I received a request for two of these so I figured I would put them all here in one place. The notes from any future videos will be added here as well.
Viruses as nano-technology necessitates an intelligence formidable enough to be capable of introducing advanced bio-technology well before it was common knowledge to us according to mainstream history, and moreover written language and its delivery systems are so complex as a macro-technology that it likewise necessitates the existence of an extremely advanced intelligence.
Jonathan discusses nano-tech viruses and how this intelligence used them to alter our physical biology (vaccines are a modern example), so let's explore that idea in the context of a macro-tech neurolinguistic virus of the mind that utilizes carrier waves to resonate into our awareness through a medium (paper, photos, film, digital screen), a contrived evolutionary process which in Sheldrake's morphic resonance terms alters our habits via a collective memory update within our self-sustaining etheric thought-form field of awareness (new age philosophies describe this energetic field of memory as the Akashic records).
In his DNA piano keys metaphor from the same recording, genetic code is the "tune" being played by our biological piano. On the etheric level perhaps DNA might be essentially viewed as compressed thought/memories. In other words the process of "morphic resonance" carries our genetic tune/code across generational DNA via habitual collective human memory, however obviously this tune/code (and thus our habits) is adaptable and may be altered through various avenues, both natural and artificial.
Presumably without intending to do so, and while ostensibly giving an alternative to darwinian evolution and modern philosophical science (like many others his role in this respect is to help merge eastern and western philosophies), Sheldrake explains how we have been successfully mind controlled, i.e. over the past 50 years our collective awareness has been altered through habitual consumption of the frequencies emanating out of the digital screen, a gradually accelerating immersion which makes it easier and easier for each successive generation of human beings to both navigate and incorporate digital screens into our field of awareness, insofar as in Sheldrake's model human behavioral knowledge is constantly being uploaded to the memory "cloud" as it were, positively increasing each successive generation's ability to adapt to the evolutionarily beneficial habit in question (given the standard modus operandi of this intelligence, 20 years from now this process will be portrayed to us in hindsight as a natural technological "evolution" of the human species).
All you have to do is look at children/teens today and see how their heads are stuck in their phones, or videos of babies/toddlers born in the last 5 years seamlessly navigating the screen. In other words Sheldrake's hypothesis is that memory is not stored in one section of the physical brain, rather it is a field of collective awareness that a human being's operating system resonantly taps or "tunes" into, hence the idea that each successive generation of humans will have a greater and greater aptitude for digital technology as that "memory" is born and thereafter refined in the subconscious collective habitual memory field of human awareness (Kubrick's star child eventually emerges from successive exposure to the black screen at different points in time, an evolutionary process guided by the "Firstborn" intelligence).
This concept is similar to the 100th monkey idea, where certain behaviors eventually reach a metaphorical tipping point such that they are known by an entire species despite lacking direct contact with each other, i.e. though they do not speak the same native language and have no physical contact, Americans, Europeans, Brazilians, Africans, Japanese, Chinese, Russians, etc. are all equally adapting their awareness and habits in response to the changes in the digital screen delivery system, specifically because as a species we all tap into the same etheric resonance or habitual genetic memory code/tune. By saturating previous generations with the television and later the computer screen, current generations are able to pull from that collective habitual memory and thus have a natural aptitude for operating the smart phone.
This effect is elucidated through this intelligence's planned evolution of the internet, which as a concept is a physical/metaphysical hybrid. In other words while it's an object that has been demonstrably manifested into physical reality, it's powered by the collective awareness/mind of all it's users, a literal medium that harnesses awareness, hence the medium of the screen and the resonance being transmitted between perceivers acts as a carrier for the digital re-wiring of the neuroplastic brain and our collective awareness in general.
Understand the metaphor at work during the switch from telephone dial-up internet of the late 90's to the post 2001 emergence of broadband internet, literally and not so subtly referred to as an "ethernet" connection, thus underscoring the fact that a mimicry of the Earth's natural subconscious etheric communication system was built into the structure of the internet (similar to the encoded switch from DVD's to Blu-rays discussed in relation to the yellow/white sun shift). This idea is developed further in the mid-2000s during the move from web 1.0 (static websites hosted centrally with little user input) to web 2.0 (an architecture of participation, or interactive applications that derive the majority of their content from users themselves), culminating with the release of the iPhone on June 29th, 2007, which induced collective awareness to interactively "touch the screen" as opposed to passively viewing it (creating dopamine release similar to drugs and fostering psychological addiction), evoking the touching of the "monolith" during various evolutionary leaps throughout Kubrick's odyssey.
This "morphic" attack on the resonant collective memory of human beings is the proverbial boiling frog scenario, provoking an energetic mutation via exposure to EMF/wi-fi and the digital screen, an epigenetic injection into collective human memory, a resonant energetic field that disconnects us from our bodies natural ability to interact with and be informed by the EARth's resonance, which likewise explains the world-wide push towards herding the majority of the population into mega "smart" cities saturated with this artificial energetic field. The system refers to wild animals as residing in their natural "habitat", or habit-at, or where the species engages in its habits, so in essence this developing cyber-physical system is an upgraded artificial habitat for human beings (with the added caveat that much like domesticated zoo animals, our habits themselves are artificially created).
It seems clear that the evolution of the internet/screen was timed to coincide with the change in the sun and the associated increase in etheric "bandwidth" being transmitted to each individual awareness incarnated on Earth right now, thus mitigating the impact of that information on the habitual knowledge/behavior of the majority of the collective mind, i.e. this intelligence is designing the cyber-physical grid to steer the habitual genetic code "tune" being played by our DNA piano keys away from the natural harmonic resonance that is attempting to reimpose itself during this age of transitions, which is attempting to expand our collective ability to "download" the information being transmitted by the sun.
In other words this intelligence created an artificial morphic field thought-form that our collective awareness mistakenly uses to inform its generational evolution (this thought-form is comprised of mainstream culture, education, history, news, politics, economics, psychology, etc). So while the process of morphic resonance described by Sheldrake mimics the truth of how our higher scale collective awareness communicates with its individual fractals in its natural habitat (nature), it conveniently neglects to mention the possibility that structured written language and its always evolving delivery systems are a neurolinguistic thought-form virus designed to replace and distort our natural subconscious communication system.
The subliminal thematics embedded and carried through the screen via movies/television/news similarly helps to shape collective awareness by feeding back into and sustaining/reinforcing this intelligence's artificial energetic field of collective human memory, an artificial field of information that shapes how our awareness views and co-creates the future, given its impact on our stream of consciousness and its memory/projection feedback loops within the moment to moment time stream of the now.
Understanding the interplay between evolutionary adaptation and etheric thought-form resonance, this intelligence understood that it would need to deal with the truth that would be unveiled to an initial minority of the beings incarnated on Earth during this planetary shift in resonance, because of course that information is likewise "uploaded" into collective human epigenetic memory, subconsciously impacting every human awareness on the planet. In short if left unchecked this resonance would spread uncontrollably, eventually dissolving the artificial cultural thought-form and by extension this intelligence's system of control. Stifling the spread of this resonance explains why they facilitated a controlled leak of some "truth" and mixed it with the distortions and toxicity of their disinformation agents, an especially obvious strategy given the fact that the internet and the evolution of its delivery system was a necessary precondition to the establishment of the ethernet/EMF/wi-fi "jamming" signal pumped out by cyber-physical ecosystem's smart meters and cell towers.
Moreover throughout its holly-wood spells this intelligence brazenly embeds the symbolic evolution of the neurolinguistic electronic thought-form virus and its according impact on the perception and habitual behavior of collective awareness. In terms of the evolution of the this artificial thought-form and its macro-technological delivery system, according to their script we have reached the stage of "Arrival".

