Waching daily Feb 13 2017

May I pause just a moment And explain to women

Something that you probably never hear men say

Because some men are not

articulate enough to say it Some are not thoughtful

enough to speak it And Most are too

private to admit it,But it is real hard to be a man

and you have a whole lot of materials and information

that unearth the challenges you go through

and I am not minimizing the challenges that

you go through, at all because you go through

a whole lot but just let me

tell you, so that no offence

you have never spent not one day, as a man

let me inform you quite clearly

and emphatically that it is

HARD

hard to be a man that is why most give up on it

most quit most faint from it

most fall because of it and almost all of us die

trying to do it oh yes

the devil is out to destroy men If you look around this room

You will find many Saged, aged men

Go to your family reunions And you will see big mama

And aunt Kieze And they all standing around in the kitchen

talking about Girl, Is that chicken done yet?

I don't know mama Let me turn it over in a minute

get that bread out the oven before it burn

But have you ever asked yourself?

Where are Grandpapa?

And Big Poppa?

And Uncle Willie?

Where, what happened To Cousin James

What happened to our Generation

That there are few old men left?

That means we have few compasses To chart the course

And to lead us through the maze

of trying to get to our destination on time

We have many men Who model to us

How to get started But few that model to us

How to finish Show us

How to make it Through, The different ages

And stages of life Because the challenges of a 20-year-old

Is far different from the challenges

of a 50-year-old Is far different from

the challenges of a 70-year-old

and you need somebody who has been there

to coach you 'through the process

and look you in the mirror and say keep coming boy

I know you lost your Job but you can do this

Keep coming Don't give up

Come on boy Come on

I know your feelings is hurt

Come on Come on

No, You not gonna be able to do

what you used to 15 years ago

You are not supposed to You are going to have to re-adjust

And develop a new normal Come on

Come on Come on

If you come on You are going to get through this

Don't give up Don't follow her

She is not the answer She is a trick

Keep coming This way

We don't I am gonna talk to you tonight

See you and big momma can seat around

While yall Picking collard greens

And you can talk to her And she can tell you something

And there is an old woman Standing on every corner

Full of advice Ready to tell you

Girl This is what you ought to do

But we have few fathers Few compasses

Few teachers Few Leaders

Few guides And that is why

We have been lost in the Journey of becoming what

we are created to be We get lost

In the process Some as early

As 15 and 16 Years old

get lost in the maze of masculinity

some make it to 30 and collapse in the bush of despair

There is nobody coaching us Saying not that way

Go this way Come on

Go this way Come on

Go this way Go this way

men are not articulate enough to say it

Some are not thoughtful enough to speak it And Most are too private to admit it

But

it is real hard to be a man

Where does TCE go in the body? - Duration: 1:03.

Whether you breathe in contaminated air, drink contaminated water, or soak your skin in TCE liquid,

TCE is readily absorbed into your body and gets into your bloodstream.

Once in your blood, TCE travels throughout your body, but will favor tissues with a good

blood supply, such as your liver, lungs, and kidneys, as well as tissues that contain more

fat, such as your brain and body fat.

Most of the TCE that gets in your body is metabolized, or chemically broken down,

primarily in the liver.

Other organs and tissues, especially your kidneys, also breakdown some TCE.

Unfortunately, many of the breakdown products are toxic and cause health problems.

While some of the TCE that's absorbed into the body is exhaled from your lungs unchanged,

most is excreted as breakdown products in the urine.

TCE Overview - Duration: 2:18.

Trichloroethylene, or TCE, is a man-made chemical.

It's primarily used as a solvent.

TCE is a clear, colorless liquid with a sweet, fruity odor.

We've made it green in the illustrations.

TCE is considered a volatile organic compound, or VOC, because it evaporates easily into the air.

TCE is widely used in industry.

It was mainly used for degreasing manufactured metal parts.

TCE has been replaced by other solvents for some degreasing operations,

but millions of pounds are still used annually.

Newer industrial processes try to enclose areas where TCE is used for degreasing to prevent worker exposures.

TCE is also used as a chemical for making other chemicals including

PVC plastic,

some pesticides,

and flame retardants.

TCE is one of the solvents that had been extensively used in the past by the dry cleaning industry.

It is used now more for spot cleaning clothing stains.

TCE is still found in many household and consumer products, including

paint removers,

glue,

spot and stain removers,

carpet spot removers,

metal cleaners,

and gun cleaners.

TCE had many uses in the past. It was used as a grain fumigant and pet food additive

until its use was banned for food and medical uses in 1977.

Until the mid-1970s, it was used to extract vegetable oils and spices

and to extract caffeine for the production of decaffeinated coffee.

TCE was used for anesthesia in hospitals—especially for women during childbirth during the 1950s and 60s,

as a surgical disinfectant,

and to treat migraines and trigeminal neuralgia –

which is a nerve disorder that causes severe pain in the face.

Cancer Cluster - Duration: 0:56.

A cancer cluster is a higher than expected number of the same type of cancer in a specific

area over a set time period for a similar group of people.

State and local health agencies can sometimes use state cancer registry information

to look at the number of cancers in a community compared to the number in the state.

Comparisons are made within groups of people of the same age, sex, and race

because there are some known factors that influence the likelihood of getting cancer.

A finding of more cancers than expected in an area

does not mean there is a single cause or risk that can be identified or addressed.

The findings can be due to chance, known risk factors, unknown causes, and other reasons.

The cause of the cancer cluster may not be identified.

Search: Categories and Tags - Duration: 36:53.

Okay, good morning! Welcome to

the webinar. We're going to talk about

Luggage today in regards to search. But

before we do that we have a few house

rules.

It looks like we have some people that

are joining us

um maybe for the first time. I'm just

looking at the list here so welcome!

Please make sure to mute your microphone.

I have muted someone who's on the phone

today. I'm sorry I don't know who that is,

but you are on mute. I'm going to

open up the chat here so that i can see

it.

Just a second, alright so we have a group

chat. If you cannot hear me, please let me

know. I do have some developers standing

by that are watching this webinar and

paying attention to some of your

questions. So thank you! They are letting me

know that I am coming through ok. We

ask that you not use video. I think it's

okay maybe at a future date, we'll try to

use video. It's really for me, because it

gets a bit distracting when I see a

bunch of movement on the screen, so I

really appreciate you turning videos off

for now.

Also remember to ask questions in the

chat. As I said, we do have a chat box if

you are online on your computer you can

ask questions and I encourage you to do

that throughout the webinar. We like I

said do have people standing by able to

answer those chat questions, so I may not

actually see them as I'm speaking in

some cases, and ah so I just want to make

sure that those answered, and we'll do

so. If your questions do not get answered

during the webinar, we will follow up

with you and answer those questions for

you.

