*William Melville from Sneem, County Kerry was the first head of Mi6 and Mi5 when it was known by the title SIS. Because he was the founder of the British Secret Service, the original ‘M’ of both, he is not accorded with number 1 on the list of Mi6, this being attributed to Cummings.

BIOS stands for Basic Input Output System. When a computer is turned on, the first and primary thing it does is to check the BIOS for, without it, nothing further can occur. Once it is recognised and operational, the computer can go forward and await the awakening of the OS – Operational System (Dos, Windows, IOS, Ubuntu, Linux etc.,). After that programs can be installed and implemented. We humans, in a sense, are computers, also – organic computers!  We, too, have a BIOS. It consists of four potential inputs (-) and outputs (+)  located next to the pineal gland in the brain in a crystal (which shouldn’t be there) called magnetite,…

This from a National Geographic report dated December 6th, 2006 by Scott Norris Bats Use Magnetic Compasses to Navigate, Study Says Some bats find their way home using an internal “compass” that senses Earth’s magnetic field—similar to those believed to be used by migrating birds—researchers say.  Princeton University biologist Richard Holland in New Jersey and colleagues found that exposure to artificial magnetic fields confused such bats, causing them to fly in the wrong direction. The finding, reported in (following day) an issue of the journal Nature, is the first of its kind in bats and helps fill in a gap in scientists’ understanding of how the animals navigate.

This from a National Geographic report dated November 24th, 2004 by James Owen Magnetic Beaks Help Birds Navigate, Study Says No wonder homing pigeons seldom get lost: They may get directions from their beaks. This intriguing idea is raised by a new study on the navigational abilities of birds published in tomorrow’s issue of the science journal Nature.  The study raises the possibility that homing pigeons use a magnetic “map” inside their beaks for long-distance journeys. Researchers say their study proves for the first time that homing pigeons can sense Earth’s magnetic field. The findings add to the debate over whether pigeons and other birds chart their flight paths by using…

This from a National Geographic report dated August 25th, 2008 by Anne Minard Cattle, Deer Graze Along Earth’s Magnetic Field Cattle and deer all over the world tend to align themselves with Earth’s magnetic field, according to new research. Both types of animals appear to graze in a north-south direction that aligns with magnetic north, not geographic north, according to European researchers who scrutinized thousands of Google Earth images. Birds, turtles, and fish are known to use magnetic guidance in migration. And among small mammals, a handful of rodent and one bat species have been shown to possess a magnetic compass. Sabine Begall, a zoologist at the University of Duisburg in…
