down and take these symptoms, and just "trust".
i've almost read and listened to everything on cameron's site there. you're right, him and george k (which when i first heard him talk about false light, i readily dismissed it was fear-speak, which is probably what we're programmed to do) along with an organization i found in my own town are the only ones i've heard talk about implants & false light. anyway, i was re-evaluating whether to trust cobra's intel (when i'm fully healed, i'll be able to 'trace the energy back' and KNOW for myself) but until then... so i did find in the comment section where cameron referenced cobra. and it sounds like HE supports what cobra does, so that was a very nice relief. cameron's aware of the mass meditations and the 140,000 or whatever it takes to really put a dent in the ankle biters grid. he supports all that.
so, crazy, huh? i was getting so much guidance and hope from channelers like ron head and aisha north (people on HER site are REALLY going through the wringer with bad exhaustion and mental confusion!!) and then to process this new information!? wow.
is there ANY channeler out there who brings forth messages from the True Light? i don't know. but the fact that none of them address implants, which seem to be the biggest thing holding all of us back, is very suspicious.
in short, personally i see all channeled messages, even thought they are communicating actual truths (that's how they trick you) as TROJAN HORSES. cameron calls getting away from false light as the Second Awakening. his information is almost exactly what the people i've met in my town are telling me. so, thank Creator for that confirmation!!!
yes, i agree with Cobra..... Inelia Benz has been very "off" in some of her perspectives of late.Delete
This is the Highest Way we can Honor Our Father:ReplyDelete
if you want the most effective positive military and RM where no one will compromise the goals or freak out, why isn't it mandatory that they all have their implants, etc removed?ReplyDelete
I say bring on the Event! There are demonstrations going on all over the world, some peaceful, some not so much. Then there are secretive plots, plans and executions (of all sorts), people dying everyday from drugs, disease, accidents, hunger, wars, fighting and environmental catastrophes (man made or not)...etc, etc.ReplyDelete
My heart tells me that the Event will not happen until we (as a people and as an individual) can forgive others and ourselves. It is not just about letting go, as it is about accepting and doing it in love/out of love. This lingering is only about doubt and not so much with being prepared or the "finite" best time to have it. I say we will never be ready or prepared - but instead in anticipation for the Event. I know I am - so lets get on with it!
Do it now ! For Mercy's Sake!!!ReplyDelete
SOURCE Word says
" How can we sing THE LORD'S songs in a strange land???"
There is never going to be a perfect time. we have suffered for millenia, what is a little more suffering in order to start the Event now, waiting for fear to disappear and everyone to be ready will not happen before the Event, only afterwards!ReplyDelete

Fad or Fiction? Don't Fall for Junk (Food) Science
How do you know if a product is safe and healthy — and if it works?
You may have seen claims for products and diets can help you lose weight and get healthier. Friends and family may have amazing weight‐loss or health stories about something new they've tried. How do you know if a product is safe and healthy — and if it works? Here are a few tips:
- One pill does it all: Very few products can treat multiple conditions at once. Be wary of ones that promise they can.
- Proof in numbers: Scientific research is based on controlled studies with large numbers of people, not one individual's experience.
- Quick fixes: Be skeptical of anything that promises immediate results. Terms like "in days" may actually mean any length of time.
- Be "naturally" cynical: While "natural" may suggest "safe," remember that some plants can kill when ingested. Any product — synthetic or natural — strong enough to help is strong enough to hurt.
- The secret's not out: If a product were a cure for a condition, that information would be widely reported in the media, and the product would be regularly prescribed by health professionals.
- "Satisfaction guaranteed": This phrase is meant to instill confidence, right? However, manufacturers of fraudulent products rarely stay in business long, so they can afford to be generous with their promises.
When in doubt, ask yourself, "Does it sound too good to be true?" If it does, it probably isn't true. If you're still not sure, talk to a doctor or health care professional. You can also check with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Better Business Bureau, or local attorney general's office for complaints.

