Earlier in 2019 Sir David Attenborough's critically important TY programme 'Climate Change – The Facts' was screened. I reported in detail on the scientific evidence covered in the programme – click HERE to read.
Donald Trump's denial of the dire effects of climate change and the effects of a warming planet reminds us that there are many people out there that think that all talk of a climate crisis is unwarranted. Whether you are a believer or not please read on…………
Greenhouse gases are having the effect of warming the planet …. and now in the 21st century they are increasing at an alarming rate! This article by the National Geographical explains why they are at a record high! – click HERE or see below:
Carbon dioxide levels are at a record high. Here's what you need to know. https://t.co/JxTEiGw6SC via @NatGeo
— Vic_Sussex (@victor_ient) October 17, 2019
Greenhouse gases are being produced at an alarming rate! According to the UK Government in 2017, UK net emissions of carbon dioxide were provisionally estimated to be 366.9 million tonnes metric). Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the main greenhouse gas, accounting for 81 per cent of total UK greenhouse gas emissions. Click HERE to see the report dated 29 Mar 2018. On an individual basis we In have an average individual carbon footprint of about 9 tonnes of CO2 per year but that's only an average for everyone from children though to the older generation. It varies tremendously depending on your lifestyle or work. For instance, if you drive a vehicle for your living you could easily treble this figure. According to Carbon Footprint the average petrol car produces 2.99 tonnes of CO2 annually. But if you are a frequent flyer this CO2 emission rapidly increases:
According to the Environmental Transport Association (ETA) just one return flight from London to New York produces a greater carbon footprint than a whole year's personal allowance needed to keep the climate safe. Or put it another way – according to My Climate one person on one flight on a round trip from London to New York (US), JFK, in economy class, would use 1.8 tons of CO2. Let's say there are 300 people on the flight – that one flight gives off 540 tons of CO2! Just on one flight! Using Carbonify to calculate how many trees one would have to plant to compensate for this one flight of 300 passengers I reckon we are looking at over 6000 trees. Just for one return flight UK to New York! (one Metric tonne = 1,10 US tons)
Obviously one can question all calculations but surely everyone will agree there is something serious going on. On almost a daily basis warnings are given of the impact of global warming.
Recommendation: Check out what the experts say……….. click on the image below to see what the UK Government's Committee on Climate Change say:
The Committee on Climate Change (the CCC) is an independent, statutory body established under the Climate Change Act 2008. Their purpose is to advise the UK Government and Devolved Administrations on emissions targets and report to Parliament on progress made in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and preparing for climate change.
(one Metric tonne = 1,10 US tons)
One of the UK's largest renewable energy suppliers has written to the Chancellor to warn that plans to change VAT from 5% to 20% for families buying solar panels and renewable technology could harm the country's push for a net zero carbon economy by 2050.
Juliet Davenport, chief executive and founder of Good Energy – which has around 250,000 customers, called on Sajid Javid to scrap the plans, which come into effect on October 1.
The Government has recently announced an additional £2.5m in funding for the public on-street electric car charging infrastructure, claiming that the cash will see an extra 1,000 charging points installed in residential areas.
The Independent newspaper has a useful article on this announcement but it and other media fail to cover the importance of getting local councils to apply for grants
Local authorities should take action now and apply for grants for such programmes. It's long been the practice of government to announce a programme with limited funds and of course it sounds good. However, unless local councils apply for the money, EV facilities won't come to our local area. £2.5 million won't go very far. We suspect the big cities will be quick off the mark in applying for funds and that will leave rural towns at a disadvantage.
It's essential that local county and district councillors are lobbied in order to get their councils to apply for grants ASAP. A letter by residents to the Leader of the Council might kick things off. Contact details can be easily found on council web sites.
Here is a sample letter that you could send to your own local council:
Dear <………….>
Government funding for on-street electric-car charging is to be doubled according to Transport Secretary, Grant Shapps. An extra £2.5m will available for local authorities to install charge points on residential roads. The scheme is aimed at providing access to charging infrastructure near the homes of people without off-street parking. Also it is understood that the Government are willing to consider applications for charge points situated in car parks owned by the Local Authority where they meet the objectives of the scheme i.e. that the car park is suitably located in or near a residential area and provides an option for local residents looking to charge their car both during the day and overnight.
Data published by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders shows 14,200 pure electric new cars were bought during the first seven months of the year, up 71% compared with the same period in 2018. These cars now hold a 1% share of the new car market.
It is understood that this funding is available to Local Authorities for eligible projects, on a first come, first-served basis. That being the case would you ask your officers to apply for funding as soon as possible before funds run out?
Kind Regards
Good luck!

This interim report promises to offer a route and branch re-organisation of UK railways but surprisingly it doesn't mention the major effect which improved railways can have on tackling the climate change challenge. This is very surprising considering promises coming forward recently from the government to tackle climate change.
It's disappointing to see that Mr Williams' interim report assiduously avoids talking about the excessive rail ticket prices we have in the UK, and especially the automatic increases which are applied by the UK government each year to rail fares. The next increase is due in January 2020, and there seems to be no move to halt this unfair system which penalises rail passengers ensuring we have the highest rail fares in Europe!
However, it's worth taking time to look at this forecast of what will be in the final report later on in the autumn as the changes predicted are potentially quite substantial.

