Open Office Calc (Spreadsheet) Adding Background colour to every second line

 

If working on a spread sheet there can be advantages to have each second row shaded in a particular colour throughout the sheet. This will stay constant even if rows are deleted or added to the sheet during work on it.

 

Open an 'Open Office Calc' document

Select any single cell within the sheet to format it with the colour required.

Go to Format > Cells > Background > click on colour required > click on OK

 

Next step is to give that format a name.  Go to Format > Styles and Formatting >  In the Styles and Formatting Window > click on the 'New style from Selection' Icon (the middle icon at the top right hand corner of the Window). Hover the cursor over the icon and the name will appear to confirm it is the right icon.

 

In the 'Create Style' Window > Style name > insert a name of the colour to identify the background chosen > click OK. This inserts that name in the list on the Style and Formatting Window. Close the Style and Formatting Window by clicking on the 'X' in the top right hand corner.

 

Go back to the Spreadsheet and take the format off the chosen cell.  (Format > Cells > Background > choose No Fill > click OK)

 

Select all cells in the spread sheet either 'Ctrl + A' or Click the blank cell in the top left hand corner of the spread sheet at the intersection of the row and line number.

Now apply conditional formatting to the entire sheet. Go to Format > Conditional Formatting.  In the Conditional Formatting Window > tick the Condition 1 box > in the spin box below that change to 'Formula is' In the box opposite this type in formula  “mod(row()+1;2)=1” without the inverted commas. In the Cell Style from the drop down choose the colour there that was chosen previously for the spreadsheet. Click OK.

 

Take the highlighting off the spread sheet by clicking somewhere within the spreadsheet and every second row will be the chosen colour.

 

If intending to use this regularly on new spreadsheets save as a Template.

   Fonts in Open Office

 

There are options to font display in Open Office that make it more user friendly.

 

Generally the Formatting Toolbar that shows the font name and font size boxes will be displayed in Open Office Writer and Calc documents.

 

If not showing, click on the View in the Headings and the drop down will show Toolbars. The side bar menu shows the list of tools bars that can be opened or closed by ticking or removing the tick. One of these is the Formatting Toolbar.

 

With the Formatting Toolbar open the Font Name box is visible with an arrow to show a drop down list of fonts.

 

In Tools > Options > OpenOffice.org > View if you have ticked the Font History field and click OK the last five font names that have been selected for the document you are working on are shown in the top part of the combo box. This is a useful option if typing a document that contains a number of changes in fonts being used.

 

Another option in the Tools > Options > OpenOffice.org > View is to have the names of the fonts formatted in their respective font if you tick in the Preview in Fonts list and click OK. This makes the choice of font to be used easier than if all the fonts are listed in the same default font.

 

When the current document is closed the font history is cleared from the drop down list.

 

By ticking the drop down arrow a limited number of fonts is shown. If the first letter of the font being looked for is typed in the name box the list will immediately go to the block of fonts beginning with that name to make selection quicker than scrolling down through all the listed fonts.

 

Any font changes apply to the selected text or word in which the cursor is positioned. If no text has been selected, the font applies to the next text typed.

Brief large spike in local background radiation. What caused it?

By Peter Daley · Comments (25)
Monday, January 9th, 2012

 

This spike in radiation was detected on the 8th January 2012, on the Sunshine Coast, Australia. The wind direction was NNE at 22degrees. Geiger Counter Alarm starting going off at around 6.30 pm. Raised radiation levels lasted until around 9.45 pm.

 

The Gammascout Geiger Counter alert alarm was set to go off at .50 uS/Hr, and to record data every 10 minutes. I was shocked  to hear the Geiger alarm going off. Visual observations showed actual peaks reaching  .80 uS/Hr.  Even though this chart  of the downloaded 10 minute interval recorded data is not showing the true peaks that occurred, it is still dramatic.

 

 If the maximum visual observed peak had been recorded, the peak on this chart would be over twice as high!

 

The beginning of the chart   would be considered average background for our area. Background radiation levels here, with 4 years of recorded data to refer to, has averaged around .10 uS/Hr. The background radiation level was peaking 8 times above average during this event!

 

Either some of the radioactive fall out from Fukushima has briefly reached us, or there is some seismic activity N/NE of our location in the Pacific Ocean which has released a spike in radon gas. Just a theory.

 

The dramatic drop in background reading just before the spike is also interesting. Anyone have any ideas?

 

I promised members that I would post any unusual radiation data, I just didn't expect to be doing this so soon.

