Farm Wars The TV and your computer monitor can be used to manipulate your nervous system. Here is the proof. Read it and weep: Nervous system manipulation by electromagnetic fields from monitors US Patent #6,506,148 “SUMMARY: Computer monitors and TV monitors can be made to emit weak low-frequency electromagnetic fields merely by pulsing the intensity of displayed images. Experiments have shown that the 1/2 Hz sensory resonance can be excited in this manner in a subject near the monitor. The 2.4 Hz sensory resonance can also be excited in this fashion. Hence, a TV monitor or computer monitor can be used to manipulate the nervous system of nearby people.” “It is thus ...

Scientists: Sun's approaching 'Grand Cooling" assures new Ice Age February 18, 2011 NASA and the ESA agree, and so does the Russian space agency, Roscosmos—the sun is headed for a Grand Solar Minimum and a Grand Cooling will commence.The aptly named Grand Cooling is exactly what it implies: the sun is going to cool. That cooling will also cool off the Earth. It will last from 30 to 50 years.What exactly does global cooling mean? Well for one, Al Gore was sure wrong! The Earth isn't going to warm, it's going to get colder. Much colder. So cold a little or full-blown Ice Age will ensue. As a matter of fact, some scientists claim we're ...

- Plastic bags help you carry your groceries home, they make excellent liners for smaller-sized trash cans, and now they can help you to heat your home. A Japanese inventor has found a way to convert plastic grocery bags, bottles and caps into usable petroleum. Plastic bags are, of course, made from petroleum to begin with, but it is not the same kind of petroleum that is used in fuel. In order to turn home waste into home power the machine heats up the waste plastic and traps the vapors created in a system of pipes and water chambers. Finally, the machine condenses the vapors into crude oil, that can be used for heating on the home level. New invention can turn your plastic bags into ...
Exponential growth moving into medicine

Physicist Albert Bartlett once said, “The greatest shortcoming of the human race is our inability to understand the exponential function.” He's dead on. His insight can shed some serious light on the human condition and improve the condition of your portfolio. In 1877, when Edison recited “Mary Had a Little Lamb” for his first phonograph, who would've thought we'd ever tweet on iPhoExponential Curvenes? When the Wright Brothers made their first flight in 1900, who would've thought we'd be able to fly to the moon? And when the Army unveiled the Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer (ENIAC) in 1946, surely no one thought there would soon be a ...

Apple sent Timothy D. Cook, its chief operating officer, to China last year to review the operations of a principal manufacturing partner after nearly a dozen suicides by factory employees raised concerns about working conditions. In a report on suppliers that it publishes annually, Apple said that Mr. Cook and a team of independent suicide prevention experts conducted a review of Foxconn’s factory in Shenzhen in June and made a series of recommendations for changes in August. Mr. Cook and the team also reviewed changes that Foxconn had put in place, which included “hiring a large number of psychological counselors, establishing a 24-hour care center and even attaching large ...

Putting Poppies in the Gas Tank Published on 02-14-2011 Source: The Atlantic Back in the fall of 2008, Michael Bester and a business partner, both Army veterans doing contract work in Afghanistan, hit on the equivalent of the counterinsurgency’s trifecta: a way to improve the lives of ordinary Afghans, eliminate the illegal opium trade, and take the Taliban’s money. “We had been in villages where children were dying because they didn’t have proper medicine, because they didn’t have refrigerators,” Bester told me. Light up the villages, and perhaps you could empower Afghans to resist the Taliban. And the fuel? Most any feedstock would work, but one compelling ...

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) Feb 15 - The multi-channel-blocking drug dronedarone (Multaq) has rate- and rhythm-controlling properties that benefit patients with atrial fibrillation, according to findings published in the February 4th online issue of the American Journal of Cardiology. "Our findings confirm the antiarrhythmic effect of dronedarone, in terms of maintaining sinus rhythm and slowing the heart rate during atrial fibrillation," Dr. Richard L. Page from University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, Madison, told Reuters Health by email. The trial was sponsored by Sanofi-Aventis, and all investigators were either paid consultants or employees of ...
Human activity spurs heavy rain and snowfall

An increase in heavy precipitation that has afflicted many countries is at least partly a consequence of human influence on the atmosphere, climate scientists reported in a new study. In the first major paper of its kind, the researchers used elaborate computer programs that simulate the climate to analyze whether the rise in severe rainstorms, heavy snowfalls and similar events could be explained by natural variability in the atmosphere. They found that it could not, and that the increase made sense only when the computers factored in the effects of greenhouse gases released by human activities like the burning of fossil fuels. As reflected in previous studies, the likelihood of extreme ...

