CHAPTER 5
EXTRAORDINARY BIOLOGY
Kervran's Proof of Biological Transmutation
In orthodox chemistry, one of the strongest dogmas is the stubborn insistence that it is impossible to create another element by chemical reaction.
Most chemists also insist that all reactions occurring in living systems are chemical in nature.
They believe fervently that chemistry can and must explain life itself.
In the early 1960's, a French researcher named Louis Kervran published work which flew directly in the face of the accepted chemistry dogma.
Kervran reported the astounding results of his research showing that living plants were able to accomplish limited transmutation of elements.
Kervran was then the Conferences Director at the University of Paris, and his first paper was published in
La Revue Generale Des Sciences, July 1960.
What was so revolutionary was that, according to the prevailing wisdom of science, you can't transmute elements (permanently change the nucleus) except with enormous energy
- certainly not with the microvolts and millivolts (and microwatts and milliwatts) that living systems can muster electromagnetically.*
Rutherford, the British physicist who discovered the nucleus of the atom, had shown in 1919 that you can bombard elements with alpha particles and transmute them.
The accepted wisdom of today is exactly the same, except that the physicists have used heavier and heavier "bullets" in their artillery approach.
No one has tried a controlled approach, for the catechism is that you have to use the wham it harder! approach.
In other words, to most scientists the whole thing had to be preposterous, and Kervran had to be deluded.
Kervran published further details of his work in a book,
Transmutations Biologiques, Maloine, Paris 1962. But the initial reaction
of most scientists was
*Note, however, that since gravity is infolded EM, one can have extremely powerful infolded EM, yet only have miniscule electrical (outfolded) residues.
Thus the actual "available power" in artificial biopotentials may not be quite so small after all.
was disbelief and
skepticism. Few scientists would stoop to repeating Kervran's
experiments, which of course they knew could not work anyway.
Actually the effect is widespread amongst
living systems. As Kervran pointed out, the ground in Brittany contained
no calcium; however, every day a hen would lay a perfectly normal egg,
with a perfectly normal shell containing calcium. The hens do eagerly
peck mica from the soil, and mica contains potassium - a single step
below calcium in the standard table of elements. It appears that the
hens may transmute some of the potassium to calcium.
Further, if one tests this assumption, it
is quickly shown to be true. Hens denied calcium but not potassium, stay
perfectly healthy and lay perfectly normal eggs. Hens denied both
potassium and calcium will be sickly and lay only soft-shelled eggs.
If
these sick chickens are allowed to peck only mica - which they will
frantically do - everything returns to normal again.
Most orthodox scientists nevertheless
remained skeptical or downright hostile.
However, a few other scientists began to
repeat Kervran's experiments and
Figure 72. The Kervan
effect. A biosystem can accomplish limited transmutation of
elements
replicate his results. Several of these
corroborating scientists were (1) Professor Hisatoki Komaki, Chief of
the Laboratory of Applied Microbiology at a leading Japanese university,
(2) Professor Pierre Baranger, Head of the Laboratory of Chemi-
cal Biology of the Ecole Polytechnique in Paris, and (3) J.E. Zundel,
then head of a paper company with a chemical analysis laboratory, and
later a chemical engineer of the Polytechicum School of Zurich,
Switzerland.
Later work by Zundel was particularly
decisive: he utilized the mass spectrometer at the Microanalysis
Laboratory of the French National Scientific Research Center, and
neutron activation mass analysis at the Swiss Institute for Nuclear
Research in Villigen to positively confirm an increase in calcium of 61%
to an accuracy of 2%. Such results and instrumentation, of course,
removed any doubt that the effect could be due to statistical
variation. In the same experiments, the plants increased their
phosphorus 29% and their sulphur 36%.
Komaki became head of a research
laboratory at Matsushita Electric Company. There he conducted research
conclusively proving that microorganisms (including some bacteria and
two kinds each of molds and yeast) could transmute sodium into
potassium. In fact, he placed a brewer's yeast product on the
market that, when applied to composts, increases their potassium
content.
Extensive work in the area has been done
in the Soviet Union, where results similar to Kervran's have been
substantiated.
Thus all doubt (to an open-minded
scientist) was removed: living systems are able to change one
element into another by some unknown means, using very feeble energy.
A noted French physicist, O Costa De
Beauregard, suggested a mechanism for the transmutations, using weak
force interactions and advanced waves.
No one - even Kervran himself - thought of
negative energy/ negative time interactions. The jury is still out
on the actual mechanism, but it is absolutely clear that the
transmutation does indeed occur .
The Japanese researchers, having
replicated Kervran's astounding results to their complete satisfaction,
recommended him to the Nobel Committee for a Nobel Prize for such
epochal work. Thus Kervran became a Nobel nominee, though he was
not granted the prize.
Kervran has since passed away, leaving
behind his books and papers that point to a revolution in chemistry and
physics - transmutation of elements at very weak energy.
Biological
Transmutation Has a History
Actually biological transmutation
- and transmutation of elements (alchemy) in general - has a history, of
both results and suppression.
Louis Nicolas Vauquelin, a celebrated
French chemist, discovered that chickens could produce more calcium in
their eggshells than entered their bodies. Hence they had to be
able to "create" the calcium, else their own bodies would have
been completely depleted.
One of his contemporaries, however -
Antoine Laurent Lavoisier - became the "father of chemistry
." Lavoisier laid down the dictum that nothing was
created. So chemistry fixed upon the notion that the combinations
of elements could be shifted, but the element itself could not be
transformed.
Not until the discovery of radioactivity
did any crack in this solid wall appear. But still, the basic
ideas of chemistry said the element couldn't be transformed
chemically. It could only be transformed if one blasted the
daylights out of it with an atomic or particle bullet.
Today most chemists still hold that exact
same opinion, unshaken.
To resume: Over a century ago, a chemist
named Albrecht von Herzeele proved that germinating seeds somehow
transmuted elements in the process. In 1873 von Herzeele
published a book, The Origin of Inorganic Substances, where he
showed research proving that plants continuously create material
elements.
Even earlier, in 1822 an Englishman named
William Prout had studied chicken eggs in incubation. He found
that hatched chicks had more lime (calcium) in their bodies than was
originally present in the egg!
Another French scientist named Henri
Spindler discovered that a kind of algae called Laminaria could create
iodine.
A German researcher named Vogel had
planted cress seeds in a bell jar.
Lawes and Gilbert, two British
researchers, also found that plants could "extract" more
elements from the soil than the soil actually contained in the first
place.
Baranger performed thousands of meticulous
experiments in plant transmutation of elements. He proved that the
transmutations do occur. He also discovered that many things
affected the germinating seed transmutation process: the time the seeds
germi-
nate, the type of light they are exposed to, the phase of the moon, etc.
None of these experimenters understood the
transmutation process used by the living organism. But they proved
beyond question that the process existed, and universally occurred.
Surplus-of-Energy
Mechanisms Proposed by the U.S. Army
There has also been other very positive
support for the thesis that if living systems transmute elements, they
can produce a net source of energy in the process.
In 1978 an officially-funded effort of the
U .S. Army Mobility Equipment Research and Development Command, Fort
Belvoir, Virginia positively confirmed that mechanisms for elemental
transmutations could occur in biological systems, from an energy
consideration.
The work was performed under the direction
of Emil J. York, Chief of the Material Technology Laboratory.
Solomon Goldfein was the principal investigator for the effort. Robert
C. McMillan, Chief of the Radiation Research Group of the laboratory,
provided guidance on matters of physics and nuclear physics.
The abstract of the final report (S.
Goldfein, Report 2247, Energy Development from Elemental
Transmutations in Biological Systems, U .S. Army Mobility Equipment
Research and Development Command, May 1978. DDC No. AD AO56906.) reads
as follows:
"The
purpose of the study was to determine whether recent disclosures of
elemental transmutations occurring in biological entities have revealed
new possible sources of energy. The works of Kervran, Komaki, and
others were surveyed, and it was concluded that, granted the existence
of such transmutations (Na to Mg, K to Ca, and Mn to Fe), then a net
surplus of energy was also produced. A proposed mechanism was
described in which Mg adenosine triphosphate, located in the
mitochondrion of the cell, played a double role as an energy
producer. In addition to the widely accepted biochemical role of
MgATP in which it produces energy as it disintegrates part by part,
MgATP can also be considered to be a cyclotron on a molecular
scale. The MgATP when placed in layers one atop the other has all
the attributes of a cyclotron in accordance with the requirements set
forth by E.O. Lawrence, inventor of the cyclotron. "
"It was concluded that elemental
transmutations were indeed occurring in life organisms and were probably
accompanied by a net energy gain."
The
researchers also concluded that elemental transmutations occurring in
life organisms are accompanied by losses in mass representing conversion
to thermal energy, and that such energy probably is a net gain when
compared to the amount required to effect the transmutation.
All in all, they concluded that the little
cell with its feeble energy does quite well! It's in control of
cyclotrons, and cyclotron forces, and direct conversion of mass to
energy. Pretty good for a little bitty beastie, wouldn't you say?
Actually, one should point out that,
according to nuclear physics, an atom gets a little heavier when it
absorbs {usually by means of an orbital electron) a normal
"positive energy" photon. That is, the addition of
positive energy results in the addition of a little bit of
"positive mass."
Negative energy, of course, does a similar
thing to the nucleus - except that it adds "negative
mass." Thus the nucleus of the atom, when it absorbs negative
energy, gets lighter. This is seen in the external world as
"loss of mass."
With our present nuclear physics, only
positive energy is assumed except in extremely rare cases.
Thus the Army study - which was conducted
and controlled by some excellent scientists - worked out a "loss of
mass" the way they're trained to.
By adding some positive energy, the
nucleus would gain some positive mass. By adding some negative
energy, the nucleus would lose some corresponding positive mass.
The conventional physics then would equate this "loss of mass"
as the direct conversion of mass to energy. And so it is, only
it's conversion to negative energy!
However, by pointing out the cyclotron
mechanism in the cell MgATP, the Army researchers have made a most
important contribution.
Note also that the whirling motion may be
very much related to Viktor Schauberger's work and to Wilhelm Reich's
work. Both of them worked with what they viewed as an unusual kind
of living, spiraling energy .
All the orbital electrons of an atom also
are whirling around in orbit, in the simplest model. Further,
these orbits themselves move and rotate or precess.
Similar orbits and shells occur in the
nucleus, at least in some models (several rather independent models are
used there for specific things.)
It may be that a whirling, spiraling
(cyclotron) energy motion is necessary to connect positive energy to
orbital electron (negative charge) shells, and to connect negative
energy to positive charge shells in the atomic nucleus.*
Alchemy and
Unusual Critters
In ancient times, the old alchemists
pursued the dream of making gold. Obviously, if one could do that
economically, one could become quite wealthy.
Just as obviously, the kings and rulers of
the world took rather a dim view of such proceedings. After all,
much of their own power rested on their ability to get and control
gold. And if some "loose cannon" could make all the gold
anyone wanted, then the national treasury of the king wouldn't be worth
a plugged nickel. And that would finish the king, for he would be
powerless.
* The spinning/whirling motion may
be viewed as integrating the unzipped vacuum flux virtual vectors into
zipped observable force vectors - just as great grandma's spinning wheel
integrated fibers into continuous threads.
There
are some unorthodox researchers today who take the view that the
alchemists were stamped out - not because they failed, but because they
succeeded.
I subscribe to the same view.
T .H.
Moray had a process to "recover finely divided gold from
quartzite sands." My personal, strong belief is that he possessed a
practical transmutation process. His knowledge and techniques, of
course, are still possessed by his sons, and reside through them in Cosray
Research Institute, Salt Lake City, Utah.
The possession of such a technical
secret may be one of the major reasons why the Morays have met with such
intrigue, harassment, and suppression over the years.
To speak further on "making gold,"
we first have to present some details on some special "critters"
that live, but that can't be observed through a normal microscope - even
an electron microscope.
In that vein, toward the end of this
chapter, we will present some of Royal R. Rife's fundamental discoveries.
Pay particular attention to his discovery of "finer" living
forms - which today we could only refer to as "living energy,
virtual-state forms."
Let's call them critters for short.
At one time, when the earth was young and
the radiation from the sun was different, conditions on earth were much
hotter. Great volcanic activity and fiery eruptions were commonplace
and nearly continuous. Huge storms, of size and magnitude undreamed
of today, swept the primitive atmosphere. The oceans were frenzied.
Under those conditions, many types of
"critters" were highly active. Most of the critters, for
example, lived in and worked on the atomic nuclei of matter.
After all, the critters are living,
virtual-state organisms. There's a continual exchange between the
virtual state (the vacuum, or spacetime) and mass (the observable state).
An atomic nucleus is like an island in the "virtual state
ocean", and the flux interchange is like waves breaking onto the
island and then washing back to sea. The critters live in that
ocean, and wash upon, so-to-speak, the mass-islands and interact with
them.
In those primal days, many of the present
great mineral deposits of the earth were created due to the transmutation
activities of the critters.
One kind, for example, lived in copper.
In an "energetics" sense, this critter "ate" copper
and "excreted" gold, so-to-speak. Much of the gold that
occurs in great copper deposits today was formed this way in the old days
under primal conditions.
When conditions on earth changed, these
little "copper critters" ceased their incessant activity and
became dormant, just as viruses can do. But the critters are still
there in the copper ore, waiting to be activated.
Arid activate them you can! You can
even get the critters into a solution, and then crystallize them out as
crystals.
These crystals are what the alchemists of
old called the philosopher's stone, with the power to transmute
base elements into gold. There are several kinds of philosopher's
stones; this kind is for copper.
At any rate, you can then place these
special crystals on some copper (and add another thing or two), and
restore them to a similar primal environment as of old. That is,
heat them in an electric furnace. Blast them with terrible
electrical bolts. Bathe them in intense ultraviolet light.
That's just a nice, refreshing spring day for the critters!*
That stimulates them and revives them.
They wake up after a long sleep - and they're immediately "hungry
." So they go right to work on the copper. Boom! In
a little bit there isn't any more copper, just mostly gold, with a little
other miscellaneous residue thrown in, such as black ruby and silver (in
the experiments of one of my close colleagues).
The gold is radioactive when first made.
Fortunately, all isotopes of gold are very short-lived: just minutes
suffice for the radioactivity to die away. So you wait half an hour
and everything's okay.
That's all there is to it.
Arid if you do that and try to capitalize
upon it, your life expectancy is about 24 hours.
I don't know whether or not biological
systems, in their Kervran-transmutations at weak energy, deliberately
manipulate similar "critters". I suspect, however, that
they do, at least to some extent.
* Note the probable similar effects
involved in the Miller-Fox-Urey experiments in
biogenesis.
The Cell Also Lives and Functions in the Virtual State
Obviously, to transmute elements the living system has to be able to directly affect and influence the atomic nucleus.
It has been shown that this is a cellular capability, for single-celled organisms can do it.
As we shall see, Rife's work showed that the living cell is connected to at least 16 internested deeper levels of reality than a relative "point" under an ordinary microscope. Further, all levels are structured and organized.
Think of it! Each one of those levels is to the preceding level as microscopy today is to the normal world.
Sixteen levels!
I think it's reasonable to state that the life of the cell is patterned and dynamically structured and functioning all the way into the virtual state; indeed, to very deep internested levels of the virtual state.
That is, it also functions hyperspatially.
We shall also see that the mind and thought involve these more subtle physical (though virtual) levels.
Thus the living virtual-state levels are a reality, for Rife proved it.
The living organized structures at each level are a reality, for Rife proved it.
The living ordering and control of dynamic functions on all those levels is a reality, for Rife proved it.
Those living virtual-level parts of the living organism
- plant or animal - thus affect, function in, and reside in the atomic nuclei of the material that composes its bodily structures.
Beasties like bacteria and viruses also have living, organized energy structures in multiple levels of virtual state.
Apparently, for these more primitive life forms, the virtual-state "energy part" can be separated and pass through a filter, then re-engender the
physical form and/or itself cause the disease in a host! At least that is what Rife and other scientists showed.
"Bigger fleas have smaller fleas to bite 'em, And so on, ad infinitum. "
Of course the living system can "work on" the nucleus
and change it a little bit! If it couldn't do so, it couldn't stay alive
and function in there in the first place!
The Kaznacheyev Experiments
Dr. Vlail Kaznacheyev is Director of the
Institute for Clinical and Experimental Medicine in Novosibirsk.
For 20 years he has been directing highly unusual
experiments with twin cell cultures. These experiments are vital to
understanding disease and healing on a more fundamental basis than is presently
utilized by orthodox medical science.
The Kaznacheyev experiments (several thousand) in
the Soviet Union proved conclusively that any cellular disease or death pattern
can be transmitted electromagnetically, and induced in target cells absorbing
the radiation.
In the experiments, two sealed containers were
placed side by side, with a thin optical window separating them. The two
containers were completely environmentally shielded except for the optical
coupling.
A tissue was separated into two identical samples,
and one sample placed in each of the two halves of the apparatus.
The cells in one sample (on one side of the glass)
were then subjected to a deleterious agent - a selected virus, bacterial
infection, chemical poison, nuclear radiation, deadly ultraviolet radiation,
etc. This led to disease and death of the exposed/infected cell culture
sample.
If the thin optical window was made of ordinary
window glass, the uninfected cells on the other side of the window were
undamaged and remained healthy. This of course was as expected in the
orthodox medical view.
However, if the thin optical window was made of
quartz, a most unexpected thing happened. Some time (usually about 12
hours) after the disease appeared in the infected sample, the same features of
disease appeared in the uninfected sample.
This startling "infection by optical coupling"
occurred in a substantial percentage of the tests (70 to 80 percent). From
an orthodox medical view, these results were unexpected and unheard of.
Further, if the originally uninfected cells were
in optical contact with the infected
cells for 18-20
hours or so, and then were correspondingly exposed (optically coupled) to
another uninfected cell sample, symptoms of the infection appeared in this
third sample an appreciable portion of the time (20 to 30 percent).
Guided by A.G. Gurvitsch's work that showed
that cells give off mitogenetic radiation (photons) that can affect other
cells, the Kaznacheyev team sought an answer by looking for photons given
off by the infected culture sample as its cells died.
They found that the cells in the infected
culture gave off photons in the near ultraviolet when they died. The
normal window glass was opaque to these near-UV photons and absorbed
them. In that case, the uninfected culture on the other side of the
glass was not exposed to radiation by the UV "death" photons
from the dying cells, and they remained serenely healthy.
However, the quartz window was transparent
to the UV "death photons". When the quartz window was
installed, the UV "death photons" passed through it and were
absorbed in the uninfected culture on the other side of the window.
Most of the time, the uninfected culture which absorbed "death
photons" sickened and died with the same disease symptoms.
The Kaznacheyev experiments proved
conclusively that cellular death and disease patterns can be transmitted
and induced electromagnetically.*
*We point out that this effect has been investigated in both the infrared
and ultraviolet. IR to UV may be taken as a single harmonic
interval - an octave, musically speaking. The same effect can be
reproduced in any other "octave" (single harmonic interval) of
the electromagnetic frequency spectrum. The reversal of the effect
can also be achieved in any harmonic interval. The mechanism for
these effects involves the cellular biopotential, Popp's master cellular
control system, and the deterministically-tailored substructure of
photons.
Structuring
and Charging a Biopotential
Kaznacheyev
thus demonstrated that a photon information/ regulatory system exists in
biological systems due to a continual influx of EM energy from outside the
system. That is, the cells of the biosystem are charged with an
electromagnetic potential, and additions and changes to the potential are
continually received. The cell is thus in minute disequilibrium.
Usually the
myriad of continual inputs from the external environment into the cell's
potential charge pattern (in its atomic nuclei) may be taken to be
potential changes whose substructures are disordered. In that
case, no specific environmental effect is observed except slight
fluctuations without order - a miniscule form of "heating."
However, if a
continual ordered substructure exists in the input from the
external environment into the cell's potential, the cell's potential will
gradually "charge up" with that pattern.
An analogy
will prove helpful. Imagine an accumulator, a large pot, that holds
a volume of water. Several pipes are connected to the pot, some are
inputs for water coming in, and some are outputs for water flowing in.
Imagine
the inputs all containing "blue" water, just in slightly varying
shades. The water in the pot is blue, and may slightly rise and fall
in level as the input flow rates vary. The water in the pot may also vary
slightly in its blueness as the inputs vary. However, it will still
be blue.
Now
suppose that yellow water starts flowing through one of the input pipes,
and at a goodly rate. Slowly the water in the pot will start to turn
greenish as a greater percentage of yellow builds up. In other
words, the pot slowly charges up with some of the "yellow"
charge, in the process acquiring a "green" charge.
The biopotential in the cell
experiments works the same way.
A cell has a biopotential built up,
which represents the "nominal equilibrium" of the scalar charge
on the cell. This biopotential, being mostly a "sum-zero"
of virtual state vectors, is centered in and on the atomic nuclei of the
cell, constituting charge patterns in these atomic nuclei. The
biopotential extends out of the atomic nuclei, through the electron
shells, into and through the molecules, through the internal cell
structures and membrane, and outside the cell.
From the atomic nucleus on out through
the cell, every layered structure or organization of the cell will layer,
structure, and.organize the biopotential accordingly.
This organized, structured cellular
biopotential is continually receiving "charge patterns"
contained in incoming photons absorbed by the cell. The biopotential
is also continually exhausting some of its biopotential charge pattern in
the photons (heat, light, etc.) that the cell emits. The
Cell's Electromagnetic Breathing
Via structured photon exchange,
the biopotential of the living cell thus "breathes in" the
virtual state charge structure of its environment, and "breathes
out" its own internal virtual state charge structure.
So, in the experiment, the uninfected
cells are continually absorbing photons from their surrounding
environment, and emitting photons back to it as well. According to
our scalar EM view, each photon it absorbs has a substructure that depends
upon the part of the environment from whence it came.
These "substructures" are
actually patterns of the sum-zeroed virtual vectors comprising the
potential of the absorbed photon carriers.
Normally, since a large number of very
different substructures are continually being "input" into the
cell's potential from the absorbed photons, the substructure of the cell's
potential receives an essentially disorganized continual input from the
environment. This equates to the fact that the environment does not
normally specifically influence or change the cell's potential with
ordered information (organization).*
*There may be sufficient ordered input from
the environment, however, to have something to do with territoriality in
living things, salmon returning to a fixed place to spawn, turtles
returning to the same beach to lay eggs, the migration of birds, etc.
When a cell
dies, it ceases to maintain the bio-dynamics that sustained its artificial
potential (that part due to bio-ordering by its organized life processes,
above the background level of its "inert matter"
potential). The dead cell's built-up artificial potential then
"discharges" by emitting a structured photon.**
Since this photon (energy) comes from an organized
potential drop, the virtual substructure of the emitted photon is
organized. The photon, then - among other things -
carries the exact organized virtual charge pattern of the dying cell's
disease.
We strongly insist on the quantum mechanical
view here: All physical changes - chemical, material, mechanical,
whatever -at root level are constituted and caused by virtual state
interactions, in direct patterns of virtual particle exchanges.
In the full QM view, what's really going on
in primary physical reality is just a complex set of patterns and changes
in potentials anyway. The
Summed Virtual Structures of Kaznacheyev's
"Death Photons" Physically Kindle the
Disease
At any rate, the Kaznacheyev experiments
showed that the dying cells from the infected culture emitted photons in
the near UV that contained artificial (structured) potentials. The
virtual-state, patterned-substructures in this photon flux directly
represented the cellular disease pattern caused by the original cell's
specific infection.
In other words, as the infected cells died,
they emitted "death photons" which contained the template
pattern of their death condition.
When these "death photons" are
absorbed into uninfected cells, their deterministic substructures
gradually diffuse into the cell's bio-potentials. Gradually the
biopotentials of the new cells are "charged up" with the integrated pattern of the disease.
**Note that this photon is emitted from an
atomic nucleus. Hence it is a phase conjugate (time-reversed)
photon. It will interact with the biopotential of targeted cells,
and thus reach their own atomic nuclei. This is the mechanism for Kaznacheyev's
cytopathogenic effect.