Through email, and and other methods.

Generally the first 20 minutes is a

presentation, so today we're going to

talk about search, categories, and tags.

The second 20 minutes we have open for

office hours, kind of thing, where I will

be here are and can answer questions. In

order for us to stick around we'll need

to have questions in the chat to answer.

So please think of those questions

throughout this webinar and prepare them

for the the chat ... your kind of open

session at the end. The last few webinars

we haven't had many questions and so I

encourage you to please ask those

questions. And then of course be

respectful of others which I know that

we all are. So without further ado I can

move forward here ... just a minute ... maybe

Alright! We're going to talk about

Punxsutawney Phil! So happy groundhog day!

I had mentioned this in the post. In case

you don't know apparently we have six

more weeks of winter.

So this is the little clip from the

Today Show and if you're interested you

can watch the little video of of him and

the presentation that was kind of cute.

So anyway unfortunately we'll have we'll

have more winter. But isn't he cute?

Very cute.

Ok so next we're going to talk about

some online resources. Again this is

something that we do at the beginning of

the presentation, just to help you make

sure that you have resources available

to you for the Luggage platform and

accessibility etc. So we are Biology

IT. I apologize I don't know that I

actually introduced myself today.

My name is Ann Greazel. I work for this

group and essentially my role is project

management and training. So most of what

I do involves training all of you and

helping you learn a little bit

more about a adding content to your

website. We have a Luggage Showcase.

You can find this by going to the luggage

docks dot info website and then

clicking on showcase. It's very nice way

to search and find other sites that are

like yours, that are using Luggage.

It's also nice to see what other people

are doing, you know what are other

departments doing? What are other

collaborative groups doing? What are other

faculty members doing on their sites

that have luggage?

This is a very nice way to browse those.

We have Extension sites. We have sites

from other groups on campus that are

using Luggage, that aren't just Biology

IT sites. So please feel free to browse

browse the showcase.

We also show feature examples. If you

have been using Luggage for a little

while and would like to learn how people

are creating banners, you know which

sites do banners well? Which sites have a

great blog? This is the this is the page

for you. If you're interested in

accessibility and usability the Digital

Access website at iowa state is a great

resource for you. Zayira is our web

accessibility coordinator for the

University and she would be more than

happy to talk with you about web

accessibility. I spoke with her yesterday

and I believe she will be able to join

us in April for for our webinar in April

and we are going to be talking about

accessibility. Here we go! We're going

to talk about search and tags. It looks

like we're getting a little bit of of

noise in the audio, so I'm not sure what

that's coming from or if it's if it's

really terrible or not? [laughing]

Okay, so please let us know if it is...

We'd like to know those things. Also, pay

attention to that chat. We have developers,

like I said, that are putting in

links for you. So all of those resources

we just mentioned, they have links in the

chat so you can visit those links

throughout the presentation. There are

going to be other links during the

presentation that they will add as well.

The items were going to talk about today

are listed here in bullet points. I am

doing this webinar a bit different. There

is going to be a bit of a PowerPoint

presentation today, because I feel that

what we're talking about is really a

discussion and an understanding of what

really are categories and tags? Those of

you that have used Luggage, know that the

platform is based on search.

So we're going to talk about what that

means. We're also going to talk about the

benefits. Specifically how to add

excellent categories and tags; what

those should be and very briefly we will

go into the difference between an open

and closed term list. And a faceted search.

So, essentially

to help you understand maybe what a

faceted search is, if you haven't heard

about that before. I feel like we can

certainly take this conversation a bit

deeper in the future. So today we're

going to do a very broad overview and

I've been talking to myself

about this all morning and hoping

that I don't go too deep today. I really

just want to cover the surface and

please please ask questions and we can

certainly fill a bit deeper where where

we need to today. So the definition

of search on our Wikipedia (famous website)

is an attempt to find something. And

really that's what we're doing. We are

attempting to find content. We're

attempting to connect people with your

expertise,

essentially. It's based on categories and

tags which is very helpful ... um ... for many

reasons. It's that you can have multiple

relationships with a single piece of

content and you don't actually need to

have one path to get there. So let's take

a quick look ... I found this online. I'm

going to go ahead and share my screen, a

different screen, for a minute. I can find

proper one ... ok

alright

...so there's our groundhog. We're going to move on ...

we're going to take a little throwback

into the nineties and we're going to

look at a little site screenshot that

they've got here for Nike. So it used to be

a very common way to develop websites.

Right? We had a single item or a few ... you

know for Nike, we're looking at different

sports: basketball, running, soccer,

training, and outdoor. When you click on

those items ... this is not clickable ... when

you click on those items you're going to

a single page most likely, that explains

information about basketball and maybe

there's a couple liks that take you

somewhere else on their site about

basketball.

So there's one place to click and you

move from there.

So today when you look at a website,

it's a little bit different. So

essentially

you have something else there in

front of you. You don't just have words

or terms to look at to choose, you have

this big box with a search little icon

in it. You have a little magnifying glass

and and so that's what we're really

getting at ...you know... What is search?

Why is it important? What are we ...

what are we doing with search? You know,

search is so powerful and as you can see

that with Nike, there's really not a

whole lot of of terms on the page. You're

not inundated with the thousands of

pages that they they most likely have on

their website. So hopefully this gives

you a bit of a picture to think about

as we move forward.

Alright, I'm going to hop back to my

other screen. So let's talk a little bit

about the benefit of search. You've seen

a little bit about what it looks like

but what are the benefits of it? So we're

going to start talking a little bit

about audience first. So your website

generally will have multiple audiences

and each of those audiences are going to

be looking for information differently.

So, for example, your prospective student

may look for content about a degree that

has to do with insects. so... Chances are

that student is going to search in

Google for insects or bugs and degree.

And a different audience such as

researchers or collaborators may look

for similar information using search

terms of entomology degree. So do to the

fast that your site has a great list of

categories and tags, those audiences can

both find the information that they're

looking for and land on essentially that

page that they need very quickly. By

doing this you can also help train your

site visitors. So that prospective

student who may not know what the actual

term is ... you know you're thinking

potentially even a high school student

who doesn't ... you know ... doesn't know you

know what that degree is called for

example. When they land on the page the

top of the page will say "Entomology

Degree". You're actually teaching them at

that moment, from the moment they visit

the website what the name of that degree

is. And so that's actually kind of great

to help to help teach people.

