The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency has successfully launched another of their H-IIA space rockets. Its payload, the MTSAT-2 satellite designed to control air traffic and track weather patterns, has successfully separated from the rocket. It is due to be inserted into a geostationary orbit on the 21st of February.

The satellite is owned by the Civil Aviation Bureau and the Japan Meteorological Agency, part of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.

The rocket was launched from the Tanegashima space centre in the southern region of Kagoshima, at 15:55 (06:55 GMT). It is the ninth in a series of H-IIA rockets, which form the main part of the Japanese space program. A previous H-IIA rocket was launched less than a month ago.

Original Story
  • “Hotel development proposal could displace Buffalo, NY business owners” — Wikinews, February 17, 2006

In February of 2006, the Savarino Services Construction Corp. proposed the construction of a seven million dollar hotel on Elmwood and Forest Avenues in Buffalo, New York. In order for the hotel to be built, at least five properties containing businesses and residents would have to be destroyed. It was not certain whether the properties were owned by Savarino or by the landlord Hans Mobius. The hotel was designed by Karl Frizlen of the Frizlen Group, and is planned to be a franchise of the Wyndham Hotels group.

Elmwood Avenue is known by the community as a popular shopping center, and Nancy Pollina of Don Apparel (who is “utterly against” the construction) claims it’s the only reason why students from Buffalo State College leave campus. Additionally, Michael Faust of Mondo Video said he did not want to “get kicked out of here [his video store property].”

In 1995, a Walgreens was proposed to be built on the same land, but Walgreens later withdrew its request for a variance because of pressure from the community. More recently, Pano Georgiadis tried to get the rights to demolish the Atwater House next to his restaurant on Elmwood Avenue, but was denied a permit due to the property’s historical value. He has since been an opponent to the hotel construction.

In the process of debating the hotel, it was thought that a hotel had previously existed on the proposed site, however; research done at the Buffalo and Erie County Historical Society had shown that no hotel had previously existed on the site.

May 2011 black magic alert! construction Kalachakra Ritual in Washington DC, July 6th-16th designed evoke powerful evil principalities.

by

kenn8yzpka

May 2011 has seen an American tour of the Dalai Lama in Los Angeles, Dallas, Minneapolis, Fayetteville, and N.J. He is also set to return to the American in July, where he will be over-seeing the

Kalachakra

rite for World Peace in Washington DC, July 6th-16th. The 10-day event inc, will include the making and dismantling of the Kalachakra Sand Mandala, a series of speeches by the Dalai Lama, and what lamas call as ancient rituals

The Kalachakra (literally The Wheel of Time ) ceremonies are part of the Kalachakra Tantra and are recognized to be the center point of all Buddhist systems. The Kalachakra is intended to “alter the time” out of the Christian time into the aeon of Aquarius, “to make alterations in times and in law” (See Daniel 7:25). The ritual initiation of new Buddhists has 15 levels. The Dalai Lama only conducts the first seven in the open, and these comprise of dance, chanting, prayers and many symbolic acts. The next 8 are a tightley guarded secret, and only a few of the original initiates will go through the following levels of the initiation process.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-VjaqiaJuo[/youtube]

The Kalachakra Rituals are held seldomly and almost always in eastern countries like India. However, the rituals have been conducted in America in the past. The Kalachakra rituals are said to bring peace, however the last time the Dalai Lama performed these rituals in United States was in 1991 in NYC in the shadow of the Twin Towers; two years later monks constructed another Kalachakra mandala in the lobby of Tower One. This mandala was of enormous proportions, taking 30 days from start to the dissolution ceremony.

Although the secret aspects of the ceremony are closely guarded, there are those who have painstakingly studied the many different Buddhist texts, and have pieced together the different aspects of these rituals to bring the disgusting truth into the open.

In Buddhism the goal is to achieve the trance of enlightenment, where one is like a god. The purpose of these rituals is to bring the individual into such a state. When in this state, practices normally forbidden or reprehensible are considered sacred.

Little is known by the general public about the ‘secret’ initiations, which are a combination of the most disgusting occult practices and sex magic; as well as human sacrifice. They involve the master, who has already entered an enlightened state (and is therefore god like); his pupil, the initiate who must master his human lusts; and a total of 10 virgins, who must have started menstruation and be between 12 and 20 years of age.

