An alternative take on a recent article appearing on CNN.com entitled,
Police: No indication Oregon boy's disappearance is abduction By
Gabriel Falcon, CNN June 11, 2010 5:24 p.m. EDT.
(CNN) USA - Oregon weeks after the boy disappeared from the school, proof of police of a 7 year old
child, had been removed. He said: "At this stage, but we had taken away from me," Multnomah County Sheriff's sonnet to
another witness told CNN.
"The property is insufficient because a child is a child." However, also warned

Hörmann stepmother was reported missing fourth June after
he was able to return home from school, said authorities. Step-mother in the empty room where she was placed in the class of elementary school to its second kyureneulbogo go according to police, he said.

Something involving the use of Potassium (K), internal damage not easily detected. He seems to have made it home from school and/or was removed from school, whether anyone saw it or admits to it is another story.
Something keyed in on the home 'manual' online and it involves him having run online, and just how far is Stayton, OR from where this little boy 'ditched' school?

A follow-up article by the same Gabriel Falcon (CNN dated 06.15.2010) mentions that authorities are no longer simply treating the case as a missing person and have begun a criminal probe.
There is an area in Oregon closely associated with a recently endangered/extinct species of 'wire lettuce'
Stephanomeria malheurensis, at one time endemic to
southeastern Oregon and known for a single location in Harney County. (That's the only endangered/extinct species site I could readily come up with).
{A July 5, 2010 blurb regarding this case written by newswire staff indicates that Kyron's stepmother is "sick" and re-affirms the need to consider the "seed size" and a secondary reference to the "weight of the particles" is significant since the origin of the particles on the women of the family property near the northwest (apparently these 'particles' are not expected to be found in any amount in the Portland area/Northwest as they are limited to an area in the Southeast/opposite direction) and this means taking a second look at any seeds found in the home or someone's clothing; this supports the initial impression pertaining to the endangered species of wire lettuce with limited range in Harney County Oregon as
Seeds of Stephanomeria malheurensis are about twice the size of seeds from Stephanomeria exigua ssp. coronaria (Gottlieb 1977). It may be possible that this particlular species of wire lettuce can be found at Botanical gardens as well, like the one in Portland where the seeds were first geminated when they were being re-introduced. The plant's preferred habitat:• Tops of broad hills above surrounding flats (Meinke 1982).• Soil derived from volcanic tuff layered with thin crusts of limestone (Meinke 1982).• Associated species include Artemisia tridentata var. wyomingensis, Chrysothamnus viscidiflorus, Elymus cinereus, Bromus tectorum, and Salsola kali (Meinke 1982). }

It's often said
'to err is human...'---ahhh, what luxury to be human! I remember having erred... a long time ago while visiting the largest employer in Malibu far far away I asked, "Why install express-up windows before designing and installing sensors to trigger power-reversal in case the unthinkable happens?
And now that we thought of it, shouldn't someone disable them or stop installing them until that gets done?"

"What did she just say?"

Not!)

---so, anyway that's what happened the last time I thought I erred...if I were to believe then that I am seldom in err-or what brave soul wants to prove me wrong so we can all sleep better?
The Science Times article (June 29, 2010) about the Benefits of Day Dreaming mentioned allowing our minds to drift contributes to creativity and prompted 'what do

And I thought why not ask
'what do 3 Sisters, Plants (power, mill, etc.) and Drums have in common?' and get a real return on the mental excercise---why waste brain power?
But maybe there is nothing to help me sleep, any more than to get
Michael to eat or, try as one can, to get

Surah 44 al-Dukhan (Smoke)
لَا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا الْمَوْتَ إِلَّا الْمَوْتَةَ الْأُولَى
وَوَقَاهُمْ عَذَابَ 44:56
44:56 They will not taste Death therein beyond their first death (erstwhile death); and He Preserves them from the Suffering of Hell (the Underworld, Pandemonium).
