Nous voilà revenus au Royaume-Uni, et plus précisément au nord de l'Angleterre, dans le coin de Liverpool, une ville qu'on a déjà visitée il n'y a pas si longtemps que ça lorsqu'on a abordé le cas du groupe Colonel Bagshot. Retournons cependant un peu moins loin dans le temps par rapport à ce dernier pour nous rendre dans les années 80, période qui a vu l'émergence et la démocratisation d'un nouveau courant musical : la new wave. Comme d'habitude, au milieu de ce bouillonnant mouvement, certains artistes et groupes se sont davantage imposés que d'autres et It's Immaterial, notre sujet du jour, ne fait pas tout à fait partie de ceux-là. Créé au tout début de la décennie, ce groupe a pourtant réussi à marquer les esprits en son temps grâce à un single qui a très bien marché. Malheureusement, et peut-être du fait de son identité musicale un poil étrange, il n'a finalement pas réussi à asseoir sa position. Penchons-nous donc sur le cas de ce groupe indé et new wave pas comme les autres au travers de son premier album sorti en 1986 : Life's Hard and Then You Die.

Tech Bro NonsenseFormer Google CEO Tells Congress That 99 Percent of All Electricity Will Be Used to Power Superintelligent AIbillionaire tech tycoon and former Google CEO Eric Schmidt comments to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce: "What we need from you is we need the energy in all forms, renewable, non-renewable, whatever. It needs to be there, and it needs to be there quickly.""Many people project demand for our industry will go from 3 percent to 99 percent of total generation... an additional 29 gigawatts by 2027 and 67 more gigawatts by 2030. If [China] comes to superintelligence first, it changes the dynamic of power globally, in ways that we have no way of understanding or predicting.”Meta Says It's Okay to Feed Copyrighted Books Into Its AI Model Because They Have No "Economic Value"In the ongoing suit Richard Kadrey et al v. Meta Platforms, led by a group of authors including Pulitzer Prize winner Andrew Sean Greer and National Book Award winner Ta-Nehisi Coates, the Mark Zuckerberg-led company has argued that its alleged scraping of over seven million books from the pirated library LibGen constituted "fair use" of the material, and was therefore not illegal.Meta's attorneys are also arguing that the countless books that the company used to train its multibillion-dollar language models and springboard itself into the headspinningly buzzy AI race are actually worthless. Meta cited an expert witness who downplayed the books' individual importance, averring that a single book adjusted its LLM's performance "by less than 0.06 percent on industry standard benchmarks, a meaningless change no different from noise." Thus there's no market in paying authors to use their copyrighted works, Meta says, because "for there to be a market, there must be something of value to exchange," as quoted by Vanity Fair — "but none of [the authors'] works has economic value, individually, as training data." Other communications showed that Meta employees stripped the copyright pages from the downloaded books.Tellingly, the unofficial policy seems to be to not speak about it at all: "In no case would we disclose publicly that we had trained on LibGen, however there is practical risk external parties could deduce our use of this dataset," an internal Meta slide deck read. The deck noted that "if there is media coverage suggesting we have used a dataset we know to be pirated, such as LibGen, this may undermine our negotiating position with regulators on these issues."Lauren Sánchez in Space Was Marie Antoinette in a Penis-Shaped RocketKaty Perry Boasts About Ridiculous Rocket Launch While NASA Is Scrubbing History of Women in Space“It's about a collective energy and making space for future women. It's about this wonderful world that we see right out there and appreciating it. This is all for the benefit of Earth.”Last month, the Orlando Sentinel first reported, NASA scrubbed language from a webpage about the agency's Artemis missions declaring that a goal of the mission was to put the first woman and first person of color on the Moon; just a few days later, NASA Watch reported that comic books imagining the first woman on the Moon had been deleted from NASA's website.A webpage for "Women at NASA" is still standing, but pictures of women and people of color — astronauts, engineers, scientists — have reportedly been removed from NASA's real-world hallways amid the so-called "DEI" purge. Per Scientific American, the word "inclusion" has been removed as one of NASA's core pillars. And as 404 Media reported in February, NASA personnel were directed to remove mentions of women in leadership positions from its website.OpenAI NonsenseOpenAI Is Secretly Building a Social NetworkOpenAI has been secretly building its own social media platform, which The Verge reports is intended to resemble X-formerly-Twitter — the social media middleweight owned by CEO Sam Altman's arch-nemesis, Elon MuskOpenAI updated its safety framework—but no longer sees mass manipulation and disinformation as a critical riskOpenAI said it will stop assessing its AI models prior to releasing them for the risk that they could persuade or manipulate people, possibly helping to swing elections or create highly effective propaganda campaigns.The company said it would now address those risks through its terms of service, restricting the use of its AI models in political campaigns and lobbying, and monitoring how people are using the models once they are released for signs of violations.OpenAI also said it would consider releasing AI models that it judged to be “high risk” as long as it has taken appropriate steps to reduce those dangers—and would even consider releasing a model that presented what it called “critical risk” if a rival AI lab had already released a similar model. Previously, OpenAI had said it would not release any AI model that presented more than a “medium risk.”Saying 'please' and 'thank you' to ChatGPT costs OpenAI millions, Sam Altman saysBeing nice to your AI chatbot requires computational power that raises electricity and water costsAltman responded to a user on X (formerly Twitter) who asked how much the company has lost in electricity costs from people being polite to their models: “Tens of millions of dollars well spent — you never know,” the CEO wrote.AI models rely heavily on energy stored in global data centers — which already accounts for about 2% of the global electricity consumption. Polite responses also add to OpenAI's water bill. AI uses water to cool the servers that generate the data. A study from the University of California, Riverside, said that using GPT-4 to generate 100 words consumes up to three bottles of water — and even a three-word response such as “You are welcome” uses about 1.5 ounces of water.Antitrust NonsenseTrump DOJ's plan to restructure Google hurts consumers, national security, says exec: 'Wildly overbroad'Kent Walker, Google's president of global affairs: "We're very concerned about DOJ's proposal. We think it would hurt American consumers, our economy, our tech leadership, even national security. The