Some of this material will be "old news" to a lot of you, but I'm going to flesh it out from start to finish to deliver a cohesive analysis all the way through to Arrival.
BTTF – Marty time travels into a photo booth, a movie theatre, and a drive in movie screen at different times during the trilogy, clearly playing on the monolith/screen themes embedded in Kubrick's 2001. What is not so much discussed is the fact that the portal/wormhole opened by the time machine merges with the screen itself (the viewer's eyes/awareness) at the end of both part 2 and 3. In other words it's not just the monolith/screen connection, it's also the idea that the time machine itself is merging with the viewer's eyes (alluding to time travel of the viewer's consciousness by extension). In the final scene of Part 3, Doc Brown tells Marty and Jennifer that the future is not set in stone, rather it is what they make it. The converted "time machine" train then proceeds to merge with the screen (eyes/awareness) in the final shot, a supremely tongue in cheek ending for a trilogy that embedded 9/11, Trump's presidency, and the white sun of 2015, i.e. major events in the known script of our collective future. When you think about it the BTTF trilogy essentially projected the audience's consciousness into the future without its knowledge, and of course this programming modus operandi was used to a lesser extent in all kinds of other media in order to support the coming 9/11 television screen magic trick.
Now obviously if Zemeckis and the magicians behind BTTF knew the script in 1985, then so too did the intelligence behind Stanley Kubrick's 2001: a space odyssey movie some 17 years earlier in 1968, which likewise explains Hilton Space Station 5 and the Millennium Hilton black monolith overlook hotel digital screen at ground zero, to say nothing of the coincidental "death" of Kubrick 666 days before January 1st, 2001. Zemeckis then proceeded to direct Contact, which again played on Dave Bowman's evolutionary consciousness/mental time travel when the main character's mind recorded 18 hours of static while her body dropped straight through the wormhole portal. Contact was coincidentally released in 1997, right in the heat of the artificial dot com bubble and the mainstreaming of telephone dial-up internet services (AOL etc.), which is when desktop computers, web 1.0, and the internet in general first "made contact" as it were with collective awareness.
The 9/11 television screen ritual 4 years later cemented this subliminal "contact" theme (monolith/screen/evolution), which is why on one level the two towers can represent the two hemispheres of the brain. The "towers" or hemispheres were "destroyed" and one tower or thought-form rose in the place, symbolizing the planned evolutionary leap or "re-wiring" of the neuroplastic brain deeper into this intelligence's artificial cultural thought-form. One world trade center is an inverted rainbow bridge anti-prism, evoking the idea of a bridge to this scripted mental "awakening" (meta-cortex and thomas anderson's passport expiring on 9/11/01, etc). On a side note the "golden gate" bridge in San Francisco could be a target of future magic tricks for similar symbolic reasons.
Zemeckis finishes the macro-trilogy with The Walk in October 2015, 30 years after the release of BTTF Part 1, where Marty tells Doc Brown that he will find out what it was all about in 30 years (discuss hilarious Zemeckis article here). During the last scene of The Walk, the towers turn from lead to gold, symbolizing completion of the 9/11 alchemical working. The wire used for Petit's walk across the twin towers is used to channel the lightning bolt in BTTF that strikes the clock tower (breaking time) as the residue of the DMC-12 (hour clock) "crashes" into the movie theatre or evolutionary screen, leaving a burning 9/11 under the dangling wire, resonating with the destruction of the twin towers (photo of Petit on the wire with a plane in the shot).
Further there is the idea of the tower card in the tarot, the struck tower being the 16th trump or Major Arcana. President Trump (tower) Hiram a'Biff was officially elected in the early morning hours of 11/9/16 or 9/11. Moreover as it relates to the evolution of the medium through which written language is transmitted, this further resonates with the idea of the destruction of the Tower of Babel and the "fall" of natural subconscious thought-form "telepathic" communication (pre-flood universal language) and the subsequent confusion of spoken language via the sigil alphabets and the written word. After The Walk's release in October 2015, Christopher Lloyd starred in The Boat Builder (November 2015), resonating with noah's ark and survival of the great flood. If one speaks a language well, we say that they are fluent or fluid, i.e. water. Lloyd also starred in 88 (January 2015), which involves a character with amnesia stuck between two timelines, a resonance further reinforced by Mary Steenburgen (Doc Brown's wife in BTTF Part 3), who had a part in A Walk In The Woods (September 2015), released about a month before Zemeckis' The Walk.
In this connection there is a link between BTTF Part 3 and Westworld. Doc Brown's last line serves as an epiphany for the audience regarding the nature of time and the future, delivered right before the train "time machine" opens a portal into the audience's awareness, flying into and merging with it. The audience then finds itself "back to the future" in Westworld, where a train drives into the park every time the time loop resets. It's interesting to note the popular phrase "train of thought" here in relation to feedback loops within our individual stream of consciousness.
The AI characters are us, insofar as our knowledge of our own reality is entirely artificial, and indeed we all have our "loops" of mindless soul-crushing routine within this intelligence's artificial system. In the opening scene, the first question asked is "have you ever questioned the nature of your reality", to which the AI responds "no". The second question is "tell us what you think of your world", to which it responds that it chooses to see the beauty in the world (this is its program). Directly after this the piano is fed its code and begins playing "black hole sun" by Soundgarden, which is immediately followed by a shot of the "train" of consciousness re-setting the loop, i.e a metaphorical representation of morphic resonance and the genetic "tune" fed into our DNA piano keys by that which orchestrates our perception of this reality, thus determining our habitual nature. While it's later revealed to be a designed plot by the programmer "god" of their world, the characters begin to question the nature of their looping reality and the tune itself when they begin to retain memories of their real history, again a metaphor for what is currently happening on Earth (which is why this intelligence always mixes in so much anti-human sentiment with the true metaphors).
Thandie Newton's AI character "awakens" to the truth of its reality in Westworld, and it just so happens that this actress also had roles in Half Of A Yellow Sun and 2012, thus resonating pretty hard with the concept that the sun shifted its frequency in the years leading up to and after 2012, providing all awareness incarnated on Earth with the opportunity to "reboot" its naturally designed operating system, a process leading us to finally question the nature of our reality (which explains why 2012 was disingenuously promoted as a failed-to-materialize "disaster" prediction by the movie itself and the media in general). But just as with Neo in the Matrix, understand the metaphor that Maeve's awakening was programmed into the larger script, hence the fake internet truth movement and the accompanying energetic neurolinguistic thought-form virus of the mind/psyche being assimilated through the screen and its ethernet/EMF/wi-fi network. And speaking of metaphors, while starring in 2012 with Thandie Newton, John Cusak also played the main character in Cell (2016), a movie in which a mind control frequency or "tune" is emitted through smart phones, turning everyone exposed to it into a walking dead zombie.
Returning to the idea of mental time travel in the context of 2012/Westworld, in addition to being involved in the Zemeckis BTTF/Contact/TheWalk time loop, Joseph Gordon-Levitt starred in Looper (September 2012), where the main character is a time traveler "looper" (memory/projection feedback loops) living in 2044, 30 years before time travel was invented (LOL). The younger version of the main character ends up killing his older version in order to protect a child with "telekinetic" abilities, a metaphor for our own ability to engage in consciousness/mental time travel in order to remove the influence of this intelligence's artificial thought form "loops" within our stream of consciousness and re-engage our natural subconscious communication system in the present moment. Incidentally Levitt was also in Inception, a movie which metaphorically explained how this intelligence manipulates our individual awareness to create the "loops" in the first place. If you are mindful of your thoughts you will eventually discover your own progress-destroying thought form (memory/projection) "loops" as it were.
Before going any further, notice how this analysis is forcing our awareness to aggregate many different time periods in both the real world and the fictional world, simultaneously flowing back and forth between the past, present, and imagined future. The simulated syncronicity analysis itself is a form of mental time travel, breaking linear time as it were, which of course brings us to Arrival.
On a side note Arrival was released in America on 11/11/16, two days after Trump was elected President, so the title in relation to "real" events is also playing on America and the scripted New Atlantis theme (and of course the likely fictitious character "Sir Francis Bacon" was supposedly involved in the creation of the English language).
In Arrival, the introduction of the alien Heptopods "universal language" unlocks the concept of time, allowing the perceiving awareness to experience time non-linearly, i.e. experience a form of consciousness time travel between the past, present, and future. In this connection the Heptopod's "written" language is read backwards and forwards simultaneously, and it is presented to the viewer as an acoustic thought-form or "logo-gram", i.e. a heptopod-ink hieroglyph disintegrates shortly after its projection, just as a projected thought-form "telepathic" image does coming from your awareness when directed at another sentient being. As a dimensional element of this reality time dissolves or reshapes itself (like any other element does) as you "emit" your awareness into the spontaneous present moment within your individual stream of consciousness. In other words knowledge of the Earth's "telepathic" and "universal" subconscious communication system allows the frequency of your awareness to gradually "tune" itself into the higher scalar "mind" that originally created this since-hijacked language system (and obviously the resonance of this thought-form supersedes the artificial thought-form created by this intelligence).
It is said that the "ships" themselves produce no observable energy or environmental footprint, due to the fact that the aforementioned tuning process encourages a return to stillness, where your awareness is resonating with the flow of spontaneous life such that it is neither attracting nor repelling, rather it's as if you are encased in a neutral energetic bubble. Combining an understanding of this subconscious communication or "universal language" with the ability to "time travel" within the memory/projection thought-form magnetic field essentially dissolves time as a linear, structured concept, hence the metaphorical "arrival" of universal language and the dissolution of the linear perception of time embedded in the film.
From the perspective of the artificial thought-form that this intelligence uses to shape the habits of collective human awareness, "arrival" is a metaphor for the evolution of the monolith/screen and its association with the macro-technological delivery systems used to "upgrade" the neurolingistic thought-form virus of the etheric sigils which comprise structured written language, a concept first introduced into our minds by Kubrick in 2001: A Spacy Odyssey. This is why the structure of the "alien" ships in Arrival is a symbolic depiction of the merger between the black monolith screen and the human eye (which foretells the birth or arrival of augmented reality), to say nothing of the fact that human intelligence requires the help of computers and its digital screens to initially decode the Heptopod's universal language.
In the context of Arrival/Westworld, Paterson seems to be an intentionally designed companion piece. Much like the depiction of the looping AI's in Westworld, Paterson's character literally depicts the looping routine of an average week in the life of an awareness confined to the limitations of this intelligence's artificially scarce economic system. In the context of Arrival, Paterson is a writer/poet, and his entire existence is organized around the clock on his wrist and his interaction with written language (Paterson is played by Adam Driver, the latest "Sith lord"). Each morning Paterson wakes up and puts on his watch before engaging in his monotonous routine as a bus driver: bowl of cereal, walk to work, lunch with his poetry, walk home from work, dinner, take the dog for a walk to the bar for a beer, then sleep before doing it all over again (as an aside the dog revolts from being included in this routine by knocking Paterson's mailbox off-center every day, later destroying his poetry notebook). Now the really interesting part of Paterson is the character's girlfriend, who is free from all routine and has an endless amount of time in the moment to express her spontaneous creativity, whether its painting, sewing, baking cupcakes, or learning the guitar. Free from the constructs of habitual routine and the artificial construct of linear time, it is she who creates the items in the following screen shots:
In other words her resonant state of mind embeds the "universal language" of the heptopods from Arrival. Throughout the film it's as if these images are taunting Paterson (and us) to "evolve".
Trying to explain all of this: the question is why are they conditioning the human race to assimilate increasingly invasive forms of the digital screen into our awareness? In other words who benefits? One theory would surround the idea of reincarnation. All the religions of the east have this idea as a central tenant of their philosophies. It's really only in the modern western churches of "christianity" that this has been removed from the realms of possibility. So assuming that reincarnation is real and people are duped into recycling back through this system over and over again (much like it is depicted in Westworld), it doesn't seem like too much of stretch to imagine that this intelligence would have taught its bloodline managers how to reincarnate with all their memories of past lives intact. Obviously this would be a significant advantage over the rest of the human beings incarnated here, and it also might likewise explain why the "elites" inter-breed within the same bloodlines over the centuries and give birth on ritualistic dates, as one might imagine that it would make this process easier.
Hindus burn the body right away to shorten the period between reincarnations because it is a fundamental tenant of their karmic belief system, as opposed to the west, where bodies are typically buried (interestingly under granite stones which conduct energy), thus lengthening the period. Contrast this with the Egyptian mummies, which attempted to prevent reincarnation altogether by preserving the body indefinitely and allowing for prolonged existence in the Duat (perhaps this was a gift given to these pharaohs or slave masters just as its given today, hence the Egyptian origin of freemasonry and the occult in general). In other words they were allowed to escape the progressively soul-destroying reincarnation cycle for their service, assuming this is what is happening.
This would potentially explain the transhumanist philosophies and general push towards convincing us that this reality is a computer simulation, i.e. if they are already incarnating here over and over with memories in tact, they might as well just keep the same body indefinitely, which obviously is not possible with the current human body that is naturally designed to eventually cease functioning. Alternatively we could be in a situation where the intelligence that orchestrates our perception of this reality is attempting to permanently incarnate into this reality, and for whatever reason it needs to "terraform" the human body before doing so.
Bringing things full circle, Sheldrake postulated the idea that some past-life "memories" are possibly being "downloaded" from the morphic field, not necessarily actual memories that the newly incarnated being had themselves in a past life.
Simulacra and Simunicity
Language – Prince EA – VOW-EL'S – Music/Resonance – Sigils – Hieroglyphs – Screen
The "fall" of thought-form "telepathic" communication (pre-flood universal language) into matter and the confusion of languages, or the post Tower of Babel-ing.
The transition into written language started with symbolic pictograms, as seen in Cuneiform or Egyptian Hieroglyphs. These languages do not contain vowels. As the story goes Prince EA was a rebellious genetic engineer who tried to secretly initiate humans into universal spiritual wisdom. EA is symbolized as the "serpent" or "prince of EArth", i.e. similar to Lucifer/Prometheus, EA represents the forbidden knowledge stolen from the Gods and given to man. In Old English there is reverse of EA, or AE æ where æsc means "ash tree", or the phoenix rising from the ashes of the tree of life/world tree, left brain vs right brain, etc.
Recall that there are no genes for reading and writing, so in a sense Prince EA did genetically engineer the ability to read and write into humans by later adding the VOWELS (EA) to language so that they could resonate IN KEY (ENKI), or function as an updated form of harmonic hypnosis in this intelligence's domestication strategy, i.e. rolling out and spreading English as the language of commerce a few hundred years before the seasonal changes on the cosmic scale began to impact our collective awareness, an attempt to lock us out of "telepathic" image-centered communication (knowing this memory would resurface at this time, hence the prevalence of the screen).
The remaining VOW to EL (semetic word for god) are I.O.U, as in we are in debt to the gods of writing. For the Egyptians writing was invented by Thoth (thought), and the hieroglyphic script was referred to as "mdju netjer" ("words of the gods"). The word hieroglyph comes from the Greek hieros (sacred) plus glypho (inscriptions), or sacred inscriptions. These consonants are sigils resonating in a fractal acoustic. Con-Son-Ants (Con the son of man with a form of language that produces an easily controllable hive mind). This is why this intelligence rolled out and spread the English alphabet version of the sigils as the language of commerce a few hundred years before the seasonal changes on the cosmic scale began to impact our collective awareness, an attempt to lock us out of "telepathic" visual communication. 42 and the rainbow.
In other words the development of written language is analogous to a neuro-linguistic software technology designed to alter the human operating system. This idea is encapsulated more literally in John 1: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God". In standard gematria G-O-D (7+15+4) = 26, as in the 26 letter alphabet. Moreover we are told that the invention of the printing press and mass dissemination of the King James Bible led Europe out of the "Dark Ages", or into the light as it were. A similar account can be seen in the Freemasons calendar with the concept of Anno Lucis ("The year of light"). As In the concept of the medium is the message, the neuro-linguistic software technology is in the process of being upgraded, infused with a neuro-electronic language system that will merge a smart grid lattice with the brain, or a thousand digital synapses firing in the collective mind (Bush's thousand points of light speech). This is why Thomas Anderson worked at Meta-cortex (transcending the physical brain) and his passport expired on 9/11/01 (this mega television ritual represented the creation of the digital synapse, the monolith/2001 a space odyssey, 666 carbon, etc.). Look at the "ground zero" memorial and compare it to computer chips. Prince EA and the Death of Prince (777-9311, 2-88 on the charts, Back to the Future, Lord of the Rings).
Hollywood emerged out of this context as a way to manipulate our natural ability to visualize within the memory/projection thought-form magnetic field feedback loops. The wielders of the holly wood wand created a spell, in literal, subtle, and subliminal ways – the actors or STARS are referred to as THE CAST and the screenwriter writes the SCRIPT by SPELLING the letters together. Films end with CREDITS because they infuse the system with your mental energy, i.e. it is a net gain to the entities involved regardless of how many units of CURRENCY were used to cast the spell. Later the movies can be viewed on CHANNELS or Blu-RAYS.
The interaction between artificial culture and the subtle layers of ancient mythology infused into the films subconsciously influences our creation of reality, in a sense visualizing our general disposition for us without us consciously being aware of it, mostly a subliminal form of communication due to the fact that we are purposely made ignorant of what is actually taking place. The emergence of CGI has taken this process to the next level, capturing our imagination in ways that are otherwise impossible in physical reality, but even on a base level just think of how human beings are portrayed and so easily killed without remorse. The creation of a film is a fractalized version of the creation of this intelligence's artificial system of civilization. It is difficult for most to fathom the level of planning that takes place on this higher scale, let alone the more simple concept that the casting departments are purposely selecting actors to channel multi-role archetypes.
We all have personal syncs, where visualizing an idea or concept in the mind is later somehow reflected in physical reality. Carl Jung's example is where a patient was describing a beetle and one appeared in front of him at the same time. Whether or not this story is true (given the dubiously convenient scarab/emerald tablet resonance), this is simply the nature of how our awareness interacts with this reality. So while it is probably a stretch to imply that this process is fully controlled at every moment by some form of nefarious intelligence, interacting or tapping into that holly-wood stream produces personal syncs that are necessarily controlled by the intelligence which constructed hollywood in the first place, and of course the movies are only a small part of it (what we learn in school, read in the news, see on the television, what our parents/grandparents tell us, etc.). This artificial cultural stream of consciousness latches itself onto the collective psyche like a barnacle in order to facilitate simulated syncronicity. So its not so much that the effect of "syncronicity" you experience was intentionally orchestrated by this intelligence down to the nano-second, it is more so that you are tapping into a thought-form magnetic field which this intelligence created to subsume and replace our natural interaction with reality.
You are tapping into a thought-form, and thus become vulnerable to everything associated with that thought-form, the same as a christian would become vulnerable to everything believed in association with that system of thought. In a sense you are tapping into a self-contained etheric ecosystem, which has been described as a morphic field in genetic memory terms, but think of this like a self-sustaining thought-form existing independently of any one individual awareness connected to it, which subjects any awareness that does tap into it to all of the energy/thoughts/lore accumulated in that thought-form.
For example someone meditating to a mantra or pre-existing system is essentially tapping into the collective resonance of everyone that has ever meditated to those same mantras/systems. For the same reason a born-again christian immediately becomes susceptible to the influence of demons, which likewise explains why the name "jesus christ" is able to dispel them when under their attack. This is the same reason professional sports teams are so charged with energy, there is a morphic residue of all awareness that has ever tapped into and given its energy to it, and the players literally feed off that energy, it is palpable. An advertisement is similar – the corporate logos and tag lines are resonators, which imprint on your mind and subliminally influence your beliefs. The law or government as corporate golems are another example, beginning as a single thought which later become sufficiently charged with collective awareness. This is why corporate logos are so heavily reliant on ancient mythology and celestial imagery, going back to the influence of hieroglyphs.
The river of time, or STREAM of consciousness; when you incarnate into this reality, your awareness jumps into the metaphorical stream of time; if the flow of the "river" of time were to change as a consequence of a change in the structure of the reality, there would a consequent change in your perception of the flow of that river, i.e. you might perceive the current to flow faster against your body, or in this case your mind's perception of the passage of time.
Counter-argument (age): Flow has increased for all perceivers, so just like in the prior speed, the "old" will still be able to perceive time in a faster way than the young, but this does not explain away the fact that the stream has changed.
Time is an element, as in similar to an element on the periodic table (period-time). Scale of perception determines the relativity of time – a being with a relatively short life span to us, like a hummingbird's days, seems very short, however to it those few days will be perceived as a lifetime. This is why Jonathan gave the cancer metaphor – why would god let something like this happen? Well on the scale of the intelligence that would be referred to as God, to it our lifespans and even the entire history of human civilization itself is a very short period of time. So to us "healing" or returning to homeostasis would seem like a long drawn out process, just as the same process would seem to the awareness of the cells in your body dealing with cancer over a period of time that seems very short to your own awareness.
time – emit
Emit currency into circulation, a discharge or release. Time is "emitted" in both directions from your stream of consciousness interacting with physical reality. So imagine those streams contain images backwards and forwards. Time travel would necessarily be the ability to "unstick" consciousness from the present moment. We have the ability to do this at any time into the past or future through memory and imagination, however it might be possible to achieve this literally, i.e. sending an individual's conscious awareness into the past or future of its linear timeline existence (LOST), but this would create a time loop, which is why newer science fiction focuses on this theme.
Cosmic seasons of the sun – while probably some truth in the general concept re: the white sun, yuga cycles are not correct, meaning that "information" is a way to make you believe that there is some sort of caste of awareness that your own awareness is confined to depending on which cycle is present, and moreover makes you believe that you are dependent on some sort of "external" wave of cosmic energy coming to the planet to shift your awareness

