DOWSING - The dowser, by concentrating on the hidden object, is somehow able to tune in to the energy force or "vibration" of the object which, in turn, forces the dowsing rod or stick to move. The dowsing tool may act as a kind of amplifier or antenna for tuning into the energy.

All About Dowsing

IT'S AN ANCIENT ART USED FOR FINDING WATER, BURIED TREASURE AND EVEN MISSING PEOPLE.

HERE'S WHAT IT IS, HOW IT WORKS, THE METHODS AND TOOLS -- AND HOW YOU CAN LEARN TO DOWSE

A man walking through an empty field holding a Y-shaped stick before him in both hands can be a peculiar sight.
What is he doing? Either he's leading some bizarre, solitary parade... or he's dowsing.
WHAT IS DOWSING?
Dowsing, in general terms, is the art of finding hidden things.
Usually, this is accomplished with the aid of a dowsing stick, rods or a pendulum.
Also known as divining, water witching, doodlebugging and other names, dowsing is an ancient practice whose origins are lost in long-forgotten history.
However, it is thought to date back at least 8,000 years. Wall murals, estimated to be about 8,000 years old, discovered in the Tassili Caves of North Africa depict tribesmen surrounding a man with a forked stick, possibly dowsing for water.
Artwork from ancient China and Egypt seem to show people using forked tools in what might have been dowsing activities.
Dowsing may have been mentioned in the Bible, although not by name, when Moses and Aaron used a "rod" to locate water.
The first unambiguous written accounts of dowsing come from the Middle Ages when dowsers in Europe used it to help find coal deposits.
During the 15th and 16th centuries, dowsers were often denounced as practitioners of evil.
Martin Luther said dowsing was "the work of devil" (and hence the term "water witching").
In more modern times, dowsing has been used to find water for wells, mineral deposits, oil, buried treasure, archaeological artifacts - even missing people.
How the dowsing technique was first discovered is unknown, yet those who practice it are unwavering in their affirmations that it does work.
HOW DOES DOWSING WORK?
The quick answer is that no one really knows - not even experienced dowsers.
Some theorize there is a psychic connection established between the dowser and the sought object.
All things, living and inanimate, the theory suggests, possess an energy force.
The dowser, by concentrating on the hidden object, is somehow able to tune in to the energy force or "vibration" of the object which, in turn, forces the dowsing rod or stick to move.
The dowsing tool may act as a kind of amplifier or antenna for tuning into the energy.
Skeptics, of course, say that dowsing doesn't work at all. Dowsers who seem to have a track record for success, they contend, are either lucky or they have good instincts or trained knowledge for where water, minerals and the like can be found.
For believer or skeptic, there's no definitive proof either way.
Albert Einstein, however, was convinced of the authenticity of dowsing. He said, "I know very well that many scientists consider dowsing as they do astrology, as a type of ancient superstition. According to my conviction this is, however, unjustified. The dowsing rod is a simple instrument which shows the reaction of the human nervous system to certain factors which are unknown to us at this time."
WHO CAN DOWSE?
Dowers say that anyone can do it. Like most psychic abilities, it may be a latent power that all humans possess.
And, like any other ability, the average person might become better at it with practice. However, there are some people whose dowsing powers are extraordinary:
·      Emmy Kittemann, daughter of a dowser, was one of the most acclaimed dowsers in Germany. In her most famous case, she correctly dowsed the location of a mineralized spring for the village of Tegernsee. All previous drillings found only water with heavy sulfur content. Yet Kitteman accurately predicted the depth at which the water would be found as well as its iodine-rich content.
·      In 17th century France, Jacques Aymar Vernay, a stonemason by trade, used his dowsing talents to successfully track criminals. His dowsing rod, on more than one occasion, led authorities to the whereabouts of murderers.
·       In December, 1992, a Mr. and Mrs. Anders and Berith Lindgren were hunting with their friends when their dog ran off and disappeared. An extensive search proved fruitless. A few days later they sought the help of dowser Leif Andersson. His dowsing techniques led the hunters to a small lake where they indeed found the body of the dog, where it had apparently fallen through the thin ice and died.
Dowsing is one of the few psychic talents that can be applied directly for profitable result or as a business.
Some well-known names from history practiced dowsing, including Leonardo De Vinci, Robert Boyle (considered the father of modern chemistry), Charles Richet (a Nobel Prize winner), General Rommel of the German Army, and General George S. Patton.
"General Patton," writes Don Nolan in his article A Brief History of Dowsing "had a complete willow tree flown to Morocco so that a dowser could use branches from it to find water to replace the wells the German Army had blown up. The British army used dowsers on the Falkland Islands to remove mines."
Professor Hans Dieter Betz (professor of physics, Munich university) headed a team of scientists that investigated the ability of dowsers to find underground drinkable supplies, taking them to 10 different countries.
On the advice of dowers, they sank some 2,000 wells with a very high success rate. In Sri Lanka, where the geological conditions are said to be difficult, some 691 wells were drilled for, based on the advice of dowsers, with a 96% success rate.
Geohydrologists given the same task took two months to evaluate a site where a dowser would compete his survey in minutes.
The geohydrologists had a 21% success rate, as a result of which the German government has sponsored 100 dowers to work in the arid zones of Southern India to find drinkable water.
TYPES OF DOWSING
There are several types or methods of dowsing:
·      Forked stick. The most traditional method uses a small Y-shaped tree branch (most often from a willow). The dowser holds the branch parallel to the ground by the top of the Y shape, then walks over the area to be probed. When the dowser passes over the sought object, the end of the branch is drawn down, pointing to the spot at which the object can be found.
·      Rods. An alternate method uses two L-shaped metal rods, one held in each hand parallel to the ground and parallel to each other. In this case, when the dowser passes over the sought object, the rods either swing apart or cross each other. You can easily make dowsing rods from wire coat hangers.
·      Map dowsing. Some dowsers don't even have to visit the location to be dowsed. For them, a map of the area is sufficient over which they hold a pendulum. They know they have located the target area when the pendulum begins to move in a circle or back and forth.

