David Nino Rodriguez interviewed Juan O Savin (107), this was really important information and a date has been named. It’s the first time for Juan to be specific. Even though it’s for conversation only (total theory), he has no inside knowledge and only he’s chosen October 29th, as the date of the flip, or the boomerang as Roseanne Barr calls it. When the storm of truth arrives, to end the lies of the deep state.
HUGE development, we’re told that US Marshals and Canadian military raided the Canadian Ottawa Parliament building. And specifically, the Privy Council on Friday September 23rd, eyewitnesses reported seeing 50 or more unmarked black trucks. If this is the case, It might be the “first arrest to shock the world” may possibly be; Prime Minister Justin Trudeau (Trudy).
There are many reasons why it could be Trudy, one of which is he’s the largest investors in a Vancouver compan, called Acuitas. They are located at UBC and the co-inventors of the delivery system for the mRNA vaccine and Trudeau has not disclosed this to the public, that he makes money with every injection that anyone takes in Canada, or wherever that product is being used. So, this is a conflict of interest at the highest scale, to expose his corruption at the highest degree.
There’s also a story, that when Trump was President, he came to Canada for a G7 meeting. U.S. President Donald Trump lands in Saguenay, Quebec to attend part of the G7 meeting in Charlevoix on June 8, 2018. And there was an assassination attempt on him and there might be evidence that Trudeau was involved in that. This is total conspiracy theory, as it had never been proven but G7 summit ends in disarray as Trump abandons joint statement and insults Trudeau.
Meanwhile, a brand-new prime minister in Italy named Giorgia Meloni, has won. She’s a brilliant woman and very conservative, now a new beacon of hope. What she’s saying is, we need to reunite the family and put the family first and regain our values of freedom, and individuality. And so, Italy is taken a brave step forward. And the war rages on the month of October will be very, very telling brace yourselves.
Giorgia Meloni claims victory in Italy’s general election
Far-right leader Giorgia Meloni has claimed victory in Italy’s election, and is on course to become the country’s first female prime minister.
Ms Meloni is widely expected to form Italy’s most right-wing government since World War Two.
That will alarm much of Europe as Italy is the EU’s third-biggest economy.
However, speaking after the vote, Ms Meloni said her Brothers of Italy party would “govern for everyone” and would not betray people’s trust.
“Italians have sent a clear message in favour of a right-wing government led by Brothers of Italy,” she told reporters in Rome, holding up a sign saying “Thank you Italy”.
Silicon Forest was the perfect place to host an Economic Summit
It’s an amazing thing that happened, I didn’t see coming but the end result is a new collaboration with a 8 year bimonthly meetup into an established website Silicon Forest
Since 2012 a bi-monthly meetup for “appys and beer” has been held in Vancouver, to host friendly debate and exchange ideas. An agenda is available and members are invited to speak their minds and exercise free speech, in a casual atmosphere with polite decorum.
We respectfully allow all participants to share viewpoints, on the topics outlined in the articles and videos selected by the founder from the submission of members. The informal nature of the discourse enables a “speed debate”
HOW TO SPEED DEBATE – “CUT TO THE CHASE”
What is Speed Debating?
A debate is a structured argument. Two sides speak alternately for and against a particular contention usually based on a topical issue. Unlike the arguments you might have with your family or friends however, each person is allocated a time they are allowed to speak for and any interjections are carefully controlled.
Why speed debate?
It is an excellent way of improving speaking skills and is particularly helpful in providing experience in developing a convincing argument. Those of you who are forced to argue against your natural point of view realize that arguments, like coins, always have at least two sides.
The Basic Speed Debating Skills
Style
Style is the manner in which you communicate your arguments. This is the most basic part of debating to master. Content and strategy are worth little unless you deliver your material in a confident and persuasive way.
Speed
It is vital to talk at a pace which is fast enough to sound intelligent and allow you time to say what you want, but slow enough to be easily understood.
Tone
Varying tone is what makes you sound interesting. Listening to one tone for an entire presentation is boring.
