It is time to pay attention to cold climate change—the reality of life we are all going to experience. This month, this year is the start to a cold that will chill the earth and all its inhabitants. This is spring in Manhattan in the above picture, where in Central Park they had their biggest April snowstorm in 36 years. Now we are well into Spring and cold, wintry conditions are still what most Americans are having to deal with. As we move forward into spring it is a lot colder then we would expect in a seriously warming planet. The headlines for the weekend of the 7th of April read: Record-breaking, ‘ridiculous’ April cold and snow set to hit northeastern U.S. this ...
Rewriting Life DNA tests for IQ are coming, but it might not be smart to take one

MIT... Scientists have linked hundreds of genes to intelligence. One psychologist says it’s time to test school kids. Ready for a world in which a $50 DNA test can predict your odds of earning a PhD or forecast which toddler gets into a selective preschool? Robert Plomin, a behavioral geneticist, says that’s exactly what’s coming. For decades genetic researchers have sought the hereditary factors behind intelligence, with little luck. But now gene studies have finally gotten big enough—and hence powerful enough—to zero in on genetic differences linked to IQ. A year ago, no gene had ever been tied to performance on an IQ test. Since then, more than 500 have, ...

Verge... ”We want to move from people needing Windows to choosing Windows, to loving Windows. That is our bold goal,” said Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella three years ago. At the time, Microsoft was unveiling more details about Windows 10, and surprising people with technologies like the HoloLens headset. It was an exciting time of opportunity and optimism that had Microsoft betting on people loving Windows so much that Windows 10 would be running on 1 billion devices within three years. Neither wager worked out — which is fine, because Windows as we know it is no longer critical to Microsoft’s future success. Microsoft announced a new reorganization yesterday. It’s ...

How to store meat long-term when living off-grid Thursday, March 29, 2018 by: Zoey Sky (Natural News) Preppers know that there are several methods that can be used to prepare meat for long-term storage. However, canning is one of the simplest ways to store meat when SHTF because it ensures that the food has a long shelf life. Canning meat when you’re off-grid is similar to when you’re canning meat the modern way. If you have access to solar power, canning meat will be as easy as doing it in a modern kitchen. (h/t to BioPrepper.com) Pressure canning is the recommended method of canning meat and low-acid vegetables to prevent a fatal kind of food poisoning called botulism. ...

No one really knows the exact number of cells, but we can approximate to about 10-50 trillion. Cells are always created and destroyed in the human body. About 300 million cells die every minute in our bodies! Since different cells have different jobs in our body, there are about 210 different "types" of cells. These are replaced at a rate of about 2 million per second (again, from wikipedia). There are 86,400 seconds in a day and so: (2 million x 86,400) + 50 to 70 billion = 222 billion to 242 billion cells produced every day by the average human body. Note, this is for the average adult. How many cells are produced in human body? And their final count is…37.2 trillion. ...

Experts Warn The Next Carrington Event Will Plunge Us Back Into The Dark Ages March 21, 2014 0 Comments Michael Snyder The Truth March 21, 2014 Most people have absolutely no idea that the Earth barely missed being fried by a massive EMP burst from the sun in 2012, in 2013 and just last month. If any of those storms would have directly hit us, the result would have been catastrophic. Image: Solar Flare (Wiki Commons). Electrical transformers would have burst into flames, power grids would have gone down and much of our technology would have been fried. In essence, life as we know it would have ceased to exist – at least for a time. These kinds of solar storms have hit the ...
Researchers Uncover Framework for How Stem Cells Determine Where to Form Replacement Structures
Post Date: 2018-03-21 04:57:48 by Tatarewicz

TEHRAN (FNA)- Researchers at Whitehead Institute have uncovered a framework for regeneration that may explain and predict how stem cells in adult, regenerating tissue determine where to form replacement structures. In a paper that appeared online March 15 in the journal Science, the researchers describe a model for planarian (flatworm) eye regeneration that is governed by three principles acting in concert, which inform how progenitor cells behave in regeneration. The model invokes positional cues that create a scalable map; self-organization that attracts progenitors to existing structures; and progenitor cells that originate in a diffuse spatial zone, rather than a precise location, ...

John 1:5 – And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. For me, there is something about the night sky with its countless brilliant stars that evokes feelings of wonder, delight, astonishment, humility and worship. I cannot explain these feelings to anyone who does not have a sense of the numinous, as C.S. Lewis put it, to someone who is convinced there is nothing sacred and that there is no God; perhaps it would be like explaining music to someone who was born deaf or color to one who was born blind, someone too stubborn to believe that things he hasn’t experienced truly exist. The recent death of a secular saint, the much praised physicist Stephen ...

fna.ir/a4inc5 TEHRAN (FNA)- Researchers have produced a 'human scale' demonstration of a new phase of matter called quadrupole topological insulators that was recently predicted using theoretical physics. These are the first experimental findings to validate this theory. The team's work with QTIs was born out of the decade-old understanding of the properties of a class of materials called topological insulators. "TIs are electrical insulators on the inside and conductors along their boundaries, and may hold great potential for helping build low-power, robust computers and devices, all defined at the atomic scale," said mechanical science and engineering professor ...

