TASHAH CLAYMORE INTERVIEW

Tashah Claymore from Twitter here! These are my answers to your interview questions.

Q: What inspired you?
A: My first inspiration came from J. R. R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. Other inspirations typically come from other things I have been watching/reading. Sometimes ideas come from nowhere.

Q: What are your aims?
A: With my writing I hope to inspire someone to live a better life. In my opinion, there are a lot of books out there that do not set good examples for people to follow. I am Roman Catholic, and I could write Catholic books, but most people who aren't Catholic would not read them. I want to have my protagonists be good and virtuous people who have to pay for their mistakes and don't take death and whatnot for granted. Fantasy is loved by most everyone, and I want to reach as many people as possible. I hope that my characters show my readers what it really means to live, even in our non-fantasy world.

Q: What plans do you have for the future?
A: In the future I hope I can be only an author, without the need of a second job to support myself and any family I might have. My dream is to live alone in the Colorado mountains and write. As the years go by and I get older, I might switch the wanting to be alone part, but I will never want to live anywhere other than the Colorado mountains.

ANN JONES OF ANN JONES BOOKS INTERVIEW

Hey Mark “Ghostman”

 

I was inspired by my Mother.  Suspense if first for me. My Mom had me hooked on legal suspense novels from a young age. There wasn't a lot of romance in those books. My books tend to lean towards crime and solving cases. I do like to sprinkle in romance, the whisper of a kiss to come 💖

 

My aim is to try to give readers a book anyone can read with out blushing.  A book that provides an escape from daily life to a world of suspense and a bit of romance.   I  

 

 

I plan to keep writing as long as I can.  To learn everyday what readers like and don’t like.  To improve my skills and write a best seller someday 😊

ANDY MCGRATH -BEASTS OF BRITAIN INTERVIEW

Hey Mark, 

cheers for the interview invite. Here's my blurb in line with the questions you asked. please let me know if you need anything else.

Andy :)


What inspired me?

 

I cannot remember a time when I wasn't into tales of strange or unknown cryptids and OOPAs (Out of Place Animals). As a child growing up in the late 70's and early 80's. I remember being fascinated with television shows like 'In search of ...' with Leonard Nimoy and 'Arthur C Clarke's, Mysterious World' and that I was especially interested in their episodes on lake and sea monsters, Bigfoot and living dinosaurs.

 

I started taking note of sightings, photo and film evidence from age around age 12, but I didn't really take any of it seriously until December of 1999. I was then 23 years of age and had been staying near the Preseli Mountains in Pembrokeshire, Wales, with the family of my then girlfriend. A friend of her family who was also staying, was a bit of a heavy smoker and had gone out on to the patio one morning at 5am for a smoke. As she sat down and lit her cigarette she was shocked to see a large panther staring at her, too scared to even move she sat motionless, until after around 20 seconds, the panther turned and quietly melted away into the darkness. Later that day as she recounted her story, the sister of my then girlfriend also confessed that she had seen a similar animals whilst riding across the mountain a year or two earlier. In fact it was admitted that the presence of these out of place animals was well known amongst the local population and the owners of the property even claimed to have previously owned 2 lamas which had been injured by some unknown creature that left 4 inch claw marks on their necks and flanks. From this moment i was hooked, and i got my introduction to the Beasts of Britain, in the form of the Alien Big Cats or British Big Cats as they are sometimes known that have been seen by hundreds of people all across the country for many years now. For years after this I kept my eye out for sightings and newspaper stories in the press and was also fortunate to incidentally meet a few other people who had had close encounters with these exotic predatory big cats, in Britain.

 

This research inevitably led on to other commonplace cryptids like Nessie and Morgawr, The Owlman, Pterosaurs and the British Bigfoot et al.  It was my research into these familiar faces of cryptozoology for example, that revealed to me a much larger cache of modern day lake and sea monster sightings, which seem to show a much wider dispersion of these 'prehistoric' cryptids around the British Isles (yes, i think they're plesiosaurs BTW ) and to my mind a transient or roaming population of ocean migrants who inhabit our inshore waters and lakes from time to time, (that's not to say that there aren't any resident monsters as well, no reason we cant have both), most likely following salmon or eels into places like Loch Ness, Lake Windermere or up the River Thames, as in the case of 'Tamsin' the River Thames Monster that was allegedly filmed on 3 separate occasions between March to April of 2016 and incidentally around the time of an eel migration. My research also led me to connect with many experienced researchers and authors of British Cryptids and i feel that I have been enabled to learn so much from the endeavours of these true cryptozoologists, who did most of the real research well before our internet age simplified everything.