Popp,
"Photon Storage in Biological Systems,"
Electromagnetic
Bio-Information,1979
The master cellular control system of the
biosystem is itself a dynamically changing, ordered pattern in the
biopotential of the cells, which is centered in the atomic nuclei
comprising the cell materials. As the bio-potentials of the cells
gradually acquire the "death photon's" substructure pattern,
this pattern is also diffused throughout (modulates) the master
cellular control system. All the cells in the sample (or in a
biosystem) are now slowly charging up with the "death
photon" pattern.
As Popp discovered, photons continually
"leak out" of the virtual photon master control system of
the biosystem. Some of these leakage photons are observable
photons, but most are virtual photons.
Further, they are structured photons.
In other words, as leakage photons spill
out of the master control system, observable change is now being
slowly initiated in the physical structures, biochemistry, etc. of
the biosystem's cells - and these changes are in consonance with the
integrated "cellular death pattern" of the originally
infected cells.
Note particularly that it is already
well-known in quantum mechanics/electrodynamics that, when a photon
is emitted from the surface of a dielectric body, the entire
dielectric body participates in that emission. If a photon is absorbed
on the surface of the dielectric body, the entire
dielectric body participates in that
absorption.
Thus as irradiation by the "death
photons" continues, the "death structure" in the
irradiated cells increases. It is spread throughout the cell
culture by the master communication system, gradually charging the
virtual state structure of that system with the death pattern.
Spillage photons from the cellular control
system occur throughout the culture. These photons are structured
with the death pattern, and gradually affect the cell and its
biochemistry physically. The previously uninfected cells thus
physically start to acquire and exhibit the symptoms and characteristics
of the disease pattern that killed the infected cells.
Electromagnetic Infection Results
in Physical Disease
The new cells are now
electromagnetically infected and physically diseased.
After all, that is all a cellular disease
is in the first place - physical, electrical, and biochemical changes in
the normal functioning of the cell.
For a given pattern of changes in the
cells, a specific "disease" exists in them.
It absolutely does not matter what causes
this exact pattern. If the specific physical pattern is there, the
specific disease is there.
Note that any ghost pattern in the virtual
state flux can charge up physical matter - that is, the atomic nuclei of
a mass. All that is necessary is that a continual flux of this
virtual pattern continually bathe (irradiate) the mass's atomic nuclei.
The eventual emergence of this "ghost
template pattern" into observable physical reality is called
kindling. Kindling is charging up one or more atomic nuclei with
an integrated virtual charge pattern until the integrated pattern
breaches the quantum threshold, resulting in emergence of that pattern
into observable physical change.
A Possible Cure for AIDS
One of the things going for the
"good guys" and EM defense against AIDS is that cells are a
lot tougher than viruses. Thus even non-structured EM signals can be
used to effect cures in many disease cases.
In fact, ordinary ultraviolet (UV)
irradiation of the blood has already been utilized to cure or control
severe infections, including severe viral infections. I am indebted to
Dr. William C. Douglass for pointing this out to me, and for permission
to reproduce the following information from his important newsletter,
The Cutting Edge, Nov. 1987, p. 3. The following material is quoted
verbatim, with no editing.
"It's amazing what you can find by
nosing around in the dusty archives of a good medical library. I came
across another remarkable therapy that the AMA and drug industry (or
whoever is in charge of suppressing non-toxic treatments that work) have
shoved down the memory hole."
"Back in 1933, Doctors Hancock and
Knott treated a patient dying of septicemia (blood poisoning) with
ultraviolet irradiation of the blood. l
The patient was moribund with a blood stream infection and obviously
near death. (Remember that this was before antibiotics and there was
nothing to lose.) The patient made a complete and uneventful recovery
."
"Searching further, I found that in
1928 a similar terminal infection was treated by ultraviolet light to
the blood. This patient also made a complete recovery.2 "
"So in 1928, practically in the
middle ages, an incurable disease, blood stream infection, was cured
with ultraviolet light. With such a breakthrough why wasn't it tried
again for 5 years? According to the record, another 6 years
passed before it was tried for a third time.3"
"Back in those days infection was the
number one cause of death. You can't help but wonder how many lives
could have been saved if doctors weren't so resistant to new ideas.
Just
imagine a cure for AIDS being set aside for 11 years. Yet bacterial
infections of the blood were uniformly fatal in 1935, just like AIDS is
today."

