BRAZIL. Piranhas Attack Humans



Piranhas are a group of carnivorous freshwater fish. Inhabit some rivers of South America They belong to five genera of the subfamily Serrasalminae (which also includes fish such as pacu and the called golden fish).

The word "piranha" is a hybrid term that has its origin  in Tupi-guarani language  may have originated in the composition of the words 'pirá', meaning 'fish' + 'ranha', meaning 'tooth'.  Or - even, it can be originated  'pirá' ('fish') + 'Anha' ('cutter').

It is a fish very voracious predator gifted with very strong jaws. Most piranhas are fast, but usually attack when they are encouraged to do so. Among the numerous species of piranhas, some are cannibals - others, not, but all have aggressive behaviors. Piranhas are close relatives of Pacus and are often confused with them when still small.

Fears of 'Testicle-Eating' Fish Overblown



BITTTEN ON THE FOOT. On a Friday, July 26 (2013), a visitor of the State of Sao Paulo, the young Vitor Rodrigues Baptista, 15 years - was attacked during a walk in the Lagoon. The victim had to be hospitalized. 

CEARA state/BRAZIL - In Lagoa do Catu (Catu lagoon), at Aquiraz, metropolitan region of Fortaleza (state capital), a turistic point, attacks of "piranhas brancas" (pirampebas, white pirañas, serrasalmus brandti) are scaring the visitants - making impossible the baths and recreational activities on site.

On a Friday, July 26 (2013), a visitor of the State of Sao Paulo, the young Vitor Rodrigues Baptista, 15 years - was attacked during a walk in the Lagoon. The victim had to be hospitalized.

The attacks in the Lagoa de Catu are been happening since 2009 (even before) and has resulted in significant damage to local tourism.

There some years,  government actions have tried to combat superpopulation of piranhas which presence isn't natural in the environment.

The action of combat to the invasors includes the introduction of a natural predator of piranhas: the tilapias. However, this providence, in these almost four years, don't produced the effect desired. The population of piranhas remains constant and growing.


The Secretary of State for Fisheries and Aquaculture of Ceará, Ricardo Campos, explained that the attacks are occurring due to an imbalance in the food chain. 

The pirambebas are predators and, in environment of the lagoon,  they haven't enemies above them in the food chain nor the usual preys that are their food in their natural habitat.

So there is an imbalance: the fishes begin to practice the canibalism and, even, attack human beings to satisfy their hungry for meat.

The pirambeba is not native from that place and came to the pond after a flooding. The pirambeba is native of Ceara, but originally they live in the waters of the Lima Campos reservoir (distant 400 km from Aquiraz).


In 1992, with the construction of the Canal  do Trabalhador (a channel), which function is to conduce the water from the Jaguaribe river to supply the city of Fortaleza - new migration routes were created allowing the invasion of piranhas in watersheds that never before harbored this species.



PIAUI state. The invasion of piranhas is not restricted to freshwaters cearences. In Barragem do Bezerro (Bezerro dam), city of José de Freitas, Piaui state, in a single weekend, were reported around a hundred of attacks of those fishes.

 

Also at Piauí state, in 2011, the Barragem do Bezerro (Bezerro Dam, ABOVE) received 100,000 tilapia to try to control overpopulation of piranhas.  

BELOW: Lagoa do Portinho - Piaui, unauthorized access to bathers.




PARA state. At São Geraldo do Araguaia city, southeast of Pará state (brazilian North Region) - in Praia da Gaivota (Gaivota beach, Araguaia river), swimmers have been victims of attacks by piranhas.

 

Amid shadows of the stones: piranhas, the little carnivorous monsters of freshwater.

The technician of the health post of the beach, the nurse Danilo Barbosa, succours victims, injured in attacks, every weekend. He himself was a victim of bites and informs: We we attended average 10 to 15 cases of piranhas bites per day.

The cases have been happening there already for 4 years. Only in July this year (2013), 122 swimmers were victims of attacks. According to the firemen, the most cases occurs in a place of the beach where exists a large amount of stones. The biologist Cristina Vieira explains the behavior of the fishes. 

Possibly it is breeding season, then they can be protecting their offspring. Another motivation for their massive presence are the food scraps, thrown in the water by marketers and bathers. This attracts small species that are food for the piranhas. By this way, places like this can become a point of concentration for these voracious carnivores of freshwater.

