Red Herrings, Druids, and Bank Myths – 3.0 By Anna Von Reitz This is my third rant inspired by the lecture given this morning by the expert in Druidic Symbolism— he lied outright, even though he might now know that he was lying in this case — when he asserted that “Americans are prohibited by law from paying for anything.” It’s actually exactly the opposite. Americans have no choice but to pay in gold and silver and gold and silver — lawful money — results in actual payment of debt. This is mandated by the Constitutions — the actual States and people pay in gold or silver, but all the U.S. Citizens and Municipal citizens of the United States, that is, our foreign Subcontractors, have to “pay” with credit. They are the ones that can’t pay a debt. And that is why they do nothing but accrue debt, debt, and more debt. While we, with respect to them, accrue nothing but more and more and more credit. That is why their “National Debt” by definition is our “National Credit”. That is why we are their Preferential Creditors without exception. Our Forefathers set it up so that the foreign Congresses had to operate on our credit, so that we remain their Preferential Creditors, and so that when our government is in Session, we have the duty and opportunity to “balance the books”. Who could imagine that our employees would contrive to keep our American Government from coming back into Session for 160 years? —-And just roll through engineered bankruptcies in sequence, instead? As Fiduciary for The United States of America, I served Notice on the Queen, the Pope, and the Lord Mayor that we are ready to do the accounting and balance the books. All fifty States are in General Session and there is no reason that we can’t direct the appropriate action — but the other Principals who have benefited from this whole setup have instead dragged their feet and attempted to ignore the facts. Because the actual Americans and their Lawful Government are owed staggering amounts of both gold and silver, which is encumbered to promote the vast credit system swindle that our erstwhile foreign Subcontractors have created for their benefit. Because the actual Americans and their Lawful Government are owed even more staggering amounts of credit based on their gold, silver, land and other purloined assets which our employees have used as collateral backing their debts and as the source of all their trading platform profits. Because the vast pools of pilfered credit and physical assets have been used to create awe-inspiring Slush Funds often misrepresented as “pension funds” and “charitable foundations” and State Investment Funds, etc., that politicians, churches, foreign governments, banks, and attorneys have profited from — and don’t want to return to the control of the Lawful Owners. Yet, here we are, and the time has come. For the sake of the entire planet, this craziness in which the Employees order their Employers around, and in which every conceivable aspect of life is turned upside down, must end. Legal suppositions and wordplay must succumb to reality and fact. Self-interested games and lies must give way to truth and common sense. This entire time that the foreign corporation “Congresses” have been kicking the can down the road toward a “future payment date” they have been buying everything — and I do mean, everything — on our credit. Just like Credit Card Hackers, they have been stealing our identities and pretending to “represent” us to the rest of the world, to enable themselves to access our credit without our knowledge or agreement. And domestically, they have been using prohibited “Legal Tender Laws” to enable themselves to exchange their paper I.O.U.s for our gold and silver, land and oil, and everything else. All mortgages in this country have been written as “future lease purchase agreements” — not sale contracts. All our land which Americans own by grant and cadastral survey and patent, has been placed in State Trusts controlled by the Usurpers, and we have been issued “titles” to facilitate the mortgage fraud which assumes that we are not Americans and not able to pay for anything in lawful money. This is their tangled web, not ours. It is up to the other Principals, the Queen, the Pope, and the Lord Mayor to give a full accounting and to expedite the bookkeeping and return of our assets and our credit to our own control. We are the Presumed Donors of all their trusts and corporations established in our names and the names of our States of the Union, and now that we have “returned” home and our State Assemblies are in Session—we have the absolute right to dissolve these trusts and demand that the assets entrusted be returned to us unharmed and unencumbered. The other Principals involved need to be talking to us, not to China. Want to support the Author?

How active a person’s immune system is soon after a stroke may be tied to later mental declines, a new study finds. Researchers took blood samples from 24 stroke patients up to nine times over the course of a year. Twelve of the patients also completed a mental-skills test at four points during that time. Patients who had highly active immune cells on the second day after a stroke were more likely to see their test scores decline a year later, researchers report online March 12 in Brain. “The people who either got better on the task or stayed the same had less of an immune response at day 2 [after the stroke], and the people who had more of an immune response at day 2 were more likely to decline and do worse later,” says study coauthor Marion Buckwalter, a neuroscientist at Stanford University School of Medicine. A stroke occurs when the brain loses oxygen, due to a blocked or burst blood vessel. Buckwalter and her colleagues used a technique called mass cytometry that analyzes thousands of immune cells and their signaling molecules — which indicate how active a cell is — from blood samples of patients who had suffered a stroke. The researchers also tested patients’ memory, concentration, language skills and other thinking skills using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment. It’s unclear why some patients have a more active immune response than others in the days after a stroke. But with more research, it’s possible that the response may be a way to predict which patients will fare worse after a stroke, the researchers say.

Bag-in-box filler can be a wise investment if you are thinking about your juice production business. The fruit juice you make can be kept for up to 18 months in a closed bag. Up to 2 months in the opened bag. This piece of equipment is lightweight, stackable, and easy to carry. Easy handling of this machine also lets you use it even if you are only a hobbyist. Bootle hygiene problems and bottle cleaning are also eliminated. Because there are no bottles! What Is Bag-In-Box Packaging? The so-called bag-in-box is packaging for liquids, especially food. The English bag-in-box, BiB for short, literally means “bag-in-box”; other names are bag-in-box, bag in a box, or bag-in-tube. The packaging consists of an inner bag made of composite film material (e.g., aluminum/HDPE or polyethylene (PE)) in combination with ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH), which is mechanically sealed by an outer packaging (cardboard box) made of corrugated cardboard or wood or a tube (English tube) is supported from cardboard. With this technique, the manufacturer fills the inner bag with the non-pressurized liquid, closes it with the tap, and then puts it in the outer carton. Compliance with filling hygiene and the high peak load (flow rate) during the filling process might be problematic. Therefore, the product is usually temporarily stored in a germ-free (aseptic) buffer tank. Hot filling is also an option with the appropriate bag material. The consumer opens a pre-cut window in the carton and can either take the drink from a simple tap or connect the bag to a dispenser for further distribution. What Is The Bag Filler? The Bag-In-Box filler might be a manual or semi-automatic filling machine that can be used for filling single bags and bags from the belt. It is equipped with the quantity measurement, which means that 0.8 gal (3 l), 1.3 gal (5 l), 2.6 gal (10 l), and 5.2 gal (20 l) bags can be filled very quickly, and the containers can be set up very quickly. It is worth mentioning that most bag-in-box fillers are extremely versatile and can be perfect for filling various liquids: from juice, wine, and oil to puree, cream, and even soap. The machine is suitable for both – hot and cold filling and can usually fill bag-in-box and pouch packaging in sizes from 0.2 gal (0.75 l) to 8 gal (30 l). It is also possible to fill 58 gal (220 l) bags with a special filling gun. As you see, a bag-in-box filler is a very versatile machine. Manual Bag In Box Filler – Example Specifications Below is an average example of bag-in-box filler that can be found on the market: - The complete filling process of a 0.8 gal (3 l) bag takes about 7 seconds. - The filler can optionally have interchangeable filling heads. You can use a filler to fill bags with different closures, such as taps, milk hoses, screw caps, single closures, etc. - The laser safety mechanism protects the limbs by automatically stopping and aborting the inflation process in the event of an accident. - The high-quality automatic filling head ensures a stable and smooth filling process. - Optionally, the filler can be equipped with a removable buffer tank for hot filling. It conveniently mounts on the side of the machine for better control and an easier wash cycle. The buffer tank also reduces liquid foaming during the hot fill process. - The buffer tank has an integrated liquid level control on the inside to regulate overflow and filling levels in the tank. - The buffer tank might also be supplied with a connection to a pasteurizer. - The filler is easy to clean after work with external and CIP cleaning. Semi-Automatic BIB Filler – Example Specifications Semi-automatic bottler with calibratable weighing system: - The bag-in-box semi-automatic filler has a calibratable scale for filling 0.8 gal (3 l), 1.3 gal (5 l), and 2.6 gal (10 l) bags. - This machine is specially designed for hot filling up to approx. 186°F (80°C). - A thermometer for checking the working temperature is integrated into the reservoir. - The level indicator shows the amount of juice in the container. The built-in level switch controls the pasteurizer’s juice pump before the storage tank overflows. How to operate it? - Insert bag into the gripper (manually). - Open the bag closure (manually). - After pressing the start button, the swivel arm moves to the filling position and begins to fill the bag (automatically). - Fill the bag with an automatic filling quantity via a calibrated weighing system until the set weight is reached (automatically). - Close and remove the bag from the gripper (manual). Bag In Box Filling Line Let’s have a quick look at the parts of a bag-in-box filling line. Such line should at least consist of the: - fruit press - pasteurizer (optional) - bag-in-box filler - labeling machine (optional) This is a more straightforward setup compared to a juice bottling line. You don’t need to have a washing and sanitizing machine for the bottles. Additional equipment for filling pasteurized fruit and wine juices can include: - outer packaging made of cardboard - bag holders made of stainless steel - filling funnels for cardboard boxes In order to label the fruit and wine juices you have created yourself, you can use a simple labeling machine with stickers in different sizes. Bag-in-box is considered to be more environmentally friendly packaging for your drinks. This is especially the case if you buy bag-in-box packaging made from food-safe and environmentally friendly polyethylene, which is incinerated in a pollutant-free and energy-recovery manner. A bag-in-box is used for the long-term storage of liquids such as wine, must and sweet must, fruit juice, liqueurs, distillates, cooking oil, soups, milk, water, or vinegar. Since the juice bag is filled under a vacuum, the liquid can be kept for up to 18 – 24 months. The sturdy carton can be reused up to 40 times and protects the product inside from solar radiation (UV radiation) – another reason for the long shelf life. The bag-in-box carton is precisely matched to the bag-in-box and has cut-outs for the VITOP outlet tap (closure). The bag-in-box can be easily transported using the handle holes. In addition, the cardboard ensures a stable stand and an attractive look. With the bag-in-box, you get a very efficient transport option for liquids. Due to its light and compact packaging, this packaging system requires little storage space when not filled. For this reason – and also when it comes to transport – bags in boxes have significant advantages over a glass or plastic bottles. Thanks to the stackable cuboid shape and the optimal use of space, a bag in a box can be transported and stored in a space-saving manner. Closing is also quick and easy – no packing tape is required! Filled bag-in-box units can also be stacked and are, therefore, extremely space-saving when stored. Bag-in-box packaging is gaining more popularity compared to traditional glass, cans, and tetra-pack filling systems. Probably because it’s a simple and relatively cheap option. From a taste point of view, it is advantageous that, for example, wine packaged in BiB is not subject to the risk of developing a cork tone, as is the case with bottles closed with natural cork. After opening the packaging, the shelf life of the packaged products is better since no air can get into the product remaining in the packaging when removed from the outside so that oxidation processes or contamination can be avoided. The drinks can, therefore, usually be kept at room temperature for at least several weeks after opening. Of course, the shelf life is reduced at higher temperatures. On the other hand, the long-term shelf life of the unopened product is presumably lower than that of glass packaging. In a study by the University of California, Californian Chardonnay’s taste changes when stored in different packaging were examined in long-term tests. Wine bottled in bag-in-boxes and stored at 104°F (40°C) had a higher amount of vinegary aromas than wine bottled at the same temperature. The difference was significantly smaller when stored at lower temperatures (room temperature or below).

(Stockholm, 11 September 2017) The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) today released a report calling for context-based and inclusive urban security strategies to ensure positive city development. The report is released ahead of the second Stockholm Security Conference, this year on the theme of Secure Cities in an Insecure World, commencing on 13 September. Read the report here. The security of cities is not limited to the question of effective policing, the report says, but it also entails the removal of impediments to successful urban development, such as the risk of fragmentation along ethnic, national, religious, sectarian or socio-economic lines. Cooperation and inclusion can transform the safety of urban environments, while also promoting other economic benefits, states the report. The perception that resources and services are being provided in a fair and equitable way—through a process of inclusive and transparent governance—is a key way to generate positive city development. When marginalized communities are excluded from decision making, the likelihood of violence increases, the report finds. Drawing on case studies from cities across the world, the report emphasizes the importance of good practices embedded in institutions rather than discrete projects. Taking disaster risk reduction and mitigation as an example, building capacities and monitoring effective implementation are critical for reinforcing resilience; a community must be able to adapt, accommodate and change, not just restore itself to a pre-shock status quo. Political leadership essential on all levels The share of the world’s population living in cities has increased to well over 50 per cent today from just 10 per cent in 1900. This is expected to approach 70 per cent by 2050. States continue to have the greatest responsibility for providing security today, but city and municipal authorities are increasingly examining the role they can play. If effective security strategies are not developed, the consequences of urbanization will become progressively serious, the report says. There must be an appropriate division of responsibilities between the local, national and international levels. In this endeavour to ensure secure cities, political leadership, the report says, is critical. Managing the resources needed for effective action requires strong political engagement and requires partnership between multiple actors. Responsible actors, the report continues, should first examine how the existing system can be used to address identified concerns. Furthermore, ensuring that different levels of actors (international, national and local, for example) do not contradict each other is important, particularly with regard to crime and terrorism—two crucial, interlocking areas that the report investigates. Building on this, programmes and projects to help better manage risks should be adapted to different local conditions. Digital technology: An opportunity and a risk for safety? Digital simulations and digital forms of communication are being used to engage the public in thinking about different aspects of safety and security. While digital technology and social media can provide quicker channels of dissemination and communication of information—and can, therefore, aid inclusivity—rumours and false information can be detrimental to planning and rapid response. Effective communication with marginalized communities requires trusted messengers delivering messages that promote social equity, the report continues. Understanding risk based on the needs of communities requires effective communication strategies that are inclusive, in turn fostering resilience and safety. The communication strategies should also be two-way and able to work with communities to extract information that can lead to shared understanding and practical cooperation. Please see for reference the complete list of sessions and session speakers at the 2016 Stockholm Security Conference. The report, Secure Cities: Inclusivity, resilience and safety, covers global frameworks for discussing the global role of cities, through to practical steps for addressing the most pressing security risks in urban areas. The different aspects are based on the discussions, findings and conclusions from the 2016 Stockholm Security Conference, on the theme of ‘Secure Cities’. Co-hosted by SIPRI, the Swedish Riksdag and Stockholm’s City Council it brought together 197 participants in a wide-ranging discussion in order to understand how cities have succeeded in creating a more secure environment for their residents, and to identify the new challenges that cities are facing. The upcoming 2017 Stockholm Security Conference will be on the theme of ‘Secure Cities in an Insecure World’. It will identify and assesses global security challenges and trends, how these play out in cities, discussing what cities must do to respond to insecurity.

A BB Q20 Keyboard in USB/PMOD/Qwiic format with an injection molded clear plastic case. This is the evolution of the previous BBQ10 PMOD board.

Four games into the regular season and the Minnesota Timberwolves have no better than a 2-2 record. That’s not how many expected the season to begin, is it? Well, not by many, at least. But everyone agreed that this is a season that will begin awkwardly. So far, that is proving true, at least. So far, Timberwolves shooting guard Anthony Edwards, point guard D’Angelo Russell, and center Rudy Gobert are three players who have stood out during the start of the season. Edwards has shown significant improvement in his mid-range shooting and field goal efficiency, notching 30 points twice this season and both times shooting above 51 percent from the field. In addition, the 21-year-old is starting to find his rhythm in an in-found offense in Minnesota. The Timberwolves found some success late in the game against the Utah Jazz with Anthony Edwards leading a small ball lineup, and here he comments on his comfortability playing with smaller units: "“For me I like to play with an open court because when I get the rebound,” Edwards said, “I like to push and get downhill, get fouls, get to the rim as much as possible. The smaller we go, the better it is for me.” – Per Anthony Edwards as quoted by Star Tribune Chris Hine" With two bigs at the helm, chemistry is the key to Edwards’s success behind Gobert and power forward Karl-Anthony Towns. He is explosive in one-on-one situations and can be an All-Star in this league. But Edwards has trouble playing consistently well and taking care of his body. In Game 4 played on Monday night vs. the San Antonio Spurs, Edwards followed up with another poor performance, finishing with nine points and ten rebounds, while shooting only 3-15 from the field. Again, you expect a different outing from one of your star players—his running mates Karl Anthony Towns and D’Angelo Russell combined for 52 points. Had Edwards hit on eight of those 15 shots, and two of those from three-point range, that would have been an additional 12 points. Sadly, the Timberwolves lost by a score of 115 to 106. Popeye’s chicken causes a Timberwolves’ loss? While the loss was on everyone, Anthony Edwards’ performance was particularly disappointing. After the game, Towns aired his grievance on Anthony Edwards’s body performance. The three-time All-Star is precisely correct. Players like Towns and Edwards get paid the big bucks to go out and perform night in and night out, with no days off. Edwards put in the work over the offseason. Now it’s time to go out and perform. He voiced his determination for this season before an event linked to a new deal with HEIR and NFT, which allows fans to purchase memberships for “Ant Man’s Army.” "““I’ve been working on everything, man. Just getting better. I’m trying to take that leap this year and be the best player I can be. Trying to take my team as far as we can.” – as quoted per The Athletic’s Jon Krawczynski" Trying to take your team far involves something other than fumbling games against teams you are supposed to defeat. But, unfortunately, the clock is ticking, and the Wolves franchise did not complete a blockbuster trade this offseason just to flush another season down the drain. On the other hand, veteran point guard D’Angelo Russell took the season by storm after a rocky performance in the playoffs last season vs. the Memphis Grizzlies. Russell is determined to prove he deserves a contract extension. He is heading into the final year of his contract, and things are looking up so far. Playing well consistently pays, and Russell only averaged 18.1 points, 7.1 assists, and 3.3 rebounds per game last season. Solid number but mediocre for a star point guard in this league. The long game is what matters. Can Russell play consistently well for long periods? It will determine if he deserves an extension or not. So far, he is averaging 18.5 points, 5.1 assists, and 4.5 rebounds per game. Gobert is as good as the brochure One good thing going for D’Angelo Russell is the Timberwolves bring in 3x NBA Defensive Player of the Year in the form of Rudy Gobert. So far, the Frenchman has embraced his new role on the Timberwolves and is making strides game by game. Gobert is known for his ability to chase down boards. Sunday night, the 7-foot-1 big man collected 15 rebounds and set a franchise record for the most rebounds by a Timberwolves player through three games to open the season. Talk about uniqueness. Gobert brings new heights to everyone’s game around him. But, then, a point guard’s dream, two twin towers in the frontcourt, talk about LOB CITY. Instead of trading away their former All-Star, Minnesota has provided him with another big to maximize his game. Curiously, only Karl Anthony Towns has truly capitalized on Gobert’s ability to score at will. Gobert, Towns, and the Timberwolves fan base are hungry for an NBA Championship.

QuickBooks Online 2021 help and support options. Let’s get into it with Intuit QuickBooks Online 2021. Here we are in our free QuickBooks Online at test drive file, which you can find by going into your favorite browser and typing in QuickBooks Online test drive. We’re in Craig’s design and landscaping services practice file, thinking about support options. When thinking about support options, we want to break out the category of the support option that you’re looking for, and then go to the best resource out there. There’s a whole lot of different support options for QuickBooks Online. So it’s almost overwhelming to think about the support options that you could go towards. So first, I would think about, is it something that is a technical thing in nature? Or is it something that’s a bookkeeping type of question? If you If your answer is it’s a technical type of question, then you might want to go directly to Intuit the owners of QuickBooks to solve that problem, something about your account settings, something about like a glitch that you think just isn’t working right within QuickBooks Online, then you probably want to troubleshoot that with QuickBooks itself. If it’s something that’s going to be on the bookkeeping side of things, then I would first I would further break down your thought to say, Hey, is this something that’s just some little thing that I don’t know how to do, but I understand it? Well, I understand conceptually what I want to do, but I don’t know how to actually do it, then you probably can just look for an answer on that. And that’s when you might want to go for the help option up top. And you could also go to the quickbooks online website to look for forms in there to help you out. You could just google search a form because QuickBooks is quite a large software. So you could just find answers in that way as well. You can look online and YouTube and whatnot, and find answers to specific technical questions. If it’s a bookkeeping question, and it’s a larger question about something that’s going to affect a greater impact on your on your system, you have a question about what to do what would be right for your business from a strategical bookkeeping standpoint, then I would think about going either to your accountant, an accountant in some way, either an accountant that is specializing in bookkeeping, in QuickBooks, or possibly to your tax firm or accounting firm. So if you have a tax firm or CPA firm, and it’s more a question that could impact your bookkeeping kind of overall, and you don’t know exactly what to do, I would go to your tax and accounting firm or possibly to a QuickBooks professional, a bookkeeping professional. And you could find one of those here by by looking through into its experts as well. Obviously, there’s some overlap there as well. So if you you might have some support from people that are bookkeepers, who are your tax preparers, you might have some support from bookkeepers who are not your tax preparers. And you want to make sure that if you have multiple levels of support, that are giving you advice on how to put your books together, that they’re on the same page, so that you know you can you can make things as easy as possible going forward. So again, if it’s a technical nature, you might want to actually go to into it, you know, go to your account, look up your account and you know, contact into it about something that like that’s glitchy in the software, if it’s something that you just looking at what should be done, or how do I fix some problem or enter one type of transaction when I know what I want to do, probably this help option is your best choice. It’s an easy navigation option up top. So you got some of your categories down below. But you could be searching for you know, payroll, and search in that format. So it’s got a lot of good information, this is probably the first place that you’re going to go probably the first place that Intuit would lead you to go. But for those types of questions as well, you could go to the to the Intuit website. So Intuit, remember is the owner of QuickBooks, you can also go to I would typically start by going to QuickBooks here. And then you could then go to the support options support options here. You could call them, obviously, this would be the sales line, but they could probably track you to the support line from there. Notice there’s a support option up top, I usually go down all the way down and make sure I’m in the right product, which is QuickBooks Online. I think it’s gonna take me to the same spot though. I’m gonna go to QuickBooks Online here. And then I’ll typically go to the support, which I think is again, the same, the same general area. And then you got a lot of support options here. Many of this could be similar to what you’ll find in the Help menu, but it’s kind of laid out in a different format might be an easier way to look through. So you got the QuickBooks support here, get started different topics, account management, banking expenses, get started QuickBooks commerce reports, and so on. They got the community community home QuickBooks q&a, discuss your business, community basics, champions program and then resources. You could have live bookkeeping resource, so it might be worth looking into if you if you have a specific question that you think is a bookkeeping question again, I would if you have a tax preparer and accountant, then I would make sure that the bookkeeping support that you’re getting is in parallel in alignment with whatever Your overarching accounting plan would be as well, you want to have those things on the same page. So if you get advice about an overarching type of thing for bookkeeping from a bookkeeper, then you probably want to run it by your accountant as well, if there’s different, find an expert, and so you can actually find an expert in these, when you find an expert within QuickBooks, it’ll be something that they will typically be some in some way shape or form QuickBooks certified so that they have some kind of level of competence that they have proven in some way shape or form for bookkeeping, within QuickBooks, which can be a good place to start when you’re looking for bookkeepers, so Resource Center, and then they QuickBooks blog. So if you scroll down here, some of the resources notice it’s on QuickBooks Online here, account management, banking, expenses, and vendors, and so on and so forth. So the the actual website is a great place to go. And again, QuickBooks is quite a large type of software in its in its area in its market place. Therefore, just simply searching for QuickBooks Online or QuickBooks Online on like a YouTube search search as well, you will find oftentimes, a lot of support to help you out with particular type of questions. But again, if you’re looking at overarching questions, I would go to your accountant or professional. Now you can also find that here you have your your my experts here as well. So you can connect with your accountant Pro, or find one on our network. So you can try to look for an accountant to help you out and support you in that way as well. So I just keep the overarching theory of if it’s a technical issue, possibly go to into it, if it’s going to be something that I just need to know what to do, I know what I want to do, but I just don’t know quite how to do it, then there’s a whole lot of resources starting probably at the Help menu, you can google search, you could do YouTube, YouTube videos, and then you can look at support within the Intuit community as well on their web page. And then if it’s an overarching change, which you think is going to have an impact for a long period of time, and you want to make sure that you implement that correctly, then I would talk to bookkeeping experts, which you might be able to find here and make sure that they’re in alignment with your overarching plan that you would get advice from. If you have a tax preparer or CPA firm that that you at least do. You know you’re in tax preparation with if they can get in alignment with that as well. So you want to make sure everybody’s on the same page. With those big ticket items. Those things can have a large impact.