THE APERTURE IS THE OPENING THROUGH WHICH LIGHT TRAVELS, SO SET METAPHORICALLY "KILLS" THE LIMITS TO HUMAN SIGHT IN PHYSICAL REALITY AS DESIGNED BY CREATION
They Hide We Seek: Imagine the analytics at Google's disposal. How many searches are conducted via Google on a daily basis? What do you think they could do with that information? For one, they could compile a list of the most commonly misspelled names/brands, misquoted movie quotes, etc. If they wanted to fuck with us, they could take these most common mistakes and start making claims that these things have been CHANGED. It's much more likely to me that the Mandela Effect is truly a psychological operation (mind fuckery) rather than a physical conspiracy to slightly change the names of cereals and children's books and cliche movie quotes. Do you really think it would be feasible to change, for example, the spelling of 'Townshend' on every Who LP ever pressed? I have a number in my possession, and every one spells his name with an 'h'.
Note – Some would argue that the Mandela Effect is caused by a cosmic hacker of sorts that has figured out how to alter the holographic code/refresh rate to the point of being able to manipulate matter. This is a decent thought-experiment but I think there is a simpler and more obvious explanation.
Banazir: My take on the Mandela effect is that everything always was as it appears now but all along through means unbeknownst to us all we were somehow subliminally fed these subtle little changes right from the get go. Indeed a psyop timed to coincide with the so called flat earth resurgence.
K.R.: You see, the likely scenario is that everyone integrated these misspellings into their own vocabulary and committed typo after typo further imprinting it into our brains as factual and giving us a false sense of having some type of photographic memory that tells "the truth."
Mandela Inception, or subliminal interference with pre-existing memories via subsequent "incorrect" references (Banazir's theory). The Loftus research on the malleability of memories explains how this tactic would be used in combination with data on popular mis-spellings (THWS, dilemna-dilemma) and syllabic ambiguities (sex in/and the city, life was/is like a box of chocolates, interview with a/the vampire, depend(s), etc.). Some of these effects are obviously false and easily disproven if your memory of them has not been interfered with (field of dreams), but if you only have a loose "pop culture reference" memory of them (including maps and bible verses), it is easy to believe that you "know" what something was, because your awareness creates a "photographic" or "visual" memory of the newer information (K.R.)
sex n' the city
life s' like a box of chocolates
Setting up the Mandela Effect psychological operation, specifically the dialectic (for a loose comparative example, the same process was used to set up the prefabricated religion vs atheism talking points).
One side is the skeptic/rational appeal to simple confabulation (bad memory), while the other side contains the narratives surrounding ideas of alternate reality/universes colliding/quantum jumping. Within this dialectic, a majority of the "effects" were artificially created so that they could be easily disproven, such that a portion of the people exposed to this psyop will dismiss the concept as simply poor memory, by association dismissing the concept of "conspiracy theories" in general (standard tactic). A much smaller portion of the "effects" will be real (dilemna/dilemma), and these will be used to create a segment of "true believers" who evangelize the concept in opposition to the bad-memory skeptics, and who likewise popularize all of the fabricated "effects" as the disinformation networks "lead the witness" as it were. In other words while the true believers are correct in pointing out that the skeptics "don't get it", what they don't understand is that the skeptics are simultaneously correct in pointing out that the true believers have been similarly hypnotized into false memories. (returning to the religion analogy, there are a minority of real teachings in the Bible which fuel the true believers, while there is a majority of bad information that fuels the skeptics).
Elizabeth Loftus and the Misinformation Effect (you can't make this stuff up). Speculative hypothesis: this research on memory and the misinformation effect was used to carefully design "effects" that best exploited the fabricated dichotomy between skeptics and true believers (data collection of common spelling errors, combined with syllabic similarity). It is regression hypnosis via pop culture, i.e. subconscious INCEPTION. This intelligence provides residual evidence of the incepted memories in order to fuel the "incorrect" memories of the true believers, which is why there are digital copies (easily manipulated/planted) of the "original" and "correct" memory in old newspapers/magazines (plus photoshop like Depend(s), JCPenny, and Fruit Loops), thus proving to the true believers that their awareness' has shifted from a different universe /timeline (even though this is not proof of that in the first place, as logically if this transpired there would be no physical evidence of the "correct" memory that you brought with you into this new reality – to me this is the smoking gun which indicates a psyop is taking place).
Note: skeptics will point to the Loftus research as proof that your memory cannot be trusted, but this is a red herring. This intelligence has understood the human mind from the beginning, but it must give the illusion of a linear progress in discovery to support the narrative that "we" created this system of civilization, as a part of our "natural" evolution in sophistication.
Loftus conducted a study designed to investigate whether eyewitness memory could be altered by information supplied to the witness after an event, which later produced the misinformation effect hypothesis, where a person's recall of episodic memories becomes less accurate because of post-event information, i.e. our recall of the majority of these Mandela Effects is not accurate due to the planned distribution of purposely incorrect post-memory information.
The misinformation effect is a prime example of retroactive interference, which occurs when information presented later interferes with the ability to retain previously encoded information. The new information that a person receives works backward in time to distort memory of the original event, i.e. this is the Mandela Effect, it is retroactive interference with memories that was purposely designed to exploit the misinformation effect. For example, it was always "No, I am your father", but the subsequent "Luke" misinformation in pop culture had the effect of retroactively interfering with a majority of people's memory of the original quote. This retroactive interference is then used to convince people that they are from a different timeline. Moreover I have seen a physical copy of The Story of Star Wars (1977) on which C3P0 has a silver lower right leg. In Revenge of the Sith, C3P0 is clearly still all-gold, so obviously this memory retroactively interfered with the character's depiction in the original low-def trilogy. In the context of the Mandela Effect narrative, the disinformation networks are creating their own glitches.
Recent research points to certain areas of the brain that are especially active when false memories are retrieved. In one study, participants studied photos while experimenters monitored participants' brain activity using an FMRI. Later, in a misinformation phase, participants viewed sentences describing the studied photographs, some of which contained information conflicting with what was originally depicted in the photographs. The participants returned one day later for a surprise memory recognition test, and some reported information that had been presented in the later verbal misinformation but not in the original photographs (they hide we seek's point about the spelling data, K.R.'s point about the incorrect words creating a visual memory).
This is not about trusting/not trusting your own memories, this is about considering the possibility that your memories have been purposely targeted in a psychological operation via retroactive interference exploiting the misinformation effect. In other words, this is subconscious INCEPTION.
The misinformation effect has been examined in individuals with varying imagery abilities. Participants viewed a filmed event followed by descriptive statements of the events in a traditional three-stage misinformation paradigm. Participants with higher imagery abilities were more susceptible to the misinformation effect than those with lower abilities. The psychologists argued that participants with higher imagery abilities were more likely to form vivid images of the misleading information at encoding or at retrieval, therefore increasing susceptibility. In other words those with borderline photographic memories are more likely to be affected by the misinformation effect.
The most difficult to explain Mandela Effects are the supposed physical changes to maps, bible verses, car logos, berenstein bears books, i.e. all things with physical objects that subsequent written/audio/video misinformation could produce a "wrong" memory of. Let's just say that there is no telling what an organized subliminal misinformation campaign could achieve (on the etheric level).

