The Definitions of Social Capital.

What is 'Social Capital'?   The link below provides an in depth look at what this is.  It is an interesting subject.

DEFINITIONS OF SOCIAL CAPITAL  

Dekker and Uslaner (2001) posited that social capital is fundamentally about how people interact with each other. *Dekker, Paul, and Eric M. Uslaner. 2001. ‘Introduction.’ Pp. 1 – 8 in Social Capital and Participation in Everyday Life, edited by Eric M. Uslaner. London: Routledge.

Where did we come from? A close look at DNA connections through anthropology.

The DNA uncovers the history through the dodecahedron of cells we carry in common with each other.  I am sincerely interested in the Anthropology of people and our ancient connections that make us one great big family.   The connection of Father God and Mother Nature .. the eternal queen and king that lures us on into the unknown of our future.

This search has been central to finding the truth of culture and who we are and where we came from.  I was very excited when DNA was first discovered in modern times because this is the key to the truth. 

Even when the truth is presented to the world there will still be those who are biggotted and refuse to believe we are all from one great big family.

The Aboriginal people in Australia have had some DNA testing similar and it is not a popular past time because a people who are still struggling against the tyranny of the British Rule are not keen to accept that their very own past  reveals they may have been neighbors once on another part of the planet in another place and time.  The origin of Haplogroup X is the foot hills of Galilee. 

Phylogenetics is based on a mathematical projections on how the mitochondria mutates.

Happy 18th Birthday Montana-Star Christina Baldwin

Today is her 18th Birthday and that is quite a milestone in any of our lives and I remember when I turned 18 and it seems like yesterday really. 

2014 Birthday Meme for Montana-Star's 18th Birthday

Montana has organised a party at her house and all of her friends are coming as well as her sister Matilda who lives in Cessnock South of here.

I am having a special commemorative Happy 18th Birthday Montana Radio Show later on today and that will be wonderful as I use those two hours to dedicate the entire show to her and all of her favorite artists and songs with Stars in the name or something that reminds me of Montana.

So it is official I am the mother of all adult children now.  Montana is my youngest child and now she is an adult too.  She got her "L" Plates last week which is great because now perhaps I can teach her to drive a bit.

Photon tuning time . .

22/7  The hermetic code is the CODE of DNA. 

 

 Music is what unites all of this?  RESONANCE!   I had a vision of the men and the yidake and that was still no mistake and the sound must go out over this great land and it will smash this apart in the spirit realm.  Men feeling hopeless can pick up the instrument where ever they are in the country and the spirit realm will be effected.

Now is the time to do everything   possible to lift your resonance.  Get a drum and beat it.  Pick up anything, Spoons even.  Men play your Yidake.  The spirit is calling us up to another level with this.   We have to have faith in our ability to do this.

Rhythm can develop this.  A new sound will change everything.  This is in my opinion and I feel confident and have done for 18months now.  Getting Australia behind it is a challenge to say the least.

Dealing with Difficult People

Quantum Jumping
At one time or another we all have to deal with difficult people.

The epitome of difficult -- dealing with my ex husband John B.

The Whiner.  The Victim.  The Steam Roller.  The Know-it-All.  The Cry Baby.  And let’s not forget Sarcastic Sam.

Some difficult people become Masters specializing in just one technique – others do their damage by mixing it up.  No matter what the “technique”, most difficult people have the same goal:  they crave power and control over people and situations.

Additionally, not all difficult people you may have to deal with are difficult all the time.  For that matter, if you’re honest, it is most likely that, with very little thought, you can conjure up a time or two when you were a little difficult to deal with yourself.

No matter whether confronting an “always” difficult Know-it-All boss, or an occasionally Sarcastic Sam (or Samantha) Spouse – you are not defenseless.  The following are a few suggestions for dealing with both full and part-time difficult people.

Don’t Take it Personally

Ironically, one of the most useful techniques is not to become defensive when defending ourselves from the damage difficult people attempt to dish out to us.  Difficult people feed on the energy of our defensiveness.  The more angry or upset we become, the more in control the difficult person feels.

We become defensive when we take things personally.  When we take everything a difficult person is capable of dealing out personally we become frustrated and tend to express our defensiveness via our own negative responses such as anger or perhaps guilt.

The next time you are dealing with a difficult person focus not on how to defend yourself – instead focus on remaining calm.  Remaining calm is a signal to the difficult person that you are not relinquishing control.  It may take quite a few “sessions” – but if this technique is used consistently and repeatedly, the difficult person comes to understand that you are your own person with your own power and do not make it a practice of relinquishing control to others.