Promoting civic engagement and effective local governance for over 100 yearsView Past Issues In a new collection of essays published by the Kettering Foundation, journalists reflect openly and honestly on their attempts to do their work in new and better ways. Their reflections offer insights into how journalism might help in repairing our civic fabric and strengthening American democracy. The following four essays were originally published in a Kettering Foundation book, Re-Inventing Journalism to Strengthen Democracy: Insights from Innovators. Who and what we see when we talk about democracy and what types of civic information are produced in that democracy are collective issues that journalists can’t solve on our own. The best response to the current crisis in journalism is to get more people involved at a level on which everyone can participate as more than mere consumers of local information. Building and keeping public trust takes a dedicated team that is willing to do the work to drive the momentum forward, manage crises effectively, and keep the focus on our public service mission. The question, “Why should I trust you?” should be top of mind daily to journalists, who must be responsive in order to be successful in their work. To better inform people doing the work of supporting democracy, journalists must start seeing themselves as part of a larger, decentralized network of the civic body rather than as part of a siloed industry. The information they provide is just one stream in the larger flow of information that supports collective sense-making. If people don’t trust the news media and civil dialogue is contracting, how can journalists adapt their practices to better serve their highest calling, supporting our democracy? Spaceship Media’s Dialogue Journalism is one effort to adapt to the reality of today’s civic information landscape. Because the arts have the capacity to affirm and advance democracy, the Kettering Foundation has decided to integrate the unique power of the arts into its work locally, nationally, and internationally. The Democracy and the Arts program will focus on deepening our engagement with core democratic values. A celebrated artist and educator, Willis Davis has been creating art that mirrors the complexities and sometimes the shortcomings of American democracy his entire life. Davis and Kettering Foundation President Sharon L. Davies explored his work in the first of a planned series of conversations with democracy innovators.

HUDSON, FL – Pasco Sheriff Chris Nocco confirmed that deputies are still on the lookout for the demons that forced a local Hudson man to choke his pregnant girlfriend after an argument about Xbox. We recently took a suspect into custody after his pregnant girlfriend showed us bruises and scratch marks on her neck and claimed he choked her because she was playing Xbox. After obtaining further information, we learned that the suspect was actually himself a victim of demonic possession. He then told us that after the attack, his demons left his body and fled south on US-19. We then realized that the suspect we had in custody was actually a victim as well, and that the real suspects were still on the loose.We have begun an extensive search of the Pasco area to locate the demons but have not located them thus far. Pasco Sheriff deputies have escalated their search efforts in recent days to include K9 units that have been specifically trained to detect demon odor. Nocco concluded the press statement by assuring the public that his department will not rest until the perpetrators of this heinous crime are apprehended.

As self-aware as I am, I notice that occasionally I do not pay attention to the messages I’m receiving. The quote above showed up on my page-a-day calendar about a month ago. I thought, “that’s really deep,” and promptly forgot about it. And then I got sick. In the middle of a program. Away from home. In a crappy hotel room. My first thought was, “did I not slow down fast enough?” My second… “What’s WRONG with me?” Have you ever done that? Not only ignored the signs around you, but then got angry with yourself for being human? Yeah. Me neither. (Hahahahaha) Now that I am well (thanks for asking), I’ve been contemplating this more. I have lots and lots of energy around DOING things. Totally capable of MAKING things happen. But really not so good at ALLOWING life to unfold. This lesson about slowing down is exactly what I need right now. Learning how to move slowly (Literally… stretch and HOLD) is changing my ability to respond to the world. I invite you to join me. Could you use help slowing down? Figuring out what is important? What’s getting in the way of what’s important? I’d love to help. Click below to book a collaborative session!

Tips for Tuba Vol. IV-A David Porter, Associate Editor “Screeches and Pedals are not frightening” Junior and senior high school students are fascinating individuals. They are capable of marvelous creativity and, given motivation, can produce amaz-ing results. This most certainly applies to music. Students are motivated by a variety of different sources—teachers, performers, and recordings. What I have learned is that if students do not receive motivation for creativity, they will find it themselves. Along those lines, it would serve a teacher well to keep in touch with what fascinates students. What is it that gets their atten-tion? Over the years the musical trends come and go, but there is one particular area of playing that has always had students’ attention—the ability to play extremely high or extremely low notes. No matter how young or old, whether a student of the seventies or the 21st century, the interest in this area always seems to exists. In dealing with this fasci-nation, there are two choices to be made. One is to ignore this area as unimportant, since the “money” area of playing does not involve extreme ranges. The other is to embrace it for use as a motivational tool in helping students play better. Here are some thoughts about the first choice. For young tuba students, the extreme ranges will rarely be played in a musical ensemble. Composers do not have a need for the tuba’s extreme ranges, and they know that young students probably cannot play them anyway. Therefore, it seems logical to concentrate on the notes they can play and make them better. Over a period of time, the student will become better and stronger and then be able to increase their range note by note. The plus to this is that students can keep a good sound while also learning to play better. Usually if a student tries to play beyond the range where they actually sound good, the result is enough to make everyone cringe. Sometimes the teacher may ask students not to try this and stay within the range that maintains a good sound. Additionally, teachers may not know how to help students try these extreme notes without causing possible physical damage (and mental). However, in contrast, preventing students from trying something that interests them may cause them to feel unmotivated about practicing. For students to want to practice, they must have something that makes them believe they are accomplishing something interesting to them and not just the instructor, private teacher, or education system. This leads me to the second choice in embracing their fascination. In short, helping students learn how to do something that they first find unattainable can help them progress by leaps and bounds, both in their skill and musicality. With regard to extreme ranges, here are some thoughts for approaching this area. One unique tuba feature is that with the outer ranges the tuba’s range can reach as many as six octaves, depending on the player. My experience has proven that students who hear these ranges become fascinated with trying to hit these notes (either high or low), and if I give them proper instruction on the approach with some exercises, they will begin practicing these notes. My primary purpose is that by increasing their range, even if it does not sound good, their playable range will eventually sound better. I do not mind students trying to make sounds in the extreme ranges that resemble some animal noise, as long as it has purpose. However, I do not favor students making odd noises just to be funny or obnoxious. Without instruction these practices can cause serious bad habits or damage to their embouchures. Here are suggestions for helping students with the extreme ranges in a positive way . First, make sure they hear some extreme range notes actually played properly, either from a recording or a private teacher. When I demonstrate this on tuba, this step alone helps me get their attention, especially in lessons. Second, have them approach extreme registers from within the middle of the range. I usually do this with scale patterns since they need to learn these anyway. Third, have them slowly progress by note, helping them to first find the correct pitch you are trying to attain and then pointing out when they are on the correct pitch, and then have them try playing it again. We usually will spend a few minutes of each lesson exploring each end of the range by a note or two and THAT’S ALL (Note: these steps apply for either screech or pedal note learning. I never try to push students too quickly for fear of hurting their embouchures). In our music education geographical area of northern Virginia, knowing all major scales is a requirement for district ensemble tryouts as well for many of the school music programs. Over the years, I have encouraged students to begin playing scales more than one octave as soon as they can. For a beginning student, my goal is to learn one octave by the end of the first semester. Most often students can play a couple of the scales two octaves. By the end of their first year of playing (even for the young junior high school students), the goal is to have attempted all scales two octaves. This means they can actually play all but three or four of the scales two octaves, with high b-flat often being their top note. By the end of their second year, all major scales need to be at two octaves. By the end of their third year, we begin working with a couple of scales playable at three octaves. At this point, the student’s ability usually determines how much further they can progress. I have had a few students who were never able to achieve all scales three octaves, which was usually attributed to lacking practice except during the lesson (we all know how that goes). For the students who were really excited about their range, I have had students play all scales three octaves (and some of them four octaves) by the time they graduate from high school. This becomes somewhat of a healthy competi-tion between the students. All it takes is one student figuring out how to play the extreme ranges to inspire everyone else. Regarding specific techniques about playing extreme ranges, first please review the article called “Tips for Tuba:: Go Vertical!,” ITEA Journal (30:3). Along with those techniques described, there are a few key points to emphasize. At first, it is okay for the student to have leaking air out the side of the mouth while trying extreme notes. The airflow is of utmost importance (where have we heard that before?). Most of my students try to play their notes first and then apply air. I emphasize air first and then the buzz. This allows the neck muscles to remain relaxed for the high notes and keeps their mouth open for notes in the low range. As comfort increases with these notes, begin encour-aging them to seal the embouchure with the mouthpiece. For some students this will automatically happen, and, for others, I instruct them to do it. Remember to have them blow down and fast for high notes and up and slow for low notes. For extreme high notes, I have them concen-trate on allowing the top lip to overlap and buzz against the bottom lip. I usually have them buzz right in the center of the top lip with focus on the red part of the top lip’s underside. For extreme low notes, I start just trying to get their lips to flutter (like horse lips). We do that to hear what it sounds like. From there, we work on opening their teeth and moving massive amounts of slow, warm air to make the sound open up. The concept of having a student let their lips vibrate slowly is very difficult. Having them collapse their air with a big “sigh” will help, but the name of the game for low playing is relaxation throughout their upper body. To help them learn to move between ranges, have them concentrate on their lip and embouchure position as they attain new notes. When playing scales have them move their lips to those positions as they reach each end of their range. This can seem very difficult, because most students are “locked” onto the mouthpiece as if they were glued to it. Over a period of time with practice, they can learn to slide or move their embouchure up and down as needed for the scales without breaking the seal of the mouthpiece. All in all, extreme ranges can be fun, exciting, and useful for students. Again, not something I focus all of our attention, but, with students learning more notes, I have found that they can approach more challenging music without being frightened by the range of the piece. Just eliminating the fear of extreme ranges is sometimes enough to help them progress with both basic skills and musicianship. Friendly reminder—many students like to start notes first, then blow air. I always come back to them and say—don’t forget to breathe!

As you may know, a sales tax on martial arts instruction was enacted in January, 2016. This has added a financial burden on students and martial arts schools across Washington. It has resulted in student withdrawals and closures of schools. We at the A.K.E.A. support the reversal of the sales tax on martial arts schools, and we encourage you to get involved. The Washington Martial Arts Association has been actively fundraising to keep lobbyists working on our behalf. They have hope of reversing the tax in April, but they need help. They are currently in urgent financial need in order to keep the lobbyists through March. Please see their flyer and respond if you too would like to join this fight.

# Projectile motion off a ramp DRC12 ## Homework Statement A skateboarder starts up a 1.0--high, 30 ramp at a speed of 7.9 . The skateboard wheels roll without friction. How far from the end of the ramp does the skateboarder touch down? ## Homework Equations x=x0+v0t+.5(a)(t2) v=v0+at ## The Attempt at a Solution This question seems pretty straight forward and I've found an answer but the website we use says it's wrong. First I found vx=7.9cos(30)=6.84 and vy=7.9sin(30)=3.95. I tried finding maximum y by solving vy=0=-9.8*t1 then t1=.405 and plugging that into y=1.8 then finding t2 when y=0 and y0=1.8 to get t2=.605 so ttotal=1.01 and plugging that into x=6.913 azizlwl A skateboarder starts up a 1.0--high, 30 ramp at a speed of 7.9 .

STORIES FROM THE FIELD- Odanadi's successful anti-trafficking raid in Mysore, India Our project partner, the Odanadi Seva Trust recently conducted a successful raid on 30th October 2019. This resulted in rescuing victims, capturing traffickers and the facilitator of a major trafficking ring known as Babanna who had helped orchestrate illegal trafficking across India for over a decade. The team at Odanadi was also able to identify numerous hideouts and dungeons in numerous brothels in Karnataka. Babanna was a well-known facilitator of trafficking in India and orchestrated the trafficking of thousands of girls, forcing them to stay in terrible conditions, often trapped in holes within the walls of various hideouts. Babanna specialised in designing constructions that would hide captured girls in ‘holes within walls’ and used ‘Vasthu’ (Indian tradition of construction) to protect the business of the traffickers and often charged approximately 150,000 rupees per construction. Many girls would be hidden within tabletops, TV shelves, drainage pits, showcases, tiled walls and toilets at resorts, lodges, and homestays. As a result of the successful raid, Odanadi has submitted a report to the Chief Minister of Karnataka and the State Commission of Human Rights (SHRC). The SHRC has recommended that the police department introduce a special police force to trace other hideouts in hospitality venues. This will be invaluable in helping Odanadi continue their work in ending the trafficking of girls. We are extremely proud of our partners at Odanadi who have been able to rescue thousands of girls through their work in tackling trafficking of children in India.

Second-harmonic generation (SHG) microscopy is a label-free imaging technique to study collagenous materials in extracellular matrix environment with high resolution and contrast. However, like many other microscopy techniques, the actual spatial resolution achievable by SHG microscopy is reduced by out-of-focus blur and optical aberrations that degrade particularly the amplitude of the detectable higher spatial frequencies. Being a two-photon scattering process, it is challenging to define a point spread function (PSF) for the SHG imaging modality. As a result, in comparison with other two-photon imaging systems like two-photon fluorescence, it is difficult to apply any PSF-engineering techniques to enhance the experimental spatial resolution closer to the diffraction limit. Here, we present a method to improve the spatial resolution in SHG microscopy using an advanced maximum likelihood estimation (AdvMLE) algorithm to recover the otherwise degraded higher spatial frequencies in an SHG image. Through adaptation and iteration, the AdvMLE algorithm calculates an improved PSF for an SHG image and enhances the spatial resolution by decreasing the full-width-at-halfmaximum (FWHM) by ∼20%. Similar results are consistently observed for biological tissues with varying SHG sources, such as gold nanoparticles and collagen in porcine feet tendons. By obtaining an experimental transverse spatial resolution of ∼400 nm, we show that the AdvMLE algorithm brings the practical spatial resolution closer to the theoretical diffraction limit. Our approach is suitable for adaptation in micro-nano CT and MRI imaging, which has the potential to impact diagnosis and treatment of human diseases.

There are plenty of reasons to hate Microsoft. But in my mind, PowerPoint isn’t one of them. Now, don’t get me wrong, it is very easy to make a bad presentation in PowerPoint and yes, Microsoft has designed PowerPoint to facilitate that by defaulting to bullet points. So no, they aren’t completely innocent. But in general PowerPoint gets a bad rap. To mangle an old adage, PowerPoint doesn’t make bad presentations, people do. PowerPoint actually has some pretty amazing features to help you tell your story (the essence of a great presentation) and you don’t need to know much. The problem is how people use it. I was once assisting a good sized non-profit organization with the development of a high impact presentation that they wanted to use to tell their story and bring in new members. I worked with them to think about their audience, the main points that would resonant and then stories from their work that would illustrate their points. We then collected interesting visuals to help illustrate their ideas throughout their presentation and scripted out some basic jumping off points for each slide and before we knew it, we had the makings of a pretty good presentation. But then something curious happened. When I went back to the group and showed them the final version, a clean presentation with graphics and almost no text, the response I got back was shock and dismay. “How am I going to know what to present for each slide?” “Where are all my bullet points?” “How is the audience going to remember my key ideas?” I held fast, “The audience is going to remember your stories, not the bullet points. And, well, yes, you will need to practice, but the slides are meant for your audience not you.” That didn’t go over so well and while I got compliments on all the graphics and pictures, I also got a knowing, “We’ll take it from here.” The presentation soon digressed into nice visuals with lots of bullets and the stories slipped into lists and facts. In essence, a teleprompter for the presenters (great for anchormen, not so interesting for audiences). So can PowerPoints be used to make great presentations? Of course, but not in lieu of two key things from the presenter: 1. A presenter ready to shoulder his or her half of the effort. That means practice and that means the slides are for the audience not the presenter. 2. A mind set shift from talking through bullet points, linearly going from fact to fact. To providing a personal narrative of the journey of the project. People learn from stories. Of course, with that said there are many other great tips to making a great presentation, so here is one of the best PowerPoints I’ve seen titled, “You Suck At PowerPoint! 5 Shocking Design Mistakes You Need to Avoid.” A very funny, yet instructive take on making a great presentation. Take a look and let me know what your top tip or hate of PowerPoint is. *Image courtesy of The Venture Edge*

The biggest thing holding your reps back is their lack of self-assurance. Reps turn into confident sellers when they feel supported. And while legacy sales enablement platforms help with onboarding, they don’t actually support your reps in their flow of work when they get stuck. Your LMS and CMS don’t talk to each other, meaning reps fail to connect the dots and close deals Sales training programs can help – but reps forget 70% of what they’ve learned within a week of joining the front line So much to remember Plus, reps often feel overwhelmed by everything they have to remember before, during, and after a sale Finally, an LMS with sales readiness built-in Accelerate rep time to proficiency Interactive courses, lessons, and quizzes help your reps sharpen their skills during onboarding. So they can learn more quickly about your solutions, the competitive landscape, and how to sell it. Personalize content based on rep profiles Don’t force every rep to go through the same sales training programs and materials.

The student union exuded a South Asian motif in preparation for the evening's festivities. Curtains of pale lilac and blue hung over a tiny stage, littered with pillows. A large Persian rug extended from beneath the stage, providing audience members with an alternative to traditional seating. Roshni means light in Hindi. Junior Sheela Bringi, and co-president of SAMECAO, the South Asian Middle Eastern Cultural Awareness Org., said the title reflected the goal of the event, which was to raise funds for earthquake victims while bringing forth "the light of cultural understanding." The event celebrated two South Asian holidays: Eid, a Muslim holiday concluding the holy month of Ramadan and Diwali, a Hindu festival observing the end of the new year. Brinda Mehta, a French professor and the faculty advisor for SAMECAO, said the club chose Eid and Diwali as the theme for the event as the two holidays fall on similar dates this year; Diwali on Nov. 1 and Eid on Nov. 3. Planning for the celebration escalated when a powerful earthquake devestated the border of Pakistan and India on Oct.8. The event Roshni, hosted by SAMECAO, featured student performances, traditional music and delicious food. The celebration took place on Nov.11 and was followed by a two-hour after-party. All proceeds were donated to The Citizens Foundation relief fund for victims of the South Asian earthquake. "The driving force behind it was the earthquake in South Asia," Mehta said. "We thought 'Why not have a celebration of life when there has already been so much suffering?'" She added that they also hoped the event would "create cultural understanding through music and art." Senior Fiza Asar, and co-president of SAMECAO, said demonstrating religious tolerance and the bond between South Asian peoples was also a priority. She said the club found it symbolic that the dire situation of the earthquake has brought together Hindu and Muslim peoples. "The two groups are traditionally, not very friendly towards each other," she said. "This event is dedicated to rekindling hope through solidarity." Junior, Sheela Bringi, Deana Suarez-Vargas, a music student, and Brijillio Guevara played traditional Colombian music while audience members took their seats. Bringi played the bamboo flute while Suarez and Guevara accompanied her on Colombian drums. The vibrant music and rich scent of South Asian dishes provided a sensory pleasing experience. Students and public safety officers alike helped themselves to samosas, chicken curry and naan as Bringi concluded the music session. The festivities of the evening showcased South Asian culture through dance performances, poetry readings and traditional music. Shulpa Arora, a graduate student, read three of her poems; Krystle Ahmadyar, a sophomore, performed a traditional Afghan dance. Ahmadyar said she was thrilled to have the opportunity to perform at Mills. "Within Afghan culture, women are not supposed to dance for people, yet I do because it's so beautiful," she said. Other highlights of the event included musical performances by Ali Hakimi and Ferhan Qureshi on the tabla, a pair of Indian drums. Hakimi and Qureshi are members of Dhamaal SF, a South Asian music group well known in the Bay Area. Hakimi explained the musical style while he and Qureshi belted out Pakistani and Indian rhythms. Wallace Harvey, a violinist from the Ali Akbar school of music, provided additional accompaniment for some of the pieces while Bringi played her flute with the group towards the end of the event. The festivities concluded with Sonia Mann, a Bay Area professional dancer, performing improvised Indian dance to the accompaniment of Qureshi and Harvey. Mann also performed earlier in the program, showcasing Kathak, a classical dance style from Northern India. Her presence could be felt even when she wasn't performing as she often tapped her feet in rhythm to the tabla, the bands of bells attached to her legs providing a delicate tempo. Arora was grateful to all of the performers for volunteering their time. "The performances were great and there was a lot of talent," she said. Asar agreed and was particularly thankful to Dhamaal, who waived their usual performance fee in favor of supporting SAMECAO's relief efforts. Qureshi said it was the least they could do. "It's our honor to be here," he said. More than 70 people packed the student union. Mills students, faculty and Bay Area residents filled every chair available as well as the Persian rug. Sonia Fazli, a sophomore from UC Berkeley, said she learned about the event from a Muslim networking site. "I'm part Afghan and when I heard there would be an Afghan dance I was particularly excited [because] it's not very common." In addition, Fazli said she enjoyed the tabla performances, which is one of her favorite types of music. Sophomore Jessica Jackson also appreciated the music and dance performances. "I came because I wanted to experience their presentation of their culture," she said. "The violin was just amazing." Several SAMECAO members said they felt the event was a success and hoped audience members gained a greater sense of South Asian culture. Mehta said she would like students to advocate for a greater South Asian presence at Mills in the form of additional faculty and curriculum. "I hope we created more understanding on our campus since South Asia is so invisible." She said the club plans to host a major event each semester and that may return next year. Bringi said she was simply grateful that everything turned out well. "I think there were unexpected twists and turns yet in the end the spirit of the event was able to overcome the obstacles," she said. Asar couldn't agree more. "Our hard work paid off!"