 

 

What are my aims?

 

I have just finished writing my first book 'Beasts of Britain' due to be published through CFZ Press, which is about the unknown creatures living right under our noses here on this tiny island in the North Atlantic. I felt I wanted to write about British cryptids and OOPAs because it always seemed to me that most of our 'mystery' creatures were overlooked in favour of other, similar animals in more exciting and far away (and therefore more believable) parts of the world. Indeed, many of the modern reports I discovered of Water Monsters, Bigfoot, Mystery Big Cats and U.F.C's (Unidentified Flying Cryptids), were largely dismissed out of hand or used as tongue in cheek newspaper fillers to entertain us. All failed to illicit any serious investigation of these strange sightings. In my book I try to frame a few theories as to what some of these animals might be, and show taht there is a wealth of independent, corroborative reports that back up what some of these brave witnesses are claiming in to see. I also dedicate some space to known animals that are reported, but not yet accepted as being resident in the UK. Britain is largely a rural landscape dottted about with busy towns and cities, for the most part, an island in darkness, i believe we have both the environment to sustain many hidden species, if nocturnal or intelligent and the prey species to support them.

 

What plans do I have for the future?

 

I have written a TV series/documentary under the same name as my book- Beasts of Britain and once the book is released i hope to start pitching it. I kinda had something a little less sensational than Finding Bigfoot & friends and if i get my way, it'll be more of a cross between 'River Monsters' and 'Coast'. I am also involved in some other documentaries, one of which will be filming in the UK in the spring of next year, and I will be giving a few talks on the subject of British Cryptids, starting from this October 22nd at PROBE, who have opened up a section for cryptozoology this year. As far as writing goes, I do have 3 other titles on the burn, 2 of which I have made a start on and another which will be co-written with a well-known Bigfoot researcher.

 

My hope for the time being is to organise some expeditions and put into practice some of my research methods, in the hope of outsmarting some of these hide and seek champions, and collecting some scientific evidence along the way ;)

Angel B. Hakim interview

What inspired you?
My father was a shaman  or a Root Doctor in our home town and as a young girl growing up, I was extremely close with him. His nickname was “Prophet” and he traveled  the USA providing spiritual services to many that were being attacked spiritually by the forces of evil.  His tool of divination was crystal ball and my mother was a spirit medium. I grew up in a household where spirits and spirituality was apart of our normal everyday life. During my youth I answered the call to follow in my dad's footsteps by using my gift of readings spirits to help those who were in search of a spiritual advisor and someone with knowledge of the occult and particularly the Root. I was inspired by his ability to help clients by using his skills and knowledge of herbal concoctions and the occult to fight the forces of evil and  herbs to heal. He was big on being honest in working with people and not taking financial advantage of them. I enjoyed working with my father learning how to properly dress candles, mixed herbs for the spiritual baths, making oils from essential oils  and gris gris bags for  spiritual protection.  I am currently a Master in the art of Tarot and a Master in Reiki.  I am studying to continue to increase my knowledge of other arts in the Occult.

What are your aims?
I am working on providing classes to the public that teach Meditation, Tarot, and Spirituality. I'm currently working on the completion of my Masters of Science in Mental Health Counseling to become a therapist.  I am also growing my spiritual business  which currently services 800 plus clients worldwide
. Providing spiritual services along with spiritual readings is the current direction but I will graduate in August and then move to be trained in being a Platform Medium and connecting with the spirits that have crossed over.

What plans are for the future?
My future plans are to get my brand out there and increase the amount of people that I can provide spiritual counseling along with reconnecting my gift of Mediumship gift that was suppressed after the loss of a sibling many years ago. I want to provide spiritual teaching to all that seek the knowledge.

