For some, finding a great online casino and taking advantage of worthwhile casino bonus offers is the best way to have a great time and take in a little cash. Some do very well with this type of gambling while others have a little trouble trusting technology in this regard.

Are Your Money and Information Safe?

It is vital that you understand what the process is when you are participating in online casino bonus opportunities. Taking some time to read the information the company provides on the site is very important to that end. You need to take some time to find an address and telephone number on the site for the casino and verify that it is a real company. Ask them to give you licensing information and then contact the state that they are licensed in regarding online gambling regulations. You never want to give your personal information including banking information to anyone online without first trusting the company that you are giving it to.

This is what will keep you safe from anyone intending to do you harm instead of providing you with great online casino bonus options. Take some time to fully understand the technological aspects of the game. You will want to know how to play and succeed at the games. This will give you the confidence you need to do well in online casinos. Playing safe and understanding that it is a game is important to your success.

 

 

World Steps Toward Democracy

Around the world, countries are taking steps toward freedom and democracy for their people, with varying success. It is hard for people in the free world to understand the slow but necessary steps that must be taken to move a country from oppression to a state of freedom. After many years of dictatorships or Communism, it takes time to form a solid, stable government and to put infrastructures in place to sustain it.

In China, President Hu recently made a speech discussing the need to move government in the direction of democratic elections, decision making and management. Even in the villages of China, democratic elections are held every three years, with competitive campaigns and frequently, secret ballots.

Egypt is also moving in a more democratic direction. Following the revolt that removed President Murbarak, newly formed political parties are holding press conferences and campaigning for the free votes of the people. It is slow going, however, as people who spend their life in hiding are reluctant to step into the public eye.

In Guinea, poverty abounds where their natural resources could place them among the wealthiest countries in Africa. Democracy under a power-hungry military leader was almost impossible. Now, under leadership of Prime Minister Jean-Marie Doré, Guinea takes its first tentative steps toward freedom and democracy.

In the Kazakhstan Democracy, President Nazarbayev has taken great steps toward democracy, and has invited the world to watch as free and fair elections take place. Though criticised by many, President Nazarbayev declined an offer to extend his presidency to the year 2020, and retains a 90-percent approval rating among his people.

 

Evaluating Your Finances

During tough economic times, consumers are often left wondering how to make ends meet. Before waiting until the money has run out, it is important to take the time to evaluate your finances. Taking an honest look at your priorities, including your lifestyle and the impact of our materialistic society can help you save yourself from some serious financial hardships.  Working out a budget, you may need the help of cash advance lenders to get your plan off to a good start, but the key is starting now.

Evaluating Want Versus Need

Today’s society is more materialistic than ever, putting undue financial strain on many consumers, especially from the lower and middle classes.  Take some time to look at what you actually need in your life and start cutting out the excess. For example, while you may need an MP3 player to make your morning run a bit easier to handle, you probably don’t need the best player on the market. Cutting out the ‘extras’ is a great way to reign in even the most out of control budget. It will also allow you to use money from cash advance lenders for emergencies instead of for buying extra ‘stuff.’

Evaluating Lifestyle Choices

The next big area that should be carefully considered is your lifestyle. How often to you dine out? What sort of entertainment expenses do you have? Chances are you can make some minor adjustments to your current lifestyle and save yourself a pretty big chunk of change.

Remember, cash advance lenders are an excellent source of emergency funding for those who have evaluated their finances responsibly.

Standing for Your Financial Responsibility

Wherever lifestyle choices may take you, one thing is certain, your finances travel in tandem. Life takes us on twists and turns that give our financial fitness a tough run. Standing for your financial responsibilities, no matter what the situation, is the surest way to begin on a path to making your finances work in your favor.

Throughout life, it is natural to acquire debt. Student, personal and pay day loans help to alleviate the burden of finding cash in a pinch. Taking an assessment of your current financial situation helps to formulate a plan of attack that best suits your needs. Improving your fiscal health doesn’t have to feel like a daunting task. Every small step you take amounts to progress.