Volume
Speaking quite loudly is sometimes a necessity, but it is by no means necessary to shout through every debate regardless of context. There is absolutely no need speak any more loudly than the volume at which everyone in the room can comfortably hear you. Shouting does not win debates. Speaking too quietly is clearly disastrous since no one will be able to hear you.
Clarity
The ability to concisely and clearly express complex issues is what debating is all about. The main reason people begin to sound unclear is usually because they lose the “stream of thought” which is keeping them going. It is also important to keep it simple. While long words may make you sound clever, they may also make you incomprehensible.
Content
Content is what you actually say in the debate. The arguments used to develop your own side’s case and rebut the opposite side’s. The information on content provided below is a general overview of what will be expected when you debate. The final logistics of how long you will be debating, how many people will be in your group, and how the debate will unfold (ie: which team speaks first etc.), will all be decided by the group.
Case (argument)- the whole
Introduction – The case your group is making must be outlined in the introduction. This involves stating your main arguments and explaining the general thrust of your case. This must be done briefly since the most important thing is to get on and actually argue it. It is also a good idea to indicate the aspects of the subject to be discussed by each of the team members.
Conclusion – At the end, once everyone has spoken, it is useful to briefly summarize what your group has said and why.
Case (argument)- the parts
Having outlined the whole of your argument, you must then begin to build a case (the parts). The best way to do this is to divide your case into between two and four arguments (or divide your case based on the number of people in your group). You must justify your arguments with basic logic, worked examples, statistics, and quotes. Debating is all about the strategy of “proof”. Proof, or evidence, supporting your assertion is what makes it an argument. There are a number of ways of dividing up cases according to groups of arguments (eg political/economic/social or moral/practical or international/regional etc.) or just according to individual arguments if you can’t group any together. Under each of these basic headings you should then explain the reasoning behind the argument and justify it using the methods outlined above. It is usually best to put the most important arguments first. Here is an example of a case outline:
“The media exert more influence over what people think than the government does. This is true for three reasons. Firstly, most people base their votes on what they see and hear in the media. Secondly, the media can set the political agenda between elections by deciding what issues to report and in how much detail. Thirdly, the media have successfully demonized politicians over the last ten years so that now people are more likely to believe journalists than politicians.”
All of the arguments in this case outline are debatable (almost immediately you can see the counter-arguments), but they give the case a wide range which cover all kinds of issues. The trick is not to come up with a watertight case, but a well argued one. Think: “Can I argue that?”
Rebuttal – the parts
Arguments can be factually, morally or logically flawed. They may be misinterpretations or they may also be unimportant or irrelevant. A team may also contradict one another or fail to complete the tasks they set themselves. These are the basics of rebuttal and almost every argument can be found wanting in at least one of these respects. Here are a few examples:
1. “Compulsory euthanasia at age 70 would save the country money in pensions and healthcare.” This is true, but is morally flawed.
2. “Banning cigarette product placement in films will cause more young people to smoke because it will make smoking more mysterious and taboo.” This is logically flawed, the ban would be more likely to stop the steady stream of images which make smoking seem attractive and glamorous and actually reduce the number of young people smoking.
3. “My partner will then look at the economic issues…” “Blah..blah..blah…(5 minutes later and still no mention of the economic issues)” This is a clear failure to explain a major part of the case and attention should be drawn to it. Even better is when a speaker starts with, “to win this debate there are three things I must do…”. If the speaker fails to do any of those things you can then hang her or him by the noose by repeating their exact words – by his or her own admission he or she cannot have won the debate.
Rebuttal – the whole:
It is very important to have a good perspective of the debate and to identify what the key arguments are. It isn’t enough to rebut a few random arguments here and there. Of course the techniques used above are invaluable but they must be used appropriately. There are a number of things you should do to systematically break down a team’s case:
1. Ask yourself how the other side have approached the case. Is their methodology flawed?
2. Consider what tasks the other side set themselves (if any) and whether they have in fact addressed these.
3. Consider what the general emphasis of the case is and what assumptions it makes. Try to refute these.
4. Take the main arguments and do the same thing. It is not worth repeating a point of rebuttal that has been used by someone else already, but you can refer to it to show that the argument has not stood up. It is not necessary to correct every example used. You won’t have time and your aim is to show the other side’s case to be flawed in the key areas.