Angel B. Hakim

Thanks for this opportunity Ghostman, let me know if you need further information.  Be Blessed

Matt Harvey interviewed

What inspired me?

As a child and a teenager I had lots of scary experiences. Shadows would dart around my room as a kid, my pillow was forcefully pulled from my arms as I was trying to sleep, the closet door would open and a man would be in there and as I got into my teens we moved to a house that was way worse. This house is where I got my start into ghost hunting. I seemed to be home alone often. I always had strange scary experiences. Everything from seeing a black hooded figure, cold spots in the middle of summer when it was 80 degrees in the house, having the closet door open on it's own and having something peer out the blinds at me when no one was home and something walking around in the attic. That was the day my girlfriend now my wife said to me ( you can't be afraid of that thing). That is the day I started investigating the house. The more I investigated, the more I was hooked. My wife really was the one who inspired me. 22 years later, I am still investigating the paranormal. 

What are my aims?

My aims are to continue to investigate ghosts / demonic activity in homes and other locations. To continue my research into other paranormal creatures / activity. I want to collect conclusive data that show that they are real. I would also like to expand my research into other things more like UFOs and other phenomenon in the paranormal. 

My plans for the future? 

My plans are to try and do more Bigfoot research, still help those in need with ghosts at there location, continue to search out more new locations to research the paranormal, be it ghosts, UFOs or other cryptozoological creatures and continue to learn and grow as a paranormal investigator. Getting my own show or being able to get a sponsor to help fund my research would be great. 

Thank you for allowing me to answers your questions.

emma adam -interview

http://bigfootcfz.blogspot.co.uk/2016/10/bigfoot-caught-on-camera-does-this.html-    this is a reply from a lady called emma adam  who saw this post and replied in this interview ,thank you emma.                                                                                                                                                                                                       It was Feb 14th 2015 roughly and my sister was stopping over mine she lived in Eastwood in Nottingham so I invited her to stay. She had her dog and I had mine and we put the dogs in the boot of the car ready for a walk. Helen my sister was the driver I was the passenger. We wanted to go somewhere different with the dogs but it was getting very dark so we decided to drive local but somewhere different. We went through countryside roads and back lanes and came across a street which only allows one car to go down at a time with a few pull ins on the way down. As we got near the moon light lit up the road so it was still visible to see to walk the.dogs. Out from the left a man came out with three dogs. He was shining his.tourch and let us drive past him. As we got further up the road. Something else came from the left. It was strange looking very tall. Slight hunch shoulders and looked like when it walked it was either dragging something or its leg was injured. My sister stopped the car in an emergency break and we both said what the fuck is that? It then continued to cross the road and stopped in the middle when my sister pressed her horn on the car. It stopped looked at us from a distance and I told my sister to put the main beam on. We was trying so hard to focus on this creature. Its reflective eyes was glowing at us with the main beam on. I pressed the horn several time to get its attention. Its eyes was like 2 big ones and 4 small ones. Really couldn't understand what we was looking at. My sister was flashing her beam then it started to walk straight across the road into woods at the right. We couldn't turn the car round we had to go past it. I was scared I pressed the central locking system of the car. I quickly when onto the Internet to tell people what we saw to.skeptics sayings red deers stand on two feet. This was no red deer. We searched the area for anything we came across black annis or griffiydam which isn't far. We Google where we was and the road is called limby Hall lane Swannington which is near griffiydam. All which are legends of Leicestershire. We asked people came across this site and told what we saw. I told people got a group we stood in those woods at night two weeks ago with a medium who says there is a portal near by or witch craft or someone did worship the devil. I believe myself it's not a ghost how can two people seem it and also reflective eyes. They were Redish orangish in colour. Glowing in and out like cats eyes. We keep driving down with fail. We used paranormal equipment people said they saw something run fast through the woods but I didn't see that. All the time twigs snapping all around us in the woods when we had the sp11 in there. We still don't know what it was we didn't get any features just outline and glowing eyes. This thing was at least 7ft tall.

