Until the nineteenth century all time was local time. On foot or on horseback, it was impossible to travel fast enough to care that noon was a few minutes earlier or later from one town to the next. The invention of railways and telegraphs, however, created a newly interconnected world where suddenly the time differences between cities mattered. The Clocks Are Telling Lies is an exploration of why we tell time the way we do, demonstrating that organizing a new global time system was no simple task. Standard time, envisioned by railway engineers such as Sandford Fleming, clashed with universal time, promoted by astronomers. When both sides met in 1884 at the International Meridian Conference in Washington, DC, to debate the best way to organize time, disagreement abounded. If scientific and engineering experts could not agree, how would the public? Following some of the key players in the debate, Scott Johnston reveals how people dealt with the contradictions in global timekeeping in surprising ways – from zealots like Charles Piazzi Smyth, who campaigned for the Great Pyramid to serve as the prime meridian, to Maria Belville, who sold the time door to door in Victorian London, to Moraviantown and other Indigenous communities that used timekeeping to fight for autonomy. Drawing from a wide range of primary sources, The Clocks Are Telling Lies offers a thought-provoking narrative that centres people and politics, rather than technology, in the vibrant story of global time telling.

Geila takes you on a wild and incredible journey of love, joy, and healing, and straight into the heart and soul of Shaula Pearl, who survived a horrific existence of abuse and neglect. To truly enchant her, it took the magic of belief, a fearless enchantment plan, and support from the angelic realms, opening doorways to the spirit world. The luminous glow of divine guidance poured in, helping Shaula Pearl rise above her most frightening memories. Within a year, she was no longer stiff and afraid of everything, crammed into a small closet. Also, she found joy. It manifested in such an amazing and unexpected way, it leaves you in awe of the divine power of love and the value of all journeys. Shaula Pearl glows with spiritual messages, reminding us that all souls deserve their joyful inheritance, that it doesnt matter who we love, but that we love, and that animals are highly respected on the other side. Shaula Pearl knows that now, embracing her self-worth, linking her to the sacredness of her own soul. She claimed her inner-dog goddess. Also, Geilas own innate psychic abilities flourished. When you connect passionately with a soul who feels hopeless, and you love without conditions, you call in your angels, guides, and even your deceased dogs, with their own brand of enchantment. Enchanting Shaula Pearl takes you beyond a rescue story, into the realms of spirit, where all things are imaginable.
