New video explains the All-New ParaZapper™ MY-3 and its Features. Over 273 Accurate Frequencies in 35 Mode Selections

Para Systems Inc. recently unveiled a new member to its family of zappers, the ParaZapper™ MY-3 model. The new video highlights this zapper which has a total of over 273 frequencies in 35 mode selections with better accuracy.

Pinson, AL, August 16, 2015 - David Etheredge, President Para Systems Inc., described the new MY-3 model as the best zapper available, which delivers leading performance and quality, backed by Current Controlled (CC) technology.

A new customer produced ParaZapper™ MY-3 video explains that in addition to the increased mode selections, the new ParaZapper™ MY-3 model has a superior zapping ability i.e. able to kill microbes. The MY-3 model has a distinct specific frequency feature that allows specific frequencies to run for sufficient time for maximum effect.

"People today expect the best experience from their technology- they are counting on technology to kill parasites and microbes wherever they are," said David Etheredge. "The new ParaZapper™ MY-3 model gives customers the good experience they expect from the best zappers, with performance that allows them zap with more accurate consistency, when they want, in a model they will be proud to own."

The MY-3 model is designed with accurate frequencies utilizing many of Royal Raymond Rife's frequencies and technology that far exceeds the old Hulda Clark and Bob Beck zappers. The accurate frequencies make the micro-controller zappers such as this one to produce better results.

This model employs the constant current or current controlled output technology which is better, safer output that meets Dr. Clark's recommendations. Other cutting edge features found in the Hulda Clark zapper that are not present in other devices in the market include:

Good connection indicators: in this product, the status indicator serves as s good connection indicator with the changing colors without reducing that output.

Larger contacts: this provides a greater amount of electrical signal to produce greater effectiveness than would be achieved with smaller contacts.

"We introduced multiple frequency zappers because they can reach and destroy more organisms, and the MY-3 model is the latest in the market with amazing capabilities in killing microbes" said David.

One of the most popular zappers is the Terminator style zappers and these are very popular for their convenience. According to David Etheredge, "These zappers are limited because of two features. First, these electrodes are only about the size of a penny, which is way too small, causing skin burns, even holes in the skin from usage. Additionally, these electrodes are right next to each other, essentially shorting out much of the signal." People who have tried both zappers, while they still like the convenience of the Terminator, prefer the effectiveness offered by the best ParaZapper products."

The best results come from using a 4 point contact system with one negative contact and 3 positive contacts. In some cases, using this configuration with paddles and pads can almost double effectiveness and satisfaction.

Carmel Valley, California Winery Launches Two New Wines for Charity Benefitting Alzheimer's Drug Discovery Foundation

Jarman Tasting Lounge and Patio Opens in Carmel Valley Wine Tasting and Special Picnic Packages Now Available

Carmel Valley, CA, August 08, 2015 — Carmel Valley's newest winery, Jarman Wines, will introduce two premium varietals to help benefit the Alzheimer's Drug Discovery Foundation (ADDF) and to honor the matriarch of the family whose name graces the wines created for her. In addition, the winery has opened a tasting room in Carmel Valley that offers three levels of wine tasting and three specially themed picnic packages.

To honor her late mother Jarman Fearing Lowder’s memory, Holman Ranch manager and eldest daughter Hunter Lowder took the best hand-selected estate grapes and created two premium varietals—Jarman Chardonnay and Jarman Pinot Noir—with $1 from each bottle sold going to the ADDF.

Jarman Lowder grew up in Chattanooga, Tenn., and lived up to being voted “best all around” in high school. She earned a nursing degree, worked as an R.N. and raised three daughters with her husband, Thomas. An active volunteer, animal lover, athlete and enthusiastic traveler, Jarman wanted to spend her golden years making wine with her husband at Holman Ranch, an idyllic piece of property in Carmel Valley, Ca. they purchased to realize that dream. Tragically, Lowder died in March 2011 at age 60 following a long battle with early-onset Alzheimer's disease.

