Are we pushing the human race towards extinction - again?
I am trying to figure out if near-extintions were caused by the giants.
The Norwegian scientist and adventurer Thor Heyerdahl observed climate changes all over the world. He was afraid that our future is threatened by our use of fossil fuels - and asked if the human race was about to make itself extinct to almost the last man. Again.
The Norwegian researcher and adventurer Thor Heyerdahl of the Kon-Tiki fame travelled the world almost non-stop his whole adult life to find our cultural origins. "To be able to say something about the future you must know the past," was what he said.
Not long before he passed away in 2002, he asked me on the phone if we humans might have gone extinct almost to the last man before, might be several times. And he wondered if we could have been the culprits ourselves, as so many legends and religious scriptures say.
Since that phone-call I have worked as much as I have been able to in my spare time to find answers to his questions. And I am getting more and more convinced that Heyerdahl was on to something very, very important.
The Greeks legends are telling that there were four ages of humanity (or five if you include the Heroic cycle). The first was The Golden Age. The many gods of the time, like the major god Zeus, lived on Mount Olympus but mingled among the ordinary humans. Lesser gods were called titans and one of them was Prometheus who stole the fire from the gods and gave it to the humans. Wikipedia clams that The Golden Age according to the Greek poet Hesiod was from around 500 to 300 BC and ended in a war between Athens and Sparta - but this is wrong since Hesiod shall have lived between 750 and 650 BC. So The Golden Age must have been earlier than that!
The Silver Age followed the Golden Age, and during this Age the people lived to be a hundred years but men refused to worship the gods and Zeus destroyed them for lack of respect.
So Zeus created new humans out of the ash tree. The Bronze Age was undone by the humans' violent ways and came to an end with the flood of Deucalion. Deucalion can be compared to Utnapishtim of the Sumerian flood in the Epic of Gilgamesh, and to Noah of the Flood from the Bible.
The Iron Age followed and it was definitely not a good age, with humans living in misery - with a total lack of respect for anything or anybody. This brought this Age to an end.
The fifth age was The Heroic Age, where the heroes fought at Troy and Thebes. This race of giants disappeared when the heroes went to the Elysium Fields; a place that according to Homer was located on the western edge of the Earth.
The Greeks people of the time did not believe that what the poets Hesiod and Ovid wrote was mythology or fairytales but events that had taken place - the gods and titans were real, the downfalls of humanity were real!
Also the Chaldeans of ancient Mesopotamia (today what is most of Iraq and Kuwait, the eastern parts of Syria and south-eastern Turkey) have legends about cycles of time named after gold, silver, steel and iron, and so did the people of the Persian empire established by Cyrus the Great in 550 BC.
In Egypt they believed that the world had arisen out of the lifeless waters of chaos, called Nu. A pyramid-shaped mound, the "benben", was the first thing to emerge from the waters. Diodorus Siculus, a Greek historian who lived between 60 and 30 BC says: "The Egyptians were strangers, who, in remote times, settled on the banks of the Nile, bringing with them the civilization of their mother country, the art of writing, and a polished language. They had come from the direction of the setting sun and were the most ancient of men."
When the Great Pyramid first was opened an inch thick layer of salt was found inside up to a level corresponding to the watermarks on the outside. Might be the Great Pyramid was the "benben"?
Robert Schoch, a geologist and professor from USA, created a fuss when he dated the Sphinx to be much older that earlier believed - at least 7.000 years old. Now, two Ukrainian researchers have proposed that the Sphinx of Egypt is around 800.000 years old, and they back it up by science!
Not only does the dating of the Sphinx point to a period long before the first dynasty but there is also used a technology in ancient Egypt that should not have existed at that time. Take jars and bowls made of granite and basalt. Some of them are fully hollowed with narrow undercut flared openings, and some even have long necks. They would be hard to make even today with modern equipment like diamond tipped drills. Yes, it is safe to say that the techniques or machinery employed to produce these jars and bowls has yet to be replicated!
When examined in 1968 it was reported that the Great Pyramid was permeated with a mysterios energy that "defied all known laws of physics". The latest news (November 2017) is that archaeologists has discovered a mysterious void deep within the Great Pyramid. It has been said the Great Pyramid stemmed from the Golden Age of Giants before the Great Flood.
Graham Hancock is a British researcher of ancient technology. In this Youtube-video he says he has no idea on how the Great Pyramid was built: That the knowledge needed to build the pyramid with such a precision did not exist at the time the pyramid is said to been have built. And asks if it was built in a time of humanity unknown to us.
The Aztecs of Central America (and the Maya before them) called the ages/periods for "suns" and they believed that we have been through four suns.
In the first sun the first god, Ometeotl, was both male and female and had created itself. Ometeotl gave birth to four children; Quetzalcoatl, Tezcatlipoca, Tlaloc and Xipe Totec. They created the world with humans and other gods. The humans in the first period were giants. Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca had a fight which Quetzalcoatl won but Tezcatlipoca took revenge be sending jaguars that killed all the humans/giants and ended the first sun.
In the second sun humans were created again but this time not as giants. But it so happened that the humans became corrupt. Tezcatlipoca did not like this and transformed them all to monkeys - and sent hurricanes to wipe them out.
Tlaloc was responsible for the third sun but Tezcatlipoca stole his wife. I revenge Tlaloc transformed alle the humans to dogs, butterflies and turkeys. Quetzalcoatl also got angry, and sent fire and ash that ended this period/sun.
The god chosen to reign the forth sun was Tlalocs sister Chalchiuhtlicue. Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca got jealous and turned the humans into fish. This sun/period was ended by a great flood.
We are now in the fifth sun and the legends foretell that our sun/periode will end in earthquakes.
The Hopi Indians of Arizona in USA say that we have been through three world cycles - that we are now in the forth. Tawa, the Sun Spirit, was the creator and he had formed the first world with all it's inhabitants out of endless space. In each previous period/world the people had become disobediant to what Tawa wanted; they would not live in harmony but fought each other and engaged in sexual promiscuity. So the worlds were destroyed with their wicked inhabitants and just a few survived. The Hopi are today afraid that the cycle we are in will come to an end if we do not change our ways.
Their legends also tell that they originally lived in a land in the middle of the Pacific Ocean but had to flee when the sea rose. The God that helped them get from island to island across the ocean was Sky Kachina, and she had six fingers and could fly.
The Four Creations are stories that were recorded in the 1950s by Oswald White Bear Fredericks and his wife Naomi from the storytelling of older Hopi at the village of Oraibi.
Also in North America there has been controversy of what caused near glacial conditions during the Younger Dryas. The most common theory was here, like many other places in the world; that the cooling was caused by a comet hitting the Earth. New research contradicts this: "Chronological evidence fails to support claim of an isochronous widespread layer of cosmic impact indicators dated to 12,800 years ago", said archaeologist David Meltzer at the proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences in 2014.
So what caused the cooling of the USA? Nobody seems to know.
What now seems to be certain is that North America was inhabited thousands of years earlier than before believed. And we know there are many stories of giants coming from overseas with an advanced technology: The Mound Builders. And also hundreds of newspaper articles telling about large bones found in mounds and elsewhere.
The hindu of South-East Asia believe that we humans have been through three cycles of time, and are now living in the fourth. The first period was the Satya or Krita Yuga, and this was considered a Golden Age. The second was The Treta Yuga, the Age of Ritual. The third period was the Dvapara Yuga, the Age of Doubt: Man loses the sense of the Divine Reality of the world and grows away from natural law. The Kali Yuga, the Age of Conflict and Confusion, began in 3012 BC and will end with the nearly total devastation of the present humanity. There is almost no memory of the previous cycles of time so we do not know much about the dates and duration.
James Churchward was a retired British officer and archaeologist that had served in India and he claimed that a Hindu priest had showed him ancient clay tablets telling about a lost continent. After mastering the language himself, he said that Mu was the home of an advanced civilization which flourished between 50.000 and 12.000 years ago. Mu should have had 64 millions inhabitants, plus colonies on the other continents. Churchward claimed that Mu was located in the Pacific Ocean, stretching north-south from Hawaii to the island of Mangaia in the Cook Islands, and east-west from the Mariana Islands to Easter Island. The inhabitants had been a white rase "superior in many respects to our own", but eventually Mu was "completely obliterated in almost a single night"
So what do we actually know about the different cycles of time? Are the legends about earlier times in human history just myths and fairytales - or are they the history books before we humans got a written language?
Well, the first period of mass extinction on Earth, as far as we know, was the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event that led to the extinction of most dinosaurs about 66 million years ago.
The so called "Ica stones" is a collection of andesite stones found in Peru with depictions of dinosaurs and also tall humans. The mainstream scientists claim that the Ica-stones are fake since humans did not co-exist with dinosaurs. The man that found them in the 1960s admitted at one stage to have made the carvings, but later but later recanted this, saying that he had claimed they were a hoax to avoid imprisonment for selling archaeological artefacts.
Many of the so-called "Acambaro Figurines" found in Mexico depict dinosaurs. Most scientists believe that the figurines are not genuine, and again; no humans have ever seen a dinosaur, they died out long before homo sapiens came to existence. Well, thermoluminescence testing has shown that the figurines are about 4500 years old. The question is then: How could somebody make a figurine depicting a dinosaur, when fossil records of dinosaurs did not exist?
On the walls of the Ta Prohm temple in Cambodia there are hundreds of carvings of familiar animals but one of the carvings seems to be of a Stegosaurus dinosaur! Again; the main stream scientists say that this is a hoax or that the depiction does not show a dinosaur. But research has shown that the carved figure is old - and it definitely looks like a Stegosaurus!
There are also other findings showing humans at an very ancient time, like the "Petralona man" in Europe found to be 700.000 years old and the Valsequillo artefacts from Mexico (included a engraved "green" mastodon bone!) dated to ca. 250.000 years before the present. The aboriginal people of Australia have legends about a very ancient time when tall humans walked among the big animals, like the "bunyip".
There have been found what is believed to be ancient human footprints together with dinosaur footprints in Australia and the same goes for footprints in Texas!
Yes, resent finding of ancient footprints suggests that "humanlike creatures" may have roamed Crete, Greece's largest island, nearly 6 million years ago! And the latest "breaking news" is that 9.7 million old "humanlike teeth" has been discovered in Germany! These findings could (or should) so absolutely rewrite the history of mankind!
I believe that the 11.000 year old head of stone found in Nevali Çori, close to Göbekli Tepe in Turkey, also could rewrite history. From the top of the head and backwards is something that the archaeologists claim is a snake or a hairstyle called "shika". Well, I have never heard about a snake with such a head - and the shika hairstyle does not at all look like that! Or what about the ancient Serpent Mound in Ohio, made thousands of years ago by a the earlier mentioned Mound Builders? There were over 10.000 burial mounds in Ohio but unfortunately the early pioneers destroyed most of them.
The Ohio Valley shall according to legends have been inhabited by a race of giants. A "serpent" is an old name for a snake, but the figure in the old map of the Serpent Mound does not really look like a snake either. But take a look at a human sperm and you will see likenesses - but of course the people of the time did not have microscopes and did not know what sperm look like. Or did they?
supposedly found in Germany and in 1958 a jawbone of a child was found in Tuscany in Italy.
In 1891 a gold chain as found in a chuck of coal Illinois of the USA, and an iron pot was found in Oklahoma in 1912.
In 1944 a man named Newton Anderson claimed to have found a bell in a lump of coal when it was mined close to his house in West Virginia. The bell shall have been analysed at the University of Oklahoma and it was found to contain an unusual mixture of metals, different from any modern usage.
And take a look at the following webpage, here are pictures, explained with words, of ancient megaliths showing unexplained advanced technology: "12 Photographs Mainstream Archaeology Does Not Want You To See".
These are just a few samples - and you will find the same all over the world. Chinese legends tell about former ages, called "kis", and so do Buddhist scriptures. And the Christian Bible. As well as the Norse legends about mighty gods and end of times - like Thor and Ragnarok.
When it come to what we can call the most resent end of times about 12,000 years ago there are hundreds of flood stories all over the world. And new research by acclaimed underwater archaeologist Robert Ballard in the Back Sea off the coast of Turkey has found traces of an ancient civilization hidden underwater since the time of Noah. He believes that he has found proof that the biblical flood was actually based on real events.
A massive network of 12,000 year old underground tunnels has been discovered beneath Europe. By Robert Sepehr who is an author, producer and independent anthropologist.
Well, it is impossible to go back in time. Some say we will get the answers to questions of ancient times and gods when the so called Osiris tomb (Osiris was the god of the dead, but also of resurrection and fertility) under the Great Pyramid will be opened. There is supposed to be a tomb deep down under the pyramid, with a sarcophagus covered with water that kind of fizzes when items are thrown down. The question is also if the Great Pyramid is far, far older than we have been learned to believe (it is different to other pyramids).
So who made all the megaliths and other very ancient structures and items that the people of the time should not be able to make? Who made the huge wall of Sacsayhuaman of Peru in South America? Who made the "impossible" wall of Baalbek in Lebanon with stones weighing more than 1000 kg? Who made the impressive Tihuanaco high up in the mountains of Bolivia? And the Great Pyramid and jars made of basalt in Egypt?
Well, the legends tell that there was a race of giants behind all this; tall humans with an advanced technology. Most often it is said that they were survivors of a worldwide deluge. These giants were often called gods, and they helped the people to develop what we call civilization. Very often they became the kings/rulers of the countries. So what happened? How come they disappeared?