Matt cook an interview

What inspired you? I'm interested in a whole range of fortean phenomena. But I became interested in big cats roaming the uk sometime in the 80s when I heard stories of the exmoor beast on the news. I can remember going a school camp as a child in the late 80s on the edge of exmoor and we were regaled with more stories of the cats by our teachers, which but the shit up us kids, I don't mind admitting. Then fast forward a few years to the early 90s, myself and two friends had driven from Bristol over the bridge into Wales as one friend new a farmer just outside of newport and we had his permission to use a bit of his land to mess around with our air rifles, just target shooting and the like.
It was getting on in the day and my two comrades in arms were down on theirs bellies shooting over the brow of a hill, sniper style.  I had decided that I'd had enough of shooting tin cans and I was next to them on the hill but I was on my back facing across a small valley just enjoying the sun. It was then that I noticed a large creature chasing a collie dog around an oak tree in the field opposite.  It took me a moment to realise that I was watching a large black cat chasing the poor dog in circles around the large oak. Now due to the passage of time the details have become a little blurred and I can't remember how long we watched it for. But although it was clear that  we were watching with the naked eye we all got a good look through our rifle scopes. And we all agreed that what we saw was a big cat of the non domestic variety. It carried on chasing the dog for some almost playing with it, then for some reason the cat just seemed to get bored at which point it belted up to the top of the field, through a fence never to be seen by us again.
So this combination of events have stayed with me over the years and the knowledge from my one sighting and of all the research and interviews I've conducted with witnesses over the years has very much inspired me to further my knowledge of creatures I'm sure are out there.
My Aims: Well I go "cating" with a friend of mine, all though I must admit we haven't been out for some time as I've been doing a little travelling, first down under to see family and of course a little yowie hunting and then to canada where I had a little poke around for sasquatch on vancouver island. Ed my cating companion and I have talked at length about our aims, and if we found conclusive proof from video of photographic evidence then we would just sit on it. Our goal is to just sight them and study them. The reason we would keep a lid on it is due to the safety of the animal. The last thing we would want would be some nutter with a gun trying to get a trophy ( as one certain well to do landowner I interviewed in 2014 threatened to do)
Plans for the future: Well I'm still really getting settled back into uk life but I'm hoping to get out after the cats again and hopefully Ed and I can get the trail can up again. We have formulated a pattern of seasonal movements from logging sightings in the Somerset area on a map so it would be nice if we could get real confirmation of this.

