Victorious Pleiadian Communion

The passage of the Lunar Eclipse of March 14th, the Spring Equinox of March 21st and the Solar Eclipse of March 29th holds enormous meaning and power for the progress of Planetary Regenesis. It marks the major entry into the Photon Belt in Earth's regular orbit of Pleiades and hence both higher potential energy and greater communion with Pleiades. Inasmuch, from the Yin Energy of the Lunar Eclipse, to the Equilibrium and Integration of Yin and Yang Energy of the Spring Equinox and the Yang Energy of the Solar Eclipse, it heralds the major period of turning from dark to light and all that could be associated with the foresaid archetypes. The Milky Way Galaxy, that Pleiades itself orbits, appears in the form of a Great Heavenly Yin-Yang, or Da Tian Taiji; and the major contention of feminine energies regarding Planet Earth's future regards the two seven stars systems, Ursa Major and Pleiades, as negative yin and positive yang respectively. Thus, the passage of the Lunar Eclipse, Spring Equinox and Solar Eclipse within a two week (Two 7 day periods relating to the two 7 star systems) period reflects the the defeat of the limitation control of Ursa Major and the victory of the regenesis blessings of Pleiades. The following two articles from alternate sources shares much of what the Beings of Pleiades wish to commune in this period. A Note from the Pleiadians Received by Lauren, March 13th 2006 Lauren: "Does someone wish to address me?" Pleiadians: "Yes, we are here" Lauren: "Who is speaking please?" Pleiadians: "We are the Pleiadians" Lauren: "Hello, do you have a message for me?" Pleiadians: "We have come to tell you of some news. We are in observance of some details regarding your nation and can assist you in understanding what it taking place at this time. Do you wish to receive?" Lauren: "Please." Pleiadians: "Very well. We are observing some situations in Washington that are pressing your nation to mover forward in this march for freedom. This march, coupled with the intent of millions of citizens will have unprecedented resolve. It will take armies of unmatched proportion to stop the force of light that will ensue. We are preparing many at this time to step into full awareness and be alert for their roles as warriors and change-makers. Some have chosen to leave the earth after their mission is complete, know and share with others that this is a planned event, one that their souls chose before incarnation and all is in Divine Perfect Order. We will be there to support them and direct them as needed and they will be greeted by legions of angels and family members of the afterlife upon their transitions. Be assured that they will experience no discomfort during this transition for their selfless acts of humanity. We are in great admiration of the teams available for the type of work necessary to make these changes and we will support you in times of strife. Know that this time upon you will create the largest momentum of good ever to rise up like a tidal wave and crash over the old ways of the dark. No one has the power to make this change like the citizens of your country. The noble few who sacrifice their earthly lives in the making of the new world will be rewarded greatly for they will have the opportunity to resolve many lifetimes of karma for this one particular and selfless feat. Regardless of your role in this, you are all needed. Each and every one of you represents a portion of creator, an aspect to realize His potential. Without you, there would be no Golden Age for it would cease to manifest under the workings of your present systems. This is why you are all here at this very important juncture, both for your soul and for the evolution of humanity. It is your time to choose and your time to fulfill your calling. Many of you have incarnated here from various star systems and galaxies to aid in this magnificent event. We are aware of those who have suffered greatly to be submersed in these lower frequencies and we have come now to lift you up out of the denseness. There are members of many galaxies at this time waiting to rescue the brothers and sisters of their origin. We, the Pleiadians have many on earth at this time that we care for and protect. Those of you who know of your origins, be assured that we are coming now to free you. For those of you who are not yet aware of your origins you will be contacted shortly, be at peace. All who inquire shall be admonished for we need all of you. There is coming a time where you will be aware of much more than you currently are. This awareness may lead to emotional uprising in the people and it is our wish that you all be the pillars of light that you came here to be. We try to prepare you for this not to alarm you but to confirm that you have very special roles to play and part of the responsibility of awareness is teaching others and leading them to the light of God. We can assist you with this if you ask, we will do all we can to calm the fears of an uprising nation, for many will be in a state of disarray. You all have the important roles of replacing fear with love, for this is the way you knew before your descent. Now is the time to practice this honorable trait that you hold in your hearts. Lift your brothers and sisters to their true potential, hold the babes in your bosoms, and run free with the light of truth for others to see. This is the gift that has been bestowed upon you, the gift of compassion for the hard work of striving for this truth in your hearts. Compassion will enfold the dark and allow even for them, an opportunity to repent. Now