CHEMICALS DELAY OZONE RECOVERY - The ozone layer protects us and every other living organism from the harmful ultraviolet radiation of the Sun. A chemical called dichloromethane could delay the closing of the ozone hole by five to 30 years. Long-lived chlorine-based chemicals known as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) were responsible for the depletion of the stratospheric ozone layer.

Ozone Hole Over Antarctica
Chemicals Delay Ozone Recovery
Unregulated Chemicals Might Delay Ozone Recovery By Up To 30 Years

New research has discovered that unregulated chemicals in the atmosphere could significantly delay the recovery of the ozone layer.
According to a new paper, published in Nature Communications, a chemical called dichloromethane could delay the closing of the ozone hole by five to 30 years.

Long-lived chlorine-based chemicals known as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) were responsible for the depletion of the stratospheric ozone layer.
The situation became critical over Antarctica, with CFCs banned in 1987 with the introduction of the UN Montreal Protocol.
Thanks to the ban, the ozone layer began to heal, and it was estimated that it would completely recover sometime between 2046 and 2057.
But the increase in short-lived ozone-depleting substances like dichloromethane are pushing that date back.
"Dichloromethane is a man-made ozone-depleting chemical that has a range of industrial applications," lead author Dr Ryan Hossaini of Lancaster University said in a statement.
"Unlike CFCs and similar long-lived gases that are responsible for most ozone depletion, dichloromethane has a short atmospheric lifetime so has not been controlled by the Montreal Protocol. Despite this, increased production has led to a rapid increase in its atmospheric concentration over the past decade.”
Hossaini and his team estimate that between 2000 and 2012, low-altitude concentrations of dichloromethane increased by about 8 percent per year.
And if we take the atmosphere as a whole, the concentration of this chemical has almost doubled between 2004 and 2014.
Every year, about 1 million metric tons of dichloromethane are released.
"While ozone depletion from dichloromethane is currently quite modest, it is uncertain how the amount of this gas in the atmosphere will change in the future," said Hossaini.
"Our results show that continued sustained growth in its concentration could substantially delay recovery of the ozone layer, offsetting some of the future benefits of the Montreal Protocol."
Understanding the long-term impact of these gasses can help scientists produce better models of the ozone abundance in the atmosphere and how changes in distribution can impact the wider climate of our planet.
"We should be mindful of the growing threat to stratospheric ozone posed by dichloromethane and similar chemicals not controlled by the Montreal Protocol," continued Dr Hossaini. "There is work to be done to better understand and quantify their main sources to the atmosphere."
The ozone layer protects us and every other living organism from the harmful ultraviolet radiation of the Sun. Its recovery is incredibly important.

Once there were green fields kissed by the sun.
Once there were valleys where rivers used to run.
Once there were blue skies with white clouds high above.
Once they were part of an everlasting love.
We were the lovers who strolled through green fields.

Green fields are gone now, parched by the sun.
Gone from the valleys where rivers used to run.
Gone with the cold wind that swept into my heart.
Gone with the lovers who let their dreams depart.
Where are the green fields that we used to roam ?

I'll never know what made you run away.
How can I keep searching when dark clouds hide the day.
I only know there's nothing here for me.
Nothing in this wide world, left for me to see.

Still I'll keep on waiting until you return.
I'll keep on waiting until the day you learn.
You can't be happy while your heart's on the roam,
You can't be happy until you bring it home.
Home to the green fields and me once again.