"Finally,
in 1940, 110 cases treated with ultraviolet spectral energy were reported.
The results were uniformly good. Between 1940 and 1948 many other
conditions were successfully treated, including vein inflammation
(phlebitis), polio and asthma. Up to the late 40's over 40 thousand
treatments were given with ultraviolet blood irradiation."
"And now for the most interesting part.
In 1947, Dr. G .P. Miley reported on 79 cases of virus infection.4
Miley
stated that ultraviolet blood irradiation therapy could be relied upon
consistently to control an infection of a virus in a safe and efficient
manner.5"
"AIDS is a virus. AIDS-II is a virus
(the HTLV-IV leukemia and lymphoma now sweeping the world). Remember that these killer viruses are within the cell and any chemical
agent that enters the cell to kill the virus will often kill the cell as
well. But ultraviolet irradiation kills the virus without harming the
cell."
" A fine piece of crystal can be
shattered by exposing it to just the right frequency. You can be standing
in the room and the energy from that frequency won't harm you in the
least. Viruses have the same characteristics, and so, in my opinion,
frequency irradiation of the blood in the ultraviolet range is our
greatest hope for curing AIDS."
"But the treatment is simple, safe,
inexpensive and unpatentable. That doesn't bode well for its future, at least until a few senators
get AIDS."

