Richard Norman Shaw RA (7 May 1831 – 17 November 1912) was a British architect who worked from the 1870s to the 1900s, known for his country houses and for commercial buildings.
Shaw was born in Edinburgh, and trained in the London office of William Burn with George Edmund Street and attended the Royal Academy classes, receiving a thorough grounding in classicism, and met William Eden Nesfield, with whom he was briefly in partnership. In 1854–1856 he travelled with a Royal Academy scholarship, collecting sketches that were published as Architectural Sketches from the Continent, 1858.
In 1863, after sixteen years of training, he opened a practice for a short time with Nesfield. In 1872, Shaw was elected an Associate of the Royal Academy.
He worked, among others, for the artists John Callcott Horsley and George Henry Boughton, and the industrialist Lord Armstrong. He designed large houses such as Cragside and Grim's Dyke, as well as a series of commercial buildings in a wide range of styles.
Shaw was elected to the Royal Academy in 1877, and co-edited (with Sir Thomas Jackson RA) the 1892 collection of essays, Architecture, a profession or an Art. He firmly believed it was an art. In later years, Shaw moved to a heavier classical style which influenced the emerging Edwardian Classicism of the early 20th century. Shaw died in London, where he had designed residential buildings in areas such as Pont Street, and public buildings such as New Scotland Yard.
His picturesque early country houses avoided the current Neo-Gothic and the academic styles, reviving vernacular materials like half timber and hanging tiles, with projecting gables and tall massive chimneys with "inglenooks" for warm seating. The result was free and fresh, not slavishly imitating his Jacobean and vernacular models, yet warmly familiar, a parallel to the Arts and Crafts movement. Richard Norman Shaw's houses soon attracted the misnomer the "Queen Anne style". As his powers developed, he dropped some of the mannered detailing, his buildings gained in dignity, and acquired an air of serenity and a quiet homely charm which were less conspicuous in his earlier works; half timber construction was more sparingly used, and finally disappeared entirely.
His work is characterised by ingenious open planning, the Great Hall or "sitting hall" with a staircase running up the side that became familiar in mass-produced housing of the 1890s.
He was also involved in ecclesiastical architecture. He restored St. John's Church, Leeds and designed new churches such as St. Margaret's, Ilkley, All Saints', Leek and All Saints', Richards Castle.
Shaw died in London on 17 November 1912.
An ice shelf is a thick platform of ice that forms at the grounding line of a glacier, where the glacier meets the coastline. Most freshwater on earth is bound in the huge ice shield covering almost entire Antarctica and extending in shelf-ice to the sea. Increasing melt of Antarctic ice would lead to significant sea level rise.

How can you connect your own personal bio-electromagnetic field directly into the Earth’s much larger and slower field in order to discharge high frequency energy that has entered into your field from the environment?
How can you use simple grounding technology help you beat jet lag, boost energy and catch up on years of lost sleep?
Today we are exploring the practice of connecting our body to the Earth’s magnetic field, which is a very low and steady 8hz charge, as this practice allows us to discharge all that high frequency energy that is flying around our environment, altering and distorting our body’s natural bio-electromagnetic field.
Grounding out high frequency energy from our field into the Earth can be done most directly by lying down on the grass, the forest floor or a sandy beach, though there is very simple and effective technology that can allow us to use the electrical grounding system inside any properly wired building in order to connect to the Earth’s balancing 8 Hz charge.
Of course, everyone knows that lying on the beach is incredibly relaxing and there’s been plenty of research into how the concentration of negative ions at the beach are so beneficial for our health because they donate electrons to our bio-electromagnetic field.
And we know that negative ions are produced in mass by the crashing water of the waves, so walking right by the breaking waves is where you get the freshest air. And this is also one reason you may be drawn to linger in the shower, because breathing in the negative ions from crashing water is just really refreshing…
But negative ions are not the only beneficial effect we get from the beach. Walking along the beach also helps our electrical body to connect to the low 8 Hz frequency of the Earth… and this is especially pronounced when you lay down on the beach for a while.
Have you ever laid down on the beach and gotten so relaxed that you get the sensation of feeling you’re actually like, magnetically stuck to the ground? Like the beach is literally holding you down, in a very pleasant and relaxing way, but you are going to have to really uhhhhhh! push! to get yourself up!