– The principles of Agenda 2063 focus on solidarity, a sense of unity, and a greater sense of the African spirit – Counter-terrorism strategy in Africa aims to mobilize and improve the economic conditions of the continent’s citizens. The first workshop of World Youth Forum 2018 was held on Thursday 1st of November, entitled ” Agenda 2063 … The Africa we want”, which aims at raise awareness of Agenda 2063 and stimulating youth participation, as well as sharing experiences; in order to come up with a set of solutions and innovations that will help in achieving the Agenda. Dr. Khaled Hanafi, the researcher on African Affairs, at the beginning of the workshop stressed that development is the main objective of the workshop. He then held a discussion with the youth, who presented their visions and aspirations on the continent and stressed on their wish to have one African passport for crossing borders. One of them suggested that an electronic platform should be created to facilitate access to employment opportunities in the continent, also one of them raised the problem of counterfeit drugs in the African continent, which leads to an increase in the mortality rate. Hanafi said that the essence of Agenda 2063 is UBUNTO – the humanitarian concept of the Zulu culture of South Africa – meaning “You are a human being. You are helping others.” He added that Agenda 2063 is not isolated from the past, since it benefited from previous experiences in African cooperation, starting with the creation of the African Union in 1963, which aimed at liberating the countries of the continent and its economic development, and the subsequent forms of cooperation such as COMESA and ECOWAS. He then reviewed the principles of the agenda: solidarity, feeling of unity and maximizing the sense of the African spirit. He pointed out that the objectives of the agenda are: development, whether by facing poverty or increasing investment, in addition to African integration, security and the restoration of African values and identities. All goals in building Africa’s strength in the international community. At the end of his speech, Dr. Hanafi hoped that youth will have a great role in implementing their strategies, which depend on the good education, training and combating terrorism. Ahmed Askar, the expert on African affairs in Al-Ahram, spoke about combating terrorism on the African continent through four themes: the reality of terrorism in Africa, the map of terrorist organizations in the continent and regional efforts in the face of terrorism and terrorism in Africa’s agenda. He explained that terrorism is one of the biggest obstacles facing the continent, with the increase in the number of terrorist organizations in recent years, which has become a regional extension to neighboring countries, such as: terrorist movement “Boko Haram” in Nigeria, and the Somali youth movement, adding that national statistics showed that the African continent has 64 terrorist organizations, as well as it includes the most dangerous terrorist spots in the world; which threatens human security. He added that the counter-terrorism strategy aims at mobilizing and improving the economic conditions of the continent’s citizens, social integration, increasing the capabilities of the armed forces, and motivating citizens to report terrorist movements. Participants attributed the causes of the spread of terrorism in Africa to: poverty, ignorance, external interference, high unemployment, political and religious conflicts, attempts to control various resources, speeches inciting hatred and violence, border control by governments. At the end of the meeting, Askar stressed that Africa is rich with resources that make it stand among the developed countries, and that development in Africa is coorellated with security. There is no security without development or development without security. He stressed that the achievement of development is fundamentally linked to reducing threats of terrorist organizations. The various foci of conflict on the African continent.

Minnesota Town Surrounds Injured Farmer With Help After He Saved A Puppy FARMERS HELPING FARMERS There is something special about growing up in a farming community. Farmers know that their lives depend on their crops and their livestock, and rain or shine, the work has to be done. The Frost community here in Minnesota recently came together for a fellow farmer in need after an accident left him unable to get his crops in. In mid-August, Scott Legreid was driving his big truck to pick up some gravel when he swerved to avoid hitting a German Shepherd puppy that was in the road. The swerve, however, caused his truck to crash into a cornfield. Scott said that he was unconscious, and when he came to he couldn't move. Luckily, A woman driving by called 911. 600 ACRES OF CROPS Scott ended up in the hospital with a concussion, broken collar bone, seven broken ribs, a collapsed lung, and two broken vertebrae. Scott is 50 years old, lives alone, and has two seasonal workers that help him bring in his 600 acres of corn and beans each year. He was seriously worried about how that was going to happen this year. AREA LOCALS TALK ABOUT HELPING SCOTT But this amazing community came to Scott's rescue without hesitation. According to an article on Facebook, farmers from Frost and surrounding towns got their combines, trucks, and wagons to Scott's farm, and worked 240 acres in about 4 hours, an incredible accomplishment considering it would take at least a week or maybe more if Scott had to do it on his own. Tim Steier, a local farmer in the area said, "After the St. Peter tornado, he was up there, after the flooding in Grand Forks he was up there and helped. This is farm country. The generosity started right away." This isn't the first time the community has come together to help Scott. They also helped him when he lost his father to cancer many years earlier. Lori Osland said, "He would do this for somebody else in a heartbeat, so he's just that kind of a guy that we just felt that we needed to do this for him."

Tuxedo Ragdoll cats are distinguished by their striking black and white coat pattern, which may stem from a gene causing white patches on their black fur. The exact origins and genetics of these cats remain debated among experts. Nonetheless, Tuxedo Ragdolls have caught the eyes of cat lovers for years thanks to their beautiful coats and gentle charm. How Tuxedo Ragdoll Cats Gained Popularity? People love Tuxedo Ragdolls for their neat black-and-white pattern. This pattern looks like a fancy suit, so they got named Tuxedo Cats. Their coat is not the only thing people like about them. They have a laid-back personality that is very charming. These cats are also brilliant. Their big brains make them fun pets to play with. But not just their looks and cool nature made them popular. People started to see more of these gentle giants on TV and in movies, too! Plus, famous people started choosing Tuxedo Ragdolls as their pets. All this fame helped the breed become one of the most loved worldwide. Formal Recognition of Tuxedo Ragdoll Cats This means they are like other Ragdoll cats but have unique coat colors. While these black and white kitties stand out, they have no official group. Groups and clubs that love cats do not list Tuxedo Ragdolls as a separate kind of cat. They look different from other Ragdolls but are part of the same family. Even when you want to buy a Tuxedo Ragdoll, you won’t find them listed separately for sale. Their prices also don’t differ because they aren’t a different type of cat within the breed. In short, while Tuxedo Rags might have their style, they blend into the larger Ragdoll family without any special status. Unique Facts About Tuxedo Cats Tuxedo cats are not rare, and they may have magical powers. They were worshiped in ancient Egypt, and one particular tuxie was a millionaire. Tuxies are popular with famous people, and the richest cat in the world is a tuxedo cat. The Tuxedo Coloring Comes From Their Genes Tuxedo cats get their unique coat from their genes. This special pattern is in both boy and girl cats. Their black coats have spots where the color does not show up. These spots are often on the paws, chest, whiskers, and belly. This is because a white-spotting gene hides the black color on certain parts of their bodies. You can make a tuxedo cat by breeding a Ragdoll cat with another type of cat that has genes for black and white colors. There Are Several Types of Tuxedo Cats Tuxedo cats come in several different types based on their coat patterns. These cats have distinctive tuxedo coloration, with black coats and white patches that resemble a formal suit. While most tuxedo cats are black and white, there are also variations with other colors, such as orange or gray. The tuxedo pattern is not specific to a particular breed but can be found in various cat breeds and even mixed-breed cats. Each tuxedo cat has unique colors and markings, making them truly one-of-a-kind pets. Tuxedo Cats Are Smarter Than the Average Cat Tuxedo cats are known for being smarter than the average cat. Many tuxedo cat owners believe their pets are more intelligent than cats with different coat patterns. This can be attributed to their elegant appearance and unique combination of black coats and white patches, which may indicate a higher level of intelligence. Tuxedo Ragdolls, a crossbreed between tuxedo cats and Ragdoll cats, is also thought to possess a superior intellect. These cats have gained a reputation for being exceptionally intelligent among various breeds. Tuxedo Cats Are Not Rare The Tuxedo cats are not considered rare. While they may have a unique black and white coat pattern, numerous tuxedo cats are out there. Finding a black cat with a tuxedo color pattern at your local animal shelter can be quite lucky! Although they are not recognized as a specific feline breed by various cat associations, tuxedo cats exist. They are officially known as “bi-color cats” and can come in different and mixed breeds. So, if you’re looking for a friendly and elegant companion with an eye-catching coat, consider adopting a tuxedo cat – you might find the perfect match!

Tuxedo Cats Might Have Magical Powers Tuxedo cats might seem ordinary, but there’s something special about them. Many people believe that these cats have magical powers! One reason for this belief is that tuxedo cats can be almost invisible in the dark. Their black and white coat helps them blend into their surroundings, making them hard to spot. In ancient times, they were even worshipped as symbols of magic and mystery by Egyptian goddesses. While we may not fully understand their supposed magical abilities, one thing is for sure – tuxedo cats are genuinely unique and captivating creatures. Tuxies Were Worshiped in Ancient Egypt Ancient Egyptians believed that tuxedo cats were very lucky and brought good fortune. They thought of them as special companions and even worshiped them. In ancient Egyptian culture, images of tuxedo cats were highly respected and considered sacred. These cats were believed to bring immense luck and favor from the gods.

As the growth of online businesses continues at an exponential pace, more and more investors are seeking opportunities to purchase these thriving businesses. This creates tremendous opportunities for seasoned SaaS or e-commerce operators who may lack the capital themselves to purchase an online business to partner with investors who are eager to provide the capital so that the operators can take businesses to the next level. The terms of these partnerships tend to resemble private equity deals, but many operators and some newer investors may not know how those deals work or what the options are in structuring investor-operator partnerships. In big private equity deals, operators are compensated with a combination of salary and options. The salary provides the operator with downside protection to provide peace of mind and financial security. The options are more complicated. As a reminder, options give the recipient the right to purchase shares or interests of a business at a certain price (the “strike price”). Whether to exercise the option is up to the operator, and there is a time limit during which an option can be exercised. Under most circumstances, options will be exercised if the value of the shares/interests is higher than the strike price and won’t be exercised if the strike price is higher than the value of the shares/interests. The source of the complexity of private equity deals is that private equity firms issue operators options in multiple tranches at different strike prices. This creates incentives for the operator to work hard and make the business more valuable as doing so will mean more of the operator’s options are “in the money” and can be exercised at a profit by the operator. Depending on the size of the deal for a SaaS or E-Commerce partnership, it may not be worth the time and effort to go through the full process that would take place in a private equity deal. Tax considerations or corporate simplicity may also favor a simpler approach. There are many options for structuring these deals, though, and some combination of those options can achieve what should be the goal in forming an investor-operator partnership—aligning incentives to grow the business. Below are some of the common tools for structuring investor-operator partnerships. This is the simplest form of compensation. In exchange for a working a set amount of time or for performing particular services, the operator is paid an amount of money. This would most likely be in the form of W-2 income, though certain arrangements could also be structured as 1099 contractor income. Salary functions as a floor for operator compensation, but is more guaranteed than the other options. Full-time operators probably need a salary in order to meet their financial obligations, but a larger salary probably means a smaller amount of upside going to the operator. This is what most people think about when hearing the phrase “joint venture.” Under a revenue sharing agreement, the operator will receive a certain percentage of the money the business generates from sales. A revenue sharing agreement can be with an individual as an employee or with another company (which could include an operator working as an LLC). The simplest form of revenue sharing is a flat percentage, but there can also be tiered revenue sharing agreements where an operator receives a larger percentage of the business’s revenues as those revenues increase. Revenue sharing can be a way for an operator to capture more of the value generated during the time a business is owned, but the operator will not receive any portion of the sale price should the business be sold. Equity sharing arrangements make operators and investors “partners” in the sense that both own a portion of the business. This is “sweat equity” that is common for startup founders and employees. The two most important aspects of equity sharing agreements are how much equity the operator will receive and what the operator needs to do to receive that equity. The standard for a Silicon Valley VC-backed startup is that a founder will be on a four-year vesting schedule with a one-year cliff. This means that the founder’s equity will vest over a period of four years, but if the founder leaves during the first year that founder will not receive any equity (the “cliff”). Once the cliff is reached, equity will vest in equal installments, usually monthly or quarterly. The time horizon can be shorter for SaaS or E-commerce plays where the goal is to grow and sell the business within 18 or 24 months. This can be handled through accelerating the vesting schedule, which is something that operators will want to make sure is in place. For operators, getting equity has the dual benefits of capturing some of the upside value of a potential sale and providing some amount of control over the direction of the business. The extent of the operator’s control will be negotiated, but some of the other methods of compensation do not offer operators any corporate control. It is common that even where the investor is providing most of the capital, the operator will still contribute a percentage of the purchase price to gain upfront equity in the business. This is an arrangement borrowed from private equity and venture capital fund structures where the fund managers invest their own money into the fund. The rationale behind this is that the operator is less likely to walk away from the business if growth is slower than expected since the operator has invested his own money and already owns a portion of the company separate and apart from potential equity or revenue through some other arrangement. Using options grants brings the full private equity model and into the context of SaaS and E-Commerce businesses. The key considerations in negotiating options grants are the quantity of options and the strike price. Quantity should be simple to understand, but calibrating the strike price (particularly if there are going to be multiple tranches of options) can be tricky. This challenge can be magnified by the difficulty in valuing businesses that are privately held, but increasing knowledge of sales multiples in different SaaS and E-Commerce multiples is reducing the difficulty of providing a realistic valuation. The difficulty of establishing correct strike prices for multiple tranches of options can drag out the process of forming an operator-investor partnership and so may not be appropriate in every circumstance. A few considerations about options that may not be obvious for operators are taxes and a lack of control. In most of these deals there will not be options given at a lower strike price than the fair market value of the shares or interests, but if there are then the difference between the strike price and the fair market value is considered income by the IRS (even if the operator has not received cash to be able to pay such taxes). There is also a lack of control if operators receive options as they will not have all of the rights that come with being a shareholder/member in the company before they exercise the options to purchase shares or interests. Phantom equity is a construct premised on stock or membership interests only having value in the event of an exit. Phantom equity vests just like regular equity, in accordance with a time schedule, meeting performance metrics, or some combination of those methods. Unlike regular equity, though, holders of phantom equity are not on the cap table of the company. Phantom equity will automatically convert should an exit event take place, but there can be complications based on the wording of the phantom equity plan documents. Operators need to make sure they understand the intricacies of phantom equity before accepting it as phantom equity offers fewer protections than normal equity does. In most circumstances, phantom equity heavily favors investors and forces operators to continue working in the company to avoid losing all accrued equity in the case of an exit event even in situations where regular equity would have fully vested if another method of compensation had been used. Incentive Structures and Summary Any of these methods described above can be tied to incentives. After all, aligning incentives between investors and operators is the purpose of these agreements. The simplest incentive structure is a cash bonus. Historically, businesses distributed cash bonuses to employees in December as a thank you for staying with the company another year. Such time-based bonuses still exist but probably don’t apply to these partnerships. Much more likely would be a cash payment based on meeting a particular milestone in the business. The milestone can be any key metric, but some common ones include the amount of sales, the number of new customers, and the growth in revenue measured against a prior period of time (quarterly, annually, etc.). Equity, revenue sharing, and options grants can similarly be linked to such milestones. There can also be a combination of different compensation structures. For example, there could be a salary plus incentive-based equity distributions with the operator having some initial equity from contributing upfront capital as part of the purchase price (this being probably the most standard type of deal structure). There can be differences in tax treatment between different compensation structures too, so depending on the amounts involved it may be in everyone’s interests to involve the accountants during the process of negotiating compensation and equity distribution when an investor and an operator join forces to purchase and/or build an online business together.

It's become conventional wisdom among the punditocracy that former South Carolina governor and UN ambassador Nikki Haley is on track to be the first woman Republican presidential nominee. She's one of the few members of the Trump administration to escape with their reputations more or less intact, even having gotten away with publicly disagreeing with the president from time to time and remaining in his good graces. There have been persistent rumors that now that he knows the conservative evangelical voters are his most loyal Christian soldiers, Trump has been thinking about dropping his sycophantic wingman, Vice President Mike Pence, in favor of the charismatic Haley as his re-election running mate. Some people believe having her on the ticket might be helpful since so many women in this country are violently repelled by him. In a sane world, Haley would be an obvious choice for either spot on a GOP ticket. She is a Southerner, and she's accomplished and experienced while also being anti-feminist and very conservative. As the daughter of Indian immigrants, she is also a woman of color, which not too long ago was considered an asset for a party that boasts very few nonwhite members and is in desperate need of somehow refuting the notion that it has become a de facto white nationalist political party in a country that is more and more diverse. After Mitt Romney's loss to Barack Obama in 2012, the GOP did a full post mortem — driven largely by then-House Speaker Paul Ryan — that concluded the party needed to do serious outreach to minority voters or risk becoming a permanent minority itself. But then Trump happened. And now the party couldn't refute its white nationalist ideology even if it tried, or more to the point even if it wanted to. Over the course of the last few days, the president and his accomplices in the Congress and throughout the rest of the GOP leadership have demonstrated that they are all in. Haley has had nothing to say about Trump's repeated racist rants on twitter and TV about the four Democratic congresswomen going "back to where they came from" because they "hate America." Her only tweet since it started was the following vague irrelevance on Sunday morning. Since then she's tweeted about Wimbledon and a cute baby but she's had nothing to say about Trump's scandalous commentary. You can't blame exactly her. It's uncomfortable for Haley to say anything, since her parents are immigrants and all. And frankly, rank-and-file GOP voters are making it clear that they like Trump's upfront white nationalism as much as the official white nationalists do. Early polling shows that Trump is actually gaining support among Republicans for his overt racism (while losing support from independents), which suggests that Haley will not be able to paper over this diversity problem while keeping the racist voters on the team. The GOP base doesn't want to paper it over. Trump has liberated them from all pretense. But there's another Republican woman who looks like she's making a move. That would be third-term congresswoman Liz Cheney of Wyoming, who now holds the third most powerful position in the House GOP leadership. Unlike Haley she isn't reluctant to join the fight. In fact, she was waging online wars with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., well before Trump's recent Twitter tantrums. Cheney has established that she can take on the traditional VP role of attack dog by being almost as vicious as the president himself. On Tuesday she delivered a fiery denunciation of the four progressive women of color whom Trump has been vilifying for days, brazenly asserting that in spite of all the evidence he has provided, the complaints about them have nothing to do with their race, religion or gender. Instead, she embellished the script every GOP official but Trump is following by saying that the issue is their determination to destroy the country with their allegedly socialist views: It must be pointed out that the GOP outrage over these Democrats' alleged failure to recognize that America is "the greatest nation that ever existed" is thick with irony. Their own president delivered an inaugural address known as the "American Carnage" speech. As far as he's concerned, every American leader for the last 60 years or so has been an embarrassment who turned the U.S. into a weak and subservient nation, laughed at and exploited by every other country in the world. Cheney is clever. She let Trump do the dirty work of saying out loud what the base wants to hear. Then she piled on with a long laundry list of lies, tying a fantasy Democratic ideology to Trump's racist, Islamophobic, misogynist commentary without ever having to say the words herself. She has a talent for going for the jugular in a more traditional way that might just reassure any wavering GOP female voters that she represents a return to the old-fashioned Republican insults they know and love — racist dog-whistles and red-baiting. At the moment, there's a lot of speculation that Cheney will run for the Wyoming U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Republican Sen. Mike Enzi. Polls show she would win the primary against another woman who has already announced, which means she would almost certainly win the seat in one of the reddest of red states. It's also true she's on the leadership fast track in the Republican House caucus, and may stay put there, believing that's her best springboard to higher office. Whatever she chooses, she will be a powerful force in Republican politics. Liz Cheney is almost certainly thinking about running for president, as is Nikki Haley. But at this point in the GOP's evolution, only one of them will be seen by most Trump-crazed Republican voters as a leader they can trust. It won't be the woman of color whose parents came to America to start a new life. It's the white woman who's an authoritarian nationalist with a Republican establishment pedigree a mile long, who eagerly marches in lockstep with the president.

