Shared Adventures 24th Annual

“Day on The Beach”

Saturday July 16, 2016- Cowell Beach, Santa Cruz, CA. Over 300 Participants with Disabilities “Get Stoked” at Nonprofit Ocean Sports Event Shared Adventures of Santa Cruz, California announces the 24th Annual “Day On The Beach” event on Cowell Beach in Santa Cruz, California, Saturday, July 16 from 10:00-4:00. Shared AdvenSienne Hayes tures is a non-profit organization that is dedicated to improving the

quality of life of people living with disabilities through inclusive recreation. This event creates an opportunity for those who, due to their disabilities, might never have the opportunity to participate in ocean sports such as kayaking, outrigger canoeing, scuba diving, water floatation, and beach wheelchair rides. In order to enable those with mobility issues to travel over the sand to enjoy the beach, generous volunteers lay down over 200 pieces of plywood frames and create a unique 7,600+ square foot event. Live entertainment will perform at the beach throughout the day. This year Day on the Beach will feature the group “Magic Makers”, a Santa Clara band comprised

of members with developmental challenges. Also performing will be dance troupe “Aerial Arts Santa Cruz” and blues band “10 O’Clock Lunch”. Foster Andersen, Founder and Executive Director of Shared Adventures said, “It amazes me to see so many people come together from all over the state to come to this event and share the beautiful ocean we here! And when experts in ocean sports can bring people with special needs out Kayaking, Outrigger Canoeing and SCUBA it really is heartwarming and lots of life changing experiences go along with it.”

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

Community involvement is the key to this event’s success; hundreds of volunteers are needed and are requested to pre-register online at www.SharedAdventures. org/dayonthebeach. Volunteers are needed for all tasks in various time slots between 7am – 6pm, including setup, meeting and greeting participants, lunch service, assisting with ocean activities, registration, and breakdown.

A volunteer from a previous year commented:

“I had an awesome time. It was so fulfilling to be able to help others and share an activity that I am passionate about. Everyone involved were so helpful and friendly. The participants were great and very patient with the volunteers.” This event serves 300+ persons with disabilities, plus their caregivers, friends, and families to bringing together over 1,000 people for this spectacular beach party. Shared Adventures expects to provide over 60 kayak trips, 50

outrigger canoe trips, 30 scuba diving dips, 20 floatation excursions and 20 beach wheelchair rides. All activities are free; Day on the Beach is fully funded by grants and generous donors.

Lasting Impact:

The effects of this event are immense and its reputation and popularity have grown to enormous proportions throughout Northern California. When sitting in the front seat of a tandem kayak or floating in SCUBA equipment, what many able-bodied persons would consider a routine day on the water enables challenged participants to experience unique sight and sound sensations that they would otherwise never know. The following quote is an excerpt from a letter written by a participant: “I just want to say thank you for the wonderful time I had at the “Day on the Beach” in July. It was a very important day for me because of so many “firsts” occurring. It was the first time I had ever been in the ocean, the first time scuba diving and the first time surfing. From the faces around me, I guessed many others were having as remarkable a day. Thank you again, to you and to the outstanding volunteers for such an instructive, self-assuring and most importantly, joyful event.”

Help Stop 5G Wireless a Dangerous Radiation Intensive Technology! We defeated the proposal to further erode local zoning in California. The stakes are even higher now! Spread the word! The FCC is voting on whether to move forward with 5G, an extremely dangerous technology. Read Chairman Wheelers comments about the Spectrum Frontiers Proceeding (https://www.fcc. gov/document/remarks-chairman-wheelerfuture-wireless). This would put 5G transmitters on power and light poles throughout communities across the United States with the aim of creating enough saturation of very high frequency microwave radiation that fiber optic level connectivity is available wirelessly everywhere. We will need as many people as possible from the U.S. and around the world, including experts, to contact the FCC by July 13, 2016. They vote on the proposal on July 14, 2016. Please take a moment to contact the FCC Commissioners BEFORE their vote on July 14 in opposition to the rollout of 5G. A template letter is below, please take a moment personalize it briefly with your experience to give it greater impact. Tom Wheeler, Chairman Tom.Wheeler@ fcc.gov Mignon Clyburn, Commissioner Mignon. Clyburn@fcc.gov Jessica Rosenworcel, Commissioner Jessica.Rosenworcel@fcc.gov Ajit Pai, Commissioner Ajit.Pai@fcc.gov Michael O’Rielly, Commissioner Mike.O’Rielly@fcc.gov Please send a copy of your letter to your U.S. Representative and Senators and the relevant committees (listed below). Ultimately, it is Congress that decided to give sole responsibility for wireless promotion and safety to an industry dominated agency. It is essential that they hear from you. Only they can give authority for health back to the EPA, which has tried in the past to protect the public. Congress defunded EPA and removed its authority to protect the public from wireless radiation to stop it (http://www.stopglobalwifi.org/ documents/PressReleaseDec2015.pdf). Contact your Congressional Delegation (2 Senators and 1 Representative) Look them up and find their phone and FAX numbers at: http://www.senate.gov/ general/contact_information/senators_cfm.

cfm andhttp://www.house.gov/representatives/ Call the White House - 202-4561111. Ask President Obama to halt the rollout of 5G in light of the safety hazards. President Obama can also be emailed using the form at http://www. whitehouse.gov/contact/submit-questionsand-comments Congressional Committees - ask for oversight hearings on dangers of societal saturation with radiation from wireless technology:

Dear FCC Commissioners,

Spectrum Frontiers Proceeding is being represented as an unqualified good, but it is not. It will do great harm to human health and the environment. Please vote “noâ€? to the Spectrum Frontiers Proceeding. There has been no NEPA review of the environmental and human health impacts of moving forward with 5G. The FCC has put the cart before the horse in promulgating rules for 5G without first studying the safety of 5G for humans and the environment. There is consensus within the scientific community that the existing FCC limits for wireless radiation do not protect the population from biological effects (www.EMFscientist.org) The National Toxicology Program recently release results showing that radiofrequency radiation (RFR) can indeed both break DNA and cause cancer (http://www. saferemr.com/2016/05/national-toxicology-progam-finds-cell.html and http://microwavenews.com/news-center/ntp-nyt). Furthermore, the literature on RFR in the very high frequency bands required for 5G document DNA breakages, serious cellular resonance effects, and other detrimental

Two-Month Old Infant Suffered Apnea and Died Following 8 Vaccines

Cash’s parents were separated and escorted to the hospital in separate cars and were not allowed to leave that hospital room until the results came back from a skeletal survey, proving their innocence that Cash didn’t die because of foul play. Then Cash’s mother was asked to donate his useable organs and tissue. His immediate cause of death on his autopsy report was labeled “probable asphyxiation,� due to co-sleeping with an adult, leaving his mother feeling guilty she was responsible. The vaccines were not mentioned on the autopsy report. Cash died 16 days after his wellbaby checkup, which is one of the critical days infants pass away or suffer breathing issues after vaccination. When Cash died, he had a significant amount of blood in the back of his throat and many of his organs were congested. His body was starved of oxygen. There were no signs of suffocation when Cash died, he was on his back and no object was obstructing his airways. After watching their son get buried, Cash’s parents, Whitney Hill and tors, they ignored her concerns and would Jesse Dewayne Thomas, regretted that not put Cash on a breathing monitor. they listened to the doctor over their own At his two-month well-baby instincts.

It might even be considered a denial of our very humanity, given our natural reaction to radiation and the body’s inevitable tipping point of intolerance for the ever-escalating levels.

Yoga: More Than Exercise - Part 4 by Christopher Love hhh warmth! Summer is in full swing and I am grateful for the opportunity to dry out and warm up. I have a tremendous amount of gratitude for the climate that allows me to play in our natural environment without so many layers of clothing. Hikes, beach excursions and the like take on a new dimension with out cumbersome jackets and such. Get out and enjoy it whilst it is here. In this article series we have determined there are four distinct paths (margas), which make up the yogic system. Integral to the four margas are eight disciplines (digvalaya). I have concluded that the system of Yoga is a vast offering of practices and guidelines that create a holistic approach to living. In part three of this series I stated that it is important to choose a path in life that works for you. You must understand, to some degree, the personal practices (be it system, tradition or religion) that your are engaged in (meaning there is a personal sense of feeling connected that elicits trust that the path is good). The practice must assist you to progress in life (you must receive desirable benefits). The practice one chooses should also support the you to be successful (meaning it can be configured to fit your life’s circumstances, can be practiced for a lifetime and be of continual support in daily life until all your personal goals are reached). Furthermore, as I believe there is no such thing as arriving to some place that will not change (as we are a continual work in progress), the practice must also support the maintenance of your standards for living as you increase in awareness, capacity, presence and the ability to live a happy, meaningful and compassionate life.

Licensed by the Council for Private PostSecondary and Vocational Education

In examining the margas of Yoga we must hold the view that they are an interconnected system that creates a balanced model for holistic health with the eight digvalaya being foundational to the entire model. Each of the eight can be studied independently and volumes can be said and written (and have been) on how to approach, integrate and maintain such disciplines and standards in ones life. At the end of last months article I said, “In the pursuit of happiness we must take a deep look at who we are, where we are coming from and how we behave on the world stage. What we experience in life is often a reflection of our inner lands c a p e .� Yoga is designed to directly work with the inner regions of our being with the belief that the outer is actually a reflection of what we have going on inside. In my understanding Bhakti Yoga is placed as the starting point because it assists the practitioner in shifting from mind-based reality to heartbased reality. When we view the world through the lens of the heart, when we act from the heart first, the world changes and responds differently to us. Living this way our lives can become gentler and we can experience a sense of ease in our daily activities. The world can become a benevolent place offering support through opportunities to grow and strengthen, rather than an enemy we that makes us have to plan and plot how to survive through endless setbacks, obstacles and enemies. There is an invitation for you to utilize the full power of Yoga for what it can do for your entire life and not just your physical health. Let’s explore more on this next month.

Quakers in Pennsylvania and drew the negative attention of William Penn in written correspondence, regarding absentee governing. How come why? I don’t know. Most recently I have decided to align myself with Dr. Joel Wallach and his scientific community. Dr. Wallach, a man I could not begin to describe in the few sentences left and available here other than to tell you to go to www.kscohealth.com and listen to Dr. Wallach‌ especially his video entitled “Somebody ought to go to jailâ€?. You will begin to piece together another part of your awareness to health. I can quickly tell you that Joel Wallach, a 1991 Nobel Prize nominee, has fearlessly stood up to the corrupt medical pharmaceutical establishment and proposed alternative means of correcting many common health problems faced by everyone. Farmers have learned to nutritionally prevent many diseases by listening to veterinarians and feeding livestock with supplements that enhanced health. For humans Wallach calls it the Mighty 90‌60 minerals, 16 vitamins, 12 amino acids, and 2-3 essential fatty acids. Take those 90 supplements in the appropriate quantity, and you will be healthy and have healthier babies, without some of the now known nutrient deficient illnesses related to pregnancy in a woman who is lacking certain minerals, chiefly se-