Some scriptures and legends say it all came to an end when the people stopped to respect them. Some were killed, like Goliath, who is said to have been the last of the Anakim giants in Caanan. Some legends say that the surviving giants after the deluge were all male, while other say that the conditions on the earth changed so much that they died out like the dinosaurs. Or might be their existence was against the Gaia principle that there is a self-regulating complex system that maintains the conditions for life on our planet; that they did not fit in?
In Genesis 6:1-5 we can read: "The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came into the daughters of man and they bore children to them. They were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown."
There is some discussion on who the Nephilim were. Some say the Nephilim were the offspring of the "sons of God" and the "daughters of men", but other say that the word "Nephilim" mean "Giant". And that makes more sense doesn't it? And be aware that the word God is translated wrong (on purpose?) from the oldest scriptures - the world used in the Hebrew Bible was "Bene Elohim", which means "gods" - not "god". There never was only one god! Might be Nephilim DNA mixed with human DNA did not go very well?
But my question is: Might be their technology was too advanced? Some researchers say that The Great Pyramid was a power plant. Well, might be they actually got it up and running - and that it created more problems that it solved? Catastrophic problems??
The genius Nikola Tesla wrote an article called "The Problem of Increasing Human Energy". He worked for years trying to make a "Self-acting Engine" that could run indefinitely from the solar energy stored in the air. But he was not successful - and might be we should be happy he was not? There is so often a negative side to easy solutions - and remember that the energy is always used for something and that the end-product of energy is heat!
Catastrophism: the theory that certain vast geological changes were caused by catastrophes, sometimes worldwide in scope, rather than gradual evolutionary forces.
Uniformitarianism: the theory that slow incremental changes, such as erosion, created all the Earths geological features and that processes that operated in the remote geological past are not different from those observed now.
So if we have had periods on earth when humans died out to almost the last man as Thor Heyerdahl asked, and I have tried to look into - why have we not heard about it?
Lloyd Pye was one of the first researchers to claim that human origins might not be the way we have learned in school. ,"Everything You Know Is Wrong" was his famous book where he writes that there is an "incredible array of obscured, forgotten, and even deliberately hidden facts" when it comes to human history.
Today more and more researchers; like Graham Hancock, David Hatcher Childress, Michael Cremo, Robert Schoch and John Anthony West, ask if we have a hidden and forbidden history: That hardly anything we have learned about the early human activity is correct. And as you have seen: My research agrees.
Why shall we not learn about it? Well, that it a great question - might be you have the answer?
Ok. Ok. So we might have been through periods of time where we went under to almost the last man as Thor Heyerdahl asked but will it happen again?
in fact it was only the end of a cycle in the ancient Mayan calendar.
Remember that the Hopi Indians are saying that we are now living in the fourth cycle/world? Many Hopi elders claim that we are living in the final days of the last world. Dan Katchongva, a spiritual leader of the Hopi, said the following in 1970 of what will be the signs: "Nature will speak to us with its mighty breath of wind. There will be earthquakes and floods causing great disasters, changes in the seasons and in the weather, disappearance of wildlife, and famine in different forms. There will be gradual corruption and confusion among the leaders and the people all over the world, and wars will come about like powerful winds."
Some say that according to many legends and scriptures (even the Bible); that the end of time will be in 2025. We will have to wait and see!
.Thor Heyerdahl started the Foundation for Exploration and Research on Cultural Origins (FERCO) in 1992. After his death in 2002 the foundation was closed.
Thor Heyerdahl was very afraid that it will be our use of fossils fuels like oil, coal and gas that we give us humans problems this time.
Here is what Cecilie Mauritzen, lead author of the 4th and 5th Assessment Reports of the Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change, and also Chief Scientist at the Kon Tiki 2 Expedition, said at the Paris Climate Change Conference in November 2015 - all in the spirit of Thor Heyerdahl (and on behalf of the ocean): "I wish to turn your attention to an aspect of climate change that you have quite possibly never considered. It is an issue of great importance and grave consequences for the ocean, namely that of oxygen depletion. Well, the ultimate reason is the emission of carbon dioxide associated with combustion of fossil fuels. This emission creates temperature increases in the ocean, just like on land. And when the surface ocean gets warmer it gets more buoyant, making it difficult to mix the surface waters with the deep water. This is a worrisome trend that we, the Ocean, worry deeply about, not just because it affects our own creatures, but because it affects all Earth's creatures, great and small, rich and poor, women and man, child and old. There is only one way to stop this worrisome trend, namely to curb the emissions of carbon dioxide."
Some years ago I asked a scientist in the USA specializing in DNA if there were ever found human DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid; the hereditary material in humans and almost all other organisms) in crude oil. I was wondering if oil not only could be remains after plants and animals washed to the sea in a worldwide catastrophe but also humans. He answered that oil had been formed under too much pressure and too hight temperatures for any DNA to remain but he thought my question was interesting! So who knows; might be you are driving your car on the remains of your ancient forefathers!
Thor Heyerdahl was first of all a scientist, and he researched early human history all of his adult life. He said that to be able to say something about the future you must know the past. He was very afraid that our use of fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas could bring us to the brink of extinction again: He travelled around the world almost non-stop, and he had seen climate changes everywhere he went.
I was as earlier mentioned in contact with Heyerdahl, mostly because I was called "the world's first climate refuge" by media all over the world when I was forced to leave the home I had built in my Polynesian wife's country Tuvalu.
Tuvalu is so close to the equator that according to the books you shall not have any cyclones there. After three of them had threatened to wash us to the sea we left the island life we loved and moved to Norway, the country of birth to Thor Heyerdahl and myself. We had our little daughter Sonia and felt responsible for her; the islands of Tuvalu are flat atolls barely peeping out of the ocean.
Well, we could leave but the other people of Tuvalu could not; there are immigration laws everywhere. Australia and New Zealand have promised to take the Tuvaluan people in if something seriously happen but then of course it might be too late for many of the country's 10.000 people!
There have been cyclones also after we left but luckily nobody had been killed - so far. My wife's brother Mau had his house washed away but he and his son managed to survive by climbing up a nearby three.
"You have a big mission in bringing your scary message forward. You have felt something we all will eventually experience if we do not change our ways in time", is what Heyerdahl wrote to me in a letter in 1997.
Of course I could not just sigh of relief when settling down in Norway, safe from cyclones. My wife's family is still in Tuvalu! They are not allowed to go to Norway either; it does not matter if I am Norwegian citizen! So I started a campaign to get the Norwegian government to understand the dangers of climate change. I even wrote a letter with a plea to the king that Sonia delivered personally to the royal castle!
I got a response from the government but they could not promise anything. I was a couple of times on the TV in debate programs; "what an angry man" was all the response I got! So in year 2000 I started an internet magazine, Klima Nytt (Climate News), where I daily, without a cent for it, publish the news from the Norwegian newspapers on the internet when it comes to climate change and climate politics. So far there are no good news - the climate changes are getting worse and worse and we are hardly doing anything to stop them.
The World Commission on Environment and Development (WCED), the so called Brundtland Commission (led by the then Norwegian prime minster Gro Harlem Bruntland) was established by UN in 1983 "to unite countries to pursue sustainable development together". The commission concluded that it saw no other option for the world, the industrialized countries, than to reduce the use of energy by 50 percent. Since that time I guess we have doubled, or even tripled, the use of energy - and nobody seems to worry. "We need more energy!" is what you hear every day!
We will have to hope that the Paris Agreement of 2015 will be a step in the correct direction. The Agreement aims to "respond to the global climate change threat by keeping a global temperature rise this century well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase even further to 1.5 degrees Celsius." As of October 2017, 195 UN-member countries have signed the agreement, and 169 have become party to it.
But the question is of course how many countries that accentually will reduce their carbon emissions enough to honour what they have signed!
It was not so easy for me to move to Norway of more reasons than it is cold there and far from my wife's family in Tuvalu: Norway is making most of its money from export of oil and gas. Yes, Norway even exports a bit of coal from the island of Svalbard! Fossil fuels like oil, gas and coal are the culprits when it comes to rising temperatures and dangerous climate changes. The climate changes are already killing several hundred people every week!
So in that way I feel I am partly responsible that my wife's family is living with a constant fear of drowning.
- The most abundant GHG, carbon dioxide (CO2), is the product of burning fossil fuels.
So how long time do we have left before we might face extinction?
Professor of mathematics and astronomy at University of London, Stephen Hawking, is often called the brightest star in the scientific universe. In the BBC's science series Tomorrow's World, Professor Hawking said he thinks due to climate change, overdue asteroid strikes, epidemics and population growth, humans will need to find a new planet to populate within a single lifetime. That we have to abandon Earth or face extinction.
- Mankind will be extinct in 100 years because of climate change! The comments were first made by Australian microbiologist Dr Frank Fenner in 2010, but engineer and science writer David Auerbach has reiterated the doom-laden warning in his latest article. He criticises the recent G7 summit for failing to deal with the problems facing the survival of humanity, such as global warming and exhausting Earth's resources.
Mr Auerbach goes on to say that experts have predicted that 21st century civilisation faces a similar fate to the inhabitants of Easter Island, who went extinct when they overexploited their natural habitat.
Biology professor Guy McPherson, from University of Arizona, believes there is nothing we can do to prevent the mass extinction of the human race.
He claims human-driven climate change will bring about the sixth mass extinction of humankind within the next decade. He told Newshub: "It's locked down, it's been locked in for a long time - we're in the midst of our sixth mass extinction."
Well, I do not know how long time it will take but I know we are in trouble - big time! After editing Climate News since year 2000 and having experienced how dangerous climate changes can be I know we have to act before it is too late. And time is running out!
And it is so hard to have a positive belief in the humans of today. I am experiencing so many people in total denial. Like many people of Norway. Norway is already is experiencing more rain than normal, just as IPCC predicted a few years ago. But the so called climate sceptics just say that everything is normal. It might be easy to close ears and eyes for what is happening but that is not helping the future generations much!
Why such an unwillingness to think of the coming generations? Or the people that already is suffering and dying from the climate changes? Why is the size of your own wallet more important than your children and grandchildren? What has happened to us? What has happened to our conscience? Something is terribly wrong!!
So might be it is time to say bye-bye for good - or will we manage to turn around and change our ways?
Humans in California 130,000 Years Ago?
Another illustration (on a mammoth tusk; carved, polished and engraved ) said to be of snakes - in Mal'ta, Siberia: "On one side of the plate we can see three snakes. The snake is rare in northern hemisphere Paleolithic art, presumably because the cold conditions precluded a wide distribution of snakes. In addition, it can be seen that the snakes have very broad heads, as though they belong to the Cobra group - yet Cobras are now known only in southern asian localities."
Does it not look much more like human sperm - like on the stone head from Turkey??
 A tiny artifact depicting a human figure was found in 1889, when workers were drilling water well near Nampa, in southwest Idaho. The artifact skillfully formed in clay, is a true mystery that has baffled scientists for many years.
Summary: About 12,800 years ago, thanks to fragments of a comet, humans saw an astonishing 10 percent of the Earth's land surface, or about 10 million square kilometers, consumed by fires.
This is only one ancient map showing the world as we know it today - there are others, copies of even older maps! Who made them - and when?
Your sincere concern and informed perspective are refreshing. And you're asking a question that richly deserves humanity's undivided attention. Alas, mass environmental epiphany (about carbon) isn't going to happen. So whatever happens to the positive will need to happen in spite of humanity's entrenched self-defeating ways. The old Margaret Mead quote about never forgetting what a small group can do is looming larger. I for one hope it's small groups doing good work and not a push by a desperate few into the politics of climate denial that sends our race and what remains of the natural order into the geologic record as a thin, black line of carbonaceous glop. I'd like to believe our species' best years are ahead, but first we've got to survive what we've accrued (and still piling up in fact) and learn how to make it work, or else.
Wishing you the best of what's left, and what's right, in 2018.
Using lidar, researchers have found that the recently-discovered city, known as Angamuco, was more than double the size of Tzintzuntzan  although probably not as densely populated  extending over 26 km2 of ground that was covered by a lava flow thousands of years ago. According to Fisher, more than 100,000 people are thought to have lived in Angamuco in its heyday between about 1000AD to 1350AD."
A nine hundred years old city years old covered with lava many thousand years old? How can that be? And according to Wikipedia's "Timeline of volcanism on Earth" there were no volcanic activity in the area after 1350. The only volcanic eruption in Mexico the last thousand years or so was from Ceboruco "a dacitic stratovolcano located in Nayarit, Mexico, northwest of the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt. The largest eruption, the Jala Plinian eruption, was around 930 AD ±200, VEI 6, releasing 11 cubic kilometres (2.6 cu mi) of tephra."
Well, there is a distance of more than 400 kilometres from Nayarit to the ancient city of Angamuco - so lava from this eruption could not have covered the buildings.
Might be the ancient buildings are much more ancient than we believe? There shall have been volcanic activity in the area with lava flows - but that was more than 2 million years ago!
Science has published a new paper today (08 Dec 2017) looking at the peopling of Eurasia. The results of the paper challenge the single Out of Africa model by ultimately stating that it cannot fully explain the origins of modern humans.