Walk a Mile in Their Moccasins

No matter how difficult a person may be, taking a moment to muster a little empathy is huge when it comes to creating positive outcomes when dealing with difficult people.  Don’t be stingy when it comes to making an effort to empathize with a difficult person.

Getting the needs met is important for curing being "DIFFICULT"

Most difficult people are difficult because they have needs that are either not being met or they think aren’t being met.  A sarcastic co-worker who mocks your work may suffer from extreme insecurity.  While you certainly can’t expect difficult people to share their true motivation for being difficult, quite often an empathetic response can help to soften their demeanor towards you.

Take Care of Yourself

Not taking it personally and showing empathy when dealing with difficult people can be very useful.  However, perhaps the most useful technique when dealing with difficult people is creative visualization.  And, while creative visualization may be the last technique mentioned here, it is actually the first technique to employ before attempting not taking a difficult person personally and instead attempt to show them some empathy.

Learning to live with negativity is never easy -- needs unmet.

Difficult people are negative people – and it is important to protect yourself from the negative energy difficult people throw at you.  You not only have a responsibility to attempt to come to a positive resolution with a difficult person, your first responsibility is to respect yourself and protect yourself from their negative energy.  Creative visualization can be a very effective means to do just that.

For instance, the next time you have to deal with your Know-it-All boss visualize yourself placing a bullet (and negativity) proof wall between you.  Starting your day by visualizing yourself surrounded by a protective bubble or aura is also very powerful.  Or perhaps you visualize yourself as King or Queen and are protected by a moat surrounding the thick walls of your castle.

Me and Gary

The very practice of visualizing you are protected from difficult people creates the positive energy necessary to deal with difficult people effectively.

Why do we shout in Anger?

Because the Government's heart and the peoples hearts are so distanced, a lot of shouting is going on.

A Hindu saint who was visiting river Ganges to take a bath, found a group of family members on the banks, shouting in anger at each other. He turned to his disciples smiled and asked.

'Why do people shout in anger shout at each other?'

Disciples thought for a while, one of them said, 'Because we lose our calm, we shout.'

'But, why should you shout when the other person is just next to you? You can as well tell him what you have to say in a soft manner.' asked the saint

Disciples gave some other answers but none satisfied the other disciples.

Finally the saint explained, .

'When two people are angry at each other, their hearts distance a lot. To cover that distance they must shout to be able to hear each other. The angrier they are, the stronger they will have to shout to hear each other to cover that great distance.

What happens when two people fall in love? They don't shout at each other but talk softly, Because their hearts are very close. The distance between them is either nonexistent or very small...'

The saint continued, 'When they love each other even more, what happens? They do not speak, only whisper and they get even closer to each other in their love. Finally they even need not whisper, they only look at each other and that's all. That is how close two people are when they love each other.'

He looked at his disciples and said.

'So when you argue do not let your hearts get distant, Do not say words that distance each other more, Or else there will come a day when the distance is so great that you will not find the path to return.

The Vee Ness Soap Opera - It's better than TV!!

by Melissa Green

This entire Soap Opera has become ridiculous.

Taking over 2bbb internet instead..  from interview to internet.

For the record:

I do not believe Bill intends to kill Vee. 

I do not believe Bill has stalked Vee. 

I do not believe Vee was pregnant. 

I do not believe anything Vee says now. 

I do believe Vee may be mentally unstable.

I do believe Vee is stalking and harassing Bill.

I’ve watched this drama unfold for months now - and watched Vee provoke Bill time and time again - and have now investigated this for the past week, trying to get to the truth.  

This has become personal, as in the course of investigating, I discovered Vee’s been slandering me around my network since early 2013 whilst pretending to be my friend and fellow "warrior for the cause".  Therefore, due to being slandered in public, by Vee Ness, I’ve now been forced to respond, not only in own defense of who I am and my actions, but also in Bill Bunting's defense.

Basic story is this

It appears Vee Ness lured this man over from the US, a Bill Bunting.  She encouraged him to believe he had (in her) a new love, a new woman, and a new life in a new country.  Things went pear-shaped and Bill tried to leave her.  Vee has continued to stalk, harass and slander Bill all over Face Book ever since.

I’ve known Bill Bunting, via FB, since the beginning of the Glenugie protest.  I met him through Vee.

This relationship between Vee & Bill was never smooth sailing – I’ve been witness to that – and it’s been going on since November 2012 or before.  I've also witnessed how disrespectfully Vee treated her previous "boyfriend" - I heard her talk to him and friends have seen Vee slap him.

On his current visit to Australia, Bill tells me Vee attacked him one evening (he fell over in self defense and broke the computer).  She tells people it was hers... and that it belonged to her supposed "late husband", but it was given to Vee by a friend of mine.

