www.megalithomania.co.uk – Filmed at the Megalithomania Conference in Glastonbury on 8th May 2010 by Nautilus AV Productions. Description: Francine will share her latest findings on the connections between the modern crop circle phenomena and ancient rock carvings from the Neolithic era. She will explore the meaning conveyed by the sacred geometry, advanced mathematics and ancient symbology in crop circles and how these symbols are connected with the megalithic cultures of Wessex, Brittany and other parts of the world over five thousand years ago. Biog: Born in Montreal, Canada, Francine Blake majored in Classical Studies at college and studied Fine Art at l’Ecole des Beaux Arts de Montreal. She has always sought knowledge, and spent twenty years studying ancient wisdom in a school of self-development brought to the West in 1917 by George Ivanovitch Gurdjieff. Introduced to crop circles in 1987, Francine was immediately attracted to them, recognizing many of the symbols she had been studying. She joined the Centre for Crop Circle Studies (CCCS) in 1991, and in 1992 moved to Wiltshire with her family to be closer to the phenomenon. In 1995, she started the Wiltshire Crop Circle Study Group (WCCSG), where she was elected coordinator, a post she still occupies. She edits The Spiral, the monthly newsletter for the WCCSG, and designs and produces an annual Crop Circle Calendar. She lectures extensively and has given many interviews on radio and television. She lives in the …

Integrative Biology 131: General Human Anatomy. Fall 2005. Professor Marian Diamond. The functional anatomy of the human body as revealed by gross and microscopic examination. The Department of Integrative Biology offers a program of instruction that focuses on the integration of structure and function in the evolution of diverse biological systems. It investigates integration at all levels of organization from molecules to the biosphere, and in all taxa of organisms from viruses to higher plants and animals. The department uses many traditional fields and levels of complexity in forging new research directions, asking new questions, and answering traditional questions in new ways.

A University of Alberta researcher has devised a new theoretical approach to studying phantom traffic jams. Normally a traffic tie-up happens when vehicles reach a bottleneck and traffic flow is reduced, or in the case of an accident, halted completely. Phantom traffic jams are created by something as simple as a single driver tapping lightly on the brakes inadvertently starting a chain reaction of over-braking by drivers in the following vehicles. Eventually a long line of traffic comes to a complete stop. On major freeways in North America, phantom traffic jams can involve hundreds of vehicles and can snarl traffic for hours.

Does science really have the answer to EVERYTHING? I don’t think so, and here’s PROOF! Andrea and I have decided to start a series where we take a few basic scientific principles.. and prove them wrong. Today’s example is the ancient Greek principle, Zeno’s Paradox, which is some sort of crazy belief involving heroes and reptiles. Enjoy!

Ah, genetics. Besides certain physical characteristics, men of the Gosling family have also passed along strong personality traits. Most noticeably, bullheadedness. With a world begging for more of their rare Bermuda rums, they have obstinately refused to accelerate the secret family process in the interest of mere volume. Which is why you’ll find this the most complex, refined family of rums you have ever sipped. Presuming, that is, you can find it. As one of the members of the seventh generation to steer the Bermudian family business since its 1806 inception, Nancy Lloyd Gosling is President and CEO of Gosling Brothers Limited and Gosling’s Limited. Nancy is the innovator and driving force behind the company’s local expansion in the wine, beer and spirits business. Before her appointment as the company’s first female President and CEO, Nancy received a Bachelor of Commerce from Dalhousie University and later a CGA title. Nancy is the mother of two children. Charles Richard Gosling is Vice President and Managing Director of Gosling Brothers Limited and Gosling’s Limited.