proposed reform from DOJ "would result in unprecedented government overreach that would harm American consumers, developers, and small businesses — and jeopardize America's global economic and technological leadership at precisely the moment it's needed most."8 revelations from Mark Zuckerberg's 3 days on the witness stand in Meta's antitrust trialThe FTC alleges Meta "helped cement" its illegal monopoly in the social media market with its acquisition of Instagram and the messaging app WhatsApp more than a decade ago.8 revelations:Antitrust worries surfaced years agoTwo years before the FTC initially sued Meta over allegations that it violated US competition laws, Zuckerberg considered breaking Instagram out into its own company to avoid potential antitrust scrutiny, according to a 2018 internal email revealed by the government at trial."I wonder if we should consider the extreme step of spinning Instagram out as a separate company," Zuckerberg wrote in the email to company executives. "As calls to break up the big tech companies grow, there is a non-trivial chance that we will be forced to spin out Instagram and perhaps WhatsApp in the next 5-10 years anyway." If a break up were to happen, Zuckerberg wrote, history showed that companies could end up better off.Asked about this view at trial, Zuckerberg said, "I'm not sure exactly what I had in mind then."A 'crazy idea' to boost Facebook's relevanceZuckerberg's "crazy idea" for Facebook in 2022 involved purging all users' friends. The CEO — fearful that Facebook was losing cultural relevance — made the proposal in a 2022 email to the social network's top brass."Option 1. Double down on Friending," Zuckerberg wrote in the message. "One potentially crazy idea is to consider wiping everyone's graphs and having them start again."Sheryl Sandberg wanted to play Settlers of CatanZuckerberg once offered to give Sheryl Sandberg, the former COO of Meta, a tutorial in the board game Settlers of Catan.The lesson offer came up in 2012 messages in which the two discussed the fresh $1 billion purchase of Instagram, partially redacted missives presented by the FTC during Zuckerberg's testimony showed."We would love it. I want to learn Settlers of Catan too so we can play," Sandberg told Zuckerberg in the message. He responded: "I can definitely teach you Settlers of Catan. It's very easy to learn."Meta's rivalry with TikTok has only just begunDuring his testimony, Zuckerberg hammered home Meta's argument that the tech giant faces massive competition from other apps, especially TikTok."TikTok is still bigger than either Facebook or Instagram," Zuckerberg testified. "I don't like it when our competitors do better than us. You can sort of bet that I'm not going to rest until we are doing quite a bit better than we are doing now.”Facebook Camera app struggles were a source of worryInstagram's early rise shook Zuckerberg. As his company struggled to mount its response with the Facebook Camera app, the CEO began to lose his patience."What is going on with our photos team?" Zuckerberg wrote in a 2011 message to top executives, as revealed by the FTC in court. Zuckerberg then described a number of individuals, whose names were redacted, as being "checked out." He added another person didn't want "to work with this team because he thinks this team sucks."In May 2012, Facebook launched a photo-sharing app called Facebook Camera, which aims to make it simpler for the social network's users to upload and browse photos on smartphones. Only weeks after Facebook spent $1 billion on a similar photo-sharing app called Instagram. Zuckerberg tried to buy Snapchat for $6 billionZuckerberg's failed bid to buy Snapchat was highlighted by the government to bolster its argument that Meta sought to maintain its dominance in the social media market through acquisitions rather than competition.Facebook isn't really for friends anymoreWhile under questioning by the FTC, Zuckerberg said that Facebook had greatly evolved since he launched the platform more than 20 years ago and that its main purpose wasn't really to connect with friends anymore.The FTC argues that Meta monopolizes the market for "personal social networking services.""The friend part has gone down quite a bit," Zuckerberg testified. He said the Facebook feed has "turned into more of a broad discovery and entertainment space."Not impressed by WhatsApp cofounderZuckerberg wasn't too impressed with one of WhatsApp's cofounders after a 2012 meeting he had with company leadership."I found him fairly impressive although disappointingly (or maybe positive for us) unambitious," Zuckerberg wrote in an email to colleagues after the meeting, it was revealed at trial.Jan Koum and Brian Acton cofounded WhatsApp in 2009. Zuckerberg said in his testimony that he thinks he was referring to Koum. Asked about his email, Zuckerberg seemed uneasy. He said that Koum was clearly smart but that he and Acton were staunchly opposed to growing their messaging app enough to be a real threat to Facebook. Zuckerberg would go on to buy WhatsApp in 2014 for $19 billion.Mark Zuckerberg's Meta Platforms adds former Trump advisor to the board days before an antitrust showdown with the FTCMeta Platforms is further boosting its lineup of heavy hitters with the additions of Stripe CEO Patrick Collison and Dina Powell McCormick to the mix. Powell McCormick was the former Deputy National Security Advisor to President Donald Trump during his first term. Married to Republican Senator Dave McCormick, former CEO of Bridgewater Associates, one of the world's largest hedge fundsStakeholder/shareholder activism NonsenseBP suffers investor rebellion at first AGM since climate strategy U-turnBP suffered an investor rebellion on Thursday after facing shareholders for the first time since abandoning its climate strategy at a meeting marred by protest.About a quarter of shareholders (24.3%) voted against the chair, Helge Lund, which marked the first time in at least a decade that more than 10% of BP's shareholders voted against the re-election of the chair.The outgoing chair told shareholders that the company had “pursued too much while looking to build new low-carbon businesses” but that “lessons have been learned”.BP's CEO Murray Auchincloss (2.7% against), repeated his previous claim that BP's optimism in the global green energy transition was “misplaced”, and that the board's “one simple goal” was to “grow the long-term value of your investment”.Mark Van Baal, the founder of the green activist investor group Follow This, said shareholders had “made it clear that weakening climate commitments is unacceptable”. He added: “This historical result serves as a wake-up call to BP's board and emphasises investor expectation for robust governance mechanisms and genuine leadership on ESG issues.”Starbucks CEO faces major backlash after details of his work routine are revealed: 'Ill-conceived decision'A press release from the National Center for Public Policy Research reported on the hypocrisy of Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol's transportation practices when considering the company's public commitment to eco-friendly practices.Niccol