http://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/1109/1109.3264.pdf   }Auroral hiss is a type of whistler mode radio emission which frequently occurs in high latitude regions of planetary magnetospheres and also observed by Galileo spacecraft over the Jupiter's moon Io during a flyby of Io in October 16, 2001. These results imply that as a spacecraft flies through a region of whistler mode emission propagating along the resonance cone it will encounter higher frequencies first, and detect lower frequencies only near the midpoint of its pass through this region. It is clear that the detection of such emissions is dependent upon the location of spacecraft as it orbits the planet.

There has been a deliberate suppression of important scientific papers by the community of physicists and astronomers concerning the black hole, beginning with the original paper by Karl Schwarzschild of 1916, evidently for vainglory, money and self-aggrandisement. I bring you free access to those papers, and others of relevance, in the hope that this fraud can be exposed and physics restored to a rational search for knowledge. The black hole has no foundation in theory whatsoever. Neither Newton's theory nor Einstein's theory predict it. In fact, both theories preclude it, contrary to what the orthodox relativists claim.  And also see

The object, which the researchers have nicknamed Planet Nine, has a mass about 10 times that of Earth and orbits about 20 times farther from the sun on average than does Neptune (which orbits the sun at an average distance of 2.8 billion miles). In fact, it would take this new planet between 10,000 and 20,000 years to make just one full orbit around the sun. The planet is thought to be gaseous, similar to Uranus and Neptune.

http://www.electricuniverse.info/Introduction   }”The Electric Universe theory highlights the importance of electricity throughout the Universe. It is based on the recognition of existing natural electrical phenomena (e.g. lightning, St Elmo's Fire), and the known properties of plasmas (ionized "gases") which make up 99.999% of the visible universe, and react strongly to electro-magnetic fields. Much of the material considered by the Electric Universe is peer-reviewed, but not all (see Speculative Theories, below).”

http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2008/30oct_ftes/   }"On the dayside of Earth (the side closest to the sun), Earth's magnetic field presses against the sun's magnetic field. Approximately every eight minutes, the two fields briefly merge or "reconnect," forming a portal through which particles can flow. The portal takes the form of a magnetic cylinder about as wide as Earth. The European Space Agency's fleet of four Cluster spacecraft and NASA's five THEMIS probes have flown through and surrounded these cylinders, measuring their dimensions and sensing the particles that shoot through. "They're real," says Sibeck.”  Note, however, that magnetic fields do not actually “reconnect”; that is a misnomer left over from the days of gravity-only astrophysics.  For example, see
https://www.thunderbolts.info/tpod/2006/arch06/060711magnetic.htm   }Electrical engineers and plasma cosmologists will tell you that magnetic reconnection is one of the most contradictory ideas that astronomers ever derived from the mistaken belief that there are no electric currents in space. Astronomers today are taking pictures of something they call “magnetic reconnection” on the Sun, and space probes are measuring something else in the Earth's magnetosphere that has also been given the same name. If you ask a plasma cosmologist about these, he'll tell you that the astronomers don't know what they're talking about. They're looking at well-understood plasma phenomena,  exploding double layers and electric discharge, not "magnetic reconnection".

http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S092442471300143X    }This paper reports on an electromagnetic vibration energy harvester that utilizes a novel method of energy pumping based frequency up-conversion to effectively harvest energy from a broad range of low frequency (<18 Hz) ambient vibrations. Energy from low frequency vibrations is absorbed by a low frequency bounded resonator and subsequently pumped, in the form of pulses, to a high frequency resonator. The mechanical energy of the high frequency resonator is then transferred to the electrical domain by electromagnetic induction. The test results proved that the energy pumping based mechanical frequency up-conversion gets benefit from the resonance amplification phenomenon at multiple frequencies corresponding to higher order of resonances. Resonance amplification at multiple frequencies can improve the efficiency of harvesting energy from broadband vibrations and from sources where energy is distributed in different harmonics.