 

Here is an article at The Sunshine Coast Daily, the local paper on this event, plus an interview on New Zealand radio station GreenplanetFM. Click the play button next to the speaker icon, to listen to the radio interview, that starts after a bit of an introduction on synchronicity.

 

I have since had a report from someone in New Zealand. He detected .33 uS/Hr. He had wiped down a small area of a wet car, and then tested the cloth. He indicated that this was above their normal background level. This was  2 days after my report.

 

"Hello Peter!

 

I carried out a swab of a car windscreen after our first rain in weeks. I've been doing this every so often out of curiosity after seeing many videos on youtube showing results.Well, after 4-5 weeks of northerlies, and no serious rain (as well as stinking hot weather) a quick swab test of 0.4m^2 of windscreen yielded 0.33 microSieverts per hour … outside background here averages 0.12 microSieverts per hour …

 

Using the front foil, it appeared to be alphas and betas …
What ever you were detecting blew this way, and precipitated in the rain.

 

I'm in Dunedin NZ. Almost 46 South

 

Best Regards and Wishes,"

 

Here are four theories on what caused the spike in radiation.

 

Theory One

My theory is that there was an event at Fukushima around late December 2011 – new years 2012 that released a large amount of radiation. The weather conditions where similar to those of March / April 2011. The (NILU), Norwegian Institute for Air Research had run  simulations which predicted the creation of world wide radiation fallout clouds from the Fukushima nuclear disaster for March / April 2011. One of these simulations for March / April 2011 indicated that a radiation cloud would form off the east coast of Australia. This year the cloud formed again but blew inland, and didn't stay off the coast.

 

Here is the NILU map of the March /April 2011 radiation cloud off Australia's east coast.

 

See all the Fukushima radiation cloud simulation maps  for  2011 by NILU here.

TheoryTwo

 

Potrblog have gone to a lot of trouble, and put a detailed youtube video analysis of the Caloundra radiation spike event on the Internet. These people have done similar analyses of American radiation fallout events. This is their theory.

Theory Four

HAARP and how Fukushima radiation beamed down to Australia, by Yoichi Shimatsu, former General Editor – The Japan Times Weekly

http://rense.com/general95/haarp1.html

 

Here are new background radiation level charts that show raised radiation levels for January 25th, 27th and February 25th 2012.

 

This week starting January 23/01/2012, we have had over 300 mm of rain. Rain troughs have been coming from the Australian northern tropics constantly for days now. It would appear that our average daily background radiation is increasing since the spike event on the 8 January 2012, (see chart above).

 

I am now recording local background radiation every minute, so I am more likely to record those spikes. You will notice that the dark blue radiation average for 24 hours line in the new charts has crept up above .15 uS/Hr to .18 uS/Hr over the two days. Radiation spikes are now going above .3 uS/Hr, plus background readings are much more volatile.  Up until the  8th January 2012, I have not seen spikes go above .2 uS/Hr at my location. These charts represents the highest average so far for the 4 years of data I have collected on local background radiation levels. Our average local background  over four years has been around .10 uS/Hr!

Another radioactive cloud passes over on the 25 February 2012, 24 hour chart – one minute sampling.

The highest recorded peak was .34 uS/Hr at 7.33 am. More spikes of .30 uS/Hr between 7am to 8am in the morning. Dark blue line in the 24 hour chart is the daily average, .146 uS/Hr. This all happened at the end of a significant local rain event. Some local areas received 340 mm of rain in 24 hours.

I looked at the local weather radar at the time and the rain event came in off the ocean from the north north east. The same direction as the radiation cloud that I detected passing over the east coast of Australia on January 8th 2012.

Another radioactive cloud passes over on the 5th March 2012, 24 hour chart – one minute sampling.

The highest  peak was a visual observation of .63 uS/Hr after the Geiger alarm went of,  lots more spikes of .30 uS/Hr  and above falling off in the late afternoon . Dark blue line in the 24 hour chart is the daily average, .185 uS/Hr. This all happened during a significant local rain event.

I looked at the local weather radar at the time and the rain event came in off the Pacific Ocean in a strange spiral pattern from the north.

Radioactive cloud detections on the 20th and 21st of April

So far. all our radioactive cloud detections have occurred when the wind has come from the northern tropics. From my observations of the weather radar at the time, on the 20th and 21st, two air masses, a northerly and southerly, meet just north of Caloundra. The Geiger Counter alarm sounded on numerous occasions, indicating radiation levels went above .50 uSv/hr multiple times. These above .50 uSv/hr events where brief and were not recorded by the Geiger Counter data logger. My theory is that when the northerly pressure system pushed a little bit south, we got the radiation detections. When the northerly air mass was pushed north background went back to normal. The radioactive cloud detections are a result of the huge amounts of radiation released by the still active Fukushima Nuclear disaster, breaching the Northern and Southern hemisphere air circulation barrier.