Holman Ranch and Jarman Wines partnered with the ADDF to support research toward treatments and a cure for Alzheimer’s disease and to celebrate the life of Jarman Lowder. “We wanted to honor her, give back and increase awareness,” said her daughter Hunter. “Everything we do here and the reason all this exists is because of her.”

“We appreciate the generous support of Holman Ranch and the Lowder family,” says Dr. Howard Fillit, founding Executive Director and Chief Science Officer for the ADDF. “And we are proud that 100 percent of every dollar donated through this partnership will go directly to fund drug research for Alzheimer’s disease.” Dr. Fillit knew Jarman Lowder personally and was excited by the opportunity to honor her legacy in such a meaningful way.

About the ADDF
Founded in 1998 by co-chairmen Leonard A. and Ronald S. Lauder, the Alzheimer’s Drug Discovery Foundation is dedicated to rapidly accelerating the discovery of drugs to prevent, treat and cure Alzheimer's disease. It follows a venture philanthropy model, funding promising research in academia and the biotech industry. And it’s the only such charity solely dedicated to funding the development of drugs for Alzheimer’s. Since its founding, the ADDF has awarded more than $70 million to fund over 450 Alzheimer’s drug discovery programs and clinical trials in 18 countries. By supporting innovative research projects around the globe, the ADDF increases the chance of finding a cure.

About Jarman Wines
Jarman’s terroir (a French word that speaks to a wine’s place of origin, its subtle nuances of traceable character, flavor, lineage and integrity) refers to a special place in Carmel Valley—and also to a special woman who inspired a family to bottle the essence of a mother’s spirit. The Jarman label will reflect quality, with only the best local grapes used during an artisanal, small-batch winemaking process. Jarman wine uses only 100 percent estate-grown, organic and certified-sustainable grapes. Aged in French oak barrels, Jarman’s vintages are held in limited supply, and not available anywhere outside their tasting room. The two varietals include:

• The 2013 Jarman Pinot Noir takes on nuances of warm blueberry pie, cloves and cinnamon that mingle in the nose with oak notes from 10 months in the barrel. The mouth-feel is plump and juicy with overtones of cassis and blackberries.

• The 2014 Jarman Chardonnay features floral notes reminiscent of walking by a parfumerie in France — subtle and pleasant with a hint of earthiness. When serving this wine lightly chilled, rich notes of underripe berries and raw honey will waltz across your palate.

To further honor their mother’s memory, the family has opened a special tasting room in Carmel Valley Village (open noon to 5 p.m., Thurs.-Sun.; or by appointment) next to Will’s Fargo Steakhouse + Bar, the restaurant they purchased in 2014. The tastings will feature full-fledged experiences, including tours and wine education, and each will include a food element that complements the wine. The new Jarman tasting room will provide visitors with three unique experiences: Cru Tasting, Premier Cru Experience and the Grand Cru Experience.

Address: 16 W. Carmel Valley Road, Carmel Valley, CA
Website: jarmanwine.com
Phone: 831-298-7300
E-mail: info@jarmanwine.com

Visitors can purchase special picnic packages with three distinct themes from Holman Ranch Tasting Room, Jarman Wines Tasting Lounge and Will’s Fargo Steakhouse + Bar. Themed Picnics include:

• The Ranch Picnic: Club Sandwich, Turkey, Avocado, Mayonnaise, Tomato, Lettuce, Bacon and Provolone Cheese or Vegetable Sandwich with Avocado, Mayonnaise, Tomato, Lettuce, Gruyere.

• The French Picnic: Quiche Lorraine, Saucisson Sec, Cornichon, Moutarde De Dijon, Pate a la Truffe Noir, Fromage D’ Affinois, French Baguette, Beurre Sale, Salade Mesclun and Macaroons with Perrier or Evian Sparkling Water. $30 per person plus service charge and tax.

