Geological hazards specialist McGuire comments: “What is certain is that at some point in the future the west flank of the Cumbre Vieja on La Palma will collapse, and the resulting tsunamis will ravage the entire Atlantic rim.”

He adds that “Steven Ward of the University of California at Santa Cruz and Simon Day of University College London’s Benfield Greig Hazard Research Centre created quite a stir recently when they published a scientific paper that modelled the future collapse of the Cumbre Vieja and the passage of the resulting tsunamis across the Atlantic. . . . Without considerable forward planning it is unlikely that the nine hours it will take for the waves to reach the North American coastline will permit effective, large-scale evacuation, and the death toll is certain to run into millions if not tens of millions. Furthermore, the impact on the US economy will be close to terminal, with the insurance industry wiped out at a stroke and global economic meltdown following swiftly on its heels.”

SPITEFUL SPIRITS

For centuries the ancients believed that volcanic eruptions expressed the dissatisfaction of the gods. Accordingly, they would offer a sacrifice–generally animal or human–in hopes of appeasing those gods and preventing catastrophes.

Throughout most of human history, natural disasters have been attributed to supernatural intervention. Andrew Robinson, in his book Earth Shock: Hurricanes, Volcanoes, Earthquakes, Tornadoes and Other Forces of Nature (2002), comments on this phenomenon:

“In Europe, earthquakes were God’s punishment for sin–according to the Church at least. When a gigantic one laid waste Lisbon in November 1755, the Inquisition responded by roasting the survivors in the fires of the auto-da-f [literally “act of faith,” public execution ceremonies]; while the pessimist Voltaire published first a poem and then, in 1759, his famous story Candide. Both works attacked the Pope–for attributing the earthquake to Man’s lack of faith in God–and also the German philosopher and mathematician Leibniz–who optimistically held that God must have sent the earthquake as part of His plan for the Earth. Why Lisbon? Why not decadent London or Paris? questioned Voltaire in the poem: ‘Lisbon lies in ruins, while in Paris they dance.'”

Even today natural disasters are often referred to as “acts of God.” But is this how such occurrences should be viewed? Are these tragic events from the hand of a spiteful, cruel and angry God who flings natural disasters to earth with the express intention of inflicting suffering on weak and erring humans? Alternatively, are such catastrophes a sign of the end of the world?

NEW WORLD ORDER

In the Bible God describes Himself as a gentle, loving, caring Father who has mercy and compassion on His children (Psalm 103:8, 13). He states that He wants all humanity to prosper and be in health. He expresses Himself as a Being who wants to create a world in which everyone can live in peace and safety, free from the fears of either natural catastrophes or man-made calamities caused by wrong ways of life or misuse of the earth’s natural resources (Isaiah 32:17-18).

Environmental Science Fair Project

There are increasing numbers of students who are choosing an environmental science fair project for their school assignments. Hardly a day goes by that there is not some sort of news event on the television regarding the problems we are facing with the environment. These students are choosing an environmental science fair project for school because they are interested in studying this area of science. Many of these students are very devoted to finding solutions to the current environmental crises. They have the long term vision that many adults lack by realizing that what we do now will affect the planet in a positive or negative way for years, decades, and/or centuries to come. They are taking this devotion to the cause and choosing an environmental science fair project as their topic of study.

An environmental science fair project can be presented on a wide variety of specific topics. Issues surrounding soil use and preservation are some of the most popular. These issues deal with loss of topsoil, which is where all the plant life is grown. This type of environmental science project can also examine the effects of runoff on the waterways of the world. The silting of rivers is a major concern due to the detrimental effects to plants and animals that rely on oxygenated water for survival. An environmental science fair project may also cover the issues surrounding the use of pesticides and other chemicals on the soil and surrounding wildlife. Students who demonstrate aptitude in these areas will likely continue their passion into their careers as agricultural scientists.

Other students who choose an environmental science fair project could focus on the latest increases in greenhouse gases around the Earth. While the task may sound too monumental for an environmental science fair project, there are ways to scale down the project. These projects are scientifically accurate and if properly implemented and documented can lead to the answers we are in need of to address this issue. Likewise, the study of animals such as frogs can lead to knowledge that can be applied on a larger scale. Frogs are the litmus paper for the health of water, and students can gather information in their local areas to determine the health of ponds and streams.

PressRelease) The Sacred Science Institute has just released “The Law of Cause and Effect: Creating A Planetary Price-Time Map of Market Action” by Italian market expert Daniele Prandelli. The text provides breakthrough insights into W.D. Gann’s price-time relationships. Illustrated with over 160 charts and graphs.

Idyllwild, CA – The Sacred Science Institute is pleased to announce the release of the “The Law of Cause and Effect: Creating a Planetary Price-Time Map of Market Action,” by Italian market researcher and trader Daniele Prandelli. The text unveils some of W.D. Gann’s most closely held planetary price-time secrets.

Through the autumn and winter of 1948, W. D. Gann hand charted the May 1949 Soybean futures contract traded on the Chicago Board of Trade (Fig. 1). Unlike much of Gann’s work, this chart survived and is publicly available from numerous sources. Many analysts have commented on this chart and a number of them have cited Gann’s use of planetary longitude in the attached chart.