Reality Check: Is Ellen DeGeneres sui generis when it comes to her generosity toward her mother and does Fran Drescher like to play strip poker but only rarely ever loses a garment?
It is little more than passing interest that this news story by Gabriel Falcon has a reference to Potassium (K) embedded in it, considering that Chapters mentioning Smoke (41
Fussilat and 44
Smoke) each have a verse closely associated with the properties of this element (Group I Alkali Metal); and it is quite by chance that I had started a treatise on this particular topic on June 1, 2010 and had not yet got around to publishing it here.
Chapter 44 Smoke was one of the Chapters not yet cited at
A Page In The Life and I was just getting around to it.
Chapter 44 derives its name from the mention of '
dukhan' which means '
smoke' in Verse 44:10. While the word '
smoke' has several connotations, the basic meaning is a '
vapor' or '
mist' or more precisely
'a cloud of fine particles suspended in gas.'
In chemistry, smoke is produced when gaseous hydrocarbons, raised to a red heat or thereabouts, are mixed with an insufficient amount of air to produce complete combustion and
disengage their carbon in a fine powder, forming smoke.
Surah 44 Dukhan (Smoke)
فَارْتَقِبْ يَوْمَ تَأْتِي السَّمَاء بِدُخَانٍ مُّبِينٍ 44:10
44:10 Look for (watch, observe, survey, scrutinize, beware) a Day a Visible (Obvious, Apparent) Smoke Comes from the Sky.
Sign 44:10 is interesting in the use of the word تَأْتِي "
ta'ti" having the root توي "
tawi" which means '
comes' or '
derives' and also means '
instantaneously'; it can be understood to mean that a visible smoke comes from the sky or derives from the sky itself.
The word مُّبِينٍ '
mubeen' can mean that the smoke is visible, but also that it makes things '
apparent' or '
elucidates'. In addition, the interstitial nature of this smoke is alluded to in the root of the word '
mubeen' which is '
beyn', meaning '
between' or '
midst'.
Depending on which form of the word
mubeen is intended in Sign 44:10, (whether noun, verb, adjective, adverb, or preposition), the Sign conveys
various meanings, among them that the smoke is derived from the sky itself or just comes from the direction of the sky and is sandwiched between other things (between or among something) or it links something (like layers that it is between) and/or that the smoke in some way makes things clear or reveals something as well as itself being visible.
The word '
smoke' seldom occurs in the Quran, the only other passage that I could find that pertains to the Sky and Smoke is Sign 41:11 in
Surah 41 Fussilat (Criterion).
Surah 41 Fussilat (Criterion)
ثُمَّ اسْتَوَى إِلَى السَّمَاء وَهِيَ دُخَانٌ
فَقَالَ لَهَا وَلِلْأَرْضِ اِئْتِيَا طَوْعًا أَوْ كَرْهًا
قَالَتَا أَتَيْنَا طَائِعِينَ 41:11
41:11 Then He (Applied His Design) 'Directed His Attention to the Sky'/'Leveled with the Sky' when she was Smoke; He Said to her and to the Earth, "Come (Derive) Willingly (Voluntarily) Instantaneously or Forcibly (Unwillingly, Reluctantly, Compulsorily)!" They said, "We Come (Derive) Instantaneously Obediently (Malleably, Willingly)."
Sign 41:11 bolsters the understanding of
multiple layers or levels alluded to in Sign 44:10, inferred from the use of the word اسْتَوَى "astawa", and the
inter alia nature of the smoke, that it is somehow associated with
linking or connecting layers it is amongst.
The essential root of the word "
astawa" is ساو "
sawa" which means to
equal,
match, or
'get on the same level with' or
'reach the same rank or status'. The word "
astawa" in the vernacular means to
ripen, mature, become fully developed or evolve; typically it is used to mean having reached a stage ready for harvesting as well as having cognates meaning '
equal' or
'equalize'. In Sign 41:11 contextual inference also holds where "
astawa" means
'direct attention to'.