Test of Tyme, A Development and Construction Consulting Firm, To Hold Free Seminar with +Olive

Test of Tyme, A Development and Construction Consulting Firm, To Hold Free Seminar with +Olive, a sustainable lifestyle boutique in Carmel on Thursday, August 6, 2015: “Stand the Test of Tyme with The Next Generation of Furniture: From Concept to Construction-Cultivating Conscious Consumerism”

Pacific Grove, CA, August 04, 2015 - Founded in 2008, Test of Tyme is an international investment and development company that restores, builds, buys and sells estates in Carmel and Pebble Beach and beyond. It will hold a free seminar, “Stand the Test of Tyme with The Next Generation of Furniture: From Concept to Construction, Cultivating Conscious Consumerism” with a presentation by Don Whitaker of Test of Tyme and Ashley Yeates of +Olive, a sustainable lifestyle boutique, on Thursday, August 6, 2015 from 5:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. The seminar will be held at +Olive, located at 120 Crossroads Boulevard in the Crossroads Shopping Village in Carmel, CA. Refreshments and beverages will be served. Space is limited and RSVPs are mandatory by calling (831) 655-2008 or emailing tot@testoftyme.com.

The presenters, Don Whitaker and Ashley Yeates, will discuss the critical need to support local artisans and American manufacturing. In a recent California Report story on Transpacific Partnership, it showed that there has been a loss of over 432,517 California jobs. In their presentations, Don and Ashley will focus on style, sustainability, craftsmanship, awareness and glamorizing careful consumerism. There will also be live demonstrations of furniture-making by Don Whitaker.

About Manufacturing Job Loss in America:
The reduction of tariffs on foreign goods and/or elimination of import quotas results in the elimination of companies and/or industries whose products are undercut by increases in foreign imports. One of the key factors that determine whether a foreign-made good is cheaper than the domestic good is the cost of labor in the country of origin. Workers losing jobs to imports or plant relocations overseas — and the communities and regions reliant on economic sectors destroyed by such shifts–find their futures uncertain. Even the strongest proponents of “free trade” theory believe in trying to assist these workers and communities to adjust to their altered futures, if for no other reason than to take the edge off of the anger about job-losing trade policies.

About Ashley Yeates
A licensed attorney in Texas, Ashley Yeates left the legal profession to follow a passion for “making things beautiful.” In 2001, Ashley Yeates launched the first of her enterprises — AYI & Associates — a boutique interior design firm. Established in Dallas, Texas, she moved the boutique firm to Carmel, California in 2005 to lead a more organic lifestyle. The move intensified a love for nature and shifted her design style to focus on sustainability and wellness, ultimately resulting in +Olive. A graduate of Southern Methodist University Dedman School of Law, Ashley decided to put her entrepreneurial spirit to work in pursuing a life-long passion for design. Today, her successful endeavors include +Olive, +Olive HC and CUSP.

According to Yeates, “Two of my most memorable childhood realizations are that the world is a big yet reachable place and I can make it better. At school, I used to swing as high as possible on the West Texas playground, looking across the desert horizon, knowing I would go out into the world and make a difference. At home, I ran the pastures in my Wonder Woman outfit feeling capable of anything. After I opened the new AYI & Associates Design Studio inside +Olive, it only seemed appropriate to add a big office swing. Although I retired the super hero suit, I feel empowered when combining the beauty of nature with fabrics and fashion to create a lifestyle line capable of shifting the way we manufacture and consume to preserve and protect the planet.”

Watsonville Based Green Environment Landscape Does More Than Just Design Landscape and Plant Vegetation

One of one of the Few Green-Certified Landscapers in Central California that can virtually assure a savings of 40-50 percent on Water Consumption Using His Certified Green Landscaping Techniques

Watsonville, CA, August 03, 2015 - Francisco Cortes started his business with a passenger car and a shovel. Twenty-eight years later, he's the owner/operator of a thriving green-certified landscape contracting business with nine full-time employees, Green Environment Landscape, Inc.

