Bless you, bless you, bonny bee:
Say, when will your wedding be?
If it be tomorrow day,
Take your wings and fly away.
---Lost Lyrics of an Old Nursery Rhyme
A swarm of bees in May
Is worth a load of hay;
A swarm of bees in June
Is worth a silver spoon;
A swarm of bees in July
Is not worth a fly.
---Nursery Rhyme
Bees are flying off in search of pollen and nectar and simply never return to their colonies. And nobody knows why. More >

Few people in the Western world know about the hidden beauty of China. Well..... of course it helps to have an ace photographer who can capture this land of enchantment as no other has. But these are some truly inspiring photos.

THE True LIGHT!
This is a 3 part video of a book I wrote in the depths of the beast back in
the mid 80s... some have called it dark but ?
anyway if you have about 15 minutes there are three parts with music featuring
excerpts from the book I wrote out of the despair called "The True Light"
smile: no one cares how you feel
stop acting like a child
everything's yours to steal if you just smile
have you no dignity?
have you no sense of style?
you'll never be pretty until you smile
smile: no one cares how you feel
the world wants to be beguiled
you can make this world kneel
if you'll just smile
always the best disguise
a license to defile
everyone you despise will die
so smile

In the magical universe
there are no coincidences and there are no accidents. Nothing happens unless someone wills it to happen.
The dogma of science is that the will cannot possibly affect external forces, and I think that's just ridiculous. It's as bad as the church. My viewpoint is the exact contrary of the scientific viewpoint. I believe that if
you run into somebody in the street it's for a reason. Among primitive people they say if someone was
bitten by a snake he was murdered. I believe that.

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.