The Healing Crystal Latte You Need To Try (And Exactly How To Make It At Home)
It looks innocuous from the outside, indistinguishable from the other gray-toned storefronts that line the streets of Williamsburg. And then you see the sign: "Fly High With Our Unicorn Latte!" Next to the words, there's a pink chalk drawing of a unicorn that looks magical and welcoming, like a My Little Pony for grown-ups. Ladies and gentleman, I've reached The End.
Home of the Unicorn Lattes that have taken over Instagram, The End is just your average neighborhood coffee shop, if your average neighborhood coffee shop has crystal-infused water sitting out in a pitcher and a menu of lattes filled with equal parts healing herbs and whimsy. "That's the point," says owner Madeleine Murphy. "We want people to come for the swirling colors and fun image opportunities and stay because, after they drink the lattes, they feel absolutely amazing. It's a way to bring a whole new audience to the wonderful world of wellness."
With ingredients like ashwagandha, CBD extract, mushrooms, collagen, maqui, and tocos swirled into drinks like the Magic Mushroom Latte, the Radiance Beauty Latte, and the Anxiety-Busting Hot Chocolate, there's a tonic for every ailment (and Instagram feed). We love the Unicorn Latte, a mix of juiced ginger and lemon, e3 live, and frothed almond milk topped with organic sprinkles and turmeric, but our favorite had to be the Amethyst Crystal Latte
"Amethyst is a remarkable stone of spirituality and contentment," says Madeleine. "This latte, infused with amethyst and rich purple-hued superfoods, stimulates the third eye and crown chakras and enhances cognitive perception. The antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-carcinogen effects of maqui berry, coconut oil, and Mulberry tea bring healing to the physical body as well."
Want to try it? Here's a recipe to make the Amethyst Crystal Latte at home. If you'd prefer the detoxifying, calming powers of the Unicorn Latte, we asked Madeleine to share that, too! Consider your magical morning sorted.
Purple Amethyst Tea Latte
- 1 tablespoon organic maqui berry powder
- 4 ounces water
- 1 teaspoon organic extra-virgin coconut oil
- 4 teaspoon tocos rice bran powder
- 1 teaspoon raw honey
- 1 cup boiling water***
- 2 tablespoons loose-leaf mulberry tea (great alternatives are goji berry or hibiscus tea)
- 1 to 2 medium-size tumbled purple amethyst crystals
- 1 cup hazelnut mylk (or nondairy mylk of your choice)
- dried lavender buds and organic maqui berry powder for garnish
- First, make the base. Whisk "base" ingredients into a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the powder dissolves, turn off heat, add the lavender buds, and steep for 5 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer, pushing on the petals to extract as much of the remaining flavor as possible. Stir in the raw honey and coconut oil.
- Now, make the tea. Mix tea leaves and crystals into a glass bowl or jar. Set your intention over them and let sit for at least 1 hour.
- Scoop out the crystal and set aside. Steep the tea leaves in boiling water for five minutes, then discard.
- Mix the base with milk, and froth with a milk frother to your desired warmth and foam.
- Fill your mug halfway with tea (4 ounces), and then add the steamed milk (4 ounces). Sprinkle with maqui berry powder and lavender buds. If you'd also like to add some "purple sparkly dust" for garnish, simply add a handful of dried lavender powder, maqui berry powder, a few drops of water, and organic raw sugar to a spice grinder, and pulse until they reach a fine powder. Use a fine-mesh strainer to give a light dusting of powder to top the latte.
** For extra crystalline goodness, you can infuse your water with polished amethyst and rose quartz up to 72 hours ahead of time before boiling. When infusing in water look for stones with Mohs of 5 or more so it doesn't slowly dissolve in the water. You can use this crystal energy-infused water in all sorts of tonics, smoothies, and concoctions!
Unicorn Latte
Says Madeleine, "This psychedelic looking drink is wonderful before a deep yoga session or meditation, served warm or chilled. Packed with phytonutrients like chlorophyll, carotenoids and polyunsaturated fatty acids, it sustains not only your body, but your brain as well."
- 1 cups raw cashews, soaked for 4 hours
- 3 cups filtered water
- 1 vanilla bean, insides scraped out2
- 2 oz of cold pressed ginger juice
- 2 oz lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon spirulina extract
- 1 tablespoon maca root
- 2 Medjool dates
- Turmeric, spirulina powder, and organic sprinkles to garnish (optional)
- Mix in a high-speed blender for one to two minutes until well combined and frothy.
- Heat on a stove until desired drinking temperature, or serve chilled over ice. Garnish with turmeric, spirulina, or sprinkles, if desired.

Johnston, Tony. The Soup Bone (published in 1990 by Harcourt). One lonely Halloween night a little old lady who lives on top of a hill decides to cook herself some soup but doesn't have a soup bone. Digging in the garden to search for one, she makes the acquaintance of a lively, hungry skeleton. After chasing the woman up a tree, the skeleton goes into the house and discovers the soup. In turn, it is frightened and is chased by a dog, and finally hides under the bed. After cornering the skeleton, the dog is revealed to be none other than the little old lady herself, dressed in her Halloween costume. After the two spend a riotous evening playing tricks together and sharing the soup in each other's company, they finally agree to be friends and venture out together to "scare somebody," since it is, after all, Halloween night.
Author Tony Johnston's text has the feel of a folktale. Illustrator Margot Tomes's typically rustic palette produces gouache paintings which reinforce the humorous quality of the story with soft muddy browns and grays, and accents of orange, red, and green, creating the ambience of a late October evening. This droll tale starring an old lady who makes several bones about her Halloween search for the perfect ingredient is a good choice for Halloween story hours. From a positive standpoint, it is refreshing to see an older woman portrayed as brave, clever, and spunky. Also there is some depth as the woman decides that when she finds a potential friend, regardless of their striking dissimilarities she should take advantage of that friendship's benefits. On a negative note, some small or sensitive children might find it a little scary. However, most readers, young and old, will feel that it is a really cute and fun story.