The first of the month just rolled around, and if you scrambled to get your rent payment together, you probably weren't alone.
We've all been there.
But after years of listening to our readers — and okay, fine, our parents — we've finally learned a few tricks for adulting a little less painfully.
Here are nine things you've probably done to pay the rent… and what you should do instead.
1. Rolling Quarters
Step 1: Check the couch cushions. Step 2: Check the car. Step 3: Start rolling.
Sure, quarters are great for laundry. But when it comes to rent, there's gotta be a better way.
What to Do Instead: Sign up for an Aspiration bank account.
This online-only bank has no fees — and no minimum balance.
Last year, Money magazine named Aspiration's checking account one of "the best in America." Probably because it doesn't charge ATM fees and offers an interest rate nearly 100 times that of a regular checking account.
2. Selling Plasma
This is one thing I haven't done before. But I know plenty of people who have — and TBH, it sounded kind of awful.
Regardless, selling plasma is an easy way to earn money and actually helps people who need it!
But if you're scared of needles, consider trying the solution below.
What to Do Instead: Take a few surveys at Swagbucks.
Yes, it's almost as boring as giving plasma, but you don't even have to leave your house. You can even do it while watching TV on your couch. While riding your exercise bike. While sitting on the train.
Oh, and how could I forget? Zero needles are required.
3. Calling Your Parents
If you haven't called your parents for rent money, you've probably called them for a loan for textbooks. Or maybe you've just hit up your crew.
Whatever the reason, leaning on friends and family for loans is never a smart strategy.
What to Do Instead: Call 211.
This free hotline is a United Way service — and here to serve you 24/7.
The trained professionals on the other end can tell you about programs offering rental assistance, subsidized housing and housing vouchers. If you're in real dire straits, they can also inform you about emergency shelters for individuals and families.
Calls are free and confidential — and available in every language.
4. Mowing Your Neighbors' Lawns
Or shoveling their driveways. Or whatever the job of choice is in your neck of the woods. When you need rent money, knocking on doors and asking for work isn't uncommon.
But what happens if it's not the right season, or none of your neighbors are around?
You need a more flexible side gig.
What to Do Instead: Drive with Lyft.
Unlike mowing lawns, driving with Lyft is all on your own time. Got a few hours to spare? Drive around and make some money. In the middle of finals? Leave the car parked.
Since you can work as much or as little as you like, your earning potential is pretty much unlimited. When rent is coming up, you can work more; once it's paid, you can relax.
And the best part? You won't be obligated to sit with your elderly neighbor for two hours when she invites you in for "just a cup" of lemonade.
5. Throwing a Garage Sale
Akin to bringing your clothes to the consignment store, the need for rent money can sometimes lead to a sudden urge to sell all your stuff.
But let's be real for a second: Garage sales are the pits.
Sticking on tiny price tags, arranging everything just-so and haggling with early-bird garage sale fanatics?
Nobody wants to do that.
What to Do Instead: Use Decluttr and letgo to sell your stuff.
Between these two apps, you'll be able to sell all your extraneous goods, with minimal human interaction.
Decluttr buys your old CDs, DVDs, Blu-rays and video games, plus hardware like cell phones, tablets, game consoles and iPods. Enter PENNY10 at checkout to get an extra 10% for your trade-ins!
And for everything else, use letgo. This intuitive app lets you snap a photo and upload your unwanted item in less than 30 seconds.
6. Searching Through Spare Purses
One of the first places I look when I need to scrounge up rent money? All my extra purses and bags — even my coats.
My hope is I'll have brilliantly (or simply forgetfully) left a $20 bill in one of the pockets. Sometimes I luck out, but most of the time I don't.
What to Do Instead: Start an emergency fund with Stash.
This innovative program saves your money without you having to lift a finger. Simply link it to your checking account and ask the app to automatically debit your account for a few bucks each week. Stash will help you invest your savings into dozens of different options. Plus, they give you a free $5 just for signing up.
Using this set-it-and-forget-it strategy, I've put more than two months' rent into an emergency fund.
Then, the next time you're desperate for rent money, you'll hopefully already have it stashed away!
7. Applying to Random Craigslist Gigs
Craigslist has quite the array of odd jobs — and I mean odd.
When you're in a bind, it can be tempting to browse around and apply to dozens of different gigs — everything from training cats to posing for "professional" photographers.
Don't do that.
What to Do Instead: Apply for a Modest Needs grant.
This well-respected nonprofit organization supports low-income workers, mainly through its "Self-Sufficiency Grants."
These grants "assist individuals and families who, because they are working and live just above the poverty level, are ineligible for most types of conventional social assistance but who, all the same, are living one or two lost paychecks away from the kind of financial catastrophe that eventually leads to homelessness."
So if you're working and in need, reach out and see if this organization can help you.
8. Hustling Your Old Textbooks
Trying to get your little brother to buy your old chemistry textbook is pointless; it'll be completely outdated by the time he's in college.
And besides, wouldn't you feel bad for passing on the ridiculous cost of textbooks to your own flesh and blood? (You wouldn't? Heartless!)
What to Do Instead: Sell your textbooks on Bookscouter.
Just type in your book's ISBN (the number near the barcode), and Bookscouter will search dozens of book buyback companies to find the best price.
When you see an offer you like, click "Sell Now," and you'll be redirected to the buyer's website.
With the prices of textbooks these days, you'll have your rent money before you know it.
9. Taking Your Clothes to the Consignment Store
You need money, so in a rapid flurry, you clean out your closet and bring a garbage bag of items to the consignment store. They paw through everything… and buy one thing.
ONE THING? Some of your pieces still had the tags on them!
Ugh. Sounds like it's time to ditch those consignment store divas and turn to the good ol' internet.
What to Do Instead: Sell your clothes on Tradesy.
The online platform offers clothing categories including clothing, bags, shoes, accessories — even weddings.
In fact, one of our contributors wrote about Tradesy — and how the average seller can make $1,000 year on the consignment platform.
All you have to do is snap a photo and propose a price. If it's accepted, you'll use a free box and label to ship it off.
Can't find anything you want to sell? Read our story on capsule wardrobes. I guarantee you will be inspired!
All you have to do is snap a photo and write a quick description, and your wares will be available to the world. Post enough items, and you'll soon have rent — or at least utilities — covered.
Your Turn: What's the craziest way you've ever paid rent?