And I’m sure you have noticed that you also get very refreshed from laying on the beach like this, and also that if you get up too quickly from this deep relaxation, you feel groggy and a bit discombobulated…. but if you lay there long enough, you end up feeling deeply recharged.
Well, these effects are not due to negative ions but from being so directly connected to the Earth’s slowly oscillating 8 hz frequency.
This low frequency slows your electromagnetic field down immensely, which allows your body to literally “ground out” all those high frequencies that have entered into your field, such as and wifi’s standard 2.4 gigahertz frequency and cell phones with 4 and 5 gigahertz frequencies.
You know, there is an invisible sea of high frequency energy that we are swimming in all the time.
So grounding ourselves to the Earth by laying on the beach or the forest floor is a powerful natural remedy that can help us detoxify at the body’s electromagnetic level, and, as would make sense, this has a very powerful effect on our brain and our nervous system, both of which are highly electrical.
Seen from a more conventional medical perspective, grounding lets our autonomous nervous system drop into a very deep parasympathetic state, which helps to restore our foundation of centered focus, presence, clarity, and restores equilibrium to all the body’s systems.
To do an intention grounding practice, you can lay around on the beach and wait for grounding to happen naturally, but it’s actually pretty easy to do this consciously to speed up the process of grounding. You lay on the beach, on the grass, really anywhere on the earth is fine, and you can use a blanket or a towel to not get too dirty if you prefer, because the electromagnetic frequency of the Earth can definitely pass through fabric. Though having some direct skin contact is probably more effective.

Angelica is a dear friend of mine. Angelica Ojeda is special among the extraordinary “Pioneras” I’ve known. She’s the kind of person you want on your side because she’s a brave truth teller. Her courage seems to spring from a deep spiritual nature that is highly intuitive and healing. She’s one of those strong women in our communities who are sought out for advise, blessings and mother loving because of their strong convictions and grounding. There’s a crusty, take no nonsense tough love way about her that belies incredibly tender generosity.
Angelica’s an entertaining story teller brimming with intelligence, mother wit and a bodacious sense of humor. Angelica’s immigrant story is one that is familiar to many first and second generation Puerto Ricans in the US. Angelica has had a long life of struggle and successes as a businesswoman, wife and parent. She’s the mother of one of my best friends, Diana.

ARTIST STATEMENT:
These are part of an ongoing series of documentary images that memorialize the faces and lives of Latino elders in various community settings.
It's also a meditative reflection of my own aging process and awareness of normal and abnormal declines in memory. The nature of identity and the daily miracle of waking up in the morning re-remembering who I am.......
Memory is the basic stuff that anchors us to our being in time and space...... It's the link to where we've been. Unique to all other living things, it is the vessel for our existential awareness of what we're all moving toward.......our mortality. Our spiritual journey, our humanity.
With any luck and longevity, impending mortality can become an advisor that sits on our shoulder nudging us towards the better part of wisdom....or sometimes simply stirring us awake to the moment.
In “Tuesdays with Morrie” ( www.randomhouse.com/features/morrie/ ) there's a cute story about this.
A little wave bobbing along in the great ocean....having a grand old time.....notices that the waves in front were crashing against the shore. 'My God, this is terrible', the wave says. Look what's going to happen to me! Another wave comes along and says: 'Why do you look so sad? The first wave says: 'you don't understand, we're all going to crash!.....All of us waves are going to be nothing! Isn't this terrible?' The second wave says: 'No, you don't understand....... You're not a wave, you're part of the ocean.'.......
This project is about the experience of feeling like a tiny evanescent “wave” in the ocean of humanity. It is a celebration of life in the face of the inevitable losses encountered in our human journey. More to the point, it is a tribute to my Puerto Rican family and the memory of my parents, Genara Santiago Otaño and Juan Martinez Rodriguez
Beyond this, my friend Don Alfonso Rodriguez has been my muse and pivotal wake-up call to do this project. I thank and acknowledge him and all our elder friends and neighbors from the greater Latin American community and beyond. Most importantly, this work acknowledges the children, spouses, professional caretakers and service agencies (i.e., The Lincoln Square Neighborhood Center, NORC program) that make it possible for our elders to continue living in their own homes. To say the very least, our elders deserve to live and die with dignity.