Our search for rootedness has brought us back to the Philippines, back to communities in the south where Robin spent a year over three decades ago.
We spend time with the family of a rice farmer, Delia, on the southern Philippine island of Mindanao. Delia, her husband Romulo, two daughters, one son, and three grandchildren live in a simple but roomy house on the edge of their rice field. Behind the house is a tilapia-filled fish pond with papaya trees growing on one side. A few pigs are housed by the fish pond, and fifteen chickens have free range of the property. Vitamin-rich greens grow at the far edge of the pond, and two towering jackfruit trees provide shade as well as ingredients for delicious meals. Theirs is an example of what we call a "rooted" life; among other things, they eat mainly what they grow and raise.
So, too, is much of their other consumption locally-based—including our bedding. After dinner on the first night of our visit, surrounded by village kids, we walk five minutes up the road to the house of neighbor Ging-Ging. She is just finishing weaving two rattan mats for us on a wooden loom in her back yard. We chat as she weaves, and she explains the economics of her inputs and her time, convincing us that she still makes money on the one dollar that we pay for each.Our host Delia is very active in the community, serving on several local committees, and—this is why we are here—is an enthusiastic backer of organic farming. After attending a workshop by a local non-governmental organization a couple of years back, Delia switched one of their three hectares from so-called "high-yielding" seeds dependent on chemical fertilizers and pesticides to organic rice. She was an instant convert: "It is safer and the profit is bigger as expenses fell. With our two 'chemical hectares,' the rice traders who give us the loans are getting rich."
Rice is central to Philippine culture, politics, the economy, and to most rural communities. It is also the biggest employer in the Philippines; over a third of the population still works in agriculture, and rice is still the largest crop. And, as we discover in several rice communities like Delia's across the country, there are exciting shifts in the orthodoxy over what rice is planted and how it is grown.
After sleeping well on our new mats, we rise early with Delia's family. It is the 15th of the month, which means that each family in the community must send one member to help cut weeds along the irrigation canal; those who fail to show are fined two dollars. This is one of several community tasks where all families here participate for the greater good, in this case keeping the canals free of weeds that would slow the water flow. The farmers move quickly, offering us their bolo knives so that we can join in.
At the edge of the irrigation canal, Delia proudly shows us her hectare of "zero-chem" rice and we discuss the traditional seeds she has planted. Part of the high expenses of chemical agriculture is that farmers must buy new hybrid seeds each planting season, a costly proposition. The traditional seeds that Delia and other organic farmers here are using are saved from the previous harvest or "in-bred" locally to work best in this particular area. Delia complains that the government's agricultural extension agents sometimes give out free hybrid seeds, and that they mainly give seminars on chemical agriculture rather than providing support for "zero-chem" farming.
Delia and other organic farmers we meet are aware of the larger argument against traditional and inbred seeds and against organic agriculture overall: that it is "backward," unscientific and can never compete with the high yielding seeds of chemical agriculture. Thus, it is often argued by proponents of chemical agriculture, it cannot feed the world. Africa is starving, the supporters of chemical farming say, and China is buying up farm land in other countries to feed its own people. Hence, higher yields are essential to feed a hungry world—or so goes the argument.
The older farmers we meet say that yes, when the new rice varieties were first introduced in the 1960s and 1970s "green revolution," the expensive seeds and chemical fertilizers and pesticides often produced increases in yields. But they also tell us of falling productivity over the years as soils became compacted and depleted of the nutrients that get replenished with organic farming. And, farmers were often forced to take on more debts to pay for the inputs or else, though economic desperation, to cut back on the pesticides and fertilizers, cutting yields further. Some even had to sell their cherished land.
As we see for ourselves, Delia and her zero-chem neighbors are anything but backward; they are impressive scientists in their own right, constantly experimenting with different seeds and different amounts of water. Instead of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, they cook their own non-chemical "concoctions" to handle everything from rats to stem-boring insects to plant viruses (more on this in a later blog).
After using the zero-chem techniques for a couple of seasons, several tell us their yields are just below what they were with chemical farming. Others say their yields have stayed the same or actually gone up.
The successful initiatives of farmers like Delia to take back control of their lives and gain food security are significant for this community and for the Philippines. But they are more than that. What we find here—people rejecting a half-century of conventional "wisdom" in favor of more rooted alternatives—is happening in many parts of the United States and other countries as well.

