With this in mind, NEXUS seeks to provide ‘hard-to-get’ information so as to assist people through these changes. NEXUS is not linked to any religious, philosophical or political ideology or organisation. PERMISSION-TO-REPRODUCE POLICY While reproduction and dissemination of the infor- mation in NEXUS is actively encouraged, anyone caught making a buck out of it, without our express permission, will be in trouble when we catch them! Editorial have been a busy boy of late. For weeks, I have spent all my spare time scanning 20 years’ worth of NEXUS back issues, articles, news items and reviews into the computer. The final result has been a single PDF file for each edition, article, news section, reviews section, etc. These PDF files are text searchable, and are free of advertisements. You can access these electronic back issues and articles via two methods. The first is via our brand new website with a secure shopping cart. Although NEXUS was among the first to have a website in Australia, I have done little to update the style or content layout over the past decade, and so the long-awaited and promised overhaul has now been effected. As well as looking modern and pretty (which means those flashing rainbow lines have now gone from the home page), our new-look website offers a lot more to readers. Apart from the selection of free articles, you can now purchase any back issue, article or review, etc. as an electronic download directly into your own computer. The other way to access these electronic NEXUS files is to buy our new compilation DVD. We are calling it "NEXUS: The First 20 Years" and, as you can guess, it contains all the back issues going back to volume |, number 1, published in 1987. Apart from looking attractive on a bookshelf, the main benefit of this DVD is that you can pop it into any computer and search the actual contents of the thousand-odd files. How good is that? Following the huge popularity and success of last year's NEXUS Conference, I am already making plans for this year's. So far I can announce that the 2008 NEXUS Conference will be held over 4-5-6 October at Novotel Twin Waters Resort on the beautiful Sunshine Coast of southeast Queensland, Australia. Apart from a line-up of the usual high-quality speakers and presentations, two of the major attractions at the conference this year include the Mitchell-Hedges Crystal Skull and someone coming out from Russia to speak about the Ringing Cedars phenomenon. For those Australians who don't know what the Mitchell-Hedges Crystal Skull is, I consider it the skull of skulls, in terms of how it ranks in both mystery and beauty against all the thousands of crystal skulls out there for sale or display. For the past decade or so, this enigmatic skull has been less visible to the public than in earlier times, but this year will see the skull travelling around the world so that people can share in its majesty and mystery. For those who don't understand why this skull is different or mysterious, we have started a series of articles by Philip Coppens about the skull. If you live in Australia, make sure you get to see it; it will be a once-in-a-lifetime chance. If the NEXUS articles don't inspire your interest, then I'm sure the new Indiana Jones movie will do the trick. In this issue, we have yet more great articles, including on the important issue of pre- emptive nuclear strikes. This is basically the concept whereby if you think someone is going to be a threat to your safety, you neutralise that person or country before they move against you. Now, we know that the "war on terror" is a complete hoax and is just a screen to mask the greatest resource rush by the superpowers that the world has ever seen, but the possibility of pre-emptive strikes with nuclear weapons is taking it to a new level of madness. Please, if you have a pen or a phone or an email account, tell your national leaders that the concept of pre-emptive strikes is wrong and should be banned! One of the other articles I want to draw to your attention is about the Naadi Palm Leaf Readers of India. I had heard of this mysterious phenomenon many years ago when an eX-as n I was interviewing revealed to me that the main reason for his "change" away from killing people for Her Majesty's Secret Service was that while he was in India he had his palm leaf found and read. Its accurate contents literally freaked him out! This was a rational, methodical, science-believing person who encountered something that most consider impossible—and it changed his life completely. Fascinating stuff! On a final note, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all of our advertisers for their support, especially one of our longest-running advertisers, Mr Joshua Shaw of Bionic Products. For those of you who haven't noticed his adverts in the last 15 years of NEXUS, he is the inventor/manufacturer of the Elanra therapeutic ionisers (which I can thoroughly recommend). Josh has just turned seventy and is offering a special deal on his ionisers for readers of NEXUS in all countries and languages (see his ad inside this issue). Happy birthday, Josh!
