First thing that happens is relaxation followed by a high tone ringing inside head/ears.
Upon further investigation it becomes obvious once the cycle is broken that you are actually able to realize when an abduction is taking place.
Just now I was being abducted and woke up, looked around to see Obama and Justin Beiber communicating telepathically with one another. I could see the worm hole like occurrence and defended myself with rapid head movement and awareness.
This shit is no joke people. They(ET's) are here and have infiltrated our government. 100% guaranteed I saw shape shifting while they communicated with to communicate with each other and watch me. I t was amazing how frightened they were that I could actually see them. I could obviously see them when I looked up stream of the channel( like a wormhole of sorts that was telepathically being used to broadcast the ringing into my head.)
Wtf guys, we all need to do urine therapy to decalcify our pineal gland and kickout/ exterminate the parasitic threat to our people.
Who would have thought it, but it turns out that the creationists were right all along! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wXVUh-9OyM I don't know about you, but I'm starting to feel that it wasn't such a good idea to deny God, now that we've been found out. Do you think it's too late to break with Satan and repent? First of all, I'm going to stop being a homophile right now. No more lustful buggery for me.
Air New Zealand production featuring top bikini models draws flak from feminists
EYE-CATCHING: Christie Brinkley in an upcoming safety video by Air New Zealand, where she and other models show off their toned bodies.
Normally, flight-safety videos can be boring. They struggle to catch the attention of passengers as cabin crew take them through the procedures.
But Air New Zealand has decided to ditch those boring videos by sexing it up with bikini-clad models starring in their latest in-flight video. The models explain, in a different way, what to do in case of an emergency, the Mail Online reported.
The video, posted on YouTube, was shot in the Cooks Islands in the south Pacific. Among the models is supermodel Christie Brinkley, who puts in a guest appearance.
The 60-year-old did not go to the tropical resort island for the shoot, but played her role from her Los Angeles home.
The video was produced in association with Sports Illustrated to mark the 50th anniversary of the magazine's swimsuit edition. But the preview of the video has already riled feminists who slam it as "sexist", The Telegraph reported.
Air New Zealand, known for producing quirky video, has been accused of going too far with its latest "highly sexualised" offering.
Dr Deborah Russell, a lecturer at New Zealand's Massey University, is livid.
She told FairFax newspaper: "My concern is that as a woman, I get on a plane to go to a business meeting and I am confronted by women in bikinis in what are highly sexualised images. That jars."
The airline also plans to use the video to promote its route from Auckland to Los Angeles, which offers a stop-over in the Cook Islands.
An Air New Zealand spokesman said the airline was not concerned about a potential backlash from passengers over the video's portrayal of women.
He said: "We have been careful to ensure 'Safety in Paradise' has been produced in a way that is tasteful.
"Naturally, given this safety video celebrates 50 years of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, it made sense to feature some of the magazine's most well-known models."
India commemorates death of Delhi gang-rape victim
Activist sitting near the effigies of the rapists yesterday as they marked the first anniversary of the death of a gang-rape victim in New Delhi. The rape and the woman's subsequent death stirred nationalwide anger towards the country's treatment of women.
NEW DELHI - India held candlelight vigils and prayers to mark the one-year anniversary of the death of a student who was gang-raped on a Delhi bus.
The 23-year-old physiotherapy student was attacked by six men as she returning home from the cinema with a male companion. On Dec 29 last year, she died from severe injuries in a Singapore hospital, where she was being treated.
The attack and her subsequent death shook the country, shone a global spotlight on India's treatment of women and unleashed public anger about sexual violence and harassment of women.
The victim's family will hold a religious ceremony in their ancestral village in northern Uttar Pradesh state, away from the media attention they have faced since the attack, her brother said.
"We want to remember her in a quiet way, away from all the glare. We want it to be a private family moment," the brother, who cannot be named for legal reasons, told Agence France-Presse.
The student, who was assaulted repeatedly with an iron rod, had suffered from ruptured lungs and badly damaged intestines. But she had been praised for her determination to report her attackers to the police before she died of her injuries.
Four of her attackers were convicted and given the death penalty in September after the case was fast-tracked, while a juvenile was sentenced to a detention centre. The sixth man died in prison in March in an apparent suicide.
The angry and sometimes violent protests against the attack jolted India's Parliament, which this year passed tougher laws against rapists and other sex-crime offenders.
Womens groups say some improvements have been made in the past 12 months to India's notoriously slow, inefficient and sometimes corrupt police and judicial systems, which has encouraged some victims to report sexual crimes against them.
In capital, a small group of students and workers gathered at Jantar Mantar yesterday, a protest site in the city centre where a makeshift memorial had been set up for the victim.
