Canning Falls

Jones Falls Ancient Megalithic Site

Jones Falls is a pretty waterfall that is interesting to explore. It's a decent size, though smaller than the better known Inglis Falls and Indian Falls, both also in the outskirts of Owen Sound. You can park along the main east-west road leading west from Owen Sound, from which the falls is visible, at least when the leaves are off the trees. A short walk through the woods leads to a footbridge over the river above the falls, followed by more trails. One of the trails goes to the bottom of the falls. This is in a conservation area, and makes for a nice short hike.

Avoid Frankfurt Airport at all Costs

Using Frankfort airport as transit airport is one of the worst choice you can make.

Between flights young man with weapons welcome you between flights. XRay machine that irradiate tourists that malfunction so that after being irradiated a weird looking person pet you as if they know you or they give you the feeling you are a prisoner.

This is the Toronto airport after 10 hour flight rescanning the passports and taking picture again of all Travellers if the machine works which is not the case allway that create additional stress to paying Travellers. 

They have different uniforms that make you think they are contractors from private companies. 

Men in charge with the service are bold and scary looking as if they just escaped the jail.

Different machines in different airports just another way of extorting the Travellers. Toronto airport has machines that after a 10.hoir flight and one hour being kept on the ground because they messed with gates with no explanation tonthe tourists takes again copy of the passport picture of each traveler print another paper that is given to another person.

Travel industry is used as a control mechanism of population.

Flight industry is a service not a jail where strangers touch strangers just for the Travellers privilege of paying high fees to travel by plane. I paid 1700 for a ticket to be trated like a criminal. You are.presumed guilty by these Crooks that we finance via plabe tickets.

We understand the tern prison planet when we travel by plane. A service such as airplane travel is used as population control mechanism while they charge us high fee for that .

Again avoid Frankfurt at all costs if you can. Transit flight should not make you get radiated.

I just read that people working close to these XRay machines in the airport get sick andnget replaced often. It is the radiation. Someone made a profit in selling these machines. Someone created problem and then provided a solution that cost us money.

These X ray machines are useless and need to be eliminated in the airports. As well as people with weapons.

They use airports for making the earth a jail. They create scarcity where is abundance. Paying young people to use weapons as intimidation tactic in airports is wring they can be used to fluidoze the traffic. 

The travelers in Toronto print their own tickets, place the tag on their own luggage slowing down the traffic, creating long crowds. The incompetence of airports management  or the intentional abuse of travelers is upsetting.

Airports were used to control who gets vaccinated or not during covid.

The Park also offers 20 campsites, 18 reserve-able picnic sites, and two camping/picnic mixed sites. Glen Eden Ski & Snowboard Centre is located in the park and offers downhill skiing, snowboarding and tubing during the winter months. In addition, the Halton Region Museum is also located on the Kelso grounds. The park also features marked mountain biking and hiking trails.

Lake Kelso is a man-made reservoir which was created to control the flooding of Sixteen Mile Creek in Milton, Ontario. It is found within Kelso Conservation Area and is maintained by Conservation Halton.

One of the founders of Conservation Halton, Allan Day, recalls that before the reservoir was built, "Milton used to get flooded every spring thaw. Milton's main street would get flooded." It was Day who convinced the previous landowner to sell his property to the Sixteen-Mile Creek Authority in 1961. The authority purchased the land for $40 000 before erecting a $325 000 water control dam a few years later.

Taino Culture in Dominican Republic

 The Taino, first original settlers of Hispaniola Island, now Dominican Republic. When Christopher Columbus found the American continent back in October 12, 1492 he was under the impression of being at or close to India, in his quest for a quicker trade route. What he found were the Taino, an indigenous culture that populated many of the Caribbean islands. Columbus anchored in La Isabela,  Puerto Plata and built the first Spanish settlement in the New World.

 

Throughout the years to follow, the Taino were killed by the conquerors either by disease or battle, and their culture was almost completely wiped out. Most Dominicans nowadays rarely resemble what the Taino looked like, and only a few families have some Taino blood in their generations. Preserved in time, still many artifacts and stone pottery can be found in the island, and their simple art they left behind in caves.  The Dominican Republic Taino were the most peaceful of these indigenous groups.

 

The Taino developed a culture based primarily on agricultural production that allowed them to craft a significant increase of utilitarian objects such as vases and other containers made of clay and wood, well-polished stone axes, objects of basketry and woven plant fibers cotton which were decorated with dyes extracted from the Jagua (Genipa Americana) and annatto (Bixa orellana), with which they also painted their bodies on special occasions. In addition, the Taino were excellent sculptors who drew up ceremonial artifacts of great artistic expression as duhos or ceremonial seats, idols or cemíes, instruments for the cohoba ritual and monolithic rings.

 

Taino Zemi – The Religious icons

The zemi (also Cemí or Zemí), whose figure, carved in various materials and sizes, could act at will to decisively influence the normal development of human life and the environment: could cohabit with men and even breed through them. The zemi was the living body of God, the mythical entity, the deified ancestor. The emotional effect that would link to the faithful and proper performance of their spiritual powers depended on the expertise to craft it and the ability to be able to reflect the nature of it.

 

Housing

Taino villages were called yucayeques and housing units were the huts and log cabins, made of wooden posts buried in the soil and cane reeds with roofs held down by palm leaves or straw, leaving a vent on top covered by a stand for the exhaust and smoke from the embers that always kept indoors. A single hut could accommodate several families, as was common among the married daughters of Tainos to live in the homes of their parents.

Taino mythology and religion

The Tainos believed in a Supreme Being whom they called Yucahu Protector Maócoti Bagua, whose mother was Atabey, Mother of Waters and Protection of the labor, but in their mythological beliefs or other deities conceived cemíes living in the sky, named Turey, relating them to the weather, the creation of the earth and mankind. Among the most accepted cemíes were the stones of three points “or trigonolitos, propitiatory rituals related to fertility, such as swidden productivity and reproduction of the human race.

The trigonolito is a highly specialized piece about the area in which it is found far more frequently. The east coast of the Spanish and the west coast of Puerto Rico have been the places where significant amounts have been found in these parts.