travels regularly from his home in Newport Beach, California, to Starbucks' headquarters in Seattle, Washington, via private jet. Each 2,000-mile round-trip commute releases nearly nine tons of carbon dioxide.The National Center for Public Policy Research's Free Enterprise Project's director Stefan Padfield pointed out the discrepancy of policy and practice during his presentation of Proposal 8 requesting an annual report on emissions congruency. He noted that each round trip made by Niccol "is roughly the annual energy-consumption footprint of the typical American household."This analogy paints a vivid picture of the hypocrisy between Starbucks' public environmental commitments and the practices of the CEO. Gaps are apparent. Target CEO Cornell meets with Sharpton to discuss DEI rollback as civil rights leader considers boycottCEO Brian Cornell met with the Rev. Al Sharpton in New York on Thursday as the retailer faces calls for a boycott and a slowdown in foot traffic that began after it walked back key diversity, equity and inclusion programs, the civil rights leader told CNBC Wednesday.The meeting, which Target asked for, comes after some civil rights groups urged consumers not to shop at Target in response to the retailer's decision to cut back on DEI. While Sharpton has not yet called for a boycott of Target, he has supported efforts from others to stop shopping at the retailer's stores.“You can't have an election come and all of a sudden, change your old positions,” Sharpton told CNBC in a Wednesday interview ahead of the meeting. “If an election determines your commitment to fairness then fine, you have a right to withdraw from us, but then we have a right to withdraw from you.”IBM Informs Staff of DEI Retreat as Trump-Era Scrutiny GrowsEmployees were told of the changes earlier this week, in a memo that cited “inherent tensions in practicing inclusion.” Legal considerations and shifting attitudes to DEI were among the factors for the company. IBM CEO Arvind Krishna discussed the changes in his monthly video update to employees Thursday.Anti-DEI activist Robby Starbuck said he first contacted the company in February to question its policies. IBM confirmed it discussed its changes with Starbuck.The company (-10% gender influence gap) also disbanded a diversity council that represents the views of employee groups as part of its reevaluation.Exxon Faces No Shareholder Proposals for First Time in 25 YearsThe absence of requests in Exxon's proxy statement comes a year after the company sued two climate-focused investors to remove what it described as their “extreme agenda.” It also tracks with the US Securities and Exchange Commission's decision to back guidelines that make it easier for corporations to block votes on shareholder resolutions at their annual meetings.Exxon said in a statement late Monday that it received only one proposal this year and the SEC agreed it should be discarded because “it tried to micromanage the company.”Occidental Petroleum Corp., Valero Energy Corp. and Dow Inc. are other companies with no shareholder proposals up for vote at this year's annual meetings.Exxon said this year marks “the first time in recent history that our proxy includes zero proposals from activists.” It was just four years ago that a small fund scored a victory over Exxon, placing three directors on the company's board.Climate activist shareholder group Follow This pauses big oil campaignClimate activist shareholder group Follow This said on Thursday a lack of investor appetite has forced it to suspend its nearly decade-long campaign seeking stronger commitments from major oil and gas producers to emission cutsHarley-Davidson slams activist investor, saying its campaign is messing up its CEO searchIn early April, H Partners' Jared Dourdeville, who had been a Harley director since 2022, abruptly resigned from the board, saying among other things that Harley had “cultural depletion” because of its work-from-home policies and the exit of several senior leaders. And that was not his only point of contention with the rest of the board.Investment firm H Partners, a major investor with 9.1% of Harley's shares, in an open letter filed on Wednesday, urged fellow shareholders to remove three longtime directors from Harley's eight-member board at its annual meeting in mid-May by withholding votes for them. H Partners said the board had not held Harley CEO Jochen Zeitz accountable for what it called his repeated “strategic execution failures” and “severe underperformance.”CEO/Chair Zeitz (2007, 30%)Lead DIrector Norman Thomas Linebarger (2008, 13%)Sara Levinson (1996, 20%)"We believe Mr. Zeitz, Mr. Linebarger, and Ms. Levinson should be held accountable for the destruction of shareholder value,"Harley's bylaws stipulate that directors who win less than 50% of votes in an election must tender their resignations.Harley announced last week that Zeitz, CEO since 2020 and board member for 18 years, would resign but stay in his role until a successor is found. H Partners wants him out now.That followed a letter issued a day earlier by Harley-Davidson, which accused H Partners of “publicly campaigning” against it and saying that those efforts are also “adversely impacting the CEO search process and ongoing execution of the Hardwire strategic plan,” referring to a turnaround plan it launched in 2021.Harley said that it began a CEO search late last year after Zeitz expressed interest in retiring and has interviewed three potential CEOs, including one supported by Dourdeville, but declined to offer any the job. The company has also said that Dourdeville had cast only one vote against the majority during his time as a director and that as recently as November 2024 he had expressed support for Zeitz.Harley-Davidson faces board fight from H Partners amid calls for CEO to exit soon

Beasts to Bring in the Harvest (3) (Audio) David Eells - 3/8/23 Seek Me NOW! Tiannah Fire - 1/18/23 I started feeling Gods presence and had this urge to write down what was coming to me in the Spirit so I did. “I Am wanting vessels who want to remain until the end, to go through all that is about to come on the world, in My peace, love, and My Joy, manifesting and witnessing to the world of My Son in His Power and Glory and Might. This world is desperate for My Son, and My Son is who they are going to get. All alive on the earth will be given the choice to reject or accept Me before everything is destroyed. All that will remain is My Spirit, everything else will be destroyed and already is, for it is about to manifest. The time is now to seek Me with everything that you are, with your whole mind and strength. You are to be constantly focusing on Me; setting your mind on things above and not on things on the earth. I Am the only satisfaction and Glory. I want to commune with you. I desire you to be one with My Son. I have already done it all, but You need to agree with Me and go along with what I have already prepared. Your life is for Me. Your mind, soul, spirit and body were created for Me and My Glory. This world and everything in it were created for Me to express my love and everlasting grace. I Am everything good