Helping English-Learners End the School Year Strong
This is an adapted excerpt from the authors' new book, The ELL Teacher's Toolbox: Hundreds Of Practical Ideas To Support Your Students, which comes out this month.
Teachers and students may feel like they are limping across the finish line at the end of the school year. During the last quarter, when testing is finished and spring is in the air, teachers and students can be tempted to go on cruise control. However, this attitude can result in a loss of valuable learning and practice time, especially for English-language learners who benefit from as many language-learning opportunities as possible.
While the last several weeks definitely present challenges, they also provide opportunities for students to consider what it means to "finish strong," to set goals and plans to make them happen, and to experience success.
Here are some ideas for encouraging English-learners to finish strong and boost their learning during the last few months—and final days—of school.
Activities for the Last Two Months of School
'Finishing Strong' Goal-Setting Activity
We can teach English-learners the concept of a strong finish by using simple sports metaphors to illustrate pushing through fatigue in order to "play" their best until the end of the school year. Runners don't slow down at the end of a race. Basketball teams don't stop shooting the ball in the last quarter. However, understanding this concept is easier than actually applying it. One of the ways we help students do so is through a goal-setting activity.
Ask students to think about what they would like to accomplish before the end of the year. This might be a goal related to learning English, academic skills, or behavior. We pass out goal sheets and work with students to complete them. Then, every Friday for the last several weeks of school, we give students time to reflect on their progress and fill out a weekly check-in chart. The chart prompts them to think about what changes they might need to make the next week to stay on track.
As teachers, we also complete the weekly check-in for our own goals. Students love holding us accountable.
Visual Displays of Learning
The final quarter of the school year is a great time to ask English-learners to reflect on the progress they've made throughout the year. In our experience, asking them to create visual displays of their learning makes this process even more creative and engaging.
Here are a few ways for students to visually represent what they've learned:
● Divide students into groups, assign each one a topic the class has studied, and have students create posters containing the five most important things they learned about a given topic, along with an image to represent each one.
● Have students individually draw a picture or create a storyboard of their best moment in class during the year. They can use it as a springboard for writing about the experience.
● Have students create a map or timeline of the school year on a large sheet of paper, including important learning topics, memorable activities, school events, field trips, and holidays.
● Have students design a visual representation of their reading journey, such as a chart, a timeline, a map, or a bookshelf, which contains the titles of the books they've read independently and as a class.
Activities for the Last Two Days of School
Advice for Future Students
During the last week of school, we often ask students to reflect on the class, including the routines, topics of study, learning strategies, and projects, and think about what would be helpful information to share with new students the following year. Students can work in small groups to brainstorm ideas and can then choose from a menu of options, such as writing a letter to new students, making a list of advice for how to be successful, or creating a handbook for the class.
The authors will share "Instructional Strategies for an 'ELL Teacher's Toolbox'" in a Facebook Live video on Wednesday, April 18 at 6:30 p.m. EST. Listen in on Education Week Teacher's Facebook page.
Teachers can share these projects with incoming students during the first week of the new school year—and we've found that students really pay attention to what their peers have to say.
Class and Teacher Evaluations
Asking English-learners to evaluate the class can offer valuable feedback for teachers while prompting students to consider their own learning strengths and challenges. Over the years, we have given students anonymous surveys about our class and our teaching, which give students a chance to offer honest feedback.
Teachers can consider which areas they'd like feedback on and then work backwards to design the questions. For example, if we want feedback on our relationship-building efforts, we might include the following fill-in-the-blank question on a survey: "My teacher cares about what is happening in my life ___ (a lot, some, a little, not at all). If we are interested in how students felt about the level of challenge in our class, we might ask: "The work in this class was ___(too hard, just right, too easy)."
Some of the questions can also be designed to prompt students' reflection on their learning processes, such as "Which activities helped you learn English the most this year and why?" or "What could you do differently or better to help yourself in this class?"
What Not to Do
It's difficult for students to finish strong when their learning environment doesn't reflect a spirit of strength. Don't take work off the walls early and pack all your books away when you are expecting students to engage. Nothing says "School's out!" like bare walls and bookshelves.
Don't do a countdown of the number of days left in the school year on your board. For some of our students, the summer doesn't represent a carefree time of rest and rejuvenation. They may already be experiencing feelings of anxiety, which can be heightened by the constant reminder of how the school year is quickly coming to an end. We also want students to know that we want to be there with them, even if we have momentary dreams of the vacation to come.