Radioactive cloud detections on the 23rd of April

Here is the chart for the 23rd, peaks not as high as the 20th and 21st April, but the days overall average radiation level was higher.

Open Office Calc (Spreadsheet) Freeze column labels

 

If working in a spreadsheet with more rows of information than can be viewed on one sheet, it is possible to keep the headings in view as you scroll down the sheet to view or enter more rows of information.

 

Enter the headings of the columns in Row 1 Columns A, B, C etc. (EG – Date, Day, Event, etc)  These are called labels.

 

Enter some detail in Row 2. Select Cell A2 > go to Window on the Menu Bar and from the Drop Down Menu > Click Freeze (this will place a tick beside the word Freeze)

 

From now on however many rows of the spreadsheet are used the ‘labels’ will remain visible at the top of the sheets to be a guide for reading or entering more information in the sheet irrespective of the number of rows used in the spreadsheet.

Artificial Earthquake Creation Technology

By Peter Daley · Comments (1)
Monday, November 28th, 2011

Previous generations had the view that it was a scientific fact it was impossible to fly, or to have large metal ships that float, or travel under water. New, previously impossible technologies and possibilities are created, as new information and discoveries are added to the human collective intellectual database.

 

We are constantly told about new scientific discoveries. But what are scientific discoveries? Nothing more than what was already possible in the world, but humans where not aware of it. So if that is the case, doesn't this show that what we consider as fact can be changed in an instant with new information? It is always important to keep an open mind, and a view that anything may be possible.

 

You have all been taught that the Earth and the planets revolve around the Sun in elliptical orbits. That is true if you think of the Sun as stationary. The Sun is actually moving around the centre of our Milky Way Galaxy at 220km/sec, a phenomenal speed. That the means that the planets are actually traveling in a spiral through space, if you take into account the 220KM/sec motion of the Sun. You can look up this information about our Sun here, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun Just taking into consideration an object as huge as the Sun's size and mass, traveling at 220Km/sec, plus our tiny planet is following it while spinning around, it's just incredible!

 

This means that our set perspective of what we considered factual and possible, about the motion of the planets and the Sun, has just changed in an instant with new information.

 

Is it possible that someone now has the technology to artificially create earthquakes? There seems to be evidence that this is the case. I keep an eye on earthquake activity throughout the world on a daily bases. Looking at the grid pattern of small earthquakes in the screen shot below. This is definitely unnatural. Each dot represents the epicentre of an earthquake over a week or less, showing up in Turkey, on the European Earthquake monitoring system in May 2011.

 

 

I use these sites for real time earthquake activity monitoring, “Latest Earthquakes in the World – Past 7 days”

 

http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/

 

and “The European and Mediterranean Seismological Centre”

 

http://www.emsc-csem.org/Earthquake/Map/gmap.php

 

The first thing you find out when you use these facilities, is that they don't show you all the worldwide earthquake activity on any of these sites. You need to be looking at both sites to get a better world view of earthquake activity.

 

To get to the main point, look at this youtube video below. This was put up on youtube on May 22, 2011. I don't necessarily agree with all the views in this video. I am mainly interested in the earthquake grid pattern they discovered.

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqOFHc7CRhE&feature=player_embedded

 

Then read this article at the Colin Andrew's site.

 

http://www.colinandrews.net/EarthquakeGridPattern-Colin_Andrews.html

 

The images at the Colin Andrew's frame grabs, are of the Canary Island swarm of earthquakes just before the Volcano El Hierro submarine volcano erupted recently. The screen shot was taken from the official European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre website on October 8, 2011.

 

I was at the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre website and viewed the Canary Island earthquake activity myself in real time, and found a similar, but smaller active grid pattern of earthquake activity on the northern ocean side of the island, on the 21th and 22th of November, around the El Hierro Volcano vent that is erupting below the sea.

 

Here is information about the Canary Island El Hierro Volcano eruption that started recently.

 

http://www.volcanodiscovery.com/volcano_news.html

 

This evidence would suggest that there are artificial earthquake experiments taking place for the creation, or control of earthquakes, or volcanoes in this case. You just do not get epicentres of earthquakes happening on perfect grid patterns, they are random. I have been looking at earthquakes for years and have never seen patterns of this type ever, until now.

