				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://ufology24.ru/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/steklyannaya-rakovina-01.jpg"><img class="alignleft wp-image-742 size-medium" src="http://ufology24.ru/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/steklyannaya-rakovina-01-300x214.jpg" alt="steklyannaya-rakovina-01" width="300" height="214" /></a>При существующем сегодня ассортименте раковин сложно сделать выбор. Большинство современных моделей  раковин и умывальников производится из белого санфаянса или санфарфора, что объясняется определенными причинами. В первую очередь, это нейтральный белый цвет с приятным блеском, он подходит к любому интерьеру ванной комнаты. Во вторых, это то, что обычно ванные также имеют белый цвет. Также, фарфор и фаянс почти не царапаются, поэтому имеют длительный срок службы. Но есть в этих материалов и недостатки, основной из которых – хрупкость &#8212; раковина для ванной их этих материалов, при падении в нее чего-то тяжелого может легко разбиться на мелкие кусочки.<span id="more-741"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Следует отметить, что более качественными, прочными и с интересной фактурой являются раковины, сделанные из камня. Зачастую под «каменный умывальник» или «умывальник из камня» подразумевает под собой умывальник, изготовленный из каменной массы &#8212; каменной крошки, песка, мрамора и связующего средства, данная масса при застывании создает шероховатую фактуру натурального камня. Раньше аналогичные модели встречались достаточно и стоили дорого, однако теперь они доступны практически каждому и их ассортимент достаточно большой.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Также интересным вариантом являются стеклянные умывальники. Эта модель умывальников считается одной из самых дорогостоящих, поскольку для прочности применяется специальное прочное стекло толщиной 12-15 мм. Обычно такие модели делаются накладными по конструкции, для их монтажа нужна столешница.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Важно заметить, что выбрать цвет можно не только в стеклянных моделях умывальников, но и у любых других.  Это может быть традиционный белый цвет, контрастный черный, яркий красные и коричневые и т.д. Большой выбор раковин разнообразных моделей представлен на сайте almatherm.kz.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">При этом важно обратить внимание на наличие в умывальнике отверстия для смесителя, поскольку существуют раковины с отверстием и без него. Если в ванной комнате стоит один поворотный смеситель, обслуживающий и ванную, и раковину, то отверстие не потребуется. Однако в большинстве случаев для раковины предусматривается отдельный смеситель. Но все же если вам понравился умывальник с отверстие для смесителя, а оно вам не нужное, его можно закрыть декоративной хромированной крышкой иди малозаметной крышкой под цвет умывальника.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://ufology24.ru/?attachment_id=511" rel="attachment wp-att-511"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-511" style="margin: 10px;" alt="cuc" src="http://ufology24.ru/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/cuc-300x135.jpg" width="300" height="135" /></a>In Ufology we have people talking and/or writing for other people about what they say they believe, or about what other individuals say about UFOs as Extraterrestrial crafts.<br />
UFO fantasists talk, but also remain silent when any idea, or theory, or logical explanation contradicts their ideology.<span id="more-510"></span><br />
For example, ufologists talk about sightings but never, never mention that 95 to 98 percent of these sightings are positively identified as astronomical phenomena (meteors, planets or bright stars low in the sky), atmospheric phenomena like clouds, lightning in all its forms, mirages, and Man made artifacts as aircraft, balloons, blimps, kites and a variety of psychological phenomena. Also, illusions and hoaxes constitute a small fraction of UFO reports.<br />
In other words, for the fantasists there are UFOs but no IFOs. The unidentified is never identified.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">However, this absolute lack of reliable evidences about extraterrestrial civilizations in our planet is justified by another myth: the cover up; a big conspiracy which includes not only the government(s) but the whole scientific establishment.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Since in Ufology nothing is new, fantasists keep pseudo-events like the presumed UFO crash in Roswell as dogmas that cannot be put in doubt. (The UFO crashed was just &#171;weather balloon&#187; belonging to the classified Project Mogul run by the US Air Force.)</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In addition, for the exo-fantasists, there are no individuals with different ideas concerning UFOs. These skeptics are infidels, heretics, and all of them work for the giant cover up, of course. EXOS imagine a monumental black budget that pays for this imaginary army of psy-ops, disinformers, and provocateurs.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">But you would be wrong if you think that the UFO-ET mythologists are unified by similar convictions. This is not so, because each one of the experts in alien (invisible) interstellar civilizations, accuse their own colleagues as provocateurs, psy-ops and disinformers.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This is so, because these fictions given as facts are totally contradictory. Each mythologist protects and proclaims his/her own creations as the universal truth. This is important because it shows that the exos are not talking about some objective reality but about their own imaginary worlds.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Of course, the cover up myth cannot keep the faith of the UFO-ET fans, so they need a promise. They need to believe that someday, there will be a disclosure and the Truth will be revealed, and we will see the Extraterrestrial Civilization in all its glory. This is however the beginning of a religion, because the disclosure hope is something like the hope of a second coming of Christ.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The exo-fantasists need to convince the true-believers that there will be disclosure and even that this event will happen soon.<br />