The information included in the document “How to Debate” was adapted from:
Cannabis Industry experts from Canada are in a search of the next great strain by genetically breeding superior quality cannabis. A 12 acre organic farm was obtained and a collaboration began, between Zanzibar and Canada, to grow Cannabis on the Spice Island.
This BUSINESS PLAN is to scientifically collect, cultivate, catalog and publish the genetic profiles of landrace strains of cannabis from AFRICA, then produce seeds, flower and extract for commercial export to Europe, America and Canada.
MISSION: To establish ZANZIBAR in its global place; as the SPICE ISLAND CANNABIS SEED BANK
Historically Zanzibar has been a major trading hub throughout history, due to its geographical presence in the East African Indian ocean. One of the major vital crops throughout the region’s history is the Cannabis plant, unlike common misconceptions the cannabis plant has come back to the scientific world as one of the most important medicinal crops available to the human being today.
According to; “A brief agricultural history of cannabis in Africa, from prehistory to canna-colony”1 Scholars have argued that a strategy to advance economic development, is to allow farmers legal access to domestic and/or international markets for cannabis. Economic arguments for cannabis liberalization have been strong in other parts of the world, and strengthened by the revenues generated since 2014 in legalized markets in several U.S. states and Canada.
Cannabis came to Africa at least 1,000 years ago, Historical farmers grew the crop in a wide range of conditions, and harvested inflorescences. Cannabis gardens were documented in eighteenth-century South Africa and Mozambique, and nineteenth-century Egypt, Angola, Gabon, Sierra Leone, Kenya, Tunisia, and Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). It was a field crop in Angola in the 1890s, and Botswana in the 1880s, where it was the only irrigated crop. Yet the plant also grew in isolated patches away from farmland across Central Africa (1850s-1900s), and people harvested feral plants in São Tome (1860s) and South Africa (1890s).
The recent legalization of drug type cannabis for commercial production and recreational use in Canada, several US States, and other countries worldwide, as well Hemp under the US 2018 Farm Bill has created renewed scientific interest in developing a robust empirical classification system for cannabis. To that end, in our plan a particular focus has been placed on Health Canada lab testing.
With a strict focus on quality as well as a commitment to constant research and development, Stone Town Genetics has market-leading CO2 Extraction equipment from Canada, that is re-defining the capabilities of traditional Cannabis extraction methodologies. Our scientific testing capability with access to compare the Data collected by Health Canada and Certified cannabis testing labs.
In industrial botanical oil extraction, the goal is to achieve a fast extraction rate, maximize oil production, and increase profits. The tuneability of CO2 as a solvent, and the technology within the extraction equipment give ample opportunities to tweak the extraction parameters and meet this goal. The founders are expert in the operation of cannabis extraction equipment.
Stone Town Genetics provide certified laboratory cannabis testing and cannabinoid research to study the landrace strains of Africa for the purpose of capitalizing on cannabis cultivation and introducing best practices to Africa for commercial production of Medicinal Grade Cannabis.
Objective: Open a world class cannabis processing facility as the “Spice Island Cannabis Seed Bank” and collect, cultivate and propagate medical grade cannabis seeds, flower and extract.
Today I feel like I did on the first day of learning the world wide web was completely next-level compared to Compuserve, AOL and Prodigy but for many reading this they may only vaguely recognize the mention of those first 3 online platforms. Back then AOL was much more engaging than the web but it didn’t take long and everyone was learning the difference. Today Hive Blog rocks the Blockchain
In 2017 I joined Steemit and after a few posts and some browsing I lost interest and went back to Youtube, Twitter and Facebook plus I kept joining other socials to learn the difference and find ways to connect them all together. WordPress is the powerhouse of harnessing all the power of the socials, so it’s all about finding ways to integrate them into a website.
Now as the big Tech giants threaten to banish our voice from those platforms, we are forced to seek out new places where we won’t be challenged in the future for actively expressing our own opinions without recrimination. Steemit protected the freedom of expression on a Blockchain and paid people in crypto for producing good content. The idea was solid but the founder lost the confidence of his developers and followers, so a fork was spawned and it was Hive.blog
Now Hive.blog has become the rave with a fork from Steemit and a new vibrant community has exploded around the old platform, more or less taking it over from Steem and expanding on what was best in the previous version. This protection of content inspires me to create again.