When I first started knitting this piece, it seemed very timely; the tulips were starting to bloom, and the weather was finally heating up. I even took the flannel sheets off my bed. Of course, every action has an equal and opposite reaction, so now it's freaking snowing. Before I start complaining about the cold spring, however, I should mention some important stuff - mainly, that this cowl is worked in two colors of sock weight yarn on size US 5 needles to give it extra airiness. Because the warm weather will arrive eventually, right?
You may be wondering why this thing is called the Nom Nom Garter Hat. The answer to that question is simple - it's because it will eat up your yarn scraps like "nom nom nom!" Before we get started, however, I should tell you a couple of things - first of all, you need roughly 50 yards each of your two main colors in order to get this hat going. Provided you have that, you can do your accent colors with quite small amounts of any worsted- or dk-weight yarns (or smaller, if you hold two strands together!). Also, I wrote my color combination out here so that you could make the hat with the exact same color scheme, if you wanted. Please, however, feel free to ignore my accent coloring (colors C - J), and do your own instead! If you choose to do this, however, you'll definitely want to pay attention to the length of the stockinette stripe on this hat - it is a better indication of the finished length than the garter stitch. To make the color pop, after all, you'll be blocking the snot out of this thing, and the garter will stretch a LOT.
Oh, and last but not least - I designed this hat back-and-forth, both for my peeps who avoid circular knitting, and because that's the only way to truly take advantage of the garter stitch. If you need help converting the pattern for circular knitting, just ask!
This is how I kept my colors straight!