What follows is nothing more than a highly controlled orgy, the pupil having to prove he has mastered his lusts before he can enter the enlightened state of mind; and the master who has already displayed his control over his lust, performs sexual acts on the girls. The ceremonies also include the ingesting of semen mixed with menstrual blood and urine from a human skull; as well as the eating of human flesh, and even human sacrifice. These acts signify the highest forms of witchcraft and are to evoke powerful evil forces.

The Dalai Lama is very aware of the importance of the city he has chosen. The organizer s own literature states, The Kalachakra for World Peace 2011 will unfold in a world capital where local actions deeply and globally affect the lives of so many. These people understand the importance of establishing a presence in key locations, and they know how to open the gates of hell. Unfortunatley, the church does not understand that the gates of hell shall not prevail against the church if they take action. Washington DC needs a presence that carries an anointing to take authority over this level of black magic.

The Kalachakra Tantra does not prophesy peace, but apocalyptic war. The problems facing America today, cannot be solved by the flesh: through political debate, moral guidance, getting rid of Obama …. The problems are the fruit of sorcery. And this July the Dalai Lama and a team of monks will be performing the most powerful black magic rituals imaginable. What will the church do to save her nation from this spiritual onslaught? This battle is not against flesh and blood, but against demonic powers and principalities that want to destroy United States.

Kivimetsän Druidi? is a Finnish female-fronted band formed in 2002 whose music is a fusion of symphonic, fantasy and folk metal, which the band’s website dubs ‘Rock ‘N’ Troll’.

Brothers Joni and Antti Koskinen formed the band in Kouvola with Joni playing guitar and growling while Antti played keyboard and sings backing vocals. They joined up with a female lead vocalist, lead and bass guitarists and a drummer. The brothers write the songs between them, with Antti doing the main body and Joni writing the lyrics.

Together the band recorded and released three demos and an EP, all released independently, across 2002-6. Across October and November 2007 they gained international attention by supporting well-known Finnish folk metal band Korpiklaani across a large European tour.

On June 6 this year Kivimetsän Druidi? was announced to have been signed to Century Media Records in a global deal. The band have now entered Noice Camp studio in Turku to record their debut, with a planned release date in October. This summer the only performances will be at a handful of festivals while the band works on their new album, but after that is released a major tour will follow to support it. The band say they are “extremely pleased” with the deal.

Wikinews was able to discuss these events and what the future holds for the band with the Koskinen brothers and female vocalist Leeni-Maria Hovila, who also writes the vocal melodies in an exclusive interview, which is published below for the first time.

Never again, never again should Wall Street greed bring such suffering to our country.

The US House of Representatives passed a significant overhaul of financial regulations that strengthens the government’s hold on banks and also creates a new federal agency to oversee consumer lending on Wednesday.

“Never again, never again should Wall Street greed bring such suffering to our country,” said House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-MD after the bill was passed by the House.

The House vote, which was mainly split over party lines, had 237 representatives in favor and 192 opposed. Only three Republicans voted for the bill, though this was an increase from December, when no Republicans voted for the previous version of the bill. This new bill combines the old December bill with a newer one passed by the more conservative Senate last month.

But even though the Senate passed their bill already, support for the one passed Wednesday looks a little uncertain. Since earlier this year the Democrats lost their 60 vote filibuster majority, they had to secure the votes of a few more moderate Republican senators to beat back procedural hurdles. Democrats struggled to win the full support of these senators even after backing down on a US$19 billion tax on big banks and hedge funds, which had been opposed by Republicans. This group of senators includes Scott Brown, Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins. All three voted for the Senate bill last month.

The $19 billion tax was inserted in the 2000 page plus bill late last week, which came as a surprise to many large banks. Brown initially objected to the tax, and threatened to vote against the entire bill if the tax was not removed. Instead, the new way of financing the bill’s cost will be using $11 billion in cash that came from ending the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), a bill passed in 2008 that bailed out struggling banks, and also by increasing rates that banks pay to insure bank deposits to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. However, the increase in rates won’t affect banks with assets of less then $10 billion.