and there is nothing but Me. (1Co. 15:27-28 For, He put all things in subjection under his feet. But when he saith, All things are put in subjection, it is evident that he is excepted who did subject all things unto him. 28 And when all things have been subjected unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subjected to him that did subject all things unto him, that God may be all in all.) The time is coming and already is here. I Am here and I am coming. I Am increasing Myself in those who want Me. I want you more than you know, and more than you could ever want me. I want to grow you as quickly as you will allow Me Stop thinking about and spending your time on physical things. I provide ALL your needs. Your spiritual needs are greater than your physical [needs]. Seek spiritual food not physical. You are blessed when in My presence and praising Me. Sacrificing yourself brings the greatest glory. I Am life. Awaken to Me. I live in you and through you. Focus on Me. Remain steadfast and hold on to Me till the end. I Am coming and have already come. (Because He doesn't live in time.) Every second is another moment closer to eternity. Every second focused on Me has an increase of Me in you. Seek Me. I am closer than your breath and I desire to increase. Allow Me. I know you more than you know yourself. I love you more than you can comprehend but choose Me in full. I want your whole heart, your whole strength and might. Without Me you can do nothing. With Me, we together can and will do all things, above what your carnal [mind] can understand. Choose Me. Focus on Me NOW and forever. If You don't spend your time with Me now, how will you spend your time with Me for Eternity? If you don't serve Me and do My will now, how will You serve Me for Eternity? I choose you and want you here with me in full, not in part. Come to Me for your daily bread. Every moment that goes by that you aren't communing with Me are moments missed of My increase and My spiritual blessings. Only I can satisfy your soul. Only I can make you breathe and your heart to beat. I Am. Seek me NOW.” A Sudden Move of God Debbie Fenske - 1/16/23 (David's notes in red) During our morning Zoom meeting, the Lord allowed me to see in the Spirit, those whom we would call, the lowliest of people, and those addicted to every kind of sin. I could see the Spirit of the Lord suddenly coming upon them, moving in their spirits. I could discern their intense desire for God. These were dry, needy, and homeless people on the streets. (These represent spiritually homeless people as well.) I could see them dropping to their knees, and raising their hands to heaven with a sudden, but awesome desire for Jesus; to truly want to know Him. “I am doing this. I am doing the work. But even My people, who know My truths, and are walking in My ways, will see, and wonder if such persons could be touched in such a way. But I say to you, ‘What a remnant I am bringing forth!' So, I warn you. I warn My people to be prepared. Be ready to receive My gift to minister to those who I will allow you to run into as you go about your business of the day. And I say, do not let their appearance stop you from being moved by My spirit, to minister by My Spirit as I bring you face-to-face with them. Be alert and do the work of God. Even those affluent ones who have sat before Bible teachers hearing My Word preached, and receiving it with joy, and walking in My ways to the best of their knowledge, now will suddenly receive revelation from My Spirit that they are yet so empty, and needy of the deeper truths of My Word. They are going to suddenly desire more of Me, and they will seek Me with all their hearts, praying with earnest out of a sudden yearning desire which I will suddenly impart to them. (In revivals in the past, sinners and self-righteous people suddenly, for no apparent reason, have been overcome with grief for their sins and cried out to God.) And many will find you and will truly find Me through the ministry and revelation truths you have received in Me through My Word and are so freely giving out. Be ready, My People. For I will suddenly do a quick work. Have you not heard? The harvest is ready to be picked.. Therefore, I say to you, ‘Stay prepared in Me, and go forth, intentionally, into My harvest field. Drop all things that would hinder you from being My vessels. For I have called you.” Thank you, Father! Bless us all, in Jesus' name, to receive this word from You, and to move with Your Spirit, to bring many into Your kingdom, and into Your eternal kingdom truths. Amen! Meteors Falling from the Sky Winnie Osegueda - 2/14/23 (David's notes in red) Our daughter, Zoé, who is 6 years old, woke up saying she had a crazy dream. She said meteors were falling from the sky and through our ceiling. She said, “One fell on my lap, but I wasn't harmed because Jesus protected me.” (We have been told that we are going through an area of the galaxy in which many meteors would fall to earth and also going through the tail of Planet X would have this affect.) She also said she caught a couple in her hands and it caused her no harm either. (Zoe' means, “God's life”. Those who have God's life will be protected supernaturally through their faith.) She doesn't really know about the things that are about to come so I believe the Lord has been giving her dreams. Our Entire Solar System is Changing Rapidly, But Nobody is Really Talking About It Songs of Ascent - 12/12/22 Strange Sounds - All the major bodies of our Solar System are changing rapidly, but nobody is talking about it. (Historically, Planet X affects all the planets. Hag. 2:6 For thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land.) We are in the upswing of Solar Cycle 25. Could it be related? https://strangesounds.org/2022/12/our-entire-solar-system-is-changing-rapidly-but-nobody-is-really-talking-about-it.html We are seeing rapid observable changes to almost every single planet: Pluto's atmosphere has recently collapsed (Astronomy) Neptune's storms have suddenly begun rotating backwards (SS) and the planet is mysteriously cooling down (SS) Uranus' polar regions are visibly flaring (Texplorist) Jupiter has recently experienced a 700 degree temperature impulse originating from its northern pole, and its great red spot is fading [SS] Mars is suddenly displaying seismic activity (SS) Venus' planetary winds have increased their velocity by 33% in the last 20 years (Space) It goes on from there, we've recently observed: large-scale changes in the ice cover on Jupiter's moon Europa (PhysicsWorld) large-scale changes in the polar ice cap on Mars (SS) Saturn is losing its rings (The Atlantic) a mysterious darkening of the atmosphere of Venus (Astronomy) unusual changes in the temperature and pressure of the atmosphere of Neptune (NASA) a brightening of the atmosphere of Jupiter (AGU) Here on earth, our own magnetosphere is rapidly losing it's strength as our magnetic poles continue to race away from their usual positions, wreaking havoc on animal migrations – See all the beached whales this year as well as the spike in reports of unusual bird sightings. Things have gotten to the point where we are