But Watsonville-based Green Environment Landscape does more than just design landscapes and plant vegetation. Cortes' concept for the business is to incorporate the design and implementation of the entire outdoor landscape of a home or structure, from plants, lighting and waterscapes to patios, decks, stamped and stained concrete, irrigation, drainage and arbors. And do it while saving water and adhering to certified green landscaping techniques.

Green Environment Landscape is one of the few green-certified landscapers in Central California that can virtually assure a savings of 40-50 percent on water consumption. And to accomplish it without having to turn your green yard or garden into a parched desert landscape.

Cortes is able to accomplish this by using biosoils (which require less fertilizer and pesticides, thus reducing water use), innovative irrigation and drainage design, using more drought-resistant native plants, and incorporating various tried and true xeriscaping techniques such as zoning plants and mulching.

“People panic and they kill their plants. They don't know how to manage their landscaping, so they let it die,” said Cortes about the strict water-tightening regulations imposed by the state during this severe drought. “But we can do a lot of things to save water. We can save at least 40 percent, even more. We just have to be more efficient.”

After starting out doing strictly residential landscaping projects, the last several years Cortes and his company have been busy on the commercial end of the business. But Cortes wants to return to his roots, so to speak, get involved in more residential projects and strike a balance between residential and commercial.

Cortes, 56, was born in the state of Jalisco, Mexico, where tequila originated, but moved to the U.S. when he was 18, to work in the fields around Oxnard, in Southern California.

A few years later he saw an opportunity to get our of the fields and work for himself.

“I started with a shovel and my first project was a yard cleanup,” says Cortes, laughing at the thought. “I didn't even have a truck. All I had was a car!”

Thus was born Francisco Landscaping, which mostly focused on yard and garden cleanup, jobs that could be done by one person. Within two years he had his first employee and slightly bigger jobs came along, but the business struggled. Cortes, whose advertising consisted simply of handing out business cards, putting flyers on car windshields and advertising in the local shopper publication, knew he couldn't take on the truly big jobs that could boost his business.

Bigger projects meant more employees, more paperwork, more management and more complex designs and implementing them, something Cortes was not prepared for at this stage in his career.

“If I got a lot of business I wouldn't be able to manage it,” he says candidly. “So I decided to go to college — Cabrillo College (in Aptos, just south of Santa Cruz) — and saw that I had a lot to learn, so I took a lot of classes and attended a lot of seminars.”

But the hard work and long hours paid off. He was able to hire more employees, take on bigger projects and 10 years ago, expanded his offerings to include green landscaping, water-saving measures and what he calls “hardscapes,” the more rigid and permanent parts of a landscaping project.

“I like hardscaping, working on arbors, waterfalls, retaining walls, patios and working with lighting. It's a challenge,” says Cortes, who also changed the name to better reflect what his business offered. He sees landscaping and hardscaping going hand in hand in the ultimate design and success of a project.

After spending half of his life in the landscaping industry, Cortes' motto is simple, but highly effective: “Do the job right the first time. If the client still isn't satisfied, make it right.” Rarely has he had to redo a project.

“If I do a job, there's not going to be any callbacks,” Cortes says with a confidence built on 28 years of hard work and honesty. “If it's not right, no excuses, I'll take care of it. I will make sure the client is satisfied.”

There's nothing more important in business to Cortes than gaining the trust of his client and doing quality work.

Phone:(408) 227-0808

“That's one reason I've been in business so long — trust. They have trust in me,” says the plain-spoken Cortes. “Everyone wants to be successful, but the most important thing in being successful is quality. If you always do quality work, you'll never go out of business.”

Dan Langston Releases His New Book Memoirs of a Billionaire Cab Driver

Dan Langston, the author chosen by Akamai Kane (the billionaire cab driver from the small island of Kiki Loa) to write the life story, just released his new book titled Memoirs of a Billionaire Cab Driver.