http://phl.upr.edu/projects/earth-similarity-index-esi      }The Earth Similarity Index (ESI), or the "easy scale," is a multiparameter first assessment of Earth-likeness for solar and extrasolar planets as a number between zero (no similarity) and one (identical to Earth). Such similarity indices are used in many fields and provide a powerful tool for categorizing and extracting patterns from large and complex datasets. The ESI can be used to prioritize exoplanets observations, perform statistical assessments and develop planetary classifications. It is used as a way to sort the objects of interest of the Habitable Exoplanets Catalog.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circumstellar_habitable_zone     }"In astronomy and astrobiology, the circumstellar habitable zone (CHZ), or simply the habitable zone, is the region around a star within which planetary-mass objects with sufficient atmospheric pressure can support liquid water at their surfaces. The bounds of the CHZ are calculated using the known requirements of Earth's biosphere, its position in the Solar System and the amount of radiant energy it receives from the Sun. Due to the importance of liquid water to life as it exists on Earth, the nature of the CHZ and the objects within is believed to be instrumental in determining the scope and distribution of Earth-like extraterrestrial life and intelligence. The habitable zone is also called the Goldilocks zone...”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_Similarity_Index     }"The Earth Similarity Index (ESI or "easy scale") is a measure of how physically similar a planetary-mass object is to Earth. It is a scale from zero to one, with Earth having a value of one. The ESI was designed to measure planets, but the formula can also be applied to large natural satellites and other objects. The ESI is a function of the planet's radius, density, escape velocity, and surface temperature. These parameters are often estimated based on one or more known variables. Such variables depend greatly on the method of observation used. For example, surface temperature is influenced by a variety of factors including irradiance, tidal heating, albedo, insolation and greenhouse warming. “  “This article needs attention from an expert in Astronomy.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_European_Torus   }The JET facilities are situated on a former Navy airfield near Culham, Oxfordshire – RNAS Culham (HMS Hornbill), in the UK. The construction of the buildings which house the project was undertaken by Tarmac Construction, starting in 1978 with the Torus Hall being completed in January 1982. Construction of the JET machine itself began immediately after the completion of the Torus Hall, with the first plasma experiments in 1983. The components for the JET machine came from manufacturers all over Europe, with these components transported to the site. Because of the extremely high power requirements for the tokamak, and the fact that power draw from the main grid is limited, two large flywheel generators were constructed to provide this necessary power. Each 775 ton flywheel can spin up to 225 rpm.  One generator provides power for the 32 toroidal field coils, the other for inner poloidal field coils. The outer field coils draw their power from the grid.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetosphere_of_Jupiter    }Jupiter's internal magnetic field is generated by electrical currents in the planet's outer core, which is composed of liquid metallic hydrogen. Volcanic eruptions on Jupiter's moon Io eject large amounts of sulfur dioxide gas into space, forming a large torus around the planet. Jupiter's magnetic field forces the torus to rotate with the same angular velocity and direction as the planet.

The aurorae are related to the powerful saturnian kilometric radiation (SKR), which spans the frequency interval between 100 kHz to 1300 kHz and was once thought to modulate with a period equal to the planet's rotation. However, later measurements showed that the periodicity of the SKR's modulation varies by as much as 1%, and so probably does not exactly coincide with Saturn’s true rotational period, which as of 2010 remains unknown. Inside the magnetosphere there are radiation belts, which house particles with energy as high as tens of megaelectronvolts. The energetic particles have significant influence on the surfaces of inner icy moons of Saturn.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planetary_habitability      }"Planetary habitability is the measure of a planet's or a natural satellite's potential to develop and sustain life. Life may develop directly on a planet or satellite or be transferred to it from another body, a theoretical process known as panspermia. As the existence of life beyond Earth is unknown, planetary habitability is largely an extrapolation of conditions on Earth and the characteristics of the Sun and Solar System which appear favorable to life's flourishing—in particular those factors that have sustained complex, multicellular organisms and not just simpler, unicellular creatures. Research and theory in this regard is a component of planetary science and the emerging discipline of astrobiology.”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whistler_(radio)     }A whistler is a very low frequency or VLF electromagnetic (radio) wave generated by lightning.  Frequencies of terrestrial whistlers are 1 kHz to 30 kHz, with a maximum amplitude usually at 3 kHz to 5 kHz. Although they are electromagnetic waves, they occur at audio frequencies, and can be converted to audio using a suitable receiver. They are produced by lightning strokes (mostly intra-cloud and return-path) where the impulse travels along the Earth's magnetic field lines from one hemisphere to the other. They undergo dispersion of several kHz due to the slower velocity of the lower frequencies through the plasma environments of the ionosphere and magnetosphere. Thus they are perceived as a descending tone which can last for a few seconds. The study of whistlers categorizes them into Pure Note, Diffuse, 2-Hop, and Echo Train types.