now updating our magnetic models yearly, and soon there will be zones of flux broken bad enough to cause real danger to flying due to constant magnetic reconnection. Our aurorae are reaching levels of intensity not normally seen, with recent high-energy'pink' aurorae being observed. The fundamental electromagnetic nature of this planet – electromagnetism responsible for a variety of effects on life, most especially cardiac and pulmonary health in humans, is changing rapidly. Volcanic activity on our planet is currently at a record, with more and more volcanoes showing [a] concerning lift, erupting, or showing increases in lava flow. Every single active volcano along the pacific rim is showing increased activity. Mount Rainier looks ready soon. The Sisters in Oregon are showing lift. Given only one of two data points, it would be easy to discount the events as isolated and unrelated outliers with no significance. Taken together, however, the total body of evidence becomes impossible to ignore, and, once the presumption is made that this information is known by our leaders, pretty much explains the motivations for their actions. Everything is changing. Nobody is telling you. In fact, they built us a world where these questions are taboo, where every answer leads you away from the glaring, obvious truth. William Casey, former director of the CIA, upon being asked what the goal of the agency was (in 1981) said, “We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false.” We are in the upswing of Solar Cycle 25. All planets are connected to the sun, eg by what NASA calls magnetic flux ropes – stable energetic connections exchange energy in the form of a charged particle stream. These transfer energy and charged material to the planets and drive their rotation. Because the planet's rotation is tied to this inductive transfer, it is highly likely that during the most pronounced moment of a magnetic pole excursion the earth would stop its rotation. This sounds like crazy talk until you read historical accounts of the sun rising in the wrong place. Earthquake/Core relation video: This one addresses both. (THIS COULD HAVE BEARING ON THE BIG QUAKES COMING.) Terrawatch: Why Has the Earth's Spinning Inner Core Slowed Down? Kate Ravilious - 2/22/23 Earth's inner core appears to have stopped spinning faster than its mantle. New measurements suggest that the rotation of the inner core has slowed in recent decades and is now about to reverse direction, spinning more slowly than the mantle. The finding helps to explain recent changes in Earth's magnetic field and the length of day. The Earth's solid inner core is contained within the liquid outer core, enabling it to rotate differently from the Earth itself. Its spin is driven by the magnetic field generated in the outer core, and balanced by gravitational effects within Earth's mantle. Terrawatch: is Earth's core going rusty? Read more By analyzing earthquake seismic waves that have passed through the inner core, researchers were able to calculate how the spin of the inner core has changed since the 1960s. They found that seismic waves have tended to follow a very similar path since about 2009, suggesting that the inner core rotation has paused. The data showed something similar occurred in the early 1970s, indicating that the inner core appears to change in a similar way every few decades. The new finding, which is published in Nature Geoscience, is helping scientists to better understand the interaction between different layers of the Earth, and the impact that processes deep inside the Earth can have on the surface, including the gradual increase in length of day: adding a fraction of a millisecond each year since 2020. By Nikk Ogasa 1/ 23/23 “We see strong evidence that the inner core has been rotating faster than the surface, [but] by around 2009 it nearly stopped,” says geophysicist Xiaodong Song of Peking University in Beijing. “Now it is gradually mov[ing] in the opposite direction.” Uniform Depth Earthquakes Unnatural Missy Pollock Most of the earthquakes in the photo below are unconfirmed, 10 km deep and Dutch-sinse isn't showing most of them in his reports that I've seen. (If they are all 10 km, they are not natural earthquakes but to prepare Earthquakes.) This is the NY / Ala fault, where Sandy and one other dreamed the earthquakes would start crossing America. All of these being uniformly 10 KM deep shows they are not natural earthquakes, but the DS is attempting to make that fault fail. Over by Charlies house the eastern fault was being bombed to make sure it fails when the time comes. By that and fracking they are preparing the quakes to go where they want them to go. Turkey and Syria lost tens of thousands so far from tectonic weapons of DS. It is started. The earth plates are ultimately being moved by God. The Lord told Ken Dewey, “I AM shaking many things and moving things in the ground around, rearranging them. Many changes, [will come] suddenly! Get ready, for the time of my great miracles are come, and many will move to do exploits for Me.” (The Lord is coming for the Bride as this EQ war proceeds.) The Alliance under Trump repatriated the stolen gold and returned it to the nations and the DS wants it back. According to Operation Disclosure: The Khazarian Mafia has been reduced to threatening use of earthquake weapons to force countries to hand over their gold. Indonesian authorities tell us they are being told to hand over gold and other natural resources, or a very large earthquake will occur later this month. The threats came from the Dutch embassy in Jakarta. It was passed on to a high-level official in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Indonesia in Jakarta, Indonesian intelligence sources say. Washington Monument Crumbles Marie Kelton - 2/13/23 (David's notes in red) I had a vision of it being cloudy and foggy around the water that is by the Washington monument. All of a sudden, the vision zoomed in above the water toward the monument. Then the ground shook like an earthquake had happen and the Washington monument cracked in the middle and the top half fell over. I saw this multiple times. (This is the NY/Alabama fault we were speaking of. The Eastern fault that starts it all.) The UAE Deal: Earthquake Sign Michelle Rogers - 10/23/20 (David's notes in red) On January 28, 2020 President Trump held a news conference in D.C with Netanyahu in which the UAE deal was announced. The announcement included plans to give over more territory to the Palestinians provided they met certain conditions. Just about two hours later, a 7.7 earthquake struck in the Caribbean and was felt all the way to Miami Florida where Trump has his famous Mar-a-Lago resort. The quake was so strong that it shook the city to the point that people had to evacuate high rise buildings. I felt in my spirit that the 7.7 quake corresponded to Isa. 7:7 thus saith the Lord Jehovah, It shall not stand, neither shall it come to pass. (Meaning the division of Israel at this time. This also speaks of born again spiritual Israel, the true Church. Eventually Israel will be divided and greater judgment will fall.) Tennessee Cracked in Half