The other thing is um I have some notes

here so i just want to make sure that I

follow them a bit ..is that we can create

content which accounts for these

multiple mental pathways. So as

I just explained, (you can have) those were

just two mental pathways that there can

be multiple pathways if you have

multiple categories and tags that are

used effectively. You know, we all have a

different mental pathway on how we think

about content, how we think about

information. It's based on an algorithm

of many things. It's based on how much

information that you know we know. It's

based on our degrees, our education

our interests, so that's a very very

good benefit.

Another thing is (you know) I showed you a

picture early from the nineties of Nike.

Kind of after that what started to

happen in websites is that people would

make the same page twice and they would

put it in two different spots on the

menu. So it would be a subpage under two

different areas and the reason they did

that was to try to accommodate for

multiple mental pathways. With categories

and tags, you can create that page of

content one time ... just once and it will

actually show up in in multiple places

on your site, depending on what people

search for. So that's a very nice

thing about categorizing and

tagging. So let's talk about tags, specifically.

In order to start this (oops I'm sorry). In order to

start this conversation I'm going to

play a short video that I made ... so I

apologize you get to listen to my voice

a little bit more ... um and then we'll

we'll have a bit of a discussion after

that.

So let me ...um... share that video in just a second here ...

And i'm going to go ahead and mute

myself so that you can hear the video.

Ok, so hopefully that gives you on a

brief overview of ... of tags and I'm going

to go back to my PowerPoint here a second ...

Okay, so really what tags should be are the

terms that you feel someone should be

searching ... may search for, to find your

information ... so in our in our example of

the entomology degree, good/great tags

could be bugs and insects and ... and that's

where we talk about categories a little

bit later.

That's where you can you can help people

find the content that they're looking

for in that way. You can have multiple

tag terms so tags are really more of a

somewhat unlimited vocabulary. As you

content editors add content you can have

as many tags as you like. The great part

about tags are that when you've added a

tag, the next content editor to come

along will have that tag available to

them as they type a new term in. And it's

going to be important to use those tags

if it's ... it's what you're intending. Now

of course, if the tag does not exist you

know, please add it, because that ... that

will just enhance your ... your library of

tags there. Site index is also a good

way to find all of the tags that are on

your site. So, for example if we go to the

site index for luggage docs you're going

to be able to see ...

you're going to be able to see really

what that looks like.

so when you go to the site index for

luggage docs and usually that that's

going to be something in the footer that

we provide with Luggage. Where when you

click on it you can actually go to the

site index and it's it's here for site

visitors as well, you know this is a nice

way for them to find what they're

looking for in a nice ... a nice index so

with that let's start talking about tags (categories!).

And i'm probably going to go over and I

don't what time it is .. we're doing ok, so I'm gonna ... I'm

gonna go a little bit longer today. I

hope that's alright.

Categories are terms that should be used

to really uh put all of the content on

your site ... How should say this?

They're really different buckets that

when you add a new piece of information

or content to your website, in which you

can kind of determine which bucket or

buckets that content would fit in.

So this is a more of an

umbrella a set of terms that really

encompass what you do. So when you have a

website, there's an expertise that you

have that you're trying to share with

others and there's information that

you're trying to share with others and

so essentially what you do is that

expertise and it is the content that

relates to that that information. So

really if you think about what it is

that you do ... what's the science that you

do?

What's the research that you do? What's

the connection that you do? You know

if your ... if your service to the website

you know ... what is it that you do to

provide to people? And these terms can

certainly be scientific terms. So the

reason for that is ... these are the terms

that should be the legitimate,

professional terms for what it is that

you do. And that's how you can really

teach your site visitors on

ah what those proper terms are. So as

scientists and researchers you can

actually engage the end user to learn

those terms and and ... and really

understand a bit more about those

concepts.

You can have multiple levels of terms. So

you may have parent terms and child

terms (is what they are called)

Essentially sub terms under your

under your main categories.

We're running a little bit

long on time so I'm not going to

actually visit each of these websites

right now. But you may visit these

websites right now, to see what the terms are that

are being used. So I guess I'd be

doing a disservice if I don't at least

at one. So let's go ahead and take a look

at Maize Surface Lipids here. I'm gonna ...

think I'm gonna have to jump back

again.

ok screen

Alright. So you can see that under the

hamburger this one site has scientific

terms that they're using ... to have

contect be related. So that's that's one

example.

I guess I have them all open, so I can go to

them. Economics, you know ... here's a

professional list of terms that describe

what the Department of Economics does.

you know ... What is their research related to?

What is it that their faculty members and

staff members do? If you're on a

collaborative site ... a collaborative group.

This is an example of where ... for example

on the Integrated Crop Management site ...

there are terms in the category list

pertaining to what this group does. They

do crop production. They have information

on equipment machinery. They have grain

handling and storage information, insects

and mites, etc. So this is ... a this is how

you can start to think about ... think about

your categories.

We just looked at those. There is two different

types of vocabulary lists. There's an open

vocabulary list and there is a closed

vocabulary list. So when we talk about

open

uh were referring to terms ... a term list

that that you can add to. For

example, we talked about tags and that

being really an unlimited number of

terms that you can use and these ... this is

an example of open vocabulary. Closed

vocabulary are really where the site

owners are going to determine what the

umbrella terms are for your site and

that would be essentially the categories.

... would be an example of that ... in

the luggage platform. So categories are

a closed vocabulary.

They are very well-thought-out.

They are specific to what the site does,

what information the site would like to

portray, and give to others to

learn about. And then we have faceted

search. So when when we have categories

and tags that have been added to content,

we can take it a step further and we can

now allow our site visitors to sort and

filter their content based on the

categories and tags that you've given.

And in Luggage you can actually search

your content and filter it by the type

of contact that you've added. So for

example, you're adding a news item, an event,

a video. Those items you know

those types of content are ways that

the end user can kind of go to your

site, search for something, and be able

to select news, for example. So they can

see all of the news, that's that's on

your site, thats related to the search

term that they have

type in. An example of faceted search

would be Amazon. So we can jump over and

take a look at that.

oh here we go

So when you go to amazon and search for

something ... what you get on the left is

what's called a faceted search. These are

actually various selections that you can

you can choose to filter the content

based on brand, tire, etc. So if I select Schwinn ...

I'm gonna now see all of the

Schwinn bikes. If I'm looking for a

certain type of frame ... if i'm looking for

a bike for certain type of audience ... a

user. I can search for you know ...

a woman's bike and it can go on and on. So that's what

a faceted search is. Now Luggage is

essentially doing that as well ... so when

you go to a site such as digital access

and use it (search) ... i just did a broad search of

search of accessibility ... here to show you. You can

actually search the content on the site

based on type and category and then we

even have some other term vocabularies

to use such as new type, people category,

and event. I didn't get into all those

today but they all play a role in this

categories and tags concept to help

people find content. So you can see that

there's 28 pages on this website that

are related to accessibility. There's 12

pages that are related to events and

when I select that, my list, my search is

filtered for that specific kind of

content. And now, I can say ...

