This article, and its accompanying radio show, is without exception the most important one, to date, that I have ever written.
After reading this article, I am appealing to you to PASS IT ON, and share as widely as you can.
This article is a two part series which is a passionate project that I believe is so necessary to break the cycles of abused and abuse.
It is to do with our children, and how we can help them not live the lives of suffering, abuse and unconsciousness that we have, and how we can stop these cycles being passed on from generation to generation.
This article is vital for you if you are a parent. The information in this article is essential for every parent, especially those who have been involved in abuse.
Most of us did not come from conscious parenting. Our own parents did not come from conscious parenting, or their parents before them.
The truth is most of humankind has been unconscious. Meaning not being authentically happy and whole, or at peace emotionally. Peace has been conditional – dependent upon outside conditions rather than being an authentic established inner state.
Families have been modelled around achievement, survival and often appearances – making sure the family presented the right 'image' as much as possible to the outside world, and consequently very little time or energy was devoted to inner emotional development.
My father has an expression '"We weren't brought up; we were kicked and made get up."
I totally agree, and it is plain to see the often horrific effects of unconscious adults who don't have a healthy relationship with their own Inner Self, being granted the stewardship to develop a child's delicate Inner Self.
No longer can any of us ignore the damage this has caused, and still causes, and sweep it under the carpet.
Escalating Unconscious and Abuse
We are all living in a time where abusers and victims are escalating. I was talking, a couple of evenings ago, to my good friend Fiona who works as a major coordinator in Domestics Violence services in Australia. She stated how the number of cases is growing steadily at alarming rates.
We are all a part of this cycle.
We all need to deeply understand that adults carrying still existing childhood wounds are only ever going to perpetuate these wounds on to their children. This tragically ensures that the cycle of abuser or abused will continue.
Unless we can show up for our children with healed mature emotional centres, we will by deficient examples inflict upon them the legacy of becoming either a narcissist or a co-dependent victim, and the cycle continues.
Encouraged Victimisation
I read a post the other morning on my Facebook Newsfeed.
It was in a well know narcissistic abuse recovery group, about a woman stating how devastated she was by her ex narcissist's behaviour.
The replies were how she could never stop his behaviour, and how her only relief will be when he meets someone else, and only then his tormenting behaviour towards her would stop.
What shocked me the most was the creator of this Group, which has thousands of members, totally agreed with these answers and confirmed them for this poor woman.
I was mortified, incensed and sickened, that this woman was left with this, 'Yep, you have no hope to have any relief or peace in your life until HE does something different in his life'.
Now I want to start with my disclaimer, before I REALLY get down to it.
Yes I understand how devastating it is to be narcissistically abused. I was one of these people who nearly died because of the abuse. I know it's terrible, especially when our children are involved. I also understand how we can be so stuck in the model of victimisation, and the belief that the narcissist has all the power, and that there is no hope.
I am not discounting any of this. I know how traumatising it is, and how damaged we are as a result of it.
But this I do know – that victimised 'no hope' model is NOT the truth. It is not the way to heal, and it doesn't help us, or our children, or their children, or our world in any shape of form.
The most sickening thought for me when I read this blog post was: How on earth is our world going to get well when NOT only are narcissists unconscious, but those apparently HELPING the victims, are so stuck in powerlessness and unconsciousness as well?
The truth is, the virus of unconsciousness (refusing to take responsibility for creating one's own life from the inside out) that manifests as narcissism – is so potent it infects others into believing that not only are they powerless, but the world operates 'from the outside in'. This ensures there is no responsibility taken for one's own development, and no connection possible to create and generate one's own life.
Truly victims are just as damaged by this 'hopeless, powerless' model, as they are by narcissists, and I am dismayed how individuals, who are not healed and whole themselves (if they were they would NOT be espousing 'you are powerless') are simply keeping others stuck in victimisation believing it is 'recovery'.
I was so motivated by the insanity and absolute false premise of this post thread (and please know once upon a time I would have agreed with it – when I was still deeply unconscious) that I took a stand and passionately put a post on my own public Facebook page about it.
I finished with, "It will be a wonderful day when finally people 'helping' those recover seek true empowering consciousness alliances, wake up from the powerless trance and truly help themselves first, and then their people find their true consciousness and power. That is the only way narcissistic abuse can no longer exist, personally, and eventually collectively."
The responses started to come in. Most of them were people in my community doing the inner work on themselves, who reported total agreement with how their life had transformed by dropping the victimisation model, and how they had experienced that the narc abuse stopped and how their real life finally began – for them and their children.
These people's posts were like day and night compared to the posts of the people exclaiming their pain, victimisation and how they had no hope in their situations, and how co-parenting with narcissists would make them lifetime victims due to the ongoing connection. Some of these people, as they always do, fought for these limitations by declaring the justifications for their victimhood.
I asserted in my replies how working on taking responsibility for our own unhealed wounds and up-levelling our own consciousness not only empowers us, but also our children, and how it ends the cycles of narcissistic abuse even when co-parenting.
One lady wrote back to me stating, "Melanie I don't see how you can state that 'abuse will no longer exist' by transforming ourselves when children are involved? This is a dangerous proposition to make as it could stop parents from safeguarding their children. How can you stop an N abusing their children by healing yourself?"
Waking Up and Relinquishing Powerlessness
Truly this was enough to get me really going. PLEASE know I want to strongly and passionately wake you up too – if you are thinking in the same powerless way.
This was my response:
"It is always a dangerous proposition for our children when we are traumatized, victimized and being sucked emotionally dry, and are not working on ourselves to be empowered. I have facilitated countless cases of parents with children, who protect their children and themselves superbly once they do the necessary work on themselves and are out of fear and pain, and are solid enough to get real results against the narcissist.
The results come from the inside out – not whilst being emotionally powerless. Remaining with focus outwards in victimization never helps children, and only fuels the narcissist to act out and only attracts and generates more victimization – not things, authorities, evidence and results falling into place.
Think of this in VERY simple terms – what has ever gone right in your life when you are disheveled, out of sorts or even just in a bad mood? Nothing from an 'off' emotional stance ever works out! Why would something this big – pitting yourself against a narcissist work when not emotionally solid?
I am incredibly passionate about parents up-levelling for their children's sake, and this was the only way I saved my own son from where he had ended up after my narc relationship.
This is the entire point you are missing, many of you in the victim model – is that you have NO effectiveness against narcs, or the rebuilding of your life for yourself or your children when you are not healing yourselves, hence why the battering and punishment and pain of what the narcissist is doing to you, and your victimization stance of 'no hope' continues. The narc is fuelled by your own pain and victimization – period.
YES it does stop when you heal you – you haven't realized emotional realities, and YES when you deeply emotionally change it stops, all of it, and the inside out model is the only way it does. And YES I have seen it happen, more times than I could count – I receive emails and reports every day.
Do you think it is any coincidence that people are posting on this thread how much different their experience is, and why do you think that is consistently so? Why do you think these conversations bear no resemblance to the usual narc abuse conversations?"
Yep, I have to admit I was worked up. And the reason I was so worked up is because this project regarding parents empowering themselves for their children's sake was a project I already had underway – because I am so literally devastated and frustrated when I see post after post after post from parents who are being victims, not taking responsibility to empower and heal themselves (when it IS totally possible) and NOT helping their children.
As a parent who nearly lost my own son in his severe depression and addictions in the midst of my own mind-bending victimisation – it breaks my heart.
I know how tragically things could have been for myself and my son, if I didn't drop victimization and didn't take responsibility to heal myself. And I know how things turned around so quickly in my son's and my own life when I did.
I am not playing righteousness here; I am SIMPLY deeply passionate about standing up and doing something about this epidemic of powerless victimization that is ripping abuse victims and their children apart.
You see, I know children need guidance, and I constantly see adults NOT doing what is necessary to provide it. And I see abuse communities cementing these parents over and over in hopeless victimhood.
I also see parents, being granted solutions and the means to heal powerfully from the inside out, fight to hang on to, and LITERALLY demand their hopeless victimhood, and I see the damage this does to children horrifically.
The Victim Parent is Just as Toxic
I have done countless amounts of work with adults whose emotional scars and agonies, and their own adult abuse patterns were not just caused by the narcissistic parent, but ALSO deeply inflicted by the parent who refused to give up their powerless victimization, and who never became a healthy, whole source to themselves and an effective role-model.
In fact, in many cases this is the parent that they have the deepest of all wounds with.
I promise you this is true.
This parent was so toxic, and so self-absorbed with their own victimhood and powerlessness that they were emotionally unavailable and unhealthy, and only engendered more abuse towards their children as a result of feeding the narcissist their fear, pain and powerlessness.
Because of their intense focus, reactions and pain towards the narcissist, and constantly declaring their own victimization – without taking back their power – many children went into the arms of the narcissist, because truly it was more comfortable for them to so do.
They also could not seek a safe haven from the narcissist with the non-narcissistic parent, because this parent was stuck in their own activated inner child wounding (that the narcissist was using for reactions), and NOT healing it, in order to show up as a healthy, mature, solid, safe parent.
This created the children as the precarious target for the narcissist to extract even more narcissistic supply from the non-narcissistic parent by using the children as pawns.
The truth is: all of this can be avoided, and ALWAYS is avoided when the non-narcissistic parent does the inner work on themselves and is no longer susceptible to being hooked in or emotionally triggered and victimized by the narcissist.
Because then he or she starts showing up as a healthy adult for their children.
I am NOT saying any of this to shame or blame you – I am saying this to wake you up for your own and you children's' sakes.
If you want to FIGHT to hang on to your victimization, you WILL continue to be victimized, as will your children and their relationship with you.
Loading the Gun For The Narcissist
Understand this please – point blank. When a parent is empowered and unaffected narcissists give up – there is no energy or reaction (narcissistic supply) to gain.
And in NO shape or form does this mean you don't protect your children. It means you empower yourself and your children, you have solid boundaries without fear, and you walk a straight line towards generating a healthy, safe life with integrity without being emotionally derailed.
One of the replies a lady wrote on my Facebook post was, "I agree that healing my childhood wounds will help but I can't stop the stress he induces from the lies, manipulation and fears I have of what he'll put the children through. How can you heal when they can use your children and the legal system to torment you?"
I want you to understand this: your healing is ONLY possible when you address your own emotional wounding that allowed you to be captured, hooked into and emotionally derailed by a narcissist in the first place.
The narcissist is ONLY EVER using your inner wounds against you – that is exactly what the DEFINITION of narcissistic abuse is.
I need to repeat this again – so that you can understand THE TRUTH…