Credit cards can be a savior when you need them. However, they can also help make a sturdy dent in your pocketbook. Debt acquired from credit cards average over $15,799 per household. Millions of cardholders are faced with a mountain of debt staring at them with each statement. Try calling your credit card company and ask about receiving a reduced interest rate. On occasion, cardholders have been able to settle their debt on their own. Some companies will work to cut your debt as low as 50 percent. It is important to remember to get such a settlement agreement in writing.

Companies that specialize in debt reduction will charge a fee for their services. Depending on the state of your finances, it could be helpful to use such a service.

The Importance of Relationships in the Lower Class

Location is on Malcolm X Blvd between 124th an...

Image via Wikipedia

Depending on the socio-economic class of a person, their top priorities will change. For instance, in the middle class, education and financial security are very important. In the upper class, who a person “knows” is important. For the lower class relationships are extremely valuable.

The lower class values entertainment, cash and relationships. They live in the moment because the future is always a shaky thing. This a primary part of the educator, Ruby Payne’s, teachings. Dr. Payne suggests that our priorities are defined by our station in life. In the lower class, the people in one’s life are extremely important because they are a resource.

When defining poverty, Payne says that it is measured by the extent that people do without resources. Resources are more than money. They include transportation, education, health care, and many of the very basic things needed to succeed in life. If a person has lived in poverty for generations, then that person has learned that he needs people he can rely on, and he also knows his people must rely on him, too.

In the lower class, anyone with a car is a valuable resource. So is anyone with cash in his pocket. Poor people don’t have good credit because they have nothing to back it with. They live paycheck to paycheck, and sometimes that means living on a relative’s paycheck. There isn’t much room to be materialistic, although it isn’t unusual to see a person in the lower class wearing expensive shoes or clothes. More than anything, it just means that person had the cash for something nice. Those clothes may also attract the right relationships.

The Middle Class Lifestyle is Changing

If an economic crisis lasts long enough, people’s core values may begin to change. In the middle class, people learn to get a good education, buy a good home, and save their money for retirement. Much of the driving factor for success is about the future. These values come from generations of people who usually stay in the same economic class as their parents.

Today, those values are shifting back to an old-fashioned way of living. During the Great Depression, class was a concept on the brink. Even the wealthy suffered financially, but most people regained their social status as the country recovered. Americans still had hopes and dreams for a brighter future, but the practical approach to conserving resources meant that the middle class shifted to a cautious handling of money. For four generations, saving money has been a key part of the middle class lifestyle.

However, somewhere along the way, the middle class became enamoured with the economic boom of the 1990′s, and people began to hedge their futures against easy access to credit. Now it’s all come crashing down, and the attraction to materialistic things like big homes, luxury cars, and expensive trips has caused the middle class to pay attention to the wisdom of earlier generations.

The middle class lifestyle is once again a practical approach to living where people use cash to buy the extra “luxury” items. Practical cars are back in favor, and real estate sales are at a stand still. Once again, the middle class lifestyle is changing back to a practical philosophy that emphasizes education, practical houses and cars, and saving money.

Technology Bridges the Gap Between Classes

With the advancements in technology and the gadgets that power it, people from a variety of lifestyles and classes are able to interact like they never have before.

Social Networking Around the World

Social networking sites like Facebook and YouTube are making it possible for people from multiple generations, traditions and lifestyles to get to know one another on a deeper level. In the past, the upper class had little to do with the lower class. They didn’t seem to have much in common. On a materialistic level, that’s true. However, many found that they did have some similar interests and philosophies. The online relationships took the access to the country club out of the social equation.

Greater Access to Education

Whether it’s via Pell Grants, or whether it’s access to online learning via the new technology, today’s students come from all walks of life. In the past, only the affluent could afford college educations, so it was more difficult for the lower class to excel beyond generations of poverty. Whether it’s access to better resources, a shift in lower class values or politics, there’s no denying the rags to riches story is alive and well around the world.