Did you also know that Vee has many different Face Book profiles?  She pretends to be different people.   One she uses is a "Creeative Manifest" profile - she has told people it belonged to her "late husband"... (and that's another story for another time too).

Bill tells me she has been stalking and harassing him ever since they "broke up" on Face Book, via texts and via the NSW Police Department. She saw Bill talking to Mary-Ellen the other day about trains and assumed he was "on his way to kill her" so she called the police.  I can testify that Bill was at Ian's place.

I’ve seen evidence of this all over her Face Book page in the past months.

Now folks remember that Vee Ness was seen slapping her last “boyfriend” in public at the Glenugie protests. 

It’s not good to slap your “boyfriend”.  It’s not good to slap any man. (Many people witnessed how badly she treated him - with no respect.)  I’d mention that man’s name, but I believe he is quite embarrassed about the entire episode now.  In fact, he tells a similar story to what Bill does.

According to Bill, he tried to fix the relationship – as you would – then he realised that this wasn’t going to work, so he tried to separate from her – he left to go and stay with other friends. 

Then the stalking, harassment and slander began.  And all the “drama queening” on her profile. (which has now been locked down).  Vee also targeted and harassed Bill’s other friends, making it all very uncomfortable.  Many well respected people out there in the community have been her targets/victims.

In fact, this is how Vee presents, as a “professional victim”. "Look at me, look at me"  "help!"

Now, granted, some of Bill’s reactions may not have been appropriate. 

But the poor man is under extreme stress.  If you think about it from his side and as if he WAS innocent, think about how this would be affecting him?  

How would all this constant slander affect you?  How would YOU react?  When you've tried to be a gentleman?

There have been constant attacks of slander all over FB from Vee about Bill.   I've seen them.

Vee uses very low tactics, like pulling in Bill’s daughter into the "fight" and harassing Bill's mother by phoning her about “this” phantom pregnancy and how Bill is not "doing the right thing" by her. 

Below is a link to a post where you can see how Vee pushed this along (whilst pretending otherwise).  You can how she is trying to provoke him - and everybody - and I can now see that Bill had issues with his daughter because he chose to leave his family and come over here for Vee... and Vee knows about this.

From Bill's daughter, Jessica:

"Jessica Bunting about a minute ago · ..

You never know your outlook on a situation until it's explained and you understand. I promise once you understand something, your mindset on it might be different. I've always thought my dad was crazy. I've built up feelings that I never knew I could feel towards him. But now that I understand his purpose, I'm more thankful than ever to call him my dad. Even though he's still crazy. There are dads out there that work for a living. They're firefighters, police, machinists, etc. But my dad is a freedom fighter and he doesn't just work for a living. He works for all of us that ARE living. He thinks of nothing less than saving this planet, for a safe and healthy environment, for the life, liberty and freedom of us, HIS PEOPLE. His huge heart and big dreams will do nothing but benefit us. So yes, I judged him. But now, I stand beside him."

What Vee wrote about his daughter yesterday, 30 August - also please bear in mind that Bill, Mary-Ellen, Ian and myself are blocked from seeing this (so how can we answer to defend ourselves?):

Here is the link:
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=417507518367264&set=a.101162813335071.1391.100003240572827&type=1&comment_id=999516&offset=0&total_comments=119&ref=notif&notif_t=mentions_comment


Unfortunately, whilst provoked (once again) Bill responded today with this, after his daughter called him from the States, distressed by all this - I'm not sure what Vee had sent Jessica to get this reaction though:

"

HERE IS THE REAL VEE NESS AUSTRALIA

ATTACKING MY 17 YR OLD DAUGHTER
KEEP HER..AND ALL LIKE HER
BUT KNOW THIS ISNT OVER

[from/posted by]::: Jessica Bunting :::

Why would you even consider sending me that. Look Vanessa. Me and my father had issues. For I was confused and angry with him. That is between me and my father.  NOT YOU.

My dad is a remarkable man and he is loved by most people there. So don't you dare make him out to be a traitor. You're a very strange woman and I only hope that God does his job with you. You keep away from my dad. Don't say his name. Don't bash him over social media. And don't try to turn everyone against him.

It's only making you look worse. You've lied about me, saying I called you crying about him when I never did. Should I put that for everyone to see? So they know you're a liar? You've twisted my words many of times and I don't appreciate it making it look like he's been lying about being the perfect father. Well he is and he's more of a parent than you could think about being.

Stop claiming my fathers child. There's no possible way you could've been carrying his child. Give up Vanessa and stop trying to drive my father into the ground because you have skeletons in your closet.

