Corporate takeover of education
Post Date: 2012-06-17 06:20:38 by Tatarewicz

In an example of "follow the money," a new report by Food and Water Watchi has found that a quarter of research funding at land grant universities comes from corporations, compared to less than 15 percent from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), giving big companies like Monsanto a stronger foothold than ever in higher education. According to the featured article by Jill Richardsonii, a whopping $7.4 billion flowed from big corporations to agricultural research in 2006―an astounding amount that's compounded by the fact that, in 2005, a third of agricultural scientists also reported consulting for private industry. In the most egregious cases, corporate boards and ...
Earth Just Decades From Doomsday – Scientists

The Earth is threatened with an abrupt change in the global ecosystem that may cause "a state shift," in as soon as a few decades, a report published on Thursday in the scientific Nature magazine says. The research by a group of 22 international scientists, including biologists, geologists, paleontologists, ecologists and theoreticians claimed the global ecosystem could soon reach a tipping point as the human population and consumption rates continue to grow. A global “state shift” occurs when from 50 to 90 percent of ecosystems are disrupted, the study says. "Humans now dominate Earth, changing it in ways that threaten its ability to sustain us and other ...

They have been sighted in public wearing their unique outfits and sporting their distinctive look, witnesses said. JMA/AS/HGL ...

Dowsing - CoastToCoast recap
Post Date: 2012-06-16 06:51:26 by Tatarewicz
0 Comments
Dowsing: In the latter half, alternative healers Dave & Erina Cowan talked about how they use dowsing, and the mechanics behind it. Classic dowsing is a way of accessing information through subtle changes in your physiology about the environment around you, such as when a farmer needs to locate a well or a stream, said Dave. Using a simple tool like a pendulum, they tune into the electromagnetic field of the Earth, as well as the energy of moving water, and their own "superconscious" (unconscious) mind gives feedback about changes in the energy, as they move across the land, he continued. A second type of dowsing "is when we spin the pendulum ourselves-- we actually ...
Preparing for the apocalypse

I personally witnessed what can happen within a very short period of time when food is no longer available to the public. I was in my early twenties, living in Paris, France. Because of an extended truckers' strike, the food stores were cleared out within 24 hours of the announcement. Within five days, normally law-abiding citizens took to the streets and began threatening anyone who had food... Those with no food quickly crossed the line of sanity and started desperately looking to take food from those who had it by any means necessary. These events were never properly covered by the news media (what a surprise!), but I saw firsthand how uncivilized a so-called "modern ...

JIUQUAN, June 15 (Xinhua) -- China's first female astronaut, Liu Yang, is expected to improve the Shenzhou-9 mission crew's working efficiency, a spokeswoman of China's manned space program said Friday. "Generally speaking, female astronauts have better durability, psychological stability and ability to deal with loneliness," Wu Ping said at a press conference at Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center. She added that a manned space program without the participation of women would be incomplete. More than 50 female astronauts from seven countries have to date served in space missions. The longest space flight by a female astronaut lasted 188 days. "The fact fully ...
CoastZone - Researching Reincarnation

On Monday's show, making his Coast debut, journalist and publisher, Roy Stemman, who has spent his life researching the paranormal, talked about his most recent work investigating reincarnation, comparing the best-documented case studies from around the world. There are mainly two types of cases, he explained, children who spontaneously remember past lives, and adults who recall previous incarnations through past life regressions (hypnosis). A lot of material was available in parapsychology journals, but many astonishing cases had never made it into the public domain, he noted. In the cases that involve children, they typically start having recall of a past life around the ages of 2 ...

1984, Round 2 Stephen Van Esch - 2001.06.13 Apple seems to be on a roll these days. Knock your socks off hardware, a new assault on the education market, accolades for their software efforts - and the list goes on. I can honestly say that this might be Apple's last big chance to press forward and gain new users. I think Apple can gain new users easily enough with its product offerings, but at this point they may be getting a huge helping hand from their old rival (now the ugly aunt that they must pucker up and kiss at family reunions) Microsoft. Microsoft, of course owns the majority of the desktop OS market. Over 90% of the world's computers run some version of Windows. Unless ...