Q: My present spiritual advisors perceive Christianity and Buddhism as basically incompatible, principally because of the Buddhist idea of the Void. As a Christian with Buddhist training, I’ve never considered this a problem. Could you elaborate briefly on the compatibility or incompatibility of Christian ideas of the Divine (personal God) and the Buddhist concept of the Void? — J.P., Michigan A: +Dear J.P., the God space is so vast that different space missions may bring back seemingly contradictory reports. When we speak of God, we should expect such paradoxes as fullness and emptiness. In fact, since all the opposites arise from God and are one in God, we should be suspicious of any God talk that is not paradoxical. From early on, Christian theology has been aware that whatever we say about God, no matter how true, falls infinitely short of the full truth. (This strand of theology is called Negative or Apophatic Theology.) The emptiness of which Buddhists speak is, paradoxically, also the source of all fullness. Don’t try to correct your spiritual advisors. Just add in your own mind what is missing. In controversies, as has been observed, most people are correct in what they affirm, but wrong in what they deny. — Your Brother David

Kick your home fries up a notch with this firecracker dipping sauce. Mustard and cayenne pepper give it a kick, while honey softens the blow–but only a little! Definitely not for the faint of spice-heart. I’m a dipper. I can’t eat dry food, and I hate watching others do it! I dip EVERYTHING, fries, meat, cookies, you name it. Eating out I’m 100% guaranteed to ask for extra sauce on the side…maybe two. I’m constantly on the lookout for the next best sauce. Extra points if it’s SPICY! This recipe has a little sweet and a LOT of spice. I made it with home fries, but it would be great for dipping wings, or even veggies. Anything, really. I use this brand of mustard powder, but any will do! Mustard often gets a bad rap, but it’s one of my favorite ingredients. Using mustard in a recipe won’t make your food taste like the yellow stuff you squeeze on a hot dog. Instead, it will add depth, tang, and a little heat. A word of warning: When I say “Firecracker Dipping Sauce,” I mean it. This sauce is HOT. Of course you can pull back on the cayenne pepper–like I did in a small batch before feeding it to my toddler–but just know if you follow my exact instructions, your mouth will be ablaze. But, if you’re like me, that’s your only goal when eating food. Firecracker Dipping Sauce - 1 Cup Mayonnaise - 1/4 Cup Honey - 1 TBS Apple Cider Vinegar - 2 tsp Mustard Powder - 2 tsp Cayenne Pepper (add more or less, according to taste) - 2 tsp Garlic Salt - Mix all ingredients until smooth. Serve with anything. Watch this recipe, and some other great mustard recipes here: Thanks for stopping by my little corner of the internet. I sure hope you don’t leave hungry.

SweetSatya® - I am wishing all my customers and inhabitants of our planet wellness today, April 3, 2020, during our great transition to the "Stay Home-Quarantine" experience. The way we live has changed so drastically for all of us and My Healing Heart Goes Out To Our Planet At This Time. Please know it's very difficult for me to write about buying Crystal jewelry and act as if it's business as usual when it's clearly not. In my mind jewelry is something that makes you feel better and brings more joy to people's lives, however, I don't want to ignore the reality and hardships our planet is going through. My vision is to see us restored to a "Better Us" after The Corona Virus Pandemic 2020 is all said and done. With this COVID-19 pandemic 2020, SweetSatya® Retail Partners' lovely stores across the United States are temporarily closed; therefore I am featuring much more Crystal, Mineral, and Fossil goodies to www.sweetsatya.com Especially those Malas that were exclusively sold to my retail partners. Check out @sweetsatyasearthenart for a wider selection and DM me. The SweetSatya® warehouse has been in quarantine since June 2019. I do not allow buyers, visitors, or additional workers ever onsite SweetSatya®. All packaging and shipping materials are currently being sterilized on the curb of USPS with Lysol Spray before being brought into my car and then into my shipping area. Its been my standard for many years now that all raw material is thoroughly cleaned and sterilized before production begins, mostly because of the foreign countries that the Crystals, Minerals, Fossils, and Cordings come from. Thank you for taking the time to read this and for choosing SweetSatya®, I know there are many places to choose from.

This month we delivered our new equipment data service (EDS) capability to more than 150 customer organizations globally. Leading customers adopted the system shortly after release of Scale-up Suite 2 in July 2021; now we are formally going live for everyone. This SQL database backed approach to managing your equipment data has many advantages compared to the old system of requiring users to find and import our industry-standard Excel-based template, in use since 2011. It is also the only supported way to retrieve your equipment data into the latest version of our mixing and heat transfer toolbox after 30 June 2022. Features include secure user account based access control, easy access from any device and a change log for traceability. We have made the administrators of your EDS the same people who are administrators of your Dynochem license. We have sent your admins (custodians of your database) simple instructions to populate the service with your equipment information and make it available to you. For users, as this capability is rolled out, you will start to see the Vessel Update button becoming active in your Dynochem 6 ribbon. Other benefits of adoption include: - Your continued ability to use the latest version of the mixing toolbox with your equipment data after 30 June. The toolbox will no longer have an Excel file Import button, so the only way to include your organization's equipment in the toolbox will be using the EDS (Vessel Update button in the ribbon) - The latest version of the toolbox (30 June) will include a fuller range of Mettler Toledo lab vessels you can easily choose, apply or edit for your applications - Users no longer need to know ‘where the vessel database file is’, to copy and paste it's web address or to browse to locate it on the network - Users can access equipment information in any Excel workbook, using the Catalist and Properties buttons on the DC Excel ribbon - Users on any device can access and view your equipment through a simple web browser interface; they do not need Scale-up Suite installed to do this; they need only to have a scale-up account and be listed on a current valid Dynochem license - The EDS is a foundation for future enhancements that leverage access to equipment data for many other everyday applications - The EDS will support a greater number of database fields, requested by customers to better describe your broad range of equipment types, including biologics set-ups.

Blueland bottles are made of durable, shatter-resistant plastic, not glass. They are designed to be endlessly reusable with the aim of reducing single-use plastic waste. Blueland has taken a unique approach to sustainability by offering cleaning products in the form of tablets or powders, which can be mixed with water in their reusable bottles. These bottles are crafted from high-quality plastic that is designed to withstand multiple uses without the risk of breaking like glass might. This makes them a safer and more practical option for households, especially those with children or pets. - Material: High-quality, reusable plastic - Durability: Shatter-resistant, designed for long-term use - Sustainability: Reduces the need for single-use plastics Choose Blueland’s plastic bottles for a sustainable cleaning solution that marries convenience with eco-friendliness. Blueland Bottle Materials Explained You frequently ask, ‘Are Blueland bottles made of glass or plastic?’ Let’s dive into the materials used in Blueland bottles. Blueland bottles are made of durable, shatter-resistant acrylic, a type of plastic known for its strength and clarity. This material is commonly used in premium and innovative packaging due to its sustainability and versatility. Unlike traditional single-use plastic bottles, Blueland’s acrylic bottles are designed to be reused, reducing the environmental impact of packaging waste. The use of acrylic aligns with Blueland’s commitment to sustainability and innovation, offering a durable and eco-friendly alternative to single-use plastic. Environmental Impact of Blueland Bottles What impact does the use of durable, reusable acrylic bottles have on the environment compared to traditional single-use plastic bottles? Here are three key points to consider: - Reduced Waste: Acrylic bottles, like those used by Blueland, significantly reduce plastic waste as they’re designed for long-term use, unlike single-use plastic bottles that contribute to the growing plastic pollution problem. - Energy Efficiency: Acrylic bottles require less energy to produce and transport compared to single-use plastic bottles, resulting in a lower carbon footprint and reduced environmental impact. - Resource Conservation: By choosing durable acrylic bottles, you contribute to the conservation of natural resources, as fewer raw materials are needed to produce and replace bottles, thus reducing the strain on the environment. Making the switch to reusable acrylic bottles can have a positive environmental impact, aligning with the innovative mindset of sustainability and responsible consumption. Comparing Blueland Glass and Plastic Bottles Blueland offers both glass and plastic bottles for its cleaning products, providing customers with options to suit their preferences and needs. The glass bottles are durable, reusable, and designed to reduce single-use plastic waste. They’re also aesthetically pleasing and can be easily refilled with Blueland’s cleaning tablets. On the other hand, plastic bottles are lightweight and convenient for on-the-go use. They’re made from PET plastic, which is recyclable and has a lower carbon footprint compared to traditional plastic. Both options have their unique benefits, allowing customers to make choices based on their lifestyle and sustainability goals. Durability and Longevity of Blueland Bottles The durability and longevity of Blueland bottles depend on proper care and maintenance to ensure their continued usability and effectiveness. To maximize the lifespan of your Blueland bottles, consider the following: - Careful Handling: Handle your Blueland bottles with care to prevent accidental drops or impacts that may compromise their structural integrity. - Regular Cleaning: Clean your bottles regularly and thoroughly to prevent the buildup of residue or odors, preserving their quality over time. - Proper Storage: Store your bottles in a safe and stable environment to prevent unnecessary wear and tear, ensuring they remain in optimal condition for an extended period. Disposal and Recycling of Blueland Bottles To ensure the proper disposal and recycling of your Blueland bottles, follow your local recycling guidelines and check for any specific instructions regarding the appropriate handling of the bottles. When it comes to recycling Blueland bottles, it’s important to be aware of the specific recycling guidelines in your area. Here’s a simple guide to help you understand the potential options for disposal and recycling: |Check local guidelines for glass recycling or find a glass drop-off location |Look for plastic recycling facilities in your area or find a drop-off location |Check for specialized recycling programs or consult with local waste management Blueland bottles are made of durable, reusable glass, making them a sustainable choice for reducing plastic waste. The environmental impact of using glass bottles over plastic is significant, and the longevity and recyclability of Blueland bottles further contribute to their eco-friendly appeal. As the saying goes, ‘reduce, reuse, recycle,’ and Blueland bottles embody this adage by offering a long-lasting, environmentally responsible option for everyday use.

Lisbon, 8 June, 2020 – On this year’s World Oceans Day, ANP|WWF and Oceano Azul Foundation launched the Declaration for a Blue Economy, defending the importance of the Ocean to be considered an integral part of a just and sustainable economic recovery for Portugal. In the Declaration, ANP|WWF and the Oceano Azul Foundation point out three paths to a blue agenda within the recovery plan for the national economy: protecting and recovering marine life, transitioning to a sustainable, circular economy, and reinforcing the role of Portugal as an international leader in the ocean agenda. The two organisations established an agreement of collaborating over a period of three years. Both assert that Portugal must look to the ocean, including this fundamental resource and asset in its national discourse, as well as political and economic options, in particular regarding the Portuguese economy. “It is essential that Portugal does not miss the opportunity to make the ocean that defines and distinguishes us a part of the solution. The ocean is a fundamental link in this chain of life and health and must be considered in the political discourse and action of the post-pandemic economic recovery,” the Declaration reads. Ângela Morgado, Executive Director of ANP|WWF says that “The absence of the critical role of the Ocean in the discourse on Portugal’s post-pandemic recovery is clear. Portugal has more maritime area than any other European country. We depend on our Ocean not only for food, but also to sequester carbon, produce oxygen and absorb heat, at a time when the global temperature continues to rise. It is essential that the integrity of our Ocean is properly considered in the economic recovery plan, as it is fundamental for our own survival. ” For Tiago Pitta e Cunha, CEO of the Oceano Azul Foundation, ““The relationship between the ocean and the climate, and between conservation and the economy, are the engines of change that cannot wait any longer. Portugal has a great responsibility to recognize the Ocean as an integral part of a sustainable economic recovery ”. Amidst a time that will go down in history as the year the world faced the COVID-19 pandemic. An unprecedented threat to public health, which has shaken our confidence in the safety of our societies and pushed the world into a deep economic recession. The destruction of nature, the climate crisis and pandemics are the result of an economic development model based on the old economy, which depletes the planet and threatens the survival of societies. The importance of nature for our survival and the link between nature and human health has now been demonstrated as never before. In the coming years both ANP|WWF and the Oceano Azul Foundation will develop actions covering sustainable fisheries, marine protected areas and campaigns to change behaviours and attitudes, with a view to the conservation and sustainability of the ocean, the great mark in our nation that cannot be left out of the Portuguese economic recovery programme.

Henry Poole Is Here Soundtrack Is Out Now On Lakeshore Records! Download Here: [iTunes] ‘Henry Poole Is Here’ achieves something that is uncommonly difficult. It is a spiritual movie with the power to emotionally touch believers, agnostics and atheists — in that descending order, I suspect. It doesn’t say that religious beliefs are real. It simply says that belief is real. And it’s a warm-hearted love story. – Roger Ebert For Throwback Thursday, we’re feeling nostalgic for Henry Poole Is Here, starring Luke Wilson, Radha Mitchell, Adriana Barrazza, George Lopez, Cheryl Hines, Richard Benjamin, Morgan Lily and Rachel Seiferth. Watch this music video for “All Roads Lead Home” featuring Golden State, clips from the film and a pre-renovation of the famous Sixth Street Bridge in Los Angeles! Overture Films, Lakeshore Entertainment and Camelot Pictures present HENRY POOLE IS HERE, available now on VOD (rent it on iTunes) and DVD (get it here). Returning to the middle-class neighborhood where he grew up, Henry Poole (Luke Wilson of OLD SCHOOL) chooses to live in indulgent isolation. Real life, however, refuses to cooperate with his plans.

Mac M1 - Sonoma 14.1.1 Hi - I'm not sure where this bug exists but when exporting finished files they often (not always) become invisible. Pressing 'Command + Shift + . ' reveals them (but greyed out as you'd expect for hidden files) and they behave perfectly normally, can be opened in Preview, copied etc etc. They also appear normally within C1 Library. I've tried running various online suggestions in Terminal but no joy. However, what does work - reliably so far - is to delete the offending files then 'Put Back' from the Bin! Then they appear in Finder and life improves. The only lead I have is that I keep all my C1 session folders in iCloud. This has worked perfectly for ages and I like the insurance of instant backup. Running a session on the HD does remove the problem, but I don't really want to go down that route. Presumably therefore it's a C1/iCloud problem. I did have iCloud sync stalling issues but deleting the CloudDocs folder in Application Support solved that. Except the files are still mostly exporting to invisible. Any thoughts anyone?

Life is hectic. That’s why we all need escapism. That’s why we need Snoloha. On a chilly Wednesday afternoon as another busy day was ‘trying’ to wind down we managed to escape out of the marina and spend a little time flying sail on the Catalina 309 “Adele Lina” getting her ready for a charter this coming weekend. It really was work related. Really, it was. Leaving land behind, raising (in this case unfurling) sails, and shutting off the diesel has this amazing calming ability that makes the ‘hecticness’ (new word) of the day simply fade away. It’s been a long winter. As much as I enjoy escaping to Boyne Mountain on my snowboard, or in the woods with some snowshoes…it’s time for sailing, stand up paddling and relaxing on the beach. It’s time to get the “Snoloha” in the water and on her mooring ball…my favorite way to escape. Just sitting there, alone, on the mooring ball. Time on the water. Sure, I love bringing the wife and little one along…but even they need a break from me once in a while. I’ve been listening to this new Kenny Chesney album “Life on a Rock” and the song “Marley” is one of my early favorites…puts me right there aboard the “Snoloha”, alone: “Sometimes my life takes more than I can give That’s when I gotta go where no one’s around But the silence and the sound Of Three Little Birds for company I got a sip of something strong A 2nd hand Old Man and the Sea Out here with me Me & Marley.” – Kenny Chesney, Marley

Eric Tabas, MD OB-GYN located in Union Square, San Francisco, CA As a leading provider of obstetrics care for women throughout the San Francisco, CA, region, Dr. Tabas can help women maintain health throughout pregnancy and delivery. Obstetrics Q & A What is obstetrics? How is different from gynecology? Obstetrics specifically relates to the care and treatment of pregnant women, while gynecology covers women’s reproductive health. Obstetricians often also specialize in gynecology and provide care to women throughout their lives. While a woman is pregnant the obstetrician performs certain services, including: - Answering any questions about pregnancy, fetal development, and labor and delivery - Monitoring the health of the mother and developing baby during routine visits - Helping patients with common pregnancy complaints including heartburn, leg and back pain, and morning sickness How often do I need to see the doctor while I'm pregnant? Most women will need to see their doctor every month for the first seven months or so, then biweekly until week 36, and then once a week until the baby is born. Women who have high-risk pregnancies are seen more often. High-risk pregnancies are classified as when the health of the mother or baby is compromised and could result in higher risks during gestation or delivery. Some of the conditions that cause high-risk pregnancies include: - High blood pressure or diabetes (either pre-existing or developing during pregnancy) - Being overweight or obese - Alcohol or drug use - Older age - Having had several miscarriages in the past - Being pregnant with more than one baby - Having certain diseases or undergoing certain treatments for disease What happens during the prenatal evaluation? The prenatal evaluation and exam will include several routine health checks and tests, including blood work, obtaining weight and blood pressure, and a collection of urine samples. As the pregnancy progresses, Dr. Tabas will monitor the growth and development of the baby with ultrasounds and will regularly check the heart rate of the fetus. Once the exam is complete, expectant mothers will receive guidance on what to expect during the few weeks until their next appointment, and they'll have an opportunity to ask questions about their health and pregnancy. Prenatal checkups will take place throughout the entire course of the pregnancy, up to delivery Please see the full list of plans that we accept. If you do not see yours, please call our office to see how we can help. Words from our patients "Dr.Tabas is a great doctor. He listens well, takes all the time needed for the exam, explores all possibilities in case of problems, & does not judge." "Dr. Tabas is warm, caring and respectful. I was referred to him by another OBGYN due to an emergency and have never looked back." "Dr. Tabas is the best!! I have been a patient for the past 18 years. He is polite, concerned, and very knowledgeable." "Dr. Tabas is first rate. When my former physician retired, Dr. Tabas was recommended." "He responds to questions via phone the same day, and calls with test results in a timely manner. It's hard to find an excellent ob-gyn, & I feel lucky to have found him.

# Plot Labels with arrows or lines pointing to different curves? Posted 6 months ago 627 Views | | 0 Total Likes | I'm trying to get plot labels with arrows or lines pointing to different curves. If I do A2 = 1; Plot[Evaluate@ Table[Labeled[Sqrt[x^2 - x^4]/Sqrt[ 1 + A2 \[Beta]], \[Beta]], {\[Beta], {.1, .5, 1, 5, 10, 20}}], {x, 0, 1.2}, AxesLabel -> {Subscript[k, x], Subscript[k, y]}, PlotRange -> All, LabelStyle -> Directive[14, Bold]] I get the following image.How do I make the lines point to a better part of the curves?I've also tried something along the lines of Plot[Evaluate@ Table[Sqrt[x^2 - x^4]/Sqrt[ 1 + \[Beta]], {\[Beta], {.1, .5, 1, 5, 10, 20}}], {x, 0, 1.2}, PlotLabels -> Placed[{"\[Beta] = .1", "\[Beta] = .5", "\[Beta] = 1", "\[Beta] = 5", "\[Beta] = 10", "\[Beta] = 20"}, Above], PlotRange -> All] I've tried using Scaled[] as well.

Email Timeline Post Election 2016 Original Email Timeline – Pre-Election 2016 July 01, 2016 - Hackers target the election databases in two US states, but the motives and identities of the hackers are unclear. WP Twitter Auto Publish Powered By :