we say show your true colors, allow others to see the light in your hearts for they will be searching for that light in the dark. Be courageous and allow no ruler to impoverish any part of your nation again. Be dignified, stand proud and allow no just cause for lies and deceit. Be sovereign and reign yourselves as true co-creators with God, for ultimately you are the future of your nation and world. We come to raise you up but you must first lift yourselves out of darkness and despair with firm resolve to overthrow your government. This is the opportunity you have all been waiting for, to claim back your sovereign rights as citizens of God. Let no lie remain unturned, let no man or woman escape the penalty of corruption. These end times are upon you now and are coming in with great thrust. Be alert and stand firmly planted for the tide will bring in much change but will assuredly pull out to sea all that no longer serves you, for now you are FREE. We too wish to remind you of the abilities you all possess, the ones that you took with you into this life stream. These abilities will avail themselves as needed to give you access to tools that you will need in coming times. Your severely limited scope right now does not serve you well in these coming days, so be assured you will have all you need to prevail during these next few turbulent months. You will be amazed at what lies before you and we are in your skies planning the most glorious and peaceful world you have ever known. Congratulations on your determination to see this through, you are true warriors. We must now take our leave but we will be with you shortly. Be at peace and know that you are supported by many in these next moments of your making. We are the Pleiadians." Solar Eclipse March 29th Marker for Change By James Gilliland In meditation I was told by one of many Pleiadian Contacts that March 28th was a day of major change. I do not know why the day was given directly before the solar eclipse yet they have been right on concerning major energy shifts. I was told there would be a major influx of energy. This energy will amplify and quicken everything. It is a signal that marks the end of tyranny. Those who hold this energy are on their way out. There are two spirals we can choose. One is the downward spiral of evolution where we continue to compete, dominate, control, and deceive in actions that are not in the highest and best good of humanity and the Earth. The other spiral is the upward spiral of evolution where we can choose to cooperate, empower, with freedom and prosperity for all acting always in the highest and best good of humanity and the Earth. This influx of energy is amplifying both spirals creating an ever increasing polarity between the two. It is also bringing up to light all that is hidden. Things will be seen how they are and not how others would like you to see them. Tyranny, deception, the lust for power and wealth behind the actions that are not in the highest and best good for humanity and the Earth are going to be seen for what they are and those responsible will be made known. There will be an uncovering, exposure on every level which will increase exponentially. We are going to see just how politically incorrect we have been. On the flip side those who are aligned with the upward spiral will also experience a quantum leap in evolution. The choice is simple, evolution of devolution. Evolution towards a more spiritual healthy and wholesome prosperous way of life in harmony with each other and nature or the opposite. The devolution into war, disease, environmental and economic collapse is where the present leadership is taking you. The war and disease profiteers are engaged in hideous acts to line their pockets. These acts in some cases are so hideous; the scale of the pain, suffering and death they have caused is so unbelievable most people would go into shock if they knew the truth. The knowledge of the origins of most diseases and the real reasons behind the many wars we have fought for what we thought were God and country would be too much to handle. Those who watch from above where nothing is hidden have reached the point where it can no longer be ignored. There is a limit to allowing. The forces behind these hideous acts are going to be exposed and in some cases removed. Many have already been removed or stopped from coming to the Earth. There have been many influxes of energy in the past that have been a part of the awakening and healing of humanity and the Earth and this is another major pivotal point. Best advice I can give it to forgive self, others and surrender to the higher consciousness and energy. Allow it to flow through you. Any resistance will manifest as an undesirable event in your life be it disease, the uncovering of that which is hidden or the reaction to actions which were not in the highest and best good for humanity and the Earth. Now is the time to choose the upward spiral. It is time to cooperate and invest our time, talents and energies towards the awakening and healing of humanity and the Earth. "What does a man/woman profit if they loose their soul, "connection." As you would already expect, my request to all Members of the Tora Or Project and all the Reiki Community at large is that you Perform TOP Emissions for as long and often as you can until the Solar Eclipse on March 29th 2006, maintain your regular TOP Emissions every day according to the Instructions for Performing TOP Emissions and make extra effort to Perform TOP Emissions for as long and often as you can on all the Major Astrological and Pleiadian Portal Days.