The saddest part of all of this is the dearth of resources available to make this happen. The poverty rate in 2002 among US Hispanic elderly (65 and older) was 21.4 percent. Compared to other elderly in the US population), they are twice as likely to be living within the poverty levels. ( USDHHS www.aoa.gov/prof/Statistics/minority_aging/Facts-on-Hispa... )
Even sadder still, it's actually worse than reported when one thinks about it. This is because the operational definitions of poverty statistics are politically driven and often under-report actual poverty levels on the ground. Whatever the methodological or other reasons may be, they serve to lessen the culpability and shame of the established political and social order for this growing crisis. No surprise there, .....another “white elephant” hidden in plain sight, eh?
In so many ways, known and unknown, our elders are extraordinary, unsung heros, leaders, workers among workers, dreamers, mentors, nurturers....”Pioneros.... Yes, our collective cultural memory. I am living out many of their dreams. I am co-creating new ones into the future......right now.
All those who've been reading my comments and text, you will notice that the overall narrative is developing in response to your: “favoriting”, “views”, comments, conversations and interactions with me about this project. You are all an interctive parts of this creation.......thank you!!!
This long-term documentary project continues grow for yet another year..... Any ideas for project funding proposals.......promoting an exhibition, book or ";show-and-tell"..???... Let me know :~)
As of 1/16/13, the United States is grounding its Dreamliners until it is satisfied that safety issues have been addressed. In the meantime, despite the groundings, Air New Zealand says it still remains committed to the purchase of these aircraft with delivery scheduled in 2014.
Top U.S. transportation officials said on January 23, 2013 (US time), they still have not determined the cause of electrical problems that have grounded the Boeing 787 Dreamliner fleet globally, but added they are continuing a thorough probe and promised transparency once a cause is found.
"We are evaluating data. We don't know what is causing these incidents yet," Federal Aviation Administration chief Michael Huerta told reporters.
Huerta and his boss, Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, peppered with questions about the grounded plane at an industry event in Washington, promised that the public would be informed about any problems that investigators turn up.
"There will be total transparency," LaHood said. "People will know what we looked at, what we found, if something needed to be corrected. There will be total transparency."
Huerta also explained why the FAA allowed the aircraft to fly on January 11 after a battery caught fire on a plane in Boston -- but grounded it following a 787 emergency landing in Japan four days later prompted by a battery alarm and a report of a burning smell.
"The second incident occurred in flight," Huerta said. "And that for us was an important consideration where we needed to identify what was causing these power- and battery-related incidents."
The National Transportation Safety Board, the FAA, Japanese aviation authorities, and Boeing are investigating the matter.
During an address at the event, LaHood expressed confidence in Boeing's ability to build safe aircraft.
"Our goal is to get this (Dreamliner review) done as quickly as possible," he said, adding that the FAA needs "to get to the bottom of the recent issues."
Currently, United Airlines is the only U.S. airline with 787s with six. Worldwide, there are 50 in service but several hundred on order at Boeing.
LaHood declined to speculate on how long the FAA's review would take.
"I'm not going to comment in the middle of their review. Frankly I haven't talked to them," LaHood said. "We need to let them finish their work. These are expert people. They'll get to the bottom it and then we'll let all of you know what they find out." - CNN report
In news from January 24, 2013, United States safety regulators say they are nowhere near finishing an investigation into a battery fire on a Boeing 787 in Boston, raising the prospect of a prolonged grounding of the Dreamliner plane.
Airlines have cancelled hundreds of flights in the eight days since the plane was grounded, and Boeing has stopped deliveries of newly built jets.
National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) chairwoman Deborah Hersman says investigators have found a series of symptoms in the fire-damaged battery, but not the underlying cause of the problem.
"We are early in our investigation, we have a lot of activities to undertake," she said.
"This is an unprecedented event. We are very concerned.
"We do not expect to see fire events on board aircraft.
"This is a very serious air safety concern."
Ms Hersman rebuffed multiple questions on how long the investigation would take, making it clear it could take weeks or more.