On Wednesday, Collins wrote a statement saying that she now planned to vote for the bill. However, Brown remained on the fence and said he would use recess during the week of July 4th to examine the details of the bill. He credited Senate Banking Committee Chairman Chris Dodd for “thinking outside the box” in coming with a new way to fund the bill.

Other Republicans were much more opposed to the bill, and attacked it for failing to place tighter restrictions on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the mortgage giants that helped trigger the economic and housing meltdowns. House Republican leader John Boehner compared the new bill to using a nuclear weapon on an ant. In response, President Barack Obama said in a speech in Racine, Wisconsin that “[i]f the Republican leader is that out of touch with the struggles facing the American people, he should come here to Racine and ask people if they think the financial crisis was an ant.”

TheReason A Co-Payment Is Necessary

In this working population,lots of people possess health insurance for individuals’ plan in which theemployer generally insures a big portion of the annual premiums. Employees willstill be expected to come up with a co-payment every time they pay a visit to ahealth care professional. This payment consists of only a small amount of moneycome out from the employees’ pocket towards the price for getting thetreatments. This option of health insurance plan is well known. Due to theco-payment, people today will likely not make unwanted visits to the medicalpractitioners for very minor health problems which they can essentially treatby themselves at home. In turn, this also helps the health insuranceorganization to reduce the premiums, particularly in this very competitivemarket.

ApplyingMedicare For People Above 65

If one is above 65 andcurrently have some kind of disabilities, an individual can start looking intothe likelihood of having a Medicare to assist them in cutting down more in themedical expenditures. One significant negative aspect that an individual shouldknow is that Medicare will not cover up the fees for the drugs prescribed. Thisexpense also includes the cost of making use a nursing home. Having said that,don’t lose hope. There are still inexpensive prescription options obtainable inthe industry which often can benefit you tremendously in reducing the expenseborne for paying prescription drugs.

ApplyFor HSA(Healthcare Savings Account) To Your Advantage

Unfortunately, if you visitthe medical doctor very regularly due to some health related conditions inwhich you may experience, it is best for you to sign up for a HSA account. Thiswill help you to reduce your once a month health related spending drastically.How this operates is that you can reserve a portion of money to be deductedfrom your salary once a month and to be deposited into the HSA. This sum ofmoney can then be used to handle the expenses for all health-related expenses borne.This will efficiently help you to minimize your medical fees, as the cash inthe HSA is from your income prior to tax.

Given above are merelyvarious tips in which you can certainly be aware of before purchasing anyhealth care insurance. Thus, prior to you deciding opting for any healthinsurance products, complete your homework first. For example, you will need tomake a decision about whether you are prepared to co-pay in your medical planor prefer paying higher annual or per month premiums that will permit you notpaying for the medical treatment you receive.

Lastly, irrespective ofwhat health insurance for individuals plan you choose to pursue, don’t justdecide on one that may cost you the cheapest. Believe it or not, you have totry to select one that go well with your requirements in terms of restrictions,coverage and benefits that you could possibly get.

Journalist, counselor, painter, and US 2012 Presidential candidate Joe Schriner of Cleveland, Ohio took some time to discuss his campaign with Wikinews in an interview.

Schriner previously ran for president in 2000, 2004, and 2008, but failed to gain much traction in the races. He announced his candidacy for the 2012 race immediately following the 2008 election. Schriner refers to himself as the “Average Joe” candidate, and advocates a pro-life and pro-environmentalist platform. He has been the subject of numerous newspaper articles, and has published public policy papers exploring solutions to American issues.

Wikinews reporter William Saturn? talks with Schriner and discusses his campaign.

On the second day today of a three day visit to India the President of the People’s Republic of China, Xi Jinping, has signed multiple economic deals with India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi.File:Xi Jinping October 2013 (cropped).jpg

China would set up two industrial parks in India, one in Gujarat and one in Maharashtra. The deals encompass Chinese investment of US$20 billion in infrastructure projects, modernisation of the Indian Railways, and agreements on trade, space exploration, and civil nuclear energy. China has also committed itself to opening its markets to Indian pharmaceuticals and farm products. A final settlement of the unresolved dispute over the Chinese–Indian border in the Himalayas is also to be sought; the dispute, over which the Sino-Indian War of 1962 was fought, arises over where the border should be.

