Thursday, August 18, 2011:
Jesus said: “My people, I am showing you in this vision how you need to have a small tent ready that could hold at least four people. You also need to know how to put it up and maybe practice once in a while to keep your skill ready. This vision of people in tents is when you will need them overnight on your way to My refuges. You may also need them at My refuge before your dormitory can be made, or you may need them for warmth in a cave. At one point I recommended that My faithful camp out overnight in a park just to experience your needs. You practiced in the summer, but you also need to try it in colder weather to see what is needed. You may need some STERNO or propane heaters for warmth in the cold. This is also a good time to see that you can find your tent and have it ready with your backpacks, food, and water so you can load these things into your vehicle in a short time. I have mentioned this several times to be ready, but some are too lazy to put these preparations into action. You are going to be tested with a coming persecution, so it is not a matter of if it will happen, but when it will happen.”

Prayer Group:
Jesus said: “My people, it is good to take some quiet time so you can contemplate on your actions and remember your sins. At night when it is quiet, it is a time to recollect any misdeeds that you may have committed that day. By keeping these thoughts in mind, you can now make a good Confession to the priest. At times your life’s events can run together, and it may be difficult to recall your sins. By analyzing each day, then you can better remember your faults.”

Jesus said: “My son, you have gone to many places that had exposition of My Blessed Sacrament in your travels. It is true at every place of Adoration that you have felt My peace and grace in My Presence. Most people give reverence to My Real Presence by kneeling on both knees. I invite everyone to come to see Me in daily Adoration in the monstrance or in My tabernacle. All of your visits will gain My graces for your devotion to Me.”

Jesus said: “My people, in some areas your rains have returned to help your crops mature. These stands of wheat are a sign of your coming harvest that will be more than was forecasted by your bad weather and heat. Be grateful for all the food that is harvested in this bad growing year for crops. These flowers represent your thanks to Me for all the crops that will be harvested. Many do not realize how your farmers are at the mercy of any weather conditions in growing their crops. Give praise and glory to Me that you have enough food to provide for your needs.”

Jesus said: “My people, you all need to take proper care of your body according to the understanding of the Fifth Commandment. What I am saying is that it can be sinful to abuse your body with drugs, cigarettes, drinking, and overeating. This is how some people die from lung cancer or cirrhosis of the liver. Some who overeat can have other problems as diabetes. By taking proper care of your body, you can have many years to carry out the mission that I have given each soul. Encourage your family to avoid these addictions so they do not abuse their bodies. These abuses can be sins enough to confess to the priest in Confession.”

Jesus said: “My people, you all have various skills that you use in your work to earn a living. At times a neighbor may ask your help when you could use your special skills to help him. I am generous with My gifts to all of you, so you should also be generous with your time to help your neighbors. By helping them without expecting payment, you will be storing up graces in heaven for your good deeds. If you had to ask the same favor from your neighbor, you would hope that he would be willing to help you. This is another way that you could be rewarded by someone helping you in return.”

Jesus said: “My people, when you are moving into a new house or a new apartment, it is expected that family members should help each other. Your true friends also may feel obligated to help you in your need. These people do not have to do this, but they are doing it out of the kindness of their hearts. When you help people in need, they will respect your love and concern even more. They also will feel compelled to help you in your needs. By helping each other in such opportunities, you can gain graces as well in being a close part of the lives of your family and friends. When people have helped you, you need to thank them and offer your own services in the future. Just as I answer your prayers, you should thank Me also for the gifts that I give you.”

Jesus said: “My people, in your everyday lives it is not always possible to evangelize souls or help the poor in foreign lands. This is why when missionaries ask for your help, you need to help them as much as you can with donations and prayers. Even your local food shelves are requesting food or donations for the poor in your neighborhood. Be generous to the poor who have difficulty in obtaining food and getting jobs. Again your good works will gain you graces in heaven.”

Wednesday, August 17, 2011:
Jesus said: “My people, this vision of traveling through a dark tunnel symbolizes how people are tested in this life to see if they can endure the trials of life and come to Me in faith. This story of the owner of the vineyard reminds people that you can still be saved until the last hour, but do not play brinkmanship with your eternal soul. There are a fair number of people that do not even acknowledge Me in their lives. I am ignored which is even worse than those who hate Me. It is these lukewarm souls who need the most attention to wake them up to My existence. Because these people think they can do everything for themselves, they do not see all the gifts that I have given them. My faithful need to keep praying for these lukewarm souls so they can come into My Light before they die and not be lost. People need to give Me all the glory for their gifts and accomplishments. Then they would realize how they cannot live without My help. When the workers complained about their wages, this wage was the entrance into heaven. But some souls are rewarded more by being allowed into the higher levels of heaven. I am just in My punishments and My rewards, so no one will feel cheated at My judgment of souls. So do not wait until the last moment to come to Me for forgiveness on your death bed, because you may die suddenly without time to be saved.”