The Mirror Cytopathogenic Effect and
Factors Influencing It
The cellular disease induction effect
was called the mirror cytopathogenic effect (CPE for short) by the
Kaznacheyev group. Mirror CPE appeared only when the quartz or mica window
was no thicker than 0.8 mm. A. F. Kirkin also duplicated the experiments
using a thin plexiglas window.
There are conditions which enhance the
effect, and others which inhibit or degrade it. Irradiation of the
detector-culture with a low dose of UV prior to its optical contact
enhances the effect, increasing
it to certainty (99-100% ). Increasing the temperature to 38.5
degrees centigrade also enhances the effect (from 37% to 90% for
example).*
*This is very important.
Preconditioning the cells by "dithering" them in the frequency
band of interest, or in a subharmonic band, "livens" the cells
for developing the irradiated pattern. This is similar to a dither
voltage placed on a missile fin, making it much easier and quicker for the
fin to move when an actual order is placed on it.
A necessary condition for the success of the
experiment is the rotation of the holder with its two optically-coupled
samples at a rate of about 24-25 revolutions per hour. Optical
contact between the inductor and detector cells for a minimum of 4-6 hours
is necessary, after which the cell cultures can be separated. A
longer contact time is necessary for complete development of the
irreversible effect.
Both cultures must be maintained in complete
darkness throughout the experiment. Use of the detector as a new
inductor in a successive state reduces the effect by 20-30%. Three
or four such stages is sufficient to eliminate the effect.
There is a seasonal variation in the
results. In more than 15,000 experiments, monthly variations and
daily variations were noted. (The present author's interpretation of
this is that it is due to the monthly variations in the virtual photon
substructure input from the moon to the substructure of the cell's
bio-potential. The daily variation is due to the daily variations in
the virtual photon substructure input from the sun to the substructure of
the cell's bio-potential.)
Negative results appear more often in
winter. (The present author's interpretation of this is that it is
due to the fact that the scalar potentials of the earth and the
biopotentials of each living cell on earth are lowered in winter by the
weaker flux from the sun.)
Effects are correlated with the polarity of
the interplanetary magnetic field. Negative polarity of the field
usually precedes the appearance of mirror CPE. (This is because of
the positive nuclei - which prefer one direction of the magnetic field
over another). Disturbance of the geomagnetic field several days
before a culture planting also results in enhancing the mirror CPE
effect. (Disturbing the geomagnetic field provides a "dithering
magnetic disturbance" in the atomic nuclei which "livens"
them. Consequently their readiness to charge-up and emit structured
virtual state charges is increased).
Kaznacheyev further discovered that
the Sun's activity and the Earth's magnetic field greatly affected the
results of his experiments. Large flashes on the sun seem to inhibit
the effect. (Such flashes cause substantially increased irradiation
of the atomic nuclei by sun-emitted substructures, charging them mostly
with this disordered substructure pattern and literally
"burying" the disease structure several decibels below
it.) In a season of active sunspots, the mirror CPE effect becomes
highly unstable. (The sun emissions are sporadically jamming the
effect.) Under active sun conditions, the effect varies from 90-100%
on some days to complete absence on others.
Some Biological Warfare Implications
The Soviets reported detecting
near-ultraviolet photons - bio- luminescence - as carriers of the
death/disease pattern.
However, scientists at the University of
Marburg in West Germany also duplicated the effect in the infrared.
This shows that bioluminescent photons in the near UV and in the IR can
definitely carry "disease and death" information between
cells. Further, integrating a continuing input of such photons
coherently integrates the disease or death pattern from the virtual state
into the observable state.
Note also that portions of the infrared
spectrum are a subharmonic of the near ultraviolet. Harmonics are
well-known in nonlinear oscillator theory, and biological systems are
filled with nonlinear oscillators. It may be that harmonics and
subharmonics are directly involved in the death pattern.
If so, the induction of such "death
patterns" upon normal electromagnetic carriers is directly
indicated. For example, modulations covering several octaves in the
region of 10 gigahertz and above might be constructed that are the
analogues of some particular cellular disease. This modulation
pattern could then be added to a common microwave carrier - say in the
communication band, from 3 to 30 megahertz. Say, that is, to
something like the giant Soviet Woodpecker "over-the-horizon
radar" signals as carriers.
In that case, a large population could be
bombarded, even on the other side of the earth, with "death
photons" whose virtual state substructures carry the particular
disease pattern. With sufficient time, many of
the targeted persons would develop the disease.
Note that, even if the power and/or
irradiation time is reduced so that the absorbed "death photons"
are insufficient to actually kindle the disease in the targeted
population, a heightened change in the substructure of the biopotentials
of the cells of the targeted persons is still accomplished.
In that case, a precursor pattern - a
predisposition for that disease - exists in the targeted persons.
If the actual disease agent is now loosed
on that population, the agent will be far more infectious and lethal than
it otherwise would.
In this way, even diseases which normally do
not kill or seriously debilitate the infected person can suddenly become
very lethal agents indeed.
Influenza, the common cold, etc. can
become devastating killers if the exposed population has been
electromagnetically "pre-conditioned" for enhanced
susceptibility.
What
Kaznacheyev Hid: The Role of Phase Conjugation
If cellular disease can be
electromagnetically induced, can it not be electromagnetically corrected
or healed?
If one could time-reverse the exact signal
structure (the information) that kindled the effect, and bombard the
diseased cells with that reversed pattern, would not the cell deviate back
to "normal" and be healed?
The burning question as to whether cellular
disease conditions can be corrected by time-reversed disease signals must
certainly have occurred to the Soviet experimenters.
It is highly significant that they did
not openly publish those results.*
As we have explained in the sections on
phase conjugation and scalar electromagnetics, there are really two major
kinds of photons:
* Recent information indicates the
strong connection of Kaznacheyev with the Institute of Physiology and
Biophysics and the Frank Institute in Pushkino, just outside
Moscow. Since these institutes are deeply involved in
microwave and coherent microwave "directed energy" weapons, it
is highly probable that the Soviets are applying Kaznacheyev's "death
photons" to microwave weapons -- such as the Woodpecker
transmitters. If so, obviously they would develop phase
conjugate countermeasure signals as well.
(1) the "normal" photon carries
positive energy and positive time. (2) the "time reversed"
or phase conjugate photon carries negative energy and negative time.
Further, the Soviets certainly knew all
about phase conjugate signals. After all, they discovered and
developed the effect. We discovered it only from the open Soviet
scientific literature!
Let us assume that the "death
photons" in the mitogenetic radiation emitted by the dying cells are
ordinary photons. Their virtual state structures (in positive
observer time) are exact "templates" for the disease pattern.
Now suppose we detect the "death
photons" with a phase conjugator, which by definition will produce a
time-reversed counterpart to the input signal detected. In other
words, the death photons are allowed to strike a phase conjugate mirror
(PCM). Time-reversed counterpart photons - carrying the exact
time-reversed template of the death pattern - will be created and emitted
by the PCM.
These newly emitted photons now carry the
exact "healing pattern" for that specific "death/disease
pattern that was received and detected."
Further, if we "pump" the phase
conjugate mirror, we can greatly amplify the output pattern, and hence
greatly increase the healing pattern!
If one records the pattern of the
"death photons" for a specific disease, one could of course
modulate that pattern upon ordinary photons/signals - such as the
Woodpecker signals - and accomplish disease induction or precursor
conditioning.
By phase conjugating the pattern of the
"death photons," one can produce an exact antidote. One
can modulate this specific healing pattern upon ordinary photons/signals -
such as the Woodpecker signals - and accomplish healing induction for that
specific disease.
In other words, one can create the
healing pattern - the antidote, if you will, for any biological warfare
agent. Cancer, leukemia, AIDS, viral diseases, bacterial diseases,
whatever. One can create the antidote within minutes after the first
symptoms of the disease or death pattern appear.
One can then simply add the negating
(healing) signal to power line signals, television and radio signals,
special transmitters, etc. - and immediately start
to "administer the antidote" to the irradiated population one
wishes to protect. Now one can see why the Soviets are so ready
to expose the entire world to something like AIDS. It doesn't
represent a real problem to them, the instant they decide to negate it.
So they can devastate the rest of the
world, with the assurance that their population is safe.
They can allow some of their own people to
develop AIDS - and even some to die of it - as a deception plan to delude
the West while Western populations are succumbing en masse.
Then they can snatch their own population
right back to health, from "the brink of the grave," so to
speak.
Our government must immediately develop the
same capability. It is straightforward. As weapons and
counterweapons go, it is enormously cheap. It can be immediately and
widely implemented. And it can protect our population against AIDS
or any other biological warfare strike by the Soviet Union.

