Heavenletter #4291 Now, Will You Smile?, August 24, 2012 

God said: 

 

You know, sometimes, when life gets too much for you, it's okay for you to acknowledge this and give yourself a break. If you need a day off, you need a day off. You can't wait for someone to accommodate you. Accommodate yourself.

When you need a break, take a break.

There is nothing you have to prove. You don't have to prove you are Mighty Mouse!

Even when life is such that you must continue within the pressure you feel, then even as the situation stays the same, you can mentally put your feet up. You can withdraw from the stressful emotion you may be feeling. You can give yourself a break from tension. You can. I know you can.

You can stop thinking that you are under enormous pressure. If you were a teapot, you would take off your lid and let the steam get out. Imagine the steam coming out of you. It's simple for vapor to evaporate. Let the excess steam come out from your fingers, from your toes, from your ears, from your nose and from your mouth. Let the steam out. Relieve yourself of the pressure you have imposed upon yourself.

An alien from AliensMaybe something like this? A Klingon from Star Trek has a basic humanoid shape

More like the one on the right: If the theory by astrophysicist Ralph Pudritz is correct, we are more likely to run into a Klingon from Star Trek (right) than an alien from Aliens (almost certainly a good thing)

To anyone who has seen the film 'Prometheus', it will be a very familiar story. Humans and aliens may share the same DNA which could be part of a 'universal structure', according to researchers.

Palm trees are planted. Bridges are illuminated with colored lights. Streets are smoothed over. New cell towers have been erected.
 

Like a giddy debutante, the city of Tampa is spruced up in anticipation of what Mayor Bob Buckhorn calls his city’s “coming-out party” as the Republican National Convention begins next week. But while the city is putting on its party clothes, it’s also preparing for a disaster.

Earlier this month, the president nominated Navy Rear Admiral James D. Syring to the position of Vice Admiral – assigned as Director for the Missile Defense Agency.

Amid the calamity of political attack ads and pundits taking pot-shots throughout the media, this news has virtually escaped the public eye. The reason why the news is significant isn’t because of the appointment itself, but because of who the appointment replaces.

The nomination was necessary in order to replace Lt. General Patrick O’Reilly who is under investigation by the Inspector General’s office of the DoD, for allegedly “verbally harassing” his subordinates.

According to a July Wired report, Lt. Gen. Patrick O’Reilly had a habit of using a “hailstorm of expletives” with his staff on a consistent basis, to the point where staff members would avoid telling O’Reilly the truth for fear of another verbal attack. (2)

(NaturalNews) It's in your cookware, your clothing, furniture, carpets, popcorn bags and even in your food! It's perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and it remains indefinitely in the environment and even gets stuck in your body. PFOA is a toxicant and known carcinogen that has been detected in the blood of more than 98% of the US population. Exposure to this chemical has been associated with increased cholesterol, uric acid levels, preeclampsia, heart disease, liver damage, thyroid trouble, neurological disorders, chronic kidney disease and kidney cancer.


High levels of exposure to the Teflon (a DuPont registered trademark) chemical PFOA causes the risk of testicular cancer to skyrocket by 170 percent.

ST. LOUIS — While other corn growers already have knocked down their drought-ravaged crops to feed them to livestock, Nebraska farmer Doug Nelson still waits for his maize to mature, well aware it won't be a banner year.

On the day a new report suggested the nation's worst dry spell in at least a generation is deepening in America's breadbasket, Nelson said Thursday he expects to harvest anywhere from nothing to 43 bushels per acre on his unirrigated acreage, a far cry from the 120 to 140 bushels he'd typically get. On the irrigated land, he could see 150 to 200 bushels an acre; in previous years, Nelson would see a minimum of 180 bushels.

The Martian landscape: But what is that hovering over the background? Dots appear to float in the sky, leading some observers to suggest an alien presence

When Curiosity first touched down on Mars, Internet pranksters were quick to mock up photographs of alien life on the alien landscape.

But it seems Nasa has itself captured something very strange on camera, including a strange white light dancing across the horizon of the red planet, and four blobs hovering in the sky. While the images are certainly a curiosity, Nasa and photography experts insist that these are nothing more than blemishes on the images, picked up by the camera lens sitting on the rover at a distance of 350 million miles away.

A week ago, we reported that a former "employee" at Scientology's flagship drug treatment center in Oklahoma -- Narconon Arrowhead -- told us that the controversial center was delivering Scientology training rather than drug education, and that its officials have been concerned for years that its state certification was "extremely vulnerable." (The center is currently under investigation by local and state agencies for four deaths that have occurred there, three since last October.)

We didn't name that source, but now, he's come forward on his own.

Hackers backdoor the human brain, successfully extract sensitive data

  • Emotiv brain-computer interface

  • With a chilling hint of the not-so-distant future, researchers at the Usenix Security conference have demonstrated a zero-day vulnerability in your brain. Using a commercial off-the-shelf brain-computer interface, the researchers have shown that it’s possible to hack your brain, forcing you to reveal information that you’d rather keep secret.

    As we’ve covered in the past, a brain-computer interface is a two-part device: There’s the hardware — which is usually a headset (an EEG; an electroencephalograph) with sensors that rest on your scalp — and software, which processes your brain activity and tries to work out what you’re trying to do (turn left, double click, open box, etc.) BCIs are generally used in a medical setting with very expensive equipment, but in the last few years cheaper, commercial offerings have emerged. For $200-300, you can buy an Emotiv (pictured above) or Neurosky BCI, go through a short training process, and begin mind controlling your computer.