At our first meeting I reviewed what I could remember of my conscious input of what it is I am conscious of when I say I am thinking. Remember we came out then with the development of a conceptual set, and the process of the thinking itself generated a geometry by virtue of the fact that my conscious input was one of dismissing for the moment holding out irrelevancies in respect, irrelevant to the set of experiences which I had had, that intrigued me, and I wanted to understand what the relationship was. I, therefore, would have to hold to the thinking about that, and there was a tendency of intrusion of thoughts coming to me as a consequence of my probably having asked myself questions on something, and the brain had been searching and coming back with the answer. The point was that my conscious thought was holding off momentarily irrelevancies to the situation the constellation that I was concerned with. Having discovered that my conscious part was this holding off of irrelevancies, I found that the irrelevancies fell into two main categories all the irrelevancies all the experiences which were too large, too infrequent in any way, to alter or tune in with the magnitude of relationships I was considering; and all the experiences in my life which were too high frequency, too small in any way to be measurable at the magnitude that I am considering. So it was really a tunable set. Because the experiences were inherently omnidirectional observation, because our earth is revolving, and we are revolving and we’re going around the sun continual readdressing of our view in many, many directions. Then, this meant, then, the dismissal of the irrelevancies to a macro and a micro group was an omni-geometrical phenomena, sending them outwardly and inwardly, and there was then a lucid set of stars that were quite clearly relevant to one another. That lucid set, then, defined an insideness and an outsideness. They were between the outsideness of the macrocosm and the insideness of the microcosm. We then found that the minimum number of stars that could define an insideness and an outsideness would be a tetrahedron. That is, if the two points had “between-ness,” but no “insideness” or “outsideness” three points had between-ness but no “inside-ness” or outside-ness,” not until we have the four points. So as we came to a system, and we are looking for the fundamental number of interrelationships of somethings that provoked us we didn’t know what other items might be in it if we only saw three of them, there could be very readily be a fourth one. So as we began to really dismiss properly we find out which side that fourth one might be, to give the “insideness” and “outsideness.” We found that there were four points, but also the four points had six “inter-relatednesses.” So we have a prime number “3” and a prime number “2” geometry being generated here by the process of thought. Then I developed a great deal more with you on the idea of the tetrahedron then being the minimum system, because I defined a “system” as “an aggregate of events that divide the Universe into all Universe outside the system, all Universe inside the system, and a little bit of the Universe which is the system” which I said is the defining subdivision. The tetrahedron is the minimum system of Universe, and it turned out to be, then, omni-triangulated and we found that structures are always triangulated. Structure meant triangle and triangle meant structure, there were no other stable polygons. Therefore, tetrahedron turned out to be the minimum structural system of Universe. We did a whole lot more exploring, reviewing about tetrahedra the cheese tetra, the cheese platonic solids, and the slicing parallel to the faces of them and discovering that all of them were made asymmetrical by such slicing, with the exception of the tetrahedron which simply became a smaller, but absolutely regular, symmetrical tetrahedron, if it was sliced parallel to any of its four faces. So we found that the only geometry that could accommodate, whose symmetry could persist as a symmetrical system in Universe and yet accommodate alterations aberrational alterations, uneven alterations. The other geometries could not coordinate this phenomena. We find that everything was in reference to the four planes, that were subtaining the four vertexes of the tetrahedron, so that we were dealing in a basic four dimensional system. I’ve made many references since that time coming back to tetrahedron and structures, and as we get into then just recognizing late, late yesterday, that in the water people and the mathematics of the water people coming from the Indian Ocean, into Babylon, to Crete, and then to the Ionian Greece, the possibility that the king’s symbol of the hexagon the six equilateral triangles and the household or the distaff side using the square somehow indicated that they got into the public domain, the general domain for the first time in history, the mathematics in terms of reference to x,y,z coordinates of a square, but not in relation to the w,x,y,z of the four axes of symmetry of the four triangles of the tetrahedron. So we find dimensionality suddenly then being identified with previously by society only with perpendiculars to the system. Assuming that you’d have to have rectiliniarity. But we find then that you can have four sets of perpendiculars of the tetrahedron to symmetry, and this is the only fundamental symmetry that is not altered. So that we find then this four-dimensional quality of the tetrahedron makes it possible to MODEL four-dimensional, five dimensional models. Whereas you cannot model with cubes anything more than three dimensions. Fourth dimension is not accommodated. So that we found that the tetrahedron’s volume was one and the cube was three when the volume was one so that if you use cubes you are using up three times as much space to identify the number agglomeration, and the tetrahedron seemed to be, then, not only nature’s basic simplest structural system an absolute limit case; but it also then seemed to be the basic unit of quantation. And we found, then, we were able to identify that then with the quantum mechanics with one unit of quantum. So, I’m now going to develop some more with you today of the energetic-synergetic geometry. Now our book will be coming out, I was told today, approximately, will be published, I think, the 3rd of April. The editors of Macmillan are here with us tonight, out in the control room, and it would be a good idea for them to experience with us a little of the energetic-synergetic geometry. I’m going to review quite quickly the hierarchy of values of the synergetic solids, in contradistinction to the lack of being able to have a hierarchy of values when you use the cube as unity and use the edge of the cube as your unit of linear measure. Then you find that the tetrahedron’s equal-length edge, or the octahedron or the icosahedron all the other platonic solids their volumes are irrational numbers in respect to the cube. Whereas with the tetrahedron as unity and the edge vector of the tetrahedron being the diagonal of the cube rather than the edge of it because it is necessary, the cube does not as we saw have any structural stability without the triangulation, and only when you put in the diagonal, into the cube, do you have stabilization as a structure. So that, we see, then, it is the diagonal of the cube that makes it a structure. So if I consider only hierarchy of structural solids where the integrity of the form of the solid is actually guaranteed by being properly triangulated, then you find that the volume of the cube is three, the volume of the octahedron I showed you was four, the volume of what we call the rhombic dodecahedron is exactly six, and the go onto what we call the vector equilibrium. I gave you the pumping one that fills all space, which was the form of twelve spheres close packed around one sphere. It is the first nuclear array . There is no inherent sphere at the center of a cube. And you cannot get a stable cube made out of spheres until you get to a very high frequency number of those spheres. But we have the first fundamental nuclear system is then a growth of layers of spheres around a nuclear sphere. That gives you then the twelve around one, and the twelve around one gives us then the twelve vertices of the vector equilibrium this is just to remind us of the fact that the cube doesn’t have any stability by itself the rubber joints give you a little bit, but that’s where you put, triangular there is a little triangulation, like triangular gussets in the corners provided by the webs of the rubber. So it’s triangulation that makes it stand a little. Here is our vector equilibrium, and here are then the three vertexes in the northern hemisphere, three down there, and we have then the six around the equator there are our twelve. Now, the volume of the vector equilibrium is 20 when the tetrahedron is one, and consists then of, you can see the eight tetrahedron there is a tetrahedron that goes from this triangular face into its center. There are eight such triangular faces so we get eight tetrahedra in here, and it comes from, each of these square faces if the cross section of an octahedron an half octahedron whose vertex is the center. And the octahedron has a volume of four, so half a octahedron has the volume of two, and I have six of those square faces so six times two is twelve, plus the eight tetrahedra with the volume of one each, makes a total of 20 the vector equilibrium is twenty. So that this, really, then is the maximum domain of a nucleus. One of the things I started really to search for in the early days of the energetic geometry was the following: I said, “it could be that we might find some patterns in Universe in relation to something where there was really specifically a nucleus.” I found there was no inherent nucleus in the cube if you just try if you take one sphere and put four eight spheres around it’s corners, they just fall off, there is absolutely no structural stability whatsoever. So I want to have a nuclear array, and this is the minimum nuclear array. And that then began to really intrigue me, and I said “It could be that around a nucleus there is subtle pattern evolvements, as I have progressive layers, for instance, as I put on more spheres; where there may be a unique set of pattern experiences. But you may come to a point, where it suddenly repeats the earlier one there may be a limit set of absolutely unique nuclear pattern interrelationships.” I found that that is exactly what happens. I’m going to need to use my board tonight, and we’ll have a red nucleus here and, now, I’m going to draw myself a hexagon and make this a little easier to do. And we have another, then, sphere here. (he’s drawing on the board) Anyway, I have a hexagon suddenly showing up in here, and this is the in a plane, six around one. Then I find, that there’s you’ll see that between these three balls here there is a nest. Therefore, I can nest a ball on top of that. When I do that, then, I overlap this one too much so I can’t get one on here. I can have one however, in this nesting this is a pretty bad drawing, I’m sorry. But there is a nest in here. So I can have one here, and one here and one here. Three balls can nest on top of here and touch each other. You may remember when I had three balls on the two could touch each other, three could touch each other. No question about it, that gives you a triangle. Then there is a nest on top of that and you can have a fourth ball and that makes a tetrahedron. Now, I’m really reversing that here now. There’s one at the center here now and then three are on top of it, and sitting in those nests. I can get three on the other side and they give me then the twelve spheres around one. But I want you to think about for the moment, just in a plane, and quite clearly this is a rather stable affair, it doesn’t seem to be trying to do anything to us. I’m going to have another layer of balls though. Now, you say, I don’t think anything is happening. Just put another row around, so… But, you find that I put six around here the first time, and the second row if you count them up, you’ll find that there are twelve. And so you added, the first time I had six sets of one, now I’ve then six sets of two so I have really then a basic “sixness” around here because it is a hexagon. But, I find that there were six in the first row, and there were twelve in the next row, that makes eighteen around one. For six sets then, it must be six sets of three, because six times three is eighteen. So I want to collect these in threes. You’ll find that those are turbining around you see the turbine action? The minute I put an additional layer then, the first layer didn’t try to do anything, but put one more layer on and it’s trying to go around. I could have taken, instead of these three, I could have taken these three. If you do that then it wants to go the other way, but the minute there is a third layer, they have to go somewhere it sets up a dynamic patterning. There is quite a little difference in the situation if I have a light these are transparent spheres, I have a light at the center here, and it’s relationship to the nucleus it gets a very beautiful direct lighting just tangent. But this next ball here does not have the same amount of light coming through it, so that is a unique pattern I want to introduce. Different things are going on here as the second layer is coming in. If I put on a third layer, we’ve got the second now, I’ll get into a third. You’ll find the same thing happens. From here on, there is always turbining. Only a first layer does not turbine, or want to go anywhere. It is apparent really in neutral. I then found, as I began to have the balls coming around, rolling around it in all directions, if I had the twelve on here, then this next layer I get it filling in, every time it comes out the same shape the vector equilibrium. Always has the eight triangles and the six squares, every time I keep enclosing it it comes out that way. I don’t think we have any models of that here in the room. Now, I found then, that the first we have a ball at the center, it is “0.” There are no layers so if I call these layers, this is the “zero” layer, and then we come to the next one, we have twelve balls in the first layer, the next layer we get there are 42 balls, and the third layer there are 92 balls. Now the fourth layer, it turns out to be 162 balls. By the fifth layer it has 252 balls. I found that no matter how many layers I had, it always ends in the number “two.” When I then recognized that this is decimal system that I am counting in, congruence to modular ten it is called, I have a constant suffix of the “ten” so I take the two away, and that leaves me instead of the it gives me ten, forty, if I just take out 2 and say +2 to all of them and then this would be 90 and 160 and 250. Now each one of those are divisible by ten, so I do that, and I get the numbers 1,4,9,16, and 25 and you suddenly recognize that as first 1 to the second power, 2 to the second power, 3 to the second power, 4 to the second power so what’s going on here is, I call this then FREQUENCY OF MODULAR SUBDIVISION. F is my frequency beautifully done! And we find that the frequency, I gave you also something the physicists have two kinds of acceleration when I talked about “precession,” remember? There is angular acceleration when you’re holding onto the ball that is going around in a circle, and linear when it is going away. The radials are going away, they are the linears, and this is the angular, going around like that. Now, whereas in a square system, on an x,y,z system in order to identify any point in geometry, they always have to go follow the line, you can’t take a diagonal you can’t take a diagonal like that. In other words there is no short way, you can’t go from point “a” here to “b” on the diagonal. You have to go thru “c” in fundamental analysis algebraic analysis of any positioning of any points. But in the 60 degree coordination, because you see then the hypotenuse and the legs are never the same so the angular acceleration would not be the same language as the radial linear. But, in here the linear and the angular are the same. Exactly the same size vectors, same energy vectors remember what a vector means a vector is a represents an energy event and it represents a mass times a velocity in a given direction in respect to observer there is an axis of observation, and we have a special angle to observe its moving. And the mass then times velocity gives you discreet length of line. Vectors are not lines that go to infinity they are inherently limited, so that when I talk about a vector these vectors in a vector equilibrium represent forces of the Universe in balance the tendency to explode I showed you the other day being exactly countered by the contractive forces. So that the hexagon has six radials trying to explode and six chords. The six chords are more favorably arranged because it is a chain, and there is mass interattraction, so they get into critical proximity end to end and they hold together, where as the six others try exploding, disintegrating, not helping one another. And the other six help one another. So that we have then, in the Synergetics accounting, a space between two balls in closest packing, is then a wave length, and you don’t have a frequency until you have at least two wave lengths. So frequency doesn’t really begin until you get to this layer out here. In other words, frequency doesn’t occur until that turbining, the disturbing quality enters is trying to do something, is trying to go somewhere. So this is “frequency,” this is, when you get out here is frequency 2 second power. So I’m going to then find a point that we have down here the numbers of balls that we have in any layer in the closest packing of spheres will always be frequency to the second power times ten plus the number two. That became a really fascinating kind of a matter. There was every layer had two balls assigned to the function of being a neutral axis. There were two extra balls for every layer to take care of the neutral axis of spin, so Nature provided for that. If any of you have ever thought about a Victrola record this part is going this way, and this part is going that way two opposite sides, but you get to the center where there isn’t anything going anywhere. This is literally a neutral axis theoretically there, but you’ve never been able to demonstrate it in three dimensions. In the four dimensions you can. I’m going to show you that immediately now. Come back to our model, the vector equilibrium here, and I would have then, I could get, there are two balls I say in every layer that can account for being a neutral axis, and I’m going to take, in the vector equilibrium like this, and I am going to I said “lower the top triangle towards the triangle on the floor. I’m not allowed to twist this is the axis, here, I’m not allowed to twist the axis. It simply contracts in length, it does not twist! I do so, but the equator goes around! Here you see then the axis absolutely neutralized and yet it is able to introduce the motions, the equatorial motions. So we are able to also make this model as you will see later on where we make these with wheels that are going, so it doesn’t have to stop they can keep on and on and on accommodating. But the center axis is absolutely immobile. When you get into these four-dimensional systems, one system then, like this, can latch onto another on the neutral axis, without in any way frustrating the motions in which they are participating. It becomes an extraordinary kind of accommodation that we experience in our actual life, but we have never been able to accommodate in any three-dimensional model. But with a four-dimensional model it is right there! So we find that “twoness” is a fascinating matter. Euler, I told you, developing his incredible realization that all visual experiences were reducible to three main aspects: lines, the crossings of the lines and the areas bound by the lines never to be confused one for the other and that in a picture on a polyhedral face or a polyhedron itself, the numbers of vertexes plus the numbers of the areas will equal the numbers of the lines plus the number two absolutely infallibly. So if you make a donut I said put a cord thru it really where we’ve got that axis there, then the numbers he said are the vertexes plus the numbers of areas equal the number of the lines. The two had disappeared. I do not know why Euler did not identify that with the axis because Euler also made one of the what we call structural engineering analysis engineering analysis structural analysis goes back to Euler. He was the first to develop then the concept of a neutral axis of spin of all systems. And so it’s a structural member and for us to find out what its neutral is for its dynamic and he knows exactly how you’re going to get your bendings and so forth. We find then, why he didn’t think of the “twoness” of his own formula as representing the poles of the neutral axis, I don’t know but he didn’t. But when I found he hadn’t, therefore it became very exciting to me, and I said, “I am going to now always assign two of every layer of my balls so he didn’t get into this kind of a ball-kind of pattern. He didn’t get into these layers of closest packed spheres. And closest packed spheres. And closest packed spheres is the way the atoms are all packed, so it is a very extraordinary kind of pattern to be considering. And as we’re dealing in atoms and we’re dealing in nucleus, and it has an inherent nucleus and no other geometry that I know of starts with an inherent nucleus. It’s the only one. Closest packed and has nucleus! And this in every way conforms to all of our experience with the atoms. So, I found then, by taking two of every layer, they would always, then, take care of the neutral axis of the system. Therefore it would be able to latch on to any other system, and we can keep on accommodating all of the kinds of things we do. Now, this was a very exciting discovery. I’ve spoken about an inherent nucleus. It is possible to get a nucleated cube, but it has to have many, many layers before a sphere tends to come into the center of the aggregation in pure symmetry. You can get a nucleated tetrahedron, and you can get a nucleated octahedron, and they occur very much more early, and very much less aggregation than does the cube. There is a hierarchy of behavior going on here. Now, in this particular formula, we are then dealing with the vector equilibrium which has a volume of twenty do you remember? Also, I showed you that going from this closest packed condition where there is a nucleus, I took this thing, and I made it I made it contract symmetrically, remember? All the twelve vertexes worked towards common center at the same rate. Remember it finally gets to be octahedron they’re all doubled up. As all the vectors came towards common center at a constant rate. The, as I dropped this then, lowered this towards the other side, notice the six squares begin to change triangles cannot change they are structural. Squares are unstable and they do change. We are now at a point where this thing has contracted slightly, but it is at a point where the short diagonal of those diamonds is exactly the same length of this chord, so you put this in there are six squares, become six diamonds, and you put in the six cross members, and you have the icosahedron so the icosahedron is a contracted form of the vector equilibrium. It still has the same twelve vertices, same balls, but because it is contracted, there’s no room for the nucleus anymore. It becomes exactly the same phenomena except for one thing, it does not have a nucleus. Or, you have compressed the nucleus, but you say “You really can’t compress that nucleus,” so I have to really consider that it does not have it. So I find then, the vector equilibrium is in a sense a vitiated or an empty an inoperative one and I have an operative one which has the nucleus. This gets into very much the relationships, then, between our proton and our neutron. So, I find then, the icosahedron has a volume of 18.51 where vector equilibrium is 20. This 18.51 is a very interesting number because the if you’ll take the relative mass relative weight of the electron in respect to the proton, and it is 1/18.51. It’s really kind of a familiar kind of a number in here. So this has something, when we get into the icosahedron level, with nothing at its center it has something to do with the electron. But, you cannot take the icosahedron and pack them with other icosahedron and fill all space. They will join to one another, and will finally produce a geometry they will come back to the octahedron but they make a very wide-open octahedron. But they will not make themselves. We find then, they cannot be multi-layered, because not only can they not have a ball at the center, but as you go from the outer layer in towards this they collapse and there is not room for another layer so it can only be a single layer. Icosahedron is always single layer. But, it has other qualities very close to the same as the vector equilibrium. And those the vector equilibrium has a characteristic of “twentiness,” and the prime number five is in it. Whereas in the octahedron it has the prime number six there are six vertexes, and there are four faces and so forth the prime number two is in there, the prime number three is in there. But in vector equilibrium we first come to the prime number five is in there. We find the icosahedron the same prime number five, see? Pending five around each corner and so forth. It is a very fundamentally “fiveness.” Now then, that “fiveness” is in here as a basic characteristic of the either the vector equilibrium and by the way the vector equilibrium I now write this way “VE” because I have to keep saying it all the time, so I use that symbol for it. And so this here is really two times five times frequency to the second power plus two. There is a multiplicative two showing here and there is an additive two, with the prime number five and frequency to the second power. Frequency to the second power is a very intriguing matter, because we have now layers something growing around, absolutely symmetrically, like waves. It’s an omnidirectional wave phenomena and every way characterized by the great electromagnetic fundamental wave phenomena omni-directional wavings. Propagation. In respect to it we have, remember Einstein’s equation for energy, how much energy is locked up in a given mass, and I went into the knots and so forth here it’s self interferences. But, Universe is, the physical energy is, the physical Universe is, the physical is energy and energy is either energy as radiation, unfettered, or mass brought together. So we have energy = M, that’s the brought together side, times, is modified, how much energy is in there by it’s relationship to the speed of radiation to the second power. See, the speed of radiation to the second power, as we said that is the rate that a surface wave grows this is the second power. Then we come down to the gravitational constant, and we come back again to our friend the second power which I spoke to you about, the exponential two that shows up, which is something apparently then, to do with surfaces, and we find out here is a system growing, rationally, beautiful rational number, absolutely in relation to this frequency to the second power! Which characterizes both gravity gravitational constant and the radiation constant. It gets to be very, very intriguing. As we go on in these kids of numbers the 12-42-92, I’d like you to add up those numbers 12-42-92. Why am I interested in that? Because, incidentally, I am going to stop for just a minute and double back on myself for just a little (turns the page of his drawing board). I’m going to get into a little more discussion about nuclear phenomena. I have one ball is not a nucleus by itself. And I’m going to take start triangulation of balls, and here is one ball, and then I’m going to have two balls tangent like that. There’s no ball at the center of the group. Then I have another ball, and another ball. No ball at the center of the group, is there? Now I’m going to have another layer of balls. For the first time there is a ball at the center of the group. It’s going to be red nucleus. Now, let me have another layer. This is the center, there is no ball at the center of the layer. Now we’ll have another layer. There’s no ball at the center of the layer. Now I need to have one more layer. I don’t know if I can really work this or not we’ll try. And, suddenly there’s another ball at the center of the layer. So it went, No, No, Yes No, No, Yes No, No Yes. It’s not Yes, No, Yes, No at all. It’s a very interesting kind of periodicity. So it was not until we got to the here’s a frequency phenomena. Just pay attention to this triangle in here. We have, while you see four balls to the edge, it’s a three frequency one, two three one, two, three one, two, three. It’s a three frequency system. Three frequency then has a ball at the nucleus. Therefore, as I begin to build up the vector equilibrium, and each edge of the vector equilibrium shows four balls, it’s a three-frequency system, and at that level there is a new nucleus showing but it is not a nucleus because it is just showing on the surface. There is a nucleus at the center of the thing, there is a nucleus on the surface, but it’s not a nucleus until it, too, is equally enclosed with the original nucleus, which apparently always gets two good layers of its own. So this one is going to have so I could get a four frequency five frequency, after five frequency I suddenly am really enclosed and have a new nucleus vying with the original nucleus. So we find that the this nuclei idea is one which the first nucleus shows up at the layer the first layer was this 12 42, no nucleus not until we get to 92 do we have a new nucleus showing. But we say it wasn’t one it too would have to have another layer on the outside of it here. Still isn’t a nucleus. It’s not really a nucleus until it gets to this one, and then it suddenly has, now it is really enclosed. You can see here this 92 isn’t an enclosure point. This number 92 becomes a very important number, and I’m going to take the 12, 42, and 92 and I want to add them up. This is not including the ball at the center of the system it’s just the layers. We find it has six. He adds 146! That’s the number of neutrons in uranium which is the chemical element number 92! That gets to be very impressive suddenly. And then you find that you add to the 146, this is 92, there is a matching, always 92-ness there is always a twoness on the outside of the system, so there is another 92 that comes out of here, that gives you 8 uranium 238. So if you want to make it fissionable you knock out four. So, these numbers suddenly get to be very intriguing, there is compatibility with both, accommodating both Einstein’s radiation and the Newtonian gravitation, which was what Einstein hoped for very much, this is your unified field theory suddenly showing up. I want you to realize, I’m concerning these with you in really a very “kindergarten” kind of way, but this is the truth . So you can imagine how excited I became about energetic geometry as I began to get into it a great many years ago. Because, I ‘d just like to recite once more, as a little boy there were things that I was only being told “Never mind what you think, pay attention to the teacher,” and I was trying very hard. But the teacher would say things from time to time, that I couldn’t help but have some reservations about it. Now, another thought, as we get going to learning first fractions and we learned all about how you manipulate fractions, and everything was going great. And one day the teacher said “I’m going to show you a better way of doing it.” I wondered why she didn’t give us a better way the first time “it is called decimals.” So she had a .125 that’s l/8 and .25 that’s a quarter. .333 goes out the window and over the hill. Every once in a while things would go out the window and over the hill, and other things would stay in the room I wondered if she really knew what she was talking about. It didn’t seem to me a very good classification. So I began to really ask myself a lot of questions, and particularly where it came to geometry, because I loved geometry. And she had a point, she put it on the blackboard, and said it didn’t exist. So she went and then she said, now I’m going to take a number of these points and put them side by side, and that makes a line, and that doesn’t exist and she wiped that out. Then she took a number of these lines that didn’t exist made out of points, and laid them parallel to one another, and got a plane. And said that doesn’t exist. She wiped that out. And then she stacked a number of planes that didn’t exist made out of lines that didn’t exist made out of points that didn’t exist, like this and says it’s a cube and now she says it exists! (Audience laughs). So, I wonder how you get existence out of non-existence to the fourth power? So I said, “If it exists? How old is it?” And she said “Don’t be naughty?” And then I wanted to know how much it weighed, and what it’s temperature was? because the word existence has something to do for me with existing. And, of course she couldn’t identify it was an absolute ghost cube of her imagination. Now, then I want to come back to something else I call the dilemma of mathematics and it’s imaginary phenomena. We find the mathematicians, then, talking about lines, and lines that go to infinity, and from the Einsteinian viewpoint that doesn’t make much sense because, I say, he is entirely operational he’s never been to infinity, so he doesn’t say that. He finds that all energy is in finite packages and seem to be an aggregate of finites. Einstein is not talking about any kind of infinity at all. But you find the mathematicians have what he calls a beautiful straight line I said, “Well draw it,” and he takes his ruler and goes to the board; and I say, “Well, it’s really quite crooked look at, see that chalk going up and down there.” And he said “You’re not in the spirit of mathematics this is just an imaginary straight line absolutely pure.” So I said, “I don’t know how the word imagination comes out of experience, and the word line was invented by me for an experience I was having either the trajectory of leaving some smoke behind, or leaving some chalk behind, or I’ve taken a chisel and am clearing something away. I’ve left a tracery of my action, and that is always going to be very crooked.” Anyway, the mathematician said, “I mean a line of sight it’s straight. Get yourself a surveyor’s transit.” and I said, “Alright, we’ll put the surveyor’s transit on the sun, just kissing the horizon, in the evening, and we find that the sun hasn’t been there for eight minutes, so you’re looking right around the curvature of the earth.” And the mathematician said “You apparently just don’t want to get into the spirit of mathematics here. You’ll never understand it.” So I finally came to a discovery which I find begins to work fairly well. I’m going to take, I spoke about Boole the other night, Boole developing his Boolian algebra when you can’t find the logical way, take the most absurd way. Take the most absolutely absurd you can get, and get something a little less absurd, and you’ll gradually get working toward something that might be reasonable by elimination of absurdities. At any rate, I’m going to take a deliberately nonstraight line, and instead of saying I have a straight line, I want to be invariably sure of it, so I take the rope which is obviously curly it’s all twisted, and I’m going to take this and one of the definitions of a straight line is that it never returns upon itself, so I’m going to take the ends of my rope and deliberately splice them together, so I have a most clearly deliberately non-straight line, either along the local service or the ends coming together. It is a closed circuit and then I’m going to take that piece of rope, and I find that I’m going to take any two parts of it and put them aside like this and put a clamp on it then I’m going to massage the rope from the clamp on like this, keep massaging it very evenly, and I come to where it turns around very sharply, back on itself. It’s a tight little radius, and I keep it pinched, and I make a mark and put a little red ribbon on that turning point, and I go to the clamp and I massage the other way, and come to where it turns around again. Anyway I get just as close as I can to the middle of that arc, and put another ribbon on. Quite clearly I’ve now divided the rope into two parts that are fairly, reasonably each is just about half of the rope. Heisenberg makes it absolutely clear we can never be exact, so that we just only struggle so far. I’m really content that I’ve taken unity and divided it into approximately two parts. Now I’m going to take each one of those parts between the ribbons and pair them up the same way. And I’m going to get a quarter point. I’m going to do it the same way. And I’m going to get a quarter point. I’m going to do it the same way keep halving the distances between points. We’re not increasing or multiplying here, we’re simply continuing locally, halvings so that each one is a reasonably good half. And we get down to sixteenths, and thirty seconds and sixty-fourths and so forth. All nice clear marking distinctions so we know which point we’re dealing in. Now we’re going to go to the wall and put up some nails, and I’m going to put a nail on the wall this is the wall we’re looking at over here. And we’ll put a nail here and I’m going to ask you, I’m going to take the piece of rope and put the first marker on here. I’m going to ask you to really hold it nice and tightly, and I’m going to go over to the quarter marker, quarter way around the rope and I’m going to pull it tautly from you, so it swings as a radius here, and I can put in another nail, anywhere I want on that radius. So this distance between this is, I know, is one-quarter of my rope. Then with this same thing I’m going to come down here, another quarter point and I can swing it anyway I want in here, so I say, let’s put it here; excuse me it should be about over here so then I’m going to get to another quarter point. There’s I’ve got somebody holding it, and I’ve got holding it here there’s a slack piece in here now, and I come down to the marker, pull it tautly and put in another nail. So now my rope is stretched over that; and the rope is we’ve got a diamond, and it’s an equilateral parallelogram. You’re very familiar with that, and there is nothing you’ve learned in geometry that as far as just playing games with lines, that I will not go along with. It’s fine. This is an equilateral parallelogram. But I have very clearly already marked on here other points, so I’m going to take the 1/8 points, and I’m going to take the rope off of this nail here and pull it down firmly; and so the rope is now going to come down to here. I’m going to take it off of this nail here and pull it firmly up like that, and it’s going to come up to here. We have now two parallelograms, and I can eliminate this one out here. This is the same piece of rope, now, but it is two diamonds end to end. And it’s very easy all the way through it is equilateral parallelogram, holding absolutely true. Same length between “a” and “b” all the time here. Now it’s no trouble at all to do that again. So each time I’m going to half it here, and we eliminate this, and then eliminate this, and now we have four four diamonds in a row. There it goes. In no time at all when we get to this 32nds and 64ths and so forth, we get down where every time I do this I half the distance. So what we have now is this baby. And those vertexes again closer but it’s always the same length, it’s always the same non deliberately non-straight line, but it keeps getting straighter and straighter. By the time you get to the 64th and so forth, in almost no time at all it begins to look like a straight line, and it gets straighter and straighter. And I have a way of getting it straighter and straighter which the mathematician didn’t have, at least I’ve got a progression towards straighter he didn’t really have anything except making kind of “get a line of sight or so forth” he didn’t have any really methodical way of getting there, but I know it’s non straight. So I’m going to be able then to get a line for the mathematician which I can probably prove mathematically is a little finer than any straight line he’s ever used, but I know that it is deliberately non-straight. Now the physicist when he wants to get the student feeling wave we’re getting into quantum and wave we really want to feel wave. One of the first tricks he does is to put a nail in the wall and fasten a rope to it, and stand over here, and throw a whip into the rope, and it goes to the wall and comes right back here and stops. It’s a fundamental characteristic of a wave that it comes back where it started. Beautiful thing. What’s going on here, is then from “a” you whip here from “a,” it goes out here to “b” and it comes right back to itself. It’s a wave. See it? Now when he said, “I meant a line of sight,” that is always a wave phenomena. This is the line of sight. Now I’m really able to show him what his real line of sight really was, it is a wave. Physics has found NO straight lines; ONLY WAVES, ONLY CURVES. So I say, “Mr. Mathematician, now I’ve given you a tool that is much more reliable for you, but never kid yourself again, never call it a straight line. You are simply dealing in wave phenomena, and now we can go on and do all the geometry we ever did. This is the first time the mathematician really began to be a little friendly with me, because he did not like really being excluded from the experiential club of the physicist. And his salary is very much smaller than the physicist. Now, this brings me then to I’ve given you some agglomeration of spheres, and I, there are many things that I would do if I had more models around me; but I’m fairly limited in my choices of the things I see because I see one frequency and so forth and not agglomeration. I’ve already done octahedron and tetrahedron with you, and you’ve felt those and you’ve felt those grow. And the you’ll find if we take tetrahedra, I do get four tetrahedra together but no nucleus right? If I, however, then, make another layer I can have a tetrahedron where you see three balls on an edge where there is actually frequency two. And it’s number of balls is four on the top and six on the bottom. There are ten balls. Six-ten Then if I have another layer here’s another ten it gets to twenty. In this layer, however, the twenty layer no, when there are twenty altogether, this is the ten. And you have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten that’s where the nucleus begins to show up again, on the “ten” layer. So, on this surface of the tetrahedron on each of the four surfaces, you see a new nucleus A nucleus beginning to show for the first time, because the tetrahedron did not have a nucleus of its own. I’ll then have to put one more layer, and the next layer will have 15 in it so it goes to 35. One, two, three, four, five, six seven, eight, nine, ten eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen there are fifteen balls. When you do, then, for the first time we have a nucleated tetrahedron. So there is a nucleated tetrahedron, the same way we can get then to how do you get an octahedron with a nucleus. Whereas this same formula then for the number of balls in the outer layer of the nucleated tetrahedron in contradistinction to the vector equilibrium where it was ten times frequency to the second power plus 2, it comes out four times frequency to the second power plus two. But the four as the ten was two times five, the four is two times two times frequency to the second power plus two. That’s the number of balls in the outer layer when it is tetrahedronal. When you do it octahedronal, the number comes out four. We have there is a multiplicative two here, and I take that out, so there is a prime “oneness.” We find tetrahedron coming out the prime number “one.” The octahedron comes out the prime number “two.” And the cube is a prime number “three.” And the vector equilibrium and icosahedron are the prime number “five.” These are the first four prime numbers one, two, three, five of all numbers. And we find as we’re going to go on here, some very interesting things, the number really goes up only to four. So it’s like the four of the vertexes of the basic structural system of Universe. You get four positive and four negative, we get to the number “eight” and I’m going to try to show you that. I’m sorry we don’t have the good pages and models and everything all printed out. We will come back in our video WE HAVE ALL THESE PAGES IN SYNERGETICS, SO WE’LL BE ABLE TO TAKE PAGES FROM SYNERGETICS AND REINTRODUCE THEM INTO THE VIDEO. May I have your chart then. I wonder if I could sit on here would that? in that very, very bright light there and everybody can see it a little better. You’ll find, this is the SYNERGETIC HIERARCHY OF TOPOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF OMNITRIANGULATED POLYHEDRAL SYSTEMS (See pages 46 and 47 of SYNERGETICS I). And you must remember when you are talking about the cube, in order to have a cube you must put a diagonal in its face. It always must be triangulated. These are structural systems. In other words, they are absolutely stable in doing what they are doing. And, there are a great many other items on here, but this is where we begin with the vector-edged tetrahedron, with a volume of one. The octahedron has a quality of always doubling on itself. Which, you may remember as I pump this down here, octahedron seems to occur in double bond always. You see two octahedra congruent one with the other. The more you get familiar with synergetic geometry, you’ll realize that this is fundamental for the octahedron so it occurs twice, keeps showing the number “four” when it really represents the prime number “two.” This doubles itself, and we find then that this is this hierarchy, and I’ll go through then the vector-edged tetrahedron and the vector-edged octahedron, and the vector-diagonaled cube and so forth, and vector equilibrium. We find then that the vector-edged icosahedron, combined volumetrically with the vector-edged cube, where the cube likes to be edged this way, it’s number comes out to the two come out together altogether they come out the number twenty-seven. And we find all the vector-edged octahedra and so forth, these are all beautiful, rational numbers. Now, what I found, I spoke to you about, that Euler didn’t think to do, was to identify that the “plus ‘twoness'” of his equation with poles. So I find that every system always every system is inherently as he himself knew, is rotatable in other words there is a neutral axis of spin of the system. So that you have to have two vertexes have to have the function of being poles. So when I take the Euler formulas, as nobody had done, and automatically subtract two take out let’s go through some of these (he’s still looking at the above-mentioned chart on SYNERGETICS HIERARCHY). The tetrahedron has four vertexes plus four faces, equals six edges plus the number two. Four plus four equals eight, and six plus two. In the octahedron we have six vertexes plus eight faces equals fourteen which is twelve edges plus the number two fourteen. Or we get to the cube, and it is now triangulated so it has eight vertexes, plus, instead of six, I have twelve faces that’s eighteen, equals then, it’s eighteen edges plus two (= 20). We keep coming out all right. Now, what I did was to take all of the formulas as given by Euler, and no topologist looking at this recognized some further order in it because they didn’t take out the two vertexes for spin. I now take out the two vertexes for spin, and that leaves me for the tetrahedron two plus four equals six. Remember, I’ve got two taken out for poles. This leaves me on the octahedron is four plus eight equals twelve; the cube is six plus twelve equals eighteen; the vector equilibrium is ten plus twenty equals thirty; the icosahedron is ten plus twenty equals thirty. Now each one of these, then, is coming out in even numbers. I find then, because they are all even numbers, I can divide them all by two. So I try that. So I get, instead of, for the tetrahedron 2 + 4 = 6, I get 1 + 2 = 3. That’s a very simple kind of relationship: 1 + 2 = 3. Then, the next was the octahedron, and that had been 4 + 8 = 12, so I divided it by 2 and I get 2 + 4 = 6. Let me write those down. The first one I got 1 + 2 = 3: now I’m getting 2 + 4 = 6. Then I get to the cube and I’ve got 6 + 12 = 18. So I’ve said, I divide those by two and that gives me 3 + 6 = 9. I wish I had done it 1 + 2 = 3; 2 + 4 = 6 and 3 + 6 = 9 so what’s the next one, the vector equilibrium or the icosahedron which was 10 + 20 = 30 and I divide that by two and I get 5 + l0 = 15. Now these are very interesting numbers because you find 1 + 2 = 3, you couldn’t have something simpler. But the next one 2 + 4 = 6 is 1 + 2 = 3 x 2! And the next one 3 + 6 = 9 divide that by 3 and it’s 1 + 2 = 3! And the next one is 5 + 10 = 15. Divide that by 5 and you get 1 + 2 = 3! So we have then, we have in every case here 1 + 2 = 3 times tetrahedron is by 1, octahedron is by 2, multiplied by 2, and cube by 3, and icosa or vector equilibrium by 5 those first four prime numbers. We have, then, I found there is what you call a multiplicative “two” and an additive “two.” There was an additive two of the poles for EVERY system in Universe. There was also a multiplicative two because there is a concave and a convex there is inherent duality of this congruence of an inside system because concave and convex are not the same. You just have to realize that you have a fundamental