Lieder first made the connection between Nibiru and her Planet X on her site in 1996 ("Planet X does exist, and it is the 12th Planet, one and the same."). These beings, which Sitchin identified with the Annunaki of Sumerian myth, would become humanity's first gods. According to Sitchin's interpretation of Babylonian religious texts, which contradicts conclusions reached by credited scholars on the subject, a giant planet (called Nibiru or Marduk) passes by Earth every 3,600 years and allows its sentient inhabitants to interact with humanity. Zecharia Sitchin and SumerĪlthough Lieder originally referred to the object as "Planet X", it has become deeply associated with Nibiru, a planet from the works of ancient astronaut proponent Zecharia Sitchin, particularly his book The 12th Planet. Several writers have published books connecting the encounter with 2012. This date has gathered many apocalyptic associations, as it is the end of the current cycle ( baktun) in the long count in the Mayan calendar. Many Internet sites continue to proclaim that Lieder's object is en route to Earth, often citing its arrival date as December, 2012. to fool the establishment," and said that to disclose the true date would give those in power enough time to declare martial law and trap people in cities during the shift, leading to their deaths. After the 2003 date passed without incident, Lieder said that it was merely a "White Lie . When asked if she had done so, she replied that she had, and that "The puppies are in a happy place." She also advised that "A dog makes a good meal". Roughly a week before the supposed arrival of Planet X, Lieder appeared on KROQ-FM radio in Los Angeles, and advised listeners to put their pets down in anticipation of the event. A Japanese cult called the Pana Wave Laboratory, which blocked off roads and rivers with white cloths to protect itself from electromagnetic attacks, also warned that the world would end in May 2003 after the approach of a tenth planet. Lieder would later accuse him of being a confidence trickster. Īfter Lieder, the first person to propagate her Planet X idea was Mark Hazlewood, a former member of the ZetaTalk community, who in 2001 published a book titled Blindsided: Planet X Passes in 2003. ![]() This in turn would disrupt the Earth's magnetic core and lead to subsequent displacement of the Earth's crust. This would be followed by the Earth's pole destabilising in a pole shift (a physical pole shift, with the Earth's pole physically moving, rather than a geomagnetic reversal) caused by magnetic attraction between the Earth's core and the magnetism of the passing planet. Lieder described Planet X as roughly four times the size of the Earth, and said that its closest approach would occur on May 27, 2003, resulting in the Earth's rotation ceasing for exactly 5.9 terrestrial days. Her claims eventually made the New York Times. After Hale-Bopp's perihelion revealed it as one of the brightest and longest-observed comets of the last century, Lieder removed the first two sentences of her initial statement from her site, though they can still be found in Google's archives. Hale-Bopp is nothing more than a distant star, and will draw no closer." She claimed that the Hale-Bopp story was manufactured to distract people from the imminent arrival of a large planetary object, "Planet X", which would soon pass by Earth and destroy civilization. It is a fraud, perpetrated by those who would have the teeming masses quiescent until it is too late. She stated, speaking as the Zetas, that "The Hale-Bopp comet does not exist. Lieder first came to public attention on Internet newsgroups during the build-up to Comet Hale–Bopp's 1997 perihelion. ![]() In 1995, she founded the website ZetaTalk to disseminate her ideas. The idea of the Nibiru encounter originated with Nancy Lieder, a Wisconsin woman who claims that as a girl she was contacted by gray extraterrestrials called Zetas, who implanted a communications device in her brain.