She also would not say when the plane would fly again, a verdict which is in the hands of the Federal Aviation Administration.
"It is really very hard to tell at this point how long this investigation will take. We have all hands on deck," Ms Hersman said.
"We're working as hard as we can to identify what the failure mode is here and what corrective actions need to be taken."
The planes have been grounded worldwide since an All Nippon Airways plane made an emergency landing in Japan on January 16 after a battery incident, which Ms Hersman said may or may not have been a fire.
The landing came after a fire occurred on a Japan Airlines 787 on the tarmac in Boston.
Former NTSB chairman Mark Rosenker said other new planes had problems when they were introduced, but not fires, which makes this situation stand out.
"Fire is something you don't fool with. You've got to understand that, particularly given the short period of time the aircraft has been flying," he said.
Boeing was not immediately available to comment on the latest NTSB statement.
France's Thales, which makes the 787 battery system, declined to comment.
The NTSB and its Japanese equivalent are working together on their probes.
Boeing's 787 program was already years behind schedule before last week's grounding, which means the company cannot deliver newly manufactured planes to customers.
Customers like United Continental Holdings may now have to wait even longer for planes on order.
But United chairman and chief executive officer Jeff Simsek say "history teaches us that all new aircraft types have issues and the 787 is no different".
"We continue to have confidence in the aircraft and in Boeing's ability to fix the issues, just as they have done on every other new aircraft model they've produced."
The full financial impact on plane-maker Boeing is still not clear.
Despite the investigation, Boeing shares are actually up 1.3 per cent since regulators said the plane, full of high-tech innovations that are supposed to be a model for future aviation, could not fly. - ABC News.

The grounding of a bulk carrier ship near Prince Rupert this week highlights the grave risk of an oil spill if tanker traffic is allowed to increase dramatically on the North Coast, environmentalists and First Nations warn.
The 228-metre Amakusa Island ran aground Monday night in Prince Rupert’s outer harbour while it moved to an assigned anchorage from a berth at the Ridley Terminals coal terminal. The incident ripped a gash in the ship’s hull and caused the flooding of two ballast tanks.
Although the cause of the grounding is still under investigation, Coastal First Nations executive director Art Sterritt pointed out that weather conditions at the time were “very, very, very, very good.” Human error, on the other hand, is unpredictable.
“Mistakes happen, and no matter what kind of technology you have or how good your pilots are or anything else — all the stuff that Northern Gateway has been throwing at us — at the end of the day, people are fallible and accidents happen,” Sterritt said.
One defence Enbridge has used to counter safety concerns about tankers carrying oil from the proposed Northern Gateway pipeline is that those ships would be guided by local pilots familiar with the curves of the coast.
However, a licensed B.C. pilot was on board the Amakusa Island at the time it grounded.
Although B.C.’s pilots are “some of the finest mariners on the coast,” they can’t be expected to prevent every accident, said Brian Falconer, marine operations coordinator for Raincoast Conservation Society.
“When they claim that 99.6-per-cent success rate, they’re doing thousands of movements a year, so that’s three or four incidents per year. It’s inevitable. If you’re going to have this kind of traffic you’re going to have these incidents involving big ships,” he said.
The port authority and Canadian Coast Guard have both assessed the ship and determined that there has been no environmental impact from the incident. Investigators from the Transportation Safety Board (TSB) made the trip to Prince Rupert on Tuesday and are now trying to determine the cause and contributing factors of the grounding.
The carrier took on water when it ran aground and is still listing after being refloated and anchored.
Groundings are very infrequent at the port, according to Michael Gurney, spokesman for the Prince Rupert Port Authority.
From 2004 to 2013, there were 31 shipping accidents involving bulk carriers and oil/ore carriers on the west coast of Canada, according to TSB statistics. That includes four major incidents in the second half of 2012, one of which was the last grounding seen at the Prince Rupert port before this week.
In that case, the container ship’s captain was forced to manoeuvre suddenly in order to avoid a fishing vessel that wasn’t responding to radio calls.
“These are the same situations that pilots on oil tankers will face on the northern B.C. coast,” Falconer said.
“Whether it’s the Exxon Valdez, or the Costa Concordia, or the Queen of the North or this, it’s always human error that causes these issues.”
