thought for the day: Einstein and The Hopi
Einstein is an honorable mention to me. The real thinkers he mentions were the one "tribe" he did meet in 1930, the Hopi. Einstein remarked only once that, "Among all people, 12 year-old children (of the Hopi) were the best prepared to grasp his "Theory of Relativity."
Remember he met with only one "tribe" as far as I know. Just think what he might have said if he had met with the other Original peoples of Turtle Island and around the world! My heroes, the ancestors, too many to mention, have never left the paradigm of Native thought because it is a source and not a resource.
Now if you think about the world these Native children were experiencing and how little of the western educational experiment they were exposed to, then it makes sense from the get-go - how long they were already living 'in Relativity' rather than the 'Theory of' it. In other words, they had no western education from the day they were born until the time they met Einstein, a westerner!

Just think if he had met more than one "Original Nation" rather than one 'tribe' ???
big little people news: ancient tools and the hobbitt
Scientists on Wednesday announced the discovery of stone tools at least 118,000 years old at a site called Talepu on the island of Sulawesi, indicating a human presence. The scientists said no fossils of these individuals were found in conjunction with the tools, leaving the toolmakers' identity a mystery.
"We now have direct evidence that when modern humans arrived on Sulawesi, supposedly between 60,000 and 50,000 years ago and aided by watercraft, they must have encountered an archaic group of humans that was already present on the island long before," said archaeologist Gerrit van den Bergh of University of Wollongong in Australia.
The 2004 announcement of the discovery in a Flores cave of fossils of Homo floresiensis, a species about 3 feet 6 inches (1.1 meter) tall that made tools and hunted little elephants, jolted the scientific community.
"Like on Flores, where Homo floresiensis evolved under isolated conditions over a period of almost 1 million years, Sulawesi could also have harbored an isolated human lineage. And the search for fossil remains of the Talepu toolmaker is now open," van den Bergh said.
Scientists have been eager to unravel the region's history of human habitation. Sulawesi may have served as a stepping stone for the first people to reach Australia roughly 50,000 years ago.
"Major islands such as Flores, Sulawesi, Luzon, and perhaps others as well, could have served as natural experiments in human evolution, and could throw new light on human evolution in general," van den Bergh added.
The species that made the tools may have reached Sulawesi by drifting over the ocean on tsunami debris, he said.
The researchers described 311 stone tools, most made of a very hard limestone. Archaeologist Adam Brumm of Australia's Griffith University said they were produced by humans striking one stone with another, fashioning smaller pieces with knife-like sharpness.
"They mostly comprise simple sharp-edged flakes of stone that no doubt would have been useful for basic tasks like cutting up meat, shaping wooden implements, and so on," Brumm said.
Found nearby were fossils of an extinct elephant relative and extinct giant pig with warthog-like tusks.
The research was published in the journal Nature.

Not on my plate!
I like salmon baked, broiled, grilled and barbecued. But there’s one way I don’t like it, and that’s with the gene of an ugly monster fish spliced into it.
Yet that’s exactly what’s headed for your dinner table right now, as the FDA has approved a genetically modified Frankenfish despite more question marks than the Riddler’s costume.
The feds claim they reviewed more than two decades of research before approving this monstrosity. What they WON’T say is that most of those studies had more conflicts than a soap opera.
They were small — in some cases looking at just SIX fish! — and funded by the company that makes the horrible things. And despite those huge flaws, those studies STILL managed to uncover potentially serious risks.
One found the fish may be more likely to cause allergic reactions, while another found higher levels of a growth hormone linked to multiple forms of cancer in humans.
Does that sound like something you’d want to serve for dinner? Of course not — and those aren’t the only problems with these Frankenfish.
The new salmon will be farmed in Panama from eggs raised in Canada and sold in United States.
By the time they reach you, those fish will have more miles on them than an old tire!
It might taste like one too, when you consider the gene they used to modify it came from the ocean pout, a nasty bottom feeder that looks like a two-foot slug. When fishermen catch one, they usually say “UGH! What the heck is that ugly thing?” and throw it back.
Now, the ocean pout will be part of every AquAdvantage Atlantic salmon.
The company behind the new salmon says it might be two years or more before the fish are in U.S. stores. Even then, they claim the shipments might be small at first.
But once they do reach stores, there will be no way to tell what’s what since genetically modified foods don’t have to be labeled. Fortunately, there will still be one way to get an honest-to-goodness normal fish, and that’s to make sure you eat only wild-caught salmon.
It’s gotten harder to find these days because of some shady label-swapping — so before your next fish dinner, be sure to read this free report from the Daily Dose archives.
And there’s always that other option: Go out and catch one yourself. -

Should We Solar Panel the Sahara Desert? (bbc.co.uk). A bunch of experts weigh in. No one questions the insane premise. Why does everything have to revolve around a magic monoculture/all-eggs-in-one-basket ("Manhattan project" style) techno-jihad against planet earth? And BTW, what about asking the Africans (you know, the people who own the territory in question?) first, before discussing it behind their backs? (I love how the underlying assumption is "We Westerners can just agree up front on this grand thing we're going to do, and then get approval from indigenous peoples later.") Never mind that. What about rethinking your lifestyle and restructuring your economic reality in such a way that it doesn't require paving the freakin' Sahara desert with solar panels in the first place? But in any case: Why wouldn't you want to just make the Sahara into a lovely (cactus) garden, say? Aren't plants a much better way to harvest sunlight (and CO2) than solar panels?