Technology As a Window To the World

Everything from the Internet to Satellite television has given people a window to the world where they can learn about different cultures and lifestyles. What was once considered foreign and unsavory can become the popular culture of the day. A great example is the explosion of Rap music. It is a worldwide phenomenon. Without the wonders of technology, that would have never happened.

The Bermuda Triangle and Antarctica

The art or science of metallurgy is vital to the social structures surrounding all esoteric beliefs. They are the most tangible items of the cosmic soup that are possibly drawn to certain Earth Energy Grid locations as we shall see. The shamans who gathered meteorite material to fashion tools and weapons as well as for the use of the metals and spirits thereof became great aristocrats, as their family or heritage and legends grew. Genghis Khan (Temujin) is from such a family and most of the early aristocrats were either adept (like the House of David and Solomon) themselves or worked closely with these artisans who we could call alchemists, as Mircae Eliade does in his ‘The Forge and The Crucible’. When the Spanish arrived in Mayan lands they asked the Aztecs and others where their knives came from, they also found a meteorite at the venerated apex of the Cholula pyramid. They pointed to the heavens and the Spanish reports call this paganism. When this use of metals began is anyone’s guess.

It requires no great debate or references of authorities to know the almost ultimate import of meteors in the ancient past when one considers just these two things. The Ka’aba is a black meteorite in Mecca and there is a ritual among the Islamic faithful who must visit it once in their lifetime. That ritual of approaching this sacred relic from very ancient times (before Islam) is learned by all of Islam. In Mexico there are pyramids with churches on top (now) that used to house meteorites.

“In 1969, a Japanese scientific expedition was trekking near the Yamato Mountains, in the region of the Antarctic {Under international domain.} icecap that lies directly south of Africa. The Japanese found nine dark meteorites lying close together on the surface of the ice.

Given meteorites’ scarcity, the expedition leaders assumed that the nine samples they found were fragments of a single large specimen that had broken apart in its fall to the ice. To their amazement, however, they soon discovered that their finds were all of different types and chemical compositions. They were not pieces of one rock. They had not even formed in the same region of the solar system. This was thrilling! The convergence of nine separate thunders tones at that single spot implied that the ice sheet itself was somehow collecting those rarities of nature and sweeping them together.

The Japanese mounted more expeditions to the Yamato ice in 1973, 1974, 1975, and 1979, and they were rewarded with a grand total of 3,000 meteorites. Every year since then, during the brief Antarctic summer, international expeditions have converged on the Japanese rock gardens. Each small meteorite is photographed where it lies and then nudged gingerly into a teflon bag, which is an awkward procedure when performed with thick mittens and in deep subzero cold, with the stone skittering on the ice. Once bagged, each specimen is shipped home and studied in an antiseptic laboratory, using the same sort of apparatus built to study Moon rocks. The sample is never touched by human hands.” (1)

They go on to describe the then existing theory of the Big Bang but no mention of how these rocks get there and keep getting there. What might be happening here? Is there a case of affinity at work (my encyclopedia has an in depth description of affinity)? Is there intelligent design or what? The Pasadena lab where a lot of these things are studied is known as the Lunatic Asylum. A member of my sister-in-law’s family works for JPL there, and travels all around the world doing things they never get to know about anymore. Is it because she isn’t allowed to tell them or is it because the family used to call her ideas and the things we would talk about ‘sheer lunacy’? What happened in the 8 billion years or so between the formation of our known universe and the formation of our Milky Way comprised of countless solar systems? The numbers are so incredible that the mind can’t conceive what is in just the known universe, and there are others we put outside the words ‘known universe’. Who is able to do more than worship this phantasm or orgy of ‘luna’-cy (luna=moon)?

