Shale Gas by Jimmy Dunn

JS Ineos Intuition which is a LNG Tanker was built in 2017. She is 180.3 meters long, 26.6 meters wide and has a draught of 9.2 meters. She sails under the flag of Malta, and has a carrying capacity of 27500 cubic meters Liquid Gas She is seen here on the River Forth, sailing past the City of Edinburgh, Scotland. Her home port is Valletta. Now you may ask what has a modern tankers to do with 100 years or more of history. .Read on.

The main rock formation of interest for shale gas exploration in the UK is called the Bowland Shale Formation, which occurs across a large area of central Britain. These shales were deposited in marine basins during the Visean and Namurian stages of the Carboniferous period (between 347 and 318 million years ago) when the UK was located around the equator. Carboniferous marine shales can reach thicknesses of up to 5000 m and contain enough organic matter (1–3 per cent, but locally over 10 per cent) to generate hydrocarbons. The Bowland Shale Formation is not restricted to the onshore environment; the basins extend offshore beneath the Southern North Sea and the East Irish Sea.Andrews (2013) estimated a total gas-in-place estimate for the Bowland Shale Formation and Hodder Mudstone Formation between 822 and 2281 trillion cubic feet (tcf). As a comparison, the total gas consumption in 2018 in the UK was 2.98 tcf.

Since then, other estimates have suggested the total gas-in-place volume could be considerably less (around 140 tcf; Whitelaw et al., 2019).Middle Carboniferous, organic-rich shales are also found in the subsurface Midland Valley of Scotland (Girvan to Greenock in the west; Dunbar to Stonehaven in the east) as part of the Strathclyde Group and the Clackmannan group. There, the shales reach a thickness of about 3000 m, contain 2–6 percent organic carbon and are considered as a potential target for shale gas exploration. Monaghan (2014) suggested a total of 49.4–134.6 tcf gas-in-place for the Midland Valley of Scotland.

My intuition told me he was the one after the first time we made love. This is the ring he gave me when he told me he loved me.

The ring was top heavy and wouldn't stand up on it's own, so I spun it hoping I could get a pic of the word love that is cut out in the side, as it slowed. You can kinda see it, its still neat you can see the spinning motion.

Shakira - Pure Intuition

Let us be wrong and let's begin

A mistake that turns into perfection

I want to see you sliding in

my underworld

This time I plan to let you win

I'll be a victim of my own invention

Let us be wrong and let's begin

Once and for all

What heaven weaves and braids no man shall undo

And I've been custom-made for no one but you

you know it's now or never

I have a feeling inside

(Despacio, despacio, comienzas a caer)

And intuition's always been a woman's guide

(Te siento, te siento, desde antes de nacer)

We've been wanting each other since before we were born

(Adentro, adentro te vas quedando)

And I will want you even after I am gone

(Así, estoy dispuesta a todo amor)

This time I plan to let you win

I'll be here in full subordination

I'll be devoted to your will

Once and for all

Love is only pain disguised as a kiss

So make me feel it now

Let's get on with this

and the sooner the better

I have a feeling inside

(Despacio, despacio, comienzas a caer)

And intuition's always been a woman's guide

(Te siento, te siento, desde antes de nacer)

We've been wanting each other since before we were born

(Adentro, adentro te vas quedando)

And I will want you even after I am gone

(Así, estoy dispuesta a todo)

I have a feeling inside

(Despacio, despacio, comienzas a caer)

And intuition's always been a woman's guide

(Te siento, te siento, desde antes de nacer)

We've been wanting each other since before we were born

(Adentro, adentro te vas quedando)

And I will love you even after I am gone

After I am gone...

I just love when I can express an idea in an unusual way. The intuitive process of 'dreaming-up' something from bits and peices of my past experience turns my crank.

Ituitive thought process seems to be connected to right brain activity while drawing from the knowledge of the left brain. People have at times accused me of being 'nuts' hehehe they just don't understand...

Todd Matthews by Renegade98

Artist Todd Matthews works on a sketch of Sarah de Vries. Matthew's group Project EDAN has sketched 27 original pictures of Robert Pickton's alleged victims.

RYCK KALONICK/SPECIAL TO THE VANCOUVER SUN

Sketches express softer side of missing women.

A group of artists has created images of Willy Pickton's alleged victims that reveal real women behind their grim mug shots

Lori Culbert

Vancouver Sun

Saturday, December 17, 2005

It was the sad faces, the dishevelled hair, and the startled eyes of the women missing from the Downtown Eastside that bothered Tennessee artist Todd Matthews.