An independent panel of scientists has determined that the FBI did not have enough scientific evidence to produce a conviction in the case of the 2001 anthrax attacks that killed five people. The National Academies of Sciences released a review Tuesday of the science used in the investigation. The $1.1 million report, which was commissioned by the FBI, concluded that the man accused in the case, Bruce Ivins, could have carried out the attacks, but the science alone did not prove it. In October and September of 2001, letters containing anthrax killed five people and infected 17 others. Recipients included NBC News, The New York Post, Sen. Tom Daschle (D-SD) and Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT). ...

February 10, 2011 —The state-run China Aviation Industry Corp., known as AVIC, has teamed with a small California-based aircraft company to possibly bid for U.S. defense contracts including the future replacement for the Marine One Presidential helicopter fleet. AVIC, which purchased a share of Epic Aircraft last year and is the producer of the J-20 stealth fighter, is working with U.S. Aerospace Inc. to offer up its AC-313 helicopter, its largest homegrown helicopter. Whether AVIC could convince U.S. political leaders to allow Chinese participation in defense contracts is not deterring its plans as the company and U.S. Aerospace are also planning to offer AVIC’s L-15 jet trainer ...

43;43;43;43; "Every day natural gas flares blaze across swaths of Africa, Russia, Asia and the Middle East, burning off 10 billion cubic feet of energy--the equivalent of 1.7 million barrels of oil. There's more gas where that came from. Reserves of "stranded" natural gas--the stuff that's abandoned because there's no economical way to transport it--come to maybe 2,500 trillion cubic feet. If captured and converted, the gas would make (after conversion losses) 250 billion barrels of synthetics, from clean-burning diesel to jet fuel. That's like finding another Saudi Arabia."

The latest research belies the idea that storms are getting more extreme. Last week a severe storm froze Dallas under a sheet of ice, just in time to disrupt the plans of the tens of thousands of (American) football fans descending on the city for the Super Bowl. On the other side of the globe, Cyclone Yasi slammed northeastern Australia, destroying homes and crops and displacing hundreds of thousands of people. Some climate alarmists would have us believe that these storms are yet another baleful consequence of man-made CO2 emissions. In addition to the latest weather events, they also point to recent cyclones in Burma, last winter's fatal chills in Nepal and Bangladesh, ...
Russian scientists expect asteroid hit in 2036

In 2004, NASA scientists announced that there was a chance that Apophis, an asteroid larger than two football fields, could smash into Earth in 2029. A few additional observations and some number-crunching later, astronomers noted that the chance of the planet-killer hitting Earth in 2029 was nearly zilch. Now, reports out of Russia say that scientists there estimate Apophis will collide with Earth on April 13, 2036. These reports conflict on the probability of such a doomsday event, but the question remains: How scared should we be? “Technically, they’re correct, there is a chance in 2036 [that Apophis will hit Earth]," said Donald Yeomans, head of NASA’s Near-Earth ...

Genetically modified plants hold the key to saving the banana industry Queensland University of Technology (QUT) scientists have genetically modified a trial crop of banana plants to survive a soil-borne fungus which has wiped out plantations in the Northern Territory and is threatening crops across the globe. Professor James Dale, director of the Centre for Tropical Crops and Biocommodities based at QUT, said the destruction of crops in Queensland by Tropical Cyclone Yasi proved just how important it was to have a back up available. Professor Dale said if genetically modified plants could overcome the disease, known as Tropical Race Four, it would act as an insurance policy to supply ...

To realize a sustainable society, the use of biofuels is needed to reduce the dependence on fossil fuels as energy sources. One of the most ideal systems to effectively produce bioethanol is the Consolidated Bioprocessing system. Yeast cell surface engineering technology is a very promising method for the construction of CBP. In future studies, cell surface engineering will be a more valuable molecular tool for the degradation of cellulosic materials and the production of all biofuels including bioethanol, biobutanol, and biodiesel at high efficiency and low cost. Moreover, metabolic engineering and synthetic biology are important tools for the construction of engineered host fermentation ...

The Earth's magnetic pole is inexplicably shifting, creating unstoppable forces generating monster storms which we have seen at the beginning of 2011. There is evidence that a cycle of super-storms has started, the latest being the gigantic ice storm across North America. Is this the beginning of a new Ice Age? Frightening new evidence begins to surface about the Earth's wobble, its effect on the climate and the beginning of a new Ice Age, heralded by a series of monster storms such as those unleashed on the UK in late 2010, the USA before Christmas and now again at the beginning of February and Eastern Australia, first with its worst flooding ever and then with a Category 5 ...