Arithmetically, the word entails
equivalence; in other words,
'members of a set in reflexive, symmetrical, and transitive relation to each other'; that they
share the same solution, or are
correspondent.
That
God is said to having then
'astawa ila sama wa hiya dukhan' can be understood on all these
multiple levels;
He Directed His Attention to the Sky, or
Reached the Same Level as the Sky when it was Smoke (and since in my understanding
God is Greater than His Creation that would mean He Came Down to the Level of the Sky and not Up); and further to this that
God Became Equivalent to the Sky (not necesarily the Sky itself
per se, but a
Correspondent Entity to the Sky...).
Sign 41:11 continues with
'and He Said (Called on) to her (the Sky) and the Earth 'atati' Willingly/Voluntarily or Unwillingly/Forcibly...'
The imperative
'atati' is given, meaning '
Come!' or '
Derive!' (ie., that the Earth and Sky Come together and/or Derive one from the other) to which the Earth and the Sky '
respond' (here understood to mean '
perform' or
'do as told') "
We 'atati-na' 'ttaw'an".
The manner of formation for the Earth/Sky system is encapsulated in their '
response', also to be understood on a number of levels. Having established the various meanings of
'tati' and its associated root '
tawi', as discussed above, the implication is that the formation of the Earth/Sky system was done
'Instantaneously' .
Further to this, their formation is described by the word طَوْعًا '
ttaw'a' meaning
willing/willingly, the root of which طيع "
ttay'_" indicates that the Earth/Sky system formed in a
'malleable' , 'pliable', 'docile', 'biddable', 'plastic' manner and not in the alternative
unwilling كَرْهًا "
karhan" or
'by force' manner.
This leads to the conclusion that the formation of the Earth and Sky (and by extension, the Universe) from the primordial 'Smoke' was not a 'Big Bang' at all, but something a bit more 'Manageable'.
Malleability is a significant factor in this formation since it is generally associated with metals and and if the Chapter number 41 is taken to be the number of nucleons in an element/isotope, it points to 2 metals that are key players in this Cosmic Dance,
41Ca and
41K.
[For the persnickety set, the words 'plastic' and 'pliable' may also be referring to collisions, deformation, neuroplasticity, warping/bending and phenotype changes--just how far does the rabbit hole go?--as far down as you want to follow it.]
The Calcium (Group II Alkaline Earth Metal) isotope (
41Ca), atomic mass 40.962 (effectively
41), is produced by the neutron activation of (
40Ca) and has received much attention in stellar studies because it decays to
41K (Potassium 41), a critical indicator of solar-system anomalies. The
K line is also associated with Iron (
Fe) in astro-spectroscopy.
Spectral absorption lines in the Sun and stars are identified with individual chemical elements or compounds and the strength of the spectral lines indicates both the amount of the element emitting the line as well as the efficiency of absorption.
While Hydrogen dominates the Sun, it is ionized Calcium's absorption lines that dominate the solar spectrum even though there is
440 x10^3 times as much Hydrogen as Calcium (note the number coded in Sign
44:10; 44 *10=
440). This is because Hydrogen has a low efficiency of absorption while that of ionized Calcium is very high.
The abundances of the atoms can be calculated from the strengths of the absorption lines and the chemical composition of
the outer part of a star can then be ascertained. (Since the Sun is a ball of gas without a well-defined surface, it is the
photosphere that is commonly referred to when speaking of the Sun's outer surface). Relative absorption line strengths can also be used to find temperatures and densities.
Since the verses mentioned here,
44:10,
44:56 and
41:11, all share a common theme (smoke and the formation of Earth and Sky, ie., the Universe) it is acceptable to scrutinize all the numbers encoded by them as a set.
The subset
{54, 56} included in this Chapter:Verse set of numbers pertains to the element Iron (
Fe), another key player in the Cosmic Dance. The
54 is given by Sign 44:10 (
44+10=54) and is associated with the number of nucleons of the second most abundant stable Iron isotope found on Earth, 54Fe, which is radioactive and has a very long half-life (on the order 10^22) and the line number given by Sign 44:56 points to the most abundant stable Iron isotope 56Fe.