http://phys.org/news/2014-12-chemically-driven-micro-nanomotors.html#inlRlv   }At least since the movie "The Fantastic Voyage" in 1966, in which a submarine is shrunk down and injected into the blood stream of a human, people have been toying with the idea of sending tiny "micromachines" and "nanorobots" into our organs or individual cells to carry out delicate "repairs". This is now beginning to approach the realm of possibility. In the journal Angewandte Chemie, scientists from Stuttgart present the current state of research in the area of catalytic micro- and nanomotors. Read more at:
http://phys.org/news/2014-12-chemically-driven-micro-nanomotors.html#jCp   }The scientists took advantage of precisely this fluid property. They control the scallop so that it opens much faster than it closes. "This temporally asymmetric pattern of movement causes the fluid to be less viscous during opening than during the subsequent closing stroke," says doctoral student Tian Qiu, a member of the team in Stuttgart. Thus the distance the scallop travels when opening is not the same as the distance it moves backward when closing, and this causes net forward propulsion. This marks the first time an artificial device of this size has ever been able to move through fluids by means of symmetrical motion cycles, says Tian Qiu. To control their micro-swimmers, the researchers integrated tiny rare-earth magnets in the two scallop shells. This enables them to control how the scallop shells open and close – and ultimately how the device moves – by applying an external magnetic field. However, the researchers' discovery that micro-devices can swim through some liquids with symmetrical movements does not just apply to magnetically-driven micro-robots. Indeed, a scallop-shaped miniature submarine could also be driven by an actuator that responds, for example, to temperature changes.

It is quickly on its way to replace the traditional silicon as the top electronic material for faster transistors. Graphene devices have been made previously by placing the graphene sheet on top of an insulating substrate, such as silicon dioxide. However, this substrate can degrade the electronic properties of the graphene. However, the team of researchers has found a solution to minimize that.

These polymers exists as viscous liquids at temperatures above the melting point of the crystals. Upon cooling, crystals nucleate and grow to fill the available volume. The reason these materials are called "semicrystalline" is that some fraction of the polymer remains un-crystallized, or, amorphous when the polymer is cooled to room temperature. The amorphous polymer becomes trapped between the growing crystals. As a result of the highly entangled nature of the polymer chains, the movement of the amorphous polymer becomes restricted.

By applying a learning algorithm to parsed text, we have developed methods that can automatically identify the concepts in the text and the relations between them. For example, reading the phrase "heavy water rich in the doubly heavy hydrogen atom called deuterium", our algorithm learns (and adds to its semantic network) the fact that deuterium is a type of atom (Snow et al., 2005). By applying this procedure (and extensions: Snow et al., 2006, Snow et al., 2007) to large amounts of text, our algorithms automatically acquires hundreds of thousands of items of world knowledge, and uses these to produce significantly enhanced versions of WordNet (made freely available online). WordNet (a laboriously hand-coded database) is a major NLP resource, but has proven to be very expensive to manually build and maintain. By automatically inducing knowledge to add to WordNet, our work provides an even greater NLP resource (e.g., significantly greater precision/recall in identifying various relations), but at a tiny fraction of the cost.

In many situations, it seems as if it would be useful for a search for one of these words to return documents that contain another word in the set. The goal of both stemming and lemmatization is to reduce inflectional forms and sometimes derivationally related forms of a word to a common base form.“

Hesiod, Homer and other Greek authors give us no doubt Lemnos's signs are of Pelasgian language. But they are not Indo-European. The language is completely unknown, and some researches even believe (following ancient legends) that Lemnos Island's inscriptions are close to Etruscan and Rhaetic language.

As an academic field it involves the practice of information processing, and the engineering of information systems. It studies the structure, algorithms, behavior, and interactions of natural and artificial systems which store, process, access, and communicate information. The field considers the interaction between humans and information systems alongside the construction of computer interfaces. It also develops its own conceptual and theoretical foundations and utilizes foundations developed in other fields. As such, the field of informatics has great breadth and encompasses many individual specializations including the more particular discipline of computing science.