First let us
do that. Then let us negotiate.
Remember
this: You can negotiate with the Russians only from a position of
strength. If you are weak, they will bury you.
If we do not immediately develop this
biological warfare counter- measure, we are already as good as dead.
Popp's
Master Cellular Communication System
Dr. Fritz Albert Popp has already
discovered and pointed out the "virtual state" master
communication system that controls all cells in the body, and all their
functions.
Based on a thesis derived to best fit
experimental results by Ruth and others, Popp postulates that biological
systems generally have the capacity to store coherent photons that come
from the external world.
In other words, the biosystem is open to
environmental communication and exchange.
He has shown
that the cell population is in a quasistationary state that is far away
from thermodynamic equilibrium, as pointed out by Ilya Prigogine.
Popp also concludes from his analysis that
ultraweak photon emission within biological systems can influence chemical
reactivity. In fact, his analysis strongly implies that "ultraweak"
photon intensity can regulate the whole cell metabolism and related
phenomena.
The cell takes up photons from external
radiation. This includes both "observable" photons and
"virtual" photons. Since it stores virtual photons, it
stores charge, or biopotential changes. Since its stored virtual
photons may be coherent virtual photons, it effectively
"polarizes" or structures its stored photon charge, hence its
biopotential.
The cell emits "spillage" photons
- both coherent and incoherent - from its stored potential.
Although Popp only uses conventional
"unstructured" photons in his analysis, he shows that, at the
molecular level, there is a stationary equilibrium, as far as photon
storage and emission are concerned, between the molecular photon traps,
the cell population, and the external world.
It follows that coherent photon/charge
inception from the external world can directly and precisely influence the
cell's biopotential, hence its functioning and control, by information
input.
Incoherent photon inception, on the
other hand, can only grossly affect the cell, such as by heating or
sporadic effects.
In his "Photon Storage in Biological
Systems," Popp points out the master cellular communication and
control system as follows:
"The photons which we have measured
can be seen as a sort of "waste" from a virtual electromagnetic
field with a high coherence. This field has a tendency to become
stationary over the whole organism."
After additional analysis, he adds:
" Consequently, biological systems
must exhibit 'holographic' properties to an extremely high degree.
The successful trials in
finding 'pictures' of various organs in
each other organ, such as the ear, the hands, the eyes (acupuncture, iris
diagnosis) support these conclusions. Our assumption that the entire
genetic information of the DNA is stationarily delocalized over the body
in form of genons may be seen as a further striking example. "
"From this we can easily deduce that
pattern recognition, as, for example, repair mechanisms and immunity,
depends finally on the coherence of the photon field within the
body."
Finally,
Popp states a most important conclusion:
"...In medicine new aspects have
developed, and not only for cancer problems. Diseases in general can
possibly be understood in terms of electromagnetic interactions within the
organism."
Scalar
EM Comment on Popp's Communication System
Popp and his colleagues have produced
most important work and results indeed. They only need to add the
impact of the zero-summed/multiplied electromagnetics
(electrogravitation).
As we cover in this book, the biopotential
of the cell is rooted in the nuclei of the atoms of the cell's constituent
materials. To be sure, every internal physical structure of the cell
correspondingly "levels" and structures the biopotential.
The overall cellular communication system is actually the exchange of "leakage"
photons - both observable and virtual - throughout the overall
biopotential of the organism.
Further, going beyond Popp's work, both the
biopotential and the leakage photons have extensive, complex internal
substructures. Leakage and intercommunication occurs laterally at
all levels of the biopotential, and vertically among cells and
substructures.
The master cellular control system's primary
electrical conductivity path is not through the electron shells of the
atoms, but is through the nuclei-to-nuclei scalar EM "biopotential
levels" pathway.
With scalar EM methods, organized signals
(signals with specific internal nonzero vector EM waves, but which
externally sum to zero vector resultant E and H fields) can be constructed
for essentially any specific purpose. This includes
"killing" a cancer or leukemia cell, destroying a virus, changing
the DNA, etc.
This approach can directly reach and manipulate
all immune and repair system functions.
The entire biochemistry and functioning of the
cell - including its genetics - is totally engineerable. The Soviets
have long known this, and have long since done it.
Further, a specific "charge
pattern" of desired specific immunity (antibodies, etc.) can be designed
and used to "charge up" the nuclei of the biosystem. This
charge is then maintained by the system to provide permanent immunity.
Thus one can develop, for example, an "electromagnetic inoculation"
for AIDS, one for cancers and leukemias, etc.
Since the cellular control system is holographic, the
"charge pattern" of immunity resides in every cell, including the
blood cells.
Injecting a drop of blood from a scalarly
immunized animal into another non-immune animal carries the scalar EM immunity
pattern into the new animal. That charge diffuses throughout the overall
biopotential of the organism, and the charge pattern activates the animal's
immune system, including causing it to produce antibodies - according to the
EM-transferred antibody template.
Antoine Priore demonstrated this effect numerous
times. This was one of the great mysteries that confounded the orthodox
members of the French Academy of Sciences.
The French Academy did not know of scalar
electromagnetics, the cellular biopotential rooted in atomic nuclei of the
cellular material, the cytopathogenic effect of mitogenetic radiation from
diseased and dying cells, phase conjugation, and phase conjugated
electromagnetic healing.
It is little wonder they did not comprehend the
operational healing mechanism of the Bordeaux cancer-curing machine of Antoine
Priore!