We've all seen our share of food porn. But what can we do with food when it's off the plate? That's the space of food art. And for this week's Shooting Challenge, your task is to elevate food beyond smut.
The Challenge
Photograph food pretty much anywhere but on a plate or in a mouth. Build it as part of a portrait or a scene. Think about food, not as food, but as art.
The Technique
A good place to start is to look for inspiration. Check out the covers of Gastronomica to see what I'm looking for. Don't be afraid to pull out those $20 lightboxes to feature food as a sculpture, or to meld some element of food with the human figure or natural environment.
The secret is to think, not like a hungry Instagram user, but an artist who only has fruits and veggies to paint with. Make sense?
The Example
Our lead shot is from flickr's AForestFrolic. It's simple but evocative. And it highlights everything great about food—color, texture and a sort of synesthetic flavor from that.
The Rules
0. No watermarks. They're so ugly.
1. Submissions need to be your own.
2. Photos must be taken since this contest was announced.
3. Explain, briefly, the equipment, settings, technique and story behind shot.
4. Email submissions to email@example.com, not me.
5. Include 970px wide image (200KB or less) AND a native resolution sized shot in email.
6. One submission per person.
7. Use the proper SUBJECT line in your email (more info on that below)
8. You agree to the Standard Contest Rules - though we DO accept non-US resident submissions.
9. If the image contains any material or elements that are not owned by you and/or which are subject to the rights of third parties, and/or if any persons appear in the image, you are responsible for obtaining, prior to submission of the photograph, any and all releases and consents necessary to permit the exhibition and use of the image in the manner set forth in these rules without additional compensation. If any person appearing in any image is under the age of majority in their state/province/territory of residence the signature of a parent or legal guardian is required on each release.
Send your best photo by Monday, February 18th at 10AM Eastern to email@example.com with "Food" in the subject line. Save your files as JPGs, and use a FirstnameLastnameFood.jpg (970px wide) and FirstnameLastnameFoodWallpaper.jpg (2560px wide) naming conventions. Include your shooting summary (camera, lens, ISO, etc) in the body of the email along with a story of the shot in a few sentences. And don't skip this story part because it's often the most enjoyable part for us all beyond the shot itself!

Great thanks , just what we wanted and fast shipping my daughter loved it
Came just in time for our big event" it was a hit thanks to you guys"
Great Product we will be shopping again. No Doubt
This is exactly what we wanted, cool design and we are happy with the final product. thumbs up
Happy Customer Joe
Thanks Mike and Nikes for all the cool gear that you got to us in time
In 1984, after winning a national title at the University of North Carolina and a Gold Medal at the Olympic games in Los Angeles, Michael Jordan was selected 3rd overall by the Chicago Bulls in the NBA Draft. That year Nike also signed Michael to a five-year endorsement contract worth a reported $2.5 million (plus royalties). There was initially some skepticism over the hefty contract being given to an unproven marketing commodity, but MJ was quick to prove the critics wrong.
In 1985, Nike gave Jordan and his signature line of sneakers and apparel a unique logo - clearly, this line was created to be very different from Nike's previous basketball efforts.
Designer Peter Moore was given the task of coming up with the first Air Jordan shoe. The Air Jordan 1 featured the Nike Swoosh on the mid panel and a newly designed wings logo on the upper ankle. The first Air Jordan was similar in design to other popular Nike models released in the 1980s such as the Air Force 1, Terminator and Dunk. The Air Jordan I featured a Nike Air unit for heel cushioning, padded foam ankle collars for additional protection and a toe overlay for added lockdown.
Although the AJ 1 lacked technology, the colors and cultural significance set the sneaker industry on its ear. The Air Jordan 1 paved the way for colorful basketball sneakers. It transformed the way people looked at athletic shoes. During the 1985 NBA season, Michael wore the Air Jordan 1, which retailed for $65 - at the time, the most expensive basketball shoe on the market. The AJ I Black/Red colorway was banned by the NBA because of rules regarding shoe colors; Jordan was fined $5,000 for every game he wore them (Nike gladly footed the bill, as the fines created even more buzz around the Air Jordan 1). MJ's rookie campaign resulted in an All-Star appearance, Rookie of the Year honors and leading the Bulls to the playoffs after a four-year absence. Michael wore the Air Jordan I Red/White/Black as he scored 63 points against the Boston Celtics in the 1986 playoffs. Although the Bulls ended up losing to the Larry Bird-led Celtics, Michael showed that he was one of the bright young stars in the NBA.