Dave Baxter = cauldronfm = an interview

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                What inspired you to set up the radio station?
                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Well that is a difficult question - many things have inspired me to do it. So to be able to answer fully I need to go back in history. I have always been involved with the entertainment industry, from the early age of 5 I was on stage, at 11 I was studying music with the London College of Music. By the age of 15 I was playing in a band, songwriting and had my first song published by a company called Belsize. I continued life as a musician through various ups and downs and eventually set up an artist management company called Westworld  My songwriting consisted of what I would call "normal work" but then I went to Glastonbury and that visit changed my songwriting style and my life forever. During this trip to Glastonbury I met a person who asked me why I had gone to Glastonbury. I could not answer him properly until several days later when I went to the top of the Tor and that revealed to me why I had gone to Glastonbury. From that visit onwards a love affair began and I could not get enough of the place and that love affair continues to this day. During one of my visits in 1989 I did a meditation on the top of the Tor at 5.30am and during that meditation my whole future spread out before me like a roadmap on the satnav. As a result of that meditation I was inspired to write my very first album of instrumental music. In its very rough state I took the basis of that album to a company that was called Pagan Media and they had a record label of the same name. The owner – Steve – really liked what he heard and on the basis of that he offered me a single album deal with an option to extend. We continued to produce the album and although I changed recording studios in mid – stream so to say Pagan Media stuck by their promise and they released the album once it was finished. The album was called Somerset Story and it was only deleted from their catalogue in the USA 3 years ago. During the time we were recording the album I was also working with Halton Borough Council as a freelance consultant to develop a community music project. One part of this project was to set up a community radio station and I was invited to go into the broadcast studio and be interviewed about the album Somerset Story. (The DJ who interviewed me went on to become a senior lecturer at the Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts) As a result of that interview I was offered a presenting post on the next round of broadcasts which were to take place some 6 months later. I was unsure about accepting the offer but I did and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. So I suppose you could say the die was cast and the seed was sown. Lots of things happened with the band and the work I was doing we were scouted by London Records, I became the Musical Director for the Spotlight Theatre Company, worked with a duo, recorded with OMD and much much more. But now the story has to move forwards to my move to Devon and here as part of my work with Westworld I met someone who was to become a long-standing friend of mine. Between us, this person, Tom Armstrong (who wass also a broadcaster) and I worked on books, CDs, advertising, show production and lots more. We had several projects running one of which was a recording studio based in Georgeham and then Braunton.  As part of the studio we set up a video/audio link between control room and recording area. We were also involved with our own theatre and performance training school which was the All-Stars Academy and we put together several productions and as part of that work we recorded the artists in our studio. One of our conversations during these recordings sessions went along the lines of wouldn't it be great if we could broadcast these sessions either on radio or TV? However at that particular time this sort of idea fell at the first hurdle because of the cost and so we continued to work this way until Tom migrated to Lanzarote and I stayed behind with my family. Cutting a long piece of the story out the next major thing that happened with regards to my work in radio was that I was working in a show at the Queens Theatre in Barnstaple when I was interviewed by Lantern Radio as it was then. This interview was with TV presenter, broadcaster and former Bond Girl Jenny Hanley.   From this interview I got a telephone call asking me to attend a meeting I did and the upshot of that meeting was that I had my own radio programme on another radio network. The terms of my engagement with the station were that I was allowed to feature music that I wanted not necessarily what was on the playlist. I negotiated hard for this and told the manager that if he wanted me on his team then he would agree to my terms.  I stayed with that station for two years and during that time I witnessed and was enthralled by the growth of podcasting. I saw podcasting as being "the future" and decided that getting into this method of broadcasting would give me an opportunity to reach a global audience for very little money and also give me total control over what I broadcast. Now that sounds like I'm a control freak but I'm not! It also sounds like I operate from a place of ego and to a certain extent at that point in my life yes I was!  Now however I take on the philosophy of a very highly respected gentlemen Dr Wayne Dyer and his philosophy was and I quote "I like approval I enjoy approval but I don't need approval" So to pick up the story again - from getting the equipment and starting my podcasting I found other people who shared the desire to broadcast their own programs. And so I offered them space on my podcast channel. This podcast and several others that I was doing started to grow in popularity and I then began to look at ways of being able to broadcast a streaming service online rather than having people needing to click to play So I spoke to various people one of whom said I can make that happen for you - and he did! And hence CauldronFM was born alongside Coaching Radio and more lately Capstone Radio However of the three radio channels that I operate only CauldronFM broadcasts 24/7 at the moment What are your aims? Wow another great question.  I suppose that the main aim for the radio side of me is to go onto mainstream broadcasting such as an independent radio station the ethos of that being of course that the programming will still be the same. However mainstream "proper" broadcasting comes with constraints on content so maybe that is simply a flight of fancy.                                                                                                                                                 What plans do you have for the future?                                                                                                 The immediate plan is to obtain a new computer and to link that into my broadcast accounts which will enable me to broadcast Capstone Radio and Coaching Radio on a split daily basis i.e. eight hours devoted to Capstone Radio and four hours to Coaching Radio then 12 hours off air I also want to get back into live broadcasting rather than pre- recorded programmes. There is something very special about doing a live show - you have to think on your feet and I like the buzz that doing that gives me Another thing that I want for CauldronFM and Capstone Radio is to bring more presenters on board so if anyone reading this or listening to it feels that they can become a part of the Moonshadow Media family please get in touch with me What music do you play and do you interview the artists? Ok let's look first at CauldronFM - since this is a pagan orientated service we mostly feature pagan artists or world artists. We are currently play listing are Appalachian prog rock outfit Tuatha Dea; Danish pagan rock band Omnia; American singer songwriter and personal friend Celia Farran and local to N Devon reggae band Malachite Moving over to Capstone Radio the music on there has a more local feel and is currently playing Jess Richards (Bideford); Maggie Davies (Ilfracombe) Dumbos Feather (Exmouth) and Ange Hardy (Williton, Somerset) among others. I often interview the artists about their work and try to get a feel for who they are away from being a performer and touch into their likes and dislikes etc. Probably the three most famous people I have interviewed in the last 12 months are Paul Brett (guitarist with The Strawbs, The Crazy World of Arthur Brown to name but 2) Paul also has a range of signature guitars on sale internationally), The Strawbs were a chart topping band of the 70s with Union Man reaching #2; Tom Newman who produced Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells - the groundbreaking Virgin album of the early 70s. Tom is a multi – platinum producer; and finally actress and TV presenter Jenny Hanley Bond Girl, radio presenter and presenter of the children'