lenium. Sickle cell anemia and down syndrome, according to Doc Wallach, are the result of conception preceding non-awareness of the need to take additional nutrients for healthy baby development. His theory that all health issues come about as the result of nutritional deficiencies rings true. However, there is one area Dr. Wallach either misses or ignores: dentistry as a toxic source. I now understand why. It took a few years to figure it out, though. All I had to do was ask‌ and the answer came. My father in law, a veterinarian in Hollywood for 40 plus years, may have cleaned or removed teeth from animals‌ but he never did a filling, a root canal, crown, or veneer, leaving him with no opportunity to observe the health effects of toxic, benign, or reactive dental materials on the health of his patients. I have. And‌ I will tell you more in future columns. Howdy! Dr. David Biles is accepting new patients interested in a comprehensive dental approach that detoxifies mouths and restores health. Dr. Biles brings a unique awareness to healing from a lifetime of personal experience, study, and work in many disciplines, including dentistry, medicine, physical education, human research in exercise physiology, and nutrition. Schedule a visit to see if an ideal approach to dentistry is what your body requires to heal. 831-4230121. www.DrBiles.com

Martial Arts

Walk Among Giants by Prof. Chris Smith

It has been said that you can only lead others along a path that you have already traveled. For it is in the initial journey, that the master learns the twists and turns in the road. The inevitable steep inclines that lead to dramatic vistas. The harrowing precipices that drop off unexpectedly, only to flush us out into languid pools of calm. In the world of martial arts, there have been many to go before us. Great warriors from far and wide. Noble scholars and fierce combatants, they forged a presence that spans thousands of years. The contributions to culture and community are irrefutable. The astonishing feats of bravery and calm in battle are the stuff of legends. We as martial artists aspire to achieve just one percent of their manna. At the coral belt ceremony of my teacher, Master Charles Gracie, I was honored and fortunate to be seated in the front row. In front of me stood a who’s who of present day warriors. For there are

few among us, who would debate that the Gracie family are indeed the founding fathers of our present day warrior class. It was they who opened the eyes of the world

Chris Smith & Grand Master Robson Gracie to the reality of a truly effective self-defense system. An art that would stand up to the sometimes violent reality of today’s streets. When you choose a leader, check their credentials. Have they tread where others have feared to go? Will they be capable of elevating you

beyond your present reality, because they themselves are battle tested? A simple certificate is not the reassurance needed. A title of master is not sufficient. For a master with a certificate could have hid in the bushes during the siege. Make absolutely no mistake. The Gracie family is battle tested. Iron forged in the heat of battle. Boundaries pushed beyond what we thought to be humanly possible. Countless brothers and uncles and cousins going off to war in the name of service to family and honor. As I sat in the front row straining to hear the eloquent speech of Grand master Robson Gracie, the patriarch of the Gracie family, I was able to pick up on a few quotes through the translation. The words that ring in my ears daily. The phrase that arose from the soul of the Grandmaster was “Let it be known that I have walked among giants.� To me, a star struck pupil, he was telling us that he had the honor to be among the great warriors. That he was there firsthand to see and be in the battle. That those he referred to were the forebearers of our present day movement. Without them, our path would be unclear. For it was with their blood, sweat and tears that we are all gathered in their name. We now can go forward with the conviction needed to conquer an adversary.

Rest Days: Make the Most of Them

by Beau Jansen, CORE ProElite Trainer, Santa Cruz CORE Fitness + Rehab hether you have been working out for many years or you are just getting started putting some work in the gym or with a trainer, chances are you are counting down to the next rest day or day off from cardio and weight training. If you aren’t keeping an eye on your planned rest day or care to even have one then you are potentially overtraining. We want to let you know that a rest day or two isn’t so bad, in fact, it may even be the best thing you do for your body. Overtraining can actually cause us to gain fat, lose muscle and be in worse shape if we don’t stop and rest. One of the most obvious and important reason

W

to have a rest a day is to prevent any injury to your body. We only get one body in this lifetime and exercise does the body good. However, too much of a good thing could be bad as the old saying goes. If we are constantly pushing ourselves and not allowing our muscles to heal and strengthen then we could be putting ourselves on a fast track to burning out and

causing some serious damage to our bodies. Rest days are important to implement and schedule out in balance with our workouts. A good trainer will help you better understand

the appropriate rest day schedule you should follow. For people just starting out and getting fit they may feel incredibly sore all over and may need a couple days before they feel like exercising again. A rest day may be in order, but it doesn’t mean they should just lay in bed or sit on the couch all day barely lifting a finger. Quality time with your foam roller and light or moderate walks are a good way to start easing out the tension and soreness in your body . As an avid athlete you may need less recovery time, but taking days off from heavy lifting or high intensity workouts are still essential to ensure that you allow your muscles to fully recover and grow as well as to prevent symptoms of overexertion or overtraining. By taking time to schedule your training sessions by targeting specific areas of the body on certain days, it allows those parts to get a rest or not be as exerted

when you focus on another part of the body on a different day. This is why you will hear weightlifters at the gym talk about “Leg Day�, “Chest Day� or “Back and Shoulders� because when they are training one or two bodyparts it is allowing the other parts of their body to recover. The important thing is to remember that it is always ok to take a break and rest up between workouts. Also, acknowledging the difference between pain and soreness is crucial in knowing just how much rest you need and where you can push yourself or ease up. Rest days, again, are encouraged as they help your body grow and improve. With that in mind, incorporating foam rolling, stretching and steady state cardio is a great way to reduce soreness and keep your body accustomed to working out; so you can keep your body in tip top shape.