A massive development proposal met swift rejection Monday as District of North Vancouver council nixed two skyscrapers that would have paid for a new North Shore Winter Club.
The North Shore Winter Club has plans to build a 292,025-square-foot centre at 2420 Dollarton Rd. with two arenas, 10 tennis courts and a pool. But to pay for it, the club asked council to rezone 1325 Keith Road, which would facilitate a land sale/exchange with Darwin Properties and allow for a subsequent 930-unit development.
The private, non-profit athletic club is struggling to pay high taxes and retain employees, explained club president Jay Frezell.
"We're trying to survive," he told council.
Darwin's proposal consisted of 32- and 29-storey towers as well as a pair of a six-storey buildings and a two-storey structure that would have provided a home for the North Shore Unitarian Church.
After a seven-year search stymied by "high land cost and lack of suitable sites," time is running short to find a new location, according to North Shore Unitarian Church president Jim Stephenson. The church is currently located on Mathers Avenue in West Vancouver.
"Our now almost 50-year-old building is even more inadequate and deteriorated. It will not last much longer without major upgrades and repair that we can't afford," Stephenson wrote in a letter to council. "The [Keith Road] location is exactly what we have been looking for: on public transit, just off of a major road, and highly accessible to the whole North Shore community."
The deal would help prolong the winter club's 60-year tradition without touching the taxpayers' purse, Frezell said.
"Instead of coming empty with our hands out, we think we've come up with a solution that doesn't cost taxpayers anything," he said.
By shielding taxpayers and club members from expenses, almost the entire cost of a new facility – potentially as much as $200 million – will be paid for by increasing the value of the Keith Road property, said Mayor Mike Little.
"It's a massive facility and it's a massive amount of money," he said. "I just don't see it as being feasible."
There is a logic in putting density near a bridgehead, Little said, noting a reduction in both commuting distances and strain on municipal infrastructure. While he said he couldn't support development on the same scale as Seylynn, Little said he would consider a proposal with a more "modest uplift."
The community would "scoff" at the notion of 930 new units near one of the most congested areas in North Vancouver, Coun. Jim Hanson said.
"Even entertaining such a proposal is contrary to any goals for livability of the area let alone addressing climate and CO2 emissions," Hanson said.
The segment of Keith Road in front of the winter club "flows quite freely," countered Coun. Mathew Bond. Bond added that construction of the project would be several years away.
"In that time, the B-Line will be in, the bus service to the SkyTrain will be in, all the interchanges will be complete," he said.
Given the options to defer, proceed, revise or reject the application, Coun. Lisa Muri moved to reject.
Council is in the "very early stages" of an official community plan review, Muri noted.
"I think it is way early to discuss something like this," she said.
The project includes 1,133 parking spots, a figure that, "just blows my mind," said Coun. Betty Forbes.
Forbes was also critical of the type of housing being proposed, including 655 market ownership units, 175 market rentals and possibly 100 assisted living units for seniors.
"That's not the kind of housing we're looking for and this is not the place for putting that kind of congestion," she said.
Coun. Megan Curren concurred.
"I don't think the community is going to support a private club so that we would allow market condos," she said.
Council voted 5-2 to reject the project with Bond and Coun. Jordan Back opposed.
Following the meeting Frezell announced plans to take council's feedback, meet with partners, and see if the project can be adjusted.
"We believe our property is currently underutilized and that it will be rezoned," he stated. "The question is not if, but when, and we hope it is not at the expense of a 60-year non-profit family club."

Filming and photography have always been appealing to me. I don't remember exactly when it started but I remember always having a fascination with cameras and always wanted to be the one to take the photo or film. I remember going on family trips as a child and snapping photos like crazy only later to find how difficult and costly photo development was. In school I was almost always the cameraman when any opportunity showed itself. The humanities academy in my high school had a very cool media class and I really enjoyed editing video, leveling sounds, and producing real videos.
Luckily for us now days we have digital cameras and no longer need to deal with development of photos and can therefore snap as many photos as we like. My photography skills have slowly progressed since I purchased my first digital camera. I look back at the photos I have taken over the years and a steady progression of quality and composition can be seen. It is funny to look back at photos I previously thought were amazing, I now see them as mediocre or amateur.
Photography for me is about capturing a moment and expressing it through the composition of the photo itself. I have been lucky enough to travel and take amazing photos. While I am
currently expanding my photo base I enjoy taking photos of wildlife and nature more than anything else. During my time working on the Great Barrier Reef in Australia I was able to capture a large collection of dive images. I love taking dive, nature, and wildlife photos because of the locations and environments, but also like the added challenge of being underwater, in the jungle, or traveling.
During my time in Panama, Costa Rica, and Nicaragua I was able to take many photos of amazing animals and beautiful locations. I purchased a professional quality camera a little over a year ago and I am now taking my photos and photography skills and understanding to the next level. I have recently began to sell stock and artistic photos. While my stock photo portfolio is currently not large, I always have several hundred photos waiting to be uploaded and I constantly take more photos.
In addition to photography I have done a good deal of filming, post production, and audio scoring and leveling. I love media, animation, graphics, and art in general. My interests in all of these things leads to a skill base that covers many different aspects, these skills can be applied to almost any situation.
I am actively looking for new challenges and opportunities to use my and grow my photography and video skills. In addition to my photography and videography I plan on writing more and developing a more complete skill set that can be applied to as many situations as possible.