RT... A new flying car has been unveiled by Google co-founder Larry Page’s Kitty Hawk company. The makers hope it will usher in a new era of self-flying ‘air taxis’ that would work like Uber. The vehicle, named ‘Cora,’ is an electric air taxi designed and built by Kitty Hawk, a California-based company. After eight years in development, the company released a video and a statement, launching the vehicle this week. According to the statement, Cora “rises like a helicopter and flies like a plane,” meaning it does not require a runway and can even take off from rooftops. It uses self-flying software, so no pilot training is needed. Kitty Hawk is working ...
Cueing New Information in Sleep Improves Memory

TEHRAN (FNA)- Scientists have long known that sleep is important to the formation and retention of new memories. Memory consolidation is associated with sudden bursts of oscillatory brain activity, called sleep spindles, which can be visualized and measured on an electroencephalogram (EEG). Now researchers have found that sleep spindles also play a role in strengthening new memories when newly learned information is played back to a person during sleep. The findings provide new insight into the process of memory consolidation during sleep. They may also suggest new ways to help people remember things better, according to the researchers. "While it has been shown previously that ...

Climate activists demonstrate in Paris, Saturday, Dec.12, 2015 during the COP21, the United Nations Climate Change Conference. Several environmental and human rights groups are planning protests around Paris to call attention to populations threatened by man-made global warming and urge an end to human use of oil, gas and coal. Apocalyptic scenarios attributed to global warming are simply false and the human race will be able to accommodate whatever “climate change” throws at us, claims a remarkably sober new essay in Scientific American. The essay, penned by John Horgan, the director of the Center for Science Writings at the Stevens Institute of Technology, analyzes two recent ...

“Cars are one of the most expensive, biggest, dangerous computers you own. It’s one of the few computers that can go 120 miles an hour. Right? Like it’s a big machine run by software that can get hacked and is, you know, dangerous.” “You want technology to progress, but at the same time you want it to be secure.” This is something that most people don’t realize about their vehicles, particularly newer models and especially the ones with the self-driving technology. Just like any other computer system, they can be hacked. Which means that someone who is not in the car, or anywhere near the car that you are driving can take over control of the car and ...

I can see the future, and it’s full of mutants. Okay, so we always had this program in mind of breeding people into some kind of super-race that’ll don power armor and conquer the universe in a grand inter-galactic crusade. But as it turns out, we have preliminary indication that simply living in space for a while is enough to cause large-scale mutations in human DNA. So this millennia-long program could be shortened significantly. If all this pans out, your grand-kids could be the first wave of 8 feet-tall space crusaders. Click for Full Text!

New model suggests contrary to dominant model Moon emerged before Earth

PressTV... A new theory has suggested a different source of origin for the Moon, the Earth’s sole natural satellite, which seems to stack up well against the dominant giant impact model. It says unlike the favored former theory, our rocky moon formed before our cosmic home emerged in its current appearance. The majority of scientists today have accepted a hypothesis that our Moon was formed after a Mars-sized object, known as Theia, hit Gaia, the early Earth, with a glancing blow around 4.5 billion years ago. The gigantic collision, according to the model, threw up large amounts of rocky material into orbit, which eventually coalesced to form the spherical object we are familiar ...
Progressives Love Science, But Don’t Know Any–the Case of the “Dark-Skinned” Prehistoric Briton

Here’s a science story from the Old Country. Britain’s main Progressive and anti-white newspaper over there, The Guardian, reported with much glee on February 7th that the remote ancestors of the British people had dark skin. Take that, white supremacists! This finding comes from recent advances in our understanding of DNA. By scrutinizing a person’s DNA closely enough, we can now tell fine details of his appearance, and even do a fair-probability reconstruction of his face. These techniques have been applied to Cheddar Man, a complete human skeleton unearthed in 1903 in Southwest England. Cheddar Man lived about nine thousand years ago, which makes his people one of the ...

PressTV... It's pretty extraordinary for people in their 80s and 90s to keep the same sharp memory as someone several decades younger, and now scientists are peeking into the brains of these "superagers" to uncover their secret. The work is the flip side of the disappointing hunt for new drugs to fight or prevent Alzheimer's disease. Instead, "why don't we figure out what it is we might need to do to maximize our memory?" said neuroscientist Emily Rogalski, who leads the SuperAging study at Chicago's Northwestern University. Parts of the brain shrink with age, one of the reasons why most people experience a gradual slowing of at least some types of ...