Mel Kenyon - Kenyon's Last Ride
Open Wheel Legend Retires From Driving Duties
Related Video
The legendary Open Wheel racer known as "Mr. Midget" has decided to retire, bringing an end to a much-storied racing career that spanned six decades of Open Wheel competition. The iconic Midget racer Mel Kenyon hung up the helmet after the Ft. Wayne Rumble races held at the Ft. Wayne (IN) Coliseum in December 2009. The 76-year-old Kenyon has made more history than many drivers could ever even dream of. Kenyon has set a bar that will most likely stand forever in the Midget racing world, or at least a very long time.
"Actually, just getting out of bed is the first thing and most important thing," quipped Kenyon, while prepping for his final run at Ft. Wayne. "The highlight of course is every time you win a race. It is always a challenge to do that and a wonder that you did do that. It's always been fun winning races and when you run as many as 90 times a year that's also great too. It is fun to get dressed up and get back in the car again for this weekend."
Unfortunately for Kenyon, a lack of support weighed into his decision. "Between my brother and my wife, they kind of talked me into doing this (retiring) because I don't have the money to run steady and I haven't had a sponsor for the past nine years. Sure, we can make money taking care of cars and teaching young drivers, which I have also been doing for the last few years."
Kenyon's career has had its hard knocks through the years. At Langhorne, Pennsylvania, in 1965 Kenyon was caught up in a scary crash when his car spun and was hit by two fellow competitors fracturing the fuel tank which erupted in a fireball. Racer Joe Leonard braved the flames pulling the unconscious Kenyon from his mangled racer. As a result, Kenyon suffered burns over 40 percent of his body with very severe burns to the fingers on his left hand. He was hospitalized in an Army burn unit to endure a recovery that included a tough bout with a staph infection.
Miraculously, Kenyon qualified for his first-ever Indy 500 just 11 months later. With the help of his late father and mechanic brother, Don, the trio developed a special glove for his damaged left hand. It had a sewn-in socket in the palm that fit over a specially made stud on the steering wheel. The invention allowed Kenyon the control he needed to pass his Indy rookie test.
Kenyon never grabbed an IndyCar checkered flag but in that first attempt at the 500 he sailed home Fifth, proving to the world that you can overcome adversity. In 1968 he finished Third and in both 1969 and 1973 he finished Fourth in the Indy 500. A veteran of 65 IndyCar starts his best finish came at Michigan International Speedway where he finished Second in 1972 after running out of fuel while in the lead.
"I was the first one to go to Indy with the modification for no fingers on one hand," says a smiling Kenyon. "As I took my last two phases of the driver's test, supposedly in traffic, they waved everybody off the track so that tells you how much they thought I could do it. But then we had really good finishes with the Lord's help, a Third, two Fourths, and a Fifth in eight tries so that was pretty decent. That was good money compared to the Midget racing money, but today last place at Indy pays as much as Third did back then."
Better known for his Midget ability, Kenyon has been the victor in 382 Midget races, including an amazing 111 USAC Midget checkered flags. With race wins, came race titles as well. USAC National Midget titles were captured in 1964, 1967, 1968, 1974, 1977, 1981, and 1985. Kenyon also owns three straight titles in the now-defunct NAMARS series from 1995-1997.
During those tough times in the Army burn unit, Kenyon turned his life over to the Lord, amazingly he recovered to get back to the racetrack and enjoy everyday life once again. Mel's religious roots where put to work in 1991 when his first wife was severely injured in a bicycle accident that left her comatose. The outlook was grim, but Mel refused to put her in a nursing home and cared for her needs himself until she passed away 10 years ago.
Today, the Kenyon brothers own the 3-K Racing shop in which they tutor and mentor race drivers in the Midget division. Mel is quick to note that Ryan Newman was a special protg. The brothers also worked with young teen Dillon Welch this past season. Welch captured the Kenyon Car Midget title for 2009.
"With the K cars, you can start driving when you are 11 years old and the Focus cars when you are 14 years old," notes Kenyon. "I had to be 21 years old before I could drive officially for money. Most of these kids today have been driving since they were 4 or 5 years old, so they're not beginners."
That's made on-track compeition interesting for the elder statesman. "Sometimes when I am out there, they tell me to get out of the way. It's a learning experience, I have to control my temper. At the same time you're mentoring them and you have to kind of calm them down and keep their temper under control too. But then again you have to go as fast as you can as quick as you can, so it is always interesting."
"He's been a great race car driver winning 111 USAC races," weighed in Open Wheel Champion Dave Darland. "Just to have the chance to race with him-I have been racing 28 years myself; he's been racing longer than that-it has been a pleasure, and if he feels he is ready for retirement then good for him and happy retirement. Mel brings a lot to the sport. He has been an icon to the Midget division for many years. He's a fan-friendly driver who stays and talks to all the people who want to come and say hi to him. Just to get a chance to race with him for all these years has been a great opportunity for me-a great person, and a great race car driver. He's been really good for our sport."
It would take a book to write about Mel Kenyon's accomplishments, but he does point out some of his highlights of a storied race driver career. "In 1963, the first-ever Turkey Night Grand Prix at Ascot Park and then that first USAC Championship in 1964," he notes. "The Indy 500, just to be part of that great Championship event says a lot, that probably would be the highlight. We did win 13 races at Indianapolis Raceway Park. All those races and all those Championships, it is all so very important."
Following all the races and Championship accolades are many prestigious honors. Kenyon is a member of the International Motorsports Hall of Fame in Talladega, Alabama; the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America in Novi, Michigan; and the National Midget Auto Racing Hall of Fame in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, just to name a few. A storied career and example to young racers, Kenyon will still be found in the Open Wheel pit area at various events to help nurture along the upcoming prospects of the next generation. "It doesn't really seem like I have been at this for 57 years, but I have. I am not really wanting to quit, but I guess I have to," concluded the racing legend. At the Ft. Wayne Rumble races, in December 2009, 39 Midgets showed up for the 15 feature starting spots each of two days of action. Mel Kenyon made both features finishing Sixth the first night and Ninth the next day. From there Kenyon rode into retirement as the most decorated Open Wheel Midget racer in USAC history.