Procedural text comprehension tasks focus on modeling the effect of actions and predicting what happens next.
But they do not consider why some actions need to happen before other actions.
The paper proposes a new model called XPAD (eXPlainable Action Dependency) that considers the purpose of actions while predicting their effect.
The model favors effects that:
explain more of actions in the text.
are more plausible given the context.
An existing procedural text benchmark dataset (Propara) is expanded by adding the task of explaining actions by predicting their dependencies.
Input
Procedural (chronologically ordered text) sequence of T sentences.
List of N participant entities, whose state changes at some step.
Output
State change matrix $\pi(T \times N)$ with four possible states - move, create destroy, none.
This matrix tracks how property changes after each step.
Dependency Explanation Graph
Identify what steps are necessary to execute a given step (say si) and represent this dependency in the form of a dependency explanation graph G = <S, E>.
In this graph, each node is a step and the direction of edge describes the order of dependency.
Propara dataset is expanded to extract the dependency graph using both heuristic and automated methods.
The automated method is based on the coherence assumption that if step sj changes state of entity ek then sj is a precondition for the first subsequent step that changes the state of ek.
The model is based on the ProStruct system and uses an encoder-decoder based architecture.
Encoder
Input: Sentence st and entity ej.
Sentence is encoded using the GloVe vectors and a BiLSTM model and the entity is encoded as an indicator variable.
The combined representation is denoted as ctj.
This representation is passed through an MLP to generate k logits that encode the probability of each entity j undergoing a state change at step t.
Decoder
Beam search is performed to decode the encoder representation into the state change matrix and dependency graph using a score function that ensures global consistency.
Score function has two components:
State change score - depends on the likelihood that the selected state changes at step t given the text and state change history from steps s1 to st-1.
Dependency graph score
This is based on the connectivity and likelihood of the resulting dependency explanation graph.
This score is used to bias the graph search towards:
predictions that have an identifiable purpose ie checking if a particular state change prediction leads to a connection in the dependency explanation graph.
graphs that are more likely according to the background knowledge to distinguish likely dependency links from the unlikely ones.
During training, XPAD has access to the correct path (in the search space) and learns to minimize the joint loss corresponding to predicting the state change and the dependency explanation graph.
During testing, XPAD performs beam search to predict the most likely state change and dependency explanation graph.
Tasks:
State change prediction
Dependency explanation prediction
Baselines:
XPAD significantly outperforms all the baseline models on the dependency explanation task.
Improvements on the state change prediction task are less significant.
Removing dependency graph scores from XPAD leads to a drop in the F1 score.
The paper provides an elaborate discussion on the different types of errors that the XPAD system makes.

TSA expects record-breaking 26.8 million Thanksgiving travelers
Almost 27 million travelers are expected to pass through Transportation Security Administration checkpoints over the Thanksgiving holiday, a 4% increase from 2018, the agency said.
Interested in Travel?
Add Travel as an interest to stay up to date on the latest Travel news, video, and analysis from ABC News. Travel Add Interest
From Nov. 22 through Dec. 2, the projected 26.8 million flyers will include 2.7 million on Nov. 27, the day before Thanksgiving, and 2.8 million on Dec. 1, the following Sunday.
The TSA typically screens about 2.1 million passengers on weekdays.
The record-high number of travelers comes on the heels of "our busiest summer ever," TSA acting Deputy Administrator Patrica Cogswell said in a statement. "To plan for the season, partnerships with industry and stakeholders are critical to keep travelers moving safely and securely to holiday destinations. We want to ensure travelers are as best prepared as they can."
Earlier this year, TSA officers called out in record numbers as the government shutdown entered its fifth week, creating long screening lines at airports across the country.
Travelers also can expect to encounter new TSA technology this holiday season that aims to trim wait times. Computed tomography art scanners will give TSA officers a closer look at what's in a passenger's bags, though they will still have to pull out laptops and cellphones.
But by deploying this new technology, Cogswell added, the TSA is setting the stage "for more items to be able to be left in the bag, and for more people to leave laptops in."
TSA officers in the coming weeks also are expecting to be equipped with new credential-authentication technology that lets them to quickly identify travelers without having to verify passengers by looking at a photo ID under lights or lamps.
"You'll start seeing those show up at our airports in the coming weeks," Cogswell added.