Enbridge has said that it will install land-based radar along the North Coast as well as new lights, beacons and buoys in Douglas Channel to help guide tankers to and from Northern Gateway’s terminal at Kitimat. The company also says all tankers will be double-hulled, less than 20 years old and certified by the International Maritime Association.
But Falconer believes Enbridge is underestimating the inherent hazards of shipping oil by tanker. One big concern is the region’s weather — particularly, fog.
Raincoast Conservation Society was an official intervener in the National Energy Board hearings into the Northern Gateway proposal, and Falconer cross-examined Enbridge experts.
“They said fog is well forecast on the coast, and periods of fog only last a couple of hours at a time,” he said.
“I spent 35 years on the north coast of B.C. sailing and I’ve seen two, three days at a time of zero visibility.”
Enbridge representatives did not respond by press time Wednesday to requests for comment about concerns raised by the Prince Rupert grounding.

“Whether it’s the Exxon Valdez, or the Costa Concordia, or the Queen of the North or this, it’s always human error that causes these issues.”
Enbridge has said that it will install land-based radar along the North Coast as well as new lights, beacons and buoys in Douglas Channel to help guide tankers to and from Northern Gateway’s terminal at Kitimat. The company also says all tankers will be double-hulled, less than 20 years old and certified by the International Maritime Association.
But Falconer believes Enbridge is underestimating the inherent hazards of shipping oil by tanker. One big concern is the region’s weather — particularly, fog.
Raincoast Conservation Society was an official intervener in the National Energy Board hearings into the Northern Gateway proposal, and Falconer cross-examined Enbridge experts.
“They said fog is well forecast on the coast, and periods of fog only last a couple of hours at a time,” he said.
“I spent 35 years on the north coast of B.C. sailing and I’ve seen two, three days at a time of zero visibility.”
Enbridge representatives did not respond by press time Wednesday to requests for comment about concerns raised by the Prince Rupert grounding.

The grounding of a bulk carrier ship near Prince Rupert this week highlights the grave risk of an oil spill if tanker traffic is allowed to increase dramatically on the North Coast, environmentalists and First Nations warn.
The 228-metre Amakusa Island ran aground Monday night in Prince Rupert’s outer harbour while it moved to an assigned anchorage from a berth at the Ridley Terminals coal terminal. The incident ripped a gash in the ship’s hull and caused the flooding of two ballast tanks.
Although the cause of the grounding is still under investigation, Coastal First Nations executive director Art Sterritt pointed out that weather conditions at the time were “very, very, very, very good.” Human error, on the other hand, is unpredictable.
“Mistakes happen, and no matter what kind of technology you have or how good your pilots are or anything else — all the stuff that Northern Gateway has been throwing at us — at the end of the day, people are fallible and accidents happen,” Sterritt said.
One defence Enbridge has used to counter safety concerns about tankers carrying oil from the proposed Northern Gateway pipeline is that those ships would be guided by local pilots familiar with the curves of the coast.
However, a licensed B.C. pilot was on board the Amakusa Island at the time it grounded.
Although B.C.’s pilots are “some of the finest mariners on the coast,” they can’t be expected to prevent every accident, said Brian Falconer, marine operations coordinator for Raincoast Conservation Society.
“When they claim that 99.6-per-cent success rate, they’re doing thousands of movements a year, so that’s three or four incidents per year. It’s inevitable. If you’re going to have this kind of traffic you’re going to have these incidents involving big ships,” he said.
The port authority and Canadian Coast Guard have both assessed the ship and determined that there has been no environmental impact from the incident. Investigators from the Transportation Safety Board (TSB) made the trip to Prince Rupert on Tuesday and are now trying to determine the cause and contributing factors of the grounding.
The carrier took on water when it ran aground and is still listing after being refloated and anchored.
Groundings are very infrequent at the port, according to Michael Gurney, spokesman for the Prince Rupert Port Authority.
From 2004 to 2013, there were 31 shipping accidents involving bulk carriers and oil/ore carriers on the west coast of Canada, according to TSB statistics. That includes four major incidents in the second half of 2012, one of which was the last grounding seen at the Prince Rupert port before this week.