Those grim police mug shots were the only photographs the public have seen of many of the 27 women Port Coquitlam pig farmer Robert (Willy) Pickton is accused of murdering.

In them, the women look tired, scared and worn-down -- a reflection, most likely, of difficult lifestyles that often involved drug addiction and prostitution.

The pictures were not, Matthews thought, a true reflection of the women's inner spirits: they didn't reveal that these women were mothers, sisters and aunts, with families, friends and unfulfilled dreams.

The mug shots sent a message that the women were photographed by police for doing something wrong, and Matthews believed it was important for them to be viewed in a more positive light.

"I think people were seeing a criminal rather than a victim," he said in an interview from his home near Nashville. "I think they were discounted. If they had been 20-something soccer moms, what [public reaction] do you think would have happened?"

Matthews is the founder of Project EDAN (Everybody Deserves A Name), a U.S. group of certified forensic sketch artists who donate their time to make facial reconstructions of unidentified victims for small- and medium-sized police agencies without budgets to hire artists.

Matthews, who has a passion for unsolved crimes and was instrumental in helping police solve the 30-year-old Kentucky "tent girl" murder case, is also media director for the Doe Network, which has volunteers worldwide and profiles hundreds of missing people and unidentified bodies on its Internet site.

On an online cold cases chat group, Matthews met former Vancouver resident Wayne Leng, who was a friend of Sarah de Vries, one of the city's missing women. Leng, who now lives in California, has established a website dedicated to the more than 60 women who have disappeared from Vancouver's gritty Downtown Eastside since the late 1970s, including Pickton's alleged victims.

Matthews saw the pictures displayed on Leng's website, and put out a request to the members of Project EDAN to volunteer their time to create drawings of the women.

He wanted their hair styled nicely and a "Mona Lisa" smile on their lips -- to reflect a happier time.

"I wanted them to have a little touch of pleasantry, because the images -- the mug shots -- it was obviously a very bad point in their lives," Matthews said.

"I just thought it was so sad to leave it like that."

To his surprise, six artists, in addition to himself, were quick to volunteer their time.

The vast majority of the Project EDAN members do not work in law enforcement -- the sketches they do for the police are done on a volunteer basis in their space time.

But Wesley Neville, a lieutenant with the Florence County sheriff's office in South Carolina, is a unique member of the group.

He works full-time for a police agency, doing composite drawings, facial reconstruction with clay, and age-progression sketches of missing children.

He said his volunteer work for Project EDAN -- including drawing 11 of Vancouver's missing women -- allows him to use his artistic talent to give back to society.

"It feels good inside, especially on a project like this," Neville said in a telephone interview.

He based his sketches on the police mug shots, as well as other photos of the women he found posted on Web sites by media outlets, relatives or friends.

Neville's technique was to imagine how the women would have looked when they were happy, healthy and safe.

"I saw through the damage that had been done physically to them. It's obvious their diets were bad, and drugs had taken their toll on some of them. I pretty much take that out -- it's like an age-regression," he said.

"I wanted to try to make them look as lifelike as possible, in a more innocent time."

The sketches by the Project EDAN volunteers are being unveiled for the first time in today's Vancouver Sun. They include drawings of 25 of the 27 alleged Pickton victims. (One victim is unidentified, so she could not be sketched, and the other is not included because her mother requested the picture not be published.)

The drawings in today's newspaper also include sketches of two women, Dawn Crey and Yvonne Boen, whose DNA was found on the Pickton farm, but police say there was not enough evidence to lay murder charges in those cases.

The men championing this project, Matthews and Leng, spoke to a couple of the victims' families about the sketches, but they didn't seek permission to do them -- arguing they were created for the women themselves.

"When Todd first came to me with the idea, I thought, 'Wow, this is fantastic,'" Leng said in a telephone interview.

"[The sketches] takes them away from that mug shot . . . . A lot of people do only see them as an addict and a prostitute. They don't see that this is a real human being. They just look at the ruggedness of what's happened to them on the Downtown Eastside."

Leng said he is sorry one mother didn't like her daughter's sketch, but said he hopes others will be moved by the artists' efforts.

"These sketches are for these women," Leng said. "I think they present [the women] in a beautiful light, as to the way they really were."

The drawings will be posted on his website (www.missingpeople.net), and he hopes they'll eventually be used at a permanent memorial in Vancouver as the city prepares for Pickton's lengthy murder trial, expected to start next year.