Being exploited is unavoidable unless we try something radically new
2023-07-05
Exploitation has been a persistent issue throughout human history, leaving a lasting impact on societies. It raises the question: Is exploitation an inherent part of civilisation? As we’ve progressed over time, has only the focus of exploitation changed?
When we consider the origins of widespread exploitation like slavery or wage labor, we may wonder with exasperation if there was a time before it existed. Throughout history, societies have oppressed certain individuals or groups to benefit others, although the methods and targets have varied.
In today’s society, exploitation operates differently. Instead of relying on force and punishment, modern systems like capitalism use incentives. Capitalists and landowners hold the rewards, enticing people to work for personal gain. This system allows for some social mobility, education, and self-improvement.
Capitalism, despite its flaws, offers opportunities for change because people are becoming more educated and aware. This opens up the possibility of collectively managing our affairs, reducing the control exerted by the capitalist class. Socialism challenges existing power structures by emphasising social ownership and democratic control of resources. However the question remains: Who would hold the rewards, and therefore the power, in a socialist society?
The short answer is: we don’t know yet, but some ideas exist. Socialism is often seen as an alternative to capitalism, but it doesn’t necessarily represent a final solution. It is more like a transformative change aiming to create a fairer society. The outcome of such transformations is uncertain, with different visions and interpretations of socialism. So far, state socialism has been the only observed outcome of successful socialist change. However, it is mostly viewed very unfavourably in the West, as it has resulted in situations where all the rewards and means of punishment end up benefiting a group of corrupt political elites. Therefore, we should consider alternative approaches to state socialism.
Various alternative models have been proposed to transform society while addressing concerns of authoritarianism and power concentration. Examples include libertarian socialism, anarcho-syndicalism, and decentralised or non-hierarchical systems that prioritise individual autonomy and participation. Perhaps within these models lies the end of mass exploitation as we know it.
Exploitation, in some form, has persisted throughout human history. However, as civilisation has evolved, the dynamics of exploitation have shifted from traditional slavery to subtler control mechanisms like capitalism. Nevertheless, the potential for change remains, especially with movements like socialism that challenge existing power structures. It’s important to understand that socialism is not a fixed end state, but rather a stepping stone towards greater justice and equality. By exploring alternative approaches to state socialism, we can enrich the discussion and pave the way for new possibilities in shaping our collective future.

Senior Technology Services (STS) had its start in 2016 when Gregory Conrad, the president of STS,
assisted his grandmother with her computer challenges. After a few successful help sessions, it
became apparent to Greg that his grandmother was not the only senior who might need assistance with
technology. Consequently, Greg researched the avenues available to seniors and found that
technological support dedicated to seniors was limited. Greg decided to address this market void by
offering a variety of customizable services with pricing that could meet anyone's needs. STS is
grateful to have received positive press. Our
goal:
To provide seniors with the best technological support available for any electronic device
that has an “on” button.
We know getting around can be challenging, so we come to you. We serve seniors in the northwest suburbs of Boston.
All services may be compensated in one of two ways:
$25 per hour or homemade baked goods 😋
We strive to meet your needs and clearly explain how to use your technology.

Neomax CZ s.r.o.
(Feb 2013 - Apr 2013)
Participation in development of web-based information system
for ISPs called Mikrobill (startup project). Worked in small
team of 3 developers in total. Development has been
abandoned due to insufficient demand.
Main technologies:
- PHP (no framework),
- MySQL database design,
-
AJAX driven UI based mainly on jQuery UI and numerous
JavaScript libraries.
Mainly bug solving tasks together with implementation and
customization of an internal Content Management System.
Slides implementation for an online HTML & JavaScript
driven e-detailing presentation system included HTML &
CSS coding as well as the JavaScript usage. Creation of
simple custom 'bug tracking system' which led to increased
project management effectiveness.
Some of the websites which I've been working on:
Main technologies:
-
Raw PHP (no framework, usage of internal legacy coded
CMS),
-
JavaScript (jQuery & jQuery based extensions including
custom HTML5 presentation library
ClipNote),
- Basic Linux usage.


SpectrumIngest — Converts non-ADMIT spectral data to ADMIT format.¶
This module defines the SpectrumIngest class.
-
class
admit.util.SpectrumIngest.
SpectrumIngest
[source]¶ This class is used to convert foreign data (either files or arrays) into a CubeSpectrum_BDP suitable for use as an input to LineID_AT. If files are used then then the columns containing the frequency and the intensity must be given (channel numbers are optional). Any number of files can be given, but all spectra must have the same length as they are assumed to come from the same data source. Blank lines and lines starting with a comment ‘#’ will be skipped, additionally any line with too few columns will be skipped. If arrays are used an input then both the frequency and intensity must be specified (the channel numbers are optional). Both lists and numpy arrays are accepted as inputs. Multidimmensional arrays are supported with the following parameters:
- A single frequency list can be given to cover all input spectra, otherwise the shape of the frequency array must match that of the spectra
- A single channel list can be given to cover all input spectra, otherwise the shape of the channel array must match that of the spectra
- All spectra must have the same length
If a channel array is not specified then one will be constructed with the following parameters:
- The channel numbers will start at 0 (casa convention)
- The first entry in the spectrum will be considered the first channel, regardless of whether the frequency array increases or decreases.
The convert method will return a single CubeSpectrum_BDP instance holding all input spectra along with an image of each.
Parameters: None Attributes
chan (array) An array holding the channel numbers for the data, multidimmensional arrays are supported. Default: None. chancol (int) The column of the input file(s) that corresponds to the channel listing. Column numbers are 1 based. Default: -1. freq (array) An array holding the frequencies for the data, multidimmensional arrays are supported. Default: None. freqcol (int) The column of the input file(s) that corresponds to the frequency listing. Column numbers are 1 based. Default: -1. spec (array) An array holding the intesities of the data, multidimmensional arrays are supported. Default: None. speccol (int) The column of the input file(s) that corresponds to the intensity listing. Column numbers are 1 based. Default: -1. file (list or str) A single file name or a list of file names to be read in for spectra. Default: None. seperator (str) The column separator for reading in the data files. Default: None (any whitespace). length (int) Internal tracking of the length of the spectra. Methods
convert
([chan, freq, velocity, spec, file, ...])Method to convert input data (either files or arrays) into a CubeSpectrum_BDP. getfile
(file)Method to read in a file and convert it to a Spectrum. -
convert
(chan=None, freq=None, velocity=None, spec=None, file=None, separator=None, restfreq=None, vlsr=None)[source]¶ Method to convert input data (either files or arrays) into a CubeSpectrum_BDP. If files are used then then the columns containing the frequency and the intensity must be given (channel numbers are optional). Any number of files can be given, but all spectra must have the same length as they are assumed to come from the same data source. Blank lines and lines starting with a comment ‘#’ will be skipped, additionally any line with too few columns will be skipped. If arrays are used an input then both the frequency and intensity must be specified (the channel numbers are optional). Both lists and numpy arrays are accepted as inputs. Multidimmensional arrays are supported with the following parameters:
- A single frequency list can be given to cover all input spectra, otherwise the shape of the frequency array must match that of the spectra
- A single channel list can be given to cover all input spectra, otherwise the shape of the channel array must match that of the spectra
- All spectra must have the same length
If a channel array is not specified then one will be constructed with the following parameters:
- The channel numbers will start at 0 (casa convention)
- The first entry in the spectrum will be considered the first channel, regardless of whether the frequency array increases or decreases.
Additionally, if there is velocity axis, but no frequency axis, a frequency axis can be constructed by specifying a rest frequency (restfreq), and vlsr.
The convert method will return a single CubeSpectrum_BDP instance holding all input spectra along with an image of each.
Parameters: chan : array or int
An array holding the channel numbers for the data, multidimmensional arrays are supported. If an integer is specified then it is the number of the column in the file which contains the channel numbers, column numbers are 1 based. Default: None
freq : array
An array holding the frequencies for the data, multidimmensional arrays are supported. If an integer is specified then it is the number of the column in the file which contains the frequencies, column numbers are 1 based. Default: None
velocity : array
An array holding the velocity for the data, multidimmensional arrays are supported. If an integer is specified then it is the number of the column in the file which contains the velcoties, column numbers are 1 based. If this parameter is specified then restfreq and vlsr must also be specified. Default: None
spec : array
An array holding the intesities of the data, multidimmensional arrays are supported. If an integer is specified then it is the number of the column in the file which contains the intensities, column numbers are 1 based. Default: None
file : list or str
A single file name or a list of file names to be read in for spectra. Default: None
separator : str
The column separator for reading in the data files. Default: None (any whitespace)
restfreq : float
The rest frequency to use to convert the spectra from velocity to frequency units. The rest frequency is in GHz. Default: None (no conversion done)
vlsr : float
The reference velocity for converting a velocity axis to frequency. The units are km/s. If this is not set then it is assumed that the vlsr is 0.0. Default: None
Returns: CubeSpectrum_BDP instance containing all of the inpur spectra.