Once again we find ourselves in the midst of the winter holidays. For many it is a joyous time, as we decorate our homes, offices and shops and prepare for get-togethers with family and friends. Happy to recall the good times, we review the year, sometimes with the help of photographs, videos, postcards and souvenirs.
The not-so-good times we often prefer to forget. But unless we have done the healing work that allows us to move on, those challenges will continue to haunt us for a long time. If the less-than-joyous times were due to the loss of a loved one, a job or home, or a dear one moving far away, please allow yourself to acknowledge that loss. It is all right to take time out to shed a tear or two during this otherwise joyous season. And do not forget to acknowledge that through it all you have done the best you can.
During these holidays, let us try to find joy in being with our loved ones wherever we may find ourselves no matter the circumstances. With them we can enjoy sailing through calm waters and we can navigate the rough seas a little more easily before arriving at a beautiful shore. Those who stay we with us the course, along with the trust and love we bestow upon them are the real gifts of the season and the treasures in our lives.
Happy Hannukkah! Happy solstice! Merry Christmas! Happy Kwanzaa!

More than 30 Newmark Homes staff will work at the new building and about 12,000 square feet of retail or restaurant space is available at the site.
Newmark Homes has completed construction on a new 24,000-square-foot building in Katy, at the intersection of I-10 and Grand West Boulevard, just east of the Grand Parkway, according to an Oct. 29 press release. The company will move into the new headquarters in mid-November.
The building is near the future Katy campus for the University of Houston, Katy Asian Town and the Katy Grand development as well as the Grand Parkway Park and Ride. The land and construction cost the company about $10 million, said Haunani Shipper of Total PR, the public relations firm for the development.
Newmark’s offices, including a design center, will reside on the second floor of the building which was designed by Identity Architects. Those offices will take up about half of the building, while 12,000-square-feet of space is available for lease on the first floor, Shipper said.
Newmark hopes to attract independent retailers and professional services such as dentists and restaurants in the available space, Shipper said. The businesses will be supported by more than 100 parking spaces on the site.
According to Newmark’s website, the developer is involved in the Cross Creek Ranch, Grand Ridge Crossing, Fulbrook on Fulshear Creek developments near Katy and Fulshear.

The curtain rises to a scene familiar to any other American tale: A hard-working young man in the south of Pennsylvania makes an earnest living at a local Salvation Army, passing idle time doodling peculiar characters and writing introspective music. He begins working and touring with a well-known band, keeping him away from the comforts of a healthy home. Finally settling down with family in a small New Jersey township, the musical result of his dedication begins to materialize. A work he’s proud to call his own. Such is the story of John Andrews, who’s bounced around enough to know the definition of homesick. And Bit By The Fang is the outcome of that very journey.
Bit By The Fang is indeed an authentic fable craftily written into song. Blending an earnest story with sound is a concept as old as time but has been lost to a desire for immediate gratification. John’s debut album has instead been aged in the style of a Kentucky Bourbon: in the work for years but readily potent and satisfying. You can now experience John Andrews’ artistry for yourself through the purveyors of folk, Woodsist, where Bit By The Fang is now available on vinyl record.