In a message to Chinese journalists on Tuesday, Indian Prime Minister Modi used the slogan “Inch towards Miles”, (standing for “India and China towards Millennium of Exceptional Synergy”) to express his hopes as to the future direction of the two nations’ bilateral ties. The Indian Prime Minister further emphasised the shared history and culture of the two nations which could be further enhanced for a brighter shared future.

The Chinese president’s visit comes amid tension over Chinese territorial claims in the South China Sea, clashing with claims of several other countries, including Japan. In a five day visit to Japan in the beginning of this month, Modi said “The world is divided in two camps. One camp believes in expansionist policies while the other believes in development.” Modi and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe also came to an agreement which would see Japanese investment in India rise to US$33.6 billion in the next five years.

Another unresolved tension between the two nuclear powers India and China is continued Chinese support of India’s rival Pakistan.

Xi’s visit to India, which began yesterday following visits to Sri Lanka and the Maldives, is part of an initiative Xi likens to the creation of a 21st Century Maritime Silk Road.

Ian Narev, the CEO of the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, this morning “unreservedly” apologised to clients who lost money in a scandal involving the bank’s financial planning services arm.

Last week, a Senate enquiry found financial advisers from the Commonwealth Bank had made high-risk investments of clients’ money without the clients’ permission, resulting in hundreds of millions of dollars lost. The Senate enquiry called for a Royal Commission into the bank, and the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC).

Mr Narev stated the bank’s performance in providing financial advice was “unacceptable”, and the bank was launching a scheme to compensate clients who lost money due to the planners’ actions.

In a statement Mr Narev said, “Poor advice provided by some of our advisers between 2003 and 2012 caused financial loss and distress and I am truly sorry for that. […] There have been changes in management, structure and culture. We have also invested in new systems, implemented new processes, enhanced adviser supervision and improved training.”

An investigation by Fairfax Media instigated the Senate inquiry into the Commonwealth Bank’s financial planning division and ASIC.

Whistleblower Jeff Morris, who reported the misconduct of the bank to ASIC six years ago, said in an article for The Sydney Morning Herald that neither the bank nor ASIC should be in control of the compensation program.

Local florists versus online florists

by

Dpetals Singapore

A florist is basically a person who takes care of the flowers and specializes in the arrangements of the flowers and their designs in bouquet. Florists also take contracts for the flower arrangements for the weddings. These florists are experts in the several designs of flowers.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieP97FqZo5U[/youtube]

There are a large number of online Singapore florists which are easily available on the internet. You can also find them in the local shops. There are some benefits and drawbacks of local florists over the online florists. When you are buying the flowers from the local Singapore florist, then he can provide you more personalized service for the flowers. In addition to this, if you are buying the flowers from the local florists, he can also provide you some discounts if you are his regular customer which is not same in the case if you are buying the flowers from the online florists. The online Singapore florist will be having the national and the international network where he can provide a very fast delivery with just a single call from your phone. Since, the local florist cannot give the free delivery to the every customer who comes to his shop. So, here you have to compromise with local florists. When you order a bouquet of flowers online then there is a particular amount of fee which you have to pay for processing the order to the real florists. The total cost which you will give to the florist, the florist will only get a part of it and the rest is the processing fee. For instance if you are buying the flowers for $65 and this order is further passed to a local florist to process, then the actual price of those flowers is around $45. The florist delivery of flowers is generally very fast but the online florists generally lack in the real knowledge of flowers as compared to local florists. Their knowledge is only limited to the picture of flowers and the scant details. The florists are the individuals which deal with the flowers at the retail level. These flowers-only shops also include the telephone orders, sales and online stores. Since 1998, it has been observed that there is at least 28 percent decline in the local florist shops. The main reason is the evolution of World Wide Web. It has affected the local stores of flowers to a great extent. Today, the people generally do not have enough time to go and buy flowers from a local wholesale florist and just order them online by paying some extra dollars. If you go to the local florist shop, you will find a very special arrangement of the flowers. They normally keep them in sleeves and containers. Whether you are selecting the florist online or a local florist, you should make sure that the florist you are choosing should have complete knowledge of various designs and arrangements, especially if you need them for some important event. However, it has been observed that if you hire a local florist then he will have more knowledge of various matching themes of flowers.