V. Views of Schizophrenia.

https://www.betterhelp.com/advice/    }we added this site at their request. Page is Articles & Advice about Mental Health. 97 links on the page. Here are two of the pages where S. is specifically mentioned:
https://www.betterhelp.com/advice/general/beyond-irrational-thoughts-what-causes-them/    }However, if not properly maintained, negative emotions can affect the mind greatly and can influence your behavior and permanently damage the brain. Some may develop paranoia, extreme nervousness, schizophrenia, and phobias.
https://www.betterhelp.com/advice/personality-disorders/are-you-overly-cautious-or-suffering-from-paranoid-personality-disorder/    }The disorders under Cluster A (especially schizotypal personality disorder) are usually linked to schizophrenia as they share similar traits (for example, displaying eccentric behavior, having a distorted view of reality) and research suggests some people (a small percentage) with a Cluster A disorder may go on to develop schizophrenia or another psychotic disorder.   
https://www.betterhelp.com/gethelpnow/   }If you are in a crisis or any other person may be in danger the following resources can provide you with immediate help, in ten different countries: Australia, Canada, Germany, New Zealand, Republic of Ireland, South Africa, Spain, United States, United Kingdom.
http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/sociopolitica/esp_sociopol_mindcon46.htm    }In place of a process of a labeling which brought alienation and often detention, sectioning, and mind altering anti-psychotic medication, many psychoanalysts and psychotherapists felt that even in severe cases of schizoid withdrawal we were not necessarily wasting our time in attempting to restore health by the difficult work of unraveling experiences in order to make sense of an illness. In this way, psychoanalysis has been, in its most radical form, a critic of a society, which failed to exercise imaginative empathy when passing judgment on people. The work of Harry Stack Sullivan, Frieda Fromm-Reichmann, Harold Searles or R.D. Laing - all trained as psychiatrists and all of them rebels against the standard procedures – provided a way of working with people very different from the psychiatric model, which seemed to encourage a society to repress its sickness by making a clearly split off group the carriers of it.
http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/salud/salud_magnesio02.htm     }There is now little question that stress can kill, meaning that magnesium deficiencies can put you in your grave. Harvard physiologist Walter Cannon recognized 90 years ago that when confronted by a threat - physical or emotional, real or imagined - the body responds with a rise in blood pressure, heart rate, muscle tension and breathing rate. We now know that this physiological “stress response” involves hormones and inflammatory chemicals that can foster everything from headaches to heart attacks in overdose. It is clear that magnesium deficiency or imbalance plays a role in the symptoms of mood disorders. Observational and experimental studies have shown an association between magnesium and aggression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, depression, and schizophrenia.
http://brainblogger.com/2012/05/29/full-recovery-from-schizophrenia/      }This is the first of a series of blog postings related to my own series of research studies (my doctoral research at Saybrook University) of people who have made full and lasting medication-free recoveries after being diagnosed with schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders. This is very exciting research because it is one of the few areas within psychological research that remains almost completely wide open. One reason it is so wide open is that most Westerners don’t believe that genuine recovery from schizophrenia and other related psychotic disorders is possible, in spite of significant evidence to the contrary.
http://www.bluelight.org/vb/archive/index.php/t-530760.html    }Lisdexamfetamine is being tested by its marketer on people with schizophrenia. Preliminary findings have already been collected. Source (
http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT00922272?term=lisdexamfetamine+schizophrenia&rank=1   ). The subject pool actually includes only people with predominantly negative symptoms of schizophrenia (epidemiological studies say this is 20-30% of all schizophrenics). lisdexamfetamine: IUPAC name: (2S)-2,6-diamino-N-[(2S)-1-phenylpropan-2-yl]hexanamide; methanesulfonic acid.
http://www.bluelight.org/vb/threads/626823-Recovering-from-drug-induced-psychosis       }I'd just love to hear from other people who have been through a serious drug-induced psychosis (mine was mostly from psychedelics/methoxetamine/weed/fake-weed but any drugs'll do), and what their recovery was like. One interesting/disturbing thing about antipsychotics is they make you too restless to sleep. You DO sleep but your dreams are of you tossing and turning in your bed. And you have nightmares that are difficult to distinguish from reality.
http://www.bluelight.org/vb/threads/410140-Endogenous-psychoactive-tryptamines-reconsidered-an-anxiolytic-role-for-DMT         }Endogenous DMT was investigated in the 1960s and 1970s and it was proposed that DMT was involved in psychosis and schizophrenia. This hypothesis developed from comparisons of the blood and urine of schizophrenic and control subjects.
http://www.bluelight.org/vb/threads/700836-Bipolar-Schizophrenia-coping-mechanisms     }I suffer from both. the actual diagnosis I was given was Bipolar-Schizophrenia disorder. Because these probably add on to the effects of that diagnosis, I'll include that I also have anxiety as well as manic depression. I have pretty much every symptom of both, besides the fact that my auditory hallucinations don't tell me to hurt other people. They tell me to hurt myself. The symptoms or effects I struggle most with are the sense of urgency without reason, really low-low points in mood, and the feeling of hopelessness.

