BEIJING, July 29 (Xinhua) -- More and more Chinese students are putting overseas study tours on their agenda this summer. Consisting of language courses, sightseeing and international communication, study tours meet the demands of Chinese parents and students for a long and fruitful holiday, despite high costs of around 4,000 to 6,000 U.S. dollars. This year saw the number of students going abroad for study tours increase by nearly 40 percent, with reservations for tours starting almost a year ago, according to English First, a Swedish-English education company in China.

Jonathan Freedland, a British-Jewish journalist infamous for hailing the demographic eclipse of the British people in their own homeland as “a kind of triumph,” has devoted the last twelve months of his miserable journalistic life to neurotic attacks on the Trump presidency. His hyperbolic writings at the Guardian, while making little original contribution to the intellectual debate over the progress of the Trump administration, have instead revealed much about the paranoid preoccupations of Freedland, the Left, and elements of the organized Jewish community. Until recently, Freedland’s rantings have been predictable. In Freedland’s caricature-like portrayals, Trump ...

Sci-alert... The summer can be a great time to start a new relationship. Maybe it's that lingering 'school's out' mentality that makes us feel young and carefree. Or, hey, maybe it's that people look better when they aren't bundled up in an oversized turtleneck sweater. Dating site Match told Business Insider that July tends to be one of its busiest months. Match's chief scientific adviser, Helen Fisher, said that might be because summertime is the mating season in many species - and even though humans breed all year long, "increasing light does give us a sunny personality and more energy and optimism - all of which could increase our sexuality."

C2C... While we like to say that there are no coincidences, there are a handful of baffling events in the annals of history that truly make one wonder. YouTube user Dark5 has put together a collection of eerie stories from the past which involve strange cases of serendipity. Perhaps the most jaw-dropping tale featured in the video centers around a Civil War-era man named Wilmer McLean. The Virginia resident found himself too old to serve in the Confederate army as forces were gathering before the war in 1861. Nonetheless, McLean offered his farm as a staging area for soldiers and the site subsequently served as the setting for the legendary First Battle of Bull Run, which seen as the de ...

WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump has declined an invitation to address the annual convention of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said on Wednesday. The White House did not offer any details on why Trump would not speak to the 108-year-old civil rights group. "My understanding is that the invitation has been declined for this year," Sanders told reporters at a briefing. She said that while Trump would not speak at the conference, the White House would be happy to have a dialog with the group. "We would certainly like to be able to continue to do that," Sanders said. The NAACP did not immediately ...

C2C-AM...... researcher in non-local consciousness and futurist Stephan Schwartz talked about major trends that face us today, as well as what remote viewers saw when they looked at the year 2050. The 2016 election, he declared, was decided on four "mega-trends" that no one talked about: being born white will no longer confirm privilege; being born male will no longer bestow dominance; Western European and North American culture values will no longer be the determinant on how the world runs; and we are witnessing a transfer of real power from the nation state to the virtual corporate state. Racial issues have been inflamed in the US, and this is because America is becoming a ...

In the 1920s, USSR scientists investigated “biological radio communications,” more popularly known as telepathy. Three years after he started to study telepathy, on August 20, 1922, Bernard Bernardovich Kazhinskiy arrived as part of a four-man delegation at the labs of Vladimir L. Durov, Russia’s most famous animal trainer. Durov was almost 60, and he’d spent most of his life in the circus. At first, he had been a trapeze artist and clown, but as the years passed, his act began to focus on animals—dogs, monkeys, ducks, geese, goats, guinea pigs, bears, lions. Over time, Durov became known for his ability to communicate with trained animals by “mental ...

US court says it has no say over president's drone programme but Judge Brown says 'congressional oversight is a joke'. Washington, DC - A US federal appeals court has thrown out a lawsuit by the families of two Yemeni men allegedly killed as innocent bystanders in a US drone attack in 2012 but one of the judges said US' "democracy is broken" after announcing the ruling. The unanimous ruling by a three-judge panel in Washington on Friday upheld a lower court's finding that it had no say over the president's drone programme. The case began in 2015 when two family members of Faisal bin Ali Jaber, who brought the "wrongful death" case against then ...

Sputnik... An allegedly 128-year-old man in Salta, Argentina has announced he is in fact former Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, and has spent the last 70 years in hiding. While his claims stretch the bounds of believability to breaking point, they coincide with the discovery of a trove of Nazi memorabilia in the country. Speaking in an interview with local media, the naturalized German immigrant explains he arrived in 1945 with a passport — allegedly a forgery produced by the Gestapo at the conclusion of World War II — identifying him as Herman Guntherberg.

Listen to "Blacklisted Radio" on Spreaker. Source: phys.org Globally, from China and Germany to the United States, electric vehicle (EV) subsidies have been championed as an effective strategy to boost production of renewable technology and reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). But a new study by Concordia economics professor Ian Irvine shows that subsidizing EVs in the North American context will not reduce GHG emissions in the short-term, and may even increase them—at a cost to taxpayers. Recently published in Canadian Public Policy, Irvine's study compared the incentives for producing EVs that are found in the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards, ...

Texas-based mystic Horacio Villegas purportedly foresaw Trump's victory a few years ago and warned that the billionaire businessman, whom he called the "Illuminati king," would spawn WWIII following an attack on Syria.

According to Villegas, the vision featured hordes of people running through the city streets as balls of fire, which he interpreted to be ...
Edison and Tesla C2C program summary

C2C... Thomas Edison was convinced that there was a reality unseen by the human eye. This led to the last and least-known of all his inventions, the "spirit phone." His former associate (and bitter rival) Nikola Tesla was also developing a similar device. "Both of them thought there was a consumer market for talking to the dead," said Birnes. In the second half, he described the rivalry and how Edison’s own near-death experience formed his theory that animate life forms don’t die, but rather change the nature of their composition. America in the 1920s saw a revival of spiritualism, with families trying to communicate with dead relatives who had perished in ...

C2C-AM... An odd video of a raging flood flowing through the streets of a Colombian city may show some kind of spirit 'escaping' from the chaos. Filmed in the city of Barranquilla, the remarkable footage is already breathtaking thanks to the sheer enormity of the disaster unfolding. However as the camera pans across the road, an eerie white anomaly appears to dash out of the water and onto the nearby sidewalk. As one might expect, many have suggested that the oddity is a ghost, perhaps of someone killed in the devastating flood which killed 94 people, or even an angel. Skeptics argue that the 'apparition' is something prosaic like a reflection or water hitting the ...

The "present Central Banking Warfare Model" is dead, he continued, and "Trump represents the latest and most desperate attempt of one part of the word's elite to survive economic ...

RT... A military convoy of nuclear warhead carriers was left stranded on the side of the public M40 motorway on Monday when one of the vehicles in the escort broke down. According to anti-nuclear campaign group Nukewatch, the convoy was left stranded at a slip road near Bicester on Monday morning. The vehicles were making their way from the warhead assembly plant at Burghfield. Nukewatch said the trucks were heading to Coulport on Loch Long, Scotland, where warheads are stored and loaded aboard the Trident submarines. It is unlikely an armed warhead would have been on the trucks, but they could have been carrying high explosive materials and highly radioactive plutonium. A police ...