congruence of the macrocosm and microcosm. There is negative and positive simply congruent there, but you can’t separate them. But the concave radiation impinging on concave, converts concentrates the radiation, convex diffuses it. So, and energy-wise you find that they are absolutely not they are just not the same, yet they are congruent, you can’t separate them, so this is what I call then the “duality twoness.” So you find every system has a multiplicative a duality twoness and it has a plus twoness of poles for axial rotation. When I take that out, then the constant there is a constant relative abundance for every vertex, two faces and three edges. And the only difference there is a prime number, that a tetrahedron is a “one,” and octahedron is a “two,” a cube is a “three,” and a vector equilibrium (VE) or an icosahedron are the number “five.” Now this gets to be very, very exciting. Then I gave you frequency the other day, and then I showed you a series of triangles, the edge reads two, then you have four triangles the edge reads three edge is frequency. So I have there frequency to the second power and you remember it came out then alright as triangulation. So as we get into any of these, we find that they all are triangulated, so simply increase the frequency, so then in addition to the duality twoness of every system, a polarity twoness of every system (that is the plus twoness) (the duality twoness is a multiplicative twoness) a multiplicative twoness, an additive twoness then there are the four prime numbers, and everything else is just frequency to the second power times that frequency, whatever it is. This tells you all about all the structural systems in Universe. Which is very, very exciting, because then you find, because there is a duality, you do have to have the multiplicative twoness therefore you find that for every positive one vertex, you’re going to have a negative one in the system, or the opposite. So I said, 1 + 2 = 3, but instead of that I’ve got to say 2 + 4 = 6. That is, quite clearly, all the numbers or points in Universe will be divisible by two, and for every point in Universe there are always going to be three vectors, because there are always going to be pairs of points, then you are always going to have six I said the other day, then, there are six basic because there are six vectors always with every event in Universe you have six vectors. And those are the six each one is a positive and negative, so there are my twelve degrees of freedom I gave you the other day. You want to see how beautifully these things begin to prove themselves up and there is a very swift simplification of a great comprehensive accounting as we get into SYNERGETICS HIERARCHY. Everything coming out rational and whole. I was really so terribly impressed when I was a kid by the fact that whereas that chemistry was always associating in whole, rational low-order numbers, associating and disassociating in beautiful, whole rational numbers physics was always coming out with irrational numbers. And I felt that what was really causing it was that we were really using yardsticks that were not the logical yardsticks that we came in the attic window and were trying to measure all the rest of the windows by the attic window or something. So it just was an unreasonable unreasonable story, so I feel that man, then, being fairly monological, thinking of it as a flat earth I can understand his making cubes and cubes were nice, and they seemed to fill all space they were building blocks. Tetrahedron wouldn’t, all by itself, so you had to cast that out. But it was a flat earth anyway so you might as well plan on cubes, and that’s the way to divide the Universe. The minute you get into the spherical you’re going to realize that they are not going to work very nice, but you could have a triangle on the surface and then it went to the center of the sphere and you get a beautiful tetrahedron right there all the time. Now, this chart goes on to get into really these complex forms that we get into here, they are all superbly accounted you’ll never get in trouble, because all of them are some combination of those first four prime numbers. That’s all you have to have, and the minute you get a three you know you’re dealing in cubes that’s all there is to it, it’s always going to come out that way. I’m going to run a few slides now that confirm some of the things I’ve talked about earlier, but I must ask you to imagine. The ones I’m going to use now I’d like to have first, Bob that, the half octahedra. You see two one-half octahedra and a whole octahedron. And you remember, the octahedron does have a volume of four so that each half octahedra has a volume of two. And each one of those you remember nests very neatly into the square faces of the vector equilibrium. May I have the next slide? Now you see a one-half octahedron cut into four one-eighth octahedra there on the left hand side. The gray ones each one of those are one-eighth octahedra, and they have an equilateral triangular face on the outside, but at the center they have the 90° angle and subtended by two 45 degrees on the outside. Next picture. Now you can see that one-eighth octahedron extracted from the octahedron coming out from the center of gravity. Next picture. Now I’m going to take, there is a round tetrahedron and four one-eighth octahedra. I wonder if that picture couldn’t be elevated? At any rate, addressing the four one-eighth octahedra the equilateral triangular faces of them which would be their outside faces when they are an octahedron to the equilateral triangles of four tetrahedra’s equilateral triangular faces, and together they make the cube. Next picture. Can you see this coming together to make the cube? Next picture. Now this time, I’m going to cut the picture out, just hold onto that for a minute. You see a great circle. I’m going to remember how I like to be sure you have a limit case, you come to the end of things I like to deal in where there is no question about our dealing in unity. And here is a circle, and it is very interesting, that a circle, you can take any two points on that circle doesn’t make any difference, any two points, and it will always, if you make the edge there, it always goes congruent no trouble at all. And then you fold it and you have to half circles alright. This is a very simple kind of a folding. I now want to do something I’m going to try to divide these in thirds, so can you see how I am taking this part and making it match as two halves, alright? Then I fold back on the other side in just the same way. I’ve now divided my circle into approximately six, sixty degree equal parts. Now I’m going to do that for several more great circles. Here’s a half, and again, I’m going to try to make that just as even as I can between the two halves, and this fold back,, the other corner. Now this way. And do that four times all together. I’m taking four great circles. I’m taking four great circles because of the interest we really have in that “fourness” and four great circles of a plane… I want you to remember what a great circle is. A great circle is a line formed on a sphere by a plane going through the center of the sphere. I think I had mentioned to you before that the great circle is the shortest distance between two points on the sphere. Remember how I took the latitude of eighty degrees North latitude and superimposed it on the equator, crossing the equator do you remember that, and it was a shorter distance between “a” and “b” where the little circle crossed the bigger circle, much shorter distance to stay on the equator than to go off on the detour of the little circle. This is typical of the great circle being a shorter distance. The word geodesic in mathematics, SYNERGETICS, means “the most economical relationship between events.” One event would be a bird flying in the sky, and the other event might be you, and I don’t know why you would want to do it, but suppose you wanted to fire a gun at the bird, which I am sorry to say many people do, if they want to hit the bird they don’t fire the gun at where the bird is, because the bird is in flight. They fire where they figure it is going to be. And they find, while there is not much gravity effect, there is always a gravity effect. So that the firing is pulled a little like this, towards the earth. It may be infinitesimal to your eye nevertheless there is such a measurement, and in due course it is going to go right towards the earth. So we have, then, the bird is in flight and there is always some wind. There is also a little inequity of the surface of this bullet and so one side has a little more drag than the other. If you take, which they often do, during World War II there were a great many photographs taken at night of two airplanes in a dogfight, where they were using tracer bullets and the picture is usually taken from another plane, of the two. And it doesn’t make any difference if it is taken from one of the planes, or another plane. What you saw was absolute corkscrew fire. That is the shortest distance, most economical distance between these two was a geodesic line. And they are not straight they are always curves, waves whatever. There would be for instance the earth revolving before the sun, very rapidly. We have a vine growing on top of the earth. And this top of the vine, growing each day. And it is very flexible, and it wants the sun. So in the morning the little stem will come out and the leaf opens toward the east to get the sun. And then as the day goes on the earth is revolving the earth is revolving but the leaf keeps growing apparently towards the sun and so in the afternoon it seems to be reaching towards the sun. And then tomorrow morning it’s over here again. That’s why they are spiraling the reaching this way but this leaf was always much near to the sun than was it’s roots. And if you really take a total picture of it go around the total sun, revolving, it describes a line very much nearer to the sun than the rest of the earth. So these are geodesics they are interesting things. So, the great circles are the shortest, most economical distance between the points on a sphere. Therefore, great circles are called geodesics. Now I’m taking I made four of these great circles, and folded them up, you saw me, into thirds. And I’m going to put them together using bobby pins. I’ll put one to they get two tetrahedra here. And, another one. There. We now have our eight tetrahedra of the vector equilibrium, in pairs. I’m going to take just two of these you see when they sit like this they tend, really to come together in in sort of a natural way. A bobby pin there. And another bobby pin here. It’s quite a neat form it gets to be. Then, put two more of these together. Then take those two and sit them on the top of here. Get some more pins. Another pair. Now these are absolutely perfect they are whole great circles and there is nothing extra in them, and so there begins to be a little tension as you begin to pull them together. There’s quite a little gap there. So another pin, and sure enough the slack is in there. Now suddenly I took four great circles, and you see four great circle planes all over again. Here’s one, here’s one there they are. The four great circles have been, then, folded locally, so in local energy holding patterns, and we have a very extraordinary thing here where we can either go completely around, or we can go around locally with the same amount of energy. You remember those six moves that you can make; a very local holding pattern that can go on and on. Now these, there are twelve points here and when spheres are closest packed around spheres, these points are where they touch the next sphere, so if energy were traveling through space through atoms that were in closest packing, you find that energy follows a convex surface not the concave. It’s very easy to understand. Just take a piece of paper and just bend it. The exterior this goes into a little more tension on the outside doesn’t it it tries to resist you. So tension, high tension, and energy follows the higher tension. We have a great copper sphere hollow sphere, maybe 20 feet in diameter Van De Graaff generator where you simply keep loading electrical charges to it, and they always stay on the outside. You can get up to a couple of million volts and they are used for making artificial lightning. But people can walk around on the inside with absolutely no trouble at all they will never be short-circuited because energy always stays on the convex side. For this reason, when you’re trying to plate, silver plate, any plate metals, the convex is very easy to plate. The concave is almost impossible. You have to get your anode almost in practically touching, in order to get it to flow it on there at all. So we find energy is always following the convex. So that energy, going from here to there in Universe, following the convex would follow the outside of the sphere, where we came to the point of it could only get to the next sphere through a point of tangency. And it could get on such great circles as these, and so these begin to be the beginnings of railroad tracks. All the great circles that go through these twelve points. Just sort of fundamental symmetry are going to the way in which energy can get from here to there in Universe thru closest packed vector equilibrium (VA). Now, it gets terribly interesting in this particular device when we begin to pay a little more attention to it. This is interesting, these are the same four planes, and I want you to see remember this is our friend vector equilibrium how you could pump that around. It is an extraordinary thing. You can flatten it down to get all the planes congruent or it opens four completely different ways, and you can flatten it any one of those ways. It comes out a different looking pattern altogether. These are typical of the intertransformability, starting from our wonderful vector equilibrium . And, I have mentioned, the other day, the vector equilibrium really was the limit domain of the nucleus, and everything that goes on within the vector equilibrium is unique to nuclei and to atoms, what goes on outside of them when they join up with others, is unique to chemical compounding and molecules and so forth, where things join up. Joining is outside, this is the domain of the non-joining, inside. It’s very fundamental it’s the basic patterns. Now, I want to talk about other great circles. And this one is very easy to make because they are all the same and you can do your own improvising really quite easily. But I have slide pictures of other great circles. And I want you to think about what they might be. As, for instance, we have the tetrahedron, and I’d like to find symmetries in it. For instance, I could, you might say, it doesn’t seem to have a pole there. But I take a mid-edge and a mid-edge, and suddenly it does have symmetry. Tetrahedron, supposing I were to take a knife it’s made out of cheese, and I cut parallel to this plane here, but up here. I could truncate this little corner couldn’t I? And leave a little triangular unit, can you see that? I could cut off this corner, I could truncate each of the four corners and get little additional triangles on here. If I did that, having cut here, you can see where I’ve cut into here you find you have a hexagon. So I get four hexagonal faces plus four triangular corners. You also see that figure showing up. Then, suppose I wanted to take a knife, or a plane, and I slice parallel to this edge itself, in other words I cut off, truncate the edge, can you see how I do that? My lines would look like that parallel to the edge. So I cut the cheese off so I’ve got a little flat plane on each of the six edges of the tetrahedron. And so, that will leave me still four flat faces out here and I could then truncate these corners. Sum totally, I could get facets on here I could get up to the four faces already there, plus six facets if I truncated the edges makes ten plus four facets at the corners that’s fourteen, and these always they are opposites they must be in pairs, so there are actually seven axes of symmetry in the “fourteenness” of the four, plus four, plus six. And that fourteenness shows up as seven sets of the great circles. And these seven sets of great circles have very interesting properties. We’re going to look at those, and they are really all the axes of symmetry of all crystallography. There are seven fundamental symmetries. And the let’s come for instance to the, may I have the first picture now next picture. We’re looking at the vector equilibrium again remember the four great circles. Now you’re getting familiar with it all of a sudden, and we’re looking at it made in colors. Next picture, next picture again. This is one where I get what I call a concave and a convex one and you’re going to find those very interesting as I said Vector Equilibrium was the limit case. And if I take the vectors edge of the VE I could bend them and make them into arcs. This means that all the vertexes go inwardly a little . Or if I bent the exterior edges concave, it would give you a shortening of the lines, therefore the vertexes would have to come in. In this seemingly straight condition it takes the most room in Universe. And those concave and convex qualities you see in that picture, relate then to the first like knocking out the central ball and it becomes an icosahedron. These are the first degrees of contraction where you have to follow the hierarchy of forms that begins to generate. Next picture. This is a little difficult to see. That is a transparent four great circle. Next picture. What we’re looking at here now is I’ve tried to make just take two great circles and cross them. And they really become unstable, they just look like this. They have a common axis but they flap, and I try to make, then, the Next picture please. There we tried to make the central angles of the tetrahedron what we call one hundred and ninety degrees and twenty-eight minutes, where , that doesn’t work, you’ll find that the one hundred and ninety and twenty-eight is what each one of these arcs are and they don’t come out in whole great circles. Next picture. Here is the octahedron and you’ll say, well those are 90 degrees, if you try to make those in supposing I try to make a bowtie the way I have here-90,90,90,90 what do I get there, four times 90 that’s alright, that’s 360. But then you find that you can’t make a, you have to take two whole great circles. Next picture please No, you take six of them! You take six great circles folded to make the three great circles. I’ve told you this before, octahedra always appear double, they always appear congruent, so to make the octahedron in great circles, folded great circles, it has to be double., again. So it’s really six great circles that look like three. Next picture. There you are looking at the octahedron. No, that’s the attempted central angles of the tetrahedron and they do not work. Next picture. Now we’re looking at the six great circles. And the six great circles you will like to know where they come from. Let me then take the vector equilibrium itself, just let’s see what it’s got. It’s got those six square faces, eight triangular faces. It has twenty-four edges, it has twelve vertexes. So if you take twelve vertexes they will then have six equators they are opposite each other. The twelve vertexes are in pairs north and south. There are twelve vertexes that are opposite from each other and you have six great circle planes as I revolve it it goes perpendicular the perpendicular bisector triangle goes square, triangle, triangle square, triangle, triangle and that gives you, that is the axis of symmetry that gives you six great circles which I have been showing you. Next picture. This is looking at the same six great circles. Next picture oh, incidentally, you get the six great circles if you want to by, take a cube and put both sets of diagonals you have the two tetrahedra crossing one another inside the cube and that gives you the six great circles. You find that, six great circles have four times six twenty-four triangular faces. They are not equilateral, but they are isosceles. Next picture please. Now we’re looking at the twelve great circles. Say, where did those come from? Well, remember, there are twenty-four edges here in the icosahedron. So, if I take the mid-edges of the twenty-four edges it gives me twelve axes. See that. That would give me then twelve axes of spin, so this is really quite a complicated one. You see it goes through mid-edge, corner, mid-edge, mid-edge corner, mid-edge, mid-edge, corner, mid-edge, mid-edge, corner. So there is a symmetry about it, but it makes it quite a complicated one. Look behind me there and you’ll see it’s quite a complicated form. Next picture. There is another of the… Next picture. Another of the twelve great circles. Next picture. Now, I come back again to the Vector Equilibrium. I have here, how many ? There are six faces square faces aren’t there? If I take opposite the mid of each square face; the six of them would give me three axes, and this will revolve, go vertex, vertex, vertex. It has a square section in there, can you see that? I can’t put my finger here, but, I have to hold onto it to do it, but this is how it revolves. This is, then, what they call the three great circles. How do we get the four great circles? I go to the, there are eight triangular faces, so I take the eight triangles, and take their mid their centers of gravity, and there would be four axes between the eight faces and so I revolve it on those, and there you see the four great circles. See that great circle? Here is a triangular one again. As always that’s what gave us this beautiful form here. Those come out of the triangular faces, so the three great circles of the square faces; the four great circles of the triangular faces; there are what other features do we have here? Then we have the twelve great circles of the mid edges. There are three four six, we have there were twelve of these vertexes so there are six of these three, four six, twelve. So three and four make seven and six make thirteen and twelve makes 25. There are twenty five great circles on the vector equilibrium. They are 3, 4, 6 and l2. They are four of the seven of the basic symmetries of crystallography. And you can see why how absolutely simple and fundamental … Now, I want you to watch each one of the ones that I have just done with you. Go back to the three great circles which were square faces. It goes vertex, vertex, vertex, vertex. There are four vertexes involved, right? And then next we go to the triangular faces, and I have six vertexes all the time. So they go through many more vertexes the four great circles go through many, many more stations of tangency more spheres it can this is a railroad track, it could get you into more stations than the three great circles. And then we take the six great circles where the, where we get vertex, no vertex, no vertex, vertex you get two vertexes on the six great circles, but none the less they do transfer at the main grand central station of tangency to other spheres so that the energy can travel over the convex surface of spheres the most the shortest distance, because all great circles are the shortest distance they are going to travel, so they can travel on the six great circles. Then look at the twelve great circles, mid-edges, remember? Sure enough it goes thru a vertex, mid-edge, mid-edge; vertex so it goes only thru two again on the twelve, these are really very fascinating characteristics, but this is part of the main switching of energy in Universe, and every one of the ones I have just given you the three, four, six and twelve, are all foldable out of whole great circles. You have to do your spherical trigonometry to know what the central angles are, but once you have you can fold this up very neatly and you will literally take twelve great circles, fold them up, and make the twelve great circles, and come out the continuous great circles out of these bow tie forms which come together. So it tells you that everyone of them has a holding action where you can go around locally, or go on and travel, but the fact that some of them have two stations, four stations, six stations means that they really are quite a different set of options for travel on those different sets of great circles. But and one of them has more of them than the other. The one that has twelve has only two stations, so that is really twenty four cases there; the one that has six great circles we had two again so you see the twelve opportunities there. So the things are not coming out the same number I want you to realize. Now, the next thing we come to is the icosahedron. May I have the next picture. Here is our friend the icosahedron. You see some pentagons and right away you say, this is due to that “fiveness” something to do with the icosahedron. So, what do we have here? We have the same twelve vertexes, so it has six great circles. It was interesting, there was one the six great circles of the twelve vertexes, but also don’t forget, where you get the three great circles was the octahedron and it took six of them to do it. So it really is a six there is six appearing in here twice in the vector equilibrium. There are also six on the icosahedron. Now look what it does. I spin it and it doesn’t go through any of the stations! So, suddenly, there is a cut off. Then, let me see, what other features do you have here? The other one has squares and triangles, this one has only triangles, so I have twenty triangular faces I have twenty faces, therefore I have ten axes of spin. This is the ten axes of spin here, and you’ll find that it is a very amazing thing on the icosahedron it keeps missing the vertexes. And then I have the what else do I have? I have thirty edges which gives me fifteen and this is the only one where they transfer. It goes yes, yes, no; yes, yes, no; yes, yes, no something like that other kind of pumping you ran into. The yes, yes, no shows up quite often in basic series here, and makes it possible to do yes, yes, no; and a yes, no, yes, no so that you don’t have any interferences. So, icosahedron has only two chances. Now we find the icosahedra, they do not carry on and fill all space, therefore they are not what you get in closest packing closest packing you only get with the vector-equilibrium. Then it contracted in order to be the icosahedron, so it doesn’t have the contacts. Time and again I want you to feel this kind of neutral condition, like a neutron without vitality; and the one that does have the nucleus you go into the proton. Same number system, but just a little bit contracted. And the difference in the contraction is just the difference of an electron. So, we find that this thing cannot have many layers. In fact, it tends to act only as an electron. It really has to be a free space actor. And it does have only one way in which it can actually ever make contact with things and get something out of the system. And that was this one, of which there are fifteen of those, great circles, thirty edges. So, let’s look at the slides again, and everyone of those are foldable, out of whole great circles. That is the six great circles. Next picture and the six great circles again in transparency. I’ve done them in quite a number of different ways different opaques. Next picture please. And this is showing the mathematics with… Next picture. Same thing again, still six great circles. Now we are into the ten great circles. Next picture. That’s the ten great circles. Next picture. And there are the fifteen great circles. This is a very beautiful one. Fifteen great circles are as large as we get, and the Babylonians discovered this long ago, that, I gave you you remember structural systems where I had tetrahedron, omni-triangulated, inside and outsideness a system. Octahedron, inside and out. Icosahedron. But tetrahedron has three triangles around each corner. Octahedron four. Icosahedron five, and you couldn’t have six because they would add up to 360 degrees and would not come back to themselves. They could not be a system. So there was absolutely a limit of three possible cases you remember that. Now, in the, I’ve lost track in coming back to my picture. Can somebody give me a help? (From the audience: “fifteen great circles” ) Right! So the most equilateral triangles the tetrahedron has only four, the octahedron has eight, but twenty is the largest number of equilateral triangles you could possibly have in the system quite clearly.. Because otherwise they would add up to more than 360 degrees this is a limit case. Now, each one of those equilateral triangles, quite obviously, you can divided an equilateral triangle by a perpendicular bisector very nice symmetry, so each triangle has three perpendicular bisectors, which will then divided it into six right triangles. There are three positive and three negative. Yes. six of them. We have six then times twenty faces l20. May I have the l5 great circles back again? The Babylonians, mathematicians, discovered then these l5 great circles. And I want you to realize the difference between a spherical great circle triangle than a chordal. Because, look at the right and lefts in those if they were flat edged they would be hinges, but they are arc edge, so they will not hinge to the side. So you find that the concave and the convex cannot rotate the one cannot take the place of the other, on the flat they can. The positive and negative right triangles. One is red on the inside and white on the inside. You have a red and white seemingly congruent this way but in the concave-convex they can’t do it, so there are 60 positive and 60 negative right spherical triangles into which you divide unity. This is a limit case of similarity of subdivision of unity. IT’S A BIG ONE! So the Greeks the Babylonians discovered that, and therefore, this is where they came to trying to coordinate time and circles. The two kind of unity. So they came to the sixty second, sixty minute. This is where the sixtiness comes from. This became, then, to them, really the top necessary number, and they included the prime numbers l, 2, 3 and 5. So I just wanted you to know that the Babylonians show this figure in the old things and it is very exciting to see it. Next picture please. This is the fifteen great circles folded, and you find that they are folded, there are fifteen of them but you will find that they make a total of l20 triangles. Each one gets folded into divide l5 into l20, what do you get? Eight. Yes. Well, each one of these has to be in a special fold. You’ll find that they are not these are each very nice and symmetrical they are bow ties, just as neat as can be. This is the model I have used different colors, I’ve used yellows and blues and blacks and so forth, and the model these are strange kite-tales, where the one tetrahedron is edge to edge with the next tetrahedron, and they come together to make tetrahedron spaces outside of themselves and inside of themselves. So each one of them has four, and each one of them has two no it makes up four on the outside four inside and four outside of these strange things, and they do not come together in a symmetrical manner. It is absolutely impossible to make them symmetrical. The icosahedron has these very interesting, very independent properties where it seems to peel off. And Vector Equilibrium is where everything really is passing through Unity and from thereon everything that goes on is some kind of an aberration a folding up, or a skewing, or whatever it may be. Next picture please. Looking at the fifteen, same. Next picture 120 triangles. Next picture please these are revolving the icosahedron on the ten and the fifteen I just want to and the six. Next picture. There is the icosahedron showing all of it’s what does it have it has six, ten and fifteen thirty one great circles. O.K.? But the first one’s where you use the same twelve vertexes that you had in the icosahedron in the vector equilibrium. And those twelve vertexes gave me this very nice great circle where you did have two vertexes you went thru, so it was contact, but the sixth great circle on the icosahedron does not, it is absolutely pure equator a great equidistant from all things. It would not conduct at all. So we take the, remember, I had twenty-five great circles on the vector equilibrium. There are twenty-five that really match them that are taut or twisted on the icosahedron, and then there is a sixth additional that goes around, but does not touch anything, so each one has one has thirty-one and the other twenty-five, but twenty five plus six is the thirty-one, the extra six which does not go thru any of the grand central stations. Next picture, please. Now I am going to, see if we can make this bright enough for you to see it, I spoke to you a little while ago, when I had the vector equilibrium, remember, pumping up and down, and the equator was rotating, but the axis was not rotating. That is the big thing, right. Now, I can make this same kind of a model I have eight triangles, you can see them alright. Then I have four axes to the eight faces those would be the same as the perpendiculars to the faces of the tetrahedron the four axes. You can find those four axes if you want just go to a cube, and there are eight corners, and they are symmetrical to one another. And take the diagonal from this corner of the cube down to that one there, and there are the four diagonals between the eight corners, and they are the same lines and the same central angles as the perpendiculars to these square faces here. Then I could take this vector equilibrium and put a one-eighth octahedron on here, and the whole thing it becomes a cube. So it’s just coming from this center. Now, because that’s so, between vector equilibrium there is something I call each one of these triangular faces has a one-eighth octahedron, so if eight of them come together, they make one octahedron. So it’s what I call an exterior octahedron, and inside, when I bring vector equilibrium to vector equilibrium this square face touches it there is an interior octahedron and there is an interior. Two types of octahedron that keep showing up interior and exterior to the nucleus. And they have to do with the loanings and the joinings of molecules, of the chemistry of atoms coming together. How you can loan so many charges one to the other. And this is what is done in here. Now the I’m going to, instead of I’m going to put eight and four rods coming thru a common center here, and weld them together nice shiny rods, we’ll say a quarter inch in diameter. And now that they are welded together I’m going to take, instead of eight triangles, I’m going to take eight little automobile tires. I’m going to have this rod, then, it’s diameter will be the size of the hole thru, get little toy automobile tires with the little metal wheel in the center, and then it has a little hole for a journal going through so we can slide it onto a rod. And I’m going to slide the eight automobile tires, toy automobile tires onto these rods, so that the plane of the tire this is the wheel, it’s over like this sliding in thru its hub at the center of gravity where the triangle would be here. So each one of those wheels will be touching another wheel at three points. Can you see that? There’s one here, there’s another one here, and so the automobile tires slide in on the rods until they keep meeting each other because they are converging so they begin to push very hard the rubber` on one another. So I bring them all in a equal distance and in tight contact with each others surface, and then I put a little journal on the outside of the rod so that they can’t slide outwardly we’ll use a little metal washer, and then some tape on there to hold them where they are, so they are held in tight friction with all the other automobile tires. That is a model you see up there behind my head. Once you have it on your minds maybe it will be more clear. There are then these eight wheels, and I find then they are absolutely independently journaled, free on here, yet they are touching one another. So if I take and put this if I hold onto this as a system, these rods then stick out and I can hold on to these rods independently, if I rotate one of these wheels here, then this one has to move they all move. If I rotate one all eight rotate reciprocally very beautifully. I can try anyone of them and I found all eight of them absolutely beautiful to go round and round, so this motion that you saw, I want you to suddenly realize this could be the same motion I say they’re rotating on each other, but this top one here is staying put and the ones around the equator are rolling along, can you see them? This one could go like that and then keep on going. Can you really feel them going around the equator? Well, alright. Now, for the first time, then, this has a limit until you come to the end of the hinges, but the one model I give you now there are no hinges, so they keep rotating one way or another and the whole thing is reciprocal. Then you’ll find , going thru these four pictures, I have up in the top left hand side a little white marker, and what I do now is to take a hold of one of the wheels with my fingers like this, so I immobilize that one wheel. And I take a hold of the wires that are sticking out and pull the system around the one that I am holding onto, because you’ll find the three touching they just roll nicely around they roll around, they’re ball bearings. And these ones are rolling this way. The three are rolling the other way and there is one at the top. As I hold this one fixed and I roll them around so there are out of eight of them three of them in the northern hemisphere, three of them in the southern hemisphere are rolling beautifully. But the top one is absolutely immobile. If I immobilize the bottom one, the top one is absolutely immobilized. And that is what you can see in this picture as I go around. Next picture. You see the marker will stay up there at the same position all the time. Next picture, I’m sorry, I seem to be so much in the way of this thing. Next picture. The hands had to really stay fixed at any rate. Now, what I have shown you is the I’ve given you an independence of the axes that you can fasten onto another system, yet the rest of the system can be carrying on. So, I said, every system I find always has axes, it always has an isolatable axes this is four dimensionality. Now, four axes of the basic symmetry. So the next thing I wanted to point out to you is that those rubber tires, I could have made them a distorted donut, to be a little triangular can you see? So they just look like a cam. Here’s the circle and I begin to make it go like that, so this is a little shorter radius, and this is a little bigger radius on the side, I could make each one of those a triangle. And if there were springs holding them in towards each other as they rotated, they would go into the position of the octahedron when they simply get down into this closest position of the sides of the triangles versus being on the corners of the triangles. So as I rotate the system everyone of those triangles is going to be pumping like that by just their own friction, and around and around they go. Now, the next thing about it that I am going to say remember I had an involuting and evoluting donut? Rubber donut? So I’m going to make each one of the triangular cam rubber tires into also involuting and evoluting so, when I hold onto one triangle at the bottom end, I’m holding onto it, which makes the one at the top do something, you’ll find this whole things goes through now I’ll take a hold of one edge and start to move it around force doing that, and the whole thing pumps like this and continues involuting and evoluting . And when you see something called turbulence this is what you are looking at. It’s a very, very beautiful thing. When we begin to really study what is turbulence, this is the big show! I find it fascinating that with just a relatively few models, begin again to be able to do this in your imagination. This is a very fascinating pattern, because the first time the scientists ever made photographs of the atom with a field emission microscope, it came out, you could really see the whole atom and it’s operating and it was this vector equilibrium. It’s that picture you see right there. I think we have that picture in a set somewhere. We’ll find it for you and we’ll put it on for you tomorrow. But it is really spectacularly there. The square is a little larger, it’s sort of that kind of an aberration or distortion, but you can really spot the whole twenty-five great circles. Next picture. And there we are looking at the icosahedron and its thirty-one great circles. And there is the icosahedron in the spherical with the venetian blind straps. Now I say there, you have seen now, the symmetries, actually, visually, the seven great symmetries of crystallography. You’re a crystallographer you spoke about it yesterday the normal way… This becomes very exciting to see! I found one that the crystallographers were not very familiar with were the twelve great circles, for some reason or other, of the vector equilibrium. Next picture. Now we are looking at them both, and this is the end of these particular slides that we are going to use. There are other slides, Meddy, that we had put aside, reconfirming some of the things we have been over here today; but we might as well let that go for the moment. I’m sure you are beginning to feel with me the interrelatedness of everything. I don’t think there is anything that I have talked about in all these hours now, and we’re getting pretty close now I think we’re about to sixteen hours that everything is continually interrelatable. And think how really different that is from all of the specialization and the times when I was young when biology didn’t seem to have anything really to do with chemistry and chemistry didn’t have anything to do with physics. The UTTER interrelatedness appearing! I’m going to bring you back to C.P. Snow and his book TWO WORLDS. And his book about the two worlds meant the two worlds of the humanities and the sciences, and he was absolutely convinced that there was a chasm building between them that absolutely would never be spanned. It was going to get worse and worse. He felt this was really a very great warning and that humanity must appreciate it. He, then, in his book, if you read it, he attributes the chasm beginnings he goes back to about a century and a half to the middle of the 19th century the first half of the 19th century. And he points out then, for instance in America Emerson and Thoreau, he felt manifested antipathy to industrialization. Snow says that. The actual fact is that I think that is a very bad example and I’ll give you good reason for it in a minute, but then he gave a number of authors in England, because he said, the literary man, the humanists just felt he didn’t like the smell of the laboratory, he didn’t like the feel of the factories that the labor was being cheated and so forth. It just felt wrong. C.P. Snow asked me to come to visit him, just for an afternoon in his apartment flat in London, England when I was there. And I went over the energetic-synergetic geometry with him, and I went back to the point where I’ve said to you that scientists, starting with the beautiful Priestly-Lavoisier set of events of identifying steam, and combustion metallurgy out of it came the steam and the ships and the great wealth that was made by the people who put steam in their ships and they didn’t have to wait for the wind in their sails. Brought about enormous patronage of the scientists and these great funds to the Royal Society out of which came thermodynamics. And I said to C.P. Snow, as long as it was steam, the humanist could then go to the scientist and say, “I see just what’s going on there you can see the steam, you can see how it goes you can turn it into pipe and things and you can see exactly what it does. You can FEEL it. It was no trouble for the humanists to describe that in a book. But when he got to electromagnetics and he couldn’t see what was going on, then the humanist said “You’ve got to tell us Mr. Scientist, what IS going on? you must give us a model so we can describe, it. We always have to describe what goes on. ” And that is the connection between science and humanists. And the scientists said “We can’t, it’s something invisible” and as I told you went into that the other day. And they felt a little guilty about it, but they suddenly felt great when they came to discovering in energy studies that black body radiation had a fourth power, exponential 4 rate of change, and they said, quite clearly then, nature you can’t make anything but a three dimensional model because to them dimension was perpendicularity. And they said “You can’t find another perpendicular system it’s just parallel to a line that is already there, therefore you cannot have a fourth dimension….but, “the scientists said ” Nature quite clearly is using a fourth-power inter-relationship, therefore, quite clearly Nature is not using models; therefore we are now excused and exempt from any requirements so we are justified in the position we did take, we’re very lucky we took the position!” As a consequence, Science, then, in the mid-19th century, what you and I, then, then would call “flying on instruments” they started flying on instruments and were not looking out the window anymore. And, they have been really flying for a century and a half on instruments. And this has really in the meantime when I was a kid, I was being told then that “no model and so forth” and I felt there was something probably wrong about that. Again, it is really interesting, the kind of strange suspicions I had that I’m not hearing things quite right, like the fractions and the decimals and so forth, and all the geometry arguments. What seemed to be self-evident to the geometer. I felt, then, that the we’d just get a more powerful microscope, and every time we’d get a microscope we could see something, because if Nature, then, really had a threshold, and she doesn’t really have models, she’d get to where she didn’t have any models. But when we got into that area, the people were saying there were only mathematical equations, then suddenly there were still some models. But the models were not easily explicable in the terms of x,y,z coordinates. So they say, the scientist used to say to me, that nature is just facetious, pay no attention to those pictures you see there. That was a very strange attitude but it still was quite strongly in the time of say World War I, and between World War I and the great crash. Thank you. At any rate, it was, then, my feeling that the scientists were in some way making bad starts and bad assumptions when I saw that Nature is continually using models and something went on very tantalizing that seemed to be more or less orderly. And, so that made me persist as I have here. At any rate, with C.P. Snow I showed him energetic-synergetic geometry, and I said to Snow “I don’t think it was antipathy of the writers for the smell of laboratories and factories that made them into I think it was simply the scientists saying to the humanists “We can’t give you a model. And C.P. Snow said “I really think you’re right.” So then I went over with him the energetic-synergetic geometry which he didn’t know about. And I said “It is my hope that we really do have conceptuality returning and the conceptuality comes because I can make the fourth-dimensional models. We’re not using up all this space around an omni-directional clock. I’ve got room for twenty hours and you only had room for eight, so with the twenty hours we can get in the fourth power no trouble at all. So, when we get to two frequency, for instance, vector equilibrium two frequency we get to where the volume is twenty times eight 160, and you find that that is two to the fifth power times five you can literally make the model of it! Alright, it gets to be very exciting that you can make At any rate I showed him the models and then I said, all the things that made them give up the idea of models, because they said Nature could not, she was using that mathematics but you could not make it into a model, but I said “You can make it into a model.” So any kid could really do nuclear physics here. That meeting of mine with C.P. Snow was about six years ago, and he, that New Years, when scientists are often asked to make some statements, he made a statement in England which came out in the New York Times that he was convinced by an American architect, that the chasm between the sciences and the humanities could be closed. That he would like to change his position. Now, I hope you begin to feel with me, because I feel a deep responsibility to have you feel with me that we really do have a potential coming up here, and that this is a great option for humanity, and I feel very committed to being sure that young people get a good chance at it. Because, I’m not going to go much farther into the energetic geometry today because I would like to keep sorting my models, because the models in the pictures we have are extremely informative. And, I do like giving you the pictures, and I’ve done it several times in the past, really make it in your own brain, but I think it’s better this way. Incidentally, there are the six great circles of the icosahedron. And there are the twelve holes in here. And those are our friend the same twelve of the closest packing of spheres there. Now, I’m going to ask for a break, because in the conducting of what I am doing with you doing everything spontaneously, I do not have something I really feel immediate that I want to get at, because I don’t have the tools and I feel a little bit of impotence about it. I would like to have a break, and it’s no where nearly time to stop, so that if you don’t mind a little more break we’ll try to get a few more slides.