New sun


Mark,
thank you for your interest and willingness to ask about New Sun
What inspired your band and music?
When Doug Erickson and I founded what was to become New Sun in 1991, we both came from the school of odd metered Prog music. Such as King Crimson, Yes, and Rush. Doug was also into the improvisational aspect of people like Michael Brook and Robert Fripp. Chris came from a more accessible aspect with influences such as Blue Oyster Cult and Jethro Tull.
We founded our song writing upon the notion that is should challenge the players and the listeners and make them think a bit.
Chris 'Tru' Trujillo and Alex Kley brought in other elements based around odd metered rhythmical grooves and that changed our focus a bit. To groove and not play in 4/4 meter became a big part of our process.
We all believed in the notion of telling stories both musically and lyrically that were both complex and yet accessible by any listener. And we are not tied to anyone style to achieve that goal.
What are your aims?
To put out what we write, play live when we can and just create. It is something I personally cannot stop or live without. Whether it inspires or reaches listeners is not something we can control. We write music to challenge ourselves as writers and players first. And deliver a story as best we can with lyrics and music all as one touching an emotional nerve. Something we would enjoy listening to.
What plans do you have for the future?
Our 5th album “Transitory” will be released this summer and we plan on getting out and doing some shows on the West Coast of US. If it grows and connects, we’ll look to tour Europe in 2017.
CSC has been writing music for TV/Film for 15 years and would like to expand that as well.
You can find the first singles from that album Slipstream Day and Down By Sea averrable on our website www.new-sun.com
Cheers,
Christopher Scott Cooper

Dean slater interview

What inspired you? inspitration came from my teacher Walt Maurus... I created the frist red, white and blue bettas..they were then sent overseas by my teacher the original name I gave to them was Bicenntenial Bettas but this name somehow got changed to Mascot...Walt also created the worlds first Gold bettas and this was before we had the metallic bettas...my goal is to teach as many people about betta genetics and try to bring back dome of the older strains and  have online shows that promote strain purity, the betta world has suffered greatly because of the satndards some shows have put on them, while on one hand promoting saving the fish on the other hand making sure only a limitied amount of genes are able to be shown thus crushing the gene pool...let me give you an example...in the category they have for black...only the blackest fish should win...there are 4 strains of blck and the only one of those that show the intense black that they want is the Superblack...so..people tend not to breed the other blacks because they can not compete with the superblack...like Black Lace or Black orchid that always shows blue...the melano has suffered for years because of breeding to steel, this was a mistake..Melano should be bred to red or yellow to carry that gene..instead of a fish that is mostly iridecsent. there are many misconceptions I am trying to get people on the right track and getting the overseas breeders involved as well . What are your aims?  I think genetics have also suffered because of misinformation.what are your plans for the future?  The breeding of multi colored fish has also diminished the gene pool as breeders multi colored fish are useless...this is also a big strain on the betta world...and pure strains are geetting harder to find...like Blue without metallic or marble genes the problem is when a new thing comes along people want to breed it into everything thus losing the pure strains/