![]() With respect to molecular diffusion, dispersion occurs as a result of an unequal concentration of the introduced material throughout the bulk medium. This process is facilitated by molecular diffusion and convection. Also, the sudden appearance of conductivity in a system of a dispersed conductive phase in an insulating matrix has been explained.ĭispersion is a process by which (in the case of solid dispersing in a liquid) agglomerated particles are separated from each other, and a new interface between the inner surface of the liquid dispersion medium and the surface of the dispersed particles is generated. This is the reason why some liquid dispersions turn to become gels or even solid at a concentration of a dispersed phase above a critical concentration (which is dependent on particle size and interfacial tension). Both surfaces have to be created (which requires a huge amount of energy), and the interfacial tension (difference of surface tension) is not compensating the energy input, if at all.Įxperimental evidence suggests dispersions have a structure very much different from any kind of statistical distribution (which would be characteristics for a system in thermodynamic equilibrium), but in contrast display structures similar to self-organisation, which can be described by non-equilibrium thermodynamics. To understand the formation and properties of such dispersions (incl emulsions), it must be considered that the dispersed phase exhibits a "surface", which is covered ("wet") by a different "surface" that, hence, are forming an interface (chemistry). In the following, only such dispersions with a dispersed phase diameter of less than 1 µm will be discussed. There are only very few studies about the structure of dispersions (emulsions), although they are plentiful in type and in use all over the world in innumerable applications (see below). However, percolation theory can be applied only if the system it should describe is in or close to thermodynamic equilibrium. Therefore, for dispersions, usually percolation theory is assumed to appropriately describe their properties. In general, dispersions of particles sufficiently large for sedimentation are called suspensions, while those of smaller particles are called colloids and solutions.ĭispersions do not display any structure i.e., the particles (or in case of emulsions: droplets) dispersed in the liquid or solid matrix (the "dispersion medium") are assumed to be statistically distributed. The two phases may be in the same or different states of matter.ĭispersions are classified in a number of different ways, including how large the particles are in relation to the particles of the continuous phase, whether or not precipitation occurs, and the presence of Brownian motion. Ī dispersion is a system in which distributed particles of one material are dispersed in a continuous phase of another material. Note 1: Modification of definition in ref. ![]() Get your taste buds ready for some fun!ĭon't forget to try out the activities featured in our STEAM Activity Chart to extend your knowledge about emulsions.Material comprising more than one phase where at least one of the phases consists of finely divided phase domains, often in the colloidal size range, dispersed throughout a continuous phase. Let's explore both temporary and permanent emulsions and how they can enhance simple Asian recipes. Dressings that use eggs or dairy products as a base, such as ranch, Caesar or blue cheese, are permanent emulsions that do not need shaking before use. Simple dressings that are made from oil, water and seasonings are temporary emulsions, which is why they must be given a good shake before using so that the ingredients mix together. The most common emulsions are salad dressings. Creating recipes through this method is called a permanent emulsion because the ingredients come together and do not separate. They help the two liquids get along better. Egg yolks, mustard, and honey are examples of emulsifiers. You can also add another ingredient called an emulsifier before you mix. A temporary emulsion is a blending of ingredients that eventually separate. ![]() This breaks the water into teeny tiny droplets that get suspended within the oil, this is known as a temporary emulsion. In cooking, you can just mix the liquids together really well through whisking, blending, or strong shaking. Emulsion is a science term for a combination of two liquids that do not usually mix, such as oil and water. ![]() ![]() “1794 is the year they say, ‘We’ll start the dollar coin, the linchpin of the system.’ Because our system is built on the dollar, and then multiples of the dollar, and then fractions of the dollar.” Let’s get them out to senators, congressmen, and other VIPs, to show them the Mint is moving forward,’” Mudd tells Atlas Obscura’s Isaac Schultz. “The reason for producing these was to say, ‘We can do this.

Spotted or banded with white, yellow, brown or red. Quartz-often infused with iron and inclusions of organic material and mineral oxides, which determine the color, pattern and appearance of the stone. Jasper is found all over the world including deposits in the United States, Egypt, Brazil, Australia, India, Canada, Russia, Uruguay, Madagascar and Kazakhstan. It is primarily deep red-veined or patterned with brown, black and beige-and sometimes has clear crystal inclusions. Like agate, the wide selection of jaspers include a range of trade names and classifications that are used by jewelry makers and collectors.īrecciated jasper contains hematite, an iron compound, which gives it both its red tones and the dark bands. Different types of jasper display different lusters. This stone is opaque, even in thin slices, and takes a high polish. Uniformly colored jasper is uncommon but not unheard of usually jasper is multicolored, spotted or banded. Brecciated Jasper Geological Properties Jasper is a variety of quartz that may contain up to 20 percent foreign materials or inclusions, including organic material and mineral oxides, which determine the color, pattern and appearance of the stone. Jaspers in general have been viewed as symbolizing the variety that is the Earth, and all the balance and grounding that implies. The uplifting stone may help to increase organization and decrease stress. In the fourth century, jasper was called "the great rain bringer." Medicinal values attributed to jasper include an ability to strengthen the stomach and provide cures to gynecological issues.īrecciated jasper is also thought to provide mental clarity and focus to its wearer. Legend has it that jasper would drive away evil spirits and protect against snake and spider bites. Brecciated Jasper Metaphysical Properties Jasper was popular in the ancient world for its medicinal and spiritual values, and has been used for centuries by cultures around the world for its unique properties. Brecciated jasper is made when the earth melds sharp-angled fragments of stone together, just like a hearty stew includes carrots, potatoes, onions and other chunks in a lentils base. "Brecciated" comes from "breccia"-a geology term used to identify rock composed of broken fragments cemented together into a fine-grained matrix. Some Native American tribes used jasper to dowse for water and to call rain. ![]() Jasper was the 12th stone in the breastplate of the Hebrew High Priest, and is said to be the foundation stone of New Jerusalem. The Minoans of Crete carved seals for the palace of Knossos of jasper. Jaspers were worn by Egyptian priests in amulets covered with inscriptions from their Book of the Dead and wrapped up with mummies for protection in the afterlife. Brecciated Jasper History The word "jasper" is derived from the Greek word iaspi meaning "spotted stone," related to the Hebrew jashpeh and the ancient Assyrian word ashpu. ![]() Essentially a caffè latte with emphasis on the caffè.