If he doesn't make it back to me because of something you've done, ill make you think you're living your night terrors. Have a good day, mate "

If "guilty", Bill is only guilty of responding, “re-acting” to Vee – and he should have cut contact with her ages ago. 

And this is basically what happened.  He cut contact and the harassment began.

Again,

I do not believe he intends to kill Vee.
I do not believe he has stalked Vee.
I do not believe Vee was pregnant.
I do not believe anything Vee says now.
I do believe she may be mentally unstable.
I do believe Vee is stalking and harassing him.

What Vee is doing is wrong and she seems to be prodding him, provoking him to hurt her, again and again and again. It looks like she WANTS Bill to hurt her.

I think she is very sick.

More later... to be continued with "My experience with Vee Ness"!

Singer Pete Murray says he was 'shocked' to learn about CSG

SINGER Pete Murray was mobbed by young girls as he waited to perform at the Rock the Gate rally at Murwillumbah Showground on Saturday.
But the mild-mannered Murray took it all in his stride.
He admits he knew little about the coal-seam gas mining debate until recently.
"A friend of mine filled me in on the issue," he said.
"I have to say I was pretty shocked when I heard about the possible effects of the process.
"I think it's great to see so many people coming together to object.
"Someone has to take a stand and the thousands of people at the rally certainly made their point.
"There was such a diversity of people at the rally. It was very impressive."
There's some debate over just how many people attended the rally, with anything from 1500 to 6500 being tossed around.
The ABC reported over 4000.
Cabarita resident Michele Parker said she felt there were about 5000 people at the rally.
"Not everyone was in the march," she said.
"A good 1000 or so people were at the showground doing other things.
"I just know there was a heck of a lot of people making their point."
Organiser Michael McNamara said he felt there was a good 4500.
"The march numbers increased as people joined on the way, so there were many more at the end of the march," he said.
Mr McNamara said he was elated with the success of the rally.
"I'm also exhausted," he said.
"It took a lot of organising and I can't thank the volunteers and performers enough for their efforts.
"It was so good to see such talented people show their support and to have such an impressive line-up of performers."
by Mairi Manley

 

Rally's will be an important way to educate people there is something really really wrong with this kind of mining practice when they finally wake up that it will really hurt them in ways they will never recover from.  Even the rich in this area are vulnerable as a lot of the rich and wealthy in this area live in a rural setting.

Being classy is NOT about being stuck up, but more so about having a simply unique style that will never be forgotten. To be classy is to have respect; respect for others, respect for elders and most of all respect for yourself.

Unknown..


That was very thought provoking and I am clear that being classy is not about the cloths you wear.  It is about your attitude and whether it is an attitude of gratitude.
Being a class act is another kettle of fish.  Being a class act means you are very funny or you stand out from the rest of the minions. 
Saying to someone, "That is classic", similarly means what is being discussed is to be held up.  That it is something that really makes you think or laugh... its classic!
 Pictured above is Pip.  He is a classic.  He was before his treacherous accident and he is the same afterwards.  He has seen and done a lot of things in his somewhat classic life.

Political language... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.

George Orwell..

It is a new month.  Another chance perhaps to get things right.  The month of September has a lot of memories for me.  I am sort of glad this September month is over and looky looky, October is here now.  Whoa where has 2012 gone?

 

For me I have spent most of it doing extremely extensive study.  So many things all at once.  This becomes a little overwhelming but the kind of thing I love.  I need constant change to feel ok in the world and I love to see transformation.  I look for it and therefore even house work is fun to me.

Everything in this existence that we can see and some that we cannot is all governed by sound waves.  Sound moves great objects and small.  I am going to write about my own thoughts on this sound energy.  It is in nature.  It is all around us and its in tiny minute particles of everything from the tiniest amoeba to the largest animal you can imagine.

Dogs have an amazing capacity to pick up sounds.  The messages on the breeze.

I love this subject so much.  I want to start with the a biblical quote from the very beginning of the bible where it says - In the beginning there was the word  and the word was God.  That is 1John 1:1 

Now that is sound, that word mentioned there.  Its the biblical version of events.  They tidied it up a bit.
Its all about what God said,  if God said it then this was sound.  Sound is responsible.  Our DNA can be likened to musical signatures or musical notes.  There is a similar number coding.

Genesis 1:14  New International Version (©1984)

And God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark seasons and days and years.

Soundwave is a festival promoted by Triple J the radio station,  I would love to go to that.  Just saying.
I always say that as people we are just beings of light, light is sound and therefore we are beings who are governed also by the sounds we hear.  I understand how the senses of a profoundly deaf person are heightened in other areas.  The body is an amazing piece of work.