Ancient 'White City' of Gold is Discovered

It 's a storyline that could be found in an Indiana Jones movie. But this time there is no Harrison Ford, just some of the smartest scientists in the world. Using advanced laser mapping technology, researchers from the University of Houston and the National Center for Airborne Laser Mapping (NCALM) have discovered a remote region of Honduras that may have exposed the legendary lost city of Ciudad Blanca, known as the 'White City' of gold. The city is shown in several texts as the birthplace of the Aztec god Quetzalcoatl and old reported sightings over the years have described golden idols and elaborately carved white stones like the one shown below from the fabled El Dorado ...
Natural Gas Vehicles Will Kill the Electric Car

Kill the Electric Car? Although I'm a long-time supporter of electric vehicles, it would be irresponsible as an investor to ignore potential threats to this market. So for the sake of clarification, I've decided to take a closer look at the benefits of natural gas-powered vehicles to see if they are, in fact, enough to close the lid on electric car development. The first benefit is fuel price. The most recent EPA report of compressed natural gas (CNG) prices indicates $2.13 per equivalent gasoline gallon. In some parts of the country, that's half the price of 87 Octane. Of course, natural gas won't be dirt cheap forever... but neither will gasoline. Quite frankly, I ...
$90 Million Silver Ponzi Scheme Exposed

They say that silver pays off, but not quite like this... Ronnie Gene Wilson and Atlantic Bullion & Coin have banked up to $90 million in a massive silver ponzi scheme. The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission is charging both Wilson and Atlantic Bullion & Coin with fraud in connection to a massive Ponzi scheme in violation of the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) and CFTC regulations. The scheme was over a decade in the making. The defendants operated out of Easley, South Carolina and allegedly sold silver contracts throughout the nation without actually purchasing any physical silver whatsoever. Sounds like a pretty sweet deal: all of the riches, none of the leg work. ...
Boston teacher tells grads: you're not special

A straight-talking Boston teacher gave his students a reality check during their graduation, using his address to tell them they were 'not special'. In a rant targeting modern American parenting, Wellesley High teacher David McCullough Jr reminded the 'pampered, cosseted and doted upon' seniors that they are just another person on a planet with a population of 6.8billion - and therefore utterly insignificant. 'Yes, you’ve been pampered, cosseted, doted upon, helmeted, bubble wrapped... nudged, cajoled, wheedled .. feted and fawned over and called sweetie pie,' he told the teenagers in the speech, published on http://BostonHerald.com.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A Somali Islamist militant group is offering rewards of chickens and camels for information on the whereabouts of President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, mocking the millions of dollars the United States has offered for leaders of the al Qaeda affiliate. Fuad Muhammad Khalaf of the Shabaab al-Mujahideen Movement in Somalia made the offer after Friday prayers, according to the SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors militant organizations. "Whoever reveals the hideout of the idiot Obama will be rewarded with 10 camels, and whoever reveals the hideout of the old woman Hillary Clinton will be rewarded 10 chickens and 10 roosters," he ...

Bing signs Encyclopaedia Britannica for search results

Microsoft has signed a deal with Encyclopaedia Britannica to add entries from the reference work to Bing. The tie-up means summaries of topics using data from the Encyclopaedia will be added to some search results. The deal builds on Britannica's decision in March to stop producing a print edition. It is also seen as a response to Google's "knowledge graph" that consolidates search information about specific subjects. Microsoft announced the deal via a blogpost and said when information from Britannica was relevant to a search, Bing users would see a small box summarising salient facts about a topic or subject. At the same time it would also provide links to other ...

In a modified version of the film “Indecent Proposal,” a German couple have auctioned off their wedding night to a stranger – and been offered just €366 for it. An online advert placed by “NicoleBlow37” – whose real name is Sandra – reads, “Yes, you read correctly: You may take me in front of my husband on our wedding night.” The Bild newspaper reported on Tuesday that one lucky bidder bagged the chance to fulfil the couple's long-time fantasy, which involves the 38-year-old woman being seduced by a stranger in a hotel - only to be caught by her groom. “We'll meet in a hotel which you, as a gentleman, will pay for,” the ...

Stem Cell Research: On Tuesday's show, renegade thinker & scientist Robert Lanza discussed the nature of the Universe, and his theory of 'biocentrism,' as well as the latest developments in stem cell therapy. Dr. Lanza, who is currently the Chief Scientific Officer of Advanced Cell Technology, said they've developed multiple methods of "cellular reprogramming," and a type of stem cell (akin to nanoparticles), that can be injected into the bloodstream and will travel to where damage repair is needed such as in the heart. A new type of super-potent stem cell demonstrated success in stopping multiple sclerosis in animal tests, he reported, which gives hope that ...

Half of US Susceptible to Online Scams, Study Finds

If you browse the Web, chances are you’ve seen alerts saying you’re the millionth viewer or offering a vague “work from home” opportunity. Or maybe you’ve received emails saying you’re the heir to $52 million, and you just need to wire over some money for the transfer. Despite the seemingly obvious nature of these scams, a study found that close to half the people targeted by them are likely to fall victim. The study was conducted by digital security company PC Tools, and the Ponemon Institute, a think tank that researches privacy and data protection. The results drift away from some stereotypes: young people, between 18 and 25, were more likely to fall for ...