Leng searched doggedly for his friend, de Vries, before police announced her DNA had been found on Pickton's farm. He speaks frequently to her mother, Pat de Vries, but hadn't mentioned the sketches to her.

However, in a phone interview from her home in Guelph, Ont., Pat de Vries said the drawings could only be an improvement over the mug shots often published in newspapers.

"I think it's a really nice idea. Those photos were really ugly of some of those women -- unnecessarily so," de Vries said.

Leng had mentioned the sketches to Jack Cummer, the grandfather of Andrea Joesbury. He hasn't seen his granddaughter's sketch when contacted last week by the Sun, but believes the intention behind them is good.

"I thought it was fantastic, if they were painting the inner-picture rather than the picture of the one that was on the [police missing person] poster," Cummer said from his home in Nanaimo.

"They weren't drug-addicted hookers. They were warm individuals and they were somebody's darling."

Cummer said Joesbury, one of the first women Pickton was charged with murdering after his arrest in February 2002, often had a Mona Lisa smile on her face.

Of the seven Project EDAN volunteers who drew the sketches, only one is Canadian: Charlaine Michaelis from Sudbury, Ont.

"This particular group of women were so underexposed in the media, in my opinion. It was just such a joy for me to do it," said Michaelis, who has been a graphic artist for 25 years and recently did artwork for the new Disney movie The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe.

She scanned the pictures of the women sent to her by Matthews, and chose to sketch Georgina Papin -- "her face jumped out at me" -- but had only the police mug shot to work from.

Her technique, Michaelis said, was based partly on science and partly on intuition.

"I spent a lot of time examining the photo, looking at the underlying muscle structure to see how the face falls, and then I try to imagine how it would look if that action were reversed -- if she were smiling," she said.

Then, Michaelis watched herself in the mirror, analyzing how her face changed from a frown to a smile.

"Once I had that idea of how the muscles were working, I translated that onto her features," she recalled.

Michaelis said she was solely motivated to provide Papin with a better picture of herself, but added she hopes the woman's family will get some peace from the sketch.

"I would hope they'll think, 'Yeah that's the girl we remember before she got into her situation.'"

Matthews agrees.

"It's sort of like a Christmas gift for the families," he said.

"Our intuition is not easily fooled -- essence speaks to essence without words. ..."

—Katherine Saux

"For the quantum theorists, the fact that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts underpins all reality. For everything in life, there is more to it than meets the eye. The real essence, and the real meaning, is deep within, which in effect often means both inside and outside the object we are observing."—Diarmuid O'Murchu

"Love is the vital essence that pervades and permeates, from the center to the circumference, the graduating circles of all thought and action. Love is the talisman of human weal and woe - the open sesame to every soul. "

—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815 - 1902)

"Life begins with the process of star formation. We are made of stardust - and so is all life as we know it, and therefore children of stars. All the chemical elements on earth except hydrogen - including the ones in our bodies - have been processed inside stars, scattered across the universe in great stellar explosions, and recycled to become new stars, planets, and parts of us. Elements are "cooked" by nuclear fusion inside stars. Supernovae are great stellar explosions in which the resulting ash is spread far and wide through the cosmos, forming new generation of stars, planets, and people. "—John and Mary Gribbin

"Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world. "—Harriet Tubman

"Beyond the stars there are fields of wildflowers where Gods eternal presence inspires the hungry spirit as it nourishes the soul. "—Micheal Teal

Gardeners Intuition by Thomas Hawk

From wikipedia: The Coit Tower murals were carried out under the auspices of the Public Works of Art Project, the first of the New Deal federal employment programs for artists. Ralph Stackpole and Bernard Zakheim successfully sought the commission in 1933, and supervised the muralists, who were mainly faculty and student of the California School of Fine Arts (CSFA), including Maxine Albro, Victor Arnautoff, Ray Bertrand, Rinaldo Cuneo, Mallette Harold Dean, Clifford Wight, Edith Hamlin, George Harris, Robert B. Howard, Otis Oldfield, Suzanne Scheuer, Hebe Daum and Frede Vidar.