As a longtime golfer, I had grown frustrated with how quickly my golf caps would start looking horrible as a result of perspiration stains. The brim and front of the cap would fade and show salt residue from sweat. The washing machine was little help. It would shrink and distort the shape of the cap. The capEVAP was born out of my need to solve this problem. ReZe Products, LLC is a Georgia based corporation that produces the capEVAP in the USA.

We have around 50 trees in our yard. It's not that we have a big lot, but our modest sized lot has a lot of trees on it. So many that grass only grows in designated sections of the yard which have been cleared to provide sufficient light. Everywhere else, nothing will grow so we mulch it. Such is life in North Carolina. Now, I don't mind. Growing up in the desert and being right tired of it by the time I left, I like a lot of greenery around me. And less grass means less to mow. But my wife would love to cut half of the trees down so that she can grow some other things of her choosing. A number of these trees are liquidambar styraciflua or as they're known around here, sweetgum trees. They have a leaf that looks a bit like a maple leaf and turns a lovely red color in the fall as well. That part I really like. But they also produce a crazy number of seed pods that blanket the yard and are a nuisance. They're hard and round and a bit of a hazard because they can roll when you step on them. And they hurt like a $%^*&~^%# when you step on them with bare feet! We usually pay our kids to get rid of them with the blower, but we didn't get around to it this fall so we still have a bunch of them. I put a few to use today to get some macro shots.