Moms! Dads! GMO Foods Threaten Your Children Children Are More Susceptible to

I

f you go out to a restaurant or even if you eat dinner at home, unless you are fully conscious of what you’re eating, chances are you’re poisoning yourself with GMO “foods.” Big corporations like Monsanto grow genetically modified plants. It’s good for their profit margin, but what is it doing to your health? If you care about the health of your family, take a look at this article on how children are affected by GMO foods:

Genetically Engineered Foods Pose Higher Risk for Children

Children face the greatest risk from the potential dangers of GM foods: Young, fast-developing bodies are influenced most
 C hildren are more susceptible to allergies
Children are more susceptible to problems with milk
Children are more susceptible to nutritional problems. Children are in danger from antibiotic resistant diseases
Young, fast-developing bodies are influenced most
 
 C hildren’s bodies develop at a fast pace and are more likely to be influenced and show the effects of genetically modified (GM) foods. That is why independent scientists used young adolescent rats in their GM feeding studies. The rats showed significant health damage after only 10 days, including damaged immune systems and digestive function, smaller brains, livers, and testicles, partial atrophy of the liver, and potentially pre-cancerous cell growth in the intestines.

Children are three to four times more prone to allergies than adults. Infants below two years old are at greatest risk-they have the highest incidence of reactions, especially to new allergens encountered in the diet. Even tiny amounts of allergens can sometimes cause reactions in children. Breast fed infants can be exposed via the mother’s diet, and fetuses may possibly be exposed in the womb. Michael Meacher, the former minister of the environment for the UK, said, “Any baby food containing GM products could lead to a dramatic rise in allergies.” GM corn is particularly problematic for children, as they generally eat a higher percentage of corn in their diet. Further, allergic children often rely on corn protein. Mothers using cornstarch as a talc substitute on their children’s skin might also inadvertently expose them via inhalation.

Problems with Milk

Milk and dairy products from cows treated with the genetically engineered bovine growth hormone (rbGH) contain an increased amount of the hormone IGF-1, which is one of the highest risk factors associated with breast and prostate cancer. The Council on Scientific Affairs of the American Medical Association called for more studies to determine if ingesting “higher than normal concentrations of [IGF-1] is safe for children, adolescents, and adults.” Sam Epstein, M.D., Chairman of the Cancer Prevention Coalition and author of eight books, wrote, “rbGH and its digested products could be absorbed from milk into blood, particularly in infants, and produce hormonal and allergic effects.” He described how “cell-stimulating growth factors . . . could induce premature growth and breast stimulation in infants, and possibly promote breast cancer in adults.” Dr. Epstein pointed out that the hormones in cows could promote the production of “steroids and adrenaline-type stressor chemicals . . . likely to contaminate milk and may be harmful, particularly to infants and young children.”

Children Are More Susceptible to Nutritional Problems A 2002 report by the UK’s Royal Society, said that genetic modification “could lead to unpredicted harmful changes in the nutritional state of foods.” They therefore recommended that potential health effects of GM foods be rigorously researched before being fed to pregnant or breast-feeding women, elderly people, those suffering from chronic disease, and babies. Likewise, according to former minister Meacher, unexpected changes in estrogen levels in GM soy used in infant formula “might affect sexual development in children,” and that “even small nutritional changes could cause bowel obstruction.”

Children Are in Danger from Antibiotic Resistant Diseases

Children prone to ear and other infections are at risk of facing antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria, due to the use of antibiotic resistant genes in GM food. The British Medical Association cited this as one reason why they called for a moratorium of GM foods.

INSTALL SAFE WIRED CONNECTIONS!!! chool children are facing a tarily exposed to wireless radiation

massive health crisis if the governments and education authorities continue to ignore the warnings on the potential health effects from long-term exposure to electromagnetic radiation from wireless devices. Many scientists and medical experts warn that longterm exposure to EMR interferes with the body’s internal bioelectrical signals which may lead to diseases such as cancer, immune dysfunction, infertility, reproductive disorders, DNA damage and other cognitive and neurological disorders. Children are also most vulnerable as they absorb more radiation due to their thinner skulls, bones and developing cells. Their lifetime exposure will also be greater than adults today. Scientific studies on the long-term health effects of WiFi on children have not been conducted, yet this technology is being vigorously rolled out in schools without parental consent or choice. Children are being involun-

for 6 hours a day, 5 days a week. This is unacceptable as there are safer wired options for schools to provide children with internet access. Let’s raise our voices calling on officials to adopt the precautionary principle, and to act now to protect our children and future generations. Stop the use of WiFi and 4G internet in schools. Favor wired internet connections, and reduce microwave electromagnetic radiation exposure from all wireless devices.

n a d L F d ar e r m c Finca Sagrada

Are You a Partner for Sacred Land Farm in Vilcabamba, Ecuador?

“Your land told me to invite people to come to the farm intending to give…and the land will gift them with just what they need.” Thus said our farm partner, Martine Sweeney from Santa Cruz, several months ago on her last visit here. We decided to take her remarkable advice, because we ourselves had come to the farm intending to give. As a result, we have found deep peace and joy here. We hereby invite you to our farm intending to give. Serendipity being what it is, Pattie and Thom, Publishers of Connection Magazine, met us on the internet, fell in love with the story of the farm and invited us to be featured in this Center Theme—just when we decided to reach out for partners. So, let us introduce ourselves. We are Walter Moora and Susan Davis Moora and we design partnerships relevant to your own ‘life’s paths’. What is Sacred Land Farm (FincaSagrada.com)? We are

in Vilcabamba, Ecuador Our inspiration is the indigenous saying of the Americas that “neither the people of the North nor the South will thrive until the Condor and the Eagle fly as one.”

manifesting an intercultural, biodynamic, self-supporting farm community over which the Condor and the Eagle fly as one.