Narcissistic abuse is always the narcissist using your own unconscious wounds against you.
And the narcissist will continue to do it relentlessly until you heal these wounds. This is how the narcissist affects you and then FEEDS off you.
When you heal your wounds – you just DON'T fear the narcissist anymore. He or she has no emotional power over you, and you no longer FEED the narcissist.
In fact, you will see the tactics and behavior for the flimsy childish bullish rubbish that it REALLY is, because you will no longer be emotionally triggered into helpless victimization because of your corresponding inner unhealed childhood wounds. In stark contrast, you will stand TALL in your mature, adult emotional wholeness that you have up-levelled yourself into.
That's when it all falls over for the narcissist.
Another lady wrote on my Facebook post, "I believe that those other folk will find a true path back to Source when they get sick and tired of being sick and tired of being a professional Victim. I am so thankful for MTE and all of you here. Let's send our best thoughts to those people who are wasting time re-loading the metaphorical gun and handing it back so the narc can shoot them again."
Truly I don't think anyone has ever expressed this in a better way – because this is exactly what is taking place.
This is SO Important to understand, narcissists are empty voids they have no true power and no real Life-force of their own. Narcissists simply feed off your pain and fear to be ABLE to do what they do, and of course they use children to get to you – if you don't work on your own inner solidness and empowerment – which means healing your own inner generational wounds that caused you to be affected and powerless.
And even if the narcissist was to let go – your victimization and powerlessness would continue (and does continue) long after the narcissistic goes, and will continue to be inflicted on your children until you heal your own inner wounds.
Why do things turn around in abuse situations SO powerfully when people work on up-levelling themselves from the inside out? Why does the narcissist STOP abusing?
Because, there is no energy being fed to the narcissist anymore, and the narcissist has to find another source to play it out with.
Why does the narcissist lay off your children, and even in many cases lose interest in wanting to be involved with your children when you up-level yourself? Why do your children naturally turn away from the narcissist and come to you after you up-level yourself?
I have seen this happen in so many instants. The most dramatic case was one of my oldest NARPers Dot, I talk about Dot in my Webinar series The 3 Keys To Thriving After Narcissistic Abuse, a lady who in her 70's had her son and his offspring contact and re-unite with her after over 30 years of silence, as a result of her healing her inner wounds.
I have seen time and time again the beautiful evidence of alienated children reconnect out of the blue when the non-narcissistic parent heals their own wounds, up-levels and detoxifies themselves from the inside out from abuse.
What is Your True Power in This Situation?
People may think this is a miracle.
I simply know it as the Energetic Law of 'so within, so without'.
Which means: whatever is going on in your inner world is re-produced in your outer world.
When you are no longer a victim, Life no longer delivers more punishment that victimizes you.
In fact, by stark contrast, the space opens for the natural organic miracles of yourself being supplied with abundant unconditional love – being loved by those who love you purely for yourself – including your children.
Why? Because you worked on releasing your inner wounds in order to uncover your True Self and its connection to Source, which is I unconditionally love and approve of myself, and 'I am love', regardless of my outer conditions, what I have lost, what happened to me, and how my life turned out.
In fact unconditional love and acceptance of self is ONLY possible is you have released all of the wounds blocking you from deeply knowing – All of this happened for a reason, the perfect reason of delivering me back inside myself to do the work, so that I could know my True Self.
And…No-one modelled this for me, I had to find it myself by living the extremes of unconsciousness and all of its pain, in order to finally wake up and become conscious.
If you don't believe this is possible after being narcissistically abuse – PLEASE open your eyes, because the evidence in this community that it is – is everywhere.
Additionally, when you empower yourself, heal and detach and walk truth unaffected by ridiculous narcissistic antics, or your own previous triggered wounds or powerless despair, your children start to model what they have learnt from you by example.
They sense and gravitate towards the knowing, even from a distance, that they have a solid calm source with you – to connect to, share with, trust and grow with.
As your children connect to you, and the up-levelling you deeply take on, they embrace the most empowering message of all – which is: "What anyone else does or doesn't do has no bearing on my own relationship with myself, or my own power to generate the truth of my life."
And as they live it – so it is.
This brings them immense inner peace and solidness, because no more are they trying to seek life from the outside in. Your children start creating and generating life from a solidness that no outside approval or 'fixes' ever provide.
They inherently don't enjoy feelings of things and people that don't represent their own inner peace, yet they are in no way tortured by this. Your children become self-developed, self-generative, and don't get hooked in or derailed by other people's unconsciousness. Rather, they learn to lay boundaries and detach if 'healthy' is not forthcoming.
The other essential life message they learn, which is ALSO empowering beyond measure is: "I am not a victim who powerlessly blames and holds other people responsible for the state or lack of my own wellbeing or life".
Then, unlike what we previously did, they will not grow up rolling around in unhealthiness, point fingers, despair, try to force accountability and go back in for more abuse trying to force unhealthy people to grant them their life, or resent people who don't give them a happy life.
In stark contrast your children become conscious and can generate their own life from a self-realized Thriver Model instead of a powerless unconscious Victim Model.
They can ONLY EVER become this model when YOU effort, with everything you are and have, to BECOME this model YOURSELF.
Then, and only then, will they grow up unaffected by the narcissist's behavior and antics (and in fact will be even more capable, solid, self-loving and emotionally intelligent than they ever could have been without this self-evolution experience), and they will NOT continue and re-generate these deeply ingrained unconscious generational abuse and abused cycles.
Then, they will bring their own children up with the joy, love, emotional intelligence, healthy boundaries, self-worth and self-empowerment that will assure them and their future generations of healthy and genuine loving lives.
So are YOU going to break the cycle and create the new one?
Or will it be your children? The ones who are non-narcissists who had victimization and powerlessness modelled to them – who have become targets for MORE victimization and abuse – who FINALLY decide that they had ENOUGH powerlessness and devastation to STOP the cycles?
A non-narcissistic ADULT has to break the cycle – because he or she is the only person who CAN.
Who Should Be Held Responsible?
This is where you may get all righteous, as I used to do also, and blame.
You may say "Hang on a minute, I'm not the abuser! I've been abused! It's the abuser who is unconscious and has damaged me and the children! The abuser should be RESPONSIBLE, not me!"
I have only one thing to say to that EPIDEMIC victim blame model…
Good luck with that…
I deeply want you to understand this – your own victimisation is unconsciousness, it's powerlessness.
We are ALL responsible – HUGELY.
We are ALL playing it out until we don't.
The only true powerfulness is being responsible.
If not YOU taking responsibility, who then?
The narcissist? Not possible… They can't, they don't have the resources.
Should the unconscious parent who inflicted the narcissist with unconsciousness be held responsible? Not possible…
Well then, maybe the unconscious parent of that unconscious parent? Of course not….
Then lets' hold responsible the parent that did not grant YOU enough consciousness to not be taken in by a narcissist? Not possible either…
Okay, surely responsibility lies with a massive awareness campaign being launched into the world to stop people getting taken in by narcissists?
Nope NOT possible…
Why isn't it possible?
Purely and simply because people rationalise away all the warning signs and red flags IF their unhealed inner wounds unconsciously attract and are attracted to narcissists.
I promise you, I have the evidence of droves of people with astounding logical knowledge of every nuance of 'how to spot a narcissist' who continue getting led back to another one, because of their own unfinished child wounds which matches narcissistic abuse perfectly.
Their limited logic mind simply makes us 'stories' to match the unhealed inner wounds of still being a victim of abuse. It's the wounded subconscious that is driving them into narcissistic relationships – it has nothing to do with 'logic'.
Okay, so maybe tightening up the system that allows narcissists to get away with it is the solution…
I know you are not going to like it – NO that is not possible. In fact that solution is a total dead end.
Why? Because pushing back, judgement, intense focus on and punishment never abolished, stopped or healed anything.
Anti -movements and 'wars on (whatever)' simply DON'T work.
Please, name one that ever has…
PLEASE open your eyes and have a look at the state of the world!
The deeper Energetic Law, that is as absolute as gravity, is the real reason why anti-movements never work. This Law is: "Whatever you judge and try to change in another – rather than change yourself in regard to WHY it is in your experience – is only going to be brought into your experience in greater intensity".
Think about that deeply because it is the ABSOLUTE truth.
So, what IS possible in your life experience to change the abuse / abused dynamic.
There is only ONE answer and one answer only.
Taking full responsibility to become the change you want to see in the world – because ANYTHING and EVERYTHING else represents total and utter helplessness and powerlessness – point blank.
You can flap around in every direction looking outside of yourself to find the solution, and you will never find one, and you will never be rescued by one, because there was only ever one place it does exist.
It was inside YOU all along.
The same is true for EVERY area of your life.
That is exactly what creating consciousness – true freedom, empowerment, and generating a healthy life means without exception.
It HAS to happen from the inside out with the embracing of 100% personal responsibility to do so.
Victimisation – Food For Abusers
If we continue victimisation we simply produce food for abusers, and we line up people to continue to be buffets for abusers.
Victims take hostages and they do it by stealth – and they love generating their own victimisation by grooming other people to join in it with them.
It feels very easy to band with a victim, and believe they are helping you. Yet they are abusing you – they are setting you up for a life of victimisation and believing it is righteous to be a victim – fighting to assert why it is virtuous to blame and shame, and stay sick and disempowered, and they even attack people who discuss relinquishing being a victim.
Sickeningly, I have seen this happen in all abuse forums when real healing solutions are suggested. The best case scenario is real healing solutions are ignored, and the worst case scenario is they cause a literal riot.
I am going to say it – point blank. Victimisation is just as unconscious as narcissism.
It TRULY produces the identical result.
If we end victimisation, we end abuse, because there will be no more people attracting, generating and participating in being abused.
People who are conscious are NOT food for abusers.
A Stand For Consciousness and Our Children
Taking full responsibility to raise your own consciousness is the ONLY way you will end abuse in this world for you and your children – period.
I am asking you to stand up and wake up, and see what is really happening.
I am smacking you between the eyes because I care about this world, I care about what is happening to our children, and I deeply care about the damage of victimisation that people are suffering.
I deeply know about it because it nearly destroyed my life, and nearly destroyed my son.
I care, because I know the carnage it creates to everyone we care about , and I know it ALLOWS narcissists to prosper, because it is their VERY lifeblood.
We have to stop feeding narcissists our victimisation!
Now it is TIME to take a stand and put an END to this powerless madness…
Pass this message on far and wide, and absolutely post it in abuse forums, who are determined to model, promote and hold people in the powerless, victim model.
I am passionately ready to take a public stand to help people free themselves and their children from the cycles of pain and the unconscious madness our world has been modelled on.
Are you also ready to start with yourself DETERMINEDLY to help our children, our future generations and our world?
I hope so…
I am sharing interviews with parents and children of narcissists for Part Two next week..
STAND with me, and let's work together, as a united front by sharing this article and / or accompanying radio show widely and let's wake this world up.
Let's do all we can to put an end to abuse cycles, by being the CHANGE we need to be to end it – and inspiring others to do the same.
I look forward to replying to your comments and questions.