Taryn Ezell - 2/20/23 (David's notes in red) I dreamed I was sitting in the car looking out the window as we were driving. I was asking the Lord when these things should be regarding the Tribulation because of what was going on at the Asbury revival. I was praying as we drove to Cracker Barrel. When we got to Cracker Barrel [and went inside], a huge earthquake happened while we were sitting there. I knew in the dream that this was the beginning of the days foretold; days that would have to be shortened to save the elect. I realized that Cracker Barrel had been moved [by the quake] all the way to downtown Maryville. I saw a huge, gaping crack, miles wide in width, and smoke smoldering. There was damage everywhere. The look on peoples faces was that of horror. I tried to call Matt and we talked briefly. Then I called my dad and he said he'd heard about it. But nothing had happened where he was yet. I was given the knowledge that more were coming. More earthquakes would break the US and the world apart. Destruction was everywhere in my location from just one earthquake. It had cracked Tennessee in half. Then I woke up. (At least two fault lines, one on both sides of the TN Valley will separate Tennessee. In our dreams it will be like a boat shaped piece of land in the water. We are in the middle of the boat.) Cutting Off the Flesh Brings Earthquakes Marie Kelton - 8/1/22 (David's notes in red) …I dreamed that I was at Amber's house. I was telling a few people that were there about an earthquake that happened. I was telling them about the fault line but I couldn't remember what it was called, so I grabbed a math book from off of Amber's bookshelf and I looked it up. It said that the fault line was called, “Stratosphere”. The dream changed… and this time I was standing in an open area on the grass (The grass represents the flesh 1Pe. 1:24 For, All flesh is as grass, And all the glory thereof as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower falleth.). I was cutting ham with a meat slicer that I use at work. (Representing cutting off the “unclean” flesh.) I was talking to a person and I was telling them that I was afraid to cut to the meat because I thought it would start the earthquake. (We must cast down our fears of death to self and cut off our flesh. The earthquakes will motivate this. The earthquakes are coming regardless and we need God's divine protection.) I knew in the dream that the area I was in would be the last place the earthquake would hit. Then I woke up. Mat. 24:6-7 "And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars; see that ye be not troubled: for these things must needs come to pass; but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be famines and earthquakes in divers places." These earthquakes will inevitably cause Tsunami's around the globe too. A Gigantic Wave Coming Samuel Fire - 2/22/23 (David's notes in red) I saw Tiannah, myself, and many other UBM brethren standing together on the beach as a group, and behind us, spread all around, were a large crowd of different people that I didn't know. The place was completely full. I saw from afar, a gigantic wave coming. The wave was about 42 stories high. (The beast will persecute the saints for 42 months. Rev. 13:4-5 and they worshipped the dragon, because he gave his authority unto the beast; and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? And who is able to war with him? 5 and there was given to him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and there was given to him authority to continue forty and two months.) All the people that I didn't know began freaking out. Some were screaming and crying and others were trying to run away. All those people were so scared and shocked. All the UBM Brethren were so joyful and excited for this wave to come. It was as if we all had been waiting for this wave. (For us, this wave will bring victory for the kingdom of God in that it will separate the tares from the wheat which will shine forth in the kingdom. Mat. 13:40-43 As therefore the tares are gathered up and burned with fire; so shall it be in the end of the world. 41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that cause stumbling, and them that do iniquity, 42 and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth. (Notice what comes at the end of verse 42 as in 42 months.) 43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears, let him hear. For those who are dead to self there is no fear of the Beast. The end of this 42 months is the coming of the Lord for His saints.) Some of the crowd kept trying to run away to save themselves. A few others fell on their knees in repentance crying to God because they knew they couldn't save themselves or do anything. (God will bring repentance through judgment to His elect.) As the wave came the brethren had special equipment for the water and they had experience and had been trained to ride the wave, so they were prepared and knew exactly what to do. When the wave came, we were gently lifted up and we just surfed the wave, riding it and some were just walking on the water. (1Th. 4:13 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we that are alive, that are left unto the coming of the Lord, shall in no wise precede them that are fallen asleep.) Everyone else, was wiped out from the wave; but we brethren were all calm and having fun and a great time. (Psa. 37:18-20 Jehovah knoweth the days of the perfect; And their inheritance shall be for ever. 19 They shall not be put to shame in the time of evil; And in the days of famine they shall be satisfied. 20 But the wicked shall perish, And the enemies of Jehovah shall be as the fat of lambs: They shall consume; In smoke shall they consume away.) Two Visions of a Wave of Destruction Marie Kelton - 2-17-23 (David's notes in red) Vision #1: During our evening meeting, I had a vision of a city with a few tall buildings in it. There were white cars that were parked in the city. (Representing the righteous who are in the rest.) I then saw a huge wave come in from the right and flood the city. (Judgment begins in the house of God then the wicked are judged as we will see. 1Pe. 4:17 For the time is come for judgment to begin at the house of God: and if it begin first at us, what shall be the end of them that obey not the gospel of God?) Vision #2: Later on in the meeting I had another vision, of people in a city. The people were trying to run away from a huge wave of water that was coming towards them. (God is going to give His people a 3-year grace period during these times to work in Revival for His People and Kingdom. All provision will be given.) Christ, the Only Sure Foundation Samuel Fire - 11/26/22 “My presence will manifest the provision and care for you to work and to sow for My Kingdom. Be prepared as you can feel the quickening and power to flow all over. Sensitivity to Me allows much of an increase and anointing. Keep in the faith and remain vigilant to speak out the Word and truth. Crush the lies and enemy and keep cutting off the world and [the] carnal and remain separate in sanctification. The foundation is Christ. Being rooted and deep without any form or