Solar Storm

Quite blessedly coincidental with the March 14th Penumeral Lunar Eclipse, March 20th/21st Spring Equinox and March 29th Total Lunar Eclipse comes the announcement of the coming "Solar Storm" of 2012 that coincides with Total Photon Belt Immersion and the End of the Mayan Tzolkin Calender of Pleiadian Orbit.

Solar Storm Warning Source Article

It's official: Solar minimum has arrived. Sunspots have all but vanished. Solar flares are nonexistent. The sun is utterly quiet. Like the quiet before a storm. This week researchers announced that a storm is coming--the most intense solar maximum in fifty years. The prediction comes from a team led by Mausumi Dikpati of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). "The next sunspot cycle will be 30% to 50% stronger than the previous one," she says. If correct, the years ahead could produce a burst of solar activity second only to the historic Solar Max of 1958. That was a solar maximum. The Space Age was just beginning: Sputnik was launched in Oct. 1957 and Explorer 1 (the first US satellite) in Jan. 1958. In 1958 you couldn't tell that a solar storm was underway by looking at the bars on your cell phone; cell phones didn't exist. Even so, people knew something big was happening when Northern Lights were sighted three times in Mexico. A similar maximum now would be noticed by its effect on cell phones, GPS, weather satellites and many other modern technologies. Dikpati's prediction is unprecedented. In nearly-two centuries since the 11-year sunspot cycle was discovered, scientists have struggled to predict the size of future maxima—and failed. Solar maxima can be intense, as in 1958, or barely detectable, as in 1805, obeying no obvious pattern. The key to the mystery, Dikpati realized years ago, is a conveyor belt on the sun. We have something similar here on Earth—the Great Ocean Conveyor Belt, popularized in the sci-fi movie The Day After Tomorrow. It is a network of currents that carry water and heat from ocean to ocean--see the diagram below. In the movie, the Conveyor Belt stopped and threw the world's weather into chaos. The sun's conveyor belt is a current, not of water, but of electrically-conducting gas. It flows in a loop from the sun's equator to the poles and back again. Just as the Great Ocean Conveyor Belt controls weather on Earth, this solar conveyor belt controls weather on the sun. Specifically, it controls the sunspot cycle. Solar physicist David Hathaway of the National Space Science & Technology Center (NSSTC) explains: "First, remember what sunspots are--tangled knots of magnetism generated by the sun's inner dynamo. A typical sunspot exists for just a few weeks. Then it decays, leaving behind a 'corpse' of weak magnetic fields." Enter the conveyor belt. "The top of the conveyor belt skims the surface of the sun, sweeping up the magnetic fields of old, dead sunspots. The 'corpses' are dragged down at the poles to a depth of 200,000 km where the sun's magnetic dynamo can amplify them. Once the corpses (magnetic knots) are reincarnated (amplified), they become buoyant and float back to the surface." Presto—new sunspots! All this happens with massive slowness. "It takes about 40 years for the belt to complete one loop," says Hathaway. The speed varies "anywhere from a 50-year pace (slow) to a 30-year pace (fast)." When the belt is turning "fast," it means that lots of magnetic fields are being swept up, and that a future sunspot cycle is going to be intense. This is a basis for forecasting: "The belt was turning fast in 1986-1996," says Hathaway. "Old magnetic fields swept up then should re-appear as big sunspots in 2010-2011." Like most experts in the field, Hathaway has confidence in the conveyor belt model and agrees with Dikpati that the next solar maximum should be a doozy. But he disagrees with one point. Dikpati's forecast puts Solar Max at 2012. Hathaway believes it will arrive sooner, in 2010 or 2011. "History shows that big sunspot cycles 'ramp up' faster than small ones," he says. "I expect to see the first sunspots of the next cycle appear in late 2006 or 2007—and Solar Max to be underway by 2010 or 2011." Who's right? Time will tell. Either way, a storm is coming.