They urged lawmakers to push ahead with reforms aimed at reducing crimes against women, including speeding up the justice system. "A lot more still needs to be done to ensure that India becomes an absolute rape-free nation," said student Akash Kumar from the nearby town of Gurgaon.
Others at the memorial pushed for a fresh national debate on lowering from 18 the age at which juveniles are tried as adults for heinous crimes.
"We need to remind society that sex crimes won't be tolerated any more," said student Ishaan Ahmed.
Vatican City - The Vatican defrocked 260 priests for the sexual abuse of children in 2011 and 124 more in 2012 after the scandal exploded in Europe and beyond and bishops forwarded hundreds of cases to the Vatican, according to statistics compiled by the Associated Press.
The numbers were confirmed by the Vatican last Friday and were based on statistics published in its annual reference books.
Two Vatican officials had the statistics in hand but never cited them when they defended the Church's handling of sexual abuse cases before a United Nations panel in Geneva last Thursday.
Experts on sexual abuse in the Roman Catholic Church say that the numbers represent a spike from previous years but are not surprising, given how the scandal has unfolded in a global organisation with more than 412,000 priests.
In 2001, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, who became Pope Benedict XVI in 2005, arranged for all abuse cases to be sent to his office at the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith in Rome.
After the sexual abuse scandal erupted anew in the United States in 2002, US bishops forwarded about 700 abuse cases to the Vatican during the next few years, said Mr Nicholas P. Cafardi, the former dean of the Duquesne University School of Law, who wrote a book about the Church's response to sexual abuse.
"Since the American eruption, you've had eruptions in Ireland and Australia and a number of other European countries," he said.
"The cases could be decades old. So it's certainly a large number, but when you think of the timeframe involved, it's less impressive."
Cases of abuse by priests can be adjudicated in both Church and civil courts, although the vast majority are never prosecuted by civil authorities, often because they are beyond the statute of limitations.
Under the Church's canon law, defrocking is the most severe penalty.
Disgruntled voters send rare socialist to US city council
Seattle City Council member-elect Kshama Sawant addressing the crowd during a rally earlier this month to raise the hourly minimum wage to US$15 for fast-food workers. She is one of the few elected socialists in the US.
SEATTLE- People are used to liberals running things around here. But nobody reckoned with Ms Kshama Sawant.
Ms Sawant, a 41-year-old economics teacher and immigrant from India, took a left at liberal and then kept on going - all the way to socialism.
When she takes a seat on Seattle's nine-member City Council on Wednesday, representing the Socialist Alternative Party, she will become one of the few elected socialists in the nation, a political brand most politicians run from.
But Ms Sawant heartily embraces the label. Ask her about almost any problem facing the United States today, and her answer will probably include the "S" word as the best and most reasonable response. Socialism is the path to real democracy, she said, adding that socialism also protects the environment. Socialism is the best hope for young people who have seen their options crushed by the tide of low-wage, futureless jobs in the post-recession economy.
"The take-home message for the left in general is that people are looking for alternatives," she said in an interview, discussing her victory over a veteran Democrat by a margin of 3,100 votes out of about 184,000 cast in a citywide contest. "If you ask me, as a socialist, what workers deserve, they deserve the value of what they produce." '
The daughter of a schoolteacher and a civil engineer, Ms Sawant said she was seared by the disparities between the rich and poor around Pune, India, which is near Mumbai, and where she grew up.
But she was also shocked and radicalised, she said, by finding sharp income inequality in the US, when she immigrated here in her 20s.
Ms Sawant drifted away from computer software engineering, her first love - she once dreamed of being a "math geek", she said - and began studying economics, which she now teaches at Seattle Central Community College.
She lost her first run for public office two years ago, when she challenged a Democrat for a state legislative seat.
But she said she learnt a valuable lesson in targeting voters. This year, she aggressively, and successfully, courted transgender people and other groups.
She holds no illusions, however that a hidden bloc of socialist voters is ready to mobilise for her re-election campaign in 2015. That election could be more complicated for her, as Seattle voters this year changed the council's composition from all citywide seats to geographic districts for most members.
No one, not even Ms Sawant, believes that a socialist-majority district exists in Seattle. So, she will try to draw support from the disgruntled voters who helped elect her this year. And she is counting on them to feel the same in 2015 as they did in 2013.
"They are just fed up," she said.
The spotlight on Ms Sawant, as one of only a handful of self-avowed socialists to be elected to a city council in a major US city in decades, experts say, could be intense.
"If she remains only an activist, she will be a one-shot wonder," said Reverend Rich Lang of University Temple United Methodist Church in Seattle and a Sawant supporter.
But if she moves too far towards the centre, "she will be shot down from the left as a compromiser", he said. "There is tremendous pressure on her."