Fuji Heavy Industries, the parent company of Subaru, is currently in a partnership with Toyota Motor Corporation, which owns 16.5% of FHI. The company is named after the star cluster Pleiades, which in Greek mythology is known as the Seven Sisters, and in Japanese the name is "Subaru", which roughly translated into English means, "to govern", "unite," or "gather together". The company logo is influenced by the star cluster. The large star in the logo represents Fuji Heavy Industries, and the five smaller stars represent the current five companies that are united under the FHI group.
FHI started out as The Aircraft Research Laboratory in 1917 headed by Chikuhei Nakajima. In 1932, the company was reorganized as Nakajima Aircraft Company, Ltd and soon became the primary manufacturer of aircraft for Japan during World War II. At the end of the Second World War Nakajima Aircraft was again reorganized, this time as Fuji Sangyo Co, Ltd. In 1946, the company created the Fuji Rabbit motor scooter with spare aircraft parts from the war. In 1950, Fuji Sangyo was divided into 12 smaller corporations according to the Japanese Government's 1950 Corporate Credit Rearrangement Act, anti-zaibatsu legislation, but between 1953-1955, four of these corporations and a newly formed corporation Fuji Kogyo, a scooter manufacturer; coachbuilders Fuji Jidosha; engine manufacturers Omiya Fuji Kogyo; chassis builders Utsunomiya Sharyo and the Tokyo Fuji Dangyo trading company decided to merge together to form the Fuji Heavy Industries known today.