Spring Equinox and Total Solar Eclipse

For the Twelth Year running, a global healing and ascension meditiation has been arranged among the majority of light-worker communities to generate a 24-hour "Solar Wave" calling forth conscious global communion with the Pleiades in Union with the Sun and Planet Earth. Ten of thousands of people, and perhaps far more with your aid in distributing the news, have already co-ordinated to gather together for the Pleiadian New Year's Day at sunrise immediately after the Spring Vernal Equinox for 24 hours of global prayer networking at Sacred Sites such as Palenque, Tikal, Chitzen Icha, Machu Pichu, Giza, Stonehenge and more to disperse the powerful energy of conscious global communion as one global thought wave around the whole planet to aid in the migration of Earth and the Solar System around Pleiades, through the Photon Belt and mid-belt orbital exchange to Sirius. The 2006 Spring Vernal Equinox will occur at exactly 18:26 GMT/UTC on March 20th, 2006. Spring Vernal Equinox Times Around the World Global prayers for the Pleiadian New Year's Day are scheduled to begin one hour before sunrise and through till one hour after sunrise, the immediate day after the Spring Vernal Equinox. Sunrise Times Around the World This meditation at dawn will carry a solar "wave" of conscious global communion with Pleiades around the planet with the motion of the Earth's orbit around the sun as the sun rises across the horizon of every longitude along the equator around the world on the morning after the Spring Vernal Equinox. The Annual Solar Wave Meditation, originally orchestrated by Tzolkin Timekeeper, Aluna Joy Yaxkin, and Mayan Elder, Hunbatz Men, is a most opportune moment for all Members of the Tora Or Project to perform TOP Emissions and highly advantageous to the global prayer collective's healing purpose as our TOP Disk includes images of Earth, Sirius, Pleiades and Archturus and directs energy directly to the holographic integration of the foresaid together with directing energy to the entire Planetary Light Matrix through a relay network of Pyramids, Temples, Mountains, Lakes and Regions of Human Population. Furthermore, the following New Moon of March 29th will be coupled with a Total Solar Eclipse; relaying the Pleiadian Star Energy through the resonance pathway of the unified Sun and Moon, anchoring the Pleiadian Energy called forth during the Spring Vernal Equinox and Solar Wave. The path of totality will begin in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Brazil and move east through central Africa, Turkey, and central Asia where it will end in central Russia. A partial eclipse will be visible throughout most of Africa, Europe, and Western Asia. Maps of the Total Solar Eclipse Aside from your regular daily TOP Emissions and Pleiadian Portal Day TOP Emissions; please do your utmost to Perform TOP Emissions: a) the two hours (or more) surrounding the exact time of the Spring Vernal Equinox at your locality - circa March 20th/21st 2006 b) the two hours (or more) surrounding the exact time of the Sunrise of the day after the Spring Vernal Equinox at your locality - circa March 21st/22nd 2006 c) the two hours (or more) surrounding the exact time of the Total Solar Eclipse at your locality - circa March 29th 2006 OR d) the eight days from the Spring Vernal Equinox to the Total Solar Eclipse Ideally, attend TOP Reiki Shares or gather at your chosen Sacred Site or "Power Spot" (Earth Matrix Vortex) to perform TOP Emissions at those times. I will be performing TOP Emissions in gathering with the Daoist Priests of Tai He Gong at the Heavenly Pillar Peak of the Wudang Mountain Range on the Spring Vernal Equinox of March 21st and on the Total Solar Eclipse of March 29th. Fuurthermore, from March 23rd to March 30th I will learn Bagua Zhang, a 64 part Daoist Ritual Gongfu that creates a Pillar of Light from Heaven to Earth according to the Codes of the Yi-Jing (I-Ching, Aleph Etz Tau B'nai Yisrael) at Zi XIao Gong with 15th Generation Wudang Disciple, Zhong Shi Hao (Zhong Xue Chao) at Zi Xiao Gong and walk a triangular circuit from Zi Xiao Gong to Taihe Gong to Ba Xian Guan every day, anchoring the Triple Eight Energy of the Christ and Completing the Aleph Etz Tau B'nai Yisrael.

