China has successfully tested a train that can develop the speed of up to 500 kilometers per hour, RIA Novosti report with reference to local media. The tests of the new high-speed locomotive took place on Sunday at the base in Qingdao city. Currently, China uses CRH 380 train models in the network of national high-speed railways. The trains travel at the speed of 250-300 kilometers per hour. The new train is not going to travel at 500 kilometers per hour in commercial operation. The Chinese bullet train will limit the speed to 350-380 kilometers per hour. Officials with the company that produced the new train said that safety was their first priority during the creation of the new ...

An intrepid British angler today told how he snared a predator which kills men - by biting off their testicles. Fearless Jeremy Wade, 53, spent weeks hunting for the fish in remote Papua New Guinea after locals reported a mysterious beast which was castrating young fishermen. He finally unmasked the perpetrator as the Pacu fish - known locally as ‘The Ball Cutter’ - and managed to catch one in his small wooden fishing boat. Brave: Jeremy Wade, pictured with the ferocious 'Ball Cutter' fish which has killed two men by biting off their testicles Brave: Jeremy Wade, pictured with the ferocious 'Ball Cutter' fish which has killed two men by biting off their ...

“I'm spending a fortune on gas,” he told me after throwing back his second glass of some very powerful eggnog. My cousin, who owns a small HVAC company just outside of Richmond, drives 110 miles round-trip six days a week. He used to live closer to his office, but he decided to move out to the country in 2006. And while his house and adjoining 12 acres are blanketed with peace and quiet, his daily commute is one that I wouldn't wish on anyone. And of course, any time gas prices head north, he feels it. But these days, it's a little worse... His business has been struggling for the past couple of years. He's still profitable, but he's not pulling in the ...

In a groundbreaking interview, Infowars Nighly News host Rob Dew speaks with Don Browning, a K9 unit police officer for OKC, and Holland Van den Nieuwenhof, writer & producer for already classic exposé A Noble Lie. Browning, who found many living and dead in the Murrah rubble, discusses how he received thinly-veiled threats from the feds after he began asking questions about the inconsistencies he witnessed in part of a continuing series of interviews re-examining the official lies of the Oklahoma City Bombing, which paved the way for 9/11 and false flag events yet to come.

Wisconsin town seeks to ban unregistered bicycles, pedestrians from using public roads

(NaturalNews) Biking, running, or even walking in the town of Hull, Wisc., without official government permission could soon become an "illegal" offense. The Stevens Point Journal reports that a public safety committee in Hull is working towards mandating that all non-automobile travelers who plan to use public roadways or streets in Hull first register their "travel plans" with town officials before being allowed to use them. The highly restrictive proposal, which many are rightly dubbing an illegal and unconstitutional violation of individual liberty, is a response to supposed accidents and other road safety issues that are allegedly on the rise as a result of ...
People can teach themselves new skills in dreams

The idea of the surreal Hollywood blockbuster Inception, where people travel through someone's dreams to 'plant' an idea in his head may not be so out-there after all. Researchers at Yale have found that 'lucid dreamers' - dreamers who have 'waking dreams' that they control - are able to learn new skills in their dreams. A team is now experimenting with the idea of 'training' people by telling them what to dream about. While the idea of 'walking through' someone's dreams, as in the hit movie Inception is fictional - and likely to remain so - dreams are good for more than just entertainment, say researchers While the idea of 'walking ...

Being educated at an international school gives students huge advantages. Now students can be educated online by the International School of Berne, Switzerland from anywhere in the world. Expat families are unique. Expat students, (the infamous Third Culture Kids - TCKs) are certainly unique. But even after reading all the books that help us identify these expat characteristics - and most of it rings real and true for those of us who have ventured out for an exciting life abroad - we are still left with our belief that we are special and different. An expat experience is profoundly personal and unique no matter how homogenous we may be. We have to believe that we have an individual story ...
Norwegian motorist drove without licence for 36 years

Police in western Norway were left scratching their heads when a 73-year-old man stopped at a random checkpoint admitted driving without a licence for the last 36 years. In fact, the driver’s confession was so unusual that police and judicial authorities struggled to find a precedent when deciding on an appropriate punishment for the undocumented driver from Sogn og Fjordane. Sogn district court eventually settled on a two-month suspended sentence and a 10,000-kroner (€1,700) fine, newspaper Bergens Tidende reports. Police said they had found the man's story almost impossible to believe and double-checked with the Norwegian Public Roads Administration before confirming ...
Chinese wines beat French at own game

French wine growers had their finely trained noses put out of joint when they were trounced by a group of Chinese wines in a blind tasting. The event, which took place in Beijing, lined up five French wines against five from China. To guarantee fair play, the judges were made up of five French and five Chinese wine experts. Four wines from the north-western Ningxia region of China beat all the wines from Bordeaux, France’s most famous wine area. The first placed wine was a cabernet sauvignon from the Grace Vineyard Chairman’s reserve. It was left to a 2009 Lafite Saga from the Medoc area of Bordeaux to restore Gallic pride in fifth place. The event was reminiscent of a ...

Using baby foreskins to improve women's cosmetics

A research organization is growing human skin in the hope of using it to trial cosmetics and medicines, reducing the need for animal testing. The synthetic skin is made using cells from infant foreskins. The idea of a "skin factory" may sound sinister, but that is exactly what scientists at the Fraunhofer Institute in Stuttgart have created. Their so-called Hautfabrik grows tiny swatches of skin - not for skin grafts, but for testing consumer products. The renowned institute is presenting their ground-breaking invention as an affordable and sustainable alternative to animal testing, which many consider unnecessarily cruel. The skin factory is a machine measuring seven metres ...
Holiday Season Hypocrisy

Holiday Season Hypocrisy - by Stephen Lendman Most Christians celebrate Christmas on December 25. For Eastern Orthodox faith adherents, it's January 7. It commemorates Christ's birthday, even though it's widely acknowledged not to be that day. Many African Americans also celebrate Kwanzaa from December 26 - January 1 to reconnect to their cultural and historic heritage. In addition, Jews commemorate Hanukkah. The eight-day Festival of Lights observes the rededication of Jerusalem's Holy Temple at the time of second century BC the Maccabean Revolt. Beginning the day after Thanksgiving, the season also involves obsessive consumerism. Merriam Webster calls it "the ...

An Art Form in Crisis Ignores the Rot Within "Ted Rall, mop-headed antiestablishment political cartoonist, has abundant talent, a 1,400-drawing portfolio, seven years' experience, the acclaim of peers and the approval of newspaper editors who, every so often, print his work. What he lacks is someone who will hire him full-time." That's from The New York Times. In 1995. Editorial cartooning, a unique art form whose modern version originated in 18th century France and has become more pointed, sophisticated and effective in the United States than any other country, was in big trouble back then. Newspapers, the main employers of political cartoonists, were closing and ...

Pigeons moving up intellectual pecking order
Post Date: 2011-12-23 04:38:29 by Tatarewicz

By now, the intelligence of birds is well known. Alex the African gray parrot had great verbal skills. Scrub jays, which hide caches of seeds and other food, have remarkable memories. Pigeons, it turns out, are no slouches either. It was known that they could count. But all sorts of animals, including bees, can count. Pigeons have now shown that they can learn abstract rules about numbers, an ability which until now had been demonstrated only in primates. In the 1990s scientists trained rhesus monkeys to look at groups of items on a screen and rank them from the lowest number of items to the highest. Damian Scarf, a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Otago, in New Zealand, tried ...