Small changes on farmlands could help reverse the steep decline of a grassland species whose joyous chorus once filled the air.
By Cecily Ross
Every spring, the hayfields on our farm come alive when the bobolinks return. The spectacle begins in mid-May as the males gather in great swirling clouds, alighting on the telephone wires and the barely budding trees. A few days later, the females join them and a raucous, exuberant courtship ensues as the males, decked out in their backwards tuxedos, woo the females with the enthusiasm and showmanship of so many feathered rock stars.
For me, the bobolink's joyous song – a bubbling cacophony of melody floating over breezy meadows (listen to it at http://wildspace.ec.gc.ca/media/sounds/bobo.wav) – is nature's most eloquent harbinger of summer, evoking in a few bars of musical virtuosity the sweet, idle and seemingly endless landscape of my childhood. Those days are gone, of course, but not the bobolinks.
At least not yet.
One day last spring, I walked across the fields of our 36-hectare farm in Dufferin County with my birding friend Barb, through the thickening crop of timothy studded with buttercups and viper's bugloss. She marvelled at the dozens of bobolinks putting on their noisy annual show, clinging to weed stalks and wire fences, puffing their neck feathers and spreading their wings, and then careening like low-flying planes over the waving grasses.
"Too bad they're in such trouble," she said.
"Trouble?" I replied, puzzled. As we stood there watching them, my bobolinks seemed undisputed masters of their domain.
"Bobolinks nest in the long grass," said Barb. "In a few weeks, the farmer who leases your land will harvest this hayfield. And when he does, all the baby birds?" – she frowned and shook her head – "bobolink sushi."
Thus began my personal campaign to save the bobolinks, if only the few that return each year to nest on our fields. The solution seemed simple: ask the farmer, my neighbour David Jones, to delay cutting the hay until the second week in July, by which time the baby bobolinks would be fledged and ready to fly. Not a farmer myself, I had no idea what impact this would have on Dave's beef cattle operation. And because I anticipated that he would treat my request with the bemused resignation that he reserves for "crazy city folks" like ourselves, who have strange notions of country living, it took me more than a week to get up the nerve to make the call.
In the meantime, I learned a lot about bobolinks. First, I found out that the birds are in danger of disappearing altogether in a few decades if something is not done to protect their nesting grounds.
Bobolinks are grassland birds, which means that in Ontario they nest in hayfields and lightly grazed pastures. Originally denizens of the native grasslands of western Canada, the species moved eastward in the last century as their home habitat declined and the eastern forests were cleared for agriculture. Until the mid-1980s, bobolinks adapted well to the meadows and open fields of south and central Ontario. Today, the province supports about one-fifth of the world's population of bobolinks, whose breeding range extends from central British Columbia to the Maritimes and in the United States from southern Oregon to western North Carolina. In fact, a map based on Breeding Bird Survey data shows the highest concentrations of bobolinks right in my own backyard: the farmlands of Bruce, Grey and Dufferin counties.
Things were going beautifully for the bobolinks until, in the latter part of the 20th century, agricultural practices changed. In particular, farmers began harvesting their hay more frequently and earlier. Today, cutting dates occur two to three weeks sooner than they did 50 years ago – in mid- to late June, right around the time that the bobolinks' three to seven mottled, greyish eggs hatch and the tiny newborns are at their most vulnerable. According to the Quebec-based Migration Research Foundation, 96 percent of eggs and nestlings are now destroyed during early hay cropping, either killed by mower blades or scooped up by gulls and other predators when the protective grasses are cut.
Jon McCracken, national program director of Bird Studies Canada, confirms that bobolinks have undergone a "widespread and severe decline in past decades," and the biggest drop in the last decade is here in Ontario. In the 40-year period between 1968 and 2008, bobolink numbers declined by an average of 2.6 percent per year, an overall decrease of 65 percent. Even more alarming is that the rate of decline has increased decade by decade. In the 10 years up to 2008, bobolink populations dwindled by an average of 7.1 percent per year, resulting in a 50 percent plunge in the number of this species.
"It's a massive, massive loss in population," says McCracken, adding, "We are seeing these sorts of declines in all grassland birds in North America." The cause is the same for all the species: loss of habitat and habitat disturbance.