Red Dwarf Planet Earth

I want to lie, Shipwrecked and comotose, Drinking fresh, Mango juice, Goldfish shoals, Nibbling at my toes, Fun, fun, fun, In the sun, sun, sun, Fun, fun, fun, In the sun, sun, sun. Red Dwarf Theme Song Lyrics Newfound Ice World Alters Perceptions of Planetary Systems Source Article

Astronomers announced today the discovery of a frigid extrasolar planet several times larger than Earth orbiting a small red dwarf star roughly 9,000 light years away. The finding alters astronomers' perceptions of planetary system formation and the distribution of planets in the galaxy, suggesting that large rock-ice worlds might outnumber gas giants like Jupiter. The newfound planet is about 13 times more massive than Earth and likely has an icy and rocky but barren terrestrial surface, and it is one of the coldest planets ever discovered outside of our solar system. It orbits 250 million miles away from a red dwarf star, which is about half the size of our Sun and much cooler. The orbital distance is about the same as our solar system's asteroid belt is from the Sun. The planet is similar in rocky structure to Earth and it is described a "super-Earth." But being so far away from a red dwarf means that its surface temperature is an inhospitable -330 degrees Fahrenheit (-201 Celsius), about the same as Uranus. That's too cold for liquid water or life as we know it. Further analysis of the system revealed the absence of Jupiter-like gas giants, and scientists suspect the system literally ran out of gas and failed to form any. This may have starved the newfound planet of the raw materials it needed to turn into a gas giant itself. "This icy super-Earth dominates the region around its star that in our solar system is populated by the gas-giant planets, Jupiter and Saturn. We've never seen a system like this before, because we've never had the means to find them," said study author Andrew Gould of The Ohio State University and leader of the MicroFUN planet-searching team. Planet formation theory predicts that small, cold planets should form easier than larger ones around big stars. A previous study suggests that about two-thirds of all star systems in the galaxy are red dwarf stars, so solar systems filled with super-Earths might be three times more common than those with giant Jupiters. "These icy super-earths are pretty common," Gould said. "Roughly 35 percent of all stars have them." While this is one of the coldest exoplanets ever discovered, it is not the smallest. Earlier this year astronomers announced the discovery of an exoplanet just 5.5 times Earth's mass. The previous record holder weighed in at 7.5 Earth masses. "Our discovery suggests that different types of solar systems form around different types of stars," said Scott Gaudi of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. "Sun-like stars form Jupiters, while red dwarf stars form super-Earths. Larger A-type stars may even form brown dwarfs in their disks." Brown dwarfs are dim, failed stars that straddle the mass range between gas planets and real stars. Astronomers discovered this latest planet, catalogued as OGLE-2005-BLG-169lb, with a technique called microlensing, an effect where the gravity of a foreground star makes a more distant star appear brighter. If the foreground star is orbited by a planet, the planet's gravity can periodically warp the brightness of the background star by tiny amounts. This shift is a telltale indicator of a planet, but is so brief that scientists must monitor the star closely and make multiple observations to confirm the planet's existence. In this case, the scientists were concerned that the warp wasn't caused by a planet, so they wrote a special computer program to speed up their models and confirm the existence of the Neptune-sized object. The planet's existence was determined by researchers from the MicroFUN, OGLE (Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment) projects and the MDM Observatory in Arizona. The group has submitted their findings for publication in the journal Astrophysical Journal Letters.

The Cradle of Life

Asteroids are known to carry organic matter, bacteria, minerals and natural gases critical to the birth and progression of early organic life on emerging planetary geodes. During the past decade it has been established through archaeological and genetic research that the earliest known humans inhabited the region of Egypt and Ethiopia. Perhaps the discovery of the Kebira Crater will aid humanity in learning more of it's origins. Peace Ross

Huge crater carved by space rock found in Egypt Source Article

Scientists have discovered a huge crater in the Sahara desert, the largest one ever found there. The Kebira Crater, located in the Western Desert of Egypt at the border with Libya. Courtesy of Boston University Center for Remote Sensing The crater is about 19 miles (31 kilometers) wide, more than twice as big as the next largest Saharan crater known. It utterly dwarfs Meteor Crater in Arizona, which is about three-fourths of a mile (1.2 kilometers) in diameter. In fact, the newfound crater, in Egypt, was likely carved by a space rock that was itself roughly 0.75 miles wide in an event that would have been quite a shock, destroying everything for hundreds of miles. For comparison, the Chicxulub crater left by a dinosaur-killing asteroid 65 million years ago is estimated to be 100 to 150 miles (160 to 240 kilometers) wide. The crater was discovered in satellite images by Boston University researchers Farouk El-Baz and Eman Ghoneim. El-Baz named the crater "Kebira," which means "large" in Arabic and also relates to its location on the northern tip of the Gilf Kebir region in southwestern Egypt. "Kebira may have escaped recognition because it is so large—bigger than the area of 125 football fields, or the total expanse of the Cairo urban region from its airport in the northeast to the Pyramids of Giza in the southwest," El-Baz said Friday. "Also, the search for craters typically concentrates on small features, especially those that can be identified on the ground. The advantage of a view from space is that it allows us to see regional patterns and the big picture." The crater has two rings, a common configuration. Over time, it has been eroded by wind and water to make it unrecognizable to the untrained eye. "The courses of two ancient rivers run through it from the east and west," Ghoneim said. The timing of the impact has not been determined. The impact that carved Kebira might have created an extensive field of yellow-green silica fragments, known as desert glass and found on the surface between the giant dunes of the Great Sand Sea in southwestern Egypt, the researchers said.