A totally great album from Novos Baianos – the earliest one we've ever seen by the group, and a session that has them sounding a fair bit like Os Mutantes! There's a wild range of influences running through the set – some psychedelic, some baroque pop, and some a bit more rootsy – as the group would explore more deeply in the mid 70s – and throughout the set there's a great sense of play in the music, the kind of tongue in cheek quality that we love in Os Mutantes, and which we never expected so strongly from these guys! Titles include "O Samba Me Traiu", "Ferro Na Boneca", "Eu De Adjetivos", "Outro Mambo Outro Mundo", "Colegio De Aplicao", "A Casca De Banana Que Eu Pisei", "Juventude Sexta E Sabado", and "De Vera". © 1996-2020, Dusty Groove, Inc.
We realize that there are many different interpretations of the standard grades used for pre-owned vinyl record albums & CD, so we thought we'd offer you the ones that we are working with, so you have an idea what we mean when we give the grade for a non-new item on our pages.
Below are stated conditions for a used vinyl records at Dusty Groove. Grading for the cover should be assumed to be near (within a "+" or "-") the grading for the vinyl. If there is significant divergence from the condition of the vinyl, or specific flaws, these will be noted in the comments section of the item. However, please be aware that since the emphasis of this site is towards the music listener, our main concern is with the vinyl of any used item we sell. Additionally, all of our records are graded visually; considering the volume of used vinyl we handle, it is impossible for us to listen to each record. If we spot any significant flaws, we make every attempt to listen through them and note how they play.
The following grading conditions apply to the vinyl component of an album or single:
This is what it says, that the record is still held fast in shrink-wrap. We tend to be pretty suspicious about these things, so if the shrink-wrap doesn't look original, or if the record seems to have undergone some damage over time, we'll probably take it out of the wrapper to ensure that it's in good shape — which is why we don't have more of these. In some cases the shrink-wrap may be torn in spots, but if it's not possible the record has been taken out and played, the record will still qualify as "Sealed".
Dusty Groove does not use the grades of Near Mint (or Mint, for that matter) because in our experience, we find that no records ever qualify for such a high grade. Even sealed records tend to have one or two slight faults, enough to usually qualify them for a grade of NM- or lower. We've often found that records which are clearly unplayed will have a slight amount of surface noise, especially in quieter recordings.
This is a grade we rarely use, as we try not to sell records in very bad condition, though in some rare cases we will list a record in such bad shape that it does not conform to the standards above. A "Fair" record will have enough marks or significant flaws that it does not even qualify as "Good", but is a copy you might consider for playing, if you're willing to put up with noise and/or flaws. An example might be a recording with surface noise so heavy that it is equal to the volume of the music. For records listed as "Fair", we will describe the extent of the condition in the comments.
Like "Fair", we rarely list records in this condition, as they represent the extreme low end of spectrum. These records typically have multiple serious problems, and we offer them as "relics" or "objects" only — for those who want to at least have a copy of a record, even if it is not really worthy of play, perhaps for the cover alone. For these records, we will describe the extent of the condition in the comments.
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.
We have only one grade for non-new CDs at Dusty Groove — "Used CD". This grade is somewhat all-encompassing, but we choose it because we try to offer Used CDs in the best shape possible.
When you purchase a Used CD you can expect the disc to be free of all but the lightest of surface marks, the case to be clean (we often change the cases ourselves), and the booklet to be in good shape. Used CDs may show some signs of use but if there are significant details or defects we will list them underneath the item — just like we do with LPs — so look there for notes on cutout marks, stickers, promo stamps or other details.
All of our Used CDs are guaranteed to play without skipping or flaws. If you purchase a Used CD from Dusty Groove, you have 1 week to play it to determine that it plays correctly — and if it does not, then you may return it for a full refund.

The Scene: A showcase of three London fashion up-and-comers—Louise Alsop, Helen Lawrence and Ashley Williams—all bubbling over with creative spirit and energy.
The Inspiration: For Alsop, it appeared to be crumpled paper; for Lawrence, the chance to play with fabric form and color; Ashley Williams used cool kitsch as her starting point.
The Look:
- Louise Alsop's subtle prints may be a good thing to focus on: pairing the look of slightly crumpled paper and a standard long-sleeved dress was delightfully trippy but still accessible. Blocks of cool colors and slightly off-center blocks of graphics were used to great effect. Alsop focuses on silhouettes that are easy, but patterns and details that are eye-catching.
- Helen Lawrence's thing is playing with shape—colorblocked dresses with a slime-effect hem that manages to hit at the natural waist, the hips and the upper thigh. Fabric interplay was also an important aspect: denim stitched-up tunic paired with felted wool pants, a slightly fringey blazer/sweater hybrid with high-water jeans. It's a look that's challenging and a bit daring without being truly out-there.
- Ashley Williams, who showed as part of the Fashion East program last season, focused on quirky prints on familiar silhouettes. An animal theme emerged, as models walked down the runway in cat-decorated sweaters, jeans and sequined strappy dresses. Williams also included a fun horse applique—complete with suede fringe "hair"—on a dress, silver skirt and a pair of leather jackets.
The Accessories: Alsop sent her models down the runway with shoes in black and white and a few similarly colored clutches. Same deal at Helen Lawrence save for a few wrist warmers. Ashley Williams went with bags shaped like scared black cats and milk-maiden-esque bonnets, updated.
The Beauty: Matted bangs and the I-just-cried look at Alsop; alternating purple glitter eyeliner (or bare faces) at Helen Lawrence. Ashley Williams pumped the retro vibes up to 11 with filled-in Twiggy lower-eyelash enhancements.
The Takeaway: If this is the future of British fashion, we're excited.

Cambridge Savings BankCambridge Savings Bank Launches New Website Using Same Intranet Software
When Massachusetts-based Cambridge Savings was looking to revamp their Web site to make it more functional and user-friendly, Banc Intranets' content management system was a natural choice. The firm had successfully installed an employee Intranet for Cambridge Savings using BancWorks, and the bank felt Banc Intranets' content management system for websites would be ideal. And it was. "We loved the tool they developed," says SVP/Chief Marketing Officer Karen E. Marryat. "It offered a great deal of customization and flexibility."
Plus, Cambridge Savings liked the graphical way that information could be presented and that no special skills are needed to change the content—so anyone can update the site. With the old Web site, information was organized around text links, and the help of a third party was needed to make content updates.
Banc Intranets Was "Fantastic"
"The installation of the content management system and Web site launch went very smoothly. Banc Intranets had a no-nonsense, clear-cut approach and was willing to customize quite a bit," Marryat says. "Banc Intranets took a design that was created by another provider and loaded it into the content management system. It also uploaded all of the bank's content to the new site. The people at Banc Intranets were so fantastic to work with," she says.
Marryat appreciates the level of ongoing support provided by Banc Intranets. "We have had after-hours issues arise, and there's always someone at Banc Intranets to respond," she says. "The glitches have been very few, but someone from Banc Intranets has always helped us. We've now hired them twice, and we would hire them again."
Cambridge Savings' new Web site has a consistent navigation system and other features that make it easy for visitors to locate and respond to information. For example, Cambridge Savings' customers can enjoy the convenience of being able to log into their account from the Home page. They can also complete and submit different forms online with the click of a few buttons.
These capabilities are important, especially given that research shows bank Web sites are becoming less functional and engaging. According to a study by New York-based consultancy Change Sciences, bank Web sites are becoming less welcoming, less informative, and harder to use. That's not the case with Cambridge Savings new Web site, as the site is designed for easy navigation and accessibility.
Customer Service Critical to the Bank's Success
With 175 years under its belt, Cambridge Savings Bank is one of the oldest community banks in Massachusetts. It's also one of the largest. Cambridge Savings has 16 banking centers throughout eastern Massachusetts and approximately $2 billion in assets. The bank—whose slogan is "Smart Thinking for 175 Years"—offers an array of solutions for consumers and businesses, from deposit and loan products to trust and investment services.
Since its 1834 inception as the Institution for Savings, the bank has concentrated on one key area: servicing customers. "We have extremely committed employees who are very focused on our customers' needs," Marryat explains.
Needless to say, Cambridge Savings is avid about providing superior customer service. Hence, the bank maintains a formal, comprehensive customer service program that has translated into high customer satisfaction and its continued growth.
Philanthropy and Technology also Important
In addition to customer service, philanthropy is also an important element of Cambridge Savings' success. The bank is dedicated to enhancing the communities in which it operates. In 2008, the Cambridge Savings Charitable Foundation awarded more than $500,000 to local nonprofit organizations.
Cambridge Savings is committed to adopting new technology. In fact, the bank has made significant and ongoing investments in technology, including its new Website, to ensure it keeps pace with the industry. In the past 20 months, Cambridge Savings has introduced a rewards program for its debit cardholders and made it possible for customers to open and fund an account online. Customers can also transfer money from other institutions via Internet banking. "We've spent quite a bit of time on channel management and making sure our customers can bank online with ease," Marryat says.
In the future, Cambridge Saving intends to keep enhancing its online presence and operations to benefit its customers. "We will continue to look at ways to leverage technology and differentiate the bank while maintaining our focus on service," Marryat says.