If its suppose to make women fertile, what happens when a man touches it? Do they grow boobs and start to have an attitude once a month? Or maybe the whole sex change thing starts to happen and their boobs get big and their thing falls off. UH.... Jorge I hate to tell you this but.... well.... I see an increase in the size of your man boobs....I hope your thing doesn't fall off.

I love your blog. I just found it because Friday mornings are my day to catch up on 'Lost'. I guess had extra time this week. This goes back sometime, but I loved the pics of Sprecher because I used to live in Milwaukee. Did I read right? You didn't sample the beer? Dang, I salivate just thinking about it! You need to go back.

It's large but proportionally not too long, kind of like Michelangelo's David. My guess is that it makes men fertile but women frustrated.

So, with all this talk lately... "we're pregnant", the stuffed ship to give to your son someday, the phallic fertility rock, it seems somebody's biological clock is ticking. The question is, yours or hers? Are you two trying for a baby? Is she already pregnant?

Reminds me of awhile ago when people where in a uproar about some cement posts in Keizer Oregon because the thought they looked like well you know. Then they where talking about adding accents to them to try and hide it like chains and what not. First thing that came to my mind is haha oh adding piercings and a lil bondage to them that will make them look so diff. I was amused and was tempted to take a drive and sit on one for a photo but never did.

(This seems as good a time as any to remind everyone how I said on October 12 the Giants would win the World Series. WHERE'S MY CHECK, ESPN?)
OK. On to the game:
* It's funny or something that the worst starter for the Giants in the Series was Matt Cain. He didn't suck or anything, but in this Series, if you didn't pitch a shutout, you weren't very good. Cain gave up, what, 2 home runs last night? ANYWAY, he was fine. YOU'RE FINE MATT CAIN. I'm not trying to bitch or anything. It's just that.....
* BARRY MOTHERFUCKING ZITO. And then TIM LINCECUM. And then JEREMY AFFELDT. Here's how this shit went down. Before the season started, they got together and said "Let's lie low this season and make everyone think we suck and then teams will get lulled into a false sense of security and then BLAMMO in the playoffs we will rock and shock America! HAHAHAHAH LET'S DO IT."
* Tim Lincecum. I mean, come the fuck on. The plan next year should be to start Mota or Lopez or someone, let him pitch about 2 innings, and then bring Tim in for the rest of the game because he is LETHAL as a reliever. He just can't start! We figured it out!
|TA-DAAAAAAAAA!!!! Thanks, everyone!
* Wow, Phil Coke struck out the first 7 Giants he faced in the World Series? WOW. Really? Also, doesn't he seem a little drunk in this video? I guess he coulda hit the bottle between losing the game and being interviewed, but whoa, that was fast!
* Also, we need to briefly talk about Fox. Fox is the Worst Thing That's Ever Happened in History. On the field, there is an exciting Game 4 of the World Series. Fox paid a large sum of money to broadcast this game. So Fox spends an entire inning in an EXTREME CLOSEUP of Justin Verlander's face. They are interviewing him at length WHILE THE GAME IS GOING ON. Now, Justin Verlander at least plays baseball for one of the teams involved. Another lengthy in-game interview was with the winner of some contest. Fox should no longer be allowed to televise sporting events. If Fox was televising the moon landing, they would have a lengthy interview with some dork pushing buttons at Mission Control while Neil Armstrong trots around the lunar surface.
So that's it. Second World Series win in 3 years. Everybody surprised. Hell, I"M surprised. Let's do it again next year.