Julie Be Siew Hoon Storyteller, Quantum Psychologist, Blogger and Empath at MoaM

A Malaysian (where the heck is this Malaysia?) woman who is virtually a nobody went on a journey of self-discovery. She found many many answers to her unending questions when she seeked answers online. The cyber world is her bestest friend, never judging her questions merely accepting it at face value and immediately giving her millions of answers that she could explore. Google is her bestest friend for it did not discriminate that she is just a housewife and that she has a disability (giftedness is a curse and a disability), Google did not condemn her at first sight nor judge her every action. Google became her most trusted friend because Google can take her anywhere on this planet for a brief visit just to pick on someone's(usually an expert in the chosen field) brain. Google did not stereotype this woman for her skin colour, her appearance or her ability to converse fluently in English and other languages. Even though she does not live in a western country nor is she white...she is on par with most white males in terms of her knowledge and her intelligence. This woman noticed when she joined the community called Facebook that users of Facebook are all self-appointed judge and jury with guns blazing at their sides ready to shoot her down if she so much as make a single error. This woman visited many many online churches, synagogues, temples, mosques and holy places hoping against hope to see the face of god or at least experience the love of god. To her utter shock and extreme disappointment , these holy places on Facebook are nothing but a pig sty of mud fights between the self-righteous moron and the idiotic dogmatic who thinks he is above all else. When she called out their prejudice and discrimination, she got banned from these very unholy and such disgusting 'holy places'. The believers in these groups band together and then they stone her to death. They stone her and then they crucify her. They left her body in the town square as a warning to others who may come after her. They call her an abomination. They label her as evil, they told her that she is satan or the devil incarnate. How can people use such language to demean another human? She took all that abuse and it made her soul so so sick. And you would think that these people who sets up these groups to tell others about the love of jesus...these people would understand what love is? Nay...they are the worst kind of self-righteous judges. The worst kind of murderers as they murder people's spirits on Facebook every single day and they quote scriptures while watching you bleed to death. So this woman next visited the Starseed/new age community. Is it any different? Hahahaaaaa....you would think that since they are vibrating at such high frequencies that they would embrace and love her. NO such luck peeps. The starseeds were blinded by her brilliance and because she is not white or european or come from some royal family...they too reject her and what she had to offer from her broken heart ~ AGAPE LOVE. Oh yes...along the way , many many opportunists saw how effective a leader this woman was and how she seemed to have an age old wisdom. They noticed she had multiple accounts and that she had 3 full accounts of 5k each plus 2 smaller ones of about 1k each....so they did the math in their head and then they decide that they will use her. She got added to so many political groups on Facebook. If anyone takes a peek at her info page ...they can see that for themselves. So these politicians ...you know lah...are worse than tiger sharks! She had a blast trolling those though coz the numbskulled neanderthals in these groups deserve a clobber on their heads with her stunning intellect. She finds it so amusing that these men would purposely pick fights with her just so they would get her attention? O boy...just like her sons at home!! The highlight of her political sojourn on Facebook is this: Raja Petra Kamaruddin inboxed her personally to ask for her support to add members to his group. (*gasp* whaaaaaaaaa...) Also, Dato Ti Lian Ker used to goad her in the inbox for his own political gains, I am telling you the truth ..take it or leave it. And of course some of you still remember that young handsome leader of Gerakan who joined PKR after getting to know this woman personally through Facebook. This man and his wife came to meet up with this woman when she was on vacation in KL. Oh yeah...don't forget that old man who also used her to penetrate sarawak politics, always asking her counsel on how to approach sarawakians, no need to mention names lah. That was local Malaysian politics. Outside of Malaysia, this woman has been roped in to campaign aggressively for a candidate in the last presidential elections in the Philippines. Why do you think she used to have a godson who lives in Manila whom she visited for one day and got stuck at the airport? And yes...of course you do not need to mention her minor role in helping to campaign for Obama in his second presidential election. Obama won did he not? As she predicted. Also, she had some powerful politicians and leaders from all over the world in some of her 20 plus groups that she created and admined single-handedly. Now, she is down to 2 groups and she would like to keep it that way. So people of the world...what do you think of this stupid housewife ? Has she spent her time in the best way possible on Facebook to bring real change to this corrupt and sick sick world? Has anything she has ever done on Facebook be a blessing to you? If you are one of her many many enemies who keeps trying to pick her apart...can you please leave her alone to die in peace? That's all. Enjoy your time on Facebook, make sure you keep killing fellow humans with your lopsided and self-righteous view on life, love and reliegion. Thank you for reading, It is very loooooooooooong because I wish it to be. Oh look...no caps??!!!!!!

