By: Deon Melchior For many people, tattoos are marks of machismo – a form of expression for sailors, bikers and convicts with little significance outside of those subcultures.

Polynesian cultures have developed elaborate geom

From: The Cryptic Cosmology of Synchromysticism "I needed something to explain a way of investigating subjects with synchronicities and the word seemed to fit... My biggest inspiration for this kind of thinking and investigating came from Goro Adachi at Etemenanki. Goro calls his research multi-contextual." The synchromysticism research Jake Kotze publishes on his websites include information-dense videos, artwork and articles punctuated by images illustrating various mystic/pop culture linkages. His articles and videos usually focus on esoteric symbols or memes (possibly stemming from a collective unconscious mind) reoccurring throughout a wide range of sources, especially mass media. Such symbols include numbers, words, archetypes, shapes and various visual motifs or p

Ray Kurzweil, the famous inventor, is currently attempting to foretell a future so different as to be unrecognizable. This future lies across a border called the singularity. Kurzweil is 60, but he intends to be immortal.
The notion of a singularity is taken from cosmology. It signifies a border in spacetime beyond which normal rules of measurement do not apply -- such as the edge of a black hole, for example. The term was first used to describe a crucial moment in the evolution of humanity by the great mathematician John von Neumann. John von Neumann, noting the ever-accelerating pace of technological change, predicted " some essential singularity in the history of the race beyond which human affairs as we know them could not continue."
Kurzweil has transformed the singularity from an in

Most women are born with a hymen, a thin piece of skin that partially covers the opening of the vaginal opening, or introitus. The main purpose of the hymen appears to be protection of the vaginal opening and the areas immediately surrounding the introitus during a female's early developing years. Yet many cultures place significant amount of importance on the hymen, focusing on whether or a not a young female has one. The reason that this small and seemingly insignificant piece of tissue of is of such great importance is that an intact hymen may indicate the chastity of a woman. The presence of the hymen implies that the woman is a virgin. The importance of a female's chastity is often emphasized in particular in patriarchal societies and by traditional religions. Presumably a chaste brid
In the present day world of online marketing people want fast results and do not find it worth to go for natural optimisation techniques. To stand in the competition, and want quick result to stand their, people think for short method link paid optimization. Whether such a move helps can be debated.From my point of you, if I am handling a business or website I would rather go for natural optimisation like to come with hundreds of keywords and on the first pages of the search engines. That would be an ideal situation, one we can only try to achieve. To reach to such a level or gain a very good search engine page rank, some website publishers often go crazy and about anything.

Kalki, or Sri Kalki Bhagavan, the founder of Golden Age Foundation, is considered to be the Kalki Avatar capable of bringing enlightenment and to introduce the Golden Age. Here he is commenting on the significance of the year 2012.
Question: What is the significance of the year 2012.Sri Kalki Bhagavan: OK. Most of you know that the earth has got a magnetic field. As the earth’s molten core is rotating; the magnetic field is created. The thought sphere of the human mind is located in the earth’s magnetic field. This mag-netic field has been weakening dramatically over last ten years.
Now, in physics there is a parameter called “Schumann’s Resonance” Using that we can determine the strength of the earth’s magnetic field. While for many centuries, it was constant around 7.80 cycles per second, during the last 7-8 years, it has risen to 11 cycles per second and is continuing to increase dramatically. If you work it ou

A subtle mauve heart first catches your attention, and as you zoom out, the variegated, geometric gold petals shimmer slightly, accentuated by a midnight blue backdrop. The last thing you'll notice is the hefty weave, which adds just the right amount of texture and a little masculine handle to the femininity of floral patterns. Significant, but subtle.
I do not profess to be a historian nor am I a political activist. Yet November 22, yesterday, came and passed as our Thanksgiving Day celebration. Nowhere and I mean nowhere in mainstream media, print or television, was there a mention that November 22, 2007 marks the 44 year anniversary of the assasination of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy our country’s greatest hope for justice and peace.
Yes 44 years is not a round number or one that we traditionally celebrate or mourn an anniversary in this country. But it is very significant that we continue to pretend that the assassination of one of this country’s greatest statesman was nothing more than a single act carried out by a lone gunman bent on taking political Cold War action for his beloved Cuba.
The proof that this was a coup led by our government to silence JFK permanently is everywhere-except in our mainstream media. Without listing the facts regarding the trajectory of a bullet, the lack of a standard operati
Our response to colour is actually much more complex than most peoplerealise. It's a mixture of instinct, cultural conditioning and theresult of personal experiences and associations. We can seeinstinctive responses in nature, warning colours like red, orange andacid green are associated with being poisonous and animals haveevolved to avoid those colours (as other animals have evolved to mimicthose warning colours as self-protection. Associations of coloursnaturally come from our environment too, the blue of the sky, the goldof the sun, the green of grass, the red of blood and orange of fire,all produce memories and emotions. However, the memories and emotionsabout fire colours for example would be very different for someone whoassociates them with a log fire on an winter evening and someone whohas had the isfortune to be caught in a house or car fire.