Jesus said: “My people, in the parable of the owner of a vineyard, he went out at various times of the day to hire workers for his vineyard. All the workers received the same daily wage, even those who only worked one hour. Those, who worked the whole day, thought they should have received more than those who only worked for one hour. So they complained to the owner. The owner asked them if they were envious because of his generosity to all the workers. I am truly generous Myself to everyone. To those, who believe in Me and follow My Commandments, I will give abundant graces. I have given My people My most generous gift of all in giving you Myself in My Blessed Sacrament. You can come to Me in Adoration at My tabernacle wherever the door is open to visit Me. All of My daily adorers have a special place in My heart because they have chosen the better portion as Mary, the sister of Lazarus.”

Jesus said: “My people, this vision of a crumbling building is a sign that your American government is crumbling down as well. The biggest reason that your government is failing is because it is not adhering to your original Constitution. Right now the Executive branch is setting up too many czars for various committees outside of the President’s jurisdiction. Even the Congress has usurped its power to declare war and print money with control by the Federal Reserve of central bankers. Congress also is using Reconciliation acts to fund money instead of the normal budget process. Congress is assigning a super committee to find budget cuts when it should be doing this itself. Your people are finally waking up to the fact that your budgets are too heavy into spending when 40% of your budget requires borrowing to balance it. The question becomes: who is going to buy all of this debt? Europe is having the same problem with Italy and Spain. Entitlements are taking too much of your income to finance. America can no longer afford your welfare government handouts. There are many places in the budget that need cutting where there is fraud and agencies that are no longer serving their function. Instead of growing government, you need to be cutting it down in size so your people are not taxed so much to pay for this excessive spending. By returning to balanced budgets as your states do, then your debt would not grow so fast. Lobbyists and the one world people control your representatives in Congress which is why it is hard to pass legislation that helps the people instead of helping special interest groups. Your finances will soon crash, which will allow the evil ones to take over. When you see bankruptcy, martial law, and mandatory chips in the body come, then My faithful will need to leave for My refuges of protection.”

Worlds Near Earth

 

Cruithne isn't actually another Moon of Earth it is rather weirder.

Cruithne is approximately 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) in diameter, and its closest approach to Earth is approximately thirty times the separation between Earth and the Moon(12 Gm or twelve million kilometres)., i orbit around the Sun in approximate 1:1 orbital resonance with the Earth. Thus, in relation to Earth it doesn't orbit around us but in a strange horseshoe shape, near us. It was discovered in 1986.

2006 Rh130 (found in 2006) is another but rather to small to be of interest. as is 2002AA29

There has been a history of announced discoveries of new Moons. Not particularly surprising when you realise how unusual the real one is, being both enormous compared to its primary and alone.

The best known disappearing planet is Vulcan (no not that one|) which was assumed to be within the orbit of Mercury. The assumption was reasonable since it was based on calculations by the man who discovered Neptune by the same method.

In the early 1840s the brilliant young mathematician Urbain Le Verrier (1811-71) spent months carrying out painstaking calculations (by hand with ink and paper), analysing the position of Uranus to pinpoint where the hypothetical planet’s effect on Uranus began. (At the same time as he was investigating the anomalous motion of Uranus in the distant outer darkness, he was also studying the innermost Solar System which had a mystery of its own.)

By 1846, Le Verrier completed his calculations, which showed that the planet ought to lie between Aquarius and Capricorn, and posted them to the Berlin Observatory (no French observers were interested, such was the novelty of Le Verrier’s reasoning). Within a day of receiving Le Verrier’s missive German astronomers led by Johann Galle (1812-1910) used his calculations to discover the no longer theoretical planet on 23 September 1846. It was with 1° of the calculated position. The planet was duly named Neptune and Galle and Le Verrier were lauded as the planet’s co-discoverers...

Buoyed by this triumph, he further investigated the inner Solar System anomaly alluded to earlier. Sometimes Mercury wasn’t where it should be! The orbits of the planets could be predicted perfectly- apart from Mercury’s.

Planetary orbits are not circles, but ellipses and Mercury’s orbit was the least circular (or most “eccentric”) known. Mercury varies from as close as 46 million km from the Sun (“perihelion”) before climbing as far as 70 million km from the Sun when it is at the opposite side of its orbit (“aphelion”). This was all in accordance with the laws of planetary motion discovered by Kepler and explained by Newton. The problem was that Mercury kept reaching the low point of its orbit early and the high point late. The discrepancy was tiny (so tiny as to invoke awe for the observational skills of the astronomers of the period who measured it) but disconcerting. Could Newton have been wrong?
Le Verrier said not, but after thoroughly studying observations of Mercury going back to the 1600s, he also proved that Mercury’s odd shifting orbit was not due to the gravitational pulls of Venus, Earth and Mars. Instead a previously unseen planet between Mercury and the Sun must be to blame.

Vulcan was discovered transiting the Sun in March 1859 by a physician and amateur astronomer named Edmond Modeste Lescarbault (1814 -94)....Le Verrier formally announced Vulcan’s discovery in March 1860. In France Le Verrier and Lescarbault were hailed as heroes

In fact it didn't exist. The even more incredible truth was that Newton could be wrong. These same calculations were, much later, part of Einstein's proof of Relativity.