What Do You Mean That Your Land Gave Martine A Message?

Initially, we didn’t really know why we bought the farm 6 years ago…we just felt we had to do so. By seeking oneness with the land, we gradually discovered that it was remarkable land indeed. It is 50 minutes from our home in the storied village of Vilcabamba in the southern mountains of Ecuador and it had been untended for a long time. We began creating a biodynamic farm out of the overgrown pastures and bringing cows, goats, burros, horses, bees and fish onto the farm. We raised more and more of our own food and developed trusting relationships with our Ecuadorian neighbors. A young man from the nearby village of Tumianuma, Cristian Ojeda, became our partner and family member. A Canadian woman homeopath vis-

ited for a day, fell in love with our impenetrable fique forest and told us the land told her to tend it. We invited her to move in and she created a “Magical Forest” there, with frequent visitors. Then, when Martine came to visit and first stepped on the land three years ago, she told us that mythical children from Vedic times came running to her, skipping and laughing. They told her how this land had been the home of a Vedic temple and mystery school and that these energy centers needed to be re-opened. She was able to walk the land with us and show us exactly where the sacred sites were. Since then, a psychic from Hawaii told us the same thing from there!

Honoring our Sacred Sites

The Kogi told the members of The Fountain that the sacred sites of our farm were important to reopen because the spiritual center of Earth was now moving from the Himalayas to the Andes. They asked that The Fountain members meet here—and, that is just what they did two years ago. Since then, we have located the original indigenous people of our valley, the Palta tribe, with whom we are now developing relationships.

How We Farm

We are creating a self-sustaining farm eco-system where we grow most of our own food. We farm Biodynamically and follow Permaculture Principles. Although our farm has a twelve hundred acre mountain, which we hope to reforest, we mainly use the bottom twelve acres of irrigated pastures, orchards, gardens and some forest. Walter brings to the farm his 40 years of biodynamic experience on four continents and Cristian brings the local knowledge of plants and animals and how things are done in Ecuador. As Walter and Cristian teach our interns how to steward Earth, Susan guides them on finding their destiny paths, which is her area of expertise.

This changed our understanding dramatically and since then, we have sought to honor the four sacred sites on the farm. We have also serendipitously met elders of the Four Nations of La Sierra Nevada (“the Kogi”) through a global network called The Fountain. This network, created by Jyoti Prevott (founder of the Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers), is one of 40 innovation networks in sustainThe Farm Buildings and ability which Susan Capacity has served over 40 For The Fountain meeting, years (see KINSin- we somehow managed to host alnovation.org).

and an earth-bag house, also with an outdoor kitchen and a shower. Then, to accommodate an intentional community, we built a large house and community center, with two large bedrooms and a secondfloor bunk-room. The community center’s living room can host 30 people on chairs in a circle for “KINS” meetings.

Our Invitation to Partners

We offer internships for one month and more as described at FincaSagrada.com. And, now, we have reached a mature point and are

A Home for KINS Networks

The farm is also becoming a home for these KINS network meetings, such as the meeting for The Fountain. This December, about 20 people from around the world will be joining us for a week, exploring various innovations from some half-dozen different KINS networks.

ummer is upon us, and that means warm weather and warmer pets. At Soquel Creek Animal Hospital, we are dedicated to the well-being of your animals. As temperatures rise throughout the Summer months, it’s important to take extra precaution with your pets. Two of the most common issues we see during hot weather are dehydration and heat exhaustion. Both are extremely dangerous to animals, just like they are for humans. Overheating and dehydration can lead to serious health issues, hospitalization, and even death. Symptoms of heat exhaustion can include excessive panting, loss of skin elasticity, dehydration, vomiting, rapid or irregular heartbeats, lethargy and even seizures. Animals cool off by panting and sweating small amounts through the pads in their paws. W h e n this isn’t enough to keep them cool, we can offer some relief. For pets spending their days outside, ensure they have plenty of shade and access to fresh, clean water. Ice cubes in water bowls are an easy way to cool down pets on a hot day. If your pet begins to overheat, offer them fresh water, hose them down outside or put them in the bathtub to give them a cool shower. It’s important to regulate their temperature so they don’t experience heat exhaustion. You should never leave pets in cars while running errands. Vehicles heat up to dangerous levels quickly during the sizzling Summer months. Even with the windows cracked, cars become extremely hot very fast and pets can suffer. For example, if it is 80 degrees outside, the inside of a car can heat up to 120 degrees in just a few minutes. For pets that spend a lot of time outside, sunblock is an excellent way to help protect them from

the sun’s harmful rays. For animals with white fur, pink skin, and fine hair, this is especially important. Avoid excessive exercise, long walks on the asphalt and hot sand at the beach. If the ground is uncomfortable for you to walk on barefoot, it will be just as uncomfortable for your pet. Animals paws can blister and burn on hot asphalt. Taking walks in the early morning or late evening when the ground is cooler will allow pets to get their exercise without harming their sensitive paws. Always provide supervision when pets are playing in the water and rinse them in clean water after swimming so no harmful chlorine chemicals or salt water remain on the skin. Lastly, we would like to mention the Fourth of July. While it is an exciting holiday for us, it can be frightening for pets. Loud noises DQG GDQJHURXV ÀUHZRUNV FDQ EH YHU\ scary. If possible, keep your pets indoors, and keep them away from any firecrackers you may have at home.