Oh! They also talk about usability. You

know, I didn't realize that! So now you're

all the sudden finding things that you

didn't know you were even looking for ...

and so this is also a way to engage

your end user when they're

searching. You can also see that

categories and tags are listed at the

bottom of of the content. So another

thing that you can select. So maybe you

saw that first instead of on the left.

You can select these terms and say I'm

interested and accessibility workshops.

Okay, now I'm seeing all of the accessibility

workshops.

Alright.

I believe thats all I have for today. So I

feel badly. I know that I went over my

20 minutes but if you have any questions,

please feel free to type those in the

chat are more than happy to help answer

them and again we have people standing

by that are happy to answer as well. I'd

like to give you some time. I know that

this is a lot of information to really

think about and if you have specific

questions in regards to the website

you're working on ...

We're more than happy to help answer

those too. This is a very nice place for

you to learn from each other and

certainly you may have questions that

you know you're thinking of but i'm sure

that someone else could benefit from

that answer as well.

oh great questions! Okay, so it looks like

we have a question about.. What if the

hamburger button on your site has been

removed or disabled? That can actually be

put on within a few seconds ... So if you

would like to have it and your site doesn't

have it, we can we can add that very

quickly. You know the reason that

sometimes ... sometimes that sites get stood

up ... we make a conscious decision to not

put a hamburger button (which is what it

used to be). And now, on our new theme, we

have changed that hamburger button to

actually say "content by category" and

let's go to ... I believe

Monarch has an example of that ... yeah. So

instead of a hamburger you can actually

see as a drop-down list for content by

category. But again the reason we may not

do that is maybe the site was very early

in development or just in in early

development...there weren't very many

categories that were created or

there was a need, not a need for it.

Sometimes the site that has five six ten

pages doesn't need a hamburger or content

by category. So we really do strategize a

bit about where that should be, but you

need to know that whether your site has

the little hamburger button or content

by category or not... if you're using

Luggage, your site is getting all the

benefits of those categories and tags,

just the same, because you're sharing

that information ... your categorizing

and tagging content and it's being

shared with google. So it is actually

benefiting you. And we can

certainly click that on for

you very quickly.

Ok. What are the modules for faceted search?

That's probably a bit of a developer

question, so I'm sure that they

can talk to you a little bit about that.

We do have, with Drupal, a lot of that is

built-in. There's a core module for

taxonomy and that's what's used.

We also use Solr search, so basically

it's a way that you can search your

website using a search ... I'll just say

search engine ... but I do not know if that's the proper term...

that actually knows your content. So we

use a search engine that is familiar

with Drupal. And it understands Drupal's

nodes, fields and essentially set up,

so that it can really dig in and find

those taxonomy terms and then turn

around and share them obviously with

other search engines like Google. Also

those of you that want to get

a bit deeper ... there was a presentation a

couple years ago that we did at DrupalCorn.

And you may benefit from that.

I think I can go ahead and see if one of

the developers want to put ... or it's

already there.

They're on the same pages. Ok you can

review this little presentation which

does actually talk a little bit about

modules.

So ... Oh I'm looking at this other question here ...

yes ... (question about hamburger helping with search)

so absolutely ... turning that on can

definitely help people find

things. And search your site even better.

yeah looks let's get it on (to the site). Are there any

other questions that we can help answer?

These are great questions.

Ok. I want to give you a moment or two.

Sometimes people think about ... think about

questions & and I've heard that they try

to take them in and then I close the

webinar, so I'm trying not to do that

today.

Alright. As always if you would like to

have more information or sit down and

talk with with me about your website,

your categories and tags; and how

to do them more efficiently or you know,

to get them displayed, we can certainly

certainly work with you to do that.

Feel free to send me an email or or call

me and we can we can certainly get

together.

Alright. Thank you all very much for

attending today and I hope you have a

great rest of the week! I'm going to go

ahead and close out the webinar.

Remote Viewer Takes a Look at Planet X - Duration: 8:48.

Remote Viewer Takes a Look at Planet X

For so many years I had heard reports of a mysterious 9th or 10th planet in deep space

(if you still count Pluto as a planet) commonly referred to as �Planet X� or �Niburu�

(var.

Nibiru � meaning the bright star of the crossing).

Mainstream scientists and government agencies were quick to dismiss the possibility of this

unknown planet as sheer �quackery.� But due to some recent findings, those same scientists

are now having to eat a little crow.

The new evidence comes from a pair of respected planetary scientists, Konstantin Batygin and

Mike Brown of the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in Pasadena, who prepared

for the inevitable skepticism with detailed analyses of the orbits of other distant objects

and months of computer simulations.

Their findings point to data that something bigger than the size of Earth lurks in our

outer solar system and its gravitational pull is affecting other planets and ultimately

Earth weather.

�If you say, �We have evidence for Planet X,� almost any astronomer will say, �This

again?

These guys are clearly crazy.� I would, too,� Brown says.

�Why is this different?

This is different because this time we�re right.�

But without being able to clearly see this mysterious Planet X through a telescope, will

the rest of the scientific community believe them?

This blog is not another science article.

I�ll leave that to the experts.

I was more curious if, indeed, anything was out there and why so many countries in the

world had suddenly started building large telescopes about 10 years ago to view our

outer solar system.

Even the Vatican invested in two large telescopes, one named L.U.C.I.F.E.R.

Did they know something they weren�t telling us?

Were they taking seriously the biblical prophecies about the 3,600 year return of the planet

called Wormwood aka Planet X?

This celestial �star� was said to have caused the pole shift that brought about the

Great Flood and destroyed many civilizations as well as the dinosaurs centuries ago.

As a sometime remote viewer, who learned the art from Russell Targ who, along with Hal

Puthoff, RIR-130203 headed up the Stanford Research Institute�s (SRI) remote viewing

program for the CIA�s Stargate Project, I knew it was time to take a look at Planet

X for myself.

In the past few years I�ve discovered some rather unexplainable and unusual objects in

space while remote viewing that are clearly not �ours� (read Stargate Journeys and

Consciousness Assisted Technology blogs).

Sometimes you get a treasure trove of info and sometimes nothing.

It was worth a shot, so I sat down meditated and sent my mind to the outer reaches of space

looking for answers to the great mystery of Planet X.

What did I find?

Well, there is indeed a very large object out there.

It�s not a planet, but it looks and behaves much like a planet.

I felt immediately dizzy-headed upon approaching it.

There is a magnetic gravitational flux that feels both expelling and contracting at the

same time.