When watching a video in class
Tools for using video in the classroom
Be specific about instructions when watching videos to encourage active viewing.
Ask students to:
- Jot down a reflection when an even occurs
- Raise their hand during a specific event or quote
- Be prepared to respond to a specific prompt at the end of the video
- Talk about what active viewing looks like
Augment the video by:
- Pause the video and asking specific questions
- Check for understanding
- Do you guys check that out? What does that mean?
- Pausing the video and ask students to talk about what just happened with a partner
- Not 10-minute just a quick 2-minute conversation
- Playing the video twice and explain that you will be watching it twice
- For short videos
- Hiding the video and only showing the audio of the footage
- Listen to this artist and tell me what you think the work looks like
- Turning off the audio……
- What do you think they are saying?
How do you define yourself?
Electroics and Elementary School
Contined Reflection
Reflection is a huge part of my art education pedagogy. Reflecting as a teacher and asking students to reflect on their own understandings.
A very simple reflective practice to use in the art classroom is to continually ask students their definition of art. Asking students this question throughout a course provokes students to mindfully reevaluate their understanding of art and its function in society.

1) Talk to an attorney.
If he in fact used you "names for his businesses" you may well find thst you are actually owners/officers of those businesses, in that your are so listed in the incorporation paperwork.

South African Actress Is Beaten To Stupor By Her Boyfriend For Kissing In A Play
A South African actress is recovering in the hospital after she was beaten beyond recognition by her boyfriend for kissing an actor in a stage play.
The incident reportedly occurred at the weekend after 30-year-old Londiwe Ngcamu featured in a theatre production Seven Days War, set in the 1980s.
She was said to have played the lead role of an IFP woman who fell in love with an ANC member at the Winston Churchill Theatre.
After the show ended at around 10pm on Saturday, the mother of a two-month-old baby girl and a six-year-old boy met her boyfriend at the bus stop and walked home with him.

Your Mid-Year Review (and The Tactics You'll Need to Set Up for Profits in 2018)
For the last 100 years, investing in America frequently meant doing a little research, and then calling your broker to buy. Armed with a modicum of knowledge and data, yesterday's investors would often "set it and forget it" when it came to their financial future in a process euphemistically called "buy and hold."
Problem is, "buy and hold" is a marketing gimmick – not an investment strategy. Buy and manage is the way you want to go in today's complicated world, especially for the next six months.
As quaint as that may seem, it's a vision of the future prompted by new technologies that make this possible. Take the new "crystal fuel," for example. It's being hailed by many experts as energy's "Holy Grail" – a breakthrough fuel that's 1,693x more powerful than gasoline. [More info]
But that's just one of several incredible breakthroughs developing in the tech sector…
I'll get to those in a minute.
First, though, let's talk about the elephant in the room.
The single biggest question at hand is whether or not the markets can continue to rise into 2018 on nothing more than the promise of President Trump's tax cuts, infrastructure spending, and other legal reforms intended to spur economic growth.
[URGENT] Legislation from the Department of Labor uses obscure loophole to threaten retirees. Click for full story.
Many traders argue that the markets have "overpriced" the potential. Constant congressional bickering and the "resist" movement don't make this any easier. A record 44% of investors believe the markets are overvalued.
Money, interestingly enough, doesn't care.
Neither do I.
It doesn't matter whether we're talking about Brexit, ISIS, Russia, Trump, Clinton or any of a dozen other things people spend too many brain cells on lately.
Trying to predict the unpredictable is an exercise in futility. What's more, the fact that so many people believe the stock market is overvalued is a ginormous contrarian indicator which not only points to vastly underestimated profit potential but a rally.
We could talk about that till the cows come home and it wouldn't be a wasted discussion. However, that'd be overkill for what we're trying to accomplish today – a high level overview.
What you really want to understand is the concept of liquidity. Simply put, as long as that's increasing, prices and profits will, too.
It's an equation that we've talked about many times because there are huge piles of money that have to be put to work in everything from individual accounts to pension funds, proprietary trading shops and even central banks around the world. And, that's in a world where people assume the worst!
Imagine what happens if monetary policy actually shifts to stability and strength. The question then becomes how much higher and faster can markets go not what might cause them to roll over as most investors trying to time the markets "think."
I believe we'll get there later this year if for no other reason that politicians have boxed themselves into a corner. It doesn't matter whether we're talking here in America, across the pond in the Britain or France or a dozen other EU states nor in the Far East. The rise of populist thinking dictates that they have to play the growth card because it's the only one they have left.
More than any other factor, that suggests more money flowing into markets rather than away from them. It don't be in a straight line, of course, but then again rising markets never are.
The One Thing You Must Do Before the Markets Open on Monday
Tom Gentile's found an unusual pattern unfolding in the gold markets that could double your money in 60 days or less. And he's about to release the kind of trade recommendations we've already seen hit 456.3% total profits. To be sure you're ready for Monday's opening bell, go here now or risk missing out completely.
So now what?
Even without tax reform, earnings are forecast to grow by as much as 10% this year. That tells me that traders still have their foot firmly planted on the proverbial gas pedal. Sure we'll have some minor ups and downs but the path of least resistance is still higher into 2018.
Momentum will be strongest in companies that are:
a) In charge of their own destiny rather than that imposed upon them by Washington, and
b) Those with large enough liquidity to absorb the hundreds of billions of dollars in fresh capital that's naturally attracted to them.
Think FANG stocks here, but also the large defense contractors, too.
At the same time, remember our trends from Wednesday.
Embrace change.
The five most valuable companies in the world today, certainly in US markets, didn't exist 50 years ago.
So, rather than trying to hang on to outmoded thinking like many investors are, what you want to be doing is shift your thinking to those investments which are changing the very fabric of our society. (Like new forms of energy that even have the Saudis and the DoD in agreement)
It's not a coincidence, for example, that Tesla Inc. (NasdaqGS:TSLA) is worth more than General Motors Company (NYSE:GM) as of press time. Nor is it pure chance that Snap Inc. (NYSE:SNAP) went public despite being one of the worst examples I've seen in years of anything even remotely resembling a viable business.
I think you'll also want to prioritize dividend-paying companies into the tail end of this year.
Many institutional investors, you see, are dramatically behind the 8-ball, which means they're going to have to do some heavy buying just to get the right names in their reports come tax time – when anxious investors are reviewing their performance-based fees.
Of course, there's another benefit, too. Dividend paying companies tend to be far more stable than their non-dividend paying brethren which will serve you well should Trump's agenda lose its mojo and markets take a header. Overseas choices like Royal Dutch Shell plc (NYSE:RDS-B) may be even better bets considering that company's tax advantages and U.S. listing.
NEW: Secure Stakes in a "BLUE WHALE" Oil Discovery – Worth $605 Billion or more. [Full story]
Gold's probably a non-starter simply because most of the truly speculative buying that used to create such welcome volatility has transitioned to Bitcoin, marijuana stocks, and other speculative choices with the potential to rudely surprise speculators who fancy themselves true investors. Gold's important… just not the do-all, end-all that it once was.
Speaking of which, the Fed is clearly charting a course to higher rates yet, for all intents and purposes, remains on track for the slowest normalization in recorded history. That tells me bonds are still viable and very necessary through the end of this year even as rates rise. Probably beyond.
Many investors don't think the rates are high enough to merit the risk but I respectfully disagree, which is why choices like the PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio are worth thinking about. The fund holds senior floating rate notes that are securitized loans with coupon rates pegged to prevailing interest rates. That's because the coupons are reset as rates rise which means that tends to be far more stable over time than most investors who fear a rate hike believe.

