Summary

• there is no overlap between the information and stories in this book and the Rodale book coming in October; they complement each other • this story as all the elements of The Perfect Storm • the photos in the book were taken during the original voyage, and were provided by the Greenpeace International archive in Washington DC • the events related in this book, that happened in 1971, attracted international attention, including then President Nixon, and actor John Wayne • books about Greenpeace are out there, but this book tells how Greenpeace came into existence • no other book documents the birth of environmental activism • Hunter was the official chronicler of these events, Greenpeace's first voyage • Hunter is a compelling interview: he is knowledgeable, is a natural storyteller, and as he works in media, knows how it works

    Aliens. Ley lines. Water dowsing. Conspiracies and myths captivate imaginations and promise mystery and magic. Whether it's arguing about the moon landing hoax or a Frisbee-like Earth drifting through space, when held up to science and critical thinking, these ideas fall flat.In Weird Earth: Debunking Strange Ideas About Our Planet, Donald R. Prothero demystifies these conspiracies and offers answers to some of humanity's most outlandish questions. Applying his extensive scientific knowledge, Prothero corrects misinformation that con artists and quacks use to hoodwink others about geology—hollow earth, expanding earth, and bizarre earthquakes—and mystical and paranormal happenings—healing crystals, alien landings, and the gates of hell. By deconstructing wild claims such as prophesies of imminent natural disasters, Prothero provides a way for everyone to recognize dubious assertions. Prothero answers these claims with facts, offering historical and scientific context in a lighthearted manner that is accessible to everyone, no matter their background.With a careful layering of evidence in geology, archaeology, and biblical and historical records, Prothero's Weird Earth examines each conspiracy and myth and leaves no question unanswered.

    The advantages of hypnosis therapy are widespread. A lot of individuals report positive changes with hypnosis and it's recognized as a valid type of holistic alternative medicine.  
    Hypnosis is a popular technique utilized for weight loss, overcoming addiction, healing, achieving goals, relaxation and stress relief. It's utilized to get rid of undesired behaviors and beliefs and to manifest new desires and achieve goals in life. 
      
    If you wish to influence your subconscious mind to accept new programming for positive alterations hypnosis is an effective technique for doing that. 
    Among the chief advantages of hypnosis is that when you in a hypnotic state brain wave frequencies decelerate. You center or focus your awareness and you're actually much more aware than usual. A state of centered awareness almost feels as though you're more of an observer of thought and images rather than a part of them. This allows you to bypass the "gatekeepers" at the entrance to the subconscious and superconscious so you are able to access these levels of consciousness directly, and the brain is much more receptive to suggestion. 
    The unconscious, or subconscious may then be reprogrammed so it lets go of old patterns, beliefs and feelings that no longer serve you. They may be replaced with suggestions that are favorable and affirming. The superconscious mind may open you into fresh insights and originative ideas.  
    Put this audio on each night before you go to bed and listen to it right before you fall asleep. If you have time also listen to it first thing upon waking. Do this for at least 21 days consistently so that positive change can take affect in your life.

    The Internet of things is a network of mechanical and digital devices like vehicles, home appliances etc. containing software or sensors and various other devices for network connectivity. This enables the devices to freely connect and exchange data with each other. All these devices are easily identifiable because of their embedded computing system. Internet of things is completely based on the use of modern technologies in our daily errands. Hence, it can be said to be a product of Artificial Intelligence (AI). It can be a sensor in the smart AC which tells the user to turn it off when a suitable temperature is obtained or it can be a microwave which stops the heating when the set time limit is reached-or any other natural or man-made system that can be assigned an IP address and given with the skill to move data over a network without human involvement.

    "I have known, and loved, and studied many cats, but my knowledge of her (Pretty Lady, a cat) alone would convince me that cats love people--in their dignified, reserved way, and when they feel that their love is not wasted; that they reason, and that they seldom act from impulse." 
     
    The thoughts of Helen Winslow, a thoughtful and articulate cat friend, about the cats in her life. (Summary by Karen Merline)