Finally it turns out that Earth has a Trojan satellite.

Lagrangian points, lie along a planet's orbit — one ahead of the planet and one behind it. Drawing straight lines between the Earth, the sun and a Lagrangian point produces a triangle whose sides are equal in length. An asteroid there would hover in the sky at a 60-degree angle from the sun.

Any object that close to the sun would be difficult to see from Earth because it would be overhead mostly during broad daylight, as invisible as the stars.
But Martin Connors, a space scientist at Athabasca University in Alberta, Canada, had an idea. Maybe NASA's Wide-Field Infrared Survey Explorer, which aims its lens 90 degrees away from the sun, would be able to pick up an oddball Trojan with an eccentric orbit.
Indeed it did. Connors found one candidate whose strange path over six days in late 2010 seemed to match the unevenly elongated orbit typical of Trojans. His team confirmed the Trojan's identity by spotting it a few months later with another telescope in Hawaii.

"This is pretty cool," said Amy Mainzer, a scientist at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory who wasn't involved in the study, which was published online Wednesday (ie 27th July 2011) by the journal Nature. "It's a new class of near-Earth object that's been hypothesized to exist."

And if more Trojan asteroids can be found, researchers said, they could be ideal for astronaut visits and the mining of precious resources. (This particular asteroid is too tilted with respect to the solar system to make a good candidate, Mainzer said.)

Cool indeed. If there is one there are going to be more. For a long time authors, from Gerry Anderson to John Norman have speculated about a planet on the opposite side of Earth's orbit and thus permanently behind the Sun. Actually that would not be a mathematically stable point and the perturbations of Jupiter would eventually move it out of that position. Depending on the planet's mass (Trojan points are only stable for masses much smaller than the parent body) the effect might be spectacular.

However with the technology we have now we are perfectly capable of building L5 settlements out of asteroids. We may not have found Earthlike planets but we can build Earthlike settlements.

Government E-Petitions

 

Here is the government's list of petitions on the site they put up asking us to suggest things that should be debated in Parliament if they get over 100,000 votes. This is in order of the number of votes cast. There is no promise to carry out any of them, that would be bypassing the role of Parliament. It doesn't even guarantee that they will get a full formal debate, if there is a very good reason, but Parliament has to say why if any of them are refused.

However there clearly is considerable pressure to have a debate where it has been asked for and most politicians would tend to support something that was the obvious public will (or at least pretend to do so). I think this may turn out to be a very useful reform - much more useful than the Cabinet thought when they offered it.

The size of votes are, so far, not overwhelming, and individual voting clearly can help push it up the listing bringing a cascade effect - the difference between the one at the bottom of the 1st page and the one starting the 2nd page is only 167 votes. One can also see that the #2has been reached by a campaign among a relatively limited number of people (football fans inn Liverpool).

Here are the first 2 pages. I strongly suggest you make use of this. Like voting in elections, it may not change much but it is the most power we can exercise and if we refuse to do what we can we can have no complaint about not being able to do more.I have noted the ones I support and why. I hope most of you will agree with most of them but would be worried if everybody agreed with them all.

Tuesday, August 16, 2011: (St. Stephen of Hungary)
Jesus said: “My people, when I came on the earth as a man I told you that the Kingdom of God is upon you. Soon by the vision of this clock, you will again see events lead up to My coming again. My power extends throughout all the universe and I am always present. Accepting Me into your life should be your goal because I am the only means by which you can enter heaven. It is this conversion in faith to believing in God that I request of every soul. (John 3:5-6) ‘Amen, amen, I say to thee, unless a man be born again of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.’ My Presence is among you in many ways, especially in My sacramental Real Presence in My Eucharist. I am with you in My Blessed Sacrament to the end of time, and you welcome Me into your pure heart when you receive Me worthily in Holy Communion. It is when you commit serious sin that your soul is separated from Me. This is why you need to come to Me in Confession through the priest so I can forgive your sins and restore My grace to your soul. By keeping your soul cleansed of sin by frequent Confession and accepting Me as Master of your life, you will receive your reward with Me in the Kingdom of heaven.”

Jesus said: “My people, this vision of a bull against the stars represents how Wall Street has lost contact with reality. Your markets are so concentrated on greed, that they are not helping your country or its people when they only make money for the rich. Whenever these companies invest money in jobs, it is usually outside of your country. This process of exporting your jobs and wealth is why there are few good manufacturing jobs available. So when your candidates and your President say they want to have more jobs in America, it becomes empty rhetoric when your corporations are not providing jobs in America. Unless there are taxes or tariffs on incoming goods, or penalties are placed on exporting jobs, there are no incentives for businesses to change how they work. There should be more studies on how many jobs have left your country to explain why you have such high unemployment rates. Your people need to face the reality that your jobs have left and you are now a prisoner to getting most of your goods from China. Your corporations are building up a communist nation by investing more in China than in your own country. The one world people are orchestrating this exporting of your wealth so you will become bankrupt, and they will take you over for a cheap price. It is almost too late to change your government, so prepare to go to My refuges where you will be protected and cared for.”