function of doubt or weakness. Strong and zealous with fervent love to Me. Have everything on the complete and clean foundation of My Word. Take hold and do not let yourself be moved by any distraction. Those who are stronger and solidified in Me and My Son and in the power of My Word can then be revealed and grow with the manifestation of the hidden manna. This amazing and wonderful and exciting treasure will be like finding a rare and precious gem than anything that has been encountered before. As such a treasure you would be diligent to share or speak, as everything would come from Me. Pray, as I know of your desires and delight in Me. But pray that you cannot lose your hold on the perfect, clear, and strong foundation of My Word. All and everything you have hidden and done for Me, shall be openly honored, and given back to Me. Not by works or by boasting, but to do so without seeking any fame or recognition. When you offer and uplift Me in everything, I accept and reward it before the next thought. Think on the spiritual aspect of the creation I made for you. I am and you are and we are already together.” (I saw how there is a spiritual meaning to the existence we know. The vessels, the earth, and all the darkness is like a journey through a maze, to find a way to the exit; like a type of game to get closer and walk with our Father. …We encounter and experience more and grow deeper and more advanced in our trials. Yet, the whole time and until eternity it is as though the Almighty Father had already laid it out before we existed. His delight is this constant relationship. He desires to work through all our lives.) I Have Them in My Hands Debbie Fenske - 2/10/23 “You are on the right path, My children, this straight and narrow path. You must consign yourselves to remaining on this path. Keep your mind, and your eyes, and your feet always going forward in Me. You must not deviate from this path, neither to the left, or to the right. Even as I have chosen you, so, you have chosen Me when you walk this path. This path is a high priority walk of sanctification. This, My children, is My Great Divide. Your walk of total sanctification from this world has you entering My great, set-apart, High Calling. My grace is, and will always be, sufficient for you. My grace keeps you desiring to press on into Me, and into the eternal truths, and glorious wonders that lie ahead of you. I sovereignly am taking away from you all burdens, worry, fear, and constant wondering about those you love who are on the other side. I say to you that you need not worry, or be bothered about them, as I have them in My hands. My light will be shining on them as I bring them along the path set for them. Many will also walk My straight and narrow path that I will set before them. They will desire more of Me through My Word. They will desire My ways, and My will, and how to cross My Great Divide, and on to the path of total sanctification. They will understand. Many will not know how to receive my divine truths. But, My grace will enable them to walk in what they know. They, too, are in My hands. So, My children, rejoice, in your Faithful One! For it will all be good. I have not, and will not reject your prayers. By faith, know that these have chosen me, and they will not be without My mercy. As you know, the present evil will become so much worse. Great evil, and darkness. But all who are Mine are in My hands, no matter what befalls them; some to martyrdom; some I will take up to Me, that they escape the sting of death. Stay the course. Stay strong in your faith, and in your trust in Me and My Words to you, which will always be your shield and your protection.” SERVICES Ubbs Outreach Friday Night Worship CONTACT Share Your Testimony Request Prayer Technical Support Questions SUPPORT US We are a non-profit organisation based in United States.

Episode 13: In today's episode, host Jim Ray interviews Dr. Mike H. Ryan, Professor of Management and Rubel's Associate Dean, who also has an extensive background in space-related topics. As private sector activity ramps up, there's a tremendous future available to us. Join us for an interesting conversation about the business of space. Elon Musk's SpaceX recently took 4 civilians into space for the first time. Other high-profile companies such as Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic and Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin are also making inroads in to space exploration. Growing up, Dr. Ryan assumed he might actually take a job in space. As the space race heated up with Sputnik and our mission to the moon, it was hard for him to imagine we wouldn't go back to the moon during the next 50 years. He spent time in the US Air Force, before returning to school. He completed his Master's and PhD. Currently, he's one of the few professors in the US who does research on “space business.” Dr. Ryan is personally acquainted with Max Faget and also astronauts Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong. He's written numerous books and 75-100 publications and has given an extensive number of presentations, generally involving some aspect of space. Space – It's Just a Place The idea of working in space can seem intimidating to many. It all seems so complex, even though we are much less intimidated with the idea of working in the oceans. Dr. Ryan explains that it shouldn't be so difficult to conceptualize. After all, it's just a place. If you think about it, the distance it would take to fly from Louisville to Australia on business (9,963 miles) is actually farther than the distance from earth to the international space station (only 254 miles). Rockets Everything in space is about getting from point A to point B. Rockets are a primary mode of transportation. As our technology evolved, we transferred from rockets to the space shuttle. Over time, the shuttles became less reliable, so we moved back to travel via rockets. Unfortunately, we had not kept up the investment in this mode, so we relied on rockets from other countries (i.e. Russia). Dr. Ryan firmly believes there are many other ways in which we could utilize rocket technology, beyond simply putting satellites into space. There are plenty of opportunities for people to work in space, as well. One of the challenge is making the trip and return trip feasible. Reusability is a key consideration. SpaceX and Blue Origin are proving that reusability is absolutely possible. Over time, reusability reduces the cost of putting people and equipment into space. This opens up the possibility of more frequent visits. The opportunities stretch as far as you can imagine. Rocket propellant (“fuel”) is actually cheaper than people might imagine. It's primarily liquid hydrogen and/or liquid oxygen. Both of those are components of water. There may be other options which we could develop to replace liquid rocket fuel. Dr. Ryan discusses how a “space plane” could be extremely advantageous vs. the rockets we know today. Reusability combined with the ability to take off and land from a variety of locations would reduce the cost of going to low-earth orbit and potentially further. Mining in Space Rare