Nadejda Rozanova, PhD Biochemistry researcher, Reiki Master\Teacher at Healing energies

I have 3 main goals - first present my cancer cure for public ( more about this method see in the articlehttps://www.linkedin.com/pulse/20140626013406-138727290-my-scientific-research-helped-me-to-save-my-cat-from-terminal-cancer?trk=mp-reader-card and in my scientific paper listed in profile). By now my attempts to present it failed, because it is not possible to get funding for cancer cure which is effective and cheap but could not be patented ( it based on natural substances so it could not be patented and big pharma can not benefit from it). But I hope I'll present this cheap, effective cure to the world. This is my plan. Second goal and another side of my cancer research is research of energy healing- see it herehttps://www.linkedin.com/pulse/20140312224018-138727290-reiki-can-treat-cancer-cells?trk=mp-reader-card today energy healing are accepted as healing for side effects of cancer treatment only, but my research show that it can kill cancer cells as well. so I am trying to present this kind of cure to public as well. Inspiration for my research for cancer cure was the death of my mother from cancer. Third goal is to return justice to it's ethical and moral standards. I have litigation process which is about property line ( very small encroachment of part of my parking structure is on the neighbor's property) which is very simple law question. But in the road to solve it I faced the facts that justice system is not standing by it's own ethical standards- for example Code of Conduct for United States Judges Canon 3: A Judge Should Perform the Duties of the Office Fairly, Impartially and Diligently. It means among other things that judge should at least read the pleading papers before rule on it, but in my litigation experience judge can rule without even reading paper and without even knowing who wrote it plaintiffs or defendant and what it is bout. Also one of the law is law about perjury and now it looks like it does not exist anymore: not only litigant can lie even if he signed paper under penalty of perjury but nobody concern about it-no judge nor district attorney . Moreover,even attorney who are officer of court, can lie under penalty of perjury without any consequences. We tried to submit concern about it to Bar association, made motion to court and they all did not find the basic in the lies for attorney disqualification. Though Bar association's ethical codes for attorneys said that even half truth is misconduct.. Thus I was shocked how judicial system works they take our taxes, take the filling fee but did not bother even to read papers- this was my inspiration. And I decided what i will try to do something to change it. it looks like that only people can change it. Because inside the system I do not see any willingness to change this practice of unethical behavior. And though in such small cases as my litigation it could not do big damage, but in bigger cases it can be dramatic. For the purpose to achieve awareness of the public I created the discussion group for self represented litigants who are damaged more by unethical judicial system. After the group will grow I'll try to start crowdfunding effort to help people to get justice and to stop unethical conduct of officers of the court.

Ray Sweeney..the disability karate federation

What inspired you?    Three things: Firstly, I wondered why people were changing as a result of practising karate.  So I looked at all the research.  Then I decided to to move to Spain and use karate as a vehicle to create social change, disadvantaged or living with poverty.  Secondly I discovered that my son has autism. Lastly, when I returned to England 4 years ago I was asked to coach 55 disabled young people in mixed disability groups, one blind, one deaf, one wheelchair user, one autism, one missing limb, one learning disability and I absolutely loved it.  A man came up to me and asked if he could teach alongside me and I of course said no.  he introduced himself, he was Ian Rose Paralympian and Silver medallist in judo.  Ian had his gi with him so we taught side by side and laughed and had fun all day.  At the end, he said, "Forget mainstream - you were born to do this"  So I did..  Finally I guess I just can't stand idly by while there are people who are disabled, disadvantaged or living with poverty.what are  your  aims?
We plan to increase participation for people who are disabled, disadvantaged or living with poverty. We do this all over the country with funding from Sport England.  We offer real coaching qualifications that are properly accredited.  We are now offering apprenticeships and free workplace qualifications as well as free government accredited training opportunities for 16 to 18 year olds.  We are working with the European Commission on communications and creating a greater sense of community for marginalised groups in society. What  plans do you have for the future?  The future?  There is so much to do to make karate into a professionally run sport and martial art where everyone can be equally valued and supported to achieve.  There is so much to do to use karate to change people's lives.