The isotope
56Fe is of interest to nuclear and astro physics since it is much more easily produced from lighter nuclei in nuclear reactions and it is
the endpoint of fusion chains inside extremely massive stars which makes it common in the Universe relative to other metals.
Iron's role is also mentioned in:
Surah 57 Iron:
لَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا رُسُلَنَا بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ وَأَنزَلْنَا مَعَهُمُ الْكِتَابَ وَالْمِيزَانَ
لِيَقُومَ النَّاسُ بِالْقِسْطِ وَأَنزَلْنَا الْحَدِيدَ
فِيهِ بَأْسٌ شَدِيدٌ وَمَنَافِعُ لِلنَّاسِ
وَلِيَعْلَمَ اللَّهُ مَن يَنصُرُهُ وَرُسُلَهُ بِالْغَيْبِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَوِيٌّ عَزِيزٌ
57:25
57:25 Thereby We Sent our Messengers Bearing Illuminating Signs and Revealed with them The Book/Scripture and the Measure/Scale whereby Mankind may Gauge/Judge Correctly/Justly and We Revealed/Sent Down Iron, in it Extreme/Intense/Violent Hardiness/Strength and Benefits for Humanity; and such that God Knows who supports Him and His Messengers, Unseen (Faithfully); Truly, God is Mighty, Powerful.
The numeric relationships encoded in these Signs collectively call attention to the connection between
Calcium, Potassium and Iron and their
interwoven roles in the formation of the Universe. A brief rundown of the other numbers comprising the set associated with these Signs and their significance includes:
- 10 --as in Beryillium 10, (10Be) related to cosmic ray flux and indicates that the Sun undergoes prolonged periods of anomalous behavior in addition to its regular 11-year cycle
- 11--Boron 10 and Boron 11, the ratio (11B/10B) of which is used to determine pH in an aqueous environment
- 100 since 44+56=100, the ratio 44/56=79% the percent of Nitrogen (N) in air and 100-79=21 which is about the percent of O2 in air
- 41--41Ca, 41K
- 51--41+10; Radioactive isotope 51Cr used as a tracer in medical studies of blood cells and studying blood flow into and out of a fetus.
- 44-- Isotopes with 44 nucleons 44Cl, 44Ar, 44K, 44Ca, 44Sc, 44Ti, 44V, 44Cr
- 52 since 41+11=52 associated with 52Ca which is a neutron-rich Calcium isotope and Chromium 52, 52Cr, the most abundant Chromium isotope that is also radioactive and has a half-life less than 24 hours.
A relatively recent paper
Fe I and Ca II K Lines in Quiet and Active Regions (of the photosphere) by Kucera, Brcekova, et al., and sponsored by ESA/NASA mentions finding that fluctuations in Fe I spectral absorption lines indicate
changes between quiet and flaring regions of the photosphere and the fluctuations between quiet and plageous regions are small. (A
plage is a bright region in the Sun's
chromosphere, and
plageous regions are typically found near
sunspots).
The authors find a correlation between the Fe I line and its relationship to the Ca II K line that
'there is no coupling between photosphere and chromosphere in quiet regions as there is no reflection of Fe I spectra lines acting in the Ca II K line centers, contrary to that plageous atmosphere is characterized by reaction of Ca II K lines intersecting to changes in Fe I line center ones; the intersections are shifted to higher values'.
(The
chromosphere is a thin layer of the Sun's atmosphere that lies above the
photosphere, and while it is farther away from the Sun's center than the photosphere it is inexplicably much hotter than the photosphere;
spicules are a feature associated with the chromosphere and
the chromosphere is sandwiched between the photosphere and the corona--things to keep in mind when
looking for similars).
The 3933.7Å K and H lines can be used to determine the age of the Universe or the velocity other galaxies are moving away from ours. In each galaxy they are shifted toward a longer (redder) wavelength due to the galaxy's motion away from the Milky Way.