Central business offices require medical records for submission to private insurers to validate medical necessity on denied or appealed claims. Quality and legal departments are constantly auditing health records on short notice and rely on HIM staff to provide this information promptly.
HealthMark's Provider Portal offers a centralized solution for internal departments to request and review medical records within a virtual data vault. Clients with multiple locations can export records to a restricted repository for internal use.

Preserve the Memories with photo books!
I am writing something every day for the Yeah Write NoMo Challenge for November. http://yeahwrite.me/november-2015/
This is a fabulous idea, Cathy! How wonderful to preserve those memories. ♥ReplyDelete
Thanks, Debbie. I'm a bit of a fanatic but I truly believe in them.Delete
Love your Mom's pic! Photo books are special. Whenever the family is together we take out old photo albums and browse through them, laughing, smiling, crying! Preserving memories is so important, I agree! Hugs!ReplyDelete
Thanks, Aditi. That's great that your family shares those albums. Appreciate your kindness. Hugs to you, too.Delete
I love the idea of photo books to mark special events. How wonderful that you're doing that for your family!ReplyDelete
Thanks, Laurel. It's important to me to preserve those memories. With my mom gone now, they have become even more special.Delete
That is beautiful Cathy dear. I have so many pics- on my computer, but this is a great reminder to make them into something more, and as gifts as well. Sending you warm hugs in a time I can just imagine is hard for you sweetie:-)ReplyDelete
Thanks, Eli. It's great to do something with all these photos we take or they're lost. Thanks for the kind support. Appreciate it. Hugs to you, too.

Hersey Kisses
Pretzels (round kind)
{red & green} M&M's
Preheat your oven to 225 degrees. Spread the round pretzels on a cookie sheet so that they lie flat. Fill the center of each pretzel with a Hershey Kiss. Now, place the cookie sheet into your oven. Allow the kisses to melt. Don't leave the room. This really takes only 3 or 4 minutes. Maybe less, depending on your oven. Take them out as soon as the kisses are melted, but still hold their shape. If you leave them in too long, they will dry out and become hard. Now, press one M&M into each kiss. Push them around a little so that chocolate touches all of the edges of the pretzels. Allow the chocolate to set up and enjoy.

Hemorrhoid Home Treatment Video
Hello and greetings yet again! If this is your first visit to my blog, welcome! If you are one of my faithful fans, thanks for stopping by. I made a brief video about what to do for a hemorrhoid home treatment.
Hopefully this will come in handy for my fellow hemorrhoid-sufferers out there. If you have any questions or suggestions as to new posts, please let me know! So check out this video and best of luck with your situation.
Hemorrhoids Herbs
As many can guess from the title of our product, "Hemroid Harry's Herbal Remedy", yes, we use herbs. In fact, we are huge believers in healing naturally with herbs because it has worked for thousands upon thousands of years! And it has worked better than any other alternative for these reasons:
- Herbs do not cause long term damage
- Herbs help your entire body, not just one area
We use six specific hemorrhoids herbs in our blend that we absolutely swear by. This short video discusses them along with what they do.
Hemorrhoid Remedies
We've created a brief video that will give you some good tips for hemorrhoid remedies. Take a look, let us know what you think.
Hemorrhoids Relief
Many are in need of hemorrhoids relief. It is not the easiest thing to find, though. When it comes to the pain that accompanies the many symptoms, you will not want to waste any time finding the best remedy to provide hemorrhoids relief for you. One way to help you with your search is to find out about some of the recommended ingredients that have worked for others just like you.
Some of those recommended, all natural ingredients would include herbs such as cayenne, ginger, stone root, white oak bark, witch hazel, and butchers broom. With herbs like these, even if you are experiencing these problems along with pregnancy, you should still be able to find a natural cure that works well for you. There are many treatments that deal with these problems while pregnant. Pregnancy does not mean that they cannot find hemorrhoids relief, though.
A treatment that provides hemorrhoids relief to those regardless of pregnancy is one to trust. That means that it gets to the very core beginning of the problem and cures your ailment completely. We suggest a certain solution that is guaranteed to give hemorrhoids relief regardless of whether or not you are pregnant.
How to Get Rid of Hemorrhoids Once and for All!!
The way to get rid of hemorrhoids is simply a combination of knowledge and specific steps taken toward each contributing cause of your problem. You need to develop an understanding of where hemorrhoids come from and what causes them. If you have that knowledge, you can figure out how to correct the current wrongs and prevent future wrongs from occurring. That is how you get rid of hemorrhoids.
The specific steps you need to take in order to get rid of hemorrhoids result from your knowledge of eliminating each contributing factor to your problem. So what are the contributing factors? What wrongs do you need to right in order to obtain hemorrhoid relief? It is quite simply as follows…
The most common and usually the first contributing factor to be considered to get rid of hemorrhoids is constipation and inability to cleanse waste. If you can reverse constipation, you will be one step closer to being able to get rid of hemorrhoids. The reason constipation leads to your problem is that it creates excess pressure on your anal veins, causing them to become inflamed and sometimes even break. You can reverse constipation with ingredients like cayenne and ginger to get rid of hemorrhoids.
Speaking of veins breaking, that is another contributing factor to your problem. You will need to address both weakened veins and the inflammation developed from broken veins in order to get rid of hemorrhoids. Stone root and white oak bark are both well known for strengthening weakened veins. And if you use witch hazel, you can ease the irritation and inflammation which will bring you one step closer to get rid of hemorrhoids.
Poor blood circulation and cleanliness are another factor to consider as you try to get rid of hemorrhoids. The cleanliness and circulation of your blood plays a huge role in both the development and recovery of your hemorrhoids, whether they be internal, external, thrombosed, or bleeding. You can enhance your circulatory system with butcher's broom root.