In that case, the container ship’s captain was forced to manoeuvre suddenly in order to avoid a fishing vessel that wasn’t responding to radio calls.
“These are the same situations that pilots on oil tankers will face on the northern B.C. coast,” Falconer said.
“Whether it’s the Exxon Valdez, or the Costa Concordia, or the Queen of the North or this, it’s always human error that causes these issues.”

Dear Mom and Dad,
I'm home and have rested and spent some quiet hours alone with William, which has been a huge, and grounding, blessing. I knew ahead of time that my trip to Israel and the Palestinian territories would be stimulating and challenging, but it was more - much more - than I could have expected. There is so much to think about, and so much more I wish we could all do to promote peace and justice in the world. :-(
The Church of the Holy Sepulchre, where this photo was taken, was built in 330 A.D by Emperor Constantine. Of course it's been destroyed a couple of times, once by the Persians and once by the Egyptians, rebuilt again in the 1800s in the Crusader period.
The church is built on the hill where by best estimations, Christ was crucified, brought down from the cross and buried. Inside we find the Stone of the Anointing. While the Stone of Anointing and the central shrine are claimed by three denominations of the Christian faith - Eastern Orthodox, Roman Catholic and Armenian Apostolic - the area is also populated with places of worship belonging to the specific denominations exclusively. In short, if you go there on a Sunday, you might see three services taking place, because each denomination has its own version of the story of Christ's time here on earth and His message for all of us.
The Christian quarter is just one of FOUR to be found here in the Old City part of Jerusalem. Sharing with the Christians, we have the Armenian Quarter, the Jewish Quarter, and the Muslim Quarter, each with their own Church and struggling interpretations of particular faith. Imagine the complications, but also, imagine how beautiful, one tiny hill claiming to be the holiest of sites for so many who seek God.
And so this to start off a complicated conversation, around land and faith and ethnicity, not to mention what happens when we begin to talk about class, gender, sexual preference...
Now, to more coffee. William and I will go over to Oakland today to watch Jamie play basketball, assuming she plays, and if she wakes up soon enough to return my call. I'm looking forward to being in touch with you all again.
My love always forever and ever,
Your daughter.
Although, the chances of actually getting there in the first place, miles from the nearest road, are fairly slim.

The grounding of planes for 3 days in the United States after September 11, 2001 provided the rare opportunity for scientists to study the effects of contrails on climate. These (and other) measurements showed that condensation trails produced by aircrafts have a significant impact on earth climate (global warming).
For photographers contrails sometimes only look "nice"....

How can you connect your own personal bio-electromagnetic field directly into the Earth’s much larger and slower field in order to discharge high frequency energy that has entered into your field from the environment?
How can you use simple grounding technology help you beat jet lag, boost energy and catch up on years of lost sleep?
Today we are exploring the practice of connecting our body to the Earth’s magnetic field, which is a very low and steady 8hz charge, as this practice allows us to discharge all that high frequency energy that is flying around our environment, altering and distorting our body’s natural bio-electromagnetic field.
Grounding out high frequency energy from our field into the Earth can be done most directly by lying down on the grass, the forest floor or a sandy beach, though there is very simple and effective technology that can allow us to use the electrical grounding system inside any properly wired building in order to connect to the Earth’s balancing 8 Hz charge.
Of course, everyone knows that lying on the beach is incredibly relaxing and there’s been plenty of research into how the concentration of negative ions at the beach are so beneficial for our health because they donate electrons to our bio-electromagnetic field.
And we know that negative ions are produced in mass by the crashing water of the waves, so walking right by the breaking waves is where you get the freshest air. And this is also one reason you may be drawn to linger in the shower, because breathing in the negative ions from crashing water is just really refreshing…
But negative ions are not the only beneficial effect we get from the beach. Walking along the beach also helps our electrical body to connect to the low 8 Hz frequency of the Earth… and this is especially pronounced when you lay down on the beach for a while.
Have you ever laid down on the beach and gotten so relaxed that you get the sensation of feeling you’re actually like, magnetically stuck to the ground? Like the beach is literally holding you down, in a very pleasant and relaxing way, but you are going to have to really uhhhhhh! push! to get yourself up!