Another recently installed Stratco Cooldek Insulated Carport on timber frame in Palm Beach on the Gold Coast.
Bardera Patios designed this job to suit the angled boundary that the property is located on. With the angled boundary sloping away from the house the sheet span ended up close to 8m. Not wanting any internal posts, with Bardera Patios use of stratco’s engineering team used 150mm Cooldek insulated roofing to achieve the span. We also incorporated the timber frame work at the front as the existing house has timber uses throughout and allows for the carport to look as if it belongs with the original design of the house as opposed to an add on extension.

Is BARF cheaper then feeding kibble?
Most people that learn about feeding a raw food diet or BARF to their pet, would be more than happy to make the change and help their fur friend live as long and healthy a life they can, but all too often, people don’t make the switch, the most common reason why?... Financial.
In a predominantly money driven world, cost is taken into account when making decisions on everything. And more often than not, people choose to pay $120/month on the bag of kibble they buy rather than $150/month on Raw & Fresh.
Unfortunately comparing a commercial pet food diet i.e. kibble/dry food to Raw & Fresh is of course like comparing apples and oranges - they’re completely different products!
So I thought I’d share my perspective on this.
Feeding a Raw & Fresh / BARF diet is most likely going to cost more at the checkout than most kibbles, but have you weighed up all the costs that it will be saving you over the months or years at the vet?
For example, the most common health concern in pets these days is obesity and health matters related to it i.e. breathing difficulty, osteoarthritis, heart conditions, diabetes, high blood pressure and an increased risk of developing malignant tumors. And you know the best way to manage weight is, just like humans, with fresh unprocessed foods, like Raw & Fresh!
Unfortunately merely by loving pets too much and feeding them highly processed foods and too many sugar filled treats, humans can actually be doing more damage than good!
Or another example, people come to me who are spending a small fortune on steroid creams to help their pet overcome their allergies, but are inadvertently hindering any efforts by continuing to feed them the kibble the pet is actually allergic to! Once they make the switch to Raw & Fresh, they no longer have to visit the vet constantly and buy medications to set them back $200+ per month.
If you have a pet that is spending too much time (and money) at the vet, get in touch with us today to see if changing to a Raw & Fresh diet can help them on their way to a healthier (virtually vet-less) future.

Not too many years ago the word’involve’ became the star word, so, at least in management terms, it was about involving people in the company’s objectives. A little later, and until today, “participate” is the little word that has become the winner of the first place, year after year. I suppose that the innate desire to belong makes people, consciously or unconsciously, want to participate in some kind of collective, either as part of an artist’s fan club or as members of a political grouping. The point is to make it easier for people to participate.
An example of how people can actively participate in an event is reality shows; yes, those that deal with vocalists, gymnasts and even amateur dancers. Typically, a jury of people who do understand the subject will filter through the first contestants, until there comes a time when, reduced to a dozen or so – let’s say – the participants begin to depend, to some extent, on the support of the public. Now, how does this public show their sympathy, apathy or antipathy towards this or that contestant? Right, through your vote. And how do you vote? Well, on the phone.
Well, just as you can vote for an artist via text message, why can’t you do the same to choose a country’s president? The system is much safer than any other system that includes “urn”, “darkroom”, and/or the traditional “canvassing table”. There would certainly be an initial work of registration and purging, in the sense of one mobile number, one vote’, which would avoid duplication, but the thing would be more of a processing of existing information’ for telephone companies. Now, let’s examine some consequences of voting via text message.
First of all, the results would be visible on the day of the vote; there would be no such thing as a “ballot counting” circus (no one would have to be paid to count and recount the votes). No one would have to move from such a place to such a place to vote (which would save each voter these travel expenses). The cost of each message is, if not free, extremely cheap or at least accessible. Regarding the identity of the voters, secrecy can also be maintained through a simple algorithm. So I don’t see the downside.
However, oh economists, oh politicians, oh Duality, which for some represents an expense, for others represents an income. That is to say, part of my money as a taxpayer becomes income for the owner of the printing shop who prints the ballots, for the one who sells the refreshments consumed by the judges, for the one who builds the ballot boxes, for the one who sells the indelible ink, for the driver who moves some voters, and so on. So, I laugh and pity the “adult” people who think that GOING to vote is a “thinking” people.
Yes, there is a place where everything is online: Estonia, where you can even get a virtual citizenship. Search and you will find.

Those three little words can change your life, but when a narcissist says “I love you,” those words take on an entirely different meaning than what you’d expect.
The following is a letter to the unfortunate souls who have fallen in love with someone who can never really love them back, written from the perspective of the narcissist.
I normally wouldn’t say this, or ever acknowledge it, because then the manipulative game I have lured you into would be over. I wouldn’t have anyone to hand off my responsibilities to- and you’re so good at carrying my share of the relationship, as well as yours.
When I say “I love you,” what I really mean is I love the things you do for me.
I love how you want to believe I love you so badly, that you are willing to deny the truth, even when it is right in your face.
I love that regardless of the fact I continually make you feel small and insignificant, you still give me the power to take advantage of your kindness by exploiting your good intentions. It always makes me feel better to make you feel worse.
I love how easy it is to make you doubt yourself and question your own sanity. You never know what’s real, or what’s right, unless I tell you- complete control at it’s finest.
I love how your expectations of me gradually decline, while the ones I have for you are constantly rising. Of course, if they’re not met, the look of failure and disappointment that washes over your face always makes me smile.
I love how the entire focus of your life is me. Fixing my problems, solving my issues, relieving my pain- it’s all about me, and never you. I love that you never take time for yourself or acknowledge your own issues in life that require attention.
“I love you” has nothing to do with you, and everything to do with how I feel when you are around me. To be clear, my happiness is your responsibility.
When I say I love you, I really am referring to the love of hatred for you (and me). It sounds confusing, I know. Even though I hate myself and experience self-loathing on a daily basis, I can love myself vicariously through the love that you feel towards me. I hate having to rely on you for this, so I will make you suffer emotionally to pay for it.
I love how I can dangle the carrot of affection in front of you, and you will do anything to taste it- even briefly. I know you want me to give you some sign that I really do care about you, and I know you want me to show some support, but why would I ever do that? It’s the act of tempting you with those things you will never get that keeps you with me.
I love how you won’t leave me because you are just as hooked on this toxic relationship as I am.
I love how I can instantly turn myself in to the victim when you try to bring up one of my many personality flaws, or harmful behaviours. I’m sure you remember more than one instance when you tried to point out something I did that hurt you, and I made you feel horrible for even mentioning it.
I love how I make you think you need me, and make you feel like I am doing you a favour by being in a relationship with you. I have broken you down enough to the point that you don’t think you’re worth more than I say you are.
I love how you think you are with someone who loves you. A normal person, with a healthy emotional grasp of things, isn’t capable of simply turning love off and on. But I’m the kind of person who shows love and affection as a manipulation tool and uses it it to get what I want.
In summary, I want you to know that when I say “I love you,” it isn’t what you want it to be, and it isn’t what love truly represents for the rest of the world. But as you are well aware, I don’t live in the real world- I define my own rules and expect you to live by them too.
Please know that you won’t ever be able to change me, and if you try, you will fail. I have been this way with everyone in my life ever since I was denied genuine love and support as a child. I’ll take it out on you with hurtful words and manipulative tactics under the guise of love, but we both know it’s not real.
Or, at least, we should both know now.
Do you know someone who needs to read this letter? Please share and comment.

This is the opening movement of a sonata in B minor for flute and keyboard that is thought to have been composed by George Frideric Handel. First published in 1730, the sonata is referred to as Halle Sonata No. 3 (“Hallenser Sonate Nr. 3” in German). Its authenticity is uncertain; in fact, of the three “Halle” sonatas, it is the best candidate for not having been composed by Handel, although if it wasn't, it is an extremely good imitation of his style.