“‘It looks as if Venus may have had oceans hundreds of millions of years ago,” says planetologist Jim Head. If so, Venus would have been very much more like Earth. Its continents may have enjoyed rivers, streams, puffy white clouds, and pleasant weather… Will the human volcano heat Planet Earth until all the seas go dry and lead melts in the sunlight? Are we already on the downhill path to Venus?” (2)

The reason the rocks are drawn to Mt. Yamato may have something to do with the Earth Energy Grid which has two bands of energy ‘blobs’ or vortices around the world. Mt. Yamato would be a site where the opposite energy may exist. I will not be able to prove it but I will present some interesting data on the likes of the Bermuda Triangle from the early research of Ivan Sanderson whose work is continued in another very recent book which I will cover as well.

First of all let me say I think a very large meteor was drawn to the area of the Bermuda Triangle in 8350 BCE or thereabouts. The cobalt and nickel left there from this meteor will throw electrical guidance systems haywire and this has been demonstrated by credible researchers. I have dealt with it extensively in other books. It is called the Carolina Bays Event and I think it provides a reason why there is a 2200 foot drop to an urban site now being looked into off the coast of Cuba. The plate tectonics of rising mountains in the Andes would be far too early to tie in with this sudden drop of a city or urban center, I think. This excerpt also addresses the region of Japan where recent finds of semi-Pyramidal structures are being researched. That site is Yonaguni and there are others near there.

“The Disposition of Anomalies

We have spent a perhaps inordinate amount of time discussing the things that called attention to these ‘Vile Vortices’ in order to demonstrate the extent and character of the phenomenon. I think the time has now come for some detailed analysis of and comment upon this business as a whole; and from this we may proceed to some speculation.

The popular idea has been that there is one roughly triangular area with sides running from Bermuda to central Florida and thence to Puerto Rico in which a large number of planes have simply vanished without a trace.

This is a glamorous notion, but on proper analysis, it does not stand up. It is not a triangle, and its periphery is much greater than the one outlined above. In fact, the area in which such disappearances, or alleged disappearances, have been recorded forms a large, sort of lozenge-shaped {These lozenge lattices are found all around many ‘keltoi’ sites like the Tarim Basin of recent discovery. Mandalas are designed according to energy flow. The energy that taught or that they observed is all important.} area which is neither centered on the Oceanic island of Bermuda not can it in any way be depended from it. We have plotted all the ‘disappearances’–and please remember that this is something quite different from mere sinking of ships and submarines, or ditchings of planes–reported from this area and found that it slops way over the original so-called ‘triangle.’ After this discovery, the question naturally arose as t the uniqueness of this funny blob, which extends from about 30degrees to 40 degrees north latitude, and from about 55 degrees to 85 degrees west. Was it unique?

We knew already that there was at least one other such area alleged to exist. This lies some 250 miles south of the Japanese island of Honshu about longitude 140 degrees east. We therefore started to work, gathering records of ships lost and planes vanishing around this point which, as a matter of fact, had up till then been only mentioned–and rather casually at that. The outcome was not just amazing; it was positively startling. Plane after plane on its way south to Guam appears to have vanished, and this with disturbing frequency. So we started plotting again, and despite the usually very vague locations given–and no wonder, considering that these planes disappeared without radio signals or any trace–another lozenge-shaped blob came to light.

This startled us a bit, but then one of my colleagues had the brilliant idea of getting out a map of the world! Once we had a map before us, we saw that both lozenges lay precisely between 30 degrees and 40 degrees north and also spread about 30 degrees east to west, latitudinally. This really did spark us, so we made a grab for the globe.

Now the surface of our earth as seen on a globe is really very different from what we look at on a two-dimensional map, and especially one on what is called the Mercator projection. Just where did these two blobs lie relative to each other as one went around the globe? It turned out that they were centered 160 degrees apart (going around one way) and 200 degrees (going the other). In other words, there did not appear to be any noticeable pattern. If they had been at 180 degrees going both ways, they would have been exactly opposite each other on opposite sides of the earth. But then something else cropped up.

We had been inundated with letters asking for more information on the disappearances of the Israeli and French submarines at the east and west ends of the Mediterranean, respectively, We were naturally unable to add anything to the news reports and official statements. However, the Mediterranean Sea just happens to form a lozenge-shaped blob, also lying between 30 degrees and 40 degrees north, and just about 30 degrees from left to right, latitudinally.