Call me for help with reading the bagua or your space and for Feng Shui solutions to correct missing bagua areas. A client of mine discovered that the side of her hundred-year-old house, which happened to be her Wealth corner, was rotten and growing mushrooms. As her partner was replacing the siding and laying a foundation because there was none to begin with, my clients ex-husband returned her phone call about some financial matters. After years of saying no, he agreed to pay the back payments he owed her and was willing to create a much larger retirement account for her than she requested. Her ex-husband also agreed to make a loan to her mother, thus taking financial pressure of my client. Sometimes good Feng Shui is as easy as taking good care of your house and cleaning things up!

In modern psychology there is less mention of psychic pain primarily because such concepts cannot be easily verified by evidence-based research and methods. Most recently however, a different phrase, Hidden Emotions, which was first cited in the research of David Burns, M.D, unveils a lot. Hidden emotions are clearly “hidden� from the conscious awareness, and yet they are the driving force for many behavioral, cognitive and in this case medical symptoms. Patients with history of trauma or childhood adversarial conditions, those with history of

emotions such as grief, anger, disappointment, despair, fear and sadness. At that point, the psychic pain is no longer un-addressed, therefore it will no longer be poking itself out through un-organized and vague and incurable medical symptoms.

are aware that the Sumerian Civilization predated the Bible by over 2,000 years and much of the key elements in the Bible, i.e. creation of the Universe, the World, Human Race, God, etc. are obviously taken from the ancient Sumerian history and the Gilgamesh Epic written on clay tablets from this older civilization. Very little is talked about and less taught about this , the oldest known civilization on earth. The reason for this might be that the Sumerian Clay Tablets wrote 7,000 years ago about a race of beings they called the Anunnaki, coming from the sky in vehicles, creating humans through genetic engineering with DNA from primates and themselves and establishing human civilization. This could explain why there seems to be a “missing link� in the fossil record between primates and Homo sapiens. Such revelations if allowed to propagate through

Indisputable FACTS about the GMO Labeling law: It would kill the existing Vermont labeling law (and worse) Even the Politico story was very mild in its description of what this Monsanto law actually does. Here are some irrefutable facts about the new law: • The new law would immediately kill the Vermont GMO labeling law due to kick in this Friday, denying the citizens of Vermont the right to know whether they are eating GMOs. • It would permanently outlaw state GMO labeling laws nationwide. • It allows NO LABELING for up to two years while the USDA figures out what sort of labeling to require. • It gives food manufacturers “choices” to use non-humanreadable labels that can only be read by bar code scanners. This allows food companies to hide the truth about GMOs behind digital machine code. • It does not require the GMO labeling of meats or dairy products from animals raised entirely on GMO feed. • It allows the USDA to arbitrarily decide what percentage of GMOs in a food item trigger a required GMO label (or bar code). This level could theoretically be set at 50% or even 90%. • The proposed law was masterminded by Monsanto-influenced lawmakers as a way to destroy state GMO labeling laws while falsely claiming to have a “national GMO labeling mandate” that’s pure fraud.

Exhibit (D) ALLOPATHIC MEDICINE Most people believe that the existing Allopathic Medical Model is dedicated to relieving suffering and finding cures for diseases. Nothing could be further from the truth. Evidence presented in the recent documentary films “VAXXED; From Cover up to Catastrophe” and “The Truth About Cancer” shows us that the Allopathic Medical Model is seriously corrupted by Vaccine Manufacturers and Pharmaceutical Corporations to maximize their profits at the expense of our health

and well being. Over 36 Naturopathic Doctors in the past two years have paid with their lives for curing cancer, (threatening the profits of the Medical Industrial Complex) and pointing out the many dangers of vaccines. www.vaxxedthemovie.com http:// www.thetruthaboutcancer.com/ http://www.thrivemovement.com/ murdered-holistic-doctors-update.blog These are only a few of the many anomalies appearing daily that contradict the substance and nature of what we have been led and trained to believe. There are many more. When one becomes awake and begins to truly question and investigate the world around them and think for themselves—the truth becomes evident.

Creating Space with a Geodesic Dome

it is structurally superior and portable too. The ease of construction could inspire some to go big and eventually build their very own geodesic dome home. Our larger projects include water capture systems, compostable toilets, air exchange temperature control, and solar power systems. You may want to learn more about these systems and living in a dome once you experience the feeling of going round. Some may eventually decide to get out of the box and off the grid. We plan to have our first models ready by the end of summer. We will be providing the process and plans online as an open source venture to persuade any and all into the realm of geodesic dome building. More importantly, we hope that these domes will spread and be seen as a symbol of what is to come. Experiencing a new way of building self sustainable sensible homes is the beginning of a future where we provide for all of our common needs and solve our biggest problems without the complicated crumbling system currently in place. Aaron Carvajal is the Founder of Future of the Free and Under the Dome.