08 | May | 2017 | TALK & OPINIONS BY SILVIO CANTO JR.
Moments before he made history with his final swing in an incredible four-homer performance, Josh Hamilton stepped to the plate in the eighth inning with a surprising sense of calm.
Hamilton became the 16th player to hit four home runs in a game, launching a quartet of two-run drives against three different pitchers to carry the Rangers to a 10-3 victory Tuesday.
A few months later, Josh left for greener pastures with the Angels. He was never the same player after 2012. Nevertheless, his 5 years with Texas were fantastic.
And he was truly fantastic five years ago tonight!
“On this day in 1945, both Great Britain and the United States celebrate Victory in Europe Day. Cities in both nations, as well as formerly occupied cities in Western Europe, put out flags and banners, rejoicing in the defeat of the Nazi war machine.
As we discussed with Barry, the end of the European war happened very fast. Let’s remember that D-Day was the year before and The Battle of the Bulge happened over the Christmas holidays.
“Welcome back Kotter” was a very popular TV series in the late 1970’s. It gave us four of the funniest characters in TV history: Juan Epstein’s antics Arnold Horshack’s “Oooh, oooh, oooh,” Freddie “Boom Boom” Washington’s “Hi therrre,” Vinnie Barbarino’s “What? What?” and Gabe Kotter’s “Up your nose with a rubber hose”!
The show’s theme song put John Sebastian back on the radio and on the top of charts this week in 1976. Sebastian had many hits years before with The Lovin’ Spoonful, i.e. “Do you believe in magic”, “Summer in the city” and “Daydream”.
It was a great show and song!
Remembering V E Day 1945 with Barry Jacobsen…..
Question: Who was the first Latino to win the Cy Young Award? The answer is Mike Cuellar, who shared the award with Denny McLain in 1969.
We remember Miguel Angel Santana Cuellar today.
Mike was born May 8, 1937 in Las Villas. He started in the Reds’ organization and played with The Sugar Kings, Havana’s AAA franchise.
He spent the next few years between Cincinnati and Houston, where he won 16 games in 1967. Cuellar was traded to the Orioles and won 139 games over the next 7 seasons.
He was one of the most effective pitchers in the American League and won 20-games in 4 different seasons.
He pitched a complete game to win the 1970 World Series for Baltimore. Cuellar also started game 7 of the 1971 World Series but lost 2-1 to the Pirates. All together, Mike pitched in 3 World Series, 5 ALCS and even hit a grand slam in the 1970 ALCS against the Twins!
During his brilliant career, he won 185 games to go with a 3.14 ERA. He also completed 172 starts!
Without question, one of the best Latino pitchers ever.
Mike died in 2010. He was voted # 27 in the Top 40 Orioles of all time.
We remember Harry S. Truman, the 33rd president of the US. He was born in Missouri and assumed the presidency in April 1945 following the death of President Roosevelt. He served the rest of FDR’s term and then was elected on his own in 1948. We remember President Truman for dropping the atomic bomb and several other important national security matters, such as The Marshall Plan that rebuilt Europe after the war.
On election day 1948, everybody thought that Mr Dewey would be the next president of the US.
“On June 24, 1948, the Soviet Union blocked all road and rail travel to and from West Berlin, which was located within the Soviet zone of occupation in Germany. The Soviet action was in response to the refusal of American and British officials to allow Russia more say in the economic future of Germany. The U.S. government was shocked by the provocative Soviet move, and some in President Harry S. Truman’s administration called for a direct military response. Truman, however, did not want to cause World War III. Instead, he ordered a massive airlift of supplies into West Berlin. On June 26, 1948, the first planes took off from bases in England and western Germany and landed in West Berlin. It was a daunting logistical task to provide food, clothing, water, medicine, and other necessities of life for the over 2 million fearful citizens of the city. For nearly a year, American planes landed around the clock. Over 200,000 planes carried in more than one-and-a-half million tons of supplies.
It was a victory for the West. It showed that we had a president who was willing to stand up to the Soviets. In other words, we had a leader rather than “a panderer” for votes.
I should add that Pres Truman made this decision in an election year. He could have played it safe and avoid the issue. Thankfully, Pres Truman put the US, and the West, over his own reelection and demonstrated leadership.
“In the beginning of the candy drops, Halverson used his own weekly candy ration. Soon the other pilots and support staff started giving their candy and gum and their handkerchiefs. The project grew so big that his old army base also began to contribute candy and handkerchiefs. The city of Mobile, Alabama, formed a drive to request help. Soon, candy and handkerchiefs from around the country began arriving for the pilots to drop. One week, Lieutenant Halverson flew 368 pounds of candy and fifty pounds of handkerchiefs from America back with him in his C-54 airplane that he had brought to the states for maintenance work.
“On April 3, 1948, U.S. President Harry S. Truman signs into law the Foreign Assistance Act, commonly known as the Marshall Plan.
Named after U.S. Secretary of State George C. Marshall, the program channeled more than $13 billion in aid to Europe between 1948 and 1951.
Meant to spark economic recovery in European countries devastated byWorld War II, the plan also saved the United States from a postwar recession by providing a broader market for American goods.
It was one of President Truman’s finest hours! We remember a man who had many fine hours as a leader.

The relationship between temperature and humidity is often overlooked, as is the contribution that humidity control makes to maintaining good indoor air quality (IAQ). This can lead to humidity control being omitted from the specification.
However, relative humidity (RH) has a vital role to play in occupant comfort and IAQ.
The acceptable relative humidity RH range for commercial workplaces is 40-60% and this suits both human and machine occupants. Above 60%, people will feel uncomfortable out of all proportion to the actual indoor temperature, with reduced capacity to focus on their work. If comfort cooling is installed, occupants will typically reduce the set point to alleviate discomfort, resulting in increased energy use.
At the other end of the spectrum, RH below 40% makes people feel colder than the actual temperature would suggest, so they turn up the heating, increasing energy consumption. Raising the set point temperature also lowers the RH even further so the problem is exacerbated. Low RH may also cause a wide range of health problems and increase the rate of absenteeism.
With newer, relatively airtight buildings there is a dependence on mechanical ventilation to introduce fresh air from outside. This means the indoor RH is subject to the vagaries of outdoor humidity unless some form of humidity control is deployed to maintain the acceptable 40-60% RH range.
Similarly, older buildings are often quite ‘leaky’ and are therefore also subject to variations in RH depending on outdoor conditions.
Moreover, the RH is further impacted by use of heating and cooling systems. For example, outdoor air in cold weather is often low in moisture and, as noted above, heating it reduces the RH even further. Cooling warm air in summer also removes moisture.
As a result, the most common problem in UK buildings is low RH - it’s not uncommon for the RH in a heated building in winter to fall below 20%. The most common antidote is to install humidification – challenging in an existing building.
At the risk of stating the obvious, humidification involves adding moisture to the air and this can be achieved in several ways. The traditional approach has been to heat water to produce steam; still the best solution for many projects.
There are several ways of generating steam for humidification and the optimum solution will depend on the project.
Clearly, in a carbon-conscious world there is an appetite for solutions that use less energy than steam-generating solutions. As a result, high pressure, low energy systems using cold water are becoming increasingly popular and are easily retrofitted to existing buildings.
These inject water into the air under pressure through multidirectional, fan-assisted nozzles. The pressure ensures the water is atomised and absorbed rapidly into the air – within 1.5m of the nozzle – and these systems can be used with ceiling heights as low as 2.4m.
The nozzle fan heads are about the same size as a CCTV camera, making the system very unobtrusive. The nozzles can be controlled in small groups within a zone, ensuring that the rate of humidification is precisely aligned to the requirements of each space, and multiple zones can be controlled from one central controller.
A key benefit of this approach is that is uses cold water, so that no additional heat energy is required. The absorption into the air (adiabatic humidification) also has a free-cooling effect which reduces the load on comfort cooling systems. For each 500 litres of water that is evaporated such a system provides around 345kW of cooling for a power input of just 4kW.
At the heart of this issue is a true understanding of the term ‘air conditioning’, which has been defined by the Humidity Group of the Hevac Association as ‘a process of altering the properties of air, primarily temperature and humidity, to more favourable conditions’.
This definition reinforces the importance of humidity control as an integral element in systems designed to provide thermal comfort. There are many ways to achieve this, and the best solution will vary from one project to another. The key is to ensure that humidity control is given the appropriate level of importance in the specification.