The Fire Department can't ban the entry of the bathers in Praia das Gaivotas, but ensures that guides them about possible attacks piranhas in the river. IBAMA technicians, of the Municipal Environment Secretary are mapping the area to instruct security measures that able to prevent further attacks.

The Giant Geographic Pentagram of Kazakhstan


 

The pentagram of Kazakhstan: 1,200 feet (366 meters) of diameter. A geoglyph traced with trees of unknown authorship.

The head of fundamentals architectural design and construction of the School of Design of KRSU (Kyrgyz Russian Slavic University), Yuri Smirnov, has few historical information: The park was designed in the 30s by architect Vladimir Nusovym (архитектором Владимиром Нусовым).

Despite the traced already be known there a long time, was re-discovered in 2009 by Shairbek Zhusuev party leader "Erk" (or Erkin) - of a neighbor country, Kyrgyzstan. (KPRU, 2010)

KAZAKHSTAN. Internet users in Kazakhstan, were visualizing regions of the country using Google Maps, when found an image, at least, unusual - located in an area called Denisovsky (Denisovka, Kazakhstan), where there is a summer camp, near the city of Lisakovsk situated at the shores of the river Tobol - Kostanai province (or Qostanay).

There, the eye of the satellite clearly shows a pentagram. Before someone make ​​a relation between this image and the evil, the devil! - An End of World imminent, perhaps, it is worth remembering that, the meaning of the pentagram -  within  of a circle (or not) - doesn't correspond to the popular ideia of an association with some kind of malefic force.


The truly interpretation of this milenar historic symbol is, esoterically talking, more complex. In the context of Occult Sciences which, in no way, must be confused with mere witchcraft, the pentagram is the symbol of the microcosm that is Man.

The polarity of energy, positive or negative, to which it can refer, depends on the direction in which it is drawn: if it is depicted reversed - ie, with the tip facing down or not in relation to the reference point of the route - for example, the north.

The inverted pentagram is equivalent to the representation of an "inverted man", so disturbed that - somehow, is something contrary to the Laws of Nature.


Map of Kazakhstan. Qostanay in central north.


Detail: Qostanay province

Qostanay is a province (like a state of a federation) located north of Kazakhstan, where the country has borders with Russia. It isn't  a coastal territory: the blue of water that appears on the map is one of its lacustrine basins or - more likely, the waters of the river Tobol (mentioned above). On the map, is possible see two large lakes in the country.

The pentagram is not recent discovery. The place is known and called The Pentagram Lisakovsk. The landscape of the park (because the local is a park, Panfilov Park) was a lot more lush in the past. The trees were planted neatly to create this figure, a pentagram whose lines are still visible in the from the space and also on the soil.

However, the question remains: why anyone would bother to do such a job landscaping. Again, appears the relationship of the symbol with the Devil or Satanism.

Even according to the Occult Sciences, it is within a circle marked with a pentagram many magical operations are realized, as "evocation of spirits", for example.

In this case, the goal of the traced is to define a restricted area where, the sorcerer will be protected against influences of "undesirables" such as evil spirits or interferences of its enemies. Perhaps, the landscaper (historicaly, unknown) has desired create a place with a positive atmosphere, under the mystical, astral and spiritual view.

MEXICO. The Communion Wafer That Bleeds



MEXICO, STATE OF JALISCO. CITY OF GUADALAJARA (the state capital). Wednesday, July 24, 2012. In the parish Maria Madre de la Iglesia, colônia Jardines de la Paz, the priest José Dolores Castellanos Gudiño - known as priest Lolo - revealed a transcendental experience: being in prayer, he listened a voice that instructed him to communicate a divine message to the community .

In the words of the priest, the voice told him: My dear apostle Dolores, today is a great day. The bells must ring for for call those that will come from all corners. I will pour out blessings for those who will be present.

A blessing would have been manifested immediately, in a Eucharistic miracle:  when he opened the shrine (where communion wafers are stored), was there - inside the goblet of Consecration, a communion wafer dipped in a dark red liquid. 

As had been determined by divine command, the priest announced the fact. Of course,  quickly, the faithfuls  began to say that the liquid is the blood of the Christ, Jesus.