To better understand how this understanding which is so contrary to the widespread understanding of psychosis has emerged, it will help if we break this discussion into two parts: (1) a summary of the research associated with the “brain disease theory” of schizophrenia & psychosis; and (2) a summary of the research that has given rise to this alternative understanding.

http://www.oikos.org/baten.htm    }"It is to the Riddle of the Sphinx that I have devoted fifty years of professional life as an anthropologist. It is of first-class importance that our answer to the Riddle of the Sphinx should be in step with how we conduct our civilisation, and this should in turn be in step with the actual workings of living systems. A major difficulty is that the answer to the Riddle of the Sphinx is partly a product of the answers that we already have given to the riddle in its various forms. Kurt Vonnegut gives us wary advice - that we should be careful what we pretend because we become what we pretend. And something like that, some sort of self-fulfilment, occurs in all organisations and human cultures. What people presume to be ‘human’ is what they will build in as premises of their social arrangements, and what they build in is sure to be learned, is sure to become a part of the character of those who participate. And along with this self-validation of our answers, there goes something still more serious - namely, that any answer which we promote, as it becomes partly true through our promoting of it, becomes partly irreversible. There is a lag in these affairs."

Not long after I met Bernie, a producer spot opened for his night time show. It was the most fun job I’ve ever had, and Bernie, in spite of his reputation  as angry, cranky, or mean, was great to work with. ... “I never thought about it that way,” Bernie said, and he put me on air for the first time. It felt great to have my ideas amplified through that microphone, wafting out over the Bay Area. Bernie essentially disagreed with me, but he was able to see my point of view and then elaborate on it. That’s a talent few people have. He encouraged me to write down my thoughts. I started publishing pieces in newspapers and magazines. Then I started getting invited on TV programs– CNN, FOX News, Good Morning America.

Other Whistleblowers & Watchdogs:
https://www.commondreams.org/news/2016/07/20/whistleblowers-nuke-watchdogs-not-doing-enough-prevent-canadian-fukushima    }Anonymous whistleblowers have reportedly raised the alarm over nuclear safety in Canada, with an open letter warning of underestimated hazards and undisclosed risks that could make the nation vulnerable to a Fukushima-style disaster. The letter, sent several weeks ago to Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) president Michael Binder, was purportedly written by an internal group of specialists who opted for anonymity because they "are not confident in whistleblower protection."
https://www.compliancebuilding.com/2017/11/14/watching-the-watch-dogs/    }According to a story by Jean Eaglesham in the Wall Street Journal, at least two employees working for SEC’s Inspector General have filed complaints alleging that he and his senior staff retaliated against them for calling out misconduct within the inspector general’s office. The whistleblowers’ concerns focus on how Carl Hoecker, the SEC inspector general, handled their complaints.  The whistleblowers allege that the internal investigation wasn’t sufficiently independent to be fair. They also claim that they suffered retaliation for voicing their concerns.
http://www.govexec.com/oversight/2017/10/cia-watchdog-nominee-denies-charges-whistleblower-retaliation/141848/    }Christopher Sharpley, the acting CIA watchdog whom President Trump has nominated to be permanent inspector general, on Tuesday expressed skepticism about revelations by a whistleblower advocacy group that there are three outstanding cases alleging retaliation by his office.  Two of the complaints were lodged with the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community, and a third is now before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.” One involved sex and age discrimination.
http://www.pogo.org/straus/issues/military-reform/2017/watchdog-finds-majority-of-pentagon-whistleblowers-out-of-luck.html?utm_source=straus-newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=straus-1710&utm_content=image    }Whistleblowers are essential for Inspectors General to uncover waste, fraud, and abuse. A new report by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) found significant inconsistences in how civilian, contractor, and intelligence whistleblower allegations are handled by the Department of Defense Inspector General (DoD IG), raising questions about whether the office can fairly and appropriately handle those who come forward with allegations of misconduct. The report is a slog—reviewing policies in place but not always whether they’re actually being implemented or if they are effective.  
https://publicwatchdogs.org/resources/    }a single-issue activism.
https://publicwatchdogs.org/special-message-potential-whistle-blowers/    }Instead, they did what the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) is doing now:  They hired high priced attorneys to conduct a cover up. They smoothed things over with the higher-ups at the FBI and the Department of Justice. They were really sneaky about it.
http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/bad-things-happen-to-whistleblowers-when-watchdogs-become-attack-dogs/article/2556324   }The whistleblower reports wrongdoing to the inspector general. The IG does nothing except forward the complaint to the agency. The agency retaliates against the whistleblower. “They never listen to whistleblowers,” said Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, a longtime champion of protecting those who expose agency wrongdoing. “They are punishing whistleblowers instead of considering them good, patriotic Americans. They are treated like a skunk at a picnic.”
https://www.whistleblower.org/truth-be-told-it-isn%E2%80%99t-tagline-it%E2%80%99s-our-driving-purpose   }The Government Accountability Project is the nation’s leading whistleblower protection and advocacy organization. A non-partisan public-interest group, GAP litigates whistleblower cases, helps expose wrongdoing to the public, and actively promotes government and corporate accountability. Since 1977, GAP has helped over 6,000 whistleblowers.