I�ll let the scientists figure out what this all means, but there is also a deep resonant

sound vibration you can feel, which made me aware that this planet-like object felt both

alive and teeming internally with life.

Sometimes when remote viewing with your mind, there is an all-knowing feeling.

Telepathic awareness kicks in.

I knew then that the object was really a mammoth planetary space vehicle, despite its outward

barren appearance.

While this totally surprised me, it also sparked my intense interest.

I zeroed in on its interior.

It was hollowed out, vast, beyond the size of several large cities and multi-layered.

I found myself inexplicably drawn to a large chamber where I saw giant human-like beings�12-15

feet in stature.

Several of these beings had red hair.

I was aware that I had poked in during a rather heated discussion.

Immediately I felt a sudden sharp mental push as if I had been discovered and psychically

kicked out.

But the odd thing is that whoever had mentally pushed me out, had left a mental imprint behind

that contained a myriad of images and thoughts which I was able to glean some information

from.

Planet X is not a Galactic Federation spaceship, as might be seen in a Star Wars movie.

I got a strong �No� when I mentally inquired.

This is an �ancestor� ship.

I call it this because this race of beings inside have been around longer than prehistoric

man on Earth and they are not strangers to our planet.

They know all about us and once walked our lands.

I got the impression that they don�t think very highly of us.

Despite this, there appears to be factions of their race that are in disagreement about

the best way to interact with Earth humans.

The interesting thing is that they find themselves in a dilemma.

Many of their kind see us as a threat to their survival, much as we would see them to ours.

They, like us, are also on an evolutionary path with regard to service to self vs. service

to others.

There are those of their race that want to help us while others want to destroy us to

save themselves.

It�s clearly a karmic dilemma, and it appears we on Earth are going through the same soul

learning process.

This is why are paths are destined to intersect.

It appears that their planet-like spaceship somehow got locked into a strange orbit (due

to an explosion with some other planet a very long time ago) that doesn�t always allow

full control of their vehicle�s trajectory.

As their orbit comes closer to Earth they know they will be bombarded by the same gravitational

pull that Earth is bound to also experience by coming into close proximity to them.

Some on-board fear annihilation unless they take aggressive action.

Others disagree.

While they appear to have smaller space vehicles that can exit their planetary vehicle at any

time, they don�t want to be trapped on Earth.

Sound fantastic?

I thought so, too, but these are the impressions I received.

Whether they are accurate, is yet to be determined.

I encourage other remote viewers to see what they pick up as well.

Who really knows if our two worlds will eventually collide.

So many have predicted this would happen in 2003, then again in 2012, and now in 2016.

It hasn�t happened yet, and perhaps it never will, but awareness that we are not alone

in the universe is definitely increasing.

The visibility of Planet X will eventually be evident in the skies to all, in time, as

it orbits closer.

Some believe this is why the CIA recently released some of their UFO files, preparing

for Disclosure.

Perhaps Planet X�s ultimate purpose in revealing itself is to awaken us to our true past.

The future is still being written, so I will not get into spreading additional fear about

what will or will not occur.

There�s enough fear in the world already and even if we were on a crash course with

Planet X, not much either side can do about it, so just enjoy life now.

What I find more fascinating is that it appears these beings brought early life to this planet.

They are our ancestors.

Are they the Annunaki race the ancient Sumerian texts refer as the celestial Gods from the

sky who were masters of DNA and genetic manipulation?

Planet X was once big news in the mainstream media in the early 1980�s, then suddenly

all mention of it disappeared.

Those who mentioned it were quickly ridiculed, which tells us they must have been too close

to the truth.

I like to think that everything in the universe is subject to change, and everything is right

on schedule.

Now, at last, appears to be the right time to take a second look at Planet X.

DISCOVER WILDFLOWERS AT YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK - Duration: 9:47.

