The mystery of solar nanoflares

Nanoflares are eruptions on the Sun which are billion times less energetic than ordinary flares but still have the power that belies their name. 

They appear as little brightenings of the solar surface at extreme ultraviolet and X-ray wavelengths and they might solve a long-standing mystery in solar physics:  What causes the Sun's corona to be so hot?

Physicist David Smith of the UC Santa Crus says a typical 'nanoflare' has the same energy as 240 megatons of TNT, or something like 10 000 atomic fission bombs.

The REAL Truth Behind Sugar

Sugarcane

By Dr. Michelle Kmiec

Contributing Writer for Wake Up World

Is Sugar Falsely Getting A Bad Rap?

Sugar, as most people think of sugar, is actually a very different product than sugar in the raw. Many people wouldn’t even recognize raw sugar if they came across it in the wild. It looks a lot like bamboo, and like bamboo, it is actually considered a type of grass – called sugarcane. Our palates love the sweet taste of sugar, and physiologically this makes sense since our primary source of energy comes from glucose.  Without energy, there is no survival. Sugarcane has been used for thousands of years as a natural source of energy by many cultures.

Nestle Continues Stealing World's Water During Drought

Nestlé is draining California aquifers, from Sacramento alone taking 80 million gallons annually. Nestlé then sells the people's water back to them at great profit under many dozen brand names.

The city of Sacramento is in the fourth year of a record drought - yet the Nestlé Corporation continues to bottle city water to sell back to the public at a big profit, local activists charge.

The Nestlé Water Bottling Plant in Sacramento is the target of a major press conference on Tuesday, March 17, by a water coalition that claims the company is draining up to 80 million gallons of water a year from Sacramento aquifers during the drought.

The coalition, the crunchnestle alliance, says that City Hall has made this use of the water supply possible through a "corporate welfare giveaway," according to a press advisory.

A coalition of environmentalists, Native Americans and other concerned people announced the press conference will take place at March 17 at 5 p.m. at new Sacramento City Hall, 915 I Street, Sacramento.

The coalition will release details of a protest on Friday, March 20, at the South Sacramento Nestlé plant designed to "shut down" the facility. The coalition is calling on Nestlé to pay rates commensurate with their enormous profit, or voluntarily close down.

The Play of Life [II]

It is like you carry a theater in your heart. You have a playwright, producers, director, stage director, actors and more in your heart. Every day they come out on stage and put on a good play. You couldn’t think up what gets put together without even a rehearsal. Everyone prances out on stage, and the drama does its thing, and the audience, which includes you, travels through all the emotions known to man. Oftentimes you are surprised at the drama. Other times there seems to be nothing new. Watch out. There will be new developments. The theater seats are filled everyday.
 
Even when you go home, the theater is there, everyone in place and the next performance is all set to go. The orchestra plays, and the Play of Life has begun its gyrations.
 
Are you not one of the actors on stage? Isn’t it your theater? Don’t you enter the set ready for the comedy or the drama, all the scenes and characters set before you? It is a play ad libbed to perfection. If you had studied the play for years, you couldn’t do better playing your part – and, incidentally, all the other parts as well. It is, after all, your play and your experience.
 
There is even a catering service included. Sometimes you are pleased with the food, and sometimes you’re not. Almost all kinds of performances appear on your stage, and many are repeated in one form or another.

20 of the World’s Weirdest Religious Beliefs

Valerie Tarico, Guest
Waking Times

Americans in past generations lived in a sea of religion inherited largely from the Middle East by way of Europe, with home grown refinements. Most still do. When Americans venture off the continent, one of the things many find fascinating is the religious  beliefs they encounter. Some people worship flying monkeys, or magical big breasted dancers, or Prince Phillip.

From the outside, beliefs like these seem fantastical and unlikely. They played a key role in evoking such ethnocentric ideas as noblesse oblige and manifest destiny and white man’s burden.  But if we could see our own culture from an outside vantage point, as if we were travelers, the world might look a little different. Even one of the Bible writers pointed out that self-examination is the first order of business.  Why are you looking at the speck in your brother’s eye, he asked (to paraphrase), when you have a plank in your own?

Triple Water Astrology – The Critical Degree! Weekly Horoscope – Starting Friday, March 20, 2015

moon goddess A3 final water

Please like my page at http://www.facebook.com/triplewaterastrology!

Cycles ending, cycles beginning…the current zodiacal year ends with a spectacular solar eclipse in the anaretic degree of Pisces. Literally hours later on March 20, the new zodiacal year begins with the Spring Equinox – Sun at 0 degrees Aries.

“May you live in interesting times” is an appropriate quote for this week, it seems. What cycles in your life are ending, and what activities and projects are you starting? Neptune, Mars, and Venus are in their home signs – and in consecutive signs, Pisces, Aries, and Taurus. Neptune seems to be guarding cyclical ends right now…a necessary part of a cycle to experience. Have your dreams drawn closer to reality under Saturn and Neptune’s watch? How will you use your personal energy (Mars) to start fresh and move forward with something new? Who will help you build (Venus in Taurus) something of value after new cycles are activated? Thinking about transformation, fortunately, is under Jupiter’s watch at the beginning of the week, with Mercury and Pluto forming a yod pointing to the benefic Jupiter. While experiencing the end of a cycle can be enervating or sad, the realization that something better can be constructed, cogitated, and initiated in a fresh cycle is invigorating because the new cycle builds on previous cycles, especially the last one. This week the heavens are saying, go for it!

I am not here to impart more knowledge to you. I am here to make you alert, to shock you into wakefulness.

And when the heart is awake and becomes a flame of light, you know the meaning of life and the significance of it - and it is great. And then gratefulness arises. Then the sheer gift of life is enough to be contented with forever and forever.

Are your Excuses Holding you Back?

Excuses

]]>

How often do you use excuses that hold you back from living the life of your dreams?

I hear it all the time, I would love to do “enter cool thing here” but I don’t have enough…..

Time.

Money.

Experience.

Connections.

And the list of excuses go on and on and on….

Most of the time you may not even be aware that you are making these “excuses”. To you, it may just seem like a legitimate reason, a practical reason that must be observed.