Knowing how much the K and H lines are shifted from a standardized, stationary source can be used to find that galaxy's velocity. These Sign values taken as wavelengths are all shifted longer than the K and H lines if they are understood to be taken as 4410, 4456 and 4111 (Angstroms Å ).
A Purist would be inclined to posit that the significance among these elements and values encoded in these
interralated Signs would be expected to
trickle down or propagate throughout the whole of Creation or reflect something in the nature of how we understand Reality that is worthy of remembering--in other words, they would take a
Top-Down approach to
how the System fits or works together.
In seeing how these elements behave in building the Cosmos it would be of interest to seek correlations of how these same players figure in their role closer to Earth. And, specifically, how everything observed is ultimately for the
Benefit of
Humanity.
In other words, look for similars (
As Above, So Below) in everything and apply it to
improve Mankind's condition (and by the same token, keep in mind that Mankind's key directive is caring for the Earth).
For example, Calcium and Potassium are among the major ions in seawater, noting that Na+, Mg2+, Ca2+, K+, Sr2+, Cl-, SO42- (sulfate), HCO3- (bicarbonate), Br-, B(OH)3 (boric acid), and F- account for almost all of the salt in seawater.
Ratios of major elemental ions remain constant, despite changes in salinity (about 35 g salts/1 litre seawater) and the percent by mass of Ca 0.04% and K 0.04% yield a
Ca:K ratio of 1:1 (0.0102 Ca/ 0.0103 K molal composition (mol/kg)).
While the abundance (that of 41Ca) varies with depth, and in deep Pacific seawater is
440 ppm (the product of Sign 44:10, 44 *10=440)), the abundance of Potassium in seawater, by contrast, does not vary with depth. While both
Calcium and Potassium are merely trace minerals in seawater their Ca:K balance is significant to coral reef health.
Potassium levels are important to good coloration in coral, and
low K levels may lead to washed out coloration/
graying or lead to
stopping coral growth and/or
necrosis.
Calcium provides the basis for
calcification required by corals, mollusks, and algae for a variety of functions, including protection and body support, and it is hypothesized that the process of calcification itself may increase photosynthetic efficiency.
And
calcium and other trace metals (such as Strontium)
precipitate in the same ratios in many different coral species
as the relative concentrations found in bulk seawater (such that the net effect is not readily detectable).
How these metals become incorporated into aragonite skeletons is especially important as the incorporation rate varies in a known fashion with temperature.
Understanding how corals incorporate these metals is an important aspect to exploiting the use of ancient corals as paleothermometers.
Chemical and biological oceanographers frequently analyze nutrient data with respect to the Redfield Ratios to determine which nutrient is the
production-limiting nutrient. While Iron
(Fe) is important in some regions, particularly
open ocean regions distant from land, in
most productive regions the limiting nutrient is either Nitrogen (N) or Phosphorous (P).
And while Calcium, Potassium and other trace metals in seawater contribute to thriving coral reefs, it has been demonstrated that
enriched phosphate levels can significantly inhibit overall coral calcification and thereby
adversely affect coral reef growth.
Correspondent to how the role Ca and K balance (and other trace minerals such as P and Fe, etc) contributes to thriving coral reefs in the Sea, clearly defined levels of
Calcium and Potassium are closely
linked to human health.
Calcium is used for bone formation and
cell signaling and
disturbances in Sodium, Potassium and Calcium levels is typically more serious than for other minerals in humans.
In many ways
coral reefs in the Ocean are analogous to the brain in the Central Nervous System.
And
the manner in which trace metal cations such as Ca and K contribute to the health of the coral in the Ocean is analogous to the brain and its vulnerability to either a deficit or an excess of these trace metals, in effect '...So Below'. And by extension,
a talented spectroscopist may be able to draw some conclusions pertaining to how these same cations Ca and K, including Fe, behave in quiet and 'flaring' areas of the human brain (perhaps the pia mater/arachnoid/dura mater) based on relationships observed in the Sun's photosphere/chromosphere/carona spectral profile for these same elements, to plumb for the 'As Above...' correlation.