my name is Alison call well I'm a

botanist i work in yosemite national

park sitting in this beautiful bring

slope of gold fields and dwarf lupin and

birds eyes and red maids and fringe pod

on a beautiful April afternoon somebody

is a great place to be a botanist the

diversity because of the different rock

types the different elevations the

mountains the river valleys it all leads

to a great abundance of species and

plant communities i guess it's kind of

for me a smorgasbord of wild flower

displays the landscapes nice too but

it's it's just habitat as far as I'm

concerned my name is Shelton Johnson I'm

a park ranger in the division of

interpretation and education here in

Yosemite National Park when I think of

wildflowers I think of concentrations of

color concentrations of life I mean it's

just sighs of life itself is being

focused right in these little pockets in

the soil alongside a tree

I mean it just it's a color it's almost

like the stars fell out of the sky and

they're right there in the ground

looking back up Prince to me are the

great synthesizer they show you how the

the waters and the climate and the

topography and everything that's going

on gets kind of synthesized into why

this plant is here at this one spot

there's so many connections and that's

what gets really exciting as the

connections I need to step back every

once in awhile because I'm i'll be

walking around trying to remember the

scientific name of something and every

once in awhile i can just put that aside

and it just hits me there's something

got level that just connects you inform

its it's the beauty in the color beauty

of course and the incredible diversity

and floral structure color shape and

it's just a natural attractive we

resonate so much with color and form

you look at a whole field like this and

it's just the massive color and display

in the thousands of individuals

participating in that and it's almost

like the earth itself is overdoing it

the earth is this displaying look what I

can do with a palette with the spectrum

I just having all these different

variations on just the color red or just

the color yellow or just the color blue

we might appreciate the display but

where it's not meant for us really it

it's really designed for the eye of the

insect it's tied into the fact that

they're depending on another organism to

be a butterfly some other animal to to

be there love messenger for them to

bring pollen from the male flower to the

female flower

well I mean there's the flour and then

there's the insect that comes in that's

drawn by the flour and then it goes into

drink the nectar and then there's the

Parliament moves up alongside the insect

that goes to another flower but there at

that point you can start playing

violence you know it's romances in the

air actually romantic that case is work

alongside the the insect itself is

moving in to get a meal you know and it

is an interesting thought that flowers

themselves become gifts become a means

of a forming or forging a relationship

or or telling someone that you love them

why is it that far as have been such a

perfect subject matter for painters for

centuries

there's so much cultural connections

with flowers and that's just one culture

backup but human cultures all across the

world recognized in the flour as

something that is part of the earth that

we can grab hold up and give it to

another

Enid Michael was one of the few women

Ranger naturalist in the early days of

yosemite national park and when I think

of even Michael I basically think of one

thing

her passion for flowers when people

thought about wildflowers and somebody

valley in that time it would be

difficult to not think about that

Michael because she was the caretaker

she was the ambassador

she was the spokesperson she was the

poet she was all of those things ended

would pick flowers and display them in

front of the visitor center and she

wanted to bring the flowers to the

public so they they could have a

complete understanding of the floor of

the park

she did a lot of exploring she and her

husband were both avid Mountaineers rock

climbers and during her climbing outing

she would collect plants and she's

discovered quite a few species that were

known to exist here the cemetery onion

is Big Show Union it grows on

mountaintops and cliff tops around here

and it's known to have a really

restricted distribution to just a few

sites and it was something that you

needed Michael discovered she describes

how it was so pungent when she carried

it back with her that she was followed

by a stream of bottle flies behind her

that we're following the smell and she

press the onion interplan press and it

went on to sprout up the side of it but

it turns out it was a new species when I

finally identified it

we've got back recently couple years ago

to try and resurvey the population she

found ended up climbing up the cliff

face the tracking to get stupid and then

after all day of climbing discovered

that we're about three weeks too late

and they'd all dried up and gone to seed

so we've got to go back sometime it's

not easy getting out to these unusual

habitats and

unusual places in the elements looking

looking for what we need to look for it

takes a tough person router woman to be

a botanist you can spend a whole

lifetime learning the plants here and

I'm just starting to learn them and I'm

not ashamed of that in fact I like that

idea i'm not going to get bored anytime

soon or over the other hillside for in

back of us there's probably a dozen

things that I have no idea what they are

will sit down with a field guide to

figure them out or if it's not in there

and we might get really excited about

that

Allison she has a special talent there's

a lot of variation in plant but Allison

knows what is meaningful variation and

what is just your average variation that

you see out there so she walks this

earth was with a special I well quite

honestly I'm not sure how she does it

but she studies the ground a lot and

studies the flora a lot and has a sense

to pick up something that may be

different and bring it back and study it

a couple years ago we found an orchid

that was new to science as it turns out

made a specimen of it to get back looked

at it more closely couldn't figure it

out send it out to an expert to look at

he couldn't figure it out

that's at what point we got really

excited he's been about it so sing it in

the flesh like that he took one look at

it and said oh yes this is entirely

different

we need to write this up right away this

is a new species we described that and

put it into print

it's got a new name now it's the

assembly bog orchid in the honor of

Yosemite because that's the only place

that it grows there are unique plants

and assembly plants you can't find

anyplace else not just the sierra nevada

but anyplace else in the world like the

assembly bog orchid it is the assembly

bog orchid is not a Sequoia bog orchid

is not a Rocky Mountain bog orchid it is

the assembly bog orchid so its entire

universe is rooted right here in this

soil in this history in this landscape

there's other things like that out here

I know they just haven't been discovered

yet

Yosemite is really big 1,200 square

miles and there's only two or three

roads through parts of it so it really

is tho wilderness and relatively

unexplored so for me it's like a candy

shop gogo there's lots of stuff out

there that is waiting to be discovered

so that that makes the job exciting

DISCOVER SNOW AT YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK - Duration: 8:58.