Elementary Altruism

In today's rapidly self-annihilating society, emphasis is placed on material gain and hierarchial status. So called "civilisation" is measured by territorial expanse, material growth, stability of dominance, complexity of science and technology and the exploitive promotion of selfism. Yet nature, more territorially expnansive, materially grown, dominantly stable and complex in wisdom and applied knowledge than any civilsation neither exploits nor promotes selfism. Rather, the inherent nature of nature that is causitive of it's all-encompassing power is Symbiotic Altruism. Though some in the worldwide Reiki Community are yet to recognize or respect the Great Work of Planetary Regenesis achieved by the Members of the Tora Or Project and the trillions of beings affected by our TOP Emissions that are near completely unaware of our selfless efforts, through our TOP Emissions we bring Ultimate Benefit to All Beings through All Time, All Space, All Universes, All Planes of Existence and Non-Existence, Union with the Eternal Mother-Father God And thus, again, I implore you all to do your utmost in the regular performance of TOP Emissions according to the Instructions for Performing TOP Emissions.

Chimps Can Be Team Players, Selfless Helpers, Studies Show Source Article

Providing help, without any benefit to yourself, is called altruism, and some scientists have proposed that it is a uniquely human behavior. But in today's issue of the journal Science, two studies suggest that our closest relatives may also lend a hand in humanlike ways. In the first study, researchers looked at altruistic behavior in both 18-month-old human infants and young chimpanzees. Various scenes were acted out for the young in which an unknown adult had trouble achieving a goal, like reaching for an object or stacking books. Ten different situations were presented to 24 infants and three human-reared chimpanzees. As a control, the same tasks were also done with no indication from the adults that they were having problems. The results showed that almost all of the children—22 out of 24—helped at least once and did so almost immediately. The chimps demonstrated similar, though less robust motivation. They helped in all five tasks involving reaching but not in more complex situations, like those involving physical obstacles. The researchers believe both children and chimps are willing to help but that they differ in their abilities to interpret when help is needed. "It's been claimed chimpanzees act mainly for their own ends, but in our experiment there was no reward, and they still helped," said Felix Warneken, study co-author. Both studies were conducted by researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany. Evolutionary Altruism? Signs of altruism in chimps may mean that the animals already had some rudimentary helping skills before humans split from them about six million years ago, the researchers note. "Perhaps there was a tiny bit of altruism in our evolutionary ancestor and it's grown so much stronger in modern humans," Warneken said. But in the wild, unrelated chimps rarely help one another, says Anne Pusey, director of the Jane Goodall Institute's Center for Primate Studies at the University of Minnesota. As an example she points to a study that showed chimpanzee mothers did not help their infants learn how to fish for termites. "You would think that mothers watching their kids failing to get termites out of a mound might help them, but in fact they did not," she said. Chimps raised by humans are considered by some to be behaviorally different from those in the wild, Pusey said, which might explain why the study's chimps offered help. Chimps Collaborate, Too In the second study, researchers found that chimpanzees recognized when collaboration was necessary and chose effective partners. "We've never seen this level of understanding during cooperation in any other animal except humans," study co-author Alicia Melis said. In the experiment, which took place at a chimpanzee sanctuary in Africa, two chimps had to pull a rope at the same time in order to drag a tray of food toward them. Melis found that the chimpanzees only let a partner into the room, by opening a door, when the rope ends were too far apart to pull on their own. "Not only did they know when they needed help, they had to go out and get it," she said. Just like people, some chimps were better cooperators than others. For example, a dominant chimpanzee, named Mawa, was impatient and missed opportunities to get the food. But another, named Bwambale, was a team player and almost always successful. At first the chimps chose Mawa and Bwambale equally for help. But once they learned what a hopeless cooperator Mawa was, most chimps chose Bwambale on the next trial. "Clearly chimps can remember who's a good and who's a bad collaborator," Melis said. "Bad collaborators suffer by not being chosen next time." She points out that there is no evidence that chimpanzees communicate with each other about a common goal like children do, or that they can learn how good a partner is by watching him or her interact with others. "It just suggests that when chimpanzees cooperate they understand a bit more than we thought," she said. "Hopefully, future studies can show us what it is that makes human cooperation so unique."