Did any of you watch Dragon’s Den last night? If so, you saw just how significant a domain name can be when you’re promoting a Web site. The developers of UniversityParty.ca got turned down for financing largely because they don’t own UniversityParty.com (a company in New York owns it). Not only did they blow the financing, they also increased the value of UniversityParty.com by an enormous amount by going on national television and talking about it. Short-sighted doesn’t begin to describe that combination of decisions!

By: Brian HawkinsAlmost everyday, life throws something new at us. Some problems are not that hard to deal with. But, once the unexpected happens, it would be much better to be in a position to deal with it properly. Communication is an issue that always comes up when the unexpected occurs. For example, it is helpful to be able to contact some family member or friend when, lets say, one is stuck in a precarious situation. There are usually two communication options available for emergency issues: The first being mobile phones and the second being universal prepaid phone calling services or emergency cell phone calling cards. Nowadays many people carry cellular phones to be able to be reached by their employers and families. However, for most people, cell phones are not the best options out there. First of all, many cell phone service providers charge high fees for their reputation and brand equity. In addition, these cell phone providers lock their customers into long term plans to kee
In California, veteran trial lawyers would concede to the fact that a case may not always be won upon the selection of jury panel. Nonetheless, a case can also be easily lost in that strategic part of the trial process.Every trial lawyer is aware of the fact that there are three very critical junctures in every trial. The jury selection involving the voir dire, opening statement and conduct of cross-examination on the very first witness are the major occasions that could make or unmake the client's case.Voir Dire is actually a term of Anglo-French origins with the meaning "to speak the truth."The Voir Dire process starts when a number of people is selected to be jury and is issued with jury summons to appear and gather in court. The people who were drawn together will be the source from which the panel of jury will be formed. They will be divided into groups as potential jurors for the trial.Then, the lawyers representing each party involved in the lawsuit to be tried will issue quest

Exactly twenty four years ago, on August 23, 1983, Senator Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino Jr. was assassinated by the henchmen of the Marcos dictatorship.
To commemorate this important historical occasion today, I am posting an article written a year after the murder by Antonio Zumel, who was then one of the editors of the underground paper Ang Bayan. The commentary presents the event and its implications from the point of view of the revolutionary Left, perhaps the only real opposition to the dictatorship with a truly national scope during that time.
And though I’m no longer part of the youth-student component of the legal ND movement, I still find the said article useful for understanding the complexities of the historical period between the assassination of Ninoy Aquino and the fall of Marcos.

AFC Team Outlooks: 2006 Regular Season NFL Run/Pass Ratio Significance
Baltimore 52 % Pass to 48% Run
2006: Baltimore was very balanced last year in their offense, as their record pointed out. With a second straight disappointing year from Jamal Lewis, they went to the pass more often. McNair spread the wealth and was productive throwing to Mark Clayton, Derrick Mason, and Todd Heap.
2007: I see that Baltimore will stop the passing trend, as they added RB Willis McGahee to bolster their run attack. They should improve considerably on their 3.4 average, and use the play action very well. Look for Baltimore to stay balanced, this time favoring the run more than the pass with the acquisition of McGahee.
Buffalo was close to Even (431 plays pass to 420 plays run)
2006: Buffalo showed a lack consistency both running and passing. The offensive line was poor and their QB play was erratic. The shaky performance in 2006 placed atop as one of the worst offenses in the league. The only plays tha
Having just read Orwell's 1984 I was fascinated by period, characters and idea characterized by him. Though the plot was realized in novel in1984...n since nothing of that dimension occurred people derided the novel stating it to be baseless and its idea unrealistic. But I think that maybe time is not correct we cannot escape the dangers mentioned in the Orwellian World. Author was not guessing the time of such catastrophe but was focusing on the dangers of such world. If we look around we can clearly see Orwellian Characteristics emerging in the society.

Recruitment is a fundamental purpose for employers to keep its employees. When a specialized body of professionals carried recruiting tasks, known as “Recruitment Agency”.

A report was published today in the UK showing that HRT was linked to significantly more cases of ovarian cancer.I think the figure was something like a 20% increase in the likelihood of ovarian cancer.Clearly what was meant was that the increase found was statistically significant but I wonder how many people will interpret that as morally, socially, medically or personally significant.Statistical significance simply means that the apparent 20% increase is unlikely to be accounted for by random fluctuations in the data. It is saying that there is a 95% (or 99% or whatever level of statistical test was performed) chance that this is a genuine signal standing out from the background noise of fluctuations.The moral significance is up to the individual patient and doctor. It is personal choice weighing the balance between benefits of the therapy and potential hazards. The biggest determinant of ovarian cancer is family history - the genes you are born with. So if there is a history of

In an article entitled "Medjugorje Prophecy on RP soon to be fulfilled?", Mr. Bingo P.

The Philippines, the only Catholic nation in Asia, has a special devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary. " (Source: http://www.TheBoholChronicle.com ).One has to wonder if recent events in the Philippines (such as the building of a statue of Our Lady which will be taller than the Statue of Liberty) have a prophetic significance. After signing the Japanese surrender, General MacArthur (whose involvement in the Philippines fulfilled a prophecy itself) wanted to speak to America and the world about peace, but with a strong warning. He said: "Men since the beginning of time have sought peace…military alliances, balances of powers, leagues of nations, all in turn failed, leaving the only path to be by way of the crucible of war.