by Aaron Carvajal e are planning dome builds at various sites where water, inexpensive land, and permissive building regulations all meet. However, these areas are typically outside where most people live and work. These locations are often off grid and are an average of an hour traveling distance from major metropolitan hubs. Most folks live within the grid, but would like to build a geodesic dome for an aquaponic garden, a meditation area, storage, tool shop, play house, or extra room for you name it. To fill this need we are designing a 12 foot diameter portable dome kit that is small enough to build without permits in most areas, but big enough to do a whole lot. We found many like the idea of a self sustainable dome home, but are not able or ready to make the plunge into living off grid anytime soon. So, we decided to create a small portable dome design to introduce folks to the ease, beauty, and functionality of a dome building. The process is as educational as it is useful. Putting together a smaller version of the dome home is a great way to get started on your path to self sufficiency. The frame is steel tubing which can be covered with Insulated magnet-

ontemplating the past, I experience a plethora of emotion considering the misconceptions and missed or ignored opportunities that helped write my personal soap opera, as well as the stellar moments of life well lived. Life reveals in a series of vignettes, stories that build upon each other to weave a tapestry of expression. Soap operas perpetuate through people behaving erroneously, creating drama to experience and acquire knowledge. We learn what not to do often by doing what we should not. I get tired of me getting tired of me repeating actions that do not bode my greatest good. Yet certain indulgences provide comfort like spaghetti when stressed. Through years of operations, bed rest and recovery, I met me in the mirror questioning my existence, seeking a reason for being. Looking within bears fruit,

We rate them, subjectively, on a scale from 1 (worthless) to 5 (awesome) in terms of their entertainment and message. We leave the plot details and storytelling to the filmmakers and instead attempt to characterize, highlight strengths and, hint at purpose. Reach us at movies@innerevolution. com. Enjoy!

A lice throu g h the Looking Glass

With Johnny Depp, Mia Wasikowska, Sacha Baron Cohen, Helena Bonham Carter, Anne Hathaway Entertainment: 3.5 Message: 4 The majority of critics must be mad as hatters. This amazing and completely absurd sequel to the 2010 Alice in Wonderland delivers quite an existential ride, again, for the first time. Turning over direction from Tim Burton to James Bobin (Da Ali G Show, and Muppets) was a good move, as was using the same screenwriter. Even more “phantasmagorical” than the last, it works if … you can free yourself from sensibility, at least for awhile. All the elements are there, but purists will consider the “true” story lost. But seriously, jumping through wall mirrors is no way for a young lady to escape her problems. Generously applying this new form of “madtech” to believing in yourself makes the tale quite relevant, about sticking to principles, lasting friendships and female emancipation (updating the 1865 original). The crazy genius of Johnny Depp just gets crazier. Carter’s Red Queen is delightfully weird and creepy. This visual feast and special effects orgy includes some questionable costume designs. Lots of fun, red hair! A fairly long ordeal, at least never boring, ironically centers on time itself, and almost makes it stand still for awhile. Despite the overthe-top CGI effects, there’s somehow still humor and heart (1 hr 53 min.)

star in search of her parents that has shortterm memory loss but exception vigilance Karin Leonard & Daniel Robin and drive. Utterly charming, and educational, such as we have come to expect from the Oscarwinning team that wrote and produced it. Andrew Stanton, the same writer behind Toy Story 1 and 2 and WALLE, delivers a human-centered view of fish family bonds, the epitome of teamwork, and not letting the odds get you down (1 hr 37 min.)

Independence Resurgence

Day:

With Liam Hemsworth, Jeff Goldblum, Bill Pullman, Vivica A. Fox, Judd Hirsch Entertainment: 3.5 Message: 2 Twenty years later, it is just as entertaining and trashy, with soaring special effects and production values that rival Star Wars. This fantasy scifi film poses the question “What would happen if Hollywood decided to make aliens all Gangsta and we all decided to watch?” The critics would complain and the fans would love it. If you enjoy the protracted alien retaliation smackdown, want to imagine (however briefly) the peoples of earth united in a common cause, and spectacular visuals, then you are in luck. We love the familiar characters and their quirky senses of humor, so obviously we couldn’t resist. “Fourth of July” fireworks is more about WMDs and kicking some serious alien butt. Bring your extra-solar flak jacket (2 hrs).

Money Monster

With George Clooney, Julia Roberts, Jack O’Connell, Dominic West, Caitriona Balfe Entertainment: 4 Message: 4 Gripping from start to finish, fabulous performances by Clooney and Roberts and powerfully directed by Jody Foster, this drama takes on the big game of Wall Street, corruption, and the hot contemporary topic of tension between rich, poor and

At The Redwood Mountain Faire at Roaring Camp Railroads: The Sam Chase & the Untraditional is a cool band playing originals, self-proclaimed Kick-Ass Folk. What stands out about them, besides the traditional instruments, is a stand-up bass, which I love, a cello and a trumpet player who is outrageous. Sample their sound

and learn more at: http:// www.thesamchase.com/ Also, I witnessed the amazing, internationally acclaimed, genre-breaking force, MarchForth Marching Band, who stay on stage with the exception of some performers on stilts dancing amongst the crowd. The band included four stand-up drummers, three saxophonists, two trumpeters, two trombonists, a bass guitarist and a cymbalist, and meanwhile, acrobats perform in front of them for some of the songs. There’s some singing and plenty of interaction with the crowd. Everyone gets happily riled up. You can’t help but move to these boisterous characters dressed in circus funk. And surprise, Diego’s Umbrella drummer, Jake Wood AKA Garque, was up there pounding the pagan skins and sporting his Mohawk.

Action Needed: Senators Must “Vote No on Stabenow GMO Labeling Bill” – Do This asap and Before July 5th, Please!!

