Taking the Temperature of Global Climate Change

The daily observation from the Solar & Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) clearly highlights a potential global problem. In 2008, nearly every day of each of the first four months of the year has recorded an observation of sunspot activity that is equal to zero. In fact, there have been only two days in the last four months when there has been any sunspot activity at all and each small event disappeared very quickly.The importance of sunspot inactivity is the continued confirmation that Sunspot Cycle 24 will be very weak or even delayed. The most recent solar minimum was in March of last year. The new cycle, No.24, was supposed to start soon after that, with a predicted gradual build-up in sunspot numbers. It has not yet happened. History would suggest that the longer the delay in cycle activity, the weaker this sunspot cycle will be.Consider that the future implications of this Read more…

The Real Secrets of Remote Viewing

- This information originates from, and was experienced at, very deep levels of our common self.- To our knowledge, no such material has ever appeared anywhere before.- Make good use of it.Warning:- This material is to be read slowly.- In order to become a consistently effective Remote Viewer, one needs to understand, integrate, and (hopefully) experience the following body of knowledge. Otherwise, one is only dabbling in these matters.“If thou would’st hear the Nameless, and wilt diveInto the Temple-cave of thine own self,There, brooding by the central altar, thouMay’st haply learn the Nameless hath a voice,By which thou wilt abide, if thou be wise.”Tennyson (1809-1892)Mr. O’Donnell is the founder of the Academy of Remote Viewing. He was a remote viewing instructor for the remote viewing (mental espionage) branch of a Western intelligence organization. Mr. O’Donnell would like to make the following information available:In order to successfully remote view, an individual Read more…

Windmill Site Selection Using Remote Sensing and Gis– a Case Study in , Andaman India

1. INTRODUCTIONThe Andaman and Nicobar Islands are the summits of a submarine mountain range lying on the great tectonic suture zone that extends from the eastern Himalayas to the Arakan along the Myanmar border and finally to Sumatra and lesser Sundaes. This archipelago consists of a group of 572 islands, islets and rock outcrops, but there are a total of 352 important islands comprising the main chain of Andaman and Nicobar, Ritches Archipelago and the out laying volcanic islands of Narcondam and Barren. The islands are spread over an area of 8,249 sq.km, of which 6,408 sq. km of area is occupied by the Andaman group and 1,841 sq.km by the Nicobar groups of Islands. The Andaman group consists of 324 islands of which 24 are inhabited while the Nicobar group includes 28 islands of which 12 are inhabited. Undulating topography and intervening valleys characterize the physiography of this Archiepelago. Read more…

What You Should Know About Gis Hosting

GIS is also known as Geographical Information System.  GIS technology is used to capture, store, analyzing and managing data with geographical attributes such as maps.  It is also used for creating and customizing or editing geographical data.  Graphical Information Systems have paved the way for people to analyze geographical data in numerous ways, an example of the use of GIS would be to upload a map of a specific large area, and analysts can then check the map over for information such as the terrain type, distance over a specific area and pollution.  The possibilities are endless with GIS; it has been very useful in tasks such as disaster management, market research and environmental research.GIS often requires specialist hosting in order to be able to handle the different technologies needed for getting everything online.  The hosting solution must be able to handle commercial and open source technologies such as PHP, Read more…

Rediscovering the Sense of Wonder: Reason and Revelation in the Baroque Period and After

There are times of transformation and change in the course of human history, when new discoveries force human beings into reassessment of their model of the world, into changing their views often in a drastic and painful manner. Eventually, what seemed to be unbelievable and shocking at first, years later becomes part of commonly accepted knowledge, and a new model gradually takes hold, promising to solve all the riddles of our existence. That process took place more than once, and at the times when people have to adjust to changes in their worldview it becomes clear how much tension and difficulty is involved in adapting to new information. Sometimes human mind finds it easier simply to deny the existence of facts that do not fit into the established picture, sometimes it chooses to discard “old” knowledge altogether: it is more convenient to divide our views of the world into true Read more…