Tu, Y-K., Gunnell, D. and Gilthorpe, M.S. (2008) Simpson's Paradox, Lord's Paradox, and Suppression Effects are the same phenomenon – the reversal paradox. Emerging Themes in Epidemiology, 5 (2). ISSN 1742-7622
This article discusses three statistical paradoxes that pervade epidemiological research: Simpson's paradox, Lord's paradox, and suppression. These paradoxes have important implications for the interpretation of evidence from observational studies. This article uses hypothetical scenarios to illustrate how the three paradoxes are different manifestations of one phenomenon – the reversal paradox – depending on whether the outcome and explanatory variables are categorical, continuous or a combination of both; this renders the issues and remedies for any one to be similar for all three. Although the three statistical paradoxes occur in different types of variables, they share the same characteristic: the association between two variables can be reversed, diminished, or enhanced when another variable is statistically controlled for. Understanding the concepts and theory behind these paradoxes provides insights into some controversial or contradictory research findings. These paradoxes show that prior knowledge and underlying causal theory play an important role in the statistical modelling of epidemiological data, where incorrect use of statistical models might produce consistent, replicable, yet erroneous results.

Hey guys,
I'd like to share these two printer-friendly cheat sheets I've made from the Babypips lessons.
Chart Patterns Cheat Sheet.pdf (155.9 KB)
Japanese Candlestick Cheat Sheet.pdf (122.2 KB)
Thank you for sharing your cheat sheets @alvarob!
thanks a lot
Thank you!
What's the best timeframe to use when looking at the candlestick patterns?
Thanks a lot for sharing these 2 cheat sheets! Just keep it up with the good work!
I'm a beginner trader, but as far as I know, you can use the candlestick patterns in any time frame, although shorter time frames (i.e. < 5 min) may be noisy sometimes.
There is a lesson about that here: Learn Forex Chart Patterns - BabyPips.com
Thank you friend.
yeah, i did this as well when i was newbie
still got the print outs,
i also laminated them in case of coffee spills or whatever
i remember thinking
"I'm gonna remember each one of these and EVERY TIME they happen, i'll know what to do to be profitable" LMFAO
ummm… yeah… it doesn't actually work like that.
they have been sitting in the shed and are completely covered with dust
thank you for sharing this, and i appreciate the gesture as does the forum i imagine
these charts are EYE CANDY
You will not be profitable by memorizing these charts
but… THAT IS A LEARNING EXPERIENCE IN ITSELF
so… share them around
and see how you go
if nothing else…
at least it shows you have a willingness to share
be cool
Thanks very much for sharing.
Thank you Alvarob,
I am very new but it looks like the cheat sheets would be very useful
if i can draw your attention to scroll up 2 comments and view my post before making this decision hehe.
Point taken Martin_K.: I will keep on studying.
Thank you.
hehe… Good Man
if you want a tip though…
When Looking at candlesticks, try to understand WHAT THE MARKET IS TRYING TO DO, instead of memorizing patterns of candlesticks and and delivering the standard response for said pattern.
Thanks for the tip.
Are you implying that understanding the market trumps the technical analysis? Some sites seem to be trying to get me to pay a premium on education which seem to be focused heavily on pattern?
Is Baby pips enough to get me started.
No, i'm not Implying it… I'M STATING IT AS A FACT
Understanding Anything, trumps Analysis of Anything.
you can analyze charts until the cows come home, HOWEVER, if you don't understand what it all means IT MEANS NOTHING.
now… just in case there is some misunderstanding here
fundamental analysis trumps technical analysis. because i did not say that nor did i imply it, and if you took it that way, then YOU ASSUME IT
No… What i meant was…
so, instead of memorizing patterns and FIXED RESPONSES to those patterns
INSTEAD , based on the behaviour of the market… UNDERSTAND THE INTENTION OF THE MARKET
now… does understanding INTENTION, trump Technical Analysis… YES IT DOES… any day of the week.
as for this
of course they do, and can you blame them ?
When you have a newbie that doesn't know anything or many of them, you can charge them for information THAT THEY THINK IS GOOD, when it really is just basic information
which then brings me to this point
YES. it's MORE THAN GOOD ENOUGH
but, beyond babypips, you have to learn how to apply the knowledge you have learned
babypips will also teach you patterns and cheat sheets (take this with a grain of salt)
it's much more useful to watch the screens and LEARN HOW AN INSTRUMENT BEHAVES, so then when you apply technical analysis, IT GIVES A DEEPER AND MORE ACCURATE INSIGHT INTO WHAT THE INTENTION IS.
but as a general rule DO NOT EVER PAY FOR SOMEONE TO TEACH YOU PATTERNS, that's Naive.
I'm a guitarist
thats' like me saying to you , i'll charge you to teach you Scales and Chords and Nothing More
well. Learning Am Scale and C Major Chord is completely useless unless you know how to combine the chords into chord progressions, or a scale is useless unless you understand Chord Construction and how to use a scale to solo over a Chord
Knowing the Cheat sheet of … this is Am and this is B and this is C and this is Fm7 etc…
Means nothing unless you know how to put it together
and in trading, Learning chart patterns means nothing unless YOU UNDERSTAND THE INTENTION OF THE MARKET when observing certain events
in babypips, you are taught, WHEN YOU SEE THIS…DO THIS
Sadly its' not as easy as that, this is not Binary Logic and it's not a computer that has a Truth Table, or… At least, it is a computer that you are trading with, but IT IS NOT USING THE TRUTH TABLE THAT YOU THINK IT'S USING.
it has a more complicated truth table with many more outcomes beyond… THIS HAPPENS… SO DO THIS.
and because of that YOU NEED TO ADAPT TO A CHANGING MARKET, the Market is not Binary it's not Digital, it's not fixed, it is dynamic and keeps changing, so as to better Mess with your head hehe THIS IS THE TRUTH
be cool
Be cool and be patient seem to be the strategy. Look like the road ahead is a long one. Thanks
How do learn YOU UNDERSTAND THE INTENTION OF THE MARKET - Experience?
NOW… that's an intelligent question… Good Work.
Actually i have a cheat Sheet for you (Just Kidding)
Seriously though, it's like this…
yes , it comes with experience, but There is also a more systematic approach to it, it goes like this…
Pick 1 instrument
Use it on Demo
Get a few hours of screen time a day
and basically you can either Demo Trade on it , or Just watch it.
Now. Because of how your brain works, AFTER A BIT OF TIME your brain is going to find patterns and some logic to the madness (so to speak), now when these patterns occur that you will seem to notice think about … "Why is the Market doing this" and try to understand the Intention of the Market
Imagine you are the Market Makers trying to get everyone's money, Ask yourself if you did this would it be profitable for you?
start by asking yourself this question
if you are trading EURUSD for example and the market wants to go up, WHY DO PULL BACKS EXIST,? Why doesn't the market just keep going up and up without pullbacks
also. what would happen if pullbacks never occurred
start there
Thanks a million. I cannot answers those questions yet but I see other questions eg Why do resistance occur and what cause the eventual break through.
Exactly, and You're Welcome
so yes, ask yourself WHAT IS A RESISTANCE… REALLY ?? i mean, in the real world, WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN FOR A RESISTANCE TO OCCUR
and yes, a VERY GOOD QUESTION is to understand what is happening when a BREAKOUT happens
keep thinking like this and you'll eventually understand the market intention
and another useful question to ask is this
if Resistance on the Buy Side is when the Sellers are starting to overcome the Buyers then… IS ALL RESISTANCE REAL ?
have you ever played a game of tug o war
sometimes both opponents really put in 100% effort
but have you ever played tug of war as a 30 year old against 4 1st graders hehe
They Really Really believe that because there is 4 of them , they are going to win,
but truth is, they don't stand a chance
Truth is… You given them resistance to achieve a certain purpose and goal, but in the end, WHATEVER YOU WANT TO HAPPEN… WILL HAPPEN
now. if that means, YOU LET THEM WIN, that's what will happen
if that means you let the rope go and they sit on their arse… that will happen
if that means you pull really hard and they cross the line quickly… that will happen
if that means, you pull JUST ENOUGH so that they cross the line but they cross it slowly, so as to make it look like IT WAS CLOSE… that will happen
if that means that you just stand their and hold the rope until they get tired, and then you win, … that will happen
so… IS ALL RESISTANCE REAL… is a good question ?