Fast Burn Keto
Fast Burn Keto contains Beta-hydroxybutyrate. BHB is the first substrate that kicks the metabolic state of ketosis into action. Revisiting the scenario from before, if you either take supplemental forms or if your body is making beta-hydroxybutyrate, it is able to start processing in your body resulting in energy.
Beta-hydroxybutyrate floats around in your blood, and importantly, can cross different important barriers to be able to be turned into energy at all times. One of the most important areas where this happens is in the brain. The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is usually a very tightly regulated interface, but since BHB is such a rock star and so hydrophilic, your brain knows to let it in so it can bring energy to the party at any time. This is one of the main reasons why increased BHB levels lead to heightened mental acuity.*
Get slim, healthy, and confident again with our unique Fast Burn Keto Ingredients. Ideal for both men and women, Fast Burn Keto is a dynamic and powerful ketosis dietary supplement that will assist weight loss, promote abdominal fat burn, and support better digestion and sleep.*

Letter from the Editor
Psychology is among the most fundamental, wide ranging, and actively developing disciplines of our time. It sits at the crossroads of the biomedical, social, human, and cognitive sciences. Its goal is a scientific account of how human beings work, rooted in their biology, reflecting their social context, alert to human diversity, and analyzing the structures of human thought, emotion, behavioral abilities, and personhood. The links to astonishingly rapid developments in neuroscience have energized new and old lines of psychological enquiry. Psychologists apply their findings, and theories to problems in every area of human activity, from the behavior that makes us healthy or sick, the strengths and problems that come from our propensity to affiliate with groups and reject those from "out-groups," to the design of information systems and teaching methods that allow human abilities to adapt most effectively to a complex and fast-moving world.
The Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Psychology (ORE) is a unique resource for those who need to navigate this daunting network of ideas, findings, and practice. Psychology is one of the most popular university subjects, and the ORE enables students at all levels to access authoritative and up-to-date articles that take them beyond textbook treatments while providing more synthesis than the primary research literature. For Researchers, the ORE provides routes into areas that may not be their primary focus but provide essential context, new methods, and thought-provoking analogies for their work. Scholars in adjacent disciplines – philosophy, medicine, linguistics, anthropology, law and many others – can discover how modern psychology tackles questions at the interface with their subjects. Professionals in education, management, law, social work among other areas can find the resources which psychology offers to them and improve understanding in their dialogues with psychologist colleagues. The ORE of Psychology demonstrates how much psychology gains from its rich links to these connected disciplines and professions.
The ORE of Psychology will exploit to the full the opportunities provided by its digital format. Up-to-dateness is ensured by publishing articles on a rolling basis. High-quality illustrations, video, and audio add to the depth of insight in areas as diverse as brain structure, crowd behavior, music perception, and the control of action. Rich and immediately available cross-links, within the ORE to other Oxford University Press scholarly resources, and to the wider literature, also provide key features to enhance its usability.
Most important, the ORE harnesses the advances of digital technology to the highest standards of scientific and scholarly authority. All contributions are peer-reviewed. Underpinned by the resources and values of the world's most respected academic publisher, this enterprise is guided by an international Editorial Board whose members are active researchers at the highest level, spanning the diverse areas of psychology with exceptional experience and authority. They have been invited for the breadth of their vision as well as the depth of their scholarship.
Students, researchers, teachers, professionals, from whatever area, who need insights into the rich diversity of 21st century psychology – we invite you to join our editors and authors in exploring the unique resources of the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Psychology.

"I have come that they may have life, and have it more abundantly…Mercy, peace and love be yours in abundance." John 10:10; Jude 2
"These are my wishes for you."
May you find serenity and tranquility in a world you may not understand.
May the pain you have known and the conflict you have experienced give you the strength to walk through life facing each new situation with courage and optimism. Always know that there are those whose love and understanding will always be there, even when your feel most alone.
May a kind word, a reassuring touch, and a warm smile be yours every day of your life, and may you give these gifts as well as receive them.
May the teachings of those you admire become part of you, so that you may call upon them.
Remember, those whose lives you have touched and who have touched yours are always a part of you, even if the encounters were less than you would have wished. It is the content of the encounter that is more important than its form.
May you not become too concerned with material matters, but instead place immeasurable value on the goodness in your heart.
Find time in each day to see beauty and love in the world around you. Realize that what you feel you lack in one regard may be more than compensated for in another. What you feel you lack in the present may become one of your strengths in the future.
May you see your future as one filled with promise and possibility. Learn to view everything as a worthwhile experience.
May you find enough inner strength to determine your own worth by yourself, and not be dependent on another's judgment of your accomplishments.
May you always feel loved.
-Sandra Sturtz Hauss