When writing XF records to BIFF8 format from Office Excel 2007 or later, if the XF record uses new formatting properties then a BIFF8 compatible XF record will be written followed by an XFEXT record that references that XF and contains additional information that can be used to restore the new properties when the document is opened again in Office Excel 2007 or later.

Overview¶
batoid¶
A c++ backed python optical raytracer.
Requirements¶
Batoid is known to work on MacOS and linux, using Python version 3.4+, and either the clang or gcc compiler with support for c++11.
Installation¶
This should be as simple as cloning the repo and running setup.py. One minor
hiccup is that this repo includes submodules for pybind11
and eigen
, so
when cloning for the first time, a command similar to one of the following
should be used
git clone --recurse-submodules git@github.com:jmeyers314/batoid.git
or
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/jmeyers314/batoid.git
Once the repo and the submodules have been cloned, then compile and install with
python setup.py install
or optionally
python setup.py install --user
Tests¶
To run the unit tests, from the batoid directory, first install the testing requirements
pip install -r test_requirements.txt
And then run the tests using setup.py
python setup.py test

Stanning Baby Yoda, star of 'The Mandalorian,' is a singular mood
by Adam RosenbergThere are two basic genres of Baby Yoda tweets at the moment, but everyone's a fan.
If you've existed on social media since the Nov. 12 launch of Disney+, then you've seen The Mandalorian's most precious little spoiler pop up at some point. The Baby Yoda tweets are everywhere.
 We'll call this the "What if Yoda advice, but baby" genre. Most come from the latest must-follow joke account.
We've got a whole, entire season of Baby Yoda moments in store (or so we hope), so expect plenty more action from Baby Yoda on Twitter.
The rest of the Baby Yoda tweets come from fans, and most of them are expressing their intense love for the cutest puppet Star Wars has ever known in the most dramatic fashion. It's starting to feel like half the internet – at least! – would willingly die to keep Baby Yoda safe.
There are so many of these, you have no idea. Everyone is willing to die for baby Yoda. Even though we all know now that Baby Yoda is perfectly capable of dealing with life's many curveballs.

This is an easy topic that seems to stump most MFC newbies. Imagine this:
You build a Dialog for your MFC application, all works great, until you need to keep track
of keystrokes on your dialog. Having experience doing the same on your View (Mainframe) classes,
you add a WM_KEYDOWN handler, confident that it will do it's job.
Soon you discover that it doesn't work, and after quick examination,
you know it will never work. Why? Simply because the Dialog window (the parent of all controls
on the dialog) never has the input focus. Focus is always on the hands of one of the child windows
or controls.
What to do? The answer is easier than you think: Take advantage of a
CWnd (from which CDialog is derived) virtual method: PreTranslateMessage()
.

Knowing this, all you have to do is write a piece of code like this:
BOOL CMyDialog::PreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg)
{
// TODO: Add your specialized code here and/or call the base class
if (pMsg->message == WM_KEYDOWN)
{
// Do your thing here
// Remember not to return without calling CDialog::PreTranslateMessage()
// Unless you really know the consequences
}
return CDialog::PreTranslateMessage(pMsg);
}
A you can see, PreTranslateMessage()
is a powerful
method, and much more useful than just getting keystrokes. I'm sure you'll put it
to good use.


Paul Chuckle furious as brother's grave used as part of Halloween decorations at club
A headstone saying 'RIP Barry Churckle 1944-2018' was at Heaven on Saturday, with fans using it as a selfie backdrop
by Molly Pike, https://www.mirror.co.uk/authors/molly-pike/Paul Chuckle has slammed a London nightclub for using a mocked up version of his brother's grave as part of their Halloween decorations.
A headstone that read 'RIP Barry Churckle 1944-2018' appeared at gay club Heaven on Saturday, with fans using it as a backdrop in selfies and posting them on Instagram .
Barry, who was one half of classic kids' TV duo The Chuckle Brothers with Paul, died in August 2018 after battling bone cancer.
Paul has slammed the "totally disrespectful" move and said he was in a "state of shock".
He told The Sun : "I'm genuinely in a state of shock! I just can't believe it.
"I think it's totally disrespectful not only to me but to his wife, kids and grandchildren and all our families. They will be devastated by this.
"I genuinely don't know what to say, what world do we now live in?"
Mirror Online has contacted Heaven nightclub for comment.
Paul recently told the Mirror that Barry regularly contacts him through dreams.
He said: "He's been in so many of my dreams since he passed, and I believe in the afterlife – it's comforting he's contacting me that way."
Barry originally didn't tell his brother that he was suffering from cancer.
Paul explained: "For a few years he had pain down one leg, but he said the doctors had told him it was nothing more than sciatica.
"I went to pick him up to go and film a sketch, and his wife Ann was helping him out of the door.
"He had a walking stick and looked 95 years old."
When he couldn't get out of bed, Barry told him that it was bone cancer.


Ingredients
Marinated Kale:
- 8 cups (packed) kale leaves (Note 1)
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 tsp each salt and pepper
Quinoa:
- 1 cup quinoa, any colour
- 2 cups water
Dressing:
- Zest of 1 large lemon
- 2 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard (or American)
- 1 garlic clove , minced
- 1 tsp sugar (optional, I add it)
- 1/2 tsp each salt and pepper
Salad:
- 1/4 cup dill leaves , roughly chopped
- 1/4 cup coriander/cilantro leaves , roughly chopped
- 1 red onion , quartered and finely sliced (optional)
- 1/3 - 1/2 cup chopped roasted almonds
- 100 g crumbled feta
Directions
Marinated Kale:
- Scrunch up the kale leaves then slice to about 1cm thickness.
- Transfer to large bowl.
- Drizzle over oil, scatter with salt and pepper. Use your hands to scrunch the kale leaves for 1 minute (see video). It should shrink to about half the size.
- Set aside for 30 minutes. The leaves will soften, making them suitable for eating raw.
Quinoa:
- Place quinoa in a fine mesh colander, then rinse under running water for 30 seconds. Drain excess water well. (Or do this in a big bowl)
- Place in a saucepan with water. Cover with lid, bring to simmer over medium heat then leave for 12 - 15 minutes until all water is absorbed.
- Remove from heat, leave lid on, and rest for 5 - 10 minutes. Fluff with fork then cool (spread on tray and refrigerate to speed up).
Dressing:
- Place ingredients in a jar, screw lid on and shake well. Set aside for 10 minutes.
Salad:
- Add the quinoa into the bowl with the kale. Add all the dill and coriander/cilantro, half the nuts, feta, and 2/3 of dressing.
- Toss well.
- Transfer into serving platter or bowls. Drizzle with remaining dressing, garnish with remaining feta and nuts.
- See Note 3 for serving suggestions - I’ve been having this as a meal, just plain.