text: First off, let me state that I really, really believe that remote project management I is a great solution for most projects. It has worked extremely well for me for the past 10 years or so. But I know it’s not for everyone. Remote project management, while often a sensible and cost-effective approach to managing many standard projects, is definitely not without its challenges. In fact, just in terms of communication, leadership, and relationships it can become very challenging. Add in the rogue developer who is looking to become a one-man team, the business analyst who significant expertise in other technologies but is ‘learning’ a new one while helping lead your implementation, or the documentation specialist who is spread too thin across eight different projects but resides 1,500 miles away from you and you can see how certain logistical issues can really impact your projects if you don’t learn to deal with each one of them methodically and carefully.

DBSourceManager is the tool that Openbravo uses for all its database management related tasks, and is behind the well known create.database, update.database, export.database and export.config.script tasks.
In most situations, its functionality is enough to do whatever development task is needed. However, Openbravo keeps updating it to support more database features, and fix bugs, and in some cases, it might be convenient to use a newer version of it to export the development changes to modules before updating Openbravo.
This document describes how to use the last dbsourcemanager in an earlier version of Openbravo. It is necessary to be in MP17 or later to be able to follow this instructions.
After you've copied the files, you can use the normal database tasks (update.database, export.database, ...), and they will be using the new dbsourcemanager.

We have seen a lot of sparklines over the last few years. They’re one of the most used high-density charts out there and, if applied properly, they can be a killer feature of any dashboard or report.
If they’re not abused, datawords can be extremely helpful to illustrate points made in the text.
When you eat cookies, you consume calories. That's % of your recommended daily calories.
I think datawords and explorable explanations (explorable datawords?) go together quite nicely. Don’t you?
Beautiful Evidence also provides some tips on the correct usage of sparklines. Some of those examples can be found in this page.

Yoga is another of those complimentary therapies that has been practised through the generations by many different cultures and in many different forms.
Yoga can be best described as a state of mind somewhere between being awake and being asleep and it should be practised in a completely relaxed environment to allow the mind to take full advantage of this state of relaxation.
It is a dynamic state of sleep and in this so-called ‘Threshold State’ it is said that contact between the unconscious and subconscious can occur. During this time the mind is at its most suggestive.
Yoga allows the mind to be open to suggestion without the individual being in a state of Hypnosis. During this state of suggestive thought the mind is open to ideas that in a conscious state an individual might not be able to relate to. For example, many people who suffer from stress find it difficult to relax but whilst in this state of mind, brought about by the practice of Yoga, they can find that they are more susceptible to the idea of relaxation and calm.
Practitioners of Yoga say that in this state of mind relaxation a progressive period of awareness takes over and allows for the clearing of the nervous system and its connections to the brain, as well as bringing about a state of physical relaxation. Simply put, Yoga relaxes the brain by first relaxing the body.
Yoga should be practised alone in a room with minimal light and the room should be free from distraction or interruption. Classes are run throughout the United Kingdom but it is possible to practice Yoga in the comfort of your own home.
Choosing a ‘sankalpa’, which is a positive resolve such as ‘I will not stress myself’, this is repeated several times once the individual has reached the suggestive state and acts as a message of autosuggestion.
Yoga is used mainly as a means of relaxation and in turn as a way of reducing stress. Given that the process in aimed at placing the individual in a state of calm, it is a very common form of alternative therapy used in the treatment of stress and many people who use Yoga as a means of relaxation have reported their stress levels have dropped considerably.
In addition to the relief of stress it has also been said that Yoga can reduce high blood pressure – itself a firm indicator that stress levels are high – as well a reduction in hypertension and migraine headaches. Again both Hypertension and Migraine headaches are themselves common indicators that an individual can be suffering from high levels of stress but it is worth nothing that in some instances, sufferers of migraines do not necessarily suffer from high levels of stress.
Whatever your reason for participating in practice of Yoga, it has to be said that many of those who do practice it have said that it has gone a long way to reducing the amount of stress and tension in their lives and also provides them with a good means of relaxation.
This in itself is of great emotional and physical benefit as many people who struggle to relax find themselves at the mercy of stress simply because their minds refuse to allow them to wind down. It must be said that any alternative therapy that allows a highly-strung individual to relax and feel calm should be taken seriously and given serious consideration as an alternative to medication.

