Twenty years ago when Margaret Titcomb was finishing her manuscript for this book there was little concern that the oceans of the earth might be endangered. Without doubt contamination of the seas was occurring, but there was no real public awarenessno sense of threat. A deleterious mercury content had not yet been detected in the great billfish and tunas. There were fewer oil despoliations, and the dumping of chemicals and radioactive wastes had not yet reached a level which would, in the next two decades, cause great submarine areas to be laid waste. Nor had commercial fisheries yet developed their omnivorous technical expertise to efficiency levels which, unless curbed, could wipe out whole species. There was another difference. Then, there were “a few Hawaiian fishermen still living who were trained in the Hawaiian knowledge” (p. 54), and who could supplement the prodigious fund of information of Mary Kawena Pukui, with whose collaboration this book was written. Now, as the Hawaiian fishermen pass from the scene, there goes with them much of the ancient lore of the sea. There is today an encouraging awareness on the part of sc...

FISH, including shellfish, were the main protein-giving elements of the Hawaiian diet. Pig, dog, chicken and wild birds furnished some additional proteins but the comparatively small supply marked them more for the chiefs than the commoners use. Daily life was one of fishing and cultivating the plantations. Fishing required a search of the sea, from the areas within the reefs to the sea scarcely within sight of land. By salting, drying, impounding, the supply was made somewhat independent of weather conditions. Care was taken to avoid waste....

Foreword It was agriculture that enabled human beings to become producers rather than hunters and gatherers, and in doing so to settle into communities. From these earliest settlements have developed the elaborate and complex societies of today. During all these millennia, we have tended to take agriculture for granted. This is unfortunate, and unfair by all those - farm men and women in the fields, scientists in their laboratories, and policy makers in parliaments and elsewhere, for instance - who have contributed to the development of agriculture; an enterprise that is as significant as it is exciting. The history of modern agriculture which has made possible the greatest leap in well-being that the human family has yet experienced, has seen the integration of research-based knowledge with traditional wisdom to bring about great improvements in agricultural varieties, farming techniques and management practices. The consequence of that “marriage” has been undreamed of increases of food productivity which served as the center of concentric circles of progress. Understanding that process and, more important, the substance that mad...

MOVEMENT OF ENERGY In this section we are going to look in more detail on how this energy is passes between the subatomic world and the three dimension world. We look at the affects this has on the atomic structures of large atoms and the way this changes atomic interactions. Heat is a tipping effect of an atomic structure when it reaches an upper absorption limit of energy storage, where it has to expel this energy or break down and be destroyed. Heat is effect of this energy being pushed out of the atomic body into nearby atomic structures with a lower energy quotient. So how does energy move around, in Book 2 we saw how the primary energy nodes took and gave energy to each other by dynamic contact. When we got to strings, rings and atoms we saw how these semi-stable elements bonded to form a closed stable units. These units however are still reliant on the exchange on external energy to maintain an internal balance and interaction with each other....

Here we have to focus down onto the planetary model and see how the vectors that produce gravity also produce the sub forces that we describe as Magnetism. Now any large body of atomic matter compresses itself by mutual attraction of the atomic structure of a collective of the atoms with in it. This bundle of energy attracts energy nodes from the surrounding Dark Energy cloud, it needs this energy to maintain its coherence or it will fall apart and be absorbed back into the cloud. As seen in Book 7 this attraction has a halo bubble where this force is active, however the attraction is offset by the emission of excess high energy particles being thrown out of the mass is it tries to loose energy....

Gravity a short word for a big subject. Lets start by saying before reading this section you should have at least read book two of these papers about dark matter, energy and the creation of matter. To start with we must let go of the thought that gravity is a single thing like a big magnet. Gravity is in fact a combination of three forces that produce the effect that we call gravity. By gravity we generally mean the attraction of objects one to another. Although we have dealt with the elemental forces that created atoms in the previous Books, here we have to go back to the primary forces again. This time we see how they play out to create the massive amounts of energy to create matter and the forces that surround it....