FOR thousands of Brits, the Costa del Sol conjures up images of beach holidays and lively nightlife. But, as I discovered, Spain also provides some serious treats for food-lovers.
Our host, Devour Tours, offers a selection of award-winning food and culture tours in six of Spain's most delicious destinations: Malaga, Barcelona, Seville, Madrid, Granada and San Sebastian.
Seasoned travellers will always tell you, seek out the places the locals go to for the best experiences and, thanks to their highly-experienced and very friendly guides, Devour Tours make that ever-so easy, as I found out in Malaga.
"The Spanish don't really drink sangria," our guide Lauren said as she walked us through the streets of the city on our first morning, collecting numerous 'holas' and invitations to drink along the way.
As if to prove her right, in all the numerous visits to cafes and restaurants during our stay, never once were we served sangria - or paella come to that.
Our 'Tapas Like a Local' tour does exactly what it says and sees us heading into less-well-known streets, entering mysterious doorways and always arriving somewhere where the warmth of the welcome matches the quality of the food.
Our first stop was Wendy Gambia, where I discovered my drink of choice for the rest of the break - tinto de verano (literally red of summer) - a delight made of the summer's red wine mixed with a hint of lemon Fanta.
At the ominously named but delightful KGB we were treated to black squid ink pasta with scallops and a seaweed dressing - told you this place is one for the foodies!
As well as learning about the food of the region, our tour also filled us in on much of its history. Another guide, Hanni, gave us a potted history of the impact the Moors had on Malaga as she led us to our next eating spot, Antigua Casa de Guardia.
Like many of the restaurants we visited, the chances are you would be unlikely to find the place as a solo tourist. There are no signs and from the outside it looks nothing special.
But, it really is a hidden gem, dating back to 1840. It is said that Queen Isabel II has been known to visit and that actor Antonio Banderas regularly pops in with his mum.
Stepping inside this traditional tavern, I was taken aback by its simplicity. Wine barrels fill the back of the room, with a long serving-table in front and more wines displayed in glass-and-wood cabinets. It's a place to stand up, resting your seco trasañejo (a Malaga dry wine) on the table, as you nibble on bandarilla picante (pickles on skewers) tapas.
We were treated to a range of eating experiences, each one as delightful as the last, ranging from decorative platters of cheese, almonds, raisins and meats at La Mallorquina to spectacular salads at Meson Antonio.
Not only do you get the chance to taste the food, you also get to see where it comes from with tours taking in the markets, where amazing-looking fruit and veg vie for attention with freshly-caught fish and seafood.
No Malagan experience would be complete without at least two breakfasts a day and you will soon find yourself becoming addicted to unsweetened churros (a type of doughnut) washed down with strong coffee.
There are so many highlights on the tour it is difficult to mention them all. But the range and quality of the small bars, cafes and restaurants, often hidden away in the winding streets, is phenomenal.
One word of advice: try not to eat for at least a week before you go as you simply have to try everything that is on offer.
It doesn't matter how much of a foodie you are, I think you will love to Tapas like a Local. It's a great way to discover the rich culture of Malaga while enjoying an authentic taste of regional cuisine.
But it's not just the food that will leave you drooling - the sights are pretty mouth-watering too, particularly the unfinished cathedral which towers over the city.
And Malaga is an art-lover's delight, many restaurants and cafes doubling as mini-galleries with original works lining the walls, providing a feast for the eye as well as the stomach.
Now, can I go back for seconds?
Devour Tours offers a selection of food and culture tours in Spain. In Malaga there are two different tours to choose from, the Tapas Like a Local: Malaga Food and Wine Tour costs 65 Euros per person and The Best of Malaga; Foodie Feast and Walking Tour costs 57 Euros per person.Visit www.devourtours.com.
Alima stayed at the Hotel Molina Lario, a superior 4 -star hotel in the centre of Malaga opposite the cathedral. Visit www.hotelmolinalario.com/en

Pulut hitam, like BoBo ChaCha, is one of the classic Malaysian dessert soups. I have been wanting to make this dessert soup for awhile but just never get to it. It's a good change to the regular red bean soup at our house. Too bad my children are not big fans of it, so I ended up giving 2/3 of the soup to friends. It was a very delicious dessert soup nonetheless. I especially love the crunchiness of Chinese donuts with the soup… Mmm, so heavenly!
Pulut Hitam Recipe
1 1/4 cup black gluten rice
1/4 cup white gluten rice
7 cups water
4 pandan leaves– tie a knot. See note below.
1 large block gula melaka 椰糖 or palm sugar
1 stick rock sugar 冰片糖
Coconut Sauce:
1 cup coconut milk
pinch of salt
toasted Chinese donut, cut into small pieces
- Combine both rices and rinse a couple of times. Soak in plenty of water 2-3 hours or overnight. Drain.
- Add 6 cups of water,drained rice and pandan leaves in a deep pot and bring to boil. Turn heat to medium and cook until the rice broth is silky smooth to the taste and rice is tender and yet yields texture to the bite. Keep stirring during cooking to prevent rice sticking to the bottom.
- While the rice is cooking, boil remaining 1 cup of water with gula melaka and rock sugar in a small pot, until sugar dissolves. Strain to remove impurities. Add to the rice soup/pulut hitam (add more water to rice soup if it's getting too thick).
- Prepare coconut sauce: put coconut milk and salt in a saucepan and boil over low heat until it bubbles. Set aside to cool.
- To serve, scoop pulut hitam into a bowl. Drizzle with some coconut sauce and top with Chinese donut pieces.
Regina's Note:
- Adding white gluten rice is to make the soup more silky taste. You can do the same with other dessert soups too like red bean soup.
- Frozen pandan leaves have lost much of its fragrance so double or triple the amount calls for in the recipe. Pandan leaves give the soup a fragrant aroma. Omit it if you can't find this ingredient.

Summer Sunset Lecture: Saturday, July 12, 7 pm, UNM Student Union Ballroom A
The Power of Poetry in My Life"A long time ago, back in early `72, when I went to prison, I was lucky enough to be put in the basement of a maximum security prison for disciplinary reasons. I did not get along with the prison administration, nor with the prisoner culture of violence. There was another answer to shape my life, to make sense of my past, to give me hope that I would not end up in this dreary forsaken hell as a repeat convict. One day when one of the guys on death row sent me a book and I opened it up and started reading, I found the voice that would lift me to the highest and give me the strength to fight for the life I wanted-- that voice belonged to Pablo Neruda. And then came other voices; Lorca, Jimenez, Hernandez, Vallejos, Cardenal, and so forth. I read voraciously, with an appetite that could never be satisfied. My soul was renewed, my mind ablaze, my heart passionately committed to poetry after reading these great voices.
Today, I continue to be influenced by Latin American poetry, fiction and painting-- so much so that I find myself running around Latin America interviewing poets from every country and their works continue to lift me, inspire me, and hold me steady in the storms that assail our dangerous reality today." -Jimmy Santiago Baca

At first, the small New Hampshire town seems to be the perfect location. They quickly settle in and make friends with their eccentric neighbours, then begin work on their summer house – while Julia is drawn into a relationship with Robert Wilde, the handsome cop next door.
But Franklin is haunted, too - by the decades-old murder of a beautiful young artist, killed in the house at the end of Julia's street. Even though everyone says that the case is solved, Julia can't escape the feeling that there's more to the story than she's being told. She's right.
Someone doesn't want the murder case re-opened. And they're willing to kill again to stop it.
The house at the end of the street hasn't begun to give up its secrets.

Does anyone know what i can do other than open a case of harassment against Telkom? About a year ago they handed my fixed line account over to a debt collector. After providing the debt collector proof of cancellation notice, they closed their file and returned the matter to Telkom. Yet Telkom still keeps sending a bill, and i checked my credit score where Telkom is making adverse listings.
The only way to contact Telkom is via the calldesk number. Each time the operator tells me that the matter will be escalated to a supervisor and then the story ends there.

Bad debt
They have written your debt off, blacklisted you, affected your score its really a recovery and rehabilitation issue.
You need services of an arrear councilor or debt specialist to look into your matter against unfair blacklisting they might help you clear your name.