The question: is this enough to keep the ET presence mythology alive? The answer is NO and because of this, some contactees sell books with the presumed message of the extraterrestrials which is of course a blend of New Age, Religion and “spiritual” advice. These contactees are already in the religious area. They care not about cover ups, disclosures of ET plans. They make a living selling these “cosmic messages” and that is all there is.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Those who sell the image of researchers will need new inventions to keep their clients interested. The rarified alternative is to blend the ET myth with occultism, paranoia, secret societies and the whole spectrum of Conspiracy theory. I think it’s not enough to keep the ET myth alive, because the classic image of the flying saucers landing in our world belongs to the science fiction of the 50’s and perhaps the 60’s.</p>
<p>Flying Saucers, ET civilizations and universal cover ups will become video-games or class B science fiction movies while EXO-fantasists look for a new job.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" alt="" src="http://ufoweb.free.fr/Image71.jpg" width="363" height="400" />Chaos theory is the study of nonlinear dynamics, in which seemingly random events are actually predictable from simple deterministic equations.</p>
<p>In other words, the deterministic nature of these systems does not make them predictable.</p>
<p>This behavior is known as deterministic chaos, or simply chaos.<span id="more-197"></span><br />
In chaos theory, the butterfly effect is the sensitive dependence on initial conditions, where a small change at one place in a deterministic nonlinear system can result in large differences to a later state. The name of the effect, coined by Edward Lorenz, is derived from the theoretical example of a hurricane&#8217;s formation being contingent on whether or not a distant butterfly had flapped its wings several weeks before.</p>
<p>Although the butterfly effect may appear to be an esoteric and unlikely behavior, it is exhibited by very simple systems: for example, a ball placed at the crest of a hill may roll into any of several valleys depending on, among other things, slight differences in initial position.</p>
<p>A chain reaction is a sequence of reactions where a reactive product or by-product causes additional reactions to take place. In a chain reaction, positive feedback leads to a self-amplifying chain of events.</p>
<p>Chain reactions are one way in which systems which are in thermodynamic non-equilibrium can release energy or increase entropy in order to reach a state of higher entropy. For example, a system may not be able to reach a lower energy state by releasing energy into the environment, because it is hindered in some way from taking the path that will result in the energy release. If a reaction results in a small energy release making way for more energy releases in an expanding chain, then the system will typically collapse explosively until much or all of the stored energy has been released.</p>
<p>A metaphor for chain reactions is thus a snowball causing larger snowfall until finally an avalanche results (&#171;snowball effect&#187;). This is a result of stored gravitational potential energy seeking a path of release over friction.</p>
<p>UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES.</p>
<p>Can be roughly grouped into three types:</p>
<p>A positive, unexpected benefit (usually referred to as luck, serendipity or a windfall).</p>
<p>A negative, unexpected detriment occurring in addition to the desired effect of the policy (e.g., while irrigation schemes provide people with water for agriculture, they can increase waterborne diseases that have devastating health effects, such as schistosomiasis).</p>
<p>A perverse effect contrary to what was originally intended (when an intended solution makes a problem worse), such as when a policy has a perverse incentive that causes actions opposite to what was intended.</p>
<p>Possible causes of unintended consequences include the world&#8217;s inherent complexity (parts of a system responding to changes in the environment), perverse incentives, human stupidity, self-deception, failure to account for human nature or other cognitive or emotional biases.</p>
<p>As a sub-component of complexity (in the scientific sense), the chaotic nature of the universe—and especially its quality of having small, apparently insignificant changes with far-reaching effects (e.g., the butterfly effect)—applies.</p>
<p>Robert K. Merton listed five possible causes of unanticipated consequences</p>
<p>Ignorance (It is impossible to anticipate everything, thereby leading to incomplete analysis)</p>
<p>Error (Incorrect analysis of the problem or following habits that worked in the past but may not apply to the current situation)<br />
Immediate interest, which may override long-term interests</p>
<p>Basic values may require or prohibit certain actions even if the long-term result might be unfavorable (these long-term consequences may eventually cause changes in basic values)</p>