Was Jena Malone in 'Batman v Superman' After All? Presumed cut from the theatrical release, 'Dawn of Justice' may have snuck in a brief moment of the actress's mysterious role. Fans were bummed when it was announced actress Jena Malone, who had a “mysterious” role (rumored to be Barbara Gordon, a.k.a. Batgirl) in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was cut from the theatrical release. But maybe she wasn’t. Not entirely. Upon seeing the film for the second time, I noticed during the “Knightmare” sequence a red-haired/blonde-ish woman who fights with Batman against Superman’s army and Darkseid’s Parademons. Blink and you’ll miss it, but at one point Batman drags a young woman trying to help her stand. Her face is obscured by goggles, but she looks remarkably similar to Jena Malone, down to her haircut like in Zack Snyder’s 2011 movie Sucker Punch. Beyond a haircut, her character is dressed differently than Batman’s other soldiers, in the way a costume designer would make her stand out intentionally. Perhaps she had a few lines. Because the film is still in theaters it’s impossible to provide proof and it isn’t in any of the trailers, but I’m not the only one who thinks they noticed her. Several Redditors also think they spotted Malone. Plagued with pacing issues and plot holes, Dawn of Justice feels as if so much was left on the cutting room floor. Indeed, over thirty minutes that were removed was deemed worthy of inclusion in an R-rated version of the film to be released on Blu-ray and DVD. We’ll know then who Jena Malone portrays and how significant her role is/was, and hopefully we’ll also know if Dawn of Justice ever resembled a good movie. Ben Affleck in Dawn of Justice plays a veteran, older Batman with a 20-year career as a crimefighter under his utility belt. In that time he’s no doubt trained a few of his best-known allies; Robin seems to be dead in this universe), so it’s not a stretch to think he’s had time to train Batgirl, too. It’s just a shame she couldn’t play a real role in the film.

I first made this dish years ago as a vegetarian main course for eight of us – a mixed group of veggies and carnivores. The meat-eaters had their own dish to tuck into but they mostly ignored it in favour of the pumpkin fondue. In those days I also had the book which this recipe comes from, called Fresh In Autumn, by Alastair Hendy. The book disappeared in a house move and I’ve been making this from memory ever since. If anyone has a copy they could perhaps let me know how far I’ve strayed from the original. This is a substantial dish and I save my Berrettina and Marina di Chioggia pumpkins for fondues, partly because they are the right size and shape, but mainly because these varieties have that deep, nutty, sweet potato flavour and dense texture. You don’t want a watery pumpkin or this will leech into the cheese sauce. The pleasure, apart from scooping up globules of rich cheese with the bread, is that after the cheese sauce is mostly finished you can spoon out large chunks of cheesy pumpkin. (from Fresh For Autumn, Alastair Hendy) 1 medium pumpkin 1 onion, finely chopped 1 clove garlic, crushed 125ml white wine 600g Emmental or Gruyere cheese, or any suitably melty vegetarian cheese 4 sprigs fresh sage, finely chopped 125ml soured cream Preheat the oven to 180C. Slice the top off the pumpkin and scoop out all the stringy bits and seeds. Rub the surface of the flesh inside with the butter. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Place the 'lid' back on the pumpkin and bake in the oven for 45 minutes, or until soft. Meanwhile, melt the rest of the butter in a large pan and add the onion and garlic. Saute until soft and translucent. Add the wine and bring to a simmer, then add the cheese and sage and stir regularly until the cheese is melted. Check seasoning for salt and add if necessary. Then spoon the cheese sauce into the pumpkin, stir in the soured cream and continue to bake for another 20 minutes. Slice the French bread into bite-sized pieces. Diners should spear the French bread with a fork or fondue stick and swirl it around in the cheese sauce to eat. Once the cheese sauce has been eaten, the pumpkin flesh can be scooped out and eaten as well.

MINNEAPOLIS — Ryan Brasier had not pitched in a game for six consecutive days when Red Sox manager Alex Cora sent him out to protect a 2-0 lead in the ninth inning against the Minnesota Twins on Monday night. The righthander was away from the team following the death of his father-in-law, going on Major League Baseball’s bereavement list so he could return to Texas with his wife and two children. Had Brasier needed a day or two to be ready to pitch again, everybody would have understood. But he arranged to get treatment on his arm, played catch a couple of times and even threw off a mound. “Tried to stay on top of things,” Brasier said. It showed against the Twins, as Brasier retired C.J. Cron, Marwin Gonzalez, and Miguel Sano on 11 pitches, the last a 98-mile-per-hour fastball he blew by a swinging Sano to finish off one of the most satisfying victories of the season for the Sox. That Brasier returned ready to pitch was significant, given the shape of the Red Sox bullpen. Brandon Workman was ruled out of the game after pitching in four of the previous five games. Cora also wanted to stay away from Matt Barnes and Marcus Walden. The index card that lists the availability of the relief pitchers before the game had a lot of red squares and only a few greens. “For everything that he went through, he actually took time to work on his craft,” Cora said. “That’s to show you how professional he is. He understands that he has a job to do. But at the same time, obviously, his family’s situation is more important. But he took time to keep his arm in shape, and today he did an outstanding job.” Brasier told the Sox before he left that he would do what he could to not lose his edge while away. “I wanted to stay at it,” he said. “I basically threw a bullpen the second to the last day I was home. I didn’t watch the games much. It’s weird being away from the team, but at the same time that’s not what I was thinking about.” Over the course of a long season, even one inning can change so much. The Sox opened a big series with a win and were able to rest their primary relievers. They also have won six straight for the first time this season. “Just keep getting better; that’s the most important thing,” Cora said. “It’s been good for six days now, there’s some strides, but we’re not where we want to be yet.” The save was Brasier’s seventh of the season but his first since April 21. He had fallen down the list of late-inning options but came through on Monday when needed. When Brasier got to Target Field before the game, he threw a few pitches off the bullpen mound and told the coaches he could pitch in the game as needed. “That’s what I expected,” he said. “The bullpen has been taxed the last three or four games. I was ready to go.” After Rick Porcello pitched seven strong innings, Colten Brewer came in for the eighth with a 1-0 lead and quickly put two runners on before squirming out of the jam. That Jorge Polanco, a .332 hitter, decided on his own to put down a sacrifice bunt gave Brewer his first out helped the cause. Brewer was the only player watching from the dugout when the Red Sox received their World Series rings back on April 9. The lanky righthander was the only player from outside the organization added to the 40-man roster in the offseason. “That was a new experience,” he said. “But maybe it was good to have somebody new who was hungry to win.” Brewer did not pitch well in April and May but so far this month has worked eight innings without allowing an earned run. He’s learning his job, and Cora is learning when best to use him. But Brasier still had to lock it down against a Twins team that came into the game with the best record and highest-scoring offense in baseball. “It’s huge,” Brasier said. “We’re rolling right now, and to keep it rolling against a team like that — scratch some runs together and keep them off the board — is huge.” Now the Sox have a chance to win the series and build more momentum. “We’re all feeling pretty good,” Brewer said. “This is turning our way now.”

Your child could be diagnosed with: - Avulsion – The nerve rips away from the spine. - Neuroma – The nerve tears and heals, but there is scar tissue. - Rupture – The nerve is torn but does not separate from the spine. - Neurapraxia – The nerve is stretched but is not torn. Some infants recover fully from Erb’s Palsy when it is treated early. However, many infants continue to have some weakness in the fingers, hand, and/or arm. Some children suffer from lifelong impairments and disabilities because of Erb’s Palsy. What Are the Signs and Symptoms of Erb’s Palsy? The signs and symptoms of Erb’s Palsy depend on the severity and type of injury. However, common symptoms include: - A newborn’s arm is extended straight at the elbow and held against the body - No movement in a newborn’s upper or lower arm or hand - A newborn has a decreased grip on the affected side - Loss of feeling in the arm - Weakness in the arm, including partial or total paralysis of the arm Typically, a pediatrician diagnoses Erb’s Palsy based on weakness or paralysis in the infant’s arm. They might order an ultrasound, X-ray, and other tests to determine the specific type of injury and the extent of the injury. Treatment often includes physical therapy, but some injuries may require surgical treatment. Filing a Medical Malpractice Claim for Erb’s Palsy in Chicago, IL Unfortunately, many medical providers underestimate the amount of force applied to the baby’s neck and head during childbirth, especially during a difficult delivery. Excessive force can cause significant damage to the brachial plexus. Specific procedures and maneuvers exist to deliver a baby safely when shoulder dystocia occurs. The procedures are designed to avoid excessive forces on the baby’s head, which can result in Erb’s Palsy. A doctor or other medical provider could be responsible if their error or negligence caused Erb’s Palsy. Errors during prenatal care, labor, and delivery can contribute to or cause Erb’s Palsy, including: - Failing to recognize the risk factors during prenatal care that could increase the risk of a difficult delivery - Misuse of vacuum extractors or forceps during delivery - Forcefully pulling the baby’s head during delivery - Failing to order a C-section during a complicated delivery Additionally, failing to diagnose and begin treatment for Erb’s Palsy could be negligent conduct. Proving that your doctor is responsible for Erb’s Palsy can be challenging. If you suspect your baby’s injury was caused by medical negligence, speaking with an experienced Chicago medical malpractice lawyer is in your and your child’s best interest.

Last Year’s Fawn Shows Her Appreciation Our capital improvement this year is a newly fenced-in field for fawns. The area has electric fencing surrounding it as well. Our first test day went well with the fawns enjoying the extra room to run around. They sunned themselves, played tag and munched on the green grass. All was well, or so we thought. On the third day one of our little girls, Moonshine, snuck under a low spot in the fencing. We tried everything to get her back into the corral. I even tried to grab her through the fence. Big mistake, she spun out and kicked hard. None of our coaxing worked. We were all very worried about a young fawn on her own. Night fell and there was nothing we could do until morning. Early the next day here comes Moonshine with an adult doe leading the way. Clover, one of our deer from the prior year had adopted the little fawn. From then on Little Moonshine followed Clover where ever she went. A month later the rest of the Fawns were released. Moonshine and Clover come twice a day now for corn feed as do the other five fawns, Lightning, Rainbow, Shamrock, Sunshine and Twister. They have become one little herd led by the Motherly Clover.

I enjoy getting to know a business and finding out what their strong attributes are and put them into words.

At times last season watching the Mississippi State offense was a thing of beauty. Sure Relf wasn't the prettiest passer, but when the spread option offense worked as it should last season for State, the Bulldog's easily racked up yardage on their way to a 9-4 season and a Gator Bowl victory. This season however, the Bulldog's offense has not found the rhythm it worked in in 2010, and the results so far have been 3 lackluster offensive performances and a 2-3 start to the season. For Whom the Cowbell Tolls takes a look at the Statistics of the Bulldog offense and their future opponents' defenses to take a look at how the last 7 games can unfold. The graphic above tells that tale of the Bulldog Offense's high's and low's so far in the 2011 season. Although you can probably throw out the yardage vs. LSU due to the abounding talent of the Tigers, either way you view it the numbers of Coach Dan Mullen's Spread Option have decreased each week. But what has changed? The talent level of the opponent? Auburn's defense gave up a mere 289 yards of total offense to a pretty good (minus Garcia) South Carolina offense. State put up 531 total yards against Auburn. Obviously injuries on the offensive line play a part in the declining results of the past 3 games. Some fans have also grumbled that the playcalling seems to have less flow and synchronicity to it, as the Bulldogs have shied away from their bread and butter option running attack. Although that is partially fair, most of the playcalling adjustments have been made due to injuries and offensive personnel changes. Let's take a look at how our first 5 opponents defense's have fared on the whole this season. Frankly I'm quite surprised Memphis' total yardage is even that low. The college football world found out in the weeks after our game with the Tigers that they really may be the worst team in CFB this season. Looking past that first game though, it looks like State performed about on par with what the opponents defenses have given up so far this year. When you look at it, it's really quite surprising that Auburn sit's at 4-1 with a defense 11th in the league and getting gashed more than was the case last season. Nevertheless, State's offensive totals have declined over the past several weeks, and in order to still make a bowl game this season, the numbers will have to begin to trend back upwards. Now let's take a look at the total defense for teams that State will face in the weeks to come. Not a ton of surprises in this group. UAB (especially), TSUN, Arkansas and Kentucky all will bring less than suspect defenses into their games with the Bulldogs. South Carolina's defense however will be tough, and lets not even talk about Alabama's defense because every time we talk about their defense, Tyler Wilson curls up in a ball again and rocks himself to sleep. The outlier in this statistical lineup has to be UT-Martin though sporting a staunch 316.6 yard per game defensive average. Although I haven't looked at their opponent list for the season thus far, I have to believe that State will pose at least an offense tougher than the majority of what the SkyHawks have seen so far this season. Looking first at the UAB game, it's more than obvious that State catches the Blazers at a perfect time. At 2-3 and struggling offensively, a defense that's averaging giving up 500+ yards per game is just what the doctor ordered. Although I'd hope that the guys don't take UAB lightly, one would hope that this would be a great game to exercise some of the offensive demons we've had so far this year. This game would be perfect to see if we can get back into our Option rhythm and get back that confidence we had last season in Vick Ballard, LaDarious Perkins and Chris Relf's running attack. If we can start making the big plays, put together drives and improve our rushing attack, I would look for State to match about what the Blazers give up on the season and come out with a win. South Carolina will present a whole different set of challenges. With Clowney and Ingram up front, it may be tougher to get the offensive machine completely cranked up. But coming off a game in which HOPEFULLY this Bulldog team will be able to gain some confidence, one would think that confidence can translate over to this home game vs. the Gamecocks and State can better their record to 4-3. If they are able to beat the Gamecocks at home in two weeks, build offensive momentum and get playmakers like Bumphis and Perkins and Heavens that have been MIA most of the season involved, then the next two games should be gimme W's for the team as well. 6-3 into Alabama. Most people at this point don't think that's a remotely achievable goal, but with the way the schedule is laid out before State, I think it is. Although something we haven't always been able to harness, momentum can be a fickle yet rewarding mistress, and a win against the Ole Ball Coach would go along way towards springboarding this team back on the right track. I will withhold discussing Alabama and Arkansas at this point due to their distance in the season's future and the owee factor of having to discuss playing against bama's stout defense. But no matter if Alabama beats us 100-0 or 10-9, if this team can go into the final 3 games of the season with a chance at 7-4 or maybe even 8-4 and another bowl game, then Coach Mullen will have more than proven his worth and and exten$ion. No matter the yardage, the points, the defenses, the analysis, the Bulldogs MUST start the second half of the season off with a win versus UAB on Saturday. Lose to the Blazers and we can go ahead and start talking about how good Moultrie and Sidney will be down low together this season for the Roundball Dogs. Here's a look at State's Statistics in all categories so far this year:
