NOT TAUGHT AT HARVARD OR BERKELEY Who Was Haym Solomon? Read this fascinating history of the $1 bill – all the way to the bottom to know about Haym Solomon . You may be in for quite a surprise! On the rear of the One Dollar bill, you will see two circles. Together, they comprise the Great Seal of the United StatesThe First Continental Congress requested that Benjamin Franklin and a group of men come up with a Seal. It took them four years to accomplish this task and another two years to get it approved. If you look at the left-hand circle, you will see a Pyramid. Notice the face is lighted, and the western side is dark. This country was just beginning. We had not begun to explore the west or decided what we could do for Western Civilization. The Pyramid is uncapped, again signifying that we were not even close to being finished. Inside the Capstone you have the all-seeing eye, an ancient symbol for divinity. It was Franklin 's belief that one man couldn't do it alone, but

  The Blessed Buddha once said: Bhikkhus, just as this body, is sustained by feeding, exists in dependence on feeding and cannot survive without food, so are the 7 Links to Awakening also sustained by feeding, they can also only exist in dependence on feeding and they cannot remain without feeding... And what, bhikkhus, is the feeding of the emergence of any yet unarisen equanimity and also feeding of the completion by condensation of any arisen Equanimity? There are states that are basis & source for Equanimity! Frequently pointing careful and rational attention to them, is feeding the emergence of unarisen equanimity & also feeding of the gradual fulfillment of any arisen Equanimity Link to Awakening... And what, Bhikkhus, is the starving that obstructs all emergence of a yet unarisen equanimity, and which also hinders any already arisen Equanimity Link from reaching complete fulfillment by development? There are states that are the basis and source for the equanimity! Not

  As Americans, we welcome the news of the demise of Osama bin Laden. While this may be a sense of justice for some... there is no real justice for those that lost loved ones on September the Eleventh. There is no justice in the world that will bring their loved ones back. We praise the work and dedication of our brave men and women in uniform. We also praise their families. We remember those that have fallen in duty to their country, and those of our allied friends that have paid the ultimate sacrifice in the War on Terror. This action is the one of the key events that we have waited for. May those who have fallen in battle find peace in knowing that an integral part of their mission has finally been accomplished. If it does not bring closure or justice, I hope that it brings a little peace. Peace to know that one less fanatic is causing havoc of global destruction on the world. While indeed September the Eleventh will go down in history as one of the worst days in the hi

There is a very special  solar eclipse out there this night..enjoy! General Daily Horoscope Change is in the air forcing us to leave behind the status quo in order to adapt to the future. The Sun enters restless Gemini at 11:15 am EDT, kicking off a month of profound communication. But unexpected twists and turns can be disruptive with the Gemini New Moon Eclipse occurring at 7:47 pm EDT -- within an hour of the Moon's shift into chatty Gemini. Additionally, Gemini's key planet Mercury aligns with erratic Uranus, heightening the stress. Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 - Apr 19) You might actually think that you can talk your way out of any problem today with the Solar Eclipse falling in your 3rd House of Communication; however, you could easily overestimate your capabilities. If you try to do too much at once, you could waste precious energy and won't succeed. Instead of taking on so many activities, limit your choices and focus on the things that you do really well.

Why Sunday's Solar Eclipse 'Ring of Fire' Will Be Rare Sight By Joe Rao, Space, May 19, 2012 When the moon blots out the sun in a solar eclipse on Sunday (May 20), producing a "ring of fire" in the sky, it will cover roughly 94 percent that of the sun and offer a rare view of our nearest star.      The remaining sun ring visible at the peak of the solar eclipse will appear with a width of 3 percent of the sun's diameter. While that might not sound like a lot, it will still be enough to drown out the beautiful solar corona, as well as the sun's ruby red chromosphere and any prominences – such as plumes of hydrogen gas, leaping off of the limb of the sun.      Meanwhile, the sky (while getting somewhat dimmer) will never darken enough to see any bright stars or planets. All of these sights are reserved solely for a total eclipse.      Or are they?      In fact, if the Earth revolved around the sun in a perfect circle, at its mean distance of 92.9 million m

                  More modern ghosts linked to battles make appearances at Montrose's old aerodrome. This base was established just before the First World War to the north of the town on the links. Today, the airfield is home to a museum. At least three spirits appear here, one of them a phantom biplane that crashed in 1913. This apparition has been witnessed on a number of occasions over the years, notably by Sir Peter Masefield in 1963.      The same aeroplane almost caused the death of another pilot during the Second World War. The aerodrome was placed on red alert when reports came through that a German aircraft had been spotted. A fighter pilot was sent up to investigate, but despite flying all around the district, there was no sight of the enemy. At Montrose, the commander in charge of the air base decided it was too risky to illuminate the full runway, so turned on the lights on the edge of the runway only. The pilot was experienced, so the sparse lighting

As an important safety note, if you do candle gazing, don't fix your stare at the heart of the flame for more than a few minutes. You can damage your eyes. DO NOT wear contacts while attempting candle gazing. CANDLE GAZING METHOD Place the lighted candle as near to eye level as possible, approximately one arm's length in front of you. Make sure that you are not wearing contact lenses and that the room is as dark as possible. Make yourself as relaxed as possible by breathing slowly and deeply for a few moments. Make quite certain that the inhalations and exhalations are evenly spaced, and as you breathe in allow your tummy to rise, and when you breathe out let your tummy fall. Continue breathing in this way for approximately five minutes. Sometimes it helps to count six as you breathe in, retain the breath for a count of three, then exhale for the count of six, and so on. This is extremely effective in making the mind quiet and reducing levels of anxiety. Gaze at the tip o

  Throughout the year, the sun waxes and wanes. At the Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year, the sun is only visible for a few short hours. Days become longer and at the Spring or Vernal Equinox, day and night are equal. At the Summer Solstice, the sun is visible for the longest period of time (the longest day of the year). Days start to become shorter and at the Autumnal Equinox, day and night are equal again. Finally, as the sun wanes, we are at the Winter Solstice again. During a solar eclipse, we experience what might be called a "micro year". The sun is whole, then partially or completely hidden, and then visible again. Within just a few minutes, an energy similar to a complete cycle of solstices and equinoxes can be felt. In addition to this somewhat seasonal energy, we are aware of the Moon's presence. Her shadow falls across the Earth as she appears between the Earth and the Sun. This adds the unification of solar and lunar energy, reinforcing th

Mayan Indian elder Apolinario Chile Pixtun (AP) With the hype surrounding the upcoming movie release of 2012 and hundreds of books recently flooding the market about the December 12th or 21st, 2012 end-of-the-world as we know it predictions; it’s sobering to find articles by a NASA scientist and an interview with a Mayan elder in the news, clarifying each and every notion, hoax, prediction and tempering the hysteria around this particular date. In this month’s (October) issue of Skeptic magazine , NASA scientist David Morrison , in his article: 2012 and Counting: A NASA Scientist Answers the Top 20 Questions about 2012 , addresses each and every question submitted to the online NASA website about these doomsday predictions. In answer to the questions about where this modern day prediction started , he gives reference to Zecharia Stichin’s book, The Twelfth Planet , published in 1976 in which Stichin supposedly translated a Sumerian document that identified a 12th planet called Nibi

  Within the small third-world country of Haiti, poverty holds a powerful grip over the people. It is widely considered to be the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, and for its people, survival is a daily struggle. Yet Haitians draw strength from Voodoo, the African-born religion in which many different spirits help guide a person through the physical journey of life. Within the realm of Voodoo, there is nearly no distinction between the spiritual and the physical worlds (“Origins of Voodoo”). Spirits are authentic and are everyday experiences for Haitians (“Haiti Makes Voodoo Official”). To a Voodoo believer, nothing happens by chance; there are neither accidents nor coincidences. Everything happens for a purpose, a purpose determined by the thousands of spirits that surround and guide each worshipper. Anthropologists believe that Voodoo is somewhere between 6,000 and 10,000 years old, originating among the Fon-Ewe tribes of West Africa (“Origins of Voodoo”). It was carried o

I thought that you guys will find that interesting. You'll see that making decisions and understanding the world around us is much easier when you learn and understand some basic stuff about our consciousness . When I embraced it I noticed some big changes in my life...Now it's time for you. So let's begin These are the levels of our consciousness : the subconscious, the conscious and the superconscious. Each of these levels reflects differing degrees of awareness and different types of knowledge. 1) Subconscious The first of these levels, our subconscious, is where our belief system takes place. Our mindset and background build our belief system and our belief system is made of epxeriences and circustamces that belong to our past. The best way to understand how the subconscious mind works, is to think about what happens anytime we learn how to do something new.I am referring to anything we learn to do from scratch. Let's say for example driving a car or use a br

  + THE MOST POWERFUL BLACK HOLES QUENCHED THEIR GALAXY'S STAR FORMATION A survey of galaxies performed with ESA's Herschel Space Observatory has shown that only the most powerful black holes in the early Universe were able to quench the formation of stars in their host galaxies. This finding is an important contribution to our understanding of one of the most hotly debated phases of galaxy evolution. http://sci.esa.int/jump.cfm?oid=50333 + HOW MASSIVE STARS SCULPT A COSMIC CRIB ESA's Herschel Space Observatory has captured a new, stunning image of Cygnus X, one of the richest star-forming regions in our cosmic neighbourhood. The image reveals in unprecedented detail the intricate network of filaments, pillars and bubbles present in the region. These structures have been carved by the powerful effects of the many young, massive stars being born in this stellar nursery. http://sci.esa.int/jump.cfm?oid=50343 + HUBBLE OBSERVES A DWARF GALAXY WITH A BRIGHT NEBULA [HEIC120

'The car was totally immobilized' : In the summer of 1961 when I was twelve years old, I was at my girlfriends house and we were playing and her father yelled for us to come outside, he wanted us to see something. When we walked outside we immediately saw a giant silver craft. It was silently hovering above a tree. It had red, green and white lights that I thought at the time were rotating but I realize they were pulsating.      Someone called the police. Two Novi police came. Her father actually brought a telescope out and he asked me to look through the telescope, I said, 'Why? It's right there.'      I didn't even understand why I would even look through a telescope. It was so close. And then there was a car coming down the road. There was a tree here and a craft here and a car coming down the road and as it got right underneath the craft, a beam of light came out of the bottom and it went right to the roof of the car and as soon as it touched the car the c

hurricanes are a cooling off system for Gaia, though they have disastrous effects on populations. the reason i googled this topic is because i saw something about this on a tv program and i wanted to share..... the earth can take care of herself, and won't likely suffer from global warming BECAUSE  when there is global warming, there will be more hurricanes ( and who knows what else). she will " sweat " more...but WE could pay the price. love, adds How Hurricanes Help Regulate (Cool) The Earth's Atmosphere Earth Cooling Mechanism: Hurricane's Sunday, August 26, 2007 Earth Cooling Mechanism: Hurricane's Do hurricanes play a major role in cooling the Earth's atmosphere? Here is a fantastic satellite image and description of a major hurricane cooling the Pacific Ocean and the atmosphere. Is the Earth's atmosphere going to heat up due to global warming beyond control? No. Can man intervene and control the weather? Totally improbable. Peter From

This will serve as an introduction to the Gaia hypothesis; It is a review (published in 1989) of James Lovelock's The Ages of Gaia What is the hypothesis of Gaia ? Stated simply, the idea is that we may have discovered a living being bigger, more ancient, and more complex than anything from our wildest dreams. That being, called Gaia, is the Earth. More precisely: that about one billion years after it's formation, our planet was occupied by a meta-life form which began an ongoing process of transforming this planet into its own substance. All the life forms of the planet are part of Gaia. In a way analogous to the myriad different cell colonies which make up our organs and bodies, the life forms of earth in their diversity coevolve and contribute interactively to produce and sustain the optimal conditions for the growth and prosperity not of themselves, but of the larger whole, Gaia. That the very makeup of the atmosphere, seas, and terrestrial crust is the result of radical