I'm p divided on the education

coordinator for the assembly Association

here in Yosemite National Park on a nice

wintry day with snowfall you can hear

you 70 falls in the background just off

to my right and the Merced River very

popular with many people in the

summertime is a great place to to splash

and play and float on a raft right now

it looks more like part of an Ansel

Adams photograph where our winter world

of Yosemite is done in black and white

very different from the summertime

we just come here every year we have a

whole snow fight to get on the help of

times it's just fun

I just go fast when and zoom you see

that cars come up and they're loaded

with sleds and the kids have their

snowsuits on and their snow boots and

they're so excited to just common see

snow and for a lot of people that come

up here this is our first time ever

seeing snow and so it's great to have

those people into the park and when

they're prepared to drive in the Snowy

Mountains you know cars slide around out

here and that's what we're trying to

prevent with the change

so we're enroute to badger pass key area

which is a downhill ski area within your

somebody national park and so this is

the road in the winter time where I get

called to respond to the majority of

motor vehicle collisions they are

expecting favorite 27 into this now and

tomorrow morning two to three feet of

snow about 6,000 feet so we're expecting

to see a significant snowfall people are

on vacation they have had these

vacations planned for months and

especially when one of their goals is to

go skiing in Yosemite they tend to come

whether they are good or bad

we're a match pass key area the oldest

carrion state of California and we're

heading up the lift right now to go

check out the snow when you see people

come up with never seen snow before and

they get up here and there's snow caked

on all the trees like we have right now

there's just something something about

that that moves people and changes

something inside on my note you know

snow has been a major part of my life

since I grew up here grew up learning to

ski a badger pass when I was five and

have been here ever since and and yeah

this place is just it rules when there's

snow on it we can get amazing about to

snow overnight it wouldn't be uncommon

to have 24 feet of snowfall in 24 hour

time period so that's one of the great

things about this year we do get a lot

of a lot of snow but we also get great

weather following us today is a great

example like two days ago we had one and

a half to two feet of snow and now today

is a perfect warm spring day here in the

Sierras we get all our precipitation in

the winter virtually all of it

summer is dry for five or six months

that allows agriculture to go on what

allows the wildlife to survive but

allows people to get a continuous watch

supplies effect that water slowly melts

off the mountains and

gets down to the farms in the cities and

winners when we only get a few of those

storms it's going to be a dry summer

it's gonna be tough on the farmers and

years and we we get a lot of those

storms and where were fat better up

so what that means is our entire

snowpack might consist of 325 storms in

a winter and so the difference of one

storm or not make significant difference

in the available snowpack for all the

processes that depend on it

the Sierra Nevada supplies fifty percent

of California's water supply and

therefore the state has made a

considerable investment in tracking the

snowpack in the Sierra Nevada we may

have a 20-foot snowpack or 30-foot

snowpack and some parts of the Sierra

and not only is it amazingly deep but

it's amazingly wet so in a in a wet year

we may have 10 feet of water sitting on

the ground and snowpack which you

multiply that over the entire range is

an enormous amount of water 96 so the

main thing going interested in here is

how much water is in the snowpack and

the way we find that out is to weigh it

and this tube is cleverly calibrated so

we don't have to do any math to do that

folks who are operating the dams use

this data to determine how they're going

to manage your damn they know how much

water is going to be coming later in the

year they can make better decisions

about how much water release now versus

later it's used legally to divide up the

water how much water are the salmon

going to get how much water the farmers

and he had how much water the city's

going to get that's based in part on

these measurements these records were

collecting out here this data is being

used in part to see how the climate is

changing and in facts we can now see

that the snowpack is melting off earlier

in the year we're not getting as much

snow lower down that is forecast to

continue and if it does continue the

state is going to be in worse shape

because it

essentially the size of this reservoir

is shrinking and the length of time that

this reservoir is holding the water is

getting shorter and shorter last year we

were at about the same level of snowpack

and we had a historically dry year but

one of the video driest springs on

record because know basically stopped

and so what we're waiting for right now

is we're at the same critical juncture

will we get more snow after this point

or not and that will determine what this

water here is like for the state of

California think about most people who

here in California they live down around

sea level so that then the whole idea of

snow is something so far into them and

they do they get up your negative beauty

and the professor and I want to do is

pack a snowball together and throughout

the friend and I want to build a snowman

and and then the next step is to well we

can slide on this how about we go tubing

or go skiing or snowboarding so you know

just a lot of people that is just a

novelty enjoy the the freedom of getting

around on a winter landscape

particularly with skis in the forest

there's a lot of down trees it's often

difficult to go cross-country and that

changes completely in the winter a lot

of the magic for me of the wintertime is

just how amazing it is to slide down

hills being able to control yourself get

where you're going but just have a blast

while you're doing it it's a great way

to travel through the woods we do a snow

survey in the north end of the park

it takes four days we ski and hike up

close to 50 miles i've done that survey

a whole lot of times and we've never

seen a visitor out there we've got the

place to ourselves and it's gorgeous

it's like another Yosemite there's

Yosemite and then there's a cemetery in

winter it's a different national park in

a different experience to get out and

explore it in the snow

DISCOVER WILDERNESS AT THE YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK - Duration: 9:20.

it is interesting people think of you so

many think of you simply valley and

that's understandable given how

spectacular it is and they don't realize

that ninety-five percent of the park is

wilderness designated wilderness and

that this huge area extends back from

the rims of the valley that is really

quite wild it amazes people to learn

that the walls of the valley themselves

are designated wilderness that the

wilderness boundary is just 200 vertical

feet above the floor of the valley

some people think wilderness is

exclusionary that it only a tiny number

of people go there but actually everyone

who goes to the valley and looks out

through their windshield is enjoying

wilderness because that's what they're

looking at wilderness is a place removed

from roads from buildings from permanent

structures it's a place where the forces

of nature are allowed to be wild

I going away from the roads going away

from the campgrounds you get to

experience the other ninety five percent

of your somebody and when you go out

there tends to be very quiet

you don't experience the crowds that you

do elsewhere in the park we hiked down

from 20 meadows my two brothers and

their two sons headed to focus saying

lake merced now we're in lower Yosemite

and it's pretty amazing absolutely

amazing I mean to walk with the pace of

the land we don't do that much anymore

doing especially at our society and in

our culture there's this drive to be

successful and always be going and

always be doing

I think this is an opportunity for them

to just take a deep breath it's like a

breath it's like noticing your

surroundings for the first time you know

can be a big thing for someone i think

when you're in a day-to-day life in the

city and things become routine you know

and sometimes I think things are taken

for granted i think it's just the soul

connection with nature to try to

remember you know we get so lost

and our little human worlds and you get

to come out here and just forget about

it all and remember there's many things

to life you know the guy who wrote the

Wilderness Act Howard's on hyser said

that was the most important value of

boulders was that it reminded people

what their true place in nature is and

we need that we need the humility that

goes with going out into nature without

all our tools that that has neither said

give us a sense of mastery over nature

and just being a plain citizen of the

earth and its community of life and

remembering our place when you go out

into the wilderness you step away from

our lives in the city

step away from our cars on the roads and

you in turn to a very beautiful in

simple place everything that you need to

survive you can carry on your back

I think it does take people back to the

roots of like yeah this is all I really

need

life is broken down into your basic

needs

you're eating you're sleeping and you're

moving but you're doing it all through a

space that is really caught up in its

own existence really doing its own thing

a big part of the value of having an

area that's untrammeled where we're not

manipulating is it gives scientists a

chance to go out and see what areas and

modified by humans look like how they

operate how they function wilderness is

a laboratory to witness the forces of

nature unfold unconstrained and i

manipulated by people and that could be

very important for future research into

perhaps how we solve some of the

environmental challenges that we're

currently facing these wilderness areas

are serving all kinds of functions that

are important to the planet these

forests are the lungs of the planet that

are cleaning the air these watersheds is

part of the water cycle are providing

fresh clean water having these

undisturbed systems especially if you're

linked together with other undisturbed

systems keeps animal species along

it keeps the peace whole cycles in these

complex in relationships alive

I think as climate changes i think as

other ecologic ille calamities increase

we may start understanding some of those

values more coming into wilderness are

wondering about wilderness and knowing

that if you remove someone from context

of their normal daily life place them in

wilderness it could be an intriguing and

confounding sort of experience that

element of the unknown and not having

control i think is something important

to know because there's a lot of things

in our lives that we don't have control

over in the waterways that's yes into

the wilderness experience is that you

are disconnected from society

it's up to you you're making these

decisions are being self-reliant you

know no one third it to pick up the

pieces if you blow it wildernesses r is

a risky place it's supposed to be

we're not supposed to take the risk out

of wilderness by putting signs and

guardrails and cutting down every rotten

tree and making everything safe

that's up to you that's up to the

visitor to think intelligently about

those things and manage the risk

intelligently and and enjoy that aspect

of windows when you're back at home in a

nice controlled environment

those are the things you talk about to

its like the things you glorify

afterwards like all the bugs and the

blisters and it's almost this idea of

like you made it you can do it you know

you're out there in the wilderness and

this is what I endured and and it was

fun

yeah retrospect but that's what makes it

interesting you have seen a huge

lightning storm from a safe location is

an amazing thing to do if you're running

with the pack on you're worried about

your life trying to get over that past

then you may not appreciate it but once

you're in a relatively safe spot

yeah it's fantastic same thing with a

lot of other things that we think of as

hazards you know that

he was rushing creek is an amazing thing

to see unless you're trying to get

across and we don't go to the waters to

seek out dangerous situations but

sometimes dangerous situations present

himself in the wilderness and the

decisions you make it those moments are

very important and the teach you a lot

about yourself

I think there's an element of

spirituality to it i think there's an

element of humility people need to

reconnect and see find their place in

the world being wilderness being in the

presence of something so much larger

that doesn't need us that goes on

without us

that's doing just fine without our

having anything to do with it

I think there's a certain power in that

that people can draw from when we come

back to our lives away from the

wilderness your mind tends to be clear

you tend to be at peace and I think it

offers a great opportunity to look back

on your life and have some perspective

the best thing is whatever you bring to

it is whatever you're open to when you

go out there i go out there with an open

mind open heart

I'm gonna get something good out of it

and that's the best thing it's another

one of the experiences about wilderness

that it wakes you up wake up come on out

yeah you know you're really going to

catch it because look at where I am

right now so good

ok

DISCOVER FALLS AT YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK - Duration: 9:56.