After Diego Rivera's Man at the Crossroads mural was destroyed by its Rockefeller Center patrons for the inclusion of an image of Lenin, the Coit Tower muralists protested, picketing the tower. Sympathy for Rivera led some artists to incorporate leftist ideas and composition elements in their works. Bernard Zakheim's "Library" depicts fellow artist John Langley Howard crumpling a newspaper in his left hand as he reaches for a shelved copy of Karl Marx's Das Kapital with his right, and Stackpole is painted reading a newspaper headline announcing the destruction of Rivera's mural; Victor Arnautoff's "City Life" includes the The New Masses and The Daily Worker periodicals in the scene's news stand rack; John Langley Howard's mural depicts an ethnically diverse Labor March as well as showing a destitute family panning for gold while a rich family observes; and Stackpole's Industries of California was composed along the same lines as an early study of the destroyed Man at the Crossroads.[4]

Two of the murals are of San Francisco Bay scenes. Most murals are done in fresco; the exceptions are one mural done in egg tempera (upstairs, in the last decorated room) and the works done in the elevator foyer, which are oil on canvas. While most of the murals have been restored, a small segment (the spiral stairway exit to the observation platform) was not restored but durably painted over with epoxy surfacing.

I just came across of a picture of myself in this dress ... it is called "Intuition" and is a little revealing :)

The Gift of Fear by Earthworm

An expert in the prediction and management of violence offers some intriguing advice on clues that inform our intuition plus a pant load of insights into human psychology. I've read quite a bit on developing intuition lately, but this is the first book that demystifies that gut feeling and then proceeds to highlight actual real world indicators that likely informed that bit of intuition including persistent thoughts, nagging feelings, anxiety, curiosity and humor i.e. "I'm going back to my office before the bomb goes off". (This in response to a suspicious package delivered to a workplace.)

The details of case study after case study makes the reading a bit sinister, but the insight gleaned from these real world cases is extremely informative and provides a mental toolkit for analyzing dicey situations. The author's message is that we spend too much time with wasteful worrying that ends up obscuring actual useful information in real time. He shows us how to use real fear, that pit of the stomach dread, to investigate and take precautions. Details are provided from debriefings with victims of violent crimes.

He deconstructs how criminals use human psychology to disarm their victims by taking liberties from the first hello that might appear friendly, but are actually meant to solicit a human response by being inappropriately familiar. The use of forced teaming to put you in same boat with him, loan sharking—offering help that puts you in his debt, giving too many details to make a story sound true, making unsolicited promises meant to put you at ease, typecasting to force you to prove otherwise and refusing to take no for an answer.

There is also good evidence of how violence is unintentionally escalated by victims who take the wrong precautions for their particular perpetrator. Getting a restraining order, for instance. This does nothing to actually protect the victim; it's just a piece of paper that makes it easier for police to categorize a case once they are called on the scene, but it will likely insult the aggressor and provoke him to escalate. Likewise the carelessness and avoidance with which difficult employees are handled.

There is also quite a bit of insight into the criminal mind; how the misplaced emotions of unresolved injuries done to them as children plays into their interpretations of events as adults. All this says volumes about how the treatment of children (or mistreatment) is a crucial component of a civil society. He also adds his own experience from his childhood pertaining to domestic abuse. He covers all the scenarios of public violence from the work place, to teens at school, to date rape and stalking, to assassinations, (but not terrorism). He points out that criminals have much the same emotions of human need as everyone else and are not particularly unusual so should not be treated as wackos because that will just turn the interaction into a war.

He also has quite a bit to say about how media perpetuates violence, both the news type and the entertainment variety. The first gives perpetrators a chance to be a star at critical events and appearances of celebrities. While the entertainment industry perpetuates the roles that men should be persistent and women should play hard to get and not know how to say no and mean it. Then there is the violent imagery in the music industry. Chilling case study of a couple of teens emulating certain heavy metal band. As for video games, he does not take the usual stand that they promote violence, but emphasizes that they take the place of time spent with other people learning relationship skills.

This book was recommended to me following my telling of being betrayed by grifters who rented from us. It helped me analyze why I chose to use certain tactics in order not to escalate the situation rather than demanding justice. It also showed tactics I used to get them to team up with me in restoring those houses as if I was offering a partnership. Because I know they had hopes too, that I would provide work for them. And by being overly familiar with them and treating them like family, I perpetuated that teaming. But I was not aiming to commit violence. I just wanted them to act responsibly and they weren't up to that.

The book also gave me more material to ponder regarding the developing of intuition as a real world skill rather than a relationship with spirit helpers. This is a secular view, but it does not discount developing a relationship with spirits as a way to highlight knowledge gained through intuition. One of my shaman workshop mates also mentioned the book and said it helped her to see her intuition at work.