In the central nervous system,
metallic cations are involved in
oligodendrocyte maturation (
oligodendrocytes are cells that coat axons in the central nervous system with their cell membrane forming a specialized membrane differentiation called
myelin, which factors in
providing insulation to the axon allowing
electrical signals to propagate more efficiently) and
myelinogenesis (
myelinogenesis is the sequential growth and maturation of
myelin sheaths which enable brain signals (
neural signals) to propagate faster and with less signal loss), and
metallic cations have been
associated with pathogenesis, particularly
multiple sclerosis and malignant gliomas; severe human pathologies as yet without efficient treatments.
Sign
57:25, may apply to these pathologies in that
57Fe is a minor stable Iron isotope which is closely associated with
Mössbauer spectroscopy and the
Iron-dependent enzyme RNR (ribonucleotide reductase is essential for DNA synthesis; or Rest And Relaxation, essential for averting insanity); in which case the
25 may be referring to
25–amino acid hepcidin (hepcidin 25).
Myelin is considered a defining characteristic of the (gnathostome or jawed) vertebrates, and
myelination a key developmental stage in
the human brain (
'white matter'), continuing for at least another 10 to 12 years after birth; the rate of development of these brain structures is linked to the rate of development of related brain functions. And it is this association between
metal cations, myelinogenesis and brain development in vertebrates that distinguishes them from invertebrates (like insects and worms).
The utilization of these cations in vertebrates and invertebrates differs at the most rudimentary levels.
The Ca and K ions diffuse through cell membranes but Fe is relatively insoluble.
Iron and Calcium are required in vast amounts for hemoglobin and bone formation
in humans; this contrasts markedly with
insects that require them in only trace amounts. And phytophagous
insects need relatively large amounts of Potassium and only trace amounts of Sodium, whereas
humans and other vertebrates need these same minerals in reverse order.
Climate changes and
ocean acidification can also affect coral reef health since calcium carbonate (used in calcification) is susceptible to dissolution in acidic conditions.
Foraminifera (or simply, foram) is a type of
plankton that takes up
Boron by accident while building their shells or tests out of calcium carbonate. Depending on how acidic their watery environs (related to
how much CO2 there is in the atmosphere), foraminifera take up different proportions of the two available isotopes
10B and 11B (Boron 10 and Boron 11).
The ratio between the two Boron isotopes
(11B/10B) yields the pH of the water in which the foram live, making them convenient
bioindicators in assessing coastal coral reef health.
Climate changes occur during the Earth's lifecycle, and currently it is widely accepted that such changes have been accelerated due to
increased CO2 in Earth's atmosphere (
greenhouse effect).
There is a less widely accepted school of thought that
changes in Earth's climate are a result of the Solar activity, specifically related to
Sunspots.
Cosmegenic
10Be is produced by cosmic rays in the atmosphere, it has a relatively long half-life (about 1.36 million years) before decaying to
10B, and attaches readily to aerosols which then precipitate into the soil or get snowed out onto ice caps.
The production of 10Be is inversely proportional to Solar activity since the
Solar wind decreases the flux of galactic cosmic rays that reach the Earth. It is assumed that
more sunspots imply a more magnetically active Sun which then more effectively repels the galactic cosmic rays, in turn reducing their production of 10Be isotopes in the Earth's atmosphere.
This means that
variations in the cosmic ray flux is recorded by 10Be in the ice core over time. 10Be isotopes in Greenland and Antarctic ice cores offer just such a terrestrial record of this Solar activity and the
sunspot count can be deduced back to the year 850.
The decrease in Beryllium 10 since 1900 indicates a decrease in the cosmic ray flux over this period and that the
solar magnetic flux has increased by almost a factor of 2 since 1900.
The reasons for this are not fully understood but supports the idea that
the Sun undergoes prolonged periods of anomalous behavior in addition to its regular 11-year cycle.