Let's wind up with a quick look at volatility which continues to scape along at bottom-of-the-barrel levels as measured by the VIX. Most people think this demonstrates complacency when in reality what it means is traders simply are not all that concerned about hedging the next 30 days of trading activity.
Contrary to what a lot of people believe, the VIX has no predictive value whatsoever. To put it bluntly, it's the different between the possibility that you will crash your car versus the expectations that you will.

To sum up…
- Every one of the Unstoppable Trends we follow continues to expand as does the money being plowed into them.
- Overall market liquidity continues to increase as more than 80 central banks around the world play to growth rather than austerity.
- The best stocks making "must have" products and services continue to attract money.
Tactically, that means…
- Buying Dips: Every pull back is far more likely to be a buying opportunity than cause for panic. You can use Lowball Orders or even Sell Puts, too. Just make sure you're prepared for the upside potential that most investors will miss.
- Removing Emotion: The best and most profitable companies will be those in charge of their own destiny rather than dependent on Washington's foibles and Wall Street's self-indulgent trading. Ironically, they're also the least risky. The 50-40-10 Portfolio is your best friend here because it will ensure your risk stays in line with your returns while, at the same time, giving you all the profit potential you can handle.
- Trailing Stops: Most people think about these as a means of protecting your capital against a market selloff but I think the far more valuable use for them is taking profits, especially in markets like the present where there's a firm upside bias and rising liquidity.
If I had to sum up everything we've talked about this week it'd all come down to four words…
"…being in to win."
As always, I'll be with you every step of the way.

October 25, 2013
One week ago today, Bahrain Watch launched a campaign to stop a massive tear gas shipment to Bahrain. The campaign, called #StopTheShipment (http://stoptheshipment.org/), is based on what is apparently a leaked Bahraini government tender document, soliciting proposals for the provision of more than 1.6 million tear gas canisters.
#StopTheShipment seeks to stop tear gas shipments to Bahrain by putting pressure on manufacturers and export licensing authorities. Several international human rights groups have documented the indiscriminate, inhumane, and sometimes deadly way in which Bahrain's security forces have used teargas since the start of protests in February 2011. This includes mass teargassing of residential areas, shooting the gas directly into people's homes as they sleep, and firing canisters directly at protesters' heads and necks. Since 2011, 39 deaths in Bahrain may be attributable to tear gas, according to Physicians for Human Rights.
#StopTheShipment targets Bahrain's current tear gas suppliers: Rheinmetall Denel in South Africa and Germany, and DaeKwang Chemical and CNO Tech in Korea. In the past week, there has been a groundswell of support and interest from NGOs, the media, and others. Speaking to the Financial Times this week, a senior executive at DaeKwang Chemical confirmed that his company had sent about one million units of tear gas to Bahrain between 2011 and 2012.
Response from Korean Government
Bahrain Watch understands that a Korean journalist contacted the Korea DAPA, one of the two authorities in Korea responsible for issuing tear gas export licenses. A spokesperson apparently told the journalist that an unnamed company had requested permission from DAPA to export tear gas to Bahrain. The spokesperson also revealed that DAPA was currently consulting with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the matter.
Notable endorsements
A number of prominent activists, academics and journalists have endorsed the #StopTheShipment campaign, including Noam Chomsky, journalist John Pilger, David Graeber, Norman Finkelstein, Hamid Dabashi, David Barsamian and As'ad Abukhalil. A full list will be available shortly on the campaign website.
Letter writing campaign
Campaign participants have used the campaign website to send more than 33,800 emails to tear gas manufacturers and regulatory bodies in South Korea, asking them to not export tear gas to Bahrain. There have been more than 11,000 tweets on the #StopTheShipment hashtag.
Protest actions
Our campaign partners, Campaign Against Arms Trade, have organized two protests in front of the South Korean embassy in London: one on October 18, and one on October 25 (photos). At the October 18 protest, a delegation entered the embassy to deliver a letter to the South Korean Ambassador. The Ambassador refused to meet them and called the police.
Support in South Korea
The powerful Korean Confederation of Trade Unions sent a letter of complaint to DAPA, the South Korean government body in charge of regulating tear gas exports, demanding that they refuse to grant the export license for the planned shipment.
Amnesty International's Korea chapter has launched an urgent action targeting the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in which participants send e-mails calling on the Foreign Minister to halt tear gas exports to Bahrian.
Korean peace activists have announced they plan to hold a press conference next week.
Media coverage
The #StopTheShipment campaign has received widespread coverage in the international media, including the BBC, the New York Times and the Financial Times. A full listing is below:
New York Times: Rights Group Warns Against Bahrain's Use of Tear Gas Against Protesters
Financial Times: Bahrain boosts supplies of tear gas as instability continues
Independent: Tear-gas shells replace the Pearl as the symbol of Bahrain
VICE: Bahrain Just Bought More Tear Gas Canisters Than It Has Citizens