O

by Food Babe, Vani Hari ur government leaders in

Washington have introduced new legislation to sell out the American consumer and deny us clear on-packaging GMO labeling. We must start contacting our Senators today and ask them to vote NO on this new bill. You can find a list of your state Senators and their contact information here: http://www.senate.gov/ senators/contact/ Since we successfully defeated the DARK Act, Vermont’s mandatory GMO labeling bill is set to take effect in a matter of days (July 1st). This would require most foods in Vermont to carry GMO labels. Even though we are down to the wire, the GMO companies are desperate and have been working feverishly to make sure that our Senators can reach an agreement to wipe Vermont’s law out so that they can continue hiding GMOs in American food. This new bill screws consumers and favors the food industry to continue to make us work for the truth. The bill still needs to pass the House and the Senate floor–but you can bet that the food and chemical company lobbyists are doing whatever it takes to push it through. It was clearly written to protect Monsanto, the agrochemical and GMO industries– who are all cheering it on and calling on their senators to support it. This is the DARK Act 2.0 and will continue to keep Americans in the dark about GMOs in our food. Why the new GMO labeling bill is a nightmare: GMO labels would require a smartphone to scan QR codes, to call a 1-800 number, or visit a website. Companies won’t be required to label GMOs for at least 2 years. Food companies that meet the definition of “very small” don’t need to label the GMOs in their food. If meat is the main ingredient in any product it won’t get a GMO label

(unless the meat itself is GMO). The definition of “bioengineering” as written in the bill may exclude most GMOs from labeling. Some foods won’t require a label if they don’t contain enough GMOs. Food in small packages may be exempt. Food manufacturers won’t be held liable. If a food company doesn’t comply with the law, their products won’t be recalled and there are no federal penalties for violations. States will be prohibited from enacting different GMO labeling laws. Food companies that began adding GMO labels to their products this year will likely change to a QR code scheme if this bill passes. This will create more work for consumers who want to know if GMOs are in their food. These food companies clearly do not want to put the words “genetically engineered” on their food and it is shameful! ACTION: CALL YOUR SENATORS HERE TODAY: http://www. senate.gov/senators/contact/ You can read their ridiculous bill here: http://tinyurl.com/zx9wjbq Read more about GMOs and why they should be labeled here: http:// tinyurl.com/jjqt57a and here: http:// tinyurl.com/9mb3xz6 Congress will be returning on July 5th and are expected to consider this bill quickly to get it pushed through and onto the Senate floor as soon as possible. The Senate will need 60 votes to pass it – so now we need to do everything in our power to make our voices heard so that they don’t get the votes they need. This is happening fast and is urgent. Call your Senators today and tell them we deserve mandatory, clear and explicit GMO labeling and to vote against any bill that proposes QR Codes as a solution. http://tinyurl.com/hx9ynr6 Printed with permission.

Positive Effects Of Marijuana

The Cannabis Crusader: Dancing With the Feds by Author Tim Blake "You often wonder what makes a man like Tim Blake tick. Founder of The Emerald Cup and Area 101, and part of every conversation regarding cannabis in Northern California, Tim's universally admired for his manic work ethic, spiritual wisdom, and fundamental fairness and integrity. He is a leader in reform, and a champion of both farmer as well as the land that nourishes him and us, stressing sustainability, organic flowers and most important, small family farms as the desirable model. What makes up a man like this? You're about to get a glimpse, in his autobiographical novel, The Cannabis Crusader: Dancing with the Feds, A Spiritual Journey Through One Man's Lifelong Dedication to his Medicine, a thrilling read about a thrilling life." —John Vergados, SKUNK Magazine

About the Author

im Blake started using cannabis in 1971. He grew his first outdoor cannabis crop in 1975 and has been a part of the evolution of our industry and culture ever since, witnessing every aspect the incredible journey it’s taken us on. That same Tim year he also started doing transcendental meditation, since then, cannabis and meditation have been an integral part of his daily life. A realtor in the late seventies, Tim was one of the founders and the CEO of several production companies in the early 1980s including a “New Age” distribution and production company, a Rap music label, and a video and music production studio. Tim is blessed to have three amazing daughters and six beautiful grandchildren. He has owned property in Mendocino County since the late seventies, finally moving up for good in 1992. In 1998 he bought an old campground and created “Area 101”, a spiritual sanctuary and event center for all faiths, devoted to personal growth and spiritual enlightenment. Over the years he’s produced a wide range of events, and created The Emerald Cup, the Worlds Largest Organic, Outdoor Cannabis Competition. Tim sponsored and helped produce the first gathering of law enforcement and cannabis farmers, to openly discuss how they would work together. This helped lead to the creation of the 9.31 program, the first of its kind in our country; whereby cannabis

growers could get legal permits from the county to grow organic cannabis. This, in turn led to Tim and a partner creating the Mendocino Farmers Collective, the first collective that brought together outdoor, organic growers in Mendocino County, creating a way to get Blake their products to dispensaries around California, which at that time were predominately featuring indoor grown cannabis. During this same time The Emerald Cup was growing into the event it is today. Later, Tim cofounded Healing Harvest Farms (HHF) a cannabis collective dispensary that is located at Area 101. He was a founding member of California Cannabis Policy Reform (CCPR), which evolved into CA Reform, and he was also a founding member of the Mendocino Cannabis Policy Council (MCPC).

What People Are Saying

“Such an exciting and interesting look in to the world of cannabis, government, and spirituality. Tim is a pioneer and the emerald cup is an amazing event. As laws and opinions are changing around the world, this book couldn’t have come at a better time to serve as both a lesson in history and a guide for the future. Can’t wait for more books!” — Jordan C., on Amazon.com “Hang on for the ride.. This is a behind the scenes raw look into the rapidly changing world of cannabis. Excited for the second book!” —Chad, on Amazon.com http://tinyurl.com/zdyqhy7