And I’m sure you have noticed that you also get very refreshed from laying on the beach like this, and also that if you get up too quickly from this deep relaxation, you feel groggy and a bit discombobulated…. but if you lay there long enough, you end up feeling deeply recharged.
Well, these effects are not due to negative ions but from being so directly connected to the Earth’s slowly oscillating 8 hz frequency.
This low frequency slows your electromagnetic field down immensely, which allows your body to literally “ground out” all those high frequencies that have entered into your field, such as and wifi’s standard 2.4 gigahertz frequency and cell phones with 4 and 5 gigahertz frequencies.
You know, there is an invisible sea of high frequency energy that we are swimming in all the time.
So grounding ourselves to the Earth by laying on the beach or the forest floor is a powerful natural remedy that can help us detoxify at the body’s electromagnetic level, and, as would make sense, this has a very powerful effect on our brain and our nervous system, both of which are highly electrical.
Seen from a more conventional medical perspective, grounding lets our autonomous nervous system drop into a very deep parasympathetic state, which helps to restore our foundation of centered focus, presence, clarity, and restores equilibrium to all the body’s systems.
To do an intention grounding practice, you can lay around on the beach and wait for grounding to happen naturally, but it’s actually pretty easy to do this consciously to speed up the process of grounding. You lay on the beach, on the grass, really anywhere on the earth is fine, and you can use a blanket or a towel to not get too dirty if you prefer, because the electromagnetic frequency of the Earth can definitely pass through fabric. Though having some direct skin contact is probably more effective.

The soldiers, RAF personnel, medics and support staff who have been deployed in Afghanistan for six months.
HMS Albion has also rescued about 280 British nationals also stranded by the ash
The ninth and current HMS Albion (2001-present) is a First-of-Class Landing Platform Dock (LPD) ship of the Royal Navy built in Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, England, UK. Albion is one of the newest ships of the Navy and provides an amphibious assault capability. She is the nameship of the Albion class landing platform dock, which also includes HMS Bulwark. The ship also carries a permanently-embarked Royal Marines landing craft unit, 6 Assault Squadron, Royal Marines.
She was launched on 9 March 2001 and was commissioned on 19 June 2003 by her sponsor The Princess Royal.
Class and type: Albion class landing platform dock
Displacement: 18,500 tonnes , 21,500 tonnes whilst 'docked down'
Length: 176 m
Beam: 28.9 m
Draught: 7.1 m
Speed: 18 knots
Range: 7,000 nautical miles
Complement: 325
Armament:
2 × Goalkeeper CIWS
2 × 20 mm close range guns
4 × Machine gun positions
Seagnat Decoy System
The vehicle cargo capacity (twice that of the Fearless) is 6 Challenger-2 main battle tanks or 16 2-ton trucks, 36 smaller vehicles, and 30 tons of stores. There are 550 linear meters of vehicle parking space, with MacGregor hoistable internal vehicle ramps from the lower vehicle deck to the upper deck aft and between the lower and mezzanine decks forward and amidships.
The hullform is adapted from that of modern commercial vehicle/passenger ferries and incorporates a bow bulb; its structure exceeds naval strength standards. A computerized ballasting system preserves trim while loading and unloading.
The flight deck has two landing spot capable of handling medium support helicopters and stowing a third on the deck. The flight deck is capable of taking a Chinook helicopter. The vessels do not have a hanger but have equipment needed to support flying operations.
The surge protector combined with the extra outlets gives us plenty of convenience for add ons later.

The electromagnetic field cannot be avoided because every space is occupied with the radiation. Now, the concerning factor is whether these fields affect our health or not. Most health care agencies say that EMF causes so many health issues, even cancer. Find the best protection for your home and health. The advent of 5G makes the situation even worse. You need to buy EMF shielding products for the protections. Buy EMF shielding meter to measure the level of electromagnetic fields. Besides this, you have other products to buy. An EMF filter is the option that removes the pollution from the environment. You can even buy EMF shielding skull cap, gloves, fabric, and more. FilterEMF is a place where quality shielding materials are available. You can send them your requirements and they come up with the right solutions. So, for buying EMF shielding products, visit FilterEMF.