Using the same chart, certain planetary lines drawn by Gann have been highlighted, as defined by the color key (see Fig. 2), showing exactly what each of these lines represents. Today, we’ve come to know these lines as “planetary price lines.” Prandelli unravels the correct application of this most intriguing, yet least understood and poorly applied principle of the great W. D. Gann. Many people have experimented with this technique and a number of software programs have functions that produce variations on this application. However, few have been able to demonstrate the true potential of this powerful tool to produce consistent tradable results.

Prandelli introduces serious traders and market researchers to the proper conversion factor never revealed by Gann. With the unveiling of this means of price-time projection, any trader or researcher can plot useful data on modern day charts with their extended price scales. The result is a fully functional tool for modern traders who are often overwhelmed with too much indecipherable, inconsistent or unreliable data.

Gann never spoke in detail about this technique. The few references from him appear only on some of his most complex and messy charts, such as shown in Fig. 1. Only the most astute Gann analysts have even deciphered and reverse engineered some of what Gann was doing in these charts. Unfortunately, these attempts have rarely provided a fully functional tool for modern traders. However, with the missing Key provided by Prandelli’s revealing research, those who purchase this text will have a straight forward forecasting tool and a logical trading strategy.

Prandelli illustrates the tools he presents with over 160 market charts and diagrams. Most of these charts focus on the S&P 500. However, the book also presents extensive material on other markets. The tools Prandelli reveals apply to any market to which a trader or analyst wishes to apply them, and work in multiple time frames from intraday to long term. Prandelli also presents a number of cyclic timing tools to help traders identify important timing points in the market which correlate with the pricing tools to help identify important high probability trading points.

Purchasers of the text will be granted access to an Online Research & Education Forum providing direct interaction with Prandelli. Participants exchange charts, ask questions, and receive guidance directly from Prandelli. Sacred Science also provides reference to two software tools traders and analysts can use to implement Prandelli’s methods. To learn more, visit the Sacred Science website.

This is the era of science and a number of men and women seem fascinated towards the future inventions of technology. It has given birth to a new genre of writing, which we know today as science fiction. You can find a huge demand of science fiction paperbacks on exploring any online books store.

These novels ornovellas are being written since more than a century. In the Victorian age, authors like Jules Verne and H.G. Wells started writing the stories of the science fiction. Time travel fiction was commenced during that era also. Wells wrote his famous novel, The Time Machine, which inspired a number of books and films composed in the future; however, A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens written in 1843 is thought to be the first depiction of modern time travel fiction. Besides, Wells wrote the novellason several other modern fictions also like the invasion of the aliens on the earth. His famous book The War of the Worlds is the example of such novellas. Similarly, Jules Verne also wrote a number of other novels, such as Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea and Journey to the Center of the Earth.

After the end of Victorian Era, more developments were witnessed in the genre of science fictions. The Victorian era books were highly dependent on steam technology, and most of the technology was shown being run through the steam power. But, as the technology literally became more advanced, some other technologies also came in limelight, such as electric power, computers and more. These new inventions were reflected in the modern era science fiction books also.

Today also a number of books are being written on science fiction. A huge demand modern as well as early modern (Victorian, Edwardian etc.) books on science fiction can be witnessed in the market. The science fictions of Wells have been provided together in the paperbacks under the title Science Fiction Vol 1 and more. Besides, the collection of the fictions by various authors can be read in the paperback named Science Fiction and Fantasy. Some of the paperbacks also talk about the science fiction films of the modern era. Many other books can be acquired on this genre from a number of stores.

It will be beneficial for you today ifyou buy books online as they provide you a number of benefits. First, you may get some discounts, which may be unavailable in case of conventional shopping. On the other hand, you may get a collection of number of novellasin a single paperback, about which you may not be aware but you can know easily about them through the online methods.

Science is considered the arena reserved for people who are intelligent. We often think it is only students who are brilliant in their studies that enjoy and understand the subject. Unfortunately, these are only myths. Just every student can enjoy the subject if he is given a means to appreciate it. Science projects are a brilliant way to attract the students towards the subject. It gives them scope to explore and enjoy the subject making it a wonderful learning experience. If you, as a participant, learn through working on the project, it is the audience that learns through evaluating them. So how do you make your science project board attractive to the audience?

The first and the most crucial step towards making your project a success is the selection of a science project board. This may seem to be obvious but you must work on the details of the board to know exactly which board can suit you best. You have several options like using chart paper of poster boards for your project, but projects that are showcased by using project boards designed for this purpose make for the most impressive displays. These boards help you organize the information in such a way that your audience gets a chance to grasp every detail of the project.

Secondly, remember that the science project board is only a place holder and you have to work on making it look attractive. This involves several aspects, the main among them being the layout of information. The display boards give you maximum scope to display all information related to the project but it is up to you to decide which content should be displayed on the board. You must ensure that you enable your audience to comprehend every detail through pictures and statistics that substantiate your work. These do not just make for attractive presentations but also make it enjoyable.

Subtle aspects like the font size, the borders etc matter when you want your science project board to stand out from the rest. The board should be a mixture of creativity and facts to keep the audience glued to it till the last word. The font size should be such that it is clear and legible to the audience. The font style adopted should be in synch with your project. You can use pictures and colors but an overuse of the same can take the focus off your project. Judge the important points and highlight them with colors. Use an overall theme while designing your display board to bring in variations in the presentation.

Finally, remember that the stationery you use while working on your science project board can contribute immensely towards the success of your project. You will find several science display board kits available in the market today. It gives you a chance to buy all the things you will need to work on the project at one go. Make the best of smart solutions like this and win accolades for your project.