Alakhbar: Activists urge Korea to cancel massive tear gas shipment to Bahrain
RT: Bahrain's enormous tear gas tender exposed amid ongoing unrest
RT: 'Campaign of spiraling repression': Bahrain's massive tear gas shipment challenged by rights activists
Pro-government newspaper Gulf Daily News described our campaign as an attempt "to deny Bahrain's police force the ability to defend itself against attacks."
Human rights groups statements
Several human rights groups have issued statements urging action against tear gas exports to Bahrain, including Human Rights Watch, IFEX, Human Rights First and our campaign partner Americans for Democracy and Human Rights in Bahrain. Meanwhile, European Parliament member Marietje Schaake submitted written questions to the European Commission regarding tear gas exports to Bahrain. One question explores whether South Korea's tear gas exports to Bahrain are consistent with the human rights provisions in its Free Trade Agreement with the EU.

Does your subconscious mind have the ability to communicate with you? Apparently, it does. It uses various channels to do so, such as intuition. Whenever we seek our subconscious to find help or guidance, we may experience a sudden urge, a hunch, or a flash of inspiration to solve a problem or to carry out some task. This is intuition at work.
Or you may find the solution in a dream. Or an image could just pop into your mind. And you know intuitively that these are messages meant for you
The subconscious mind uses the language of symbolism to communicate. Metaphors, music, and images are the symbolic channels that the subconscious mind works with. You will find that a lot of symbolic images will be communicated to you through your dreams. Dreaming is essential because not only is it an outlet for your inner tensions to be released, but it is also the state of mind when information that has been imprinted by you during the day into the subconscious is processed.
Your dreams can communicate a lot to you. You can analyze the contents of your dream with the help of your conscious mind. And if you find the symbolism still unclear, you can simply ask your subconscious to provide the meaning. You are bound to get some insights from this kind of contemplation. Or you could be guided intuitively towards reading certain books or talking to people and get the answers you are seeking through these sources. Each of us has unique methods or channels of getting messages from our subconscious mind. Some of them are auditory, some visual, while others are just feelings.
Many people receive their messages through a combination of external events and internal voices. Some people can deliberately program their subconscious in order to seek solutions through dreams or sudden flashes of intuition. Meditation has been used since time immemorial to both communicate and get feedback from the subconscious. In fact, the more you are able to get into a meditative state of mind, the more you will awaken your intuition.
The most effective way to engender communication from your subconscious is to be sensitive and receptive to everything around you, and have faith in your feelings and your internal voices.
Many people think that a highly developed intuition has something to do with being spiritual or unique. But that is not so. According to studies made on the techniques of making decisions by managers, it was found that 80 percent of them used their intuition, particularly when the decisions they made were complex or involved other people.
Most businesspeople, when asked how they go about making decisions for their business, say that they use gut feelings. Gut feelings are nothing but intuition. Intuition, therefore, should be a part of our process of evaluation everyday.
If you see that you have difficulty in coming to decisions, or the ones that you make are not adequate enough, it is most likely that you are not utilizing your mind's intuitive powers to its fullest potential. This is when you need to listen to your subconscious mind more closely, and trust it. If you can accomplish this, you will find yourself making decisions that are not only more effective, but also make them faster.
Information is not processed the same way by the subconscious mind as it is by the conscious mind. And neither does it communicate the information like your conscious mind does. But, when you decide to trust it, you will find your subconscious mind processing information and communicating with you by providing intuitive ideas or solutions to your problems.