VII. Enneagram Studies.

Intro: Enneagram Studies or Applications come in four basic types (1) Gurdjieff types, including Ouspensky, Bennett, etc.; (2) Riso-Hudson et al types, derived from Naranjo; (3) Ichazo types, wherefrom Naranjo derived his (although aware of the Gurdjieff), and (4) Historical sources, such as Plotinus, etc.
The word enneagram is pronounced “en – knee – uh – gram”, and this is the only correct pronunciation of the word in American English. All other pronunciations are aberrant for speakers of American English.

http://www.gurdjiefflegacy.org/70links/enneagram.htm    }Like The Fourth Way itself, the enneagram has not been known up to the present time. "The enneagram," said Gurdjieff, "has for a very long time been preserved in secret and if it now is, so to speak, made available to all, it is only in an incomplete and theoretical form." This, and the fact that it is a part of a teaching, has not deterred those who have sought to market the enneagram, divested of its deeper meaning and application, as a psychological tool.

The Enneagram page that they have now shows the true enneagram, but then in the caption mislabels it with all that “personality” nonsense clarified above. Much of what is called “Fourth Way” teachings these days is unrelated to the true enneagram, and is somehow even worse than mere wiseacring. Avoid.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/142857_%28number%29   }The 142857 number sequence is used in the enneagram figure, a symbol of the Gurdjieff Work used to explain and visualize the dynamics of the interaction between the two great laws of the Universe (according to G. I. Gurdjieff), the Law of Three and the Law of Seven. The movement of the numbers of 142857 divided by 1/7, 2/7. etc., and the subsequent movement of the enneagram, are portrayed in Gurdjieff's sacred dances known as the movements. Recommended.

Notes: (1) The only obvious error was the claim that Naranjo correlated personality types (in the 70s) with the DSM-IV, which is of recent publication and didn’t exit then.

A team working with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey has announced that a so-called distant quasar has mysteriously dimmed in a shockingly short period of time, not over millions of years as required by theory but only 12 years after its discovery. The best explanation the team can offer is that “the quasar has used up all the glowing-hot gas in its immediate vicinity, leading to a rapid drop in brightness.” Dr Halton Arp provided a different explanation for Quasars in his seminal book on the subject. In this Space News, Dr. Donald Scott elaborates on Arp’s groundbreaking thesis.

Today, physicist Wal Thornhill begins a series of reports on some remarkably significant recent discoveries in the space sciences. Scientists using the Herschel space observatory have observed in unprecedented detail filamentary structures throughout the Milky Way galaxy. A recent phys.org report states, “...ESA's Herschel space observatory has been a true game changer....One of the key aspects that emerged from these observations is the presence of a filamentary network nearly everywhere in our Galaxy's interstellar medium. The picture that is emerging is that these structures are closely linked to the formation of stars.”  Wallace Thornhill explains the enormous significance of this discovery for the electric universe theory.