 

So far, different observers have seen these earthquake grid patterns at different times. They have been small earthquakes in magnitude at present. They have also shown up in real time on the earthquake monitoring systems in different locations. The El Hierro grid pattern earthquakes I observed, all had the same depth of around 20Km and were approximately around the same magnitude of between 2.7 to 3. This is also very unnatural.

 

The earthquake activity at the Canary islands is a big deal because of the potential disaster it could create! If you look up HAARP or scalar technologies on the Internet, you will find lots of information and patents that have been granted for these types of technologies. A very quick summary on the theory of how these HAARP technologies work. They use powerful giga watt directed energy beams, generated from ground stations or satellites, and reflect this energy beam off plasma mirrors they have strategically created in the Earth's Ionosphere. This allows them to accurately focus that beam to different locations around the world to affect the weather, or create earthquakes. Lots of countries, including the major powers, have facilities to experiment with these technologies. These recent earthquake grid observations suggest that someone is refining their technology to be more focused, accurate, and effective.

 

Are these earthquake grid patterns proof someone is experimenting and refining this type of technology?

 

Update 19th April 2012,

 

I took these screen shots below of seismic activity in Turkey 18.04.2012. 

 

No way this is natural, earthquake activity is random. These earthquake grids when they appear consist of lots of small earthquakes around 2 to 3 on the Richter scale all around the same depth. These small grid earthquake patterns can last for days.

 

They tend to try and hide this activity by clustering a lot of small earthquakes in a relativity small area. Unless you focus in on this cluster activity and magnify it, you would not notice it.

 

This activity has been quite for some time but I detected this yesterday on the European Mediterranean Seismological Centre ( http://www.emsc-csem.org/Earthquake/Map/gmap.php ) web site and took these screen shots.

 

http://sccc.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/capture_001_18042012_143310.jpg

http://sccc.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/capture_001_18042012_143521.jpg

 

These earthquake patterns can last for days in one place. Is it like pushing softly on the plate to see what will happen, or is it to try and relieve plate pressure?
Or is it "Look what we can do," cooperate or else?
The other question is who is doing it?

Inserting Lines In Open Office Writer Documents Part Of The Way Across A Page

By Jean · Comments (0)
Tuesday, November 8th, 2011

Inserting Lines In Open Office Writer Documents Part Of The Way Across A Page

In Open Office Writer it is possible to insert a number of lines of equal length for part of the way across a page which is sometimes a requirement. Open an Open Office Writer document – Go to > Insert > Table (one line and one column) > Click > OK.

This will put a table into your document. Adjust the table to the size of the line length required by hovering the cursor over the end border line to get the double ended arrows and then move the mouse to adjust the size to what is required and move to position required.

 

Click inside the table to make the insertion point.  Type three or more identical characters from this list –

  • minus,
  • underscore,
  • equals,
  • asterisk,
  • tilde (sometimes called swung dash),
  • hash mark,

at the beginning of a line and then press Enter. In Writer documents this will insert a horizontal line across the page between the set margins. Each key will give a different line style. More than one line can be entered to within the frame by pressing enter after the first line is entered.

 

The border will still appear to be around the table. To remove > go to Table and from the drop down > click Table Properties > Table Format > Borders Tab > Style > Choose None > click far left square under Default > Click OK. Check by doing Print Preview and the table borders will not be visible or be printed.

 

To remove the table (minus border) and lines once it is present, > Table > Delete > Table

 

The same can be achieved with using Insert Frame and adjusting procedures used for frames to insert lines across frame and adding the colour desired to the line/s.

 

To remove the effect once it is present – > Right click on the frame so the green handles are around the frame > Click > Delete key. This will remove the frame and the lines that were inserted.

 

Add Colour to the line -

In Open Office Writer the colour of the line may be changed.  Go to > Format > Paragraph > Borders > Line > Colour and select the desired colour from the drop down list. Alternately right click and from the list > Paragraph > Borders > Line > Colour and select the desired colour from the drop down list and click OK.

Inserting Lines In Open Office Writer Documents

 

There are times when you need to insert horizontal lines in an Open Office Writer document. If you type three or more identical characters from this list –

  • minus,
  • underscore,
  • equals,
  • asterisk,
  • tilde (sometimes called swung dash),
  • hash mark,

at the beginning of a line and then press Enter.  This will insert a horizontal line across the page between the set margins. Each key will give a different line style.

 

To remove the line once it is present -

Put the cursor at the beginning of the paragraph after the line, and backspace until the line disappears. Then press Enter to separate your paragraphs again, or

 

Right-click in the paragraph before the line and select Paragraph… | Borders. Under “Borders”click in the leftmost small box, to remove all borders or in the Style List scroll to the top of the list to left click on ‘none’. Press OK.