I am pretty sure that by now you are ready to turn the key and fire up the engine. Now take a deep breath and slowly walk away from the car. Yes, that's right. Walk away. This may sound counter intuitive because you're itching to get your LS-powered F-Body car on the road. However, the last thing you need is a half-cocked initial failure to set you back another month in your project. Clear your mind and relax. Then review the pre-start-up checklist and make sure everything has been done correctly.
This Tech Tip is From the Full Book, SWAP LS ENGINES INTO CAMAROS & FIREBIRDS: 1967-1981. For a comprehensive guide on this entire subject you can visit this link:
SHARE THIS ARTICLE: Please feel free to share this article on Facebook, in Forums, or with any Clubs you participate in. You can copy and paste this link to share: https://lsenginediy.com/camaro-firebird-ls-swap-initial-start-guide/
You have transformed a common stock F-Body into a highperformance muscle car, and as such, you need to carefully inspect and monitor the systems during first start-up. If you have installed a new crate engine with a warranty or a freshly rebuilt engine pulled from a junkyard, you need to pay particular attention to the engine when it is started for the first time. If you have installed a used engine, it has run before; it should do so reliably now and you do not have to break it in.
First, you need to be alert and sharp so you can identify problems. You need to be prepared to shut the engine down immediately if a problem is discovered; you want to avoid doing any damage to it.
Be sure that all of the fluids are topped off. Make sure your oil pan is filled to capacity, which is 5 or 6 quarts. I recommend that you use actual break-in oil that contains ZDDP (such as Joe Gibbs "driven oil"). But before you actually fire up the engine, you should pre-lube it, so oil adequately coats all internal surfaces, including rocker arms, lifters, and main bearings.
If you don't pre-lube the engine, you take a chance on damaging vital components because some areas may be starved of oil while the oil pump works up to full pressure. You invested a tremendous amount of time and money in your LS swap so you don't want to cut corners because it could result in a fatal mistake. Goodson sells an airpressurized pre-lube tank system (PN PL-40) used with an air compressor that sends oil through the engine, but it costs $200.
Another method is to build your own pre-luber and that's easily done. You can install a small-block Chevy oil pump in a 5-gallon plastic bucket and puncture it with an electric drill so that oil is drawn out of the bucket, routed through the engine, and returned to the bucket. Doing it this way ensures the engine is properly protected for first start-up.
Be sure to mount an oil pressure gauge on the engine so that you can verify oil pressure when you're circulating oil through the engine.
Safety should always be paramount with any automotive project and this one is no different. Make sure the transmission is in "Park" or "Neutral" (that is, not in gear) and that the emergency brake is set. You should also chock the wheels so the car cannot roll.
Systems Checks
This section prepares you for many of the common missteps folks make when rushing into starting their car for the first time and somehow fouling it up. Worse yet is when you've invited everyone over for the grand unveiling. The first celebratory beers are cracked, you hear a fizzle when you turn the key, and look like a dope when you ask everyone at the party to, "just hang on . . ."
The vehicle anti-theft system (VATS) is pretty standard on most GM vehicles. This means that the key is matched to the lock cylinder; the engine does not run if they are not harmonized. The easiest fix is to have the company that reprogramed your ECM and wiring harness edit this part out of the code. If you have full power to the car but no starter engagement, you just might have a VATS problem.
Park/Neutral or Clutch Switch
The lockout for the clutch or park/neutral switch is in the wire bundle of the LS-engine ECM. If the computer doesn't recognize that the clutch is depressed or that the car is in Park or Neutral, the computer does not send the signal to the starter of the vehicle. Double-check that this is installed properly or as a last resort (and I don't recommend this) you can ground the wire from the ECM to fool it into believing that the switch is depressed. This is clearly a safety item and should be wired to engage this feature whenever possible.
Clutch Engagement
The LS engine typically uses hydraulics to actuate the clutch. Most, if not all, of the setups around have a fully hydraulic clutch, meaning the system uses a master and a slave cylinder. If you haven't bled the system yet, you need to do it before you start the engine for the first time because the clutch's default position is "engaged." (See Chapter 7 to bleed your system effectively.)
An easy way to tell if the clutch has adequate engagement is to support the rear wheels securely on several jacks so they can spin freely. Have a helper push the clutch pedal down (disengaged) and try to turn the rear wheels with your hands. If they don't move, you have a problem.
Oil Pressure
You should have an oil pressure gauge on your car, no debate. If you don't, get one now! The single greatest thing that kills an engine faster than your quarter-mile times is oil starvation.
Be sure to prime the system first. General Motors recommends that you fill the engine with oil and disconnect the engine control system. Then, using an oil pressure gauge, crank the engine in 10-second bursts until oil pressure is achieved. You can remove the spark plugs to help relieve pressure in the system.
When you start the car for the first time, oil pressure should be instantaneous. If you do not get any reading on your gauge within 5 to 10 seconds, shut the engine down and start diagnosing the problem. A lack of oil pressure can be many things, such as major malfunction in the oil pump. Be sure that the oil pick-up tube is matched to the oil pan before you install it in the car so you don't have to take it apart later.
I've seen it more often than not that people get a little over zealous and start pounding on things unnecessarily. I once even got a little ahead of myself and forgot to put the lower power-steering hose on the build. I finally realized it after half a quart of fluid spilled all over the floor.
It helps to make a checklist of fluids that could possibly leak and simply make a mess or be a symptom of a much larger problem. Fuel leaks are the most common followed by leaks of radiator fluid, power steering fluid, brake fluid, transmission fluid, rearend housing fluids, and engine oil.
You need to verify that your fuel system provides between 58 to 60 psi. This can be checked via an external gauge or in my case, a fuel pressure gauge that is part of the gauge cluster in the dash. The easiest way to check this is to turn the key to the on-position, but do not engage the starter. You should hear the pump whine a little and this means it's turned on. Keep in mind that the pump is designed to only turn on for 5 seconds before shutting off in the key-on position.
If you do not have pressure or can't hear the pump prime, it needs to be corrected. Most often it is simply an easily corrected wiring issue. (This would be a good time to double-check your other wiring connections and make sure they are secure as well.)
When you are testing fuel pressure it's usually a good idea to bleed the system of air. If you have AN fittings, a small crack with a wrench sometimes gets most of the air pockets out. Otherwise, the engine may need to be cranked and run for a short time to get all the air out of the system. This is a great time to doublecheck for leaks while the system is under pressure; you should be able to spot them rather quickly.
Nut and Bolt the Car
I cannot stress this point enough; you need to double- and sometimes triple-check your work. I highly suggest that you put the car on jack stands or up in the air and "nut and bolt" the car. This means going through the car systematically to make sure that every nut and bolt is tight and ready for service. Nothing would stink more than to find a crucial loose bolt when you're 50 miles from home. Even Mark Stielow has said that he finds loose nuts and bolts from time to time after driving his hand-built rolling works of art.
Engine Break-In: First Firing and Test-Drive
Some people jump right in their newly built ride and take off. This may be fine for some, but I like to keep my stuff in one piece for as long as possible. The best option is to break in the engine on an engine dyno so you can control all aspects of the engine break-in. If that's not possible and you have to break in the engine in the car I have several recommendations.
If this is your first fuel-injected engine you may be pleasantly surprised at how easily and quickly these engines start up. They self-regulate instantly. I do not recommend using the gas pedal at all while starting the engine because it can confuse the throttle position sensor; let the engine and ECM do all the work.
The engine idles relatively fast at first, roughly 800 to 1,200 rpm until it goes into "closed-loop" operation, which means that the computer has recognized that the engine is ready for normal operation. This usually means that the engine has good oil pressure, the coolant is at a safe temperature, fuel pressure is good, and there are no obvious issues with the fuel/air mixture or any sensors malfunctioning. This is a good time to monitor your gauges to make sure that they are accurate and that they are reading safe numbers for each engine statistic. If all seems well, look for leaks such as in the high-pressure power-steering line. Many leaks don't show unless the car is running.
If no leaks are detected it is time for a test drive. There are many ways to truly break in an engine and drivetrain components. The following procedure has worked well for me for many years.
First, cycle the fuel pump a few times. It's entirely possible you have air in the system, so I suggest cracking the system open at the fuel rail to let the air bleed out.
After the start-up it's important to let the piston rings seat in the bores. Long gone are the days of letting the flat-tappet cams and lifters mate over time. LS engines have fixed that little problem for all of us. I recommend hitting the city streets; piston rings love a variable-RPM range during the break-in period. I also suggest keeping the RPM below 3,500 and no full throttle accelerations. Engines also hate long constant-RPM drives right away. Several engine builders have told me that this plan should be followed for the first 500 to 1,000 miles of the engine.
After the first drive, monitor the fluid levels and top off any that need it. Lunati often recommends changing the oil after 100 miles to get rid of the initial bearing wear, then at 500 miles, and then at 1,500. It has also been recommended that for LS engines, conventional oil should be used for the break-in process as it promotes piston ring and cylinder wall seating. After the 1,500-mile oil change, you should stick to the manufacturer's recommendations for oil change intervals.
The final step is to enjoy the car! Keep an eye on all the vitals and have fun. That's the name of the game!

