This is a domain name service that uses blockchain technology to resolve domain names. This means that there is no central authority that can be tapped to seize or shut down domain names, as is commonly the case when some government doesn't like what web sites are saying. I predicted this type of service would arise eventually. Get a domain name from Unstoppable Domains, and your web site stays up permanently. Or so the theory goes. It is brand new. ---- About Unstoppable Domains Unstoppable Domains is building Domains on blockchains. The company builds and launches it’s own domain extensions (like .com or .info) and sells domains direct to consumers at unstoppabledomains.com. ...

In Brief The Facts: University of Milan found that there is a "very high prevalence" of people who have experience with receiving messages from their deceased loved ones, like seeing or hearing them. Reflect On: Does consciousness exist outside of the body? Is biology necessary for for consciousness to thrive? What happens when we ‘die?’ We can’t quite answer that question, but we can perhaps say that something indeed does happen. The evidence for reincarnation, for example, is quite unbelievable. There have been a number of cases of children who clearly remember their past lives, describing in detail their previous family members as well as how they died and ...

Scientists find 414 million pieces of plastic debris on remote islands 1 hr ago © Silke Stuckenbrock Lead author Jennifer Lavers looks out at the plastic debris covering a Cocos (Keeling) Island beach The amount of plastic pollution previously thought to exist around the world may be a dramatic underestimate — because the vast majority of plastic pollution may actually be below the surface. That's the takeaway from a survey of plastic pollution on the beaches of Australia's Cocos Islands, made up of two coral atolls. An estimated 414 million pieces of debris are now littering the remote islands, and the vast majority of that waste is buried below the surface, ...

Many Democrats and die hard climate change fanatics would have man-made global warming deniers locked up. And if they cannot do that then at least we should have a revolution. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Bernie Sanders rallied support for the Green New Deal, with the New York congresswoman saying there should be “no middle ground” when it comes to climate change and the Vermont senator calling for a political revolution. And yes, Cortez is still saying that the world is going to end in 12 years if we do not address climate change (man-made global warming.) The BBC loves Cortez’s ideas and publishes titles like ‘Final call to save the world from ‘climate ...

Secrecy runs rampant in our world, and multiple investigations have uncovered that trillions upon trillions of our tax dollars are going towards programs that we have no idea even exist. It’s amazing how much money is scraped off of each paycheque, and how much money multiple small and big businesses pay. We are told that it’s necessary, that this is the money going towards various programs that are responsible for building our schools, employing people for necessary services and infrastructure, among many other things. It’s truly amazing how much money governments rake in from taxes, and it’s even more astonishing how much of this money is funding black budget ...

TEHRAN (FNA)- Researchers have designed a recyclable plastic that, like a Lego playset, can be disassembled into its constituent parts at the molecular level, and then reassembled into a different shape, texture, and color again and again without loss of performance or quality Light yet sturdy, plastic is great -- until you no longer need it. Because plastics contain various additives, like dyes, fillers, or flame retardants, very few plastics can be recycled without loss in performance or aesthetics. Even the most recyclable plastic, PET -- or poly(ethylene terephthalate) -- is only recycled at a rate of 20-30%, with the rest typically going to incinerators or landfills, where the ...
Something strange is happening off the coast of Portugal, and scientists have now proposed a groundbreaking explanation.

For years, João Duarte has puzzled over a seemingly boring underwater expanse off the coast of Portugal. In 1969, this site spawned a massive earthquake that rattled the shore and sparked a tsunami. But you would never know why just from looking at the broad, featureless surface of the seabed. Duarte, a marine geologist from the Instituto Dom Luiz at the University of Lisbon, wanted to find out what was going on. Now, 50 years after the event, he may finally have an answer: The bottom of the tectonic plate off Portugal's coast seems to be peeling away from its top. This action may be providing the necessary spark for one plate to start grinding beneath another in what's ...

TEHRAN (FNA)- A simple injection that can help regrow damaged tissue has long been the dream of physicians and patients alike. A new study from researchers at UBC Okanagan moves that dream closer to reality with a device that makes encapsulating cells much faster, cheaper and more effective. "The idea of injecting different kinds of tissue cells is not a new one," says Keekyoung Kim, assistant professor of engineering at UBC Okanagan and study co-author. "It's an enticing concept because by introducing cells into damaged tissue, we can supercharge the body's own processes to regrow and repair an injury." Kim says everything from broken bones to torn ligaments ...
World In Midst of Carbon Drought (w/ Prof. William Happer, Princeton University)

We’re in a carbon drought. That is according to Professor William Happer of Princeton University. The renowned physicist says when it comes to carbon dioxide, there’s more good than bad. He goes on to say most of carbon dioxide’s effect has already happened. He points to the logarithmic dependence of temperature on carbon dioxide levels. Happer says the unique properties of carbon dioxide mean that current levels would need to double for another one-degree increase in temperature and they’d have to double again for another one degree rise. --- Simon Fraser University’s Centre for Dialogue presents Conversations That Matter.

Using a special gene-editing technique they developed, the Chinese researchers were able to “enhance” the brain capacity of rhesus macaques monkeys, making them more “human-like” by adding an extra infusion of smarts, as well as enhanced memory capabilities. Known as MCPH1, the altered gene reportedly caused the monkeys’ brains to develop in a more human-like manner, with results that included improved reaction times, better short-term memory, and other human-like abilities. Following the success of this experiment, the research team decided to clone MCPH1 in order to produce a total of 11 transgenic rhesus monkeys – the goal being to create a practical ...

US F-22s came face-to-face with Russia's top fighter near Alaska and were at a major disadvantage US F-22 stealth fighter jets intercepted Russian Tu-95 bombers and Su-35 fighters that approached Alaska on Tuesday, and it highlights a downside to the US's top fighter jets. The F-22, with its incredible acrobatic abilities in the air and all-aspect stealth cloaking it from enemies at a distance, is the US's most lethal combat plane. While the F-35 was built as a flying quarterback that can dogfight, bomb ground targets, gather intelligence, or conduct surveillance, the F-22 specializes in one thing: air-to-air combat. But with today's rules of engagement, the F-22's ...