 

Add Colour to the line -

The colour of the line may be changed. Writer sees the line as a border attached to and part of the preceding paragraph. With the cursor in the preceding paragraph (or just above the line), go to > Format > Paragraph > Borders > Line > Colour and select the desired colour from the drop down list an click OK. Alternately right click and from the list > Paragraph > Borders > Line > Colour – select the desired colour from the drop down list and click OK.

Masses of Subliminal Deception Everywhere!

By Peter Daley · Comments (0)
Monday, October 31st, 2011

I think you will all be shocked at all the subliminal messages in modern media, even  in what you consider to be safe children’s media! Thought it was illegal? Think again! Modern technology allows modern advertising agencies to created multi layered images in media that is very sophisticated. These layered images contain subliminal messages to sway your opinions, or to just get you to purchase something. Unless you are looking carefully for this content , you won’t even notice it!

 

The most common subliminal message is sex

 

To prove my point and get you interested in the subject, watch this six minute Youtube video titled. “Subliminal Messages Busted”. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ng6hQfGzQig

 

If you go to youtube and type in “subliminal messages” in the search facility, you will find lots of other information on the subject. You will also be shocked to find lots of subliminal adverting hidden children’s movies, games, and products of well known family oriented brands, which you considered safe for your children, and grand children.

 

Understand clearly that everyone in modern society is being subject to this constant subliminal imagery from a very early age, so that their opinions and desires  can be constantly influenced to create the outcomes desired by those using these technologies!

 

Subliminal message techniques are employed to influence and entice you to make decisions about what product to purchase, what candidate or political party to vote or not vote for , or even change your opinion on an important subject. This technology uses a very sophisticated knowledge on how the human mind works, plus the power of modern computer graphics techniques to embed  lots of subconscious messages into imagery.

 

The video above was very quick introduction to the subject of subliminal advertising. Below is a link to a video which has leaked pages from a advertising training manual on subliminal advertising techniques. In the intro to the course the manual states that there is no refund for the course, as one third of those doing the course drop out because they become so discussed with the courses content. The ad manual explains the much more sophisticated multi layered image symbolism techniques used by advertisers, and why they are used. I think you will be  shocked by its content!

Leaked Ad Training Documen part 2

http://www.youtube.com/watch?src_vid=TftkRHZ_KWM&annotation_id=annotation_782484&feature=iv&v=yp8YaLlJfXk

 

This particular Sharpie Self Expression Commercial 2011 has recently created a lot of controversy in America. Whether you believe in the ideas behind  the  “Occupy Wall Street ” protest in America or not,  this commercial appears to have a completely different agenda to that of selling Sharpie, and a direct attempt to pacify the American populace. Look for the  “Stop Protesting Now”, banner about 11 and 12 seconds into the ad. You can pause it there.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=feIlvjN6fIM

 

The average person in society is easy to influence. They are being constantly bombarded with large numbers of these loaded messages from birth to death, by digital and the print media. For more subliminal information across a broad range of subjects Subliminal Manipulation is a great site. (Link below) This site has been taken down a couple times, and the accounts closed , because they want to keep this information secret, and the site creator has had to create new sites. Back up the site on your computer if you want the information for future reference, or just to show the family how insidious this all is, if it goes down.

Change Text From Lower To Upper Case and More

(MS Word And Open Office Writer And Calc)

 

 

The shift key and the Caps Lock keys on the key board allow the changing of case of text as a document is being typed.

 

On an already typed piece of text there are other options.

 

 

MS Word – In an MS Word document a quick way to change text from lower case to capitals or first letter capital is to use the combination SHIFT and F3. With a word or words or a block of text on a page highlighted, each time you hit the SHIFT followed by the F3 key, the text formation will cycle through Lowercase, Capitals and then First Letter Capital. There is also a way to make changes under Format > Change Case which opens a Change Case Window with options there with radio buttons for – Sentence case, lowercase, UPPERCASE, Title Case, and tOGGLE cASE.

 

 

Open Office – Open Office has a capability through Format > Change Case. Here the options are – Sentence Case, lower case, UPPER CASE, Capitalize every word, tOGGLE cASE. If Open Office is ‘Enabled for Asian Languages’ there will be additional options available.

 

Icons for changes to Uppercase and Lowercase can be added to visible buttons on the Formatting tool bar to be used on highlighted text. This can be used both in Open Office Writer and Calc documents.