Coconut Orange Moisturizing Sugar Scrub Recipe
Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to exfoliate and moisturize all in one step? With this sugar scrub, you can do just that! It only takes THREE ingredients to make, and it leaves skin feeling soft, smooth, and refreshed.
Coconut Orange Moisturizing Sugar Scrub Recipe
Ingredients:
1/2 cup Shea Butter
1/2 cup Coconut Sugar
10 drops of Orange Essential Oil (or more, depending on your preference)
Directions:
Measure 1/2 cup of coconut sugar and place into a medium sized mixing bowl. Scoop 1/2 cup of shea butter into a smaller bowl.
Warm the shea butter for thirty seconds in the microwave. It won’t be completely melted, but it will be softer and easier to mix with the sugar. Pour the shea butter into the bowl with the coconut sugar, and mix well.
Add the essential oil, and mix again. To finish, spoon the mixture into a glass container. I like to use recycled jars that I have around the house.
Makes 1/2 cup of sugar scrub.
How to Use:
Start with a quarter-sized amount of scrub and massage onto skin in circular motions. The heat from your hands (or steam from the shower) will soften the shea butter. Rinse, and rub the remaining shea butter into the skin to lock in moisture.
Tips:
*Coconut sugar is a little bigger than standard white sugar, and it is brown in color. It also has a stronger scent. The larger granules might be too harsh for sensitive skin. Always do a small patch test to avoid irritating skin. Do not use on facial skin.
*Make small batches to avoid fresh ingredients going rancid.
*Decorate jars with stickers and ribbons to give as gifts!
*Exfoliate before applying a self tanner for a more even tan.
rest in peace DB

Sales over science, profit over people, greed over need
The great American medicine show, a spectacle of deceit, manipulation, and flimflammery
Butterflies waft across a beautiful field of spring flowers. A delightful young family bicycles joyously down a country lane. A couple on a park bench leans sensually into each other. A 40-something woman's face radiates with both perfect beauty and internal happiness. "All's right with the world," is the message... as long as you've taken your dosages of Lunesta, Celebrex, Cialis, and Botox.Welcome to medicated America, where the fix for every problem--from incontinence to erectile dysfunction, stiff joints to mood swings, weight gain to wrinkles-- is just a prescription away. Thus the beautiful images, stirring music, attractive actors, and soothing words in the omnipresent, multibillion-dollar kaleidoscope of drug advertising by Pfizer, Merck, Eli Lilly, Johnson & Johnson, and other giants of Big Pharma--all pitching their particular brand-name nostrum directly at us hoi polloi (the industry spends a fourth of its income on ads and other promotions, nearly double its expenditures on research and development). The corporate come-ons typically conclude with a phrase that has achieved cliche status in America's vernacular: "Ask your doctor if 'Suprema Wundercure' is right for you."

Make an Herbal Tincture by using the Folk Method
Ingredients
1 cup vodka
4 ounces of fresh herb or 2 ounces of dried herb
Instructions
Crush or chop the herb. Place the herb in a jar. (Canning jars are excellent). Cover the herb with the vodka. Add extra vodka if needed to ensure that the herb is completely submerged in the vodka. Place a lid on the jar. Label the jar with the name of the herb, liquid, and date that you started the preparation. Store the jar in a warm place. (On top of a refrigerator is a good location). Shake the jar vigorously twice daily. After two or more weeks, strain out the liquid using cheesecloth. Press the herbs while straining so that you will reap the maximum healing benefits from your tincture. Pour the tincture into glass bottles for storage. Carefully label each one. Use the same labeling information that you had on the prior label. Include dosing information. The dose varies depending upon the herb which you are using. Compost the spent herb. That is called the marc.
Tinctures which are designed to be used long-term may be prepared with vinegar. Vinegar is an excellent menstruum for extracting vitamins and minerals.
Word of the Day: Cure
The Cure for Cancer: Guyabano Fruit - I love researching & prevention on my own. pic.twitter.com/88wbqg3YjR— Violet Starr-Goforth (@23Darose) October 20, 2015
According to Dr. Leonard Caldwell, there are over 300 cures for cancer but most doctors are required by law to use surgery, radiation or chemotherapy before any proven holistic measures such as the Rife Machine, THC Oil, etc.. This is but one small example of how beneficial technology and ideas have been suppressed from us, all in the interests of money, greed and eugenics.
...
For example, the last thing that Big Pharma cured was polio and they realized that there is no money in providing a cure for anything. Essentially, Big Pharma places a bandaid over our illnesses and diseases through perpetual maintenance versus finding a cure. From this point forward, Big Pharma will focus on cures instead of temporary bandages that support their industry through lifelong medications.
A new breed of doctors will emerge who place holistic treatment ahead of anything else. In time, the Big Pharma doctor will either need to learn holistic medicine or will be phased out of existence. Of course, there are some things that cannot be cured and need maintenance through Big Pharma, but instead of using holistic treatment as a last resort, it will become the primary option.

Old Grudges!
Old Grudges
Dr. Amy Helen Bell:
My aunt told me this story when I was a child and I finally tracked down the original headstone at the Lake George United Church near Harvey Station NB. In 1915 a young girl named Trixie Hoyt had a suitor who got her pregnant, and she went to St Stephen to her aunt’s house to have the baby. Her parents did not like the young man, and had his letters to her sent back, and hers to him intercepted. The girl died in childbirth, not knowing the young man had written, and her parents brought her body home to be buried. Her headstone is the largest in the Churchyard, and reads: “In this cold Grave I lie, I was too young to die. Young friends, I was not to blame- to destroy my life it was his aim. Here is my deceiver’s Name: XXXXXX. We know that God is just and true, and will give this bold wretch his due.” The young man tried to come to the funeral, and apparently the mother denounced him as a murderer in the church. A few years later he wanted to marry, and came to the churchyard in the dead of night to chisel out his name. The baby lived, called “Dolorous Odell” by his grandparents, and was raised by them.
How many old grudges are set in stone this way? Strange to think the two families probably lived within a mile of each other their whole lives.