Reno, NV, July 25, 2015 - Dan Langston, the author chosen by Akamai Kane (the billionaire cab driver from the small island of Kiki Loa) to write the life story, just released his new book titled Memoirs of a Billionaire Cab Driver. The initial version was released in eBook format to speed it release to market and is currently available on Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com, and other major book resellers’ sites. It is also available at www.billionairecabdriver.com.

Memoirs of a Billionaire cab Driver consists of the secrets Mr. Kane revealed to Mr. Langston about how he became one of the richest men in the world. The story might surprise you as it explains some very simple truths about how easy it is to achieve all of your financial dreams. The secrets are revealed through illustrations of the same forces occurring in nature as Mr Kane shows Mr. Langston around his beautiful island of Kiki Loa in an all-day cab drive.

“I never expected to learn as much as I did from Mr. Kane in such a short period of time”, say Dan Langston. “His knowledge is immense and he presented it to me is a linear, easy to understand format with each concept building on the previous. By the end of just one day, I had an excellent grasp of all he wanted me to learn and that will substantially change how I deal with money for the reminder of my life. I am very excited to share this with my readers.”

Mr. Kane secrets revealed in the book shows us that most of what we are taught and believe about how money works is in fact just the opposite. He also shows us why there is so much financial failure as people try to build a secure financial future and how to overcome the odds and succeed. Then he reveals an easy, step by step process to achieve anything in life you want, with the sky literally being the limit.

If you missed the story several months, on the tiny island of Kiki Loa, a local cab driver named Akamai Kane, wrote a personal check for $15,000,000 to build a water desalinization plant for his fellow islanders. Following that event, investigations revealed that Mr. Kane to be currently worth over $20 billion, making him among the wealthiest men in the world.

Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity Misunderstood

Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity does NOT describe the actual mechanics of the universe! Einstein himself said so. SPACE LATTICE THEORY by Bruce Nappi finally explains why. The entire world of science needs to admit their 100+ year mistake.

Jacksonville, FL, July 20, 2015 - In 1905, Einstein published a paper now called the Special Theory of Relativity. His purpose was to show that the concept, popular at the time, that the speed of light is CONSTANT for EACH OBSERVER, was nonsense. We know this because Einstein repeatedly said so. In fact, according to Auffray, Einstein destroyed his manuscript shortly after his paper appeared in print. But the press, and influential scientists, intent on defending their hasty misinterpretation of the Michelson-Morley experiment, supported the “constancy of light” concept and led the physics community in conforming to it. This mistake has misled science for over 100 years. It requires denying many inconsistencies and creating absurdly complex theories to explain them. How about a 20 dimensional universe, the size of a pinhead, which magically appeared out of nowhere? Space Lattice Theory finally explains many of the puzzles of physics with simple visual explanations and no relativistic handwaving!

So how can Lattice Theory explain what Einstein did not? In Space Lattice Theory, Bruce Nappi provides a theoretical exploration for an entirely new foundation for the universe. This new foundation describes how matter, energy, force at a distance, space and time can be explained by one single principle - the Grand Unification. Nappi, an engineer and Director of the A3 Research Institute, has written a comprehensive and very readable paper that explains the fundamental structure of the universe with a new model that does not require any major changes to the traditional laws of physics. Rather than just providing formulas, Space Lattice Theory explains what causes matter, energy, gravity and electro-magnetics and supports the explanations with graphics that depict the principles involved. It explains the Big Bang, and how it happened in a simple 3-D universe, with no requirement to abandon the conventional concepts of physics. It finally answers puzzles like the particle-wave nature of photons, what causes time, why it always goes forward, and what produces “cause and effect”. But most important, the Theory actually listened to what Einstein said. Einstein presented Relativity as an INDIRECT proof – also known as proof by CONTRADICTION. He wanted to show how bizarre the universe and physics would become if “constant with respect to each observer” was taken as a premise. Unfortunately, nobody got the right message.