Bonds formed by similar atoms tend to follow structural patterns where the atomic interface windows align with the atomic exit windows of each atom. This bonding will form a regular continuous pattern as the structure of the crystal is built up. By studying these crystalline patterns we can determine some of the positions of the atoms atomic windows. We will not be able to tell the size of these windows but give us a chance to work out the atomic interface angle....

We have looked at the basic Sub Atomic Energy Rings and at how this particle combines to from the simple then complex Atoms but to be of any use these Atoms have to build, combine and react with each other to form molecules. For atoms to do this we must have a mechanism that will allow them to react with each other without destroying their internal structure. This process is at the heart of Sub Atomic Interface Bonding and to understand it we must begin by looking at the first part of the process, the initial Sub Atomic Interfacing....

The newly formed atomic elements however need some mechanism to enable them to bond into molecules and make the next jump on to the evolutionary ladder. Something to allow atoms to essentially talk to each other. The thing that can do this is in fact the two dimensional sub atomic ring, the very thing that the atoms are made of. It is the dynamics of these sub atomic rings that make them the most interesting and most important part of the entire subatomic world. To understand this we must probe deeper into its various guises....

The new single is atom made up of two sub atomic particle rings, each ring comprising a number of energy nodes. If we look at the atom in detail we see it has a vortex pressure map giving the atom a small graviton pull. These forces are built up from the two vortex forces of the two particles rings which are locked together, the lowest pressure point being where the two faces of the gravitational vortex face each other. The small gate ring acts as a pressure valve against increasing and decreasing energy in the large or 'super' ring and becomes a one way gate preventing energy expanding down into the stretched negative end of the large ring. These forces within the locked atom try to rotate into the low pressure zone, this causes the whole structure into an offset rotation. This rotation causes a centrifugal force stretching the tail end of the large ring....

Energy is strange stuff, it both exists and does not exist, it is both positive and negative at the same time, it can repel and attract simultaneously. Most importantly it expands under pressure and contracts with decompression. We use energy as a catchall term to describe anything that produces work changes state or transfers heat. This is energy at work, the result of atomic interactions. Basic energy however in its prime form is this mysterious substance Dark Matter. This is basically a cloud of energy nodes, each node too small to detect, also being there and not being there at the same time does not help. Collectively however these nodes have the ability to form into all the matter of the universe and to govern all the motions of gravity and physics there in. So now we have described energy let us look at the properties of an energy node for its properties govern everything else....

INTRODUCTION AND FULL PROJECT INDEX By way of an introduction to these papers I want to begin by trying to give the reader some basic idea of energy because basically that what these papers are all about. We are all familiar with energy after all it comes out of the electricity socket in the wall, it runs the television, powers the computer and lights, as liquid petrol it runs the car, even as heat from the sun it warms the beach in summer. But this is energy at work, to begin at the beginning we must first have a picture in our minds eye as energy as an entity on its own, something outside our normal perception of stuff. Following this are six pages forming an index to the whole set of six Books....

When you read the labels of commercial shower soaps, you will discover all kinds of chemicals and if you are lucky a small amount of coconut oil. Most of it is palm oil!!! You are probably used that soap dries your skin out and you need to use lotion afterwards. This is not the case when you make your own shower (and hand-washing) soap. A proper handmade traditional herbal soap will hydrate and nurture your skin. The internet is full of recipes for such soaps. Do your own research and develop your own recipe based on the basic one given above. The washing soap will take stains away very well and your clothes will be very clean. I used it in a top-loader cold water washing machine with good results (on very dirty children clothes!). To my surprise whites didn't grey and on the other hand colors stayed bright. I made the soap to save costs and was very positively surprised by its quality. It is much better than locally available washing detergents (Thailand) and costs less. You can play with the amount of coconut oil. When reduced to 50 g it will still be a good washing soap. Even the 100% palm oil sopa cleans well and can be used ...