- Repayment options including 30, 25, 20, 15, and 10-year terms;
- A variety of mortgage loan types including Conventional, FHA and VA;
- Low down payment options
- Complimentary pre-approval for qualifying applicants
Refinance to potentially lower your rate. Is your current interest rate higher than what is currently available in the market? We may be able to help you find a lower interest rate and reduce your monthly loan payments.
Contact our Dream Team For More Information Today!
* Only conventional loans are available in all 50 states. Other mortgage loan types have limited availability state to state. Contact 1-800-231-8855 to find out if the mortgage loan type you are looking for is available in your state. Mortgage refinancing is not available in the state of Texas, purchase only. We do not offer CEMA transactions in the state of New York.
Not all home loans are the same. The loan type you choose will affect how much you will need for a down payment, the total cost of your loan, and the house price range you can consider. Each loan is designed for different situations. Sometimes, only one loan type will fit your situation. If multiple options fit your situation, let's talk through different scenarios so you can see which type is the best offer for you.
Conventional Loan an option for buyers with good credit
A majority of mortgages are conventional loans. Conventional means that the loan is not part of a specific government program. Conventional loans can cost less than FHA loans but can be more difficult to get.
- Lower closing costs
- No private MI for 20% or more down payment
- 5% down payment option (can be gifted funds if credit score is 660 or higher)
- 6% seller contribution maximum allowed with 90% loan-to value (LTV) maximum
- 3% seller contribution allowed with LTV of 90% or higher
FHA Loan an option for buyers with limited funds
An FHA Loan is a mortgage that's insured by the Federal Housing Administration. For borrowers with lower credit scores or a smaller down payment, FHA loans can be a practical option. With down payment requirements as low as 3.5%, FHA loans are especially popular with first-time home buyers.
- Only a 3.5% down payment is required
- Non-occupying co-borrowers allowed
- Down payment can be a gift or loan to the borrower from an eligible source, such as a family member or a state housing agency program.
HomeReady® by Fannie Mae an option for modern buyers.
With HomeReady, cash for down-payment and closing costs can come from multiple sources, including gifts and grants—with no minimum personal funds required.
- Non-traditional credit allowed1
- Down payment options as low as 3%2
- Reduced mortgage insurance with the opportunity to cancel3
- Various forms of income accepted for down payments and closing costs—including gifts and grants4
VA Loan an option for active and retired military and their spouses.
To be eligible for a VA loan, you must have sufficient entitlement available and be a(n): veteran (single or married), active duty service member, National Guard member, reserve member, or surviving spouse of an eligible veteran (certain restrictions apply).
- 100% financing
- Seller of a home can pay closing costs: up to 2 discount points, the prepaids, and an additional 4% (toward the buyers discretion)
- No monthly mortgage insurance required
- Buyers can add up to $6,000 to their VA loan to have energy-efficient improvements installed
All loan programs, rates, terms, and conditions are subject to change at any time without notice. Restrictions apply. All loans subject to income verification, credit approval and property appraisal. Not a commitment to lend.
1 A minimum of three sources of nontraditional credit are required for HomeReady loans. If a borrower does not have a housing-related source of credit, a minimum 12 months' of reserves may be required. Restrictions apply. 2 Financing up to 97% loan-to-value (LTV) can use any fixed-rate term (10-, 15-, 20-, 30-year). Other loan program restrictions may apply. 3 A minimum of 20% established home equity required before borrower is eligible to terminate MI. Other restrictions apply. Standard MI coverage is required on HomeReady® loans with LTV ratios at or below 90 percent, and 25 percent coverage is required for LTV ratios exceeding 90 percent. 4 Restrictions apply. HomeReady® loans are serviced under the requirements for all other Fannie Mae non-government conventional mortgage loans. All eligibility criteria and requirements are subject to the formal terms and conditions of the Fannie Mae Selling Guide, located at https://www.fanniemae.com.