water is asleep when it's in a pond

water is drowsy when isn't a slow-moving

river but when water suddenly notices

that the earth has gone away

it wakes up and so a waterfall is water

that has awakened it's awakened to the

reality that is alive and that it's

flowing and that is moving through the

air and that awakening in the water

seems to wake up something us to even

lakes and rivers have that sort of draw

for people but it's not that often that

you have a river that's free falling

through the air

people have always just been attracted

to waterfalls all around the world and I

think it's because it's not all that

often that you see water just pitching

through space when people think of

waterfalls a special hearing similar

valley which has a very high

concentration of hi waterfalls they tend

to think of facts they tend to think of

ribbon fall of the highest single drop

of water in north america around 1,600

feet they tend to think of Yosemite

Falls you know 2425 feet fifth highest

waterfalls in the world but the numbers

don't add up to the beauty of those

Falls every fall has its own unique

character every fall is water saying to

the world

look I could be different over here when

I was over there they have their own

personality

there's a lot of different waterfalls in

this area depends on the time of the

year you come here

the ones that are going right now

include Vernal Falls Nevada falls on the

Merced River bridal veil falls apart of

a creek and some other smaller ones but

this one's named Yosemite Falls it's the

falls

well i think it was given the name

Yosemite Falls because it's the premiere

waterfall in Yosemite Valley bridal veil

is a spectacular waterfall so we're

Nevada falls inverted

balls but they're quite a bit smaller

somebody falls is just right there

I mean when you kind of turn the corner

and you get your first view of it it's

amazing

stupid some reason why people park their

cars in the middle of the road and get

out and start taking pictures completely

oblivious to everything else around them

because it just dominates your attention

i live in Yosemite Valley I live right

underneath the waterfall and you can bet

that i look up at it every single

morning when I step out the door it's

impossible not to be drawn into it

people come out here they're pulled out

of their cars they roll the windows down

first then they can't get out through

the window so they opened the door they

go out the door and they just start

wandering off into the meadow getting

closer to the fall getting closer to the

creek getting closer to the river they

can't help it

people tend to want to get as close as

they can to the edges of waterfalls i

guess to experience that brush that

energy of the water going from a plastic

little stream to a raging free-falling

torrent people are drawn to waterfalls

and sometimes it's hard to know where

that limit is as far as how close you

are drawn to it this morning a man ask

me is there a waterfall nearby that

could stick my head under and you know

you get you get questions like that

sometimes you have to be very careful

here answer him

I can't tell him no you can't stick your

head under the waterfall however i could

say well very slippery rocks all around

the base and it's a lot of water it's

potentially very dangerous situation

that you might be in fortunately with

waterfalls that you know I think you can

get a lot of appreciation from them even

from a distance I mean here we are in

over a mile away and this waterfall is

still phenomenal remember talking to the

visitor here they asked me about

yosemite falls they just said excuse me

but Ranger what's up there I said about

your party i'm looking at that fall

what's above the fall and I said well

above the fall it's a creek

he's a creek I said yeah creek it's the

creek that's kind of meandering and it

reaches the edge of the valley

then it becomes a lot of fall you can

imagine being a drop of water in

Yosemite Creek what would you go through

before you got to that

well first of all you would be melted

snow maybe around the mount Hoffman

tuolumne meadows area there are a lot of

small lakes there there's snow and ice

that persists well into the summer in

most years and the melting snow and ice

is basically what feeds you somebody

creek assembly creek is you know it's

flowing pretty quickly but it's not a

big creek it's not a lot of big

waterfalls really and pretty average

force to train that is flowing through

and then it kind of turns the corner

there and start heading for yosemite

valley and what I always think is neat

about you somebody creek is it as its

flowing along gently through through

that Canyon it has no idea what's ahead

of it you know it has no idea what it's

about to do which is suddenly and very

abruptly reach the rim of Yosemite

Valley and pitch off into a waterfall

that's nearly 2,500 people when you look

at Yosemite Falls it's a journey

there's a beginning section there's a

middle section and there's a conclusion

the beginning section is the most

dramatic because that's where you're

seeing it fall 1,400 feet from the rim

down to that middle gorge once you're in

that middle section the part that I find

very interesting is that it disappears

and you know it's in there but you can't

really quite clearly see it so even

though that's probably the most

photograph waterfalls in north america

there's a section of it that sort of

hidden from view was kind of cutting

into a little into the rock and then it

comes out again at you at the lorry

somebody fall and falls about another

300 feet and we see that so we see that

lower stretch of 300 feet we see that

upper structure 1,400 feet with the 600

feet of mystery in there over the course

of the year the waterfall changes a lot

in winter because the flows are low and

temperatures are cold

there's a lot of opportunity for water

to freeze as it comes

is over the edge of the falls and as

water goes to its vapor state as can

happen as it gets atomized as it falls

that typically super cools the water and

you get ice forming on the cliff but

also at the base of the cliff and what

will happen is when the Sun comes up in

the morning and strikes the cliff there

are 70 falls it will start melting that

ice and then these these big slabs of

ice

I mean tens to hundreds of feet on the

side will come breaking off of the cliff

and crashing down to the base of the

falls and they contribute to that big

ice coming that's developed down there

but in the spring it starts waking up

and how you can tell that it's waking up

is that you hear it really before you

see it

this is increase in volume in the sound

of the fall and that also corresponds to

springtime really arriving in full force

in yosemite valley so the meadows are

green

the trees are leafed out the dogwoods

are flowering from this point on the

snowpack is melting it's not

accumulating there's nothing more being

added to it and eventually by late July

into August these Falls will essentially

dry up

come here in the end of august and you

probably won't see any water at all

look at it now it's kind of surprising

that it runs out of water so we called

in a femoral fall doesn't run all the

time

once the water has disappeared

you can no longer see it you can no

longer hear it you can no longer feel

its presence you start forgetting about

it and you don't even look over because

you know it's not there and then there

comes a night with our clouds and

there's a little bit of rain and then

you come in the next day and then there

it is it had been quiet and pretty much

dry up there for months and then that

one big rainstorm rejuvenated the

waterfall and it was back and it was it

was thundering again even I was sort of

overwhelmed by this presence that was

back in my life you know it's like this

friend of mine had been gone for months

and then it just shown up on the

doorsteps like wow I missed you and I

didn't even realize it

sometimes I think the fall is never more

beautiful than when you think it's gone

forever

there's this sense that that something

that has passed away can return that

maybe there is life after death because

something that seems so categorically

god it's just they're all of a sudden

just overnight