Space Lattice Theory starts with the principle that space is actually NOT mostly empty. Instead, it is densely packed with a very small object called an “Aa”. The Aas arrange themselves as a structured Lattice. That is, space is more like a crystal than an empty void. Due to major disruptions that occur periodically over the eons of time, very small defects scientists call “dislocations” occur throughout the lattice. It is these defects that create what we call matter. The major disruptions are what we call Big Bangs! In short, the structure of the universe is exactly opposite of what our intuition tells us: space is solidly packed, and matter is due to voids! Space Lattice Theory explains how matter travels through space, and explains how it converts into energy and back again. To make all of this easy for the non-scientist reader to understand, these explanations are done without mathematical equations. Pictures are provided that show what Aas might actually look like and how they behave. The descriptions explain all the objects and forces in the universe, including what causes forces at a distance like gravity, and nuclear, electric and magnetic fields. And in a real breakthrough, Space Lattice Theory provides a model for Grand Unification, describing how all of these behaviors can be caused by the single principle of the Aa.

Kwame Binea Shakedown to Release

Self-Titled Debut EP on July 16, 2015

New York, NY, July 15, 2015 - Harlem-based roots rock songwriter/singer Kwame Binea, who fronts the Kwame Binea Shakedown, has announced the worldwide digital release of the group's debut and self-titled EP on Tuesday, July 17, 2015 via CDbaby.com and all their major digital distribution partners including iTunes and Amazon.com.

"Kwame Binea Shakedown" features four tracks including the group's first single "Let Go" (released in early April), their most recent single, "Hang On" (released in mid-June) and "Little Lady" and "Waiting," which have never been released. Musically, the EP showcases Binea's "roots rock" lineage, which is a fusion of rhythmic rock n' roll, ample dosages of infectious funk, silky soul, screaming blues and just a smidgeon of reggae and funk.

All the songs were written and produced by Binea and guitarist Justin Wilcox for Binea's indie imprint, Pelopos Entertainment Group. The EP was co-produced by Jerry Ramos and the Shakedown Band. The Shakedown band comprises; Binea on lead vocals, guitarist's Justin Wilcox and Art Vanterpool, drummer Medley Shabazz, bassist Phil Bass, Daron Wright on keyboards, Kengo Yamada and Michael Quigley on saxophone, Brian Varneke on trumpet and guest background vocalist's Dietrice Bolden and Jindai Joseph. The EP was recorded at SST Studios, Kaleidscope Studios and Mercury Studios, all located in New Jersey.

Binea and Wilcox have been intermittingly writing, recording and performing the songs over the past several years. "We've always viewed ourselves primarily as a live band" explained Kwame. "As writers, we're fueled by how our fans and audiences react to our songs. We take that energy and feedback back into the studio and do our best to channel it into the songs we decide to record. This EP means a lot to us because it's driven by all the love and positivity our fans keep giving us. It's our way of expressing our appreciation and thanks for all their inspiration and support," he added.

Binea, grew up splitting time in West London (his birth place) and in his native origins, Ghana. He later moved to Cherry Hill, NJ as a teenager where he started to unearth his artistic aspirations as a burgeoning songwriter/singer/guitarist. While in college he teamed up with guitarist/vocalist Justin Wilcox as a duo, which became the nucleus that spawned the rock/funk collective Kwame Binea Shakedown in Harlem, NY (2011). Over the past several years they have built a legion of loyal fans performing at most of the city's most noted music venues including Joe's Pub, Arlene Grocery, Rockwood Music Hall and Brooklyn Bowl, to name just a few.

Space Lattice Theory a Grand Unification of Physics

Space Lattice Theory presents a radically new theory of the universe that describes how matter, energy, force at a distance, space and time can be explained by one single principle - a Grand Unification. Many cosmic puzzles are finally explained.

Jacksonville, FL, July 12, 2015 - Space Lattice Theory, a scientific paper by Bruce Nappi, presents a radically new theoretical explanation for the foundation of the universe. This new foundation envisions the universe as a densely packed crystal-like Lattice and describes how matter, energy, force at a distance, space and time can be explained by that one single principle - a Grand Unification.