PENDER, Nebr.—Blue Ox has debuted its newest motorhome mount recreational tow bar, the 31-pound Ascent.
The Ascent was created to lighten up the tow bar, while still giving it the capacity to tow anything up to a 7,500-pound vehicle, according to Blue Ox Marketing Director Chad Wall.
"Our former aluminum tow bar only had an aluminum exterior," Wall says. "We wanted to lighten it up a bit. It's exactly the same length as our Avail, but built out of aircraft grade aluminum. The only steel component is the stinger that goes into the receiver."
Wall says the new Ascent tow bar was well received at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas, as the company took several orders from customers, something not usually done at the show, he says.
"We are extremely proud of the Ascent and its reception at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas," Blue Ox CEO Ellen Kietzmann says. "Dealers love the new look and the ease of use they have come to know with the Avail. The convenience of its lightweight construction will be a great advantage to our consumers. We are really excited to introduce the Ascent to the recreational towing market at RVIA."
The new tow bar features a premium Diamond Vogel powder coat finish with metallic accents. The exclusive badge is gold-toned and distinctive. These features ensure that the new Ascent, like its popular steel-constructed counterpart the Avail, compliment and accentuate modern coach design.
The Ascent also features the non-binding, low profile latches found on the Avail tow bar. These
revolutionary latches easily release on uneven terrain providing consumer friendly hook ups and
"Please come by and see us at RVIA and let us give you a preview of what is
next in recreational towing," Kietzmann says.
Wall says the company is excited to debut it to the motorhome aftermarket industry at RVIA and to its dealers at the show.
"It's just coming off the line this week," he says. "We've had a few people testing it so far and they've liked it and it's had no problems at all. Other than that, people are already placing orders for it."
Blue Ox will be at Booth No. 30, Nov. 27–30.

For me is pleasure to present one of my latest drawings. I haven't posted for a long time but now I'm back.
This is caricature portrait of two of the most famous people in Bulgaria.They are the major figures of "Slavi Show" (TV show) - Georgi Milchev-Godgi (left) and the boss- Slavi Trifanov (right).
This project is personal decision and try to make it the way you see it now. When I start drawing them I thought ... "Easy one.Will draw it for a day or maximum two" ...
I was so so wrong. Unfortunately they wasn't that easy, so I've done them for two weeks (with huge breaks due to other responsibilities). I hope this result will make people who knows them smile.
If you want me do drawing someone special for you, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Check out the video for Ellie's cover of Elton John's Your Song. It's simple but effective; the video has a real homely feel to it, and seems to show a real personal side to her, almost as if expressing how she's still human and normal since having been rocketed into fame. None of the passion is lost with her much gentler vocals, a really nice cover in all.
On the Jovi front, it's been a busy couple of weeks! I was at the cinema last night with about 20 other people to watch the New Meadowlands show; I guess there aren't many Bon Jovi fans in Southampton! It felt a bit weird clapping and singing along in a cinema, but by the end it was all good fun. A really cool show too, really showed off the band well, even though it was only ever going to be seen my diehards. The sound wasn't actually too bad in the cinema, a totally new way of watching a concert which I really enjoyed.
In the UK, Bon Jovi are the cover story for the Big Issue, priced at £1.70, with 85p going to the vendor; something I'm sure Jon is all the happier for. There's an a4 sized headshot of him inside sporting a greying beard, but of course he pulls it off.
And on the personal front, I've (Birds In Flight) got a busy next couple of weeks with gigs in Southampton that I'm of course looking forward to. We recorded last week so once it's all mixed and mastered we'll be setting up a Myspace page and I'll be able to share it with you then. For now, have a great weekend :)

BMW 7 Series Performance Upgrades
For BMW 7 Series tuning and performance parts, Dinan Engineering is the leading designer and manufacturer for the parts that will increase engine power and enhance road handling and take your ride to a whole new level of performance.
One of the most effective ways to increase horsepower is to install a cold air intake. The cold air intake upgrade utilizes the greater density of colder air that adds more flammable oxygen molecules per square inch and burns fuel more effectively. Dinan high flow exhaust systems can add 10% more horsepower or more by reducing backpressure and making it easier for your engine's system to get rid of waste gases. Our custom exhaust system provides free flow while eliminating much of the unwanted noise that many of these systems produce.
For road-gripping handling and stylish looks, we also offer performance wheel sets that reduce your vehicle's unsprung weight and help maintain contact with the road surface. Add Dinan tuned struts and shocks and you have a road-hugging ride that will lend a whole new meaning to the term "Ultimate Driving Machine." Additional performance enhancements include a chip or software upgrade. Among our selection of BMW 7 Series performance parts you will find performance software and chips that will increase engine performance and enhance shifting without the need to make major mechanical modifications.
You can contact us by telephone toll free at 800.341.5480 or via our convenient web form. We'll be happy to answer any questions you may have about any of our BMW performance upgrades and parts.

When your job is to go to strangers' homes and "repo" items they cannot pay for, there is a chance of encountering some angry people.
In Ansonia, a 35-year-old repo man from Hamden encountered an angry and armed person and was shot in the knee, the New Haven Register reports. Police arrested a man and woman who reportedly both confessed, the paper reports.
On Wednesday afternoon, a man working for York Towing of New Haven went to repossess a vehicle at 4 Reichelt Terrace. A man came out of the house, argued over whether the man had the right to take his car, then assaulted and shot him, the newspaper reports.
The man told cops he shot the repo man, then the woman said she pulled the trigger, cops told the paper.
Police charged Efrain Rodriguez, 30, with first-degree assault, criminal use of a firearm, criminal possession of a firearm, carrying a pistol without a permit, criminal violation of a protective order. He is being held on $250,000 and is due in court on Thursday.
Police charged Sabrina Vazquez, 27, with interfering with a police officer. She was released and is due in court on March 15.
The victim's injuries are not life-threatening.

