we need a new calendar for the solar system, the dates are wrong out there, im working on one but well, it would have the months as zones from the sun so at earth it would have 365 days and at Neptune it would have 5000 or so days in the years so aug 25 on earth would have a time space component and in the aug zone if Neptune were in it it would or could be aug 25.0031 since it takes Neptune about 150 earth years to go around the sun so the Neptune months would have about 5000 days.. the date reference would be dec 21 2010 when the lunar eclipse was on the winter solstice on earth , an alignment which only happens about every 340 years. the top of the calendar thus would be when earth was in winter on the north side of the sun. say on mars now since it takes two years to go around the sun im not sure which zone it is in now, i think its june so the date on mars today could be june 4.5 up to june 30.5 as it would have 60 days in a month or so More >

1914-1918: The Great War: the start and end of the Great War ushered in a tidal shift in global society, The old imperial monarchies and dynasties proved ineffective in running modern affairs and the tide of nationalism and parliaments and government bureaucracies, emerged as a more practical and effective way to govern. Parties and corporations thus loomed as the new monarchies of the twentieth century governance.

An introduction to the science and art of perception management.
The phrase "perception management" is filtering into common use as a synonym for "persuasion." Public relations firms now offer "perception management" as one of their services. Similarly, public officials who are being accused of shading the truth are now frequently charged with engaging in "perception management" when disseminating information to media or to the general public.
Although perception management operations are typically carried out within the international arena between governments, and between governments and citizens, use of perception management techniques have become part of mainstream information management systems in many ways that do not concern military campaigns or government relations with citizenry. Businesses may even contract with other businesses to conduct perception management for them, or they may conduct it in-house with their public relations staff.
Perception management is a term originated by the U. S. military. The U. S. Department of Defense (DOD) gives this definition:
Actions to convey and/or deny selected information and indicators to foreign audiences to influence their emotions, motives, and objective reasoning as well as to intelligence systems and leaders at all levels to influence official estimates, ultimately resulting in foreign behaviors and official actions favorable to the originator's objectives. In various ways, perception management combines truth projection, operations security, cover and deception, and psychological operations.