<p>Self-defeating prophecy (Fear of some consequence drives people to find solutions before the problem occurs, thus the non-occurrence of the problem is not anticipated.)</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" alt="" src="http://znaniyapolza.ru/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/gumanoid.jpg" width="300" />Gary McKinnon is accused of hacking into 97 United States military and NASA computers over a 13-month period between February 2001 and March 2002, at his girlfriend&#8217;s aunt&#8217;s house in London, using the name &#8216;Solo&#8217;.</p>
<p>In August 2008, Gary McKinnon was diagnosed by three of the world&#8217;s leading experts (Professor Simon Baron-Cohen, Professor Jeremy Turk and Professor Thomas Bernie) as suffering from an autism spectrum disorder compounded with clinical depression.<br />
McKinnon&#8217;s mother, Janis Sharp, claimed that he was suicidal and that he would not survive a U.S. prison incarceration. She has received support from psychiatrist Professor Jeremy Turk of St George&#8217;s Hospital, London, who said that suicide was now an “almost certain inevitability”<span id="more-196"></span><br />
The Scottish hacker will not be extradited to the United States, but we can ask ourselves what did he discovered about UFO.<br />
Here is what we have about this:</p>
<p>In his interview with the BBC, he also claimed of &#171;The Disclosure Project&#187; that &#171;they are some very credible, relied-upon people, all saying yes, there is UFO technology, there&#8217;s anti-gravity, there&#8217;s free energy, and it&#8217;s extraterrestrial in origin and captured spacecraft and reverse engineered it.&#187;</p>
<p>He said he investigated a NASA photographic expert&#8217;s claim that at the Johnson Space Center&#8217;s Building 8, images were regularly cleaned of evidence of UFO craft, and confirmed this, comparing the raw originals with the &#171;processed&#187; images. He claimed to have viewed a detailed image of &#171;something not man-made&#187; and &#171;cigar shaped&#187; floating above the northern hemisphere, and assuming his viewing would be undisrupted owing to the hour, he did not think of capturing the image because he was &#171;bedazzled&#187;, and therefore did not think of securing it with the screen capture function in the software at the point when his connection was interrupted.<br />
Not much after hacking into 97 United States military and NASA computers, am I wrong?</p>
<p>Perhaps some true-believer was waiting for the smoking gun, the evidences. There are none.<br />
Probably there will never be.</p>

First, let us consider the different kinds of possible Cover-ups.</p>
<p>1) The first model of cover-up is just the denial that those UFOs that resist any conventional explanation, are the evidence of some kind of advanced, non-human technology. The gov. doesn&#8217;t want to recognize that the UFO Phenomenon cannot be stopped. The gov. would be forced to recognize his own VULNERABILITY. <span id="more-194"></span>2) The second model of cover-up is based on the idea that the gov, KNOWS who the Aliens are, and perhaps what they want. They will not recognize this knowledge.</p>
<p>3) The third cover-up model would be the complicity of the gov. with the Aliens, and includes some kind of hypothetic contact with the unwanted guests.</p>
<p>4) The fourth model suggests that the government is controlled by Aliens. The authorities perhaps even have knowledge of some Alien technology. We are then colonized by one or several Alien races. Where is the paradox? The Exos rhetoric always choose the last two models of Cover-up: Why? Just because the biggest cover-up will justify their paranoid rhetoric. The EXOS can tell us what they want, and any demand of Evidences will be denounced as disinformation, debunking, and provocation. The neo-cultists will protect their total lack of evidences in the shadow of an omnipotent cover-up. The paradox is that the Exos are protected by the same cover-up they denounce. Ergo, is possible to suggest that the EXOS are part of the cover-up. Their unsubstantiated claimings makes the UFO Phenomenon look ridiculous and keep the good, rational minds out of the inquiry. &#8212;</p>

Last time he turned up here at STA with his ludicrous proclamations, I asked him politely for some very basic answers and clarifications. He twisted and turned, without ever once addressing the questions. So, I kept repeating them and refused to follow his diversionary tactics. He became so frustrated that someone dared to question him that he finally went ad hominem and stormed out out of the forum. Good riddance. His behavior was hardly what one would expect from a Yale Juris Doctor in International law.<span id="more-193"></span></p>
<p>My dad always told me that no one never wins a pissing contest with a skunk.</p>
<p>Perhaps Tomas Scolarici would be best served by extricating himself from this known disinformationist&#8217;s tar baby. The Webre COINTELPRO operation is designed to bog down researchers in endless quarrelsome dialog which goes nowhere, and therefore prevents any further progress with objective goals. Just say no.</p>
<p>NWO propaganda is Alf Webre&#8217;s bread and butter. The psychopath always accuses his victim of what he himself is doing.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><img class="alignleft" alt="" src="http://www.20min.ch/diashow/19171/mexico_ocotlan.jpg" width="419" height="412" />Kitsch is a style of mass-produced art or design using cultural icons. The word is a loan word from the German word meaning &#171;worthless.&#187;</div>
<div></div>
<div>The term is generally reserved for unsubstantial or gaudy works, or works that are calculated to have popular appeal.</div>