"A Conspiracy to rule the World"
Unveiling the true nature of this secret organization would be very extensive and even hard to explain, suffice to say that it has multiple ramifications and it's developed to achieve ultimate control of banking economy, finances, pharmaceutical industries, military weapons, food, religious beliefs, technology, mass media and science.
Practically this organization has a vast compartmentalized structure that only those members –a supreme grand master- in the higher ranks of its pyramidal structure know about. It's like a club, a secret sect that has blood agreements; the driving force of these masters has to do with satanic energies, which offer them a sort of supernatural powers in order to obtain certain goals of domination and destruction of their adversaries. They have passed off Satanism as pedophilia, so they have at their disposal a network of black magicians, for mind control, remote viewing and intelligence agencies such as MI6, NSA, CIA, Mossad that work for them and very advanced technology they got from alien space ships that crashed.
Not only do they have huge amounts of money, they use it to ensure political power and pay infiltrated agents in all the key positions of public and private organizations, they gather a huge pile of information to control governments and politicians in many countries, they have manipulated world economy and they are the masterminds behind every economic collapse, past and future, as we said it before, they plan to establish a new world order, which is not new after all. Unfortunately they have obtained ancients artifacts, gadgets and they have back engineered alien technology and rediscovered scientific advances from Atlantis.
Powerful families like the Rothshild, Rockefeller are behind of these plans, the Illuminati group has fallen in a trap in which they ended up parasitized by dark energies known by many people as Archons, although we envisaged them as Demiurge and primordial beings, these entities have taken the names of Moloch, Baal and gods from Babylon and Sumer as well.
The Illuminati had been promised that they would receive power to rule the world as global elite and the rest of us would be under their command, however, the very dark powers they managed to contact with lied to them. At first they thought they could attain a NWO in which they could establish a one world government in which only they would have all the privileges, but they did not realize that the main objective of these dark entities was the total annihilation of mankind, by infiltrating artificial intelligence, which could pervade people and through trans humanization gain total domination of Earth, so this plan includes these people who are actually part of the illuminati.
The dangerous path the Illuminati have chosen is now threatening the very existence of this planet, which is why extraterrestrial beings from other systems have intervened blocking their demonic plans because the threat is huge and it can spread to other planets.
Some researchers have linked the Illuminati with reptilian beings, and they pointed that their elitist lineages have hybrid DNA, this is partially true, but we know for sure that reptilian beings do not care about humanity, but they want to keep humanity under control and remain hidden underground (in a sort of status quo) where they can kidnap human beings, mostly children as labor force, a source of DNA for experimentation and food. This was hard to believe until we got evidence from remote viewers, but there is also archaeological evidence that support this theory, testimonies from witnesses and our own research on the topic.
The technology that Illuminati have now is quite amazing, they have anti-gravity aircrafts, space ships capable to travel to Mars in minutes, teleportation technology, a secret Space program quite similar to sci-fi movies like Star Trek, biotechnology capable to restore damaged organs, body parts, life extension, creation of clones, free energy technology also plagiarized from Tesla and they planned not to share this advances with humanity and save the planet, but on the contrary they want to have the planet for themselves, they already have the cure of cancer and many diseases, obtained many decades ago.
Ask yourself, Have you noticed that these people live longer lives, quite healthy and peaceful lives and they are cancer free? The elite do not go to a public hospital, they receive special treatment from unknown personnel and they do not expose their body fluids or DNA samples to anybody. Have you noticed that very important people (who belong to the Illuminati) do not receive Chemotherapy? Not even their doctors want to receive this treatment. Do you know why? Only common people have to undergo these medical procedures?
This is part of their plan of their plan of depopulation because they do not want to lose control. Now, what are their future plans? They have planned to create a financial crash this year because they are running out of time. Sooner or later they want to provoke a major incident or crisis that will make look previous economic collapses like children games, they were organizing a major war in middle east, serious enough that people will not have other choice to accept their terms, but if everything fails, what they really want is to push forward a plan to have people under control.
These are their plans in the agenda:
A false flag announcement (An alien Landing or Epidemic threat)
Lockdown on Internet, Communications, travel etc.
Claiming an alleged defeat
Discovery of Human "Clones"
Announcement of a Second invasion
Pressure a one world government
Implantation of a RFID chip
The alien Landing will not be an open invasion, but holographic technology will be used (Project Blue beam), they have already prepared propaganda and videos of the alleged struggle between the alien forces and the "good" guys from the American Army. It does not mean that this "alien" landing is going to happen, but they have this plan already prepared. Make no mistake, if this "alien invasion" should happen, do not panic, it will be a false flag operation destined to gain total control over population.
If you have watched the movie "the 5th wave" you'll understand their agenda, for they want to implant an RFID chip, they have been preparing us for many years and this will be the way to identify alien invaders from human beings. Again, make no mistake, this will be the excuse they will use to implant this advanced microchip in order to take control over your body, although this will sound like science fiction, these are the plans they truly have.
The Illuminati have already set up false flags wars before, they have destabilized Europe and the Middle East now, creating a disaster with thousands of refugees and they choose who is going to replace the American president, they have cloning technology and even if their selected candidate dies unexpectedly, her body can be replaced.
First they created the war against terrorism and now they need this new false flag operation to "create" the next necessary enemy according to the Iron Mountain report. That's needed to take over the world. This event will be the major false flag in History if it happens, but we are not saying that this will necessary happen, it's just the plans they have prepared, If it happens, above all things do not be afraid because that is what they want from you, in panic most people will look for salvation and they will easily surrender their free will, self-determination and sovereignty, but remember that it will be a false flag like the one we saw in New York 9/11, this will not be an extraterrestrial race threatening us because our planet is currently under quarantine.
I hope you will take necessary precautions if the previous plans take action.

"This kind of thing it doesn't happen every lifetime, my hands in your hand we're going to make this spirit to come alive." - "Come Alive"
Jourdan Hines sees the sunny side of things.
The title track off his debut album "Come Alive" symbolizes his optimistic side through a pop-folk-bluegrass fusion that is sure to warm the spirits of anyone.
The Ellsworth High School graduate knew he wanted to be a musician when he was younger. Whether that meant messing around with friends in high school in a band, playing as many instruments as he could get his hands on, or singing in his church choir.
Music speaks to Hines, unlike anything else he's ever experienced.
"It's kind of one of those, when you find something you're passionate about, it chooses you rather than you choosing it," Hines said.
Hines is the son of Dale and Julie Hines. Dale owns and operates Hines Ranch, while Julie is the Register of Deeds for Pierce County.
After graduating high school, Hines attended McNally Smith College of Music where he graduated with a two-year degree in Music Production before going to the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse where he earned a Bachelor's degree in Music Theory and Philosophy. Since graduating college, he's lived in Madison for almost a decade.
Hines grew up playing the saxophone, taking piano lessons, and learning the guitar, electric bass, and drums.
It's important to Hines that he's a singer and songwriter, but still values the music production behind it all. On "Come Alive," Hines said it's a self-produced album and said the album has been a long time coming.
"I won't trade these years for anything. Because when I got you, I've got everything." - "Simple Life"
On the song, "Simple Life," Hines and his wife Mary Wallin sing together about how all they need is each other. Hines said within two months he married Wallin and put together his album.
A lot of the inspiration behind his album is Wallin;"Come Alive" was a song he wrote for her shortly after they began dating.
The couple met while at UW-LaCrosse in a class called Philosophy of Love, Sex, and Friendship, but didn't date until a few years later.
Wallin was a "sounding board," according to Hines; when he needed help, she was always there.
"She's given me a tremendous amount of support in actualizing the album...She was helpful when I was trying different ideas on some of the songs and needed feedback," Hines said.
The couple have collaborated on other songs as well, including a cover of the 1987 song "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" by Starship, that is included on the album.
"You belong among the wildflowers, you belong somewhere close to me, far away from your trouble and worry, you belong somewhere you feel free." - "Wildflowers"
Creating an album has always been on Hines' mind. He's been involved with cover bands, but "Come Alive" is personal, encapsulating his perspective perfectly.
Hines defines his music as "feel good" and said that it's his "mission statement" in his music.
"It's kind of my mission statement...I want to share that with people," Hines said. "I think we can use more positivity in the world."
The five-track album is available for streaming on Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes, and Amazon now, but Hines will be at Clyde's Corner in Beldenville at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 20 where his album will be available for purchase; he will perform as well.
"Come Alive" is the first part of a three-part series of albums. Hines said he hopes to release the next two albums in 2018 at different times.
For a chance to listen to Hines' music, not just his album but also his various covers including Justin Timberlake's song "Can't Stop the Feeling!", visit his website: As" target="_blank">jourdanhines.com. As
As" target="_blank">jourdanhines.com.
Asan up-and-coming artist who's been formally educated, Hines acknowledges how difficult the music industry can be. Hines said knowing how the business works, not just how to make music, is key.
Hines credits himself as a DIY or do-it-yourself kind of musician and said to make it in this business, artists have to have heart.
"You have to have the gumption, the wherewithal...to put yourself out there," Hines said. "You have to take a good look at yourself to see if you can make it in this industry."
"But even on the dark stormy days, Our brightest colors won't fade." - "Butterfly"