It would be fantastic if you could customise the default font, colour etc for a dashboard on a permanent basis.
Currently format font allows you to set the font for a current worksheet, cell, title, but doesn't set defaults for future worksheets or workbooks.
To explain further if you would like your titles to all be black, bold, verdana and 12 point it would automatically happen in all future worksheets or dashboards that you may build.

changes in the 1.70.525 patch
could someone document the changes that have been made in the most recent patch? Here are some that I think I have noticed:
1) the ring scroll has been changed. Previous scrolls offered me 7777 extra gold per quest and by report actually paid 7777 silver. Current scroll offers me 16299 gold per adventure
2) Last item I dropped in the cauldron on US server 1 paid .028 (I think), whereas previous items paid only .005-.006.
3) I think the items that are showing up on quests have a higher average gold value. It used to be that I could occasionally find a weapon (usually a single attribute weapon) that sold for over $1 million. Today I have seen two attribute robes and belts with values over $1.5 million, which I don't think I've ever seen before. These in the past typically were valued in the $350,000 range, with single attribute clothing maxing out at around $750,000.
Anyone else notice any differences? Especially those on other servers. Thus far US server 1 only has the ring scroll activated.
xp scroll has got better, potions cost less
Has someone mentioned yet that the number of activated scrolls also affects the toilet's aura?
The servers with 3 or more scrolls report that the effect is significant.
realy? well no US server has had 3 scrolls yet :P
currently the scroll bonus:
3 = aura + (aura)
6 = aura + 2*aura
9 = aura + 3*aura
example: aura 25 -> 3 rolls equal 50, 6 equal 75, 9 scolls 100
considered based on german critcs to be patched to lower (50% chance)
I think it is great as now the high lvl get a benefit from epic events after these scrolls and hopefully more final content is finished finally without waiting years ;)
so epics go 50 (narmal) 75 (3 scrolls) 100 (6 scrolls) 125 (9 scrolls)
or is it different for epics like 50, 100, 150, 200, <<<<< please say yes to that one
I speak from aura benefit - 1 aura level is worth 1 virtual player level, with the scrolls the virtual levels go up every 3 scrolls your current aura level as mentioned before.
as example:
your level 300
your aura 25 = you find up to lvl 325 (300 + 25)equip
with 3 scrolls up to lvl 350 (300 + 50 =[25 +25])
with 6 scrolls up to lvl 375 (300 + 75=[25+2*25])
with 9 scrolls up to lvl 400 (300 +100=[25+3*25])
i cant get my head around that haha, ill just wait untill it happens thats too complicated for me to understand
Right now, each aura level gives you a bonus of 3 for the items that drop or show up in the store (75 points for aura 25, for example). So if you are level 300 with an aura level 25, the items you see in the store are similar to those that a level 375 player would see with an aura level of 0.
What Ragorth is saying is that having 3 scrolls gives you 6 points per aura level, 6 scrolls 9 points per aura level, and 9 scrolls 12 points per aura level.
This should make a huge difference to upper level players who are leveling slowly. I used to buy new stuff every epic weekend, but recently I've been ignoring them. If it takes me 3 weeks to rise one level, 40 days to increase one level of aura, and epic weekends come once a month, on average the new stuff that I'm seeing is trivially better: I'm not blowing gold and 15 mushrooms upgrading an epic ring with 397 to stats to one with 401.
But with 3 scrolls, 4 points per month becomes 8, at 6 scrolls it becomes 12, and at 9 scrolls 16. That may make it worth upgrading equipment at least every few months.
ohh i get it now thanks

Newark Mayor Cory Booker rescues neighbor from New Jersey fire, reportedly burns hand
(AP) NEWARK, N.J. - Newark Mayor Cory Booker was treated and released from the hospital Thursday night after suffering from smoke inhalation while helping to rescue his neighbors from a fire.
Booker arrived home Thursday night to find the house next door on fire, according to spokeswoman Anne Torres. Booker and two of his security detail entered the home to help its residents escape, Torres said. He was taken to the hospital to be treated for smoke inhalation, and was released around midnight.
Cory Booker on schools, Facebook and his own BFF
Booker, a prolific social media user, tweeted late Thursday that he was fine and thanked his followers for their well-wishes.
He then posted a tweet early Friday morning that read:
Booker told The Star-Ledger he suffered second-degree burns on his hand.
Newark Fire Director Fateen Ziyad told the newspaper that Booker had recounted to him how he heard a woman yelling "I'm back here," from a back bedroom when the mayor rushed into the building but was held back by his security details. The mayor yelled at his security guards to release him, saying: "She is going to die, she is going to die," Ziyad told the newspaper, adding the mayor crossed through smoke and flames to grab the woman and carry her in his arms out of the building.
Torres said the mayor was exhausted from the ordeal and would hold a press briefing on Friday morning.
Details on the cause of the fire or the extent of the other people's injuries were not immediately available.