Naturally, we measured the distance between these three blobs. Then something else rather startling came to light. They were arranged on an apparently strict numerical progression–from the Bermuda bit to the Mediterranean, four; the Mediterranean to the Japanese, five; and the Japanese to the Bermuda, six.

Now, I don’t like such neat patterns emerging in anything in nature; it looks far too much as though somebody had got the idea first, and then tried to fit the facts into it. You can fit almost anything into almost anything else if you try hard enough; as any mathematician, statistician, or police officer can tell you. However, Nature is to a great extent fairly orderly and does display rather neat patterns.

So we had three ‘blobs’ in a line–and the same line, please note–of something. But just what? At this point I started doing some hard thinking. If there are three such areas between 30 degrees and 40 degrees north latitude, could there be equivalents at 30 degrees and 40 degrees south latitude? A subsequent investigation into plane, ship, and sub losses in the southern hemisphere yielded some amazing results.

There turned out to be three exactly similar areas situated below the equator. These lie off the east coasts of South America, South Africa, and Australia. All proved to be precisely within 30 degrees to 40 degrees of latitude south, and also to be about 30 degrees of longitude in width. But very strangely, they were all tilted up to the right or east, as were also those in the northern hemisphere! Frankly, this does not seem to make sense, because our planet is a sphere and the southern hemisphere should mirror the northern. So we started looking for some physical reason for this clear pattern.

The first thing that emerged was that these vortices in the southern hemisphere wee precisely shifted the same number of degrees to the east in all cases. Then one further fact came to light. Of all the possible known physical factors that could cause this pattern–temperature, barometric pressure, and, above all, geomagnetic anomalies–only one fitted, and this was surface ocean currents!

Five of these six areas–the Mediterranean alone being in a different category–lie on the right or east sides of the continents, {Before the African continent collided with the land north of it about 12 million years ago, this would not be the case. But it would not have been on the right of any land then. Remember this is where the Great Pyramid serves some Earth Energy Grid function and somehow is located on the nearest firm foundation to the center of all the land masses on earth.} and all precisely in curious areas where hot surface currents stream out of the tropical latitudes toward the colder waters of the temperate, subpolar and eventually polar areas. What is more, the two principal ones in the northern hemisphere, in accordance with the simple behavior of waters on a spinning globe, turn clockwise, while the three in the southern hemisphere turn counterclockwise. There is nothing odd about this; but there is about the fact that said twirls all make their tightest turns precisely in these five locations…

{He goes on to detail how other occurrences are problematic in these same areas and highlights the fact that disappearances that leave no trace only happen to such a high proportion in these areas. He then got a letter from a woman whose brothers in the Navy and Air Force had told her things that result in ten ‘blobs’ or lozenges which fit the ancient Pentagon-dodecahedron knowledge which he does not mention and may not have known about. He also makes it clear he sees none of the UFO or ET things to this which Cathie and others do.}

The significance of this may be lost on most of us ordinary and non-mathematically orientated folk, so I asked our chief geometer, who is also a specialist electronics engineer, to tell me how to put it. His reply was very clear and, to me at least, simple; namely, that there would appear to be ten funny places on the surface of our planet which lie opposite each other in a particular manner… demonstrated that all five of them {Skewers placed through the globe at the points of the lozenges.} were battling to pass through the exact center of the earth.” (3)

Thus we have the Great Pyramid serving as the keystone to the surface of the earth and these vortices of energy derived out of some deep earth energy which I also relate to the meteorites from space finding a reason to collect in Antarctica or the large one drawn to the Bermuda Triangle. Research on the tensile strength of metals over these ‘blots’ shows the fields of energy surrounding the earth has a strong impact on everything and that makes one wonder about many things considered foolish about astrology or other psycho-spiritual sciences. Imagine attuning oneself to these energies and directing them.