Since that time he has been investigating whether similar phenomena occur at the poles of other planets. Such counter-rotating bands, wherever they occur, are strong evidence that electrical energy is pouring down into the tops of those bodies via Birkeland currents. What he has discovered (or failed to discover) will be presented in specific visual detail during his first talk. 39:17.

Donald Scott - The formation of stars and galaxies has long been assumed by electrical theorists to result from pinch effects in cosmic electric (Birkeland) currents. The exact details of these pinches and the mechanisms involved have remained obscure even though various laboratory experiments have been done in the past. These details are now clarified by relating the mechanisms of Marklund convection and the double plasma focus experiments of W. Bostick. The observed ubiquitous \'hour-glass\' shapes of planetary nebulae are shown to be fundamental to this process. The major difference between the formation of stars and of galaxies is simply a matter of scale - the processes are essentially identical.

Ball-lightning-like features were produced in an electric discharge experiment, requested of Billy Yelverton, for the purpose of including CO2 as an atmosphere at a vacuum upon a carbon test bed. The objective was to increase the dielectric conditions for comparison of results to Mars' activity and features... The rarefied conditions demanded greater voltage delivery and the production of bright spots prior to a visible arc suggests that the bright spots occur where an electric wind interactswith material and atmosphere.

FAQs

.
1.  Q: I read your Schizophrenia List with some interest. Why do most of the books and some of the websites, try to hide the violence and anger of Schizophrenia?
A: Unknown. Most likely, they are considering institutionalized cases only and not looking at any ‘real world’ or ‘street’ cases.
2. Q: What book does Mr. Kamel recommend for studying Schizophrenia?
A: He recommends, Essays in Schizophrenia, by Bernard H. Shulman, M.D.
Of especial interest is Chapter 6, “Hostility, Dependency, Regression, Etc.:  Miscellaneous Notes of Various Issues in Schizophrenia”.
3. Q: What’s so special about that book?
A: It tells the truth.
4. Q: Gosh, what does IMDB stand for?
A: That would be, Internet Movie Data Base.
5. Q: What does aberrant mean?
A: For our purposes, it means incorrect.
6. Q: What is the connection between Oscar Ichazo and Claudio Naranjo?
A: Claudio Naranjo had belonged to Gurdjieff groups. On a visit home to Chile in the late 1960s he met  Ichazo. Though not impressed with him at first, he found him a  powerful person once he had meditated   in his presence. He helped Ichazo develop the enneagram and disseminate it in America. Naranjo contributed to the personality descriptions and correlated the Freudian defense mechanisms to  each of the nine types. Then, in 1970, he brought a group of 50 Esalen students, including John Lilly  and Joseph Hart, to Arica, Chile for Ichazo's training in the enneagram. When they returned to California  Naranjo taught the enneagram to  Esalen students -- including Helen Palmer, Kathleen Riordan  Speeth, and Fr.  Robert Ochs, S.J.  Though Naranjo claims that these people had promised not to teach others the enneagram, the above-named people have written and lectured  about it since the early 1970s.  In particular, Palmer has written one of the basic  texts, and Ochs introduced it to the  Catholic  community.
7. Q: Who is Oscar Ichazo?
A: See above URLs for more information.
8. Q: Why are so many of the Enneagram websites complete nonsense?
A: Because of Sturgeon’s Law: 80% of Everything, is bullshit.
9. Q: Is the brain the “seat” of consciousness, and is awareness dependant upon the  body?
A: No.
10. Q: So, who is Anthony Peratt?
A: Well, Anthony L. Peratt, Ph.D., is a  Life Fellow, of IEEE; Acting Director, National Security,  Nuclear Nonproliferation Directorate, USDOE, 1998; Member, Los Alamos National Laboratory Associate Directorate for Experiments and Simulations, 1999–2003 and for many years, worked at Los  Alamos National  Laboratory . Est. 1943. Operated by Los Alamos National Security, LLC for the U.S.  Department of Energy National Nuclear Security Agency,  Washington, D.C.
11. Q: Was the Enneagram, as used in ancient times, or as used by the historical Sufis, used for teaching about 9 personality types?
A: No. That’s a common misnomer, something very untrue. The use of enneagrams for personality descriptions is strictly a 20th-century, western invention. In ancient  and historical times, the teachings connected with the enneagram were much   more serious.