elements, minerals and even water are abundant in space. We think about the moon, but also consider asteroids and even Mars. If we can figure out how to maintain supply levels, we could put many more people into space for an extended period of time. Dr. Ryan discusses how something called a “mass driver” working on an electromagnetic rail system could eliminate the need for rocket fuel to get material into low-earth orbit. The mass driver could launch a payload into orbit. This would provide those supply levels, which could then be used for a variety of purposes and destinations. Dr. Ryan explains that many minerals are extremely abundant in asteroids. He explains that a nickel-iron asteroid the size of UofL's Cardinal Stadium would provide enough iron ore for approximately 100 years. Many asteroids are composed of water. These could also be captured and brought to earth. The opportunities are simply amazing, if we can figure out how to do it economically and efficiently. Solar power satellites could be deployed to beam down a constant source of solar energy to provide extremely inexpensive power to specific locations. In expensive electric power could also facilitate the conversion of sea water to fresh water for food growth and sanitation. Satellites There are approximately 10,000 satellites currently in orbit. There are a couple hundred thousand pieces of space debris. People are already researching how best to deal with the debris. We are currently building constellations of satellites. Elon Musk's team is focusing on communication satellites for cell phones and data. This could dramatically increase speed and availability. Roadblocks to Commercializing Space Interestingly, one of the initial roadblocks has to do with treaties sign by and among countries because, at the time, we really didn't understand the vast opportunities available in space. We simple couldn't imagine it would one day be possible. During the next 5, 10 or 50 years, our ability to begin harnessing space opportunities will increase exponentially. We'll need to find the best way to replace those treaties with some other type of infrastructure. Because of the sheer size of the earth, the gravity well exerts tremendous pull. Escaping this pull and getting into space adds tremendous cost for our current technologies. If we could figure out how to manufacture in space, theoretically, we could reach much further into space at a more economic level. The Impact of Space on Kentucky's Economy Kentucky's number one export is space-related aerospace products. Yes, it outpaces bourbon. We export $12-$13 billion in goods, which helps to maintain 19,000 Kentucky jobs among over 600 companies. Kentucky is #2 in the country for aerospace export. There's a company called Space Tango, located in Lexington, with its own testing facility on the international space station. Where Are We Going from Here? Dr. Ryan concludes the episode with these comments. In 5 years, we may have commercial space stations. Eventually, we'll have a much larger commercial space station. Within 15 years, Dr. Ryan sees us having a permanent lunar base. In 20-25 years, we could have a commercial, lunar base. Transportation breakthroughs will determine the pace of these advancements.

So, it’s been a year since we did one of these lists and I have been head-down watching all the movies I could get my chubby paws on. Did I miss anything? What’s that? A global pandemic? Ugh, see you guys in 2022… In the meantime, here are, in very particular order, the top 10 horror films of 2020. Suck it, you garbage year. 10. Color Out of Space It may be a tradition at this point to have an oddball Nicholas Cage-starring movie on my list, but when you couple him with fellow oddball Richard Stanley and adapt a tricky Lovecraft story into something weird and trippy and slimy, well you have my attention. Stanley is, of course, the director who was famously kicked off the Marlon Brando version of Island of Dr. Moreau, and he returns to feature filmmaking with help. The folks at Spectrevision, namely Elijah Wood, Daniel Noah and Josh Waller, have already promised more from this collaboration, and I couldn’t be more pleased. Stanley has his roots in 80s and 90s filmmaking, and Color Out of Space feels more like a Stuart Gordon movie than most Stuart Gordon movies. It’s full of purples and pinks [...]

In this episode, Shana and Daniel talk about the first episode of Jon Pertwee's tenure: Spearhead From Space. Or, as Shana refers to it, Thunderballs and the Dirty Old Box. We talk about Pertwee as the Doctor, the awesomeness of Liz Shaw, and the beauty of old grifters in Doctor Who. Main Topic: Spearhead From Space. Doctor Who title structure. Shana's experience at Horrorhound in Cincinnati. Daniel doesn't listen when Shana talks. Editorial note: referring to the "RTD Era" more accurately as the "RTD/Gardner Era." A change in format. This podcast at least as academic as Shana's grad classes in creative writing, which in no way precludes use of the term "Thunderballs." What does Shana think of Pertwee's first episode? The history of the show going into season 7. Color Doctor Who as a kind of a shock after the B&W years. Campy Who as a distinct pleasure. The mental real estate occupied by Jon Pertwee. Finally talking about the plot of Spearhead from Space. Who is Sam Seely? Thunderballs! The awesomeness of Liz Shaw. The awesomeness of the Brig. The awesomeness of the Brig and Liz Shaw. The awesomeness of the Third Doctor and Liz Shaw (and the Brig). The joys of the small moments in Classic Who. Shana forgets the plastics factory. Daniel corrects a small detail because, you know, pedantry. Shana compares Spearhead from Space to "Law & Order." Shana giggled like a 14 year old boy. Robert Holmes! Daniel namedrops Doctor Who: The Writer's Room. Shana forgot to mention the plastics factory stuff, but when reminded of it loves it. Derek Martinus just died. Daniel is a bummer. Shana laughs at balls. Daniel explains the ridiculous Nestene plot. Shana talks about Liz Shaw's fashion. Caroline John's age. Shana calls out Daniel's Zoe obsession. Shana really likes sleep. The Doctor and Liz Shaw occupy equal narrative space. Connections between Spearhead/Terror of the Autons and the beginning of the new series. Plastics as a new technology used as an object of ordinary fear. Spearhead and the Pertwee era in general as being very different from the rest of Doctor Who. Daniel edits out the pauses in Shana's side of the conversation. Spearhead as an entry point into the Classic Series. Doctor Who is a sort of continually-rebooted show. What if Matt Smith's Doctor had been a scientific advisor to Torchwood? Pertwee Who as issue-based Who. Why did they go back to using videotape after Spearhead from Space? It feels like a movie. Don't watch all of Pertwee in order. Naked Pertwee! Daniel namedrops "Wizards of Waverly Place." More Sam Seely! A belated but heartfelt RIP to Kate O'Mara. Shana does some social media shoutouts. Not enough time for Shana's fancast. Shana ends with a great Brig/Liz Shaw exchange. Next week: The Eleventh Hour. Why we should refer to the RTD Era as the RTD/Gardner Era