Nappi, an aerospace engineer and Director of the A3 Research Institute, has written a comprehensive paper that proposes a completely new structure for the universe. Rather than being mostly an empty void, the universe is densely packed with one small object called an “Aa”, which forms a crystal-like LATTICE that is infinite in size. Matter and energy move through the Lattice like dislocations and energy move through solid materials. The new model produces behaviors generally consistent with the conventional principles of physics. No complex math is needed to understand them. However, the new theory provides amazingly simple solutions to many of the current big puzzles of physics, and does so without the need to change the traditional laws of physics as current theories do. And, rather than being just a collection of mathematics, Space Lattice Theory explains what causes matter, energy, gravity, electro-magnetics and nuclear forces using simple figures. The paper is written without equations and is easily to read and understand by any reader.

Space Lattice Theory now provides simple but consistent explanations for all the major cosmic and nuclear questions of our time. For example, Big Bangs, which occur repeatedly, unfold in a simple, conventional 3-D universe without the need for singularities or to warp space. Big Bangs are, in fact, just like cosmic “space quakes”. As they open and then collapse, they create dislocations or bubbles in the Space Lattice. These are what we observe as matter. This explains how matter can appear to be created out of nothing, and also why an equal amount of antimatter is not observed. The theory presents new principles for Black Holes, showing why gravity can not exceed specific limits. It also describes how Black Holes convert matter back into natural Space Lattice, thereby reversing the process caused by Big Bangs. The theory suggests that photons play a major role in physics, and shows how they can come to rest, becoming what is called Dark Matter. The theory explains the duality of photons and explains how they convert mass to energy and back again. Using a new model for photons and electromagnetic waves, the microwave background is explained. And a final example, forces at a distance, in the form of gravity, electrostatics, magnetics and the nuclear forces are finally explained with tangible, visualizable principles, all being distinct wave fields in the physical Lattice.

Lattice Theory has profound implications for current research. It suggests that particle accelerator interpretations are very misleading. What we call “sub atomic particles”, for example, are not actually “sub” components of fundamental particles, but rather collision fragments. This is why they can come together, temporarily, into unstable forms with masses much higher than their parents. Lattice Theory would redefine particle accelerator research as new material research. Photons and light are considered distinct in Lattice Theory. By identifying new mechanisms for their energy loss during motion, Red Shift is given a new foundation directly related to distance traveled, independent of Doppler shift. This will force a reanalysis of most cosmic observations. A significant advantage provided by the theory is that most of its principles are directly testable, although requiring development of new types of instruments. The age old debate about the nature of light and the aether has finally been resolved and the misunderstanding of the Special Theory of Relativity that has lasted for so long can finally end.

Rising Super Star Rachel London Drops New Contemporary Pop Hit “Runnin” Now Available on iTunes

Singer-songwriter Rachel London has dropped the essential summer pop anthem with “Runnin.”

Los Angeles, CA, July 02, 2015 - Singer-songwriter Rachel London has dropped the essential summer pop anthem with “Runnin.” Distributed by Sony, produced by Mike Gonsolin and co-written by Nick Nittoli, “Runnin,” will have your pulse racing with its polished unapologetic lyricism and big beats.

Ready to take the pop world by storm, London’s new single is a complete 180 from her previous releases. A dance-heavy, dark, and mature pop song, “Runnin” is both catchy and relatable.

With her powerful vocals, London honestly belts out the whirlwind that is new love and the trials and tribulations of relationships. Listeners are in for the emotional roller coaster ride with perfectly timed unpredictable drops and peaks of aural excellence.

“Start me with a kiss, There’s no stopping this, There’s no stopping this, I can’t get enough … This song is about exploring boundaries, not scorning yourself for desiring passion, figuring out how to let go of "right" and "wrong" as well as communicating that vulnerability is strength.“

"Runnin is a beautiful mix of light and darkness, like a yin and yang making it a perfect representation of Rachel," states co-writer Nick Nittoli.