12. Q: Is it true that Mitchell Pacwa, a Jesuit, called Gurdjieff a liar?
A: Yes, but the claim is untrue. Mr. Gurdjieff was an accomplished and masterful liar, one of the best that ever  lived, and it was a great blessing to us all that he was.
13. Q: Didn’t Fr. Pacwa know that the enneagram, or something like it, was known, for example, in the time of Plotinus (205-279 A.D.) ?
A: Evidently not.
14. Q: Did you check all the links on this page? My Microsoft Word 2010, on my  Windows 7 Enterprise system, says that it cannot open the webpage, when I ctrl-click on it, as usual.
A: We have, of course, checked each and every link, and rec-checked it, too. No the  failure is with the  usually incompetent Microsoft products, in this case their amateurish Word 2010. The changes  they have made in Word from about, say,  2003 on, have made it worse and worse each time. Of course,  the difficulty of  using their awkward operating systems is well known, world-wide. May we  recommend, say, Linux, Ubuntu, or Mac OS X Mountain Lion? Or Open Office  instead of Word?  2017 Update: If today any of our webpage links don't work, it is probably caused by the Wordpress Malware Virus. See jonedae.wordpress.com for more info.
15. Q: You two seem to be rather in favor of the Plasma Sciences. Do you have any links  to websites or papers  by opponents of them?
A: Actually, yes, there are a few. Here is, for example, and excerpt from the website  of James Randi, the  famous de-bunker and skeptic:
1986 Anthony Peratt published a pair of papers in the IEEE Transactions on  Plasma Science about a  model for galaxy formation and evolution that only   included plasma and plasma interactions. This was inspired by experiments with   plasmoids where the plasmoids showed galaxy like structures (on a  tiny scale).  Peratt ran some computer simulations based on these experiments and concluded  that the simulations matched observations of galaxies. His model was that the galaxies start as a bundle of   galactic sized plasma filaments each with an electric current running through them. These galactic  plasma filaments are estimated to  have a width of 35 kiloparsecs (100,000 light years) and a length of,  from 35 megaparasec to 3.5 gigaparasec (an average length of 350 megaparasec or 1 billion light years).   For simplicity he used pairs of filaments. The interaction between the filaments caused them to twist  around each other and distort. The initial distribution of plasma looked like radio images of double lobed radio galaxies. This evolved into distributions that looked like optical images of the various types  of spiral galaxies. Later he concluded that his model also explained the rotation of  galaxies without dark matter.  The computer simulation was done using a couple of plasma simulation  packages - SPLASH and TRISTRAN. (Description courtesy of Mr. James Randi.) The relevant paper are: On the evolution of interacting, magnetized, galactic plasmas (1983); for the SPLASH simulation  details. 2012 DL;  now find here

16.  Q: David Talbott used ancient literature to show that ancient humans recorded the events in their   heavens, and memories of them, which events are well explained  by the EU descriptions, but not  by many  current astronomical models. -Do you know of any ancient literature, not on the list  above,  which  records catastrophic and other powerful  events such as we don’t see today on earth?
A:  Job 38:22–33 -
22 “Have you entered the treasury of snow,
Or have you seen the treasury of hail,
23 Which I have reserved for the time of trouble,
For the day of battle and war?
24 By what way is light diffused,
Or the east wind scattered over the earth?
25 “Who has divided a channel for the overflowing water,
Or a path for the thunderbolt,
26 To cause it to rain on a land where there is no one,
A wilderness in which there is no man;
27 To satisfy the desolate waste,
And cause to spring forth the growth of tender grass?
28 Has the rain a father?
Or who has begotten the drops of dew?
29 From whose womb comes the ice?
And the frost of heaven, who gives it birth?
30 The waters harden like stone,
And the surface of the deep is frozen. 6
31 “Can you bind the cluster of the Pleiades, 7
Or loose the belt of Orion?
32 Can you bring out Mazzaroth in its season?
Or can you guide the Great Bear with its cubs?
33 Do you know the ordinances of the heavens?
Can you set their dominion over the earth?