The migration over to Hive.blog from Steemit was so incredibly slick, I was impressed by all the new encryption keys that I was generated. Big warning here, never lose your Keys because there’s no central admin to reset your password, if you lose them you lose your account with wallet and tokens.
This content platform has rewards to upvoting and pure liquid democracy of online group moderation. Very exciting to be involved with Hive.blog and feel so content on a Blockchain, even if it is in a cloud, it’s so de-centralized and with nodes galore and a huge testnet. In conclusion; Steem/Hive is a web developers dream. Total bullet-proof autonomy in cyber space.
WordPress Rocks! and WordCamp is as much knowledge and information as can be consumed in a single day, when it comes to learning about WordPress and web publishing.
What I learned at WordCamp was profound, that really it’s about the written word and spinning a yarn, then publishing it. The technology is now so incredible, for developing the most amazing communication platform ever. Blocks are here now and Plugins for everything.
WordPress and it’s Plugins dominate the world wide web development and web site design
Among the mistakes that I learned in WordCamp that I’ve been making, is to assume that I knew what content would build an audience online. Truth dictates that blogging about the daily life will have an audience, over time. The key is consistency, same as writing well, it takes discipline and also “getting over” what anyone else might think about what you write.
The key to blogging is to blog, so it’s so important to stand in your own authority, as an authentic but flawed human, and tell the story of what the world looks like, from your perspective. Realize though, that your voice needs to be either motivational, or inspiring, since there’s no audience for negativity (well, not in my way of thinking).
Other simple things I learned, like not to have an “About” link but rather an immediate and clear call to action, with explanation of why a person should respond to your. That is if you’re offering a service or selling a product but mostly what I’m referring to here is the pure art of blogging.
When I started this blog in 2004 it was as a corporate style of message, these ideas came from designing websites, for small businesses, starting back in the 1990’s. I had never shed those basic but wrong ideas.
The best thing I learned at WordCamp is that there’s legions of bright, enthusiastic experts, in every single niche of every aspect for both web design and development, not to mention writing and creative, insanely talented graphic artists can create wild designs that can be turned into awesome websites.
The future is ours with WordPress and the web! Ideas can reach the entire planet, lifting the masses with our good news.
Did I say how much I love WordPress? And how excited I am to go to WordCamp? A web geek at heart and incredibly excited to go to this event, first time in my life I’m happy to go to a camp of any kind but today I was walking around the UBC campus (in downtown Vancouver) where they will host WordCamp Vancouver 2019 and can’t wait to attend.
To help plan for WordCamp Vancouver 2019, here’s what sessions there are to attend this year. They’ve created five categories and placed each session into at least one category. The Categories are:
Development
Development (Advanced)
Design
Business
Blogging / Site Owning
They will have the following poster up at registration and in front of each room to help you decide what topics would be beneficial to you. You can also scroll past it to see some suggested itineraries for each category.
A reminder but these are just suggestions you are free to
attend any session you’d like at WordCamp Vancouver and we encourage you
to try attending topics you’re unfamiliar with to learn something new!
Not so long ago it was good enough to use the “Contact form” built into WordPress since the beginning but a few instant problems arise mostly due to mailserver being separate from Apache or Linux web server software.
Sending any amount of bulk email is always going to have bounce backs, there’s a rule-of-thumb in web development to keep these server functions separate.
Using a 3rd party to manage and send bulk email is just good practice, once a list grows beyond a few hundred subscribers, it’s way better to rent the service from one of many service providers. My two top favourites are Aweber and MailChimp, each of them can connect with 3rd party form services. We are testing FormStack and NinjaForms.
Another WordPress Ap called Newsletter is very impressive for being able to prefrom everything that can be done with the above tools, just a much more bare-bones platform, so you would need design skills.
Aweber and MailChimp both have vast resources of tutorials, templates, and self-help videos, plus fabulous support and all sorts of webinars and secondary coaching and consulting. It’s truly amazing how big this market sector has become and it’s reflected in the quality of the products.