But still in the Wednesday (24/07/2013), when chalice and communion wafer were placed in sight of the believers, the tumult in the interior of the temple was inevitable and demanded the intervention of police and religious leaders (above).

Always cautious with all the called miraculous occurrences related to Christianity Roman Catholic, the Mexican representatives of the Church of the Vatican, or the Archdiocese of Guadalajara, on Thursday (25/07/2013), promoted the celebration of Mass, at noon.  The temple stood  filled. 

While this,  the chalice with the communion wafer were removed from public display and duly forwarded for analysis. The case also has been duly registered according local legal proceedings.

Before stating any miracle is needed make examinations to determine if the red liquid is, in fact, hematic - blood and if is human blood. This is the first step to science and religion can confirm or reject the miraculous nature (supernatural or divine) event.


Priest José Dolores Castellanos Gudino. He doesn't stood much time disposable to mass midia. Disappeared, assuming the discrete posture recommended by Church.

Wanted by the midia, priest Lolo was not found. (Another classic measure of the Church of Vatican in its strategy of discretion around alleged miracles). Another priest explained that "Lolo" was not in the the parish, but was working on other activities.

After Mass on Thursday (25/07/2013), the church of Madre María de la Iglesia was closed to the public, leaving open only the Chapel and Atrium. Also the sacristy and office of the church were closed too. Was only allowed entry of journalists publishing Semanário. Outside, many reporters and onlookers crowded the place in search of news about "the communion wafer that bleeds".

The Archdiocese of Guadalajara issued a statement in which says that Archbishop J. Francisco Robles Ortega, acquainted with the case, asked the monsignor Ramiro Valdés, Vicar General of that Diocese, to follow the investigations until they reach a conclusive result, no mistakes. The statement also highlights ... It is not impossible that Jesus manifestes up this way ...

The Phaistos Disc Code



The Phaistos Disc was discovered on July 15, 1908 by the Italian archaeologist Luige Pernier in an excavation of a Minoan palace of Phaistos, Crete. Currently, the disc is under the trusteeship of the Heraklion Museum , Crete.


NO YOUTUBE:  IL DISCO DI FESTO 1/2, DOCUMENTARY-LECTURE WITH THE  RESEARCHER  BARBARA GAGLIANO
[http://youtu.be/BlRReosjWq0]

ANCIENT MYSTERIES. After hold hidden in itself - for decades - as an indecipherable enigma to archaeologists and scholars of ancient languages​​, the Phaistos Disc (Phaistos Disk, Phaisto) - was finally decoded.

The result of the work of researcher Barbara Gagliano is recorded in the book "The Phaistos's disc, Key of Genetic Diseases". This relic, has its origins in the -  also mysterious - Minoan nation or civilization (from Minos, the king - Crete).

Gagliano found the key code of Phaestus in the DNA structure. The discovery is remarkable given the age of the object, estimated around the year 1,400 BC (late Bronze Age). Made ​​of clay, is recorded on two sides with different symbols arranged in spiral.

There is a reason which such symbols be disposed in spirals and with opposite polarities amid its two sides. Spiral is, presumed structural form of the DNA molecule. The Phestos symbols, deciphered, correspond, according to the scientist, to the 23 female chromosomes and 23 men, which combined, carry all information needed to configura a human being. 

The called "side A" of the Disc contains the maternal information; the side B, paternal information (images above).

In the Hefaistos's code, each chromosome can be represented by one or more, two or three symbols in each division or step of the spiral. The symbols, in each section, together, compose a chromosome.

Some of these representations indicates the  fragility of a chromosome. the possibility of a rupture. An accident that results in genetic abnormalities.

The Disk of Phaistos is like a map that shows , yet, the possibility of malformations caused by the dispersal of genetic material. Barbara Gagliano commented:

How much more I have dived into the code, more surprised and shocked I stood - about how our ancestors could might represent so accurately even genes, cell particles and molecules.

With this key of the extraordinary message of the Code, Barbara was able to study, in a new light, in a novel approach, genetic diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Down syndrome, achondrogenesis, chronic myeloid leukemia, Burkitt's lymphoma, Tay-Sachs and many others.

Here is another one of those mysteries of the Ancient's Knowledge that Orthodox science will go have trouble to explain.