London is carving out a spot for herself in the music industry and will hope to excite fans with her upcoming EP due out this fall and a brand new music video for “Runnin,” which will be out in July. Both soulful and raw lyricism coupled with contemporary pop sounds, London takes inspiration from growing up on Alanis Morissette and Madonna.

Sweet Honey in the Rock Set for Australian Concert Tour and Headlining Engagement at Festival of Voices July 8-17 2015

SWEET HONEY IN THE ROCK, the Grammy-nominated a cappella ensemble who've built a legacy for merging an inimitable and distinct harmonic vocal blend with a veracious commitment to activism

New York, NY, July 01, 2015 - SWEET HONEY IN THE ROCK, the Grammy-nominated a cappella ensemble who've built a legacy for merging an inimitable and distinct harmonic vocal blend with a veracious commitment to activism, social justice, equality and freedom are returning to Australia for a mini-tour July 8th - July 18th. The tour will be highlighted by their special guest appearance at the 12th Annual Festival of Voices scheduled for July 2-12 in Hobart, Tasmania. The Festival attracts thousands of singers throughout Australia who learn new repertoire and skills, work with exceptional teachers, meet fellow vocalists and choristers and perform at the host venue, the Music Recital Hall in Hobart. Sweet Honey will be hosting workshops from July 8th - 12th. They will headline their own concert at the Music Recital Hall on July 10th and deliver an abbreviated performance with some of featured choir participants as part the Festival's finale concert on July 12th.

Sweet Honey will also perform major concerts at the Princess Theatre in Launceston, Tasmania, July 14th, City Recital Hall in Sydney, July 16th and the Melbourne Recital Hall in Melbourne, July 18th. The ensemble last toured Australia in 2013 which was highlighted by their performance at the internationally renowned Byron Bay Bluesfest.

"We're truly honored and excited to be invited by The Festival Of Voices to share the power of our unique musical offerings and global experience," stated Carol Maillard, one of the group's founding members. "We're looking forward to collaborating with all the choral ensembles in the workshops and performing concerts for our loyal Australian and Aboriginal fans in Hobart, Launceston, Melbourne and Sydney."

Sweet Honey will be jetting to Australia fresh from the recording studio in their home base of Washington, DC. The ensemble has been putting the finishing touches on their first album comprised of primarily original songs since "Go In Grace," (released in 2008 as the soundtrack for the Alvin Ailey Dance Company's 50th Anniversary theatrical piece of the same title). Their new album will also feature several notable cover songs from their live show of which they are recording for the first time. The album is set for release this fall on Appleseed Recordings.

Last month the group completed their fourth international US Embassy tour this year in Swaziland. They were previously invited by the US Embassies in Ethiopia, Peru and Jamaica in February to help them honor and celebrate Black History Month.

They performed several major concerts and contributed to community programs sponsored by the Embassy in each respective country. Last year, Sweet Honey made their premiere US Embassy tour (August 27- 31) as part of the Arts Envoy program to Belize. The Arts Envoy Program is a longstanding outreach program and initiative sponsored by the US State Department.

One of the major highlights of their visit to Swaziland was their debut appearance at the MTN Bushfire Festival (May 29-31) which featured a special collaboration on two songs (one by each artist) with noted songwriter/singer Floewe (real name Fikile Dhladhla) a native of Swaziland. CNN recently noted the Festival is one of the top seven "must attend music festivals" in Africa.

SWEET HONEY IN THE ROCK, which celebrated their 40th Anniversary last year is comprised of vocalist's Louise Robinson, Carol Maillard, Nitanju Bolade Casel, Aisha Kahlil and Shirley Childress (American Sign Language Interpreter). The ensemble also features special guest bassist (acoustic upright and electric bass) Romeir Mendez.