So far I’m preferring FormStack just slightly because it can connect to WebMerge, which is really cool tech that enables multiple groups to work on a the same document. In other words pass information to be completed by another authorized user, for example a bank or grocery store.
The sophistication involved Aweber and MailChimp is already amazing but when you add FormStack with Webmerge, or NinjaForms with their partners for the same systems, what you have is the capabilities of a giant institution, or tech giant, in your hands, for under $100 per month.
Today my story is all about the imagination and how to find that spark. found both of these two photos in the search term “bursting”. I’ve been so inspired lately and such incredible things have fallen into alignment, the circumstances of my life find me in the most amazing moment. Ignition!
By good old hard work and constant persistence, if one project went sour there were three more on the simmer. A few of my deals have been on the burner for years and involved expensive reconnaissance and several false-starts, as well as unplanned legal fees.
So the story begins over a year ago when I meet a man seeking half a billion dollars to build indoor vertical gardening. It seemed like a reasonable idea to me so a passed the project forward to a consultant for a China construction company, they call it ‘modern gardening’ and said yes, sure we’ll be your partners, under a few conditions. For example the labour can come from local but the engineering and procurement of steel and heavy industrial parts and power grid components must come from China.
Turns out that engineers from China have already constructed every type of vertical garden, or aquaculture farm, with luxury hotels even, build over top of protected reefs. There’s a new revolution in eco construction where the engineers are beginning to understand how to reduce impact of development and still re-claim giant swaths of land from the swamps of mangroves or even from the sea.
Finally the minds of man are catching on to how to have luxury comfort and service of urban living, while preserving the natural beauty and not destroying the environment to achieve the a mix of multi-use, multi-function and most importantly grown food and host green area in as much space as possible.
An industry blooming to refurb white-elephant shopping malls into Agriplex Gro-Malls to raise fish and grow food
The malls of the future will become hi-tech grow-ops where everything you can think of to eat will be grown under the same roof, or sourced within local proximity. The blending of hi-tech and IoT will manifest new mix of vertical-farming and consumer interaction in a new mall type of a setting. The mall of the future is happening.
it all started with a spark of an idea, added to another and then another, then refined by teams of experts in a dozen different departments of an enormous connected, hence plex, multi-functional, indoor agriculture systems embedded into the building providing interactive, personalized entertainment and social interactions. Just like the Jetson’s except no flying cars.
More to come about the spark of an idea that ignited a shift in culture and the details of the man behind it all. Stayed tuned and thanks for reading.
Before you can develop proof of concept you need to have a business plan, a dream, a passion, time money and ambition. It’s often compared to climbing Mt. Everest but I promise you it’s much harder and many more people have made the trek and everybody starts at the bottom.
Over a decade ago I was a student and member of the record setting success of Rich Schefren and his launch of Strategic Profits, which all started with the single best piece of free information ever given to the public about how to operate a business online, the Internet Business Manifesto. The manifesto is such valuable knowledge that it’s required reading for anyone in business.
According to Rich Schefren, unless you have more money in the bank at the end of the week, than at the beginning, you are not in business. Cash flow is the blood of business, with positive cash flow you have proof of concept. If your enterprise has negative cash flow your business is on life support and someone needs to invest money into your company to keep it alive.
The very best Business Model development school is the 4 Week MBA where any company that has gained proof of concept, to any notable degree and all those that have set records, the business model of one and all is laid bare, defined, explained, itemized and analyzed to provide the student the ingredients to the most successful cakes that have ever been baked.
At the end of the day, the primary factor for success remains the same as the late great Napoleon Hill told us some eighty years ago, in his amazing book “Think and Grow Rich” where the key is to find a problem and solve it.
Think and Grow Rich was written by Napoleon Hill in 1937
While the book’s title and much of the writing concerns increasing income, the author insists that his philosophy can help people succeed in any line of work, to do and be anything they can imagine. First published during the Great Depression, the book sold more than 20 million copies by Hill’s death in 1970. By 2015, more than 100 million copies had been sold worldwide.