Wow! Bond 365 has hit 100 days! I didn't know if I could do it for the long haul and while I still have over two-thirds of the year to go, I am well and truly on my way. I'm hoping to add a bit more in the way of reviews and in depth analysis, but some days just getting the entry out and on the page with the other tasks I have is the best I can do. So, thank you for coming back repeatedly, which means a lot to me. Have a wonderful evening and see you tomorrow!
Aileen Lewis
Born this day in 1914
Chess Tournament Spectator in From Russia With Love
This is Aileen Lewis' second appearance in Bond 365, having been spotlighted on February 12 for her passing at the age of 99. Her career started in 1959 and concluded in 1977 for a total of 21 acting credits. In addition to working on From Russia With Love, she did do a guest appearance in Roger Moore's The Saint for two separate roles in 1962 and 1965. She also completed an uncredited appearance in Doctor Who in 1970 during Jon Pertwee's stint as the time traveler.
Maurice Binder
Passed away this day in 1991
Main Titles for Dr. No, Thunderball, You Only Live Twice, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, Diamonds Are Forever, Live and Let Die, The Man with the Golden Gun, The Spy Who Loved Me, Moonraker, For Your Eyes Only, Octopussy, A View to a Kill, The Living Daylights, Licence to Kill
Maurice Binder was a visual designer who worked on many opening title sequences over several decades. He designed advertisements for Macy's in New York City and eventually moved west to work at Universal Studios. The opening sequence below from The Grass Is Greener (1960) apparently brought Binder to the attention of Broccoli and Saltzman and he was hired to do the opening credits of Dr. No. He came up with the gunbarrel sequence that became a standard of every James Bond film opening. He completed 14 title sequences for Bond and a total of 81 during his career.

This is a lesson straight out of Investing 101. While everyone has a different investing philosophy, I don't think anyone doubts the security of bonds. They may not hold the lucrative potential as other strategies, and you probably wouldn't want to invest everything you have in them for this reason, but they also don't share the risks that come with the promise of large percentage gains. Still, buying bonds isn't as straightforward as you might have imagined, and there are several vital lessons to be learned before you spend a penny. We'll look at the different ways you can buy bonds and the pros and cons of each. Most people who buy bonds have a much larger share in the stock market; I wouldn't trust myself with my money, but if you think you're that kind of person, here's as good a guide as you'll get on how to invest in the stock market.
And a bond is…?
A bond is a debt security. This means that you are lending money to a bond issuer; most commonly, the government, a corporation, municipality, or other federal agency or entity. It works just like a loan. In return for your money now, the issuer gives you a bond that is symbolic of a "promise" to pay you a predetermined rate of interest throughout the life of the bond. When the bond matures—five, ten, twenty years down the road—the issuer then repays you the face value (principal) of the bond.
Why bonds?
The best investment advice anyone will ever give you is this: maintain a diversified portfolio. Don't put all your eggs in one basket. The great thing about bonds is their consistency. Most bonds pay interest twice a year, so twice a year you can rely on a payout. In addition, when the bond matures, your capitol investment is returned to you in full. So only invest money in bonds that you don't plan on touching. More and more people, as they approach retirement, are transferring their investments over to bonds; once you retire and you no longer have an income, you can't afford a year in the stock market like 2008.
Fancy yourself more of a risk taker? Learn how to buy or invest in real estate in the post-bubble era.
Going After The Feds
The easiest bonds to buy are those sold by the federal government. These U.S. treasuries are sold at regularly scheduled auctions. The cheapest way to purchase them is to buy them yourself directly from the Treasury. You can also have a broker, or even a bank, purchase them for you, but a bank will charge you a fee, as will brokers depending on the nature of their billing practices.
Mutual Funds
Good news first. Buying bonds through a mutual fund gives you a lot of diversity. You may not own, say, ten bonds outright, but you'll have a hand in hundreds of mutually owned bonds.
Further, instead of the semiannual payouts offered by the Treasury, dividends from mutual funds are paid monthly. So that's a nice way to pad the monthly paycheck. You can also choose to have your dividends reinvested into the mutual fund automatically, and thus grow your share month by month. You can also reinvest that money into an emergency fund.
Now for the bad news. Whereas individual bonds are more or less set in stone, mutual funds are comparatively liquid, meaning you can sell them more easily for cash. This probably sounds like a good thing, and sometimes it is, but it comes with an awful side effect. That wonderful guarantee we talked about in which you're principal is assured? Gone. That amazing, almost unheard of benefit of a fixed maturity? Gone with wind, my friend. Neither your principal nor that sweet monthly income is guaranteed. Kind of defeats the purpose, doesn't it?
Not exactly. Mutual funds are incessantly buying and selling bonds to maximize profits, so there is certainly a reward for your risk. You can buy relatively safe mutual funds by looking for funds that offer low expenses and favorable total returns (choosing funds based on their yields can be misleading, FYI).
Via Broker
First things first. Buying bonds on your own that are not government issued is incredibly risky if you don't know what you're doing. For example, older bonds traded on the "secondary market" (that is, not through stock exchanges, federal entities, etc.) carry massive transaction costs that you don't see. These transaction costs are the difference between what a bond dealer paid for them and the price he's charging you. Needless to say, it's easy to make a poor investment.
Therefore, when buying new, individual bonds, take advantage of the ability to get them directly from the source; there's no other way to get them at a fair price.
Here are a couple ideas for investing in bonds:
- If you want a steady source of income, you have to be more conservative. Don't buy bonds with terms shorter than one year or longer than ten. This is the perfect middle-ground. They yield more than bonds with shorter terms and are more stable than longer-term issues. Going back to investment law #1 (diversify), buy a variety of bonds; some with one-year terms, some with five, some with ten, etc. This will make your month-to-month payout more consistent.
- If you're trying to rake the cash in, you'll need a different, riskier approach. You'll want to buy long-term bonds, those with maturity dates greater than ten years. But your interest can change dramatically. When interest rates rise, you're portfolio is going lose value immediately. Then again, when interest rates fall, it comes right back.
My advice is to hash-out a plan with someone who specializes in this kind of thing, a broker or even some professional instruction on the bond market. Even if you don't buy through a broker, a little extra advice could go a long, long way.