That means this drink is mostly make up of one element, Espresso, with just a splash of another, steamed milk. The word “macchiato” is an English word shortened for the Italian Caffé Macchiato, which means “marked” or “stained”. The traditional Macchiato is a layered coffee drink with a somewhat strong espresso flavor. Mochas celebrate the flavors of chocolate and coffee together, making them quite a bit sweeter and toning down the intense flavor of espresso. Macchiatos have a strong espresso flavor with the addition of creaminess from the milk. If you’re ordering in Perth though, you’ll most likely get a double shot of espresso with the glass filled with textured milk. What is long macchiato?Ī traditional long macchiato is a double shot of espresso with a dash of textured milk and most of the glass left empty. ![]() It’s also much smaller than other drinks, with a standard serving clocking in at just 1 1/4 ounces (37 ml). Is a macchiato stronger than coffee?īecause the macchiato is usually made using just a small amount of milk, it has a much stronger flavor than other coffee drinks. ![]() Your barista might ask if that’s for here or to go. You can simply order the drink by asking for a macchiato or an espresso macchiato. How do you order a macchiato? Most shops dedicated to serving specialty coffee will know what a macchiato is. If they don’t have any syrup in them, which traditional ones don’t, they’ll be less sweet unless sweetener is added in some way. Speaking of tradition, the sweetness of macchiatos depends partly on how traditionally they’re made. Technically the name Macchiato Freddo (“Marked Cold”) is used for the cold Macchiato while Macchiato Caldo (“Marked Hot”) is used for the hot Macchiato. While some people prefer cold milk when making their Macchiato, more typically it is steamed and frothed hot milk that is used. McDonald’s is a massive worldwide fast-food franchise, and the McCafe is the McDonald’s menu offering various types of cafe-style drinks such as espresso drinks, iced coffees, blended coffee drinks, and more.

If you can’t find hazelnuts at all, the spread can be made with almonds instead. Feel free to sub unsalted roasted hazelnuts and skip the roasting step in the recipe instructions below. I’ve also seen them sold in bags at Costco. The hazelnuts: Look for raw hazelnuts in the bulk aisle of health food stores or online. I haven’t tried sweetening the Nutella with stevia or allulose, so feel free to experiment and be sure to report back with results if you do. The low carb version will have just 0.1 net carbs per serving. Liquid sweeteners like pure maple syrup, agave, honey, or date syrup also work but will yield a much less creamy and spreadable result.įor a low carb or keto Nutella recipe: Simply use a sugar free sweetener such as xylitol or erythritol instead of the sugar. The sweetener: Use your favorite all purpose sweetener, such as date sugar, regular granulated sugar, or coconut sugar. Making your own hazelnut spread at home saves money, and you get to control exactly what ingredients to use.įor the milk: If you choose a nondairy milk such as almondmilk or coconut milk, the recipe can be naturally dairy free, gluten free, egg free, and soy free. Vegan Nutella or gianduja brands, including Justin’s or Nutiva, do now exist, but buying them can get expensive. I gave up eating Nutella upon going vegan years ago. ![]() In predicting a stock's future price performance, it's crucial to determine whether its current price correctly reflects the intrinsic value of the underlying business and the company's growth prospects.Ĭomparing the current value of a company's valuation multiples, such as its price-to-earnings (P/E), price-to-sales (P/S), and price-to-cash flow (P/CF), to its own historical values helps ascertain whether its stock is fairly valued, overvalued, or undervalued, whereas comparing the company relative to its peers on these parameters gives a good sense of how reasonable its stock price is.

ClutchĪside from moving the shift lever, you also need to use the clutch when you are changing gears on a motorcycle. To upshift, you need to tap down on the heel portion, and to downshift, you need to tap on the toe portion. In some racing bikes, you will find a heel-toe shifter that looks like a reverse toe shifter. Since this is a lever that is worked by the front of your foot, it is known as a toe shifter. Every shift in gear will be accompanied by a small click which can help you identify if the gear has been correctly shifted. To reach a lower gear, you need to press the lever down, and to reach a higher gear, you need to move the lever up with your foot. Motorcycles are equipped with a sequential gear, with the first gear positioned at the very bottom, the neutral above that, and the second, third, fourth, fifth, and the sixth (if there is a sixth gear) above that.