It remains the biggest seller of Napoleon Hill’s books. BusinessWeek magazine’s Best-Seller List ranked it the sixth best-selling paperback business book 70 years after it was published. Think and Grow Rich is listed in John C. Maxwell‘s A Lifetime “Must Read” Books List.
Content
Think and Grow Rich is based on Hill’s earlier work The Law of Success, said to be the result of more than twenty years of study of many individuals who had amassed personal fortunes.
Hill studied their habits and drew some 16 “laws” to be applied to achieve success. Think and Grow Rich condenses them, providing the reader with 13 principles in the form of a “Philosophy of Achievement”. The book asserts that desire, faith, and persistence can propel one to great heights if one can suppress negative thoughts and focus on long-term goals.
The 13 “steps” listed in the book are:
Desire
Faith
Autosuggestion
Specialized Knowledge
Imagination
Organized Planning
Decision
Persistence
Power of the Master Mind
The Mystery of Sex Transmutation
The Subconscious Mind
The Brain
The Sixth Sense
In this article I’ve provided three sources of knowledge to obtain, if you want to know how to Develop Proof of Concept but in the begging of this I compared Business Development to climbing Mt. Everest where there’s a few important take-away ideas, like the imagination it takes to want to climb a mountain (how could that be fun?), consider the determination it must take, just to get to the base-camp? Recognize the commitment it takes once you start trekking towards the top…. there’s no turning back…. now you really ask yourself if you had prepared the best you could, if you have good team members and even whether or not you are on the right path.
For some of us, there is no choice but to make the trek again and again until we make it to the top because we know that it’s the most rewarding mission you can take and the only path towards freedom from having to exchange the hours of your life for enough money to keep planning for the next climb but as you get older you know how tough it gets in bad weather and there’s no room for mistakes anymore. You must be prepared.
What’s at the peak and why this obsession? Once a business make’s it past launch of a start-up and with good planning and business launch formula a company will next experience rapid-growth, which is like the hardest and most dangerous part of the climb and many businesses fail from their own success and implode for various reasons but the next phase is called stability and that’s the summit. You can now plant your flag and sell your company to prepare for your next climb. – The end.
Being a creator sounds so God-like, of course I want to be a creator. Ever since I first saw the Interwebs I wanted to create some and there only ever been one way to learn how. Then Youtube became the craze, now the norm and 7 years ago I embarked on video creation. This is my calling, I love it! Please consider making a contribution and Become a Patron!
A Course in Miracles, of which I am a student, suggests that teaching and learning are the same thing, plus that everyone has a ministry to manage, whether you want to look at it that way, or use that term, the point I’m making is that for me to help make the world a better place, I have to make myself better and bring my best. I overcame my apathy, now I want to create.
My writing has been getting more fluid and natural, I’m beginning to enjoy reading some of what I write. My objective with this blog was to write every day, no-matter how bad or boring because I can come back later (often do). The first key to writing is to write.
They teach that you should write what you know about, so I often talk about my past, which benefits in my own atonement, also an ACIM concept and the underlying truth in happiness is connected to forgiveness, therefore we can release self-grievances by confessing something in writing and then forgive yourself. Hope I don’t offend anyone with my candor but it’s all part of a process.
I’ve become very dedicate to spiritual practice and ask for my daily bread, which in a metaphorical manner was an awesome synchronicity today, that in a video I produced today, when I was closing the dialog remembered to mention that Great Britain had a new prime minister, whom I like, named Boris Johnson, or BoJo as we all know. Anyway, I said “congratulations, please lead us to the promised land (meaning Brexit) but those words came out of my mouth.
About an hour later I was reading a brilliant, formerly unpublished manuscript, actually the memoirs of Dr. Nicolas Kimaze and he made a statement that Lebanon is mentioned 71 times in the Bible and in modern history how desecrated it had been and then this wonderful bread crumb….
The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
Psalm 92:12 King James Version (KJV)
Living the life of a Creator, an online content creator, it’s not quite as heavenly as it sounds because it takes so long to learn how to do technical things and in order to get good we must first suck and someone like you has to endure our bad creation. The encouragement of someone reading and liking something is incredible and when someone becomes a patron it’s like you’ve won an Academy Award.
Today I became an official content creator at Patreon.