The emphasis is on the last syllable in Bogotá, Colombia’s emerging capital, and that’s important. The failure to confidently push out that last “a”—to release the city’s name on a promising, upward trajectory—is a common occurrence here in the United States, whether by way of unfamiliarity, laziness (me, pre-visit), or whatever.
Again, this is important. Not because it makes you sound learned, though you are free to school your friends with it (they love when you school them). No, after visiting Bogotá myself, and as a one-time offender, I’ve decided that this mispronunciation is part of a larger misperception of the Bogotá experience.
Like the country it often stands for, Bogotá isn’t what it used to be. The city that welcomed me was a place of energy, of life, and of cultures both new and well-aged. It is the cosmopolitan and bohemian center of post-Escobar Colombia, and though you could probably argue that it still has some work to do—for example, driving can be a bit chaotic (though not Egypt or Thailand chaotic)—there’s no doubt it’s already a place the average traveler can be excited about going.
All to say I’m sure is very nice, but one accent mark (called a , apparently) can make a huge difference. It definitely did for me. And with a little help from a group like , you can add Bogotá to your own travel résumé.
Greater Bogotá sits a refreshingly crisp 2600 meters (~8500 feet) above sea level—high on an Andean plateau—just west of the country’s center. It is home to more than eight million, which makes it the fourth largest city in the Americas (after São Paulo, Mexico City and New York). Once inhabited by an estimated half-million people, it became a focal point of the Spanish-American presence after being “settled” in 1538 (as Santa Fé de Bogotá), and as a result, a nexus of Old and New World cultures. Through the many iterations of the Colombian state over the centuries, Bogotá, as the consistent seat of inconsistent power, has remained the country’s dynamic cultural center—and a swirling blend of Spanish, indigenous, African and modern, cosmopolitan influence.
Though it’s located in the , Bogotá’s elevation gives it a —which means highs in the mid-60s pretty much all year. Lows, too, are consistently in the mid- to low-40s. Precipitation does vary, and the spring and fall months come with a much greater chance of rain. That leaves winter and summer as your best options; if only because I visited in the winter, I’d say it’s your best bet.
Bogotá is serviced by just one airport: the two-terminal El Dorado International Airport (BOG), located just 10 miles west of the downtown area. Its El Dorado terminal (same name as the airport), through which you’ll enter and depart traveling from the U.S., is relatively clean and modern, though with some curious food choices (I got a burger with pieces of tortilla shell layered on with the sauce; wasn’t bad). Rest assured, security and obscenely priced duty-free goods are up to international expectations.
Puente Aereo terminal, which services the Colombian Avianca Airlines and therefore travelers delving deeper into the country, is a bit more chaotic. Navigation is really tough without Spanish, and the feel is a little more “not-quite-there-yet.” Of course, it’s an airport, so you’ll get there, but a guide or a little Spanish is pretty much required.
Helpful tip: In order to leave the country, you must pay an airport exit tax at the Tax Exemptions window. Show the guys in the security line your receipt, and you’ll be good to go. Except: For a stay of less than 30 days, you’re likely looking at $33 U.S., but from what I’ve heard, it’s not always so simple. Check out for more information.
Keep in mind, this is a big city. And like any big city, Bogotá has been both formally and informally sliced into more navigable districts and neighborhoods. With a guide, of course, you’ll never have a problem getting around, but everybody wants to find their bearings, right? Here, the grid is unorthodox, as streets are inclined to wind diagonally and tangentially. It’s kind of illogical. But technically, it is a grid, and it works like this: Carreras (Cr., Kra. or Cra.) run north to south, while calles (Cl. or Cll.) run east to west. The forever-green mountains are always to your east, and the La Candelaria district is the center of it all—historically and grid-orically.
Oh, and don’t go south of La Candelaria. There isn’t much for visitors this way, and the word is it’s not always the safest.
Helpful tip: I’m not sure if it’s the , but Bogotá’s red TransMilenios do offer something most other buses don’t: the chance to haggle. If you don’t have the full 1500 pesos for a ride, you can offer the driver 1000 (one note) by holding up one finger at the stop. If the bus stops, he or she has bitten, and will pocket your money once you’re on. Just make sure to exit through the back door.
Zipaquirá is not actually part of Bogotá proper. It’s close, about 30 miles out, but still, it’s outside city limits—and with the area’s unwavering traffic, my visit came with an hour--long trip each way. Was it worth a half-day of Bogotá time? No question.
Named after the great king (called a Zipa) of the aforementioned Muisca people, Zipaquirá owes its great stature today mainly to its Salt Cathedral, a massive, very surreal Catholic church/complex built deep within the caverns of an active salt mine. Descending into the subterranean cathedral, which is cool even to write, takes you on a dark, winding path past smaller chapels, statues and rock formations, all of which are lifted out of the cool, damp dark by laser-tag-like neon lighting. Without its own bishop, it’s not technically a cathedral, but it’s clearly a place of religious significance, as evidenced by Sunday masses and the spattering of nuns my group crossed paths with down below. No matter your faith, though—and I can specifically vouch here—the place is spectacular.
And did I mention it’s in an active salt mine? Well, you can tour said mine as well while you’re down there. It’s a separate ticket, but it gets you a very cool, very informative window into the literal workings of a tradition that’s shaped world commerce since the time of the Muiscas. Otherwise put: I got to learn about salt production while sneaking through dark passages, banging at salt deposits with a pickaxe and wearing a light-up hat. Pretty fun stuff.
Helpful tip: If you hate crowds, or just want to double down on salt mines, the Nemocón salt mines, located just 30 minutes past Zipaquirá, are somewhat of a local secret, I’m told, and are worth checking out. The guy who manages them (and may or may not give the tours) is apparently a salt-loving character, and has in fact made unsuccessful bids for mayor in the last two elections.
As well as its navigational center, La Candelaria is the historic district of Bogotá—and my favorite part of the city. Back in 1538, this is where the Spanish founded their Santa Fé de Bogotá, and today their legacy lives on as much in the atmosphere as it does in the 450-year-old architecture.
The Plaza de Bolívar, La Catedral Primeda and the rest are impressive, but what I enjoyed most was the warmth with which the district embraced me. To talk about the energy, and the spirit, and the authenticity of the city, I think, is to talk of La Candelaria and its kaleidoscopic Spanish Colonial buildings—red, yellow, fuscia, navy—and its swooping churches both big and small. Walking with the sunset here was a highlight of my trip, and had I had better Spanish at my disposal, I might have tried to share a with the guys kicking it in the plaza.
Not all of La Candelaria’s history is native to the district. Inside its resident walls, Bogotá’s Gold Museum houses more than 55,000 pieces of pre-Hispanic gold and goldwork—otherwise known as the largest collection in the world. The , among others, is pretty impressive, but the quality of knowledge to be absorbed here, if you commit to it, is equally so. Colombia is, after all, the legendary location of (also the name of a Muisca chief, by no coincidence), and I learned enough about that alone in an hour-and-a-half—the length of Disney’s —to make the museum worth the stop. It’s closed on Tuesdays, though.
Hailing from Medellín, Fernando Botero is by most accounts Colombia’s most famous and revered artist. The man behind “Boterismo” put his reciprocal love on display in the late 90s when he donated 208 works—123 of his own and 85 from his collection—to the state, and the result is Bogotá’s Botero Museum.
First of all, entrance is free, so there’s no reason not to at least pop in. But with works from Renoir, Dalí, Miro and Picasso, even those unfamiliar with Botero will find an experience worth paying for inside this repurposed La Candelaria house (though again, they won’t have to pay). I myself recognized only his “Monalisa” and a few others, and still found myself lost in more than a few of his exaggerated characters, which included many iterations of Escobar. Once again, however, it’s closed on Tuesdays.
Right now, Usaquén is making a good case as the best neighborhood to grab a bite in Bogotá. Two separate locals used the phrase “gastronomic hub” in describing it, and a short walk through its hilly, restaurant-checked streets is enough to see why. La Bodega de Abasto, however, is more than just a great restaurant. Inspired by the organic, farm-fresh food wave, Chef Luz Beatriz Velez offers interested parties the chance to throw on chef hats and prepare their own meal—which is of course her meal that you literally help prepare. It’s a good time, full of Colombian culinary insight, and it ends with a pretty sizeable and delicious feast. Plus, its bright and colorful farmers’-market-styled interior makes it an aesthetic playground inside.
Movich is a big name in Colombian hospitality, and while they may not quite be up to U.S. standards across the board (the Wi-Fi in my room was pretty unreliable), the Movich Chicó 97 made for a very pleasant stay. Rooms were clean and comfortable, and the bed, ever the deal breaker, was a good one. The hotel was moderately sized (95 rooms) but felt even smaller, I think, and I have only great things to stay about the staff (two of whom went to great lengths to map me directions to the post office one morning). The in-house restaurant, too, was pretty solid overall, even peaking at delicious with the possibly seasonal pumpkin soup. Beyond that, I’ll add one more piece of what I think is good information, which is this: The “Movich Boy 97” hotel gets its seemingly strange name from its address. So you know.
2 Comments	On "Accentuating Your Bogotá Experience"
There is some information that may be valuable for those who visit Bogota. There are areas of the city that are safe day and night (somewhat small), other areas that are safe just during the day, and still other areas that are unsafe at any time. Local hotels as well as the visitor services at the airport and at Plaza de Bolivar not only can give you that information but also the exact streets that divide these areas. Monserrate, a hill that overlooks Bogota is a must visit both for some good local food, but also because it has a great view overlooking the city below. There is a cable car and vermicular connecting the mountain, also trail if you want a LOT of exercise getting up. There are also free walking tours in english facilitated by staff of the visitors center that start at Plaza de Bolivar and cover much of La Candelaria.
Thanks for the insight, je. My experience in Bogotá was definitely encouraging from a safety standpoint, but you’re right in saying the locals know best. Yet another reason why traveling with a group may be your best bet.
And I’ve heard the same of Monserrate—wish I’d been able to squeeze it in. Next time for sure.

A magnificently talented actor, entertainer, goodwill ambassador, knight and commander. He will be missed. Here is a tribute to his most iconic role.
Sir Roger George Moore KBE (14 October 1927 – 23 May 2017) was an English actor. He played the British secret agent James Bond in seven feature films between 1973 and 1985. He is also known for playing Simon Templar in the television series The Saint between 1962 and 1969.
Moore took over the role of Bond from Sean Connery in 1972, and made his first appearance as 007 in Live and Let Die (1973). The longest serving Bond to date, Moore portrayed the spy in six more films. Appointed a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador in 1991, Moore was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 2003 for “services to charity”. In 2008, the French government appointed Moore a Commander of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres.