Albert's Prize

Does Evil Exist ???? Did God create everything that exists? Does evil exist? Did God create evil? A University professor at a well known institution of higher learning, no doubt a Freemason subordinate of the Bavarian Illuminati, challenged his students with this question. "Did God create everything that exists?" A student bravely replied, "Yes he did!" "God created everything?" The professor asked. "Yes sir, he certainly did," the student replied. The professor answered, "If God created everything; then God created evil. And, since evil exists, and according to the principle that our works Define who we are, then we can assume God is evil." The student became quiet and did not respond to the professor's Hypothetical definition.. The professor, quite pleased with himself, boasted to the students that he had proven once more that the Christian faith was a myth. Another student raised his hand and said, "May I ask you a question, professor?" "Of course", replied the professor. The student stood up and asked, "Professor, does cold exist?" "What kind of question is this? Of course it exists. Have you never been cold?" The other students snickered at the young man's question. The young man replied, "In fact sir, cold does not exist. According to the laws of physics, what we consider cold is in reality the absence of heat. Everybody or object is susceptible to study when it has or transmits energy, and heat is what makes a body or matter have or transmit energy. Absolute zero (-460 F) is the total absence of heat; and all matter becomes inert and incapable of reaction at that temperature. Cold does not exist. We have created this word to describe how we feel if we have no heat." The student continued, "Professor, does darkness exist?" The professor responded, "Of course it does." The student replied, "Once again you are wrong sir, darkness does not exist either. Darkness is in reality the absence of light. Light we can study, but not darkness. In fact, we can use Newton's prism to break white light into many colors and study the various wavelengths of each color. You cannot measure darkness. A simple ray of light can break into a world of darkness and illuminate it. How can you know how dark a certain space is? You measure the amount of light present. Isn't this correct? Darkness is a term used by man to describe what happens when there is no light present." Finally the young man asked the professor, "Sir, does evil exist?" Now uncertain, the professor responded, "Of course, as I have already said. We see it everyday. It is in the daily examples of man's inhumanity to man. It is in the multitude of crime and violence everywhere in the world. These manifestations are nothing else but evil." To this the student replied, "Evil does not exist, sir, or at least it Does not exist unto itself. Evil is simply the absence of God. It is just like darkness and cold, a word that man has created to describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. Evil is the result of what happens when Man does not have God's love present in his heart. It's like the cold that comes when there is no heat, or the darkness that comes when there is no light." The professor sat down. The young man's name - Albert Einstein A true story.

Rising Melting

Antarctic ice sheet is shrinking Source Article

The Antarctic ice sheet, which contains 90 per cent of Earth's ice, has lost significant mass in recent years, according to a new study. Using data collected from a pair of satellites orbiting Earth in tandem, researchers at the University of Colorado at Boulder have concluded that the ice sheet is annually losing up to 36 cubic miles of ice, or 152 cubic km. The city of Los Angeles uses about 1 cubic mile of fresh water a year. Antarctica - the fifth largest continent and twice the size of Australia -- contains 70 per cent of Earth's fresh water resources. The ice sheet, which covers 98 per cent of the continent, has an average thickness of about 6,500 feet. According to the study, which appears in the latest online issue of Science Express, the bulk of the loss is occurring in the West Antarctic icesheet. The melting of the West Antarctic ice sheet alone - which is about eight times smaller in volume than the East Antarctic ice sheet - would raise global sea levels by more than 20 feet (6 metres), according to researchers from the British Antarctic Survey. The study disputes the most recent Inter- governmental Panel on Climate Change assessment, completed in 2001, which predicted the Antarctic ice sheet would gain mass in the 21st century because of increased precipitation in a warming climate.