<div>The tastelessness of the kitsch style is produced by a verbal or graphical pompous rhetoric presented as a special knowledge of unsubstantial things or events. I think that an excellent illustration of kitsch Ufology is the graphic expositions of different extraterrestrial beings. Here we see bad taste and nonsense in action.<span id="more-191"></span></div>
<div>Different kinds of pseudo-science and new age mysticism are composed by recycled clichés, which are some vivid depictions of abstractions and images that rely upon analogy or exaggeration for effect.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Classic ufological kitsch are the handsome Venusians of Adamski or the auto-proclamation of Richard Boylan as Councilor of Earth. Of course in this definition we cannot forget the Flying Saucers hanging from a string tied in the branches of a tree.</div>
<div>Of course, there are kitsch definitions and one of these is the so called Exopolitics defined asthe study of the key individuals, political institutions and processes associated with extraterrestrial life. Since we have no evidence about any extraterrestrial life, Exopolitics is a kitsch pseudo-science belonging to the pompous rhetoric of the ET=UFO fantasists.</div>
<div></div>
<div>By the way, in this short article we cannot forget a champion of modern kitsch talk: Andy Basiago and his jumps back in time and his adventures in Mars.</div>

Existence in common usage, it is the world one is aware or conscious of through one&#8217;s senses, and that persists independently in one&#8217;s absence. Other definitions describe it as everything that &#8216;is&#8217;.<span id="more-192"></span><br />
That’s why cats, the Sun, the sea and the mountains exist. We can see these entities and tomorrow, we will see them again, since their existence is persistent independently of our senses.<br />
However, when we talk about UFO, angels, ghosts or gods’ existence, we have some problems to solve.</p>
<p>Do these invisible, untouchable, unreliable things exist? No, not as things, but as ideas</p>
<p>The existence of some of these entities doesn’t seem to be independent of our mind. There are no evidences of their existence in the objective world, but this can be solved.</p>
<p>Extraterrestrial crafts, aliens, gods, angels, ghosts and demons exist as cultural elements, and if this is so, the polemics about existence or inexistence are meaningless.</p>
<p>For example, Dr. Carl Jung wrote in the 50’s a book about “Things that are seen in the sky”. For him, objective existence or inexistence of UFO has no importance, because he sees ancient and modern unidentified flying objects as Archetypes of the Collective Human Subconscious.</p>
<p>If we are honest with ourselves and have a rational mind, we investigate the impact of those cultural elements in individuals and societies.</p>
<p>On the contrary, if we are dishonest or have an irrational mind, we will insist on the objective existence of aliens, ghosts, gods or angels.</p>
<p>This hypothesis however, requires obvious, solid, believable, experimental evidence. Mythologists don’t have such evidence at all.<br />
They are fantasists trying to make you believe in their rhetorical tricks.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" alt="" src="http://www.boudillion.com/lam/greyalien.jpg" width="368" height="468" />What about UFOs?<br />
First of all, 95 % of UFO sightings are recognized as natural or manmade phenomena.<br />
The 5 % are important only because of the UFO industry, ego-trips and fantasists.<br />
To speak about flying objects is conjectural. In my view, UFOs are not flying and are not objects.<br />
The UFO meme is strong enough for some people.<span id="more-189"></span><br />
A meme is &#171;an idea, behavior or style that spreads from person to person within a culture.&#187; A meme acts as a unit for carrying cultural ideas, symbols or practices, which can be transmitted from one mind to another through writing, videos, sounds, speech, gestures, rituals or other imitable phenomena. Supporters of the concept regard memes as cultural analogues to genes in that they self-replicate, mutate and respond to selective pressures.</p>
<p>The answer can be holographic: Holography is a technique which enables three-dimensional images to be made. It involves the use of a laser, interference, and diffraction, light intensity recording and suitable illumination of the recording. The image changes as the position and orientation of the viewing system changes in exactly the same way as if the object were still present, thus making the image appear three-dimensional.</p>
<p>The holographic recording itself is not an image; it consists of an apparently random structure of varying intensity, density or profile.<br />
I have no idea about whom or what is behind the phenomenon, but I am totally and absolutely convinced that the Extraterrestrial hypothesis is forged.<br />
Until this very moment, there is no evidence of extraterrestrial intelligent life here or in any other place of the Universe.<br />
There is a relatively big but totally contradictory mythology concerning Extraterrestrials, without any kind of evidential or rational value.<br />
The presumed “extraterrestrial” messages are a sad mix of New Age, Pseudo-religion, self-help and very human ideas and prejudices.<br />
Abductions are mostly planted pseudo-memories and fantasies or self delusions.<br />
Same thing was with the “men in black”.<br />
After more than forty years of research in the field, writing and talking with many people of different ages, social positions and professions, this is a short synthesis of what I think about the UFO phenomenon.</p>
